It is necessary to warn such of the public
as are interested in joint stock companies, that
during the present crisis a disreputable prac-
tice, previously too rife, has acquired an ex-
traordinary development. There is an organ-
ised band of speculators " for a fall," partly
within and partly outside of the Stock Exchange,
who every now and then make a dead set against
—or, in Stock Exchange parlance, " bang"—the
shares of some particular company. The mode of
proceeding is very simple : a large number of these
operators, acting no doubt in concert, make simul-
taneously sales of the shares of a company, perhaps
the International Financial, or the General Credit,
or the Credit Fonder sad Mobilier, or tho Im-
perial Mercantile, or Overend, Gurney, and Co., or
the Alliance Bank—it matters not what concern is
selected, so long as there is a prospect that the
simultaneous offer of shares in large numbers by
several brokers will seriously depress the price, and
this is easily accomplished in the present anxious
state of the public mind. That the price should
fall is natural, for there is a combination of sellers
and no opposing combination of buyers. Very
likely the sellers do not possess a single share ; but
that makes no difference, as the dealers do not
know but that the sales may be I,4,itti fide, and they,
therefore, in self-defence, put down the price. In
some, though, we hope, rare instances dealers have
themselves been parties to adverse combinations of
this nature. The sole object of the speculators is,
of course, to get a profit by buying back at a re_
duced price. The worst feature of the practice is,
that all sorts of demoralising and unscrupulous de-
vices are resorted to to aggravate the fall, such as
rumours of impending calls, or of losses, or—if the
company attacked be a bank—of a "run " for de-
posits. It is beyond question that several important
companies have lately linen destroyed by these
means, and it is necess-ry, therefore, that the
public should be warned against attaching too much
importance to sudden movements in the Stock Ex-
change, which are frequently no index whatever to
the real position or merits of a company.
About 86,0001. in bar g. dd was withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for exportation, but 20,000
sovereigns from Alexandria were sea... in.
The steamer City of London has brought 64,0001.
in specie from New York, and the Allemania,
11,0001.

The steamer Shannon, for the West Indies, will
take to-day only 5,0(01. in specie (silver).
The hiddings for bills on India took place yester-
day at the I.3=k of England. The proportions allotted
were :—To Madras, 50,200 rupees, and to Bombay,
10.30,000 rupees. The minimum price was as
before, viz., Is. 11;d. on Calcutta and Madras, and
Is. Iltd. on Bombay, and all tenders at and above
the minimum will receive in full. These results
show a further decided diminution in the demand
for the means of remittance to India, in conse-
quence of which government have apparently
failed to sell more than about ouc-third of the amount
of bills offered on the present occasion.
• "

It is understood that during the recent crisis a
very large number of new accounts, in most cases
transferred from less accredited establishments,
were opened at the Bank of England and the other
great and old-established banks of the metropolis.
Following the return on Tuesday of their drafts
by their London bankers, the Commercial Bank
Corporation of India and the East have issued a
circular, announcing a suspension of payments, and
convening a meeting of the shareholders for the
23rd inst., " to consider and determine as to the
hest means of winding up the company." Messrs.
R. Strong and John Ball (of Quilter, Ball, and
Co.) appended the following report to the balance-
sheet of this undertaking, audited by them, ex-
tending to the 30th December, 1865, and issued to
the shareholders last month :
We have examined the balance-sheet and profit and loss
account for the year ending December 30, lfifis, and find
the same to be accurately stated according to the books of
the company in London, and to the accounts received from
the several branches abroad. The item of balances due by
branches, 854,1571. 3a 111. is stated, subject to the ad-
justment of outstanding balances on accounts subsisting
between certain of the branches with the head office and
with other branches respective!y ; subject to such adjust-
ment and to the sufficiency of the estimate of 375,0001.,
written off to cover losses, we find the accounts now sub-
mitted to be correct. We desire to add that such estimate
is based upon detailed calculation so far as the requisite
data haven available, and upon estimates received from
the branches.—London, April 12, 1t66.

and the ring and stand did not present the cosmopolitan
aspect it did last year, when there was a Gladiateur to at-
tract the lively Gaul, and money to he won by sailing in
the good ship commanded by Count Lagrange. Will it be

