In January 1867 the shareholders were informed that the capital and the reserve fund were intact, that a gross profit of £83,000 had been earned, and that a dividend of 8 per cent. would be paid them. Ten months later the bank stopped payment, and the shareholders then learnt that the whole of the capital and the reserve fund were lost, and that between £400,000 and £500,000 would be required to pay the debts of the bank. For a whole year an inquiry has been going on into the transactions which have brought about this disastrous result. The investigation disclosed such disgraceful misconduct that the official liquidators attempted to suppress the report of the investigators. As it is, only a modified and softened report has been published, but it is so damaging that it is difficult to imagine how anything can be worse. Mr. lluTcmsoN, it appears, who as principal director ought to have been most active in protecting the interests of the shareholders, ran in debt to the bank to the amount of £103,477. No doubt he did wisely in his day and generation. He knows well enough that- " it is as well to be hung for a sheep as for a lamb ;" nay, better, for all experience shews that while the pickpocket gets sent to prison, the bank director gets nothing but admiration at the largeness of his plunder, and may, if he • silk —.--Ualifornia possesses many advantages as ,bleutin-gNwing country chief amongst which may ,gise a ,„led the fact th ' et the worms do not become 4k et --..(1 48 id so often the case.

We shall have nothing ran next week at any of the meetings, with the exception of Lincoln, whore we have The Spy in the Lincoln Handicap. No hors© can be doing better than he is at present, and if wanted for I his race he will take an immense deal of boating. Liverpool Cup—We have Taraban, Viscount, The Spy, Lady Zet land, and Blacklock. At the weights, The Spy and Black lock have the bust chance. The folowing horses are in strong, active work, and looking in the bloom of health: —Lady Zetland, George Osbaldistone, colt by Crarnond Louisa, Malta, Queen of York, Lapidist's dam filly, Con sternation, colt by The Cure, Blacklock, Dutch. Admiral, Fichu, Di Spanker, Viscount, and The Spy. Agrippa, after his long rest has again made his appearance. HEDNESFORD.--MealiWOOd is in the Steeplechase at Lincoln, and Ottoman is in the Handicap. Meanwood goes much in her old style, and is remarkably fresh for an old one. Ottoman has been performing at Newmarket, so your subscribers have a chance of judging for themselves about him. Uncas is in at Worcester, but I don't fancy he goes quite so well as he did in the spring. He has of late been doing good mile work. Melody, Ettrick, Kernel, Barnabo, Peg Woffington, and Turnover have been doing half-mile canters and mile gallops. Fan is now doing three miles every morning as well as ever I saw her, Susan does mile work, and Pantaloon is piloting Hunter, to whom he is a good schoolmaster. Alicia is taking thangs easy. Saunders has been giving Round Text strong work for the Liverpool Runt Club Meeting. This horse looks more like following hounds. President Lin coln and Cawnpore go some good mile gallops ; and the same may be said of Stanton, Mignonette, Beaudesert, Rescue, Life Guardsman, and Nogara. Hopwood has been doing good mile work with Knight of the Elms and Side Drum. East Lancashire and Success patronise the Far Hills and go the Coppy gallop at about three-parts speed, both looking fresh and well. Eskrett's lot are going the round canter, with the exception of Edinburgh and Arigill, who have paid a visit to Ellesmere. Heather Bell, Jenny Mills, Masquer, and Nonsense have been doing mile work. WORCESTER. —Worcester Handicap---Christmas Carol or Vortigern. Nursery Plate—Palmitiue, Gipsy, or Lady Evelyn filly. Handicap Plate— Barnabo or Lute. Handicap Hurdle Race—Jezabel and Harrington. Autumn Flying Stakes—Snow drop and Catton. Grand Stand Plate—Lute, Prince Regent, or Vortigern. Severn Bank Stakes—Sir William or Brighton. Grand Annual Steeplechase —Huntsman's Daughter or Globule. MIDDLEKAM.