Johnstone, in his report on the Lan cashire Church Schools, observes:—" The incomes which are made in some of these schools are very large. The average of the salaries returned by the masters in one town is over £139 a year, exclusive of house, profits of evening school, or other advantages ; and in one instance a total income from all sources is made of £3OO. It is well that a profession should have these prizes, and most certainly they are only gained by the hardest and most trying work ; but in the face of this it is impossible, at least in this district, to agree with the cry that salaries are diminished and a teacher's prospects blighted under the new code. And this leads me to remark upon a point which should, if possible, be guarded against. A return is asked for each year of the whole pecuniary en.o:nment of a teacher received out of the school income. Men rarely make themselves out richer than they are, and from the opportunities which there art of private information it is certain that in many instances the return is made too low, and that teachers consequently are often' thought to be a worse paid body of men than they really are. As it is, their own returns spew them to be in the receipt of the follow ing average payments :—Masters, LOS 14s. ; mistresses (girls'), P. 62 13s. ; mistresses (infants'), £5B. And when to this is added the many unacknowledged items which exist, the whole amount will not appear so low, even though among the high-paid classes of the manufacturing districts." THE NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION. The sudden change in the weather which took place on Thursday had rather an unfavourable effect on the Arm strong gun practice of the volunteers. The increased den sity of the atmosphere rendered the aim more difficult, and the high wind and rain turned even the conical bullets from their track. The practice began at half-past eight in the morning, under a drizzling rain, and in a fog so thick that the gunners could scarcely see the target. This year is the first in which the volunteers are allowed to prac tise with the Armstrong guns. As a matter of fact the majority assembled at Shoeburyness had never handled one of those pieces until they arrived at the camp. Not withstanding the result of this drawback, the practice was excellent ; the intricacy of the gun offered no obstacle to rapidity of loading, and the aim was, as a general rule, far above the average. The Queen's Prize, £lOO, was won by the sth West York, with a score of 36, obtained in 6 min. 58 secs., but in estimating the goodness of this score it must be remembered that when firing with Armstrongs no shot reckons except those which hit the target. Each hit counts twelve, so that the winners in this case must have hit the target three times out of five, firing at 1,500 and 2,000 yards alternately. The scores were pronounced to be excellent, and the facility with which the amateur artillerists .handled the Armstrong guns —so different in every particular from the old fashioned smooth-bore, elicited general commendation. Singularly enough, the winners were tied in score by the 4th detachment of the Mid-Lothian Court Artillery, and also by the 2nd Kent ; the superiority being only in the time taken to load and fire. The time of the Mid- Lothian was 8 min. 8 sec., and the 2nd Kent the same, so that three corps tied in score and two in time, an example of close firing which was rather remarkable. We should add that even the lowest figures were deemed by the experts to be exceedingly creditable, especially as the men were working for the first time with Armstrong guns. The shooting for the Lords and Commons' Prizes termi nated late on Wednesday evening, the winners being— first prize, Ist Sussex ; second, 12th Kent ; third, 3rd Essex ; fourth, 2nd Sussex. CHAPTER IV. GENERAL. XXVI. Furlough, privilege, leave, and special leave shall not be taken as such in continuation of each other; but, if an officer absent on one of these classes of leave be allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his absence sh .11 be held to be under tho class of leave for which it was changed. XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will In no restriction as to the places where an officer may reside when on leave. XXVIII. Leave allowance shall bo payable monthly, if paynient is taken iu India, and quarterly if payment is taken in England. CHAPTER V. TEMPORARY RULES. XXIX. Whatever aggregate amount out of the three years' furlough and three years '• sick leave, under the Rules until now in force, at present remains to be taken by an officer under the said Rules, shall remain to be taken by him under Rules now promulgated. XXX. Any officer now in the service shall, when next proceeding on furlough, elect whether he will draw allow ances at the higher minimum rate of £5OO per annum (not exceeding his total salary at the time). If he shall so elect, he will, in any future furlough, ba limited, as to allowance, to the lower maximum rate of £l,OOO per annum. XXXI. Any officer now absent on leave, who has no appointment, may, on his return, and until he again holds an appointment carrying equal pay to that of the substan tive appointment which he last held, draw the subsistence allowance of his rank, together with 75 per cent. of the pay of any appointment in which he shall officiate. Pro vided that the total salary so drawn by him shall not ex ceed the pay of the appointment in which he is officiating. This Rule shall apply to any officer who may have already returned from furlough. XXXII. Any officer now absent on furlough, or under medical certificate, may elect whether the remainder of his leave shall be taken under these Rules from the date of their promulgation. If he shall so elect, Rule XXX, shall not apply to him. RULES REGARDING ACTING ALLOWANCES. I.

