PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF THE SAND - wica ISLANDS TO TUE UNITED STATES. The Paris Patrie states that the King of the Sand wich Islands has proposed to the Cabinet of Washing ton the annexation of those islands to the United States. The whole population are exceedingly anxious to be received into the American Union. GERMAN Y. The Kreuz Zeitung has published a criticism of the system of promotion in the Prussian army, in which it condemns the exclusive adherence to the system of seniority. It finds from an examination of the army list, that even the lowest rank of commissioned officers are filled by men at least ten years too old. Active service would find nearly all the generals of so advanced an age, that it cannot be expected they should be able to discharge duties requiring such activity of body and mind as those of the commander of an army in the field. " E-rery course of action contrary to nature punishes itself, and if in *his department of the army in time of peace, Aerious attention is not paid to what is necessary, instead of a tender regard to the u comfort of individuals, this one circumstance will surely plunge s at the first opportunity into some great catastrophe. A very pre judicial change has been permitted since M. von Boyen held office. Till that, time feur or five officers, whose powers had failed, were placed on the retired list. This practice has ceased, and those only get their retirement who apply fur it. There are at least 60 officers of high rank, who have encumbered the army with their inefficiency for eleven or twelve years, who would no longer be in it had the formerly existing practice been pursued. Formerly the feeling of despair at being placed uneer the orders of incapable men, and seeing the energy of youth despised even in subordinate posts, was balanced by the c hance of war and active service that might repair the error. But to the reflecting such a prospect must always be illusory; they know that an alteration of the system would only follow some great calamity produced by it. Experience has proved this; since the last mobilization, not only have all the incapa bles b e en left in their places, but some have been pro moted to higher rank according to their seniority. Nor could it well be otherwise ; in the moment when all is broken up there is no time for considering reforms. May this experience doubly warn us to act while there is time! There are no means of getting at once out of our present into a better one ; but that is no reason for despairing and giving no attention to the subject at all; but, on the contrary, to do what is possible with all our power. It is possible immediately to remove all who are generally reckoned incapable of service; to establish a system of promotion bawd on examinations and ser vices, and carry it out with justice and perseverance." MINING INTELLIGENCE: (From the Mining Journal.) The dealings in shares, during the past week, consi dering the abundance of money in the City unemployed, leave been very small-few shares, indeed, having changed hands. Alfred Consols, Devote Consols, South Tolgus, Spearne Consols, Wheal Basset, and Wheal Lovel, dividend mines, have been done at a trifling ad vance ; all others at lower rates. Bell and Lanarth, United Mines (Tavistock), West Polgooth, St. Aubyn and Grylls, West Damsel, East Beringdon, Trebell, Rhoswydol, Venton, Butterdoo, Wheat Golden, and Wheal Langford are ratherenerall more in stabs quo, and in favour. The rest little, on the second list, are gy doing, In the Metal Merket-Copper continues in excellent demand, both for home trade and exportation. Lead is still dull of sale. British Tin is in good demand, and a large business has been done: Foreign also is in request. at improved rates. Tin-plates have again receded in price. Spelter has been animated: 150 tons are re ported at 141 54.; sellers ask 141. 103. In Welsh Bar iron a moderate business doing, with an upward ten dency; Staffordshire more inquired for. In Scotch Pig iron some large speculative purchases have been made, and an advance of 61. per ton has taken place. Swedish Iron quite neglected.

Bar silver without gold, ss. Oid. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 91. per oz. standard. Fine cake silver, 55. sd. per oz. The silver lead miners are pleased to see the steady rise in the price of silver, however small. A further advance has taken place since our last publication, not withstanding the yield from several concerns in Corn wall, Wales, and elsewhere, is reported to keep up the average quantity. The directors of the Devon Great Cancels Mining Company, at their weekly board meeting, yesterday, de clared a dividend of 5,1201., being 5/. per share, from sales of copper ores sampled in July and August last.

