No. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, London.
This Company is formed for the purpose of executing
Public Works in Naples, and will commence operations by
constructing a Boulevard, upwards of a mile in length and
80 feet wide, connecting the centre of the city, the Royal
Palace, and the Government buildings with the Chiaja, and
Corso Victor Emanuel, the chief carriage drive of the
Neapolitan people. The entire project is shown on the
accompanying plan, where the portion coloured red indi-
cates the first section of the works, and that coloured blue
(for which plans are now being prepared, and arrange-
ments are in progress with the Municipality) is marked out
to be subsequently proceeded with.
Naples, the third city in Europe, contains about 600,000
inhabitants, and is rapidly increasing in population and
commercial development. It is the port and centre of a
population numbering nearly 2,000,000 souls, dwelling
within a radius of twenty miles, and is much frequented
by foreigners from all parts of the world, both for tempo-
rary and permanent residence.
A tender for this work was made to the Municipality of
Naples, in accordance with a decree of expropriation, and
having been accepted by them, and approved in due form
by the prefect, on behalf of the Government of Italy, the
requisite compulsory powers are thus secured for the pur-
chase and expropriation of the necessary land in fee-simple
for the intended object, without delay of other legal forma-
lities. The Municipality of Naples upon accepting this
tender required the usual deposit of caution money, which
'the concessionaire has accordingly paid.
The Municipality contributes a subsidy of 1,800,000 f.,
progressively as the works proceed,
Contractors have undertaken to purchase all the land
necessary and to complete the construction of the new
thoroughfare in the style of the edifices lately erected on
the new Boulevards of Paris, including the formation of the
road, paving, and works of drainage, &c. The new houses
are to be 20 metres high (65 feet), and the total cost for
houses, land, &c., amounts to 620 f. (£24165.) per square
metre of the area built upon.
The contractors relying upon the success of the under-
taking have accepted these terms, and they look for their
remuneration out of a portion of the surplus profits after
repayment of capital, interests, and all other expenses.
This remuneration has been fixed at one-fourth of the
realised profits ; the remaining three-fourths being divisible
among the Shareholders.
From a report published by the Muncipality of Naples in
1862 on the value of house property there, and from the
increase of value since that date, which is estimated by
experienced residents at upwards of 30 per cent., the reve-
nue from rentals would be calculated to yield at least 10
per cent. per annum on the cost of construction.
The value of house property in Naples is reported to
vary, according to locality, between twenty to twenty-five
years' purchase, houses in the Via Toledo being valued at
twenty-five years', those in the Chiaja district, and in the
vicinity of the new street, at twenty years' purchase. When
the proposed Boulevard is opened into the Toledo it is be-
lieved that these houses will command an equal if not a
higher price than those in the Toledo. Taking the value,
however, at an average of only twenty years' purchase,
each square metre yielding a minimum rental of sixty-five
francs, or over 10 per cent. on a cost of 620 francs (£24165.),
would attain a selling value of 1,300 francs (X 52).
There is alarge and increasing demand for house accom-
modation in Naples, and house property. being the favourite
investment of the Neapolitan people, immediately. houses
are completed they find ready purchasers. Indeed, in many
cases, contracts. for sale can be made in anticipation of
their completion.
After a most careful examination of the present project
and of all attendant circumstances, it is calculated that a
share capital of £600,000, together with the returns from
sales, taking place during the progress of the works, will
be sufficient to work out the entire concession. And the
calculation, founded upon the above stated rates, exhibits
as a result—within the term of eight years to be occupied
in completing this enterprise—returns, from the disposal
of successive portions of the estate, which promise to fur-
nish at least £5OO in the aggregate of bonuses upon every
subscription of £loo—exclusively of the entire repayment
of the capital, or, in other words, a capital profit of 500
pet cent. ; with intervening interest at the rates of 5 per
cent., 6 per cent., and 10 per cent. as described.
The Report of Mr. Burges, the Architect, of London,
who was especially. deputed to make investigations on the
spot, is referred to in corroboration of the foregoing state-
ments.
A provisional contract has been entered into for the
transfer of this Concession to the Company for the sum of
£50,000 as the consideration for such transfer.
The Company, under their Articles, adopt and confirm
the agreements and contracts, and the Directors are en-
joined to carry out the same, to repay the caution-moneys,
discharge the considerations as agreed, and to pay the
various expenses and commissions incurred to constitute
the Company. The Company indemnify the first contractors
in the usual manner, and the Financial Agency Commis-
sion is fixed not to exceed two per cent., to cover and in-
clude commissions for acceptance upon bank credits
required.
Power is reserved in the Memorandum and Articles of
Association, which can be seen at the Temporary Offices
of the Company, for the Board to enter into engagements
for other public works deemed promising by the Directors ;
as also to purchase or lease premises for improvements or
use, and to create and issue redeemable Debenture Bonds
and Deposit Notes, in proportion to the progress of the
works, and to the extent of one-half of the value of works
completed from time to time.
The right is hereby reserved to allottees of Scrip Certi-
ficates to pay up the full nominal value thereof so that they
be convertible into fully paid shares.
Deposits upon which no allotments are made will be re-
turned in full.
Prospectuses and all information can be obtained from
Messrs. Clench, Smith, and Co., 1, Royal Exchange-build-
ings and copies of the Articles of Association may also be
obtained from the Brokers and Solicitors.

