POT. ,The large returns u R po SPE n capital S invested in Petroleum lauds in America have induced the formation of the present Chapany' that English capit a li s t s may part i c i pate i n the great advantages to be derived from these lucrative invest taents. Th e mos t competent judges affirm that the oil re : so nrces of W es t Virginia are far superior to those of Penn sylvania; s y l vania; the oil, being lubricati ng an d o f grea t er spe :I._ gravity, i s more valuable for commercial and manufae Purposes. The Directors bearing in mind the fact that it is more desirable to purchase property where oil is known to and x i.., , .., and si n k th e i r own wells, rather than to purchase Aul uPon which the existing provisional be partially ex hausted, contract to pur have entered into a ch_ase 300 acres in fee simple, together with the leases for ? Years, at a roy a lt y o f one- fif t h o f the oil, of 540 acres, sit uate in th e counties of Calhoun, Putnam, Ritchie, for the sten of £51,000. The lands thus secured are in the heart of tiTh Petroleum district of Western Virginia, are surFouiided 11)1.3:thobiiiinvrells, and all exhibit the best surface indications. omitg Oil Springs abound on them. They are also well slated as regards transit. onsequence of the ready sale which is found for the the well's mouth, the Directors propose to partially adopt the American system of declaring dividends ; and bthef.efore, after the wells are sunk, they have taken power . 1 / the Articles of Association to divide the profits every , tee 0, months. v ai . yi ll n is almost invariably struck in this region at depths ti,, g from 150 to 250 feet. The rock being compara-_ th,:q easy of excavation, wells are sunk at less than half _cost of tho oil wells of Pennsylvania. ztrfifteen Directors propose to commence operations by sinking . wells, ;, and assuming that ten only out of the fifteen Av e „_ . ° (4, , and taking this Company's interest at the low b e - ,•"'Ke ef 15 barrels - per day for each well, the yield will - duso barrels per day, which at the selling price, on the 3 t?o f 10 dollars rb el will be 1,500 dollars ; or, de t7'ting for exchange one-third, 1,000 dollars in sterling -8.£200 Per day, or £6,000 per month. If we deduct from k a ,! s Per cent. for labour, wear and tear of machinery, --gei nent, &c., it leaves a margin of £54,000 per annum, or about 78 Per cent. per annum on £70,000, which is the amount intended to be called up at present. Bt.it ilat the Directors have not indulged in exaggerated Ilaiettlaelits may be seen by the fact that many wells in the .;i.. ed States are now y ielding from 500 to 1,500 barrels of per dav A vs e lies3 f2 : l : vo a r r lit g lvill y be seen by tl Hillyer's Petroleum ~.'l _ , ierdee that there are at present in America 342 Com- Petroleum, with a nominal capital . of of front ' 500 1 and that many of them are paying dividends 4 . ~, 20 e cribed ' "-• Per cent. per month upon the capital sub title Directors have secured the services of Mr. John riCla: thef Birmingham, as Managing Year s i i experience of Mr. Horton, extending.

