The facetious correspondent of the Racing Times writes h o a v n e the eci ab u o e v n e t ly esubjectl alledas a f o t t l follows o n : — to various public channels through which were dispensed by a multitude of prophets apparently true methods of realising rapid fortunes • without any very serious trouble or outlay. Are these sources reliable ? There has generally been shown by the modern Anglo-Saxon race a strong desire to begin where their ancestors left off—in other words, an anxiety to gain the summit of wealth's ladder without troubling themselves to ascend the several steps with care and safety, and the sporting portion of our extensive population can, if they will, answer the question with little difficulty, assuming that it comprises patrons of advertising soothsayers, else the strange medley pervading the columns of your sporting contemporaries day by day must in reality be merely so many myths. It does not necessarily follow that backing horses is the sole mode of acquiring independence, but when we see mendacious statements daily persevered in that double events are certain of realisation, that £BOO can infallibly be secured about once in a fort night or so by entrusting one of the Nemo family with a single sovereign, it would seem that no finance, or hotel, or discount, or other corporation, or company limited, or otherwise, ever possessed an ything like the chances held out by the vulgar tipster, and the success of what is called the South clown fortnight appears on paper so extraordinary that the theme " Winning made easy" is undoubted. This is how the picture is draw n on paper ; now for the reality. I consulted a tipster confidentially about Brighton—he was, or affected to be, up to everything for those stormy couple of days, and, after due conside ration;said," There is two things, Violent and Cannon Ball; when you'ave Fordham upon St. Vincent's hoss back him, hat I don't think much about the other." I was not in any violent humour, and knowing that a Cannon Ball, when once fairly started, generally goes at a rattling pace, I tried my luck, and for the 15th Biennial took half a dozen pounds to four, which, as the lawyers say, Were lost to me, my heirs and assigns for ever, and this notwithstanding Fordham was up. Keeping my eye on the colours, I found the great Jock again in command of the artillery for the Nursery ; his Powder was dry, and therefore it seemed there was a capital chance of bringing myself comfortably home, as twenty's were offered, so I . popped down in my little book 100 to 5 about the animal ; but somehow or other modern warfare altered the usual state of things, and Cannon Ball was nowhere. On the following day the noble lord, who was all in the fiery way, started Brimstone, but, as Fordham was not up, and 10 to 1 laid freely on the horse, I did not venture. Reflecting, however, on the mere mention of Violent, I thought the time bad arrived to sport a trifle on the filly, but as 3 to 1 was freely laid on her for the Club Stakes, it seemed to be really buying money, and so I waited for the Claret, and was obliged to lay the same odds on her. King Christian easily walked in, and my favourite was nowhere. It will be admitted that this was an unlucky condition of things, and, in the present hard times, enough to discourage any Greenhorn, particularly one of moderate experience like myself. Winning was, therefore, a difficult operation, and. I had enough of Brighton without attempting anything at the great county town of Lewes ; but, on com , paring notes, in the evening, while waiting ter a game of pool, I found a man, in no better position than myself, although he had patronised a great Manchester circular, the proprietor of which had been so extensively courted, that, out of the vast amount of small sums contributed by a generous public, he had amassed sufficient to build a large number of houses in the great city of cotton and smoke, forming a couple of streets, one of which he had dubbed "Stamp Terrace" and the other " Mug Row," the former in grateful remembrance of the number of stamps received, and the latter in com pliment to the class who sent them I On looking casually at the entries for the Great Autumn Events at Newmarket, Tormentor stands No. 1 for the Cesarewitch, and Freedom finishes the list. Public form has recently been much tor mented politically, 'freedom being the goal which has professedly been aimed at. Alpha and Omega are both three-year-olds, and from the horses be tween them the winner may be picked out. For the Cambridgeshire, Affidavit heads the entry, and Prince of Wales concludes it. The former is daily patronised by lawyers, and the latter well known as a comfortable trump card, likely to get through this sublunary existence 'as pleasantly as most men or horses either. 