Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles, Glycerine, and . ,Seap"—the only ono to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their " BEL.AIONTINE" and "PRICE'S pARAFFINE" for those who must have the evreme transparency of pure Paraffine their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE " and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell; their good old-fashioned " B ELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dripping of grease when carried. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE" con tains half its wt•ight of their distilled Glycerine, and should -be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr ps of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chappi n g and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with Trice's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be used. " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses, are believed to bo the very best Night Lights made. " PRICES CHILD'S NIGHT LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for burning without a glass.

Working ai n are made members by subscribing one shillin g an nually, for which they are provided with a e. and of membership. All this is well ; and we are inf muted that the society has already provided man.: r hun dreds of men with employment at good want .s, and through its agency four impendii , g striket have been prevented or arranged. Sam thousands of working men have registered themselves, and Lum bers are daily repairing to the society's offices, for the purpose. By co-operating with this society the working man places himself under no patronage and accepts no charity. It is simply a system of insur ance like any other. For ls. per annum be insures himself, as far as posiible, from being out of work ; by paying from 3d. to 6d. weekly if he is young, or from 6d. to Is. if he is over fifty, be is entitled to a sick allowance of from 10s. to per week; and he thus reduces to a minimum the two chief evils incidental to his calling. lie can further lay before the society any gross act of injustice on the part of his employer, when, if the committee think it a fit case far arbi tration, it will be so dealt with under Lord St. Leonarda' Act. Any member refusing-to abide by such arbitration loses his membership ; and in all disputes between employers and servants an equal number only of the representatives of each class are to vote, and such votes are to betaken b; ballot. Under these regulationi 7fvre. not , 4 * Via witinlen should re 'theinse • t when we examine the attitude of employers, either in trade or otherwise, we find a de cided contrast. Though the society is meant to be self supporting considerable preliminary expenses have been incurred, and some few noblemen and gentlemen have subscribed sums averaging £5 each If the scheme is a useless folly, this is too much ; but if they consider it a wise and practical measure, it seems too little. It may be a symptom of the nervousness and timidity which, according to the Saturday Review, has fallen with such paralysing effect on the upper classes, but at any rate the mass of our territorial and county proprietors are, as a rule, nowhere in the movement. 'We might reasonably expect to have seen the large employers of labour fully represented, not only as members, but as subscribers ; but such is not the case. - Where are the names of the fashionable tailors whose outcries were so loud this year, and whose losses were stated to be so large owing to the strike ? Conspicuous by their absence. The rail way companies have not joined the movement, and Sheffield contributes only one name. This may be owing to the cowed and demoralised mental state of the Sheffield magnates, of which we have had such numerous proofs, or it may be due to that curious policy of niggardli ness which induces a man to postpone insuring bis own shop till his neighbour's house is on fire. Yet if these gentlemen were to calculate how much a strike coAi, and, more than this, how much the fear of a strike costs, would they measure it by hundreds or by thousands? To wait until a strike is imminent, and then to send a guinea with a hurried request for hands from the society, would not be a satisfactory way of deal ing, and it is one which the committee ought to discourage if it is attempted. If the scheme is properly supported it will undoubtedly do on a large scale and for all divisions of labour what Mr. Girillestone did in a small way for the Dorset shire agricultural servants. It will, however, be important that the subscriptions and charges due from the workmen and servants who obtain em ployment through the agency of the company should in all cases be paid in full, or the society will dege nerate into a charitable association, the effect of which cannot be otherwise than demoralising to all concerned.