It seems strange enough that - in this free country, famous chiefly for skill in politics and for success in planting its race and institutions throughout the globe, the service of Government should enter so little int men's thoughts when, at the outset of life, they lock about them for a career. How seldom do parents cr friends in their advice to the schoolboy hold out to him the honours and promotionstof a public department ar an incentive to exertion ! For the great multitude of the active and energetic there is business in its many forms, the prospect of wining a competenee ur amassing wealth in the walks of private life, without any further interference with national affairs than is involved in sit ting on a jury or administering primary justice as a town magistrate. Then there are professions, more or less well paid, for the ambitious who will take their chance. Considering that the bar, as a body, probably spends more than it earns—that the church, without some pri vate fortune or positi ve assurance of preferment, holds out but a hard lot—that in medicine the extensive prat tire, with its rewards and fame, is a rare p r i ze , it i s wonderful with what an unfailing stream the educated middle class swell the old legitimate professions. For these the public school, the tutor, the university g ive th e ir i ns t ruc ti on ; through hope of success in these men of genius, education, and energy are con tent to pass the flowe r of their youth in severe toil and still more weary waiting—with NN hat results cf disappointment and bitterness is too well known. Yet, whether the Englishman looks to business or profes sional life, lie still thinks only of a private weer. It is not, as in some foreign countries, where a nen must form part of the machine of State or be cottent with inferiority. Here people by millions are contnt to be among the governed, leaving public affairs to be ad ministered by whoever may gain 'access to them and seize on those crumbs, of patronage which it not al lowed to every one to react;.. Such has been the state of things 'in England, and such it is even now; but already there are symptoms of a great change. People begin to reca4nise both their rights and duties.' In the first place the professions are overstocked, and there is a yearly increasing class of men issuing from our improved places of education, who are by culture and tone of mind averse from the pursuit of trade. The public service of the present day, re quiring no mean powers of mind, and presenting, if not the prospect of wealth, yet the certainty of a mainten ance, the assurance of an honourable and perhaps a hi;h position, together with the chance of great influence for doing good and the gratification of a praiseworthy am bition, becomes more and more "a great fact" to the community at large ; and not only are a more highly en dowed body of men anxious for admission into official life, but the public, which cares only for the proper administration of its affairs, is disposed to second their aspirations, The nation at large feel that they have stood too long apart from the proceedings of the official world. The inhabitants of a country like ours cannot safely look upon themselves merely as individuals thrown together by chance, and only concerned each man with his own pursuit of wealth or pleasure. They cannot be content with merely demanding security of life and property and the repeal of restrictive laws, leaving a limited class to carry on the business of State, and to preserve its power at the price of occasional con eessions and the use of a conventional language of libe rality. The country must be governed not only for, but by the public ; and that not merely at certain crises, by outbreaks of national feeling, having the character a'most of an insurrection, but constantly, regularly, and in de tail. A great step towards such a result is the opening of the Government offices and the chances of a public career to men recommended only by superior capacity and diligence. Whether we look on the change as affording fit employment to meritorious individuals or as insuring for the State a better discharge of necessary duties, we can hardly doubt the benefits it will confer. One part of the reform may now be considered as achieved ; the victory is half won ; the servic e i s , or will be, complet e ly o p ene d, an d we doubt no t that in a year or two the event will exercise much influence on the habits and education of the country. It remains to perfect what has been begun ; the internal organisation of the departments must be modified in ac cordance with the spirit of the new system. Attentive inspection of conduct, conscientious promotion of desert, selection of the best men for important places without regard to age or connexions, are among the duties of the statesmen who will superintend the various depart ments. In no branch of the service will a deficiency in these duties fail to be hurtful ; but we may cite the Co lonial-office as a department where there is the wildest field for a bold reformer. Hitherto it cannot be doubted that the distribution of the highest patronage has been distinguished neither by patriotism nor judgment. The frequent changes