REIOR . 77 OF THE, BOUNDARY COMM/SS/ON. The following is a brief summary of the recom mendations of the Boundary Commissioners, which have just been laid upon the table of the House of Commons, but which are not likely to be delivered by the printers till the middle of next week. The additions to the boroughs are summed up as fol lows : -Boroughs existing before 1867—Extensions proposed, 81 ; no extension proposed, 116. Bo roughs constituted by the Act of 1867: Extensions proposed, 3 ; contractions proposed, 4 ; both exten sions and contractions proposed, 2 ; no alteration, 1. Total, 207. It will thus be seen that altera tions are proposed in ninety boroughs, or less than half the whole number. The agricultural boroughs as a general rule remain unaltered, or with very slight additions. Hence very few alterations are proposed in the boroughs of the South of England. Windsor is to receive the ad dition of Eton and Clewer, containing about 4,000 inhabitants. Newport receives a conditional re,.‘ commendation of extension to East and West Cowes, although curtailment is recommended. Bath is proposed to be augmented by Tiverton. In the West Midland district an increase of 30,000 popula tion is proposed for Birmingham, chiefly in the suburb of Aston, and an increase of 37,098 for Dudley. Coventry, Bewdley, and Droitwich have small additions ; Kidderminster and Worcester additions of rather larger character. Glouces ter is put down for 14,060 additional, and Bris tol for 20,000. Wednesbury is promised an ad dition of 12,000 in Darlaston. Leamington is to be added to Warwick; Derby absorbs Litchurch and Little Chester with 10,000 inhabi tants ; Nottingham had a large and important addi tion of 31,000. In Lancashire the new borough of Burnley is proposed to be curtailed by leaving out part of Habergham Eaves. Blackburn is to be in creased by Wilton and Livesey, containing nearly 8,000 persons. Rochdale is to give up its circular boundary, and to take in Wardleworth and Spot land townships with five small hamlets, containing altogether 10,000 persons. Ashton obtains the rest of the municipal borough and the Hurst and local board, with 8,000 persons. To Oldham is added the Lees hamlet with 7,000. Liverpool and Man chester receive portions of numerous townships, the numerical result of which is not stated. Cheshire adds Poulton, with 4,000 inhabitants, to Birken head, and also adds 3,000 to Chester. Staly bridge is to lose Massley and Staly, with 17,000, leaving 40,000 still in the new borough. In York shire, Bradford, Sheffield, Pontefract, Leeds, Knaresborough, and Ripon have no alterations. Halifax and Wakefield are extended to the limits of the municipal boroughs. Huddersfield gets 34,000 persons from Lockwood, Almondbury, Dal ton, Lindley, Longwood, and Lower Linthwaite. Dewsbury is a good deal altered in some of the out townships. Hull is extended over the dock suburbs. In the Tyne boroughs, Morpeth is to include a part of Blyth and other townships, with 9,000 fresh in habitants. Tynemouth receives an addition of 8,000, Gateshead 10,000, South Shields 15,000. In the metropolitan boroughs, Hampstead, with about 20,000 inhabitants, is thrown into Marylebone ; Stratford is omitted from Hackney ; Green wich receives Plumstead, and 27,000 ; Chelsea gains Chiswick, with about 5,000 inhabitants. As regards the counties, the divisions proposed by the act of last session are adhered to, with the ex ception of the IVest Riding, but the places of elec tion are in some instances changed. The West Riding is proposed for a new division, coinciding nearly with that proposed by Mr. Beaumont---a northern division, with Staincliffe and Ewecross wapontakes, Bradford and Halifax parishes, and Bolton and Idle townships, and 247,000 population exclusive of boroughs ; an eastern division of Claro Skyrack, Barkston Ash, Osgoldcross, and the re mainder of Morley, with 232,000 similar inhabi tants ; and a southern division the same as that in the act of 1867, viz., Agbrigg, Staincross, and Straf forth, with 364,000 population. So far as we can judge, the total additions to the boroughs may be roughly estimated at 350,000 ; but we speak subject to correction when the detailed figures are furnished. —Pall Mall Gazette. COURT OF COMMON CO UNCIL. Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was held at Guildhall for the dispatch of business, the Lord Mayor presiding. THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF POLICE. The Town Clerk read a communication, addressed to the Lord Mayor by Colonel Fraser, the City commissioner of police, stating circumstances con nected with the duties of his office and the remune ration he received. He said he had held his present appointment for five years, and his official income was less in amount by fully one-third than that en joyed by his immediate predecessor. Since he suc ceeded to the office all the duties attaching to it had steadily and largely increased, and many of the additional duties had been imposed upon him by Acts of Parliament. The salary of every individual of the force had been increased with the exception of that of the commissioner, and he invited the con sideration of the Court upon the subject. Upon the motion of