The principle of limited liabi'ity is now fully recognised
and adopted by the investing portion of the public. Perhaps
there is no class of institutions to which thar principle has
been more successfully app ied than to the recently esta-
blished financial companies ; and although large capitals
have been subscribed for this purpose, it cannot be denied
that there still remains a wide field open for the profitable
employment of capital both in English and foreign enter-
prises.
This Crmpany has already promises of a large amount of
support, and a provis,onal agreement has been entered into
for acquiring a valuable railway concession, with a Govern-
ment guarantee. Negotiations are also pending for securing
business arising from several undertakings, which will mate-
rially contribute t , the success of the company.
It is intended that the shareholders in this company shall,
so far as may be practicable, have the priority in applications
for shares in the various enterprises which maybe introduced
under its auspices,
The operations to be carried on by the company will be the
same as tho.e embraced by similar institutions.
The active management of the company will be conducted by
an executive committee, under the supervision and contro of
the Board 0! Directors. Two of the proposed Committe have
been many years successfully engaged in financial cperations,
and as an earnest of their confidence in the permanent success
of the Company, ht,ve agreed to hold shares in the capital to
a large extent, an to be only remuivrated for their services
by receiving a portion of the profits after paying interest to
the shareholders at the rate of five percent. upon the paid-up
capital. The directors will receive such remuneration as may
be determin d upon by the shareholders at the general meet-
ings. There will be no fees paid to promoters for originating
the Company, but arrangements have been made whereby the
preliminary expenses have been guaranteed not to exceed
one-half per cent. upon the first capital.
More than one-half of the capital has alvady been applied
for, and the business of the Corot any will be commenced
immediately after the a l'Ament of the shares.
The articles of association can be seen on applying at the
temporary offices of the Company.

without interest.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a
Railway from Ch.asso to Biasca in the Canton of Tessin,
Switzerland, with the design of extending tha line
Coir to
Lucerne, by the Alpine Pass of the St. Gothard, or to e
by the Pass of the Luckmanier.
The line now to be made from Chias o to Biasca is indis-
nensable to either of these routes, it bar, the only line al-
lowed by the Swiss Government to connect the rai
North Italy, the line being, comparatively easy of c,onstruc-
don, free from costly works, and promising a large traffic.
.ways of
The Company has, however, secured from Lehith anto inn
Tessin, bes des the concession of the line from sso !
ys of
Blasco, the preferential right to construct the extension
wa of
their line to any junction with the system
peculiarly
rail
etraluroe, whether at Lucerne or at Coiand this
advantageous condition forms a very important
feature of the present enterprise.
State subventions to a very considerable amount have been
voted in aid of t e proposed Alpine Railway, which is se-
know.ethled to be of the highest national importance to both
Switzerland and Italy.
The lines proposed by this Company will comp
the
shortest overland route to India and China across the centre
of Europe, and will effect a saving of three days' sea naviga-
tion.
As the line from Chias o to Biasca, which is i
directntemnded to
a
in the Lombardo-Ven lines, wilt open com-
unication b tween theetian most important towns of the Canton
Tessin and the railway network of Italy, connecting also the
and m
three Lakes of Como, Lulano, a n
-- —ag,iore, and as it turms
toe key of the whole po4tion. the Directors have reso ved to
commence this line forthwith, pending the surveys and ne-
gotiations for determining- the precise Alpi,e Vass to be
finally, adopted for the extension.
Responsible contrac ors have undertaken to construct and
complete the line for a sum within the amount, of capital ;
and he works were commenced on the 18th of January, in the
present e of Government officials.
Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. Ter annum will be paid
to Shareholders during construction, upon the amounts from
time to time paid in respect roc