Orders have been received by Admiral Sir John Ommanney, K.C.B , to the effect that if the Havannaia, 19, Captain Erskine, daily expected from Rio, touches there she is to be paid off at that port. THE DEPUTY COMPTROLLERSHIP. —The appointment of Deputy Comptrollership of the Coast Guard has not yet been filled up. Commander Sparshott'a funeral took place yesterday. Report still gives the vacant post to a Captain. Commander Baldock has been re-appointed Superin tendent of the Admiralty packet service at Dover for another year, within which time, in all probability, this service, the only one besides that between Marseilles and Malta which is carried on by Admiralty vessels, will be performed by contract. In consequence of the reports as to the disabled condi tio❑ of her Majesty's sloop Cormorant, 6, Commander Chamberlain, the Admiralty have ordered that vessel to be immediately sent to England from Rio. On her ar rival she is to be paid off. We have before announced that her Majesty's steam sloop Geyser, Commander Tatham, also on the Brazil station, had been ordered home by the Admiralty in consequence of the injuries she sustained by running ashore. Her arrival in England may be hourly ex pected, for she was to leave Rio on the 18th of Oc tober. She has been in commission only since October, 1850, STAFF APPOINTMENTS: We understand that it has been intimated to those officers on the Staff who have to vacate their appointments in consequence of the recent Brevet promotion, that it is not intended to make any change in respect thereof until the commencement of the financial year, viz., the Ist of April next. ORDNANCE APPOINTMENTS.—In addition to what we enumerated last week, the following appointments are to take plase in the Royal Artillery:—Colonel Colquhoun to the command in Ireland, vice Gordon; Lieutenant- Colonel Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster Ge neral at Woolwich, to be Assistant Director General. vice Chalmer. Colonel Wynyates, it is rumoured, will succeed Major-General Lacy as Director General of Artillery, and that Colonel Palliser will be brought home from Barbadoes, and put into some snug berth. A great deal of dissatisfaction exists at Woolwich with respect to some of the appointments recently made. MILITARY ON DlT.—The following rumours are abroad, but we think we may place confidence in the report :—Colonel Eden, C. 8., Assistant Adjutant- General, Edinburgh, to succeed Major-General Coch rane, in Dublin. Colonel Beresford, Assistant Adju tant-General at Cork, to succeed Colonel Simpson, Com mandant of the Garrison at Chatham. Colonel Griffiths, Unattached Assistant Commandant at Maidstone, has been appointed Commandant of the Cavalry Depot. It is now said that Lord Cathcart will certainly have the command in Ireland which General Sir E. Blakeney is about to vacate. DRAFTS FOR FORVION SERVICE.—Tbe Hope, trans port, is to convey the detachments under orders to join their respective regiments at Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu, and will be ready about the 6th of December. Colonel Sir John Wilson, Adjutant of Chelsea Hos pital, has declined promotion, having received intimation tbat he would only be allowed to continue to receive his half-pay of major. STAFF.—Captain Robertson, 71st Highland Light In fantry, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General of the Dublin district, has returned from leave of absence in England. LONDON RECRUITING DISTRICT.—We are confirmed in the opinion we expressed last week that Colonel Taylor, late on the Staff at Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, is to succeed Sir Richard Doherty as Inspecting Field Officer of the London recruiting district. JERSEY AND GUERNSEY COMMANDS.—The 81leeeSOT to Major-General Sir James Rsynett, at Jersey, and that of Major-General Bell, at Guernsey, will take place from the Ist of April next.

WHICH IS THE WAY TO GAO L ? County Gaol, at °Li the on, evening Wed nesday, two men were committed to theseC:ino Ipswich, from the Woodbridge Petty William Snowling Stearn, for 21 days, for taking a a fence, at Melton, to resuscitate a bonfire on the of the sth of November; and the other, William Cook, for two months, for an assault. In due course they were con veyed to Ipswich, handcuffed to each other, but Steam, ;;; high dudgeon at not being allowed some porter previous to re-occupying quarters with which he is well acquainted, managed to slip his share of the cuffs, and to give the Peelers" leg bail. Both the officers started off in pursuit, and though somewhat impeded by their great coats, managed at length to secure their runaway, who was safely deposited in priso❑.