Mr. Alderman STONE, the subject was referred to the police committee. Mr. BONNEWELL took OCCaSiOn to protest against what he called the continuous applications of officers of the corporation for increase of salary, remarking that at the last court a capital sum of £ll,OOO was voted in the increase of salaries and in largesses. ASSESSMENT OF CITY PROPERTY. Mr. JONATHAN TIIORP, pursuant to notice, pro pounded a motion expressing the opinion of the Court that it was desirable for the convenience and security of the inhabitants of the City that there should be one general assessment of all property in the City, which should be the basis for all future Imperial taxation, as well as municipal and local rating. It also suggested the appointment of a committee to consider and report how this object may be best accomplished. Mr. BENGOUGH supported the motion, remarking that there were five different rates in operation in the City, and that the system was most irregular and unsatisfactory. It was also supported by Mr. De Jersey, chair man of the Commission of Sewers, who argued that the poor law authorities were at the bottom of it all, and he entered into details tending to confirm that view. Mr. FINLAY movedtn amendment, to the effect that it was desirable that there should be one equitable basis of assessment of all property in the City and metropolitan districts for municipal, local, and metropolitan rating. The subject underwent, some further discussion, and in the result the original motion of Mr. Thorp was adopted. THE DUTIES OF TAE MAYORALTY. Mr. MACGEORGE moved a reference to a com mittee to inquire into and consider the whole ex penses of the mayoralty, the duties, emoluments, and responsib lities of the different officers connected therewith, the allowance made to the Lord Mayor, and the different funds from which the same is paid, and also the duties, expenses, and emoluments of the offices of sheriffs and under-sheriffs of Lon don and Middlesex ; and to report thereon gene rally, with such recommendation, if any, as might now appear desirable, lie introduced it in a dis curgye speech, iu which he reviewed the various beads of expenditvre, alluding particularly to the fact that the allowance made by the Corpora tion to the Lord Mayor during his year of office, for purposes of hospitality, was upon an average about £B,OOO, which he held to be ample, provided every Lord Mayor supplemented the amount, as he thought he should do, by an ex penditure from his own private resources of £5,000 or £6,000. lie urged at the same time that the hospitalities at the Mansion House might take a wider and, in some respects, a more dignified range. fie noticed incidentally the fact that in the last ten years £1,500,000 had been ccllected and dispensed in charity at the Mansion House on occasions of public calamity. The mayoralty, be said, was a great institution, and had always been so regarded; but its dignit3 might be enhanced by the chief magi strate for the time being associating himself with the various municipalities in the country, the great City companies, and the chambers of commerce in the principal towns, and other public bodies. The motion was seconded by Mr. BONTEMS, and led to a short discussion, in which Mr. Homer and Mr. De Jersey took part. It was almost unani mously adopted. Upon the motion of Alr. JOIIN SrmoNDs, chair man of the City Lands Committee, regard being had to a resolution of the Court of the 25th Octo ber, 1567, on a report of the Local Government and Taxation Committee on the subject of a county rate, and to the subsequent proceeding ,of the juaiL tices, it was referred to the same committee to con sider and report what parliamentary or other steps should be taken to prevent the levying of any rate upon the citizens of London by any body of men not subject to periodical election. It may be stated that this resolution points to the Court of Aldermen, who are not subject to periodical election. The Court then, after transacting some business of comparatively little interest, adjourned. MR. GLADSTONE ON 7HE CO-OPERA. TI VE MOVEMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. you kindly afford space in your jour nal for insertion of the enclosed correspondence ? May we venture to commend very earnestly to the retail trade the immediate adoption of Mr. Glad stone's suggestion, which is, in fact, the custom in the wholesale trade—a fixed term of credit, dis count for prompt payment, and a charge for interest after the expiration of the credit?—We are, &c., JONES, EVISON, & BARTER. 