Credit Institu ions have bees established to connect this country financially with almost every foreign market, and to give fact it ies for conveying to our shores every description of merchandi c, it is remarkable that as soon as the operation of import ng is performed the Mo netary facilities are withdrawn Th e bill s d rawn u p on our merchants mature, and must either be net by the mer chant's capit a l una id e d . or b y sales. T h u 4, when tempo rari y there is an excess of any commodity imported, its Price is undo y depressed, and s ricu losses are incurred. Urdinary bankers and discount houses dislike making ad vances upon merchandise, having no organisation for exa- Mining the goods and correct y estimating their value. What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. , To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow beri ledge, the Warrant Bank ng Company is formed. The bu I a of the Company will mainly ,consist in making .dv flees upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly i nspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a proper margin to allow for depreciation. These advances will be maue ia a cetances by l) the Cora ny of the drafts of its custom ers , and p as every bill will re bresent mer handise readily convert ble, and b at the same time secured by the whole ca ital of a powerful Company, the exact position of which will be patent to at , there can be no doubt that the whole Die ount Market will be available when It is desired by tin holder to turn the bill into cash. It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an institution, while it wilt be of great service to merchant., and increase the stability of the cnt re class, will be an equal con venience to ban, c's and els .ount firms, f urhishing them with a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due payment of the Lompany's acceptances certain, the Directors undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company wi I be invested, and, so far as practicable, remain invested in British and East Indian Government securities, a , .d upon deposit at call, at d it is proposed that the capital thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of at least .€200,4 The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of foreign impor s for the past year, which amounted (not to speak of home produce) to over £200,t 00,000. If we estimate the average stock of for ign goods held in warehouse, as equ 1 to three months' o. , nsumption, it would represent an amount of £50,000,600. Advances may also be made when deemed advisable u.7on stocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con vert.ble. A re sonable proportion will always be maintained be tween the extent of business undertaken as d the cal ed-up capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated, simply as a guarantee fund. Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool, Ala nchester, Glasgo w , &c. dm. T Directors will not rec ive any remuneration until the shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend Oh their paid-up capit .1. Alter payment of 5 per cent, the Directors will re..ei, e one-fifth of the nett profits. d_ ertakin No promotion moniy will be paid fo r or i g i na ti ng thi s un g.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing Population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the xuraber of visitors during late years, call for the immediate i ntroduction of railways. The Agricaltural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avave average value ; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea• weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of la nd - carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com- Paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line mill be at St. John's, where the Co ur t s o f T ynwald meet, and which is Wee the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are Conveyed into the int er i or b y t h e same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably t o the a nnua l revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas Peel, Castletown, Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. - The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient, Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above 1 00,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex• pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are eo email as to render the Island most advantageous as a per- Manent place of residenee. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel. The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will b e a b out twelve miles, and the grad on ients easy throughout. Th e l andowners and popula ti along it are most favourable to the project.

