TO Ties EDIT= 07 TIII K1P11287. Sir,—From the several good fields out on the second day of the Reading meeting it might have been in ferred by absentees that St. Swithin had dons something for the dried-up turf, and that softer times were in store for the poor thorough-bred; but his saintahip only tanta lised those so anxiously looking forward all day to a fall, the few drops vouchsafed being scarcely enough to en danger the most fragile of bonnets, and I am afraid a more than average dulness will pervade the closing business of the week. There will be but a small master of quad rupeds at Aintree, at any rate, for the Liverpool Summer Meeting, which, instead of being in the heart of a large train ing district like Reading, is comparatively isolated, whereby Mr. Topham, while struggling to keep the once famous Liverpool Cup among the great handicaps of the year, is compelled to let his gathering give way to modern insti ; tutions, or submit to utter failure. He is content to " climb" with the second day at Stamford, and have Saturday to himself for a grand day, an experiment that may prove remunerative, for he is certain to bo patronised by a host of half-holiday makers and north-country talent paying court to the ('up, whatever may betel him on Friday. One of the features of the opening day, the Great Lancashire Pro duce Stakes, appears spoiled already, as Badsworth is Did likely to put in an appearance, whilst the 8 lbs. allowed Agrippa need only show to scare away anything like strong opposition. The Croxteth Flying Handicap will suit Betty and Evelina; the Scurry Welter, Adamiuithea ; the Stanley Nursery, Retort; the Holyneux Cup, The Sawyer and Mercury ; and the Queen's Plate, Mandrake ; but until these are decided it would not be fair to touch upon Saturday's minor items, all I can urge being that Perfume can about win the Badminton, Lymington the St. Leger (in the absence of Micas), the Czar or Minster Bell the Welter Cup, Alicia or Evolina the Sefton, and Waffles the 501. Plate for two and three year olds. The Liverpool Cup, a mile and a half race, has but sixteen left in —still, as only a " tenner " can be saved by keeping a horse in the stable, and the prize is worth between five and six hundred pounds, the majority should run, despite the small odds taken about two or three candidates. Fervacques, Honeetish, Wild Briar, The Dean, comprise all that have been backed in anything like earnest as yet, albeit the owner of. Papillon laid 6 to 2 to lose some money against Fervacques and Wild Briar on Monday, thereby intimating that his Goodwood Stakes favourite would be a warm one some day. She does not, however, impress me as being very dangerous, and no sign having been made about Caithness, I see no reason to desert my old loees, Fervacques and The Dean, my pre dilection for the last named being very strong. With reference to the Clifden Cup at Stamford, I have to correct an error in my yesterday's letter, the retired " Lozenge " having been inadvertently written in place of Lord Ronald ; and I must also substitute Pompeii for Lure in the Johnstone Nursery, the filly having been left behind when Matthew Dawson took his team on from Newmarket.—l am, &c., METEOR.

SOUTH-EASTERN AND LONDON, BRIGHTON AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY COMPANIES BILL. On the consideration of the Lords' amendment to this bill, Mr. WATILIN moved to restore the provision which empowered the shareholders to divide a certain portion of their ordinary stock into two classes, the one to be called "preferred " and the other " deferred " stock. The same thing had been done in the Great Northern and the East Anglian, and other railways, and the effect had been to increase the value of the whole stock, and to dis courage the operations of those who were constantly endeavouring to depreciate it in the market. The South Eastern Company were desirous of issuing 400,0001. of stock for the construction of a railway from Greenwich to Woolwich, which would be a great public convenience, but if this provision were struck out they would not be able to issue it on reasonable terms. lie moved that the house should disagree with the amendment of the Lords. After a few words from Mr. CAVE, The motion was agreed to, and a committee was ap pointed to draw up reasons for disagreeing with the Lords in their amendment. The Mersey Railway Bill and the Star Life Assurance Society Bill were read a third time and passed. LONDON JOINT STOCK BANK.-(TiIIS DAY.)