in the office of Colonial Secretary, coupled with many of the appointments made, would almost seem to intimate that each Minister was only anxious to embarrass his successor by giving him the most narrdw and impracticable men in the Country to deal with. Lately the necessity of conciliating inde pendent colonists has led to the substitution of better men in certain places ; Canada, Jamaica, and lastly Victoria, have had good Governors, and now, we be lieve, Sir ff. Barkly is to be succeeded in Jamaica by Governor Darling, of Newfoundland, a gentleman who has acquitted himself ably at several posts, and who commenced his career in the colony he is now to govern. But still it cannot be said that the vast machine of colonial Government has been worked on any sound and intelligent principle. The separation be tween the Administration at home and the staffs of the varieas colonies seems to us to be prolific of the same evils as the analogous practice at the Foreign-office. Men who have worked in North America, the West Indies, and Australia, are never brought to London to assist the Secretary of State with their practical know ledge, while the officials at home seldom receive advance ment to posts abroad which, from the insight they have gained in the administration of the colonial system as a whole, they could fill with a better directed energy and a larger breadth of view. In fact, the local and what we may call the Imperial administration have always been considered as two distinct careers, though it is evident that if we are to retain the idea of the British empire as unity the relation of the colonies to the mother country and to each other must be the highest and most neces sary study of those who would administer the affairs of those dependencies. We cannot wonder that a race of men placed at a distance from the governing country, with no political responsibilities, and engaged chiefly on the material concerns of life, should often look at things with a narrow and somewhat selfish view. Though Canadians, and Australians, and Cape Colo nists are, we believe, soundly loyal, though they respect and love the mother country, as we have bad good proof in the late war, though they fully appreciate the generous and self-denying policy of England, at least in the present generation, it is no matter of surprise that they should sometimes forget their correlative duties. and look only to the advantage of themselves and their own territory. The part, then, of the British Governor and his subordinates, the sole reason why they should be Englishmen, and not natives of the colony, is that they should intelligently and effectively correct these aberrations, and impress on the colonists how far they should subordinate their own impulses to a patriotic and large-minded Imperial policy. To do this fittingly what education is so necessary as that of the Colonial-office at home, where a wan becomes acquainted with the various characters and wants of many communities, and is able to show those whose waywardness is only the result of their want of information how the rights they demand may be wrongs to their countrymen in some other part of the globe, or inconsistent with the well being of tho mother country, which has created and which defends their society Yet, how often hitherto has a General or a Post -Captain been sent out, who hardly knows a British colony when he sees its name, much less the relations of the various dependencies to the mother country and the policy which it has been the desire of the most eminent statesmen to uphold ! Surely one of the men who has helped to adminis ter from London the affairs of some .50 of these wmmunities must have learnt something which will make him more capable than a military or political partisan who knows nothing of colonial or any other government ? And surely when a governor or local secretary has been in a colony for years be must have something to tell the department at home which is worth listening to, and might be fairly purchased by an appointment on the central staff? Now that we are really getting superior men in the public service, and testing them by severe examination and training, it is as well to turn them to account • for neither they nor the public will long suffer that they should have no better fortune than to labour in obscurity for the glory of their official chiefs.—Times. DREADFUL EXPLOSION. DORKING, Sunday. Yesterday (Satarday) this usually quiet and secluded town became painfully excited by a disaster which, in addition to destroying a large amount of property, caus ed serious, if not fatal, injuries to two or three persons. It seems that yesterday morning Mr. Knight, a sur geon and druggist, was in his shop, situated in High street, with a boy employed by Mr. Knight and a female domestic. Mr. Knight was, we understand, preparing a prescription, when all of a sudden a loud explosion took place. Several people rushed to the spot, when the poor boy was found fixed on some iron railings on the pave ment in front of the house. He was insensible, and the upper part of his body covered with blood, which flowed from a terrible wound in the head, caused by coming into contact with the iron