Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., T HE HON. MRS. NORTON'S NEW NOVEL, " LOST AND SAVED." it. In ,20 yards more Macaroni is close on Lord Clifden, and Fordham calls upon his horse with whip and spur. Oh, for a moment of the dash and speed which kept him foremost even with the fleet weeds which could not stay ! The favourite's game is played out. With an evident distress he makes an effort, he turns his head from side to side as his lead diminishes on his gathering followers, and the chesnut head and mane of Macaroni shows clear above, but not beyond the favourite's. For 50 of 60 vaids he struggles to maintain his lead, then slackens for a few seconds visibly, and loses by a head. There was a great shout as numbers 7, 15, and 3 went up at the post, and Miccaroni, Lord Cifden, and Rapid Rhone are ranked respectively the first, second, and e t h a s i T rdn i oh De t ni t y he eBoDe Benson's nts r ho b of the race rsa 1863. ccehv;o.an s o take grap n h , a w s h o i n e h t h e r e l g a i s s t t o e c r s the fractions of seconds.

The foundation of instituti ons on the Continent which com bine large capital and credit f,,r financial and industrial en terprise hats now become an established fact, and in many cases their Success has been remarkable. Such institutions may be abused, and become mere instruments of speculation ; but when prudently conducted and directed towards legiti rnat-.t tusiness it cannot be denied that they meet cne of the real wants of the age. England has hitherto not participated in this movement, and the consequence is, that Paris has to a considerable ex tent superseded London as the centre of financial enterprise. London, nevertheless, affords by far the best sphere for a Well managed undertaking of this description. it is the greatest money m ar k et of the world • s the point to which all nations re sor t to raise capital; the place where large contracts can be made and loans negotiated. There is clearly no other money market where concentr.ted capital and credit ought to command a more se ure or a larger profit. England also, in her Colonies, and above all in her vast In dian Empire, affords a field for legitimate enterprise, which is unequalled by any other c •untry. India, with a population of 180,000,W, rapidly advancing in wealth and prosperity, re quires nothing more to accelerate its development than the direction towards its territory of some portion of that vast annual accumulation of lenglish capital which seeks invest- Silent at a low rate of interest. To ally the demand of India for capital at 10 or 12 per cent. with the English demand for investment at 4 or 5 per cent., of itself affords an ample sphere for operations. It is to meet these requisites that some gentlemen experi enced in financial and mercantile operations have associated themselves together in order to form an English company, in alliance with the following leading - ranking houses and capitalists of France, who are about to form a similar com pany in Paris, under the title of "Societe generile p, ur favoriser le developpment de l'industrie et du commerce de la France," the application for a concession being made by— M.

A treaty has been sieved with this party by which they subscribe for 20,000 shares in this Company's present issue, and the same number in case of a second issue, the Company subscribingf or 20,000 of their shares, and arrangements being made by which the two Companies ant as each other's agents, and have the oaten of participating to a certain extent in each others operations. The business will be to negotiate Loans and Cdncessions, assist industrial enterprises, Public Works and Railway un dertakings ; negotiate Foreign, Indian, and Colonial Bonds ; conduct Mercantile transactions ; and establish agencies for large commission business • in a word, to undertake a ll suc h operations as an intelligent experienced Capitalist might effect on his own account with a capital of millions, with the exception of such pur e ly specu l a ti ve transactions as are pro hibited b dit and y the Memorandum of Association. The cre resources derived f rom a large subs cribed capi tal could thes be employed in earning dividend with a com paratively small paid. up capital. It is probable that not more than 40 or 50 per rent would ever be called up on any shares, a further issue being made whenever the increase of business required it. No call will exceed £2 per share, or be made at intervals of less than two months. Instead of fixed salary, the Directors will receive no remu neration until the Shareholders have a dividend of 5 per cent. or upwards, and will then be paid by an allowance of 10 per cent. on the divisible profits of the year; and their interests are further identified with the success of the Com pany by clauses in the Articles of Association, and by giv ng them the privilege of taking a fifth of any further issue of shares. Subjeet to this, and to the subscription of 20,0';0 shares in each New Series by the French party, alt new shares will be distributed pro rata among existing Share holders. 20,0 0 shares have been subscribed as above stated by the French p rty, and the remaining 105,000 by private subscrip tion ; but arrangements have been made for deducting ff om these subscriptions, so as to give the public the option of for 35,000 shares. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association lie for inspection at the Office of the Solicitors, Messrs. Baxter, Rose.

