BARRY AND THE NEW PALACE AT WEST- MINSTER.-A Parliamentary paper published on Tuesday gives some particulars of the negotiations between Sir C. Barry and the Government respecting his remunera tion as architect of the new palace at We-tminster. The Lords of the Trea-ury. in a special minute, observe that it is clear from the premises-1. That Sir Charles Barry accepted a c‘ main proposed sum, after a distinct refusal of explanation regarling the principle on which it was proposed ; 2. That he was well aware at the time that it was far short of the usual remuneration to archi tects ; and, 3. That he well understood that it was in . . ;ended as the hoe remuneration which he was to re- teive for the superintendence, direction, and completion of the intended edifice; and that it is now, therefore, too late for him to raise questions and found c aims. Their Lor.iships accorlitzly concur in the recommenda tions of the First Commissioner of Works, and desire that Minister to govern himself thereby. These are to the etf--ct that Sir C. Barry do r,ceive, as a further re muneration for services connected with the warming, lighting, and ventilating arrangements, a sum of 4,925/ , au(' that an allowance for meaeurement of 1 per cent. be for the fu.ute made only upon such accounts as re quire the service of a surveyor for their preparation, unless the architect be authorised by the Board of Works, under the approval of the Treasury, to make any special charge for special services 'so authorised. In bringing this matter to a cenclusom their Lordships feel at right to ob. er‘e that when they agreed to a pay ment to Sir C. Barr at a ate of. 1 per cent, for mea sur.ng they hal bet, re them a report of the Board f Works, whence it appeared that if the measuring were conducted under the direction of the board the remune ration to professional measurers for the work would be made by "a commission varying from a to a per cent." Their Lordships therefore consider that in allowing Sir C. B trry 1 ver cent. he will receive ample remuneration for any duties imposed upon him personally in con nection with the measuring ; and they add that, under the circumstances, they will have conceded payments to him considerably exceeding the sum to whic!i he would have been eeticled - for the mere duty of measuring.

JOHN JOHN SCOTT, TIDE TRAINER. The " Fresh Man" in his communication published in The Sun of Monday last, exposed the absurdity of a very silly report which was goin T the round of the news papers in reference to an incident which, it is asserted, took place during Palmer's trial. The paragraph re ferred to was copied into most of the provincial papers. In reference to it the following letter has been addressed to the Liverpool. Albion, which had hi common with its contemporaries inserted the stupid story TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALBION. Sir,—A. copy of the Albion of yesterday's date, has just been put into Mr. John Scott's hands, containing a para graph headed " Mews of the Palmer Case," in which it is alleged that a correspondence of an improper character had taken place between L ord Derby's head trainer and Palmer, that daring the trial the latter had dropped a letter which he had received from the trainer, disclosing several stable secrets, and hinting at the consideration that was to be paid for the iuformatioo, that this letter was handed to Lord Derby, who was seated on the bench, and that the trainer had since been discharged. This story is altogether so absurd as to ha.dly require notice, and the greatest wonder is how such a production could have been admitted by yon into your columns. But, as articles of this description, recklessly inserted in public journals with out the slightest regard to their truth, or even probability, are readily laid hold of by a certain class, who avail them selves of any opportunity to throw discredit upon an amuse ment which they do not understand, it is only right that you should give full publicity to this direct and unqualified denial of the alleged transaction. Mr. John Scott is the only trainer employed by the Earl of Derby ; he never wrote any letter to, or held the slightest communisation with, Palmer, nor did he even know the man ; and so far from his having been discharge!, he still holds the same situation of t-nst ler.his lordskip ; and I believe I may venture to add, that he still'-6nYrys.khe same confidenotr and esteem with which the noble earl has honourel• him for so many years.—l am, sir, your obedient servant..

Its committee was composed of maritime and business men, and prizes, nounting to 2201., were offered for comps The weatt eie was extreme'y fin tat it was almost a stark calm ; the assemblage of visitors by the excursion trains of the Eastern Counties, whi . c4 were admirably 'conducted, was brilliant and extremelyinumerous. Bands of music played throughout the day, and the scene was one of a peculiarly animated and pleasurable bliaracter. The great feature of the day was the schooner race for a piece of plate, value 100 gs., to be sailed 'foi by yachts belonging to a Royal Yacht Club, no restriction as to sails or men, and no time allowed for tonnage ; to this was added a purse of 30 sovereigns, - t o be sailed for by yawls, from all parts, with half a minute per foot for difference of length. The third race in the list was for a purse of 30 sove reigns, to be rowed for in heats by six-oared baach•gigs. Tne fourth race, a parse of 30 sovereigns, to be sailed forby yachts not exceeding 50 tons, with half a minute per ton allowed for difference of tonnage.

