IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and olicake may be ent'rely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,. linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding, material in the Market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing albs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 7id. 14 barrels welch net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

Empowered by Special Acts of Parliament. Offices, No. 1, Dale-street, Liverpool ; 20 and 21, Poultry, London ; Sheffield, Manchester, Glasgow ; Sydney, Mel bourne, and New York. This Company has attained a very high position among s t the Insurance Institutions of Gre a t Britain. Its annual revenue exceeds £500,000. Its invested funds amount to £1,260,000. FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Premiums exceed £310,000, and place it in the first class or Fire Offices ; its liberality and promptitude in set tling claims have been established in the adjustment of enor mous losses ; and its influence in determining rates of Pre mium has uniformly been given to proposals for improving the character of risks that high Premiums may be unneces sary. LIFE DEPARTMENT. The Reserve in this Department has been increased by the addition of upwards of £58,000 in the year 1860 alone. The system of Bonuses is simple, involving no possible liability of partnership ; liberal, guaranteeing a more than average amount of benefit ; satisfying, because known at the date of the Insurance, and therefore free from disappointment, un certainty, and doubt. The arrangements in other respects are intended to render the Polices of THE LIVERPOOL AND LONDON perfect securities in the hands of third parties. The Annual Premiums exceed £140,000; the accumulated reserve is 5T07,000. ANNUITIES. The payments by the Company exceed £19,000 per annum.

M. Hope, arid the Hon. T. F. Kennedy. The report stated that, as the comple tion of the works connected with the new garden was not contemplated at so early a date as the present anniversary, the Council believed that the interests of the society had „not suffered at their hands. • In'the ,report last year the 'Council said that " that they hoped and believed that, in the absence of unforeseen obstacles, - the garden would be for the most part completed by Midsummer in next year;" and-the present Council trusted that they would be able to fulfil theentieipation out, notwithstanding . that they had had , tc),.con _ con tend with formidable obsta c l es arising Ain= cir cumstances wholly beyond their, contrel , or antici pation. Notwithstanding, the Counci l. felt bound to open the gardens on the stli:df Jun e . It would b©a matter for consideration whether after th e formal - and ceremonial opening and ,great show on the sth - and 6th alum) the gardens should not lie again clos e d f or a short period for the finishing of the - works. The expenses had been; to complete the Nvorks,as must be, great,: and the Conn ' cil found it necessary tteiai;PL 1 for authority to raise by deb ent n r e l3-11 BM2I of Oh • ' OOO, in add ition to that of £40,000; i v hi Lehi was already sanctioned by the society.

T Majesty's CommisSioners for the' Exhibition of 1851, and the other arrangements of the soci e t y , cun found it necessary to apply for a new chart er . This had been - Mr' some time in preparatiOn. and it was expected to pass theSirea_Seal. within a few days. The ordinary working of the society had been going on satisfactorily &Ong the last 12 months. Several ballots for seeds and plants had taken place. The confining the ordinary dis tribution of flower and vegetable seeds to those who apply for them was acknowledged to be a proper regulation. By devoting the large conservatory at Chiswick to the cultivation of vines an admirable collection of the best kinds had been secured, from which the inferior sorts were being by degrees eli minated, and a very large number of cuttings of the now recognised best sorts, and of other fruit trees, had been distributed. It was intended to send- a collection to an interesting district in South B raz il, and they had already made an arrangement with a collector, who was in South Africa, to collect and transmit seeds and plants to this country. In con clusion, the Council expressed their gratitude to the Queen and to the Prince Consort for the interest they had taken in the society. The balance-sheet showed that the total receipts on the Kensington Gore account had been £40,666 6s. 3d. ; the expen diture (including £22,068 ss. 2d. invested), less that sum by £3,519 15s. 3d. The Chiswick general account showed receipts £4,974 13s. 3d., and ex penditure £4,585 17s. 6d., leaving a balance of £3BB 15s. 9d. The chairman having congratulated the meeting upon the present satisfactory position of the society, said he had no doubt but that the flower show would be held in the great'conserva tory on the sth of June. Rapid progress was being made in that building, but if it was not completed by the time, there would be plenty of room in the colonnade. A series of flower shows would be held during the year. Her Majesty would be unable to open the grounds on the sth of June, but Prince Albert and other members of the Royal family would be there. On the motion of Lord Grey, the report was adopted, the Council were elected, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. u ~~ 'eg PRICE 4D .

