Constructed for "workhouses," they are as little adapted to the requirements of a large hospital as can well be imagined, yet any one who walks down the long rows of narrow beds, with the scanty appliances for comfort, and sees the pinched anxious faces watching eagerly the rough care less pauper nurse, may well question whether any hos pitalcould present more mournful sights. The vitiated atmosphere of the St. Pancras workhouse was due, it was said, to unavoidable overcrowding, as the officials were bound to take in all sick paupers who applied. Yet this is the very parish in which the erection of a large and airy infirmary has been so fiercely opposed. Even on the low ground of economy, it were wiser for the guardians to give the sick man every chance of recovery and independence instead of being burdened for years with the maintenance of his children, but surely the richest nation in the world can afford to give its sick poor at least the care, the accommodation, and the kindness which it gives to its criminals and convicts. THOUGH the name of the LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL takes precedence in all educational minutes and reports, it is upon the VICE-PRESIDENT that the labour of the Education Department really falls. Mr. LOWE, whilst Vice-President under Earl GRANVILLE, was the author of the famous Revised Code which created such consterna tion amongst schoolmasters ; Mr. BRUCE is chiefly responsible for the changes introduced under his administration; and Mr. FORSTER is now universally regarded as the exponent of Ministerial views on the great question which is now coming forward so prominently. At present it is particu larly fortunate that the PRESIDENT is only the " bogus," and the VICE-PRESIDENT the real, Minister of Education. The capacity of Earl DE GREY and RIPON for accomplishing a decisive change in the most important department of our social system has yet to be proven ; of Mr. FORSTER'S competence there can be no doubt whatever. Without being too precipitate, he is fully alive to the necessity for trenchant reforms. He is more likely to face exten sive changes, when necessary, than Mr. BRUCE would be ; and though not more able than Mr. LowE, he is free from the doctrine which seems to have inspired the Revised Code—that to save expense is the sole function of the Government. It is especially to be deplored at this juncture that Mr. FORSTER has not a seat in the Cabinet. Of course it was not to be expected that the able speech of the VICE-PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL at Liverpool would foreshadow anything ; but Mr. FORSTER threw out—or rather hinted at—a sugges tion of very great importance. Opposite thinkers on the educational question are now settling down into two parties. There is the class which desires to extend only the present denominational system, and to preserve religious teaching under any circumstances; there is another class which seeks to establish com pulsory education, and to supplement, if not sup plant, the present schools by sectarian teaching sup ported by rates. Between these two parties a battle is looming in the distance—a struggle in which, there is too much reason to fear, the interests of dogma may receive much more attention than the interests of the many thousands of British subjects whom no intellectual light has yet reached. " Education is nothing without religion " say the one party; " a national, free, unsectarian, and compulsory education for the people " is the cry of the other. Mr. FORSTER is evidently in doubt whether it would not be possible to combine the two systems : to leave the denominational schools for those who prefer them, and to provide free and unsectarian teaching for the masses of the population whom the voluntary system clearly fails to reach. The one great difficulty in the way of such a solution is that it concedes pretty nearly all that the one party strive to gain, and the other to avoid. The Birming ham League do not wish to abolish the denomina tional schools, but only to add the "free and compulsory " establishinents, and therefore Mr. FORSTER'S hint, in its bare form, is likely to suit them; the National Union declare that free education would drive the denominational system out of the field, and therefore Mr. FORSTER'S suggestion is scarcely calcu lated to meet all their scruples. But the necessity for conciliation is so great that mutual concession of some kind appears to be the only basis on which this difficulty can be settled. It would be in the highest degree unjust to deprive the religious denominations of the fruit of their long and arduous labours in the any system with w c a h u i s c e h o t f h r d s u c c education n b o y t s c e o t . t .e i n x g i s t . 