4,000 to 1 may be got about the double event, and so I mean to make an attempt to court fortune by selecting-Surney for the first and Mail Train for the second, in the hope that both may be lightly weighted, and afterwards accept and catch the judge's eye first ; thus will the commenc ing chapter of " Winning made easy" be launched, and the peculiar advantage to careful sportsmen is that-I impart the information without even the cost of a stamped directed envelope ! In all kinds of betting or matters of risk be sure to lay a firm foundation, or you may discover losing to be much more likely than the other thing. Supposing you are asked to embark your cash in some future Strand or Inns of Court Hotel Company, Alexandra-park, or other kindred certainties, take stock, and see whether capital may not be more profitably employed elsewhere- The winning game is generally on the cards of life, and expert players have the better chance of realising, for it matters little whether you are a prophet or a commission's agent, a billiard sharper or a stock jobber, a minor canon, or a missionary. Money, the great idol of Mammon, is the fulcrum upon which most things turn, and the possession of wealth, however acquired, is sure in the long run to command that amount of outward attention as agreeable to its owner as applause is to the young actor. Luck and judgment are two very essential parts of needful stock in trade. The schem ing idler has only to attempt conspicuous buzzing in the great hive of human industry, and he will gradually enlist that countenance and support of weaker members who are prone to be led away ; but there is always a strong under current in which the old leaven of loaves and fishes will slowly but surely rise to the surface, letting out the fact that the masses are done by the shallow empirics who surround them on every side. A fashionable Nonconformist, who, prophesies the end of the present dismal state of things within a limited period, and retails his book at the moderate figure of seven and six, is neither better nor worse than the hidden tipster who merely wants a simple shilling for his " circular." The one being just as trustworthy as the other, both of the same actual moral value,when measured by the standard of ordinary intellect, and both playing, commercially, an artful and a winning game ? As modern improvement's shine with greater splendour than the homely acts of our predeces sors, so the present system of extracting honey without destroying its makers is better than the old ungrateful practice of killing the bees. It is really a matter of no moment whether our gracious avroicl g u were tn +a T or reside at Calcutta, or whether a Whig or a Tory 'Administration guides the helm of State, if you fail to pay whatever taxes are imposed the broker Nv ill take stock of your chairs and tables ; and although it is a well - known fact that portions of our civic population grumble at the Bank charging 10 per cent., far greater numbers would not have the slightest objection to pay 15, or more, and take as much at that rate as the Old Lady can conveniently spare. Any attempt to enumerate within your limited space the various modes resorted to by those who are ever on the look out, and contrive to raise the wind without hard work, would be as difficult in a sporting point of view as to expect your grand mother to unravel the mysteries of " Bradshaw." A clear head, prudent and temperate life, strict honour and probity, combined with industry, will enable each in his sphere to pass on pleasantly, and acquire the art of " Winning made Easy." America as an Ally. Cornelius O'Dowd is a pleasant, truthful writer, and in this month's number of Blackwood takes his text from an articlo in the Pall Mall Gazette, styled—" America as an Ally." Corny begins with a frank confession of his owu error. " I go," he says, " with every word of the Pall Mall paper, and not entirely without some sins of the kind on my conscience. I recognise what mischief mere petulant and snappish remarks on national traits have done to the good understanding between America and ourselves." We complain of something beyond snappish and petu lant remarks. Our stand is made against national insti tutions misrepresented ; national objects, wishes, and aspirations distorted; national manners, habits, and thoughts caricatured. We maintain that the.example has been set, and persistently followed, by England; and we repeat that this country has lent herself as a most formid able ally to the bitterest enemies she ever had, in a large body working incessantly in the Union in a hostile spirit against her—the Irish in America. "It sounds like a paradox, but 1. believe it to be strictly fact, that the common language we employ, which should have been, one might well suppose, the best bond of union between us, has actually served to widen the breach, and exasperate the soreness between us." This is indeed a fact, and one well worth deep consideration. The initiative was taken by English writers, men and women, whose main object was to write a telling book which could command a ready sale. We profer hearing our neighbours abused to praised, we laugh at peculiarities, foibles, and caricatures well sketched, which throw ridicule on those who we know in our inmost hearts are rapidly outstripping us in the race of material well-being, who are growing into greater con sequence than ourselves. What would be said if we, in private life, acted the part we have done towards our kindred over the Atlantic. if we published our sarcasms, our strictures, our caricatures, invented the greatest ab surdities, and then sent these papers in bushels to those we attacked, our relations with our neighbours would soon become complicated. Our cousins, who had before regarded us as the elder branch, the head of an honourable family, who, in spite of serious quarrels in which they had been the victors, were inclined to venerate the • seat whence their race had sprung, and the old family who still kept up the dignity of the clan, might be expected to turn savagely from such wanton, unjust, and impolitic attacks; and so it has been. " Why this regard and delicacy for the efforts of Go vernments of such States as those of South America, for whom we care nothing, and why all these lavish comments and searching remarks on those whose qualities for good or ill are unquestionably