—Pall Mall Gazette. POST-OFFICE REFORM'. A very numerously attended meeting was held last night in Exeter Hall with the view of placing the position of Post-office employes before the public, in order that they might be enabled to re ceive better remuneration for their services, as well as more certain and speedy means of promotion. Mr. J. Bennett occupied the chair, and in a brief speech dwelt upon the vast proportions which the business of the Post-office had now attained, there being no less, he said, than a thousand millions of letters and pamphlets passing throught it annually. The revenue, too, not only paid all the expenses of the establishment, but left a profit of something like a million and a half. Yet, notwithstanding that such was the case, there existed among the employes a degree of discontent and unhappiness almost amounting to rebellion. In endeavouring to obtain redress for their grievances they were told that they were fighting against the laws of political economy ; but where intelligence and energy were required in a high degree, it must not be hoped that those qualities could be secured for the wages of dulness, or that the best way to obtain immaculate honesty was to give a man a salary which would not place the poorest person beyond the reach of temp tation. For manyyears the Post-office employes had preferred ther claims for redress on the Post-office authorities, but without avail. Their representa tions had been treated with neglect and contempt. lie did not complain that the present heads of departments, as they were called, were no wiser than their predecessors, and it should be borne in mind that that great man, Sir Rowland Ilill, had taken it as a fundamental maxim that the au thorities were always wrong. They were always wrong in their opinions, their figures, and their prophecies, and they were now trying to diminish the magnificent results which the exertions of Sir It. Hill had achieved by the prosecution of a sys tem which led to a state of things almost amount ing to starvation. Mr. Bennett, to show how badly the servants of the Post-office were in some in stances remunerated, read a letter which he had re ceived from a country postman, which stated that he only got 12s. a week, and that having a wife and four children to support, he could scarcely procure for them the common necessaries of life. It was unworthy, he contended, of a great and opulent country like England to have these who served well in a position of much trust and responsibility thus paid, and he trusted that public opinion would be brought to bear upon the subject, so that they might be placed in a better position. Mr. E. Reid then presented himself to the meeting, and proposed the following resolution :—" That, con sidering the large amount of work Post-office employes have to perform, the importance and trust of their duties, the increased cost of living to which they are now subject, and the additional remunera tion that has been accorded to other classes of labour, this meeting is of opinion that Post-office ofli,•ials on the permanent and unestablished staff through out the kingdom, especially those intrusted with sorting, stamping, and carrying duties, are insuffi cently paid, and need a more certain and speedy means of promotion ; that this meeting would ex press its sympathy with the large class of the un established employes called rural messengers ;' and, considering the great amount of their daily duties, the similarity of their work to that of the per manent staff, the character of the widespread and difficult districts through which they have to travel, is of opinion that they deserve a higher rate of re muneration, and also that some scheme of promo tion, of sick pay, annual holydays, with uniform, &c., might justly be providedgfor them." He dwelt at considerable length on the punctuality and in tegrity by which the Post-office employes were cha racterised, and the paltry reward which they received for their services. Ile alluded to the fact that the officers of the Inland Revenue and the cab pro prietors had had their claims for redress granted or favourably entertained almost before the ink was dry ou the resolutions in which they were em bodied, and asked whether the servants of the Post office were entitled to less consideration, Ile THE CIink , CMAS PRESENT.

THE LOSS OF THE I3OSPHORUS. .I'Lf3tdirirr, Dec. 15. The following de6ils of the loss of the Bosphorus have been received here:— "The Bosphorus, Captain Alexander, a hired steam-transport, from England for Bombay, with stores for the Abyssinian Expedition, ran on Zitzi kamma Point, between Algoa Bay and Simon's Bay, at 1 a.m. on the 21st of October. She left Simon's Bay on the evening of the 19th. About midnight on the 20th the weather was slightly hazy. The Bosphorus was bowling along at nearly full speed, steering E. by N., with no apprehension of danger, her officers but a few hours previously having believed themselves to, be 198 miles from land. Five minutes before she struck the haze lifted and land was seen right ahead. Everything was done to wear the ship, but it was too late. She struck on the rocks with a crash which shook every bolt from stem to stern. The vessel then almost immediately heeled over and broke her back, having only one boat available. I Three hours afterwards the Bosphorus went to pieces. Most of the crew who were saved found their way to land on pieces of wreck which were ' floating about. The captain, who could not swim, was saved by clinging to a piece of timber which floated past him to a rock, over which he clambered to land much cut