RAILWAY INTELLIGEITCE. EDGWARE, HIGHGATE, AND LONDON. The following is the arrangement which the di rectors of this company have entered into with those of the Great Northern Railway Company (subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies at meetings convened for the purpose) for an amalgamation of the two companies. From the opening of the main line to Edgware, the share holders of the Edgware company will-participate in the Great Northern dividend in the following pro yortions :—viz., for the first year after the opening of the line, 4-14ths of the Great Northern dividend; for the second year, 6-14ths ; for the third year, 8-11ths ; for the fourth year, 10-14ths ; and fcr the fifth and all subsequent years, 11-14ths. At the end of the fourth year the Edgware stock will merge into and become Great Northern Stock, each share holder in the Edgware line receiving for every £lOO of Edgware stock 11-11ths of £lOO in Great Nor thern stock. The directors of the Edgware com pany in their circular to the shareholders state that those terms must be regarded as satisfactory, _and in view of the financial difficulties-which have at tended the construction of the line hitherto, and which would no doubt have still further hindered its completion, they do not hesitate to recommend the arrangement for the approval and confirmation of the general body of shareholders. The Great Northern are now forwarding by all means the completion of the main line to Edgware, and the directors anticipate that it will be open for traffic in the fall of this year. ISLE OF WIGHT. A special general meeting of this company, con vened by requisition, was held on Friday in the offices, Great George-street, Westminster, for the appointment of a committee to investigate the affairs of the company ; Capt. Huish in the chair. The C HAI RUAN said the directors fully concurred in the appointment of the committee. With re spect to the charges which had been broughtagainst the directors, he did not think the present was the proper time to answer them, as he thought they would be best dealt with by the committee. Mr. Manns had stated in his pamphlet that if the traffic of the line was managed with economy and effi ciency there was every prospect of a good return to the shareholders. He quite concurred in that ex pression, and added that whatever was the result of the committee the directors would place their seats at the disposal of the shareholders. A long discussion ensued, during which Mr. MANNS said he would substantiate the state ments he had made to the effect that the capital had been exceeded, and that shares had been repre sented to be fully paid up when nothing had been paid upon them. A resolution appointing a committee of investi gation was carried, the Warrant Finance Company being represented by three members and the share holders by two members. The proceedings then terminated. SPALDING AND BOURN. Capt. Rich, R.E., has inspected this line on the part of the Board of Trade, and it is intended to open it for traffic in the course of a few days. The length of the line is about 10 miles, and branches from the loop line of the Great Northern. NORTITF4RN OF BUENOS AYRES. The traffic receipts on this company's line, 19 miles open, amounted for the four weeks ending the 24th of March last, to £3,002, averaging £39 9s. 11d. per mile per week, and for the corresponding four weeks of 1865 to £2,650, averaging £34 17s. 3d. per mile per week. SMYRNA AND CASSABA. The traffic receipts on this company line amounted for the week ending 13th of May to £872, including £169 for goods, and for the week ending the 20th of May to £915, including £l7O for goods traffic. The length of line open for passengers war 61 miles, and Inuoods 40 miles. RAILWAY BILLS.

MADRAS IRRIGATION AND CANAL. The ordinary general meeting of this compa ny was held on Thursday at the offices, Queen-stieq place ; Ir. J. Thomson in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that the first capital of the company (£1,000,000) being nearly exhausted, and there being no probability of raising additional capital without an extension of the 9overnment guarantee, the works were sus- Penda The chief engineer reported that £500,000 of additional capital would be required to comp lete the works for irrigation and navigation between Soonkasala and C uddapah. The Cuzur.m.kx moved the adoption of the re port, which was carried. An extraordinary meeting of the company was then held. The CHAIRMAN said they had at all times enter tained a conviction that al a a a rger amount of capital would be required than w originally guaranteed by the East India Government to carry out the ori ginal scheme. They would obsery that a proposal had been submitted to them for an advance 0f£600,000 with a guarantee of 5 per cent., or a cale of the works upon specified terms. Major-Gen. CLARKE then moved that it was not desirable to accept the offer of purchase of the works as proposed by the S ecretar y of State for In dia, and that the negotiations for the loan which had been oifered . by Lord De Grey be left in the hands of the board with an expression of confidence in their past views and proceedings. This was seconded by Major-Gen. BALFOUR, C.B. Mr. WILSON then moved that it was desirable that the works of the Madras Irrigation and Canal Com pany should be surrendered to the Indian Govern ment in exchange for an amount of Indian 5 per Cent. Stock, transferable at the Bank of England at par, equal to the paid-up guaranteed capital of the company, in accordance with Lord De Grey's proposal, under date the 11th May, 