Everything has in the meantime been done to mitigate the rigour of his confinement, in proof of which we may state that we understand that ho was last night supplied with writing materials. Matters having now assumed this serious aspect, the police have of course not been idle since Dr. Pritchard's apprehension. At an early hour yesterday morning Super intendent M-Call, accompanied by Mr. Audley Thomson, proceeded to that gentleman's house in Sauchiehall street, in order to ascertain whether anything could be found throwing light on the death of Mrs. Pritchard. This was necessarily a work of some labour, and as it has not yet been finished, nothing has publicly transpired as to whether anything was found to justify the suspicions entertained ; but we have good reasons for believing that nothing of a criminating character has been found. We understand that the room in which Dr. Pritchard kept his medicine has been locked up by the police, and in order to prevent any tam pering with the contents of the house a detective has been stationed on the premises. The house is still occupied by two of the servants, and Dr. Pritchard has a family of five children. PRICE ,1 ( L STAMPED 5(1. GRATIS ! NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX."

Another step taken by the police to elucidate the real state of matters was to communicate with medical gentle men in Edinburgh, instructing them to make a post mor tem examination of the body of Mrs. Pritchard. For this purpoSe the services of Professor Maclaganand Dr. Little john, surgeon to the police establishment in that city, were retained. Professor Maclagan is especially competent for a case of this kind, and will no doubt receive valuable assistance from his colleague in the work, and it is scarcely necessary to add that their report is looked for with the deepest interest, as on it will depend the liberation or detention in custody of Dr. Pritchard.

Price One Penny Weekly. 4onthly farts 61 As may be seen from the foregoing statement, although suspicion may attach to Dr. Pritchard, as yet no charge could be based on the facts known. The position of medical men renders them liable, before all others, to suspicions of a similar nature, readily aroused in the public mind and not easily allayed, conviction of the utter baselessness of the suspicions being as difficult to inspire as it is difficult to ob tain certain conviction of guilt. The circumstances of the unfortunate double bereavement which has befallen Dr. Pritchard's family, although peculiar, have nothing in them so far as is known, which could implicate Dr. Pritchard; and the unblemished public character of that gentleman entitles him to be considered free from the least taint of guilt till conclusive evidence be brought against him. Since he settled in Glasgow, six years ago, he has, with a rapidity which of itself gives assurance of talent, gained a wide circle of patients, and by his activity in connection with public in stitutions—prominently amongst others the Glasgow Athenaeum, of which he was director—he has become widely known. Having travelled much since 1846, when he was licensed M.R.C.S., Eng., voyaging in the Pacific, Northern Polar Seas, to Egypt, and other countries border ing on the Mediterranean, he has added to medical learn ing experiences which have afforded him many interesting themes as a lecturer, in which capacity his name is familiar to the ears of the public. As an author of numerous medical tracts on cancer, gout, ecc., on the influences of vegetable medecines in diseases, and amongst others, several interesting papers about the Yorkshire watering place of Filey, where ho was located previous to coming to Glas gow, he has gained additional reputation.

An event of this nature of course gave rise to all sorts of rumours ; but it is scarcely necessary to state that no reliance can be placed on these. All that can be stated at present with any certainty in connection with this singular case is that Mrs. Pritchard had been in delicate health for some time, and that while in this state her mother, Mrs. Taylor, wife of Mr. Taylor, silk and lace merchant, Edinburgh, arrived in Glasgow for the purpose of rendering to her daughter those services which maternal affection can alone supply. While residing in the house of Dr. Pritchard she was taken suddenly unwell, and died about three weeks ago. The cause of death was, we believe, ascribed to apoplexy. grs. Taylor belonged to Edinburgh, where her husband had family burying-ground. Her remains were interred in the Grange Cemetery, one of those beautiful burial places which have sprung up in the precincts of that town of late years. When we mention that Mrs. Taylor was about 70 years of age, it will be seen that her death, oc curring in these circumstances, need not be looked upon with any feelings of suspicion. The daughter, however, speedily followed the aged mother—Mrs. Pritchard, who was about 40 years of age, having died on Saturday last Death in this case is alleged to have been caused by gastric fever; but, according to another statement, no such entry was made in the registration certificate. The usual ar rangements were made for the interment of Mrs. Pritchard by her husband; and with a natural feeling her remains were to be consigned to the family place of sepulture in Edinburgh. Suspicion