Offices of the Company - 44, Moorgate-street City, E.C.

This Company is established with a view to afford the pub-
lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers,
specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and
the ports,of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, sec.
A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered
into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan-
tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera-
tion of the authorities of the Dutch Rhenish Railway Com-
pany, and the other inland navigatio" and railway establish-
ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced
sf the adiantages to be derived from this line of communica-
tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the
speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods that
they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to
the fullest possible extent.
The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway,
and its port is the most convenient for direct communication
between London and all the great seaports in Holland and
Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the
cintinent of Europe.
Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich,
Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a
saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles;
the line front Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com-
pletion without a break.
The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of
access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages
which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of
The Humber.
By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and
delays of the intricate navigation of the Swill and the mouth
of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time
is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10
to ll hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the
northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by
Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as
Per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the
direct route of postal communication. •

- A deputation has been in Holland, and submitted theviews
of this Company to the Postmaster-General, the Minister of
Finance, and the Minister 9f the Interior, who have promised
their cordial co-operation in support of the undertaking.

It is intended, in the first instance, to confine the opera-
tions of this Company to the direct communication from
London, via Harwich, to Rotterdam.
This Company will have swift and commodious packets,
and its management will be carried out with the utmost care,
go as to secure expedition, safety, and comfort, and the di-
rectors submit that the traffic cannot fail to realise a hand-
aome dividend to the shareholders.
The capital will be divided into I'VOO shares of 104 each,
on which 2/. per share is to be paid on allotment. Five shil-
lings per share is to be paid to the bankers of the Company,
and their receipt must accompany the letter of application

proportionate part of the deposit will be immediately re-
turned. No call will exceed 21. per share, and will not be at
0 less interval than three months.

This Company is forme.l for the purpose of supplying a
source whence the occupiers of land can at all times obtain a
supply of those articles perfectly pure and unadulterated, of
which the requirements of modern improvement are con-
stantly increasing the demand ; and also for the purpose of
establishing a commodious depot, where agricultural imple-
ments of every description, by all the best makers, can at all
times be inspected and purchased.
The Company will import and supply at fair and reasonable
prices genuine manures of all kinds, seeds, oileake, and all
other articles used in the feeding of live stock, and for agri-
cultural purposes generally.
The Directors have been appointed sole consignees for the
sale of the Javel guano, both in the United Kingdom Red the
Colonies. This right has been secured by contract, for a
term of 21 years, with the Javel Manure Company in France.
The qualities of this manure are such as to have raised the de-
mand in France to so great a magnitude as to afford reason-
able expectation of its general adoption in this country,
where, in every instance in which it has been tried, it has
given unqualified satisfaction.
This manure, manufactured by a patent process, from the
contents of the cesspools and blood of the slaughter-houses
(abbatoirs) of Paris, cembines within itself all the good quali-
ties of every description of manure, and will be supplied at
about one half the cost of Peruvian guano (which it fully
equals), with a guarantee that each parcel contains a certain
amount of fertilising ingredients.
There can be no doubt of the remunerative result of the
operations of this Company, every branch thereof affording
sources of large prdfits. The only establishment of a like
nature in the United Kingdom, the Aberdeen Commercial
Company, conducted on similar principles, has stood the test
of many years as to its usefulness, and yielded large returns
to its shareholders for their investwents, the 201. shares be-
ing now worth 1201.
Applications for Shares may be made at the offices of the
Company, or to the broker or solicitors ; from whom full
prospectuses, testimonials, andany other information can be
obtained.
All applications for Shares must be accompanied by a pay-
ment of ss. per share to the bankers, broker, solicitors, or at
the offices of the Company. In the event f less than the
whole number applied for being allotted, the amount paid
in excess will be appropriated towards the remaining pay-
ment of 158, per share ; if no allotment be made, the amount
paid will be immediately returned in full:

SPORTING NOTES.

THE DERBY HORSES.

Having dismissed the favourites in my two preceding
communications, only the outsiders now demand con-
sidsraticn.

Lady Hawthorne made her first appearance at York
with a high reputation, wbich she fully sustained.
She there defeated Blink Bonny and Augury, but the
betting indicates. that her achievement was not deemed
a trustworthy test of the Comparative merit of her and
the pre-sent reigning Derby favourite. Lady Hawthorne
is a fine, strapping mare, with good action and much
speed. A question, however, as to the possibility of
her standing training has been started, and perhaps not
withoutjust cause. Herforelep seemed to be anything but
satisfactory ; she may, nevertheless, have grown out of
any weakness which then prevailed. Should she keep
firm, and be sent to the post in good condition, she will
prove a dangerous antagonist to Blink Bonny. By the
way, the favourite has within the last few days been
somewhat unsteady in the market., and some persons
assert, from recent observation, that she has neither
grown nor thickened since last autumn.