The action of such public companies would increase the profits of private firms, inasmuch as they would, cause a large augmentation of the general business of the country. Horse dealers were afraid when railways were formed that their business would be come valueless, but railway companies have so thoroughly developed the traffic of the world that horses never were in such good demand as at.the present time. It is now certain that numerous cotton and sugar procuring companies will be formed; let me sug gest to the promoters of them that only moderate amounts of capital should be raised during the first year or two ; when thorough experience has been gained, largely extended operation's may be under taken with safety and increase of profit. My opi nion is that the following sums would be amply sufficient for any company during the first year of its cotton-growing or buying operations on the vari ous countries named :—lndia, £lO,OOO to £50,000 ; Queensland, £5,000 to "£l0,000; Natal, £5,000 to £10,000; and Jamaica, £2,000 to £5,000. In the three countries last named it will be absolutely necessary to establish cotton-growing plantations;' in India the operations will be confined to buying, gin nip g,_ an&paokitig the cotton. I am careful to name these small amounts because there is an idea in some quarters that none other than companies with a very large capital should be formed ; but it is as well to bear in mind that our most successful private firms gained their first ex perience on a small scale, and that our most skilful admirals, generals, and statesmen first served their country in a subordinate capacity. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-21fay 1. The May general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions-house: on Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Bodkin, assistant judge ; Mr. Payne, deputy. There were 92 prisoffers named in the calendar, of whom 86 were charged with felony and six with misdemeanour. The Assistant Judge delivered the charge to the grand jury. - George Dowlan, a one-armed soldier, formerly belonging to the 55th Regiment, and decorated with the four-clasp medal for the Crimea, the Legion of Honour, the Turkish and Sardinian medals, and a distinguished conduct medal for saving his colonel, and who lost his arm at the Redan, was indicted for stealing a pair of boots at the house of Mr. Robert Kennett, the Hoop and Grapes public-house, Broadway, Westminster. The alleged offence was committed while the prisoner was under the influence of drink, and he said the things were given to him by a fat-faced girl in the house. The jury acquitted him. Mr. Le Breton was counsel for the prosecution; Mr. Metcalfe for the prisoner. William Shea, 27, described as a traveller, was indicted and found guilty upon a charge of em bezzling money received by him in the capacity of carman, on account of William Hustler, his master. He made an attack on the character of the prose cutor, implying that the latter had wanted to get some money he (the prisoner) was " about coming into in Ireland," at 5 per cent., and that he kept back some little sums on account. The prosecutor solemnly denied it. The court said the original offence had been greatly aggravated by the defence, and the prisoner was sentenced to three years' penal servitude. Thomas Smith, 37, was convicted of feloniously embezzling several sums of money received by him on account of William Lake Woodman and another, brewers, his masters. The prisoner had been a witness against another person, and was now caught himself. His lordship sentencal him to three years' penal servitude. Henry Herbert, 37, ploaded guilty to stealing a silver-plated dish, the property of Lady Emily Hardinge. Lockyer, the officer, proved former convictions against him. He was a well-known thief. Sentence—Three years' penal servitude. John Frederick Lambert, aged 20, a barman, was indicted for stealing the sum of 75., the money of Michael Walker, his master. pleaded guilty, and acknowledged to other thefts. He had placed £ll in a'savings bank. The Court sentenced him to nine months' hard labour. Henry Smith, 22, was indicted, on the prosecu tion of the Eastern Railway Company for stealing a cask of chicory from one of their vans. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to nine months' hard labour. Mr. Tindal Atkinson prosecuted, instructed by Mr. Ashley. (Before Mr. Payne.) Several cases of lead stealing were tried in this Court, and it was remarked that this dais of offence was again on the increase. The learned Judge said it was a most mischievous offence; as for the sake of a few pounds of lead, the offenders cared• not what amount of injury they did to the property from which they stripped it. William Davis, 32, stonemason, was convicted of stealing Gib. of lead, the property of Wm. Thomas Dixon, from a building. He was sentenced to six months' hard labour. Stephen Ramsbottom and John Davis, two sweeps, were convicted of stealing lead from the roof of a house where they were employed in cleansing chimneys, and though there was no abso lute proof of the fact before the Court, there was no doubt that the prisoners had been guilty of other offences of the same description ; one, in particular, at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington. They were not known as convicted persons, which his lordship said was a circumstance that saved them from penal servitude, but he should sentence each of them to twelve months' hard labour. William Carter was convicted of stealing lead, s ic., f rom a public-house at Bromley. He went to the closet on the premises, cut off the supply pipe and brass cock, and did considerable damage thereby. He was sentenced to eight months' hard labour. John Fraser, 20, was indicted for stealing a watch from the person, the property of Frederick Swait. He was found guilty, and Foulsham, the sessions cfficer of the Westminster Bridewell, proved for mer convictions against him. It was stated that the prisoner was concerned in a robbery from the person of some bank notes, for receiving which a pugilist of the name of Hatton was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labour. The prisoner was sentenced to three years' penal servitude. TILE U,.JTED STATES' ARMY. The present strength of the army is 18,112 men. It consists of 19 regiments-10 regiments of infantry, averaging 10 companies of 70 men each ; four of artillery, averaging 12 companies of about 50 men each ; one of mounted rifles, two of cavalry, and two of dragoons—each of the latter numbering 10 companies of about 60 men ;or about 198 companies in all. Of these, notwithstanding the excitement created by the concentration of about half a regiment at the na tional capital, over 160 companies are stationecl a i h n the distant regions of Key West, Kansas, Utah, Texas, New Mexico, California, Oregon, and other places.