1866, and that the directors be empowered to negotiate with the Indian Government for the immediate conclusion of an arrangement on this basis, which was seconded by Mr. WHALLEY, After a long discussion, the latter proposition was rejected, and the original proposition was carried by a large majority ; and a vote of thanks to the chair man terminated the proceedings. HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE. The annual general meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen -street ; I\lr. Bird in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that the tolls and rents for the year ending the 30th April last amounted to £5,532, being an increase of £290. The Lum of £5OO had been taken from the reserve fund for the repairs of the-bridge footpaths. The ordinary expenses amounted to £1,495, and the ex traordinary expenditure for renewals, &c., to £1,156, making together £2,651. The available assets amounted in cash on deposit account and at bankers' to £3,662. The directors recommended that a divi dend of 425. per share, clear of income-tax, be de clared payable on the 25th inst. On the motion of the Chairman, the report, in eluding the dividend, was adopted. Mr. A. J. Roberts and Mr. G. Vacher were elected to fill vacancies at the board, and the retiring directors and auditor were re-elected. The proceed ings then terminated. WATERLOO-BRIDGE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the Freemasons' Tavern—Mr. W. Anderson in the chair. Mr. Powell, the clerk, read the report, which stated that the receipts for the half-year ending Feb. 23 had been £10,658 against £10,102, for the same period of last year. From the receipts the directors recommended a dividend of 4s. 8d pershare, leaving a balance of £4,923. The report was adopted and the dividend de clared.

To-day the de mand was not so brisk, 8 to 1 was for some time offered on the Field, and Windham evidently had the call ; less than 9 to 1 was refused about Miss Haworth, and 100 to 8 was booked quietly by one of the knowing ones about Honesty. The amount put on Dolan and Harry Drailsford were but small, the layers being much the stronger party. For the St.L-gerLorcl Lyon was rather freely invested on at 2 to 1. His lordship being the only ono finding any work for the metalic's, 3 to 1 being freely offered against Rustic and 4 to 1 against Savernake. CLOSING PRICES. NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE.

ThE SUN, LONDuN, MONDAY EV ENI.NG„JUNE 11, 18C6. AQUATICS. S'OHOONER MATCH ON THE THAMES. Three matches between large yachts, in connexion with the Royal Thames Yacht Club, were sailed on the Thames on Saturday, but the extreme lightness of the wind, and occasional calms, reduced the sport to a minimum. Pro bably the races can hardly be considered fair tests of the merits of the respective vessels, or illustrations of the skill of the crews. The contests, tedious and disappointing as they must have been to yachting men, nevertheless afforded a holiday to the hundreds of landsmen and landswomen who crowded the steamers from London-bridge in the morning. The Prince of Wales saloon steamer, char tered by the Club Committee, spacious as her accom modation is, was in fact uncomfortably crowded, and the heat was intense. The run down to Rosherville, by the aid of the Royal Artillery band, was very pleasant, but when the excitement of starting the yachts was over, occasional wishes began to be expressed that the wind would strengthen or the signal guns announce the termination of the sailing. The extreme stillness of the atmosphere was all the more to be regretteU, because considerable interest was felt at the yachting clubs in the performance of some of the yachts. There rere three classes, and three vessels in each, ready for starting, at their moorings at Gravesend, before the arrival of the committee's steamer, with Lord A. Paget, the commodore, on board. After a brief halt at the landing stage the preliminary signal was given, the white sails were quickly run up, and preparations made to be off. Three yawls, the Water Lily, Mr. G. F. Muntz ; Zantha, Lord A. Paget ; and the Oithona, Mr. G. Salt, were in the position furthest down the river; the three schooners to sail for the first prize of £loo—the Circe, Mr. G. Harrison ; Gloriana, M. A. 0. Wilkinson, and the Blue Bell, Mr. F. Edwards, were in the second place ; and the second-class schooners, the Fleur de Lys, Mr. 11. W. Birch; the Madcap Mr. J. S. Abbott-Dunbar; and the Reverie, Mr. J. Courtauld, were the stemmost. The wind' during Saturday, as is often the case at this season of the year, took the round of the compass, but at a quarter to twelve, when the start was made, it came in a faint breath from the south, but so faint that it was nearly imperceptible. The tide helped the vessels to "slew," an operation they performed with the utmost re luctance. Under their plenteous spread of canvass, in cluding of course balloon jibs and topsails, and all the other etceteras pressed into service in cases of emergency, the yachts looked - pretty enough to warrant the usual comparisons to clouds and swans. The turning buoy, or, to be correct, flagship, was anchored midway between the Nor© and Mouse Lights, the original distance having been reduced on account of the slow sailing.' So uniform was the creeping that the whole of the yachts turned towards home between half-past four and five, and the changing of places had been and was afterwards very slight. The Gloriana, which at the turn was a short distance behind the Reverie and Madcap, spread out her huge sails in running