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 HI. _ (b.) Furlough for a period not exceoling 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 furleugh under this clause an officer will not retain a lien 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 appointment, and will draw allowances as calculated under Rule VII., until that credit be exhausted, but in no case for a period ex ceeding one year.

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 t weep the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his station, an officer shall bo allowed subsidiary leave not ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days.

If two or more applicants are on an equality in this respect, the preferenc e s h a l l be given to th e 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 iu the case of an'ofacer who has taken long extraor dinary leave or lon g f ur l ough, from the d a t e o f his last return from such leave or furlough.

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 offi c i at i ng appointment, such lien and his acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by the officer to wh om th e substantive appointment belongs. XIX. In the same manner, and under the same condi tions, two or three months' privilege leave m a y be taken when an officer has compl e t ed cont i nuou s 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 instalinept being omitted from the calculation. Provided that the whole privilege leave taken at any one time shall not exceed three mon ths, and that no accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall be admitted. XXI. 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.ent for more than one week, his office shall become vacant. XXII. Privilege leave shall be reckoned as residence and service. CHAPTER 111. 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, tuutatis mutandis, apply to an officer overstaying special leave. XXV. Special leave may be 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 bo allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his absence be h e ld to be under the class of leave for which it was changed. XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will b 3 no restriction as to the places where an officer may reside when on leave. XXVIII. Leave allowance shall be payable monthly, if payment is taken in India, and quarterly if payment is taken in England. CRAPTER 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, be limited, as to allowance, to tho 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 he ag a in h o ld s an appointment carrying equal pay to that of the substan tive appointment which be last held, draw the subsistence allowance of his rank, together with 75 per cent. of the pay of any appointment in which lie 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 theirpromulgation. If he shall so elect, Rule XXX. shall not apply to him. RULES REGARDING ACTING ALLOWANCES. I. An officer holding a substantive appointment, and officiating in an appointment of a higher grade or class, shall draw acting allowance calculated at 80 per cent. on THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, A UGUST 1, 1868. the first 2,000 rs., and 20 per ceht. on the remainder of the pay of the appointment in which he is officiating. Provided that, if the acting allowance so calculated do not amount to two-thirds of the difference between the pay of the two appointam's, it shall be raised to two thirds. Provided further, that in no case shall the whole salary so drawn exceed the p•ay of the appointment in which the officer is officiatino.. IL. An officer holding no substantive, but only an offi ciatin; appointment, shall, subje;it to the provisoes in Rule 1., draw, in addition to the subsistence allowance o his rank, 50 per cent. of the ply of the appointment in which he is officiating. 111. In the c tse of an °Meer officiating in an appoint ment the ply of whici► is progressive, his acting allow ances be calcul ►ted on the mean pay of the said appointmenn►, provided that CI) whole salary so drawn shall not exceed the mininram pay of the said appoint ment. CLINTON. whit, as they would be held responsible for the genuine ness of the certificates. The New York Evening Post esti mates that the whole amount of the depression of shares which resulted from.the terror this excited amounted, at the lowest quotations made, to about $10,000,000. The amount of certificates altered were rising a thousand, and were severally ou the Cleveland and Pittsburg, Michigan Central, New York Central, Erie, 'Rock island, Fort Wayne, and racilic Mail. Throe huudr ,1 shares in Fort Wayne were admitted to re-transfer on the Looks before the forgery was discovered. The loss, ti.ere fore, falls on the company. in other cases brokers an I innocent bayors were bitten indiserim;nately, and there was a very interesting three or four days while every man in the city who held certificates of may kind was investigating the rather important question wheth any or all of it was fraudulent. The v llainy finally took much smaller dimensions than was at first supposed, but not until it had most irrationally driven back the whole line of stocks. A sirong attack was ma to on Now York Central, and it was forced down to 134. It had previ ously fallen•several per cent. on the announcement that the only dividend to be made at present was one of four per cent. cash, without