SECRETARY (pro tem.).—Walter A. Nlchael, Esq. Offices-60, Threadneedle-street. Will also receive Subscriptions. The International Financial Society are authorised to receive Subscriptions for the Share Capital of this Com pany, which has been incorpomted.by Special Act of Par liament 'for the purpose of Utilising the Sewage of the Northern Area'of the Metropolis, the Concession of which has been granted to Messrs. Napier and Hope. The Concession from the Metropolitan Board of Works to Messrs. Ndpier and Hope, as now confirmed by Act of Parliament, is scheduled to the Act, and both may be in spected at the Offices of the Company. The Concession has been vested in the Company on con dition of the payment to Messrs. Napier and Hope, under the provisions of the Act, of £50.,000 .in fully paid-up shares of the Company and a small contingent per-tentage of the net profits. . . The Concession recites that in the opinion of the Board the works proposed by Messrs. Napier and Hope aro cal culated to effect the three following objects, namely :- 1. To divert the Sewage from the Thames. 2. To render it innocuous by its application to growing crops. 3. To realise the groat money value of the manure con tained in it. The first article confers upon Messrs. Napier and Hope " the absolute and exclusive right to and property in the sewage" for a period of 54 years from the passing of the Act, but makes the following provision in reference to the application of the net profits resulting front the scheine after the expiration of four years from the passing of the Act. Previous to the expiration of that period all the profit restilts to the Company. After deduction of th e annua l c h arge f or " money bor rowed," and of the " working and establishment expenses," the net profit shall be applied 1. In payment of interest at 5 per cont. per annum on the share capital. 2. In payment in equal moieties to the shareholders and the Metropolitan Board of the further profits up to 15 per cent. 3. In division of profits exceeding 15 per cent. and up to 25 per cent. between the shareholders and the Metropolitan Board, in the proportion of one-fourth to the former, and three-fourths to the latter. 4. After 25 per cent. the division again to become equal. The (fleet of these stipulations is, that while the Metro politan Board are virtually to receive half the profits, yet, that, in order to give a greater security, and therefore greater value to the shares, the shareholders are to have a preference to the extent of 5 per cent., which is made good to the Metropolitan Board between the points of 15 and 25 per cent., at which latter point each party receives 121 per cent., and the division is then continued equally. Thus, the share capital of the Company derives the advantage of the entire capital, approaching three millions sterling, ex pended by the Board on th e nor th side of the Thames, for the collection of the Sewage at the point of its delivery to the Company. At the expiration of 31 years the Board have the right, on giving two years' notice, to require a revision by arbi tration of the above apportionment of profits. The Concession stipulates for the construction of a circu lar brick culvert, 9 feet 6 inches in diameter, shown by the red line on the accompanying map, and running from the Northern Outfall Sewer to the East Coast of Essex, and further, for the reclamation of the tract of foreshore and sand, coloured pink on the map (about 7,000 acres),the in tention being to irrigate the lands in the district through which the culvert passes, and to utilise the surplus upon the reclaimed land. A contract has been entered into with Mr. Wm. "Webster (who has constructed more than one-third of the main drainage work of the metropolis, including the Crossness Outfall), for the construction of the work mentioned above, together with thenecessary pumping stations, for the sum of £1,853,448. To this must be added the amount to be paid to Messrs. Napier and Hope in shares, as before mentioned, the cost of land, engineering, Parliamentary, and legal ex penses, superintendence, an d management, together with interest at 5 pet cent. per annum on the capital dur in g the construction of the cul ver t, es timated at a total of £ 516 , 552 ; in all £2,400,000. Th e A c t au thorises the Directors to raise the amount of £700,000 in debentures, but of this, as above shown, only £300,000 will in all probability be required. The Company have the right of taking, without any pay ment, during the first four years, as much of the sewage as they can utilise. From this source an immediate return may be obtained, so that the return upon capital during construction should be much in excess of the interest pro vided. On payment on the 2d October next of the £lO per Cer tificate then due the Certificates of £lOO will be exchanged for Registered Shares of £lO each. According to the calculations made the eventual revenue of the Company is estimated at about £720,000, and the working expenses and management at £50,000. Applications in the annexed form should be left with the Bankers, who will not, however, receive any applications unless accompanied by a deposit of £2 per certificate on the number of certificates applied for. In cases where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned in full, and should a smaller number than is applied for be alloted the balance returnable to the applicant will be applied towards payment of the amount due on allotment. In cases where an allotment is made the deposit paid on application will be liable to forfeiture if the balance due on allotment be not paid within the term fixed by the letter of allotment, and the allotment will be liable to cancellation. Default by sub scribers in due payment of the £lO per scrip certificate, pay able on 2d October, 1865, will, in like manner, render the scrip certificates subject to ca nce ll a ti on, and the amount theretofore paid thereon to forfeiture. Prospectus and Forms of Applications may be obtained from the Bankers and Brokers, and at the Offices of the Company, No. 60, Threadneedle-street, E.C., London.