—On Tuesday, Fobert sent Etoile lento, Lady Henriette, and Lady in Waiting the two-mile gallop at a nice half speed. Masterman's Honesty and Honostish did steady work of a mile and a quarter, as did also Osborne's Little Duke, Conrade, and Weather Star. Win ter sent Palisade, Three per Cont., and Aj ix a good two mile gallop. The Viscountess colt, Farceur, Affection, Flying Jib, Artichoke, Light Cloud, and Woodbine gal loped a mile. Dawson's lot did nice work of a mile and a quarter. Wednesday—Dawson sent the Czar, Tynedale, The Dean, Donaldbain, King of the Fairies, Tabouret, Mandrake, Argyle, Good Hope, Calistoga, and Minster Bell the mile and a quarter gallop. Then Mandrake, Tyne dale, and Calistoga finished up with a two-mile gallop. Winter's, Osborne's, and Masterman's all did nice mile work, as did also H. Hall's Moll and Dick. Fobert sent Etoile Filante, Lady Henriette, and Lady in Waiting two miles at a nice pace. Thursday—Winter sent his lot the mile and a quarter gallop thrice. Dawson did the same with Mandrake, The Dean, Tynedale, King of the Fairies, Donaldbain, Tabouret, Minster Bell, Calistoga, Marking ink, Hymen, Argyle, and the Czar. Pretender, T horwald sen, and several others are walking about. The first named has done well with his rest since Newmarket, and should l►e go on as he is doing now, he will make a splen did horse next year. Thorwaldsen is also very fresh and much improved. STANTON. - For Worcester wo have Fidelia, Christmas Carol, Jeannie Deans, Conundrum, and The Returned no minated for the Worcester Handicap, my preference being for Fidelia and " the Carol." Nursery Plate.—Lord of the Valley, Palmitine, Lady Evelyn filly, and Abyssinia are in, and I should recommend the numbers to be up before touching either, as it is quite uncertain which is meant. Plate of 30 sous.—Ada is in, as well as in the Grand Stand Plate with Christmas Carol, and whichever they send her for she will about win. Autumn Flying Stakes.—Salliet, Catton, Jeannie Deans, The Returned, Abyssinia, and Parma are entered. I should fancy Parma if she goes. Jezabel is in the Hurdle Race, and should they want her will about win. All the above are in good work, and will be dangerous as soon as the numbers are up. On Tuesday morning an unfortunate accident happened to a lad named Amies, who has figured in public several times. EPSOM.—We shall be busy at Harrow on Tuesday and Wednesday next. We have no less than ten engaged in the Handicap Plate—Landlord, Marquis of Worcester, War like, Bonnie Katie, Lord Derby, Rampart, Nanny, War Queen, Otho, and Bianca, and every one of them is fit and well but I prefer the chance of Lord Derby. In the Nursery, of Bonnie Katie, Nan ny T hormanby, S lowman, Lad of Scot land, Juanita, Mercury, Envelope, and Bianca, I shall plump for the top weight. Queen Ebba, Brown Jug, Li cymnia, and Lord Derby are in the Stanmore Stakes, Bal der and Patience in the North-Western Stakes, and the Wild Huntsman mare in the Maiden Steeplechase. In the Middlesex Grand Open Steeplechase, llelice, Bannock burn, and Patience are engaged, and if the stake is good enough for Bannockburn he will win. Balder is the only one we have in the Steeplechase Plate. At Worcester Grand Duke is in the Autumn Handicap, and will win if he runs, and as Nightingall has The Lad of Scotland in the Nursery, I think they will both go to Worcester. Mr. Hughes will laud the Flying Stakes with Macduff or Ile renniauus. Balder and the Spy aro in the Severn Bank Stakes, and Relics, L.S.D., and Golden Cross in the Grand Annual, but your readers must let Mr. Studd'a horses alone at present. LEWES.—For Harrow we have engaged in the Nursery Handicap Lady Lavender and Redbreast, and they have both been doing some good work, but of the two I prefer the last named. Lady Lavender has gone to Newmarket. Nothing at home is worth reporting, with the exception of a few yearlings cantering about, of which it is needless writing. LINCOLN.