The party made their appearance at the Town-hall, on Wedaesdiy evening, Miss Glyndon was plunging deeply into pantalettes, and Miss Gordon was illustrating the dress of olden days, catching the hearts of all the sparks in the company, when it was found that one, from a more unsentimental source, viz., a tallow candle, had caught the venerable hoop, and had sent up flames to play mortal havoc amongst the folds and fur belows. Happily a knight errant was at band to save, in the person of Air. Wood, of Brundon Mills, who rushed upon the stage, and, the perilled beauty falling, not into his arms, but into his great coat, which he wrapped rescuingly around her, was soon safe from further harm. The only injury was a slight burn on the arm, which was soothed by a liniment promptly poured by Mr. Maurice Mason ; and the fair Bloomers hitched up their trousers, like sailors after a tough action, and bore their wounded from the stage.—Essex Herald. CENTRAL CONNEXION OF METROPOLITAN RAIL WAY STATIONS.—Whether or not Mr. Pearson's be a sound and desirable p r oj ec t we nee d no t now d eterm i ne: there is much in it that wants explanation, and the cost, notwith standing what the projector said, would be enormous—but of this we are certain, that some plan should be adopted to connect the various railways. To speak of a terminus to a railway so long as there is any place farther on to be reached, has always seemed to ua absurd. If we wish to go from London to Manchester we find no break up of the road at Birmingham or other towns, but can go right on to our journey's end. If, however, when we come back we would travel on say farther south than London, another sort of conveyance must be taken to, ' an d probably some hours are wa sted before the journey can be co n ti nue d . The first thing to be done towards rendering our railroad system more com plete is to bring into communication all the existing lines which ,ii round 149hd9n.T.Butider, LONDON, PRICES OF SHARES IN "MINKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM.

Mr. COLLIER appeared to show cause to a rule ob tained in the early part cf the present term by Mr. D. Keane, calling upon the defendant, the publisher of the Plymouth Journal, to show cause why a criminal informa tion should not be filed against him for the publication of a libel on the Hon. Mr. Jerningham. The substance of the article complained of was as follows: —The article stated that Mr. Jerningham, who is a Roma❑ Catholic, had married a few years since a lady who had subse quently become a member of the same Church, and by whom there were several children. The article then had gone on to say that about two years ago a separation had taken place between the parties, and :that two of the children afterwards lived with Mrs. Jerningham at Ply mouth. It then stated that Mr. Jerningham had, without the knowledge of Mrs. Jerningham, gone to Ply mouth, and having ascertained that she was ia the habit of attending a particular chapel—for Mrs. Jerningham had been reconverted to Protestantism—he had gone to that chapel and taken away ono of the children, a little boy about nine years of age, without the know lege of Mrs. Jerningham, the mother ; and the libel went oa to say that Mr. Jerningham had done this in contravention of an agreement which he bad entered into with a gentleman of the name of Williams, to the effect that he would not take nny measures whatever to obtain the custody of the children. Now, on the part of the defendant, the Learned Counsel said he was instructed to state that, after the publication of the paper which had contained this libel, he had instituted inquiries, from which he had arrived at the conclusion that that part of the article which had referred to this alleged violation of the agreement was not correct. The de fendant was also anxious that he should state in public that he altogether retracted that part of the libel, and, at the same time, to add that he had heard the matter from a source which, at the time, he considered it to be im possible to doubt the accuracy of, namely, from Mrs. Jer ningham herself, who was at the period under, the im pression that Mr. Jerningham had entered into such an agreement with Mr. Williams not to touch the children. Upon inquiring of Mr. Williams, how ever, the defendant bad found that the agreement between himself and Mr. Jerningham had been merely conditional only—on Mr. Williams being able to effect an arrangement between Mr. and Mrs. Jerningham before the 20th of June last. The endeavour to accom plish any arrangement between the parties having failed, the agreement became no longer binding upon Mr. Jer ningham, although Mrs. Jerningham would appear to have thought that it was. Under these circumstances, therefore, the defendant was anxious to retract that part of the article complained of, and to make every repara tion in his power. Mr. Justice ERLE inquired if the Learned Counsel had mentioned the matter to the Learned Counsel who had obtained the rule? Mr. COLLIER had done so, and had understood that his Learned Friend would be satisfied with the apology he was about to make. In the following week after the publication of the libel the defendant had inserted a letter from a Mr. M'Donnell, which corrected the error he had