A. um LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 6. Juan as the old mail coaches adapted themselves, on the first of May, to summer weather and sum mer arrangements for roads and travellers, so the railway companies are expected to adapt their May time-bills to the summer and autumnal traffic. A merry month the present ought to prove to railway managers, seeing that it opens with Chester races, always a great attraction, that the Whitsuntide holidays fall in the middle of the month, and that the last week of it is the Derby week. For these events nearly all the great railway companies are making preparations, advertising excursion trains, fast trains, and special trains, as occasion may re quire. In addition, however, to these temporary arrange ments, several of the companies have made ar rangements for the summer mouths, which afford the public prospect of enhanced railway faci lities. It is observable that the system of "through booking" is becoming very general, an accommodation for which the public are indebted to the improved feeling now prevailing between the companies. The London and North Western Railway Company not only books through from all its principal stations to almost every part of Scotland and Ireland, but it has made arrange ments to convey passengers through between the east of England and the west—i. e., from such places as Lincoln, Nottingham, and Derby, to Hereford, Abergavenny, and Newport (Monmouth shire), and it also arranges to carry passengers from places on the London and North Western and Great Western lines, such as Birmingham, Wolver hampton, Chester, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, Rugby, .tc. ; to and from Cambridge, Peterborough, Wis. beach, Newmarket, Ipswich, Yarmouth, Norwich, and other places on the system of the Great Eastern Railway. Arrangements are also made by the same company for an interchange of the traffic and through communication with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, so that passengers may book through from stations on the London and North Western to Blackburn. Clitheroe, Bolton, Bury, Bradford, and other places which previously could not be reached without the inconvenience of changing trains and some trouble as to tickets. In the same way facilities are afforded for reaching the north-east coast from the north-west coast, by interchange of traffic with the South Durham, and Stockton and Darlington Railways, and also for reaching Scarborough and Whitby by way of Leeds and York. In the neighbourhood of London the North Western is also developing the resources of the North London line, affording residents in the suburbs through which it passes great facilities for getting round to the stations south of the Thames, and also making through rates, and trains to and from Harrow, Watford, and St. Alban's, to the City, for the convenience of suburban residents. There is an important service between Manchester and Liver pool and Scotland, and the express trains between London and Manchester are also expedited. The Great Western is also adopting a system of through booking, rid Reading, with the South Eastern and South Western Railways, so that tra vellers from Birmingham, Oxford, Leamington, and the West Midland districts may travel through— say, to Southampton, Portsmouth, Hastings, Folke stone, or Dover, without passing through London. Starting from Birmingham at noon, Southampton is reached at 5.20, Portsmouth at 6 p.m., Hastings and Folkestone at 6.30, and Dover at 6.50 by this route. These arrangements are no doubt advantageous to the travelling public, and it L to be considered that they are made at the risk of some sacrifice to the companies, which are, of course, interested in carrying passengers over the largest extent of mileage on their respective lines, and therefore in passing them through Loudon rather than exchanging the traffic elsewhere. The Great Western, we are also pleased to see, is be ginning to show Rome interest in third-class traffic, which it has hitherto accommodated very insuffi ciently. It also advertises a series of excursion trains during the Whitsuntide holidays, and has resumed a direct traffic between Windsor and Far ringdon-street, though by no means in a manner likely to be deemed sufficient. However, any ad vance in this direction on the part of the Great Western must be considered a concession, as it has until lately appeared to disdain anything but first class traffic. The Midland Co m pany,which appears to apply itself specially to suit tbe commercial interests of the coun try, has recently made some noticeable alterations with a view to facilitate the carriage of commercial travellers' luggage. It is also endeavouring very earnestly to promote and cultivate ita third-class traffic, which must be of the highest importance looking at the populous districts through which this line passes. The fares on the Midland system are now adjusted at very moderate rates. All mail and express train fares bare been discontinued, and ordinary fares only are charged by all trains. The Great Northern train service exhibits perhaps fewer alterations than that of any other line ; but passing through Doncaster, and communicating with York, Nottingham, and other places where sport Li relished, this company is making special arrangements for a large trifle to London during Epsom week. It has also laid on a new express Monday morning train from Lincoln and