The Queen will hold a Privy Council this day (Saturday) at Windsor Castle. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street. The ministers present were Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Earl Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, Sir G. C.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Hrs. Gladstone left town yesterday for Bowden-park, Chippsnden, thtereidence of Captain Gladstone. The Right Hon. W. Hutt left town yesterday for his seat, Gibside. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council at yester day, in the Conucil•chamber, for the purpose of giving judg ment on an appeal from the Court of Arches, ",Beath v. Border." Lord Cranwerth gave judgment, thattthe first charge against Mr. Heath was distincAlv made out; that the second charge was clearly made out ; that the third charge was fully established ; and that their lordships would advise her Majesty to effirm the judgment of the court below, unless Mr. Heath would revoke his errors. Mr. Heath must pay the costs of the appeal. The lords present were, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, Lord Cranworth, and the Londe Justices Knight , Bruce and Turner. COLONEL BII27IINCE must have strong interest. This incompetent officer has not only induced the Duke of CAMBRIDGZ to place him on the half-pay list in direct violation of two royal warrants, but he has succeeded in inducing Sir CoatrzwAix Lzwis, one of the most grim of philosophic states men, to defend the job before the House of Com mons. Lord HERBERT used to declare that the half-pay list was reserved for officers who were really incapable of further service, and both he and his colleagues often declared their anxiety to reduce the list to the lowest possible figure. The army costs the country enough without the additional necessity of keeping all the incompetent officers on the muster-roll. Sir CoarrawAti Lewis is certainly not yet pre pared to endorse the doctrine of General Pim., that such a case as that of Colonel BENTINCE does not come within the cognisance of the House of Commons. But he insists that since Colonel Siam, who has been brought from half-pay to take the place of Colonel Mumma, is younger in years, the public lose nothing by the exchange, and therefore ought to have nothing to say in the matter. It is very natural for the Duke of CAM BRIDGE and his military friends to insist that so long as the sum demanded out of the people's pocket& is not increased the people have nothing to do with the way in which it is spent. But it is surprising to find the WAR MINISTIZ adopt-' ing this theory. Youth is not the only essential for the command of a regiment, or of an army. On the contrary, at the Horse Guards as at the Vatican, youth is often a serious inconvenience. The younger a man is the longer it is likely that he will remain in his depart ment. But the selection of Colonel Snore to command did not involve the placing an incompetent Colonel on half-pay. The alternative of selling or standing a court-martial is familiar to the Horse Guards ; and if the same measure had been meted out to Colonel Bwrruscx as was meted out to his subaltern, Captain Roam.- scer, the former would either have been a Colonel on full pay, or no Colonel at all. No doubt this would have been a more severe punish ment than that which has now befallen him ; and the discontent of his military and private friends would have been more loudly expressed than it has been. Nevertheless the public would have felt that the WAR MINISTER had at length suc ceeded in asserting his supremacy over the COM MANDER-IN-CHIEF, and in controlling that spirit of favouritism which presides at the Hone Guards. But the WAR MINISTER has not merely connived at an act of favouritism, he ha& violated the distinct regulations contained in a royal warrant peened for the express purpose of reducing the half-pay list—and that for no reason whatever. Neither Sir CORNERALL Lewns nor the COMMANDZR-IN-Cain' has done any act which is technically illegal. A royal warrant is not an act of Parliament, and therefore it may be varied by the sanction of the Crown. But the COMMANDER IN-CHIEF had better not push this theory too far. Theoretically, no doubt the army is under the command of the Crown. The regulations as to education, as to qualification, as to retirement, are all subject to instantaneous change. But, surely, neither the Duke of Cum- His Highness Prince Mustapha Pacha has arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from Paris. Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess Sagau have arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from Paris.