The following is the full text of the French Em peror's proclamation to the Arabs, of which a sum mary only has appeared. We translate it from the Moniteur du Soir of this day (10th inst.) : " When, 35 years ago, France placed her foot upon the African soil, she did not come to destroy the nationality of a people, but, on the contrary, to enfranchise that people from a secular oppression ; she has replaced the Turkish domination by a more mild, just, and enlightened government: Neverthe— less, during the first years, unwilling to submit to any foreign supremacy, you fought your liberators. Far be the thought from me to stigmatize that conduct as a crime—on the contrary, I honour the sentiment of chivalrous dignity which induced you, before you submitted, to invoke by arms the judg mentf tdhees,designs nj decreesskf co G f yt o eo d onu . e2aßodus Providence,G to centuriesod welfare whichg s o p o o k üb e i r n ny ; ai its s a ec d m et: ,es iytv i os t i rt en , s g t r aoo e suun mysterious hopes and thwarting our efforts. courageously resisted a foreign invasion, and, never theless, their regeneration dates from their defeat. The vanquished Gauls assimilated themselves with the Roman conquerors, and from the forced union between contrary virtues of two opposed civilisations there sprang into life, in time, that French nation ality which, in its turn, has spread its ideas through out the universe. Who knows that the day may not arrive when the Arab race, regenerated and amalga mated with the French race, may not recover a powerful individuality similar to that which for cen turies made it master of the southern coasts of the Mediterranean ? " Accept these accomplished facts. Your Prophet says—' God gives power to whom he pleases' (chap. ii., verse 284). Now, the power which I hold from Him, I wish to exercise in your interests and for your welfare. " You know my intentions. I have irrevocably placed in your hands the right of property of the lands which you possess ; I have honoured your chiefs, respected your religion ; I wish to increase your welfare, to make you participate more and more in the administration of your country, as also in the benefits of civilisation ; but it is on the con dition that, on your part, you will respect those who represent my authority. Tell your misguided brethren that to attempt new insurrections will be fatal to them. Twelve millions of Arabs cannot re sist 40,000,000 Frenchmen. A struggle of one against 20 is madness. Moreover, you have taken the oath of allegiance to me and your conscience, as well as your sacred book, commands you religiously to observe your engagements. (Chap. 8, on repen tance, verse 4.) " I thank the great majority of you, whose fidelity has not been shaken by the perfidious coun sels of fanaticism and ignorance. You have under stood that, being your Sovereign, I am your pro tector ; all who live under our laws have an equal right to my care.

This change of venue would probably take place under the pro visions of the statute known as " Palmer's Act."

" The Quacks and their Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Broadside on Quacks and Quackery." GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Cit cuter," with the• signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The realer of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. Ile has of ten read, in the pages of "Punch," of cc rtain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too mairy of Mr." Punch's" contemporai ies, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, n-_edfut to be hnown, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelatkns of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medic ii Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous g ins of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are Hilly set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as afork said, the names of the Quacks arc publishes. The pamphlet ia question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. by consulting which every young man may know where be may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " evelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke you , indignation and disgust. 01 course you do not want it on account of its warnings for you own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint . - ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"

A power was committed to the hands of the literary class which was committed to no other, and he was bound to say that that power tended very much to justice. He might say, as a public man, that he believed that the criticism to which all public men were subject had a wholesome effect. It was not favourable to the development of individual character, but it was favourable to general action according to the rules of good sense. The influence of literature, also, had a great effect in securing us from panics. This had been recently illustrated in the case of the Russian epidemic, and of the assassination of President Lin coln. In the former case alarm might have greatly tended to produce all the ill effects which were ap prehended, but by means of a few questions, and in consequence of the facilities which men of science now possessed for communication, alarm was dissi pated almost as soon as it was aroused. In the latter case, but for the means of spreading information which now existed, the most exaggerated ideas might have prevailed in America as to the real character of the crime which had been committed ; men might have whispered words of terror into each other's ears, and the apprehension might, and probably would, have grown up that the murder of. Mr. Lincoln was the result of a conspiracy including all classes of society. Under the process of sifting which now went on by the:help - of the world of letters, every man Contri buting his theory or statement, the crime would sink to its proportions, and he trusted that it would be found that it Was the act of one or two men, and that the brave and generous people of the South who had suffered so much in this war had not been in the slightest degree implicated in it. (Loud applause.) Passing from these general considerations to the more immediate subject