The start was made at 12h. 24m, The Vestal was slower than her rivals in setting sail, and the Lalla Rookh was well rigged first. There was scarcely a capful' of air, and the vessels sluggishly crept through the water, the Vestal, raivantaged by a "cat's• paw," slowly moving in front, in which position they were lost sight of, and never again seen, alth ugh the umpires strained their eye; till dark. It was stated subsequently that the Aquiline had come in at night, but afterwards postively asserted that it was the Leila Rookh ; and the przo had not been awarded when the reporter left Whitewall-house, near Malton,iy 15th, 1856. The Illustrated Times is responsible for the reppit, and the editor of that journal has aeldresiel a note to Mr Scott, in answr to his demand for an apology, stating that a contradiction of the story will be given in the next number of the paper. the "shortcomings" of the .... ;•egatta.

PEDEST/ lANISIVf. RACE BETWEEN WILLIAM JACKSON (THE AMERICAN DEER) AND GEORGE FROST, FOR 501.—The match between these metropolitan pedestrians took plado, pursuant to articles ' on Monday, at 'Bury St. Edmunds, when Jackson proved the winner. The distance to be run was four miles, and the match was well oontested, until more than three miles an'l a half hail hien accomplished, when the Deer had nothing further to fear from his oppment who was completely " used up," and soon. afterwards hail t 3 resign the struggle. The tneetihg was well attended by the London patrons of the sport ; but the betting was by no means of a heavy description—there being, in fact, little disposition on the part of the friends of the pedes trians to speculate. RACE BETWEEN REED (OF BEEMONDSET)AND PIIILLIPS, FOR 201. A-SIDE. —According to announcement the match between these pedestrians took place on Monday, on Mr. Sadlefe inclosed ground, Garratt-lane; Wandsworth. The meeting was numerously atteuddi. The'distance they had to run was 120 3anis.. Siuce the making of the match both men hail been in rigorous training, anti the result was that it would have been impossible for them to have been in better condition. Their partisans were alike equally sanguine ; although iu betting Reed had the call, his backers freely laying the odds of 2 to 1. , The pe , es triaus h to start by mutual consent, and after some few false moves had been made, the. men dashed off iu first rate style, the lead being slightly in favour 9f Reed. A gallant struggle ensued, the match being well au tained on the part of Phillips until fully om e hundred yards of the dist auce had been accomplished, wile. Reed, who had evi dently most speed and stamina, put on some additional " steam," and, despite the efforts of his competitor, wont in a winner by nearly three 'yards. The admirers of Phillips were not a little surprised at the result, for some of the "knowing ones," that were behind this champion, were so confident of being victorious, that they had put the "pot on" to a good amount. ()REITER AND CHAPMAN.—Before the event WM brought to a decision, these pedestrians tested their racing capabi lities to a spin of half a mile, the snakes amounting in the aggregate to 101. The race in itself proved of little or no ham est to the spectators, for a more one-sided affair has lieldern been witnessed. On starting, the lead was taken by Creater, and so superior did be prove in' speed that, after something like 400 yards of the distance had been accomplished, Chapman, finding he had not the remotest chance left of winding, piffled up, and left his opponent in undisputed possession of the " field." Creator, therefore. ran the remainder of the match at leisure. WM. LEE AND WALTER GARRINGTON.'7—OR Wednesday morning these amateurs contended, in a spin of 100 pads, for a stnall•stake, at Wandsworth, when Garrington, after a well-contested race front end to end, defeated his com petitor by two yards. The odds were 5t04 on Lee. CRICKET. KENSINGTON-PARK AND CLAPHAM (4LARENCE CLUBS.

Her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin, 16, Captain Willcox, C. 8., went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday evening to prepare for being paid off. It is remarkable that Ctpt An Willcox should have been fergottea in the recent award of the decoration of the Legion of Honour by the Emperor of the French for services rendered by British officers n the Crimea timing the late war; two mates of Captain WillCOX's ship have been awarded the honour, but he who commanded the mortar-boat squadron at the actual fall of Sebastopol is unaccountaely left out of the distribution.

Iu the absence of Major Hawkins, who has not returned fm om the East, Captain Lascelles is ordered to take charge of No. 2 Company. The Dumber of field train troops encamped and hutted on Woolwich-conatimon is still undiminished, and, together with the a net number of horses—exceeding 2,o3o—which are picketed around the encampment, form a source of much attraction to crowds of sight-seers. Sundry bat teries mind troops of Horse Artillery, varying in number, aro daily inspected on Woolwich and Plunestead commons, weather permitting; so that the garrison at the present moment, from guard-mounting to evening " tattoo," is constantly alive. The new screw steam-frigate Emerald, 50 guns, and 600- horse power, was towed from Depmford to Sheerness on Tuesday by the steam vessels Afreian and Monkey.