The Cweanius, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, alluded to the unfavourable character of the last half year for banking operations. The business of the bank, although quiet, bad been very sound. They had nothing in the shape of railway or con tractors' securities. Dividend was now paid on larger capital than previously, the increase having strengthened the bank in public estimation. The guarantee fund, namely, 418,0001., was a fixed and steady amount, not depending on the fluctuating price of go vernment securities. If it were taken at the price of the day there would be a profit of fifty or sixty thousand pounds. By taking from the guarantee fund the very email amount of 8,0001., they were enabled to declare a dividend of 121 per cent. 40,0001. had been carried to the bad debt account, and ho believed it would:be quite sufficient to cover all loss. After a short discussion, the report and accounts were adopted. A dividend at the rate of l2} per cent. per annum having been declared, the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. TEE ALLIANCE DANZ-(TII . 1S DAY.) This day a mooting of sharehohlors was hold at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannou-sheet, Mr. Cnarroa in the chair. The following report was taken as mad:—"The directors have to report that the net profits of the bank for the last half-year (after making the necessary deduc tions for interest on current and deposit accounts, current expinses, bad &Its, and rebate uu bills not yet due) amount to 16,41 W. 18s. 9t1., which, with 9,7001. ss. 7d., balance from the previous half-year, makes a total of 26,1171. 4s. 4d. now to be disposed of. The directors, therefore, recommend that a dividend for the last six mouths of 7s. Gd. per share, or 3/. per cent. par annum, free of income tax, bo now declared, which will absorb 14,848 17s. Gd. ; and that 1,200/. be written off building and furniture accounts ; leaving 10,0711. tin. 18d. to be carried forward toprofit and loss new accoupt. Since the lust meeting the directors have elated John Grant Morris, Esq., of Liverpool, to a seat at the board, which election they have now to ask the share holders to confirm. The directors who retire Ty rotation, in accordance with the provisions of the articles of association, are—Christopher Atkinson, Esq., Alftnl Castellain, Esq., William Keatos, Esq., and John Torrance, Esq., all of whom, being eligible, offer them selves for re-election. The auditors, Messrs. Quitter, Ball, and Co., and H. W. Banner, likewise retire at this meeting, and offer themselves for re-election." 2ho &U 11131.01, in moving the adoption of the report and stati Int nt of accounts, said they exhibited some signs of improvement which were satisfactory. There was an increase of nearly 10,0001. in the gross profits, and their ci edit was restored abroad. He hoped they might obtain the prosperity they had been so long looking for if no cross currents arose to disturb their course. The large bad debt of the past had been reduced by 30,0001. The bad debts now consisted of 40,0001., but 72,0001. of this consisted in interest-bearing securities, so that the real lock up in London was only 20,0001. (Hear.) The bad debts in London during the last 18 months amounted to only 1301. (Hear, hear.) With regard to their separation from the Liverpool Institution the directors, had come to the conclusion that a separation was advisable, but that such separation should not take place till the time was come when it could be done with advantage. (Hear, hear.) They proposed at a future time to establish an entirely new bank in Liverpool, having no connexion with the bank in London except a relation of amity and good will. In reply to Mr. TAYLOR, who complained of the expense, The enamor; observed that Mr. Taylor went over the items of expenditure at the office, but ho was not able to point out any practical mode of reducing it. The board would be glad to receive and to adopt any practical sug gestions by which the expenses could be diminished. After some further discussion, the report was adopted. A MASTER'S RIGHT TO ORDER A SERVANT TO 00 TO BER.—A singular case came before the county-court judge at Guildford r. Stoner) on Thursday. Elizabeth Wheatly v. James White, was a claim of 16.. Bd. in lieu of notice. The defendant is the landlord of the Talbot Inn at Ripley. The plaintiff said she was in the service of defendant, who had dismissed her without giving her any notice. The cause of her dismissal was that the de fendant came down into the kitchen one night and told her to go to bed at a quarter to 10 o'clock. She refused to do so, as they never went to bed till half-past 10. Oa the following morning he threatened to kick her out of the house if she did not go.

