AMERICAN And BRITISH TIMBER and
• • COTTON LAND COMPANY. •
. -•

Capital 400,0001., distributed as follows, viz. :-
70,000 Preferential Shares of 21. each, 140,0001., bearing a preferen-
tial interest of S per cent.
13,000 Ordinary Shares of 201. each, 260.0001., already issued in the
' Uncted States. '
This Company has been established for the purpose•of purchasing
a large trant.of valuable forest land in the State of Georgia, consist-
ing of 1,042,000 acres, and covered with a luxuriant growth of yellow
or pitch pine timber of very superior quality and size.
The tract comprises upwards of 16,050 square miles ; it is inter-
sected by rivers navigable for vessels of a large'class, and is in close
proximity to the ports of Darien, Jefferson, Burnt Fort, and Bruns-
wick, on the Atlantic Ocean, affording ready means of shipment, as
well as a very considerable local market.

The timber has an establishid aaTaCter in the markets of the
United Mates, and commands a higher price than the produce of
the northern forests. It is extensively used for ship-budding. rail-
ways, and other purposes, and is of great durability and excellence.
Its value is being continually enhanced by the rapid exhaustion of
the pine forests of the northern states.
A railway is in course of construction through the property.

The soil is of great fertility, is unusually free from swamps,
and therefore more than commonly salubrious. The land when
cleared is susceptible of cultivation for cotton, Indian corn, and
other products.
The timber on the estate is of very great value. It is pro-
posed, by the erection 'of saw-mills, to convert it for the Ame-
rican and British markets; and returns, based upon very mode-
rate calculations, show very great profits to the proprietors ;'and
the land when cleared will also realise a very large return upon
the capital.
The title is derived from the Government of Georgia, and is
vested in the names of three highly-respectable gentlemtn as
trustees for the shareholders.

Of the proposed capital of the. Company 260,0001. is taken by the
vendors in shares postponed in respect of dividend to the preferen—
tial shires now proposed to be issued, and of which 30,000 shares
are already engaged. In effect, therefore, the holders of the shares
now to be issued, and amounting to the small sum of 140,0001., will
exclusively receivo all the profits of this vast property until they
have cleared 8 per cent., with the prospect of further dividends
afterwards.

The Company will be managed in the United States by a highly
respectable Board of Direction, and in England by a Board of
Agency, by whom the stock created in America will be delivered,
and thus no liability can accrue beyond the amount subscribed.
PrOspectuses and plans of the district may be had at the Com-
pany's temporary offices, No. 4, Princes-street, Bank ; and at the
broker.;',oftiterompany, afessrs..il, and W. Hitchens and llarnsort,

SALT and Co's. E&ST • INDIA PALE ALES.
As a general rule, SALT and Co. have been content to let
their Ales speak for themselves ; but the agitation which has been
going on for the,last few weeks in the shape of what may be called,
the STKYCHNINE 'CONTROVERSY, has placed them in a position
which seems now to call for a few remarks.
It was perhaps not to be wondered at • that the public should be a
little started on the, first intimation that they were drinking poison
every day without knowing it; but that a report so vague, so ground-
less, and so manifestly absurd, as that on which the charge of using
STRYCHNINE in the manufacture of PALE ALES was founded,
should :have more than a merelytemporary effect,apPeared to them per-
leafy incredible. At any rate, a simple denial of the imputation was, in
their opinion, all that the occasion required. Such denial they gave,
together with the other Brewers of Burton, by publishing a declara-
tion to the effect, that nothing besides MALT, HOPS, and WATER,
had ever been used in the composition of their Ales; and they have
all along considered it beneath the proper dignity of a respectable
house to do more than this. They have been compelled, however,
in self-defence, to go somewhat beyond their own conviction on
this point, by the extraordinary manner in which some others in the
trade have so pressed their own particular Ales upon the notice of
the public, as to convey the idea that no others are genuine. It is,
therefore, alike due to themselves and their friends, to make the fact I
known, that whenever a fair opportunity has offered of submitting
their Ales to • the test of analysis, they have sought to
avail themselves of it; though. in one instance alone
has this privilege been afforded them, namely, in the
case of Mr. PEPPER, Professor of Chemistry 'at the
Royal Polytechnic Instlution, whose Certificate they sat join ;
indeed, such has been the spirit in which some of these analyses
have been conducted, as to make it evident that the object was
rather to serve private interests than to satisfy the public mind.

The greatly inereasipg _population, the commerce, the pastoral,
and agricultural riches of the colonies of New South Wales and Vic-
toria, the great Suacess of the b'inks already established in Sydney,
Melbourne, and Geelong, together with, the extraordinary yield of
the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the• establishment o f
a New Australian Bank, with branches in such towns as may appear
expedient. .

