While exchange hanks and credit iMMilfullous have been era blished to connect this country financially with almost every foreign market. and to give facilities for conveying to our shores every description of merchandise, it Is remarkable that as soon as the operation of importing is performed the monetary facilities are withdrawn. The bills drawn upon our merchants mature, and mon either be met by the merchant's capital unaided, or by Wee. Thus, when temporarily there is au emcees of any ere marry imported, Its price is unduly depressed, and serious loser are incurred. Ordinary bankers and dial-vent houses dislike making advances upon 'merchandise, having no oganisation foe examining the goods and correctly intimating their value. What they want are good bills. drawn on those who, knowing the value, have accepted for a LOT advance. Division of rhour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. To meet this want, which every merchant mast aclmewledm the Warrant Banking Company In formed. The banner of the Company will mainly coons' is making advances upon deposit of the stone arteles of peoluc , „ represented by dock errant' or other means of absolute assignment. duty inspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a proper margin to allow fur depreciation. Thar advances will be made in acceptances by the Company of the drafts el its anteaters, and as creep MU wdl represent merctouidise readily convertible, and be at the manic time se cr.d by the whole capital of a powerful Company, the exact position of which will be patent to all, there can be no doubt that the whole dreamt market will he available when it Is de sired by the holder to turn the bill Into cash. It will be readily apparent that the existence of witch an hint. tenon. while it will be of great service to merchants, and la crease the stability of the satire class, will be an equal conceal- , once to bankers and discount firms, furulahing them with a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the dne pay ment of the ConapanyM acceptances certain, the Directors under take that the entre pelting. capital of the Company will be in vested and, so far as practicable, remain invaded in Briar and East Indian Government seciirltiee, and upon deposit at call, and It is proposed that thil capital thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reseh the sum of at least £lOO,OOO. The field which eclat for such an undertaking will be at once apparent from a glance at the Board o f Trade returns of foreign Imports for the past year, which amounted not to speak of home produce; to over 1:200.009,000. If ee estimate the average reek of foreign rends held in warehouse as equal to three months comumptioo, It would represent an amount of ereno.ooo.

The Directors will not receive any retsuner►tiou until the shareholders hare been paid 0.5 per cent. by w ay of dividend on their palidup capital. After payment of 5 per cent., the Directors will receive one-fifth of the net profits. No promotion siimey will be I aid for originating this under taking. The preliminary exposits will be cottOuesi to the neces sary disbursements.

Yesterday morning the Cautabs started from Putney at half-past 11, and after paddling up to Mort,- lake, started down from the Ship at a very tine pace upon the ebb tide, which was, however, weak. They broke away very gallantly and regularly, the pace being at 37, 38, and 39 pulls per minute, takao without any irregularity or change in the style of work. At • quarter to twelve the crew of picked London watermen, who raced on the previous day against the Cantabs, were put into requieitiou to row tte Osooians, and they started away from the London boat house Rod wooded their way up the river to Barker. Bail, where they had to stop some time for the Ozonises, who did not leave Putney until some time after them. It was arranged that the gentlemen should take their spurts with the watennen down, and not continue the whole distance— taking the first tura from the Earl's down through Caro* reach to Chiswick Church, sod then to Ilammenmith sod Putney. The pace of the gentlemen at the start ass folly equal to that of the waterloo°, and the former came in two lengths ahead. Betting was 6 to 4 on Oxford, and we believe that in some instances more odds were given. Both crews are well and coolident. There will Dot be any severe exercise to-day—merely • little " paddling," also practising of starts. The tides have so varied thee, last two days that it is difficult to say at what time exactly the start will take place to-morrow, but those who with to be safe had better sot be later at Putney than llo'clock. ASYLUM FOR IDIOTS. As there is no other condition of frail humanity so utterly helpless as that of idiocy, no an asylum when the unfortunates who are addicted with it may be received, oared for, and subjected to curative process more or less effectual, is one that ought to command special support. No one who has visited the very interesting establishment at Earlswood can