The Bishop of London will not hold his usual weakly levee at London House, St. James's-square, on Tuesday next, the 10th instant, his lordship being engaged throughout the week at Fulham Palace with candidate@ for his general ordination ea Trinity Sunday. It is rumoured that Major-General Sir Edward Lewd, mananest Under Secretary of State for War, is to have one of the vacant regiments. The will of Colonel Sir William Lockyer Freeetun, of Belvidere, has been proved. This military officer bad served with distinction in the Peninsula, on the staff of General Sir de Lacy Evans, and in Syria, and received the Spanish orders of knighthood of Charles 111., San Fernando, and Isabella. Sir William represented Weymouth in pu liiunent from 1847 to 1869, and also hold the offices of ma gistrate and deputy-lieutenant for Da at. The teetator, who only attained to his 68th year, died at his town resi dence in April last, having the month preceding made his will, which is very brief, and disposes of the property, real and personal, prindp•lly to his widow. There is a singular bequest to Lord Palmerston of • watch and appendages, worn by Sir William (the testator), and which he (Sir William) requests that his lordship will do him the honour to accept. The will of James Shoolbred, Esq., of Totten ham-court-road, and of the Elms, Acton, was proved in the Court of Probate, on the 2nd inst., by John Young, Joseph Jordan Knight, and James Shoolbred, the execu tors. The effecta were sworn tinder 250,030/. The teetater bequeathed his leasehold premises in Tottenham. court road to his sou James, and the residue of his property equally amongst his children. The Times points out the numerous claims which the Viceroy of Egypt has upon Englishmen, and expresses • hope that the viceroy, during him stay among us, will meet with all the courtesy doe to his high rank and his exemplary conduct. "It must be contemned," says our contemporary, "that our treatment of such illustrious visitors is rather poor in comparison with the splendid hospitality of France. While a palace is placed at the disposal of • royal stranger in Paris, we leave him to take up Ida quarters in some close and inconvenient hotel, where, in return for an indifferent lodging and • commonplace cuisine, a bill is presented which might make Crmsus stare. Can we not do better this time, and treat our Eastern visitor as a sovereign prince should be treated The Queens in retirement, and cannot receive him, but • por tion of her palace in London might be placed at his service, as the Tuileries were; and some of the great officers of the court might be deputed to do the honours for her Majesty. Nor would it be out of place that some of the noblemen who have accepted the Pacha's courtesy in Egypt should remem ber it now that there is an opportunity of repayment. Let us not, while immersed in our own pursuits, neglect one who would have been the guest of the Sovereign had the time of his visit been a happier one. The nation now has it in its power to show that it appreciates his merits, and does not forget his many marks of good will to English man." THE periodical scoldings which the Colonies one after another get from the press of the Mother Country show bow much easier it is for the Crown to grant self-government to its subjects than for one commonwealth to respect the free and en lightened judgment of another. The other day it was Australia which was going straight and fast to ruin, because it had taken the popular elements of the British constitution and left the feudalism. Bat none of the mischiefs which we were then told were imminent have happened, and the change of ministry in Victoria, which had occasioned the outcry, has proved • positive advantage. To-day it is the turn of Canada to hear hard words and bitter remarks, easily enough spoken but impos eibleto be recalled. The Canadian Parliament has thrown out &particular bill on military defence, and straightway is told that it is signally wanting in the sentiment of liberty, and is spunging on Eng land. We object, in the name of sound policy and also in that of the principle of responsible go vernment, to these frequent and gratuitous cen sures. They perpetuate in another and moat offensive form that tutelage which we have had the wisdom to renounce in actual government. The inhabitants of Australia and Canada know better than we do what is their intention in this and that act, and in nine cases out of ten they are better judges of the fitting course of conduct than people at home can be. We may, and doubtless do, blunder in the animadversions upon foreign governments which have formed the staple of our newspaper articles since the prevalent optimism in home politics set in ; and we can do so with out working much harm. But experience proves that invective and reproach, coming from a people speaking the same language, and from whom intelligence and consideration are expected, are not received as patiently as they would be from total strangers. These frequent censures never do good, and only irritate some of our best friends. The attack made on the Canadians yesterday by a contemporary is not justified by any public facts. It is taking • great liberty