seems to have arisen, but on whose part we have not yet definitely learned. The body was conveyed to Edinburgh on Monday, and Dr. Pritchard accompanied it, and.we understand that the funeral was to take place to-morrow. The police authorities were now on the alert, and while Dr. Pritchard was in Edinburgh, were making inquiries of different kinds. Their sus picions must have acquired greater strength, for while Dr. Pritchard was on his way to Glasgow by the last train from Edinburgh, wholly unconscious of what was in reserve for him, Superintendent M'Call, along with Sub-Inspector Audley Thomson, were in waiting at the ter minus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway here. The train reached its destination at 10.20; and Dr. Pritchard was in the act of stepping from it when he was arrested by Mr. WU', who informed him that he was to be de tained in custody to undergo an examination as tolhe sud den death of his wife. Dr. Pritchard, when apprehended, displayed all the surprise which we would expect to find in one who was innocent of all crime in the matter. The party walked to the Central Police-office, where the war rant for his apprehension was read over to Dr. Pritchard, who was then removed, not to one of the ordinary cells, but to an apartment adjoining the turnkeys' rooms, and which is of a more comfortable character than the usual places of confinement. Although he was remitted to the sheriff yesterday without being, as is customary, brought into court, he is still an inmate in the Central Police-buildings---4his being a departure from the usual GLASGOW, Wednesday Evening.—The investigation of this painful case continues to occupy the local authorities. This afternoon Dr. Pritchard was removed from the police office, where he. had been confined since his apprehension, and examined before Sheriff Sir A.. Alison as to the sud den death of his wife. The 'examination, as usual in such cases, was conducted in private, and at its close the pri soner was committed to prison pending the further inves tigation of fhe case. In the course of the day Mr. Super intendent M'Call, of the Glasgow police, obtained infor mation which led him to apprehend a girl named M‘Leod, who has resided in Dr. Pritchard's family during the last o years. It is alleged that an improper intimacy has for some time existed between this girl and the prisonsr, and she is said to have been heard boasting that if Mrs. Pritchard were to die it was not unlikely that she might occupy her place. The analysis of the stomach of the deceased lady is being proceedgil with in Edinburgh. As yet nothing definitive is known here as to the result. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S, THURSDAY. The majority of the subscribers being at Warwick, the attendance of members was very small, and the afternoon was only relieved from being a blank one by the outlay of a small sum on The Duke for the Derby, at 11 to 1, and the taker would afterwards have accepted a shorter price. On the other races there was no change in the quotations. WARWICK SPRING MEETING—THuRsDAy. The Steeplechase day never fails to attract the largest attendance, both as regards the general public and the more aristocratic element of Warwickshire and Leamington. The day was a trifle warmer, or, to speak more correctly the cold was not quite so bitter as on the two preceding days, and the ladies mustered strongly both in carriages and on the Stand. There was a very good field of 14 for the principal event, andthe appearance of the French crack L'African to meet the winner of the Liverpool Grand Na tional excited great interest, and gave rise•to some spirited betting. The former is a fine-shaped horse, but seemed to gallop rather stiffly, as if he had not quite got over his re cent accident, the marks of which were plainly visible. Alcibiade looked very well, and old Emblem excited the same admiration she did on Aintree. The race is fully de scribed below. Sufficient to say here, that L'Africain never appeared really formidable throughout, that. Lord Coven try's two were always well up, and that the Liverpool win ner, after lying off for most of the way, came in the last quarter of a mile, and proved himself a good horse, but not quite goad enough to beat Emblem, who won, amid great cheering, by three lengths. The old mare has added another trophy to her turf career, and her noble owner been compensated in some degree for his disappointment at Liverpool, Our return gives ample details of the remaining events, and the meeting, the early time of year taken into consi deration, must be considered a success. Shortly after the termination of the second race the stewards went into the objection against Hall Court, the winner of the Hunt Cup at last Warwick November Meet ing, and after hearing evidence,. give their deciE ion as follows . "The stewards have decided that Hall Court was dis qualified for the Hunt Cup at Warwick November Meet ing, 1864, on account of being wrongly described in the entry. The stewards are of opinion that it was quite unintentional. (Signed) " HAsTrNos. " STAmFoRD AND WARRINGTON. " B. J. ANGELL. "H. CovErrrnY."

At the second attempt they were despatched from the post in close company, Regenerator with a slight lead, having the favourite and Sister Mary as his immediate followers, Belgrave lying off.