fail to have been struck with what may be done by a systematic course of medical treatment. Those who have not had the opportuuity of going over Earlswood Asylum, inspecting its admirable arrangements, studying its management, and observing the results in the gradatioes of mental improvement which the patients exhibit accord ing to the ioeger or shorter period that they base been under the care of the mediae' gentlemen, or the greater or lesser amount of latent intellect which ' those geetlessee have bed to draw forth and develop, will be surprised at the complete refutation which practical ex perience gives to the generally accepted notion that for idiocy there is no cure. The committee of the asylum wisely throw open the doors of the building to all comers : the public are not only permitted but urged to visit it, and judoe for themselves ; and • more interesting and instruc tive day can nowhere he spent, or one better calculated to awaken oar best sympathies, than at the handsome and admirably-planned building which attracts the eye of the railway traveller about a mile below the Reigate station, on the Brighton line. The camber of patients now domiciled in the institution is 363 of both eszes— partly elected oe the foundation as recipienta of charity, and partly by annual pay ment. Next month 30 more will be elected, bringing the number up to nearly 400. This, however, by no means re premets the amount of mental weakness or imbecility which exists in this metropolis, and seeks for some allevia tion within the walls of this or kindred institution, yet to 'be formed. There are at the present moment upwards of 200 applicants for admission at Earlswood which the resources of the establishment are unable to accommodate. There is also the drawback of • heavy debt, exceeding 9,000 f., in curred in the erection and furniture of the buildiug, which most be cleared off before any effort can be made to open wider the doors. One great object of the anniversary dinner, which was held yesterday at the London Tavern, under the presidency of Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., was to clear off this debt, and to free the charity from those pecuniary liabilities which at prevent fetter its exertions and limit ita usefulness. Of the 9,0001. the members of the committee and a few of their friends have con tributed 5.70(1. ; • friend has promised 500 guineas conditionally towards making up the deficiency ; and the result of the very eloquent appeal node last night by Mr. Buxton wen a further augmentation of the fund to the ex• tent of nearly 2.500 f. There was also • subscription of 1,1534 announced from Liverpool. A pleesibg feature in the benevolent conviviality of the occasion was the pre sence of ladies at the dinner table. The musical arrangements were under the government of Mr. Lawler, who was assisted by the Misses Emily Spiller and Julia Elton, and Means. Alontem Smith ad Svdoey Naylor. le fur ther peomotioe of the more immediate object of the committee, there is to be a bazaar or fancy fair held in July at the Hanover-square Rooms, make the patronage of the Queen, the Duchies of Cambridge, sad the rule of our female aristocracy. The trial of Walsh at the Waterford assizes was concluded on Wednesday. and resulted in a verdict of wilful murder. Sentence of death was passed, the prisoner, how ever, protesting his innocence.

This morning communications addressed to the Mayor at the Council Chamber contained upwards of 7001. forwarded by private Individuals for immediate distribution, and a large sem of money has been received at the different banks, the amount of which had not been made up at the time of despatching this parcel. Altogether tho subscrip tions already received amount to over :X/,000/., and then are applied by eleven committees composed of the mem bers of the council and the principal inhabitants. A district has been allotted to each committee, and the first proceeding has been to seek out a number of peewee who knew the neighbourhood well, sad was acquainted with the circumstances of its inhabitants. A large store of clothing has been sent to the Town-hall, and is given out as fast as the requisitions from the different committees come in. An immense mar of wearing apparel has been d i stributed in this manner. Measures have also been taken to prevent overcrowding is the dwellings of the poor, mid the mieseqnset spread of malaria. Naturally enough those who escaped sought for immediate shelter in the houses of their neighbours, who ware in many cases equally poor with themselves. That refuge was cheerfully accorded them, and in no cue that I have beard was " the bit and the sup" denied. This, however, occasioned great over crowding in many cottages which were partly submerged. Nese tbs : relief committees have been appointed many families sad Individuals have bees removed to the high', part of the town. A portion of the public subsaip thins has been devoted to the cost of clearing away the enormous quantity of mud washed into the