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 Westminster. The Lords of the Treasury, in a special minute, observe that it is clear from the premises -I-1. That Sir Charles Barry accepted a certain proposed sum, after a distinct refusal of explanation regarding the principle on which it was proposed ; 2. ThP...l; he was well aware at the time that it was far short of the usual remuneration to archi tects ; and, 3. Twat he well understood that it was ic terlded as the 'abode remuneration which he was to re ceive 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 &aims. Their Lordships accordingly concur in the recommenda tions of the First Commissioner of Works, and desire that Minister to govern himself thereby. These are to the effect that Sir C. Barry do receive, as a further re muneration for services connected with the warming, lighting, and ventilating arrangements, a sum of 4,9251, and that an allowance for measurement of 1 per cent. be for the future 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 conclusion their Lordships feel it right to observe that when they agreed to a pay ment to Sir C. Barry at a late of 1 per cent. for mea suring they had before them a report of the Board of Works, whence it appeared that if the measuring were conducted under the direction of the board the remune ration to professional measprors for the work would be made by "a commission varying from to per cent." Their Lordships therefore consider that in allowing Sir C. Barry 1 per 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 circumstan ces , th e y w ill have conceded paT tlienta to him considerably exceeding the sum to'which lie would have been entitled for the mere duty of measuring.

The object of the writer, who has evidently given great attention to the subject, and possesses a vast knowledge of the requiremeuts of India, is to prove the practicability cf the opinions set fbrth by General Chesney for the junction of the Medi terranean and the Persian Gulf via the valley of the rhfer Euphrates."