and bruised. There were 88 persons on board, and the following 40 are all that were saved :--Captain Alexander, Chief Officer Dunn, Second Officer Anscoe, Third Officer Hop kinson, Boatswain Williams, Carpenter M'Leod, Lieutenant Baker, R.N., transport officer, Purser Saunders, and J. Franks, 'l'. Earle, L. Saddler, J. Ryan, R. Jenkins, R. Pringle, L. Harrison, C. Cleaver, P. Hughes, W. Hume, J. Farrol, J. Cavitt, J. Fitzgerald, D. M. Court, R. Fyfe, R. O'Donnell, J. Riley, J. Hunt, E. Spencer, J. Tate, J. Bennett, C. Meaker, A. Gunter, J. Wil liams, W. Henn, W. Bell, J. M‘Griffin, W. Nicholson, C. Peas, J. 11Plienna, J. Richards, and J. Baharr. The other 48 persone met their deaths in the first hour. " The Government at the Cape have ordered a special and strict inquiry into the circumstances of the wreck." A FREE LABOUR SOCIETY. M f. p b ec e m now to be convinced that at the present moment a smouldering fire of antago nism, fanned by folly and selfishness, exists between capital and labour, which is not the growth either of yesterday or to-day ; and that there is a good deal of danger in it. It is a kind of sporadic disease, which, appearing and disappearing here to-day, to morrow crops up somewhere else, whence it is not, perhaps, so easily dislodged ; but it is always im pending, and produces a general sensation of uneasi ness and distrust. High prices for food in one place, low wages for labour in another; the public crying out against the butchers and bakers, the bakers and butchers retorting on the public ; many hands out of work ; rates heavy, and likely to be heavier ; our poor starving without the workhouse, our paupers starving and ill-treated within—it is not a pleasant state of things to con template. Strikes are now less numerous than they were, perhaps because two of the most formidable— those of the London tailors and the North-Eastern Railway drivers and firemen—were speedily and thoroughly broken up ; but nevertheless there re mains a spirit of moody discontent which threatens mischief to trade and industry alike. Now " for every evil under the sun there is a cure or there is none." For this state of things the remedy lies in our own hands, subject only to the amount of knowledge we have on the subject, and the degree of wisdom with which we apply it in practice. It is, indeed, true that we rarely move until we are driven ; but as a sensible people we ought long since to have devised a comprehensive scheme ana logous to the French conseils des prud'hoinmes, adapted to bring into greater harmony the relations between the employers and the employed. Such a scheme should employ no artificial and therefore short-lived expedients to regulate thelabour market, or it cannot have a healthy and permanent suc cess. One great aim should be to develope the use of the rail and the telegraph in behalf of labour, in the same energetic way in which it has long been employed in for warding the interests of trade. If corn or mutton, or any other commodity, is a drug in the market at certain points, and the tradesman, learning the fact by telegram, forthwith despatches orders to pur chase at that price and forward to him, he sells again at a lower rate than his competitors and thereby prices tend to equalise at both ends ; and there is no reason in the world why a similar operation should not be carried on with regard to labour. The Trade Commission is at present sitting almost daily, and the moment seems opportune to discuss any proposed remedy for the state of things revealed by its labours. As the recently established Free Labour Registration Society is the first that has appeared at all promising to supply what is much called for, it may be worth while to inquire into the constitution and working of it, so as to enable the public to judge how far it can or is likely to be of permanent value. The ob jects aimed at are stated to be—first, to obtain em ployment for those who want it, and hands for em ployers; secondly, the free discussion of all questions affecting ca pital and labour ; thirdly, the peaceful settlement of such questions by arbitration ; fourthly, the protection of the interests of the members by strictly constitutional means. It is, in short, designed as a rallying point for non unionists and employers. There is also a sick fund and benefit society connected with it, but each of them is separate and optional, S 3 that a man can register himself either to obtain employment or to procure labour, or he can insure himself against sickness and death, as he sees fit. Members arc registered gratis, and a fee of half a day's wages is charged when a situation is obtained through the agency of the society. Employers are members at the rate of £1 annually for employers of less than 100 hands, and of £2 for those who employ more. The general committee of manage ment is composed of noblemen and gentlemen and an equal number of working men ; five form a quorum. The sick fund is very judiciously placed under the sole management of a sub-committee of working men, who report monthly to the central committee. The scale of payments has been de , tertuined by properly qualified authorities, and the rules of the benefit society have been examined and 147, CHEAPSIDE, LONDON.

