Kern, the Swiss Minister in Paris. It commences with the usual recapitulation of M. Thouvenel's arguments, and which, being already in your hands, it is useless to repeat. The note continues thus : "The Federal Council can the less refrain from answering this note that it has not the same man ner of viewing matters as is expressed therein, and that it does not consider as proved by history the facts which are alleged in it. It will take the liberty, in commencing, to examine the last part of the' note, which treats of the stipulations as of the value that should be given to the said treaties. For all that is essential it refers to the detailed memo randum on the relations between Switzerland and neutralised Savoy, which appeared under its autho rity at the close of last year, and which has been communicated to all the high Powers. Neverthe less, it cannot do otherwise - than insist on the fol lowing special points, to which, in his opinion, the note of the 17th March (M. Thouvenel's reply to the protest) attaches too little importance, or which it passes over in complete silence. " The Treaty of Peace of 1564 was not concluded exclusively between Berne and Savoy. It was the result of an intervention by arbitrement exercised by the eleven non-interested States, and it was guaranteed formally by France and Spain, since the signatures of those high guaranteeing Powers are to be found on this peace treaty. " There exists no sufficient reason to prove that this treaty has been abrogated by the events which have taken place since then. Even on recent occa sions France appears to have had a different mode of viewing this matter, as in 1798 she grounded on those very treaties of 1564 the right to a military occupation of the Pays de Vaud. Can, then, this treaty have lost all value, merely because it is now appealed to by Switzerland? " The 23d article of the Treatyrof Turin, of the 16th of March, 1816, comes in support of the actual validity of this treaty. The article is couched in these terms :—' The provisions of the ancient treaties, and particularly of the 3d of June, 1754, which are not expressly abrogated by the present treaty, are confirmed.' Now, we find nowhere an express suppression of the Treaty . of 1'464, and we are consequently authorised in maintaining that it has been confirmed by the article alluded to. " As to what concerns the origin and the bearing of the Treaties of 1815, in so far as they concern the rights of Switzerland on neutralised Savoy, the minutes of the deliberations, and the notes exchanged, supply sufficient information. The report has been treated in full detail, and is founded on authentic letters in the above cited nzenzoire. It appears positively from it that it was the declaration from Geneva to the Congress of Vienna that suggested the idea of a partial neu tralisation of Savoy. and defended it with great energy. It was then clearly demonstrated that this neutralisation was as much in the interest of Switzerland as in that of Sardinia; that without it the cantons of the Valais and Geneva, and espe cially the passage of the Simplon, would be con stantly menaced ; and that without the neutraliza tion it would be impossible to maintain the neu trality of Switzerland with any chance of success, and consequently to defend the independence of the Confederation. _ _ " For these reasons, based completely on the geo- graphical position of the north of Savoy, some well known clauses were inserted in the treaty of the 29th March, 1815, which, at the present moment, have acquired fresh importance. The provinces of Chablais and Faucigny, and all the territory situate to the north of the Ugine, wore declared to be com prised in the Swiss neutrality. It was stipulated that in case of war no troops of any PoVver could either remain in or traverse them. Finally, power was given to Switzerland to place troops in the neu tralized provinces, in order to defend her own neu trality with a chance of success, and that without prejudice to the civil administration of the provinces. The European treaties of the 29th of March and the 20th of November, 1815, evidently did not give Switzerland simple duties; on the contrary, they conferred on her very important rights, which are intimately connected with the right of her own preservation. There can, therefore, be no question of an obligation imposed for the performance of a certain duty. Switzerland made no objection as far as regards the north of Savoy ; but she offered opposition only when the second peace of Paris placed the territories beyond the mountain in the same category as Chablais, Faucigny, and Upper Geneva, and for which there did not appear to exist sufficient motives to call for their being made part of the Swiss neutrality. " To the surrender of the neutralised provinces in the restricted sense, or of the north of Savoy, has been