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. Tho 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 bo taken on the above-mentioned conditions, without reference to the amount at credit under Rule 111. __ (b.) Furlough for a period not exceeding 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 lien on his appointment, and will be en titled only to subsistence allowance, unless he 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. (c.) Furlough taken without medical certificate, or under clause (a) of this Rule, may bo extended beyond fwo 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. XL 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 available at any one time, and as regards individual applications, of is hick exigencies the Government of India, Madras, or Bombay, 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 ou furlough at the sa:ne time, applica tions not supported by medical certificate will be granted iu 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. Tho term of residence qualifying for pension shall bo 21 years, but no leave, except privilege leave and sub sidiary leave, shall count as residence. XVII. The term o f serv i ce qua lif y i ng f or pens i on s h a ll be 25 years. CHAPTER 11. 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 front the calcuhtio - t. Provided that the whole l rivilego leave taken at any one time shall not exceed three months, and that no accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall be admitted. - XXI. If an officer shall over-stay his privilege leave, ho shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so absent; and, if he shall so continue abseat 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 bo reckoned as residence. XXIV. Rule XXI. shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to an officer overstaying spacial 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 be allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his absence shill be held to be under the class of leave for which it was chi-inged. 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. :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, be limited, as to allowance, to the lower maximum rate of £lOOO per annum. XXXI. Any officer now absent on leave, who hits 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 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 auy 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 bo 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.

CUDITB, 50c. 65 Queen-otreet,Qhetiptaide• " PAINLESS DENTISTRY 1" A NEW PAAIPIILET, Freo by post for four stamps. ESSR S. GABRIEL, (Established 1815.) London SS, Ifarloy-street, Cavendish-square, W. 61, Ludgato-hill, Liverpool 134, Duko-stroot, and Brighton ATTENDANCE DAILY. There is a story in the published life of T. P. Barnum, which will not be new to some of our readers. A gentleman came into the great show man's museum one day, inquired for its proprietor, and expressed a particular wish to see "the club with which Captain Cook was murdered." He was conducted to a glass case, from which the weapon was carefully lifted and delivered into his hand. " Ah, Mr. Barnum," said the stranger, on returning the club to its owner, after gazing upon it with apparent interest, "I was sure I should find it here. I have been to five museums, and every one of them had the club that Captain Cook was murdered with, and I was sure yours would not be without it." On the principle that it would never do to be without anything that the public demands, a Dublin journal has published an analysis of the report of the Irish Church Com mission, which was " laid on the table " of the House of Commons on the last day of the session. It appears, however, that it was only in a peculiar and Parliamentary sense that the report was thus presented. There are forms to be observed in these things, and often when we read in the Par liamentary reports that this or that bill was laid on the table, the so-called bill was merely a piece of blank paper folded in the accustomed manner, and endorsed with a title and the names of its in troducers. This Irish Church report, it now ap pears, was a dummy ; the report itself is not com plete, nor will it be for a month, and the full and interesting particulars supplied by our contempo rary must have been derived from some other source. There is something appropriate in this close attendance of fiction and unreality upon the fortunes of the Irish Church. For all the purposes of a national establishment of religion that Church itself is only a gigantic dummy.