The ilemsdelion InetWens as the Omattaset ern
bine large capital and credit for financial and industrial enter-
prise has now become an established fact, and in many cases
their success has been remarkable. Such institutions may be
abuser', and Moms mere instruments of speculation: but
when prudently conduct d and directed towards legitimate
business it cannot be denied that they meet one of the real
wants of the age.
England Ma hitherto sot partlcirnted in this movement, and
the consequence Is, that Parts ha.. to a considerable extent,
superseded London as the centre of financial enterptise.
London, nevertheless, affords by far the best sphere for a well-
managed undertaking of this description. It is the greatest
money market of the world the print to which all foreign
nations resort to raise cant's' : the place where large contracts
can he made and loans negotiated. There to clearly no nth r
money market when concentrated capital end credit ought to
command a more secure or • larger profit.
England also, in her colonies, and above all In her vast Indian
empire, affords a field for 'estimate enterprise, which la une-
qualled by any other country. India, with a population of
100,000,000 rapidly advancing In wealth and prosperity, requires
nothing more to accelerate Its development than the direction
towards its territory of some portion of that va.t annual emu-
emulation of Foglish capital which seeks investment at a low
rate of interest. To ally the demand of India for capital at 10
or 12 per cent with the English demand for investment at 4 or
6 per cent., of itself affords an ample sphere for operations.
It p to meet these requisites that some gentlemen experienced
be financial and merman!, operations have associated them-
selves together in order to form an English Company, In
alliance with the following leading Banking Homes and capi-
talists of Prance, who are about to form a similar Company In
Paris, under the title of "Socha& Outran pour favoriser le de-
velopperuent de r Industrie a do Commerce de la France," the

enemy bad evidently mused his army on our right.
About five o'clock in the morning it commenced rain-
kg. The water fell I. torrents over an hour, deluging the
:oda. leaoe4 up the eordnroys, sweeping away bridges, and
threatening the destrootios ef the pontoons. The river sae
ith great rapidity, and soon overflowed the ends of the
pontoons, sedating crossing impracticable. The upper
pontoon wae taken up, and need in lengthening out the others,
'and after asvend hours of very bard Labour the bridges were
Otte more ready. It was soon evident that General Hooker,
Me; ng his poition wu rendered temporarily untenable by the
storm, bad determined to cross over again to this side of the
Rappahamock. On Tueeidey the order was given to retreat.
New reads were out The trains and reserve artillery were
sent back, and the evacuation was commenced. Pine boughs
were spread upon the pontoons to prevent the noise of
crossing, and at 10 o'clock Tuesday night the troops oom-
rouced falling back. The First corps (Couch's) was the
first to mom The Fifth (Meade's) corps remained in the'
intrenchments to cover the retreat. The Sixth corps also re-
crossed the United States Ford, and are marching hack to
Falmouth. At 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning waggon and
mule trains and the artillery had all passed, and the infantry
was crossing on two bridges at !Jolted States Ford.
Couch's corps was in the advance. The retreat was covered
by the Fifth, Meade's corps. By dark, the waggons,
extra mimeos, pack mules, he., were at Falmouth. The
wounded were hastily removed from the hospitals, and sent
to Washiegtoe, leaving nothing oe the other aide except
our infantry and artillery. After fighting the severe battle
of Sunday wonting, Gametal Hooker motioned to strengthen
his lines, throwing up double lines of rifle pits, and con-
structing abattis rdong the entire line of his camp. The
enemy continued to make demonstration along the works,
driving in the pickets, and delivering volleys of musketry at
men most exposed. Sedgwick, at Fredericksburg, was
overwhelmed by numbers, and premised bard on both front
and rear, and was hardly able to make good his
swam near Banks' Ford. Fredericksburg and the
heights beyond have been reoccupied by the enemy.
Sedgwiek hat lost in killed and wounded about 5,000 men.
His artillery and trains were safely brought over on Mon-
day night. Richmond papers of the Eth state that
Stooemso'm cavalry had completely severed all Lee's com-
munications with Richmond, and that the only reports of
the fighting were received there from mounted messengers.
Thu o journals also state that General Peck's forces were
pressing on after the rebel forces, which had abandoeed the
siege of Suffolk ; and that I(eyes' corps at Yorktown was also
moving. Reports are said to have been received in Wash-
ington that, after cutting the railroad lines leading
into Richmond, Stmenien deployed his forces along the
mad leading from Lees army to Gordonsville. It was also
said that Menge were arriving at the latter point, is roe*
to Lee's army, bet that they came from Lynchburg, and
Nei frees Mamma The moat ietelligent estimates plus
our louses during this brief campaign at not more than
15,000. The rebel army is thought to have lost at least oar
third more, as they charged ups our batteries in mums,
and were fearfully slaughtered by our artillery.
