THE DERBY. VISIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES. The gathering at Epsom to-day will evidently exceed in numbers that of any previous year. The departures from the West-end included car riages and " traps " of every description—open landaus drawn by four horses, with mounted posti lions, being more conspicuous than the rest. Om nibuses and pleasure-vans, laden inside and nut, were everywhere to be seen. Hansom cabs 1 9Peored to be in oonsiderable request. The " road " exhibited accordingly the usual mix ture of vehicles. The scene at the Elephant and Castle was a curious one, the windows of the houses being occupied by gaily dressed ladies and children. Many thousands of people lined the footway to Kennington-gate. The fine weather had induced the lathes to dress in their lightest attire, while a larger number than usual of white hats, green gauze veils, and light overooate were sported by their companion. The scene at the London-bridge railway terminus almost sets description at deliauce, the amount of traffic being unprecedented. The first train was despatched from the Brighton station at a few minutes after 6—the holders of tickets being chiefly those " going down" to cater for the amuse ment of, and to supply provisions to, the visitors. The succeeding trains were made up with rapidity, the rush to each being tremendous. Up to 9 o'clock more than a dozen " specials" had been despatched and trains were announced to continue running up till 2 o'clock. Numbers were also conveyed to Epeom from the Waterloo terminus, as well as at Vauxhall and Kensington. The orders executed by Fortnum and Mason, Piccadilly, show an in crease on any preceding year. " The start" has off merrily euough ; what " the return" will we cannot profess to telL The weather is extremely favourable. The gale and high wind of Monday night and Tuesday morning cleared the air of the oppressive sultriness which for some days past had been experienced, and this morning the breeze was just enough to temper the heat of the sun without raising the accustomed clouds of dust. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, at tended by his suite, left Marlborough House at 20 minutes past 11 o'clock, and posted by road, to the Downs. The route was over Chelsea New Bridge and through the second lodge into Battersea-park, along the inside of the park, and by Falcon-lane to Wandsworth-road, then across Wandsworth-commou and by Five House-lane to the Epsom-road, and along that to Merton. TLe horses of the royal carriage were to be changed at the " Five Bella. ' Thence the Prince was to pro ceed through Morden and Ewell to Epsom town, and pass through the High-street to Woodoote Park, and out at the lodge on the Downs, then along the outside of the paddock and by the road to the back of the Grand Stand, where the Prince was to arrive at 1.45. The route here taken was kept by mounted constables of the T division of metropolitan police, who, with the force at Epsom town, dm., were under Mr. Superintendent Butt. The police at the Grand Stand and course were under Mr. Superintendent Walker, of the A divi sion. The total police force placed at the railway stations, along the nada, and on the cours e, amounted to about 1,016 men. The Prince of Wales will return to town in the evening by the main road and Clapham-common. THE SCENE ON THE COURSE AND IN THE TOWN. EPSOM, WIIDNEIDAY Noon. From 10 o'clock last night gipsies, coster mongers, itinerant conjurors, tumblers, and roughs, in profusion, poured on to the Downs iu one continuous stream. This morning, however, the character of the arrivals was of a different kind, and gay vehicles, carriages, and "turn outs" of every description, with ladies in brilliant toilets, and pleasure parties, in most agreeable variety, flocked to the course. Epsom High-street and market-place were crowded with cabs, flys, and stage coaches plying for hire and eager throngs of pedestrians who patronised largely the Spread Eagle, White Hart, King's Head, and other hostelries. The 86th Derby Stakes will be run at 3 o'clock. The subscribers number 249, and the value of the subscription is 6,8751. Thirty horses are entered to start. Numbers of spectators were arriving when our despatch was sent off. THE RACE. Gladiatenr ... ... Christmas Carol ... ••• Eltham ..• ... ... 35 ran. Run one hour behind time.

The CHAIRMAN in movie' it. adopt»n recapitulated the chief piste in the report, the dividend proposed, via, 8 per out., was a diminution of per cent,, as compared with the previous dividend-the routes being that they had put aside a large amount to the reserve, and their invest ment. in Canada had diminished of late years to the amount of 45,0001. Cirenmstenose, political and monetary, had considerably affected the company daring the past year. The war in the United Suites had diminished Americas setimitiee considerably, sad the high rate of iota rest in this country had further iadnoed the withdrawal of money from the debentures of the company, and so diminished reserve. Perhaps the remedy for this would be to oiler a larger tete of interest to those who lent their money and to charge a higher rota in proportion to thole to whom they advanced mousy in Canada ; but the nroviocial law in that coustry restricted them to charging eight per cent. In this oountry, by means of discussion, we had got rid of the usury laws, and the effect had been to increase convenience without ., was anticipated by some-iejering the landed intend; sod it was to be hoped that further discussion would convince people in Canada that restrictions in dealing with money were injurious to the interests of the colony. U the fede ration of the North American provinces should be carried out, it was believed that there would be little or no u diffi clty in obtaining he removal of he restricion on the aceount of interest t for motley lent upon the t security of Mr. W. CHAPMAN, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion, which was carried. The di,idecd, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, less then declared.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY.—An extraor dinary general meeting of this company took place Teeter day, at the London Tavern, Bishoosgeteetrest, for the our- pose of considering " A bill to authorise the North Stafford- ! shire Railway Compail to contract certain railways form tog a loop-line railway in the Staffordshire Potteries, and to repeal certain of the provisions of their acts with mere to minas's, and to enact others in lien thereof," and A bill for making a railway between Burtonopou-Treat and! Nottingham, with branches." Colonel Pearson occupied the chair, and explained that the object of the first men tionedbill was to accommodate an enormous mineral dis trict. The proprietors would readily understand what the value of the line was likely to be when he told them that there were no fewer than 25 seams of opal and iron inde pendently of the Potteries themselves. The engineer stated that the length of the line was six miles 1 furlong, and the estimated outlay upon it was 150,0001., v . 25,000/. a mile. The line was a double on, and there would be spacious stations at the different towns comprised in it. The population to be served by this in creased acoommodation numbered 100,000, and they might fairly be called a travelling people. The present company took powers under the bill to raise 300.0001., their mama for doing so being that claims were continually made upon them for mineral products under the railway and canal', and moreover that it would be uneseary for them to in crease their rolling stock. Proprietors might be enured, however, that none of the capital would be raised without the directors calling them together for the purpose of I taking • special vote upon the subject. A resolution setting forth the objects of the bill was agreed to, and • motion was also posed recording the high estimate enter tained of the late chairman, Yr. Broderick. by the genial body of the shareholders The mend bill mentioned w in throught forward. The m :;thankirto the chairman. meeting °Pirated With l"th. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