Anton will doubtless be a starter. Ha is alight flashy
horse, and his performances are not sufficiently promising
to induce me to entertain any expectations of his chance.

Sprig of Shillelagh was once loudly talked about, and
it was stated with confidence that be Would one day
"do a good thing." When, I am incapable of deter-
mining ; of this, however, I feel certain, the good thing
which be will do will not be on the Derby day,
Glentnasson has fine looks and the prestige of two
successes to recommend him. His achievements were
certainly not of a very high order of excellence, still
they were sufficient to show that he possessed much
racing merit, which time would in all probability fully
develope. His trainer is very " fond" of him, and his
partiality is shared to a great extent by the horse's
backers. Sam Rogers has, it is•sta~ed, already received
a retaining fee to ride Glenmasson for the Derby.
Ackworth is a dark horse, in William Day's stables.
Report speaks most favourably of the horse's appearance
and style of going. Kent is another "darkie;" and in
well-informed quarters it is believed that he will one day
occupy a very prominent position in the betting.
Henry VIII. won a Selling Race at the Bibury Club
Meeting, and has not since shown in public. He has
been backed by his noble owner, but unless there be
more in the hcrse than has yet met the eye, I shall not
indulge in a Derby-day dream of his success.

A return has been forwarded to the War Departettr ;-',-, '
from the commanding officers of corps at Chathami,

years' service in the present year, and also in next.
Similar returns have also been prepared of the number .
of non-commissioned officers and men who will have
completed 21 years' service in the same years.
It is the intention of the authorities to discharge thc se
men belonging to the corps of Royal Engineers at Chat-
ham who are of bad character, and with this view a return •
has been ordered of the names of all those men belongirg
to that corps whose character is of such a description, in
order that they may receive their discharge forthwith. •
The Government ha virg decided on the erection of a
large prison at Norfolk Island for the reception of con-
victs under sentence of transportation, an order has been
forwarded from the War-office to Col. H. Sandham, di-
rector of the Royal Engineers establishment, at Bromp-
ton Barracks, Chatham, directing him to bold in readi-
ness one compasy of that corps, with a proportion of
officers and non-commissioned officers, to embark forth-
with for Norfolk Island, for the purpose of assisting in
the erection of the convict establishment at that station.
A. course of lectures has been arranged to be delivered
to the troops at Chatham garrison during the remaining
winter season by several officers and gentlemen of the
neighbourhood. The first lecture of the course was deli-
vered on Friday evening last, and the experiment of pro-
viding this kind of entertainment for the soldiers of the
garrison was attended with complete success, the lecture
being well attended not only by the troops, but also by
many of the officer-. The subject of the next lecture is,
" Great Battles and Great Victories." which will be
delivered on Friday evening next by the Rev. J. Davis, •
of Rochester, to be followed by one on the bteam.engme
by Lieut. alker, R.E.
The Industry steam store-ship arrived at Portsmouth
on Sunday from the Thames, with machinery for the

The Buffalo steam-vessel arrived at Spithead on Sun-
day from the westward, and sailed in the evening for

Adamas is a little game horse, but not " class enough"
for a Derby. The other outsiders do not require notice.

On a careful review of the performances of the different
animals, I hate arrived at the conviction that the most
trustworthy Derby horses at present are—THE BEST o
Mr. HOWARD'S (perhaps Goldfinch), Tournament,
Saunterer, Gienmasson, and Sydney.
The ardour of the Mincepie supporters for the Chester
Cup seems to have cooled down. Leamington still hold,
his ground. I may take some credit to myself on the
correctness of my judgment, for those horses which I
indicated in my notes of Tuesday lat as being well in
occupy the foremost place in the betting. My opinions,
in fact, have been endorsed by the public.
The police were "down upon" the West-end betting
offices last week, and their interference has spread quite
a panic among the proprietors Of those houses. To
attempt to stein the current of sp.'culation which will
soo❑ set in in all directions will be as vain as good Mrs.
Partington's efforts to stop an inundation of the sea
with a mop. A certain portion of the public wit/ specu-
late upon horse racing, and will adopt many expedients
to carry out their purpose in full security.
Jan. 26. A FRESH MAN.