often suggested the opposition that the pas sage through Savoy would meet on a certain side. It has been demonstrated in another place that such a dismemberment would not be a new fact in the history of Savoy. Even a recent period supplies a formal proof in support of this allegation. In 1815 some portions of the territory of Savoy had already been restored to Sardinia, while other parts re mained in possession of France. " If attention be paid to the feelings of the people, who on this occasion appear to supply the motives for decision, and of which the Federal Council by no means disregards the importance, a claim may be made for the population of the north of Savoy, in conformity with all the rules of equity—the right to express freely their opinion. Or perhaps no attention should be paid to the 12,000 citizens wbo have already declared for annexation to Swit zerland, who have declared that their interests and their wishes—their tendencies, their wants, their sympathies, are quite different from those of the southern provinces. " If at present Switzerland has been the first to declare for the maintenance of the status quo, she has taken no step from which an absolute resistance to the cession of Savoy can be inferred—she does not wish in any manner to infringe on the preroga tives of his Majesty the King of Sardinia. She ab stains from all new political discussion on that subject. What Switzerland demands, and on which she thinks she has a right to insist with out in any manner violating the principles of justice and equity, is, that regard shall be paid to her rights, duly acquired and solemnly guaran teed by the Powers, and that they shall not be dis posed of without her knowledge and concurrence. The Federal Council have set forth their pretensions specially in the notes of the 9th of March addressed to Paris and to Turin. The Federal Council have not for a moment for gotten the proofs of friendship and good neigh bourhood aftbrded by France. They have accepted, with full confidence, the promises made to them on the 6th of February; and they feel pleasure in remarking particularly that the note addressed on the 24th of last month, by M. Thouvenel, to the' French Legation at Turin, expresses the decided intention of taking into account the interests of Switzerland in a suitable manner in the new ar rangement. " Now that the question of the cession has been submitted to the great Powers, no one can offer any reproach to Switzerland for having addressed her self to the Powers guaranteeing the treaties, to demand of them that a matter in which her gravest interests are at stake shall not be decided upon without her concurrence. On that, in fact, rests all the importance which must be attributed to the steps taken by the Federal Council, and Switzer land may hope that her reasons will be considered with impartiality, and that France in particular will be disposed to take them into account. " The point of view which in this matter is the dominant one for Switzerland, may be noticed in the following terms :—For the maintenance of her neutrality and of her independence the rights which the treaties have guaranteed to Switzer land on neutralised Savoy are indispensable to the Confederation. Those rights were stipulated by the Powers for the interest of the whole of Europe. "Now, according to the principles of interna tional law and the rights of peoples, it is not lawful to dispose of such rights without the concurrence of one of the parties principally interested. Therefore, FIiIDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1860. it may be expected with entire confidence that the question of the cession will not be resolved but with the participation of Switzerland, in accordance with her, and with a due and honest regard for her in• terests France certainly will not refuse her friendly concurrence as a good neighbour towards the at tainment of that object. You are requested to read this note to the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs; and to leave a copy with him.

(Concluded from Ike Times of March 29.) The article in our impression of the 29th on this subject merely pointed out the deficiencies which attract notice even from the least observant visitor to St. Martin's-le-Grand. The cause of them are, however, less apparent until the whole postal sys tem is scrutinised, when we at once see that the shortcomings which occasionally so puzzle the public are due entirely to the most anomalous mis management. Letter-carrying, our readers must remember, was made a Government monopoly at a time when, for State reasons, it was thought ad visable that the authorities should have some check upon private and public correspondence, and when, in fact, no other machinery existed or could then be relied on for the transmission of letters safely. Both these reasons, however, have long