all our own ? Why, I would ask, single out all that we can for praise on ono side, and only record what wo can find fault with or object to on the other ?. I believe the reason to bo this, that in treat ing of the Spaniard, the Frenchman, or the Russian, we always discuss his habits and his modes of thought as those which have reference to certain things in climate and country different from our own; we accept them as ways which are not our ways, but those of a people who have other measures and other standards, and which',' though we are not prepared to adopt, we in no wise'wish to dis parage. We make no such allowance when wo come to discuss Americans. We bring them all to the bar of Piccadilly, and whatever falls short of that measure we pronounce unworthy and inadmissable. The language we used in common lent itself to this : we come to the contest with the same weapon. If we quoted a speech for reprobation, we had not to dilute the incriminate part by translation ; we give the words of the s p eaker as he spoke them, quite forgetting the while that this speaker _ was addressing people essentially unlike our oTh•Dt,ere n ids whose tastes and requirements w ere not ours. much eloquence in America, but there i s much bombast too, and popular audiences are not satisfied withN Now, had that would fulfil all the cano ns of correct taste. the speaker held forth in French or Spanish, them mere difference of language would have tempered our criticism, and we never should have dared to object to an illustra tion or a figure because it was not what habit had aeons- Wined nf3 so With On Amnion, Speaking. the Isame tongue with Burke, and Peel, and Derby, we at once compare him with these, forgetting the while that in a land where nature works in gigantic mood, where plain and prairie, and forest and river are all immense, men strain expression to keep pace with the world around them, and there is a sort of rhythm between men's words and the wonders of, creation that environ them." Tho writer fairly puts the disadvantages of a Common language, but he does not touch on the other side. If our me limn of carrying evil thoughts and caricatures of each other be the same, and facilitated the dissemination of the evil, the medium is also the same in saying what is honest and true, friendly and considerate. We could neyer write France into a cordial love and alliance. All our best things would be lost on the Spaniards and Italians as pearls on swine. But the case is very different with America. The nation responds at once to a friendly tone. Their own journals catch it up, and spread the feeling abroad with a celerity all their own. The change which has lately come over England is already working a most beneficial change in America. Late events have made Americans better known and understood in Europe, uortasnwuloa ydl u yf t of one antiquated absurdity ? or and the guns which obscured with their sulphurous canopy so many a fatal field over the Union, have blown away the mists and ignorance which grew with years till thus rudely dispelled. The respect in which Americans is the away, oeldt s n i as havetSi h o n o w shown, a , s to i bragged significance loudly tfi caatn a cbe u s hsweehahi and abuse and sarcasm.

It is indeed the same as it would be on individuals. Who suppose that they can draw inFolent caricatures of friend Brown or Robinson, and that Dither of these parties will at once amend his manners or reform his customs. lfuelr- re'likktr that friend -Brown or - Itobinson win wait on us with a horsewhip, and teach us better manners and moro charity. other as much as we do. Our needs are not mere poll. " There are no two peoples in the world who want east tical needs ; they are far finer and closer, and nearer the heart than any such. America would be all the better for borrowing some of that English reverence for what ever is old and time-honoured, for that veneration which attaches to all that our ancestors cherished and cared for, and would be none the worse for seeing in age something besides decrepitude and decay ; and England might benefit in her Colonial Government by observing how the manli ness of a people is promoted by self-dependence, and how free institutions not only stimulate men to industry, but actually quicken invention and sharpen ingenuity. "The bad blood that has so long subsisted between the two countries is that which we see prevail in certain family quarrels, whore differences are embittered by the minute knowledge of the finest traits of temperament, a faniilarity with every cord of sensibility. And once more I ask if it is not high time to say farewell to these bickerings, which have certainly reacted unfavourably on the characters of each ? " It is indeed high time to try what a little consideration, a little reserve, a little deference, even a little of what courtesy each of us are accustomed to award to foreigners, might accomplish ; to endeavour to teach that instead of being natural enemies we are natural allies. No more false notion, no more injurious idea could have got abroad than that England was the hereditary enemy of America. She is no more the hereditary enemy than two brothers falling out, kicking and cuffing each other, and ending by abuse ; are born enemies. All our interests are in common, there is not one adverse, not one which ought to cause an angry word. Tho whole aspirations of the two peoples should be absolutely the same. They are of one race, of one language, laws and liberty entertained in common, and spreading over the globe tho Anglo Saxon-race. Other nations regard with dismay