The object of this enterreise is to take advantage of the Impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise Duties, an der circumstances peculiarly favourable, the materials being obtained by a patent process in full ope ration, at prices very highly remunerative, as compared with the cost of similar products in the of en market. It is well known that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which amounted to £2O to £ 9 5 per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con stantly increoing demand for the supply of Woks, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and very remunerative business to a manutactory situated close to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plans, with the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1862, it is proposed to purchase at their actu •1 cost, the under tali:lags of the Itttrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on tinder the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company. To carry out the intended purchase, to double the scale of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the tulle extent the produc tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as a fund of credit, deemed highly desirable for the safe and profitable working of a Limited Company. After providing for every contingency, the net profits calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied to the enlarged production, viz., 32 36 tons of paper, and 25 to 30 tons of manure powder, per week ' will be from £20,c00 to £25,000 per annum, according to thecontli o t e io n n t f,tihthe mar2o mar kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to per pros pects of considerable increase upon favourable , by thedevelopments of general trade, which it is well known is depressed state of affairs i n America, and other di - turbina' causes. A very large share of the capital has already been sub scribed by the present owners of the properties.

Yesterday was most emphatically a bad day for both races—the Derby and the human. It is not often that the Londoners' festival is spoilt by the weather. Since the Prince Consort with the Prince of Prussia saw the race run in driving rain, half sleet, half snow, in 1857, there has been no wet Derby. The very name of the race is associated in one's mind with beat and glare, blue veils, dust, gritty fowls, and tepid champagne, so that, on the whole, the dwellers in this most changeful climate of ours have, after all, but little reason to complain. As with other things, however, so is it with the weather, the present miseries of one wet day are sufficient to obliterate a hundred sunny memories of others; and we ven ture to think that it will take many fine Derbys quite to efface the recollection of the superlatively miserable one yesterday. We need hardly say how bad it was in its weather, and the weather made the attendance thin and poor; and the false starts for the great event, false starts which occupied nearly an hour in the cold biting rain, made every one impatient and angry, and the heavy poached s uor byt 3 will stho s e w honly who stood be state of the c ourse ma d e the pace of the race itself slow, and as m uc h a t r i a l of strength as speed, so t l e h e a k t e , d a t b o u g e e k t h u e p r e , u t h w e i D h e p r l b e a y f e 186 h e on the winner. The morning, however, gave no token of such accumulated disappointments. It had been wet and was dull, with lowering clouds on the horizon, which the delicate attentions of a north-east wind threat ened to bring more prominently forward as the day wore on ; still it was dry though cold, and by soon after 10 o'clock the lines of vehicles of all kinds be gan to splash their way towards the south in their wonted numbers. There was, however, a far greater preponderance of gentlemen clad in waterproofs and carrying stout umbrellas than one likes to see on these gala days ; all the private carriages were closed, the public ones were much more full inside than out, there was an almost total absence of lady visitors, there were none of those amusing little parties cramming open tax-carts and accommodat ing a couple of visitors on the shafts, there were none of the open vans that go so well till a very narrow part of the road is reached, when they break down hopelessly, and, worse then all, after 11 o'clock, there was a most visible decrease in the number of vehicles altogether. Before 12 it had be gun to rain, and in these words are summed up the discomforts of the day. There is no outdoor festivity, however attractive, there is no party to enjoy it, however hilarious, which can long withstand the influence of English rain when it begins in a busi nesslike way on a public holyday. It