The following letter has been addresied by the Chan. .3ellor of the Exchequer to Mr. Assheton Cross, the Con• lervative candidate for South-West Lancashire : Lochletter, Inverness, August 24, 1868. My dear Cross,—ln reply to your letter requesting me to furnish you with some detailed explanation of the in crease of public expenditure since Lord Derby's Govern ment took office, animadverted upon by Mr. Gladstone at St. Helen's, I would in the first place remind you that Mr. Gladstone made a similar attack upon the Government in the House of Commons on the night of my financial statement, confining himself, as at St. Helen's, to generalities ; that upon that and subsequent occasions he was fully answered, and chal lenged to chew that the services upon which the increase had mainly taken place had been left in an efficient state by the late Government, and that this challenge ho has never taken up.

I do not complain of the statement that the expenili clure voted by Parliament has risen £3,000,000 since the change of Government—speaking in round numbers, that is sufficiently accurate. The difference between the esti mates presented to Parliament by the late Government for 1866-67, and by the present Government for 1868-69, after making all necessary corrections for alterations in account and transfer of charges from the Consolidated and other funds, amounts, I believe, to £2,815,654. I. The excess of the army estimates of 1868-69 over the original estimates of 1866-67 amounts to £1,360,000. The principal causes of increase are as follows : Increase of pay to army and militia, and for more efficient recruiting of the army ... R. 500,000 Raising militia to full quota ... 82,000 Cost of converting small arms, on an average of the three years ... . 200,000 Heavy ordnance for forts, on an average of the three years ... .. 70,000 blilitary expenditure for Straits Settlements, Ceylon, and Australia, in consideration of which contributions from those colonies are to be paid into the Exchequer 128,000 Capitation grant to volunteers ... 37,000 Increase of vote to expedite the completion of , Bermuda fortifications ... •.. ... 35,000 Increase of pay to medical officers under Royal warrant, sanctioned by late Government ...

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co, ; "Terries and Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Barclay and Co. ; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbot and Co., Berners-street; and at the hospital, from 10 till 5. SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &c. ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in, the elementary prin ciples and practice thereof`. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and cumbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows Marks. Pure mathematics including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plain and descriptive), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus ... 2,500 Applied mathematics, including mechanics and. hydrostatics ... ... 1,000 Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (fur shipwright's candidates only) ... Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi dates only) ... ... French ... Blements of physic and chymistry 2,500 2,500 500 750 English gratimiar and coniposition Geography and History No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will recaive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at ls. 6d. per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the S..thool or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study a t th e School, and the remaining five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi cal knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in theirsubsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 28th September and three following days. By command of their Lordships, HMNRY GORDON LENNOX. 11.

ADMIRAL FARRAGITT AT CONSTANTINOPLE.— The U.S. steamer Frolic, tender to the Franklin, frigate came in on Friday from Syra with Admiral Farragut on board, the frigate herself being unable to pass the Darda nelles without a special firnian. From Syra, as mentioned by our Smyrna correspondent, she proceeded to the latter port, and is to-day to reach the Dardanelles, whither the neces sary firman will doubtless be sent down to permit her coming on to the Bosphorus, as was recently done in the , case of the Russian frigate, Alexander Nercsky. On Monday, Mr. Morris, the American Mi nister, and Admiral Farragut visited the Grand Vizier, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and subse quently called on Mr. Elliot and General Ignatieff, the Admiral afterwards lunching with Mr. Morris at Thiyuk dere. Yesterday they completed the round of calls on the diplomatic body. To-day the Admiral will visit the Seraskier and Minister of Marine, and to-morrow will have an audi ence of the S altan at Beylerbey. On Saturday he will be the guest of General Ignatieff at a grand dinner given spe cially in his honour. in the event of the Franklin coming up, the famous old chief's stay will probably extend over next week ; but if the Porte, as is improbable, should , make any difficulty about the special finnan, he will leave on Monday. In the meantime ho has put up at Misserie's hotel.—Levant Llerald, Aug. 12. The American war steamer Swatara arrived at Lisbon last Wednesday. NEW SHORT-HAND SYSTEM.—It is• said that a Mormon genius, named Shelton, has invented a nsw sys tem of short-baud writing, which it is claimed is destined to completely revolutionize the phonographic art. The ad vantages claimed for tho new system are simplicity, facility of acquirement, brevity, and reliability. It can be written, the inventor claims, in half the space required for the Pit man system. At a recent meeting in Toronto of the Grammar School Teachers' Association, it was resolved that the course of studies for girls should be the same as that for boys. Half a mile.