The report of the Postmaster-General of Canada for the year 1854-5 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 added to the 1,166 already existing, and deducting 4 closed, 1,293 wore in actual operation. 1,165 miles of new post route were added to the establishment, and 543,945 miles to the annual total of mail travel, which, at the late to which the report is made up, amounts to 4,559,761 miles. In 1851, the postage was reduced from a high pro gressive scale, according to distance, to a uniform rate of id. currency (21d. sterling) per half-ounce. In the year terminating the sth of April, 1851, the number of letters passing by the post was 2,132,000. The reduction of the postage charge was at once sensibly felt, for during the year ending the sth of April, 1852, the number of letters was 3,729,752, showing an increase of 75 per cent. over 1851 • year ending April 1, 1853, 4,258,51'2 ; 1854, 5,114,200 ; 1855, 6,066,692. It is estimated in the report that the returns for the year 1855-6 will show that about 7 millions of letters will have passed through the Canadian post. The total postage revenue for the year ending Ist of April, 1856, was 110,7471., from which has to be deducted 16,4491. for British !packet postage to Great Britain, and 2,2561. balance in hands of. postmasters, leaving the net revenue at 92,0111. Th4o'total disbursements were 121,9621. The available receipts of • postage were 11,0411. larger than 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-offices and routes established, the large additional mail service provided to meet the urgent requirements of the country, upon the progressive advance in all parts of the nrovince, the cost of all descriptioncof mail transport, the payments for railroad service, the commission payable to postmallters — On - the increased' stage collections, and the augmentation which it became necessary to allow in thOcompensation paid to postmasters, clerks, mail conductors, and other officers employed in the department. To meet the deficit of 29,2201., there remained upon the grant 0f.1854 of 20,0001., after deducting the arrears of 7,1701. standing against the department on 31st March, lelsl, a balance of 12,8291. applicablie to the purpose, leav ing yet to be provided for 17,0901. Notwithstanding the important redaction made in the postage rate between Canada and the United Kingdom in Ifarch, 1854, the continual growth of the intercorrespond ence 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 Ist of April. 1854 (when the rate per half-ounce was is. 2d. sterling) was 17,495/. ; whilst for the year ending Ist of April, 1855, 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 illarch, 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 reduetipn in the charge on letters passing through the English posts between Canada and France, from 2s. 8 d. cy. to is. Bd. cy. per ,} oz. letter, was made, and a further ♦aluable improvement has since taken effect under an arrangement concluded by the Bri tish and French Governments for the interchange between Canada and 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, 26,2111. ; 1854, 32,4801.; 1855, 36,344/. The number of dead letters in the year 1854-5 was 151,504; in the previous year, 148,314. On the Ist 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 81 of the principal post-offices in the country. At first, as an experiment, the amount for which a money order could be issued was 101., with an uniform charge of Is. 3d. upon each order. The course of operations was carefully watched during the three months following the Ist of February, and 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 per cent. Ac cordingly, on the Ist of May, 1855, these alterations were introduced and simultaneously the operation of the system was extended to 73 additional offices. The propriety of the modifications thus adopted has been apparent in the impulse given to this branch of the Post-office department. The operations of the let year to let Feb., 1.556, show a tots' of money orders issued amounting to upwards of, 160,0001. ; and at the rate of business transacted at the date of the report it may reasonably be anticipated that the amount of transactions fur the second year will reach the sum of 400,000/. One-half of the charge made on issuing an order is re tsioed by the issuing postmaster (except at the city post offices), in compensation for his trouble, and the remainder is appropriated to the general expenses of this branch of the establishment. As yet the revenue thus derived has been inadequate to meet these expenses - but this was to have been counted on as inevit a ble on the commencement of the undertaking. With the increase of business which is now being realised, this state of matters will, it is ex peeted by the Postmaster-General, soon disappear. At the same time that the operations of the Money 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 Legislature came into effect, by which the postage charge on all news papers passing by the post in Canada is abolished ; and as there is no stamp duty on newspapers in Canada the Go vernment derives no fiscal benefit from their existence or culation. The Postmaster-General thus winds up his interesting report : I cannot conclude without testifying to the ability and unwearied seal of W. 11. Griffin, Esq., in the discharge of the varied and responsible duties which necessarily devolve on the permanent first officer of this department. I have also groat pleasure in stating that the other supe rior officers, inspectors, and deputies, in their ready efforts to give effect to the improvements from time to time de vised by the department, and to carry out its instructions, are justly entitled to my warmest thanks. The duties imposed on deputy postmastels are always onerous, and frequently call for the exertlise of great vigi lance and care, With an unceasing regard for the interests of the department separate from the particular duties of the local office. They form a chain of coremunie*tion by which a gradual expansion of the postal system is effected, and aro constantly found to be most useful in siding the department to guard against the various accidents and hindrances which must occur in a new country embracing a territory of 1,300 miles in length. In the ordinary work ing of the system, information respecting missing mails and lost letters, in the development of the Money Order branch, these officers frequently supply most efficiently the place of local inspectors, and confidentially communicate to the department information of the most valuable character. I desire the more particularly to make mention of the services of this class of officers, because, in a majority of instances, I am satisfied that the largest per cent age or money remuneration which can be allowed them is wholly inadequate to compensate for their labours, and that their devotedness in duties always responsible, and frequently irksome, must result from higher motives than those arising out of mere pecuniary coneiderations. CRIME IN SCOTLAND. A bluebook, just issued, contains sundry tabular state ments relative to crime in Scotland. The number of per sons charged with offences last year exhibits a decrease, as compared with 1854, of 364, or 9.114 per cent., but nine counties exhibit an increase —viz., Aberdeen, Argyle, Caithness ' Inverness, Kinross, Selkirk, Stirling, Suther land, and Wigton, the total increase:being 18'551 por cent. ; `2,568 males and 1,062 females were committed for trial in 1855 ; of these 2,961 were tried, 2,728 convicted, outlawed, or found insane ; 852 convicted for the second time, and two sentenced to death, of whom one was hanged. The proportion of convictions to committals in 1854 was 75 . 488 per cent., and in 1855 75.142 per c en t. Th e p ro p or ti on o f acquittals was 24 . 512 per cent., and in 1855 24.848 per cent. 972 offended against the person, 377 against pro perty with violence, 1,836 against property without vio lence, 78 maliciously againsjiproperty, 124 against the cur rency laws, and 243 against other laws not particularly mentioned. The offences against the person have decreased 8 . 8171 per cent., offences against property with violence 31'2 per cent., those against property without violence 8 . 016 per cent., and other offences 041 per cent. On the other hand, malicious offences against property have in creased per cent., and fo rger y an d offences against thecnrran l cy 7 laws 42 . 53 per cent. In 1855 there were 474 males and 293 females who could not read nor write; 1,511 males and 691 females who could do so but imperfectly 486 males and 72 females who could do both well; and 77 males and 5 females of superior education. Among the criminals of superior education there is an increase of 5'1228 per cent. The sentences passed on convicts were— death, '2 ; transportation, 52 ; penal servitude, 174 ' • im prisonment, 2,133 ; flagellation, 10; fines, 257; and out lawry, 33. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETU.RNS.