interme diate places to London, apparently to suit agricul turists wishing to attend the Mark-lane market. The Great Northern, very wisely, continues to I make increasing use of the pfestiusti station. The Great Eastern is increasing the number of its trains and developing cheap traffic. It is also endeavourin4 to promote the interests of%he water ing plaCes Whfoli it . reaches on the east coast by fast trains, and weekly return tickets to Yarmouth, Lowestoft, ildristirnton, Aldborough, and Walton on-the-Naze. " Cheap trips "to these places at Whitsuntide are promised. The packet service between Harwich and the Continent is still con fined to goods and cattle ; but there is some prospect of its being opened for passengers during the season. The South Eastern has this month brought all its trains to Charing-cross, and it is to be hoped that there will be an improvement in the traffic of their line iu consequence. The fares from Charing cross, upon the Greenwich and other short lines, have been found too high, and we are glad to see that some reduction has been made in them. A third class fare of 2d. has been established between Charing•oroas and London-bridge, and the rates to Croydon, Beckenham, &c., have also been reduced. Together with the terminus, the customs depart ment for the examination of the luggage of pas sengers arriving from the Continent has been re moved to Charing-cross ; and the management is apparently striving very earnestly to develop that continental traffic for which the new station affords such important facilities. The London, Chatham, and Dover Company appears to postpone any alterations in its traffic arrangements until its line is opened to Blackfriars ; and there are at present no alterations on the Brighton or South Western of sufficient impor tance to require notice. Tice directors of tho Bank of England have taken another important step in their policy of restriction, having raised the minimum rate of discount from 8 to 9 per cent. This makes a total rise of 2 per cent. within four days, a movement from 7 to 8 having been adopted as recently as Monday last The stringency previously existing in the money market having already caused a decided improvement in the foreign exchanges and in the bullion current, and the principal continental banks having as yet taken no action calculated to counteract the attempts of the Bank of England to lay those markets under contribution, the com mercial public have been taken somewhat by sur prise by yesterday's movement. As usual, there was little disposition to criticise the policy of the Bank directors, but much anxiety was evinced to learn the nature of the changes in the weekly Bank return, which it was presumed would throw light upon their motives. The figures will be found in the usual place at the end of our City article. The alteration in the coin and bullion certainly does not explain the new restriction just enforced, the total being still as much as 12,454,2441., and present ing a decrease since last week to the trifling extent of 113,5321. In raising the rate of discount to its present extraordinary point, the directors must have been influenced chiefly by the further decline in the reserve : the total under this heal (notes and coin) is now 5,619,9941., being 641,5471. less than last week, and the decrease has arisen mainly through the addition of 1,058,7921. to the private securities, a further decrease of 341,1331. in the private deposits having been more than neutralised by the influx of the revenue. Upon the question as to whether the general position of the Bank accounts justifies the further rise in the rate made yesterday, there will of course be two opinions. I Meanwhile it is important to remark that, should the event prove that the Bank directors have proceeded too far or too rapidly, the severity of their action will yet remedy the evil the sooner ; and in this way the duration of the prevalence of the present high terms will be shortened. A fresh impulse will cer tainly be given to the improvement already in progress in the foreign exchanges ; and, although it seems hardly likely that the banks on the Con tinent can neglect to adopt some steps in answer to those taken here—the rate of discount at the Bank of France, for example, being only 6 per cent. against 9 per cent at the Bank of England—the probability is that they will not be able to prevent a rather rapid accumulation of gold in our Bank. The reassuring features are likewise presented that the commercial community view the present violent movement in the money market with perfect calm ness, in the belief that there is no rottenness in trade to be searched out by the ordeal As regards this point, it is very satisfactory to learn that the number of bills returned at the mercantile settle ment of the 4th of the month (Wednesday) was smaller than has been known for some time past A 9 per cent rate of discount at the Bank has not been known since the sth Nov., 1857, when the coin and bullion were 8,497,7801., being 3,956,464/, less than the amount held now, and the reserve of notes and coin was 2,944,0001., being 2,675,9941. less than now. At the period referred to it will be remembered the pressure on the Bank's resources went on increasing, until, in spite of a rise (on the 10th Nov.) in the rate of discount to 10 per cent— the highest point on record—the government found it necessary, on the 12th, to relax the Bank Act EN Court.

