RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY.

THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BOND AS AN INVESTMENT.
The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now
building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with
its western connections, an unbroken lino across the con-
tinent, attracts attention to the value 'of the first mort-
gage bonds which the company now offer to the public.
The first question asked by prudent investors is, "Are
these bonds secure ?" Next, " Aro they a profitable invest-
ment ?" To reply in brief :—First—The early completion of
the whole great lino to the Pacific is as certain as any
future business event can be. The Government grant of
over twenty million acres of land and fifty million dollars
in its own bonds practically guarantees it. Ono-fourth of
the work is already done, and the track continues to be
laid at the rate of two miles a day. Second—The Union
Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upon what promises to
bo ono of the most profitable lines of railroad in the coun-
try. For many years it must be the only lino connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific; and being without competition,

it can maintain remunerative rates. Third—Three hun-
dred and seventy-six miles of this road are finished and
fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, &c., and
two trains are daily running each way. The materials
for the remaining 141 miles to the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains aro on hand, and it is under contract to
be done in September. Fourth—The not earnings of the
sections already finished aro several times greater than the
gold interest upon the Fret Mortgage Bonds upon such
sections, and if not another mile of the road wore built, the
part already completed would not only pay interest and
expenses, but be profitable to the company. Fifth—The
Union Pacific Railroad Bonds can be issued only as the
road progresses, and, therefore, can never be in the
market unless they represent a bona fide property.
Sixth Their amount is strictly limited by law to a
sum equal to what is granted by the United States
Government, and for which it takes a second lion as its
security. This amount upon the first 517 miles west
from Omaha is only $46,000 per mile. Seventh—The
fact that the United States Government considers a
second lien upon the road a good investment, and
that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the
country bavo already paid in $5,000,000 upon the stock
(which is to them a third lien), will inspire confidence
in a first lien. Eighth—Although it is not claimed
that there can be any bettor securities than Govern-
ments, there are parties who consider first mortgage upon
such property us the very best. security iu the world, tind.

who sell their Governments to reinvest in these bonds,
thus securing a greater interest. Ninth—As the Union
Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for the present at 90
cents on the dollar and' accrued interest, they aro the
cheapest security in the market, being 15 per cent. less
than United States stocks. Tenth—At the currant rate of
premium on gold, they pay over 9 per cent. interest.
The immense importance tothe whole world of the above
enterprise induces us to publish the entire prospectus of
the company. We are gratified to learn that the house of
Norton and Co., American 'bankers, have made arrange-
ments to introduce these bonds in Europe upon the most
favourable terms. As-there is at present no security of-
fered which presents so favourable an opportunity for in-
vestment, we feel confident that the demand will be fully
equal to the expectations of those gentlemen, who are uow
prepared to pay the July coupons at their banking-house,
14, rue Auber, Paris.

RAIL ROAD EARNINGS PER MILE. Seventeen
railroads in America, all but three Western, earned dur-
ing the month' of April $6,030,678. This is an increase
over the returns for the same month' of last year of
$33,1,538. Five of these roads suffered a slight decrease.
The aggregate length of these seventeen roads is 7,368
miles ; their average earnings per mile during April were
$BlB, an increase of $25 over the returns for April of last
year. The aggregate length of the railroads in England,
Scotland, and Ireland is 13,286 miles. Their gross earn-
ings during the week ending May 3, 1867, were $3,491,233
in gold. This was an increase over the returns for-the
Same week of last year of $98,189. The receipts per mile
for the week were $278 in gold, which is a heavier rate
than that on the seventeen American roads of which we
have spoken.

TIIE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—A. New York paper
says very rapid progress is being made with the
work of the Pacific Railroad from this end of the
route; but we learn that the energetic Californians
are pushing along from ,the other and with even
more marvellous rapidity, since their work lies not on the
level prairie land, but amid mountain passes and through
the tough rock of the Sierra. The great Summit Tunnel,
to be 1,660 feet long, had generally been calculated as a

3 or 4 rears' job; but, putting in practice the underground
tactics which their quartz-mining had taught them, our
California friends not only began at both ends, but sunk a
shaft in the middle and worked both ends from that. The
tunnel was commenced last September, and on the Ist of
May had but 681 feet remaining to be taken out. This
was disappearing at the rate of 60 feet each week, which
rate promises to have it completed in August —eleven
months from the start ! The road is now open for busi-
ness as far westward as Julesburg, 380 miles west from
the initial point. The telegraph has been built westward
as far as the 385th mile. The President, on the sth inst.,
accepted this eleventh section and ordered the bonds and
patents for lands to bo issued to the company. The pre-
vious section of 40 miles was accepted by the President on
the 10th June. Within one month this company has re-
ceived from the Government bonds to the amount of
sl,2Bo,ooo—the subsidy given for the construction of 80
miles of railroad.
By the middle of October the iron horse will be