up, and was the first in, the time being 7.42 The Circe followed at 7.55, the Blue 801 l at 8.6. The Glo riana won the iteyal Thames Yacht Club schooner match last year, and on that occasion the breezes were more pro pitious. The Circe is a Clyde iron-built vessel, with a re putation of superior speed. The Blue Bell is a new craft never yet fairly tried. The Madcap obtained the prize in the second class, coming in at 7.54, and owing her victory mainly to her superiority in working to windward. Her competitors were not timed. Had the work been sterner the Reverie, which had taken several prizes in Scotland, would have been a serious oppnent. With regard to the yawl class, very few persons on board the steamers were hardy enough to bet against Lord Alfred Paget's Xantha . —the winner of the ocean matches both last year and this. On the present occasion she won easily, finishing her round at 7.56. Leaving thorough yachtsmen out of the question, the choice music, the scenery of the Thames, the cutters and schooners dotting the river, and the abundant leisure for entertaining conversation, must have been the source of no little enjoyment to the people on board the steamer. welching fraternity, situate on Ray's Island, and bounded by a mill-stream and the cleaner portion of old Father Thames. There is always plenty of water, indeed a Spring Meeting would have come off but for the fact of the course having been sub merged. Two minor welchers ventured to show in spite of the watery element. They were both de tected in the act of escaping from the tight little island. Both got duckings —the one voluntarily by boldly taking the brook, and the other involuntarily by being caught and thrust in. The brace of flat catchers in question were operating on the Summer Handicap, where the " A's" were in great force, not the Metropolitan division of Alpha, but the aristo cratic horses, whose names commenced with our lead ing letter, the trio being the Marquis of llastings's Ackworth, Lord Westmoreland's Auditor, and Cap tain Lane's Ammunition. The " pots" boiled over, and all who took liberties with mighty Jove were astounded at the result when Jupiter landed a win ner by seven or eight lengths. At llampton the limited space of Moulsey Hurst proved wholly in adequate for the accommodation of the tens of thousands who go from all parts of London on a fine summer's day in every class of vehicle. The costers, Bethnal-green bird-catchers, dog-stealers, and the entire refuse of every metropolitan slum seemed to have congregated together ; it became impossible for the police to keep in check the thou sands of ruffians who hustled every respectable per son. The welchers mixed with the regulars, and the harpies included some of the greatest black guards possible, who forced the gate and set up such a screaming in search of stray half-crowns from the humbler-looking classes that it became impossible to stand without immense odds in fa vour of being robbed ; and the parties were too strong and prevented the moral dipping process being carried into effect. The comfort of all respectable frequenters of great racing meetings loudly calls for immediate and efficient reform of such a state of things. As to procuring refresh ments every booth had its front covered with lists, and all who approached were beset in the most savage manner. The existing law is quite strong enough to repress this disgraceful state of things and to prevent systematic plunder in open day. Many will recollect the first days when gambling bocths were permitted, and " roulette," " un deux cinq," and " hazard" were permitted in and under the principal stands ; when all over the course were games with dice and other contrivances might be seen ? Where are they now ? Why, may not Scotland-yard be roused to prevent open betting lists by the welching fraternity. Why should the worst specimens from Farringdon ruins or George yard be allowed unblushingly to ply their nefarious cheating system among the many at . our fashion able and mixed meetings? Why, indeed? I leave the city bears to their own conscience if they pos sess any. They only gamble on the large scale which ruins by thousands—the welchers attack the morals of the younger and less experienced portion of mankind. Each is equally responsible, for who would justify the " parties of rank and position" in the rotten circles of stock- jobbing who combined together and concocted a lying telegram to Bombay that the great and safe bank bearing the honoured name of Masterman had stopped payment, when such an event was deemed impossible, and width had the effect of spreading consternation and ruin all over India. Upon this determined and most nefarious proceeding, with others of a similar cha racter, the select few of the more limited family of wide-awakes" have netted immense sums from the larger brotherhood of "greenhorns," and this too in the great city of paper, where imitation religion rules on the surface, upon which is based therankest and worst hypocrisy, and under the wings of which lie nestled that gigantic and specious foundation of well-organised plunder, whose fair superstructure has silently and insidiously spread its intricate meshes, and become the terror and disgrace of our age! Shocking Loss of a Slip.