in the preceding week been led into, and therefore he had supposed, until the application for the present rule, that the defendant would have been satisfied with that as a sufficient apology on his behalf. kl-lhad instructed him now to express his deep regret at having given in sertion to that part of the article which had cast the imputation charging Mr. Jerningham with a breach of faith; and, indeed, the defendant had instructed him to withdraw every imputation which that part of the article bad cast upon the honour of that gentleman. Mr. D. KEANE said, that soon after his Lordship had granted this rule there no doubt did appear in the de fendant's paper, in the form of a leading article, a state ment which had contained nearly that which had just been said by his Learned Friend; bat that article did not contain any expression of regret on the part of the defendant for the imputation he had thrown upon the honour and good faith of Mr. Jerningharn, nor for the contumelious manner in which the libel had reflected upon that gentleman's character. Bat for the imputa tion upon his honour Mr. Jerningbam would have treated this publication with the utmost indifference, although it contained other matters of insult, for none of which had the slightest apology been made in that article; neither had he been able to discover any expression of regret for those insults in what had fallen from his Learned Friend upon the present occasion. Mr. COLLIER was instructed to express the regret 01 his client, and intended to do so. Mr. Justice EaLE said that this had been an applica tion for certain powers in consequence of an injury having been done to the plaintiff's character and honour. When, then, the defendant expressed regret, and re tracted the imputation against his honour, and withdrew the offensive part of the publication, the question was, whether that was a satisfactory apology or not. Mr. KEANE then said that, after such an intimation from his Lordship, he would, on the part of Mr. Jen ningham, consent to have his rule discharged on the pay ment of costs by the defendant as between attorney and client. He held in his hand an authority for such an application. He found that authority in a case deter mined in the Court of Common Pleas—" Helsham v. Blackwood" (as was understood), a case where, an apo logy having been accepted, the defendant had been ordered to pay all the costs as between attorney and client. Mr. COLLIER had not understood from his Learned Friend that it had been his intention to press for more than the costs in the ordinary way. Mr. Justice ERLE—No. Mr. KEANE—If his Lordship were of opinion that ho ought not to ask for costs as between attorney and client. he would rest content with the ordinary costs. Mr. Justice ERLE said there were great objections to giving costs as between attorney and client. The rule would, therefore, ba discharged on payment of costs by the defigndant.—Rule discharged accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 22. THE ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. BRADBURY AND EVANS. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL applied to know when their Lordships would be prepared to give judgment i❑ this case, relating to the question whether Mr. Dickens's Harsaltold Narrative was liable to the Newspaper Stamp Act. The COURT said they would be prepared to deliver judgment on Tuesday next. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE LEBIERE —JUDGMENT. His HONOUR delivered j u d gment i n th i s case on t h e question of certificate this morning. He said—The main charge urged against the bankrupt was fraudulent pre ference to his children , and it was conten d e d t h at t h e offence came within the fourth clause of the 256th section of the Bankrupt Lass- Consolidation Act, " That if the bankrupt shall at any time w i t hi n two mont h s next pre ceding the issuing of the fiat or the filing of the petition for adjudication of bankruptcy, fraudulently, in contem plation of bankruptcy, and act under pressure from any of his creditors, or to give an undue preference his creditors, with intent to diminish the sum a e nyo to f bedividcerdednitmoor, wnghhioly o his creditors, inpart, ha o have pr have aidor satisfied dwo any such with, mortgaged, or charged any part of his what hind soe ver ." N ow h e must say t h at did not by any means sho w th a t the bank rupt ,of brought himself within any o f th e fo u r requi tphreopehrad evidence ty requi sites of this clause. He had neither acted fraudulently nor in contemplation of bankruptcy, nor under pressure, nor with intent to diminish the sum to be divided among his creditors. He was of opinion that the bankrupt only acted in pursuance of a former agreement, in fulfilment of a promise made long ago, and not at all in the manner which the Act contemplated. Upon the whole he thought this man ought to have hi s cer t i fi cate . Th e on ly ques tion was respecting the class of certificate. He could not think that the bankruptcy had arisen wholly or in part from unavoidable loss or misfortune, and therefore the Court could only award a certificate of the third class. He must say there were many favourable features in this case, and that no one had any ground for imputing anything that was