THE FOREIGN AND COLONIAL GOVERNMENT TRUST has
excited a great deal of attention in financial circles. The
idea is novel and ingenious, and is universally recognized
as meeting a public want. It is, in fact, the application
to foreign investments of the principle of mutual in-
surance, and diminishing risks by arranging them over a
wide area, which has proved so fruitful in the case of
marine and life assurances. At the present day there is
a large number of persons who desire to increase their
incomes by investing in securities bearing a high rate of
interest, to whom such an investment may be perfectly
consistent with prudence, provided the risk run be not
excessive. But if a io:son thus circumstanced invest his
whole surplus capital in any foreign stock, such, for
instance, as Turkish or Italian, there is no denying that
the investment becomes speculation, and that in staking
everything on the continued solvency of any one State,
he runs a considerable risk. But if the same investment
had been spread over fifteen or twenty different stocks,
the temporary stoppage of even two or three of the Go-
vernments would not endanger the loss of his capital, or
reduce the benefit of his investment to a level with that
afforded by such securities as railway debentures or
mortgages on land. In addition to the high rate of
interest, the advantage of repayment at par by drawings
of stocks purchased.at a discount, is very considerable,
and of itself replaces with a large profit the greater part
of the original capital within the period of the trust. The
combined effect of the sinking fund and drawings is such
that after yielding an annual interest of 7 per cent. the
whole of the original capital is repaid, with a bonus of 15
per cent. in 24 years, and there remains £900,000 of stock as
a reversion divisible among the subscribers. By the issue
of £lOO certificates a pro rata share of this investment is
secured to the small investor on the same terms as to the.
large capitalist. A man who has a single £lOO to invest
may become a holder of 15 of the principal foreign and
colonial stocks, currently quoted on the Stock Exchange,•
and have his investment managed for him without trouble,
and at a comparatively small cost, on a system which
gives him the same pro rata advantage as the holder of
£lOO,OOO, both in spreading the risk over a wide area and
in realising the average effect of drawings, and securing
the regular action of a sinking fund, which, in a short
period, repays the original capital, and leaves him a holder
of stocks which have cost nothing.
MUSICAL ITEMS.—Auber is at work at another opera.
Verdi's Don Carlos has been produced at Brussels. M.
Hector Berlioz has left St. Petersburg, and is at present
staying at Monaco. The degree of Bachelor in Music has
been taken by Mr. John Frederick Bridge, of Queen's
College, Oxford. It is said that Mdlle. Nillson is a
charming violin player, and that Rossini has promised to
write some music for her. Rubinstein's playing is
exciting great enthusiasm in Brussels ; some of his own
compositions have been very favourably received. The
result of the endless bickerings among the musical pro-
fessors of Leeds has been to exclude "native talent
from the musical arrangements of a forthcoming Fine Art
Exhibition to be held in that town. At Paris a gentle-
man of the name of Michotte gave a performance at M.
Gustave Dore's last soiree on an instrument called the
"matauphone." It consists of graduated glasses filled
with water, on which it is said he executes fantasias,
overtures, and every species of musical composition.—