--Several Lives Lost. - The following has been received at the Foreign Officefrom her Majesty's Consul at New York, com municating the circumstances of the loss of the chip Bloomer, 814 tons register, belonging to the port of London, while on her passage from Cardiff to Aden, and the shocking fate of the captain, chief officer, and four hands : " We sailed from Cardiff on the 10th March, in charge of Captain T. S. Fleming, and chief officer Mr. F. L. Locke, the crew all told numbering 32 persons. The ship was heavily laden, drawing 19 feet 8 inches aft, and 18 feet 10 inches forward. On the night of the 22d March, when about 100 miles west of Scilly, with a strong breeze from the S.W., the stern ports on the starboard side were driven in by a sea. It was the windows only that were washed in. The ports had not been let down and secured. The captain would not allow them to be let down, as they darkened his cabin. The captain had been washed out of his berth, and was lying on the floor, unable to help himself, for he was quite intoxicated, and had been iu that state ever since the pilot left the ship ; he had not been once on deck, or had done any duty. The chief officer, Mr. Locke, also got drunk. By six a.m. of the 23d three feet of water was found in the hold, it having found its way through the stern ports. The ship was rolling in the trough of the sea with an increasing gale, with no one at the wheel. The chief mate would not let any of the hands go to it, say ing the ship was old enough to take care of herself. Some of the men set to the pumps. The crew were mostly foreigners, and could not understand English. Soon after the sea broke over the ship, carried away the longboat, two water-tanks, and all the spare spars on deck, and breaking off the main -hatch, allowing every sea to roll down. The crew seeing the state of things would do no more work unless the ship put back to some port. The captain, who was still in his cabin drunk, said he would not put back ; the ship had cost £4,000 re pairs, and he dare not take her back, he would sooner go down in her. The chief mate was in the same state roaming about the deck like a man who had lost his senses, exclaiming ' They would all go to hell together.' By six o'clock the next morning the ship had become a perfect wreck, with six feet of water in the hold, and was fast sinking. Seeing d sail in sight about ten miles distant they went down to the captain and forcibly got him on deck to see the state of the vessel. The chief mate was still below, drunk in his berth. The boats were lowered and he was urged to get in, as the water was increased to nine feet in the hold, the ship not being one foot out of water. The captain agreed to leave the ship, but would wait till the second boat left. Robert How then pushed off in the first boat with 11 hands. The second. officer, G. F. Hill, re mained to bring off the rest. The other boat was soon filled by the remainder of the crew, along with the captain. The chief officer refused to leave the vessel. He was in the cabin, and was over and over again urged to come on deck, but would not ; and it becoming dangerous to remain any longer alongside, the men, eager to save their lives, pulled off without him, and made for the 'sail,' which proved to be the Prussian ship Germania. After they had left the ship some time they saw the mate come on deck and wave his hat to them to return, but they could not. The boats reached the Ger mania, but the second boat in coming alongside capsized, and the captain and four hands were drowned. The people on board the Germania did the best they could to save the drowring men. The captain was caughthold of by a rope twice or thrice, but either through the effects of drunkenness, or from weakness, he could not hold on, and fell out of the rope and sunk below the ship, where his legs got entangled, and when drawn up he was dead. Nothing was seen of the Bloomer after wards. She no doubt soon foundered. The Ger mania arrived at New York on the 24th of May. (Signed) " GEORGE F. HILL, second officer, " ROBERT HOW, Carpenter, late of the British ship Bloomer." The annual dinner of the Newspaper Press Fun , took place on Saturday evening at Willis's Booms, Em Granville presiding. The attendance was numerous, th proceedings intereaing, and the subscriptions announce exceeded XB5O Royal Banquet at Mercers' Hall. On Saturday evening the Masters and Wardens of the Mercers' Company, which ranks first among the 12 principal guilds in the City of London, en tertained his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and a distinguished company at dinner in their cor porate hall, in Cheapside. The Princeis an honorary member of the company, and this being the first oc casion on which his Royal Highness had dined with the Master they resolved to entertain him in a manner consonant with his exalted station, and worthy of the renown of their ancient guild. They invited to meet his Royal Highness, among others, Count Gleichen, R.N., the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Leicester, the Earl of Cardigan, Earl Spencer, the Lord Mayor, Sir George Clerk, the At torney-General, Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, Admiral Sir George Lambert, the lion. George Wal degrave Leslie, M.P., and Alderman Gibbons, Sheriff of London, the whole corn pa,ny being 70 in number. The approaches to the hall and various corridors were lined with a choice selection of plants and flowers of rare beauty and perfume for the occasion, and in other respects charmingly decorated. From the roof of the dining hall banners were gracefully suspended; and at the other end of the apartment a collection of the ancient plate of the company, con sisting of " loving cups," flagons, bowls, and tan kards, was displayed with fine effect. The banquet itself was served with a splendour in every way befitting the occasion, the magnificent plate used by the company on the memorable opening of the Royal Exchange, at the entertainment given to the Queen and the Prince Consort, and which had never since been used, having been brought into requisition in honour of the Prince's visit. His Royal Highnesc, who was attended by Lieut.