rained yester day not by fits and starts, with fine but delusive intervals between, but with a steady monotonous downpour of fine cold wet, as if the weather was determined to do its work slowly, but to do it well. At first there was a little playful badinage from the more venturesome of the pedestrians who lined the roads near Clapham, but even this soon ceased as the rain increased, and the jokers and the joked came to equal terms as regarded miseries, and the long dull train of vehicles went plashing silently on, churning the yellow gravel into a creamy slush, neither mud nor water, though possessing all the most unpleasant attributes of each. Thus through Chasm and Sutton wound the long line, its occu pants either cowering under umbrellas from the remorseless drip and plash, or gazing with vindic tive gloominess from carriage windows out upon the leaden sky and mists of driving rain. The roads were deep and dreadfully heavy, more than the usual proportion of horses succumbing from sheer fatigue, and now and then a vehicle itself would Some to grief, founder, and go down with all hands in the mud. But in these latter cases the victims escaped the relentless chaff which always follow these annoying accidents on fine days. There seemed to be a general and not unnatural impression that those who were thus compelled to turn back were rather fortunate than otherwise, and, no matter what their muddy plight, everyone saw at a glance that it must be their own case if, when they reached the course, they ventured to alight and walk a dozen yards from their carriages. At Epsom itself the carriages were joined by an attenuated stream of very damp pedestrians, which the Brighton and South-Western trains kept filtering through the muddy town and out upon the Downs, where both crowd and mud culminated. The miserable state of affairs was more forcibly told here than at any portion of the journey. Where were the negro melodists, the conjurors, and tum blers P Where the ‘ekerrect kards," gipsics, brushers down, performin g monkeys, and precocious children ? What had become of the weighing-machines, the three throws, and sallow vagabonds who parody the "noble art" and batter at each other's faces with old mouldy gloves in hope of coppers ? Where, in short, were all the dingy bedouins of England who travel through to this great gathering, and some how —sometimes honestly contrive to pick up mo ney enough to tide them over till the Cup Day at Ascot ? Scarcely any were visible yesterday. The niggers, washed by the drizzle into dingy half bad given up the songs to which none d t e the rain, and, armed with wisps of would u l castes , i i s straw, did something like a business by wiping the boots of those who struggled over the Downs through the great sheets of mingled clay and chalk, which made them look like pools of whitewash. At one part a whole corps of acrobats, in soaked flesh ings and tarnished spangles, was similarly engaged, though their dress bore muddy tvideece that their professional pursuit s h a d b een t r i e d, and tried in vain, before they were driven to this last resource. What more need be said than this ? Wnat could speak more forcibly of the utter wreck of all the Derby sports, when we find a family that should by rights be standing on their heads in wooden platters, ignobly competing with the boot boys, and seeking coppers for scraping the mud aed slime from the boots of any who had walked a dozen yards P As connee'ed with the Derby the whole picture was painful to see, though turning to the course itself does not mend matters. The Hill opposite the Stand is a swampy void—the course itself is thinly indicated by a dark line of um brellas, looking like rows of monstrous fungi sprung from the damp. The open Stands are empty rows of dripping benches, the covered ones are full, so very full,indeed, as to give forth quite a little steam in the keen air, as though their occupants were simmering gently ; even the top of the Grand Stand itself looks thin and meagre, though every occupant holds up a spacious umbrella, large enough, in some cases, to cover half-a-dozen. But there is nothing doing,—absolutely nothing. Even the stable-boys and racing grooms who lounge about near the Grand Stand, some of whom are known to have seen the favourite that morning, and others who are distantly related to men who had friends in the paddock last year, are of no ac count just now. The first object ofall arriving with out shelter seems to be to find it, and of those who bring their shelter with them not to quit it if they can do otherwise. Comparatively speaking there are no ladies, though, strange to say, in spite of the dulness, there are an unusual number of shirtless "Welchers," who, trusting to fortune