h More was done yesterday for the consolida-
1t ton Of our empire than the wisdom of our
n statesmen, the liberaity of our Legislature, or
e the loyalty Of our coonists could ever have eff

Atlantic is dried up, and we become in reality
r as well as in wish, one country. Nor can any

Z as follows; Their original paid-up capital
'e was 1850 900, and this has since been increased

= raised short time back, and Els, 900 in shares
having been created to be handed over in pay
ment for the exclusive privileges assigned to the
n company Immediately on the successful compile
II ton of the undertaking. Although theamount
- to participate in dividend is E456 900, the cap
ital actually received is G4Sl 900. Out of this
y the charge for the entire cable has been paid
1t together with all other expenses, and small
II cash balance is still in hand applicable to the
= current outlay. 1t is understood that the only
additional capital now intended to be raised is
y the small sum that will bring the total to $780,
100, and which is required for the stations, &c.