their' overwhelming and growing influence. Mexico was conquered by France to secure a counterpoise for the Latin nations. For this end France occupied New Caledonia, and endeavoured to es tablish herself in Madagascar. With this view she made efforts to resuscitate Spain. They see with dismay the world conquered and subdued by the tido of emigration which for some centuries has been flowing from England, and the two leading peoples of the earth of the same kin. The interests of these two nations are positively the same, and the work before them is so grand that it is impossible for human beings to conceive any thing more magnificent. It is to spread over the earth Christianity, freedom, and material well-being. The idea, then, of these leaders having the same mission and inte rests,'absolutely identical, being hostile, instead of working in brotherly love, is positively absurd. It looks as if the supreme folly of mankind enabled the Devil to thwart the most beneficent work of the Creator in the welfare of the human race, though against the direct interests of both sections of the Anglo-Saxon people, and against common sense and reason. Were these tivrt,Reation.nf L 1111.11131. C Clll npr a chosen people two orabbod Wu women, the means employed by the fiend could not have been more contemptible. The result is due to the writings of such a woman as Mrs.f.Trollopo, and such a man as Dickens, and the retort such scurrilous things bring back. The shafts rankle in the mind of a keenly sensitive people, the more so that the arrows were winged by feathers from their own eagle. They respected and venerated those who thus wounded them, and hoped and wished to raise in their elder kindred the admiration they felt they were entitled to for the conduct of their affairs, since they had severed the political connection. " I wish I were in a position to give power to my counsels, and I would say, now is the time not to be out done in generosity. Let there be no higgling, no bargain ing ; grasp manfully and warmly the hand that is out stretched to you, and let the feeling between the two nations be—not the conventional amity of Cabinets, but the hearty tone and affection of two kindred peoples. "We have fishery rights to discuss, and there are some unsettled claims about the Alabama which we refuse to admit. Now is the time to settle both iu a spirit that will show America we are not insensible to the value of her friendship, or the force of her example. If it should be said, whence comes this new ardour of Cornelius O'Dowd for our American cousins ?—how has this new light broken in upon him ? Has the condition of Europe, the threatening attitude of France, the character of the man who rules her, nothing to say to this sudden and strange conversion? And my answer is, it is precisely out of these causes that Isee the necessity of England having one ally who is above being subsidised, but not above being esteemed. It is because out of the present convulsions may come a war in which France, strengthening herself by the most powerful of the late combatants, may think fit to begin that work of the revisal of the Treaties of 'l5, which she has so significantly hinted at, and whose for mation she well knows was in the main the work of England. It is because I see this, and I see besides we have neither true friend nor well-wisher on the Continent of Europe, I would draw closer to those who, once our narrow squabbles are forgotten, could not but regard the lyd see country herwith ile affection, d b by and would never stand coldly overwhelming odds, or crushed bo to ss assailed beneath the united forces of despotism. . . . In the love that every educated American bears to England, in the pride of her great history, her grand traditions, and her noble literature there is a tie that, if the day of adversity for us arise, will be seen to bind America, to our side and our fortunes, even against the world. . . . My dread is, the fear of English power once departed, the wealth of England will be a temptation not to be resisted ; and if the day of such evil should come, them is but one people in the world who would not rejoice over our downfall, and that people is American. They are the only ones who would remember all the past gkxies of England—all that she has done for liberty—all she has achieved for civilisation. They are the only ones who will look with forgiveness on our faults and failings, and bear fully . in mind whatever of good or noble there was in us. America well knows whence she derives the great stamina of her nation. She knows it was not the Dutchman, nor the Rhinelander, nor the Celt, that gave her the mingled persistence and daring, the dogged re solve not to be conquered; and the patient endurance in time of adversity, for which wo have no better adjective than Anglo-Saxon. And she will not suffer the land which stands to her in the sacred relation of a father to be in sulted or degraded. "I have a wide acquaintance with Americans, and I write these lines with the full conviction of this truth—l believe that we have no other country upon whose friendship we can count so surely in our day of need, and I am certain that with America our ally we way defy the world." SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIDIES.—The demands somewhat abruptly made by France upon the victorious Government of Prussia may be found, we hope, susceptible of pa cific adjustment, but it is at least possible that conse quences of another kind may ensue, and the chance of a fresh war may well draw our attention. to i no own position and defences.

