SECRETARY (PRO TEM.) Frederick Wilkins, Esp. Financial Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great •Financial Associations recently established. It is not the province of the se Institutions to carry out the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un deniable guaran tee for the comple tion of the works, thus relieving the financial associations of that responsibility. of The constantly increasing scale on which public works all kinds are carried out , and the immense capital involved, flue them beyond the re ach of individual contractors un cgs supported by joint-stock enterprise. This :Company has, therefore, been formed far lic the pur- Pose of undertaking the execution of great pubworks, and arrang emen ts have been ente red into with well known contractors, by w hi c h contracts to the a mount of £ 11,000,000 sterling will be turned over to the Company. Among other contracts h anded over to R a the Company is that for the construction of the European Cenilway, 'which has been secured on favourable terms, a nd will be commenced forthwith. The active services o wall eminent Contractor, whose busi ness has been secured, ibe retained to execute the work 01 1 terms highly advantage ous to the Company, he retaining 7; large interest in the Comp an y b y receiving payment !Ct a transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited ereon. .._ It is well known that many undertakings of great corn at_ ercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to ttisure their completion. Th is Company, com bi n i n g the in nuence o f a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence T 1 the part of governme nts, public bodies, and the financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex tensive business on favourable terms.

This company has been formed with the view of develop ing the agricultral, manufacturing,. commercial, and mineral resources of Ireland, and . providing for that country those pecuniary facilities which have so much contributed to the advancement and prosperity of the other portions of the United Kingdom. It is proposed that this companyrshould act— otiating and making lstly.

The wet and waste lands of Ireland amount to more than 6,000,000 acres, affording a fruitful field for the emp!oyment of capital by reclamation and drainage. Capital can also other good profitably employed in making advances on land or other property with the Landed Estates Court ex a p n e and d good titles. Tho want of this ass ociation has been long experienced 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 Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-keown iron ship-building establishment of )Messrs. Martin Samuelson 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 Hum'ber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The present iron ship-building - power of the establishment is equal to the construction of 20,00,) tons per annum, at which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs. Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,00!) tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard,, and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company t aye secu, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand for ships, and to erect rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship builaing, as well as for all kinds of railway and engineering works. In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and slit°. bu tdieg yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a hizhiy profitable part ofhebust uess. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Sam uel ' ta, n and Company constructed it at a considerable cost someyears ago. The situation of this establishment gives it special advan tages over others of a like character. The pri e of ship-build ing labour is lower at Hull thtn in any of she iron distric shipt b u ilding ports of the kingdom; it is in the rer of Yorshire; coa is cheap, rails Sys ru into the works, and connect them with all parts of Engl, n nd. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull oilers advantsge purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. ed at the works. Two thousand workme n are now employ The present orders in hand 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 work s, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that after es ma king lar.tv allowances -3 1 per c ent. - off the capabiliti the works, the trade will, with the judiciouss management and employment of the capital, return end ot 20 per cent. and upwards to the snare h o lders, a amount. works continue to be fully employ el, a much larger Tha te , ms of urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant and machinery, building,s, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to br. taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit on works in hand is to be paid for at one year's pur chase of the net pr ofits, but on an average of three years' working. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned Win 1. Should a less number of shares be al otted than is app! and the deposit will be made available towards the paymut on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 21, Threadneedle-street, and 80, Lombard -street, and of the Brokers and Solicitors.