The Journal de St. Petersburg publishes the fol lowing treaty between Russia and China : The great empire of Russia, and on its part the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, the aide-de camp general of his Majesty the Emperor Alexan der Nicolaiewitch, the Lieutenant-General Nicolas Mouravieff, and the great Ta-Tsing empire, and on its part the Aide•de-camp General Prince I. Chan, grandee of the court, commander-in-chief on the Amoor, wishing to establish an eternal and more intimate friendship between the two empires, and in the interest of the respective subjects, have agreed to settle : 1. The left bank of the river Amoor, from the river Arg- Roun to the mouth of the Arno,)r, shall belong to the empire of Russia, and its right bank down the stream as far as the river Oussouri, shall belong to the Ta-Tsing empire ; the territories and places situated between the river Oussouri and the sea, as at present, shall be pos sessed in common by the Ta-Tsing empire and the Russian empire, until the frontier between the two states shall be regulated in that quarter. The navi gation of the Amoor, of the Soungari, and of the Oussouri, is permitted only to vessels of the Ta- Tsing empire and of Russia ; the navigation of these rivers will be forbidden to the vessels of every other state. The Mantchou inhabitants established on the left bank of the Amoor, from the River Zeia to the village of Hermoldzin to the South, shall preserve in perpetuity the places of their former habitation, under the administration of the Mantchou govern ment, and the Russian inhabitants shall not be per mitted to offer them any offence or annoyance. 2. In the interest of the good mutual under standing of the respective subjects it is permitted to the inhabitants dwelling on the banks of the Oussouri, the Amoor, and the Soungari, subjects of either empire. to trade with each other, and the authorities are bound to protect reciprocally the traders on both banks. 3. The stipulations agreed to by the plenipo tentiary of the Russian empire, the Governor- General Mouravieff, and the Commander-in-Chief on the Amoor, I. Chan, and plenipotentiary of the Ta.-Tsing empire, shall be accurately and inviolably executed in perpetuity. For this purpose the Governor-General Mouravieff, for the empire of Russia, has sent a copy of the present treaty, written in the Russian and Mantchou languages, to the Commander-in-Chief, Prince I. Chan, for the empire of Ta-Tsing; and the Commander-in- Chief, Prince I Chan, for the Ta-Tsing empire, has sent a copy of the present treaty in the Mantchou and Mongolian languages to the Governor-General Mouravieff, for the empire of Russia.

The summer season was inaugurated yesterday by a colossal musical festival, in which 3,000 vocal and instrumental performers took part, under the direction of Mr. Costa—the solo vocalists being Madlle. litiens, Madame Rudersdorff, Herr Formes, Mr. Santley, and Mr. Sims Reeves. Haydn's " Creation" was the work performed; the chorus, consisting of the London division of Handel Festi val choir, selections from the metropolitan choral societies, and the principal provincial and conti nental associations, accompanied by the magnificent Royal Italian Opera band. We need hardly say the amplest justice was done to the great ensem b le pieces of Haydn's familiar work ; and t_ e equally superfluous to state that Mr. S assigned to a i msig i iiceves produced an immense effect in the part was heard him. The noble voice of Herr Fsooergm " Rolling in to the best advantage in part the base foaming billows," and in nd the irab/c expression and solos were given with a s a te ntleY ; whilst the part musicianly skill by r M il ' une Rudersdorff, was exe of Eve, entrusted to Ma a nd Judgment by which all cuted with all the taste tdeistinguished. her performances areabsolute novelty on this ' thethird occasion was I'itiens waltriumphantly the debut of Mad' e•as a singer of oratorio The only in the English language.