Full particulars given in the detailed Prospectus, which
may be Lbtained, togetherg with the Map, at tha Offices of the
Company.
Applications for Shares must be addressed to the Directors,

from the beginning done all we can to eseist C.a& a S
stronger party, and disoblige the Power which,
being confined to its borders and struggling for ef.-
istence, has scant opportunity of vindicating its
rights abroad. The oppressive power of the execu-
tive has been exerted a rot/trance in the seizure and
detention of the steam rams of the Messrs. Leird,
during the seven months since the beginning of last
September, and in the prosecution which has driven
from court to court the owners of the Alexandra, at
enormous cost to them and with impunity to their
persecutors. No case can be established against the
Alexandra, no eiidence has been diticeverea which
can fairly implicate the builders of the El Tousson
and El Mon aesir. These proceedings ere in open
deflan-e of the rights of B:itish citizens, they have
been denounced es without legality and without ex-
case. The Government perseveres ia them, and Par-
liament hes refused to condemn them. What are the
rights of Englishmen when put in comparison with
the respect which is owing to the high and mighty
potentate who sits like Arimanes on his throne in
the northern Pandemonium ? To please him the
sailing of the Alabama has been deplored as a cala-
mitous event, and a law officer of the Crown, from
his place in Parliament, has stooped to use language
which may well be understood by the Federal Go-
vernment as implying a promise of full compensa-
tion to be paid by us for her ravages on Northern
commerce. We strain to the limits of its tether the
elastic Foreign Enlistment Act to oblige the Fede-
rale. Public men, when urging respect to it, speak
of it as if a municipal enactment were actually part
and parcel of international law. But how do we
carry out its provisions when it is the Confederates
and not the Federals who are to be served by our
loyalty ? Is it not a fact that thousands of
wretched Irishmen have been cajoled into emigra-
tion by Northern agents, and impressed into the
Federal army, almost immediately on landing at
an American port ? Has it not been proved that
the Irishmen who were induced by an American
consul to go on hoard the Kearsage, were regularly
examined by the surgeon of the ship, and enlisted
as sailors, and when brought back to Queenstown,
at the urgent instance of Mr. Adams, were delivered
up to the authorities in the Federal uniform, with
which the too-confiding captain had suffered them
to be clothed ? The case of the Gibraltar, at Liver-
pool, is another flagrant iestance in point. It has
been stated that an official of the Government, the
collector of Customs at the pornrefused to allow two
heavy guns to be shipped, for fear lest they should
fall into the hands of the Confederates ; that at the
same time he volunteered the admission that if they
had been intended for the Federals it would have
been another thing altogether, as shipments of guns
to Northern ports were matters of constant occur-
rence. This statement has never been denied.
It seems that from the Premier and the Foreign
Secretary down to the very lowest subordinate of
the Administration, all are leagued in a disgraceful
conspiracy to strain the laws as much as possible
in favour of the North, and to deny to the South
that simple justice which it demands. The circum-
stance attending the dismissal of the British cone
saris in Southern cities were brought forward last
night by Lord Clanricarde in the House of Lords.
The policy of habitually ignoring the authority of
the Confederate Government on its own territory
was never pushed more outrageously than when the
representatives of the British Government, and the
guardians of British interests at Charleston, Mobile,
and Richmond, as well as at New Orleans, were re-
garded as subject to the exequatur of the Northern
Government, which had lost all authority at these
places. If precedent had been wanted the example
of Mr. Canning would have been sufficient, who ac-
credited consuls to the South American revolutionary
governments long before their independence had
been formally recognised. In choosing to pursue an
exactly contrary plan Lord Russell made the posi-
tion of these British consuls so difficult that it was
almost insufferable. While pretending to protect
Englishmen in the ports where they resided, they
were forbidden to enter into relations of any sort
with the Confederate Government of the place.
Thus Mr. Bunch, the consul at Charleston, at-
tempted to forward dispatches to his Government
by way of New York, where his messenger was
seized and thrown into prison. Mr. Seward apolo-
gised for the outrage, but withdrew his exequatur
from the consul, whose functions thereupon ceased
by desire of the British Foreign Minister. It is dif-
ficult to see how the exequatur of the Northern
Government should have been in any way necessary
to him in his altered position. Consul Moore, at
Richmond, was very properly dismissed by the
Government of Mr. Davis, for having been guilty
of disrespect to the Confederate authorities, and
advised British subjects who had been enlisted to
desert when in face of the enemy. But the treat-
ment of Mr. Magee at Mobile is perhaps the most
glaring act of injustice of which Lord Russell has
been guilty in his dealings with the South. He
was called upon in 1862 to facilitate the shipment
of some money due from the state of Alabama to
its creditors in England. He wrote to his col-
league at New Orleans suggesting that an Eng-
lish ship of war should call at the port of Mobile
and take charge of the specie. Mr. Mure ape
proved of the plan, and the Vesuvius pat in at
Mobile for the purpose. The consent of Commodore
Hitchcock, of the blockading squadron, was mean-
while obtained for the shipment. It seems that
the day after the shipment, and when the Vesu-
vius had sailed, a letter was received from Lord
Lyons forbidding itias an infraction of the block-
ade. When the transaction came to hia know-
ledge, Lord Lyons, supposing that his orders had
been disobeyed, wrote in complaint to Lord Rue.
sell, who at once summarily dismissed Mr. Magee.
Lord Lyons acted through a fatal misunderstand-
ing, and both he and Lord Russell owe the fullest
reparation to an able and honest public servant, to
whom they have done a great injustice and injury.
The British Minister at Washington was guilty of
the further absurdity of sending to Mobile, as act-
ing consul, a gentleman accredited by the Northern
Government. Mr. Davis consulted his own dignity
in at once declining to recognise any such nomina-
tion within the limits of his government. Since
then we have had no British consul at Mobile.
There is no one to protect British citizens within
the boundaries of the Southern States, no represen-
tative of England who can enter into relations of
any sort with the Confederate Government. The
imbecile obstinacy of the Ministry has utterly cut
us off from all communication, direct or indirect,
with six millions or brave and enterprising men
who are most anxious to extend to Englishmen the
right hand of fellowship, and whose manful defence
of their liberties and vindication of their rights of
British ancestry and kindred have rendered them
most worthy of a consideration which has been
scornfully denied them. The day is not far distant
when rulers and people will have cause to lament
this error, and seek in vain to atone for it by a late
repentance.