The object of this Company is to establish Works for the purpose of Manufacturing, with improved Machinery, which has been secured byPatent, various descriptions of Woollen Fabrics, by the process of Felting, whereby the cumbrous and expensive Machinery used in Spinning and Weaving is dispensed with, and a saving of time and material effected of not leas than 30 per cent. In addition to the production of carpets and the various descriptions of Felted Goods now in general demand, it is intended by this Company to apply this process to a higher class of goods than has hitherto been done in this country. The adoption of Meltons, or undressed Cloth, as an article of wear by the public, opens a large field for this branch, as also blankets, Army Cloth, &c., though the promoters see no limit to its operation. as it is capable of the manu facture of Cloth of the finest quality. The objection to the old Felted Productions is entirely removed by the Patent Process to be adopted. RESULTS OF THE WORKING OF THE SYSTEM. The principle of felting has been in operation to a con siderable extent, and worked with great success. The Felt Company of Leeds, whose Patents are now expired, have carried on this process with a prosperity notorious in that seat of the woollen manufacture. In France and Germany this mode has long been worked out with similar results. In America (whence we have derived so many improve ments) this principle has been fully developed. DESCRIPTION OP THE PROPERTY. The Directors have secured a spacious and newly-con structed Mill, worth six acres of land, known as " Stever ton Mill," in the midst of the Woollen Manufactories of Bradford-on-Avon and Trowbridge, in every respect espe cially eligible for the undertakingehaving the great advantage of water-power in addition to first class steam engines fitted with all the latest improvements—whereby a very large per centage of fuel is saved, and which can be at work imme diately. On the estate are also gas works, cottages, manager's dwelling, stables, and various other buildings, forming one of the most complete properties of the kind in England. This freehold, together with a valuable patent, founded on the improvements made in America, combined with those resulting from many years' experience in this country, has been purchased on advantageous terms, to be paid partly in cash and partly in shares, which shares will not participate in any profit until a dividend of 10 per cent. ie paid on the ordinary shares. SPECIALI'ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY. The advantages posesessed by this Company are im proved patented machinery, auxiliary water-power, and a saving of at least 25 per cent. in the unskilled portion of labour as compared with the North, which justify the Directors in entertaining the most sanguine expectations as to the probable nature of the enterprise, and in which they are strengthened by the favourable opinion expressed by the eminent firms who have signed the attes tation at foot. The Directors, therefore, recommend this undertaking with the greatest confidence, as a safe and legitimate investment in one of the great staple manufac tures of this country, forming a favourable contrast to many of the speculations now offered to the public, ESTIMATED PROFITS. The whole operation has been under a patient and labo rious investigation by some of the most eminent Manufac turers of this Kingdom, and the result shows, after making the most ample hllowance for every exigency, a profit of 25 per cent. per annum on the Capital proposed to be raised; and this on a calculation based on the lowest quality of goods, on which there would be, of course, less profit than on the higher classes to which it is applicable. DEMAND. The steady increase for several years past for the various articles manufactured by the Felting process, assures the Directors as to the demand for many descriptions of Woollen Goods both for home and foreign consumption, which the high price of cotton is rapidly augmenting. MANAGER AT THE WORKS. The Directors being fully alive to the importance of having a thoroughly practical manager at the works, have made a preliminary engagement with one who has devoted many years to the manufacture of felted fabrics ; and who has been very successful in the introduction of im provements in machinery in this increasing branch of manu facture ; and they will not allot any shares until such an amount of capital be applied for as in their opinion will be adequate to enable them to commence on a scale that will produce a satisfactory dividend. Some of the Directors, who are practically acquainted with the process, have visited the works, obtained most reliable information, and anticipate being large customers for the articles proposed to be produced. Accorrirs. Tho Directors, in order to insure correctness and regu larity in the Factory accounts, have entered into a prelimi nary arrangement for tho appointment of a local auditor, whose duty will be to visit the works every fortnight. SUMMARY OF PATENT. The advantages contemplated to be derived from the Patents may be briefly stated to be threefold :- Ist. A mode of feeding the carder is employed which, in stead of delivering the fibres of the woel longitudinally, in terweaves and intercrosses them from side to side, so that the fibres of wool are interlaced with each other in such a man ner, that when the Felting process is applied, the material becomes equally strong in every direction. 2d, A fiat hardener, by which the tension of the fibres of the wool is avoided, and is peculiarly adapted to fine cloth. 3d, The finishing er hardening rollers through which the cloth is lastly passed, somewhat similar to those of a paper machine, and by which a firmness is obtained which has yet never been acquired by felted goods, the want of which has rendered the present make of felted carpets objectionable as wearing woolly. By this new process the hardness and firmness of loather can be obtained, if needful. The Articles of Association can be inspected at the offices of the Company. Applications for Shares must be made to the Offices of the Company. A preference in the allotment will be given according to priority of application. "To the Directors of the West of England Woollen Company. "Gentlemen,—Having carefully surveyed the Staverton Mills,' near Bradford on-Avon, agreed to be purchased by ' The West of England Woollen Manufacturing Company (Limited), I am of opinion that it is an exceedingly eligible and well-arranged property, possessing an area of buildings, together with steam and water-power, fully ade quate to a very large production of manufactured goods, and at the same time capable of great extension if ever needed.

In Liverpool—The Washington Hotel, PROSPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary ; and to supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted no on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, tarnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 3,00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in tee purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing - hotels in London, M anc h ester, and other large towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take Immediate possession of the pre mi,es, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. 'I here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred. If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi.l be returned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wi,l be cre dited towards the payment on a , lotment.

Although the system ofjo'nt-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of trade, it has not bean intro - kiwi tor the business of the Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and though the population has doubled within the last twenty five years—and consequently the necessary vantity of sup plies —yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twenty millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private firms. _ The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Me rropolitan catt e-market ; and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in the azricultirral districts. The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a k no adedge that the method in which dealings are carried on at the Cat'le-market constitutes the bank, the de po,itory of all the moneys passing front the buyer to the producer. The Directors have entered into provisional arrangements by which the advantage of c )mmencing up m en e.tabl shed connexion, under competent and experlenc d management, will be se,ured to Shareholders from the c nnmence meat of busint as, by which they are warranted in expect ing that they wi 1 be enabled to deAare a dividend during the first year.