ROYAL COMMISSION OF THE E J18..4N1r- LENT OF TILE lI:LAME& Yesterday the Royal Commissioners appointed to consider the different plans for the embankment of the Thames resumed their sittings, at the offices of the commission, in Victoria-street, Westminster. The Lord Mayor was in the chair_ The other com missioners present were—Sir Joshua Jebb, Captain Galton, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Maclean, Captain Burstall, and Mr. J. Thwaites. The first plan received and considered was one by Mr. A. Brooke, civil engineer, who described it as an embankment from Westminster-bridge to Queenhithe Dock, the cost of which he estimated at £146,760, and he was prepared to name a con tractor, who would undertake the work for the sum he had stated. He proposed to execute the work in connection with the low-level sewer. There would be 8,580 feet of quay, with four lines of rail way, which together with the quay would make a total cost of £273,972; without the public landing the cost would be £146,760. His original plan was to have an embankment on both sides of the river, which would include six quays. The em bankment on the north and south sides bf the river would be about five miles. He proposed that there should b 3 two quays opposite the St. Katharine Dock, another at Rotherhithe, which form an im provement to the entrances of the great docks. All this could be done at considerably under the extra ordinary expense which the public were inclined to believe it would be attended with. The embank ment on the north side would pass under two arches of Waterloo-bridge, and two of Blackfriars-bridge. He proposed to erect a series of magnificent landing places, to be formed of granite. He proposed that they should be formed on the same principle as the quays on the river Tyne, as there could be no ques tion as to their durability, and an enormous saving would be effected. He proposed to drive in piles, saw them off about three feet above low-water mark, and then lay the platform on the top of them. As to some portion of the land that would be inclosed, he thought it should be given up to the wharfigers, as a compensation for being disturbed from the wharves near streets leading to the Strand. The waggons coming from these wharves offered great obstructions to the streets, and he thought, if possible, it would be desirable to remove this trade to some other spot more to the westward. If the wharves were to be con tinued, and they were obliged to keep the trade there, the coal might bo taken over the top of the quay. He would have a second or lower quay, from which the coal could be landed at a low part of the tide. He had very great doubts whether a railway would be wanted ; but if one was to be established, it could be done in conjunction with the low-level sewer. The sewer could be on the land-side of the embankment, and the railway on the top of it, with a bedding of concrete, so as to. keep the tunnel perfectly water-tight. The adop tion of this plan would afford facilities for cleaning the sewer, which he believed would become choked up by heavy materials passing into it, and in many other cases would have to be cleaned out by manual labour, The adoption of this railway would enable persons to be carried to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, which would be imprac ticable by any other railway, as it would be impos sible to compete with the penny steamboats. He did not think that there was room for the forma-' tion of docks, or if there was this part of the river was not the proper site for them. Mr. E. B. Walmsley's plan was next considered. He said his plan was one detached embankment from the main line of the shore, running along the present wharves. He had mainly considered eco nomy and convenience, without interfering with existing interests, for if the wharves on the banks of the river were to be taken away, the vitality of the trade would be destroyed. His line of embank ment would take the course of the present steam boat piers. A part of his plan was to make a canal into which, by means of lock -1, barges could enter at any state of the tide. He did not propose to make a railway, as he believed that there would be a great objection on the part of the owners of house property to it. He proposed to lay down a tramway, with horses and carriages, which would be more convenient to the general public, because they could stop and take up passengers ad libitum at short distances. In the embankment he would put the low level sewer, and in the solid embankment there would be places where steamboats could land their passengers. There would be also openings under the roadway to allow the barges to go into the canal behind. On the embankment would be a crystal arcade, which would be one of the most attractive promenades and places of business in the metropolis, if- properly carried out. The arcade would be of immense length, about 60 or 60 feet high, and as many wide, in which every descrip tion of articles might be displayed. This plan involved no question of compensation, and, indeed, if any compensation was required, it ought to be from, and not to the wharfingers, as they would be enabled to get into the canal at all states of the tide. At present they were compelled to lie for seven hours at a time, resting on the mud, to the great injury of the barges, and waiting for the tide. The canal would always be kept full, but he could discharge any quantity to let in fresh water, merely retaining sufficient to keep the barges afloat. Were his plan to be adopted, no craft ought to be allowed to remain in the river to the incon venience and danger of the navigation, but all should be compelled