of their meeting, he could not imagine any occupation more honourable than an honest and independent literary man. There must be a pleasure beyond ail other intellectual pleasures in being able to count beforehand upon a thousand, or ten thousand, readers, whose hearts would beat sympathetically with yours, and whose opinions would be formed upon yours, so that your utterance would become part of the world's heritage, and would last, in the common sense of mankind, from generation to generation. Think of the little work of Thomas a Kempis, translated into a hundred languages, and sold by millions of copies, and which in the inmost moments of deep thought men made the guide of their hearts and the friends of their closets ; or take the case of Sir W. Scott, who him self suffered greatly from literary toil. Surely it must have been a great pleasure to him to think that he had solaced many a sick bed, lightened the tedious hours of recovery, and presented agreeable pictures of life to-those who might be disposed to despond or to despair. Take one of our own poets, Tennyson, for example, whose great excellence it was that he had poetized the life of the 19th century. Must it not be a source of great satisfaction to him to know that his works would be read by tens of thousands of readers, and that the thought which struck him as the best and truest would become the best and truest to thousands of people who would repeat them and love them ? (Applause.) Let them now go to the other side of the picture. Because the position of the literary man was so lofty there was a reverse to the medal. Because his privileges were so high his career was attractive, and many persons embarked upon it who failed in their endea vours after success. Their wine might be very good, but it had not the special aroma and flavour which were necessary to secure it appreciation. They failed to gain the sympathy of their readers, and soon found that they had made a grand mistake as to their avocation. More than that, a man's faculties , must decay, and he might become unable to work, or one who liad worked hard all his life, and although able to support himself had not been able to make a provision for those whom he loved, might be taken away. These were all cases in which this fund would come into operation. At a meeting in another place the other day he heard a gentleman say that all charity was either useless or positively mischievous ; if it went in aid of the parish rates it was useless, and if it did not it was altogether mis chievous. Having had considerable experience of the working of charities ho could not at all agree with that declaration. It was often impossible for literary men to piovide for their families ; and he could not admit that indoor relief in the workhouse was the proper and only resource of the widows and children of those who had instructed us, amused our leisure, and improved our lives. In the case of bodily labour no man could go on working after the limbs absolutely required rest, but with regard to mental labour the case was different. Thebrain could unfortunately be coaxed to go on working until it died, and there were hundreds and hundreds of cases of men in this teeming city who were working their brains to death, and who if they were told they ought to rest would reply that the system under which they were working was so constituted that rest was impossible. Society was responsible for the exist ence of that system. It insisted upon having its daily paper, and you could not seize upon the man who wrote the leaders, or who reported, and tell him that he was imprudent because he did the work which his position absolutely required of him. In his opinion as applied to cases arising out of cir cumstances and conditions such as those to which he had alluded charity was neither mischievous nor useless. In consequence of his being called upon to take the chair upon that occasion he had had the opportunity of inquiring into the operations of this corporation and becoming acquainted with the cases in which assistance had been given, and he was pre pared to say that, so far as he could judge, the charity of the society had in all cases been bestowed upon deserving objects. The late Mr. Thackeray, who was a friend of his, had adorned the Charter house by his description of one of the poor brethren now departed, Colonel Newcome. He was himself a governor of the Charterhouse, and was desirous that the persons who obtained the advantages of that foundation should be chosen from the class for whose benefit it was originally intended, and from which Mr. Thackeray appeared to have supposed that they were selected. It was, therefore, his in tention as soon as a vacancy came to him to consult the secretary of this corporation, and if he could name a real literary man who would accept the pre sentation he sliould mark his sense of the honour which had been done him by his selection to preside upon this occasion by appointing him one of the poor brethren of the Charterhouseto succeed Colonel Newcome. (Applause.) The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, and subscriptions to the fund were afterwards announced to the amount of upwards of £l,OOO. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE proposed " The Health of the Chairman," which was most cordially received, and briefly acknowledged by the most rev, prelate. Mr. GOSCUEN propose " The Literature of Eng land," coupling with the toast the name of the Dean of Westminster. The Dean of WESTMINSTER, in responding, dwelt upon two peculiarities of English literature—one that, while the literature of other countries, such as Italy and Spain, had flourished for a time and then come to an' end, there had in England been several successive periods at which literature had reached a high pitch of excellence, and at all of which, though differing materially in each, it was intimately iden tified with the life and character of the nation ; and the other that the literature of our time, al though still maintaining the insular indepen dence which marked our character, had become more cosmopolitan than it was formerly, and had in different branches been materially influenced by the literature of France and Germany.

