right laws were the true methods of Irish pacifica
tion. Mr. Bright - and' Mr.,'Gladstone took part in
the debate'. The Cabinet had'a meeting in regard

some things in• the coursepursued by England,—
agreed with his colleagues that the demands made
in Mr. Surrinees " pay and apologize'? speech could
not be thought of. The daily papers take the same
position and use very strong language. The al
leged despatch of - the British , minister in China,

nerd. The Life Peerage Bill'l44plisied-tO a se=

has been adcipted,without any amendment. :Among
the last rejected, were those to establish the Roman

1000 MILES
UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
ARE NOW COMPLETED.
A 8 MO miles of the western portion of the line, beginning at 9
cramento, are also dote, but
267 MILES REMAIN
To be Finished, to Open the Grand
Through Line to the Pacific. This
Opening will certainly take place early
this season.
Besides a donation from the Government of 12,800 acres of laud
per mile, the Company Is entitled to subsidy in U. s Bonds on its
rne as completed and accepted, at the average rate of about
p 26,500 per Mile; according te the di Mout ties t encountered, for which
the GovEnninent take a second lien as security. Whether sub.
sidles are given to any other companies or not, the Government
will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Nearly the whole amount of. bonds to which the Comr
patty will be entitled have already been delivered.
First Mo3Agage Bonds
AT PAR.
By its charter the Company is permitted to issue its own FIRST
MORTGAGE BONDS to the same amount as the Government Bonds,
and no ?hare. These Bands are a First Mortgage upon the whole
road and alt its equipments.
THEY HATRTHIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT,
and both ,
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
PAYABLE IN GOLD.
Such securities ate generally valuable in proportion to the I.n gth
of time they hays to run. .The longest air per cent gold interest
bonds of the Z., (the 'Bl's) will be due in 12 years, and they are
worth 112. If they had.3o years to run, they would stand at not
less than 125. A perfectlyaafe First Mortgage Bond like the Union
Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European in
vestment ia already considerable, and on the completion of the
work will doubtless carry the price to a large premium.
SECURITY OF THE BONDS
It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of 826,500
per mile upon what for a long time must be the only railroad om
uecting the Atlantic and pacific States is PERFECTLY MOHR. The
entire amount of the mortgage will be about - $30,000,000, and the
interest $1,800,000:per annum In gold. 'The present currency cost
of this Interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum, while the gross
earnings for the yeak 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on AN
AVERAGE OP LESS . THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERA
TION, WERE MORE THAN
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS,
The details of which are as:folio:ma :
From Passengers—. ..........
" Freight— .
" Express
" Mails—

" Contractors' men
nusterial...
This large amount Is only an indication of the immense traffic
that must go over the through line In a few months, when the
great tide of Pacific coast travel and trails will begin. It is esti
mated that this business must make the earnings of the road from
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY' MILLIONS A YEAR.
AB the supply of these Bonds win soon cease, Torties who desire
to invest in them will And it for theirinterestto dose at once. The
price for the present is par and accrued interest from Jan. I, in
currency.
A NEW PAMPHLET AND MAP was leaned Oct. Ist, containing
a report of the progress of the work to that date, and a more
complete statement in relation to the value of the Bonds than can
be given in an advertisement; which will be sent free on applica.
tion at the Company's
,officee or to any of the Advertised'ageitts.