fraudulent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Joseph Perry, a person of respectable appearance, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having passed bad money. Mr. J. D. Burrow, licensed victualler of St. Mary Axe, said—The prisoner came to my house on Thursday evening, and in my presence asked the barmaid, Ellen Howard, for a pennyworth of gin, and put down a six pence upon the counter. She told him it was bad, and I took it up and broke it in halves. I said to him " This is too bad; you cams on Saturday night and served me with sixpence in the same way." I had thrown that sixpence away. I then asked my wife whether she knew the prisoner, and she said that she did, and that he had given her a bad shilling a few days previously. I then sent for a policeman and gave him in charge. I threw the two pieces of the sixpence which had been just taken upon the counter, and the prisoner took them up and handed them to the police man, and said he would not have offered the money if he had thought it was bad. Croley, a City polieeman, said—l apprehended the prisoner. The landlord said he had been twice before at the house with bad money. The prisoner put the broken pieces of a sixpence towards me, and I took them up. I took him to the station-house, and I found in his pocket this part of a galvanic battery. It is com posed of plates of zinc in a frame, and some screws an d a wire. (The officer here exhibited certain apparatus used by coiners.) I found also in his pocket some h pence. He said, upon being asked for his address, that he lived at 24, St. John-street, Whitechapel, but, in consequence of information which I received, I went to No. 2, Tenter-street, Tenter-ground, Spitalfields, be lieving at the same time that the address which he gave me was false. I found in a back room on the ground floor, which I was informed was his room, under the head of the bedstead, a box containing several small ar ticles, a small quantity of melted metal, and the bowl of a metal spoon. I a!so saw in the rooom a lump of clay. The prisoner—lt is false. I never was in that house more than two or three times in my life. It is my bro ther-in-law that lives there. s o n T e h r e l i v p e o s l icem there. an The LORD Maron—l shall remand the p risoner and I shall be able to prove that the pri send for the solicitor to the Mint to prosecute in this case, which I consider, from the a rticles found upon the prisoner and the course followe d by him, to be one of importance to the public at this time of peri etual utter ance of base coin. The prisoner was accordingly remand ed. Mary Hamilton, an Aberdeen lassie, in the 80th year of her age, was brought before the Lord Mayor, c h arge d with having rung the bell of his Lordship's door, at which female paupers have been long in the habit of, Price. NOVEMBER 24, 1851. applying for beds when they find it difficult to get ad mission at the several unions. The Loup MAYOR, seeing before him an object very different from those obstreperous nightly visitors whom he is obliged to transfer to Bridewell for 14 days' chas tisement, said—Well, old lady, what did you mean by ringing me up last night? The ancient defendant said, in broad Scotch, that she had comp up to town from Aberdeen to see her son, but on the way she had somehow lost his " whereabouts," and, after walking about looking for him, she was so worn out with fatigue she was obliged to sit down in the streets, and some good people told her to call upon his Lordship to have a little conversa tion with him, and she wa■ likely to be accommodated with a lodging.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR said that such an applicant as she was would not be denied the accommodation she re quired if she had applied at the union. The old woman said she thought her best way was to go to the magistrate, who was best able to supply her. She was the widow of an Englishman who was killed at the battle of Waterloo. Jamie was a Lancashire lad, and his old lassie hadn't a baw bee in the world; but all she wanted was a little, very little, Biller to pay for her victuals bask, for she could walk ten or twelve miles a day well. The LORD MAYOR—How did you come to London? The old woman—l had half•a crown when I left Liver pool,whete I worked, and I came thirty miles, at a penny a mile, by the railroad, and walked the rest of the way. Jamie is dead, or he wouldn't lot the lassie walk; but the lassie hasn't got a bawbee. The LORD MAYOR—And of course you don't want to stay here? The old woman—Na, na; I want to go back. The LORD MAYOR—And how much money do you want to take you back? The old woman—Oh, very little siller indeed; for the lassie is able to walk well, though she is auld. The LORD MAYOR directed that the poor old creature should be cherished for the day, and supplied with ample means of returning home, and his kindness and huma nity were acknowledged by a hearty blessing. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged woman of very ladylike appearance, whose husband was stated to be one of the chief clerks in the Bank of England, was charged with felony at the shop of Mr. Charles Carden, an oil and colourman in Cross -street, Horton. The prisoner, who had just got up from her confine ment, appeared to be in very delicate health, and was accompanied by her nurse, carrying a baby in long clothes only five weeks old. She seemed completely crushed by her degrading position buried her face in her hands and bosom beneath a thick veil, and sobbed and shuddered convulsively, the only time she turned her head being to obtain a sight of her infant. Her husband, a very gentlemanly-looking man, was incessantly pacing the court in a state of pitiable grief and excitement, and before his wife was placed at the bar repeatedly adjured her to tell him why she had so disgraced herselt, but the woman's utterance was too stifled to give him an answer. William Garrett, shopboy to the prosecutor, stated, that about half-past twelve o'clock that day the prisoner entered the shop where he was serving aad asked for two ounces of blue. The witness showed her some blue, but she said she required a better article than that, and ho turned round to get some out of one of the drawers behind him, when, on turning round again to exhibit the other blue, he saw the prisoner, who had taken up a position close to a wooden tray containing common washing soap cut up into pieces, take one of the pieces of soap out of the tray, and quickly thrust it into the pocket of her dress. He took no notice of the theft at the time, but went into the next shop to his master, leaving the prisoner alone in the first shop. On acquainting Mr. Carden with what he had witnessed, the prosecutor returned with him to the shop, the prisoner still standing in the same position; but upo❑ again looking at the soap-tray he found that, short as the interval was that the prisoner had been left to herself, four more pieces of the soap had been taken. He then formally accused the prisoner of the robbery, and the prosecutor went round to her and seised hold of her hand, she at the same time pull ing all fire pieces of the soap out of her pocket now pruduced. The prisoner then became dreadfully agi tated, and said, " Pray, do let me go; I've got a little baby at home;" but the prosecutor said he could not do so, and sent witness fora constable, with whom he shonly returned, and the prisoner was given into custody. The soap, which altogether was only worth one shilling, was then taken possession of by the officer, and the accused was transferred to the station. The witness added that he had seen the prisoner at his master's shop on the Sa turday preceding, and saw her take a pound of the soap at that time, a fact which he communicated to his em ployer, but the latter did not believe him in consequence of the prisoner's apparent respectability. Alworth, a constable of the N division, stated that on being summoned to the shop of the prosecutor at the time in question he found the prisoner in the parlour at the back of the shop in a state of great affliction, on her knees before the prosecutor, earnestly imploring him not to give her in charge, and promising to make any recompense if ho would only forgive her and let her go. The prosecutor, however, told her he felt it his duty not to accede to her request, and she was there upon given into custody. Mr. YET/VOW:MT asked the prisoner, with the usual caution, if she wished to say anything in explanation of her conduct, and she was apparently about to ejaculate something, but was immediately stopped by Mr. Vann, who had been retained by her husband and who said that, in the face of such evidence, he con sidered it most expedient to reserve the defence. Seeing the delicate state of the prisoner's health, how ever, and the peculiar circumstances of the case, he trusted the magistrate would consent to accept substan tial bail for her suture appearance, which could be pro cured to any amount the Bench might think proper. Mr. D'EYNCOURT considered the case clearly esta blished, and, having directed the depositions to be taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, ordered the prisoner to be fully committed to the Middlesex sessions for trial, but acceded to the application for bail, which he fixed at two sureties in 501. each. The bail was shortly afterwards put in, and ea estate agent at Stepney and a private gentleman at Vauxhall becoming her sureties ; and the prisoner, who had never once raised her head or ceased crying the whole time she was in court, then left with her husband and friends. THE PUBLIC OFFICES. (From a Sunday Paper.) So many changes have lately takes place in the locality of the several public offices, and so many more are in contemplation, that we think it is not amiss to publish as accurate a list of those removals and alterations as can be collected up to the present time. Many partial statements have found their way into the papers, which makes it desirable that the public should know as accurately as possible what has taken place and what is intended. The expe diency of consolidating public departments as much as possible has long been felt by the Government to be desirable, with a view to economy and convenience wherever it could be done. And even before the attention of the House of Commons had been called to the subject, efforts were directed to economise, by bringing together departments of the public service hitherto carried on under different heads. This sys tem of consolidation was specially