since ceased to have any weight,—first,. because the carriage of public letters—the newspapers—has passed into the hands of the news-agents ; and, secondly,: be cause the greatest machine of all for rapid com munication, the electric telegraph, and also the railway parcels' post, is entirely in the hands of private individuals. To these causes_ may be at tributed the opinion which has latterly grown up extensively, that the carriage of letters, like mail contracts, should be also entrusted to private com panies, and that the Government should not wring a profit larger than the paper duty from their having a legal monopoly of the means of meeting the chief daily want of the age. At all events, there are few who will not agree that when the profit is so great the service should at least be well conducted and made in all things subordinate to the convenience of the public. The carriage of newspapers, though not claimed as an exclusive right by the Legislature, was at first obtained by extraordinary pecuniary facilities being granted for their transmission through the post. Thus, while one scale of charges was adopted for the private letter, another and a much lower one was provided for the public or " news-letter," as papers were then called. By the carriage of these latter papers, then, the post-office gradually ceased to be apolitical organ for giving Government control over the correspondence of the country, and assumed its modern aspect of a State machine, for the rapid and cheap transmission of private letters and public intelligence. In this state the penny postage was introduced, at once granting an im mense boon to all classes, though it was attended with some drawbacks, which it may be worth while now to glance at for an instant Since the penny postage there has been an immense increase in the business of the General Post-office, an increase which daily continues, though there has been no corresponding extension of the system or ally sim plification of arrangements for meeting that extra duty. The authorities could not evade their direct responsibility in the matter of letters, but have met it as best they could, which, as we think has been already shown, is badly enough. Ne wspapers, how ever, were very differently circumstanced from letters. Latterly, they have always been looked on with a disfavour that has steadily increased, for the simple reason that their sorting and despatch gave a great deal of trouble, while the proceeds of their impressed stamps went altogether to another department. As this feel ing of disfavour was safely indulged in it gave rise to restrictions on their postal transmission, which has gradually created out of doors a sort of independent post by means of news agents, who were compelled to undertake their transmission for the sake of despatch in the first instance, and now, also ,for the sake of economy, This aid, which it certainly had no right to expect, has emboldened the Post-office to add yet ansther restriction tend ing to get rid of newspapers altogether. Recourse has been had to the curious artifice of pretending not to be able to distinguish between a newspaper and any other printed matter, and so to get a book post established, which has been gradually worked up'to a small parcels' post, and which is now, in fact, a small parcels' post altogether. Newspapers, which in the first instance were not distinguished from letters and were entitled to the same despatch in transmission, have thus been gradually turned over to the book or small parcels' post, and so left entirely to the convenience of the office as to the price and rate of forwarding. Any one who will take the trouble to visit St. Martin's-le-Grand will find that in practice there is not the least difficulty in distinguishing between newspapers and books sent by post, though it is stated thatthe great difficulty does exist in distinguishing between a book sent through the book post and a letter or a parcel that should be charged according to the letter rate of postage. So nice, indeed, is the dis tinction between these two that in a number of instances the doubt can only be resolved by open ing and inspecting the contents of the letter or parcel in question. Being a Government department, the Post-office has also used, or rather abused, its authority from time to time to fix most arbitrary rules of transmiEs sion and standards of weight levelled at the daily press especially, the power of which has been as little liked by successive Administrations as i's immense circulation has been inconvenient to the Post-office. So it has come to pass that for all practical purposes the transmission of news, while it is stilt fresh and valuable to the public, has been choked off from the General Post-office altogether, which prefers, to that important function of its duties, the profits to be obtained by competing