0 p But it would be equally unjust to the poor to leave things as they are. Mr. FORSTER'S views of education in its wider sense are a grateful relief to the peddling, politicianshand-to mouth are in professional ands of a nation. m t h o e ut h habit policyof staving ving which off the The VICE-PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL is not disposed to only give what he cannot help giving. He seeks to establish a system which is in some degree in advance of his age. He hopes the time may come when there will be a com plete course of instruction, higher an d l ower , o p e n to all who may deserve it. For everyone, rich or poor, there may be, first, the primary school, then the advanced school, and then tho university. To achieve this the great centres of learning must be made national and avail able for poor as well as rich. The endowments of , b b e ut for those who have applied, not for the whobtheenefisetcoonfdatryhosscehools must av e h not. Mr. FORSTER would attach exhibitions out of endowment funds to primary schools, so that the most deserving of the poor children might have a perfectly free education in higher establishments; and would so popularise the universities that the learning begun in the free national school by the humblest sub ject might be finished at Oxford or Cam bridge. Between the conception and realisation of such a plan there is a wide interval. But we are progressing. A very few years ago a man with such views would have been rusticating on the cross benches. COSTS OF ELECTION PETITIONS. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Friday, Mr. Giffard, Q.C., moved for a rule to shew cause why the taxation of costs by the Master should not be reviewed on the following petitions :—Southampton: ex parte Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C., Recorder of London; Tamworth, ex parte Sir It. Peel; and Penrhyn, ex parte R. N. Fowler and Eastwick, Fags. The ground of application was the refusal of the Master to allow the preliminary and other expenses in the petitions in question, the learned counsel especially contending that the principle adopted by the Master of only allowing counsel 100 guineas as a maxi mum sum for jniefs was contrary to the statute recently passed to enable the clients of successful attornies to obtain the full costs. Their lordships granted the rule in each case, the Lord Chief Justice observing that it was a matter for consideration, and requesting the applicant to give notice to the Master when the case should be agreed upon between the counsel on both sides to be argued. THE PROSECUTION OF BANK DIRECTORS. The investigation into the charges against Mr. Charles Mozeley and Mr. Lewin Earned Mozeley, formerly directors of Barned's Banking Company (Limited), now in course of liquidation, of issuing a false proscectus, and defrauding the public to the extent of two millions sterling, was resumed at the Justice Room of the Mansion House ou Friday, before Alderman J. C. Lawrence, the late Lord Mayor. The case excited a good deal of interest. It will be re membered that the inquiry was opened on Thursday last week, but no evidence was offered at that stage, as Mr. Charles Mozeley, one of the defendants, was unable to ap pear, the explanation given by his counsel being that he had just arrived from the Continent, and was suffer• ing from lumbago. The firm of Isaac Earned and Co., bankers, was formed in 1609, and it was admitted that the business was highly remunerative for many years, but latterly large loans were sustained, and in July, 1865, the business was sold to a limited company by the defendants, who were the partners of the firm, and who also became the managing directors of the limited com pany. The purchase money was fixed at £160,000, and in the prospectus that was issued reference was made to " the large and increasing business" that bad been done, and an opinion was expressed that, "considering the profits shewn by Messrs. I. Barnard and Co. to have been realised," the sum of £160,000 was a very moderate pay- ment. The limited company was accordingly formed, but in nine months afterwards it stopped payment, and many of the shareholders were ruined. Mr. George Lewis, instructed by Mr. Joel Emanuel, again conducted the prosecution; Mr. Serjeant Parry, with whom was Mr. Poland, appeared for the defence. Both defendants having surrendered, the following evi dence was adduced : Mr. Richard Spyer, a - clerk in the office of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies, produced the articles and memorandum of association of Barncd's Banking Company (limited). It was registered on the 27th June, 1865, and the object stated was the purchase of the business of Isaac Barnard, and C)., bankers, bill brokers, and general agents, Liverpool. The capital was .£2,000,000, divided into 40,000 shares of £5O each. Among the subscribers were Mr. George A. Priscott, the banker, Mr. Beecroft, M.P., and Mr. Rickson, of Cannon-street. Upon the petition of the Governor and company of the Bank of England the company was ordered to be wound up on the Bth of May. 1860. Mr. Francis Lcvien, secretary of the committee of the .stock Exchange, produced a statement shewing that the number of shares applied for by tho public was 50,604, and the number allotted unconditionally to the public 40,000. A settlement on the Stock Exchange was asked for and granted. Mr. Samuel Michael Emmanuel said he was a private gentleman, residing at Cumberland-place, West Park, Portsmouth. lie saw a copy of the prospectus of Barned's Bank, and applied for 100 shares. Only seventy-five were allotted to him. When he applied for the shares he had no knowledge of the affairs of the bank, except what appeared hi the prospectus, and he believed the truth of representa tions therein contained. Mr. Charles Fitch, accountant, Walbrook, said he was the cfficial liquidator of the Contract Corporation Com 