The chairman, Mr Hackblock, remarked that the chief feature was that the profit earned was made week by week by sound, legitimate, and every-day business, and not by adventitious and extraordinary circumstances, and there was every reason to expect its continuance. The new issue of shares (20,000) will be distributed pro rata amongst the existing shareholders at 41. premium per share.

This undertaking possesses a very respectable direction, including three directors of the St. Just United Mines. The setts to be worked are known as the Ting Tang, the West Ting Tang, South Ting Tang, and Wheal Moyle, and are situated in the centre of a group of the most productive copper mines in Cornwall. The eastern boundary is the celebrated Clifford Amalgamated Mine. A vast amount of mineral wealth has been derived from the district. The present property is known to contain many productive lodes, and it is anticipated that important discoveries will soon be made. The mine possesses the advantage of economical transport, as a railway passes through it. It is also pointed out that "the late proprietors left the works in good condition, with the surface buildings in their proper places; this will be a saving of many thousands of pounds and much valuable time to the company." The purchase money is to be 10,000l., half in cash and half in shares-a twenty-one years' lease, the work already done, the engine and other machinery upon the mine, the plant-houses, materials, &c., being included in the agreement. The capital is 30,000l., in 6,000 shares of 51. each, a large number of which have already been applied for.

This project has been organised under respectable provincial auspices, for the purchase and working of certain patented processes for improve ments in the manufacture of steel and iron, as invented by Mr Robert Mushet, of Coleford, Gloucestershire. The works now in extensive operation at that place have likewise been purchased by the company. It is affirmed that Mr Mushet's processes, "especially when in combination with the Bessemer process, will produce, from materials which will cost about 61. per ton, steel in no way inferior to that produced from the best Swedish iron." It is a favourable feature that for the letters patent, the goodwill of the business, &c., Messrs Beef 3 8 to 5 2 Beasts Mushet and Co. have agreed to accept paid-up shares; which they Muttn 4 0 to 6 4 Sheep have agreed shall not be entitled to any dividend except when the other shares receive dividends at the rate of 67. per cent. per annum.

HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, Feb. 4.-This afternoon the Imperial Parliament was opened by Royal Commission. The ceremony was a very simple one. A few ladies assembled in the House of Lords, and occupied the back seats usually taken by the peers. In the galleries there were also a few ladies. As soon as the Royal Commissioners entered, the Lord Chancellor directed the Usher of the Black Rod to summon the House of Commons, and in a few moments afterwards the Speaker, in his State robes, and accompanied by a few members of the House of Commons, appeared at the bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR then rose, and read, in the following terms, THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE. MY LORDS ANd Gentlemen, HOUSE OF COMMONS. knew how to "aggravate his voice, like any sucking dove!"