mounting the rugged sides of the Rocky Mountains, so
the Jacksonville Journal says, and startling the genii of
the mountains from the slumber of ages. The editor
thinks then it would be a fine thing if two, or say three
hundred editors, from all parts of the country should join
in an excursion to the western terminus of " the grandest
achievement of the age." The various railroad com-
panies would be sure to give free passes, ho thinks, and
we dare say he is right ; he is lamentably wrong when he
offers us this bewitching inducement in a circular : " or,
if the Indians should continue belligerent, we might join
General Sherman on a short expedition, and each be
allowed to take and bring away a trophy of valour in the
shape of the scalp of a redskin." If the editor of this
journal makes one of the party, he will insist, in the
interest of humanity and civilisation, that the editor of
the Jacksonville ✓ournal be allowed to go no further than
Omaha, or at the very farthest Fort Kearney.—The
Nation.

The Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad Com-
pany is reported to have arranged with the Erie Railway
and tho Pennsylvania Coal Company to indorse its bonds
for $7,000,000. This sum, with'the three millions granted
by the State of Massachusetts, will suffice to complete the
unfinished links between Willimantic and Mechanicsville,
and between Waterbury and Fishkill.

Late Colorado papers state that the railroad con-
nection between the Pacific Railroad at Crow Creek and
Golden City, in the mining regions of Colorado, will be
completed in May, 1868. The calculated approximate
distance from tho Union Pacific Railroad, Omaha Branch,
on Crow Creek, to Golden City, by the first route, is about
eighty-four miles; and by the South Platte and Clear
Creek Valleys to Golden City, about ininety-eight miles.
The length of the proposed branch to Denver is about seven
miles.

The Cincinnati Gazette says the railroad men who
have been negotiating in the interest of the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, to get control of a through line from
Philadolpha to St. Louis, have not been able to obtain pos-
session of the Indianopolis and Terre Haute Railroad,
although they have secured the Terre Haute and Alton
Road.

From California we have the information that
the Central Pacific Railroad is being pushod forward with
energy. There are 16,000 workmen employed in grading ;
the tunnel, 1,658 feet long, will be completed in August,
and the road over the Sierra Nevada mountains will be
finished in November. Tho recent strike of the Chinese

labourers only caused a suspension of work for one day.
The business of the road for June largely exceeded that in
May, the gross receipts being $l4OOO in coin.

COURT OF COON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was
_ _

held at Guildhall for the despatch of business, the
Lord Mayor presiding.

THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE CZAR.
The Town Clerk (Mr. Woodthorpe) read a com-
munication from Baron Brunnow, the Russian
ambassador, enclosing the following despatch from
the Chancellor, Prince Gorteha:low :
" Petersburgh, June 22, 1867.
" Baron,—l have not omitted to place in the
hands of his Majesty the Emperor the dispatch of
your excellency of the 14th (26th) of June, which
gives an account of the proceedings of the Lord
Mayor and the delegates of the City of London, as
well as the address of congratulation which the cor-
poration has asked you to transmit to his Imperial
Majesty, on the occasion of the Providential grace
of which he has recently been the object.
" You have perfectly interpreted the feeling of
his Imperial Majesty in the reply which you have
sent to the Lord Mayor. Our august master wishes
you to thank him in his name, as well as the alder-
men of the City of London, and to tell them how
much his Imperial Majesty has felt this proof of
sympathy from so estimable a body, and how much
he has appreciated the cordial expression given to
sentiments which will be welcomed with satisfaction
throughout the whole of Russia, and how much he
he congratulates himself upon seeing dispositions
so amicable taking such a firm hold upon the two
conntries.

" Accept, baron, the assurance of my high consi-
deration.

(Signed) • GORTCHACOW."
This communication was ordered to be entered
upon the journals of the court.

THE BELGIAN RECEPTION.
The Town Clerk also read the following commu-
nication :

" Grosvenor Hotel, 17th July.
"My dear Sir,--I am directed by Col. Gregoire,
commander-in-chief of the Civic Guards of Belgium,
and by all officers of his staff, to tender to the cor-
poration of the City of London, and to you per-
sonally, as the first proposer of the Belgian recep-
tion, their most heartfelt thanks for the gorgeous
and splendid reception which the corporation gave
them last Friday.
" Almost every officer and hundreds of guards

have verbally and otherwise requested me to ex-
press to the corporation their sincere thanks and
their sense of unqualified gratification at the hos-
pitable and enthusiastic manner in which they have
been received by the corporation of London.—
Yours, &c., " CONSTANT MERTENS,
Private Secretary to Colonel Gregoire.
" Crescens Robinson, Esq., Guildhall."

The letter was also ordered to be entered upon
;he journals.