GUILE TO THE QUACKS Or LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the" dedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a sher t pamphlet. The realer of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the,pages of " Punch, " of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noises:Re, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money, by menaces and extortion, from green young men. Far their names, - which " munch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too massy of Mr. Punch's" contemporaries, 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, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphlet above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks ant Quackery." aid is to be had at the " Medical Circular " Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.O. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks auu gackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks ai e published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, be consulting which every young man may know where he may go '.f he wishes to get plundered and deal royed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse yin, wiii , e they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you i'o notwant -it on account of its warnings for your 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.

Yesterday the weather was as favourable as, on the previous day, it had been untoward. Under the exhilarating sunshine the spirit of the camp and the financial prospects of the Association rallied from the depression temporarily resting upon them, and the shooting at the decisive range for the first stage of the Queen's prize progressed vigorously. About 12 o'clock his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange paid a visit to the Common, and, under the guidance of Lord Spencer, spent some hours in l i visiting the different points where competitions of chief interest were going forward. The contest possessing most attraction, for his Royal Highness as well as for the public, was apparently the novel one instituted by Mr. Horatio Ross. In this Lord Aberdeen and Mr. Peterkin were the principal rivals, and the dexterity and skill exhibited by both in complying with the rules of the match showed that to succeed in this peculiar struggle, designed many years ago by Mr. Ross to make successful deerstalkers of his sons, it is necessary to be " to the manner born." The marksmen are probably few in England who could load hastily, run 100 yards, creep, and throw themselves down, and then, with quickened respiration and bounding pulse, succeed in making a bull's-eye or centre, and who, even if they succeeded the first time, could repeat this process so rapidly as to crowd 11 shots and a score of 40 or 42 into the limit of five minutes. Yet this was done yesterday—not once or twice, but over and over again. Lord Aberdeen had evidently set his heart on carrying off the prize, and adopted a hard-workin g costume to favour his movements. Mr. Peterkin's main advantage consisted in a method of snatching up and disposing of the ramrod—a piece of sleight of-hand as perfect as that performed by any con juror. A large and fashionable attendance was drawn together at this point, including, in addition to those already named, Lord and Lady D ue i e, th e count de Gendres, Lady Spencer, Lord Glent worth, &c. At the " Running-deer" range, close to that where Mr. Ross's pupils were taking such liberal exercise, the Prince of Orange distinguished himself by obtaining a couple of bull's-eyes. The result of the competition for the first stage of the Queen's Prize was looked forward to all day with strong and natural curiosity, regard being had to the fact that nineteen-twentieths of the competitors are released from attendance in camp as soon as the score is finally made up. The state of the atmos phere on Thursday threw out many whose chances of getting, at any rate, into the 60 had previously looked very hopeful; yesterday's fine weather, again, brought to the front others who stood almost on the brink of despair. Perhaps the greatest annoyance experienced was that of a Volunteer who had scored ' 41 points, and still had two shots in reserve. Ac cording to the information disclosed by the returns up that moment, if his shots found their way on to the target at all he was certain of the silver medal and £5O but, whether from nervousness or owing t t az o egeer:,aian puffs and he f e o w fell i) n o k d , th b o a t h m shotsormere placefl e w among wide of the th e 60 best shots. In the end his disappointment was less bitter than he had imagined, because 47 points were made by two competitors in the afternoon, a total which he must have made centres to equal and s o - n eyes arteo three of Nitsorrtelpiarmespetnotnastih.virese included s ind eLer in y foremost e s in a satisfied e s dh shots, with tts of position thes e n in e is the list. N bu o ll t ' himself. f He