posts, when he was blown through the window by the force of the explosion. The girl was found in the window where she had been forced. She was lying amongst the broken glass, and was very severely injured. Mr. Knight himself escaped with less injuries than the two other unfortunate persons. The damage done to Mr. Knight's premises is very consider able, and the force of the explosion was so great that several of the adjoining houses were much shaken and injured. The exact cause of the explosion is not known, but it seems to have been occasioned by an escape of gas. As soon as possible after the disaster medical aid was procured, and the wounds having been dressed, the un- fortunate sufferers were conveyed to their residences, where they now remain in a pitiable condition. INSPECTION OF CAVALRY BY THE COMMANDER-IN-C.HIEF. CANTERBURY, SATURDAY EVENING. The 12th Royal (Prince of Wales) Lancers, under the command of Colonel Tottenham, and the 6th Cara bineers, under the command of Colonel Jones, were in spected to.dey by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, Coteee;:, Chief. His Royal Highness was accompanied L y Adjutant-General Sir G. A. Wetherall, Sir Colin ~ .:fampbeil, and another general officer. Time did not permit, or it was proposed by some of the citizens to have presented a congratulatory address to his Royal Highness. The party arrived at Canterbury shortly before ten o'clock, and the duke, with the other generals, immediately jumped into a stanhope belonging to one of the officers of the garrison, and drove through the city to the Cavalry Barracks. Wherever his Royal Highness was recognised uncovered heads and waving of hats greeted his presence. It was remarked that the Duke looked exceedingly well, as did al-o Sir C. Campbell, who was the obeerved of all observers. Owing to its not being generally known that the Commander-in-Chief would pay a visit to the bar racks there ware comparatively few spectators present. The troops were drawn up in line in review order, in the exercise field at the rear of the Cavalry Bariaeks, and re ceived his Royal Highness with a general salute. Having carefully inspected the men (the bands of the two regiments playing alternately), the Commander-in- Chief took up his position with his face fronting the military hospital, when the troops were marched past in quick time. Tee general appearance of these two fine regiments was most imposing. They were then formed in close columns of regiments facing each other—the Commander-iii• Chief, with the other generals, occupy. ing the interval. His Royal Highness then addressed the officers and men, hut his remarks were totally in audible to the civilians present—so great a distance was kept unoccupied between them and the troops. His Royal Highness was unch . .rstood to express his high gratification at the appearance of the two regiments— old comrades in arms ; and the pleasure he felt in again meeting them. They were a credit to the service to which they belonged. He was sure they would prove themselves worthy of the high opinion that had always been entertained of them. His Royal Highness also adverted to the period when the Carabineers were under the command of General Jackson, and the Lancers under Colonel Stowe], and spoke complimentary of their past and present organisation and efficiency. His best wishes would accompany them to India, and he hoped ' to see them safely return again to their native land. The two regiments then retired in succession of troops, and the illustrious visitors proceeded to the mess-room of the Lancers, where they partook of a hasty luncheon, and then left for town. Ti:e first portion of the Carabineers leave here in the course of the present week for India. SUPPOSED MURDER. SHERRNESS, August 2. An inquest has this day been held at the Fountain Hotel, before Mr. Hill, the county coroner, on the body of a young man, aged about 23, whose death seems to have taken place under very suspicious circumstances. It was proved that deceased had on Wednesday last arrived here by the London steam packet. He hired a waterman to row him about the river for an hour in the afternoon, and for a similar time in the evening. De ceased then proceeded for a walk along Queenborough wall, and was not seen a li ve a ft erwar d s . Deceased 's hat (which was nearly new, and made by Chapman and Moore, Old Bond street, London) was found by Mr. Josiah Hall between half-past 9 a n d 10 o'clock that night under Queenborough-wall, immediately opposite to where the body was afterwards found. When deceased's body was first found two large rough stones, which had no doubt been taken from the sea-facing of the wall, were lying on the upper side of the body. Two witnesses state that on getting him out the stones fell off. The coroner immediately ordered one of the constables to proceed to the spot with the two men who first found the body to search for the stones. The constable and the men some time after returned with a number of large stones, all of which were found lying immediately under the water whence the body had been taken. The stones exceeded one cwt. Further evidence led the jury to suggest an adjournment until next Tuesday wee k , to give the