THE PROPOSED RAILWAY INVASION OF THE CITY. i me b special arailwayconsidercom mittee D Deputy appointeduty Lo T rr, b t hye thischairman Court a o f the short the subject of the numerous railway projects affecting th e City of London, said that he had a motion to make, the effect of which was to empower the committee, in the present urgency of affairs in connection with the projects by which it was proposed almost to destroy the City of london, to at once petition Parliament, and to take any other steps they might consider necessary for the protection of the interests of the citizens of Landon and of the public ; but as Alder man Finnis had another motion upon the same subject, which was of very great importance, he considered it advis able that this motion should be brought forward at the same t i me . (Hear, hear.)

Alderman Fifixis then presented a petition of the com mittee appointed at a public meeting of bankers, merchants, and traders of the city of London, on the 4th inst., praying the Court to take into consideration the various schemes of projected railways in the city of London, with a view to their postponement, is order that measures may be adopted to THE BRITISH COPPER COMPANY (Limited).

Tho reason why the mines purchased by this company have been brought out in one company is not only to save the great expense of dues boards of directors, with three sets of books and accounts, but to insure to the hareholders constant and regular dividends. Where there is only one mine something may happen to stop returns for a time, but with three mines in work continuous returns may be relied on. This is the great reason of the success of the St. John del Rey Mining Company, which pays 30 per cent. divi dend ; for that spirited company has now five mines, which enable it to keep up its great dividends, although some of its mines may be for a time non productive. The Lochfyne Sett is very extensive, and contains three large lodes of copper, running through the sett for nearly one mile and a half. The width of the Grey Copper Lode is full 30 feet, and the assays of it, made by Mr. Mitchell, of London, are 14, 16, 25, and 35 per cent. The Yellow Copper Lode is 20 feet wide, and the assays 10, 22, and 26 per cent. The whole of these lodes may be worked by levels, so that there is no water to draw. There is abundance of water power, which will save the necessity of steam engines to crush and dress the ores. The mines are within two miles of a good shipping port, connected with a road recently made. It would certainly be difficult to find another pro pel ty in the kingdom combining so many advantages. This valuable mine which the company has been fortunate enough to secure is held under a lease of twenty-five years, with one fifteenth of dues. The sett is 500 acres on the course of the lodes. Captain Trevethick's report estimates the average yield of the bulk of the ore at Lochfyue at 10 per cent., and as the average of the Devon Great Consols (which pay £60,000 per annum in dividends) is only 41 per cent., a more favour able result•than even that of the Devon Great Consols may reasonably be anticipated. The Eednal Mine extends to nearly a mile on the course of the lode, and is held under lease for twenty-one years at a royalty of one-fifteenth. This valuable property is situated within one mile and a half of the Reinal Station on the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, and within forty miles of Liverpool, where there are smelting works to take all the ore that can be raised. • At Alderley Edge, in Cheshire, where the same ores as the Rednal are being worked so successfully, the produce does not exceed 2 per cent., and yet that company pays a dividend of 40 per cent. on its capital, proving the value of this description of ores, and giving the best criterion for estimating the superior results to be expected from the Rednal mines. As another evidence that the sandstone copper ores are highly profitable to work, the directors need only refer to the Mansfeld Copper Works of Germany, where ores of only If per cent, yield large dividends, and give employment to 3,000 hands. A provisional contract has been entered into to purchase the Lochfyne, Rednal, and other mines, for the sum of eight thousand pounds in cash and three thousand shares of the company fully paid up; one-half of which shares are not to bear dividends until the company has paid a divi.- dend to the shareholders of at least 10 per cent, out of profits. The outlay required in developing these mines will be unusually small, owing to there being no engine shafts to be sunk. That the outlay will exceed £5,000 on each property, or £15,000 in all, is not probable; in fact, it is more likely that one-half of that sum will be sufficient. The very moderate estimate of 24,000 tons of ore from the three mines, with a profit of £2 per ton, will yield a re venue of £48,000 per annum, or nearly 50 per cent, on the capital The directors have much pleasure in calling attention to the annexed highly satisfactory reports from gentlemen personally acquainted with the working of copper mines. It will be observed that Captain Charles Thomas, of Dolcoath, thinks the Rednal Mine a promising undertaking; and the Lochfyne Aline is one of more than ordinary promise as a copper mine of great value and importance.

