The appointment of Superintendent has been offered to a gentleman who has been connected with Brazilian Gold Mining upwards of thirty years, and the Directors have reason to think that he will accept the appointment.

Newman (Blue) 9,600 So that the Yellows, with a minority of actual voters, would carry two out of the three members by better luck or harder drilling. NOr can this contretemps always be helped. A very eminent or very landowning candidate would seriously damage his less eminent colleague. Mr. Gladstone in one of the South Lancashire divisions would, with an evenly-balanced register, be the 'cer tain means of handing over the third seat to the Conservatives, since he would absorb too many of the extra votes. So, in another county, the whole country side would shower their third votes on Lord Magnate, the eldest son of Earl Magnificent, to the sure defeat of his excellent coadjutor, Mr. Nobody. Professional skill would of course be at a high pre mium. An electioneering agent skilled in splitting the third votes would be worth his weight in gold. The problem would be this—given 7,000 free and independent electors, scattered over a whole coun ty, and polling at 50 polling-places, how to induce 3,500 of them to give their third vote for one of your candidates, and 3,500 to give them for the other. Driving 7,000 pin to market would be an easier task. And skill would not always avail. One candidate will have winning mauners, and the other awkward. One understands soft sawder, and the other is skilful at blunders. One of the Blue candidates in a manufacturing district cuts a joke at the expense of the chawbacons. In 24 hours it flies on the wings of the penny papers throughout the county, and alienates the third votes of the whole agricultural interest. Or an amiable Liberal candidate in a Churchy neighbourhood is beguiled by a gentleman in a M.B. coat and white choker into some pledge about the Church. Straightway the members of the Liberation Socidties transfer their extra votes to his colleague. No calculation would be safe, and in evenly-balanced constituencies the odd seat would always be at the mercy of chance, and would be given, not so much to a majority of voters, as to the greater skill or better luck which split the extra votes of the party into proportions more or 1035 approaching to moieties.

The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times :—Sir,—ln February last you were so good as to insert a letter from me on the subject of the Cumulative Vote, in which I com bated the notion which at that time entertained in some quarters that this method of voting would be applicable to all constituencies possessing more than one member, and that it would prove a panacea against the, evils of democracy. May I now address to you a few lines on that mote logical and moderate idea which appears now to express the views of those in favour of Cumula tive Voting, and which confines its operation to alimited number of constituencies., large enough to be represented by three members? On the notice paper of the House of Cotnmons these views seem to be represented by the motion of Mr. Laing to give a third member to six boroughs and 25 county constituencies eontaining populations above 150,000, and the amendment and motion of Mr. Hughes that wherever three members are or shall be re turned each elector shall have the power of distri bWing his votes in any manner he may think fit among the candidates. As there are now nine con stituencies returning three or more members, this would produce a total of 40 constituencies endowed with the Cumulative Vote. Exception may be taken to the large number of counties selected for the honour, as compared with the small number of boroughs. and it may be fairly urged that, as elec tors are much more numerous iu boroughs in pro portion to the inhabitants, the borough standard of population ought to be munch lower than that of the counties ; but otherwise the scheme before us shows the cumulative principle under its best form, and in a shape most advantageous for candid discussion. Logically the proposal appears fair. The effect would be that in each constituency one-fourth of the electors voting would be able to return one of the three members, and so secure one-third of the representation. This seems rather too large a pro portion, yet not enough to excite much observation. But change the proposal into figures, testing it by an example of large numbers, and its extraordinary character becomes apparent. Suppose a consti tuency in which 10,000 come to the poll ; the pro posal is that 2,501 of these electors, by cumulating their three votes apiece, shall be able to return a member against 7,500 voting for three candidates on the other side. So insignificaht a minority is to carry the day, as regards one member, against the overwhelming majority of three times their number. This is opposed to all our old-fashioned notions, and I must confess, appears an excessive concession to the minority. Surely it would be wiser to propose that each voter should only have the right of giving one additional vote to any one candidate. In that case one-third of the electors would return one-third of the members, and the result would be more per fect in theory as well as less at variance with our prejudices. But it is not enough to have a logical theory ; the scheme ought also to work well in practice. Until the practical working has been well looked into, it is impossible to predict success. The very best schemes in theory can often be shown to be un workable in practice ; for instance—pace Mr. Mill—the elaborate perfection devised by Mr. Hare. Looking