It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out the public works contemplated in the concessions -they ob tain. They are therefore c om p elled to seek the co-opera tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an tun deniable guarantee for t he completion of the works, relieving the financial associations of that responsibility. The constantly increasing scale on which public works of all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved, place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un less supported by joint-stock enterprise. This Oompany has, therefore, been formed far works, the pur pose of undertaking the ex ecution of great public and arrangements have been entered into with well known contractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000 sterling will be turned over to the Company. Among other contracts h anded over to ral R a the Company is that for the construction o f the European Centilway, Which has been secured on favourable terms, and will be commenced forthwith. The active services of a n eminent Contractor, w hose busi ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work n terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining 'o a large i n t ere st in the Company by receiving payment for the transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited thereon. It is well known that many undertakings of great com mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to ensure their completion. Th is Com p any, combining the in fluence of a large subscribed capital, extensive fi n ancial co operations at home and abr oad, with administrative experi ence and ability, w ill secure such an amount of confidence en the part of governme nts, public bod ies, and the great financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex tensive business on favourable terms. Prospectuses, w ith forms of application, may be obtained at the O ffi ces of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli citors, and Bankers. In the event of no allotment bein g made the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

This company has been formed with the view of .develop ing the agricu ltural, manufacturing, commercial, and mineral reso urce s of Ireland , and providing for h that t co . u b nt t ry those pecuniary facilities which have so muc con ! ued to the advancement and prosperity of the other portions of the United Kingdom. It is proposed that this company should act — It is As a Finance Company,_for negotiating and making advances upon approved real and p iii•sobnal securities, and if necessary the using and dealing in e the same. The taking contracts for railways or other works ; the receiving moneys on deposit, and generally transacting financial business as principal or agent. 2dly, As a Land Credit Company, for buying, selling, making advances on, and dealing interests in real propert of all descriptions and tenures, and of all estates and therein, including rho erection of buildings thereon, and improving, or repairing the same. for reclai min g , 3dly. As a Land Improvement Company, and const ruct. all wo draining, and improving lands, and making ing roads, and executing rks ; and, either as p rinci p al or agent, making estimates and entering into contracts for the same. 4thly. As agent, by affording facilities for the association of capitalists desirous of taking a limited interest in remu nerative undertakings of a local character , either pr ivately or by introducing them to the public. The wet and waste lands of Ireland amount to more than 6,000,C09 acres, affording a fruaul fiel rhe employment of capital by reclamation and drainage. Capital can also be profitably employed in making advances on land or other property with the Landed Estates Court and other experienced good titles. The want of this as sociation has been long by those most competent to form a sound judgment on such a question; and it is generally admitted that the proper time has arrived when such an undertaking can be successfully carried out. The articles of association may be seen at the solicitors of the company. In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and th e b a lance, if any, returned to the applicant.

BAYLIS, Esq., the solicitor to the commission, re ported that he had made inquiries into the circumstances under which a quantity of diseased meat was recently con demned as unfit for human food,which was s nt to London. The meat in question was part of a cow which had been suffering from a cancer in tho lea, and had been sold to a person in the country who killed it, and sent it to a sales man in Newgate-market. The solicitor was instruc'ed to take proceedings to bring the guilty parties to justice. Mr. BAYLIS reported to the oourt another instance of a seizure by one of the inspectors of the commission of a num ber of carcasses of sheep, of which 11 were more or less diseased. The meat was condemned by Alderman Mechi, who directed the case to be reported to the Commissioners of Sewers, with a view to further proceedings being taken. Water Works Cbinpany.