with the carriers of the country in transmitting every conceivable description of small parcel under rates obtained from the railways for the carriage of letters and papers only. Of all the immense number of daily papers sent from London each morning the Post-office only takes from 6,000 to 7,000, by its early mails, and even of this number it not unfrequently happens that many are left be hind. The cheap papers and the high-priced are alike sought to be excluded from the use of this establishment by a tariff, which is either an entire prohibition in the case of penny papers, or a most severe restriction with the other journals. To check the use of the Post-office when most required, the old twopenny rate, abandoned on a ll other corre spondence, is still speci a ll y reta i ne d on papers postedfor delivery in the metropolis—that is, within three miles of the Post•office—viz., the penny im pressed stamp paid to the Stamp office, and the ad ditional penny on delivery. Like all over-severe enactments, this de facto prohibition in the case of several journals defeats itself, for, as we have said, a number of these papers are posted at Greenwich, and thus the Post-office merely reaps this extra trouble of their longer transmission without any extra fee at all. The impressed stamp on the news papers is not now obliterated in passing through the post. If under Mr. Gladstone's proposed ar rangement each paper is to have a common penny stamp affixed, its obliteration will become impera tive; and, as there is not a sufficient amount of space at St. Martin's to meet this great increase of work, it will, it seems, be almost necessary to ex clude newspapers from the use of the post entirely. The recent attempt to save labour in the letter de partment of the office by making the public to affix the initials of the postal district has proved almost a failure for letters posted in London. At the Ge neral Post-office it is stated that the sorters never NOW look at the initial letter at all, and that, when they do so, the public, in a large proportion of in stances, were found to have affixed wrong initials, which led to the letters being missorted and delayed in consequence, while there are actually instances of letters marked N.W. and S.W., being sent to North and South Wales. For letters coming to London which are sorted in the trains the initial letters may to a certain extent render the duties of sorters easier, and therefore enable more profit to be derived from the Po-t-office by its employing a fewer number of hands. But this most short-sighted system, which leads to neglect of efficiency in order to wring from the establishment the greatest amount of pro fit to the Government is one which the public are scarcely called upon to further, for it has already been pushed to the utmost limit to which it is en durable for the employes, and no further saving can be effected in the department save by sacrificing the interests of the public. Nearly 90 per cent. of those employed by the General and district post-offices in the metropolis fill the subordinate positions of mes sengers, letter-carriers, or sorters, and the hours of labour of these unfortunate functionaries have been so much increased, while their rate of remuneration has been so diminished, that the positions we have mentioned no longer offer inducement's for men of average education and good character to enter them at all. We know very well the maxim that labour always commands its price, and it is because we are impressed with the truth of this axiom, and know that when a fair remuneration is not paid neither good men nor good work are to be got, that we direct attention to the dealings of the Post-office authorities in this matter. The three classes we have named number about 4,000 men; the first class, that of messengers, receive 103. a-week ; the second, letter-carriers, from 18s. to 235. ; the third, the sorters, from 30s. a-week to £2. Of this num ber nearly 3,000 are letter-carriers or messengers ; for, in order to reduce still further the expense and increase the profit to the establishment, a number of the sorters have been made to do what was for me :1y clerks' work, while the letter carriers and sorters are employed indiscriminately in either sort ing or taking out the mails. Let us take the ease of the letter-carriers and sorters. These men come to the Post-office at 5 in the morning, and work at sort ing the letters and papers till 8, some of them find ing time in the interval to swallow down their break fasts in the shape of a lump of dry bread. At 8 o'clock they have to take out the letters for delivery till 11 or 12, and they are then supposed to have the inter val between 12 and 5 in the evening to themselves, though they must not be out of the way, as they are held to be liable for duty when called upon. •At 5 they return to the