- General Knollys and Col. Keppel, arrived at the hall a few minutes before 8 o'clock, accompanied by Count Gleichen. A detachment of the Hon. Artillery Company, of which the Prince is colonel, as was also the late Prince Consort, attended as a guard of honour, under the command of Lieut. Jay, and the band of the Royal Horse Artillery played the National Anthem as he alighted. At the entrance his Royal Highness was received by Col. Palmer (the Master) and Mr. John Williams Wat son, Mr. Thomas John Watney, and Mr. Richard Whiteman Fall, the Wardens, with Mr. Henry Eugene Barnes, their clerk, all of whom wore their official robes, and escorted to the Court-room, where the principal guests were afterwards presented to him. His Royal Highness wore the blue riband of the Garter on the occasion. At 8 o'clock the Prince was summoned to the banqueting-hall, the Master and Wardens leading the way. At a later stage of the entertainment, on the removal of the cloth, the Master drank to his Royal Highness and the rest of the guests in a " loving cup." He then gave "Her Majesty the Queen," a toast which was received with every mark of respect. The MASTER., after a pause, said it was his plea sure and duty to propose the health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family. His fel low wardens and himself thanked his Royal High ness for the great honour he had done them in com ing among them. They were proud of the occasion, and his Royal Highness might be assured that he would ever find a loyal friend in every member of the Mercers' Company. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, who was greeted with cheers on rising to speak, said Master, my Lords, and Gentlemen,--I am much gratified indeed by the courteous terms in which the Master has proposed my health and that of the Princess of Wales with the rest of the Royal family, and by the very kind manner in which the toast has been received by the whole company. I need not assure you that it is a source of great satisfac tion to me to be present here this evening, although it is not the first time I have had the pleasure to thank you for having done me the honour to make me a member of this ancient company, and I rejoice to find myself once more in this hall in the capacity of a brother Mercer. (Cheers.) Many distinguished persons have at various times belonged to this great company—among others, my ancestor, Queen Eliza beth and I would also allude to Sir Richard Whit tington and Sir Thomas Gresham. As you all know, Sir Thomas Gresham built the Royal Exchange, and after it was burnt down— and it was twice destroyed by fire--it was rebuilt by the Mercers' Company at their joint expense and that of the city of London. I have also great pleasure in finding that the company has for its present Master a near relative of the Attorney-General. St. Paul's School is so much identified with this ancient guild that I cannot forbear alluding to the connection. The Mercers' Company are the trustees of that great public seminary, and among the many distinguished men who received their education there I may mention John Milton and the Duke of Marl borough. His Royal Highness concluded by again thanking the company for the respect with which they had received him on the occasion. Several other toasts having been given, the meet ing separated. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, June 8. THE ENSUING B.A. COMMENCEMENT. The re,gistrary has informed the prmlectors of colleges that he will require a certificate under the hand of the master of the college, or his locum tenens, showing that the fees due to the university have been regularly paid in the case of every per son who completes his degree at the ensuing com mencement, and that his name is on the boards of his college, before he can add the name of any such person to the register of members of the senate. Betting and Wet thing. The facetious correspondent of the Racing Times writes as follows about "Welchers" and "Bears:"— Betting is a science pursued almost more or less universally by the adult male population of these realms—it is generated in a flexible system of ethics, bymeans of which one person intends to ex tract the circulating medium from the pockets of another with as little trouble as possible. The science is not confined to horse racing, for if it were very little damage would be done as a rule, indeed no practical damage at all provided layers and takers of odds only risked such part of their surplus capital as they could fairly afford, and each party fulfilled his contract. Welching means a course of dealing where one person obtains the money of another under pretence of betting odds, with an actual or implied undertaking to return not only the cash staked and the sum which he has laid to it, ;,but ,when the event has come off deliberately bolting with the whole, and laughing at his victim. This is not by any means a pleasant state of things, and it can scarce be wondered at if the party plundered should take loud and sum mary measure of justice. But just now the whole community is shaking from practices of this kind in business, ultra racing, where .the cause is the same and the result different. I described, in a former article, the unfortunate fate of a poor devil who had victimised some of the smaller town in vestors. A