(From the Times of Otis day. ) In the complaints which have resulted in a cry for Administrative Reform one of the most prominent was levelled against what was termed the "routine" per vading our system of administration. Recently, how ever, it has been remarked in Parliament, as if in de precation of this protest, that routine in some form or other is absolutely indispensable to the proper conduct of all establishments, whether public or private, and in Rome sense this assertion is unquestionably true. All our commercial and manufacturing establishments are carried on from day to day by a system of regulations which undeniably represents a species of routine, and those are usually the beat managed where this rou tine is most punctually observed. Common sense, as well as the practice of business, teaches us that there should be a place for everything, and that every thing should be in its place ; that labour is best performed when divided, that every servant should concentrate his attention. on his own department, and that it is only by a strict adherence to established regulations that the work of a lsrge concern can be got through. Even "firms" are adopted in private as well as public office., and observed with great precision. An insurance-office supplies is printed form to be filled up by a person wishing to insure ; trading or speculative com panies furnish forms of requisition to applicants fir shares ; banks use particular kinds of checkbooks ; nor is anything more common in our commercial establish ments than for a customer to be passed from one depart ment to another until his business is completed. All this however, is nothing more or less than routine, 'and why, then, should a practice which is not only innocent and beneficial in one case be so seriously detrimental in ano ther? This question we will attempt to explain. Is the first place, the ~routine pervading the various departments of our public administration was exagge rated in character. It was carried unnecessarily into the minutide of business, and allowed to affect the most insignificant matters. Forms and requisitions were not merely employed, but were refined upon and multiplied to boot. If it were necessary or expedient that a par ticular application should be made in writing, it could hardly have been requisite that it should be made on paper of a particular kind, or that the signature of the applicant should be precisely in a particular place, and not an inch too high or too low. In the next place, the importance attached to these observances was allowed to outweigh that of the objects for which the obsery antes themselves had been established. There appears to have been no distribution 'of that discretionary authority by which the forms of the service might be overruled for the good of the service. The officers of a department seem to have been trained not so much to see that the purposes of their; department were somehow or other properly answered as to see that the traditions of the department itself were carefully maintained. The routine, too, was not only rigorous but inflexible, and was n o t mo difi e d, even in deerence to obvious demand. We are told that the "forms" of the several departments had been much simplified, and were not, generally speaking, either cumbrous or complicated overmuch. The fact is, however, that they had been adapted to times of peace, when economy was of more consequence than despatch, when there was no strain or tension to try them, and when checks and counterchecks, if they effected little good, at all events did little mis chief. When this state of things was succeeded by war, and when the object was not merely to keep an accurate collection of vouchers, but to insure that everything should come to hand 3,000 miles off exactly when it was wanted, the system broke down, because it had not been calculated for any such trials. But the great and essential difference between the two cases to which we have referred—between the routine of a public office and that of a private business —consists in the fact that the Government could not, for the purpose in question, be considered as one estab lishment, and that consequently the forms of one depart ment were not properly accommodated to the forms of another. In a private establishment there is one head or one source of authority, there are certain definite purposes kept in view, and to the accomplishment of these purposes all observances are adapted. Routine is preserved as long as it conduses to its proper end, and no longer. It is changed, modified, infringed, or aboli shed without scruple or delay, according as circum stances require, and the conductors of the establishment can always take care that the routine of each department shall coincide with the action of the rest. Where, how ever, departments are virtually independent of each other, and each preserves a routine of its own, it is clear that the work of the whole machine may be ins peded, though th e mo tion of particular wheels may be punctiliously secured. The routine, in short, of a private establishment is nothing but the observance of a system which is found from day to day to answer the object of the whole concern ; the routine of Government offices is the action of a strict code of rules, special in their applioationy often unne cessarily it is easy to deduce two or thr ee t c o e s t s h a e r y real m e i n x i u g t e e n , c a i e n s d o n f o p t b a i d i c m b i t u t s i n g e s o s f . From these remarks accommodation conclusions. Of course, nobody could argue that any G overnment more an without those order, private establishments, ce v is e st r iao n bn m l,i n t departments,e regularity,nts,should t e m or, in fact, routine. To say that public business should be managed without these accessories would be absurd ; but the system itself should not be exalted above its objects, nor should it be invested with any such sanctity as to impede the adoption of reforms the moment they are required. Routine, in short, is valuable only as the means to an end. It should be to clerks what drill is to soldiers. It should show the readiest, the easiest, the surest, and most compendious method of doing a thing, and, just as new manoeuvres are adopted in military science, so new regulations, or, in other words, a new routine, should be introduced whenever circumstances render it desirable. If the work of any department is thoroughly well done the rules of that de partment theygo by the must name be ofroutine good, and it o signifie s ranyother ; littlewhether but,i f they are so devised or enforced as to obstruct the work itself, there is an'end of all argument for their continu ance. Routine, in the sense of regularity, exactness, and systematic order, is good ; in the sense of rigid rules, attaching paramount importance to forms, it is bad. It should be our instrument, net our master ; it should facilitate our operations instead of restricting them. (From the Daily News of this day.) Some of the devices resorted to for the purpose of throwing discredit on the Administrative Ref Ora; move- ment are amusing enough. One of the newest is, with a grave face, to call upon those who take part in it to explain what they mean by Administrative Reform. The best way to answer such querists would be to tell them, as Dr. Johnson once to!d a putter of similar silly questions—" Sir, I am bound to find you arguments, but not understanding." Ministers at least, it is pretty clear, have a tolerably accurate conception of what is meant by Administrative Reform. Sir Wm. Moles worth, for example, so far from affecting not to know what it means, candidly told his Southwark constituents that its necessity would become apparent if' Mr. Disrael's motion were carried. And Admiral Berkeley, without waiting for any such convincing argument as a vote of censure of the House of Commons, tells his constii tuents—" I am quite alive to the necessity of reforming, or rather eradicating, these evils"—i.e, the defects of the administrative departments of government. True, the gallant admiral says that he regrets " so much exaggera tion and so many false statements should have been made 'within and without the walls of Parliament on such subjects ;" but it has been the practice of confessing de linquents to extenuate their offences as much as possible ever since the days of the frail spinster who pleaded guilty to the charge of having had a Ckild, but added that it was " a very little one." Another of the devices alluded to is to insinuate, or boldlp assert, that the movement is entirely factitious— got up by a few ambitious men who seek to raise an agitation that may carry them into Parliament. This imputation may be disproved very easily : let any m an take in his hand a list of the chief promoters of the Lon don Administrative Reform Association—the body which has as yet taken the most prominent part in the move ment—and go into the City and ascertain their charac ter, position, and relations. He will find that the great majority of them are men to whom ministers might with the utmost safety offer place, secure that their tastes, and the immense interests which demand their constant attention, would debar them from accepting it. W e may,add that we learn, from a source as to the reliabi lity of which there can be no doubt, that it is a standi n g rule of the Association, that no person can have seat or voice in the business committee who is a member of Par liament, or who aspires to become one, althou g h th e co-operation and fellowship of no men, or class o f men, are rejected. This "self-denying ordinance" appears to us judicious; not because we have any mistrust of a man merely because - he devotes himself to public business as a profession, but because it will relieve the members of the committee from a world of solicitation, which mi g ht be brought to bear with some hopes of success upon politicians, but which would obviously be thrown away upon men who are determined to stick to their indus trial pursuits. _ _ _ But, for our own part, so far from thinking it any objection to the organised movement to obtain Admi nistrative Reform that it is likely to be joined by some who look to it as a means of introducing th em _ elves to a public career. we hope that it may secure the services of many such. The public cannot divine in stinctively who the men are that are capable of serving them well and effectively. The man who aspires to be come a legislator or administrator must embrace such opportunities as offer to show the public that he pos sesses knowledge, talents, intrepedity, and firmness. It will be better for the country to select its servants from among those who have won their spurs by legitimate agitation, than to take unknown men upon • trust be cause they are recommended by some influential