ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The object of this Company is to purchase and work an ex-
tensive gold mining property, called Rossa (Roca) Grande,
in the province of Minas Geates, Israzil. It is estimated
as containing about 21 square miles, in the vicinity o the
celebrated mine of the St. John Del Rey Company. The
purchase money is to be £15,000 in cash, and an equal amount
in shares.

Captain Thomas Treloar, in his elaborate report, says—
" The rock lo chi, fly clay and talcose slate, of that character
which is highly congenial to auriferous formations, and when
I add that the lodes are not very far distant from the
junction of the slate and granite, every experienced miner
will understand its significance. Gold mines in Brazil, as
well as copper and tin mines in England, are valueless when
far trom the mysterious effect of the junction of these great
rocks.
" The estate contains three distinct auriferous formations,
which may be traced for miles, besides a rich jaeotinga
unexplored. Diamonds are said to have been found at one
spot.
" The first rock formation is of white quartz and iron, and
has yielded from half to five ounces of gold per ton; the
second is of yellow quartz And auriferous arsenical pyrites,
and has aitorded upwards of six ounces of gold per ton.
" The third is of quartz and brown oxide of iron, and about
36 feet wide. In depth 'it will probably graduate into a
pyritic-rock formation similar to that of the St. John Del
Rey Company's ,:ins at Morro Ve)ho. The whole mass of
this lode is auriferous, and portions of it have yielded 50
oitavas of gold per ton. It only requires capital, economy,
and practical experience to make those lodes as remunerative
as the Rock Mine of the St. John Del Rey Company, which
has already paid £673,710 In dividends, and one share in
which, with £l5 paid, is now worth £52."
Full reliance is to be placed upon Capt. Treloar's report,
from the fact that he has ha 1 16 years' experience in Brazil.
in the service of he St. John Del Rey Company, and is chief
engineer to the Don Pedro North Del Rey Gold Mining Com-
pany, which, under his management, has paid a dividend at
the rate of 10 per cent on its first nine months' working.
Capt. Dailey, who has long known Rossa Grande, confirms
the above report. The late Mr. George Vincent Duval.
Brazilian Mining Commissioner, also, in a work written by
him, favourably mentions Rossa Grande, classing it with
Morro Velho (St. John Del Rey), and says—" Those mines
might be aptly termed gold quarries."
Prospectuses and copies of the reports, with a map, and
forms of applications for shares, may be obtained of the
broker, of the solicitors, or at the offices of the Company.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