The Court instructed the solicitor to make further in quiries into the case, and if advisable to take the necessary legal proceedings against the sender of the meat to London. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, presented his weekly report on the sanatory condition of the City. Three hundred and forty-two houses had been visited by the in spectors, and he submitted a list of 171 places for sanatory improvement. The markets and slaughter-houses had been duly inspected during the week, and the officers had con demned 4,6451b5. of meat unfit for human food. It consisted of 10 sheep, one calf, 33 quarters of beef, and 44 joints of meat. 2,5201b5. were diseased, 8001bs. were putrid, and 725 lbs. were from animals that had died from accident or dis ease. The mortality returns for the week are a little below the average for the season. Last week the number of deaths was 54, the average for the corresponding week of the last eight years being 60. Twenty-ono of the deaths were among children of leas than five years of age, and 10 among persons of GO and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis 10, mesenteric disease 2, bydrocephalus2, pneumonia 5, bronchitis 6, continued fever, small-pox 3, whooping cough 3, measles 2, and diarrhoea 1, making together 14 deaths from tubercular diseases, 11 from inflammatory affections of the lungs, and 11 from diseases of a zymotic character. Sixty-five births were registered, namely, 26 boys and 39 girls. Dr. LETREBY further reported that the illuminating power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had on the average been above the requirements of the act of Parliament; but upon one occasion the power of the City Company's gas, and once the Great Central was under the standard. Tho properties of sulphur had, except in the case of the Chartered Company, been in excess of that sanctioned by Parliament, Some other business was disposed of, and the commis sioners adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING ! MEETING. THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS DAY. Graced by the presence of Royalty, with weather which in itself was a keen enjoyment, and an attendance of the general public, in addition to the habitues of the place, as large probably as Newmarket has ever known, the great Spring event, only yielding in importance to the Derby, has come off this year with unusual eclat. " The Guineas," always the occasion of Newmarket's gayest and most crowded gathering—the first foreshadow ing of a solution to the Derby mystery—boasted on this occasion the largest entry on record, and with the propor tionate value of the stakes, of course, raised a still greater interest in turf circles. In common with the other Spring events, as we have before had occasion to remark, it has been affected by the general languid tone of the market, but within the last two or three weeks speculation has been much brisker. The advent of General Peel and Copen hagen into the betting has led to some heavy wagering, and, combined with the temporary retirement of Paris, and an occasional hostile demonstration against the French mare —whose position, however, has never been materially shaken—a much-wanted impetus has been given to the state of affairs. The Two Thousand is generally noticeable for some of those mysterious movements in the betting suggestive of " corpses," " dead ones," and other names of evil augury. Paris has this year been the animal operated up at. Sup posed to have been knocked out during the Craven met t- Mg, symptoms of a revival have been current the last day or two, until the horsy which just before dinner last even ing was at 12 to 1 found no one bold enough to offer more than 5 at 10 30 p.m. The London 92ecial was loaded, and the various excursion trains brought crowds such as Newmarket has rarely seen. Thel.....er to rho heath. iv the oedestri.om ae least o -ww-... work of peril, for the horsemen, and they were legion, were most Cossack-like in the irregularity of their charges , while an occasional smashed panel and the confusion con sequent thereon gave au Epsom character to the throng. The Prince of Wales arrived at the commencement of the day's sport, and was allowed, we are happy to say, to enjoy it unmolested by the too obtrusive loyalty of his future suljects. But comparatively little attention was paid to the events which preceded the race for the Two Thousand, and as the time drew near the excitement was immense. Fille de l'Air maintained her position as first favourite General Peel la as backed with great spirit and confidence at 7 to 2. They got away pretty punctually at a good start : as they approached the bushes it was evident the race was over, General Peel, pulling double, came up the hill, followed by Paris, Hollyfox, and Historian, and, though Fordham made strenuous efforts to reach him, Lord Glasgow's colours were borne past the chair amid tremendous cheering by a clear length.