constables an opportunity to make every in quiry. Deceased informed the man who had been row ing him about the harbour that he was in the service of a judge, and had left his place unknown to his employer. He stated that the sea air had done him a great deal of good, and on his leaving him to proceed along Queen borough-wall he engaged him to take him in his boat the following day. He appeared an intelligent young man. He was at the time sober. He drank nothing but gin ger-beer, and appeared in very good spirits. He further stated that his previous employer was the gentleman who personally commenced to break up the street paving in the High-street, Canterbury, for laying down the lines of rail at the time the city authorities forbade the railway company to disturb the Street paving. If publicity were given to these circumstances, the coroner and jury were of opinion it might lead to the identity of the unfortunate man who has apparently in some brutal wanner been suddenly launched into eternity, ITAJOR-GENERAL TUNDEfAM AT ROME. Nonvrreu,'Aug. I.—Major General Windham returned o his native county this afternoon, and was received with suitable demonstrations of enthusiasm and rejoicing from di classes of the public. The gallant officer arrived in Norwich at two o'clock by the Eastern Union Railway, .nd was received at the station by a guard of honour de ived from the artillery corps at present stationed in the city, the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Hastings, Lord Suffield, he Mayor (Mr. J. G. Johnson), several members of the Cow❑ Council, the tenantry on the estate of his family, ,nd the," reception committee" constituted to give eclat to he occasion. Several Crimean officers, who shared with he hero of the day the dangers and glories of the Sebas ,npol campaign, were also present. On arriving at the Guildhall, Gen. "Windham alighted, and the Mayor, on the , art of the Town Council, presented an address, which .vas agreed to at a special meeting held on Monday. A lrilliant company assembled to witness the presentation of ~ he address, to which General Windham made a suitable reply. NORWICH, Aug. 2.—The demonstration here in hon• ,ur of Major-General Windham wag concluded by a -trand banquet last evening in St. Andrew's Hall. The , cene presented in the fine old building was magnificent. 'even long tables were filled by 600 guests, the large Tchestra was occupied- by a - number of well-dressed ladies, and another party was accommodated on a dais behind the chairman. Mrs. Windham and several of the :eneral's more immediate friends were aitionk the latter. The pillars supporting the roof were hung with banners Ind other devices, and the words "Alma," "Bala clava," "Inkerman," " Sebastopol," &c., recalled the eorieus scenes through which the guest of the evening lad so triumphantly passed. The Earl of Albemarle presided, and was supported by Gar l Stafford, Lord Ha'stings, Lord Suffield, the Hon. AT. R. Roue, the Hon. E. T. Wodehouse, R.N., Sir W. Foster, Bart., Sir H Bedingfield, Bart., Sir E. Buxton, Bart., Sir H. J. Stracoy, M.P., Mr. Thirroufzhes, ALP-, Str. Gurney, M.P., Sir S. Bignold, M.P., the High Sheriff if Norfolk (Mr. R. K. Long), the Mayor of Norwich (Mr. J. G. Johnson), and a large number of the princi oat inhabitants of the city and county. 'There was also a fair sprinkling of red coats, and several Crimean heroes connected with the district. Among the latter may he mentioned Col. Hodge, 4th Light Dragoons ; Major Fellowes, 11th Hussars ; Major Cator, 68th ; Major Rellairs • the Hon. R. Ilarbord, 71st; Major Hoste, ; Major Strange, R.A., &c., &c. After the usual preliminary toasts, the CHAIRMAN pre 'ented to General Windham two handsome swords, sub cribed for by the inhabitants of the county, to mark heir admiration for his services. The one was a fighting mud the other a holiday sword, and the noble lord ex iressed his hope that for the sake of civilisation and hu (amity the gallant officer might hereafter wield only the 'andy weapon. At the same time he expressed his con ide,nce that if her Majesty should again require the ser 'ices of her army, General Windham would not draw he fighting sword in vain, but would give fresh cause for pride to the inhabitants of the county. (Loud cheers.) The health of the gallant general was then drunk amid enthusiastic cheering. Major-General WINDHAM, who was received with Fresh bursts of applause, returned thanks. After alluding to his associations with the county and his long friend. ship with many then present, he observed, I well re member an incident on the 18th of June, 1855, when the :fret attack on the Redan took place, which shows strongly the attachment of Norfolk men to their county. I was not what you would call employed in the attack. was merely put there in reserve, and I did not run a bit more danger than any of my friends whom 'see around •ne. I was sent at one time by Sir H. Bentinok to find out what was going on, and two or three yards ahead of me I saw a man walking is the trench. A round shot came and scattered the dust all over him. I thought it (lad killed him, but when the dust subsided I saw an in dividual reclining in the trench, with a countenance pre