The )3edford, meeting will be a success, albeit ,foul
weather will perhaps exercise a diminishing effect on the
attendance, and prevent all except the " Zouave" race
of turfites from assisting at the celebration of the sport.
TournaMent is amongit the nominations for the Two•
yr-old Stakes, and should he be sent for the race his
success will be regarded as a foregone conclusion. Of
the betting on the Bedfordshire Stakes, I am in total
ignorance. In making my selection, therefore, I have
no guide as to the intended animals. On paper the
chances of Redemption and Eloquence seem the most
favourable. For tne Scurry Plate I shall stand Pope
Joan and Mabel.

The racing at Wrexham does not require notice.

The members of the Yorkshire Union Hunt sill have
a pleasant meeting tomorrow (Thursday), albeit the
supply of sport will be somewhat scanty. Should John
Osborne send Fre-Fly for the Handicap she will perhaps
w;n, and the public will bo enabled to furrn an opinion
as to her Cesarewitch pretensions.

ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-CRIMINAL
PROCEEDINGS.

The Law Times of Saturday last contains the following
remarks on the question, whether the delinquents mixed
in this affair can be prosecuted criminally :
Several correspondents have inquired if such whole-
sale plunder is not punishable by the criminal law. Let
us endeavour to answer them. It is not directly punish.
able. Our disgracefully imperfect law of fraud makes no
provision against wholesale cheating, but onlyagainst small
pitiful obtainings of a loaf, or a gown, on false pretences.
There is impunity for great thieves ; but little ones only
are tried, convicted, and. sent to penal servitude. Pick
a pocket of sixpence, and you are subject to four years'
servitude ; rob the proprietors of a bank of 50,0001., and
you maysnap your fingers at your victims. But, although
the secrete 7 and directors of the Royal British Batik
cannot be indicted directly for putting the bank money
into their own pockets, they may, we trust, be
made criminally responsible in another form. But to
make this intelligible we must sever the case of Mr.
Cameron from that of the directors. Mr. Cameron was
a servant of the bank. To take the money of the bank
from its till and put it into his own pocket would be
larceny ; to receive money frOin a customer of the bank,
and, instead of putting it into the till, to put it into his
own pocket, would be ombe7zlement. The circumstances

guilty
of either of these offences. If the directors gave him
permission to overdraw, that would be a good defence.
But if it was done without their permission, obtained in
the regular way, or if they limited the amount he might
draw, but he exceeeded that amount; or if he drew any, um
whatever without their sanction at any time larceny
might be maintained. The proof of the authority to over-
draw would be upon him, and that would, probably, be
impossible. Wherefore, then, is this procroding not
taken ? Again, it appears that Mr. Cameron gave secu-
rities that were already inort,gagr i beyond their value.
He represented these as good securities, and thereby
obtained advances ; he might tbe indicted for obtaining
money on false pretences. Now for the directors. They
were in lawful po session of the money, and, according
to the presetit imperfect state of the criminal law, a man
lawfully in possevieu of property cam tt be guilty of stealing it ; the subsequent appropriation of it is only a
breach of trust. Larceny, therefore, could not be main-
tained. But it is said the directors who have pocketed
so large a por.o A of the property did so without the
knowledge of the other directors, by means of a private
book kept by Mr. Cameron. If this is so, and could be
clearly proved, we have uo doubt that they, together
with Mr. Cameron, 'night be indicted for a conspiracy.
We are also inclined to think—but of this we are not so
c.:mfident as of the other cases—that all the directors
might be itadickd for a conspiracy, in inviting and ob-
taining the subscriptions of shareholders by the false
representations which they put forth of the state of the
concern—proving, if it be possible to do so, that they
knew the true t tato of affairs, or at least that the con-
cern was not as they represented it to be. Even if such
prosecutions should fail, it would be of the utmost ser-
vice by way of example and warning."

a paper exclusively devoted to an ae•aout ita thil
natural attr :cons of the place, and of the
establishments for which, of late years, Great Mal-
Yore has become remarkable all over the vs, srld.
I recently spent a short time in that inter assting
locality, and gladly bear my testimony to all that
has been written regarding its natural beauties.
So far; indeed, from these being exaggerated in t he
descriptive works which have been written on thee
the accoun? i given of the picturesque
scenery which everywhere meets the eye, falls far
short of the reality.
Half of the loveliness of Great
Malvern has not been told. There is something in
the very situation of the place which is unique—at
in England ; while the rich and never-ending