with a people in the enjoyment of constitutional rights to affix to their acts a meaning which they repudiate, one that stand., moreover, in opposition to qualities for which they have lately been highly praised by their present detractors. The Canadian Par liament has rejected Mr. Cumuli's Militia Bill ; but that it has declined the duty of under taking the public defenm4 of the country no one has • right to say. If we look to the amendments which the Opposition had placed on the books we find that some of them are in favour of another mode of providing for the security of the territory, one more analogous to our own volunteer organization, while others recommend the reference of the whole subject to a select committee. If we look to the language of the Opposition press, we find it asserting as a notorious fact that the adver saries of Mr. CARTIER'S Ministry Were and are notions anxious than its supporte-s can be for the institu tion of a Militia system suited to the necessities of the colony. The Toronto Globe says :—" The " gentlemen who have defeated the Government " on the Militia Bill are avovedly as favourable to " a proper reorganization of the Militia of the " province as the present Ministry can be. They " voted against the Bill because it was too cam " brans and costly, and because they could not " entrust the carrying out of its provisions to the " hands of the present men." Add to this that Mr. bf'DoNsin, the new Premier, has stated that one of the measures he will introduce into Par liament is a Militia Bill, and it will be seen that the charge made against the Canadian Opposition is ill-considered and premature. We are not left in doubt as to the influences which have led our contemporary to accuse of selfishness • community which it was lately hold ing . up as an example of patriotism and public spirit. They appear plainly in the complaint that the Canadians have not rushed to arms "on the 11R1D(73 nor Sir Coaraw.tu. Lawn can suppose that this would be endured. The theory that these royal warrants are only made to be applied to par ticular CUE% and that the COMMLNDEK-IN-CRIZIP to make as many exceptions as he pleases, is too startling to pour unchallenged. These warrants can not be allowed to evaporate into a mere set of rules which are never to be followed. The excep tion must not be practically elevated into the rule. The warrant notices the possibility of an occasional exception ; but in that defining the cases in which an officer is to be permitted to retire upon half pay no allusion is made to any such exception. It is clear that the House of Commons was taken by surprise by the defence met up by Sir Cowin- WALL Loris, and Mr. CONINOHAK will do well to bring on the subject again for discussion. DEATH op MR. BUCKLE. "least surmise of danger from foreign enemies." It is inconceivable to our contemporary that the Canadians should not apprehend danger of inva sion from the United States. It is long since the Tick.. adopted the theory that the• American nation is • disorganized masa, governed by no settled principles, but hurried hither and thither by fitful and inexplicable influences, amenable to no authority, and carrying its leaders away with its own gusty passion. And it maintains this theory still, although Mr. Liscoxac has steadily carried out the Chicago programme announced while he was yet a private citizen, and although recent English travellers express stir- prise, as well they may, considering what pre judices they took out, at the habit of implicit obedience to the Government which marks the merican people. In these circumstances it is natural that our contemporary should be asto nished that the Canadians are not exceedingly apprehensive of an attack. As they are not, and as they are in a very favourable position for estimating the probabilities of aggression, we venture to conclude that the danger is not such as has been supposed. We regret to hear of the death at Damascus on the 31st alt. of Yr. Heavy Thomas Bookie, the well known author of the "History M Olvilleatioe in Enilsod." The deceased gentlemen wee here at Lee, Nov. 24, 1822. His father was a wealthy merchant, and Mr. Buckle enjoyed the advantages of an excellent education in Dr. JIM/ Thomas Holloway's school at Gordon House, Modish Town, end also of having at his command an excellent and extensive librery in his father's house. After leaving Dr. Holloway's school. be entered his father's counting-house; bet instead of giving his attention to business, he devoted it to chew, and exhibited so much aptitude for this game that he gained the reputation of being one of the first players of England, if not of the world. His father dying io 1840, leaving him as ample fortune, he was enabled to indulge his taste tar books, and devoted himself henceforward exclusively to literary pursuits, for which he was by his secluded aid studious habits better qualified than for more active can cations. The first part of a work which has pined for him a considerable reputation appeared in 18157, entitled " Sir tory of Civilisation in Wend.* A provincial matriculation examination of the University of London will be held at Queen's College, Liverpool, in July next.