Mr. Frail generally succeeds in getting up an agreeable pendant to Liverpool and luring " the stable mind" for yet another two days from their hearths and homes. The coun try bore an extremely wintry aspect between this and Liver pool, the snow lying deep in some places; but the usual good fortune attended Shrewsbury, for the old Wrekin was without the wedding garment of his neighbours, and the racing came off, not with large fields, indeed, but with good contests for the majority of the events. A very neat com pact -looking colt of Lord Uxbridge's, Jack Ketch by name, carried off the County Members' Plate easily, and in the Racing Handicap Prescription, getting quickly on her legs, rushed to the front, and managed to keep there, and despite a set-to with Reindeer, won a good race by a head. For the Cleveland Handicap only Aurelian and Earl of Surrey came to the post, the latter being made a warm favourite from the supposition that Lord Westmoreland's horse could not give the weight; but Goater patiently bided his time, and allowed the favourite to make all the running to the Stand, when ho went up to him, shook him off in a few strides, and came easily first past the chair. Young Grim shaw landed the Herbert Plate for Lord Bateman by his determined riding, Reindeer's severe race with Prescription of course, something to do with his de previously having , feat now. The half-mile Selling Stakes gave a fine struggle be tween Usher and Damascus, the handsome son of Chatham bringing the "green and white stripes," for the second time to-day, first past the judge by a head. The Hurdle Race was won by Vivandiere beating Northam and Over the Sea. The weather was as fine as could be desired, though the attendance was far from numerous.

At the distance Jack Ketch joined issue with the leader, the pair running together to the en closure, where the former, having a trifle the best of it, came on in advance, and won cleverly 1 , .y two lengths, three lengths separating the second and third.