a scrip dividend in addition, as had been expected. This event was the more marked, because it came upon a railway market buoyant and advancing. It has shown the insufficiency of existing precautions, and it will set the whole community of brokers at work devising new means of s-curity. Cotton closes for the week a Hale lower. Such a fact is of course worth a great deal more than anybo ly's con jecture or any amount of reasoning on the subject; but it is difficult to see how the decline can be permanent. If there is any virtue in the proportion between supply and demand cotton must recover. The most favourable cal culations of the coming crop do not bring the supply up to the figures of last year, and the demand for consump tion cannot be affected unless by a general decline in values. It is noticeable, however, that the prices of the material and of the manufactured goods, which have been apart for some' Weeka, --- 11(crov drawing together. While cotton has declined within two .or three days, staple cotton goods of all descriptions have shown an up ward tendency, and the week closes firm along the whole line, though as yet without any considerable advance in prices. Brown sheetings are half a cent bettor than last week, and the finer shirtings are as much higher. In prints the old stock has been pretty much worked off, and the market shows considerable activity. The wool market is strong, but without much activity. The new clip comes in slowly, particularly at the West, where wheat and hay are being harvested. The supply has been pretty thoroughly but quietly searched out, and the groat bulk of the crop has already been taken on the orders of the manufacturers. The season for woollens has not fairly begun, and not much can be said of the market. The coarser class of fabrics are in de mand for coatings and cloakings. Fine cloths are not sought for as yet. Tho importations of foreign dry goods continue greatly under the figures of 1867. The decline in breadstuffs continues. The figures reached are already very low, but nothing indicates that the movement is yet checked. Wheat is from 30e. to 40c. a bushel lower than two months ago, and all grades of flour from $2 to $3 a barrel. The encouraging reports of the crops forbid any expectations of a return to previous prices. When the grain of 1868 is fully harvested and poured on the market, a still further reduction is' likely to take place Provisions are higher in every direction. Pork has ad vanced 50c. to 75c. a barrel, and lard from 50c. to $1 per 1001 b. The demand is mainly speculative, as the call for consumption is as yet very slight. The advance, however, seems to have been well taken and likely to be sustained.

The market in London for American securities has since our last remained very steady. United States 5-20 Bonds have ruled from 721 to 721, with a moderate amount of transactions. Illinois shares have been somewhat weaker. Erie gave way to 42k, but have improved on some large purchases, and closed firm at 431 to 41. A very important business is daily done in the securities of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, especially in the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds and Debentures. The approach of the half-monthly settlement induced some sales to realise pro fits, and so cause a decline for a day or two, but on good buying for the new account, they rapidly advanced to 41, at which they closed firm. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. Since our last, two most important meetings, as affecting the interest of the Atlantic and Great Western, have been held, the one a meeting of Debenture-holders, and the other a meeting called by the Committee appointed by all classes of bondholders ; at this latter meeting that Com mittee resigned its functions, and three of its members, it will have been noted with satisfaction, have agreed to join the Board. The Chairman of the Debenture-holders' Committee also joins the Board, thus a unity of action is secured, which paves the way for removing the Receiver, and placing the railroad under the management of its Board of Directors, and the officers to be by them ap pointed. It now remains for Bond and Debenture holders to assist the directors by sending in their Coupons for capi talisation as quickly as possible. The result of the decided course Mr. Al'Henry has pur med in resolutely defending the creditors of the road, under whatever denomination, from the efforts of parties whose evident object was to break up and sell the concern, and so cause immense loss to security holders in Europa, is shown by the advance in the price of Bonds and Debentures since January last, when his first step was taken by getting a Board appointed at the annual meeting, pledged to aid him in camiog out this object. The Consolidated Bonds, Ivhich stood at 18, are now more than double that figure, and Debentures have risen in a similar proportion. His subsequent exertions in bringing about the recent arrangement with the creditors of the road are well known, and we have no doubt that his future labours, assisted as he will be by Mr. Laing, who goes out with him to America at the end of August, will bring about such a reform in the administration of the road, and such arrangements as regards traffic, espe cially coal and corn, as to tell very materially and favour ably on the net earaings, and consequent ability to meet engagements.