Little Nell was the first away, and made play for a short distance, when she gave way to Eily O'Connor, who came on with a clear lead, the favourite lying second, and Em press third, with Importance and Nimrod close in their wake. As they proceeded along the meadows on the fa side, the leaders drew away and the tailing commenceo l the field being completely distributed as they came alml the bottom. On entering the straight Jessie Brown gra dually closed with Eily O'Connor, whom she headed at the distance, and won in a canter by four lengths ; a bad third, Nimrod obtaining the fourth place by a head from Bed kinor, Empress was sixth; Importance, Idle Boy, and Light Heart, followed by Sir William, Balder, Lady Douglas, and Portland, formed the leading lot immediately the flag was lowered, several lengths in the rear of whom came L'Africain ; Ibexand Emblem, close together, headed the rear division, which was whipped in by Alcibiade. In these positions they proceeded along the meadows on the far side, when Meanwood quitted his rearward position and joined the leaders, who came on in a compact body to the cut fence approaching the water, which Light Heart cleared in advance and came down to the brook some four lengths in advance of Portland, Meanwood, Sir William, and Lady Douglas, who cleared it abreast, close in whose roar came Lord Coventry's two side by side, attended by L'Africain, Ibex, and Rook the Gardener, the others lying up, the last of whom comprised Alcibiade, Old Squire, and Stan ton. Rising the hill Sir William ran up to the leader, the pair clearing the fence on the brow in capital style, and, as they entered the meadows they were fully half a dozen lengths ahead of Balder, close up with whom were seen Portland, Lady Douglas, Emblem, L'Africain, Ibex, and Meanwood in a body, the others gradually improving their positions. Approaching the Stand water jump a second time, Light Heart, Sir William, and Portland drew away and raced for the lead, the three being joined by Stanton, who, having run through his horses, closed up with the leaders, and cleared the water slightly in front, these being followed by Ibex, Rook the Gardener, and L'Africain; Al cibiade, Waterman, and Old Squire still retaining their unenviable positions in the rear. At the fence on the brow of the Lammas Land, Light Heart joined Stanton and cleared it abreast, Balder and Emblem being their imme diate attendants, with Portland, Rook the Gardener, and the Frenchman on their extreme right. Lady Douglas was here stopped, Capt. Tempest having broken his stirrup leathers, and wisely returned homo. On reaching the mile-post Light Heart gave way, and his place was taken by Emblem, who raced with Stanton for the lead, her stable companion lying third, followed by L'Africain, Sir William, Ibex, and the Old Squire, the latter as they en tered the Star close taking a clear lead, but dying away in a few strides after, Lord Coventry's mare was once again left with the command,which she retained into the straight, where Alcibiade, most patiently riden by Capt. Coventry, reached the front, but was never enabled to get upon terms with Emblem, who won easily by four lengths; three lengths between second and third, and two lengths the third and fourth, Stanton fifth, L'Africain sixth, close up with whom trotted in Sir William, Portland, Light Heart, and Rook the Gardener, in the order we have given them. Meanwood and Waterman walked in with the crowd some time after. Balder, who came to grief at the fence entering the Star, was not after, persevered with. Run in 9m. 355.

Sir Bobby jumped away with the running, followed by Ace of Hearts to the first fence, at which the latter fell and unhorsed his rider, and galloped into the town. This mishap left Strike in attendance upon the leader, the favourite going on third, with T. P. Cooke and Old Windsor bringing up the rear. The water jump was cleared cleverly by the lot, but on reaching the fence beyond the field was further decreased by T. P. Cooke refusing. Sir Bobby re tained his pride of place to within a half a mile from home, when Marble Hill, who had been gradually creeping up, headed him, and as they cleared the fence into the Star close he obtained a decided lead, which ho retained to the end, and won with hands down by eight lengths. The others were beaten off a long way. The Clarendon Hunters' Stakes of 5 sovs each, 12st 71b each. Four miles. 15 subs. Mr. T. Holford's Traveller, 12st 71b (Mr. T.