820 miles of it, and the traffic was now increasing
in a most satisfactory manner. They could do a
much larger business if they had sufficient engines
and rolling stock. Instead of the receipts being
limited to about £30,000 a week, they could now
get traffic of £40,000 a week if they had the means
to carry it. The gross receipts on all their lines
amounted for the half-year to £614,876, the ordi-
nary working expenses to £397,025, and the net
balance to £217,851. They had taken from that
£51,535 for renewals of permanent way, and
£26,712 for reduction of the renewal suspense ac-
count, leaving a balance of £139,603. The average
receipt per passenger 'in the past half-year was
6s. 3d. per head, as against ss. 10d. per head in
1864, the increase of receipts being for passengers
£14,700, or 7.65 per cent., the figures being
£207,371 against £192,642. The total receipts for
freight had been £403,245 against £386,028 ending
June, 1864, showing au increase of £17,217, or 4.46
per cent. The average receipt per ton carried was
16s. 10d. against 14s. 9d. per ton iu the correspond-
ing half of 1864. The only disagreeable feature
was in the working expenses ; they amounted to
£397,025 against £360,532, showing an increase of
£36,493, or 1012 per cent. Of this increase £26,800
was on the Atlantic and Portland section, £3,400
on the Detroit line, £2,330 on the Champlain ;
£3,851 on branch, and £9,232 on the Grand
Trunk proper. The latter sum was composed
shiefly, of claims "Nrearapdlostion and-fires. With-
regard to the Atlantic section, they had to pay the
same amount of American currency for wages and
work that they did when the exchange was 282,
while it was now down to 147 ; that was practically
an addition to the wages and a higher expense to
the company. The company in 1864, by the pur-
chase of Atlantic and Portland bonds, had made
30,0001., and if they had the means to purchase
more of them they might have made 60,0001. At
that period they lost nothing by American currency,
but in the past half year they had lost 35,0001. by
it. He had looked most carefully into the exchange
account, and did not think that the officers had
missed a chance in the turns of the market in favour
of the company. He explained that those losses
were chiefly exceptional, arising from the war to
some extent on the border. The loss of 7,6001. on
the Buffalo was not a decided loss, because it might
be recovered in the current half year, as the ac-
counts with that company were made up at the end
of each year. The traffic which passed over some
of those leased lines for 140 miles also passed over
the Grand Trunk 750 or 760 miles, so they had some-
thing to set against those losses or apparent losses.
The stores, which amounted to 300,0001., were for
1,305 miles of railway ; they consisted of fuel, rails,
timber, and fishplates, &c., but those stores would
be reduced at the end of the year to 200,0001. They
had raised 192,000. in Canadian institutions for
the company, which showed they had confidence in
the management of the railway, and he hoped that
things would go on so well that the company might
soon get out of debt and have their securities avail-
able. They had had large offers of a supply of rolling
stock from a company in Scotland, and also from
another firm for cars and engines, to pay so much a
year for them until the debt wasliquidated. But he
considered thatthe best and cheapest way was to pur-
chase theirown stock from good makers and pay for
it at once. He was glad to tell them that the receipts
on their line from July Ist to Oct. 28th amounted
to £471,877 against £408,740 for the corresponding
period of last year, showing an increase of 154 pßr
cent., and that the net profits realised on that work-
ing amounted to £144,182, against £87,741 in the
corresponding period last year. It was proposed to
complete a line of railway from Halifax to Chicago.
There was every probabiay of the international
railway being carried out, as it was now believed
that the confederation of theßritish Provinces would
-be accomplished ; anci itoaras thcl -.doz! -only a nifrttu,-t.
of time to make the line from the Grand Trunk Rail-
way to Halifax, which would open up the coal and
mineral districts of New Brunswick en route to Hali-