and a false address, are willing to give any odds against any horse that runs. Yet no one speculates. Even in the narrow dark winding passages of the Grand Stand, every passage,room, seat, and arrangement in which is a positive disgrace to those wh o h ave charge of it, and an intolerable nuisance to those who have to use it, there is dulness—dulness even in the mise rable sort of half-lighted cellar where the jockeys in their dresses—hard, eager looking little men, come with their saddles and bridles to be weighed. Even in the paddock, that repertory of ea uine beauty, there is not much animation. The rain has stopped, but is certain to come on again soon, and what with what it has done to the course and what it may further do before the race there i s pe r plexity and fear abroad. Yet there is more doing here than elsewhere, for to the paddock come only those who are really interested in the horses—their owners, trainers, and members of the Jockey Club, and chief bookmakers. Early Purl, as becomes his name, is among the first to enter—a tall and powerful flea-bitten gray, a colour rarely seen on the Downs. Though heavy looking, he is a formidable horse, and one which the fast approaching showers of ran make more formi dable every minute. Near him comes Hospodar, a now, for a e eyess time t turn o b splendid-looking black colt—too good lookin g , i n fact, a kind of horse more likely to des erve a tt ent i on in es t t h o e w Pa rk much thanattat tention i E O n p s o o mn him w n n o s w . Nn has towards the favourite, wha comes gently over the grass with along step,light springy tread,and head thrown proudly up, eyeing the antagonists he passes with a quick disdainful stare of his large eyes. With a coat shining like satin, with limbs trained down to the finest symmetry of racing form, he looks at every point perfection—a Derby winner. There was a notion among his opponents that if there was a fault in him it was that he looked almost too light for such a heavy course as that he had to run over, but the objection was regarded as almost captious. Even now, writing after the event, we may fairly say that amid all the uncertainties of the turf there were few things more certain than that Lord Clifden would prove the winner. We question if his defeat of yesterday will much affect his position in future races, for beyond a doubt few finer horses have ever been seen in the paddock. Saccharometer attracted a great deal of attention, and Tambour Major, who afterwards nearly spoilt the whole race, showed his villainous temper at every step. Of the winner and second favourite, Maccaroni, there was but one opinion in the paddock—that the race, barring ac cidents, lay between that horse and Lord Clifden. But, while the temper of the latter was as gentle as a lady's hack, there was a wild high-bred fire visible in every movement of Maccaronicwhich showed him a horse who would stay in the race till he died—pos sessed of a spirit at least which nothing could quell and which when a pinch came would stand his jockey in good stead. Out from the paddock all the horses came shortly before 3, followed by a larger retinue of owners, trainers, and friends than we have often seen before. Tambour Major again shows his temper, stops, ih e, and evidently gathers himself up to throw his rider, when some others come past at a canter and th e racer blood breaks out, and away he goes with a long clear stride streaming over the turf like a bird. The favourite goes down at a gentle canter, held in easily by Fordham, but not so Maccaroni, who, with eon to t s o id h e i , a brea ksfeet into a head g al l t o u p r n a e n d d rapidlydraws c from aa llons side in the stirrups in his efforts to hold him in. It is a long time before they return long enough to gi ve time to the cold wind to bring up the lai n , which again comes down steadily and heavily. At last they come back in twos end threes, some quietly—that is, for racehorses —some at a splitting pace which nothing can hold in. Just at about 3 o'cicck they muster at the starting-post, and another of the long disappointments of the day comme nces . In vain Mr. M'George tries to make a start—in vain does Wells use al his coaxing and generalship on Tambour Major. The horse won't follow, won't lead, won't do anything, but stop the race. Can Admiral Rous devise no rule for such a horse as this? Start after start is made, sometimes halfway up the hill, sometimes only going a hundred yards or so, but nothing avails. Some of the horses are sweating, all are fretting, and many of the impatient weedy ones are more than half tired. The 10th start comes, then the 20th, then the 30th, yet still they are not off, and each fresh failure is hailed with de rision and popular