NEWSPAPEP half-yearly meeting of this fund was held on Friday, "the office, 24, Cecil-street, Strand ; Mr. C. L. Gruneisen in the chair. The report, which was adopted on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr. J. H. Doyle, t 'stated that the committee regarded the progress of the institution as highly assuring. In their last report they spoke with confidence of a large prospective increase in the number of members. This anticipation has been realised by an accession of 30 new members, shewing in the aggregate an enrolment of 240, of whom 162 are resident in London, and the remaining 78 in the country. The grants during the past year amounted to £IGS, and the cases were of such a character as to afforct conclusive proof of the utility an 1 value of the institution. The annual dinner took place at Willis's Rooms on the Gth June, under the presidency of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and was in all respects a signal success. The donations amounted to £l,OlO 195., A:625 of which NT :IA received at the close of the half•year, and the balance is in progress of collection. This very mate rial increase of the society's funds was obtained at an actual expenditure, immediately connected with the dinner of £lO9 Gs. Ga. The investments, balance at the bankers', and donations receivable, exclusive of the annual income from members' subscripticm, amounted to £4,744 on the 30th June. Vacancies in the committee of manage. meat having been filled up, votes of thanks were passed to the president, vice-presidents, auditors, secretary and chairman, and the proceedings terminated. ~~ PRICE.... ld. STAMPRD 5d TRADES UNIONS AND FREE LABOUR. UNITED SOCIETY OF IRONMONGERS. The following correspondence between Mr. William Atherton, chairman of the directors of the Royal Liver Friendly Society, and Mr. Tidd Pratt, Registrar of Friendly Societies, London, has been published:— " Royal Liver Friendly Society's Offices, 16, Prescot-strect, Liverpool, July, 7th, 1868. "Sir,—ln the report which appeared in the London Standard of the 2nd inst. of the proceedings which took place at the forty-second anniversary dinner of the United Society of Ironmongers, held at the Freemasons' Tavern on Monday, the Ist instant, it is stated that in replying to the toast of your health you made the following assertions : " 'His experience of friendly societies was very large, and the Society of Ironmongers was one of the best conducted that came under his notice ; there were many that were downright swindles. Among the latter were to be classed more particularly some burial societies which insured people from one day to eighty years old. They had agents throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. One in Liverpool bragged that it had 500,000 members, and the expenses of that society were enormons. It received yearly in shillings and pence £130,000. The commmittee con sisted of eight members, and according to the return made to Parliament, each of these gentlemen received £454 a year, or 20s. a day for his services. That statement had since been corrected by a gentleman who said that that amount had been increased to £520 a year, or £lO a week. The treasurer received £650 or £670, and he (➢lr. Tidd Pratt) considered this a downright swindle of the poor man, because it was utterly impossible that if the society's affairs were wound up the various members could receive what they were entitled to.' " As one of the committee of management of the Royal Liver Friendly Society, I have to request you will inform me whether you are correctly reported as having math the above statement, and also whether the charges and insi nuations contained therein were intended by you to apply to the directors or managers of the Royal Liver Friendly Society, whose chief offices are in Liverpool. Awaiting your reply, I am, Sir, oLediently yours, " WILLIAM ATIIERTON. " . John Tidd Pratt, Esq., Friendly Socictics Offices, Abingdon-street, London." " London, July 9, 1868. "Sir,--In reply to yours of the 7th inst., I have to in form you that I am not correctly reported in the state ment you refer to, and that the publication in the news paper was not with my authority, knowledge, or consent. I take this opportunity of requesting you to send me a copy of your last annual statement, as well as the amount of the existing liabilities of your society.—Yours faith• fully, " J. TIDD PRATT. " W. Atherton, Esq., Royal Liver Society, Liverpool." " Royal Liver Friendly Society's Offices, 16, Frescot-street. Liverpool, July 9th, 186 S. " Sir,—l am in receipt of your favour of the 13th inst. It is to me a matter of great surprise that if you were not correctly reported in the several newspapers in which appeared the remarks imputed to you, and to which I have in my former letter referred, you should for so long a period have allowed them to pass uncontradicted, thereby tacitly ada.itting their authenticity, and allowing that which yuu now state to have been `incorrectly reporte I ' to circulate widely on your authority tome and my colleagues' serious injury. I cannot help remarking that it is very unlikely that charges so grave should have been gratuitously and without foundation reported as having been made by you. " Admitting your denial of these charges, I shall spare neither cost nor trouble to trace to you their utterance, as I do not feel at all disposed on your repudiation to attri bute to the newspaper press so wantonly cruel and unfounded a charge of swindling as imputed to me and n:y colleagues in the reports given of your after-dinner speech. —I am, sir, obediently yours, " WILLIAM ATHERTON.