The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle, Mr. Petley, master, R.N., commanding, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Woolwich, from which it is augured that an official, visit from the Lords of the Admiralty is at hand. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Highflyer was taken into clock at Portsmouth yesterday for repairs. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin, 10, Captain Willcox, C. 8., wont into Portsmouth harbour yesterday evening to prepare for being paid off. It is remarkable that Captain Willcox should have been forgotten in the recent award of the decoration of the Legion of Honour by the Zreperor of the French for services rendered by British officer's in the Crimea during the late war; two mates of Capta:in Willcox's ship have been awarded the honour, but he who commanded the mortar-boat squadron at the actual fall of Sebastopol is unaccountably left out of the distribution. We trust it is not too late for him to obtain his well-earned cross. Her Majesty's screw steam-ships Pembroke, 60, Captain George H. Seymour, and the Cornwallis, 60, Captaist George G. Wellesley, atrived at Plymouth yesterday ("Wednesday) mornine, from Bermuda. Left there, June 29th, the Powerful, Bt, Captain Thomas L.

The Pembroke was short of fuel, and is bound. for Ports mouth, to be paid off. The crew of the screw steam -ship St. Joan d'Acre, Cap tain George St. V. King, bent sails at Devonport on Tues day. She is appointed to go into Plymouth Sound to. morrow, and to, be in the Downs by the 28th inst Capt. Cleveland's No. 2 Company, 13th Battalion Royal Artillery, being the K field battery, consisting of four 6- pounder guns and two 24-pound howitzers, are under orders to embark at Woolwich on the let of August f r the Cape of Good Hope. Capt. Cleveland will also have charge of some detachments of other companies of the Royal Artillery ordered to the Cape to fill up deficiencies there. Major Hawkins's and Capt. Dennis's Nos. 1 and 2 Com panies, 7th Battalion Royal Artillery, are to proceed to Landguard Fort and Devonport to-morrow from Wool wich, for the twofold purpose of increasing the strength of those stations and of affording more accommodation at head-quarters, so desirable at the present moment. In the absence of Major Hawkins, who has not returned from the East, Captain Lascelles is ordered to take charge of No. 2 Company. The number of field train troops encamped and butted on Woolwich-common is still undiminished, and, together with the vast number of horses—exceeding 2,ooo—which are picketed around the encampment, form a source of much attraction to crowds of sight-seers. Sundry bat teries and troops of Horse Artillery, varying in number, are daily inspected on Woolwich and Plumstead 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 Deptford to Sheerness on Tuesday by the steam vessels Afriean and Monkey. The Emerald was taken into the fitting basin on the same day to be brought forward for immediate commission. The Brilliant, 20 guns, 'sailing frigate, Captain James Almyer Paynter, was put out of No. 1 dry deck at Sheer ness on Tuesday, and placed at the swinging buoy off the dockyard. She is ordered to be ready on the 10th of Au gust next. The Vigilant, new screw despatch steam-vessel, Com mander William Armytage, was put out of No. 3 dry dock, at Sheerness, yesterday, and moored in the fitting basin to complete her fittings. The Terrible, 21 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Capt. James J.

Vigilant, and Plover. The paddle-wheel steam-transport Lion arrived at Wool wich yesterday morning, last from Spithead, and landed :the remnant of her freight from the East. The horses were alnveniently accommodated with temporary deck stalls, s o that more particularly in this case was the rapidity ()h -air ruble with which the animals were hoisted and slung ashc, re by means of the ready process afforded by the hy draul, c 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 d es p a t c h, and without the slightest accident. A portion of the live freight brought by tho Lion, besides cavalry horses, consisted of a number of Russian sheep, goats, dogs, Ice., a huge hucopecl dromedary, and a five-horned sheep. The Lion is to p.-oceed to the Bight to-day to land her powder, consisting of about 200 tons. The transports Trent, Imperatrice, and Eamont have been discharged from the Government service. The Ann freight ship sailed yesterday from Woolwich with machinery for Bermuda. The Admiralty steam-yacht Vivid, Master-Commander Allen, on Tuesday, lying at her moorings off Woolwich dockyard, was run into by one of the Steam Navigation Company's vessels, the Trident. The Vivid's bulwarks having been somewhat damaged by the sudden collision, she was warned alongside the basin for repairs. Colonel W.H. Eden, Commandant of Chatham garrison, has issued the following garrison-order to the troops under his command.