mockery by the crowd, who offer to send for Mr. Rarey or to lead the horse home for nothing if Count Batthyany will let him go. At last, on the 32d, all the other horses get well together, without the wicked one, which st ays aga i n beh i nd, so the flag is lowered , as it. ought to have b een h a lf an hour before, the bell rings, and amid a great shout the race commences, the favourite leading. It seems as if, as with the Marq u i s o f last year, the p o wers of Lord Clifden were too mu c h re li e d on , for at once the desperate risk is attempted of trying to ride down the field. In all great nets, as the pub lic are aware, there are a certain number of horses which at the start can distance anything for a quer• ter of a mile or more, but which cannot " stay," as it is termed, over a long course, givin g place as they fall off to better animals, which can with ease keep with the main bedy, and still have speed enough to pass ahead at once when their rid ers ca ll upon . them near the post. It these horses, and not those which lead up the hill for a spurt, or down to the Corner, which make the " exciting races ;" and it was against these that at the outset the Marquis wasted his strength and lost the rac e l as t y ear . So was it on this occasion with Lord Clifden. Either Fordham could not hold him, or he was trying over so heavy a course to cut down the field. He kept his lead round the Corner and into the straight with the crowd of fiercely gallopping antagonists nearly two length s behind him. But near the Stand the head of Maccaroni showed nearer and nearer, and the powerful frame Early of Purl began to clear itself from the ruck, with Rapid Rhone close upon Winners extra. One mile.

Upwards of an hour was consumed in 32 attempts to com mence the race before the flag was lowered for the start, which was an admirable one, the lot leaving the post in such close company that for some distance, in consequence of the haze that hung over the Downs, it was difficult to distinguish which was leading, but Bright Cloul soon emerged from the ruck and came on with a clear lead, fol lowed by Donnybrook on his left, with the favourite on the far side, with Earl Purl, Macaroni, Blue Mantle, Saccharo meter, King of the Vale, Fantastic, King of Utopia, and Tom Fool lying in a cluster at their heels, Then came Ra pid Rhone, Onesander, Baldwin, Gillie, Giles the First, and Avondale heading the rear division,which were whipped in by Clarior. In this way they ran, at a good pace, half way through the furzes, where Bright Cloud appeared to come back to his horses. On reaching the three-quarter mile post he was beaten, and was immediately passed by Donnybrook, with Lord Clifden at his girths, who were followed in succession by Saccharometer, Fantastic, King of the Vale, King of Utopia, and Ranger, but on Hughes calling to Reeves to let him through, his horse swerved through distress, and immediately after Saccharometer struck into his heels and came to the ground with g reat violence, Hughes fortuna tel y escaping with a severe shak ing,yin Daley as he Fantastic, who was close in his track, gallantl y jumped over the fallen animal,and fell on his nose and knees, f o llowed by King of the Vale, who, less fortunate, struck him a s e he lay on hy the ed knee,ro l le d andover, strikingthe Johnny backoh n his attempt ri to escape, both animals breaking away riderless. King of Utopia and Ranger had to pull off to avoid a similar mishap. This accident left Donnybrook with a clear lead, followed by Lord Clifden, King of Utopia, Blue Mantle, Macaroni, Rapid Rhone, Tom Fool, Gillie, Onesander, and Scamander, the two leaders crossing the road together, but shortly after Donnybrook gave evidence of defeat, and on entering tho straight he dropped back, and his place was taken by the favourite,who, with King of Utopia, Macaroni, Gillie, Rapid Rhone, and Blue Mantle in close attendance, came on with the running to the distance, where the King of Utopia ran up to the leader, and for a stride or two looked as formid able as anything, but then gave way, and the Gillie on the lower side took the lead, but, showing temper shortly after, he as suddenly disappeared, leaving the favourite with Ma caroni, Rapid Rhone, Blue Mantle, and King of Utopia to finish the race. Lord Clifden had a slight lead, which he retained to within a dozen strides of the chair, when Chal loner came w,th one of his well-timed rushes and landed Mr. Naylor the winner by a head, half a length separating the second and third, a neck between the third and fourth ; King of Utopia was fifth, close up ; Ranger sixth, then came Donnybrook, Tom Fool, and Safeguard ; the last lot comprised Dunkeld, Baldwin, Trojanus, Bright Cloud, Avondale, and Aggressor.