senting a curious admixture of fright and joy. Scratch ing his head he said to me, " Well, dash my buttons but that was most amazin' nigh !" (Laughter.) I said to him, "Aye, aye, my boy, we had better be digging •renches at threepence a rod in Norfolk than fighting here." The only reply was an expression of astonish ment that I should have discovered his native county. " What du yow to belong to Norfolk t " (The success ful manner in which the gallant general mimicked the Norfolk patois excited bursts of laughter.) Lord Albe marle has been pleased to pay me some very great 'mom pliments as chief of the staff. I honestly tell you, as I told the inhabit an t s o f L eam i ngton, that that office was not nearly so difficult as many would be inclined to think. I had, both at head-quarters and also in the divi sions of the army, a remarkably able lot of young officers to carry out any orders which the Commander-in-Chief issued • and though I know it is the habit, not of the press but of individuals who are in the habit of writing in the papers to constantly insinuate that every Bri tish staff officer is something next door to a fool, I beg leave to tell you that in my humble opinion after a few monlha' practice, which at the commencement of the war they undoubtedly required, they were just as efficient and just as good as the officers of the French service. I will appeal in support of this remark to the appearance of the two armies at the conclusion of the last winter. The magnificent appearance of the army, gentlemen, has nothing to do with me. I left the gene rals of division alone, and it is a remarkably good thing for any young soldier to know that you had better by far let a man do his duty without constantly interfering with him. (Cheers.) If I deserve any credit at all, it is because I allowed those who sought to do their duty to do it without interference. (Cheers.) I hope there is no officer on the staff who can ever say that I either gave myself airs, gave him a cold shoulder, or refused to listen to what he had to say, and that I did not im mediately do all in my power to make what he wanted go smooth and easy. The instant I saw he was in clined to do his duty properly, it did not matter much to me whether he took his own method of doing it or mine, provided it was well d one. (Cheers.) I believe I should say too much for human nature if I were to say there was no kind of jealousy at my promotion ; but I must honestly say that many of those over whose beads I have gone in the Crimea showed me personally no jealousy. One of the best as well as one of the oldest soldiers connected with the army there, Major-General Garrett, who served in the Peninsula when l was in my cradle, and who has been twice wounded, came up to me after my promotion had been announced, threw his arms, not like a Frenchman round my neck, but like an Englishman round my shoulder, and, patting the on the back, said, " Well, old fellow, I am charmed at it ; they sent you through a devil of a fire, but you did it well, and I should be un worthy of myself if I felt jealous." That fine old soldier has not been promoted, but most anxiously do I hope that both he and many others will be, for I am not one of those who wish merely to get on myself. I wish to do so, of course, but I wish also that others who have done—barring the luck—just as much service as I have, should, at the end of this great war, meet with some re ward. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave the other Crimean Heroes con. nected with Norfolk. The noble lord, in calling on Col. Hodge to return thanks, referred to his brilliant services at Balaklava. Colonel HODGE responded to the toast, which was drunk with loud cheers. Major-General WINDHAM, in proposing " Our Allies," said they bad always acted with the greatest cordiality and good feeling. The gallant general mentioned inci dentally that a week before the assault on the Redan there was no intention o❑ the part of either French or English to make the attack. When the French, how ever, decided on making the attack, the English Com mander-in• Chief could not do otherwise than allow the British army to partake in it. He (Gen. Windham) had never heard any French officer reproach the British with the results et their attack, and he might fairly say that the French had never exhibited any disrespect towards The CHAIRMAN, in giving the memory of the brave who had fallen in the war, referred to the melancholy deaths of Lieut. Boileau and Lieut. Sparke, both mem bers of Norfolk families. The toast was drunk in silence. Viscount Busy (son of th e c h a i rman ) , gave " Mi ss Nightingale and the ladies who have served their coun try abroad and at home." (Loud cheers.) Lord LIIFFIELD proposed the healthy of Mrs. Windham and her sons. (Loud cheers.) Major• General WINDHAM responded. Several other toasts of a formal character were given and responded to, and the company did not separate till a late hour. CURIOUS COMPOSITION. —The following is a copy of an advertisement published by the magistrates of a town in the north of England, to announce the purchase of a fire-engine.7"Wh?reas an unaccountable multiplication o f dangers is oftentimes occurred