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 Geraes, Brazil. It is estimated
as containing about 21 square miles, in the vicinity o. the
celebrated mine of the St. John Pel Hey 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 is chi fly clay and talcose slate, of that character
which is highly co ngeniat 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 from the mysterious effect of the junction of these great
rocks.
" The estate contains three distinct auriferous formations,
which may be traoed tor miles, e
hbsides a rich jacotinga
unexplored. Diamonds are said to ave been found at one
spot.
• The first rock formation is of white quartz and iron, and
from half to five ounces of gold per ton ; the
has yielded
second is of yellow quartz and auriferous arsenical pyrites,
and has afforded 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 probabl graduate into a
pyritio-rock formation similar to that of the St. John Del
hey Company's mine at Morro Velho. 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 remtmerative
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 Ll 5 paid, is now worth £52."
Full reliance is to be placed upon Capt. Treloar's report,
from the fact that he has ha I 16 years' experience in Brazil.
in the service of he St. John Del Rey Company, and is chief
engineer to the Don Pedi o North Del Rey Gold Mining Com-
pany. which, under his management, has paid a dividend at
the rate of 10 percent. 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 Rasa Grande, classing it with
Morro Velho (Sr. 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 solidtors, or at the offices of the Company.

IMILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

WEST CORK.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at their offices, Gracechuroh-street, Sir C. P. Roney
in the chair.
Mr. 11. W.VooD, tho secretary, read the report, which
stated that great progress had been made with the constrac-
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 communioation.
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 bad 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 thedebentures. Under the powers
of the company's special act a baronial land guarantee of 4}
per cent. interest per annum for a period of 20 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 were 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 CILAIIIMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he had no doubt from the great progress already made
by the 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 attenlicn of the board.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, re-electing
Sir C. P. Roney and Mr. J. Holland, the retiring director',
and also Mr. J. Burton, the retiring auditor.
Mr. KIM:, one of the contractors, stated that his firm
would do everything in their power in carrying onthe the
works to deserve the confidence placed in them by
rectors,
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
di-
chairman.

SEVENOAKS, MAIDSTONE, AND TUNBRIDGE.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was hold 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 traffio 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 int erect,
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 arrangement with the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company, which had already received
the sanction of the shareholders.
The CILCILMLN moved the adoption of the report.
Lord SONDES wended the motion.
Mr. HOLROTD, in answer to a question, said the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company worked the line at 60 per
cent. of the receipts; and if the 60 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 thank' to the chair-
man closed the proceedings.

Metropolitan Railway " remprovementa."
Mr, B3z.tlgette's rep-A, en au via
metropolitan
railway SCll2O3Vii .
hros just been ig before Parliament this car
presented to the Board of works.
As
engines : to the Board, Mr. Bazalgette has to
state f'aly wherever these proposed works, whether
al.dove or underground, interfere with streets, divert
their routes, alter their leveld, or trench upon the
special works of the Board in sewers or subways.
The :report says truly that the schemes proposed
for the metropolis this Session are more numerous,
bolder, and more complicated than on any previous
occasion. They involve the construction of 258
new lines of railway and branches of 417! mike in
length ; with 11 bridges over the Thames, and two,
lines passing through the Thames Tunnel ; and the
total capital proposed to bo raised is about
£70,000,000. Ifyde Park, the Green Park, St.
James's Park, Kensington Gardens, Newington
Park, hackney-downs, Layton-grange Park,
Trinity-squaw, Finsbury-circus, Camden-square,
Oakley-square, Ampthill-square, Euston-square,
and Sloane-square, would all be cut through,and
some of them in two or three places, and the same
would be the fate of the following open commons:
Stoke Newington, Clapham, Tooting (invaded by
seven different lines), Acton Back, Acton, Wimble-
don, Fulham, Deptford, and Turnham-green.
13ishopsgate-street would be crossed by railways
nine times; Whitechapel-road, 13 times ; lii ~g
William-street, city, four times ; Strand., four
times; Belgrave-road, four times; Uxbridge-
road, Notting-kW., five times; Kensington-road,
three time;; Edgware-road, Kilburn, four
firma .; Euston road and Marylebone-road,
'.'uirteen times; Deptford Lower-road, three
limos; Acre-lane, Brixton, live times. St.
Stephen's-churchyard, and St. I'ancraa burial-
ground would also be invaded, the latter by no less
than three different lines of railway. There aro no
less than six competitors for constructing railways
along the lino of the Thames Embankment, and
underneath a portion of the new street to the Man-
sion-house; and in executing all these " improve-
ments" it is proposed to divert the present course of
no less than 37 streets, to lower the level of 18, to
raise the level of 34, and to stop up 69 ; altogether
52 sewers are returned as partially destroyed by
these works, and no less than 526 as entirely de-
stroyed: The report is the most complete in its
analysis of the mischief and destruction of property
which would bo caused by some of these lines that
has yet been laid before the public.

Danish Account of the Battle at Oversee.

COPENUAGFN, Feb. 24.

Tho official .71crlingske 7ldende contains the fol-
lowing short but interesting report of the engage-
ment at Oversee on the Gth inst.

" We have been requested to publish the follow-
ing details of the rearguard defence—not outpost
fight—at Oversee, on the Gth, to obviate incorrect
representations. It is necessary to observe that it
is the duty of every vanguard to arrest the progress
of the enemy, oven should the last man be sacrificed,
until tho retreat of the main body is perfectly
secured.

" The rearguard of our troops consisted of the 7th
infantry brigade, with two guns. The losses at
Orerselk, had reduced the strength of the brigade to
about 2,750 men commanded by Col. Muller. The
force of the enemy under General von Gablcnz was
composed of the Nostez brigade, consisting of two
regiments of infantry, the Jager battalion, and the
regiment of Lichtenstein Ilussars—in all 4,000 men
—with two howitzer batteries. Our loss in killed,
wounded, and missing was 800 mon and 15 officers.
'That of the enemy is authentically reported at 710
men and 28 officers.

"It will bo evident from the losses upon either
side that this engagement was one of the most stub-
born and sanguinary in the history of modern war•
fare. At Waterloo every fifth man was put hors de
combat, at Eylau every fourth man ; and while the
contest continued in these battles the greater part
of the day, the action at Oversee lasted only three
hours. During this time the enemy succeeded in
pressing the vanguard back about 2,000 paces, for
at the end of the action our forces were still stationed
to the north of the Bilksknow Krug, and upwards
of three-quarters of a mile to the south of Flens-
burg."
