Eyre and the officers of his Staff from Chatham garrison, in order that it might be ascertained that every• thing had been arranged on board for the health, comfort, and convenience of the troops during the oyage. The Clarence will leave the Thames to day. The 25-pounder Armstrong guns which arrived at Chatham in the War Department transport Baltic, of the vessels belonging to the steam reserve in the Medway, ware landed at the Ordnance -wharf yesterday, and immediately taken charge of by the officials connected with the storekeeper's depart ment, no persons unconnected with Government being allowed to inspect without special authority. Two of the Armstrongs will be placed on board the Griffon, 5, screw gun-vessel ; one on board the Re sistance, 32, iron screw steamer ; and one on board the defence, 32, iron screw frigate. The Baltic also landed 950 cases of Armstrong shot and shell, and 120 boxes of the 100-pounder Armstrong shells. A series of experiments have been carried cut at Shoeburyness with a new description of gun, the invention of Mr. Thomas. This piece of ordnance is of gigantic size, its weight being about seven tons. The bore of the gun is rifled with seven grooves. The shot used weighed 1451 b.

During the experiments the gun suddenly burst while a 145- pounder shot was being fired from it, the point of fracture at the breech showing the iron to be most faulty. The 2d division E. and F. (Caithness) companies of the Highland Rifle Militia, 222 strong, com manded by Lieut.-Col. Ross, was inspected on the 19th ult., at Fort George, by Col.

On Friday afternoon one of a series of fights which took place in Cork during the day amongst men of the Royal Cork Artillery Militia, who were to be seen throughout the day in all parts of the town drunk and riotous, occurred in Marlborough street. A fellow of the name of Patrick Donovan, in the Artillery uniform, with a comrade similarly dressed, was savagely beating a man in a civilian's clothing, who was almost helplessly drunk. Not alone did he beat him with his clenched fists, but he kicked him in all parts of his body as he lay on the ground. In this Donovan was assisted by two women, one of them named Eliza beth Geany, who with the militiaman beat the unfortunate man about the, head, and dragged handfuls of hair from it. This outrage was wit nessed by a large number of people, all of whom were deterred from interfering. The shutters of the houses in the neighbourhood were quickly pat up, but not before Donovan drove his fist through a large pane of plate glass in the shop window of Mr. Walker, tailor, Marlborough-street. After some time Constable Vickers, with a number of policemen, arrived at the spot, and suc ceeded in arresting Donovan and Ueany, the other militiaman having escaped. Donovan, on being t.a►ken in charge, resisted in a manner that tested the strength of half a dozen of the constabulary. Several ineffectual attempts to handcuff him were made by them ; and ultimately they had to drag him along the streets to the Bridewell, where he was lodged with Geany. During the removal of the prisoners the mob became very great ; and, as usual, being excited against the police, fears were entertained that before their arrival at the Bridewell they would be maltreated. However, no attempt to rescue the prisoners was made. In about an hour after this transaction had taken place intelligence of the arrest of Donovan and his committal to Bridewell was conveyed to Eliza beth Fort Barracks, where the Royal Cork City Artillery are stationed, when some 300 men of the regiment rushed out of the barrack and came down to the city. In their way through Tuckey-street they made an attack on the police-station there, but were resisted by the constabulary, who were under arms. After being foiled at the station they went on to the bridewell, accompanied by a vast mob, the militia yelling frantically, and declaring that they would rescue Donovan. When they came iu front of the Bridewell they demanded his liberation and that of the other prisoner. Here the yelling and shouting again commenced—the mob every moment increasing in numbers ; so much so that the whole space opposite the Bridewell, out in Kryl's-quay, and the entire of Corn Market-street, was thronged with a dense moving mass of people, who seemed driven to the highest pitch of excitement. iiuring this uproar the marshal of the Bridewell, Mr. Howard Rice, came out into the street and endeavoured to pacify the militia, who thronged round the gate, but no sooner had he shown himself than he was knocked down and trampled on by them. A cry was immedi ately raised among the women who hold street-stalls in the neighbourhood that Mr. Rice was being murdered, and with a courageousness worthy of the occasion they rushed into the crowd, seized Mr. Rice, and after much difficulty conveyed him into a shop close at hand, they standing at the door, defending him against the attack of the militia. A short time after Mr. Rice was taken to the house a number of policemen arrived, and escorted him back to the Bridewell ; but immediately after his getting inside a rush was made at the gate, which, however, was not fortunately closed in time to prevent any of the militia gaining admittance. Stones were theta hurled against it and the building itself, glass broken, and the riot was assuming a very serious nature, when Colonel Wood, with a party of armed men of the same regiment, arrived on the spot, and succeeded to some extent in quelling it. Previously to this a message was sent to the barracks for the military, and after some time a large party of them arrived at Bridewell, and formed a guard before the entrance. A large number of the militiamen still loitered about the place, and owing to their threat ening demeanour it was deemed advisable to leave a guard of the military there during the remainder of the evening. A number of the men were accord ingly told off for that duty, under the command of Lieut. D. G. Protheroe, of the 6th Regiment, and continued there until a late hour on Saturday night. THE MAILS.