personage of greater weight had been previously tarred with the same brush, and the violence used on that occasion became the subject of inquiry before a criminal tribunal, and very pro perly onl ; tvs\ f , o s r o f if m s e u u e n t: a a n t a h t o l r u o ti u n gh re was di o s pe g nl a y rd to o b f e tholeercaotneid min an empire, showing on the surface the highest condition of public morals, what security could there be for any one if lawless and savage liberty were to take the place of calm and well-established jurisprudence ? This was a case exactly on all fours with what has been going on in the City during the merry month of May. While the alleged I'Velcher was plying his vocation in the ordinary way, receiving. cash and issuing in exchange his small bits of paste board, the public suddenly took alarm. Customers, with or without reason, demand their money back, cause a wild run upon the bank ; the banker cannot, or will not, meet his engagements, and "runs" too —the public run after him, and after a series of brutal attacks, one gentleman from Brummagem, more venturesome than the rest, thrusts both hands in the banker's pockets, brings forth as much coin as he can clutch,and so attempt to gain a preference over ordinary creditors instead of waiting to wind up the concern in the usual manner ; and as a warn ing to indiscreet claimants the Judge consigns the party to durance vile for a month, where, unless Sir George Grey interposes, he is to remain for a great part of June. Snug quarters during the present fine weather. Where is the material difference between the ex- citing scenes in London and larger provincial towns, where stockbrokers have of late years congre gated, and the smaller but not less volatile betting ring ? Both classes are bulls and bears speculating for the rise or fall in much the same way. Settling days come regular on the Exchange and at Knights bridge. The Levant mail is occasionally patronised , from each quarter. A bank is selected for destruc tion. Bears go for its fall•--nefarious machinery is set to work ; all kinds of doubts and distrust are raised to its prejudice—the shares get lower and lower, and before the account has degenerated comparatively to zero the bears make gigantic hauls, and an honest, safe, immense establishment, with branches in the provinces and agencies in dis tant lands, is compelled to close its doors, spreading ruin in many places, and immense temporary in convenience in others, all because unscrupulous per sons have marked, and are daily marking, banks in stead of horses to bet against, and those layers who have the " straight tip" invariably go in and win ! The wide-spread ruin caused by the modern law of limited liability necessarily affects more or less votaries of pleasure of all classes. The more re stricted the liability in some circles the less possi bility there seems of getting accounts squared. My friend, M r. Julius Pyles, a young gentleman of slender means and eccentric betting notions com plained th a t h e h ad deposited small sums in the cool region of Snow-hill, near the ;remains of Skinner street, and that Cox (not the Finsbury celebrity), who formerly carried on business in that busy loca lity, declined to cash up through having been re quired to scrape togethe r every shilling of his small resources for the payment of calls in the General Cat's Meat Company (Li m it e d ), but that he had been advised to summon the defaulter to the great City-hall, vhere summary justice is generally dealt out in such matters, a step in the prudence of which I entirely concurred. Welchers, like mad dogs, are said to have a great antipathy to water, and it is very likely to be true, for I have noticed that race meetings held in aquatic localities are'generally free from these pests.

No event could more clearly show the gift of prophecy, the judgment, the extensive knowledge of its subjects—especially when these subjects are American—possessed by the Times, than the im mense influx of gold from the United States into this country. Our contemporary commenced the year by prophesying all manner of disaster to Great Britain from the excessive and incautious export trade, by which its merchants were permitting the Americans to run up a heavy debt, which they would be unable to pay. We were told these liabilities could not be met, and eventually lead to losses which would end in panic both here and there. Instead, however, of this trade bring ing on the ruin predicted, its effect has been to save England in the most terrible financial collapse experienced within the memory of the present generation. Whatever pays a Yankee to export, that article be will export—whether it be cotton or whether it be gold. Cotton fell and gold rose ; so instead of bales of cotton, boxes of the precious metal poured into Liverpool. So long as America is at peace, the looms of Manchester will never be idle for want of the raw material, nor will the acute American hoard gold if the price in England makes it profitable for him to export it. It is at times like these the advantages of a trade with such a nation are most clearly seen. The Action of Continental Europe was to extract bullion from London in the hour of the greatest pressure, thus aggravating intensely the panic. On the other hand, the action of the United States was to flood this country with her gold in that same hour of her dire distress. When our till here was becoming ex hausted—when our credit was at the lowest ebb, and negotiations were said to have been entered into with France to strengthen the Bank of England, the opportune