acted upon when it was possible to unite two or more departments that were intimately connected in their working, the one with the other. In this way much saving of time and money has been effected in the civil service of the Crown. Another source of saving as well as a matter of convenience, in the public service, has been to bring together under one roof the scat tered elements of public departments, which were spread about in all directions in the most admired disorder. This st a t e o f thi n gs occurred in various ways, chiefly through the difficulty of procuring any possible resting place in the over-crowded area of London for all our several branches of the public ser vice, owing to our increasing wants and our swarm ing population, as well as the high value of property in all the central and convenient localities of the metropolis. The reduction and the consolidation of establish ments have done much to diminish the want of ac commodation required for each. Theincrease, on the other hand, of boards and of commissions, created by the authority of Parliament, has told in the oppo site direction. If two or more departments are con• solidated into one, there is so much space saved— there is another public building rendered available. If, on the contrary, a new commission is voted, or a new board created, by the authority of Parliament, a local habitation is immediately to be found. If all our public buildings were collected in one quarter, it would be perhaps all the better for the purpose of mutual communication. Messages, a well as other modes of intercourse, would b e greatly eco nomised. If this be true respecting different depart ments, how much more important . is it when a single department is in question. It is easy to elucidate this by stating what has taken place and what is in con templation, both in reference to the reduction o f th e establishments themselves, by which an immense saving has already been effected, and als o b y b r i nging together the department which had been hastily and unavoidably scattered about under the old arrange ments. If it had not been for the creatio n o f new boards and commissions — for which space had to be found—the reduction and consolidation of the old offices would have enabled the Treasury and the Board of Works to have had at their disposal a very considerable amount of valuable property. Even as it is, the more systematic arrangements for combining the scattered elements of the public service will be attended with the best results, although there are many circumstances connected with the old irregular way of manazing these things that will delay the perfect consummation of the reforms that are con templated. There can be no better illustration of the evils and inconveniences that hare gradually grown up with the increase of business and of population than is to be found in the separation of the Courts at Westminster, and of the law offices scattered about the Inns of Court and Chancery-lane. If people had to begin now, there is no doubt that all the law offices and all the law courts would be constructed in and near and around each other. But that i s now found impossible. It is so with the public-offices, but all approach to such a condition ought to be effected as nearly as possible whenever occasion shall arise. This is the doctrine with which all concerned ought to be regulated, and we believe that it is a doctrine which gains ground every day with men in office, as well as with the public. It is in deference to this general principle that it has already been settled that the entire of the Ord nynce D,p3rtment should be removed into one build ing; and the office of the Ordnance in the Tower will be removed to Pall-mall as soon as the alterations and extensions going on there shall be completed. This will be the first great consolidation effected, by which so many messages will be saved, so many mis takes will be rectified, and so many expenses will be reduced, by concentrating the entire department un der one roof Another—and a greater—concentration will be the removal of the Excise Department from Broad-street to Somerset-house, where the Stamps and Taxes are located, and which are now consolidated with the Excise under the name of the Inland Revenue. Our readers are aware that a saving of little less than 200,0001. per annum was effected by Sir Charles Wood tbreeor four years ago by the reduction in sala ries consequent upon uniting these two establishments. By bringing them both into one locality another large saving will be made so soon as the new buildings just commenced at the west wing of Somerset-house shall be completed, and tivit accommodation can be found elsewhere for the several establishments which now occupy that building. Several builings in Whitehall and its neighbourhood will have to be procured for these other offices ; but independent of the advantages of that neighbourhood to the House of Commons and to Downing-street, it is also to be take❑ into account that most of the locality is Crown property, and can be retained for public purposes on the dropping of the present leases. We believe that even with the pro posed buildings on the west side of Somerset-house, on the ground obtained from the Duchy of Lan caster, that the building