did not content himself, as he have done, with his position, of Lord of the mighttrs h e roll o n er th of Manor and member of the Council of the National Rifle Association, to the duties of which office since the commencement of the meeting he has devoted unceasing attention, but as major of the Ist North ampton Regiment, he entered the lists with the rank and file of the Volunteers, and gained the fine score of 41 points, which entitles him to one of the badges of the Association, and in virtue of this t o compete in the second stage of her Majesty's Prize. Some time before the conclusion of the firing it was announced that Mr. Ed ward Ross, of the London Scottish, the well known first winner of the Queen's Prize, had made the excellent score of 47 marks. He was tied, how ever, by Captain H. Holme, of the 18th Somerset ; but, by the plan adopted this year for deciding ties, namely, giving priority to the competitor making the best score at the longest range, Mr. Ross was declared the winner. The following analysis of tho scores last year will, by ,conwaxison with the sub joined scores, enable the curious in rifle shooting to see how closely the best results in both years ap proximate. In 1864 the first thirty competitors were made up of three scores of 47, one of 46, four of 45, six of 44, twelve of 43, and four of 42. The second thirty consisted of 16 scores of 42 each, and 14 of 41 each. The remaining forty, to make the 100, who took prizes in connection with the first stage of the Queen's, was composed of 16 scores of I 41 marks each, and 24 of 40 marks each. The competition for the 150 cup given by the Daily Telegraph developed some admirable shooting with the Government weapon and ammunition. Two competitors made 19 each, or only one mark less than the highest possible score—shooting that would be no disgrace to a small-bore. There were several 18's, and numerous 16's and 17's. The Volunteer Service Gazette Prize, at 800 yards, was intended originally to show what the Enfield would do at that range ; but improved ammunition has been allowed, and the shooting has been propor tionately improved. Mr. Bass's Prize for volunteers not hitherto successful at Wimbledon or at county meetings was very warmly contested, and the result showed that the want of suc cess of the competitors up to the present. had not arisen from want of skill. Some excellent shooting was made in all the other competitions, as the sub joined list of official scores will show : FIRST STAGE, QUEEN'S. Private E.

Ash's Patent Piston Freezing Machine. Undoubtedly one of the greatest improvements in the method of producing dessert ices, &c., &c., is the Piston Freezing Machine and Wino Cooler, patented by Mr. Ash, and manufactured by Mr. Geo. Simpson, at 315, Oxford street. A few days ago we availed ourselves of the in vitation of Mr. Ash to inspect his machine and process of making ice, and, we candidly confess, a more interesting exhibition we never attended. Whether the fact that, with the thermometer standing at 80 in the shade, we were supplied with a delicious lemon ice in less than seven minutes from the piston machine had anything to do with the pleasing performance, we leave others to imagine. The new machine is exceedingly simple, and so easy is the process that the merest tyro can produce his own ice with but a few minutes' agitation of the piston, moulded and quite in condition for the table, and all in one process. The old mode of producing dessert ice, it must be con fessed, was a troublesome and oftentimes a vexing per formance, because, after all your labour, it frequently oc curred that you got your ice either lumpy, flaky, or snowy; but all this is entirely obviated, and now, instead of being confined to the production of ono sort of ice, it is an easy task to produce from ono ma chine, and at one operation, two, or even four, distinct and different sorts. In order to produce results, when rough ice cannot easily be had, Mr. Ash has discovered a chemical freezing powder, which can be obtained in any quantity at a very cheap rate, and thus the resident at Calcutta or Madras can have his dessert ice, provided ho possesses one of Ash's machines, as readily as if he had the rough material at his command, becauSe, the ingredients composing the freezing powder, viz., saltpetre, sal ammoniac, and coin monsoda are indigenous to our Indian empire. The pro duction of artificial ice has hitherto been far from cleanly and altogether a laborious performance, but with the new machine, which can be easily carried from place to place in a small hamper, all objections aro surmounted, in proof of which, if it was required, the cook could produce his ice pudding on the dining table, and without one spot soiling the table cloth. We have said the process is easy, and by way of illustration we may mention that whilst we wore at Mr. Simpson's establishment a lady came for the first time to inspect the machine, and in five minutes she