—Daily News. The Irish Central Protestant Defence Associa tion have passed a resolution repudiating the calumny uttered by Mr. Gladstone in addressing his constituents in South Lancashire, that " Ireland is at present only in a degree removed from civil war." They appeal to the remarkable absence of crime at the late assizes, and to the fact that " not a single individual, native or foreign, is now in im prisonment under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act," as proof that the country is iu a state of quietude. Last night Mr. J. Baxter Langley delivered an address in the Lecture Hall, Woolwich, to the elec tors of the borough in support of the candidature of the Right ILn. W. E. Gladstone, and in expla nation and vindication of his financial pollen and his resolutions on the Irish Church. Mr M'Cubry occup:ed the chair, the Lecture Hall (which holds 700 or 800) being filed to excess. 1)/r. J.'BAXTEII LANGLEY spoke in favour of the objent of the meeting. He had more th in once stated to the electors that he was prepared to retire at any- time if the Liberals brought forward a can didate of greater political experience and ability than himself. When he stated that he had no idea that events would have brought about the very con dition of things in which he would be called upon to redeem his promise. This, however, he did on the very earliest occasion by publicly declaring his intention to withdraw from his candidature, and to bring all the support he could to secure the triumphant return of the ac knowledged leader of the Liberal party. To have the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone to sit for Green wich would be an honour to the constituency. In Mr. Gladstone they would have an able statesman, a studied politician, a man of great Parliamentary experience, debating power, and indisputable finan cial ability. The electors of the borough of Green wich almost unanimously felt that the election of Mr. Gladstone for Greenwich would be an immense service to the Liberal party. His exclusion from the new Parliament would be a national calamity ; whilst his double or triple return would be a build ing up and consolidation of his power—a just and deserving tribute to his eminent ability, high integ rity, and honest statesmanship; whilst it would also tend to unite all sections of the Liberal party, and furnish significant evidence to Mr. Gladstone's detractors that the people of England are pre pared to follow him as leader. He then answered the question, " Who is Gladstone? " by stating that he was born in 1809, being the son of a mer chant, his family being identified with commercial interests. He received a highly classical education at Eton, and closed his college career in 1831 by taking the highest honours attainable. He entered Parliament the following year—the year in which the Reform Bill was passed—and, like many ether public men, imbibed a tinge of the revolutionary and exciting times prevailing at the time of his en tering public life. In 1834 he took office under Sir Robert Peel, and had an important part in the adjustment of the fiscal system of the country. He traced Mr. Gladstone's political career till his first budget, which left a surplus of three millions, and which he cited as proof of his great financial ability. He passed in review Mr. Gladstone's other finan cial measures in the abolition of taxes on know ledge, articles of food, fire insurance, reduc tion of Income Tax, resulting in the country being relieved to, the extent of ten mil lions. He then referred to Mr. Gladstone's policy in connection with the Reform Bill of 1866, and his latter measure co undo what should never have been done, by the disendowmeut and disestablish ment of the Irish Church. He concluded his address as follows : —" I have thus passed rapidly in review the paramount circumstances connected with the public life of a man of whom I have said elsewhere that he was the ablest and most earnest statesman of modern times. There are men who have lived in my time who on particular questions have been greater and braver, and who will be esteemed by posterity as the great men of the age. Of such were Joseph Hume, the unrewarded guardian of the national finances in evil days ; of such was Richard Cobden, whose name is almost hallowed as the missionary of peace and th.. 3 apostle of free trade ; of such, too, is • one who still lives and works amongst us—Cobden's fellow la bourer, the unswerving tribune of the people— John Bright. But as a practical statesman, com bining earnest conviction with remarkable finan cial ability, with oratory and power of leadership, there is no man who stands so high as William Ewart Gladstone. (Cheers.) No man now in the House of Commons better deserves the gratitude and affectionate confidence of the people. As a pupil of Peel he is greater than his master. His financial schemes have been uniformly successful ; and though denounced by Mr. Disraeli as " a con spirator against the State," and by Lord Derby as "a reckless State gambler," he stands to-day, be- ; fore not only England but in the eyes of all Europe, as the foremost financier of the present century. Ide'found our Exchequer an instrument of oppres sion, by which the industry of the country was taxed for the benefit of the rich and idle. Ile entered political life when England's treasury was on the verge of bankruptcy, owing to the tactics