patron. Agitation necessarily trains public men. A young man joins in some movement of the day, without any other intention than to forward it. He is found to possess a talent for impressive speaking, or for sooth ing asperities among th ose w i t h w h om lie co-operates, and a great part of the business is thrown Upon hi s shoulders. The character of the professional politi cian is thus developed in him, and his time is so o eeu . pied that he is withdrawn from his former pursuits. lie hall nothing for it but to follow out the career upon which he bas entered unawares. Hence it has come that every great national agitation we have witnessed_ has introduced a . n ew class of memb ers — m o re or less , numerous, to the Legislature ; every popular_ deluge (to borrow a figure "of speech froth Prince 'Metternich and Lord Maidstone) has deposited a new stratum of legis 7 lators in Parliament. The struggle of Catholic Ernanci . pation gave us the Shells and the O'Cannells. The strug- gle for Parliamentary reform gave us the Attwoods, Scholefields, Brothertons, and Horsmans. The Anti-Corn- Law agitation gave us the Cobdens, Brights, Kershaws, and Browns. The movement for Administrative Reform will in its turn train new members for the Legislature, and supply them with an opportunity of winning that public confidence which can alone open for them the doors of the House of Commons. We do not merely look forward to this as inevitable; we regard it as most desirable. The talent available in the House of Commons which was developed in the leaders of the Catholic Emancipation and Reform Bill struggles, was simply that of preserving harmonious action among their fellow-agitators—a talent of immense use in the deliberations of any popular assem bly, but which may be possessed in a high degree by men destitute of almost every quality of a legislator. The Anti-Corn-law agitation taught its leaders, in addition to this tact of management, lessons in the theory of com mercial policy, but left them imperfectly acquainted with much that the legislator requires to know. The Admi nistrative reform movement will be an experimental school of practical statesmanship. To take a iewl in it a man must necessarily make himself acquainted with the organisation and mode of working of our executive government. Too many of those who have been .. .. . . ___ . " pitchforked" into Parliament by former agitations, have shown thnt it is one thing to be a successful agitator and another to be a useful Fgislator. Their utility in the House of Cornmoata has, in a great mea• sur4s,,, been restriotid..o the bringing the sentiments of that body somewhat more into harmony with those of the people than they were before. But men trained in the Administrative Reform movement will acquire habits and knowledge calculated to inspire them with confi dence in their Ability to take part in the executive councils of the State. The oligarchy will not be able to say of them that they are unwilling to accept of office, or that they are destitute of the acquirements which fit men to discharge its duties. The Administrative Re form movement will educate "the right men for the right p 1 aces." THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOTT. In reply to a question put in the House of Commons, it has been stated that the first object at the Camp of Aldershott would be to teach the troops to act together in large bodies, but that, concurrently with this special training, instruction would be given to them of such a kind as to promote their general efficiency in all other respects. We have more than once alluded to the im portance of the experiment which is now about to be tried, and we recur to the subject because we are con vinced that the general system of training pursued at Aldershott may exert an incalculable influence on the character of the British army. There can be no doubt that what has been specified above as the primary object of this military instruction is one of great consequence. It must needs tend to the confi dence and ability of troops in the field to observe hnw regiments are formed into brigades and bri gades into divisions, how cavalry can be supported by infantry, and both by artillery, and how the action of large masses of men can be so concerted as to produce the greatest effect. Nevertheless, although ma nceuvres illustrating such principles of military science I may be highly serviceable, we do not conceive it is on this point that our soldiers are most in need of instruction. As a matter of fact, it has not been found that our troops were difficult to handle, or that they evinced any par, ticular incompetency or awkwardness when massed to gether in unusual numbers. Their behaviour at the Alma could hardly have been more admirable if they had been drilled in bodies of 20,000 together for months previously. It is quite true, as has been often said that what is wanted is that a given number of regiments should be convertible into an effective army, but this requirement points, we think, to something above and beyond- any extension of the exercise of the individual soldier. The principal defects in our military organisa tion were discovered, not in any inaptitude of the troops for extended manoeuvres, but in the inexperience of officers, and, above all, in the insufficiency of those particular departments of an army through the agency of which the fighting men are