arrival of millions sterling from New York saved the great commercial mart of the world from suing as a borrower in a foreign country. Here is a contrast between a prophecy and a fact; and here is a contrast between our trade with the United States and Continental Europe. The action of the timid dealers in the latter aggravates the panic by withdrawing gold—the action of the for mer allays the panic by pouring the precious metals into the vacuum thus created. So the cause confi dently predicted by the leading journal as about to create a panic, has allayed one, and that organ has shown itself as little able to appreciate what the effects of the commerce between the nations is likely to be, as it was in predicting to what • the financial measures adopted by the Union during the War were likely to lead. We have not yet seen the crash that was again and again foretold as about to take place in the States. If anything could teach the writers in the Times that they are really igno rant of America and the Americans, we would-sup pose these constant failures would have that effect. The United States cannot be judged from an Euro pean point of view. However right in theory these writers may be, practically there are material dif ferences, which even the statesmen of the Union itself may be unable fully to appreciate, and for which there are no examples to act as a guide—the history of the world producing no parallel to the youth, vigour, and unbounded resources of the great Republic. But though the influx of gold may be of more temporary importance to the com mercial interests here than the influx of American visitors to which we have elsewhere alluded, we hail more joyfully the advent of the people, for we attach the greater importance to the personal in tercourse of the nations than to the interchange of commodities, however opportune may be the ex change for the moment.—Anglo-American Times. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIIE " SPECTATOR" MAKING THE WORST OF IT. — The policy of the Opposition last week was one of trickery and dishonest delay, of affected virtue, of Pharisaic purity, of philanthropic pretension. By this policy they produced a certain tendency to reaction in the public mind, a proud aversion in Earl Grosvenor to act any longer with a manoeuvring party combination concerned not with the interests of reform, but with the interests of a coalition party. Hence the curious and picturesque collapse of Mon day night, when the Tories fled stricken from before their foes without even trying to strike a blow, and the anti--grouping faction of Liberals, led by the gallant Captain Hayter, " beard a rumour and re turned to their own land," and Mr. Gladstone " put a hook in their nose and a bridle in their lips , and ' turned them back by the way they came." But the flight and rout of Monday were nothing to the double rout of Thursday, and again, for the same reason— that in the interval the Tories had been plotting to remedy the defect of their former over-subtlety by still deeper subtlety—to mend up the leaks in the old craft by caulking it, as it were, not with sound timber, but with sponge. Lord Stanley's sudden motion on Thursday night to postpone the con sLomc i ln d oae ru e rt d r esh a eeaG t s i t g o rta roe n ffoms evu o cpent f tnidnoas t gr h t 7s e st hhuofirecrrphai surprise, ehis c ndee h ai, i s s t e r roni ebkd c su l os a t eloi u no s nta e . i es of . e tillylf entirely seats ini en asd a t f .e:eef t oee was rdsa gi i t sbnu h l ga e : ment for dealing w ith thi s t l o a measureutton a . s a T w h hole was unanswerable, but that point had been conceded by the Government ; and it will be of course always in the power of the house, if it find it impossible to pass the whole Bill, to decline on that very ground to pass a mere disjointed fragment. That was not therefore the real drift of Lord Stanley's pro position, which only contemplated inflicting a damaging defeat upon the Government on a matter of form upon which it was thought feasible to rally together all the elements of discontent. For such a party manoeuvre, adopted without the usual fair notice to op ponents, there is no excuse, and Lord Stanley's arrow entered into his own bosom, and his bow was broken. The effect of his defeat by a majority of 27—much the most considerable yet obtained by the Government on this question—will probably be to crush the hopes he had begun to entertain of be coming the leader of a powerful coalition Govern ment. Lord Stanley, usually the most candid and straightforward, if also one of the bluntest of foes, has lowered his own influence. with the House by the part he has taken in this discreditable little ambush, and we shall probably hear of him as a possible Prime Minister no more for the present. But he did more than injure himself, he materially improved the prospects of the Reform Bill. When Mr. Walpole's amendment came before the House, after this damaging defeat, the sense of humiliation was strong upon the Tory strategists, while every true Liberal was sensible of a deeper party impulse, a stronger aversion to desert his own standard, even for the sake of an amendment which some of them thought wise, than has cemented the Liberal party for many years back. Mr. Walpole's amendment for a rating franchise of £2O really meant an occupying fran chise of £24, and that was held by many who would have even preferred a £2O county franchise, decid edly too high. The difference was sufficient in tellectual justification for standing by the Govern , ment, and gratifying the impulse of resentment