EPSOM RACES.
The new Derby course will be used this year for the
first time, and from an elaborate plan, with sections of
the old and new courses, just published by Mr. Henry
Dorling, the clerk of the course at Epsom, it appears that
there is but little difference between the two, the new
ground being only half a mile in length, and joining the
old course at the mile-post. The gradients or rate of in-
clination are marked on the plan, showing that the new
half-mile is not quite so severe as the old one, the average
rate of inclination being 1 in 54, while in the old course
it was lin 47. The new ground is forty yards in width,
but at the start it is much wider, giving room to parade
the horses. The most important advantage of the new
course over the old will be, bringing the start and every
part of the race in fullyiew of the stand—an event which
every one can appreciate, and which is all that was re-
quired to complete the improvements that have been
Doing on under Mr. Dorling s most efficient management.

PUBLIC MEETING of the ITALIANS
OF LONDON.
On Wednesday evening a meeting of the Italians
resident in London was held at the Western Literary
Institution, Leicester-square. The meeting had been
convened by the Signori Mazzini, Pistrucci, and Fenzi,
and others of the leading Italian Liberals. Shortly
after eight o'clock the theatre or lecture-room of the
institution was crowded with a most respectable audience,
consisting almost exclusively of Italians, a few ladies
gracing the assemblage with their presence. Signor
Mazzini was elected President by acclamation, and took
the chair amid loud applause.
The CIIAIRMAN, after expressing his tense of the
honour done him in being chosen to preside over the
meeting, proceeded to explain the object which he and
his associates had in view in calling their fellow-country-
men together at this time. He said that he happened to
be in Paris when the late revolution was achieved, and
that he had been invited to attend a meeting of Italians
residing in that capital, convoked by a few of their
brethren, for the purpose of forming a National Associa-
tion (Associazione Nazionale) comprehending all Italians
wko desired the regeneration of their native country.
No difference of political opinion excluded Italians from
that society, whether they looked forward to the estab-
lishment in Italy of a republic, of a monarchy, or of a
federal government, provided they were united in the
desire to restore to Italy her freedom, independence, and
ancient glory. That meeting had done him the honour
to elect him! president of their committee, and, on his
departure for London, had entrusted him with the task
of organizing a similar association here, to act in unison
with tho central or parent society of Paris. Their aim
should be to promote, in every way in their power, the
movement so happily begun in the Peninsula. Mr.
Mazzini concluded by reading the address adopted by the
original association in Paris to their brethren at home
and abroad, exhorting them to union, moderation, and a
determined resistance to the oppressors of their country.
Thereading of this address elicited prolonged applause,
and, on the motion of Mr. Mazzini, it was unanimously
agreed that an association should be formed in London,
on the same basis and for the same purposes with that
in Paris. After a few brief but enthusiastic speeches,
some discussion arose as to the best mode of electing
the office bearers and committee; it was finally agreedp
proceed to the election of the president and vice-press
dents by scrutiny. Signor Filippo Pistrucci was elected
president, and the Signori Mariotti and Giglioli, vise-
presidents; two secretaries, a treasurer, with five or six
councillors were then nominated, to compose, along
with the president and vice-presidents, the standing
committee.
At the suggestion of Mr. Mazzrzet, most of those
present handed in their names and addresses, with the
amount of monthly subscription which each agreed to
give towards the promotion of the objects of the associa-
tion, as had been done by their brethren in Paris.
The newly-elected PRESIDENT having announced that
the next meeting would take place that day week, the
meeting separated.
It was gratifying to observe the unanimity and en-
thusiasm which characterised the proceedings, although
they we re not conducted throughout with that order
and regularity usual in similar meetings in this country.
There was occasionally some confusion, and one could
not help ta teal lelner" that the right of assembling publicly
to discuss political subjects is still new to the 'Whale:,
while every stranger present must have felt how worthy
such a nation is of all the tights and blessings which
freedom can bestow.