Of the five events comprised in the card on Monday two may be said to have produced no race at all. The entries for each of those events—the Prix Principal and the Prix Imperial—contained a hone so immeasurably superior to the rest, that the majority of the owners of the remainder appeared to prefer not starting their horses to encountering certain defeat. For the Prix Principal, of the 12 horses co loured on the card three only came to the post—Soumise, on which 3 to 1 was laid, carrying Count do Lagrange's colours, first passing the winning post for the third time this season. The Prix Imperial produced even a smaller field, the race being reduced to a match tetween the same owner's Stra della and Mr. Carter's Nobility, and the long odds of 10 to 1 laid in favour of the former showed, as was proved to he cor rect by the result, that her adversary's chance was small. Tho other events were a selling race, which was cleverly won by the Duke do Morny's Batberousse, a Cossack colt, one of the French Derby lot. The winner was taken by Baron du Mesuil for 7,101 f, and the purchase will not im probably turn out a profitable ono.

The Company has been formed for purchasing, and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building, establishment of Messr s. Martin ztamuelson and Co., of HulL The capabilities of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river Humber and river Hull having a depth of water ot 30 feet. The present iron .hip,-building power ot th establishment is equal to the construction of 20,00) tons per annum, at which rate the vorks are now being carried on. Messrs. Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,03 i tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard, and which Messrs. Samuelso n and Company gave secured, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand for ships, and to ere't *oiling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for sh',p building, as well as for all kinds of railway an d engineering works.

The pri e of ship-build ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship building nee:is of the kietraein; it io in the great iron district or i orksl'Are; coal is cheap, railways run into the works, and connect them with all parts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous which con ditions. Two tousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in band for ships, eng:nes, and general engineering work amount to above £300,( 00, all at very remu nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who hew specially acquainted g with this branch of manufacture, t large allowances-3 1 per cent. off the capabilities of the works, the trade will, with the judicious management per cent. and employment of the capital, return a dividend ot 20 and upwards to the shareholders, and if the works continue to te fully employe'', a much larger amount.

In the noire° of the sitting complaints were made by Mr. Co and other members of the inefficient watering of several of the principal thoroughfare s, *ere directed to see th at the c ontractors p ro p erl y discharged their duty in that respect; and the sanatory inspec tors A very numerously signed memorial of inhabitants of Holborn end Holhoria=bai's *as laid before the Co asking that those thoroughfares might be properly watered four times a day, instead of being slightly sprinkled as at present. Mr. S. Green. Mr. t. Walters, and other inernbers Of the CoMmiision supported the memorial, urging that in conse quence of the present inefficient watering the tradesmen of the locality were greatly injured. A motion to refer the subject to a committee to consider TH E ENGINEER TO THE COMMISSION. a majority of three and Inert was, however , ne g ati ved by Mr. W. HAYWOOD read a communication he had received from Mr. Joseph Cubitt, engineer, who in accordance with the provisions of the London, Chatham, and foyer Railway (Metropolitan Extension) Act, 1860, submitted for the ap proval of the commissioners a tracing showing the form and elevation of the arch proposed to be erected for carrying the railway above mentioned over Fleet-lane. As he (Mr. Hay wood) understood the act of Parliament, the company were required to provide, in erecting the arch, a clear headway of 18 feet, and not, as was now proposed, a headway of 18 feet in the crown, diminishing towards the sides. They, how ever, proposed making the thoroughfare 25 feet wide instead of 18 feet. . The proposal of the company was ultimately approved, provided they made the improved width of 25 feet through out the elevated portion of Fleet-lane, as they suggested. The principal clerk, Mr. JosEpir Dituw, road a report from the Improvement Committee, in reference to open ing up the place called Blue Coat-buildings, between King Edward-street and Little Britain, the importance of especially ion thettraffie of that neighbourhood, and in il ativ.g, the transit to and from the whichni ne o N r y e in pmeseat ia market, could., in their opinion, be scarcely over stated. As a fo.vourel,lo opport unity now presented itself for carrying out tiro. 'anprovement, the committee were of opinion that the irv i .o jeet should at once be brought before Amon Council, and they suggested th at the the ch C a ir m o Court of o s li f o C r ol be re quested to bring the aulleot before that court 9 ,ecordingly.