into its practical operation, we find that the cum'ilative vote will work best where the majo rity is a large one, and the minority small. In such cases the machinery will be used just as its proposers desire. The downtrodden Conservatives of Bir mingham will plump their three votes as one man to force a Tory partner into the hitherto Radical firm of Scholefield and Bright. The little flock of Radicils in South Devon will move like a phalanx to impose a manhood-suffrage colleague on Sir Law rence Palk. But wherever parties are nearly balanced a difficulty will occur, which has not been foreseen, and to which I wish to call your attention. The difficulty isTthis. In an evenly-balanced con stituency it will be useless for either party to start three candidates. Ther opponents are certain to return one of the members, and will run them hard for a second member. The struggle will be to re turn the odd member. This can best be done by starting only two candidates. For instance, sup pose an election in which 7,000 electors vote on each side ; if three candidates are started by either party they cationly receive 7,000 votes apiece ; but if two candidates are proposed by the other party they have 21,000 votes to divide between them, and, by first-rate management and luck may poll 10,500 apiece, so winning the oil.] member in a canter. To i ill blieccoluelaerlybe to renounce an axiom of elec tioneering that, in three -cornered constituencies ' where a sharp fight is expected, only two candi dates can be put forward. A second axiom will be that the utmost care must be exercised to in duce the electors to divide their third vote equally between the two candidates. That is to say, half of them, or as nearly half as possible, must be got to give their tbird vote to one candidate, and the other half to the other candidate. If much more than half give them to the favourite candidate, the other is left with much less than half, and a gap created which may let in the two candidates of the enemy and lose the odd trick. It is like riding two horses at once—you must keep them exactly abreast or you come to grief. To illustrate the case by an example. Suppose a constituency of 18,000 electors, of whom rather more than 14,000 actually come to the poll. Sup- pose that 7,200 of these electors are Blues, and poll dutifully for their two Blue candidates, and that 7,000 electors aro Yellows and vote for the two LONDON AND BRIGHTON. The report by the committee of investigation into the affairs of the London and Brighton Railway Company was issued this afternoon. It is a very careful and ably-written document, and severe be yond measure in the censures it passes on the con duct of the directors of that line. The disclosures made are of a most painful character, and far exceed in gravity those that took place in connection with the North British Railway. The report commences with a lucid history of the line for the last seven- teen years, contrasting the results of Mr. Laing's management with the policy pursued by Mr. Leo Schuster and the present board. The aim of the former, it is stated, was to abstain from extensions, to keep down the capital account, to maintain 3 friendly relations with neighbouring companies, to ' cultivate the traffic, and reduce the expenses. A table appended shows that, from 1848 to 1854, the increase of the total capital was £735,000, and of ' the net income £125,000. In the following twelve years, however, the capital had been increased £8,072,000, raised almost entirely by preference ' stocks and debentures, and the net income aug mented only £113,000. "In other words," say the committee, "a permanent charge of nearly £400,000 a year on £7,300,000 of preference and debenture capital was incurred, to earn au additional net in come of £113,000 a year." _The policy of the board is severely criticised iu other particulars. £435,214 Id. is shown to have been expended out of capital on works in progress from 1858 to 1866, which should have been charged to revenue, and the out lay on new lines from 1855 to 1866 amounted to £6,961,651. During the past ten years the Brighton Company spent about £2,300,000, and the South- Eastern about £4,000,000, in improving their metro politan terminal accommodation. Full details are given of the Surrey and Sussex and West Sussex June tion Railways. The conclusion to which the commit tee come is, that the former was a sham company, got up by persons connected with the Brighton board, and palmed off on the shareholders of the Brighton line as a real and an independent com pany. A letter written by Messrs. Faithful, Son, and Coode, announcing to the board that the Surrey and Sussex Bill had received the Royal assent is given in full, and the coniuct of the direc- , tors is commented upon in no measured terms. The Brighton Company expended, .on account of the authorised subscription to this line, £277,144, and the report states that " no other person contributed a single farthing, not even in the necessary qualifi cation of directors." The works of the line have now been stopped, and the contract with Messrs. Waring terminated under an agreement to refer the affair to arbitration. In the case of the Chichester and Midhurst line the Brighton Company has con tributed £44,450. The railway is Ili miles in length, and the cost, including stations, is to be 41140,000. The works here also are suspended, £16,000 having been agreed to be paid to the con tractors as compensation for relinquishing their contract. Regarding the West Sussex Junction Railway, it is shown that it was promoted by Mr. Faithful, the solicitor, and other individuals con nected with the Brighton