—Autumn Handicap—Three per Cent. or The Spy. Blankney Stakes—Crucifixion filly or Bobespierre. Burton Stakes—Edinburgh and Historip. Johnstone Plate—Bel Giorno, Conster nation, or Pearlfeather. Nursery Handicap—Con sternation, Bonnie Katie, and April Morn. Hainton Handicap—Epworth, Ventnor, or Sir T. Johnstone's selected. REMAERS. The irregularities of pressure, noticed for the last few days, appear to have resulted in a serious gale. The decrease since last evening in Ireland is more than half an !nil, and a further decrease of '2sln, is reported from Holyhead, between eight and ten o'clock to-day. One the N. and E. coasts a slight increase is noticed since yesterday morning. The lowest reading is at Greencastle, which is O'din. less than that at Rochefort. A considerable .Ise in tempera ture has taken place in the S. of Ireland, but a fall is reported on our E coast. The N.W. wind, which set in suddenly yesterday, has been suc ceeded by a violent gale, the wind backing to S.W. at Cape Clear and the entrance of the English Channel, and S.S.E. in the Irish sea. The wind, though light, is generally south-westerly on other coasts. Mae weather is very unsettled much rain has fallen, especially in Ireland, and it is now raining on the S. and W. coasts. The sea is very high on the Irish coast and at rgnZ4nee, Warnings rep; w ile d . • . to all coasts yesterday. TRAINING REPORTS. RicumoNn.—On Tuesday, Anne Stewart went about a mile and a quarter at half-speed. Ladas, Ortie, Caprera, Annie, Sweet Annie, The Gleaner, and Intricate took steady work ; and in the evening 3loccoletto left here for Newmarket. Lund's did very littlo. Watson galloped Auchinlock, Raunds, Evelina, Last Roso of Summer, Hind, Virtue, Elvire, Man of Ross, and the National Guard colt gently. Wednesday.—Much the same was done. Man of Ross and Raunds were doing about a mile and a half ; Virtue and Buttercup the same. Adamant and Atreus went a mile and a half steadily. Thursday.—Buttercup and Auchinleck took a mile and a half steady gallop. Sweet Annie and Prior galloped a mile Caprora went a mile and a half sharply. Evelina, Last Rose of Summer, Hind, and the Cure colt wont nicely about a mile and a quarter. There are a fine lot of yearlings getting very forward, and promising to race well. NEWMARKET. —For the Lincoln Handicap, Knight of the Garter has been going on very well. Van Amburgh has been leading Kettleholder and Python all their work, and is very sound and fit to run. Lady Coventry has not done much since she ran in the Cambridgeshire ; a day or two's rest will do her no harm, and she will probably be kept for the Liverpool Autumn Cup. Nine Elems 1 don't think can get this distance, although the horse is well. Russian Bear is only moderate, and Miss Gratwicke, a sound animal, has been doing plenty of work, but is not good enough to overthrow Knight of the Garter. Bloss's lot consist of four—Vespasian, Knight cf the Garter, Indi gestion, and Vauban ; the first two have done well, and the othor two go very steadily. Godding also has four engaged, three already alluded to. Goodwood 1 have only seen going gently. Tormentor is lame, and Miss Have lock in no form. Lady Coventry I have made mention of. STOCKBRIDGE—On Wednesday the following horses were out :—Blucher, Equerry, Beata, Lady Dupplin, Minnie Warren, Crucifixion filly, and fourteen yearlings. They all went away to a piece of downs by the side of the Greatly-road, where they did some trotting and cantering exercise. Tom Day's head lad had Paris, Boaster, and four yearlings out on the same downs, but they only did some trotting about. Thursday.—The same lot were out again from both stables, and after walking about for half an hour, they all cantered except Equerry and one of the yearlings. Paris led B ea t a, L a dy Dupplin, and the Cruci fixion filly ; Boaste r l e d Tom Day's four yearlings a similar canter; then Blucher led nine of the yearlings a second canter of nearly a mile, and I never saw a lot of yearlings go better in my life. They are all a good- looking lot. Friday.—Wo had a very wet morning. The horses did not make their appearance till late, when the same lot, except Equerry and Minnie Warren, did exactly the same woak as on the previous day. KINGSCLERC.