16, Borough, Feb. 19. " To the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone. " 16, Borough, S.E., Feb. 13. " Sir,—We apologise for the liberty of addressing you, but our object is to solicit your attention to the growth of the co-operative movement, which is at present causing some anxiety to the retail trade, and is operating prejudicially to their interests. That which has obtained most prominence is the Civil Service Co-operative Store,' partly from the notices of it in the newspapers, but chiefly from the high rank in life of many who further the scheme. A considerable feeling of irritation has arisen in consequence, and is rapidly spreading among the trading class. It is felt that the Civil Service, which costs the country so much, and the Estimates for which have grown so rapidly of late years, are doing their utmost to.destroy the trader altogether; that, in fact, they are becoming traders, although retain ing their situations at the country's cost, and it is asked, if this goes on, how is the trader to meet the heavy taxation he has to bear ? Many eyes are turned to you in the hope that you may see fit to use your great influence in the correction of the ten dency to which we have referred, which is being viewed with great anxiety by many, and which is, probably, doing more than any movement has yet done to set class against class —an evil which, as lovers of our country, we greatly deprecate.—We remain your obedient servants, "JONES, EVISON, AND BARTER. " 11, Carlton-house-terrace, Feb. 18. " Gentlemen, —I cannot wonder either on. the one hand that consumers should endeavour to adopt means for buying in the cheapest market, or that tradesmen should feel sore when their regular means of an honourable livelihood seem likely to be im paired. It is scarcely likely that the fundamental law, so to call it, of society which has given the re tail trader, or distributor of commodities, his place in it ever since it was organised, is erroneous ; and, if so, the tendency at any given moment to replace that important class by a contrivance for the pur pose may be indicative of some defect, removal of which would restore things to their natural course. I speak even without the authority of a private house keeper, for my engagements do not allow me to give due and proper attention to these matters. But I have the impression that there is a prevailing vice in the practice of retail trades which might be cured mean the system of dealing upon long credits, and of allowing no discount for ready-money pay ments. This system prevails, I believe, in most trades connected with the supply of families, and with many other trades of this great metropolis. Long credits mean large loans by men in business oat of their trading capital to men out of business. These loans must be paid for at the rates usually current for trading capital, which are, of course, high. Here we have a total inversion of the natu ral order, which is that men in business should be borrowers, and not lenders to, men out of business. This system also aggravates the risk of bad debts, which form an additional charge to a good debtor ; and it is connected with a general irregularity and uncertainty, which must also be paid for. I do not doubt that we, the consumers, are much in fault ; but I cannot help thinking that traders are in fault also, and that much might be done by a vigorous effort, and by combination among traders in favour of ready-money dealings, either absolutely or as encouraged by discounts. As you state that others as well as yourselves are disposed to appeal to me in this matter, although I have no specific to propose, I am quite willing that, if you think fit, you should give publicity to this letter.—l remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " W.

It is a town of some size and int. portance, and is built upon a slight eminence. In the centre is the church, a large building for Abyssinia, and all round it are clustered the ordinary fiat-topped huts of the natives. At a little distance from the town, on a rising ground, stands the largest private hofise I have yet seen. It consists of a square two-storied tower or fort, with structures on the top for musketry; at the base are the houses, and the whole is surrounded by a wall. The chief to whom it belongs once stood a good siege in it, and I dare say it is considered a strong place in this country. He is now, poor man, a prisoner. Having for some reason or other espoused the cause of the Wakshum Gobazye, ho went off to join him with all the men lie could muster. He did him good service, and, when the wars were over, was very naturally desirous of raurning home ; but be had made himself much too useful for that, and Gobazye told him that he could not be spared ; upon which the chief ran away, was caught, and put into prison, where he will probably remain forth° rest of his life, if he is not lucky enough to make his escape. Such is the reward of ni:itary service in this country. His wife and son now inhabit the fort, and have been very civil to us. Some two miles to the cast of the town, on the hills that bound the valley, is the village of Goola ; and, very prettilysituated in the midst of tall, shady trees, stands the Roman Catholic church and the house of Bishop Jacobus, who has now been dead about ten years. The church is a large one, built after the model of all Abys. ainian churches. The flat roof is of timber, supported on strong wooden pillars. An Abyssinian church is square in shape, and consists of an outside corridor, into which the people are admitted ; within this is a court, open only to the priests; and in the centre of all is the Ark, or Holy of Holies. The doors are ornamented with rude crosses carved in the woodwork, and sometimes with figures of saints. Mixed up with their Christianity are many Jewish customs, such S 3 Wive Abe Ark in thek ,ehryfelie.