IVhen w e w dvau t ag e, expends on the total requi rements of the State less than we spend upon our army and navy alone, it surely follows that we may expect some proportionate means of security and strength. When we arrive, however, at the ascerta i nable facts of the case we are grievously disappointed. The First Lord of the Admiralty—the Minister charged with the management of our navy—has lately acknowledged that we have no sufficient re serves, and that our resources, indeed, is this respect are scarcely adequate to the ordinary reliefs due to vessels on foreign service. This disposes of what may be called the second line of our defences, but even i We look At the first lice, our Ntirdaoti.On will be by no means co m pl ete. We - it:DM squadron of ironclads, but so a e youngest of European kingdoms, and her fl r. " eet was actually beaten by the fl eet of a nation e s instead careel ranked as a maritime Pow er . N umericallY of being as strong as all the wor ld together, not even in the first place, and alliances might eeasilye and even naturally be formed by w hi ch all our effective fleet could be out-numbered to-morrow. The position we have always vindicated for our selves has been occupied by the Americ ans. They really have, or believe they have, a Navy , superior to all the navies of Europe, and Oak presumptions are not without plausible grounds. True, they have not maintained this position without commensurate expenditure, but for this they have, at any rate, a n e qu i va l en t re t urn. Th e i r i ron -clad fleet alone numbers 75 vessels of various rates, and they have upwards of 500 fighting ships besides. The Miantonomah, which her commander was ready to match against our whole Channel Fleet, represents only a single ship of four guns and 1,50 U tons in an array of three score such vessels. We are quite willing to believe that in an hour of actual trial our ironclads would prove more formidable than is supposed, and that the national apti tudes of our seamen would still count for much in any naval contest. We can imagine, too, that a few of our best wooden ships might be found still serviceable, for an old three-decker did good work against ironclads at Lissa, and the Americans are by no means neglecting the;,,r unarmoured marine. But all the assurance we can derive from these reflections falls very far short of satisfaction. It is not enough to say that we may be somewhat stronger than we seem, when we ought, beyond all question, to be so very much stronger than we are. What we are now Consider ing is not our strength itself, but our strength as proportioned to our expenditure. France and Italy together do not spend so much on their navy as we do. Austria, which has just won a considerable naval battle, spent scarcely a tenth as much. In fact, as regards our outlay, we have actually assumed very much such an obligation as that which Mr. SamudA would saddle us—the obligation of being superior to all other nations together. It is only when we look at the resultsjabteig that. our pretensions app ear so moderatii---- eicept America, ap proaches us in expenditure, and the expenditure, of the Americans is not so much in excess of or„ ra as it seems. It was enormous for a time, but f or a very short ti me on l y. T a ki ng the last si x years together, the Americans have only spent about £80,000,000 on their navy. We, drain g the same period, have spent between £60,000,000 and £70,000,000, and have nothing like so much to show for it. In urging, therefore, upon the Government and the country the necessity of vigorous reform, we by no means imply the necessity of additional expenditure ; we ask only that the same money should be better spent. If the sums placed annually at the disposal of our Admiralty were but as pro_ ductively invested as similar appropriations in other countries, we shoild find ourselves in our proper position, for we do pay a great deal more than they do for naval power. ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES. The Directors of the Bank of England having completed one quarter at the 10 per cent. minimum have now entered on another, still retaining that rate of discount. Ten per cent. is a satisfactory price to get for the loan of money on the best se curity; but as 12, 15, or even 20 per cent. might be charged, the country must be thankful. Indeed the Times has declared it ought to be grateful! and did it not prefer a quick and sharp ruin to the torture of a protracted agony, ending in ruin, the country being very good, no doubt would feel as the Times directs it. the Bank of England is Queen Eleanor, and English commerce is the Fair Rosa mond. The Bank presents the cup of poison and the dagger, and Rosamond must be grateful for the consideration shown by her enemy. The Bank has decided on the ruin ; and as the country, and a combination of circumstances, have placed the power in its hands, we must be content to accept the result. It is, however, for the interest of th e nation that theresult should come quickly—that the debris should be cleared away—that the bankrupts should