TOURS AND NANTES RAILWAY.
MACKENZIE, PATERSON, AND CO.
REPORT TO THE iiIIA.REHOLDERS.
Your Directors hive the satisfaction to announce the amalgama-
tion of eight principal Companies is competition for the lease of this
Railway.
Among these competitors, your Company occupied a proud posi-
tion. They not only presented a subscription list of the very first
class, and comprising mach that was calculated to inspire public
confidence, but a deposit fund, amounting to 6,425,000 f., or more
than double the caution-money required by the French Government.
It is gratifying to your Directors that, by common consent, even
amongst their competitors, the first place was conceded to your Com-
pany.
In the actual state of the money market, and in the present de-
pressed situation of railway property in general, your Directors
deemed it prudent to prefer rather a fraction of a concession, obtained
upon the very best t-mils, than to run the risk of a probably reckless
competition, that could not fail to be ruinous to the Company who
should* obtain it.
To arrive at a resnit so much to be desired, and to include in this
arrangement all the bona fide competing Companies, your Directors
made many successive sacrifices. They have succeeded is retaining
one-fifth of the stock, and seven Directors (four French and three
English) in the consolidated Company, viz. -

gcries Gene-tales of France ; Monternault, ancien magistrat ;
William
Maskenale and J. D. Bar ry, Resident Directors in Paris ; and Richard
Paterson as a member of the Board in London. The other members
of the London Board are Mr. John Anderson, Kr. Bagshaw, and

Captain Chamfer, R.N.
The competition of the "Postmasters' Company" did not in the
least alter the determination of your Directors as to their bidding.
They had made up their minds, whatever might be the number of
competitors, not to accept the lease of this railway unless for a term
that could not fail to be highly remunerative to the Shareholders
(considered only with respect to the actual traffic), in addition to the
mathematical certainty of the repayment of the capital in the term
of the lease, by the operation of a moderate sinking fund.
The result of the adjudication is, a lease to the consolidated Com-
pany for a term of 34 years and le days, to be computed from the
period of the opening of the line to the public, throughout its entire
length from Tours to Nantes. The maximum term fixed by the law
relating to this railway was 35 years.
As to the general conditions of the grant, it may suffice to say,
that they are precisely the same in every respect as those, of the Ns
leans and Bordeaux Railway, except that the eete of the Tours
and Nantes Railway the Company are tileutia to repay the Govern-
ment the actual cost of the land Tor the seat of the railway and its
accessories.
The Compaey Will thus have to support only about one-half of the
entire cost of an admirably constructed railway, stocked and appointed
in the most efficient manner. They will, conseqUentles llatt
obmy
one-half the capital on which to provi le a die-Mend, With the whole
net revenue of the line applicable to that piirpose.
After the distribution et' a aturn equal to eight per cent. per an-
num to the Shareholdeete the Government is entitled to one-half of
the surplus profits, but not until after the first five years of the open-
ing of the line throughout to Nantes, and net even then unless the
aggregate profits of the preceding years shall have been tett!l to all
per cent. on the capital actually expended-, plus a sinkiiik hind.
Your Directors would just obierete OW A sinking fund of one and
a half per cent., improved et foist per Cent. compound interest, (I. e.,
extinguishing a fettr eel tent. stock, by paying off a certain number
of Shares antandly), will liquidate the whole capital of the Company
in 33 years 46 days. There will then remain nearly one year of the
lettse unexpired, together with the value of the stock, materials, and
stores, to be repaid to the Company by the Government, or the MUIR
lessees of the railway, within three months after the deteennitatiOn of
the term of the lease.
The revenue of the last yeat of the term, together with the amount
of the valuation of the stock and stores of the Company, will amount
to several Millions of francs, which will be either distributed in the
Shape of a bonus to the ultimate Shareholders, or the annual einking
fund may be reduced to one and a quarter per Mt, on the capital
from the commencement, as the Directors may deteeminiSe
Considered in all its bearings, and More especially,ivith i'•skiect
ld
the strong presumption that the first lessees Of tile French railways
will be lessees in perpetuity, seta to A one of some sort on renewal
of the term, petit' Dliteteli are ed to believe that the grant of this
railway, ttpen the terms upon which it has been obtained, will be one
Of the best, if not the very best railway property in France.
The foregoing arrangements as to the distribution of the Waal
amongst the competing Companies will enable yours Directors to give
one share in the consolidated Company for every flee of the reduced
shares in this Company. Parties entitled to frietleas eliftree
render them available by joining several togetlear, and alViaffig
llit
whole shares afterwards, tier Which every peseible fltellity will be
given.
The right% of: the 61Meeholdera will be preserved intact, although
they may haVo omitted to exchange their old receipts for new once
in tithe for the late competition.
The adjudication pronounced in favour of this Company, hit 1110-
day, November 25th, was approved by Royal Ordinance, In the offi-
cial " efoniteur" of Friday, the 28th of the same month. Stich is the
favourable light in which this consolidated Company is viewed ti3i
the ('• ernment, that the Royal Ordinance approving the statutes
of tie 'orneany, usually a work of some mot-ells, has been already
obtained.
The Company is thus definitely and legally constituted a secrete
anonyme, by which tin liability of a shareholder is limtteil to the
number of shares of which he is the proprietor.
The first duty of your Directors Will be to return to the Share-
holders the excess of the deposits paid, after retaining 51. per share
on the consolidated shares, at the same time to give a voucher
for the number of shares to which each shareholder is entitled.
This duty will be entered upon as soon as the necessary forms can be
prepared and printed, on Friday, 12th of December.
The Certificates of Shares in the names of the Proprietors will be
issued as soon as they can be got ready. The statutes of this Com•
pany permit that the Shares may he transferred to bearer, when 101.
per Share shall have been paid up, after which no transfer will be
required.
The works of constntetion are in a .neat state of forwardness nearly
throughout the whole line, but more especially so on the first and
most important section, between Tours and Angers. No time will
be loot in taking the requisite measures for bringing this highly pro-
duceve section into early active operation in connexion with the
ifei of the Tlar,lelnx Ti9il,vgv Orlefina end Tours.

