MICHIGAN CENTRAL.
On a careful analysis of the annualreport of this com-
pany (which has just come to hand, and which we give
below), we see ranch reason to be satisfied with tho pre-
sent prosperous condition of the undertaking, a state of
affairs duo to able and honest management.
It will be observed that, in the report of the vice-presi-
dent, the amount of bonded debt and capital stock differs
from that stated by the treasurer ; this apparent discre-
pancy arises from the fact that the treasurer has to pro-
vide interest for the entire bonded debt, while the vice-
presid cut takes credit for the amount of the sinking funds,
which now amount to over $1,000,000.

Taking the treasurer's report as a basis of calculation,
wo find that, during the fiscal year, the gross earnings of
the road were 28.25 per cent. on the entire capital. This,
to holders of English stock, must appe-x a large receipt,
when it is remembered that our own London and North-
Western earns less than 10 per cent, on its entire outlay.
There is a slight falling-off in traffic, as compared with
the previous year. This is due entirely to a diminution in
receipts from passengers, as under the head of freight we
find a small increase. Tho income of the road has been
appropriated as follows:
65.23 per cent. for operating, including 8902,265 expended
in repairs of road and buildings.
3.97 do. for sinking funds and Government tax.
14.49 do. for interest and exchange.
16.31 do. available for stockhol!ers.

100.00
Tho large expenditure on the track and buildings is an
evidence that the line is maintained in efficient repair, and
at the same time its permanent value is enhanced. The
increase of capital other than by conversion of bonds is
$893,300, of this there appears to have been appropriated
$614,391 for construction; the additional cash on hand
was $258,000, and the balance appears under the hands of
the General Superintendent.
The transactions in American securities on the London
market during the past week have been numerous and im-
portant, prices generally being well supported. United
States Government Stocks show little alteration, the 5-20's
of 1862 being last quoted 721 to *,;and the 1865's 71-1 to
Illinois Shares close. 76 77, or half per cent. under the price
of this day week. Erios, after our last, declined to 44, but
from this on renewed buying fcr shipment to America they
have reacted to 47i to 481.

....
Some buying on Continental account advanced the quo-
tation for Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds
to 24, but the decrease in traffic receipts for June, on this
line in common with nearly all American railroads, has
had a prejudicial effect, and they have to-day declined to
221 23i. The Divisional Bonds have also receded about
2 per cent.

Maximilian road Santa Anna:

- --

Maximilian, born archduke, some time ruler of
one empire, and, but for a sickly child, heir appa-
rent to another, sleeps -with his fathers. The deed
has been consummated for which the Emperor
Napoleon may be partly responsible, but which
blackens with an ineffaceable stigma the Mexican
name. The murder of this unfortunate prince is
entirely in keeping with the traditional cowardice,
the bloodthirsty cruelty, the feminine spite which
have long been recqgnised as the nation al cha-
racteristics of his assassins, and which have
earned for them the loathing of Christendom,
the undisguised co :..tempt of every Anglo-Saxon
soldier. By, for he Mexicans, an unfortunate
coincidence, their wanton crime comes upon the very
heels of an act of clemency in a contiguous nation,
which, as a sequel to provocation far more bitter
to the conquerinr; majority than the course of
Maximilian could 1)e to the majority of Mexicans,
sets forth his murl der in colours more offensive and
pitiful by the contrast. It is urged that a certain
retributive justice extenuates the course of Juarez
and his associate since Maximilian had caused
the execution of s,pme of the Liberal officers. To
this it is to be said, first, that, granting the facts,
they were necess wily covered by a plea of mili-
tary necessity v Thiel' was entirely inapplicable
to the retaliation ; and, second, that we have
strong assurances from sources entitled to credit
that Maximilian repeatedly insisted on saving,
and actually did save in many instances, the lives
of officers whom his military tribunals had con-
demned. But the, cases are so far different that a
comparison becorevm idle on the least survey of the
two situations. In the heat of war, with rival parties
struggling for exi 3tence, actions are performed on
both sides in nalst cases which would never be
tolerated or excu led under other circumstances.
When the ex-Emperor was shot war was over.
There was not they least pretence of danger from
further military measures on the part of the Im-
perialists. Their cause, long before known to be
hopeless, had now absolutely collapsed, and the
fact was matter of notoriety. The handful left
to Marquez might retire to the mountains, but
with far less chance of rotracted resistance than
Johnson had afteme the surrender of Lee. Moreover
solemn assurances were tendered to the Repub-
lican leaders that their captive, if suffered to depart,
should never again set foot on Mexican soil. Maxi-
milian was allied, by blood or marriage to nearly
every reigning fa roily in Europe, and the representa-
tives of their respective nations offered to Juarez
every security, rahausted every argument, pleaded,
implored, threatened, but all in vain. The generous
nation wanted blood, and blood alone would appease
its thirst or assuage its patriotic fury. The people
who for forty years have misgoverned themselves
rather worse than the most savage African tribes
could not for; give even an unsuccessful attempt to in-
troduce amm)g them the intolerable curses of law and
order. Not withstanding a large party among the
Mexicans thwnselves desired the establishment of the
empire, none, it seems, in the hour of peril has bad
courage to stand forth and protest against a deed
which for need less and dastardly cruelty, outside of
Mexico, is al most unparalleled. The Republican
leaders have thought proper in this business to
treat with co3itempt the entreaties of the repro-

sentatives of tl to great Powers of Europe ; this they
may afford to e,o, since further infringements of the
➢ionroe doctrim to are likely to be indefinitely post-
poned. They ]lave also passed by with disdainful
indifference the humane solicitations of the United
States Governor nent ; how far this will prove to
have been a jutlicious policy remains to be seen.

The shooting of poor old Santa Anna, which seems
to have been reg arded by his sanguinary captors as

a suitable afterp iece to the bloody drama already
enacted, is, in soine respects, less defensible than
the execution of Maximilian ; but it is to be
remembered that Santa Anna had been the occasion
of infinite misery ,to his country, and that the suc-
cessive offer of his. services to Maximilian and to
Juarez deprived hi m of his last right to be credited
with patriotic motives. Neither of these deeds will
be forgotten or fc ngiven. They will do more to
sink the credit of the Mexican nation than anything
in its history. It i s amazing to find writers in our
own press seeking to palliate crimes so shocking
and so useless. They are the acts of wolves, not
men, and as such they deserve to be recorded and
expiated.—Round

COUNTRY MARKETS.

There was a moderate attendance at to-day's market,
and the improvement gained in wheat on Tuesday was
lost, and we quote a decline of ld and 2d per cental on the
ratos of Tuesday last. Flour was quiet. Malt as before.
Barley scarce, and firm. Oats in fair request, and price°
fully supported. India a corn quiet.