At Craven Cottage, Mr. Fisher putting on a spurt, drew ahead, and despite the strenuous efforts of the opposing crew, succeeded in winning by three lengths. RACING FIXTU MJ 1 1tES FOR 1864. AY.

Yesterday was issued the ninth report of the Civil Service Commissioners, dated the 9th of the present month. The total number of nominations notified to the Commissioners since the commencement of their proceedings has been 25,612. Daring the four years up to the end of December, 1859, the nomi nations numbered 9,752 ; during the last four years they have amounted to 14,757 ; those for the year 1863 being 3,605. The number of nominations dis posed of in Class I—superior situations, clerkships, &c.—has been 1,429, and the number of certificates granted 609. Of the appointments thus fiiled 253 have been made the subject of competition among 813 candidates, and 356 absolute nomination. The ratio of the number of competitors to the number of vacancies for which they competed has varied but slightly during tha sip yews, the range being frcni 2•G for each vacancy, which was the proportion is 1860, to 3 . 0 for each vacancy in 1862. Of the 813 competitors exe.mined, 291 were found to be below the standard of attainment requisite for a pass exa- mination, leaving the bona ficle competition to be be tween 522 candidates for 278 places, or in the pro portion of only 19 to eceb vacancy. As a general mic e -atria inquiries ere not rui.de es to the age, health, or characrer of any competitors except those who are successful in the competition. The numb:r of competitors ectually rt jemcd on these grounds has been 15, of whom 4 proved to be disqualified in re spect of age, 7 in respect of health, and 4 in respect of character. The total number of candidates nomi nat• d during the year 1863 for preliminary test exa minations was 633, of whom 82, for various reasons, were not examined. Of the 551 who were examined 284 passed and 267 were reje cted, the proportion of rejections being just 48.5 per cent. Of 515 candi dates who received absolute nominations, 356 have obtained certificates, 122 failed to pass their exami nation, 5 proved ineligible in point of age, 4 were unable to satisfy the Commissioners of their fitness in respect of health, and 3 in respect of character. In 25 cases the nomination was cancelled or the candidate failed to appear. The total number of candidates of this class rejected in 1863, on age, health, and character, was 27—viz., 9 on the ground of age, 11 on the ground of health, and 7of character. Under the head of knowledge and ability, as in former years, nearly all the rejections have been due to failure in the elementary subjects. Throughout the whole of the Commission's proceed ings, during eight years and a half, only 183 can didates of this class have been rejected without having failed in orthography, handwriting, or arith4 metic—the total number of rejections having amounted to 2,334. The number of nominations disposed of in Class—inferior situations—has been 2,109 ; in 46 cases these nominations have been sub sequently cancelled ; 1,663 certificates have been granted ; 139 persons were rejected for failure in their examination, 51 were found to be disqualified in respect of age, 49 in respect of health, and 61 in respect of character. In 86 cases the candidates failed to appear, and four candidates were unsuc cessful in competition. It need hardly be said that the standard of examination for this class is very low. For the great majority of situations nothing is required beyond reading, writing, elementary arithmetic, and (in the case of letter carriers and. rural messengers to the Post-office) the reading of handwriting. To some officers, such as artificers in the Admiralty dockyards, no literary test has been applied. Of the 1,663 certificates which were granted, 145 were of this character. In addition to the 3,605 candidates who have been nominated during the past year to situations requiring certifi cates, the Commissioners have examined a consider able number of persons at the request of the heads of different departments. Under the category are included 23 paid attaches, or third secretaries, in the diplomatic service ; five inspectors of schools and examiners under the Education Department of the Privy Council, who are examined only as to their physical qualifications ; 59 comp et i tors f or cadetships of constabulary in Ireland ; and. 400 can didates for situations of factory boy and apprentice in her Majesty's dockyards, which situations are now thrown open to public competition.