Pointing out was devoted to demonstrating the defects of the Armstrong the importance of determining what ought to be the proper amount system, the subject being illustrated by numerous and elaborate of windage in guns, he next went into the question of the best drawings, models, and tabular statements. In unequivocal material for their construction, expressing an opinion of the superiority terms he stated his opinion that the Armstrong gun and of cast-iron over wrought, on account of the greater hardness of projectile were both failures, and that they having been officially the former, but stating that Bessemer steel ought to be adopted. retained, the country had been prevented from having guns and That metal, which would bear a strain of forty-five tons to the square projectiles on a right principle, and put to an useless expenditure of inch, had been recommended for adoption by Colonel Wilmot, when two and a half millions. Most practical artillerists now, he said, he was superseded by Sir William Armstrong. If that recommen. were of opinion that the Armstrong multigroove system had failed. dation had been adopted, the country would have been spared the That had been conclusively shown by the performance of those guns two and a half millions spent in the production of the costly and at iron plates at short distances. The shunt system was a little, and inefficient Armstrong gun." not much better, and even in the opinion of those who admired genius, was not what was required for a naval gun. That being so, it was important to raise a discussion on the question, with a view to determine on a better description of gun and projectile. This was the more necessary, as the violation of the principles of gunnery and mechanics in the Armstrong system could not fail rapidly to destroy guns so constructed. Naval guns required to be used at distances uncertain in amount, but generally much within 2,000 yards. They required weight and strength to enable a high velocity to be imparted to the shot, and should be rifled so that a spherical shot could be used, as well as an elongated projectile, without injury to the grooves. If a correct mode of procedure were adopted, these necessary conditions were easy of attainment. The more slowly motion was first communicated to a projectile, and the less obstruction it met with afterwards, the less would be the tension upon the If, therefore, matters could be so arranged as to burn a little powder at first, a little more afterwards, and so on, so that the greatest amount of gas should be generated when the projectile was in motion, the greatest amount of force would be applied to its propulsion, and the lowest tension would be brought upon the gun. That principle had been most approximated to in the old smooth-bore gun. Referring to a table of the initial velocities of different guns, with their weight of projectile and powder-charge, he proceeded to demonstrate from the low initial velocity of the Armstrong, as compared with others, that in that gun the projectile did not move until the whole charge was exploded, and then proceeded to show the enormous tensile strain which was thus caused, and described the injuries which resulted to Armstrong guns from this cause. It had been found from experiment that to force an Armstrong projectile slowly through the bore required a force of forty tone. He calculated that the tension on these guns was eighteen tons to the square inch. The lead-coated projectile being made larger than the bore, and retained so long exposed to the heat of the ignited charge, the lead was melted. This fouled the grooves, and destroyed the accuracy of the fire. The melting of the lead was much facilitated by the lubricator, which the construction of the gun required. He condemned the squeeze given at the muzzle, both in the multigroove and shunt gun, and gun. Obituary. THE DUCHESS OF PARMA died at Venice on the 1st inst. Louise NEW Manager, Mr B. WEBSTER.

Sleigh, 13 Little THE DEATHS IN London Last WEEK were 1,749; in the previous week the number was 2,180. The average corrected for increase of population is 1,529. It appears, therefore, that the mortality of last week, although much less than any the returns have yielded since the cold weather set in, was more by 220 than it would have been if the average rate had prevailed. Of the deaths registered last week from diseases of the organs of respiration 339 occurred from bronchitis, which in its slighter form is commonly designated as a "cold on the chest," and arises in the majority of cases from exposure to a low temperature. Pneumonia carried off 134 persons, asthma 38, laryngitis eight. Phthisis, or consumption, was fatal in 170 cases. In the epidemic class of diseases 12 deaths are ascribed to smallpox, 23 to measles, 53 to scarlatina, 11 to diphtheria, 82 to whooping-cough, 63 to typhus, 14 to croup, and 20 to diarrhoea. 744 persons died under twenty years of age, 484 were twenty and under sixty years, and 486 were sixty years and upwards. The deaths of 15 nonagenarians are recorded, the oldest of whom was a chimney-sweeper, who had attained the age of ninety-nine years and eleven months. BIRTHS.

The public advantages resulting from the line may be estimated from the fact that a reduction of 2s, per ton in the price of coal in London involves a saving of half a million annually; that the saving in the tonnage of goods will be at least equal in amount; that the whole of the Eastern Counties of England will be put in direct and unbroken communication with the northern coalfields and manufacturing districts; that those manufacturing districts will have opened to them a new and unbroken route to the continent, and that the main towns of the great county of Lincoln will be placed upon a through route, its vast agricultural produce carried direct to the northern and southern markets at a reduced cost, and its passenger intercourse relieved of the present delays and embarrassments.