case now before the Chief Baron at the Kildare
Assizes :—Patrick Cosgrave, a relieving officer, was indicted
for the manslaughter of Rosanna Doyle. It appeared from
the evidence that there are a number of unfortunate omen
(to which class the deceased belonged), who live iwn
the
bushes and behind the ditches in the neighbourhood of the
Currah Camp; that they live there day and night, unless
in case of sickness, when they go to the poor-house until

they are well, and then retul n to their old quarters among
the bushes, and their old mode of life. The Acts for Relief
of the Destitute Poor in Ireland afford the means of sup-
plying relief out of the house in all cases of sickness which
prevent removal and in cases of urgent necessity, and re-
lieving officers are appointed in every district with a fixed
salary, whose duty it is to inquire after such cases, and
afford immediate relief. Rosanna Doyle was sick at this
place, near the camp, on Saturday, the 17th October last,
and was unable to go to the workhouse. A policeman
learned this, and left a note with the prisoner informing
him of her state. Re did not go to see her, but on Sunday
morning went to one Bergan, who kept a donkey and cart
for the removal to the workhouse of sick people, and gave
a ticket of admission for Rosanna Doyle, telling him to
bring the donkey for her. Bergen did not go till
Monday, when he found her in a very sad state,

lying on the bare ground by some furze, and without any
covering except an old sack. It took nearly two hours to
get to the workhouse, and rain poured on the poor creature
the whole way. As soon as the hospital nurse saw her she
feared that she was either in a fit or dying, and had the
doctor sent for immediately. Not more than ten minutes
elapsed from the time she arrived at the workhouse until
she died.