it. W. W. SINIPSON has the honour to an-
nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro-
prietor, and intends to offer for SALE by AUCTION, in the
ensuing spring, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast,

The GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, the Braid, and Kells
ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these
estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the
river Main and the Braid and Kells Waters. The Galgorm Estate
includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a
considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable im-
provements. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about
150 acres of superior land in hand. On the property, which
embraces a great volume of water power, there are many ex-
tensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupa-
tion of wealthy and respectable manufacturers, and several of the
tenantry are engaged in or connected with the various branches
of the linen trade ; the majority are Protestants, and In the
highly.favoured province of Ulster are remarkable for their in-
dustry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are
very valuable, and there are extensive tracts of pasturable and
easily reclaimed mountain lands abundantly stocked with game.
The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and
approaches within a quarter of a mile of this the largest inland
town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast; the
entire of the estates include a surface of about 50,000 acres. The
Belfast and Ballymena Railway, the works of which are contracted
for, passes through the property, as well as also two other railways
in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, In
due time be obtained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, bier-
rion.square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W.
Simpsou, 16, Bucklersbury.
Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the
above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his
pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times " newspaper
made the following review :
" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly re-

spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a
pamphlet entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with
Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.'"

The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this work, gives the
following character of its author:.—" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need
remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in mat.
tors relating to the improvement and value of land in his own coun-
try. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views,
and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of
practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very
few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the
social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a

matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He
feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any
_ .

. -
man in his time to improve her resources, by encouraging the in.
vestment of British capital in every department of Irish industry.
Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach
of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His tes-
timony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably un-
impeachable."