Post-office, where they again sort the letters, and a ga i n a t 8 ta k e t h em out for deli very till 9 or 10. Nominally the messengers are not supposed to sort or take out letters at all, but in fact, as these men are employed at only 10s. a week, their number has been increased, and they discharge each duty as much as the letter-carriers themselves. The great chiefs of the Post-office, indeed, endea vour to excuse this dreadful system of underpay ment by asserting that those employed at 10s. can make a shilling a night extra by over-hours. _ But in effect this is denied by the working chiefs of de partments, who allege that the men cannot always find :this extra work to do, and that, as an over tasked and ill-fed man has not an inexhaustible fund of energy in him, those who do work over hours one night are next day unable to get through their regular labour, and the public service suffers in consequence. A oin, it is said that the letter carriers de facto work at tailoring or job-work of various kinds in the interval they are supposed to have to themselves between 12 and 5 in the day. But this, if true, only shows that the men are driven to seek other aids, besides their regular Govern ment duty in the Post-office, to keep life and soul together. The wages were formerly some three or four shillings a week higher, but, without th e l eas t reason assigned, they have been reduced, and the characters of the class of persons employed have sunk in proportion. Hard-worked and ill-paid, the men are discontented and sullen—they are indifferent to the proper performance of their duties, and hold the threat of dismissal in utter disdain, feeling sure, as they say, that even stoncbreaking on the roadside would not be harder labour, and scarcely less remunerative. These things have borne their natural fruits, and there is no concealing the fact that Post-office robberies arc certainly not on the decrease, though they are less discovered than formerly, notwithstanding the immense extent to which the system of espionnage has been developed. It may seem in credible, yet we are informed on the most reli able authorities that there is scarcely a person at the General Post-office, from letter-carriers up to heads of departments, who has not at some time or other been suspected and placed under the sur veillance of Post-office detectives. Many, indeed, have even been actually searched for missing letters specially marked, and sent through' their division to detect their supposed felonies. No one can tell with accuracy the extent to which this espionnage has been carried. It is only felt to be everywhere, and shrewedly guessed to cost a far larger sum for its maintenance than would, if divided among the salaries of the subordinate officials, be sufficient to secure men of a higher class and better character' As it is, even this all-pervading system of detec tives fails, as we have said, to cheek peculation. The Custom-house used to hold it as a principle that when the duty on any article was more than 30 per cent. it was impossible to prevent smuggling; and so, we suppose, even the most jealous system of police will fail to prevent robbery when ill-paid men have letters passing through their hands directed to bankers, and which their experience teaches them often contain large sums in cheques or notes. We need scarcely say that the system of inadequate remuneration is by no means confined to the subordinates, for Post-office payment of all kinds is proverbial, though in the case of the clerks and others the feeling it excites is simply one of deep discontent, and of course it never manifests itself in peculation. But this discontent has passed into a feeling much deeper than is generally im plied by the term, and we may be said to speak in the names of two-thirds of those employed at St. Martin's-le-Grand when we state that the great wish there now is for a Parliamentary inquiry into the whole postal system, both as regards the in terests of the public and the interests of those em ployed. If any member of the House will take the trouble to visit the Post-office and investigate this matter for himself for a few days, he will find that want of room, want of improved system, and want of a properly paid and efficient staff, are fast giving rise to such disorganisation as almost calls for the interference of the Legislature. Unless some such step is taken the public may depend that the mis management and discontent which have been so long accruing will continue to show themselves even more rapidly than of late, and till one of the most important of our national institutions loses all claim to the character of efficiency. THE BURGLARY AND MURDER AT STAMEO.RD. Henry Corby was yesterday charged before the borough magistrates with the murder of Elizabeth Pulley, by suffocating, choking, strangling, and burning her; and also