The select committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the determination by the Government of the Galway packet contract sat for the first time yesterday—Mr. Gregory in the chair. The other members of the committee present were Sir J. Trollope, Mr. Walpole, Sir M. Peto, Mr. Peel, Mr. Ker Seymer, and Mr. \Vesthead Brown. The committee on meeting proceeded imme diately with the examination of witnesses, the first called being The Postmaster- Generai, who, in reply to ques tions from the chairman, stated that a committee was appointed in 1859 which made no report : it was reappointed in 1860, and then reported that it was not prepared to recommend the rescinding of the Atlantic mail steam navigation contract. The company commenced their service in June, 1860, two months before Parliament had actually con firmed the contract. On the 24th of April, 1861, a new agreement was made for suspending the Boston part of the contract, and in the following May a notice was served upon the company to the effect that the contract must be terminated. A concession, however, was made by the Government to the company that the service should be performed once a month instead of once a fortnight; and sub sequently that it should be relieved from the stipu lation that it should perform 46 voyages, the com pany not having vessels to execute the contract. In October, 1858, the company had a bubmidy for the conveyance of mails to St. John's. The vote for the subsidy took place 16 months after the company's centred commenced. 'lke directors agreed to deliver all mails at Newfound land as long as they continued to receive the eub• sidy of £8,500 ; but the subsidy was to cease unless the Imperial Government contributed in addition the sum of £4,500 a-year. On Nov. 20, 1860, a letter was sent from the Post-office annulling the contract for the delivery of mails at St. John's, but that was when the company had failed in perform ing their contract, and, in point of fact, had not any ships to perform it. He considered it his duty to clear up all doubts as regarded the St. John's contract when giving a concession postponing the chief eontract. He had a right to claim that the St. John's contract should be determined in March, 1861, and that was the opinion of the legal advisers of the Post-office, but he knew that the company entertained a different view of their obligations in reference to the St. John's contract. By Mr. Peel—The contract in oar judgment, had been already terminated in consequence of the com pany not having some time before despatched a vessel on the separate service, or asked for any con cession on the subject. The dispute was whether the colonial subsidy should be received by the Govern ment or the company. My impression was that, if the Colonial Government contributed anything, it should o the Imperial Treasury in diminution of the cost of the home service, but it was only after I determined not to consent to a suspension of the contract unless the company acquiesced in our view of the matter. By the Chairman—There was a great differ ence between us and the company in re gard to the delivery of mails at St. John's. They considered that they were only bound to deliver telegrams, but we considered that they were bound also to deliver mails. I understood that it required asmuch care in the transmission of tele grams as of mails, and that was one of the grounds upon which I consented to a suspension of the con tract, inasmuch as the question had assumed an en tirely new aspect. By Mr. Walpole—The disputes in regard to the Newfoundland contract commenced at an early period, before the fulfilment of the imperial service began. By Mr. Peel—The company always contemplated commencing the service in March, 1861. When they asked, on the 7th of November, that it should be suspended, they repeated their confidence that they would be able to carry out their contract in March. I agreed to the suspension on the condi tion that they entered into an agreement that, if they were unprepared then to fulfil the contract, it should become null and void. It was a great ad vantage to the company to release them of the con tract in the winter months, and enable them to commence it in the summer. There was no reduc tion in the recompense, but they were not to receive a subsidy for any passage they did not perform. As far as my experience goes I know of no analo gous instance. By the Chairman—l imposed penalties for delay of time in all cases save one, that of the Parana, but they were the ordinary penalties imposed in such cases. In all nautical matters in connection with the company we consulted the Admiralty. The company received more indulgenee at our hands than ever was previously granted. There may have been indulgences to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, but