TIMES.—To those partisans of the Northern cause in this country who think that they act in the in terests of peace and international friendship by re presenting the conduct of the British Government as systematically unjust, the clear explanation which was made yesterday in the House of Lords by Lord Russell will, we hope, give a knowledge of the sub ject which will moderate their unpatriotic zeal. To the great mass of their countrymen it will carry the conviction that, at a time of great excitement and during a long series of most difficult controversies, the Queen's Government has had the prudence, and good fortune to avoid giving any just cause of offence to the United States. ' When we look back on the events of the last four years and reflect on the position of the two countries, united by race, language, and pursuits, but divided by a rivalry which sometimes warms into animosity, we may wonder as well as rejoice that the most unfriendly critics of the Government can find so little to com plain of, and should be so unable to substantiate even that little. The war in America was an event which would have appalled the most confident poli ticians if they could have foreseen it. Like many calamities of which people bear the reality with fortitude, though the anticipation would have filled them with terror, this war came upon the English people, paralyzing their chief industry and interrupt ing the most extensive commerce in the world. If in such a case the nation had in the first days of apprehension committed any act not strictly justified .by international usage, there would have been much excuse. Before it was seen that the productive power of the world would be able to make good so much of the losS inflicted on us by the invasion and blockade of the Southern States there was strong temptation for a neutral to abandon its neutrality. On this temptation the Confederate leaders noto riously relied. In such circumstances it is greatly to the credit of the British Government, and should be a cause of pride to the whole people, that not the smallest infringement of law and justice can be laid to the charge of this country. The accusations which were revived by Mr. Bright the other night have been answered over and over again by those who remembered the facts of each case, and it wanted only the official statements of the Foreign Secretary to complete their refutation. Lord Russell, while expressing a belief that the questions nowin controversy between this country and America will be satisfactorily set tled, and that the two nations will continue to live in peace, complained of those who made negotia tion more difficult by leading the Americans to be lieve that they have been ill-treated by us. Hap pily, even in America, the recognition of the Con federates as belligerents has almost ceased to be a grievance, as it has been recognised that the cha racter of belligerency was conferred on them, not by us, but by the Federals themselves, and that we merely took care of our own neutrality. Lord Russell gives a history of the Proclamation. The Washington Government had began hostilities and established a blockade. The Confederates were getting ships ready for sea, if they had not actually one or two afloat. The British Admiral had asked for instructions. Our merchantmen were liable to the search of both Federal and Confederate cruisers. No time was to be last, and the most eminent legal personages were consulted as to the course which should be taken. Lord Campbell was then Chan cellor, and his high authority was given in favour of the Proclamation. He declared that there was only one course—to regard the blockade on the part of the United States as the exercise of a belligerent right ; and as belligerent rights in the Federals im plied those rights in the Confederates, there was no alternative but to consider the two sections of the Republic as engaged in a war and to command the Queen's subjects to observe neutrality between them. This was all, in fact, that the Proclama tion did. It conferred no right on the Confede rates which they did not possess before, and only related to our own behaviour. Why this Proclama tion, which was really a domestic document, should have been shown to Mr. Adams and his advice taken on it, we cannot see. Unless the Government had been prepared to accept the early Federal doc trine, that the Confederate cruisers were pirates, it was impossible that any discussion with Mr. Adams could have been followed by a change of policy. The principle of the Proclamation was, in the opinion of the English lawers, perfectly clear, and the result of any deliberations with a foreign Minister must have been either nugatory or embarrassing. We have no desire to revive the affair of the Trent. The Government of the United States did this coun try justice by surrendering the two Envoys, and we should have been glad never to say another word on the subject • but when it is represented that the acts of this country were gratuitously offensive, and that the Northern Government and people were treated with insolence and injustice, it is due to truth and the honour of our Government to recur to facts, recent and notorious, but now conveniently forgot ten for the purpose of putting this country in the wrong. We need not speak of the reception given to Captain Wilkes on his return home, and to the official approval of his act by the Secretary of the Navy. But we may refer our readers to Lord Rus sell's speech last evening, that they may judge for themselves how temperately and courteously the disavowal of this wrong, so audaciously committed and so noisily praised, was asked for by the Queen's Government. The course then taken had the ap proval of a Cabinet made up of men of distin guished merit and very various orders of minds ; it commended itself to all parties in the country, and Lord Russell tells us that the late Prince Consort, in perhaps the last political business which he was destined to perform, gave advice as to the terms of the despatch which was sent to Lord Lyons. Any Englishman might be