PROSPECTUS.

This Company is formed—
To carry out a contract made with the London and
•Tiorth-Western Railway Company, for the purchase of a
'Toehold estate on the edge of the Menai Straits, in the
county of Carnarvon, consisting of about 80 acres of valu-
able building land, 20 acres of which were, some time since,
Planted and laid out by the late Sir Joseph Paxton, at a
Very large outlay.
2. To devote a portion of the estate lying nearest to the
ilenai-bridge station of the London and North-Western
Railway Company to the purposes of a first-class Hotel,
with appropriate gardens, pleasure grounds, and other
conveniences, and to erect, furnish, and maintain such
.4101 and grounds.
3. To dispose of the residue of the estate by way of
absolute sale, or to lease the same for the erection -of villa
and other residences, and to otherwise encourage building
thereon, as from time to Hine may appear most judicious
or desirable.
4. To take a lease for 99 years on agreed terms of the
Vreshment-rooms to be erected by the London and North-
awestern Railway Company at their Menai-bridge station,
:cite manage them in connexion with the Hotel, the Rail-
aY Company having agreed that they will improve and
Maintain their Menai station ass first-class station, at which
f
"T-fifths of all passenger trains, not being express, mail,
°r excursion trains, will stop.
5. To erect private and other baths, both salt and fresh
w .440, as well as to construct open bathing-places in the
„.
c•oeunds on the edge of the Straits.
•cs. The picturesque features of Carnarvonshire, with its in-
see rating climate, have long won for that county a large
1.0". of the public favour, and in the vicinity of the more
mantic and accessible spots, the demand for further first-
-44,9 Hotel accommodation and private residences has b -
,r 0 a matter of notoriety. Few sites have proved more
(active than those which the banks of the Straits possess,
`,"11 the estate which has been secured for the put of
the present Company is confessedly unrivalled in point of
situation and general eligibility.
The property thus available lies between the Menai and
etannia bridges, and is skirted on one side b the Menai
ilails, and on the other by the London and North-Western
the Way. The whole estate commands extensive views of
..Iv',Principal objects of interest and natural beauty with
inch the district abounds. The Pass of Llanberis, Snow-
..`l9o, Bangor, and Beaumaris, are all in its immediate vici-
V 13% The Harbour of Holyhead may be reached by railway
11,,,,au hour, and Liverpool and Manchester in three hours.
t - he promoters have carefully collected and examined,
edata upon which they rest their anticipation of the pro-
baole nature of the undertaking, and they can see no rea-
-1.3°11 Why the advance which of late years has taken place
11,1, the value of building sites at the more celebrated water-
cog-Places of England should not within the next few years
equally realised for this Company ; still less do the ppro-
motersbelieve that the success winch has invariably at-
nided the establishment of good Hotels, in co-operation
with our great Railways, will be wanting in the present
Instance.
there already exists a large demand for land in this lo-
'4l"tY, and the Shareholders may therefore confidently rental
°f derive a handsome profit from the sales and rental
of the estate.
It is an important consideration that the London and
North-WesternZ Railway Company, who have a direct in-
47est in the success of this project, are disposed to give it
their cordial support.
The Directors, under power conferred upon them by the
Articles of Association, will pay interest at 6 per cent. per
annum upon all calls and deposits till the opening of the
Hotel, which, it is expected, will take place in the course
of eighteen months. Shareholders desirous of paying up in
anticipation of the future calls, can do so, and interest will
061 allowed thereon at 6 per cent.
• Should no allotment be made the deposit will be returned
II," full, and if a greater number of shares be applied for
that is allotted, the surplus deposit will be applied in dimi-
nutionu of the payment to be made in respect of the deposit
on allotment.