1-111ESENTATION BY N.IPJLEON FOR SAVING LIFE. —At
the recent meeting of the Local Marie Board of the Port of
London, Mr. John Hubbart, the second mate of the General
Steam Navigation Company's steamer Triton, and John Rose,
fireman on board that vessel, were presented each with a
very handsome silver medal of the first class .and diploma,
awarded by his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French,
for having at the risk of their own lives attempted the
rescue of the crew of the French ship Trois Sceurs,
wrecked off Calais pier•head last,year, after an unsuccessful
attempt had been made by some French mariners, whose
boat was capsized, together with that also of the British sea..
men when they made an effort to save life. It may be
remembered that the ship was cast ashore close to Calais,
and the lifeboat, first manned by the Frenchmen, went off
to the relief of the crew of the shipwrecked vessel.
They did not reach her, and then some Englishmen volun-
teered to take the English lifeboat out ; but on getting near
to the wreck a tremendous sea caught the boat and she
filled, and several of the men were washed away. Another
effort was made to rescue the crew, and eventually some of
them were saved. Hubbart and Rose are stated to have
Performed the most meritorious service.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS AND THE CONFEDERATE COTTON
LOAN.—The last advicea from the United States mention a
fact which may be interesting to the holders of the Confede-
rate Cotton Bonds issued by Messrs. J. 11. Schroder and
Co. It appears that the Government of the United States
admit that they have cotton in their hands which belonged
to the Confederate Government to the amount of 30,000,000
dole., and they have directed that the proceeds of this cotton
shall be paid Into the United States Treasury, there to await
the claims that may be made against it. The United States
Government by this measure may almost be said to consti.
tute itself a trustee for the claimants. We are informed
that the committee of cotton bondholders have directed a case
to be submitted to counsel in order to ascertain the best means
by which they may obtain their share of the proceeds of this
cotton. The ordering of those proceeds to be paid into the
Treasury seems to be a preliminary on the part of the
United States Government to admitting the principle that
"they who seek equity must do equity," and that they are
prepared to admit the counter claims on the part of British
subjects alluded to by Lord Stanley in his speech on the
Alabama claims, and are setting aside funds to meet their
liabilities.—Money Market Review.
THE MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE PACIFIC SLOPE.—
Mr. Browne (of the United States) estimates the yield of the
different States and territories of the Un;on as follows :
California, £5,000,000 ; Nevada, £4,000,000 ; Montana,
£2,400,000; Idaho, £1,300,000; Washington, £200,000;
Oregon, £400,000 ; Colorado, £500,000; New Mexico,
£lOO,OOO ; Arizona, £lOO,OOO ; and miscellaneous,
£1,000,000, making a total of £15,000,000. The
entire product of the precious metals from this
region in the twenty years from 1848 to 1867
is estimated to have been £233,000,000, or at the rate
of £11,650,000 per annum, of which £180,000,000 was
from California, the riches of the other districts being of
comparatively recent discovery. Although the return of last
year was considerably in excess of the average return of the
past twenty years, which include the early times when the
population was relatively small, it appears that,
compared with the immediately preceding years,
1867 shows a decline. According to Mr. Browne,
the population actually engaged in mining has greatly
diminished in the past few years, and does not now exceed
50,000. Agriculture, manufactures, and commerce are
assuming the preponderance over the mining interest.
Important mining results are anticipated from the cm-
pletlon of the Pacific Railway, which will touch a point
within 100 miles of a new locality where, according to
some reports, extremely rich and otousivc diacorcries
have lately been made.