The attendance on the Club day, which usually attracts a large muster, was the smallest of the week, and is en tirely attiibutable to the unpropitious suite of th 3 weather, rain falling in drizzling showers throughout the entire afterncoa, rendering nraters very uncomfortable for the occupants of the Stand and the carriages. All Cu) covered places we:a crowded, and every one was glad when the racing concluded, for, on account of the rale aid the heavy sea-mist, none of the con!est t couli b.t s wn until the competitors were with . n a short distance of the wi n _ ning-poNt. The sport was of a very poor character, and the fl lis v. ry short. Matira, with high odds betted on 11T, *1 little difficulty in bating Veda's sister for the Club Biennial Sakes ; .wbilst Sir Oliver, whose roaring infirmity the hill at Brighton seems to suit to a nicety, had very little trouble in disposing of La Belle Jeanne and Clifford for the Selling Sweepstakes. 1:1 the Club Stakes the gentlemen rid , -•rs had the satisfaction of beating the - professionals, as Mr. Bevil' won with President Lincoln, who started with the call of his opponen's, of • hoes Pevensey's chance was extinguishe 1 by his being left at the post. Birdseeker did not gain more friends for the Lewes Handicap by his defeat by Cock of the Walk in the Club Biennial, but the Danebury horse is a fairish animal at a mile. la the Claret Stakes Ettrick upset a couple of favourites in Reindeer and John Leech, the for mer of whom appeared out of all form. The £lOO Plate produced the greatest surprise of the day, as Dryad, on whom odds of 2 to 1 were freely laid, sustained an easy defeat from Lumley, a Findon trained animal, whom Ken yon rode. Only one bookmaker laid against him, and he booked the extreme, odds of 100 to 3, which he repeatedly offered afterwards. The favourites were successful in the two succeeding races, though in the handicap for beaten horses, which closed on the course, Ch ar l es 11. was backed 'for a lot of money, but he had by some mistake been sent home, and Toy became the favourite, and won very easily._ Particulars of the sport are app en d e d : — 1 _ . _ The Tenth Brighton Club Biennial Stakes oflo sovs each, with 50 added by the Club, for thrJe year oils ; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b.

YORKSHIRE CRICKETERS.—This week the All- England Eleven have been engaged in a cricket match with 22 of Somercotes, near Nottingham. At night an .omnibus, belonging to Mr. Cupitt, of Alfreton, was driving some of the cricketers home. Among them were Luke Greenwood, Freeman, and Emmett, the celebrated mem bers of the Yorkshire County Eleven. By some means the vehicle was pitched over, and Greenwood sustained such fearful injuries that he is not expected to live. The other two were also much cut and bruised. A sergeant of police and several other passengers were likewise severely hurt, and the 'bus was greatly damaged.—Leeds Mercury. Curing a quarter of a century Horninzan's Teas have had an immense sale, and as they are now Bd. per Pound Cheaper, in consequence of the Reduced Duty, the demand will doubtless be even further extended.