maintained in a fit condi tion for service. We wanted a good Staff, a good Trans pirt Corps, and better arrangements in the Commissa riat and Medical Departments. We had few officers who had been accustomed to the management of brigades or divisions; our regiments, except at one or two stations, had usually been isolated from ethers, and the c tits made on the Commissariat in the colonies, where the chief experience of these officers was acquired, were not of a kind to convey rnuch instruction in the duties arising out of a European campaign. In short, there was none of that machinery which makes an army effective and keeps ft so. We had excellent soldiers and admirable regiments ; but as our arrangements had been mostly confined to the regi mental scale, it was found, when some 25,000 men came to be massed together and landed on an enemy's terri tory, that we had no system properly organised for keep ing these men well fed, well clothed, well lodged, and well tended in case of sickness or hurt. It was here we were so much in arrear of our brave Allies. The French had not only soldiers, but all those accessories by which soldiers become an army—such as good waggon trains, good medical appliances, and good Staff officers, to make the whole work together. It is precisely in these respects, as it seems to us, that we should endeavour to turn the camp at Aldershott to good account. At Aldershott we ought to have an army—that is to say, not merely an assembly of regiments, but a collec tion of troops of all arms, and in numbers sufficient to compose a considerable force. An opportunity would then be given of introducing and exercising all those other branches of the service on which the efficiencyof the fight ing portion of the army so much depends. Commissariat officers may observe what it is to provide necessaries for several thousand men ; medical officers and purveyors may gain similar knowledge in their own departments ; white regimental officers in like manner may acquire the experience of brigadiers. All the special duties created by the presence of an army in the field may thus be dis cerned and learnt with no inconsiderable degree of pre cision, and practice of a character never before obtainable will be within the reach of officers and men. As regards, however, the soldiers themselves, we are convinced that the species of instruction most serviceable to them will be that which is addressed to improving their facilities of resource and increasing their individual self-reliance. We do not think it can be fairly said that our troops in the Crimea owed much of their suffering to deficiencies in this respect, for, under the circum stances in which they were placed, it would have been impossible for any men, however dexterous or ingenious, to supply themselves with necessaries, or effect much towards the amelioration of their condition. Neverthe less, it seems to be established by a pretty general con currence of opinions that the training of the British soldierisconfined too exclusively to the immediate objects of his drill, and that he is habituated by the operation of our military system to look to others in matters where he might often look to himself. He is taught to march, to move according to rule, and to use his arms ; he ac quires a firm carriage, great precision of movement, and invincible steadiness ; but with these acquisitions his dis cipline ends. He is not taught to "do for himself" in any way ; on the contrary, he is accustomed to find everything done for him. He cannot build himself a hut, or extemporise a fireplace, or mend his own clothes cleverly. He cannot make the most of his relations, or turn a short issue of provisions to the best account. He has no knowledge of carpentry, cookery, or any of those common arts by which a little is made to go a good way. None of these things are taught in his drill, and the con sequence is, that though the intelligence and resources of Englishmen in other situations of life are notorious, our soldiers are in these matters behind those of other countries. The rank and file of our regiment found everything done for than under the regimental system, and when this system broke down, upon being applied to the wants of an army, there was no inherent resource in the individual soldier by which the failure could be partially compensated. We trust, therefore, that in addition to that practice in field manoeuvres which will, of course, be obtained at Aldershott, some steps may be taken to turn to account the capabilities of the men themselves. They must ne cessarily have a considerable amount of leisure, and this leisure could hardly be better employed than in the acqui sition of knowledge which would be useful to them, not only as soldiers, but as cpvisens too. Our Militiamen, in particular, whose terms of service are so limited, might gain instruction which might be of infinite value to them when they returned to their families. How willing they are to learn may have been seen already from the promptitude and earnestness with which they have attended all kinds of classes established for their improvement ; nor is it likely that any occupations tending to break the monotony of a camp life would be considered as otherwise than agreeable. These are the points on which we think that our system of military training would admit of beneficial extension. Of course, the trst object of such discipline is to make good soldiers, but there is no reason why in making good soldiers we should not do something more, especially when the soldier.himself would be all the better for the process,--Times. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOt FROM RUSSIA AND PRTJS SIA.----A. return to the House of Lords has been printed, showing the quantity of hemp, flax, and tallow received into this country from Russia and Prussia, between the Ist January and the 27th April, in the years 1853, 1854, and 1855. The quantity of hemp undressed, in the first four months of 1853, from Russia, was 12,329 cwt., and from Prussia 227 cwt. In the first four months of 1854 there were 1,814 from Russia, and 323 from Prussia; and in the first four months of the present year 846, of which 804 cwt. were prize, and from Prussia 42,745. Of fiax, from Russia, the quantities in the same years ‘ke e respectively 40,301 and 11,710 cwt. in the present year. The quantity of tallow received was 32,404 cwt. from Russia in 1853; in 1854, 27,672 ; and 13,144,in 1855 ; and from Prussia, in 1854,ithe quantity was 3,694 ; wad this year (the first four months, as in the several in- Amos), 144,035. CONDITIONS OF THE CONCESSION. The. concession of the Railway from Rome to Frascati has been :rant oil by decrees of the Pqntiflcal Government. The duration of the c catcession is 99 years. The Company has the power to continue tke !tome and Frascati lint as far as the Neapolitan frontier. The authorised tariffs are as follows : For First-class passengers • • • • • 0.13 c. per kilometre.* ”. Second-class ••.... • • 0.10 If „ Third.class „ .. • . 0.06 ft . Goods, per ton „ • • .... . 0.40 gh as these tariffs appear, they are little more than one-half the exisldng charges for conveyance. TRAFFIC. The directors have, by careful observation, ascertained the prob- Wit amount of the traffic between Rome and Frascati, as well for p assengers as for provisions and other merchandise. These observations have been made at various times and at dif ferent points on the line. in order to secure correctness In the results ; end they show a daily movem_ n t of 7,060 passengers (5,320 on foot, 'end 1,743 in vehicles), and 745 waggons load, d with agricultural pro duce for the supply of Rome, con:aining. at an average of 500 kilo grammes each, a total weight of about 372,500 kilogrammes or about 372 tons English. Nor is there anything surprising In this amount of traffic Rome, • t'ith its permanent population of 180,000 souls, and its floating but regular population of 40,000 foreigners, poste.ses neither granaries, gardens, flelds,.nor vineyards,. to supply its daily consumption. .No p aces of retreat or amusement on its numerous holidays or fetes, at a less distance than about 12 miles (20 kilometres) from its walls no places, in fact, nearer than Monterotondo, Nemi, Ariecia, Castel londolfo (the summer residence of the Pope), Albano, Gensano, Ma ino, Civita-Lavinia, Villerri, &c., all in the neighbourhood of Fras cati. The'whole of this traffic of passengers and goods, including the daily supplies of provisions for Rome, and the conveyance of visitors to the above-named places. may fairly be expected to pass over the railway from the day of its opening, to be, subsequently and largely augmented when the transit to Naples shall be added, Takfng the actual traffic as a basis. without doubling (as is usual) the number of passengers, without rcc'toning on the increase of traffic which time will as certainly bring ; admitting even a con siderable reduction of the estimate already made, adopting as the general tariff that of the third-class passengers only, and reducing by 50 per cent. the goods tariff, we arrive at the following results : Francs. 5,000 passengers a day (instead of 7,060) at six centimes --- (third class tariff) over 20 kilometres (12 miles) 200 tons of goods a day (instead of 372 tons) at 1G centimes, over 20 kilometres (the legal charge is 40c.) Total 2,423,600 Deduct 50 per cent. for working expenses 1,211,800 Net 1,211,800 Or more than 15 pet" cent. on a capital ~ f eight millions of franca. FINANCIAL CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY.

WAR MOVEMENTS IN THE PACIFIC. The Polynesian of March 24 says The combined English and French squadron is ex pected at the islands in the months of April or May, and we understand, from rumour, that another attack is to be made upon Petropaulovski as soon as the place can be safely approached after the breaking up of the ice, We also, hear that the squadron will be increased by the addition of a line-of-battle-ship, a steam-frigate, and a smaller vessel or two on the part of the English, with a similar addition to the, French division, the par ticulars of which we have not heard stated. Honolulu is a convenient port at which to rendezvous before going north, and we have been informed that it has been ap pointed such by the Commander-in-Chief," The line-of-battle-ship is the Monarch, 84, Captain Pat( y, to take the flag of Rear-Admirai Brt.ce, and is, by this time, on the station. Accounts from San Francisco, dated April 16, state that— _ _ _ " Pique ' 36, Captain Sir F. Nicolson, Bart., left San Francisco April 4. Her destination was kept secret, it being supposed that the captain had sealed orders re ceived from the admiral by the mail which had arrived a week previously. It was given out that the Pique was merely going to practise her guns