best worth an investment. In the Two Year Old
Stakes no fewer than 58 youngsters are engaged,
the greater number of whom are " dark." The best
of the public horses is Electricity ; but of the
" dark " horses I know nothing beyond the fact of
Defender having been well tried, though whether
he runs or not lam not unaware. For both the
Stamford and Heathcote Plates there are such im-
mense entries that at this distant date I dare not
express any opinion of either. For "Wednesday, the
races possessing most interest are the Great Metro-
politan, the New Two Year Old Stakes, the Epsom
Cup, the Walton Stakes, and a new race named
after his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,
to which there is the liberal addition of 200 soya.
What, will comprise the field for the Great Metro-
politan Handicap I have no means of knowing, or
even guessing, consequently it would be quite a
waste of time to examine the pretensions of the
sixty-two horses that accepted. It will be noticed
. that although Franchise has been struck out of the
City -and Suburban she remains in this race, but
with such a comparatively heavy weight for a three
year old as Gat 131 b, I can't regard her. chance to be
a good- one. Demonstration and Demon we Eaw
stay well in the Feather Plate, and they ought not
to be omitted in any lots taken against the field ;
nor ought Adamant, as he, though very moderate,
is just now.in form, as he showed by running second
for the Spring Cup at Liverpool. Nyanza, lam
also told, likes a distance, and Angus also.; but for
such a- long journey I would rather trust to Aggra-
vator,.4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Nine Elms, 4 yrs, 7st 51b;
and the turned loose Carnage, 4 yrs, Gat 41b ; but
of these my preference is for NOE ELMS; because
he is bred to stay, and knoWs his way to the
winning post on this course, as he proved last
year on two occasions. In the Two Year Old
Stakes thirty-eight youngsters • are engaged,
including De Vere and Electricity, both of whom
are bound to run well from their previous perfor-
mances; but I expect the winnerwill turn up among
the " dark" division, of whom I km* too little to
give an opinion. For the Cup, •twenty-one horses
accepted, to run one mile, and- it will be a sporting
race should Speculum and Orion meet, the former
of whom, 1 fancy, will furnish the winner. The
' Prince of Wales Stakes is also run on- the mile
course, and as twenty-four horses are weighted, the
field Will, doubtless, be considerable. Of the top
weights, I prefer Xi, 5 yrs, Bst 131 b, and of the
lower- Conundrum, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, and Cecil, 3 yrs,
Gat 61b. In the Walton Stakes, which is for two
and three -year olds, seventeen youngsters are en-
gaged, against five three year olds, the latter being
Ironmaster, Lictor, Adosinda, Cation, and the bay
colt by Dundee out of Cotytto. The course is three
quarters of a mile, and as Ironmaster showed fine
speed for that distance at Nottingham, he must be
my choice. .
The list for Croxton Park holds out Promise of
some good racing, as there are; twenty acceptances
for the Granby Handicap, and-eleven for tht., Cup,
whilst thirteen three year olds have been. 110:11i-
nated for the Belvoir Castle Stakes. For the
Granby Handicap the three best in are King oF the
Fairies, 4 yrs, lOst 121 b; the Colt by Romulus out
of Attack, 4 yrs, lOst 101 b ; and Eglamour, 4 yrs,
lOst 41b, for the former of whom 1 have the most
fancy. In the Cup (two miles) I think Sealskin
will give the weight to the moderate lot opposed to
him ; and in the absence of The Earl, Veda or Cat-
ton may win the Belvoir Castle Stakes. In the
Croxton Park Plate fourteen horses are engaged, and
Stanton looks formidable, with Conundrum, 5 yrs,
7st 71b, and Jeannie Deans, 4 yrs, 7st 51b ; Narino,
4 yrs, 7at 111 b, also being well in. The .Billesdon
Coplow Stakes closed with thirteen nominations,
and altogether the meeting bids fair, to be the best
held at Croxton Park for many years.

The Field.---City and Suburban: Blinkhoolie
and Stradbroke. Two Year Old Stakes : Elec-
tricity. Stamford Plate : Freemason and Narino.

TRAINING REPORTS.