The hones were conveniently accommodated with temporary deck stalls ; so that more particularly in this case was the rapidity ob servable with which the animals were hoisted awl slung ashore, by . meansDf the'ready process afforded by the hy draulic machinery, at the average of one horse per minute. The fleet of transport vessels 'which has crowded the land ing place at Woolwich has been cleared with remarkable despatch, 'and without the slightest accident. A portion of the live freight brought by the Lion, besides cavalry horses, consisted of a number of Russian sheep, goats, dogs, kb., a , huge bumped dromedary, and a five-horned sheep. The Lion is to proceed to the Bight to-day to land her powder, consisting of about 200 tone. 1 The transports Trent, Itnperatrice, and Eamont have been discharged from the Government service. The Ann fr4ight ship sailed yesterday from Woolwich with machinery for Bermuda.

The mart of the Postmaster-General of Canada for the year 18)4.5 has recently been presented to the Governor- General, and ordered by the Provincial Parliament to be printed. It commences by stating that the business of the depart ment has in every way largely extended during the year ending the 31st of March, 1855. 131 new post offices have been :Idea to the 1,166 already existing, and deducting closed, 1,293 were in actual operation. 1,165 miles of new post route were added to the establishment, and 543, 1 45' miles to the annual total of mail travel, which, at the date to which the report is made up, amounts to 4;559,761 miles. In 1851, the postage was reduce !from a high pro gressive scale, according to distance, to a uniform rate of 3d. currency (20. sterling) per half-ounce. In the year terminating the sth of April, 1851, the number of letters passing by the post was 2,132,4,00. The reduction of the postage charge was at once sensibly felt, for during the year ending the sth of April, 18 - .2, the number of letters WAR 3,729,752, showing an increase of •75 per cent. over 1851 • year ending April 1, 1853, 4,258, st 2 '• 1854, 5,114:200 • 1855, 6,066,692. It is estimated in the report that. the - returns for the year 1855-6 will shO'w that about 7 millions of letters will have passed through the CAuldian post. The total puitage revenue for the year ending let of April. 1853, was 110,741., from which has to be deducted 16,4491. for British 'packet postage to Gr'at Britain,and 2,256'. balance in hands of postmasters, leaving the' net revenue at 9!,0411. The total disbursements were 121,96. The available receipts of postage wore 11,041/. larger th In in the previous year ; but, on the other hand, the de partment was called upon to meet an augmentation In the expenditure of 31,4801., arising mainly upon the organisa tion of the new post-offi.,es and routes established, the large add Maus.? mail service _provided to meet the urgent, requirem.nts of the country, upon the progressive advance in all parts of the nrovince, the cost Of all descriptions of 'nail transport, the payments for railroad service, the coarnission payable to postmasters on the increased stage collections, and the augmentation which it became necessary to allow in the compensation paid to postmasters. clerks, mail o mductors, and other ofl;ets employed in the department, _ _ To meet the deficit of 29,2101., there remained upon the I grant of 1854 of 20,0001.; after dedifcting the arrears of 7,1701. standing against the departinent on 31st March, 1-451, a balance of 12 8291 applicable to the purpose, leav ing yet to be provided for 17,0901. Notwithstanding the important reduction made in the postage rate between - Canada and the United Kingdom in March, 1854, the continual erowth of the intercorrespond erica has been sufficient to maintain the collections at nearly the same amount as before ; for the British packet postage collected in Canada in the year ending the lst of April. WA (when the rate per half-ounce was ls. 2a. sterling) ,! as .17,495/. ; whilst for the year ending Ist of April, 155, during the whole of which period the half-ounce postage rate was Bd. sterling, it was 16,4491. - The Book-post regulations, controlling the transmission of books, pamphlets, and periodicals, between Canada and the United Kingdom. received a very acceptable modifica tion in !March, 1854, extending fresh facilities to this branch of intercourse, by removing foolish restrictions and penalties, which had been imposed by the British Post office, and which had given occasion to much 'public in convenience and complaint in Canada. In March, 1855, a reduction in the charge on letters passing through the English posts between Canada and France, from 2s. Bid. cy. to is. Bd. cy. per oz. letter, was made, and a further valuable improvement has since taken effect under an arrangement concluded by the Bri tish and French Governments for the interchange between Cabada aLd France (and certain foreign countries through France) of books, pamphlets, and other printed matter of a like character, at reduced rates of charge. The postal intercourse between Canada and the United States continues