'Any (Limited), which is being wound up in the Chambers of the Master of the Rolls. The Contract Corporation was a holder of shares in Barned's Banking Comrany (Limited). Mr. Kemp said he had not the list of shareholders of Barned's Bank. lie continued to say that there had been a call of £4O per share on the Contract Corporation on 380 shares. There had been a claim for a further sum of £364,000 on the Contract Corporation. Witness was directed by the Master of the Rolls to make an investigation into the affairs of Barned's Bank, and witness disputed his liability. From the report male by his clerks he found that the debt of Mr. C. Wilson to Earned's Bank in August, IS6'5, was £391,070, of which £7 , 1,000 was transferred as an asset to the limited company, the remainder, 1317,000, being written off. There was a further liability on 1111 s. At the stoppage, his debt was £279,000. The firm of Gillespie, Churchill, and Co. owed the bank El 65,832, which was transferred as an asset to the limited company, and at the failure of the company the debt was increased to £253,000. The firm of James Baines and Co. owed at the transfer £338,000, and at the stoppage £413,000. H. Lafone owed at the transfer £208,000, of which £35,000 was subsequently written off, and at the time of the failure he owed £187,000. The inquiry was then again adjourned, the defendants being admitted to bail in the same amounts as before, viz., themselves in £2,000 each, and one surety in the like amount.

SOME very painful cases have lately been investi gated by the coroner for Middlesex, which should direct public attention to a much-needed social reform. The treatment of our sick poor in the parish infirmaries reflects little credit either on our national humanity or our administrative capacity. There are plenty of funds at. command, as the overburdened ratepayers can testify, and there is certainly no wish among the several classes of the community that those who are unfortunate enough to depend on public charity in case of illness should be harshly treated or suffer from neglect. When some excep tionally painful cases came before the public a few years since, there was a general outcry, and the course of the investigations that were held was followed with the deepest interest. Whatever may be thought of the able-bodied pauper whose own in temperance or improvidence has brought him to the workhouse gates, no blame can attach to the sufferer whose earnings in health have not enabled him to lay by sufficient to provide for a tedious illness. Those earnings are stopped while his expenses are increased, and the infirmary offers his only hope of obtaining that rest, nourishment, and medicine which give him a chance of life. So, at least, it seems in theory; but the practice is too often very different. Then there is the large class of chronic and hopeless cases for which our Hospitals for Incurables are unhappily totally inade quate to provide. It is not, perhaps, generally known that one person in every twelve dies in a workhouse ; so that the treatment of the sick poor is a matter of very wide interest. By far the larger number of these deaths arise from lingering diseases, especially from paralysis and consumption, which condemn the weary sufferer to pass weeks, perhaps months, in the sick ward of the infirmary, under the tender care of unpaid, untrained, and indifferent pauper nurses. What those wards are in we may learn from the evidence given before Dr. LANKESTER respecting the death of MICHAEL MURPHY, who recently died in St. Pancras Workhouse Infirmary. The man was admitted to the House in the last stage of consumption, and expired the next day, his death, according to the verdict, "being accelerated by the unwholesome atmosphere of the ward in which he was placed." Mr. SAMUEL SOLLY, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, and senior surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospi tal, visited the infirmary on the evening of the 4th. His own words will best convey his impressions : " I have been over and through the foulest of wards in hospitals and other institutions, but I never, in the whole course of my professional expe rience, entered so foul a place. I never experienced such a stench in all my life arising from foul atmo sphere." Remembering what the construction of our old infirmaries is, we need scarcely be surprised at this result when we find that 37 persons slept in a ward which is only 74 feet long, 21 feet wide, and 12 feet high, giving about 520 cubic feet of . air to each patient, or little more than half the amount required by the Poor-law Board. At the new St. Thomas's Hospital the allowance is 1,800 feet to each patient. It is not wonderful, under these circumstances, that MICHAEL MURPHY, depressed by long-continued sickness, and begrudged 'even wholesome air, very speedily suc cumbed. But MICHAEL MURPHY is by no means the only victim to a system which condemns sick persons to sleep on floors in an atmosphere which might well be fatal to the healthy. Seven other deaths are attributed to the same cause. There seems to be but one opinion as to the state of the wards. " The ventilation most defective," " the some cases "atmosphere frightfully foul," "the wards very close," "the atmosphere vitiated," "not one of the wards fit for patients to be in," such