DANGERS TO GERMANY OF A WITH ENGLAND. The Continental papers, received this morn ing, especially those from Paris, treat of a war between Germany and England as by no weans an improbable event. " Prussia," says the Dibats, "evidently contemplates breaking up the Conference if the English fleet enters the Baltic, and the English fleet only waits for a signal which Lord Palmerston can now give without English commerce accusing him of pre cipitation and foolish impatience. The English cabinet has certainly shown throughout this unhappy affair, as much prudence, moderation, and impartiality as can be expected of a great power in such a case. It has astonished the world by its forbearance. We will not attempt to give advice to the Prussian nation. We see by reading the journals of Berlin that Prussia, altogether in fatuated by the victories in Sleswig, and by the long and irritating repose in which it has been kept by its situation, while other peoples of Europe have from time to time encountered warlike adven tures and occasions of glory—we see Prussia persuading herself that the English fleet will find the end of its renown in the Baltic, and that it will receive a terrible lesson from the invincible walnut shells with which the grace of God has deigned to provide King Frederick William. When a great people is a prey to such illusions it is useless to attempt to influence it by judicious counsels ; it must became wise at its own expense. But let Austria, which, during fifteen years, has gone over too many fields of battle to allow the fumes of powder to ascend to its brain and intoxicate it, calmly consider whether it can lose for ever the English alliance, and if she will gain much by establishing the Prussians in Kiel at the risk of bringing before Venice the flag which has just floated over the triumphs of Garibaldi. Let the cabinets of the secondary states remember the an nexationist doctrines upon which M. de Bismark piqued himself two years ago, and let them ask themselves if it is not the keys of Dresden, Ha nover, Cassel, and Darmstadt that Prussia has sought at Rendadurg, Duppel, and Frederick.. Let the German people themselves—a people healthy in heart and mind, who must not be judged by the sickly metaphysicians of the National Verein —reflect in what a situation they would be placed by a war with England ; Russia being able to bring only an alliance virtually useless, and France not having yet told her secret. The war of Germany with England ! it is all the German coasts ravaged without possible reprisals, or it is general war, that is to say, • war which may have in reserve infinite evils for the whole world, but which would have for its certain and inevitable result, whatever might happen elsewhere, the dismemberment of Germany." The Austrian Gazette and the Botschafter profess to believe that there is no agreement between England and France. "The attitude of France," says the former journal, "has been so full of re serve, that we do not think it is likely to depart from it, now that Denmark is at the end of its resources!' DEPARTURE OF A BRITISH MAN-OF-WAR FOR THE NORTH SEA. "The auspiciously named frigate," says the Morning Post, " which has been despatched to the North Sea will be bailed by the Danes in this darkest hour of their need as the harbinger of light and hope. The Aurora has sailed, taking with her the Black Eagle. Her mission is to watch the Austrian fleet, and in the event of its shaping a course for the Baltic the Channel fleet will at once sail with the avowed object of saving the Daues from being overpowered at sea. England cannot see a German armada go coasting along her shores on its mission of destruction, and allow the finest fleet in the world to remain at anchor as the aggres sive force passes them iu the Downs. Our diplo macy has been cajoled and defeated. We have been played with, and laughed at, but we have yet to see that such an insult to our national honour can be tolerated." The Times endeavours to show that England has in no degree failed in her duty to Denmark, and that in bringing together the Conference our go vernment acted to the beet of its power; but adds that the meetings of this assembly will be attended with no good results. "The game of ' waiting for instructions' is being played in a manner which proves that the German powers do not care to show even a semblance of respect for the negotiations into which they have entered. Under these cir cumstances, the project may well be abandoned, fora further persistence in it will be derogatory to the dignity of England, and will apparently be of no benefit to Denmark. When the Conference is at an end we shall at least be free to act untram melled by pending negotiations." THE WAR IN JUTLAND. (From the &mood Edition of the Timer.) HAMBURG, MAT 6.