WEST CORK.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at their offices, Giacechurch-street, Sir C. P. Roney
in the chair.
Mr. H. W. WOOD, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that great progress had been made with the construc-
tion of the line. Since the accession of the present Board
to office in May last (when the first sod was turned) the
entire land required for the railway, 33 miles in length, had
been valued by the Government arbitrator, and his final
award given thereon. The company had already obtained
possession of lands extending for a length of between 17
and 18 miles, which had been paid for, and the remaining
lands could be speedily obtained, as required by the con-
tractors. Thirteen miles of the railway had been already
made, the greater portion of which was ballasted and ready
to receive the permanent way, and the contractors assured
the Board that their strenuous exertions should be de-
voted towards a still more vigorous prosecution of the
works, with a view to the opening of the line from Bandon
to :Dunmanway, a distance of nearly 18 miles, at the
earliest possible period. Since the last half-yearly meeting
telegraphie communication had been established between
Cork, Skibbereen, Cape Clear, and Crookhaven, by means
of which American intelligence had been received from six
to ten hours earlier than by the previously existing means,
thus proving the advantages geographically possessed by the
extreme south-western harbours of the county of Cork for
facilitating transatlantic intercourse and communication.
The rails required for the entire length of the railway had
been delivered. Nearly all the sleepers ready for the open.
ing to Dunmanway were on the ground, and the permanent
way fastenings would shortly be delivered, when the rails
and sleepers would be laid down and the line made ready
for receiving the engines and carriages. The large amount
of employment already afforded by the construction of the
works had been productive of much timely relief and sup-
port to the labouring classes throughout the districts tra-
versed. The company having now reached its borrowing
powers, the necessary legal steps had been completed for
authorising the issue of the debe2tures. Under the powers
of the company's special act a baronial :and guarantee of 4
per cent. interestper annum for a period of 29 years was at-
tached to those debentures from the opening of the line.
When the works between Bandon and Dunmanway ap-
proached nearer to completion the board expected to receive
from the Cork and Bandon Railway Company an instalment
of the £20,000 which that company wer.-: bound to subscribe
to this undertaking, as the completion of the line would
confer most important benefits on the Cork and Bandon
Railway. The directors repeated their conviction expressed
in the last report on the bona fide merits of the undertaking,
believing that it would not only confer great and lasting ad-
vantages on the extensive population and districts traversed,
but as an investment would prove both profitable and grati-
fying in its results. The capital account to the 31st Dec.
showed that £162,042 had been received and £151,872 ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £7O.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he had no doubt from the great progress already made
by tho contractors that the same energy they had always
exhibited would be continued, and that the first portion of
the line from Bandon to Dunmanway-..-nearly 18 miles in
length—would be opened for traffic in the ensuing summer.
The land did not come into the possession of the company
until everything was paid to the landlords and tenants. The
laying down of the permanent way on the portion completed
to formation level would give the directors greater facilities
in proceeding with other parts of the line. The Magnetic
Company had succeeded in establishing telegraphic commu-
nication with Crookhaven, and, by means of a steamer, were
enabled to obtain and transmit American intelligence to
England six, eight, or ten hours earlier than by the former
mode. It was also proposed to make a branch railway to
Crookhaven from their line, which proposition should have
the earliest and best attention of the board.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, re-electing
Sir C. P. Roney and Mr. J. Holland, the retiring directors,
and also Mr. J. Burton, the retiring auditor.
Mr. Kink, one of the contractors, stated that his firm
would do everything in their power in carrying on the
works to deserve the confidence placed in them by the di-
rectors,
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

SEVENOAKS, MAIDSTONE, AND TUNBRIDGE.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester-
day at the Victoria Station, Pimlico—Earl Amherst was in
the chair. The secretary (Mr. W. E. Johnson) read the re-
port, which stated that the traffic for the past half-year had
been most satisfactory, showing an increase of £1,193 over
the corresponding half of 1862, or at the rate of 43 per cent.
The balance applicable to the payment of debenture interest,
which for the same half of 1862 was £6BB, was for the past
half-year £1,643. An important accession of traffic was ex-
pected next summer, on the opening of the London,
Chatham, and Dover line to Blackfriars and Earl-street,
The working plan of the extension line to Maidstone were
on the point of completion, and arrangements were in pro-
gress for the construction of the line with the least possible
delay. The directors were applying to Parliament for
powers to carry out an arrangerient with the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company, which had already received
the sanction of the shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report.
Lord SONDES seconded the motion.
Mr. HoLBOYD, in answer to a question, said the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company worked the line at 50 per
cent. of the receipts; and if the 50 per cent. received by the
Sevenoaks Company was not sufficient to pay the interest
on the debentures and preference shares, the difference was
to be made up by the former company.
The report was adopted, and the retiring directors and
auditor were re-elected, and a vote of thanks to the chair-
man closed the proceedings.

seconded by Mr. GIBB, the report and accounts were
adopted, and the meeting separated.

STOCKPORT, DISLEY, AND WHALEYBRIDGE.
Yesterday the half-yearly meeting was held at the offices,
Leadenhall-street ; Mr. R. R. Notman in the chair. The
report, was adopted unanimously. A dividend on the
ordinary shares was declared at the rate of 3,1 per cent.

Birley, and Howard, the retiring directors, and Mr. Allan,
the retiring auditor, were re-elected.