satisfied if his country had always been as blameless as in these two transactions. The heats of civil con flict across the ocean and of political animosity at home may lead men to vituperate the Govern ment which has had to deal with these matters, but the public, who recognise the- difficulties of the task and are thankful for the prudence which has enabled us to keep clear of American embarrass ments, will do justice to the statesmen by whom these affairs have been conducted. A more plausible charge is that of being indifferent to the fitting out of vessels to prey on American commerce. The captures by the Alabama may, in some degree, be referred to England, and the Government held re sponsible for not having prevented that vessel from quitting the Mersey. But even in this matter Lord Russell is able to show satisfactorily that no blame attaches to himself and his colleagues. The Ala bama did, indeed, put to sea and was armed with artillery from these shores, but this was without any connivance on the part of the Government, which subsequently took active measures to prevent the equipment and fitting out of the two celebrated rams. On the whole, we are prepared to say, and we believe that the great mass of the nation will join us in saying, that this country has, thro,ugh its Government, performed in an exemplary manner all the duties required of it during the last four years. In such times nations are eager to take offence and to see in the most necessary acts signs of an imagi nary hostility ; but with reflection these suspicions disappear, and so it will be in this case if the resent ment of the Americans be not kept up by represen tations made in this country. POST.—Some weeks ago we called the attention of our readers to the fact that it was the intention of the Russian Government to concert measures with the other Northern Powers who are co-proprie tors of Poland for the incorporation of that ill fated kingdom into the empire. Our statement has just received the confirmation for which we are accustomed to wait, and which, in every former case of special information of which we have been the channel, has preceded the accomplishment of the facts reported—we mean the official denial of our charges by the Government against whom we make them. At St. Petersburg, Vienna, and Ber lin the same system is pursued. It consists in never taking any notice of any statement which may to be to appear in a foreign their respective policies unless o urn l a e l s s withit happen reference true. This was notably illustrated in the case of the attempt to resuscitate the Holy Alliance, which we were the means of exposing, throughout all its stages, and finally, at the last moment, of arresting. It is again repeated in the designs which we now attribute to Russia, and which we can only hope to check by giving them the widest possible publicity. The sensation which was created in St. Petersburg by the article which appeared in our columns, and to which we have alluded, is graphi cally described by the correspondent of the Inde pendance Beige , who draws the same inference as ourselves from the eagerness displayed by the Go vernment to contradict our assertions, which induces them to honour us specially by a departure from the ordinary official routine in cases of dlmentis. "To prove to you," writes the correspondent of the In dependance, " how much our Govern men t was moved by the article in the Morning Post, it is suffi cient for me to state a fact known to all the world, and to which the greatest publicity was given. The newspaper telegrams from abroad do not arrive at the offices until after they have passed under the censorship of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. On the day that a succinct report was received by tele graph of the article in the Morning Ns 4, the tele gram containing it arrived at all the newspapo offices accompanied by a note from the Minister de nying the assertions of the English journal, and quoting an article from the Abend Post of Vienna, which merely spoke of the negotiations relative to a state of siege in Galicia, and in no way invalidated the other assertions of the Morning Post. It was in this form—altogether unusual, and without prece dent in the history of the Russian press—that the despatch containing the Morning Post article ap peared, and nobody doubted whence came the am plification of the telegraphic text. 'lt must be ad mitted that the affair was, to say the least of it, odd, and denoted an extraordinary anxiety- not to leave the Russian press under the impression of the news which reached it from Loudon. This anxiety is very significant, and I take special note of it." In other words, the experience of this journalist in the Russian capital leads him to assume that what we have stated must be true, or it would not have received such marked attention on the part of the authorities. We have now great pleasure in sending to the Department of Foreign Affairs in St. Petersburg a little further information on the same subject. We have failed to discover among our files of Austrian papers any article which directly contradicts what we are about to state ; but we have no doubt that the official whose duty it is to provide the antidote to our poison will .be more successful. We trust, therefore, that our in discretion will be pardoned when we state that in the end of January last the Russian Ambassador at Berlin, M. D'Oubril, informed M. de Bismarck that it was the intention of Russia to send an invi tation to the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia to meet the Czar in Warsaw in May, when some grand military reviews will take place. The real purport of the interview is, however, defined to be their withdrawal, by mutual consent on the part of all the three Powers, from the o bli ga ti ons o f th e Treaty of Vienna, which have long since become irksome to the co-partitioners of Poland. This tention has been communicated - confitt6ntially to the Berlin Cabinet. Our only excuse for doing what we can to interfere with this little arrangement is the hope