Canada, or the Canadian ocsination Englhad, to - • the chances of war, is a delicate question, on which the Canadians will form their own opinion, little influenced by anything that can be urged from this aide, and we see nothing to be gained by dis cussing it. The defence of Canada, however, be the danger of invasion greater or leas, is before all things a Canadian question, and we are glad to see it so represented. The best service we can render the Canadians is to state frankly our position in the matter, and tell them plainly how much and how little we can do for them. We are very glad to see the Times now doing this, and informing the Canadians truly that "it is not in our power to " send forth from this little island a military " force sufficient to defend the frontier of Canada " against the numerous armies which have learnt " arms and discipline in the great school of the " present civil war. Our resources are unequal "to so large a concentration of force on a single " point ; our empire is too vast, our popula " tion too small." Our military capabilities con stitute a topic on which the Canadians will read our contemporary's columns with attention and also with profit if it will only hold a consistent language. But we cannot help remembering that when an eminent writer had the courage to pub lish in this journal, last January, a truthful letter on this subject, containing a statement of the limit of our helpfulness more moderate than that wo have just quoted, it was made the occasion not only for an indecent personal attack, but of a general inti mation to the colonies that our national greatness is inseparably bound up with " empire." If the Canadians are really the close and selfish calculators they were described yesterday, we should be justi fied in believing that such intimations, repeated both loud and often, could not be wasted on them. ROME. The Opinion Nationale learns that the bishops in Rome are making great efforts to induce the Pope to pronounce the major excommunication against Victor Emmanuel and his adherenta, and to relieve his subjects from the oath of allegiance. A communication from Rome of the Ist says : The Pope, in the two semi-public consistories which have been held, very soon forgot the Japanese martyrs, to think only of hie present position, and to melt into tear in relating his miafortuees. His Holiness went so far as to speak of the possibility of his death, and amidst the commiseration of those pre sent he pointed oat to the bishops the line of conduct which they should follow in that event. The bishops them selves feel that they have been less called to decide on • canonisation than to console and sustain the common father of believers. The thirty prelates who arrived et Rome together on the 21st, at tho head of whom were the Arch bishops of Toulouse, Bens, and Avignon, and the Bishops of Nimes and Montauban, thought they could not do better than sign on board the steamer of the Mesemigeriee Imperials' a collective address to the Pope, and they for warded it to Pius IX. even before setting foot in the Holy City. The consistory which is to follow the canonisation of the Bth June, and in which will be brought forward the question of the temporal power of the Pope, is now no longer • matte of doubt. GERMANY. A letter from Munich of the 6th, in the Moniteur, has the following : A singular conflict has just arisen between the first and second Prussian Chambers. The nobles pretend that the sessions of the Upper Chamber are permanent, and cannot be considered as interrupted by the dissolution of the Chambers, sinew that measure, in fact, only directly affects; the deputies subject to re-election. The latter do not ad mit such an interpretation of Art. 51 of the ametitution, according to which the King coavokee the Chambers and closes their sessions—the clime appearing to apply to both the legislative powers. This is in reality • quarrel of words, but the Chamber of Deputies take up the matter seriously, and will have it cleared up. HITNGARY. LETTER FROM GENERAL EL/U.S.A. General Kieft& has just sddreeeed to K Kossuth the following letter : My dear and eery honoured friend,—Four years ago the march of events obliged us to undertake most seriously the work of the deliverance of our unhappy country. It was then that we formed with our noble friend, Count Ladislaus Teleki, and under your presidency, the National Hungarian Committee. We have served the cause as well as the circumstances and the limited moue at oar disposal would permit. The arrest of Wish= Teleki and his unhappy sod was the first blow to which our foreign organisation had to submit. Of the three members of the oommitttee one was dead ; you were io London ; I was at Geneva, detained there by my private interests. My intention was then to propose to you either the mon. dilution or the complete dissolution of the committee. Yielding to the solicitations of my political friend; I had postponed any proceedings in that direction. Circumstances now imperatively require me to retire alto. ' gather. My health has of late suffered considerably. My private affairs demand • greeter plane in my thoughts ; henceforth I shall not be able to devote myself to our political interests, except in a very inadequate manner. Assuredly my most sincere wishes will religiously follow those whose time, efforts, and activity are consecrated to the triumph of our cause ; but I cannot extend to it any longer my responsibility ; I cannot attach to it any longer my name. I withdraw, then, renouncing from this time all interven tion in the direction of the affain of the Hungarian exiles. If I re-enter some day into military politics it will be only in napalms to an appeal from the coun try. After fourt eon years' uninterrupted labour for the welfare of my unhappy country, I return to private life bearing with me a deep conviction that I have °mecum.. Cosily fulfilled my duties. There still remains to me the hope that my retirement will not in any way prejudice our cause, and that, without any action on my part, the first rays of reoonquered liberty will ere long shine upon my country. For that purpose let *mooed closely unite all the patriotic elements abroad. To keep pure and stainless the honour of the Hungarian name is the first of duties, and I know that none of my compatriots will fail in it.—Reoeive, &c., (Signed) KlArn.t. London, May 30.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day Signor Ratazzi said :—" The government has never encouraged premature hopes of a solution of the Roman question. We ought to employ moral means to demonstrate our unshaken will to occupy our capital, and to convince Europe of our right. The government alone ought to regulate the armaments. It has never sent money to Garibaldi, and has always refused to join in the expeditions which were proposed." The Chamber rejected the motion for an inquiry into the late event, and adopted, by 189 to 38, the following order of the day :—" Having heard the explanation of the ministry in reference to the recent events, the Chamber approves its conduct, and is confident that it will always maintain the authority of the law and of parliament." 28 mem bers abstained from voting. THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS IN THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, SATUIDAT. The debate on the address was resumed yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies and lasted 12 hours. The address proposed by Baron von Vincke, which was moderately liberal in tone, and the conservative amendment of Herr Reicheruiperger, were rejected ' by a large majority. Herr Bregend's amendment asking for a develop ment of the constitution, so as to establish the independence of the communes and district ad ministrations, and for the reduction of the taxation to a degree corresponding more with the resources of the nation, was agreed to. The amendment of Herr von Vybels, who be longs to the most advanced section of the liberal party, in reference to the question of Electoral Hesse, was agreed to by 253 against 55 votes. The address proposed by the commission modi fied by the above mentioned amendments was then agreed to by 219 against 101. The conservative, Polish, old-liberal, catholic, and some progressist members formed the minority. Herr Grabow has announced that the King will to-day receive the members chosen to present the address. SPAIN. MADRID, JUNI 6.