by damage of outrageous accidences by fire, we whose names is hereunto prefixed, have thought proper that the benefit of an Indian b o ught by us for the better putting ou t o f w hi c h, b y the Providence of that gracious goodness, which may unto us happen, to make a rat e to gather from Subscriptions in the aforesaid parishes for the b e tt er propagat i ng of s uch useful instruments in such eminent cases of ne cessity." SUICIDE IN A BARBE R'S Saturdaymorning, at about half-past 7 o ' clock, a middle-aged man e n t ere d the shop of Mr. Rose, a hairdresser, on St. Andrew's bill, City, and said he wish e d t o be shaved. Mr. Rose' s daughter was in the shop, i and she sa id that her father wo uld attend upon him n about a couple of minutes. He said it did not matter, and that he would shave him self. Be immediately took a razor from the mantel-shelf, and going to a corner of the room w h ere there was a stand containing a basin, with one d esperate cut he near ly severed his head from his body. An alarm was given by the daughter, and several persons were soon in attendance, but life was extinct. Upon searc hi ng hi s clothes nothing was found upon him to give the slightest clue as to who the man was, only 50. in copper being in his possession. He was about 36 years of age, 6 feet in height, with auburn coloured hair and bushy whis kers. Oa his left arm are the letter B and a star, and on the right Adam and Eve and a tree, and a mole on th. forehead. He was dressed in a dark check coat, grey waistcoat, black trowsers, and Wellington boots. Thr body was removed to the dead house, Holliday-yard, to await a ooroner'e inquest.

LANCASITIIth.—The weather which has prevailed dur ing the present week has been really beautiful, and every ,day of its continuance must add thousands of pounds to 114 e wealth of the nation. As we stated in our last, the heavy rains of last week were lees], for in other parts of the kingdom there was a lack of moisture ; but thew, rains have done little or no injury to the growing crops, while the hot sunshine of the present week is ripening the produce of the earth in the most satisfactory manner possible.—Liverpool Chronicle. DEVONSHIRE.—The harvest prospects of this county are the most cheering possible. In the neighbourhood of Exeter, and the fertile districts of Txnes, Ashburton, Ktngsbridge, and throughout the whole of the South Hams, the grain crops are most luxur'ant, and indicate an abundant harvest. Potatoes also 'ook well, and will, there is every reason to believe, be of a usual prolific crop. The disease has shown itself in some districts, but so partially and in such a slight form as not to ex cite alarm. Throughout the districts of Crediton, Barn staple, South Molten, and the fertile valleys of North Devon, the same cheering prospects present themselves, and if the present fine weather continues the corn har vest is expected to be general in a week or ten days. The hay harvest has been most satisfactory. NORTHUMBERLAND.—The weather since our last ha , continued exceedingly propitious, and a great quantity of hay has been safely housed this week in excellent con dition. A large proportion, however, still remains in the fields. The crops of cereals are advancing rapidly towards maturity, and under the influence of fine wea therand anticipated abundance the corn markets through. out the country have declined considerably, and show every appearance of a further fall.—Newcastle Chronicle YoaxsurßE. 4 *Wheat is looking remarkably healthy , and well, and affords the promise, if genial weather con tinue, of a full average yield. Other kinds of grain ex hibit a no less satisfactory appearance. Potatoes and turnips are growing luxuriouslr.-- Wakefield Journal. OXFORDSHIRE. —The weather has been sunny, very hot, and everything that can be desired for the corn. The wheat on the heavy land is ripening very well, and shows a rich yellow colour, and that on the lighter soil is just at the edge of harvest, and in a few instances the hook has been at work, the ear is well filled, and but little blight appears. The barley, of which there is a small breadth growing this year, looks well on the good soils, where it was planted early, and promises to be of fine quality and good crop. RUSSIAN CROWN DIADIONAS. (Front Galignani's Messenger.) The Crown treasury of the Czars at Moscow contains precious stones of considerable amount. The two most considerable are diamonds, one the size of a pigeon's egg, cut in rose. The Russians have given it the name of the Orloff. The other has the form of an irregular prism, and is of the size and almost the length of a little finger ; it bears the name of the Shah, and its history is as follows :—lt formerly belonged to the Sophie, and was one of two enormous diamonds which ornamented the throne of Nadyr Shah, and which were designated by the Persians by the names of " San of the Sea" and "Moon of the Mountains." When Nadyr was assassi nated his treasures were pillaged, and the precious stones divided among a few soldiers, who carefully concealed them. An Armenian, of the name of Shrafrase re sided at that • period at Bussora with his two brothers. One day an Affghan came to him, and offered