that our efforts may not be altogether un attended by success, and we are the more encou raged to persevere, as a recent experience has de monstrated the salutary effects of a timely expose. .We allude to a statement contained in our columns that Russia had requested Austria not to raise the state of siege in Galicia. The telegram containing that statement was published in Vienna on the 6th of March in the morning. The same day the Em peror signed the decree that the state of siege should cease on thi 13th April. We do not for a moment desire it to be supposed that the fact which we pub lished, and which was, of course, denied at the time, contributed, directly to this result, but there can be little doubt that the consciousness that a demand so humiliating to the pride of Austria was known to foreign Powers contributed to an act which indicated some resentment on the part of the Austrian Govern ment at this unwarrantable interference in their internal affairs. Just in the same way it only suffices for the project to which we have alluded to become publicly known to neutralise the advantages which Russia hopes to derive from it, if it does not causb it to fall to the ground altogether. To the credit of the country be it spoken, there is a very strong party in Russia entirely opposed to this policy of the incorporation of Poland. The Grand Duke Constantine, Prince Suwaroff, Prince Orloff, and the Minister Golowiun, are all opposed to it. Even General Berg, would speak in the same sense if he could dare to do so without risking his vice-royalty. Under these circumstances, we feel that we are strengthening the hands not merely of the Liberal party in Europe, but in Russia itself, by letting in as much daylight as possible upon Ministeriafin trigues. So long as Sovereigns and their Cabinets continue to conspire in secret against the liberties of Europe, so long shall we continue unflinchingly our task of dragging their plots into the light of day, of exposing their machinations, and of cutting the meshes of the net they are for ever weaving round the freedom and happiness of its peoples. While it has latterly been the instinct of the public of Eng land, and of the Government by NG hich it is repre sented, to abstain from physical interference in tho affairs of European nations, we are not the less in terested in watching the development of those prin ciples to which we owe our own contentment and political well-being, and we regard it as a sacred, duty to exercise whatever moral influence we pos sess in thewaybest calculatedto promote the triumph of those principles abroad. The dementis of Foreign Ministers will affect, as little as the anathemas of the official journal which they inspire. We shall regard the one as the strongest confirmation we could de sire of our veracity, and the other as the highest compliment which could be paid to our honesty and sincerity of purpose. However disagreeable the pro spect may be, the day is none the less inevitable when the warring elements of Etirope, which have been so long suppressed, will openly range themselves against each other in battle array. If, when that day comes, we can feel that we have contributed, in how ever small a degree, to the result which recent events have only retarded, we shall consider our mission accomplished. Wag - es at the Post-Office. The following memorandam was on Wednesday issued from the circulation department of the Gene ral Post-office : " Upon the recommendation of the Postmaster- General, the Lords of the Treasury have now sanc tioned, as a permanent arrangement, the following wages for the minor establishment of the Post-office: —lBO sorters, with wages rising by is. a week, from 40s. to 50s. a week ; 400 sorters, with wages rising by Is. a week, from 235. to 38s. a week ; 100 stampers, with wages rising by Is. a week, from 28s. to 355. a week ; 200 stampers, with wages rising by is. a week, from 21s. to 275. a week ; 330 letter carriers, with wages rising by is. a week, from 265. to 30s. a week ; 670 letter carriers, with wages rising by Is. a week, from 20s. to 255. a week ; and 100 supplementary letter carriers with wages of 18s. a week. " In communicating this decision to the men it is necessary to remind them that, though their wages alone, looking to the general rates of wages, might be considered to remunerate them sufficiently, the benefit of their wages is by no means confined to their bare wages, and that this is especially so in the case of the letter carriers. To all pensions are granted on their retirement from age or sickness. All have a fair chance of rising to the several from ho u t d h a e y s u e p v p e l r e y m e y n e t a a r r o cl n ass fu . All pay h . have a c lasses above them, the entire establishm en t b e i ng ll g t e ht d the have medical advice a n d me di c i nes gratis, and whenfr e o r e r t n u medical officer reports it to be ne cessary that they should absent themselves from duty, they still receive two-thirds of their wages, and all have assistance in the insurance of their lives to the extent of one-fifth of the premium. Beyond this the letter carriers are supplied with uniform clothing, the money value of which is equal to at least is. 6d. a week, and they receive from the public in gra tuities at Christmas a sum which, if divided equally and spread over the whole year, would produce on an average ss. a week to each man. The places, therefore, of the regular letter carriers -1,000 iu number —are worth upon an average from 265. Gd. to 365. Gd. a week, apart from the other advantages, In comparing too, these wages of the minor esta blishment with the wages of artisans, it must be borne in mind that they go on continuously through out the whole year, and that the work in the Post office is not liable to fluctuations which necessitate frequent change of abode.—By command of the Postmaster-General, " W. BOKENIIAM, Controller." "And then he drew a dial frem his poke, And looking on it with lack lustre eye, Says very wisely, ' It is ten o'clock : Thus wo may see,' quoth he, ' how the world wags."'