fax. At the other end of the line it was proposed to I
lay an intermediate line on the railway between Sar- I
nia and Buffalo, so as to suite the American gauge,
and thus by means of the Port Huron line to com-
plete the communication with Chicago. They had
an offer from persons who would expend £1,000,000
on that line, provided that others on the part of the
Grand Trunk Company should find £1,000,000 for
rails, &c., and for which those persons would give a
mortgage on their property in the new railway.
They would recommend the shareholders to give all
the assistance they could to that undertaking, and if
they were to imagine a Grand Trunk line 2,000 miles
in length, with Halifax at one end and Chicago at
the other, he would have very little doubt that their
progress in the next four years would exceed that
of the past four years. There were about 8,000 miles
of railway converging on Chicago, and it was so
well situated that there was nothing to alter its pros-
perous position. Those great cities in the West were
increasing immensely, and he believed the West was
now in a sounder condition than ever it was. They
had made an agreement with the Erie and Niagara
Railway Company, and also one for the construction
of the great international bridge between Fort Erie
and Buffalo, which would enable them to work the
line toNiagara. As regarded the arrangement for the
bridge, it included seven miles of railway, and they
were asked to pay £lO,OOO a year for their share of
the expense, by which they would be enabled to ex-
change their traffic with the New York and Erie
Railway. The company at present paid £6,000 a
year for carrying the traffic across on a steam plat-
form, and the question was whether the difference
between £6,000 and £lO,OOO would not be readily
made up by the facilities an unbroken line would
afford over the international bridge. Buffalo had a
very large grain trade, a great number of ships, and
48,000 men were employed in that trade. As the
documents were not ready with regard to the bridge,
that agreement would not be submitted at present.
He then advocated the policy of using the available
means of the company for a short time longer in
providing additional rolling-stock, sidings, ware-
houses, and the necessary machinery for the de-
velopment and accommodation of the increasing
traffic. This policy had already been adopted to a
great extent, and when they had power to carry the
whole of the traffic that came to them, and were out
of debt, the profits would be henceforward available
to pay the preference interest as far it would go.
With regard to the Reciprocity Treaty he had been
asked to say something. There was a total of
£4,000,000 in produce sent to the United States from
Canada, and the latter received from the United
States a like amount, so that the advantages were
mutual, and neither side ought to disturb it. But
should the treaty not be renewed, and the trade be
diverted from theUnitedStates to England, it would
have a beneficial effect on the Grand Trunk Rail-
way, and would not injure Canada to the extent
some politicians supposed. It was desirable that a
friendly intercourse should exist between Canada
and the United States, and for that reason he hoped
the Reciprocity Treaty would be renewed.
Sir R. JARVIS thought it would be much better to
charge to capital what belonged to capital than
ofto
take the whole of the charge for renewals out
revenue, He did not like to see the net revenue
expended on permanent works which were to benefit
the next generation at the cost of the present.
Mr. CREAK said they were told a few years ago
that £70,000 a year would be sufficient for re-
newals ; but they had spent more than double that
sum in the last year for that purpose. He hoped
they would clear off the renewal fund in the current
half-year, and endeavour to have some balance to
pay the bondholders in future half-years.
Mr. MERCER was disposed to support the directors
to the fullest extent ; but he represented some first
and second class bondholders on that occasion, who
were very much dissatisfied with the disposal of the
net revenue. They were paid their interest in bonds
at par, which would not realise more than 67, He