will not do more than accommodate the united Board of Inland Revenue, composed of the old Excise and the Stamps and Taxes. New locations must therefore be found for the other public bodies occupying Somerset house. Tais can, we understand, be gradually accomplished in the neighbourhood of Whitehall; and all expenses in curred in the change will be greatly more than com pensated by the sale of the immense concern in Broad street now occupied by the Excise, and which will be at the disposal of the Government by the removal of that department to Somerset-house. Already symptoms of the clearing of Somerset house for this operation begin to exhibit themselves. Gwydyr-house is being evacuated for the Poor Law Board, which is expected to find accommodation for its entire staff by the addition of some three or tour rooms to the present building. The exodus from Gwydyr-house already comprises the Board of Health, which has been located i❑ Parliament-street, in the house formerly occupied by the Messrs. Driver, but the lease of which has lately fallen into the Woods and Forests. The solicitor of the Treasury and all his assistants and clerks have also left G wydyr-house, and gone to the Treasury over the way, where they will be more appropriately and conveniently placed. I❑ like manner the Lord Advocate of Scotland and the counsel to the Home-office will vacate their places and proceed to No. if, New-street, Spring-gardens, which is in possession of the Woods and Forests. So a:so is No. 1 in the same street, whither it is likely the School of Design will be removed from Somerset house. It is hoped, also, that the portion of the Ad miralty offices which fill so large a place in Somerset house, may be accommodated at the Admiralty in Whitehall as soon as the buildings there can be ap propriated and altered for the accommodation of pub lic offices. The Registrar-General's offices are also to be removed from Somerset-house. The Tythe and Enclosure Commissioners are to be consolidated, and a caving in their establishments will thus be effected. They will probably occupy a por tion of the residence of the late Lord Harrington in Whitehall gardens, which is finally to revert to the Crown, but the lease of which, in so convenint a lo cality, will be secured for public purposes. The offices of Woods and Forests and Public Works have been divided by the Act of last session. The office of Works is removed to 12, Whitehall place, with Lord Seymour as the head, which will in future be the Parliamentary and Cabinet office. The office of Woods, Forests, and Land Revenue, under the superintendence of the Treasury, like all the other public revenues of the country, will continue at the old place, 1 and 2, Whitehall-place, and will be pre sided over by the Hon. Charles Gore and the Right Hon. T. F. Kennedy, the former permanent Commis sioners of the board.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 2S.—The trade duri ng th e wee k has continued to exhibit much firmness, and a fair con sumptive demand has been experienced f all approved marks and qualities of flour on fully p rev i ous terms. Oatmeal has moved off steadily, but by no means tr.( el), without material change in value. Th e arr i vals of oat meal from Irt land at Liverpool and Runcorn are this week to a fair amount, but scanty of other produce thence, and from our own coast the supplies continue on a very limited scale. From abroad the imports of wheat and flour are liberal, but of Indian corn only moderate. At our market this morning there was again a very firm feeling exhibited by holders of wheat and flour, and the beat qualities of both articles must be noted the turn dearer. In the value of either oats and oatmeal no change was observable, but the latter sold more readily than during the week. NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 22.—At Newark, on Wednesday, much business was done in nearly all kinds of grain at last week's prices, factors thereby d r i v i ng goo d bargain, as all rates have since risen and appear still to be on the rise. Large quantities of wheat changed hands, and the same may be said of barley. Oats and beans were not so much in reque s t, b ut were not of less value than in dicated in previous reports. Wheat . , white, 39s to 41s; red, 353 to 395 ; b ar l ey, for milling, 27s to 30s ; for grinding, 21s to 24,; oats, 17s to 265; beans, 283 to 345. At Worksop, on Wednesday, the grain market was well attended, and a large amount of business was transacted. Wheat sold much as last week, being 14s to 14s 6d per load of three bushels for white of good quality. Barley in good supply at from 263 to 29, per quarter. Other grain as before. At Melton there was a better attendan ce th an f or some t i me past, an d tra d e brisker. Wheat nearly 2s dearer than the previous quo tations. At Derby yesterday and at Melton to-day both wheat and beans commanded rather more money. We had a moderate supply of wheat at our own market to day. An advance was generally asked, but reluctantly given. The trade may be called very firm, at a little over last week's rates. The show of barley was large, sales were in favour of the buyer, but wo retain our quota ' Hons. Old and new beans were is per quarter dearer. In oats there was no change.
