Financial Associations recen tly established. It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob .14)11. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera ''.o3l of contractors whose capital and position offer an un deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus relieving the financial associations of that responsibility. The constantly increasing scale on which public involved works of all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital , place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un supported by joint-stock enterprise. This Company has, therefore, been ea formed fer the pur -Pose of undertaking the execution of grt public works, and arrang emen ts have been entere d into with well known contractors, by which contracts to the amount of L 11,000,000 sterling will be turned over to the Company. Among other contracts handed over to the Company is that for the construction of the European Central Railway, 'which has been secured o n favourable terms, and will be commenced forthwith. The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work on terms highly a dvantageous to th e Com p any, he retaining a large interest in the Company b y receiving payment for _lse transfer of his contracts in Shares with L 5 only credited t hereon. It is well known that many undertakings of great corn- Toercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to ensure their completion. This Comp an y , combining the in- Quence of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co operations at home and abro ad, with administrative experi ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence On the part of governm ents, public bod ies, and the great financial instituti on s, as will enable it to command an ex tensive business on favourable terms.

The wet and waste lands of Ireland amount to more than 6,000,000 acres, affording a fruitful field for the employment of capital by reclamation and drainage. Capital can l oo be profitably employe d in making advances on land or other property with the Landed Estates Court and other good titles, The want of this association 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 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 m a de available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron 'Alp-building establishment ties of Messrs. Martin Samuelson e. - dd Co., of HulL The capabili of them works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they occupy 11 acres of grot:aid, with water frontage to the river lumber and river li.all, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The present iron i•hip-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. . Samuelson wad Company have orders on hand for ships Messrs ex ceeding 20,i100 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 ave 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 hulloing, as well as for all kinds of railway and engineering works. In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship builditg yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a highly profitable pat t oi the busi ness. The demand for the us e of this patent slip has been such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. sin and and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some years 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 then in any great iron ot the iron shi districp building ports of the kin,gdom; i is in the t of Yorkshire; coal is cheap, railways run into the works, and connect them with all p arts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the ti mber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions, Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in hand for ships, engines, 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 are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that after making large allowances-3) per cent. - off the capabilities of and the works, the trade will , with the judicious management employment of the capital, return a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to the shareholders, and if the works continue to be fully employ ed, a much larger amount. The teems oft urchase are highly a dvantageous ; the plant a nd machinery, building s, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to b 3 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 profits, but on an average of three years' working. made, the deposits w ill In the event of no allotment being be returned in fu 1.

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 de 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 between 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 be 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 Morny's Barberousse, a Cossack colt, one of the French Derby lot. Tho winner was taken by Baron du Mesuil for 7,101 f, and the purchase will not im probably turn out a profitable one. The Prix Biennial pro duced a lot of 10 3-yr-olds, Nepto turning the tables on Gedeon, to which she ran second on Sunday last. In the present instance the places were reversed, Godeon coming in second. The business terminated with the Prix do Suresnes, for which seven 4-yr-olds started, Count de Lagrange's .table for the third dale ysterday furnishing a winner with Jarnicoton, who has just arrived from Newmarket, vastly improved from his English training. The weather during the day 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. Subjoined aro details of the day's proceedings : The Prix de Boulogne of 3,000 f, a selling race, for horses 3 years old and upwards. Entry 100 f. Weight for ago. The winner liable to be claimed for 7,000 f. Distance about 3,000 metres. 10 subs . Duke do Moray's Barberousse, 3 yrs, 941 b..( W. Pantal) 1 Duke de Morny's Demon, 4 yrs, 1201 b ....

(Mortimer) 3 The following also ran :—Circassia, Mademoiselle de Roney, Heurlys, Canaille, and Don Juan; Betting-5 to 2 agat Cascarilla, 6 to 1 agst Heurlys, 8 to 1 eget any other. Demon led, followed by Mademoiselle de Rosay and Cir cassia. After passing the cascade, Sonfo-Sierra, who was lying seventh, went forward, and with Demon raced away from the rest. On coming on to the en sight, Barberousse and Cascarilla drew near the two leading horses. The latter failed to pass them, but at the stands Baberousse rushed past Demon and Somo-Sierra, and won cleverly by two lengths. Demon beat Somo-Sierra for second place by half a length. The Prix Principal of 4,0001, for 3-yr-olds ; entry 2001, ft; the second to receive half the entries. Weight, colts, 1121 b; fillies, 1091 b, with penalties for winners. Distance, about 2,000 metres. 12 subs. Count do Lagrange's f Soumise (C. Pratt) 1 Duke de Marny's f Dinorah (A. 'Watkins) 2 Major Fridolin's c Torticolis (N. Pantal) 3 Betting-5 to 2 on Soumise. Soumise was first on passing the stands, bat soon fell back to leave the running to bo made by Torticolis. On nearing the last corner the favourite again went to the front, and raced home with Dinorah, who at the stands had also passed Torticolis, Soumiso winning easily by a Ye3torday 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. During 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 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 slightly during the six years, the range being from 2.6 for each vacancy, which was the proportion in 1860, to 3 . 0 for each vacancy in 1862. Of the'Bl3 competitors examined, 291 were found to 're below the standard of attainment requisite for a pass exa mination, leaving the Lona fide competition to be be tween 522 candidates for 278 places, or in the pro pcKtion of only 1.9 to each vacaucs. As a general rule, strict inquiries are not made as to the age, health, or character of any competitors except those who are successful in the competition. The number of competitors ectually rejected 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 net d during the year 1863 for prelimivary test exas mina'ions was 633, of whom 82, for various reasons, were not examined. Of the 551 who were examined 284 passed and 267 were rejected, the proportion of rejections being just 48.5 per cent. Of 515 candid 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, end 7of character. Under the bead 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 arithe 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 ire 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 diplomatio 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. length.