disappear—and that the people, emerging from their • frightful sacrifices, should be left unshackled to work out their future regeneration. Bound, as they now are, hand and foot, they have no chance of maintaining their place in the race of competition. Paris is rapidly becoming the great money-centre of the world ; and if France be con tent to steer clear of foreign wars and internal com motion, England must submit to see its rival not only maintain the great start she has taken, but to see the distance increased, working as sh e does on a freer principle, and unencumbered with the re strictions of antiquated absurdities. The blow given to English credit has excited the attention of the civilised world, and in no country has it been more commented I.3n_QuAlklu_ in,,„&nagrtca„ 7.1/` . — ex arlumarcram• move in their own interest to secure a more stable system of exchange—a system-which will render them less dependent on the violent and disastrous fluctuation caused by our banking laws. If this nation prefers a plan which degenerates commerce into gambling, its right to adhere to it cannot be disputed ; but other people should; as far as in them lies, free themselves from the contamination. Mer chants here may enter upon transactions, taking their chance when their commitments come to maturity of the rate of discount being 10 per cent. or 2 per cent., but it is unfair that foreign merchants, who have less means of forming an opinion on the subject, should be compelled to run such tremendous risks. As London is, however, the great centre for the settlement of balances in the foreign trade of other countries, it is very hard they should be sub jected to so great a risk. The wines of France, the teas of China, the products of India, imported into the United States, are paid for in London, and an idea may be formed how injuriously American com merce is affected by variations in the rates of dis count over which that commerce has no control. THE CHOLERA. The daily returns of births and deaths in London registered on Friday, the 10th inst., says : "It is gratifying to be able to announce that cholera is less fatal than it was in London. The daily registered average in the previous week was 150 ; while on Sunday and Monday last 249, on Tuesday 130, Wednesday 109, Thursday 114, Friday 85 deaths from cholera were recorded. The deaths from diarrhoea and other causes have all declined. The improvement in the east London districts is well marked. This is encouraging. By the assidu ous employment of judicious measures the develop ment of the pestilence may be stopped." The Mansion House Relief Committee held a meeting on Saturday in relation to the funds now be ing raised there for the relief of cholera patients and of persons suffering from the loss of heads of families by the disease—Sir Mordaunt Wells presiding. A sum amounting to nearly £5,000 had been received at the Mansion-house and at various banks in con nection with it up to Saturday evening, since Tuesday last, in public donations for these humane objects. At the rising of the committee £740 in all had been voted to different localities, in sums adapted to the necessities and circumstances of each, and the com mittee are open to entertain fresh applications. Ap plications were made toshar s e h i a n d t w h e c u, fundbyvarous local bodies—namely, from Bromley-by- Bow,neighbSopuirthaelfiedeldesf,thße e n th e n e a k l- s g , raend St. George's-in en, Stratford, the the-East, where the ep idemic prevails in varying degrees of intensity.sle byn the the Roman Catholic Archbishop course of the proceed ings ig chbishoP of Westminster to the Catholic clergy us ae iraa r add re s d a pplications without delay to the l oca l in the poor er p arts of the metropolis, was read, sug gesting authorities for admission to any committee or board which may be formed for the relief of the cholera sick, and the making of collections to be also ad urges dt e o s any the hastenle utmostun influence to r ge neral fund.

In the event, he added, of any children being left orphans by the cholera, their names and ages were to be sent to him. The com mittee entirely approved the suggestions contained in the archbishop's• circular. As the London hospital only admits extreme cases, and that to the extent of its very limited ac commodation, and as there are many constantly occurring in which the only chance of recovery lies in the immediate removal of the sufferers from poor and ill-ventilated dwellings to an hospital, it is in contemplation to convert a large, new, unoccupied building in Commercial-street, Spitaltields, into a temporary hospital for the reception and treatment of cholera patients. It consists of three tiers or floors, and would afford accommodation to at least 200 inmates. The proposal was brought under the consideration of the committee on Saturday, by Mr. E. H. Palmer, a director of the Bank of Eng land, and they regarded it with such approval that they stated their readiness to grant £5OO towards the expense of giving effect to it, or a larger gum, if necessary. 1 THE WELLINGTON, ST.