TIIE QUEEN OF TIIE SANDWICH ISLANDS.—On
Monday last Queen Emma of the Sandwich Islands,
accompanied by Lady Franklin, Miss Craycroft, and a lady
in waiting, honoured Admiral and the Hon. Mrs. Hall with
her company to luncheon, at their house in Phillimore-
gardens, Campden-hill. After luncheon her Majesty exa-
mined the admiral's museum, with the varied contents of
which she was much pleased, taking special interest, how-
ever, in the Chinese collection, and the numerous models
of ships and boats. Among the company invited to meet
Queen Emma were Viscountess Torrington, the Hon. Mrs.
Luskin, the Hon. Hanbury Tracy, M.P., Mr. and Mrs.
Blyth, Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbyl, Archdeacon Sinclair, and
few other ladies and gentlemen from the. immediate
neighbourhood.

As a sequitur of Goodwood Brighton has always claimed
a very fair share of public patronage—more, however, from
its being considered in the light of a pleasurable little
gathering, and coming as an agreeable relief after the some-
what hard work of the previous week, than from any in-
trinsic merits of its own. This year, however, the commit-
tee, by the very liberal contribution of £2,400, including a
Gold Cup worth £4OO, have sought to give the meeting a
more business character, and if their efforts are seconded
by the leading men on the turf, there is little doubt that
Brighton will take higher rank than it has yet done.
There wore only six events for to-day, commencing with
the Bristol Plate, tone mile, generally an interesting race.
There was not much in it, however, beyond the top weight.
Guardsman, who, carrying Bst 121 b, made most of the run-
ning, and won cleverly. From Redmire's running at
Goodwood it looked a certainty for him in the Brighton
Stakes, and Verdant got closer to him coming up the hill
than was quite pleasant to his backers, yet he landed the
odds by half a length in the last few strides. There was
a fine race between Saladin and Armadillo in the Marine
Plate, the latter coming with a rush in the last 200 yards,
and, catching the favourite on the post, made a dead heat
of it. In the deciding heat the young one made strong
pace, but, being unable to get out of the way of his oppo-
nent, who stuck to him with unflinching gameness, was
beaten by a head, to the great glee of the fielders.
Longdown and Lo Mandarin were the only competitors
in the Biennial, the French horse making the favourite
gallop his quickest until they reached the Stand, where
Longdown won cleverly.
Archimedes carried off the Champagne Stakes in such
hollow style from Union Jack as to bring him into notice
for the St. Leger, 12 to 1 being offered about him after
the race.

The attendance was smaller than we are accustomed to
see at Brighton, though the weather was most propitious,
the storms of the previous day having laid the dust and
made it "good going."

The Bristol Plate of 50 sovs (handicap), for all ages. One
mile.

Mr. R. Cotton's Guardsman, 4 yrs, Bst 121 b (Daley 1
Mr. Hodgman's Vixen, 3 yrs, Bst (Morris 2
Mr. W. G. Craven's Cobweb, 3 yrs, 7st 51b (Loates 3
The following also ran :—Belle of the Ball, Tailor, John
Gully, Knight of the Whistle, Sympathy, Medicis, and
Vision.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Guardsman, sto 1 agst Cobweb, 6
to 1 agst Vixen, 100 to 8 agst Knight of the Whistle, 100
to 6 agst Sympathy.

A long delay at the post preceded the fall of the flag;
but at last they were despatched on equitable:terms, Guards-
man lying in the centre, having& trifle the best of it, closaly
attended by Knight of the Whistle, John Gully, Sympa-
thy, and Cobweb to the bend, when Knight of the Whistle
came up next the rails, and as they entered the bottom he
held a clear lead of Vixen, who, with Guardsman and Cob-
web in attendance, came on with the running to the enclo-
sure, when he dropped back, and Mr. Cotton's horse again
was left in front. At the Stand Vixen challenged; but,
failing to get up, was beaten after a fine finish by three
parts of a length. Cobweb was third, a length and a half
in their rear, Knight of the Whistle was fourth, Sympathy
fifth, and John Gully next. Tailor, who was last through-
out, trotted in along way in their rear.
The Brighton Stakes (Handicap) of 15 soya each, 10 ft.
with 200 added. Winners extra ; the second horse to

receive 50 sovs. One mile and three-quarters. 23 subs.,
nine of whom declared forfeit.

Mr. Fleming's Flatterer, 4 yrs, ist 121 b (IL Covey)) 5
Betting-7 to 4on Redmire, sto 1 agst any other.