The anniversary festival of the Royal Literary Fund was held last night at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, when about 100 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The Archbishop of York occupied the chair, and among those present were the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Sheffield, the Bishop of Carlisle, Mr. D. F. Fortescue, M.P., the Dean of Westminster, Mr. B. Westhead, M.P., Mr. Goschen, M.P., the Astronomer Royal, Dr. Livingstone, Pro fessor Plumptre, M. Vambery, and Messrs. Locker, A. Michie, IL Bell, C. C. Hoskyns, Matthews, Q.C., and Otto Qoldschmidit, &c. After the removal 'of tlie cloth, The Most Rev. CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of " The Queen," said that although circumstances had deprived her Majesty's subjects of the oppor tunity of seeing her as frequently as they might desire, it would be a great mistake to suppose that her seclusion was accompanied by any indifference to public affairs or to the interest of her subjects. On the contrary, her Majesty's interest in all that concerned the welfare of her people had, if possible, been increased by the loss which she had herself sustained. s v l e ather t 0 The toast was r ece i ved with the utmost cordiality, a a wa s s also nd that oe rest " f Tthhee R P e r y in a c l e Fa a nail nd y. P ” rincess of In proposing the latter toast the CHAIRMAN acknowledged the important service which had been rendered to this corpo r ation by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who 'd prem ed at the annual dinner last year, and who had the satisfaction of knowing that many cases which would otherwise have been undealt with had been relieved out of the munificent contributions which his presence had secured for the fund. The toast of " The Church" was proposed by Mr. D. FORTESCUE, and acknowledged by The Bishop of CARLISLE, said that not the least reason w hi c h had induced who ed him to attend the dinner was a feeling o f loyalty to the most rev. pri mate, to the ability and success of whose adminis tration of the province which had been committed to his charge he bore willing and ample testimony. The CHAIRMAN, In, - • p'-'Posing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal Literary Fund," said that he ,-- 1 e d.rticular y desired to guard himself a "...ist being supposed to entertain any notion of patronising literature. Literature had now become so great a power that anything like its patronage was entirely out of the question. It preached to us, taught us, and made laws for us, or, at all events, suggested them, and they were then enacted by the proper authority. It tried men, and severely— sometimes too severely—punished delinquents. Now and then it appealed to public justice on behalf of some one against whom public opinion had pressed too strongly, and procured his acquittal. It worked great social reforms, and it delighted us with the contemplation of fictitious characters, and in that way almost pushed the actor who used to monopo lise that function off the stage. This power, as an aggregate one, was a thing of quite modern date. We were accustomed to speak of the Elizabethan era as the most glorious in English history, but there was then no community, Commonwealth, or republic of letters such as now existed. A friend of his said to him the other day that no member of the House of Commons told the whole truth upon any question; yet after a long debate in thathouse, and after suggestions from all sides, there remained no part of the subject that had not been explored. In the same manner, although no individual writer might tell the whole truth upon any subject, by the combined exertions of all writers it came to be fully discussed and completely explained, and thus a common sense of mankind was formed which no single individual could create, but of which every individual might reap the ad vantage. Let them conceive for a moment the good effects which arose from this constant and searching criticism, which was so all-pervading that nothing passed without being thoroughly examined by per sons who were competent to the task. In the first place it was a great means of our education. We were being educated daily. Every hour of travel, every interval of leisure, every spare five minutes was now occupied by reading. Nor was this confined to the privileged classes; literature was now so cheap • - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER RACES WEDNESDAY. THE CUP DAY. Wo must do the holiday-Makers of the North of Eng land the justice to say that no weather, however bad, is allowed to