thought the renewals ough :ttil3,q,, „Trer tar

seven years, instead of be ig

Mr. llAnTranar believed th anal-lent
Act enabled thedirectors to appropriate the earnings
of the line to capital purposes ; at the same time he
thought some compensation should be given to those
who had to take bonds instead of money for.Askit
interest.

Mr. LAKE thought they ought to get out of debt
as soon as possible, and there would then be some-
thing for the bondholders. When the international
bridge was completed he thought the bondholders
would find they had a very good investment.
Mr. ADAMS considered that the increase of traffic

was enormous, and that if they would only expend
what was actually necessary to carry on the traffic

finished, and was hi as good condition as the Great
Western of Canada. The re-sleepered portion of
the Grand Trunk was fully equal to the average of
American lines. Their policy should be to put the
line in the most efficient state and keep it up fully
to that standard. He had spoken to nearly all the
heads of departments on the Grand Trunk line, and
they were of opinion that the rolling stock was in-
sufficient, as they were only able to carry 60 per
Cent. of the traffic. It was impossible for the com-
pany to stand still under such circumstances.
They should provide an ample supply of the
best rolling stock, proper sidings and stations, and
everything requisite for the traffic, as the Atlantic

pared to enter into au agreement with them for
carrying the oil traffic over the Grand Trunk at
double the average price charged on theie line.
With regard to providing sufficient rolling stock,
they should subscribe the money among them. He,
for one, would advance £25,000 or £30,000 for that
purpose ; if they provided the necessary plant their
troubles would be at an end, and he believed it would
be one of the most prosperous undertakings on
either side of the water.

The CIIAIRMAN said if the bondholders would
only have patience they would soon be satisfied that
thebest had been done under the circumstances. If
they did not provide the necessary additional capi-
tal in some shape the traffic must remain stationary.
They must first get out of debt, get sufficient capi-
tal to provide what was requisite for the traffic, and
they could divide the profits every half-year. He
believed that from and after December next every-
thing that arose in the shape of profit would be
available. 'a

The report was then adopted, and the meeting was
made special, and the agreement with the Erie and.
Niagara Company was approved.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman and directors.

CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Gresham-house ; Mr.
J. J. Borradaile in the chair.

The report stated that the quantity of goods car-
ried over the line had been double that carried in
the corresponding period of last year. The passen-
ger traffic showed a small decrease in the number
of the lower class, to the extent of about 2 per cent.,
but a considerable increase of returns. The resort
of shipping to the port had also contributed to in-
crease the first-class passenger traffic to the extent
of more than 100 per cent. To provide for the
complete equipment of the line, as regards both
warehouse room and rolling stock, the directors had
obtained the approval of the Secretary of State for
India to raise the additional sum of £lOO,OOO on
debentures of the company issued for a period of
five years, bearing guaranteed interest at the rate
of 3 per cent., and convertible into guaranteed
stock.

The CHAIRNIAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the Uanning Company were making
7siiiiStictory Ai' r; Ili gel, to II ts f o elli-eltimiiiii-Vra rf age
during the cold season. - Ile believed that some of
the coasting steamers on their return voyage to Cal-
cutta would be ordered to proceed to the Mutlah
and take up their quarters there, andy facilities
were afforded by the company a continuous line ef
steamers would run to the port. Considerable in-
crease had taken place in the traffic, but difficulty
had been experienced in finding sufficient stock to
carry it on. Additional rolling stock was,however,
on its way out, and he had no doubt but that the
want would in the meantime be supplied by the East
Indian Railway Company. Notwithstanding the
increase in the receipts, the traffic was working at
a small loss.

