ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWS.

The following notice has been officially posted in the
Stock Exchange:—
" The Consolidated Bank, Limited, have received the
sum of thirty three thousand and three pounds ten
shillings (£33,003 10s.) from the earnings of tho month
of October of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for
the cs'edit of Trustees' Coupon Account.
" London, 4th December, 1865."

We wish to draw the attention of our friends to the
Prospectus now before the public of the Consolidated
Mortgage Sterling Bonds of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway, and, in doing so, would observe that
the divisional section of this undertaking are now, by laws
of the separate States, merged into one consolidated cor-
poration, having a consolidated: capital of Shares and
Bonds. This step had long been desirable, from the un-
certainty in the public mind as to the amount and disposition
of capital which the construction of the road in different
sections rendered unavoidable, and we are now glad to
place before our friends, in a concise form, the actual
position of the Company, and the clearly defined basis on
which it exists. As regards the present issue, we think it
must commend itself to the attention of investors, as from
the facts stated' in the prospectus, it will be seen that it
offers a security certainly equal to the Bonds of our hest
English railways, and the income secured is quite double
that which similar home securities would afford, for taking
into account the discount allowed on prepayment of calls,
and the coupon due on the 15th January next, the Bonds,
at the issuing price of 80 per cent., will yield to an inves-
tor, paying up in full an allotment, £9 Os. sd. per cent. Per
annum for 25 years, and at the end of that time a bonus of
20 per cent.

The London market for American securities has Wu'
pathised with the general markets in dulness and inacti-
vity during the past week, but, on the whole, prices hay°
been fairly maintained. United States, 5-20 Bonds show'
a fractional decline, closing 64 I. Illinois Shares hey.°
also receded three quarters of a dollar, being last quoted
821 to 1, but Eries have again improved one and-a-half
per cent., or to 581 to 591.
The issue of the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds of the
Atlantic and Great Western Railway appears to havo been
well received. Wo anticipate that the subscription list for
this loan will be closed before our next.