Company. Various sums of money aro stated to have been paid to these gentlemen for the services they rendered, and although in the agreement for the amalgamation of the West Sussex with the Brighton it is called PI 4d. STAMPED sd. an independent line, the former was only repre sented IT the directors of the latter. The com mittee review the transactions of the board in very severe language, and sate that the total amount of capital and borrowing powers of the three companies, for u hich the directors had secretly undertaken to become liable, amount to £1,359,600, while the amount they led the share holders to believe would be the limit of their con tribution was £595,000, and the amount actually expended on these three lines up to the present time being £332,045. The committee consider that the Brighton Company are neither legally nor morally bound to take over these lines— that there are solid legal grounds for holding those directors who obtained the money from the Brighton funds responsible for its repayment. The transac tions with Mr. J. T. Mackenzie are then referred to at some length. Mr. Mackenzie, after declining to make a loan, agreed to purchase stuck to the ex tent of £300,000. A stipulation was made in the contract that no further stock should be sold for six months, but long before this time had expired Mr. Mackenzie, it is stated, ascertained that the di rectors were endeavouring to raise money by "pawning" stock greatly below the price he had paid. The commission paid to Mr. Scrimgeour, the broker, is shown to have been entered in the books for larger amounts than he actually received. The committee then say that the investigation thus far has satisfied them that the greater part, if not the whole, of the amount of dividend in 1866 was im properly distributed ; that there was, in fact, no sum available for division among the ordinary share holders ; and that instead of a surplus there was a deficiency. The estimated liabilities of the com pany at present are reckoned at £1,968,000; of which £1,000,000, it is thought, should be imme diately provided. The assets are considered to amount to £2,543,975,and assuming that £2,000,000 has been raised, viz., 1400,000 by debentures and land and £1,600,000 by stock, the capital would show total preferential debt £12,579,468, with an annual charge of £600,530, and ordinary capital £5,374,595. The amalgamation with the South ' Eastern is recommended, and also the reconstitution of the board, the new names proposed including Sir Charles Jackson and Mr, Laing. With an economical expenditure and a closing of the capital account the committee estimate that, after 1868, a balance would remain - available for dividend on or dinary stock to the extent of 2f per cent. The above is a condensed summary of this report, which, we may add, is signed by Lord Westbury as chairman. The charges made are so serious that it is difficult to believe some explanation may not be forthcoming sufficient to disprove the graver itortion of them, and we therefore refrain from quoting those passages that convey the strongest censure, until it is seen what the individuals incul pated have to say in their own vindication. Naval and Military Intelligence. Information was received at Aldershot on Satur day, intimating that the Prince of Wales, accom panied by the Duke of Cambridge and others, would pay a visit to that station to-day. The following divisional order was accordingly issued " The Royal Horse Artillery,',Cavalry, Royal Ar tillery, Royal Engineers, Royal Engineer Train, Military Train, and the three infantry brigades will parade as strong as possible at Cm gar's Camp at 10.45 a.m. on Monday, the 17th inst. Infantry regiments to be furnished with 10 rounds of blank ammunition per man." It is expected that there will be upwards of 12,000 troops on the ground. An escort will await their Royal Highnesses on the arrival of the 10.18 train at Farnborough. The military invalids were disembarked on Satur day from the transport King Arthur at Spithead, and removed to theßoyal Victoria Hospital, Netley, by Government steamer, and the ship proceeded on her voyage to London to discharge her cargo. The screw steamer Duncan, 81, 800 horse-power, Capt. R. Gibson, flagshipof Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope, G.C.8., late Commander-in-Chief of the North-American squadron, was paid off in the Med way, on Saturday, "all standing," under the supe rintendence of the officials of the Steam Reserve and dockyard. A silver medal, together with a gratuity of £l5, was awarded by the Admiral to James Sims, ship's cook, for long service and good conduct. The Duncan has been three years and a half irr commis- . sion, and, notwithstanding the nature of the service on which she was employed daring that time, she is in excellent condition. She relieves the Trafalgar, 72, 500 horse-power, as flagship of the Coastguard at Queensferry, Scotland, and the officers and crew of that vessel will be transferred to her forthwith. On the Duncan being paid off the crew were granted . only a short leave of absence, as they are required to assist in manning some of the vessels taking part in the approaching naval review at Spithead. Private letters received by our Chatham corres pondent from her Majesty's armour-plated ship Zeal ous, 20, 800 horse-power, flagship of Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. F. Hastings, C. 8., Commander-m- I Chief of the Pacific squadron , re p ort several move ments among the vessels on that station. The screw sloop Columbine, 4, 150 horse-power, and the store ship Nereus, 6, were at Valparaiso at the despatch of the mail.