is so different from what we areaccustomed to breathe
in other parts of England, that it is with difficulty
one can persuade himself that he is sojourning in Iris
native land. There is something, so j3yous, so ex-
hilarating in the atmosphere of Great Malvern,
that the visitor feels as if he had been transported
to some healthier and happier planet.
I know of no part of Great Britain which can be
at all compared to this charming portion of Wor-
cestershire. Had I been conducted thither with-
out knowing where I was going, I could not have
believed that I had been transferred to a part of
England. I should have fancied that I had been
whisked away to some of the loveliest spots in
Switzerland ; for the scenery of Great Malvern re-
markably resembles that whLqkia_witneased in some .
etalle anfter Alpine regions; It is tettf;s 111"Wie8 -
....
cottages do not meet your eye, but then, on
the other hand, the houses are unlike any you see
anywhere else. They are all built in a very. taste-
ful manner, and all display the j chness of fancy
possessed by the architect, while, to make the struc-
tures still more striking, there are hardly two in
the place entirely alike. •
But, after the gifted writers that have employed
their descriptive powers in seeking to present a pic-
ture of this chariningplace to the mind's eye of their
readers, it would be a work of supererogation in me
to make any effort to place before the public a pano-
ramic view of this lovely locality. A word or two
with regard to the hydropathic establishments, fur
which Great Malvern has of Late years become so
justly celebrated, may be less out of place. There
are two water-cure establishments on a very large
scale, namely, those.of Dr. Gully and Dr. Wilson.
Both these gentlemen are understood to have inside
considerable fortunes. In each of their establisi:-
meats there aro often as many as from fifty to sixty
patients. The charges vary from two guineas to
five or six per week, according to the rank of the
patients, the nature of the treatment, and the ex-
tent of the accommodation required.
There is another hydropathic establishment on
a smaller scale, which stands very high, and is des-
tined to stand yet higher, in public estimation, as
its peculiar advantages become better known. I
allude to Townsend House, belonging to Dr. Grind-
rod—a gentleman of eminent professional abilities,
and most kind and courteous in his manner. It
was in Dr. Grindrod's house that I stayed during
my brief sojourn in Great Malvern ; and certainly
it would have been impossible to have formed any
previous conception of the cheerfulness, the regu-
larity, the comfort, the happiness, which reign in
his establishment.
This may, im some measure, be accounted for
from, the fact that at Townsend House great discri-
mination is exercised with regard to the admission pf
patients. Dr. Grindrod only receives those whose
general views he knows to accord with-those of the
other inmates. Hence the harmony of feeling aiid
sentiment is so wonderful, that the stranger is sur-
prised and delighted to find that ho has joined an.
establishment in which, though the patients come
from all parts of the country, and were previously
unknown to each other, he is privileged-to associate
with a "happy family," of unusually large pro-
portions. Before a stranger has been a day in
Townsend House, he feels himself perfectly at
home in the most comprehensive acceptation of the
phrase.
Nothing more forcibly struck me, during my
brief sojourn at Great Malvern, than the exceed-
ing healthy appearance of the patients. Thy all
looked so lively, as well as happy, that I could pot
bring myself to associate with them the idea of i 11-
health. Unlike an establishment appropriated to
the reception of persons who were ill, theS, ies'elu-
bled a group of persons who -either never had lost
their health, Jr already been fortunate enough to
regain it. They hid excellent appetites, while
everything was provided for them which was cal-
culated to render_their, meals wholesome and
strengthening. There is a prevailing impression
that at all hydropathic establishments the patients
are half-starved. There never was 11.. grp4tpr mi.-
•tal7e. I had not been, half an hour in Townsend
House before I was furnished' with' experinientrl.
proof of the error ; and soon afterwards' I' found
that all in the establishment were allowed to eat
as much as they pleased of beef, mutton, chicken,
game, dre.
Another prevailing misconception respecting the
hydropathic mode of treatment is, that it must be
excessively unpleasant to be plunged over head and
ears in cold water. In the first place, in Townsend.
House, patients who require it are provided with
baths more or less warm or tepid, according to the
nature of their illness ; and the temperature is daily
lowered, until the patient can comfortably, plunge
into cold water, or have cold water poured on him.
In all cases, so far front the inmates feeling it un-
pleasant to have their baths, they take a special
pleasure in them. They regard them as a positive
luxury, and anticipate, with inexpressible delight,
the recurrence of the .periods when they take place.
Nothing surprised me more than this, during my
short residence in Townsend Housr.
One feature in the hydropathic system which
never fails to strike the inhabitants of large
towns, who, for the most part, sit up late at;
night, is the early hour at which the patients
retire to rest, and the early hour also at which
they rise in the morning. By nine o'clock a
very large proportion of the patients retire to
their own rooms, if not to bed ; while it is a very
rare circumstance to see any one moving about
after term. In the mornings, except in the depth
of winter, the patients are seen beginning to
bestir themselves soon after six o'clock, awl by
seven the whole establishment is in motion. Not
the least interesting part of what is to be seen at
Townsend House is the rapid locomotive exercises
of the patients in the singularly beautiful and ex-
tensive grounds belonging to the establishment,

patients have had their baths, are eminently con-

I have thus hastily glanced at the natural. beauties
with which Great Malvern and the whole of the sur-
rounding country abound—at the singularly:salu-
brious and exhilarathes properties of: the air—at .
the c4mifort of Dr. Grindrod's admirably-conducted
establishment—and at some of the more prominent
features of the cold-water system. - It 'needs no