Redcap jumped away with a clear lead and made the run-
ning at a strong pace, Veluti going on second, the favourite
third, close up with whom came Verdant. Several lengths
in their rear came Flatterer. These positions were retained
over the hill, but as they approached the bend the promi-
nent lead of the Marquis's colt sensibly decreased, andthey
got upon closer terms. On entering the straight, Redcap
resigned the pride of
,place to Verdant, who came up on
their right, and led into the bottom, where Redmire joined
him, and as they ascended the hill the pair became locked
together, and ran so to the Stand, where the favourite by
sheer gameness got his head in advance, and won a very
exciting race by half a length. 'There Were three lengths
between the second and third, a similar distance divided

the latter from the fourth. Flatterer, who never was in the
hunt, was beaten off 100 yards.

Tho South-Down Stakes of 5 soya each, with 100 added ;
for 2-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with selling
allowances. T.Y.C. Three-quarters of a mile.

The following also ran :—Puritan, Triumpher, Sym-
pathy, Madcap, Polka, and Court Milliner.
Betting-2 to 1 agst Trap, 4to 1 agst Salliet, sto 1 agst
Money Spinner, and 7 to 1 agst Polka.
Through the over-anxiety of the riders of Triumpher,
Salliet, and Puritan, the start was delayed upwards of hall
an hour. When the signal was lowered they got away in
straggling order. Madcap, Polka, and Triumpher being left
a long way in rear of everything, Sympathy, in company
with Trap and Puritan, ran nearly abreast, followed by
Money Spinner and Salliet into the bottom, when Money
Spinner came out, and in the next few strides drew in ad-
vance, and with Trap and Salliet finished the race home,
the former winning in a cantor by three lengths. Trap
defeated Mr. Stephenson's colt by a couple of lengths for
second, Puritan was fourth, Court Milliner fifth, and Sym-
pathy :sixth. The last three were Madcap, Polka, and
Triumpher. The winner was bought in for 135 guineas.
The Marine Plato of 100 sous (handicap), added to a
sweepstakes of 5 sot's each. Winners extra. T.Y.C.
Three-quarters of a mile.

May Queen, and Musketeer.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Saladin, 100 to 30 agst Lytham, and
10 to 1 agst any other.

My Cob, in company with the favourite, Lytham, Arma-
dillo, and Musketeer, got away together, and ran so into the
bottom, where Lytham and Musketeer were beaten, leaving
Saladin in possession of a clear lead, but who was caught
half-way up by Armadillo, tho pair finishing a splendid race
with a dead heat. My Cob was third, four lengths in their
rear, Musketeer was fourth, May Queen fifth. Imogene,
Lytham, and Camillus were tho three last.

Deciding Heat.—Betting, 2tol on Saladin, who made
the running to the Stand, where Armadillo reached him,
and after a punishing struggle won a splendid race by a
head.

Andes and the Flutter colt were the first away, but after
they had proceeded a hundred yards Union Jack headed
them, and came on with a decided lead to the foot of the
hill, where Archimedes, who had hitherto laid away, joined
b
him. The latter half-way up, having his opponent eaten,
won very cleverly by three parts of a length. There were
three lengths between the second and third. The Flutter
colt was beaten off.

AQUATIC S,

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.

A strong north-westerly wind, a dark and lowering sky,
with piled-up banks of clouds flying rapidly to leeward,
pierced at long intervals with fitful gleams of sunshine, the
barometer at 29.73 and going up, its

" First rise after low
Foretelling stronger blow,"
were the principal features of early morning yesterday in
the eyes of yachtsmen as day broke on the beautiful waters
of the Solent. It was the day on which the premier yacht
club of England fittingly opened its aquatic carnival for
1865 with a race between some of the finest schooner yachts
in the world for her Majesty's Cup.
There was in the general appearance of the weather a
promise of its boisterous continuance throughout the day, a
fact unpleasant enough to shore-going people of that class
which prefers witnessing the great races of the squadron
under the pleasant conditions of summer sunshine and
very gentle breezes, but exhilarating beyond compare to
the crews of the handsome craft preparing to enter upon
their struggle for "The Cup," the most honoured and
coveted prize of the season. Cowes Roads appeared studded
with yachts of every class and rig, from the tiny "centre-
board" to the magnificent topsail schooner and snake-like
screw clipper, the burgees of nearly every yacht club in

above all towered the lofty spars of her Majesty's screw

the decks of the yachts in the roads could be seen the
Royal Standard on the towers of Osborne, denoting the
presence of her Majesty and the Royal Family at the
Queen's favourite marine palace, and giving additional in-
terest to the day's race by the possible presence of Royalty
afloat during some part of its progress.