KINGSCLERE, Thursday.—Sir Joseph Hawley
arrived here at half-past nine, and an hour later the
following horses went to the Cannon. Heath Downs:
—The Palmer, Wolsey, Satyr,. Blue Gown, Fakir,
Xi, Green Sleeve, Rosicrucian, Cotytto, Pere
Gomez, Nil Gau, King Cophema, Adosiuda, rnd
Vabalathus. All cantered in the hollow with the
exceptim of Vabalathu3, Rosicrucian, and King
Corhetul, who took some walking and trotting ex-
ercise, and rain falling heavily they were sent home
early. Xi, Fakir, Wolsey, and Satyr galloped at a
good pace rather over a mile. The Palmer led
Biue Gown, Green Sleeve, and Adosinda a half-
speed gallop of a tilde. Pero Gomez and Nil Galt
went together at a gentle pace about three-quarters
of a mile. The morning's work was wound up by
The Palmer leading Blue Gown and Green Sleeve
a rattling gallop of nearly two miles, all going in
fine style, and Satyr following at a steadier pace.
Friday—The following came out :—Rosicrucian,
Vabalathus, The Palmer, Wolsey, Satyr, Xi, Fakir,
Adosinda, Cotytto, 'Blue Gown, Green Sleeve,
Pero Gomez, Nyl Gau, and King Cophetua, all
looking well, more especially Rosicrucian, Blue
Gown, and Green Sleeve. The crack, King Co-
phetua, and Vabalathus took some healthy walking
and trotting exercise. The Palmer led Blue Gown,
Green Sleeve, and Adosinda a nice half-
speed gallop of nearly two miles, Satyr following
at a steady pace, which was the only galloy done.
NEWMARKET.—IIayhoe on Wednesday sweated
Suffolk, North Marston, Restitution, and King
Alfred. Hippia led Nyanza a good gallop across
the flat. Courtmantle, Tregeagle, and Kingsley
cantered steadily. Laneret and Licymnia did steady
work. Bessy dixou went a good gallop round
Cambridge Hill, and this filly goes strong and well.
Knight of the Garter, Blinkhoolie, Vauban, Hebe,
Hermit, St. Ronan, Out. and-Outer, and Vespasian
did their usual work. Ravioli only cantered once.
Lady Coventry, Julius, Pace, Speculum, Harvester,
Innerdale, Clemence, Ninny, Contempt, Angus,
Clairon, Corinne, Ldonie, and a lot more were
bustling along. Typhoeus and King Charming
were doing some nice steady work. Nine Elms,
Beauclerk, and Cheltenham went well. Thursday.
—The following of Matthew Dawson's galloped
together :—Pericles and Bismarck, Julius and
Clairon, Corinne and Speculum, Clemence and
Angus, and Innerdale and Lanark. These all did
strong work. Pace and Harvester did a nicasteady
gallop by themselves. Laneret went a nice steady
gallop over the flat. Hermit, Vauban, St. Ronan,
Midshipman Easy, Knight of the Garter, Target,
and Blinkhoolie cantered, and afterwards the
"Knight" went a clinking gallop by himself.
Target led Blinkhoolie a fair gallop. Goodwood,
Python, and Kettleholder went a good gallop
across the flat, all three going strong and well.
—Friday.—Nine Elms and Cheltenham went a
steady gallop. Python and Kettleholder galloped
together. Clairon, Pace, Harvester, Julius, Con-
tempt, Lady Coventry, and Speculum did good
work. Typhoeus and Apollonius took nice exercise.
Demonstration, Verulam, Stephen Langton, and
Handsome Jack all galloped on the Long Hill.
Jasper, Restitution, Suffolk, and King Alfred gal-
loped on the flat. I think I have made mention of
all the horses engaged from here in the two great
handicaps at Epsom next week. _

RICHMOND.— Thursday.— Moldavia, Caprera,
Sorcerer, The Gleaner, Stella, and Annie Stewart
did some good work of a mile. Lund took his lot
down to Catterick, where they took some good gal-
lops, Adamant doing remarkably well. Watson
sent Lord Ronald and Chelsea a good steady gallop
of about a mile and a quarter. Virtue, Viridior,
and Buttercup went two miles steadily. Raunds
led Plaudit once round the moor gently. After all
the other teams had left, Lord Z ;Aland, with a lot
of friends, arrived on the moor, where they put
Geant des Batailles through the mill for Croston
Park. In the spin were El Cid, Hermosa, and
2Eothen, and the Geant was ridden by Mr. G. S.
Thompson, but I am sorry to say he has not made
the sli,ghttst improvement on last year's form, and
will never bring prestige to the Aske stable. Of
this moderate lot, ]Eotheu had much the best of it
all the way, the Geant toiling hopelessly in the rear.
Brautingham, Brennus, Felucca, and Valtz can-
tered, and then El Cid piloted Brennus and Valtz
steadily up the moor.

MlDDLl:llAM.—Thursday.—Fervaeques, Casta-
net, Lord Hastings, and Louis of Hesse had a good
gallop. Osborne's went through the same work as
on Wednesday, and Dawson's lot did some good