to enlarge. In the year ending Ist April, 1852, it was 21,409/. ; 1 53, 26,211.1. ; 1854, 32,4801.; 1855, 36,3441. The number of dead letters in the year 1854-5 was 151,504 ; in the previous year, 114011. On dolst Feb., 1855, the Provincial Money Order system was finally organised upon principles assimilating it in its chief features to that of Great Britain, and commenced operations at 84 'of the principal posit-offieee in the country. At first, as an experiment. the arne.unt for which a money order could be issued was 101., with an uniform chair of Is. 3 , 1. upon each order. The course of operations was , carefully watched during the three' months following the Ist of February, a'd the experience gained showed that an increase might conveniently• be made in the amount - for which orders were grante 1, and that the uniform charge should give place to a scale equivalent to 4 per cent. Ac• cordingly, on the Ist of May, 1855, these alterations were introduced and simultaneously the operation of I,he system was extended to 73 additional offices. The pi eipriety of the modifications thus adopted has bfien appar !net in the impulse given to this branch of the Post-office de p.artment. The operations of the Ist year to Ist Feb , 185 5, show a totel of money orders issued amounting to ui wards of 160,0001. ; and at the rate of business transact ef.l at the date of he report it may reasonably be anticip; sled that the amount of transactions for the second Year u Tj.ll reach the sum of 400,0001. One hale of the charge made on issuing an ord eff is re ti,ined by the issuing p istm-ster (except at the city post offices), in compensation for his trouble, and the re or ain+ler is appropriated to the general expenses of this hr a nch of the e tablishment. As yet the revenue thus derived has been inadequate to meet these expenses ; but this: was to have been counted on as inevitable on the commet tc ement of the undertaking. With the increase of bnsihes s which is now being realised, titis state • f matters will, i t is ex- petted by the Postmaster-General, soon die sppear., At the same time that the operations of the Alone y Order system were extended, a complete system of registration of letters was carried into effect. .In July of last year an act of the Canadian Lee* lature Cain() into effect, by which the postage charge on al / new papers passing by the post in Canada is abolished ; :and as there is no stamp duty on newspapers in Canada t 1 e Go vernment derives no fiscal benefit from their exist a oce or circulation. The Postmaster-General thus winds up his lotto .eating report : I cannot conclude without testifying to the ability and unwearied zeal of W. H Griffin, Esq., in the disch s rge of the varied and resp-msi hle duties which necessarily t evolve on the permanent first officer of this department. I have also great pleasure in stating that the othe r supe rior officers inspectors, and deputies, in their ready ~efforts give effect to the improvements from time to ti roe de vised by the department, and to carry out its instructions, a..!e justly entitled to my warmest thanks. , The duties imposed on deputy postmastets are always otserous, and frequently call for the exercise of gre at vigi la nee and care, with an unceasing regard for the it trterests of the department separate from the particular de sties of the local office. They form a chain of communica' Aon by wl tich a gradual expansion of the postal system is e 6 ected, an , i are constantly.found to be most useful in aid t og the clepartmeat to guard against the various acciden is an d hin tlrances which must occur in a new country emb racing a ttirritory of 1,300 miles in length. In the ordinary: work ing of the system, infOrmation respecting missing MN is and lost ,letters, in the development of the Money Order bi thee le officers frequently supply most efficiently the place of local inspectors, and confidentially communicate to the department information of the most valuable chat: meter. I de sire the more particularly to make mention of the servi cos of this class of officers, because, in a r (1 . ajority of in.stances, I am satisfied that the largest p By cent age or. .money remuneration which can be allowed tlnem is wholly- inadequate to compensate for their lab° , las, and that tlse.ir devotedness in duties always responsible, and frequently irksome, must result from higher moti yes than those a rising out of mere pecuniary consideration: I.

Southarnptcn excursion steamer, laden with excursionists, struck on the Culver Rocks, at the hack of that Isle of Wight, last evening. It appears that the excursionists had landed at Shanklin, and left there at 6 o'clock_ in the evening to proceed homewards round Spithead; a dense fog prevailed, and within an hour after the et earner had left Shanklin she grounded, fortunately, at h alf tide. After remaining on the rock for four hours, th e tide rose and floated the steamer off without any serial as damage. ....... de .,s the of At ifle lon tch tint •mwm. gra. folk. tare, :opt a nd- the Ron, ort ; We :d W. ;sal' y►to NO, :7 of ~~i ~.