cellars. Care bas bees taken to employ as far as was possible in this labour those who were them selves sufferers, and from the loss of their tools and the de struction of the milli had been thrown completely out of employment. Last night the Mayor of Sheffield addressed a circular letter to the mayors of corporate towns in other parts of the kingdom, asking their co-operation in raising money for the relief of the sufferer'. The information which reached here a day or two ago that the Prince of Wales would head the subscription created the live liest feelings of gratitude. Already public meet ings are announced to be held in Manchester, Bir mingham, Leeds, Hull, Rotherham, and the adjacent towns ; and the manner in which the call for help has been re sponded to affords another noble example of the ioeshaus tibia bounty of Englishmen towards their countrymen in disuses. The various committees are doing their work not the lees effectively became° they ars doing it silently and without bustle and parade, but many months must elapse before the deluged district will present the scene of busy and cheerful labour that it did before the inundation. Great iodignetion has been manifested in Sheffield at the statement made in a Loudon peony paper, that the work men of Sheffield were a coarse, drunken, and brutal set of men, and also ►t the exaggerated charge made against the people of plundering. FRENCH AID FOR THE SCFFLEERE.—Tha follow ing letter appears is yesterday's Galignani, together with an intimation that the proprietors of that paper will be happy. in accordance with the suggestion of the writer, to transmit to the proper quarter any subscriptioes that may be for warded to them :—" Our hearts are all moved by the recital of the dreadful calamity that has just desolated a fair, populous, and thriving district of our dear England. As suredly the first emotion of every English heart will be a wish to do what may be done to succour those who have thus suddenly bees reduced from comfort and prosperity to dearest and poverty. With each a desire, and remembering that too dal qu i cito dot, let us who reside in this city make no delay, but by a ready, active, and practical sympathy t es tify that • the English in Paris feel a deep and lively interest in the sor rows as in the joys of their native land. I feel sure that you will be rawly to receive subscriptions, and to transmit them to suitable lands in England. I would suggest, be- Odes, that appeals be made from the pulpit by the English clergymen and ministers in Paris ; and as there may be many to whom, whilst willing to do their share, neither of these ways of giving may be convesieut, I would propose also a personal canvass by a few friends having a little leisure for it, who should be furnished with andeetials at recognised authority.—Evocagua March 15." COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL. A meeting of the Court of Common Council was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall ; the Loup MAT on, presided. TU! SHMIYIMLD CALAMITY. .. Mr. R. N. Pitiful"; in alluding to this sad catastrophe, said be would not expatiate upon the sad details of that melancholy occurreace, as each day brought from the neigh bourhood fresh details of the desolation and distress, and the accounts as they appeared, instead of showing that the Bret description was over•painted, continued to furnish fresh instances for public benevolence. He had been in communication with the mayor and town clerk of Sheffield, and it appeared that not ro i ly had numbers of people loot sheets their s t u tlie de good . through the diffe tating power as to reduce the inhabitant, to the direst die trees, not only rendering destitute the artisans, but others who resided there, sad who gave them their employment. A public meeting had been held at Sheffield, end it was stated that 250 persons wore known to have perished, and the coodition of the surviving sufferers was such as misreport could sfford an idea of. He was sure he should have the unanimous approval of the court when he said it was a ease which celled for public bealivolenoe, and one in which the corporation of London should stretch out a helping hand. He should move "That this court do contribute the sum of 400 guises. in aid of the sufferm by the recast in undstion in the neighbourhood of Sheffield." Oneof the members from behind called out, " Make it 500/.,' upon which there was a strops manifestation in favour of the larger amount, sod Mr. PHILLIPS said be bad named the sum be bad men. tioned in the motion, feeling sure that be would meet with no opposition to that amount, and be desired to have a unanimous feeling on the matter ; but if the court thought tt to suspend the standing older he should most certainly support the larger sum. A show of hands was taken in favour of the suspension of the standing order, and the motion, which was seconded by Mr. CHAPLAIN, with the substitution of 5001. for 400 guises., was unanimously agreed to. TR PROJECT= CITY RAILWAYS.