are the accounts given, not by inexperienced visitors, but by physicians and surgeons. The medical evidence was in every case unanimous. The patients died from apoplexy, or from congestion of the brain, produced by foul air which their diseased -lungs were unable to bear. One poor man had been sent in by a guar dian out of pity for his evident illness. The Coroner remarked that no doubt he meant kindly, but the man would have been better outside—an opinion in which most persons will coincide. Dr. ELus, the medical officer of the infirmary, said he had repeatedly complained of the overcrowded state of the infirmary, and had reported that 95 persons had to lie on the floor ; but the only change made was that 27 new beds were ordered. To improve the comforts of these wards, in which " there is very little room between the beds," a troop of rats run about and over the sick people, and the convalescents occasionally enjoy the excitement of a rat hunt, one man killing 13. Such visitors, no doubt, contribute to the quiet of body and mind usually considered indis pensable to the recovery of invalids, in the opinion of the guardians of St. Pancras. The Poor-law Board has not been free from blame in the matter if, as was stated at the inquest, they certified for 205 patients in the infirmary when it was manifestly incapable of accommodating half that number. In England we usually wait for some catastrophe before we make up our minds to carry out our reforms in earnest, and so the deaths of these eight victims may serve to save the lives of a good many others. There are a host of evils in our present workhouse system which modern legislation has not yet touched, the two greatest being the employment of pauper nurses for the sick (only paid by extra rations and beer) and the want of classification among the inmates. There is scope enough for our social reformers within their gloomy walls, but these ques tions, pressing as they are, can afford to wait. Unless something is very speedily done in this matter of overcrowding, however, we shall have during the winter months a good many more such inquests. The evil is not confined to the metropolis, for workhouses exist all over the country with the MUSICAL NRWS• (From the musical Standard) The grand theatre o f Al e xandria has opened with a performance of Meye r b ee r's " Africaine."

The Cork Reporter calls attention to the speeches deli lered at the meeting at Kilclooney Wood, Michelstown, which (it says) did not oven pretend to be for the purpose of promoting an amnesty; "it was held in honour of an unhappy man, who had committed the greatest political crime of embarking in a hopeless and unjusti fiable rebellion." One of the speakers, Mr. Johnson, is reported to have observed :—" If we are true to the instincts placed in us by a good God, we will soon be a nation once again—(enthusiastic applause)—not a nation as of old, leaning on a broken reed for support—not a nation with a king paying homage to a mightier monarch —but a nation, as Emmet saw in his dream—[A voice : ' A real Republic:]—(great cheering)—worthy of writing his epitaph. Yes, my friends, this country as a nation is a glorious aspiration, and to Irishmen doubly dear. ' Plunder and persecution, ruin and rapine,' and famine such as Pharaoh dreamed of, overtook our land, and still we burn to be a nation. (Cheers.) The gibbet, the knife, the convict ship, all have succumbed We have defied gold and withstood cold steel, and for what ?—that Ireland might be a queen among the nations. And are we not worthy, yes, and equal to the task, with faith and union, and terrible intent ? (Loud Cheers.)" The Rev. W. Fitzgerald, who filled the chair, is reported in the Cork papers to have spoken thus :—" Since the last time he had the plea sure of addressing a number of people in that wood, he need not tell the changes that had taken place. They had seen the Irish nation kneeling to England, and they had seen her prayers spurned, and herself rejected. (Groans.) Outcries had been made against them that they had said too much—that they had been intemperate in their language. The people from whom such charges came were of the very class who held the chains round the neck of the nation. (Hear.) [A voice : 'Groans for Gladstone.' (Groans).] The Chairman: 'Yes, groan him; he is fit for nothing else' (Renewed groaning.) Gladstone deserved no favour, because, while he worked heaven and earth for the relief of the Neapolitan prisoners, he had not the con sistency or generosity to yield to the wishes of the Irish people. (Hear, hear.) Now, from the first of these meetings that had be en held he (the chairman) had no hope that the men would or could be released by Mr. Gladstone. They had come there that day on a pilgrimage. (Hear, hear.) When they came to that sacred grove it was to do reve rence and honour to the spot consecrated by the life blood of the immortal martyr, Crowley. (Great cheering.) If it were at all necessary, he would fling back with the greatest pleasure the imputation on the character of these men whom Peter Crowley represented—that they were the opponents of religion and social order. [A voice : 'lt is false'] It was a bitter, cruel slander. Peter Crowley stood in that wood bearing on his breast a medal and crucifix when he stood the fire of British soldiers. Amin miracle