produced a beautiful moulded piece of solid ice, much to her own amazement and that of the company by whom she was surrounded. The invention is an exceedingly clever one, and doubtless it will entirely supersede the antiquated pro cess now in use, because the Piston Freezing Machine is cheap, portable, and reliable. Court Life in Mexico. The Mexican correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following picture of the Court of the Emperor Maximilian : During the winter the Empress has given a number of splendid receptions, at which the wealth and elite of the capital assisted. These occur in the spacious suites of saloons in the palace fronting upon the plaza, of which the grand cathedral forms the western side. The apartments, opening into each other and extending several hundred feet, are illuminated with chandeliers and richly furnished. On such occasions the throne-room is opened, and forms a part of the brilliant scone. In this, besides several fine paintings of the Emperor and Empress, Napoleon 111., Eugenie, and others, is a full-length one of Washington, decidedly the largest and most imposing of all. The orchestra, which is placed in the western apartment; is composed of Austrians, who certainly do justice to the occasion. The Empress enters the ball room by a private door, accompanied by her maids of honour, and passes leisurely down on the side of the ball, where the ladies are standing to receive her, pausing here and there to speak with those she particularly recognises, preceded by a dame d'honaeur, who names in succession those ladies who are to be presented. The same formality is observed on the gentlemen's side where one of the chamberlains performs the ceremony of presentation. This being over the dancing begins. The Empress usually sails through one or two cotillions during the ball, which com mences about nine and closes at two or half an hour later. The dresses of the ladies(always in the last Parisian mode) are in many instances of exceeding richness, with a sur prising profusion of jewellery, particularly diamonds. The dress for gentlemen is black cut-away coat, black pants, vest at discretion, white gloves, white cravat, and pa tent leather boots or shoes. Military officers appear in full uniform. The blending of the rich regimental; of Austrians, French, and Belgians, with the floating silks, and airy indescribable, of the Mexican belles, produces a peculiarly beautiful effect. The Empress is about 23 years of age, stately in form, and a graceful dancer. In an assem blage, of which I should think 200 were ladies, she was the tallest. Beyond some fabulous lace, and a necklace of splendid diamonds as large as hazelnuts, I took no notice of the dress, preferring to leave to some practised Jenkins the congenial task of a more particular description. Be tween the sets her Majesty and ladies of honour arise, which is the signal for all to do the same, and another short round of social little presentations follow. The Emperor exhibits on these occasions a cordial familiarity among those with whom he wishes to converse. Maximilian speaks hi fluently six languages. He is particularly pas address, has the air of a student, and wears ill ds fri (natural or cultivated, I cannot say which) n a as do his affable manners. Ho is tall and commanding n lee d on a i n vne d gr g sina e t n i i o al smile, which wins for him as many in form, is 36 years of Emperor. At midnight t ag he e and looks v great , supper r hallee inch thrown the ta open nd their Majesti es lead the way to a vast decorated with most perf ec t taste, loaded onn s p v r i o th dn e co ve o r r y pa de l l a i t c n ac c y ra t T h e a , t refinement ex quisite Frenche wines brought by the Emperor fr om E urope, ' w hile the board groans with the most superb silv er ware an d porcelain, bearing the Imperial arms. It is not easy t o st' and c cu i s ine conceive greater richness, profusion, or refined taste th an s here displayed. Their Majesties presently retire, when the affair relaxes a little from its state formality, and offi cers and civilians vie in their attentions to such ladies as have not followed the Imperial couple. Carlotta is decidedly and indisputably handsome. The eyes and forehead are full of intellect, and in conversation the face lights up with a smile that indicates a pure and kind heart. There is at times, however, a kind of hauteur in the expression, which, though it perfectly becomes the Empress, detracts a little from the winning sweetness which characterises the fine oval face. Every feature evinces' talent, intelligence, firmness, and, above all, ambition. The cousin of Queen Victoria, the daughter of the King of Bel gium, the granddaughter of Louis Philippe, the best blood of Europe courses in her veins, and having been arce brought up in the English Court, she fills her station with: he augustg dignity, and self-posses s i on i nse p ar able .from h society she has seen from childhood.