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 steamer had left Shanklin she grounded, ' fortunately, at ba'.f•tide. After remaining on the rock for four hours, the tide rose and floated the steamer off without any NexioAl dazogge. 17,965,986 8 0 ::977,750 0 0 6,794,800 0 500,000 0 6,000,000 0 13,439,260 0 ENDED JUNE £ s. d. 19,941 4 91 213,177 1 21 20,234,000 0 543,200 0 0 769,800 0 26,734,000 0 0 49,569,376 15 3 30, 1856.

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 "Moms of the Palmer Case," in which it is alleged that a correspondence of an improper character had taken place between Lord 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 information, 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 hardly require notice, and the greatest wonder is hoer' such a production could have been admitted by you 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 yon 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 auy letter to, or held the slightest, communication with, Palmer, nor did he even know the man ; and so far from his having been discharged, he still holds the same situation of trust under his lordship ; and I believe I may venture to add, that be still enjoys the same confidence and esteem with which the noble earl has honoured him for so many years.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, JOLLA/ H. PEART. _ Whitewall-:house, near Malton, July 15th, 1856. The Illustrated Times is responsible for the report, and the editor of that journal has addressed a note to Mr. Scott, in answer to his demand for an apology, stating that a contradiction of the story will be given in the next number of the paper.

Last year Quince and Heroine (first and second) were my selection for the Stakes, and Barocino for the Cup. lam equally certain of success again, although in opposition to the betting.

LOWESTOFT GRAND REGA' The great regatta at Lowestoft, which, for some time past, has been anticipated with feelings of pleasure mingled with anxiety, took place on Tuesday ; but, was unexpectedly attended with a series of difficulties, which no exercise of foresight could have averted. For some years past this annual meeting has proudly enjoyed su preelacy over all *era reqd the meta mil if cubed XtSin --- ap4se;Xeist irangement, ancr. grew liberality of prizes - - could ensure amass,. this pi se. 7 ssaiSse u ely d e s served it. Amongst its list of: patrons v rose the Earl of Albemarle, the Earl of Yarhorougl, Lor d Alfred.Paget, A. Arcedeckne, Esq., the High She riff ;if the county ; Sir S. Morton Pete, and a great . slumber of malaise's; of Parliament , and other gentleinen. of distinction. Its committee was composed of maritime and. business men, and' prizes, amounting to 2201., were offered for compe ition. . • - The vveati.er was extremely An Let .it was almost a stark,calm ; the assemblage of visitors kr Ile excursion trains of the Eastern Counties, which 'were admirably condoeted, was brilliant and extremely lam "serous. Bands of music played throughout the day, and the scene was one of a, - peculiarly animated and pleasure ble character. Tho great feature of the day was the schooner race for a piece of plate, value 100 gs., to be sailed, for by yaciAs belonging to a Royal Yacht Club, no restrict ion as to sails or men, and no time allowed for to nnage ; t o thi s was added a purse of 30 sovereigns, to he saikd 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 par ie of 30 sove reigns, to be rowed for in heats by six-oared beach-gip s The fourth race, a purse of 30 sovereigns, to be sailed for by yachts not exceeding 50 tons, with )salf a minute per ton allowed for difference of tonnage. The fifth race was the Eastern Counties Railway Prize of 20 sovereigns, to be sailed for by yachts net exceeding 20 tons, half a minute time ; and the sixth race, a purse of 15 sovereieme, to he sailed for by river latteen and cutter boats, with half a minute per foot for difference of length.

Aquiline 55 ... Harwich ... J. Cartmall, Esq. The course was round a boat 15 miles to the south. ward and back. 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, advantaged by a "cat's paw," slowlymovinginfront, in which position they were lost sight of, and never again seen, although the umpires strained their eyes till dark. It was stated subsequently that the Aquiline had come in at night, but afterwards postively asserted that it was the Lalla Rookh ; and the prize had not been awarded when the reporter left Lowestoft yesterday.