was then wrought. The image of the Redeemer on the cross was defaced, and the fatal bullet struck on the medal. By that interposition of Providence the lifo, of Peter O'Neil Crowley was pre served until he received the last sacraments of his Church. Was such a man on whom the Almighty wrought ft infra le to be held up and taunted as an opponent of religion ? (Cries of ' No, no') The best vindication of Peter Crowley and the cause he fell for would be his ele vation to eternal fame, while his slanderers would remain ,wling in obscurity." (Cheers.) The necessity of the Factories Act was strongly exemplified in a case which came before the Liverpool magis trates on Thursday. Messrs. It. and A. Brown, brass founders, were summoned on four informations, charged with violations of tho act; and it was stated by the in spector that two boys employed at the foundry had worked for 1G hours continuously, while another had worked for 36 hours without cessation. Penalties amount ing tQ UDwar l ds of £1.3 were 41:Leta MR GRENVILLE MURRAY AND THE FOREIGN OFFICE. The case of "Grenville Murray v. the Earl of Clarendon and James Murray " came before the Master of the Rolls on Friday on demurrer. It is a suit instituted by Mr. Gren ville Murray (whose name was recently very prominent as complainant for assault against Lord Carrington, and defendant to a charge of perjury) against the Earl of Clarendon, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Mr. James Murray, Under Secretary of the same department, to recover remuneration alleged to be due to the plaintiff for services in her Majesty's diplomatic service. Mr. Southgate, Q.C., and Mr. Gill were for the plaintiff ; Sir Roundell Palmer, Q.C., and Mr.Wickens for the defendants. The bill filed by the plaintiff was of unusual length, and gave an account of the plaintiff's experiences in the diplomatic service since the year 1841, when he was first employed by Lord Palmerston. It stated that between that date and 1851 he was sent at his own cost on special service to Algiers, Barbary, Spain, and Germany. During this time he became acquainted with abuses in the service, one of these being a system of agencies which was still practised, whereby the defendant James Murray (who was not related to the plaintiff) and John Bidwell, and others received the salaries of the officers and retained them at their bankers for an indefinite period. These persons had great influence with the Secretary of State, and these sala ries were allowed to accumulate in the hands of the defendant, promotion being thus retarded. In 1852 the plaintiff was appointed paid attachd to Vienna. At this time an article appeared in the newspapers exposing the abuse of the system of agencies ; and this being attributed to him, he had been subjected to persecutions by the defendant Murray and others ever since. He was refused the emoluments of his appointment, and transferred to the Court of Hanover, at a loss of £2,000. He was afterwards appointed paid attaché at Constantinople, but was subsequently degraded from that post, and in 1853 sent to Lesbos as Vice-Consul in Mytelene. In 1854 obtaining leave of absence he returned to Constantinople, and applied to be reimbursed his expenses of £5OO. This had always been refused and he was sent backwards and forwards between Constantinople and London on pre text of public service. He was thus put to an expense of £l5O, properly chargeable to the Foreign Office ; but he had never been repaid. At length he was offered the post of Vice-Consul at an unhealthy place in Africa; and declining this, was appointed in January 1857 paid attaché to the Embassy in Persia. But at this time diplomatic relations had been suspended, and he was ordered to join the British mission wherever he could find it. Following it through the perils of war, at great risk and expense, he succeeded in joining it at Bagdad. His charges and expenses amounted to £650. On the 24th July, 1858, he received the appointment of Consul-General for the Russian ports and the Sea of Azof, to reside at Odessa. Before leaving England he received £250 on account of the sum of £650. the balance being still due. In October, 1858, James Murray was made permanent Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and in this capacity exercised great power. He made a colourable and fictitious sale of his business of agent to Mr. Bidwell. The plaintiff was not a customer of that agency, which ho considered an abuse, thereby incurring the dislike of James Murray, who, having control of the financial affairs, subjected him to great loss. Ey his influence the emoluments of Consul-General were reduced from £1,350 to £1,200, instead of which this ought to be raised to 4000 ; and the plaintiff claimed the deficit. The defendant, James Murray, com menced from that time a system of frivolous accusations, against the plaintiff, putting him to great expense in answering them, and subjecting him to other annoyances. In November 1860, obtaining leave cf absence, he left Mr. James Perkins to act in his absence. The defendant sought to have Mr. George Alexander Stephens appointed, but failing in that, took advantage of tho plaintiff's absence from Odessa to conspire with others to ruin him. Plaintiff was detained in England answering false charges, and his papers were seized at Odessa. On his