for sale the large diamond the Moon of the Mountains, as well as an emerald, a ruby of fabulous size, a sapphire of th e fi nes t wa t er, ca ll e d b y the Persians the Rye of Allele, and a number of other stones, for the whole of which .he asked such a moderate sum, that Shafras suspected that they had not been honestly come by, and told him to call again, as he had not the money in the house. The Affghan, fearing Shafras was going to act with treachery towards him, left the place and could not again be found, although the three brothers made every search for him. Some years afterwards the elder brother met the man at Bagdad, who told him that he had just sold all bis precious stones for 65,000 piastres and a pair of valuable horses. Shafras had the residence of the purchaser, who was a Jew, pointed out to him, and he went to him and offered him double the price be had given for them, but was refused. The three brothers then agreed to murder the Jew and rob him of his purchase, which they did, and on the following day poisoned the Affghaes, and threw both the bodies into the river. A dispute soon atter arose between the brothers as to - the dieision of the spoil, which terminated in Shafras getting rid of his two brothers by poison, after which he fled to Con stantinople, and thence to Holland, where ho made known the riches he possessed, and offered them for sale to the different courts of Europe. Catherine 11. pro. posed to buy the Moon of the Mountains only. Shafras was requested to come to Russia, and he was introduced to the court jeweller. The terms demanded by Shafras were—letters of nobility, a life annuity of 10,000 roubles, and 500,000 roubles payable by weekly in stalments in ten years. Cunt Panin, who was then minister, delayed the settlement of the bargain as long as possible, and in the meantime had the Armenian led into such extravagances that he fell into debt, and when the minister found that he bad no means of paying what he owed he abruptly broke off the nego tiation. Shafras, according to the laws of the country, could not leave until his debts should be paid, and the court jeweller prepared to take advantage of his ern bairessinents, and intended that the diamond should fall into his hands fora fourth of its value. Shafras, how ever, discovered the trap that had been laid for him, and disposing of some of the less valughle stones among his countrymen, paid his debts, and disappeared. Agents were sent after him, who bad even orders to assassinate and rob him, but he escaped time. Ten years after, while he was at Astrakan, renewed offers were made to him, but he refused to enter into any negotiations unless the bargain should be settled at Smyrna. Catherine accepted, and became the possessor of the diamond for letters of nobility-600,000 roubles, and 170,000 paper roubles, making together about two and a half millions of francs. Shafras, not being able to return to bis country, where he would have had to give an ac count of two homicides and two fratricides; fixed himself at Astrakan, where he married a countrywoman of his, and had seven daughters. One of his sons-in-law poisoned him for the sake of possessing his share of his pro perty. The immense fortune which the murderer had acquired (from ten to twelve reillions) was divided, and soon spent, by his successors and several of the grand children of Shafras are now living at Astrakan in abject misery. THE RUSSIANS IN THE BLACK SEA. The Frankfort semi-official Post Zeitung contains the following :—" We have received from a high source of authority at Constantinople direct confirmation of the intelligence already given by the Vienna papers of the Russians having retaken possession of the Isle of Ser pents at the mouth of the Danube.. Here we have the first fruits of the Paris treaty of peace. This group of little islands is situated only a few miles from Sulina, and if they are allowed to remain in the occupation of Russia, it is all over with the free navigation of the Danube. The Serpents Isle was ceded with the rest of the Delta to Russia in 1829, without, however, any ape cial mention of it in the treaty of Adrianople, and re verts in like manner to Turkey by virtue of the stipula tions of the treaty of Paris. The one-sided conduct of Russia on this subject requires some explanation, for though they gained possession of it in spite of its not being specially mentioned in the first treaty, they now claim the right of keeping it on the ground of its not being mentioned in the second. In this way, the treaty of Paris is early submitted to a severe test ; let us hope that it will stand the trial, and that the free navigation of the Danube will not prove to be an illusion ; for the Isle of Serpents in the possession of Russia will upset the whole of the treaty, and ren der its stipulations nugatory ; for if Russia thinks pro per to extinguish the lighthouse, one half of the vessels bound to and from the coast will be lost on the dan gerous coast, and in a short time no captain will be found possessed of so much rashness as to risk the loss of his vessel at the mouth of the Danube, when ' he can obtain an equally high freight witb less danger on any other voyage., ~i/' I , .