with breaking into the dwelling-house of the deceased and stealing there from 100 sovereigns, a £lO note, six gold rings, a quantity of silver plate, and a writing-desk, her property. The prisoner is about 50 years of age and a earpenter. Sergeant Harrison, of the Stamford borough police, examined—On M on d a y, M arc h 19, I was directed to enter the premises of Eli za b e th Pulley, who livedin the High-street, St. M ar ti n ' s . I went in company with Mr. George and constable Dal rymple, and with a ladd er sea l e d th e sou th wa ll of Miss Pulley's back premises. I got over into the garden, and then, by opening the garden door, let in Mr. George and the Rev. J. Place. We went down towards the house, and found the passage door wide open. We looked into the side of the back entrance, and saw nothing there. We then looked into the room on the opposite side, the door of which was partly open, and there, on the hearth, I saw the body of the deceased, Miss Pulley. The body lay within about three or four inches of the fire-grate, on the east side of the room. Deceased lay on her back, with her head on the hearthstone, and the body in a slanting direction, in front of the grate ; from the shoulders downwards the body was on the boarded floor. It was an oak floor. The head was turned a little over, the left shoulder to wards the grate, and the legs were crossed. Parts of the clothing, and also of the body, had been de stroyed by fire. The remains of the clothing showed deceased to have been fully dressed. A brass can dlestick (produced) was lying between the left arm and the body, the top of the candlestick inclining a little towards the body. The clothes were wholly burnt off both arms, and partly off the upper portion of the body. The legs werenot all burnt. There ap peared to be the ashes of some covering, as a vest, lying over the fore part of the face, so that the up- per part only could be distinctly seen. A bonnet which the deceased had on was partly burnt away. The right arm was elevated by the side of the body, with the elbow restin gon the floor. The fingers were partly burnt off, and the remainder of the hand was charred. The left hand, which lay out from the body, was also a good deal burnt, but not so much as the right. Some ashes from the cloth ing lay between the left arm and the body. The body did not appear to b e a t a ll e l evated from t h e floor. I did not perceive any rings or jewelry any where about. The fire was out, but there was a strong smell of burning still in the room. In the grate I saw some peat and some paper, apparently la id ready for li g hti ng, b ut wh i c h h a d not b ee n lighted. There was no car p e t on t h e fl o or ; a table stood in the cent re o f th e room ; th e fender and fire-irons stood on the south side of the room, away from the fireplace ; there was no coal in the grate. I locked up the room, until it was visited by the coroner's jury, between 6 and 7 o'clock the same evening. I accompanied the jury to the house, and unlocked th e d oor f or them. The body was then in the same state as when I left it in the morning. I saw the body moved by one of the jurymen, Mr, Hibbins. He took hold of it with the tongs, and raised it partly upon the left side, to search for the pocket. I then saw that the floor was burnt a n d covered with ashes. Mr. Holkings, another jury man, took hold of the fingers of the right hand, in PRICE 4 D . STAMPED. si) search of a ring, and the ends crumbled off. From this examination by the jury the burnt clothes were a good deal disturbed and swept off. They swept off that which lay across the face. The face ap peared to be swollen, and very brown, as if it had been a good deal smoked. Mr. Mark Johnson, surgeon, of Stamford, said, — I knew the late Miss Pulley. On Monday, the 2Gth of March, I made a post mortem examination of her body, assisted by Mr. Reward. Previous to doing so I inspected the room where she was found dead. Sergeant Harrison pointed out the position in which the deceased was found. I saw a bole in the ilaor,about six inches in circumference. The floor was of oak. The hole was produced by the board having -b een b urn t th rough. The burn ing had extended to and charred the beam on which the board lay. Mr. Pollard proved that the hole was in the floor when the body was removed. The body lay partly over the hole. On the day after the funeral witness cut the burnt board out, and found underneath some charred ash of the clothing of the deceased. Mr. Jackson then resumed his evidence as fol lows :—I was informed that the body had lain upon the burnt hole in the floor. The post-mor tem examination took place at the Ball and Swan Inn, in a coach house, to which the body as as re moved previous to being opened. The body was taken out of the coffin in my presence, and placed upon a table. I recognised the body as that