At 10 o'clock precisely the signal was given for tlie start

from the Castle flagstaff, and in a few seconds all were
away under the pressure of all the canvas they could pile
on their spars, the Egeria taking a strong lead, with the
others all close up in a ruck together, the flags of the Aline
and Albertine flying out defiantly, the former in the rear
and the latter in the front rank of the nick. The wind
was now N.N.W., and the tide low water, slack, the ves-
sels running off on their 15 mile course to the Nab before a
nice fresh but full-sail breeze, moderated somewhat since
daybreak, and carrying the young flood up with them
aydo Pier head was passed thus :

From Ryde Pier to the Nab very little change took place in
the relative positions of the vessels, but in luffing round
the lightship the Albertine, Aline, and Galatea began to
look dangerous. The smoke from a gunboat firing shell •
between the Warner and the Nab prevented any accurate
timing of the sckooners past the Nab. Each vessel in
approaching the Nab sent down her big topsail and got
out her working jib, in lieu of the large ballooner she
had been running up with, in readiness to beat back
westward to the mark-vessel in Yarmouth-roads—a dead
beat against wind and tide 0,74)1.22 miles of water if steamed
over in straight lines. In beating up towards Spithead all
stood well inshore under St. Idelentsand in Priory Bay, and
continued working along the edge of the island shoals for
the Warner light-vessel, to shun the tide. At noon, the
wind losing some of its force, but still continuing a good-
full-sail breeze, the Aline, under her four sails and with
topmasts housed, took having the Albertine
a short distance astern with rsitfihatjib-headedplace, topsail set on her
maintopmast, the Egeria and Titania under her lee, and the
remainder of the fleet scattered some distance astern, the
race now appearing to lie between the commodore of the
Royal Victoria Yacht Club and Lord Londesborough, with
the chances in favour of the commodore, whose vessel, the
Aline, was working away at a wonderful rate, but closely
pursued by the famous Albertine. At 1 p.m. the Aline tacked
under the Ryde Sand, and stood over to the northward
under 'the lee of the S.E. buoy of the Sturbridge, with her
maintopmast up again, and a jib-headed topsail set on it.
The Egeria was second now in the race, working up in
Portsmouth harbour channel under Southsea Reach, with
the Albertino and Titania in close company, all three hav-
ing topsails aloft, the first-named a jib-headed one, and the
two others square-headedones. The Viking stood well over
to the shore under Southsea, while the Pantomime, Galatea,
and Aquiline, bringing up the rear in the order named, were
working along the island shore. In mid-tideway the Aline
appeared for some time in difficulties in shifting her jib and
hung on the tide, the Egeria coming out from under South-
sea in a good position to windward, with the Albertino and
Titania under her lee. After setting her jib fairly the Aline
stood in for the island shore as far as Ryde-roads, when the
wind slightly veered westward, improving the position of
all on the island shore and placing Pantomime second in the
race, Viking third, Albertine fourth, an Titania fifth, the
two latter having both fore and main topsails set. The
Egeria was at the same time to leeward, working down
along the north shore in Stokes Bay. The Aline, Panto-
mime, and Viking weathered Ryde Pier head and stood in
close to the shoal before tacking. The Viking went about

three latter pretty close together. The Albertine lost ground
off Cowes by standing too far over for the north shore.
Titania was sixth, westward of Cowes, and a mile astern
of the Pantomime. About another mile astern came the
little Aquiline, with the Galatea moving sluggishly at
some distance under her lee and bringing up the rear. The
relative positions of the vessels were very little changed
down to the mark-vessel at the western extremity of the
course, which having been rounded each craft in her
turn squared away for Cowes. The Egeria, however, so
shortened the distance between herself and the Aline by
the time she rounded the mark-boat second that only 1
min. 12 sec. was between them, and if the Egeria could
only keep at this short distance, even without improving
upon.it in the run Iv to Cowes,. she would-win the cup by
her-allowance of time which her difference in tonnage
giverher from the Aline.-

The Registrar-General's Quarterly'Return.