if so it must be borne in mind that it whenwa ß s y in i Sirhd infancy indulgences jgoehnnce o Ts rmo o igoh c pt e e an —be i T c f ha s ie t r e lapymo extended.s c t o a m l m u n servicec a t on, a 9 formerly under the superintendence of the Admiralty and of hec t h h a e ir Pt- o ni z a s n_ ffic e m re . delay of the Connaught off im s p t o . s s e o d h a n penalty for the y and not for o fog. . w t h e t c h o e m y p w a n e y r e r po not responsible, esented tha s w ° wa sieagdtol a f but i I declined to entertain it. I did not consult the Admiralty on the subject. By I\lr. Peel—lt is quite clear that even if the extension of time were allowed the company w o u ld n ot have been prepared at any period in June to perform the service. At this moment the only vessel they have fit for service is the Adriatic. It is per fectly clear that the Columbia and Hibernia are not in a condition to perform the service, and I am told they will not be ready for some months. Under all the circumstances I came to the conclusion that it was better to put an end to the contract than to go on longer in the unsatisfactory manner we had done. An irregular postal service is, in my opinion, as bad as none at all. I cannot help thinking it a fortu nate circumstance that the Hibernia met with her accident in the home seas, I firmly believe that if she had encountered the same storm in the Atlantic she would never have arrived at her destination. Everything we have heard of the Connaught shows that she was leaky and in a very bad condition be fore she was destroyed by fire. Mr. Valiance, solicitor to the company, was then examined, and detailed the particulars of the contracts entered into for the build.ng of four ships for the company. They were to be delivered, before the period fixed for the commencement of the com pany's service, far in excess of the requirements of the Post-office, both in tonnage and power. Several surveys on the ships were ordered during their con struction. The Columbia and Hibernia were now in the hands of Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, with instructions to make them in every respect fit to pass the strictest survey of the Board of Trade and the Admiralty. The examination of Mr. Valiance was not con cluded when the committee rose. THE NA I' - --.-- A series of photographs are being taken at Ports mouth, by orders from the Admiralty, for the use of the Iron Plate committee, of the sample armour plates for the Achilles and Valiant, lately tested at Portsmouth, in the presence of Mr. Fairbairn, Dr. Percy, and other members of the committee, by the Stork's 95-cwt. smooth-bore gun, and which have been taken from the sides of the Sirius, target ship, for the purpose. The views are taken back and front of each plate, so that an accurate idea may be formed of the nature of the fractures pro• duced by the shot. At the second "contractors' trial" of the engines of the screw steamship Howe, 121, outside Ply mouth breakwater, which took place on Monday, a mean speed of 13,569 knots was obtained. This rate is said to be unexampled, and exceeds by nearly half a knot-4-10ths—that obtained from the sister ship Victoria, 121, at Portsmouth. On the first trial the weather was rather boisterous. On Monday there was a favourable light breeze from the north-west, The experiment was conducted under the supervision of Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., Commander John E. Risk, and Mr. James Steel, from the guardship of steam ordinary Indus, 78, and Mr. Prickett, chief engineer of Keyham Steamyard. Mr. Holiday represented the contractors, Messrs. John Penn and Stn, of Greenwich. The trunk engines of the Howe are of 1,000-horse power nominal ; they can be exerted up to 1,600, and on Monday were worked to an indicated power of 4,600. The four-boilers are tubular ; furnaces, 32 ; pressure of steam on boilers, 201 b. ; mean pressure on the piston, 241 b. Maudslay's shifting propeller was used ; diameter of screw, 20 feet ; pitch, 28 feet ; mean revolutions, 571 ; maximum, 58. The Howe is not yet supplied with masts or guns ; her draught forward is 20 feet 6 inches; aft, 22 feet 9 inches. On the first trial the indicated power was 3,951 horses ; speed, 12.296 knots. Since then some slight alterations have been made in her machinery. Some experiments were made yesterday at Ports mouth with a new description of diving apparatus, which dispenses with the air-pump. They will be resumed to-day. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—W. D. Story, master, addi tional, to the Asia, for the Orpheus ; C. C. Scott, master, additional, to the Indus, for the Buzzard ; Adolphus De J. Sutton, master, additional, to the Asia, for the Medea ; Dr. Thomas Milne, assistant surgeon, confirmed in the Renown ; J. J. Blumden, engineer, to the Cumberland, as supernumerary ; Edward Parsons, engineer, to the Griffon; A. An drews, assistant-engineer, to the Griffon ; and B. T. Brierley, acting assistant-engineer, to the Griffon. THE ARMY. The examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, before Major-General Knollys, the Vice-President, and the members of the Council of Military Education, com menced on Monday last with the medical examina- tion, at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. Owing to the large number of candidates (about 250) a portion are to be examined at King's College. There are vacancies in the Royal Military Academy for be- tween 60 and 70 successful competitors. The exami. nation will extend over three weeks, terminating on the 18th inst. Col. Charles Bingham, the Deputy-Adjutant- General at head-quarters, in a general regimental order, dated the 29th ult., announces the following changes, &c., in the Royal Artillery : It having been decided to form an Artillery Depot at Warley, his Royal Highness the General Com manding-in-Chief; with the concurrence of the Secretary of State for War, has been pleased to appoint the following cfficers to do duty at that station, viz. :—Brevet.-Col. J. T. Leslie, C.B. ; Lieut.-Col. Edward F. Hay, retired Indian service; Adjutant, Mejor Francis Tower, retired Indian ser vice ; Paymaster, Lieut.-Col. S. J. Stevens, C. 8., retired Indian service; Assistant-Surgeon George Naylor, Indian Medical Department (while on leave in England). A Surgeon and a Quartermaster will be nomi nated hereafter. These officers of the Indian ser vice have been granted local rank " while employed at Warley depot," and are to be attached to, and to do duty with, the Royal Artillery, until their em ployment at that station ceases. The following transfers of officers have been ordered—viz., Lieut. Persse, from No. 8 Battery, 4th Brigade, to No. 3 Battery, 10th Brigade; Lieut. Wickham, from No. 3 Battery, 10th Brigade, to No. 8 Battery, 4th Brigade ; Lieut. Grant, from No. 9 Battery, 4th Brigade, to No. 6 Battery, 11th Bri gade; Lieut. Edmeades, from No. 1 Battery, 11th Brigade, to No. 11 Battery, Depot Brigade ; Lieut. Tracey, from No. 2 Battery, 14th Brigade, to No. 1 Battery, Depot Brigade ; Lieut. Gardiner, from No. 7 Battery, 3d Brigade, to No. 4 Battery, 14th Brigade ; Lieut. Brown, from No. 4 Battery, 14th Brigade, to No. 7 Battery, 3d Brigade. Major Penn's Battery, of the 4th Brigade, with Assist.- Surg. Richmond and Veterinary Surg. Evans, has embarked at Liverpool on board the Great Eastern, for Canada. Capt. Smyth's Battery, 4th Brigade, has proceeded from Woolwich to Aldershott. Surg. Guy, M.D., has been ordered from Shorncliffe to Shoeburyness, and Surg. Rudge, from Ireland, to Shorncliffe. The undermentioned batteries have been reported as having embarked in India for England, and on arrival will proceed to 'Woolwich, viz. :—" D" Bat tery, Horse Brigade; No. 1 Battery, 13th Brigade; No. 3 Battery, 14th Brigade. The bead-quarters Staff of the 15th Brigade has also embarked for England, and the following batteries are under under orders, viz.:—Lieut..-Col. Besborough's, from Madras; Major Grant's, from Bombay; Major Craufurd's, from Bombay. Referring to War-office circular, No. 676, of the Bth of April, 1861, it is directed that the annual re turn of the state of cast-iron guns therein ordered to be furnished to this department on the Ist of June in each year shall be rendered in duplicate. The annual return called for by the Horse Guards' memorandum of the 17th of August, 1860, and the sexennial return of the state of all ordnance, usually transmitted to the Secretary of State for War, need therefore no longer be furnished. In the event of the return directed to be forwarded on the Ist of June having been transmitted to this department prior to the receipt of this order, a dup licate is to be forwarded without delay. It having been decided that cupolas for melting iron for Mar tin's shells shall be protected from the influence of the weather by painting, officers commanding Royal Artillery are informed that gun anti-corro sion is to be used for this purpose, and 51lb. will be required to paint each cupola and all its parts. Whenever the cupola is used anti-corrosion on those parts exposed to the heat will, of course, be de stroyed, to replace which 31b. only will be required, provided the cupola does not require to be entirely repainted. The requisite demand for materials are, therefore, to be put forward with the least possible delay, accompanied by explanatory statements, showing the numbers to be painted. Yesterday the chartered troopship Clarence, 1,250 tons, Capt. J. Watson, embarked the following officers and troops at Government-quay, Gravesend, for Madras :-2 men, 3 women, and 3 children, of the Ist (the King's) Dragoon Guards ; Lieut. W.