outside the bay. She had " provisionea " for six months just before sailing. One conjecture is that she may have proceeded to the north to look out for the Russian frigate Aurora (44 guns), which is supposed to have left, or to be about leaving, Petropaulovski, where she wintered ; and an 'other conjecture is that the Pique has gone to the Sandwich Islands to join the combined English and French squadrons. " Some apprehension is felt here, chiefly by the French, which the English do not participate in, that two Russian armed vessels belonging to the Russian American Company, which have laid in this port for some months, are about to sail on a privateering cruise, for which they would seem to have been for some little time hack preparing. One of these vessels, the Kau t schatka, is a fine fleet ship of about 650 tons, carrying 10 guns, of which two are large ones ; she has laid here for over four months ; she lost her crew by desertion, but has lately been busy completing a new crew, and is now ready to proceed to sea at any moment. She 1-as no cargo. Considering the risks she was bold enough to run in getting down from Sitka, with several French and English men of war on the coast, of whom some were in the harbour of San Francisco when she arrived here, it is generally believed that her captain has the spirit and audacity to attempt the capture of a prize, now that he is relieved from the presence of all the men of war on the stadia). The other vessel, the Nicholas the First, has been hers for two months. She is a ship of much the same character as the Kamtschatka ' but is quite unprepared to go to sea. Nothing could be easier for the Kamtschatka than to pick up an English or French merchantman on this coast, and run down with her prize to Sitka. It is possible, however, that the captain of the Pique, apprehending such an attempt, may be still hovering on the outside the harbour, on purpose to tempt the Russian vessel to sally out, and it is known that the Pique was heard practising her guns in the offing three.days after she left port." From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the Dido, 18, Captain Moorhead, C. 13., had arrived at Honolulu from Callao, where she had left the admiral waiting for the arrival of his flag-ship from England.

IPRIcE SD. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS IN ENGLAND The reports of the Poor-Law Inspectors on the ex• tended experiment made last year for collecting aruicul. tnral statistics in England have just been 'printed, and present rather discouragi ig results as regards the pro bable efficiency of the methods thus far adopted, but show that all difficulties would most likely vanish if a coherent system were Introduced based upon a Legis lative enactment, and provided for with the liberality warranted by the importance of the object. The first attempt at collecting these statistics took place in Nor folk and Hampshire in 1853, and with sufficient success to induce a repetition of the plan on a " Considerably extended scale " last year. For this the sum voted was only 4,0001., and, as the inquiry was carried on in 11 counties, a niggardly rate of remuneration seems to have been adopted, which has contributed, with other causes, to its partial failure. Among the impedi ments, the fact that a large number of the agricul turists refuse to make returns under a voluntary system, which gives no certainty that if they comply with the request their neighbours will also do so, appears to have been the most prominent ; bat the unfitness of the machinery of the boards of guardians was evidently a serious drawback. On the whole the statements and cor respondence furnished by this document tend to esta blish the conviction that, if Cie Government had attached interest to the measure equal to that which has long prevailed respecting it among all the intelligent classes of tie country, and had proceeded to the task in a spirited instead of a peddling way, the system might have been in successful working at this moment, so as to convey the assurance that, by the first fortnight of next August, the momentous question of the results of the approaching harvest would he entirely removed, from the range of wild - and — spe.cntattva eenje - oltiFe: As to the nature of the steps, if any, which, may be in progrei.s towards that end at the present, moment, very little seems to be known, but a heavy re sponsitility will have been incurred for whatever neglect may have taken place at a juncture so critical. The counties seleetid last year were Hants, Wilts, Leicester, Norfolk, Suffolk, Berks, Worcester, Brecknock, Salop, Denbigh, and the West Riding of York. In these the schedules required to be filled up amounted altogether to 118,287. In 93,117 cases the occupier complied, but 17,042 were filled up by enumerators from such infor mation as they could get, and in 8,128 no information whatever was obtained. An approach to statistical ac curacy was therefore rendered impracticable. A general summary has, however, been framed in such way as the materials would admit, and by estimating the other counties to produce acre for acre in proportion to those included in the present inquiry, the 37,324,915 acres in England and Wales may be supposed to have been em ployed as follows : Acres. 3,807,846 2,667,776 1,302,782 73,731 698,188 218,551 2,267,200 177,263 12,633 193,287 10,156 18,976 1,079 97,334 895,960 Wheat .