The registered births in the second quarter of the
year were 262,367, and the registered deaths 157,485.
The estimated population in 1865 of England,
Scotland, and Ireland is 29,772,294. This return
comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,200
registrars in all the districts of England during the
spring quarter that ended on June 30, 1865 ; and
the marriages in 12,765 churches or chapels, about
5,207 registered places of worship unconnected with
the Established Church, and 641 superintendent
registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended onMarch
31, 1865. Marriages were numerous in the first
three months of the present year, chiefly in conse-

uence of increased activity in the manufactures
and other industry of the northern populations ; the
birth rate in the second quarter was high, as it has
been in every quarter since the summer of 1863 ;
and the death rate was above the average, for while
the southern parts of the country were remarkably
healthy, the mortality was high in Wales, andit was
not low in some north •n counties. Of weddings the
number in the March quarter was 36,83r.J • the daily
average was 409. As it is the season in which
employment is the slackest, it is also that invariably
in which marriages are the fewest. There were
6,380 marriages in London. The four most
populous districts of the metropolis are Pancras,with
about 200,000 persons, Kensingston, Lambeth, and
Marylebone. In Kensington there were 469 mar-
riages ; in Pancras, with its larger population, 452 ;
in Marylebone ahnost the same number, though it
contains fewer persons than Pancras by upwards of
30,000 ; in Lambeth the number was very great, for
it rose to 482, the highest returned by the London
districts, though its population scarcely exceeds
that of Marylebone, and is much less than those of
Pancras and Kensington. The annual marriage rate
in the quarter, viz., proportion per cent. of persons
married to population, was 1.428, the average of 10
corresponding quarters, 1855-64, being F3Bl. In
1864 (winter quarter) the rate was 1472. The num-
ber of children born in the three months ending 30th
June was 192,921, against 188,641 in the same
period of last year. Ili London the births were
26,408 against 25,014 ; in Lancashire they were
25,63, against 25,467. The counties of Durham
and Northumberland exhibit a marked increase.
The former with a population in 1861 of 542,125
persons return 7,111 births; South Wales contain-
ing 699,722 persons in 1861 returns not more than
7,182. The annual birth rate in the quarter was
3.691 per cent. against an average of 3.603 in ten
previous June quarters. Within this range of com-
parison it rose in only one instance as high as
3.700. In London the birth rate was 3.515 ; in
the city of Manchester, 3.624 ; in the borough
of Liverpool it was as high as 4.173; in that
of Leeds, 4.497 ; and in Glasgow it rose to
4.604. The registers of births record, as has
been mentioned, a total of 192,921 ; the deaths in
the same three months are 116,006. The excess of
the former over the latter is 76,915, and represents
the natural increase of population, which averaged
845 daily. From ports in the United Kingd nn
where there are Government emigration offices there
went out in the June quarter 7.1,087 emigrants, of
whom 52,730 were destined for the United States,
6,943 for British North America, 9,820 for the Aus-
tralian colonies, and 1,594 for other parts of the
world. More than a fourth part of the emigration
consisted of persons of English origin ; the number
of Irish emigrants was double that of .English, and
all the former, except a few thousands, went to the
United States. The Scotch who left their native
country were about 4,600. The emigration to the
United Stateswas not quite equal to that of the same
quarter in either of. the 'two preceding years ; and
the numbers who went to other destinations also.
showed a decrease. The total number of deaths in
the quarter that ended June 30 was 116,006 against
118,121 and 116,899 in the same three months of
1863 and 1864 respectively. The returns of London
in the last three months discover, as regards absolute
numbers, a near approach to identity ; butthose of the
kingdom generally show a decrease in last quarter,
Wales, and some northern
been rife,
or active industrial
of England, where
epidemic diseases have
operations have attracted population, being the only
important exceptions. The singularly fine weather
has exercised a beneficial influence on the public
health ; and the effect would doubtless have been
more marked in the death registers if the preceding
March had been less cold and ungenial. The winter
months, and especially March, were as remarkable
for cold as the late spring season was for heat, and
many bronchial affections, which the former period
transmitted, ran their course to a fatal termination
after the propitious change of weather had begun.
In England the anual rate of mortality for the June
quarter was 2.220 per cent.—deaths to 100 persons
living—against an average of 2.191 for the corre-
sponding period in ten years. In 1863 and 1864
the rate was 2.308 and 2.260 per cent. In Lon-
don the total number of deaths was 17,367. The
annual rate of mortality for the quarter was 2.316
per cent. In the town of Leeds it was 2.714 ; in that
of Liverpool it was 3.125 ; in Dublin it was 2.368 ;
in Edinburgh, 2.639 ; in Glasgow, 3.065. Of ten
large towns in the United Kingdom, Birmingham
shows the lowest mortality for last spring ; and Bris-
tol in the same table stands in a position not much
less favourable. In the deaths from scarlatina in
London there was a decided decrease; they were 285,
which is much less than in any June quarter since
1861; in the December quarter of last year they
were 1,095. It is satisfactory that typhus has not in-
creased recently, although the decrease is not consi-
derable. In the last quarter of 1864 the deaths from
it were 1,064; in the first two quarters of the present
year they were 936 and 700. There were 738 deaths
in London from diarrhoea and summer cholera.
This complaint, which is commonly so fatal to young
children in a more advanced period of the year, ap-
pears to have been forced into earlier development
by the unusual heat of the season ; for in the spring
quarter of 1863 and 1864, the numbers referred to
it were only 232 and 334. Thus in the pre.sent
year the previous number has been more than
doubled. It is possible that other unusual condi-
tions besides temperature have tended to produce

