terest at 7 per amt. per annum, payable half-yearly in
Ondon.

AGENTS.
111 London—Messrs. J. Henry Schroder and Co.
In Havana—The Bank of Commerce, Francis Fraser,
Esq., Manager.
This Company was formed in 1857, obtained its conces-
sion the same year, and in 1861 the main road was corn-
Meted from Regla, in the Bay of Havana, to Matanzas, a
utstance of 54 miles.
„_Since then branch lines of considerable value have been
'urietructed.
ti The cost of. construction to this date is £1,056,000 of
nis sum £448,000 was raised upon shares subscribed in'the
'lsland.
£250,000 was raised in London, in 1861, by a first mort-
gage loan, bearing 7 per cent. interest, and repayable by
h," operation of a Anking of £25,000 per annum, corn-
£loog 1867, which will redeem the entire loan in 1876.
t£loo,ooo was similarly raised in 1863 for the construction
°' two branch roads, secured by a second mortgage on the
road,
and guaranteed by the Bank of Commerce, repayable
Y the operation of a sinking fund of £4,000 per annum,
conimencing in 1873.
A considerable portion of the remainder of the capital
has been supplied from time to time out of the earnings of
the road.
The results of the undertaking have been very satisfac-
tory, and show the following returns :-
1862 Gross receipts £100,700
1863
1861 e
And 1865 gross receipts from January to June £93,000
Against same period, 1864 82,000
The Bay of Havana and Matanzas Railroad Company
has now effected the purchase of the Coliseo Railroad,
l'enning from Matanzas to Bemba, a distance of 35 miles, a
IrerY valuable road. and of immense importance to the Bay
^f Havana and Matanzas Company, inasmucha it is in
direct junction with that road at Matanzas, traversing a
v,strict rich in sugar produce ; and being connected at
4ieltha with the Cardenas and Jucaro Railroad, becomes a
ketion of the central road of the island, which will very
~all.°rtly reach Villa Clara by the completion of the Car-
mesas and Jucaro Railroad.
follows The returns of the traffic of the Coliseo Railroad are as
:-
1860 Gross receipts £49,100
1862
71
1864
,200
M the returns of 1865, from Jan. to 20th May...£49,000
against 1864, same time., 45,000
e, •
o complete this purchase, the Bay of Havana and
'lktanzas Company desire to raise a loan in London of
t 400,000, bearing interest at 7 per cent. per annum, pay-
ttble half-yearly in London.
As security for this loan, the Bay of Havana and Matan-
tfi Railroad Company will effect a first mortgage on the
Coliseo Railroad, its rolling stock, appurtenances, and all
ri°Perties ; and also a mortgage on the Bay of Havana and
atanzas Railroad and its branches, subject only to the
etisting mortgages of £350,000, of which the first mort-
Ne of £250,000 will be paid off entirely in 1876, by the
bPeration of the sinking fund which commences in 1867.
The property thus mortgaged is as follows :
The Coliseo Railroad to be purchased out of the proceeds
of this loan, producing a gross revenue in 1864 of £71,200.
is The Bay of Havana and Matanzas Railroad and its
*nches, costing £1,056,000, producing a gross revenue in
*l-q64 of £143,000 (subject only to the above-mentioned
ta°rtgages).
It will be noticed that the revenue of the Bay of Havana
1,14 Matanzas, as well as that of the Coliseo Railroad, has
some years been steadily increasing at the rate of 20 per
yllit per annum, and it is beyond a doubt that the amalga-
Zdition of the two roads, by a natural increase of traffic and
'arge saving of expenditure in the administration, will
eoclece a far larger revenue, and may be fairly estimated
'or the corning year at £250,000 gross, or fully £lOO,OOO
bet revenue.
For the repayment of this loan a sinking fund is ar-
'Plged for, whereby £20,000 is to be paid off annually,
either by the purchase of bonds or public drawing, its ope-
tation to commence in 1877, by which time the first mort-
gage loan of X 250,000 will be entirely redeemed.
Bonds will be issued in sums of £lOO, and bear in-
thl? rest coupons, payable 10th June and 10th December, at
e counting-house of Messrs. J. Henry Schroder and Co.
The first coupon will be payable 10th June next.