A most important sale of yearlings was held a Donald's Stud Farm, a t E as t A cton, on Saturday, when Mr. Messss. Tattersall offered 51 l o t s f or public competition, consisting of 15 of Mr. Gulliver's, 14 of Mr. Bell's, four of Mr. Vv aring's, five of Mr Watson's, and seven of Mr. Duke's, with some smaller lots. As this is th e fi rs t sa l e o f yearlings held at East Acton - it may be right t o men ti on that it would be impossible to find any place better adapted f or such a purpose, the stabli ng being newly constructed, with all the recent improvements, and the boxes b e i ng both large and lofty, as well as ven til a t e d i n the best manner. Previous to the sale all the visitors were enter tained at an elegant luncheon, laid out in the tent which had been erected in the middle of the quadrangle, in the centre of which a fountain played. Everything was of the most rechereltj description, including turtle in abundance, and the wines, with champagne and claret cup, received, ample, justice from those present. ring was ereoftd at the side of a largo field adjoining the boxes, Mr. Do'aald having taken the precaution to have an inner ring railed off, so as to exclude the rabble and allow bonafide purchasers to inspect the animals. The press were also well taken care of, two carriages being placed in convenient positions for their especial use. Although the attendance was not so large as at Hampton Court or Middle Park, almost all of those present came with the intention of buying, and the sale was a most successful one. Out of the 51 lots put up 44 were sold, realising 8,080g5., or an average of a little over 183 gs. The Suncliffe yearlings, Mr. Gulliver's, were first put up, and 15 lots reached 3,300g5., or an average of 220 gs. ; the highest prices being obtained for a colt by Big Ben-Tiara, bought by Mr. Hobson for 500g5., which was not only the best looking but the cheapest animal disposed of at the sale, and a colt by Neville-Matrimony, which the Duke of Hamilton ob tained for 600 gs. Mr. Jay purchased a nice colt by Neville-Sunflower for 310 gs. ; but the best sold animal was the colt by Thunderbolt -Melody, for which Mr. H. Hill gave 420 gs. Of Mr. Waring's lot the filly by Oulston-Crucifixion, was most admired, and after some smart competition was bought for Dr. Shorthouse by a friend of his for 450ge. The Churchill yearlings, Mr. Bell's, were next put up, and the 14 lots realised 2,775g5, or an average of 198 gs, a great falling off from last year's sale when eight lots fetched 2,715g5, or an average of 339g5. They were turned out in good style, but only three of them made good prices-the colt by Dundee, Margery Daw, which Mr. Hobson got for 700 gs, and the brother to Friponnier, which Mr. J. Dawson bought for Mr. Pryor for 650 gs. The last is very smart and racing like, and well worth the money given for him. Mr. J. Day also bought a useful colt by Dundee-Maggie Lauder, for 350 gs. Six of Mr. Watson's were then put up, but only one, a colt by Rataplan, Connection, bought a good price, and In was well sold to Mr. Stephenson for 400 gs. A Newminster filly of Sir T. Leonard's was not sold, and a colt of Mr. Deacon's, br. to Ropley, brought 100 gs only, purchasers being evidently deterred by the suspicious appearance of his near hock. Mr. Duke's lot of seven in number were next brought out, but only three were sold, making together 580g5., or an average of 193 gs. They were all greys, and very well shaped and racing-like, particularly the filly out of Saxe-Weimar. The next sale will take place at East Acton on Saturday, June 29, when several vary valuable lots will be offered. The names of the purchasers, with the prices annexed, are given below :- Mr. Gulliver's Yearlings. Gs.