A letter in the columns of the Telegraph complains of the infamous pollution of the parks and public places in London by degraded females. The Telegraph, in com menting on the letter, says :—" We agree with R.' that the authorities are grossly negligent in the matter. In the pleasant summer evenings, when enjoyment of the free air is more practicable than during the heat of the day, nobody can enter the parks of the metropolis without molestation. Hyde Park is specially men tioned by our correspondent ; but has he ever returned from Regent's Park after sunset without being annoyed in the manner he describes ? Again, is R.' a City man, or does he ever have business in the City ? In the flood tide of commerce, when Cornhill is crowded and the gates of the Bank of England are admitting and discharging streams of mercantile humanity, what kind of people are those who walk to and fro in front of the Royal Exchange? It is true, as our correspondent says, that no scenes like those enacted in our West-end parks, by night, arc tolerated elsewhere than in London ; but we may add the emphatic assertion that no Bourse, in Europe, save that in the centre of the metropolis of Eng land, is permitted to be a mart of immorality by day. One point made by our correspcsadent deserves especial commendation, and suggests praetical thought. Quoting the Rev. James Fraser, Education Commissioner of the Privy Council in America,. ' calls the attention of Englishmen to the fact that, without any system of licensed houses, such as we do not desire to imitate from Continental Governments, the streets of cities in the United States are effectually kept clear of the abomination which obtrudes itself upon every respectable inhabitant of an English city. It is simply a matter of police rogulation, after all ; and a general recog. nition of the fact that any offensive intrusion justifies the interference of a constable, when required, would rid our parks and thoroughfares of a most pernicious nuisance." NEW ACT ON EMBEZZLEMENT.-Au Act was issued on Thursday, 31st and 32nd Vict., c. 116, by which police magistrates can deal with cases of embezzlement in a summary manner, as under the 18th and 19th Vict., c. 126. An old widow lady named Lock has just died at the age of 92, in Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Sbo was the widow of a volunteer of that name in the days when Buonaparte threatened to invade England. Mr. Lock was accidentally shot dead at a volunteer review upwards of 60 years ago. The recently discovered islands in the Pacific Ocean arc described by Captain W. Reynolds, who took possession of them on behalf of the United States Govern ment, as follows :—" The harbour is formed very much like Honolulu, is rather more roomy and safe, but not with quite as much depth of water on its bar, which, however, appeared to be about eighteen feet. Water was found on the islands at a distance of from four to seven feet. The soil will produce a good many kinds of vegetables, and choice fish are found in the vicinity." THE HEALTH OF THE QUEEN.—ller Majesty has undertaken her journey to Switzerland, where she intends to stay for about a month, on the recommendation of Sir W. Jenner. We stated some months since that the Queen had been subject to fainting fits, accompanied by distressing attacks of sickness. Though these to a great extent have abated, she has felt very much the hot weather of late prevalent, and this, with the unusual fatigue she has recently undergone, have produced a degree of weak. ness which the proposed change, it is expected, will remove. Oa her return from Switzerland the Queen will spend some time at Balmoral.—Lancet. A MARE'S NEST.—The St. Pancras guardians were rather alarmed on Thursday, when they had nearly concluded the business before them, by the sudden inrush of the Marquis Townshend. His lordship had driven to the workhouse in great haste, and demanded that inquiry should be made at once into the circumstances of a " cruelty " case which had been reported to him. The marquis's informant was a woman, who had told him a sad tale of the ill-treatment she had received at the work house. As there could be no objection to the inquiry, it was ordered to be held, in the presence of the marquis, who was soon made aware that be had only found a mare's nest. It was shown that the woman had been an inmate of the workhouse for about nine months ; that she then discharged herself, got drunk, remained away for five or six days, and after all that wanted to enter again without an order. The inquiry, it is said, satisfied the marquis. THE WEST INDIA MAILS.—The central depot of the West India mail steamers is about to be re moved i from the pestiferous island of St. Thomas, and an nfluen• tially signed memorial has been addressed to the Home Government from Barbadoes, urging that that island should be selected as the new station. The memorialists urge that Barbadoes is beyond the rage of hurricanes, and sly that " the island of Barbadoes stands out clear beyond all the other islands, and that from Barbadoes to Color the course is clear from one end to the other. That nc island of the northern group can hold out such advantages. That Barbadoes is abundantly supplied with excellent water. That Carlisle Bay is an excellent roadstead, and has natural advantages for carrying out a breakwater ci pier. That the steamers, by shaping their course for southern instead of a northern West Indian island, would have the benefit of three days' trade winds to one, and would save from 12 to 20 hours in every passage. That Bazba• does is also contiguous to Trinidad and British Guiana ( which three colonies together ship three-fourths of the sugar received from the British possessions in the West Indies, and that Carlisle Bay can be entered at all hots 9f_the_dgr sights -