of Lord Derby and his party ; and, despite Conservative opposition, he has emancipated trade, relieved industry of its burdens, and made our financial position the admiration and wonder of civilised na tions. And shall we allow a fanatical Opposition to send the illustrious public servant into obscurity when he has entered upon even a greater and more important work than that which he has hitherto achieved ? It is a great thing to free the means by which we live, but it is a greater thing to give free dom to those influences which make life worth liv ing for. Man does not live by bread alone. If freedom had been beneficial to commerce, I believe that it will be a thousandfold of greater advantage to religion ; and if by the recognition of religious equality we draw nearer our sister Ireland, so long, so cruelly estranged, we shall find, as in all Mr. Gladstone's estimates, that the results are far more beneficent than even he himself had taught us to expect. The following resolution was carried with enthu siasm That the thanks of the Liberal electors of the district of Woolwich are hereby tendered to Mr. J. Baxter Langley for his able and elaborate vindication of the financial and ecclesiastical policy of the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone, and this meet ing pledges itself to co-operate with the committee established to secure Mr. Gladstone's return as re presentative of the borough of Greenwich." The most extraordinary rainfall ever known in Nottingham took place on Tueslay morning. There were two distinct storms, both accompanied by thunder and lightning. The first commenced precisely at eight o'clock and terminated at half past eight, and during the half-hour the rain gauges, which are kept in three different parts of the town under the direction of the corporation surveyor and architect, and which are similar to those at the Greenwich Royal Observatory, showed a fall of 0.386 inch, or at the rate of more than three-quarters of an inch to the hour. The second and more violent storm commenced at 9.15 a.m., and terminated at 9.35. During these twenty minutes the rain gauges showed a fall of 0.680 inch, being at the rate of two inches of rainfall per hour. The total rainfall iu fifty minutes was 1.066 inches. The weight of rain in the town or borough of Nottingham was the enormous amount of 201,000 tons, which is equivalent to upwards of 45,000,000 gallons, or, in other words, equal to the whole water supply to the inhabitants of the borcugh for thirty-five days. The streets were flooded, some of the sewers were burst, and in some of the thoroughfares cab horses plied up to their knees in water. For four months pre viously there had been scarcely a shower. A Vermont paper says that during the recent hot weather in that State there were 83 cases of sun stroke, 29 of which were fatal. This number is considered remarkable for Vermont. Among those who died were two little girls, who were found dead in the field. In some of the northern towns the thermometer ranged from 105 degrees to 108 degrees, and in one instance is reported at 109 degrees, New Voting Old ~,r eaa Lists. Regi s te r . e.

TIM GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA According to the latest tumour Lord Mayo will not go it India after all. Sir Stafford Northeote is again first favou rite for the appointment. It is said that Lord Mayo himself never wished for the appointment, but that it was in a man ner forced on his acceptance. The Chief Secretary for Ire land may not be the fittest man to succeed Sir J. Lawrence, but it will be satisfactory to find that he has recognised be comingly the universal exclamation of astonishment which saluted his selection for the Government of India.—Express. The Pall Mall Gazette thus delivers itself:—" if the in tentions of the Ministry may be inferred from the state ments of Conservative journals, Lord Mayo will be made Governor-General of India in spite of all the remonstrances that may be offered. The reasons given for the appointment are these :—Lord Mayo 84- pressed the Phcenix societies and " crushed" the Fenian plot, he has long Parliamentary experience, genial manners, and great industry. With regard to the Fenians, it may bo as well to wait a few months be fore concluding that we have heard the last of them. The objection to Lord Mayo is not that he is a Conservative, but that for obvious reasons the Viceroy of India ought to be a man of great readiness and tact, and of first-class administrative ability, and it would be the wildest flattery to attribute these qualifications to Lord Mayo. That he is "as good" as some Liberal peers that ma, be named is nothing to the purpose. What we have maintained is that party considerations ought to occupy a secondary place in the choice of this great official, and that supreme personal fitness should be the ono thing sought for. A few years ago, before Si John Lawrence was appointed, the Anglo-Indians speculated upon the probability of Mr. Disraeli himself