It has therefore been proposed to form a new banking association,
to be entitled the Royal Australian Banking and Gold Importing
Company, to be incorporated under a Royal Charter.
The capital to be 250,0001.,- in -50,0 C 0 shares of 51. each,
on which a deposit of I/. each shall be'paid, and no fluffier call to be
made until the Royal Charter shall . have been obtained, and not
then„ except by a resolution agreed to by a
_majority at a general
meeting of Shareholders, to be called together for that purpose, by
three regular advertisements in the'" Times," and- three other Lon-
don daily neWspapers.
The proposed Company intend to establish an offiCe • in London
for the purpose of regulating and directing the general affairs of
the Company, and to open a Bank at Sydney, with branches at
Melbourne, and:if expedient, at Geelong, and other populous towns.
The bank and the branches to carry •on the ordinary business of
banking by discounting bills, issuing notes under theprovisions granted
by Charter,. advancing money on undoubted security, and also
on consignment of gold ore and refilled gold to the Company in
London; and purchasing gold in the colonies of New South Wales
and Victoria, together ,with the transaction of such other busineSs
as may be Wady and legitimately conducted ,by a Bank. To avoid
losses by filud or neglect of duty, the minag,erg, and.all persons ap-
pointed bythe Batik, will have to give competent security in England
for their fidelity and good conduct in those colonies.
A great part of the above capital being already subscribed,--the-
Royal Charter has been applied.for,, and is -ander consideration of
the Board of Trade, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed
when the 'remaining shares are subscribed, and the deposit of 1/.
pershare paid to the bankers.

o General Godwin, with a strong el Assent of
troops and some steamers, was about to ve Rangoon
fore few days for the purpose of reducing Bassein, a
town which gives itename
et
to the westernmost branch
of the Irrawaddy Data; to theo east of Rangoon, the
peguese'had risen on the Burmese levies and driven
them out of the country, and they were said to have ap-
plied to us for aid to prevent their return. The most
contradictory rumours were.afloat regarding the Burmese
poltey. _ ;By one account the King of Ava is dead, and
lap is anarchy at his capital. By another, he is alive,
but has been kept by- the Governor of Rangoon in
total ignorance of all that has occurred; and a third
report is to the effect that he has written
a warlike
letter to General Godwin, and has dispatched his
brother-in-law from Ava with 20,009 troops to drive the
English into the sea. All that regards the future is at
present the merest surmise, but in, the • best informed
quarters the chances are considered, in favour of a set-
tlement being effected without the necessity of any fur-
ther military operations. Should these, however, be un-
avoidable, two -European regiments, her Majesty's 86th
and the 2d Bombay Europeans, with a troop of Horse
Artillery, will probably be sent from Bombay, and three
or four Native Infantry regiments,, either from that pre-
sidency or from Calcutta, a sufficient number of the
Bengal regiments having recently volunteered for service
in Burmah.

" Sir Colin Campbell is carrying on a.fittle campaign
in the valley of the Swat river (the principal northern
afflaent ot,that of Caboul), with about 4;000 troops and
ten guns. The force has had some severe hand-to-hand
fighting, in ,which both officers and men have behaved
with distinguished gallantry.. On the 13th the hill fort
of Prarghur, on the threshold of the valley, was
stormtd. -On the 17th the enemy came down in force
into the Ranerzad valley to -attack us. On the 13th Sir
C. Campbell moved forward and attacked them. They
stood their 6rorind well for some lime, but at length
gave way and fled, leaving 130 deadbodies on the field.
Sir C. Campbell intended to march into. Swat on the
23i1 of 'May.. "His force. was not expected to return to
camp for some time. -
" The news from Cabul is important. Herat has for
some time been in dispute between' the sqn of Yet Ma-
homed, backed by the Persians, and the: Kandaharee
Sirdars, busked
,by Dost 'Mahomed. 10,000 Persian
troops were on their 'way_ to [Waist, Yar Mahomed's
son, and lost Mohamed had ;dispatched his own
son, Glaolain Hydkr, with a large body of troops,
to the assistance of the Kandaharea faction. The
factions, ' however, •joined battle without wait-
ing for the arrival of their respective allies. The
Herattee army, under. Yar Mahomed's son, numbered
12,000 or 13,000, the • Kandaharee force rather less.
After eight hours' fighting,' the latter were defeated,
with a loss of 2,000 men; and obliged to retreat to Kan-
dahar. On learning the result, both the Persian and
Affgban ffiree halted - for further' orders. It may be
hoped, therefore, that a collision between them will be
avoided.

" No improvement has taken place in the state of the
Niz-im's territory.
" The public were startled the ,other day by the in-
formation that the King of Oude Was preparing for war
with the
_British Goveipment. It since dppears that this
demonstration (irhich- actually oceurred.),4o.e:ntirely to
be attributed to the King's insanity, and that his Ma-
jesty has now forgotton 'the hallncination4
"Calcutta, With the south and east of Bengal, was
visited on the 14t and-15th of May by -it violent hurri-
cane, which has done immense damage to property. In
Calcutta alone, according to the chief magistrate's re-
turns; 2,657: thatched cottages, 526 tiled ones, and 40
large and strong 'houses, were destroyed by it. Eight
inches of rain fell in a few hours at Dumdum. The
monumental pillar to the memory of the 'artillery who
fell at Cabul was thrown down.

"The appointment Of Mr. 'J. Warden to act as a
member of Council at Bombay until the arrival of the
new Coinmander-in-Chiet has 'been disallowed by the
Court of Directors. Mr. Warden has resumed his ap-
pointment as judge of the Sudder Adawlut; Mr. Spas
once more becomes chief magistrate; and Mr. Snart has
returned to his former office in Candeish. The. Governor
end the Commander of the Forces return to Poonsb,
from the hills, on the Bth inst. General Bich, com-
manding the Benaros division, Bengal army, died at
Nainee Tel on the 25th ult. Colonel Mignon, of the
lst Bombay Europeans, was drowned in crossing
nullah near Poonah during a thunderstorm on the 3d of
June. The monsoon sot in at Bombay also on the 3d of
June, and the trade of the port.may now be considered
closed for the season. During the fortnight a moderate
amount of business has been-done. Tonnage continues
abundant, and freights moderately high. The money-
market is more easy than it has for some time been
known."