Yesterday evening a special meeting of this society, the last of the session, was held in St. Mar tin's-place—Mr. Crawford, the president, in the chair. A paper was read by Captain It. BURTON, en titled, " Ethnological Notes on M. du Chaillu's Explorations and Adventures in Equatorial Africa." The object of Captain Burton's paper was to confirt; by his own knowledge of the negro tribes in the central and eastern portions of Africa the charac teristic traits of the race men tigned by Mr. du Chaillu, and to point out the resdnblance between the negroes who inhabit the larger portions of that con tinent. He noticed particularly their generosity and hospitality, their fetish superstitions, their inheritance of property and slaves, and the can nibalism of certain tribes, two of which, on the eastern coast, he mentioned as being decidedly cannibals. Captain Burton expressed the opinion teat M. du Uhaillu's work was as authentic as it was interesting, and clearly showed that the negro character was the same oa the western coast of Africa as on the east. _ _ Mr. SIMMONDS said that after the continued virulent attacks on M. du Chaillu, in some of which doubts were expressed that he had ever visited the part of Africa he had described, it might be satis factory to the meeting if he read extracts from letters received from his brother-in-law in Gambroon two years ago, in which he remembered M. du Chaillu as having then returned from his explora tions in the gorilla country with a large collection of natural history specimens. Mr. Consul ANSON (a negro) took exception to Captain Burton's statements respecting the canni balism of the negroes of the east coast. He con. tended that cannibalism had never been proved, and that all the accounts respecting it depended on cir cumstantial evidence. He said that the negroes, who were shrewd and intelligent, having in numer ous instances found that white men visited them only to do them injury, naturally enough threw obstacles in the way of travellers, and might, for the purpose of disgusting them and inducing them to depart, pretend to eat human flesh, though they really never made it their food. With regard to polygamy, he agreed with Captain Burton in think ing it was rather a political than a social institu tion; and he mentioned that the King of Dahomey had 3,333 wives, there being a superstition that. if the exact numberwas not kept some serious calamity would happen. These wives were principally the relations of the minor chiefs, and by this means the political alliances of the King were maintained. M. DU CHAILLU, being called on by the chairman, said he should confine his observations to canni balism. Be had no doubt whatever that among the Fans they ate human flesh, and that they ate even the bodies of those who had died from disease. Mr. MALONE, a gentleman who had frequently made loud exclamations during the proceedings, rose in a very excited manner to make some objec tions to M. du Chaillu's work. He said that, as a scientific man, he denied the correctness of the statement that a negro harp was made of fibres from the roots of trees, for it was impossible to ob tain a musical note from such a substance. He said that though he had only read extracts from M. du Chaillu's work, he had seen sufficient to convince him that the compiler of it had collected the mate rials from other sources than M. du Chaillu's notes, to make a readable book, and ho thought the state ments in the work could not be relied on. He was proceeding to make other observations to the same effect, when Mr. CRAWFURD interrupted him, and said he must confine himself to the subject before the meeting. Mr. MALONE then said lie would first ask M. du Chaillu it he had seen the harp stated to have been made with the roots of a tree ? M. DU CHAILLU rose evidently much excited. He said he should not, in the presence of ladies, make such an answer to the abusive remarks of the speaker as they deserved. There were many persons who dared to vilify au author who were afraid of pistols. (Cries of " Order.") M. du Chaillu afterwards rose to say that he had seen the harp the strings of which were made from the fibres of roots. _ _ •. Capt. SNOW said that though a friend of the wild man he could not deny that in many parts of the world the natives eat human flesh. After some observations from Mr. BURKE and the CHAIRMAN, meeting adjourned till November. FRACAS BETWEEN M. DU CHAILLU AND MR. MALONE.—At the close of the meeting, when many of the audience had withdrawn, but whilst the room was nearly half full, M. du Chailln stepped over the benches and chairs to where Mr. Malone was standing, and after touching him on the shoulder, held his fist in a menacing manner to his face, and, after asking him how he dare speak of him in the manner he had done, he spat in his face. Mr. Malone, in great astonishment, said he must call for protection from the chairman from such an outrage, and was retiring for that pur pose when M. du Chaillu called out " Coward," " Coward!" There were several ladies and gentle. men close to them, but no one interfered, and M. du Chaillu then left the room. ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PROTEC- TION OF LIFE - FR - 031 FIRE. of the friends and sub scribers annual t o th i s society fleeting was held yesterday in the Council Chamber at the G u ildh a ll. Th e L or d Mayor who presided, said this meeting wa s h e ld at The e a most interesting period of the society's• existence, when the public attention had been so excite • dby the recent great calamity. The SECRETARY (Mr. Sampson Low) read the report for the year ending March 31. This showed that during the year as many as 507 fires had been attended by the society's fire-escape conductors, and 61 lives rescued by their means. The number of stations now maintained by the society is 73, situated at half-a•mile distance from each other— from Holloway to Kennington, north and south; and from Poplar to Kensington, east and west. At each station there is all night a conductor and his fire-escape ready for action when called upon. The force comprises 76 conductors and four inspectors. Subsequent to the date of the report, it was stated, as a striking proof of the necessity for everything being ready for instant action, that twice during one month had a fire-escape in the ordinary quietest districts, and after 12 months inactivity, rescued from death at the two fires five lives that would otherwise have been sacrificed ; again that within six weeks of the establishment of a new station its conductor succeeded in rescuing six persons. The balance-sheet showed the receipts, by donations and subscriptions, of £7,842 16s. 2d.; and an expendi ture of £6,387 6s. 2d., for wages, machinery, and rewards, and the whole expenses of management, £630 16s. a The report having been adopted, The LORD MAYOR presented the rewards, which consisted of silver medals, testimonials on vellum, and amounts of money varying from 10s. to £2, to 14 fire-escape conductors, one of whom, Edward Dunk, received two testimonials; another, William Rickett, a silver medal; to three firemen, to 17 police inspectors, sergeants, and constables; and to 11 civilians, for having by their intrepid conduct been instrumental in rescuing human life from destruction by fire. Two silver medals were also given to James Jackson and Thomas Martell, for their bravery in rescuing a man from a burning boat during the late great fire. A resolution, expressive of regret at the sad fate which had befallen Mr. Braidwood, and sympathy with his family for their loss, was also adopted.

RETURN OF MR: LAING - 10 ENGLAND. The following letter from an experienced Calcutta merchant gives the latest impressions current as to the probability that Mr. Laing may soon find it necessary to return to England, and offers some practical suggestions regarding the steps that may become necessary from that circumstance. It like wise describes the effect produced by the break-up of the recent opium speculation : " Calcutta, May 19. " By the mail of the 4th of May you will have re ceived the particulars of Mr. Laing sbudget, and have learnt how much pleased allherewere with it s and at finding our financial difficulties disappearing directly' they were grapped with determination. The follow ing mail took the Government Gazette, containing the particulars of the native regiments ordered to be disbanded or reduced in number—a tangible proof that Government was really doing what it had promised. The same Gazette contained a notice of tie immediate reduciion of the import duty on cotton yarn to 5 per cent., the forerunner, as we hope, of further reductions in a like direction, and of a relief to our Manchester trade, now unfairly weighted with duties of 10 per cent. in the race with the native manufacturer, who pays nothing. '•I grieve to say that we seem lik e l y to lose the man who has done so much for us, and from whom e hoped for so much more. Mr. Laing has been suffering severely from that terrible disease—dysen tery, and has just left this to cruise about that sea in the Government steamer Australian, The last accounts are that he is somewhat better, a n d I hope he may recaver his health entirely, and come back to Calcutta, but it is very generally said that unless he does so soon he will continue his voyage and go back to England. He has done much in a short time, but much more remains to be done, and I fear we have no one in India to do it unless it be Sir Bartle Frere, our President of the Council. He has high character, ability, and energy—the last an attribute so often wanting in old Indians,'—and may perform great service, aided by Mr. Temple, one of our ablest civilians. Mr. Temple is a member of the Military Finance Commission, to which we owe so much, and was designated by Mr. Wilson as First Commissioner of Currency under his currency scheme. Both of these gentlemen have, however, abundance of work to do already, and if Mr. Laing cannot return we shall again have to look to England, though it may be doubtful if a third man will readily be found to come out. You should, however, if possible, send