BAHIA AND SAN FRANCISCO.

The report of the directors states that the total
traffic receipts of this company for the year 186-1
amounted to £23,805 and the expenses to £51,953,
leaving a deficiency of £28,148. The largest item
of expenditure was still the maintenance of the line
(sleepers and fencing), the amount for this being
£11,263 for the last half-year; every other item of
expenditure had been considerably reduced, except
the repair of carriages and waggons, upon which
there had been a small increase. The reduction of
wages and salaries for the half-year had been
£2,606. The unexpended balance on capital ac-
count remaining in hand was £42,103, including
the amount of accrued interest of £11,568,
but the engagement for works immediately
necessary would nearly absorb this amount.
The above deficiency of £28,148 being deducted
from the guaranteed interest on £1,800,000
at 7 per cent. already received from the Imperial
Government, left a balance of £97,852 for dividend
for the year 1864. The interim dividend paid last
July at the rate of 52 per cent. per annum, and the
income-tax on that payment, absorbed £50,708,
leaving a balance of £47,144 to be divided. The
directors proposed that a further dividend of 10s.
per,share, or 2i per cent. free of income-tax, be de-
clared, leaving a balance of £1,019. The net revenue
for the year was at the rate of £5 Bs. 9d. per cent.
per annum. The vacancies in the direction caused
by the resignation of Mr. J. Samuel, Mr. B. Cohen,
Lieutenant-Colonel Miller, and Mr. T. A. Mitchell,
M.P., had been filled' up by Sir 11. Rich, Mr.
S. Neave, Mr. 11. Lewis, M.P., and Mr.
J. Morgan. The present Board did not in-
tend to enter into any discussion respecting the
report of the committee of shareholders ; but having
conferred with the retiring directors, they called
attention to a few of the observations made by the
committee. They stated, as regarded the first estab-
lishment of the company, that the late board, who
were appointed by the Brazilian Government, were
not parties to th&negotiation of the concession with
the Brazilian Government, or with the promoters
that the appointment of Mr. Vignoles as chief en-
gineer had virtually taken place when the present
company was formed, and only required the confir-
mation of the board, and it had never for one mo-
ment been regretted by them; that the ccntract
with Mr. Watson was concluded after other con-
tractors of eminence had been invited but declined
to compete, from want of knowledge of the country,
that the result had been that the line had been con-
structed, and all the various requirements of the
Brazilian authorities would be met at an expendi-
ture within the sum undertaken to be guaranteed by
the Imperial Brazilian Government. The new board
considered that the undertaking was capable of such
development as to render the shareholders secure of
receiving the guaranteed interest. There were
works connected with the railway still to be 'com-
pleted, and the line itself had not been definitively
accepted by the Government.

The Marquis of SALISBURY presented a petition from
Harrow School, praying to be heard by council against this
bill, and contended at some length that there was a neces-
sity for further investigation into this measure, which had
excited much dissatisfaction in certain circles.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a similar
petition from Rugby Schools. He said that the effect of
this bill would bo to deprive certain persons of the pri-
vileges they enjoyed, and of rights which had been
preserved for 300 years by those who praceded them
at Rugby, and which were secured to them originally by
Act of Parliament. If those persons were deprived of
their property, no description of property was safe, and he
_would endeavous to preserve their privileges.
The Earl of Powis also presented a petition from fellows
of St. John's College, Cambridge.
After:a few observations from Lord LYTTELTON and other
noble lords, the house adjourned.

" Mr. Nation has considerable facility in dashing off sketches,
and his 'Jottings' are curious and entertaining. The chapter
which pleases us most is named Only a Poor Player,' and
narrates rapidly, and with considerable spirit, the story of
David Garrick.' —Reader.

" Mr. Nation is a dvely writer, and can moralise in a spor-
tive style. Readers will deriver amusement from Mr. Nation s
sketches, for they are vigorous and polished, and contain wis-
dom as well as mirth."—Public Opinion.
" Mr. Nation's great charm is his thorough manliness and
outspoken dislike of cant and conventionality."—Tallis's

last award by arbitration. The directors had taken the ne-
cessary steps to apply to Parliament for power to convert
the bonded debt and Government loan into perpetual be-
benture stock. They had entered into an agreement with
the directors of the Cork, Youghal, and Queenstown Rail-
way for the purchase of the line for the sum of £310,000 of