A very unpleasant occurrence took place yesterday at
Portsmouth. A man who has only been 195 days in the
Royal Marine Artillery Corps, had been confined several
times for bad conduct, incurred a debt of Bs. for slops be
had "taken up"; this sum the captain of his company said
should be put against his account on the books of the
corps, whereupon the man used an insulting expression,
and said he would do no more soldiering until he was
paid ; this led to a court-martial last Friday, which
adjuged him to receive 50 lashes yesterday. On his
being taken towards the place of punishment under
escort he broke away from his guards and rushed upon
Colonel Parke (the commandant of the corps) as he was
stooping to pick up a paper he had dropped, and gave him
a tremendous blow in the face, knocking him to the
ground and cutting him in the face very severely. The
man was speedily overpowered and led to the halberds,
where the 50 lashes were inflicted. He will now be tried
for striking the Colonel, which will be rather a wore
serious affair than the flogging.
The paddle-wheel steam-vessel Sprightly, tender to
the Victory, in charge of Master-Commander Allen,
arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth on Saturday,
bringing a number of supernumerary seamen, who were
yesterday morning distributed on board the gun-boats
Hunter, Handy, Garnet, and Fenella for conveyance
to Portsmouth. The Hunter is commanded by Second-
Master Sallenger, the Handy by Second-Master Witts,
the Garnet by Second-Master Follett, and the Fenella
by Second-Master Moore. They are manned wi,ch a
crew of 28 men each.

The Dee, steam store-ship, Master-Commander J.
Pullen, left, the harbour this morning for Portsmouth
with a full cargo cf boilers and machinery for vessels
fitting .out at that port. She has on board three boilers,
each of the immense weight of 28 tons, for the Algiers.
The gun-boats Hunter, Handy, Fenella, and Garnet,
having been fully prepared for sea, steamed down leas
river this day for Greenhithe, and will be conveyed to
Portsmouth by the Dee to be laid up in ordinary. 4
The iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel Princess Alice
(tender to the St. Jean d'Acre) left Woolwich yesterday
morning in charge of Captain Smithett and a crew of
the Royal Mai:-packet Company's servicemen for Dover,
having been gratuitously placed at the disposal of the
company for service between Dover and Calais.

The Dreadnought, hospital-ship for seamen of all
nations, having been completely prepared for removal,
was towed out of the harbour at 12 o'clock this day by
the steam-vessels Monkey, Widgeon, and a private
steam-tug, and conveyed to Greenwich, where she was
safely moored in the river, alongside the old Dread-
nought, which is unfit for further service. The arrange-
ments far the removal of the huge vessel were carried
out in an excellent manner by Mr. Macdonald, master-at-
arms, and Mr. Peake, assistant master shipwright in the
establishment, and she was piloted up the river by Mr.
Stewart. The patients from the old Dreadnought will
be removed to the new vessel in a few days, and now
that the two vessels are in close proximity to each other,
the superiority of the new hospital is strikingly apparent.
Some time since it was determined to present a life-
boat to the Chilian Government, as an acknowledgment
of services rendered to the crew of a British vessel in dis-
tress. Mr. Peake assistant master shipwright at this
establishment, prepared a plan for the construction of a
We-boat on a very improved principle, and this vessel
having been completed, arrived here this afternoon from
the premises of the contractors. She will be subjected to
rials, mid, if approved, forwarded to her destination.

A number of Russian and other guns, loaded for action
in the Crimea, and brought home in that state, have been
ordered to be dischar,4e 1. These guns, amounting to
ibout 300, and varying in calibre, are being fired at the
proof butt in Woolwich Ai senal, averaging from 10 to

A. new kind of pumping and fire engine, made under
the direction of tiles-rs. Rennie and Son, having been
ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty for the use of the
dockyard, Woolwich, was yesterday subjected to a first
trial under the inspection of Mr. Atherton, superintend-
ing engineer of the yard, assisted by Mr. Tapiing and
,ether tnernhers of the department. The principal object
for which the new engine is about to be purchased is for
draining the cai,,ous at the mouth of the basins, as well
to use in case of fire. The peculiarity of the engine is its
very small dimension. The system is that of the disc,
and the engine drives a pump at the average rate of
about 300 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the
engine itself is only 13 in ; its height, together with the
framework and carriage, is Ott., and 61t. in length, the
whole of which, together with the boiler, weighs only
i,wo tons. The pump wrs driven at the rate of from 300
to 400 strokes per minute, and answered the expectations
formed as to its capability admirably. The facility of
transporting the engine while under the action of per-
forming its ordinary revolutions renders it available in
i.ny spot required without stopping the machinery. It
was estimated that the column of water Projected during
the trial to the height of from 120 to 13 feet was at the
rate of 30 tons per hour. The power of Vie engine has
been tested with a friction break, and proved to be that
of about six horses.