which the previous Tory trick had excited. Hence it happened that Mr. Gladstone gained in a house of 580 a majority of exactly 14 for the £l4 county franchise which he proposed, and that the prospect of even getting the whole bill through in some shapo or other looks far more . promising for the Liberal leader than at any previous mo ment. The direct tendency of important victories is to attract votes. There is a floating balance of members always anxious to cast their votes with the winning side, and more especially on a Reform Bill —for the position of men going to a new constituency who have opposed the measure which gave its rights to that constituency is by no means agreeable. The result should be a lesson to the Tories on the fatal attempt to express insincerely the most sincere party dislike. They were insincere last week in urging an addition to the bill to prevent bribery; they were insincere in supporting Mr. Clay's educational fran chise; they were only half sincere in their vague condemnation of the grouping; quite insincere in their motion to postpone the consideration of the franchise clauses • till after the redistribution clauses ; and totally at issue with their own policy iu 1859, in voting for Mr. Walpole's motion to establish a £24 county franchise when they had themselves proposed a £lO franchise. Yet their dislike to the bill has no doubt been sincere enough, and probably the judgment of many of their leaders, certainly Lord Stanley's, has been offended by some of its provisions. But instead of attempting to set down the intellectual grounds of their dissent from special provisions, a course in which they had no confidence that they could. get the whole party and the dissatisfied Liberals to concur, they have been devoting all their ingenuity to manufacturing those party traps for doubtful votes which are almost sure to repel and drive away a great many more than they secure. We hope now, that, except, we suppose, an inevitable contest about the borough franchise—though no amendment has as yet, we Ibelieve, been proposed raising th e f ranc hi se to £B,—and after the defeat which we trust will be inflicted on the Conservative t par yin any ~. ~ ~ such attempt to stultify the bill—the- mere party fighting will be over, and the house may devote itself honestly to improving what it will:no longer hope to extinguish. If Lord GroSvenor, after showing his reluctance to defeat the Government, will use his influence to induce it to accept a few practical amendments, there might still be reason to indulge a certain moderate degree of satisfaction in the prospect of a settlement. The grouping should be either amended by the introduction of at least one large non-parliamentary borough into each group, or abandoned altogether, and the requisite number of seats got by taking one seat from each double-seated small borough up to some higher limit of population than the proposed 8,000 --perhap s 10,000 or 12,000 would give sufficient. But the greatest amendment which could now be introduced into the bill, and which, by Lord Grosvenor's in fluence if he would use it, probably would be adopt ed, is one likely to be raised by Mr. Yorke, —to leave the present £lO franchise untouched in all the srarli boroughs, and descend to £7 only where there is. the special sort of working population on account of which the cry for this Reform Bill has arisen. That would not be a party move. Mr. Gladstone could well afford to yield it, if urged by leading men of his own party who have yielded something to him ; and it would certainly do more to prevent the introduction of new evils compensating in some measure the good of the proposed Reform than anY other conceivable modification of the measure. . THE TRUE HEAD CENTRE.—Yesterday week, , says the Spectator, Mr. Whalley made a long spe w ' to prove that Fenianism and Roman Catholicism were " coincident," during the delivery of which address the house kept un a perpetual roar of in terruption, little heeded by the intrepid member for Peterborough, who probably believed the whole House to be instigated by Roman Catholic influence. There were Roman Catholics in the police, Roman Catholics controlling the railways, Roman Catholics at the telegraph, Roman Catholics in the artillery, Roman Catholics everywhere, and all their influence was used for disaffection. Mr. Whalley is an imaginative being, and besides imagi n i ng Roman Catholics in the earth, air, and sea, he ventured to imagine that he had shown " shortly to the satis faction of the house,"—shortly, mind, as well as to the satisfaction of the house—that Roman Catholic übiquity and disaffection had resulted necessarily from the Catholic Emancipation Act—an _. assumption which drew forth a protest so noisy that the intel ligent Chinese in the gallery thought the house was over-exerting itself to amuse them, and did not know how to be grateful enough. At . last, 111 r. Whalley stating that when he went to Ireland to relieve the sufferers by the famine in 1847 he - OS pointed out as a ' miscreant' by a priest at Galli''' . civeeu, the house cheered the priest so much that some one had to move that it be counted, and the Speaker made an appeal to Mr. Whalley to sit down which he did, with the remark that he had " dis" , charged his duty." Mr. Newdegate was much con firmed in his theory that Whalleyism and Romanisni are " coincident," and if this be so, then, as Whal leyism and Romanism are coincident, and Romanis and Fenianism are coincident, Whalleyisin Fenianism are also coincident, and Mr. Whalley probably the true Head Centre.—Q.E.D.