THE SETTLING-DAY. Tuesday has told its own tale, and dispelled the doubts which were entertained as to the nature of the settling. The business of paying and receiving progre.sed smoothly, and was brought to a satisfactory termination. The two cases of default which have been moet talked about will, in all probability, he very shortly arranged on terms alike honourable to the debtors and their cre ditor-. From that section of the Ring generally deno minated " little men" several absentees were, as usual, reported. The winners on the Derby are principally "gentlemen sportsmen"—properly so called—and a large body of the public who placed the strongest confidence in the prowess of Wild Dayrell, the integrity of his owner, and the honesty of the trainer and the jockey. It is said that Mr. Popham backed his horse at 66 to 1 for 3501., and allowed many of his friends to " stand in ;" his win nings in bets are therefore inconsiderable. Mr. Davis lost 20,0001. on the race ; had Kingstown won he would have gained 40,0001. Part of his losses were recovered on the Oaks, the balance in his favour on that event being to the extent of 5,000/.

THE NORTH OF ENGLAND v. THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND. This match was resumed yesterday at Lord's, where there was a large gathering of spectators. There was some beautiful and effective batting on the part of Parr, on behalf of the North, and by John Lillywhite for the South. For this they were called up to the Pavilion, and presented with a new ball as a mark of honour. At the close of Monday's play the South had lost 7 wickets for 88 runs. This amount yesterday they in creased to 144. Adams added 9 more to his previous score of 5, and John Lillywhite was not disposed of until he had placed the figures 43 upon the score. Mr. Drake obtained 21. At the termination of this hand the South were 41 runs ahead. The North in due time entered upon their second hands, and yielded 111, to wards which total Parr contributed no fewer than 53. Tinley made an offering of 19. The South were not able to accumulate more than 52 in their second innings. Of these Caffyn gave 11, and Adams (not out) 10. It has not often been that more brilliant play has been shown. Wisden wag in fine bowling, and as for Clarke he was scarcely touchable in the second innings. The South, although they were the headmost side by 41 on the first innings, ultimately lost the match by 18 runs, the gross totals . being 214 and 19G. The prospectus has been issued of the Rome and Frascati Railway Company, with a cap i ta l of 320,0001., in 101. shares, half of which has been subscribed en the Continent.

We hear that persons high in authority and position have had an interview with certain M.P.s who took an active part on the bill, the result of which has been to convince them that the committee on the bill had acted not only unjustly towards the South-Western share holder.,, but had encouraged an illegal act in the pledge which neither directors nor shareholders could legally give. It is, therefore, contemplated by the dissentients to memorialise theEouse of Lords against the clauses i the present bill, which, if it be thrown out, it is intended to present next year without the clauses, and they believe it will pass in that shape.—Herapath's Railway Journal.

(From the _Report of Gee Registrar-General. ) The return for the weak that ended last Saturday does not discover any decrease in the rather high rate of mor tality which has lately prevailed in London, and which is as great at the end of May as it was in the beginning of the month, and is even higher than it was in the last two weeks of April. Last 1,187 deaths were registered. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1845-54, the average number was 951, which, if raised by a tenth part for Increase of population, becomes 1,046. It ap pears that 141 persons died last week more than would have died according to the ordinary rate of mortality in the fourth week of May. The class of zymotic diseases shows a disposition to in crease. The weekly numbers referr e d t o it l ate l y run thus : 214, 210, 220, and (last week) 246. These 243 cases are distributed under particular heads as follows : small-pox 29, measles 16, scarlatina 52, hooptng-cough 52, croup 12, thrush 3, diarrhoea 15, dysentery 5, influenza 1, remittent fever 4, typhus 43, metria (puerperal fever) 1, rheumatic fever 1, erysipelas 8, syphilis 3, and noma 1. Scarlatina, which averaged 40 in some previous weeks, rose to 52. Three deaths were registered from this dis ease in each of the following sub-districts :—St. Paul, Hammersmith ; West London (South) ; and Poplar. Seventeen, or nearly a half, of the deaths caused by other fever, occurred in the east districts. Pfithisis is much more fatal than any other special disease ; it num bered 170 cases last week, about 30 more than the usual number in corresponding weeks. Last week the births of 855 boys and 767 girls, in all 1,622 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 1,399. of A th t e the bar ßoy onle al . t . e Oribns e t r h v a e t w or e y k G w re a e s n 2 w 9 i . c 7 h o , l th i n e . m e T a h n e b m ei e gi n t temperature was 55.4 degs., which is 0.9 degs. above the average of the same week in 38 years.