City Sewers Commission. The members of this commission assembled at the Guild hall yesterday, under tho presidency of Henry Do Jersey, Esq., Deputy. In the course of the sitting complaints were made by Mr. Cox and other members of the inefficient watering of several B o i proper ly discharged and the sanatory inspe ctors of woreth e principaldirected to t s h e O e r t oll ha g t htfhaereentractors their duty in that respect. ernr y a nm io er ib o o u r s n ly .b s a i r gn sw e a d s laid before the Court, asking memorial of inhabitants of Ho A lb v o that those thoroughfares might be properly watered four times a day. instead of being slightly sprinkled as at present. Mr. S. Green, Mr. G. Walters, and other members of the commission 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 and report was, however, negatived by a majority of three. THE ENGINEER TO THE COMMISSION. 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 Dover 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 ho (Mr. Hay wood) u nderstood the a ct of arliament, the company were required to provide, in e recting o the at oh, a clear heoadwaye of t 18 feet, and not, as w as 110 W prposed, a headway flB fe 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 comp an wa s ultimately approved, y provided they made the improved width of 25 feet through out the elevated portion of FJOSEPHeet-lane, as they read a sugges t reported. The principal clerk, Mr. Ihtr.w, from the Improvement Committee, in reference to open ing up the place called Blue Coat -buildings, between King Elward-street and Little Britain, the importance of which in relation to the traffic of that neighbourhood, and more especially in facilitating the transit to e and scarcely from ovt r the ne w meat market , could, in their opinion, b s tated. As a favourable oportunity n ow presented itself for carrying out the improvepment, the committee w ere of opinion that the subject should at once be brought before the Court of Common Council, and they suggested that the chairman should be requested to bring the subject before that court accordingly. . After some discussion, there port was approved. Mr. Tow, the clerk to the Fishmonger's Company, for - Town, warded. re turns to the commission of the quantities of fish seized by the fishm eters of the company dur q uarter, the same b eing unfit for human food. The seizure in the month of J anuary included 14 cod, 28 dorees, 1,367 00 s, 4 ling,93 mackerel, 6 , 885 p laice, 18,8 herring 76 salmoo, 16 skate , 8 thorttbaolts, 17 trout, 16 whitiug , 14 Mr. BAYLIS reported to the court 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 Commissioner! of Sewers, with a view to further proceedings being taken. 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. LETII EBY, 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 minatory 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, ono calf, 33 quarters of beef, and 44 joints of moat. 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 less than five years of age, and 10 oEl=g persons of 60 and upwards. Tho chief causes of death were as follows :—Plithtsts 10, mescnleric disease 2, hydrocephalus 2, pneumonia 6, 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 lunge, and 11 from diseases of a zymotic character. Sixty-five births worn registered, namely, 26 boys and 39 girls. Dr. LIZTIIEBY 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 ComnanY's gag, and once the Great Central was under the standard. The 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 hal 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. Tho advent of General PCel 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 tho betting suggestive of " corpses," " dead ones," and ether names of evil augury. Paris has this year been the animal operated upon. Sup. posed to have been knocked out during the Craven meet ing, symptoms of a revival have been current the last day or two, until the hot s which just before dinner last even. ing was at 12 to 1 found uu talc bold enough to of more than 6 at 10 30 p.m. The London special was loaded, and the various excursion trains brought crowds such a Newmarket lime rarely seen. Thojourney to the heath, to the pedestrian at least, was a work of peril, for the horsemen, and they were legion, were most Cossack-like in the irregularity of their chatges , while an occasional sinanhed panel and the confusion con sequent thereon gave an Einem 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 subjects. 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. Fills de l'Air maintained her position as first favourite. General I'cel was Decked with great spirit and confidence at 7 to 2. They got away pretty punctually at a good start : 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. Tho entries for each of those events—the Prix Principal and the Prix Imp&lel—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 de Lagrange's colours, first passing the winning post for the third time this season. The Prix Impl!rial produced even a smaller field, the race being reduced to a match tetween the same owner's Stra ddle 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. The other events were a selling race, which was cleverly won by the Duke do Moray's Batberouese, a Cossack colt, one of the French Derby lot. The winner was taken by Baron du Meeuil for 7,1011, and the purchase will not im probably turn out a pri lituble ()no. The Prix Biennial Ire. duccd a lot of 10 3-a r•olds, Nepto turning the tables on Gedeon, to which she ran second on Sunday last. In the present instance the places were reversed, Gedeon coming in second, Tho business terminated with the Prix. do :=uresuee, 'for which seven 4-yr-olds started, Count do Lagrange'e stable for the third titne yi sterday turui,hing a whim r with Jarnicoton, who has just arrived from Newmarket, vastly improv( d from his English traieirg. Tho weather during the (lay was magnificent, except the heat being almost over powering. The attendance was large, the Empress arriving about half-past 3, and staying till the racing was over.

Yesterday was issued the ninth report of the Civil Service Commissioners, dated the 9111 or the present month. The total number of nominations notified to the Commissioners since the commencement of their proceedings has been 25,612. During the four years up to the end of December, 1859, the nomi nations numbered 9,7‘52 ; 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 filled 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 blightly during the six years, the range being frctu 2.6 for each vacancy, which was the proportion in 1860, to 3'o for each vacancy in 1862. Of the 813 competitors examined, 291 were found to Le below the standard of attainment to quisite for a pass elm. mination, leaving the bona fide competition to be be• twecn 522 candidates for 278 places, or in tho pro portion of only 1.9 to each vacancy. As a general rule, strict inquiries tau not nude as to the age, health, or character of any competitors except those who are successful in the c nnpetition. The nutub.2r of competitors rctually rejected on these grounds has been 15, of whom I 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 exam minations was 633, of whom 82, for various reasons, were not examined. Of the 651 who were examined 284 passed and 267 were rejected, the proportion of rejections being just 48.5 per cent. Of 615 midi., 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 tho 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, hand writing, or arithe metic—the total number of rejections havin.; 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 parsons 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 oases 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 cal riers 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 competitors for cadetships of constabulary in Ireland ; and 400 cane didates for situations of factory boy and apprentice in her Majesty's dockyards, which situations are now thrown open to public competition.