The near approach to the completion of our sys tem of trunk railways next cold season renders it necessary at once to come to a decision on many important military questions. The most patent re sults of that completion will be economy of military expenditure, increase of the health of the army, and the consequent greater stability of our rule. We shall be able to hold India with a smaller number of men than 73,000, and the smaller number will be in a higher state of health from the facilities for visiting sanitaria. But a question more immediately pressing than these is, the best mode of transport for our reliefs and invalids to and from India, The present system of transport, in sailing ships by the Cape of Good Hope, is barbarous on every ground, political, financial, and military. If nothing else could convince us of this the example of our French allies ought to be sufficient to do so. They use Egypt and the overland route alone as their great highway to India, Anam, and China. They have organised a system of transports by which in a few weeks a force of many thousand men could be landed on our Eastern shores from Aden to Shanghai. We are within the truth when we say that any moment a force of from 3,000 to 6,000 men will be found at or near to Alexandria. On the outbreak of an Euro pean war they, united with the large staff of the Suez Canal, and supported by the defensive works of the late Pasha, such as the Barrage Fort, could shut the English out of Egypt, could cut India off from Europe. We do not blame our allies, but we cannot but condemn our own folly, which sees a system so evidently so valuable in itself and so powerful for purposes of aggression without attempting to check or imitate it. We have reason to believe that the eyes of both the Indian and English authorities are open to the fact. Years ago Dr. Gordon, C. 8., urged it. The friendliness of the new pasha, so much of whose revenue is derived from the transit through Egypt, and his known dislike to French intrigue, render the present time especially favourable for coming to a decision on this all-important point— how India shall cease to be threatened with being cut off from the base of its operations and the source of its supplies. We might well liken our empire to the human body. England is the brain, India the great trunk, and the overland route the thin silver cord of spinal marrow which it is so easy to destcoy, so impossible to restore. Let us state the case. Tak ing our Indian army at 73,000 men, the number who must pass to and from India every year is 20,000. Annually, at least five corps of infantry, 950 strong, and one of cavalry 450 strong, with 10 per cent. of women and children, rauFA be sent to India. Adding to those the recruits to fill up gaps in the corps in the country, the best authorities reckon the total annual supply of English soldiers to India at 12,000. At present it costs £l9 to send each of these out by the Cape. Returning from India to England there is au annual number of 8,000, each of whom costs for passage £25. As a rule these men going and coming spend 120 days, which to the young recruit and new corps is a time of military and sometimes moral degeneracy. The men are idle and get into difficulties, while the less that is said of the new families the better. Moreover, these 20,000 men for four months every year are lost to the em pire; they are away on a tedious and distant voy age, beyond the power of recall by letter or tele graph, should their services be required in such an emergency as 1857 ; their pay is lost to the nation ; adding that, military financiers estimate the total cost of sending men to India at £25 155., and of those returning at £3l 15s. On the other hand, if these 20,000 men were sent by the overland route from Malta to Bombay or Kurrachee the distance is reduced from 14,000 to 4,000 miles, the time from 120 to 20 days ; and the political advantage ofsuch large bodies of men passing through Egypt and down the Red Sea is not to be estimated. They could do so all the year round, certainly for nine out of 12 months ; and as to cost, a special steam service woald take them at £25 a head from Eng land to Bombay, in addition to the £1 10s. charged for the Egyptian transit. The same service would take officers at half the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's rates ; or our naval transport ships,such as the Ilimalaya,might be employed advantageously in the duty. The advantages--military, sanitary, political, and economical—do not admit of a moment's discus sion. As Kurrachee, Bombay, and Beypore troops could be landed for all