The business of the National Rifle Association meeting was resumed this morning at the usual hour. 'I be ma was again intensely hot, but there was • gentle breeze from the south-east, although the thermometer at a quarter-past 11 o'clock this morning stood at nearly 93 in the shade. The volunteers at present in the camp number nearly 2,000, but everything goes on with the utmost regularity, showing most remarkably the great improvement which has taken place in all the arrangements since Earl Spencer has been placed at the head of the National Rifle Association, ably seconded as he is by Col. the Hon. W. Colville and the officers under his com mend. In consequence of the fire which took place yesterday on the Common, not very far from the ammunition store, through the negligence of some person throwing a lighted fume on the grass, which immediately ignited, the fol lowing notice was this morning issued: " Persons are particularly requested not to throw lighted cigars, fusecs, or matches on the ground, as the grass is so dry that it easily catches fire.—By order, • "B. Sr. J. MILDILLY, Secretary." The programme of this day is again crowded with im portant events, the first amongst them, of course, being the Queen's Prize, which is now being shot for at the se cond range of the first stage, viz., at 500 yards. As before, 28 targets were simultaneously used to accommodate the numerous competitors. At a very early period of the day it was stated that Corporal llepplestone had made a very good score. The following have made 18 points, the highest score :—Sergeant Carbon, Ist Notts ; Corporal Summers, 7th Salop; Colour-Sergeant Craig, Bth North ampton. The competition for the Alexandra prizes was con tinued at GOO yards ; and at this range the contest will close this day, as well as that at 200 yards. We understand that Private Lakeman has added another 19 to the list, showing that the shooting for these prizes this year has greatly improved. The Martin's Prize was proceeded with, but no results worth recording bad been arrived at when this left the Cammon. The competition for the fourth series of extra prizes was commenced for all comers, five shots each, at 600 yards. These prizes consist of the following : A silver tea service, given by Messrs. Hancock and Son ; a looking-glass, by Messrs. White, of Aldershot ; an album of photographs, given by Messrs. Moira and Haigh ; a claret jug mounted in silver; a target, by Messrs. Richards and Co. ; two Snider breech-loaders, by the directors of the London Small Arms Company ; • teles cope, by Messrs. Burrows, of Malvern; and • " Bury " telescope, by Mr. Steward, optician to the National Rifle Association. With such numerous prizes the com petition was very spirited, and it will be continued for the whole of the day. The Association Cup competition will be again resumed this afternoon. The competition for the Duke of Cambridge's Prize with breech-loading rides was amongst the orders of the day but up to the time this report was despatched no business whatever had been done, competitors preferring to shoot at a more advanced period of the day. A new and rather exciting contest, which takes place annually, will be commenced this afternoon at three o'clock, between mambas of the House of Lords and House of Commons, seven shots each at 200 and 600 yards. PRINCE ARLIE ALAMAIO. PLYMOUTH, Jots 16. Theodore's eon, Dejaz Alamaio, and Captain Speedy left here by the 10.25 train this morning for Portsmouth. Large crowds !Mod the railway platforms to see the Prince pass. He visited Mount Edgcumbe, yesterday, where he was received with a salute, in the park, by the local volunteers who were assembled under arms, and were inspected by the Prince with much interest. SURGICAL SEPARATION OF THE SIAMESE TWINE, CHANG AND IWO. The scientific world, and especially that portion of it who have made the study of medicine and surgery their profession, cannot fail to be intensely inter rated in the f act which has recently come to our knowledge, of the determination of (.'hang and Eng, c the Siamese twins, to submit to a eurgica. operation for the purpose of dissevering the wonderful link that has so long bound them together. Some forty yeah ago these twins were introduced to the notice of the civilised world, having been brought to England from Siam in the year 1827 or 1828, by Captain Bunker, at present living in New York, and for a series of years they were exhibited to the public at all the great centres of civilisation. Having visited America, they determined to make this land thew home. They bought a valuable tract of land in North Carolina, married two sisters, and settled down in the ordi nary routine of a farmer's daily life. Each of them is new the father of nine children. The reason for their determination, at this late day, to call in the art of surgery to produce an entire physical separation, is that having reached such an advanced age (69 years) they are fearful that ono may become the subject of disease, which may prove fatal to both. The interesting question arises, what are the probabilities of a successful operation being performed. It will be remembered in pursuing these Inquiries that the twine are held together by quite a massive link of thoroughly normal and perfectly vitalised integument, some 10 or 12 inches m circumference, situated near the vital organs, and in close proximity to the heart and lungs; and the connection Is eo intimate that each seems to bo thoroughly an organised portion of the other, as much so as any of the ordinary members of a naturally con stituted human body. Sensation, nervous impression, mental phenomena, morbid, physical, and nerve mental conditions, all show a most perfect psy chical unity in this wonderful dual physical ex istence. The . question in regard to the result of nn operation Is no new one, but soon after their Hest appearance in London and Paris it excited the minds of the foremost intellects in the surgical world. If we remember rightly, the "Twins" were exhibited before the Academy of Physicians and Surgeons in Paris at that time for the purpose of ascertaining their opinion in regard to tho probabilities of a suc cessful operation. The disagreement in regard thereto, we believe, led to the abandonment of the project. Has the science of surgery so rapidly advanced that to-day successful results can be promised when there was so much doubt a score or two of years ago I" We understand they contemplate visiting Paris for the purpose of having the operation pet fot trial —Neu; York Tribune, July 3.