Grande Dame, Astrolade, and Hermine ran well in ad vance as far as the plantation; here they ware joined by Loup de Mer, and coming on to the straight by Jarniooton and Roque. The six then came up to the stand almost abreast. Jarniooton now drew away from the rest, and won in a canter by a couple of lengths, Roque finishing second half a length ahead of Grand Dame. The Seventh Prix Biennial, 1864-5, of 5,000 f, for horses foaled in 1861. Entry 1751; forfeit 150 f. The second to receive 1,0001 from the entries. Weight for 1864, colts, 1081bs; fillies, 1051bs.

Antinous then fell bask to the roar, and Nep ton and Gedeon rode away from the rest, getting a lead of half a dozen lengths. After coming on to the straight, Mlle Duchesnois, Equateur, and Biretto, came forward, but failed in overtaking the two leading horses, who finished the raw together, Nepto winning by a good length. Gedeon passed the winning post two lengths in advance of Mdlle. D aches nois, who was third, and Equateur and Biretta fifth and sixth.

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 sent to London. The meat in question was part of a cow which bad been suffering from a cancer in the leg, and had been sold to a person in the country who killed it, and scut it to a sales man in Nowgato-market. The solicitor was instructed to take proceedings to bring the guilty parties to justice. 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 kris 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. The Court instructed the solicitor to make further in guides into the case, and if advisable to take the necessary legal proceedings against the sender of the meat to London. Dr. LETHEEY, 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 tho corresponding week of the last eight years being 60. Twenty-one of the deaths were among children of less Chats five years of age, and 10 among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis 10, mesenteric 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 lungs, and 11 from diseases of a zymotic character. Sixty-five births were registered, namely, 26 boys and 39 girls. Dr. LETIIEBY 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. 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, rained 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 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 horse which just before dinner last even ing was at I'2 to 1 found no one bold enough to offer more than 6 at 10 30 p.m. The London special was loaded, and the various excursion trains brought crowds such as Newmarket has rarely seen. The journey 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 charges , while an occasional smashed panel and the confusion con sequent thereon gave an 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 subjects. But comparatively little attention was paid to the events which preceded the race for the Two Thousand, and at the time drew near the excitement was immense. Fille de l'Air maintained her position as first favourite. General Peel vas 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.

In the course of the sitting complaints were made by Mr. Cox and other members of the inefficient watering of several of the principal thoroughfares, and the sanatory inspectors were directed to see that the contractors properly discharged their duty in that respect. A very numerously signod memorial of inhabitants of Holborn and Holborn-bars was laid before the Court, asking that those thoroughfares might be properly watered four sprinkled as at present. timeseomm Mr. a Seen, r instead ofeseunp,pmorrted hi . b cit e . n e g memorial,slightly Walters, and other members of the ise urging that in conse quence of the present ineffi cien t 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 fot the ap proval of the commissioners a tracing showing the form and elevation of the arch proposed to be eftwa 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, ilk erecting the at ch, a clear headway of 18 feet, and not, as wP.,a now proposed, a headway of 18 feet ?, in the crown, dim: i ming towards the sides. They, how ever, propose making the thoroughfare 25 feet wide instead of 18 feet. The proposal of the company was ultimately approved. P TO ' t ided they made the improved width of 25 feet through r At the elevated portion of Fleet-lane, as they suggested. The principal clerk, Mr. JOSEPH DREW, read a report from the Improvement Committee, in reference to open jog up the place called Blue Coat-buildings, between King Edward.street and Little Britain, the importance of which in relation to the traffic of that neighbourhood, and more especially in facilitating the transit to and from the now meat market, could, in their opinion, be scarcely over stated.