THE FEVER IN VIE MAURITIUS. We briefly refered last week to the subject of the pre valence of malarious fever in the Mauritius, and particu. larly to its occurrence among the troops recently arrived there. The late epidemic scarcely attracted the attention in this country which might have been anticipated, cons'. Bering that in magnitude, in the extent of its prevalence and mortality, it was probably unparalleled in modern history, and we are forcibly reminded by it of the epidemics recorded in Jewish history, or during the Middle Ages. It does not say much for our humanity, nor is it very creditable to the Government, that a colony forming part of the British dominions should have suffered from such a disastrous epidemic without there having been an official inquiry into all the circumstances, as we had long ago urged, instituted by persons untrammelled by local inte rests, and not by those who, with every desire to get at the truth, are tied and bound by insular prejudices or dis tracted by conflicting interests. But our object at present is to direct public attention to a matter which appears to us simply gross negligence or incapacity on the part of some one. We have received reports from various sources, and on all bands it is stated that the disease is manifestly on the in crease, and only threatens to involve less loss of life than during last year in consequence of there remaining fewer inhabitants to be attacked. The mortality at Port Louis at the time of our correspondents' writing was three times in excess of the normal standard, and upon the increase. Ratios of mortality afford, be it remembered, very falla cious guides by which to test the prevalence and severity of a disorder which does not kill in anything like the pro portion to the number attacked. Fever is very prevalent among the civil population, and particularly among the poorer classes inhabiting the lower parts of that most insa lubrious of cities, Port Louis. Under these circumstances, we are not surprised to learn that the troops are suffering, and that those newly arrived have already begun to do so. It will be remembered that we directed attention last year to the removing of the 32nd Regiment from the Cape to the Mauritius, and we dwelt upon the inexpe diency of that step. Still, it might have been urged that the season was not unfavourable, and there was then very little sickness in the island. ,Ve now learn that in the detachment of that regiment stationed at Port Louis there are upwards of fifty suffering from fever. We adverted to the fact last week that the 86th Regiment, after being detained at the Cape for some months, had been forwarded to the Mauritius, and landed at Port Louis. The result has been exactly such as might have been anticipated ; about twenty-five cases of fever have already appeared in that - corps, and fresh attacks were of daily occurrence among the men, women, and children composing it. We can only express our surpr:s3 that the regiment was ever allowed to leave the Cape, and still more that it wa,s permitted to disembark, considering the conditions existing at the time of its arrival. It would have been far better to have incurred any cxpen e rather than expose a healthy regiment to the malarious influences of that climate ; and the authorities were apparently at one time of that opinion ; but, with an inexplicable vacillation on their part, the order for the return of the ship to the Cape was rescinded the day after it was given, and the regiment disembarked. We have no hesitation in saying that to lodge men, even for a day, at this season, with the thermometer sometimes as high as (..)3 deg. Fahrenheit, in barracks at Port Louis, where some 3),003 victims of the late fever were interred during the past year, was to expose them to imminent risk. It is true that our correspondents state that the regiment has been broken up into detach ments, and despatched to various outposts, but not before they had been already exposed to the noxious influ ences of Port Louis and its vicinity. Preparations, one would think, might have been made in anticipation of their arrival for immediately pushing the regiment on to the elevated non-malarious localities of the island. 11 these steps have been taken on the recommendation or with the concurrence of the army surgeons, then it clear member will L it e they are unfit for their posts, and if their opinions hav e been overruled, we should be glad to learn by whom, and reasons.to puta i f n or du w c h ed at required to justify the circumstances we have detailed.— order to elicit the information which is unquestionably that . some House of m Lancet. ques tion iV e °line D R j-,NNE,R.—The into tion (1 her Majesty to confer on Dr. Jenner the distinction of a baronetcy has been intimated in so gracious a manner as to enhance the value of the dignity. For a long period the accomplished physician has been honoured by the implicit confidence of the Queen, his position at the Court having been attained through repeated proofs of his scientific and skilful quali fications for the duties of so important a trust. The gazetting of Sir William Jenner will take place next Tuesday. While two little boys were playing by the side of the Regent's Canal the other day, a parcel came to the surface of the water, and they took it out. It was found to contain the body of a child, strangled, mutilated, burnt. The child, it was conjectured, had been born in a healthy condition, and at once strangled with a piece of string found tied round its neck. The murderers had tried to burn the body, but, finding they ran some risk of detec tion, they had finally thrown it into the water. It came to the surface to testify to the crime, but not to the crimi nals. No clue to them was obtained, and the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. DISMISSAL WITHOUT NOTICE. —A case of some ..nportance has been heard before Mr. Commissioner Kerr at the Sheriff's Court. A Mr. Haigh, formerly a clerk in Messrs. Banbury, Barnett, and Co.'s bank, Lombard. street, brought an action for wrongful dismissal without due notice, and for balance of wages. The defendants paid £l7 • ls 8d into court. Plaintiff had used disrespectful language to one of the gentlemen in the bank, and had absented himself from the balances, and a complaint being made to the heads of the house it was decided that he should be dismissed as an example to others. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £2l 53. i n a dditi on to the 111111 paiiinto court. Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., D 0 It A.