DUTCH MAIL.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MARCH 21.—After a ten-
dency to a slight rise, the national funds closed rather
below the preceding exchange. The rise in the French
funds has had no influence here. Iptigrals full to 40, and
remained stationary at 401. The other Inland funds
followed this movement.
The death of Prince Alexander the Second, son of
the King, was not calculated to lessen the aspect of
affairs.
Spanish bonds were flat, Portuguese also. Vienna
Metallic were in demand ; Five per Cent. Russian,
commenced flat, but afterwards recovered. The other
Foreign funds were all lower. There was an improve-
ment in activity, to-day. Discount five per cent.
CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY.—By a royal decree of
the 17th, his Majesty has accepted the resignation of
M. W. de Jonge Van Compens Nieuwland, with an
honourable testimony to his services as Minister of
Justice, and has nominated M. Dirk Donker Cartius to
the function of Minister of Justice pro tan.
The committee appointed by his Majesty's decree of
the 17th not having yet been able to accomplish their
task. His Majesty has consequently been obliged to
request his Ministers to retain their functions till such
time as the King's choice shall have been determined.
The Ministers have declared that they are quite willing
for the public
beeintrest that the period of their resigna-
tion should thus protracted. Staats Courant,

EDUCATION IN WALES.—A large and important
meeting took place at Abercarn, Monmouthshire, on

ing, in the most unqualified terms, the report of Mr.
Commissioner Symons, on the state of education in the
parishes of hlynybldslwyn and Llauhilleth, were passtd.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'
T 17,4 R R TO THREE.
- The Cotton market at Liverpool was very dull yester-
day. Sales 2,500 to 3,000 bales. Railway Shares were
better, and there were more orders to buy.
A short paragraph was inserted under this head yes-
terday, release to the state and condition of the Canada
Company, as announced at the half-yearly General Court
held. The meeting went off most satisfactorily. It cannot
now be denied that this company has done infinite
benefit to the colony. A vast undertaking it was in the
first instance, with prospects uncertain, and it was with
the knowledge of the fact beforehand that a capital to a
very large amount would have to be subscribed to carry
on affairs ere the tide of emigration flowed in the desired
direction, that such an institution was brought into
existence, and now stands settled upon the firmest of all
bases.
The letters received from America indicate steady
prosperity as existing there, and a writer in one of the
papers thus indulges his pleasurable emotions:—
" We are full of all the elements of wealth, and we
have an abundance of everything necessary to secure it.
Our produce will be wanted in Europe, as soon as they
are able on the other side to pay for it ; the raw mate-
rial for the cotton manufactures of Great Britain
will be wanted in great quantities before they
can commence full work ; our state stocks have
been returned to us, and we have bought and paid for
them in gold and silver; they are now in demand
again in Europe, and large orders have already been
fulfilled on German account. The Dutch are the
shrewdest financiers in the old world, and they
have shown their wisdom in investing in our State
securities. The principal purchases thus far on foreign
account have been confined to Pennsylvania Fives, and
the prices paid have been a handsome advance on those
realised upon the sales here during the panie, when
holders on the other side were forced to sell at the rates
then current. The recent sales of State stocks to Euro-
pean capitalists are but a beginning of the movement,
and the amount already sold is but a trifle of that which
will be taken in the course of the next two or three
years. The views of foreign capitalists have become com-
pletely revolutionized in regard to our State stocks,
and we have no doubt they will be more
sought after for investment than any Government
Securities in the world. They pay better
dividends, and are, in fact, safer investments, than those
of any European Government ; and what is more, and
perhaps better, they will be paid in full at maturity ;
which cannot be said with any degree of truth of the
loan of any other nation in creation. We allude, of
course, to the regular dividend-paying stocks of the
States and of the General Government. The change
which has taken place in the opinions of foreign capi-
talists, relative to the value and safety of investments in
American securities, is the result of a variety of causes."
There may be, and doubtless is, much truth in these
reflections, but we should say to our countrymen gene-
rally, keep your cash at home, even if the interest
received be low. We have had far too much of foreign
stocks, and the tremendous sacrifices made by the
holders of American securities, who resold when " re.
pudiation" doctrines came into fashion, prove how little
choice there is wherever money is placed beyond control
and in distant countries.
Tho Continental accounts have somewhat depressed
the market tor the Public Securities this morning.
Consols fur the account have wavered from 821 to 82i,
while for immediate transfer the value is fully 821 to 83.
The June Exchequer-bills are at 32s premium, and
Indian Bonds at 12s. Bank Steck for the account is
quoted at 193.
In the Foreign Stock Market the transactions have
been rather more extensive to-day, but prices are still
heavy. The Small Brazilian Bonds, Five per Cent.
have sold at 71; the Mexican at 14i; the Portuguese
Three per Cents. for the Account, at 15i; the Vene-
zuela at 19 for the Two-and- a-Half per Cents.; the
Dutch Two and-a Half per Cents. at 40k; and the Four
per Cent. Cot tificates, at 614.
In the Railway Shares there have been some changes
to-day, for the benefit of those who are compelled to sell,
in whole or in part, their investments.
