STAMPED SPORTING IN KIEL LIGE OE. BRIGHTON CLUB MEETING —THURSDAY. The atteudauce on the Club day, which usually attracts a large muster, was the smallest of the week, and is en tirely attributable to the unpropitious et ate of the weather, rain falling in drizzling showers throughout the entire afterooon, rendering matters very uncomfortable for the occupants of the Stand and the carriages. All the covered places were crowded, and every one was glad when the racing concluded, for, on account of the rain and the heave sea-mist, none of the contest; could be son until the competitors were with'n a short distance of the win ning-post. The sport was of a very poor character, and the fields very short. Mail 'a, with high odds betted on her, had little difficulty in beating Veda's sister for the Club Biennial Stakes ; whilst 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. In the Club Stakes the gentlemen riders had the satisfaction of beating the professionals, as Mr. Bevill won with President Lincoln, who started with the call of his opponents, of horn Pevensey's chance was oxtinguishel by his being left at the post. Birdseek,r did not gain more friends for the Lewcs Handicap by his defeat by Cock of the Walk in the Club Biennial, but the Danebury horse is a fairish animal at a mile. in 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 ono bookmaker laid against him, and he booked the extreme odds of 100 to 3, which ho repeatedly offered afterwards. The favourites were successful in the two succeeding races, though in tho handicap for beaten horses, which closed on the course, Charles 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.

These Rules will take effect from the Ist July, 1868, and are not intended to apply to Covenanted Civil Servants, who are Members of the Councils of the Governor-General, or of the Governors of Bombay and Madras, or who are Judges of a High Court. RULES REGARDING LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO COVENANTED CIVIL SERVANTS. DEFINITIONS. I. In the following Rules— " Actual Service" includes the period during which an officer is on duty, also periods spent on privilege and sub sidiary leave, and periods during which an officer, not on leave, may be out of employ on subsistence allowance in India. "Extraordinary Leave" means any leave granted other wise than under these Rules. " Long Extraordinary Leave" means extraordinary leave extending beyond a period of three months. " Long Furlough" mans furlough extending beyond a period of three months. " Salary" includes acting allowances. An Officer's "Station" means that station to which ho stands appointed, cr such other place as the Government to which he is subordinate may determine. CHAPTER I. FURLOUGH. 11. The maximum period of furlough, which can be granted to any officer during the whole period of his ser vice is limited to six years. 111. Subject to the above limit, one year's furlough shall be placed to the credit of each officer for every four years of actual service. IV. No furlough shall be taken before the completion of eight years' actual service, except under Rule VIII. V. Furlough shall not be repeated until three years from the date of the last return from long extraordinary leave, or long furlough, except under Rule VIII. Leave taken under Chapters 11. and 111., but no other leave, shall be reckoned as part of the said three years. VI. The maximum term of furlough to be taken at any one time shall be two years. VII. Except as hereinafter provided, an officer when on furlough shall retain a lien on his substantive appoint ment, or on an appointment of similar character and not less salary, and he shall be granted allowances at the rate of 50 per cent. of his average salary for the previous three years, or for the period which has elapsed since his last return from long furlough, or long extraordinary leave, if that period be less than three years. In calculating such average, the time spent and the allowances drawn under any leave, excepting privilege leave under Chapter 11., shall be omitted. Provided that no officer on furlough shall draw more than £1,200 or less than £3OO per annum. VIII. Under Medical Certificate (a.) Furlough may be taken on the above-mentioned conditions, without reference to the amount at credit under Rule 111. (h.) Furlough for a period not came ling one year may be taken, even if less than three years have elapsed since the last return from long extraordinary leave or long fur lough. When on furlcugh under this clause an officer will not retain a lion on his appointment, and will be en titled only to subsistence allowance, unless ho has com pleted six months actual service since his last return from long extraordinary leave or long furlough, and there re main some leave to his credit under Rule 111., in which case the officer will retain a lien on his appoiutment, and will draw arowances as calculated under Rule VII., until that credit be exhausted, but in no case for a period ex ceeding one year. (e.) Furlough taken without medical certificate, or under clause (a) of this Rule, may be extended beyond fwe years for a period not exceeding one year. When on fur lough under this clause an officer will not retain a lien on his appointment, and will be entitled only to subsistence allowance. IX. Furlough taken or extended under Rule VIII. is subject to the provision of Rule 11. X. Furlough taken in India will be reckoned from the date of the officer quitting , his station to the date of his return thereto. Furlough taken out of India will be reckoned from the date of embarkation to the date of return. In the event of the furlough being taken partly in India, and partly out of India, the commencement and termina tion of the furlough will be determined by the above Rules, according as the furlough begins or ends in or out of India. XI. For the interval elapsing between departure from his station and the commencement of furlough, and be tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave not ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days. During those periods his allowances; will be calculated in the same way as his furlough allowances, but without limitation as to maximum and minimum. Provided that, if the officer has, under these Rules, lost his lien on his appointment, he shall draw subsistence allowance of his rank. Subsidiary leave shall count as service and residence. XII. Applications for furlough will in all cases be sub mitted to the Government to which the applicant is sub ordinate, and will be dealt with in such manner as the Governor-General of India in Council may from time to time prescribe. XIII. Subject to the exigencies of the service, both as regards the number of furloughs availabie at any one time, and as regards indivi.lual applications, of which exigencies the Government of India, Madras, or Bomba-, as the case may be. shall be exclusively the judge, furloughs will be granted under these Rules. XIV. All applications for furlough under medical certi ficate, in accordance with these Rules, will be granted without restriction. XV. lf, owing to the exigencies of the service, it may be necessary to place any limit on the number of officers who may be absent on furlough at the same time, applica tions not supported by medical certificate will be granted in the following order:— The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of furlough remains under Rule 111, shall have the preference. If two or more applicants are on an equality in this respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant, whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India, and in the case of an officer who has taken long extraor dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last return from such leave or furlough. If two or more applicants are equal in both respects, the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada tion List. XVI. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall be 21 years, but no leave, except privilege leave and sub sidiary leave, shall count as residence. XVII. The term of service qualifying for pension shall be 25 years. CHAPTER PRIVILEGE LEAVE. XVIII. Subject to the exigencies of the State, an officer who has completed eleven months' continuous duty may take privilege leave for one month without deduction from his salary . , retaining a lien on his appointment, whether substantive or officiating , . Provided that, in the case of his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by the officer to whom the substantive appointment belongs. XIX. In the same manner, and under the same condi tions, two or three months' privilege leave may be taken when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty two or twenty-three months respectively. XX. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local Government, be taken in separate instalments. No second instalment shall be taken until after the completion of six months' continuous duty from the expiry of the first in stalment. In this case the eleven months qualifying for fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from the expiry of the first instalment, the period of the second instalment being omitted from the calculation. Provided that the whole privilege leave taken at any one time shall not exceed three months, and that no accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall be admitted, X.XI. If an officer shall over-stay his privilege leave, he shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so absent ; and, if he shall so continue ab. est for more than one week, his office shall become vacant. XXII. Privilege leave shall be reckoned as residence and service. CHAPTER HI. SPECIAL LEAVE. XXIII. Special leave, on urgent private affairs, may be granted at the discretion of the local Government for a period not exceeding six months. In respect of retention of a lieu on appointment, of allowances drawn during the leave, and of subsidiary leave, the conditions of special leave shall be the same as those prescribed for furlough. Special leave shall not be reckoned as residence. XXIV. Rule XXI. shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to an officer overstaying special leave. XXV. Special leave may bo repeated without allow ances after intervals of at least six years' actual service. 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 shall be held to bo under the class of leave for which it was changed. XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will 133 no restriction as to the places where an officer may reside when on leave. XXVIII.