—On Tuesday, i'ero Gomez and King Cophetua arrived safe from head-quarters. Wednesday —Clarke had out Vabalathus, Morna, Nyl Gau, King Cophetua, Pero Gomez, and the three yearlings. Nyl Gau led the yearlings two nice canters of rather over a rile, all going well. Morna, King Cophetua, Pero Gomez in particular looking very well. Thursday — Clarke had out the same team as the day before, and the same amount of work took place. FYFIELD.-Our trainer being away at Newmarket, there is very little going on in the way of training here. The following horses are doing some healthy exercise under the care of the head lad : — Tremble, Citron, Cantina colt, Saga; Threatener, lono filly, lloplite, Lockeridgo, Acton, and Safety. Adam Bede is schooling four good-looking yearlings. ILSLEY.--The following horses are well, and doing good work for their engagements at Worcester:—Orion, Vampire, Amour, Propre, Winifred, King of the Rovers, Esher, and Actress. Orion and Aggravator are doing as well as any horses can do. Aggravator has much im proved of late. Ho looks well, and I never saw him go in better form, and he is sure to win a a race or two before the year is over. Dalby and Viridis are only trotting and walking about, but looking well. CILILTON.—On account of Stevens being away at New market, very little has taken place this week. I find we have engaged in the Worcester Autumn Handicap, Acta3a, Osprey, and Virginia Creeper. Acta3a I don't expect will run, and Virginia Creeper will be best, at the weights, of the other two. She is doing very good work, and this is just her distance. . Nursery Plate Handicap.—M.A. is in rare form now, and ought to win this race. Hurdle Race. —Vigilant, being sold, has left Chilton. Barrow Meeting_ —We have Black Boy engaged in the Handicap Plato, but I don't like him. Nursery Plato. —Congratulator, although with only sst 101 b on him, can't win, as he is a very bad one. Chateau Margaux, Alatha3a, Kicksy Winksey,Nelly, and Heels are doing steady work. Triana I have not soon out since Cheltenham Meeting. LAMBOUIiNE.—We have Vortigern in the Autumn Handicap, and I should think that he is not out of it, as ho is well, but you will have seen him run ning at Newmarket this week. Nursey Plate.—Wo have Needle Gun, Fragrance, and filly by Costa out of Morgan La Faye, and thoy are all well, but I am afraid that neither of them will win.

THE ABOLITION OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.—Wo have the satisfaction of announc ing that corporal punishment is practically abolished iu the schools of New York. About the fall of 1863 the Board of Education of that city instituted an inquiry to ascertain how often corporal punishment was resorted to. It was found to have been used something like two hun dred thousand times among a school attendance of one hundred and seventy thousand scholars. It was resolved to discourage this wholesale use of the rod. Teachers were required to report the names of the scholars punished, the nature of the offence committed, &c. As might have boon expected, the teachers opposed this plan, and all objected to it. They brought forward all the old arguments with which the public is familiar. But the experiment had been decided upon, and the end of the year showed a most satisfactory result. In twelve months there was a fallir.g off of six per cent. in the number of punishments inflicted, while the records of examination showed a marked improvement. This result was so highly satisfactory that the board passed a resolution absolutely abolishing corporal punishment in all the female and primary schools of the city. It was also ordered, that in the male do pal talents of the Grammar Schools it could only be in flicted by the principal, or, in his absence, by the vice principal, on proof of flagrant and persistent m isconduct; that the offence for which the punishment was inflicted . should be distinctly stated to the pupil, awl that a record of all the punishments should be kept, with . the evidence . any of the offence upon which . it t s a v a a d s a b n a t s e e a d c . h to be sent to the city superintendent failure on the part of the teacher to comply with these regulations was l m 'h on 's th re , c a o n i d d deemed suffioiout cause for his removal.— New Fork, Evening Mail.