return he received a despatch from Lord Stanley (then Foreign Secretary), accusing him of irregularities in connection with the Consular Marriage Act. Other false charges were brought against him respecting fees, the granting of passports, and certificates, and other matters ; and, his papers having been taken away, he was at a loss how to answer. All these charges, ho alleged, were the result of the conspiracy; and, in April, 1867, a Mr. Wilkins was ap pointed to make a local inquiry into the matter. Plaintiff considered Mr. Wilkins incompetent to make such an in quiry, and at its close he entered into correspondence with Lord Stanley with a view of bringing the affair to a conclusion. It was not, however, until February, 1868, that he received a copy of what purported to be Mr. Wilkins' report, but which he alleged to be a tissue of falsehoods, artfully mingled with truth, and prefaced by James Murray. The' result was that in May, 1868, the plaintiff was deprived of his post, his demand for another inquiry being refused. He denied the right of the Secretary of State to cancel his commis sion in this manner; and in December last, on the acces sion to office of the present Ministry, submitted his case to Lord Clarendon. His lordship replying that he saw no ground for altering his predecessor's decision, the plaintiff applied for his pension. It was then pointed out to him that he could receive no pension unless he obtained a certificate from the Foreign Secretary, testifying that ho had performed his duties satisfactorily, and such certifi cate was refused him. By reason of these proceedings, plaintiff said he was reduced to unmerited poverty and distress, having expended his own fortune in the service of the State, and having been unjustly dismissed after twenty-seven years' service, upon frivolous charges, which had not been proved. He urged that the Foreign Office received from the Treasury £OOO,OOO a year as a trust fund for its officers, and out of this fund the plaintiff ought to havo been paid the sums he now claimed. These sums were owing to him either by the defendant Lord Cla rendon or the defendant John Murray; but the latter having control of the said fund, had retained the money due to the plaintiff for his own use. He, therefore, prayed for a declaration that he had not been properly removed from his office, and that he was still entitled to its emo luments. He further asked that his claims might be paid under a decree of the court, and that, if necessary, an inquiry should be made into the accounts of the Foreign Office since James Murray was made superintendent of the financial business. Sir Roundell Palmer, in commenting on the paragraphs of the bill of complaint, said it seemed to have been partly used as a peculiar method of setting the plaintiff's services and wrongs before some portion of the public; while it was secondly, an appeal against her Majesty's executive Govern ment to his lordship, and treated certain heads of depart ments representing her Majesty as trustees accountable to that court. In order to prove a trust to be administered by the court, the original of that trust must be shewn. But the whole business of the Treasury was under the control of Parliament, and the idea that one could bring into that :court public accounts and the administration of public funds by allegations of this descrip tion was most preposterous. If the plaintiff had claims against the Crown, the Petition of Right was his legal remedy. Mr. Southgate argued on the other side, that this was not a case of suing the Crown, and quoted cases in support of this mode of proceeding. Mr. Gill was heard on the same side, The Master of the Rolls said that he was of opinion that the demurrer must be allowed. It would not do for o person to say that A. B. had got a friend in trust and must accordingly come under the jurisdiction of the court, unless there were facts to shew that the re lations of the plaintiff to the trust were such as to give the court jurisdiction. It mighi be that this was an extremely hard case ; that the Foreign Office had dealt with great harshness in deprivin:_ , the plaintiff of his situation, his allowance, and his retir ing pension ; but that was not a matter of which this court could take cognisance. The office of Consul did not appear to be a patent office, but to be held at the pleasur: of the sovereign as expressed by her Secretary of State, and therefore he could not declare that the plaintiff had not been properly dismissed. As to his claim for reimbursement, it was not shown how his expenses had been incurred. The sum of £600,000 was paid for the general purposes of the department. Its distribution was left to the officers of that department, and there was nothing in the bill to connect Mr. Murray with that dis tribution. It was impossible for the court to examine the accounts of the Foreign Office for eleven years. The demurrer of the defendants was accordinglyallowed. The Western Mail makes the statement that a London assurance office last week declined to insure the produce of one cf the finest farms on Colonel Powell's estate in Cardiganshire, because the farm, which was once in the occupation of a Disscnter and a Radical, has lately passed into the hands of a Churchman and a Con servative: A NEW VELOCIPEDE. — Visitors to the Crystal.