The Imperial Prince's fête is to be celebrated on Sunday afternoon by infantile rejoicings in the Tuileries' gardens. There will be a dozen of those little puppet theatres called Guignols—such as are to be seen any fine day in the Charopaßlysies—two pantomimes, two military bands, and two children's balls. A great novelty will be the assemblage of from 150 to 200 of those vendors of cheap re freshing drinks called merchants de coco, every one of whose will wear upon his hat a placard indicating the particular kind of beverage— whether Spanish liquorice water, lemonade, or red currant syrup, that he draws from his tap. There will be the like number of itinerant cake and orange merchants. A buffet is also to be prepared for the accommodation of grown persona. Such is the programme ; but in case of bad weather the execution of it will be adjourned till another Sunday. A lady, now called Countess Lionel de Chabrillan, but better known by her former name of Mogador, writes to the Figaro an account of a mysterious ' attempt made by a woman unknown to assassinate her on Sunday last She was coming away from the little Belleville Theatre, whither she had been to revise the manuscript of a piece writted by her self, in which the Censure had made considerable alterations. A well-dressed woman followed her and entered into conversation about theatrical matters ; but when they reached the lonely street called the Rue Julien Lacroix, the stranger sud denly produced a knife, and stabbed her twice in the left arm, "evidently, however, aiming at the heart." She then ran away, leaving the countess, who fortunately does not appear to have been seri ously injured, lost in wonderment. METROPOLITAN PREP HOSPITAL. Lest evening the anniversary festival of this institutioa was celebrated at the London Tavern, Bishops pte-street, under the presidency of Mr. GOIiCHES, M.P. The guests numbered about 120 gentlemen, and emoting them were several well known contributin to those charities which below especially to the City of Looders. i It appeared from the speech of the chairman n proposing the toast of the evening, and from certain statistics pre meted on the occasion, that during the pest year the institu tion had received its full share of public support. In the year 1182, the attendance of patients at this hospital amounted to 103,9er3 (more than 10,0110 in OXOOIII of the previous year), the increased number being chiefly owing to the removal in that year of St. Thomas's, and although the building limit less quite inadequate for the accommodation of so vast a number, the committee felt bound to afford every assis tance in their power to those poor creatures who had been deprived of the benefitaiof that institution. The numbers however continuing to increase, a resolution was peoted,to the effect that the oommittee should admit daily only so many as the building would hold with some degree of com fort, Were being unfortunately no funds for its ealugement. With this reetriction the attendance of patients during the past year amounted to One ctimacteristic of this hospital was the entire freedom of its operations, no letter of recommenda tion being requited. This peculiarity mosmarily subjected the finances to an amount of pressure far in exams of the means at the disposal of the committee, who, having no funded property, must either refuse relief, or incur the reeponsibilitylof getting into debt. The liabilities anion the hospital at the clam of the year exceeded 2,000/.—• debt which the committee trusted might be removed by the gammas co-operation of those who felt an interest in the institution. lo reference to the fact that upwards of 86,000 patients were relieved last year, the chairman ob served that very little!mention was made of in-patients in tlfit report, and from this fact he inferred that the funds of the charity were act sufficient to maintain many in-patuseta. It was certainly a source of great satisfaction to know that 86,000 poems had been relieved ; but at the suns time it was to be regretted that the exertions of the oommittos should be restricted by the want of funds. The hospital was situated close to the most populous and destitute dis tricts of the metropolis—Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Bethnal green, Whilechapel, ke. ; but the. were districts which at the same time conveyed a great idea of industry, for in this part of Leedom some of our most important manufactures werecarried on • and he most sincerely trusted that the deficiency.' 2,0001. which the financial antenna% disclosed would very speedily be supplied. The chairman's appeal was most warmly responded to, mid tbe subscription; and donations ancoumed *mounted to nearly 2,000/. A dis tinguishing feature in coonexion with this hospital is the fact that it provides special accommodation for Jewish patients, to whose exclusive uses are allotted male and female wards, with Hebrew attendants, sod various dean , tans which their religious persuasion requires. The musical ts were ander the direction of Mr. Edwin Gray, a w i lt r i s o a L e r t u be valuable assistance of Miss Eyles, Miss Char lotte Grosvenor, Miss Moment, Mr. T. Bogen, Mr. Burnes, ad Mr. Coss, the last-mentioned gentleman being an able ✓od effective aceocopeoyist. Mr. Rim was, as usual, an efficient toastmaster. It shonM be stated that the new arrangements under which the London Tavern is now carried on by a company of shareholders have not in any way changed the usual nurse of operatiorse ; and the guests at public ditmers have still the advantage of the able management of Mr. Fangs, who has long been connected with this establithment. - - - - PUBLIC HOUSES SUNDAY RESTRICTION BILL.