Referring to the rebellion in Jamaica, he expressed it to be his belief that it was in some degree to be attributed to the culpable negligence of a public officer in one of our great departments, who published a confi dent:al letter which went out to that is'and, and which roused the indignation of the natives. Yet, while the man who had done that great injury to the country was visited with no punishment, a poor postman who lost a letter in the street by accident was at once ruined in life by the action of the head of his department. Mr. Reid, in conclusion, ad vocated the appointment of a commission to in quire into the justice of the complaints of those whose cause he pleaded. The resolutions, having been seconded by Mr. Richardson, were put and unanimously adopted. Dr. Begg then moved, " That, with full conviction of the reli gious, political, and social evils resulting from Sun day labour as existing in connection with our postal arrangements, and believing that it may be entirely abolished without injury to commerce by timely notice and preparation, this meeting implores her Majesty's Government to take early steps for re moving this great evil from our midst" Reargued I that it - fias a matter of great social importance that the 21,000 Post-office employes who were engaged on Sunday labour throughout the country should be exempted from such work, and expressed a hope that by steady perseverance a state of things so much open to objection on many grounds would be obviated. Mr. Shaw having seconded the resolu tion it was at once agreed to as was also a resolu tion praying that Parliament might deem it advis able to furnish returns of the scale of pay for the various grades in the various offices, and of the • money expended in the detective department— also one authorising the getting up of a petition embodying the substance of the previous resolu tions. A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the proceedings to a close. THE GORILLA COUATRY. Mr. Walker, of Fernand Vas, has written a 1 letter to Dr. Gray, under the date of August 29, 1867, from which we (Athenxuni) are allowed to make the following extract :—" It may interest you as well as the Zoological Society, to know that I have a fine, healthy, young male gorilla, which I hope may eventually reach the Zoological-gardens. I have heard of a young chimpanzee at some dis tance, and have to-day sent to endeavour to pro cure it as a companion for my little Njine. I shall do my utmost to send the pair safely to England ; but as the winter will he coming on before I can ship them, I may have to keep them until next spring, and it will be a hard matter to keep them alive all that time. The gorilla was captured on the 13th instant, and brought to me the next day by its captor, one of the natives trading for me, who, whilst taking a walk, unarmed, except with a spear, suddenly came on a family of gorillas—father, mother, and young one. The mother, contrary to what might have been expected, abandoned her baby,' and ran off ; the father showed fight, rushing at the native open mouthed, and receiving a stab in the side from a spear, which caused him to retreat a little ; when my man, not waiting to receive a second attack, snatched up the young one, and made for his home as fast as possible, and the next day brought the little fellow to me, made fast with a forked stick about his neck, as if he was a most ferocious animal. I s9Oll made him more comfortable, by placing a belt round him, to which I attached a small cord ; and though somewhat snappish for a day or two, awl very shy, he soon became quite familiar and tame, and now his greatest delight is to be in my arms, where he would stop aitogetlier if I would Ist him, and had nothing to do but to nurse him. lie is, I should think, between one and two years old, hearty, vigorous and healthy, with a tremendous appetite, and contrives to get through several pounds of berries a day, besides nearly a pint of goat's milk, with which I mix up two raw eggs, to prevent diarrhoea, to which these animals are very subject, and which has occa sioned the death of four others which I have had at different times ; but I think this one stands a better chance of living than any of the previous ones—at any rate, there seems little fear of his dying of starvation. I have always been puzzled by M. Du Chaillu's account of the uncon querable savageness of young gorillas, which is so diametrically opposed to my own experience of them. I certainly never saw any of those in his possession whose untatnableness he mentions, but he saw one perfectly tame at my factory in, I think, 1860; and of the five I have had, only one, and that one about four years old, was at all savage ; the others soon became tame, familiar, and playful ; and the present subject is no exception to the rule, having made great progress in a very short time, and being cer tainly quite as devoid of spitefulness as a chimpan zee of the same age, and only so short a time from the bush,' would be. The grief of the little fellow when first caught was quite touching to witness; he could scarcely bear to be looked at, and, if at all annoyed by the presence of many people round him, would lie on the ground, with his face buried in his hands, and sway his head from side to side, as if in an agony of sorrow at losing his parents; and even now, when left alone for any length of time, he has relapses of the same kind, and appears to be in great tribulation."