XXX. Any officer now in the service shall, when next prccecding on furlough, elect whether ho 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, iu any future furlough, be limited, as to allowance, to the lower maximum rate of £l, 000 per annum. XXXI. Any officer now absent on leave, who has no appointment, may, on his return, and until ho again holds an appointment carrying equal pay to that of the substan tive appointment which he last hell, draw the subsistence allowance of his rank, together with 75 per cent. of the pay of any appointment in which he shall officiate.

IfAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN .1.4 EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for foar of suffoca tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it. Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8, King William-street, Charmg-cross, London, and by all druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one, 2s. 9d. each.

Johnstone, in his report on the Lan. cashire Church Schools, observes :—" Tho incomes which are made in some of these schools aro very large. The average of the salaries returned by the masters in one town is over £l3O 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 ell 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 etro:ument of a teacher received out of the school income. Men rare!y make themselves out richer than they are, and from the opportunities which there are 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 wolso paid body of men than they really are. As it is, their own returns shew them to be in the receipt of the follow ing average payments : —Masters, £9B 14s. ; mistresses (girls'), £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. S 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, let Sussex ; second, 12th Kent ; third, 3rd Essex ; fourth, 2nd Sussex. THE PARKS AT NIGHT. 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 snore 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 be ever have business in the City ? In the flood tide of commerce, when Cernhill 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, are 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 correspondent deserves especial commen€lation, and suggests practical thought. Quoting the Rev. James Fraser, Education Commissioner of the Privy Council in America, R.' 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 regulation, 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.—An 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. 12G. An old widow lady named Lock has just died at the age of 92, in Newport, in the Isle of Wight. She 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 GO years ago. The recently discovered islands in the Pacific Ocean are 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.—Her 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. On 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 lie had only found a mare's nest. It was shewn 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 removed from the pestiferous island of St. Thomas, and an influen. tinily 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 say that " the island of Barbadoes stands out clear beyom3 all the other iilands, and that from Barbadoes to Color the course is clear from one end to the other. That /it island of the northern group can hold out such advantages. That Barba,locs is abundantly supplied with excollent water. That Carlisle Bay is an excellent roadstead, anC has natural advantages for carrying out a breakwater 11 pier. That the steamers, by shaping their course for v southern instead of a northern West Indian island, wouk have the benefit of three days' trade winds to on e , an d wou k save from 12 to 20 hours in every passage. That Batba. does is also contiguous to Trinidad and British Guiana. which three colonies together ship three-fourths of Ott sugar received from the British possessions in the West Indies, and that Carlisle Bay can be entered at all hour: 9f the day and night. _ I`
