LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1864.

Mr. STANSFELD has done at the very last, what
he ought certainly to have done at the very first—
he has resigned. On Saturday we intimated, as
plainly as words could express anything, that he
had no other alternative, than either to resign (as
he has no Fe resigned)—or to offer a complete and
satisfactory explanation. So delicate is Mr. STANS-
FELD'S sense of honour, upon, we wont say second
thoughts, but upon fourth or fifth thoughts,
that he resigns first, and offers his explana-
tion afterwards ! Referring to this explanation
thus—(shall we say, tardily given ? Well, we will
even go so far as to say, thus)—tardily given by his
ex-colleague, Lord PALMERSTON spoke of it as
one " which," said the noble Premier, " I
am persuaded the House will think per-
fectly and entirely satisfactory." The House,
by the way, thereupon, having not even one poor
little feeble cry of " Hear, hear" to latter by
way of assent ! Lord PALMERSTON, however,
thinks so, though the House, 'as a body,
doesn't by any means—Lord PALMERSTON
thinks Mr. STANSFELD'S explanation " per-
fectly and entirely satisfactory." Well, but,
so dii Lord PALMERSTON think in regard to Mr.
STANSFELD'S previous--" explanations," save the
mark ! Lord PALMERSTON thought so then, and
of course he thinks so now—as do all those thick
and thin Ministerialists, whe would apply to any
" Minister of the Crown" (even one as insignificant,
comparatively speaking, RS a Junior Lord of the
Adiniraityl, that saving axiom which the Constitu-
tim of the realm teaches them to apply to
the King, maintaining, namely, that he "can do
no wrong." And so, b2cause he is a" Minister of
the Crown," because he is a colleague of Lord PAL-
MERSTON'S—those thick and thin Ministerialists,
who would walk into the lobby, obedient to the lash
of the Government whipper •in, or, march through
Coventry, or would do just anything you please
rather than put the occupants of place and the
disperse.re of patronage in a minority, think as
Lord PALMERSTON thinks of Mr. STANFELD'S
explanation, that it is " perectiv and entirely
satisfactory." But, "me—let us lock at this
4; perfectly and entirely satisfactory" esplina-
tion—the new and En4l explanation offered last
night in the House of COMMODS, by the member

SPORTING NOTES.

The Epsom Meeting commences on Thursday. The
first great event to be decided is the City and Suburban
Handicap. A great many horses have bean backed for
this race. Liston held the premiership in the betting
for the last two or three weeks, but has now received the
coup de grace by having the pen drawn through his name.
Jarnicoton very nearly met a similar fate, having retro-
graded in the betting from 15 to 50 to 1, but has now
returned to even a shorter figure. The French division
are now in great form, and if not the actual winner, he
is sure to finish in the first flight. Gordian Knot and
Veterinarian are the most formidable of the light divi-
sion, Brindisi, a cast - off from Lord Stamford's
stable, will represent the Duke of St. Albans. There
is only one fool in the race, viz, Tom Fool, and as the
month of April is said to bo rather propitious to that class
of animals, it is just possible he may share her favours and
those of the judge on the present occasion by his being re-
corded the winner. He has been backed to win a large sum
of money by his spirited owner.; If I was certain he would
only run kindly, I should prefer him to anything. He has
a bad temper, and there is no dependence to be placed on
him. I shall give my final selection both for the City and
Suburban and the Metropolitan to-morrow, The winner
for the City and Suburban I expect will turn up in either
VETERINARIAN, GORDIAN KNOT, BRINDISI, JARNI-
COTON, or Tom FooL. The Metropolitan ought to be won
by LORD ZETLAND, but I would advise him to.be let alone
at present, as it is quite possible he may not put in an ap-
pearance.

A FRESH MAN.

EPSOM SPRING SCRATCHINGS.-April 4, at 150 p.m.:—
Liston, Blarney, and Lucky Star, cut of tho City and
Suburban ; Cachuca, out of the Metropolitan ; and Gunner
and all Mr. Bryan's horses out of their Epsom Spring
engagements.