of Elizabeth Pulley, whom I knew very well. The body appeared as if parts of it had been burnt to a cinder. I removedthe burnt clothes. Both sides of the chest, particularly the left; and the arms were completely burnt to a cinder. The right hand was similarly burnt, no vestige of muscle being left. Part of the metacarpal bones of the hand were burnt and broken off. The left arm below the elbow was not so much burnt ; above ,the—eilaow, -it --wee charred much the same as the right. The left hand was very firmly clinched. There was blood on the back of the head and shoulders, and it had spread round the back. I thought the blood bad proceeded from the left ear and from the nose and mouth. I did not find any wound on the bead. The linen was stained with blood, which I thought came from the mouth and ear. The face was singed over and scorched, but not so much as the other parts named. The eyes were suffused with blood, and.were also burnt; the eyebrows were burnt, and the tongue was swollen as if about to protrude from the mouth, and there was a good deal of bloody saliva. There was an opening on the ex ternal surface of the body, between the ribs on the left side, which communicated with the chest. The hole seemed to have been caused by burn ing. I could probe the chest through this opening. The lungs were very much go ..ged with blood, and in a highly congested state. The heart was some what small and somewhat fat, and its cavities were empty. The lungs cut fleshy, and full of blood. ? They were by no mucus in a natural state. I have no doubt the deceased was knocked down, strangled, and then burnt to a cinder. I think there might be some little life remaining when the body was burnt, but of this I cannot be sure. There was a blister on the top of the chest, which would rather lead to the supposition that vitality remained in some degree after the strangulation. Blood never flows from a burn only. Mr. Heward, a surgeon, minutely described the appearances which the body presented, and gave his opinion that the fire had acted on it before death. The prisoner was then remanded till Wed nesday week. 21IE NAVY. The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Ad miralty, held a levee at the Admiralty, at which the following officers attended :—Admirals Lord Wm. Russell and M'Hardy; Captains J. Adams, C. P. Hamilton, J. Hudson, W. 11. Hall, G. Haworth, Hon. R. Moreton, W. C. Chamberlain, A. Heseltine, and Boyd ; Commanders J. IV. Dor ville, H. B. Wratislaw, N. B. Bedingfield, H. C. Glynn, W. Greet, IV. Swinburne, C. Bromley, H. Crease, C. J. Balfour, A. M. S. Lyons, and IV. Hooton ; Lieuts. E. G. F. Knowles, C. 0. H. P. St. John, G. Marriott, and A. M. Noad and Dr. J. K. Dunn. The guns of the screw steamship Conqueror, at Plymouth, have been transported forward, by which arrangement it is hoped that tke leak aft may be stopped, without placing her in dock. The crew of the sailing sloop Arachne, 18, at Plymouth, were paid off on Wednesday. It is reported at Plymouth that the Albion, 90, is to be converted into a screw. The Vulture, 6, paddle, Capt. George Parker, ar rived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from Gib raltar, whence she sailed on the 21st inst., at 10 p.m. She has brought home several military and naval officers as passengers from Gibraltar, among whom are Mr. Cartwright, late paymaster of her Majesty's surveying vessel Tartarus ; Mr. Bell, late chief engineer of her Majesty's steamer St. Jean D'Acre ; three military officers on private leave; also 110 naval supernumeraries and invalids from Malta and Gibraltar, including the crew of the Tartarus, recently paid off at Malta, and a small number of military invalids, &c., from Gib raltar. The news brought home by the Vulture has been anticipated by the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's mail steamer Delta, at Southampton, which vessel left the Rock on the morning succeeding the departure of the Vulture. The supernumeraries and invalids were conveyed into harbour by steam-tug soon after the vessel arrived, and signal made from the flag ship to prepare to take out powder and shell. It was consequently expected the Vulture would go into Portsmouth harbour, to strip and pay off, but no positive orders on this point had been received. She brings home a small mail bag from her Majes ty's ship Agamemnon, and has experienced fine weather during her passage home. The Victory, 104, flagship of the Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, Admiral H. W. Bruce, toge ther with the other ships in Portsmouth harbour, have sent up their topmasts, &c., for the summer. The Nautilus and Sealark exercising brigs, at Portsmouth, have bent sails, in readiness to go out of harbour and commence the ir summer cruising. Tide indicators are being erected at different points in Portsmouth dockyard, which will be set each day, announcing the time of high-water. The Supply, screw store vessel, Master-Com mander Balliston, has sailed from Spithead for Woolwich. The chartered East India troopship Marlborough arrived at Gravesend yesterday, from Calcutta, with 215 troops on board, belonging to most of the cavalry rh passage, the and during and infantry regiments serving in Indi a , th e w h o l e number consisting of men who have com pl e t e d t h e term of service for which they enlisted, an d are sent assoccurred on the e dug passage. home to receive their discharge.