St. Albans Kingsbury 8 1 FATAL ACCIDENT TO A TRAINE R.—Died, On the 23i1 inst., in the 54th year of .his age, at Lis residence in Ely near Cardiff, Charles James Sadler, trainer, youngest son of the late Isaac Sadler, of Stockbridge, Hants, leaving a widow advanced in years totally unprovided for, and in whose behalf subscriptions will be thankfully received. His death, it appears, was occasioned by a pair of horses in a drag taking fright and running over the deceased, causing a severe compound fracture of the leg and internal injuries, which, after ten days' severe suffering, termi nated with tetanus. £138,582 And the residue principally due to increased ship building. 3. The excess of the civil service and revenue estimates as finally voted for 18G8-69 over the original estimates of 1866-67, after snaking the necessary adjustment for alterations in the account, &c., amounts to £870,740 From this should be deducted (say) 300,000 being that portion of the supplemental esti mates for 1866-67 (excluding extraordinary ser vices) which ought to have been provided for in original estimates. :570,740 This increase may be thus accounted for : Constabularly of Ireland, in pursuance of report of commission of 1866, presided over by Mr. linatchbull-llugessen £147,000 25 per cent. of augmentation of pay of police, Great Britain, in accorklance with circular in 1866 of Sir G. Grey Extension to Ireland of payment of school masters' salaries and half medical expenses of Poor Law Administration, as promised by Mr. Gladstone ... Carrying out of works commenced or sanctioned 1i;,000 65,000 previous to July 1866 Extra expenses of Home Office and Poor Law Board Administraticn, owing to legislation ... Fire Brigade, metropolis ... Increase in law charges, owing to Fenianism Education ... Science and Art Cattle Plague Department, not heretofore pro vided for in estimates 96,000 15,000 7,500 40,000 113,000 65,000 7,000 £570,000 There have, of course, been many increases under different heads of service which I have not alluded to, as they have been met by corresponding reductions other leads, but I believe that the above statements give a fair account of the real causes of the increased estimates. Now, as regards the army expenditure, you must remem• ber that before the change of Government took place the War Office had determined to convert the small arms into breech-loaders, but scarcely any provision had been made in the estimates for that purpose. That the difficulty 0° recruiting the army had become so great as to induce the then Government to appoint a commission to report upon the subject, and that the com mission made recommendations entailing a very great increase in the estimates. That the forts built by the late Government were with out armaments. Now, what have been the results of the increased expen diture ? 1, As regards small arms the operation of conversion will be nearly completed by the end of this year. 2. As regards recruiting the army the extra pay has induced no fewer than 26,000 veteran troops to re-engage themselves. 3. As regards arming the forts, 267 pieces of ordnance Jave been provided (part of which was estimated for by the late Government), and of these 142 are already mounted. Then, with respect to the navy, I would call your attention to the statement made by Sir John Pakington in the House of Commons, on August 4, 1866, in answer to Mr. Graves : " I regret to state I find the reserves by no means in a satisfactory condition, or, indeed, in such a state as I had a right to find them, so much so that the Admiralty has great difficulty in finding relief for the ships that return from foreign service." It would be impossible within the limits of a letter to contrast the state of the navy now with what it was two years ago; but if you will read the speech of Mr. Corry, in moving the navy estimates of May 11th of this year, I think you will be satisfied that great advances have been made towards efficiency. Lastly, with respect to the civil service expenditure, with the exception of a large increase in the votes for Education and Science and Art, and of a grant towards the Glasgow University Building, I am not aware that the present Government can be charged with burden• ing the taxpayers of the country to a greater amount than was necessary to comply with the provisions of recent acts of the Legislature, and to carry out the engagements entered into by their predecessors.—Believe me, &c., (Signed) GEORGE WARD HUNT. It. Assheton Cross, Esq. The Northern Ensif i n learns that the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland has been in very indifferent health for some time. Her Grace has, however, improved these few days. • The freedom of the burgh of Forfar was on Thursday conferred on the Earl of Strathmore, in the Town Ball, in presence of a large and influential assem blage. THE NAILERS' STRIKE.—The strike in the wrought-nail trade of East Worcestershire continues with considerable determination, neither men nor masters shewing the slightest disposition to yield. The number of men on strike is scarcely so great as estimated a fortnight since, owing to the fact that in the neighbourhood of Lye Waste several factors have con tracts to complete under a penalty within a given time, and in these cases they have been obliged to employ men at the advanced rate. On the completion of these contracts, however, it is understood that the reduced scale will be adopted in these as in other establishments. During the last few days a considerable number of nailers —men, women, and children—have left the Black Country on a hop-picking tour in Kent and Surrey, where, at this season of the year, they will doubtless be able to obtain lucrative employment. BRAIN WORK. —This excessive tension at which the mental faculties are kept for ten or eleven months of the year, in the vortex of City life, by the never-ending competition and struggle for pre-eminence in social and professional status, to which all who live by their wits or their talents are now subjected, produces a wear and tear of body and of mind the ultimate result and acme of which are premature old age. Its marks are easily discerned by the attentive observer. You may read them in the careworn countenance, in the hair prematurely grey, in the lank and stooping figure, in the languid and feeble gait ; and the physician also detects it in the habitual dyspepsia, in the disordered circulation, and in the degene rated and worn-out heart. The failing memory, the in ability to fix the attention long upon any subject, and the irascible or desponding temper. mark the equal decadence of the mental pant pass'', \.l' of the physical powers. ..r-Gentlentan'B Magazine. 3 I