THE GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE, MELTON Mow-
BRAY.—We are authorised to state that Mr. Behrens, the
owner of Game Chicken, objected to Cooksborough, the
horse that came in first, on the ground that Mr. Lotan, who
rode him, was neither a farmer nor gentleman jockey, as
required by the conditions of the race. The stewards will
investigate the case on Thursday at Epsom.
THE LATE CHERTSEY MEETlNG.—Alcibiades, who came
in first for the Hunters' Stakes on the second day, has been
objected to as not being qualified to run, and the matter will
be investigated by the stewards as soon as possible, and
notice of their decision given in due course.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A YOUNG RUFFlAN.—Bartholomew Prendergast, a boy,
was charged as follows :

Police constable James Aldridge, 205 C, said that on the
previous evening he heard the prisoner quarrelling with a
female in Husband-street. He told the prisoner to go
away, but he refused, and set to kicking him about the legs,
and then gave him a violent bl3w on the nose, causing it to
bleed a good deal.

Inspector Bowles, of the C diTision, said the prisoner was
one of a number of boys who hang about Husband-street,
and were the terror of the neighbourhood.
Mr. Tyr whitt fined the prisoner 10s. or 14 days; and
cautioned him th%t, if he came to the court again for as-
saulting the police, he would send him for a month without
a fine.

Government by Earl Russell in a despatch dated
March 9, but were at (nice rejected, on the ground
that, with Jutland completely at the mercy of the
allies, the status quo did not admit of definition,
and because the course which affairs had taken had
rendered an armistice much less favourable to Den-
mark than it would have been when first proposed
by England sad rejected by the German Powers.
The assent of the Danish Government to the Con-
ference is finally notified to Earl Russell on March
17; and, although it is accepted on the basis of the
Treaty of 1851..2, an intimation is given that " its
adoption will not preclude the discussion of other
modes, if arrangements can not be come to on that
basis." Virtually, then, aConferenee has been ar-
ranged ; but upon no particular basis, unless Earl
Russell be correct in terming that a basis which is,
in truth, but an end.—namely, the restoration of
peace in the North of Europe. The representatives
of the belligerents and of the chief neutral Powers
will meet in consultation, but we search in vain in
the papers before us to discover the precise subject
matter of their deliberations.

Life Assurance Chart.

Mr. Stanford, of Charing Cross, has just published
a chronological and statistical chart of the Life
Assurance Associations established in the United
Kingdom from 1706 to 1863, showing where they
are, when and how they disappeared and other
peculiarities. The chart has been compiled and pro-
duced under the direction of M. A. Black, Esq., and
at the outset we must compliment that gentleman
upon the able, clear, and simple manner in which
he has accomplished his task. The first division,
coloured green, gives a list of all life assurance offices
in existence down to Decembar 31, 1863 ; the
second division, coloured pink and buff, gives those
established, discontinued, and existing from 1706 to
1863 ; the third division, yellow, shows the mor-
tality of life assurance offices from 1824 to 1863;
the fourth division, green, gives a classification of
assurance offices; the fifth and largest, green and
buff, shows the transfers, single, double, and treble;
and finally, the sixth, colourless, shows those offices
that have either gone into the Chancery or Bank-
ruptcy Court. There are various other email tables
referring to single life offices, &c,, &c., all of which
have been very carefully arranged. The chart will
prove an ornamental as well as useful addition to
every library, as it is got up in the usual style of
excellence that characterises all Mr. Stanford's
productions.

Life Assurance Chart.

Mr. Stanford, of Charing Cross, has just published
a chronological and statistical chart of the Life
Assurance Associations established in the Unit€d
Kingdom from 1706 to 1863, showing where they
are, when and how they disappeared and other
peculiarities. The chart has been compiled and pro-
duced under the direction of M. A. Black, Esq., and
at th© outset we must compliment that gentleman
upon the able, clear, and simple manner in which
he has accomplished his task. The first division,
coloured green, gives a list of all life assurance offices
in existence down to DicembJr 31, 1863; the
second division, coloured pink and buff, gives those
established, discontinued, and existing from 1706 to
1863 ; the third division, yellow, shows the mor-
tality of life assurance offices from 1824 to 1863;
the fourth division, green, gives a classification of
assurance offices; the fifth and largest, green and
buff, shows the transfers, single, double, and treble;
and finally, the sixth, colourless, shows those offices
that have either gone into the Chancery or Bank-
ruptcy Court. There are various other small tables
referring to single life offices, &c., &c., all of which
have been very carefully arranged. The chart will
prove an ornamental as well as useful addition to
every library, as it is got up in the usual style of
excellence that characterises all Mr.w Stanford's
productions.

BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.—Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
greater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England ; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
pos:d by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.
The following interwoven mark may be seen at the end
ofeach piece :—" Manufacture de C. J. Bonnet et Cie., it Lyon

This Company has already promises of a large amount of
support, and a provisional agreement has been entered into
for acquiring a valuable railway concession, with a Govern-
ment guarantee. Negotiations are also pending for securing
business arising from several undertakings, which will mate-
rially contribute to the success of the company.
It is intended that the shareholders in this company shall,
so far as may be practicable, have the priority in applications
for shares in the various enterprises which maybe introduced
under its auspices,
The operations to be carried on by the company will be the
same as those embraced by similar institutions.
The active management of the company will be conducted by
an executive committee, under the supervision and control of
the Board of Directors. Two of the proposed Committeo have
been many years successfully engaed in financial operations,
and as an earnest of their confidence in the permanent success
of the Company, have agreed to hold shares in the capital to
a large extent, an to be only remunerated for their services
by reeeivimr a portion of the profits after paying interest to
the shareholders at the rate of five percent. upon the paid-up
capital. The directors will receive such remuneration as may
be determin d upon by the shareholders at the general meet-
ings. There will be no fees paid to promoters for originating
the Company, but arrangements have been made whereby the
preliminary expenses have been guaranteed not to exceed
one-half per cent. upon the first capital.
More than one-half of the capital has already been applied
for, and the business of the Company will be commenced
immediately after the a lotment of the shares.
The articles of association can be seen on applying at the
temporary offices of the Company.

REFUSAL TO RECEIVE PRISONERS BY THE QOIrRNOR
OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—PoIice Sergeant Baker,
of the K division, who has charge of one of the vans which
conveys prisoners to and. from the varicus gaols end this
court, returned to Mr. Paget two commitments signed by
the magistrate yesterday afternoon, sentencing two men,
named Henry Bowra and Charles Juniper, to threc months'
imprisonment and hard labour for non-payment of arrears
on orders of bastardy. Roche, the gaoler of the court, inti-
mated to the magistrates yesterday that the prisoners would
not be received in consequence of an order from the
Middlesex justices, who have the regulations of
the gaol not to receive prisoners committed on
civil processes. An order was issued. by the
justices for prisoners on civil process to be removed to the
debtor's prison in Whitecross-street, who, acting on the
opinion of the City solicitor, refused to receive any prisoners
committeeby the magistrates of the Metropolitan police

courts.
Mr. Paget asked what had become of the prisoners Bowra
and Juniper ?
Sergeant Baker said when the Governor of the House of
Correction refused to receive them, he bad no alternative
but to release them.
Mr. Paget expressed his astonishment at the state of
things which existed in the county, aad said he should
write to the Home-office on the subject and forward the
two commitments to the Secretary of State.

A youllg woman made application for a warrant against
a man who had not paid the arrears on a bastardy order for
an illegitimate child for six months. She was informed it
would be useless at present to issue a commitment for the
imprisonment of a man for non-payment of bastardy arrears,
The young woman very properly postponed her application
for a warrant until the law was settled on the subject.

An application is to be made to the Court of Queen's
Bench on the first day of Easter Term for a mandamus
against the Governor of Whitecrose-street Prison, and upon
the decision of the Judges will depend whether prisoners
on civil process from the police-courts are to be confined in
the House of Correction or Whitecross-street Prison.

ESUPPOSED CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday forenoon
an inquest was taken by Mr. John Payne, coroner
for the fluoly of Lancaster, at the Howard Arms, Arun-
del-street, Strand (a Liberty of the Duchy) on view of the
body of a newly-born female infant, which was found on
Friday last, by a bay,
in the Thames, off the Essex-street
steamboat pier. Evidence of the discovery of the body
having bean given, Mr. Walsh, surgeon, Blackmore•Ftreet,
said that he had examined the body of the deceased, which
he believed was born alive. It had not been attended to by
a medical man. The umbilical cord was not properly tied,
and in his opinion death resulted from neglect at its birth
and the want of medical attendance, A verdict was returned
to that effect.