(Limited), No. 7 Lothbury, E.C., and 178 Great George street, Westminster, ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. In presenting this prospectus to the public, the General Credit and Finance Company of London beg to state that: The Great Eastern Northern Junction Railway Company is formed for the purpose of connecting London with the northern coalfields, and connecting the Eastern Counties and London with the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire by a trunk line of practically level gradients for the cheaper transit of goods and minerals, and to give to the central parts of Lincolnshire railway accommodation, placing Bourne, Sleaford, Lincoln. and Gainsborough and the intervening towns upon a trunk line of railway. The country extending from the east side of London, through Cambridge, Peterborough, Lincoln, and Gainsborough to Doncaster, is one peculiarly adapted for attaining easy gradients: and the existing Great Eastern main line to Cambridge towards St Ives, if continued by that route, would open to the northern coalfields of South Yorkshire, the West Riding, and Durham, a highly improved means of transit for coal, while it would also give, by its connexion with the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, through the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, at Lincoln, and with the manufacturing districts of the West Riding, by its connexion with the West Riding and Grimsby Railway leading to Wakefield, a cheaper transit for goods. and a more direct access to the Victoria (London) Docks, and other places of transhipment, for exports and imports through the port of London than is now furnished by the existing railways. The Great Eastern Company have established a line of packets to the Continent, starting from Harwich to Rotterdam daily, and by means of this service passengers and goods from the West Riding and from Lancashire may reach Rotterdam within the twenty-four hours. The present Company is formed to make a trunk line in extension of the Great Eastern main line through Cambridze, from Stanton, near St Ives, and proposes to pass through Ramsey, Peterborough, Deeping, Bourne, Folkingham, Sleaford, Lincoln, and Gainsborough, to Doncaster and Askern, communicating at Peterborough, through the Great Eastern station, with the London and North Western, the Midland and Great Northern Railways, forming junctions at Lincoln with the Great Northern, the Midland, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, and at Gainsborough with the two latter companies, and forming junctions near Doncaster and Askern with the West Riding and Grimsby Railway, through which it will reach Wakefield, with the South Yorkshire, gaining access to the Great South Yorkshire coal field, with the Great Northern at the Doncaster station, with the Lancashire and Yorkshire at Askern, and with the North Eastern for Hull, through the South Yorkshire Railway at Thorne. The line runs almost wholly through a level country, where the gradients will be quite flat; and in the small portion where it encounters higher grounds the gradient will be kept within 1 to 400, so as to be practically level, and attain the object above alluded to of carrying, compared with other railways, double the present load of goods and minerals with the same tractive power. The Company has made arrangements for the interchange of traffic to and from the West Riding of Yorkshire with the West Riding and Grimsby Railway Company. The length of the line from Stanton, near St Ives, to Askern will be 108 miles. The several branches and connexions with existing lines on the route, and at the Northern termini, will require the construction of 21 further miles. The Company has made arrangements with the Great Eastern Railway Company, under which the Great Eastern agree to find half the capital, and to work and maintain and pay all revenue expenses of the line, when made, upon receiving 45 per cent, for working expenses. The Great Eastern also agree to pay to a common fund 55 per cent. of the gress traffic of the new line, and the same proportion of the gross amount earned upon the Great Eastern trunk line, between Stanton and London, from any traffic passing to or from the new railway. Out of this fund the capital of the new Company is to receive a minimum dividend of 5 per cent., without any limit as to maximum; but, subject to the payment of 5 per cent, the earnings upon both new and old lines are to be divided upon a mileage. The total cost of the new line between St Ives and Askern, with the connecting branches, will be 1,500,000. The effect of these arrangements with the Great Eastern will be that a traffic of 161. per mile per week will furnish an amount equal to the payment of the minimum dividend of 5 per cent.; a mileage receipt so small as to be absolutely certain. Thus, practically, the shareholders are guaranteed a minimum dividend of 54. per cent. without any limit as to the maximum. The actual earnings upon the new line may be well calculated from the fact that the Great Northern system, comprising 351 miles, of which only one-half is trunk line, furnishes from all sources a weekly average of upwards of £90, and the Great Eastern system of 663 miles, of which less than one-third is trunk line, furnishes upwards of £43 per mile per week, and that no one of the trunk lines of the kingdom running from the metropolis is, apart from the collateral and branch lines, earning less than £100 per mile per week. If the proposed trunk line only earned one-half of the present average earnings of the whole Great Northern system, viz., £45 per mile per week, it would pay a dividend of above 11 per cent, upon its capital, leaving a net profit to the Great Eastern of more than £84,000 a year from new traffic passing over their existing line from Stanton Junction to London. The annexed tables show the rapid increase of the dividends of the proposed Company, and of the profit to the Great Eastern Railway Company, on the expansion of the traffic, under the arrangement with that Company. after deducting expenses (not exceeding 5s. per share), in the event of the failure of the bill.
