tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Stock pri cipl
Treaties are now pendin, for the purchase of some private

of a large and flourishing bank; and, for that purpose,
powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the
Articles of Asso .tion.

banks
recent amalgamation of tw ) of the largest private
in London with jal-,t. stock establishments, following
o
her combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous
advance in the price of banking shares generally, afford con-
,s,ive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint-
association in banking business.
flthe system of banking carried on by public companies is
admitted to be so advantageous in London, where the pri-
vate
establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can-
not be a matter of doubt that the principle is stilt more ap -
lineable to the country, where the resources and credit of
private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, of
trade in the country genera ly has crea ed a demand for
Eller banking accommodation, while it is only in the metro-
polls_ that the requirements of the mercantile community
have been adequately considered.

dollar objects are now quoted as follows, viz. :

business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

THURSDAY.

The weather underwent a great change on Wednesday
evening, and on Thursday it was so cold that visitors to the
Heath required their overcoats. Notwithstanding the
threatening appearance of the clouds, the attendance on the
One Thousand day, though it would bear no comparison to
Tuesday, was quite equal to that of previous years, and
greatly in excess of that of any ether day excepting the
Two Thousand. After the closing of the Telegraph office on
Wednesday night, some important changes occurred in the
betting on the Ono,Thousand, Chester Cup, and Derby. For
the first-mentioned race Gazza Ladra finished decidedly
favourite, as little as 4 to 1 being booked at the close, Mas-
querade and Sardinia finding supporters at 6 to 1, whilst
Molly Carew declined to 7 to 1, and Tooi Tooi to 100 to 8,
Blair Athol was backed for the Derby to win upwards of
£26,000 at all prices, from 28 to 1 down to 13 to 1, and
Bacchus was brought from the outside price of 25 to 1
to 15 to 1, at which latter price he was freely sup-
ported for the Chester Cup, and Little Stag at 100 to
8, and Oldminister at 20 to 1, also received substantial
support for the Rhoodeo event. Prior to moving for
the Heath this morning, speculation upon the One
Thousand was carried on with animation. Masquerade re-
turned to first favourite, Gazza Ladra being driven to 6 to
1, whilst 5 to 1 was taken about Sardinia, 7 to 1 about Sis-
ter to Drake, 7 to 1 offered agst Molly Carew, 10 to 1 ago
Tooi Tooi, and 100 to 8 agst Tomato. Beyond several 100's
to 6 and 100's to 7 being accepted about BEckey Sharpe,
nothing of the outside lot were supported. The morning
speculation on the Chester Cup consisted of 500 to 20 each
agst Tippler and My Mary (taken), whilst the highest offer
agst Bacchus was 100 to 8. The card for this day com•
prised eight races inclusive of a match, and the overnight
entries were as numerous as any of the preceding days, as
our return given below will indicate. Commencing at 1.30
and concluding at 5 o'clock, there was a busy afternoon pro-
vided for the " metallicians," and betting on the various
events to decide was moat spirited, more particularly on the
principal contest, which was appointed for three o'clock. As
already mentioned, the crowd was by no means so great as
on Tuesday, nevertheless there was a very large assemblage
of spectators, and double rows of carriages, equestrians,and
pedestrians lined each side of the ropes, and the " run in."
Unlike the glorious weather of Tuesday, the atmosphere
continued cloudy and cold during the sport, except towards
the conclusion, when the sun broke out ; but it was only a
comment,
transient gleam, and the cold gloom returned. The racing

ebme amt g such cl i
among the backers of the French fil:y for the Two Thou-
sand; as prior to the race on Tuesday it had been con-
stantly asserted that Fills de Air could accomplish won-
ders with Vivid. It is a remarkable fact, but Jenning's
favourites never win when supported by the public.
The One Thousand Guineas created a deal of interest
among the speculators, and in the betting ring the New-
market Oaks evidently gave rise to some spirited specula-
tion. Little alteration was noticeable in the tone of the
market at the finish. Sardinia left off favourite at 7to 2,
while 5 to 1 was booked about Masquerade and MollyCarew,
who were in favour, and towards the close advanced to 6 to
1, and in certain cases less odds were accepted. Tomato
ranked next, but about her as much as 10 to 1 could always
be obtained, and being by no means heavily supported, she
was a comparative outsider. The race was preceded by
several failures, caused chiefly by the intractability of Gazza
Ladra and Goldylocks ; indeed the latter, who possesses a
notorious temper, once or twice bolted out of the course.
Every feature of the race will be found described below, but
we may chronicle with satisfaction the fact that Baron
Rothschild's two fillies, Tomato and Breeze, finished first
and second, which was received with as many demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm as General Peel's victory, the Baror
being one of the most princely supporters of Newmarket
and a lover of the national pmitime in all its purity and dig-
nity. Singularly enough, in the One Thousand last year
Lord. Stamford achieved a parallel triumph, his lordship's
fillies, Lady Augusta and Flying Fish, having it will be
remembered finished first and second. The favourites were
thoroughly beaten, and we believe there was no excuse for
their defeat except Molly Carew's, as Harry Gritnshaw, her
jockey, alleged that Masquerade cannoned against her, and
that upwards of four lernahs were lost thereby. The racing
was concluded at 6 o'clock, and the company left the heath
cold and cheerless, and to add to the clisagremens, thick