THE FINANCIAL REFOr.3I UNION.—The Finan cial Reform Union has held one of its serial meetings in the Town Hall, Woolwich. Mr. Richard Moore presided. There was a very crowded attendance. Mr. Noble, Mr. Baxter LangleY, the chairman, and others addressed the meeeing, and a branch of the association was formed for Woolwich. The Financial Union has now in course of circulation an address calling upon the representatives of the people in the coming Parliament to inaugurate a reign of financial economy. This address has, it is stated, been most influentially signed. THE QUE EN'S VISIT TO TIIE CONTINENT. —Wo some time since mentioned the date of the Queen's de. parture for a short residence in Switzerland, under the advice of Sir William Jenner ; Lot the details have been necessarily open to modification. Her Majesty will, as we stated, take her departure from Osborne on Wednes day next, will stop a day, or part of a day, in Paris, and will reach her residence at Lucerne on tl.e Friday. The Queen, who will be accompanied by Sir William Jenner, will maintain a strict incognito during her residence, so that her Majesty may be enabled to command a few weeks of comparative repose, which, with change of air, is deemed highly necessary for her Majesty's health. Lord Stanley will take his departure on the 6th ; but will not " join" her Majesty in Paris. On the con trary, he will also spend a day in the French capital, pro. bably seeing M. de Moustier, and will not arrive at Lucerne until tlje Saturday, The most remarkable events (says the Times) which have recently occurred in connection with trades unions in the metropolis have been the secession of a number of the members of the Tailors' Protective Society from that body and the formation by the secessionists of an inde pendent association, which aims at reconciling the in terests of employers and employed. The promoters of the new Society allege that they have retired from the Protective Association on account of the mal-administra. tion of its funds during the strike of last year. At their first meeting the chairman stated that during part of the period alluded to, while the operatives were receiving an insignificant " scale," the executive of the Protective Society y were not only drawing considerable salarie s from the funcle,btit were also charging considerable sums to the treasurers for travelling expenses. The chairman on the oc casion to which we have referred, also stated that while the principles of the new society were .favourably consi dered by a large number of the masters, they had been re jected or deprecated by most of the men to whom they were submitted. The meeting was interrupted by a section of the Protective. Society, who had evidently attended for the purpose of obstructing the proceedings, and the chairman was addressed by some of the most prominent among their number in language so extravagant and scar rilous as to afford a significant example of the tyrannical action of 'those who inveigh with such vehemence against the oppression which they urge they are compelled to suffer at the hands of their employers. One young man who had supported a resolution recommending the meeting to sup. port the new organisation was evidently so terrified by the manifestation of feeling evinced against it that be retracted all that he said, on the ground that he did not under stand the purport of the proposition of which he was advocating the adoption. The council of the new society will, we understand, comprise an equal number of masters and operatives. Though it has been sought to frustrate its institution by the most strenuous opposition, the numerous accessions which have been recently made to its ranks afford hope that success will follow the efforts of the men who are opposing those who are endeavouring to secure the monopoly of labour by the most unscrupulous agencies. • rt • ,A. 4: tri r ts ) dc:,, , ,1f - 6,-te'r • • '•-•• . • - • 4 "7 g FFAAiY'-fYay.,.4 10 , , 49. g - .48 4 ` • Vlirataikzqt;il _ f „ zerr . 7J , rppur APARTMEN FS.—Part of a Ten-rqomed House, pleasantly situated in Islington.—Apply at No. 6, Crowland-terrace, Englelield-road, N.