The directors of this company have determined to
recommend to the proprietors, at the general meet-,
ing on the 19th inst., to declare a dividend for the
half-year ending the 30th of June last, at the rate
of £5 10s. per cent. per annum on the original stock
of the company, giving for the half-year £2 15s per
cent. to the original stock, £3 per cent. to the
stock, and £2 10s. per cent, to the A stock.

HAMMERSMITH AND PITY.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office, Bedford-street, Strand ; Mr.
T. E. Foakes in the -ehair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he had very little to say in addition to
it. The Great Western and Metropolitan Railway
Companies had remitted to them the stipulated pay-
ments due on the Ist of July. The directors recom-
mended that a dividend be declared and paid at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the amounts paid-
in respect of the 5 per cent. preference shares, and
at the same rate on the original stock. The deed of
transfer was not yet prepared for their approval, as
it was only since the 19th of June last the Metro-
politan Company were in a position to deal with it.
The matter would be forwarded as soon as possible,
at the same time they were in receipt of the sum
for dividend as if the whole was signed or sealed.
An accident had occurred on their line in conse-
quence of the nature of the soil and a subsidence in
one or two of the arches of the viaduct, which had
the effect of stopping the traffic on their line for two
days. The cause of the subsidence had arisen from

the nature of the soil and from some defects in the
workmanship.' It appeared that Mr. Rummens, the
contractor, was not liable for this circumstance after
the 13th of June last, but Mr. Rummens said that
he was prepared to do what was necessary to put
that portion of the line in good order at his own ex-
pense. He (the chairman) thought it was right the
shareholders should know the liberal manner in
which that matter was dealt with by the contractor.
(Hear.) The Fulham Railway Company had ob-
tained an act for extending the Hammersmith line
to the Thames, and he believed the Great Western
and Metropolitan Companies were prepared to take
up that project on similar terms to those of the
Hammersmith line, with a view to carry it out.
Lieut.-Colonel WARD seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report, and it was agreed to. The
dividends, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, less
income-tax, were declared on the preference and
ordinary shares, and the proceedings terminated.