Mgrs :u s e ' so doubt: prepared for any violence,%nt we cannot but think that their very atrocities will' lessen their hold an the restless and impulsive but generous people their delude. It may be predicted that the Clerkenwell massacre will cause many an Irishman to draw back from the conspiracy which is stained with the blood of women and little children. No sentiment will be possible this time, should the perpetrators of the outrage meet a well-deserved fate. The Limerick or Killarney ladies will hardly array themselves in a tast-ful mixture of black and green to honour the memory of those who !Jere filled the wards of St. Bartholomew's with burnt and blackened patients. N(x is the setting fire to Imo/. Fending people's houses in various part; of London, with tho view of exciting general terror, a very noble and romantic kind of warfare. It is no flat`ery for the Irish people to say that we believe Fenianism to be making suicide of itself by its wickedness ; it would be an insult to them to sup. pose them capable of putting trust any longer in such leaders. This foreign conspiracy, in which a few God-aban doned men do the work of Transatlantic plotters, taking np their devices, and possibly using materials furnished from abroad, will hardly fail to appear in its true light to the eyes of an undeceived people. If this be so, those Irish who have unfortunately allowed themselves to be led away by misplaced sympathy with guilty men need have no shame in abandoning the impious !a tien which pretends to be working their deliverance. They certainly cannot do better than follow the advice of the Roman Catholic clergy, who have all along, and never more vehemently than during the last few days, counselled them to abstain from treasonable doings. The Roman Catholic bishops especially have done both their flocks and the nation an eminent service by the spirit in which they have met the crisis. Though some priests did seem to have drawn nearer to the disaffectea class after the execution at Manchester, wo are yet bo•And . to say that the clergy, as a wh Ile, have shown that t.F 43 , are well-disposed to the - eanse of law and order, and ',;hat the Government may count On them in combating the delusions of the hour. They now have the opportunity of pointing out to their flocks, by the light of recent events, how vain are the hopes of the traitors, and what misery a persistence in this enterprise will bring on Ireland. The Daily Hews is disposed to question the soundness of . Mr. Disraeli's position that the sufferers by th e Cl er k en . well explosion should look to private charity for their rag). port. A voluntary subscription is better than a gre.nt of public money where opinions are divided as to the object sought, as has happened when a vote has been proposed for a statue of a public man ; or where a special sentiment needs to be stimulated and developed ; or where a demon stration of feeling is needed to remove doubt and uncer tainty as to a sentiment already existing. On the other hand, where a public sentiment is strong, unanimous, and is clearly manifested, there are decided advantages to be. gained by making the Government its organ, and this ve submit is now the ise. It was worth while to make the provision for tlit>e poor people public and national, in order to shew to all who may be exposed to danger in their country's cause that the honour, power, and resources of the whole State are pledged to their succour and relief. And if one could suppose the egotists who plan such out rages as these accessible to instruction, the spectacle of the easy, instant, and certain action of the Government in repairing the mischief they have done, is calculated to be more impressive than the labours of committees and the parade of fragmentary subscriptions. It is satisfactory, however, to know that in every ease the sufferers will be well cared for. Many of them have sustained by bereave ment losses which are irreparable, but the country will with heart and soul do all that is possible for their comfort and welfare. The Herald believes that the policy inaugurated at Manchester, with the general support of the country, will in a little time bring the real Fenians to their senses. The ♦ery nature of the attempt at Clerkenwell is an evidence how necessary the Brotherhood feel it to reassert their proud boast that British law had no terror for them. Towards the other portion of the disaffected our duty is equally clear. We must guard them from the conse quences of their own folly. We must remind them con tinually that if they transgress those limits within which contempt makes them secure, the law will be vindi cated with the utmost energy and declsion. Where such wild work as these processions exemplify becomes the habit of a multitude the excitement is contagious and spreads to quiet people, who under ordinary circumstances would snake tolerably good subjects. The proverb exhorts us when we are at Rome to do as Rome does, end if it became the right of every Irish town to parade its dis loyalty, what had been the violence of a few would soon become the recognised public opinion of the place. The idle and illogical might he content with such contemptible displays, but the earnest minds among the cr,iwd would be apter pupils for Fenian recruiting sergeants, and the countenance of such displays would swell the Fenian exchequer. The circumstances of Ireland make the course adopted by Lord Abercorn imperative. The im mediate success which has attended his measures are a further and most convincing proof of their propriety. The Staniard asks whether, after the evidence of Inspector Thomson, that as far back as Wednesday a coin• munication was