No time must be lost, but he hoped they would be able by strenuous exertions to save the city of London from the mis chief with which it was threatened. Alderman DAKIN said he should like to be informed by the petitioners whether the recent joint resolution of the committees of the Houses of Lards and Commons, by which a great many projects had been set aside, had made any difference in their opinion upon the subj ec t . Mr. MORLEY, who with Messrs. Gassiott, Candy, Tit e , M.P., and some other influential firms in the City, W h o represented the committee, and who, it should be stated, had been invited upon the motion of Alderman Finnic to take their seats on the upper bench of the court, replied that this resolution did not in any way affect their opinions, as a great many most objectionable projects still remained. It was the Opinion of the committee that the best course would be for all the remaining schemes affecting the city of London to be postponed, in order that they might be fully considered, and that none should be sanctioned except such as were absolutely necessary for the convenience of the public, of which the citizens of London were as well able to judge as any set of speculators. (Hear, hear.) Alderman FINNIS went cn to say that at the present time the citizens of London were subjected to the receipt of notice of removal from every enterprising solicitor who thought he could get up a company, and they were kept in a stato of constant nervous excitement, not knowing whether they were to be turned out of their houses or not. (Hear.) Mr. J. SYMONS seconded the motion of the worthy alder man, Deputy JONES, chairman of the Law and Parliamentary Committee, said he perfectly concurred in the views that had been expressed as to the desirability of doing something to put a stop to the proceedings that were now going on, but it had always been customary to place such matters in the hands of the Law and Parliamentary Committee, and it appeared to him that it would tend to weaken their powers if they were divided between two committees. He therefore suggested that either the Special Committee or the Law and Parliamentary Committee should act alone in the matter, and undertake the entire responsibility. Alderman ROSE, M.P., said that he could not see any ola jection to the two committees acting together, and he hoped that nothing would be done to cause delay in endeavouring to put a stop to the mischief with which the city of London was threatened. (Hear, hear.) He could assure them that it was a very serious question indeed ; and he would remind them that during the course of construction of the Metropo litan Railway the trade of one street in their line of works was entirely annihilated. (Hear, hear.) He would leave them to judge what would be the effect of a similar proceeding in the city of London--hear, hear)—and he had no hesitation in saying that if many of the proposed projects were carried out the result would be that the trade of the city would, to a great extent, be entirely destroyed. (Hear, hear.) These railway projects would, also, not only interfere most disas trously with the trade of the city, but also with the leases, rents, and a great many other important matters, and all business arrangements for the future would be at a complete standstill. (Hear, hear.) He could also inform them that a great many of the bills had already been read a second time, and that there was no time to be lost. (Hear.) Mr. H. LOWMAN TAYLOR expressed his opinion that the citizens of London and the public generally were very much indebted to the memorialists for coming forward as they had done in this important matter, and that such powerful co operation must have great weight. (Hear, hear.) He was very glad to see that a proposition that had been made in the House of Commons, that a committee of engineers should be formed to decide which of the proposed railway projects were likely to be the most advantageous to the public had been opposed by Mr. Milner Gibson ; and in his opinion no body of engineers or proless:onal men, however respectable they might be, ought to be entrusted with such power as would have been conferred upon such a committee. (Hear.) He agreed with the memorialists, and as three termini of railways had already been sanctioned in the heart of the City of London, enough had been dcne for the present, and that it was ext:emely advisable that all the other projects affecting the City should be postponed, at all events for the present. (Hear, hear.) It gave him great satisfaction to see that the merchants of the city of London had moved in the matter, and he thought that the Parliament would not fail to give effect to an expression of opinion from such a high source. (Hear, hear.) He quite concurred with the object in view, but it appeared to him that it would be batter for the whole matter to be placed under one committee, and although he was aware that the Court was very fond of new things—he supposed upon the principle that new brooms sweep clean—(No, no, and laughter)—still he could not help saying that he thought it would be better for the matter to be referred to the Law and Parliamentary Com mittee, which had always dealt with such subjects, Mr. RICITARDSON opposed the suggestion of Mr. Taylor, and said he hoped the matter would still be left in the hands of the special committee, which he said he was sure would act with energy. The Lotto MAYOR begged to be allowed to sly a few words upon the important subject before the Court. (Hear, hear.) He said it appeared to him that there had been so much mischief effected by the proceedings of the different railway companies, and so much more was likely to be done if some stop wore not pat to these proceedings, that it was a mat ter of urgent necessity that everything that was possible should be done to procure a postponement of a great many of the schemes affecting the city of London that were now before Parliament. (Hear, hear.) If they only considered for a moment, they would see the enormous amount of work that was to be done in the city of London that had already re ceived the sanction of Parliament. His lordship then men tioned the various important works about to be commenced, enumerating among them the new Dead Meat Market, the new street from Blackfriars-bridge to the Mansion-house, the Thames Embankment, the Holborn Valley Improve ment, and various others, and said it appeared to him to be manifest that if any more were attempted to be done the City would be almost in a state of chaos. The works that were already sanctioned would occasion the displacement of a vast number of traders of the city of London, and, if all the proposed schemes were to be carried out, it appeared to him that it would be almost tantamount to giving notice to the traders of London to quit the city entirely. (Hear) It appeared to him therefore that it was almost an absolute necessity that a great many of the proposed projects should be postponed, at all events until some of the great works that had already been sanctioned by the Legislature had been completed. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to unanimously, and Mr. G. J. COCKERELL also moved that the chairman of the Law and Parliamentary Committee (it having been pre viously agreed to, upon the motion of Deputy Jones), that the subject should be left entirely in the hands of the Spe cial Railway Committ ee ), th e c h a i rman o f the Sewers Com mission, the chairman of the Improvement Committee, and the chairman of the City Lands Committee, with the Alder men present, Messrs. Finnis, Carter, Sir F. G. Moon, J. C. Lawrence, Abbiss, and Lusk, and those members of the Court who had seats in the House of Commons, should be added to the Special Committee. This motion was agreed to. Deputy LOTT then proposed his motion abov e referred to, which was also unanimously agreed t o.

Committee. COAL, Deputy B O NR, C ORN, AND FINANCE COMMITTEE. the chairman of this committee, moved that the report of the committee, which related to the finances of the Corporation, which was brought up on a former day and ordered to be printed, be agreed to. The most material part of the report related to the money received by the Corporation upon the sale of the shares held by them in the Metropolitan Railway. The number so held was 20,000, and it appeared that, through the exertions of the committee, they had been enabled to sell them at a profit of £_37,000. Upon receiving so large a sum of money as resulted from the sale of the shares, which was about £257,000, the committee were for some time engaged in. considering what was the best use to be made of it, and they at length resolved to invest it in Consols, to accu— mulate, to pay off a debt of £ 350,000 that had been a d vance d to the Corporation by the Bank of England to carry out some public works, and which sum bore interest at 41 per cent., and was to have been repaid out of the 4d. coal duty, which was no longer available. This had been done, and the had taken. committee now ask e d th e C our t t o s anction the course they Deputy SCAMELL expressed his opinion that better us j might have b een ma d e o f suc h a large sum of money than investing it i n C onso l s, which only paid 3 ler cent., while they were paying the Bank of England 41 p er cent, upon their m oney. Th e comm ittee might have repaid the money to the Bank. Deputy BONE said that the money was borrowed for ten years, and they had offered the Bank of England to repay it. They, however, very politely, but a t t h e same time very positively, refused to receive it. (A laugh.)