Yesterday a Servisn policeman of this city, who was ill-treated by the Turkish officer of the guard, wounded a Turkish soldier after having fired two pistol shots. The gates of the citadel were closed and,opmmunication between it and the city was sus pended. Crowds assembled within the city. Tran ijuillity being restored to-day, the communication with the citadel has been re-opened, but the gar rison still remains under arms. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. WWI 0011 OWN PARIS, FRIDAY EVICIMIG. A paragraph in this evening's Patric adds con siderably to the evidence in favour of the rumour, which I noticed the other day, apropos of the ap pointment of M. de Badberg to be Russian ambas sador here, that an entente cordiak was brewing between Russia and France. It was lately stated that the Sultan had acceded to a joint application by Russia and France for permission to restore the cupola of the Holy Sepulchre, which is crumbling to ruins. But this story is now varied by news from Constantinople, which the Patric presents as "highly interesting." The Porte, it appears, did say that it was disposed to give • favourable con sideration to the request made by France, as protectress of the Roman catholics of all rites, and Russia as protectress of the various sects of schis matics. But the Sultan has claimed the privilege of contributing • third part of the expenses on be half of the Christian subjects of his empire, and the important news of the Patric is that France and Russia will not consent to admit Turkey as • partner in their holy work. The two powers also reject • proposal that Austria, Spain, Bavaria, Italy, and other catholic states should be allowed to contribute, and insist upon what they call their " indisputable right" to preserve the Holy Places, without permitting a question to be raised about any other nations. "It is impossible," the Patric sententiously observes in conclusion, "to foresee the future, but if the Eastern question is to be opened upon this new ground, the two powers, for merly enemies, but now allies, would find them selves supported, for divers reasons, by all the Christian populations of the East," The Esprit Public repeats, in spite of contra dictions, that the cabinet of St. Petersburg has lately addressed a circular to the Russian consuls in the East, of a character extremely encouraging to the Christian populations who desire to throw off the yoke of the Sublime Porte. The Patris states that, in spite of the protest of Admiral Jurien de la Gravikre and M. de Saligny— who, it seems, broached the strange doctrine that because France contemplates the conquest of Mexico the latter power cannot make • valid con tract for a loan—Mr. Corwin, the United States minister at Mexico, did on April 28 sign a conven tion with President Ju area, by which the United States agreed to advance to Mexico the sum of 26 millions of dollars, on the security of the revenues of certain Mexican provinces. Baron Mercier, the French minister at Washington,has informed Presi dent Lincoln that France will consider the above convention as null and void. Here then is a dear cases bath for the future between France and the United States. Verily the Temps was well advised when it said yesterday, echoing the words of the Moniteur that the public daily takes more and more interest in the affairs of Mexico—" this phrase is, perhaps, true in a sense not intended." The news given by the Pays that the French army bad on May 25 passed Montezuma, and were within a few hours' march of the city of Mexico, is disbelieved by Buther's Correspondence, which observes that such intelligence, supposing it to be true, cannot possibly be received for a week to come. Generally speaking the exclusive intel ligence from Mexico, given as "latest news" by the official papers, may be safely set down as fabulous. The Bourse has been a little firmer, bet prioes remain almost unchanged. The only noticeable difference in railway shares is a fall of 13fr. 75c. in Orleans. It is rumoured that M.