received to the effect that an attack would be made on the prison walls, the police are not to blame in not better looking after the House of Detention. If it be so, there can be no question that there is grave causo for complaint against the department which, having been forewarned, should have been forearmed. If the de tectives were previously notified, as we believe it will prove they were, that the attempted rescue would take ';he form of an attack upon a certain portion of the oundary wall of the recreation ground between three and four o'clock on Friday afternoon, measures should have been taken to render impossible the catastrophe which ensued. Not a man, woman, or child should have been allowed to pass through or linger in Corporation-lane, save under the most rigorous espionage. The conferences of the woman Justice with Allen and Desmond should at once have excited suspicion, as well as the furtive appear :nee of the four men pecr:ng over the wall from a top window. With a vigilant and intelligent look-out the planting of the barrel against the prison wall at the very spot indice ted would have shewn the precise nature of the danger to be anticipated, and the delay in fixing and light ing the squib would have afforded ample time both for defeating the plot and arresting its agents. It is fearful to contemplate the loss of life and the amount of suffering and misery which may be chargeable to the carelessness or want of intelligence displayed in this matter. One Food result, at least, may accrue from that disaster of riday. It may lead to a reform and reorganisation in our detective department. If, observes the Telegraph, it should be pleaded that the deed was transcendently unexpe-trd, we are obliged to admit the fact, and to excuse a great deal of neglected in formation and " lazy" movements ; but the apology m us t only serve for once. We know now with what we have to deal ; the mood which impelled those four or five trick. end-tub Fenians will blench at nothing that we may tSink lacredible. Death met in •the act or upau the gallows will hot daunt them ; we have tried that, and, to say the least, the experiment has not had absolute and perfect tuccess. It will not su ffi ce to fulminate tlreats against toe Fenians, or to declare that we shall band them over Judge Lynch. We must punish such human tigers like tigers when we are sure that we have them ; but we must also set keen wits to work against those mad, quick Celtic devotees of murder. Bungling and blundering will not stop the infernal programme. And this really is nut the first nor the second time that the police have been forewarned. Informers—always plentiful, strange to say, among these desperate and fervid assassins—will be die. couraged about Scotland-yard if their hints are perpetually thrown away. It- is no time for paying compliments to the force. We want proofs of its sagacity and forethought. By-and-bye, when the craze of murder is over, and we begin to talk of legislation, vigilance and activity will not fail to receive their reward. The instantaneous connection of the men and the woman with the explosion seems to the Star irresistibly to sir!gest that the goodwill and shrewdness of the officers might have been put to much better use than they were. This is confirmed, too, by the evidence of Inspector Thom son, who gave notice to all the Clerkenwell stations to watch every likely point of attack on the House of Deten tion that afternoon. Why was there not at least one policeman in uniform at each likely pointin accordance with this hint ? Several non-police witnesses detailed the manner in which the barrel was placed and fired, and one of them deposed to having called the attention of a policeman to it. The evidence of next Friday wi , l be watched for with great interest as likely to connect these two branches of the story more exactly than they are united by the evidence of the policeman Sutton. In the meantime rumours arc abroad of a foiled attempt upon Millhank, and of the presence of a barge of gunpowder on the Thames near to certain gas-works. All our tout ry deems it necessary to say on these reports is, that the lesson of the House of Detention ought to have effec tually taught the police how best to reassure the public, and now best to frustrate the public enemy. The Post makes some severe comments on a case of pro motion in the Foreign. Office, where the aggregate services of V 2 years have b.:en neglected to make way fur one Illr. Burnley—eiglity seven years' seniority among the con suls-general, zui-t ninety-five years among the secretaries. senior Cons.ll-General having entered the service in and cow:Lug consequently forty-three years' ser vice, while the senior Secretary of Legation was ap pointed in the year 181 G, and has served fifty-one years without promotion or even an honorary reward of any kind ! Supposing the Admiralty or Vie horse Guards w,..re to i o such things as these, what would be said ? Briefly, the complaints of the diplomatic and consular service may be thus summed up. The promo. tions are independent of merit, rank, length of service, or any other motive than interest or caprice. Arbitrary fines are imposed ; accounts are refused payment or exami nation ; deductions are made from salaries without justi. fiable reason. Officers are suspended and degraded without cause assigned.. Protest and appeal are useless, and cause a man to be marked down for punishment of a vindictive kind, amounting in many cases to persecution ; while the only definite rule understood throughout both services is a system of open and undisguised favouritism by a clique, which seems to set all public upinien and right feeling at defiance. lipvF.