to be in the canal. Mr. Weller said his plan was for an embankment from Westminster -bridge to Queenhithe Dock, by means of two viaducts. One of them would com mence at Whitehall-place, gradually rising until it passed on the level of Waterloo-bridge, passing on a level with the terrace of Somerset House. It then passed the Temple -gardens by a double viaduct, which would be a great advantage, enabling them to be enlarged bey and their present size. The cost of his plan he estimated at £500,000, including compensation if any was to be made. The low level sewer would be put into the embankment. A space of ground would be formed in front of Somerset House, which might be rendered available for gardens. There would be a roadway of 40 feet wide, with a bracketed pathway of 10 feet on each side. This railway, as the ground would not have to be paid for, would yield an immense revenue. Mr. C. Aicken, civil engineer, proposed an em bankment on both sides of the river west of Lon don-bridge, as tar as circumstances would permit, cutting off two arches of Waterloo-bridge and three of Blackfriars. The width of the river would be at Westminster 820 feet, at Charing-cross 940, Waterloo 980, Blackfriars 760, Southwark 700, London 800. He should surround the foundations of the bridges by coffer dams, so that they might not be affected by the additional scour of the river. The total estimated cost of the works would be £844,000. Mr. Bardwell, of Queen-square, explained his plan, which was also for an embankment from We 9 tminster-bridge to Queenhithe, embracing the low level sewer. One or two plans of a similar description were also presented, and the Commissioners adjourned. PUBLIC BUSINESS. The propositions of Lord Palmerston for amend ing the manner of transacting business in the House of Commons, when divested of the technical lan guage in which they are couched, amounts substan tially to the following:—That committees of supply may be fixed on any day on which the house meets for despatch of business ; that on Mondays, Thurs days, and FridayaGovernment business shall have precedence ; that the motion on Friday for ad journment until Monday shall be abolished, and that instead of it a motion for going into supply shall be substituted: and, finally, that if a bill is referred by the house to a select committee it shall not, unless the house otherwise order, be referred to a committee of the whole house. The last proposi floe may be extremely useful, if the House of Com mons will only give effect to it by appointing committees in ,which it has confidence, and leaving legislation in their hands. There •is no doubt that in matters involving no party feeling, but a considerable amount of nice and technical detail, much time may be saved by this means, and legislation of a better staple may be obtained. Of course, also, the con cession of a third day of the week to Government is a very considerable and practical improvement. The facility which it will give to ordinary legis lation is very great, and the facility it would give to the passing of the estimates would be equally , great, were it not for that rule, which the commit tee have neglected to' touch, which leaves no cer tainty as to the employment of a night devoted to finance, except that finance will be the one subject effectually excluded from discussion. But the question which the committee were mainly appointed to , eonsider, and ott_which their decision is of the greatest practical consequence, is the motion for the adjournment on Friday. The committee state their objections to the discussions which are thus originated. They are inconclusive, for no amendment can be moved; they are irregu lar, because they have no reference to the question before the house; they are unsatisfactory, because various subjects are entertwined and confused, and they are dangerous, as tending to a relaxation of the rules of debate, and throwing upon the Speaker an invidious responsibility, since it is impossible to reduce to order a proceeding in its very nature and origin disorderly. Nevertheless, these questions are convenient, as affording prompt opportunities for _discussing matters of immediate interest. They supersede the necessity of formal I motions, and give a latitude to questions and answers accompanied with reasons. The committee think that a range as unlimited as that now assumed on the adjournment until Monday may be taken on the motion for going into Supply, and they conse quently recommend the substitution of the one motion for the other. If this turns out to be a cor rect estimate of the relative effect of the two motions, it would be mere verbal pedantry to cavil at the substitution of the one for the other, but we confess that the identity of the two is by no means clear, and that we should be glad of further information on the subject. The committee themselves say, in a subsequent paragraph, that the proposed proceedings of Friday evenings, unrestricted, though desultory, would be conducted accord ing to the established rules of debate, on a suitable motion, and with an appropriate con clusion. This is exactly what we fear. The difference between the present plan and the plan proposed is just the difference between a motion and a question, and we fear this difference will be found to be no inconsiderable one. The man who asks the question need not have made up his mind as to the subject on which it treats, or, if he has made up his mind, he may assume a diffidence which he does not really feel, and pretend to with hold his opinion till he has obtained the informa tion he requires. The proceeding is in its nature colloquial and informal, and can therefore ordi