FRIDAY EVENING, July 17. Money continues everywhere easy, without any pre monitions of a change, or any discoverable reason for it. The condition of the market at New York amounts to ab solute plethora, and even the slight improvement in rates results as much from speculation engendered by this excess as from any actual quickening of the demand for legitimate business purposes. It will probably be found this year that no such tremendous amount of money is required to move the crops" from the West, as it has been cus tomary to make allowance for. There was always a great deal of humbug about this cry. Moving the crops has generally meant not moving them; and cur rency has been wanted, not to carry them to market, but to " carry " them for a rise. Every addition to its volume has played into the hands of speculators and monopolists, and has defeated the natural movement of the crops. IG isn't likely, however, that there will be much grain bought up to hold over for the next three months, and we shall probably find the demand from the West very moderate which, considering that the bulk of grain to be moved is uncommonly large, ought to be enough to convince any man that the supposed necessity of a periodical expansion of the dreading medium to meet the wants of trade is a perfect delusion. Gold has risen in a very marked manner during the week, and though it does not quite hold up to its highest figures at the close, it has made a very decided advance, which there is every reason to believe it will make good. The rise cannot justly be attributed to the manipulations of the secretary, nor to the completion of the Alaska pur chase, but to the heavy and long continued drain of specie in the past, the export for the year thus far having been nearly double that of the same period of 1867. The balance against this country is constantly increasing, notwithstanding the reduction in the aggregate amount, of imports. This indebtedness we are paying cff in specie, which is a legitimate product and export of the United States, to be sure, but is not so to such an extent, nor indeed at this time at all. The absolute loss of gold and silver to the country by export, above receipts, has boon 30 millions since January 1. This, it must be con fessed, does not look much like resuming specie payments. Cash gold remains easy. Double eagles still continue in demand for export, and bear a premium of to 3-16 per cent. Bills on London rule 110: for 60 days and 1101 short sight. Governments have profited by the rise in gold and by the discredit attaching to railways from the discovery of the Broad -street forgeries, and have made a decided ad vance during the week, on a large business done. In London our bonds have not yet recovered from the evil effects of the domocrati,; denunciations, and remain at their lowest figures, nearly down to 72, whereas a week ago they stood above 75 ; but at home the action of the Con vention has already ceased to affect the public confidence in the national credit. The " manifest destiny" of the democracy leaves no terror in their threats. It Yet re mains to bo seen how the funding bill will influence the premium on the six per cents. AL New York the im port duties for the week have been $4,363,244 against $5,412,576 same week last year. The export clear ances of domestic produce, $2,452,598 against $3,075,579. The export of specie, $3,947,891 against $4,659,935. Since January 1, 1868, the gold values of import. entries at New York amount t 0 .5131,284,836 against $141,413,565 same period 1867 ; currency value of exports for the same time, $90,941,760 against $102,352,598. Exports of specie, $55,378,860 against $30,964,569. Deliveries of California gold and silver, $23,295,754 against $14,793,540. Customs receipts, $59,457,862 against $64,118,511. Gold interest paid, $54,077,367 against $35,993,329. _ Wall and Broad-streets have hada decidedly unpleasant panic in those sober and discreet localities. On Friday last there were rumours that Certificates had been altered, which grew on Saturday to certainty, and gave the whole line of stocks "a turn," such as the holders will not soon forgot. The forgery was not a skilful one, and its success has ex posed the weakness of the present safeguards of this species of property. A few weeks ago a new firm, "C. W. White and C 0.," put out their shingle on Broad- street. Being mo dest, these new comers contented themselves with buying in very small quantities, mostly Certificates, f)r one, two, or five shares. This was every way commendable for young dealers. But what followed does not call for such unqualified praise. .From over-eagerness to realise largo and immediate profits, C. W. White and Co., by a judicious application of lemon juice and the judicious manipulation of a pen, turned these all into certificates for olio hundred shares each, cashed them readily, put out a card that their house was closed "on account of the death of Mr. White," who had indeed "gone to a better land," and left inconi, tinontly for elsewhere, with a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold For a while on the first discovery of this fraud s there was a general stampede in the srreet and at the boards, an•i immense stocks were sacrificed from fear that they might be affected, though foolishly enough, since if so the transfers Would not have helped the sellers a mo 4 IL