interfere with the enjoyment of their special carnival, as Chester Cup-day has not inaptly been called, The rain that fell all day yesterday promised to do the same to-day, but thero was no diminution in the living stream that poured into the quaint old city by road and rail from an early hour, making locomotion in its narrow streets "a difficulty, and filling the air with a Babel of tongues and dialects, among which the strong north-coun try burr was strongly - prominent. Bnt the features of the Cup-day have been too often told to need repetition. Sufficient to say, they were all here on this occasion. The, Cup had been declared—as it always is now, by the way—an open race soon after the weights appeared. With the exception of the furore about Lord Zetland, who, it was asserted, was " thrown in," there was no early spring favourite, and it has been a dull betting race until the de cision for the Two Thousand gave speculators time to turn their attention to this important race. Helen, a mare be longing to Mr. Barber, and whose public form has been so indifferent as to warrant the supposition that her head had never been loosened, suddenly, on the strength of a wonder ful trial with the Clown, Sidewind, and the Tartar, sprang into notice, and at the close of the Newmarket week be came first favourite. This position she held until yester day, when the bad figure cut by two of her trial horses in the day's running, coupled with the very heavy state of the ground, drove her back, and Ackworth took her place- This, with the coming of the Highflyer's dam colt last night, and the strong favour awarded to Buckfoot this morning, were the only changes of importance. The saddling paddock was of course densely crowded, and the stock-taking of the various competitors elicited the usual diversity of criticism. All looked in the perfection of condition, the palm being awarded by common consent to Victorious, Ackworth, Lion, and La Toucques, though it was difficult to particularise where all were deserving of approbation. The last feature in the betting before the flag fell was the forward position held by the Highflyer's dam colt, who trod closely upon Helen's heels, as little as 5 to 1 being taken about him. Owing to the long delay at the post, we have only time to say here that Helen ran very well to the last turn home, that Ackworth did not ap pear to be able to run on the heavy ground, that there was flwy was an s dam ex c co it n in si g de o ra ne bl be e t tai we lin en g, th an e d th t r h e a e t t p h la e ce fi di nal th s e tru ll g i g g l h e colt winning in the last few strides by a neck. _ _ Tho Members' Plate of 60 soya, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sous each for 2-yr-olds and upwards, with maiden al lowances.

After running a few strides Stanton, as usual, rushed to the front and made play, Creslow going on second, Flying Horse third, and Love Letter next, The Clown and the Miss Bowzer colt lying off. Those positions were retained past the stand, but on making the workhouse turn Flying Horse drew up and followed the leaders to the bridge turn, whero he was joined by The Clown, the latter under wait ing orders until they entered the straight, whero ho crept up, and catching Stanton at the stand won easily by three parts of a length.

On passing the Stand, Grinder rushed past his horses and took a decided lead, evidently for the purpose of serving the favourite; Macbeth, with Helen at his side, following next, close up with whom came Leprechaun, and several lengths in their rear Lion, Buck foot, the favourite, and Boumise, La Toucques lying in close company ; the last mentioned at the start still holding their rearward position. As they entered the Canal turn the lead ing horses became widely spread, and even at this early pe riod of the race, what with the severity of the pace and tilt• deep state of the ground, the field became much scattered. They proceeded with trifling changes into the straight, where Grinder began to give evidence of defeat, and as they came past the Stand the socondtime he gave place to Helen, who, as they rounded the Workhouse turn, took a decided lead, closely attended by Leprechaun, Highflyer's dam colt, La Toucques, Ackworth, and Soul:also. On reaching the half-mile post the Highflyer's dam colt ran up to Helen and raced with her, Buckfoot following close in their wake into the distance, where Helen was completely beaten, leaving Mr. Bennett's colt with a slight lead of Lepre chaun, the pair be i ng joined half way up by Buckfoot, a 1.... fairiv_ta MI• .00 t i T ,516 • jr rftro oi'' 3 1 i Pt' te .