the preeidencies,those for Ben• gal being sent by railway to Jubbulpore, and three years hence to any station from Calcutta to Delhi and Mooltan ; if the railway break from Kotree to Mooltan were an objection. At Ceylon, or else where, all the invalids of our force in the East might be periodically collected and despatched to the Mediterranean from time to time, a course which would save many valuable lives, representing Empire so much money, to the army. Our Eastern will always be subject to the risk of great emer gencies like that of 1857, as well as to the chances of a European war which threatens more and more to gather round the Porte and the Eastern questi on . In 1857 the Court of Directors implored the C a _ binet, but in vain till it was too late, to send out troops by Egypt. When finally the 57 t h Regiment did sail from Malta to Alexandria th e men passed through Egypt in pla in clotheee, with all their arms, accoutrement s , packed in cases. The Pasha and kit s l scrupulousness, and told US theyaughed 'At , our might march through with their arms, asthe French ha " always done. Indi a was familiar with the route as a path way for troopsore 1857. overland When, in the sum to Europe before mer of 1854, th e 1 0th and 12th Dragoons, consisting of 1,400 went from Indi to h Crimea,horses and , 00 men, 1 6 at e they passed through Egypt in the hottest months,Fand were scejlealthy and efficient i n th e campaign that Lord Dalhousie directed this route to be strictly adhered to in the event of any further t • ransit. And who has forgotten Sir David B d' atr s expedition in 1801 ? Landing at Kosseir in May and June, he crossed the Desert to Kherie, on the Nile, in nine days, sailed down the ricer, and garrisoned sVexandria. Next year, in the month of June, several regiments returned to India through Egypt. No has than 5,000 men, with cavalry, artillery, and treasure, marched across the Desert, from the with of Pilgrims near Cairo to Suez, in four days, the greatest ease. Deputy HARRISON said that, seeing the parlia mentary officer of the Commission present, he de sired to ask him whether the clauses which had been agreed to be inserted in the Ludgate Station, &c, Railways Bill were to be included in the bill about to be applied for by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, for an extension of time for the purpose of carrying out their railway works. The Solicitor to the Commission, Mr. A. J. BAYLIS, said that the clauses agreed upon had been duly inserted in the Ludgate Station and Junction Railways Bill, but that bill had since been with drawn. The only bill now before Parliament affect irg the proposed railway cud r , :clge across Lud• rate-hill was that propscd vy the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway Company, and they ap plied for an extension of time for carrying out their railway works. He (Mr. Baylis) had submitted clauses to the promoters to get them inserted in the bill, but it was exceedingly doubtful whether this could be accomplished, as the court was not before the house by petition against that particular bill, but against the bill which had been withdrawn. Deputy HARRISON thought that under the altered circumstances it should be referred to the Improve ment Committee to consider whether some steps should not be taken to procure the insertion of the clauses which had by consent been introduced into the is t idbe bill er w if referredan any steps i which tet op had be could m e d n pb w reo i vthemdreanwnt advantageouslye . 0 in He m n a tt o e t v e a e t ko d e t cn h o na tot. oppose the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany's (Extension of Time) Bill in the House of Commons, or otherwise to promote the interests of the City. Mr. MURRELL seconded the motion, which was put and carried. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT (NORTH SIDE) BILL. The CHAIRMAN reported to the Court, that the opposition to this bill had failed, and that the bill which proposed to vest the control of the subways as well as the making of the new street, in the Metropolitan Board of Works had passed the House of Commons. Mr. BAYLIS recapitulated the various proceedings which had been taken to protect the interests of the City, and in particular to have vested in the com mission the control of the subway as well as the new street when completed. Mr. C. YOUNG moved that it be referred to the Improvement Committee, to take such steps in re gard to opposing the bill in the House of Lords, as they might be advised. Mr. MURRELL seconded the motion, which was agreed to. SANATORY CONDITION OF TIIE CITY.