"The Prince J4rOme says the Journal de Rosen, " which has brought back Prince Napoleon to France, has received orders to proceed imme diately from Marseilles to Havre, and the officers could not even obtain permission to land. That fact leads to the belief that the Prince, although only just returned to France, is about to embark 'for England." The Duke de Riario-Sforsa has just died in Paris. HOLLAND. (nom as ores:noes'. ocaararognm.) THE HAGUE, Joie 4. Preparations are being made on a grand scale for the reception of the Japanese ambassadors, who on leaving England purpose paying a visit of a few weeks in the Netherlands. On terms which shocked the dignity of all other European nations, Holland was permitted, two hundred years ago, to keep up a mercantile intercourse with Japan, and that pri vilege, such as it was, was enjoyed by the Dutch exclusively until Commodore Perry obtained from Japan a footing in that country for his pushing countrymen. In the insignificant island of Decima, separated from the main land by • pores lain bridge, according to fable—by a few plank; according to fact—the Dutch, during two centuries, have bad a factory—that is, a few warehouses and offices, in which they have carried on business ; purchasing in the Batavian markets European pro duce and manufactures for the Japanese markets, and exporting thence to Holland five cargoes annually (according to treaty) of tea-trays and tea caddies, of idols and monsters, silk dressing gowns and counterpanes, work-boxes and un goable clocks, and • host of other useless articles, which found in Holland a ready sale, however, on account of their scarcity. Such was their in tercourse with Japan that the Japanese officials were supposed to have acquired the Dutch lan guage—which was the only means they possessed of communicating with the Dutch nation. Relying on this fiction Lord Malmesbury actually required all interpreters in British service in Japan to be well up in the Dutch language—a language of which they are wholly ignorant. It seems, how ever, that the Japanese always had two or three native surveyors in Decima, to report to the govern ment the doings of the Dutch, as well as to send up to headquarters translated precis of European news with which the Dutch residents in Decima were bound to supply them. It is certainly • curious thing that, after all this exclusive inter course for centuries, the Dutch have not been able to obtain a commercial treaty with the Japanese on such favourable terms as those nations whom they had hitherto re palled. Presents of great value have been ex changed between the Emperor of Japan and the King of Holland, and Dutch shipbuilders and engineers have been appointed to lucrative posts tuider the Japanese government ; and now an effort will be made by the Dutch government to obtain from the Japanese ambassadors a treaty of a more liberal character than that of Prance or England. On arriving at Hellevoet a royal steam yacht will conduct them to Rotterdam, where they will be received by ministers and burgomas ters, and be escorted by the national and civic guard to the Hague. There they will be received by the King in full ceremony, attended b,y his ministers and officers ; royal carriages will be placed at their disposal ; military music will rouse them from their slumbers and lull them to rest ; sentinels will guard their persons, and their excel lencies will be made to believe that the Dutch are the greatest people under the sua.

Commodore Wellesley returns to Europe by the steamer leaving Bombay this day. Ilia departure is regretted by all who have come in contact with him here, and that may be said to be the entire population of the island. The Indian navy has never had such • commander as the one under whom its career closes. From the days of Sir R. Oliver to those of Sir H. Leeke, an incessant stream of complaints from the service into the prey: from the hour Commodore Welles leyurtoisted his flag we have never heard a word uttered against him. His =affected considerateness toward', and interest in, the officers and men of the service, are inn. riably spoken of with warmth. In • word, Commodore Wellesley, to a sound common sense and honest geniality, unites the usdefioable but always all-prevailing qualities' at a tbmough English gentleman. It is difficdt to emirate adequately the regret with which the Indian navy regards the retirement of its cam. mander-hrehisf. The feeling is deep and universal, and offers a marked contrast to the temper of mind with which earlier removals were regarded. In the rough but forcible phraseology of the service itself, Commodore Wellesley is efr that "he has never committed an act of injostioe." Wen the commodore not retiring ostensibly "au leave," the navy would have got up an mita= to him of no ordinary kind. The commodore has won the public regard by the liberality with which be has identified himself with us, himself ever ready, and without a thought of self, to P 7S v idliy his influeoce every work of usefulness or towns knee amongst us. We sincerely trust that higher booms are in store for him at home, and that he may be spared many years to their enjoyment— a boa in which every reader of the= columns will heartily join.