When they made their appearance to round opposite the flag-ship, they came as follows : h. in. s. Glance Phantom 3 18 0 Thought The second time of rounding was as follows : h. m. s.

The Gig Race—This, a smart contest, was won by the Jenny Lind crew. The Latteen and Cutter Race—This, after a chapter of accidents, was carried off by the Enchantress. A misunderstanding shutting the others out. A grand dinner afterwards took place at the Royal Hotel, at which Mr. C. Stewart, a gentleman of consi derable influence, took the chair, in the absence of Sir S. M. Peto, who was unavoidably absent. Several officers of distinction, and others, were present, and the evening was spent with much harmony. A great many toasts were drunk, and duly responded to. PEDESTRIANISM. RACE BETWEEN WILLIAM JACKSON (THE AMERICAN DEER) AND GEORGE FROST, FOR 501.—The match between these metropolitan pedestrians took place, 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 contested, until more than three miles and a half had been accomplished, when the Deer had nothing further to fear from his opponent. who was completely " used up," and soon afterwards had to resign the struggle. The meeting 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 BERMONDSEY)AND PMILLIPS, FOR 201. A-SlDE.—According to announcement the match between these pedestrians took place on Monday, on Mr. Sadler's inclosed. ground, Garratt-lane, Wandsworth. The meeting was numerously attended. The distance they had to run was 120 yards. Since the makingof the match both men had been in rigorous training, and the result was that it would have been impossible for them to have been in better condition. Their partisans; were alike equally sanguine; although in betting Reed had the call, his backers freely laying the odds of 2to 1. The pedes trians had to start by mutual consent, and af';er some few false moves had been made, the men dashe I off in first rate style, the lead being slightly in favour of Reed. A gallant struggle ensued, the match being well su.tained on the part of Phillips until fully ore hundred yards of the distance had been accomplished, when Reed, who had evi dently moat speed and stamina, put on sonic additional " steam," and, despite the efforts of his competitor, went 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. CHEATER AND CHAPMAN,—Before the event was brought to a decision, these pedestrians tested their racing capabi lities to a spin of half a mile, the sakes amounting in the aggregate to 101. The race in itself proved of little or no interest to the spectators, for a more one-sided affair has seldom been witnessed. On starting, the lead was taken by Creater, and so superior did ho 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 winning, pulled 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.—Oa Wednesday morning these amateurs contended, in a spin of 100 yards, for a small stake, at Wandsworth, when G-arrington, after a well-contested race from end to end, defeated his com petitor by two yards. The odds were 5t04 on Lee. CRICKET. KENSINGTON-PARK AND CLAPHAM CLARENCE CLUBS. • A match was played between these clubs at Kensington on Tuesday, and terminated again in the defeat of Kensing ton by three wickets. Score :—Clapham, 59 and 51; Kensington, 63 and 46. KENNINGTON AMATEURS AND SOUTHEND WELLINGTON CLUB. This return match was played on Tuesday last, on Ken nington-oval, when the Amateurs retrieved their lost laurels, they winning on the first innings by six runs. Kenningtou, 136 and 49 ; Wellington, 130. PUTNEY, VICTORIA, AND HAMPSTEAD ALBION 'CLUBS. This return match was played lad Monday, at Hamp. atead•heath, Putney being the victors. Score :—Putney, 74 and 99; Hampstead, 35 and 46 (with five wickets to go down). METROPOLIS ACT AMENDMEIfT BILL. This bill, as sent down from the House of Lords to the Commons, provides, by clause 1, that in parishes where Church rates were made in any opbn vestry, such power shall be exercised in the same manner as before the passing of the act of 1855. Clause 2 provides that nothing in this act, or in the act of 1855, shall affect vestries created for ecclesiastical purposes only. Clause 3. Other duties per formed by vestries shall be performed by the new vestries, created under the act of last session. The election of such vestries remains untouched, and remains the same as pro vided as by Hobhouse's Act and the act of 1855. Clauses 4,5, and 6 provide that compound householders may vote. Clause 7. The payment of parochial rates as a•qualification for voting shall not be taken to include Church rates.
