This table includes the traffic of 33 miles of the Oil
Creek Railway, which was constructed by and has
hitherto been worked by the Atlantic and Great Western
ltailway Company, but does not form part of the consoli-
dation.
The actual result, therefore, is a gross receipt at the
rate of upwards of £1,000,000 a year at the present ex-
cnange, with 100 miles still to open, and a large increase
t'r traffic only waiting for a further supply of rolling
stock.

This large traffic is owing to two causes :-
1. The Atlantic and Great Western line forms the
entral link of the greatest line of through traffic in the
World, viz., that between the Western States of America
and the Atlantic. From its shorter distance, and advan-
tage of forming part of an unbroken line of 1,200 miles on
a uniform six-feet gauge, it must always be the best line
of communication by which the enormous goods and pas-
senger traffic centring in the Western cities of Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Chicago, and St. Louis, can arrive at New
'York and the sea-board.

2. Ti' localV traffic is equally enormous, owing to its
traversing. the newly-discovered oil districts of Penney!.
;Paula, and the great coal-fields of Northern Ohio. Some
idea of the, local traffic thus waiting for development may
be formed from the single-fact that this oil district now
Yields at the rate of 3,000,000 barrels per annum, for the
conveyance of which as much as 3d. to 4d. por ton por
fide is willingly paid.
A. Consolidation of the several Divisions of the Atlantic
and Great Western Railway under one executive has been
and a mortgage for 30 million dollars, or 6 millions
sterling of bonds has been created, and also a capital of 30
million dollars of shares of 50 dollars each, based on the
Whole property of the Company. The new shares will
supersede those previously issued, with the exception of
t1:919,000 dollars of Preference Shares pledged as part of
security for the Certificates of Debenture issued in
November, 1864, which will, therefore, remain Preferential
until those Certificates are paid off, when the whole be-
come ordinary share capital. Provision is made in the
~%11- orlgage deed (under wich the Consolidated Mortgage
.ii,3sOnds are issued) for securing the. rights of the existing
"'"'-°rlgage Bonds, and also for their exchange at maturity,
9r earlier, by consent of the holder, if authorised by the
zoard of Control ; this being completed, the present Con-
solidated Mortgage will become the first mortgage over the
whole
railway, with its branches, extensions, and equip-
inents.
The Consolidated Capital will therefore consist of
860,000,000, half in Shares and half in Mortgage Bonds,
which provides for the completion of the entire line.
To meet the interest on these Bonds at 7 per cent. in
sterling, after paying all working expenses, it is calculated
by Mr. Forbes that a gross annual receipt of $6,442,000
would be sufficient, which is considerably less than the
annual receipt, and $3,573,000 less than Mr. Forbes's esti-
rtlate of the annual receipt when the additional 100 miles
are opened, so that the security for the Bonds is ample,
and there is every prospect that, in addition, a high rate
°f dividend will be paid on the $30,000,000 of Share
~,,''The Consolidated Bonds have 25 years to run, with
'lll)ens for interest at 7 per cent. per annum, payable
Quarterly, free of income tax, at the Company's Offices, in
.ol• idon or New York, in gold. Interest is on 15th
uanuary 15th April, 15th July, and 15th October of each
Year.
It is proposed to appropriate the total authorised issue
• 030,000,000, or £6,000,000 sterling Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds, as follows :
tn 1- A reserve of $16,142,000 will be placed with trustees

of the most recent cases :

This Institution is designed to supply a
,great national
want. viz., an asylum for the orphaq daughters of sailors hi
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CoNTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss c,f life at sea, and: o enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.

tary, at the Offices, tiro. 77, Cornhill.