us a younger ' Chancellor of the Exchequer.' Both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Laing were somewhat too old to confront an Indian climate after long years of hard work in En gland. But very many younger men and men of middle age come out here, and have their health well. lam an in stance myself, for I came out here seven years ago, and, with the exception of a short illness at first, an acclimatizer,' I have been very nearly as well as in England. Whoever comes should be sure to come out in the cold weather, and, though he must lay his account to work hard, let him be de termined not to work too hard, and to avoid as fir as he possibly can working at night. You may work at night in England, but it won't do here. Anybody coming out here should, as far as possible, do what we merchants do—have some one to help him, some one to whom he can confide all his plans, and who can supply his place if illness forces him to leave suddenly. His mind is then more at ease, and if illness attacks him he can be off sharp' to the Neilgherries, to Ceylon, China, or anywhere else where he can recruit, and then return to his work. Chancellors of the Ex chequer may not be able to do this so easily as partners in a firm, but something of the sort may be possible. I have given you my ideas on this matter, because I fear we shall want to import a new financier, though I trust it may not be se. Happily Mr. Laing has put matters in geed train, and has given such an impulse to the machine, that it will I hope, continue to work though our engineer leave us. But we shall want him back, or another engi neer to supply his place. "We have nothing new in the financial way lately, except a report to Government by the 'Civil Finance Commission' as to the working of the Go vernment Stationery-office. They suggest such alterations as will, they say, cause a saving of some £30,000 a year, and the Government has ordered all their recommendations to be carried out. If these things are done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry ?' If £30,000 a year can be saved in stationery, what can be saved by proper economy. in the whole administration of India ? The report is a perfect curiosity, and I feel tempted to Eend it to Punch. The whole matter would be laughable were it not too serious to see Low money has been wasted. " I have said, when writing before, that the prices of opium must greatly affect our financial position, and that if they kept up, they would afford a large additional supply to Mr. Laing, and be likely to give him a good surplus by the Ist May, 1862. We are having a thorough illustration of the difficulty there must always be in calculating on this source of revenue, and of Mr. Laing's judi cious conduct in taking only the prices of last year in his calculations for the present. One daring speculator, a native, who had not a rupee a short time ago, and who had been very successful in operating for a rise,' made a great deal of money, and in the April sale bought up the whole of the Patna opium. Prices advanced, but, not satisfied, he bought all the Patna in the May sale likewise, The value of the two may be taken roughly at some £600,000. This loss proved too heavy for him. He has borrowed right and left, at all sorts of rates of in terest, has forced sales at a great loss, and has ended by stopping payments. In the May sale Patna opium averaged 2,576r5. a chest—an advance of nearly 10Ors. on the April sale, and he has sold as low as 2,lsors.—probably lower still, in his despe rate efforts to keep himself afloat. What prices will settle down to remains to be seen, but it is pro bable that next sale on the Bth of June will go con siderably lower than that of May. As Mr, Laing's estimate was at the price of 1,748r5., he is still con siderably under the reduced value; but when a ' crash' of this kind happens one hardly knows what the 'effect will be. I have alluded to this matter, as it will show you the sort of specula tions going on here (though this specula tion has been on a scale never before known), because it must affect the Government revenue, and also because I fear it may to some ex tent influence unfavourably our import market. Too many of our buyers of shirtings, metals, &c., will speculate in opium ; or, if they don't do this, they will lend to speculators at usurious in terest money which they ought to pay to us for goods sold. At this moment our bazaar is all wild and a good deal of mischief may follow. I have no pity for the opium speculators, who are a perfect curse to the merchants, and eventually this tempest will do good and clear the atmosphere. For some time past our import market has been sadly in terfered with by these opium gamblers, and now it is likely that Manchester will have to be patient for a time, and not be surprised if sales are few and remittances not sent on as freely as usual. We shall hardly know at first whom to make new sales to, and find it difficult for a time to get money in for what is already sold." [ADTERTISEMENTI-11oll0way's Ointment and Pills.