narily be condensed within very moderate limits. But the man who makes a motion must commit h:m self to some clear and definite view. No man of sense will do this without being prepared to support his view, and thus a few simple sentences will swell into an elaborate oration. Decisions of the House will be asked for and obtained on subjects on which a decision of the House is not really wanted. Besides, with very rare exceptions, a question is considered as an affair between the member who asks and the Minister who answers it, but motion made and question put from the Chair is a fair challenge to a debate of any length, in which everybody feels that he has a right to intervene. It thus seals that the statement of the committee that the range will be equally unlimited under the proposed as under the present practice must be accepted with some reservation. The subjects discussed may be the same, but the manner of discussion will be very different, and that difference will be all against the time of the house. We hope, before the motion is agreed to, the House of Commons will seriously consider what is to be gained by thus shutting up the safety-valve which blows off all the ill-humours of the body poli tic, or rather condenses a vast mass of expansive and explosive steam into a few drops of cold and harmless criticism. We are disposed to think that these discussions, of which nothing worse, it seems, can be said than that they are irregular, a little com plicated, and perhaps slightly undignified, save an amount of time and prevent a degree of jar and friction in the working of our institutions which we shall never appreciate till we try it. The necessity for many Blue-books is talked away in a few minutes by such answers to quest ions as Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell are in the habit of giving. Parliament does not meet to legislate only, nor only for the purposes of Supply and Ways and Means. It meets also to ventilate, and explain subjects of popular discontent, and to keep the minds of the people in sympathy and harmony with the institu tions under which they live. This has been effec tually accomplished by the much-decried Friday Questions. We greatly doubt whether formal motions will effect it half as well.— Times. THE SUPPLY OP COTTON .FROM AUS. TRAM - A, INDIA, NATAL, JAMAICA, 4e. A writer in a contemporary says :--There are two principal causes (one commercial, the other political) why the people of Lancashire have been slow to take practical action in the direction of helping themselves to an increased supply of cotton. If you will grant me space in your influential columns I will explain the former of these causes ; the latter may be made known at a future time. As a rule, on commercial questions, the cotton spinners and people of Lancashire low the lead of some half-dozen individuals ; to a considerable extent, therefore, these parties are responsible for the past inaction of Lancastrians in relation to the vital question of our cotton supply. "Antipathy to public companies" is the com mercial cause alluded to. I must here explain that, by various processes, the parties who, but a few months ago, were pleased to designate public companies as "bubbles," have been induced to become either directors of, or alders and abettors in, the formation of public cotton pro curing companies. The arguments in favour of public companies are too strong to be resisted. Who would like to see the great joint-stock corporations of our country destroyed ? Are not their directors and shareholders peers of the realm, or the best specimens of our oldest country and most opulent commercial families ? And, including insurance, steam navigation, gas, railway, tele graph, and other public companies, the dividends range chiefly from four to eight per cent.; which is more than can be obtained from investments in the public funds or land. To designate public com panies as " bubbles" is absurd, seeing that the iden tical parties who so speak of them are in the con stant habit of travelling on joint-stock railways, of forwarding quick messages along joint-stock wires, of sending foreign letters in joint-stock steamers, and of burning joint-stock gas—in short, they make an hourly use of joint-stock companies. If, then, these gigantic associations are at once useful, pro• fitable, and highly respectable, how can they be bubbles ? Some persons dislike " limited" com panies because they are compelled by law to attach the word ' limited" to the name of the company ; but is it not a fact that multitudes of gentlemen who possess both sagacity and wealth have con nected themselves with limited companies ? Is it not more respectable to be associated with a public company which declares honestly that its liability is limited, than with bubble private arms which trade on unlimited credit with a limited capital ? Of course I do not disparage respectable firms. In dividual capitalists and private firms have had their opportunity, and they have left ua at the mercy of slavery and republicanism for a supply of cotton, thereby imperilling not only the imperial revenue, but the daily bread of millions of workpeople, many of them being women and young persons. The legitimate province of public companies is to accomplish by means of associated power that Which private individuals cannot or will not achieve; therefore the time has arrived when pub lie companies must obtain by grow th or p urchase such supplies of cotton as are n eeded. Public companies can speedily develop the AYV4 -145, Adam,W. P. Enfield, Viscount Miller, William Adeane, H. J. Ewart, William Mills, T. Agnew, Sir A. Ewart, J. C. Mitchell, T. A. Alcock, T.