patronised. There were more stoppages than usual, and
notwithstanding the abolition of the obnoxious toll system
since last year, and the Derby "blocks," the Cock, at Sutton,
kept up its character for being the most noted point of the
route, the celebrated hostelry being literally besieged
throughout the morning by a thirsty multitude. The
approaches to, and the appearance of, the Downs have been
often described, and it is unnecessary to make lengthened
remarks upon the subject. The side of the hill was covered
with vehicles, and after taking up a position, the occu-
pants, weary and dusty, soon refreshed themselves from
the proverbial bulky hampers. From the stand the scene
had the appearance of an immense plc-nic, while the course
was crowded from Tattenham-oorner to the saddling pad-
dock, and when the multitude were almost forced out of it
for the first race, they shut out from view, as usual, the
sward along the straight portion of the run in. The
Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and Prince Teck, attended
by Major Teesdale, drove from London in an open barourhe
and four, arriving at the Grand Stand about
half-past one, where they were received by
Admiral Roux and Mr. Dorling, the clerk of
the course, who conducted them to the private stand.
After witnessing the first race the Prince proceeded to
Mr. Tod-Heatly's stand, opposite, from whence he saw the
great race, among other distinguished visitors who accom-
panied them being his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge. The royal party were received with every mani-
festation of loyalty, without being " mobbed," and the
same unobtrusive enthusiasm was observable on their
departure, after the Bentinck Plate was decided. The first
race was treated with comparative indifference by the
general public, but Derby bookers were anxious, and the
excitement reached its culminating point when the num-
bers were hoisted for the great event. There were twenty-
nine horses on the card, all being " coloured," and it is a
noticeable fact that there was not one of the softer sex on
the list. The Czar—not on the card—was amongst the
starters, so that the absence of No. 6 (Lucifer), who was
struck out prior to the race, No. 8 (Lecturer), No. 23 (The
Primate), and No. 2711llaoriChief), left the field twenty-six
strong. The betting underwent some changes at the last,
but Lord Lyon was wonderfully firm, and after even
money had been invested to win large sums the fielders
stood out for odds, and 6 to 5 was freely laid on the
favourite up to the flag falling. Rustic went up and down
in the market in a most extraordinary manner, 6 to 1
being offered at one time, and afterwards 4 to 1, taken to
thousands, but he finally settled down at 5 to 1, that price
being obtainable to the close. The Briberycolt, before the
racing commenced, saw 10 to 1, but shortly afterwards
20 to 1 was offered ; but there was also a reaction in his
favour, and he left off at 100 to 6 taken. The list of betting
appended will sufficiently indicate the tone of the market
as affecting the other competitors. The canters
were watched with great interest, the favourites, as may
be supposed, receiving the most attention ; but it was a
subject of general remark that Blue Riband sweated pro-
ftiaely—a fact that did not inspire his friends with addi-
tional confidence. The "preliminaries" over, the compe.
titers walked through the saddling enclosure to the start-
ing post, where they were marshalled by Mr. McGeorge,
and after a delay of about a quarter of an hour they were
despatched on their mission, The Czar alone getting badly
a. it is unnecessary to follow the horses through
the race, every detail of which will be found
below ; and it is sufficient to say that the
competitors rounded the dreaded Tattenham - cor-
ner without any casualty, the Bribery colt having a
lead of Lord Lyon, Rustic, Monarch of the Glen, Knight
of the Crescent, Vespasian, and Redan, who were the only
animals in the race, and shortly afterwards, the four latter
giving way, the struggle was confined to the three placed.
From the distance the race appeared to be at the mercy of
the Bribery colt ; but the favourite, admirably ridden by
Cuatance, who did not stir on his horse, gradually over-
hauled Lord Ailesbnry's colt, and getting on equal terms
with him in the last two strides, won literally on the post,
by a head.
The hoisting of Lord Lyon's number (4) was the signal
for loud and prolonged cheering, and horse, rider, and
owner were fairly overwhelmed with congratulations as
they returned in company towards the passage leading
to the weighing room. Despite the strong body of police
stationed on the spot it was with difficulty that a way
could be made for the winner, who appeared rather dis-
tressed from his exertions, while Custance sat as calm and
immovable as a statue. He was very pale—partly, perhaps,
through his recent accident, which at one time seriously
threatened to keep him out of the saddle. Lord Lyon, how-
ever, could not have been handled more artistically, and a
more anxious rider would certainly have lost the race
to Mr. Sutton, who must land something handsome in
addition to the stakes, which this year are the richest ever
run for. The defeat of the Bribery colt was a sore disap.
pointment to Lord Ailesbury and his party, and the Dane•
bury clique were by no means satisfied at the figure cut by
Rustic, who tired on the severe rise at the finish, and was
very readily shaken off by his whilom stable companion.
Knight of the Crescent proved a long way the beet of the
Whitewall two, and Janitor of Baron Rothschild's pair,
and the latter figured far more respectably than his
Guineas running led people to suppose he would. The
time occupied by the race was 2 min. 49 sec., some seconds
more than Kettledrum, Caructacus, Blair Athol, and
Gladiateur took to complete the journey, and only a
second and a half less than the time occupied by
Maccaroni, who had to plod through mud and against
a heavy shower. The pace, therefore, must have
been slow, and it looked like it till a mile had been
traversed. The course was cleared as rapidly as possible
for the Manor Plate, which, with two other races, made
up the list of sport for the afternoon ; and as far as the
racing was concerned, the proceedings were over before
six o'clock. There was of course a deal of crushing at the
railway stations, but owing to the arrangements of the
officials and the police there were no accidents, and it
may be remarked that the arrangements of the police on
the course were thoroughly satisfactory. They were
under the direction of Superintendent Walker and In-
spectors Bradstock, Denning, Fidge, and Kettle, while
the safety of the occupants of the Grand Stand was looked
after by Inspector Tanner, of the detective force.
The following are the details of the running :

near Tattenham Corner, awl being mounted by their jockeys, the •
two latter waited for the arrival of the other horses before
taking their preliminary canters. The favourite, however,
' was led down the course, and paraded in front of the
Stand,where his appearance was the signal for considerable en-
thusiasm on the part of his backers, and the colt then returned
up the course, being soon afterwards joined by the other compe•
titors who, with Strathconan In advance. walked past the enclo-
. aure In Indian file. The preliminary canters were eagerly criti-