Mr. Lawrence must have known that die lady war my wife, as I told him so from the first, and before I demanded satisfaction, and from my having been so much about Brighton I heard a great deal of scandal and lies, which I believed Mr. Lawrence had a great deal to do with. That was the reason which made me come to Brighton. I mean, lies in reference to me and my wife."

A ream& on the 30th of June showed the total capi tal nominally required for the new schemes introduced during the half year to be 23,490,0001. Of this about 11,000,0001. was the amount estimated as having been promised to foreign countries, while of the remainder only a small proportion was pledged to undertakings of a description to withdraw serious sums from the ordi nary channels of employment. The prospect, although not calculated to awaken anxiety, was such as to stimu. late caution. Nevertheless, although the public are dis posed probably to infer that this fact and the dulness of the money-market during the subsequent period have led to an abatement of the ardour of projectors, such has not been the case. Their demands have steadily in creased, and if any effect has been produced by the less buoyant state of prices it has simply been to prevent this increase assuming still more objectionable dimensions. The subscriptions invited from January to June ave raged 3,900,0001. per Imontli, and in July they have reached 5,370,0001.

Of the total of 5,370,0001., 3,125,0001., or considerably more than half, is destined to be drained from us to quarters whence a reflux will be very distant. 2,000,000/, is intended for India, al though the requirements for that country have for erre• ral years past produced a chronic pressure on the money market, which most injuriously affected our resources during the war, and the amount remaining to be; sat . thither was still inconveniently large. 470,000/ raised for Canada and Western America, apart from a further large sum understood to have been privately nes vitiated on the bonds of a railway in the repudiating State of Michigan ; 180,0001. is for Chili'; 190,000/, for mines in Italy and Germany ; 85,0001. fQr a land project in Hungary, and 200,000/, for a telegraphic communica tion with the East. Whether undertakings such as these can be entered upon safely at the rate at which they thus promise to be multiplied any person can judge who will avail himself even of the experience of what is now passing in Paris. A large majority -of 'theta are sound, and such as would he desirable if there were a prospect of an early pause in the number to be intro duced. But on this point there is little hope. It is certain that cue or more important railway lines are about to be brought forward under attractive con cessions from the Turkish Governnierit, and that Russia is deliberating on a comprehensive plan to obtain from the cap; talists of England and France the means to prevent, by a net-work of internal 'commu nications, a repetition of her recent failure. The first will be recommended by their commercial and political characteristics, and the latter by the existing prices of Russian securities, and as the guarantees in -each case will, of course, tie calculated to meet the condition of the money-market for the time, there can be little doubt as to their reception. Once commenced, with the pre sent facilities fur railway construction, they, nre sure to proceed with rapidity, and, although owing to the cti vity of her trading relations with England, the expels, diture in the case of Turkey would be likely to flew back freely, in Russia it would probably be hoarded with al most as much tenacity as in India. Under these cir cumstances, it is for the public to consider whether they should exercise for the moment a discriminating reserve. At all events, they should bear in mind, before taking every American or other debenture that may be offered. that the agents in the transaction are paid a large per centage for recommending them, and also that with re• gard to undertakings announced on the Stock Exchange the fact of their Leing quoted at a premium before the day of issue does not, except in large and unquestionable instances, afford the slightest proof of the value at which they will really stand.—Tintes' City Article, 50,000 100,000 50,000 70,000 180,000 250,0 0 500,000 200,020 85,000 50,000 10,000 The shipments of specie by the Peninsular and Orien tal steamer Ava amount to 675,400/ , of which 662,1001. is silver for Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, Penang, Singa pore, Hot, Kong, Canton, and Sh ang h a i, an d 13 , 3001 . gold for Ceylon, Madras, Calcutta, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Alexandria.