The men will thus have the opportunity given them of r e -enlisting, but should they d ec li ne to do so, they will receive their discharge at their depots. The danger signal (a blue and white triangular flag), which it has been the custom hitherto to hoist from the staff of the semaphore in Portsmouth dockyard when blowing heavily, as a signal forbid ding all communication by boats between her Majesty's ships at Spithead and the shore, with a view to prevent accidents and a consequent loss of life, is ordered, for the future, to be changed for a square flag of a more marked and distinctive cha racter, it having been urged that, with th e w i n d blowing from a certain quarter, together with the shape of the flag and its colour, it co u ld not be plainly made out from ships at anchor at Spithead, and was not seen on the occasion of the recent un fortunate accident to the boat of her Majesty's ship Firebrand. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieutenant St. Vincent Lake, to the Excellent; Lieut. John A. Vanrenen, additional, to the Forte, for disposal at the Cape of Good Hope s t a ti o n ; Dr. D. G. Miller, staff surgeon, to the Orion ; Jas. S.

RISE IN TILE RATE OF hrscoUNT. htt m ‘ahvv u eee c e h nbet The measure is too unimportant to give rise to argu ment to show its needlessness. At ordinary periods e s t r , e nb to oe c ok h fs a aa r ng severede t t h h e e highest rate they can obtain. But the interval be payment of the dividends has always been consi dered exceptional,. unless when prompt measures drain of bullion. The reason is, that the Bank; as banker to the Government, then accumulates in its hands the revenue payments made by the people at large, and that it has not been deemed fair to take advantage of the scarcity thus created by charging an extra price for letting the commercial world have the use of their money back again. Ott the present occasion not only is there no drain of bul t m lion going on, but the amount held is nearly half a Bankehne d iscussi o n, rs rehuguletit shoulde! dg u t for i t of i hb u tee l t et a e r d naedh e x l s fsi a character is an million in excess of the total on the 31st January, when 4 percent. was adopted as a sufficient rate, while the reserve of unemployed _notes is rtEltrty two millions higher. Even as compared with this reserve in December, just before thtkpayment of the last dividends, and when the rate of 4tscennt was 2i per cent., the falling offAptily 4,,,V25,31%, It is i mpossible not fo feel that to wake a ebarige within 12 days of the April dividends, and to dis turb the public mind for the sake of a half per cent., is, under such circumstances, a questionable proceeding. It cannot be supported, either by the plea that the Bank have a right to charge as much as they can get, or on the ground. ' that it is necessary as an act of prudence, be cause, while money is locked up for revenue, they could as easily get 5 per cent. as 41, and should therefore demand that sum, if they are to demand as much as possible, while as a measure against commercial inflation, or political danger, a rise of half per cent, when the rate is already at 4 per cent. must be wholly inadequate. If the Bank were to adopt the sound principle of abstaining from any formal announcement of a minimum rate, and to guide themselves solely by the market froni day to day, a slight movement like the present might be made at a time without creating disturbance, but their present practice leads to a great stir through out the country and to speculative variations in the prices of all descriptions of securities, and therefore renders it necessary that a change should never be adopted unless the grounds for it are perfectly plain and such as any one might have traced with out difficulty by observing the Gazett6 returns. It is believed that these were the views of a very large minority in the Court to-day and the debate was therefore a protracted one. At the same time, it is satisfactory to understand that although the public, on the announcement being made, naturally looked upon the measure as a probable precaution against political contingencies, especially as there are no recognisable commercial dangers to guard against, it: was not in reality prompted by any feeling in that respect. —TY/nes' City Article.