Mr. MARSH MAN seconded the motion, and the
report was adopted.
In reply to a question, it was stated that the
bridge to connect their line with the East Indian
Railway at the other side of the Hooghly had not
been decided on.

A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors
concluded the proceedings.

HULL AND HORNSEA.

On Wednesday an adjourned meeting was held
at Hull, Mr. J. A. Wade in the chair.
Mr. Alderman LUMSDEN read the report of the
committee, which stated that negotiations had re-
sulted in the North-Eastern Company accepting the
proposition ,to take the line, with the exception of
two conditions—viz., that they would not provide
funds to meet the liabilities of the Hull and Horn-
sea Company, nor would they allow that company
a separate representation. Having assisted in these
negotiations, the committee devoted itself to the causes
of the excessive expenditure in the construction of the
line. It was found that the line was to be constructed
for £70,000, but the actual cost had been nearly
double. The contractor's bill showed a gross expen-
diture of £51,000, whereas the estimate was only a
little over £25,000. The estimate for the land was
£9,500, but the actual cost was £21,000. Thevarious
stations were estimated to cost £3,800, but the actual
expenditureunder this head reached £11,330. Some-
thing of the excessive expenditure was due to un-
foreseen difficulties. They considered that the in-
terests of the company had suffered by a want of
unanimity and cordiality among the directors, which
still existed. The report was unanimously adopted.

LADvEßnsEmENT.l—Holloway's Pills.—These pills are
better for strengthening a debilitated constitution than any
other medicine in the world. Persons of a nervous habit
of body, and all who are suffering from weak digestive
organs, or whose health has become deranged by bilious
affections, disordered stomach, or liver complaints, should
lose no time in giving these admirable pills a fair trial.
Coughs, colds, asthma, or shortness of breath are also
within the range of the sanative powers of this remarkable,
medicine. The cures effected by these pills are not super-
ficial nor temporary, but permanent and complete. They
are as mild as they are efficacious, and may be given with
confidence to delicate females and young children.

Perhaps the striking difference that existed
between Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT was never
more fully exemplified than in the speech delivered
at Blackburn last evening. In this oration we find
conspicuously displayed some of Mr. BRIGHT'S
most objectionable characteristics, some of those
qualities which will always detract from his repu-
tation as a public speaker, and rank him among
the exclusive, narrow-minded class of politicians.
From beginning to end his remarks were bitter,
virulent, and intolerant. He could hardly keep
his feelings under the control which courtesy and
good sense naturally impose on such occasions as
those on which a distinguished member of Parlia-
ment addresses a large body of his countrymen.
We might well imagine upon perusing this speech
that it belonged to the days when party feeling
ran high, and when Jpitterness and rancour in-
truded into every word that was spoken of political
opponents. In nothing has the tone of our days
more signally changed for the better than in this
respect, but it has been left for Mr. BRIGIIT and
his friends and supporters to show us how prejn_
judiced and intolerant they can be, who yet
aspire to influence public opinion, and to
be the tribunes of the people. The members
of the Tory party ,came in for a vigorous
onslaught, and should they survive the attack, they
may perhaps compare Mr. BRIGHT'S descriptions
with reality, and see where fact ends and fiction
begins. The real end is gained by such vehement
denunciation of others, and indeed Mr. BRIGHT
appears to forget that it was he and his friends who
prevented a Reform Bill from passing in 1859, and
Proved quite incompetent to bring in a suitable
measure the following year. If they have grown
more competent during all these years since, no one
prevents them from trying their hand again ; but on
no question has the Liberal party been more
divided than on this. It is very noticeable in Mr.
BRIGHT'S speeches that he displays no regard or
reverence for any of the institutions which are justly
the pride of all those who entertain patriotic senti-
ments. He never rises to the height that is due
when dwelling on those themes, so that party spirit
and political difference may be lost in the considera-
tion of national honour, and the sympathies which
should unite all to serve their common country.
Most of otir eminent politicians have at one time
and another spoken in eloquent and impressive
language on so fertile a theme and so congenial
a topic
as that of the House of Commons.
The other day, on the occasion of the civic banquet
at Guildhall, Mr. (+Limon delivered a very