being sent out as Viceroy. They did not complain of this prospect, and could he now show so little appreciation of their generosity as to make ruler over them a nobleman whose talents have only been shown in sup pressing the Phoenix societies ?" MR. GLADSTONE AND THE ELECTORS OF THE SALFORD HUNDRED. The Manchester Examiner has been requested by the South-East Lancashire Liberal Registration Committee to publish the following letter, addressed to the chairman, Mr. R. N. Philips, M.P. : " Hawarden, August 3, 1868. "My dear Mr. Philips, I have decided, under the advice of experienced friends, that it is my duty, with a ♦iew to the general interest, to become a candidate for South-West Lancashire at the approaching election. The facts presented to us by the state and views of the con stituency are such as to leave no doubt whatever on my mind with respect to the propriety of this step, and they have, as you probably know, made my friends in the south-western division feel it to be an imperative duty to bring forward a second candidate. You will join in our satisfaction, and I hope we may take it as an omen of complete triumph in the Salford Hundred. Yet I am conscious that I am saying farewell to a body of political friends in that hundred, as able and energetic, as generous and indulgent as any man could desire to see rallied round him, and I cannot part from them without tendering to them, through you, the expression of my lasting gratitude. Pray accept also for yourself that large share of my thanks which is so richly your due. Believe me, my dear Mr. Philips, most faithfully yours, " W. E. GLADSTONE." The Express says : " The intelligence from South Lan cashire is most favourable to Mr. Gladstone's chances of success. The Liberal element in Lord Derby's county is far stronger than was supposed ; though in North Lancashire Colonel Wilson Patten's seat is considered safe, and the real contest will be, it is said, between Lord Hartington and Mr. Stanley. The few Liberals who have deprecated Mr. Gladstone's selection of his field of contest will be doubly gratified if he succeeds ; and it is at least satisfactory to know that the miserable personalities showered upon him have had no effect upon his personal reception by the electors. The further we see into the tone and character of the elections the more clearly does it appear that Mr. Gladstone has the confidence of the great body of the people. The attempts so strenuously and unscrupulously made to convert our pulpits into canvassing booths have not hitherto fulfilled the end they were designed to compass. The petitions lying for signature in parson ages, the appeals in church, the confusion of things spiritual and things temporal, the profane prayers for electioneering success, are, we are willing to believe, exceptional. That such things are possible at all is unfortunate for the people, and still more unfortunate for the Church." the first 2,000 rs., and 20 per cent. on the remainder of the pay of the• appointment in which he is officiating.

At the annual meeting of the Cotton Supply Associa tion, at Manchester, some interesting facts were given with respect to our supply of cotton. The report of the committee contained the following remarks, amongst a vast amount of information :—" Our supplies of cotton are not yet so large and certain as to render further exertions unnecessary. Cheap cotton in abundance is still the great desideratum, and can only be expected as the cultivation is extended and the production enlarged. The past year has afforded confirmation of the opinion expressed by the committee in their last report, viz., that `the Southern States of America, in 'their altered condition, would not furnish cotton so abundantly as before the war,' and that conse quently it is still incumbent upon the association to encourage renewed exertions to extend and improve the cultivation of the staple in other countries. The appeals embodied in an address to cotton growers, which the committee prepared and translated into the diffe rent languages of India and other countries, and which was widely circulated, had a beneficial effect, whilst the high prices that have since prevailed have tended everywhere to sustain the desire and purpose to grow cotton. The committee have recently been much gratified with some beautiful specimens of cotton grown at the Cape of Good Hope, Fiji, and other new sources, which encourage the expectation of further supplies. The committee have also been gratified with the success which has attended the attempt to establish cotton cultivation in the province of Sao Paulo, which promises to be one of the most valuable of our new sources of supply. The last crop was expected to produce 1,000,000 of arrobas of 321bs. each. The Foreign Office has continued to supply valuable information respecting the state and prospects of the crops, by means of reports received from her Majesty's consuls in the various coun tries where cotton is grown. The Secretary of State fox Foreign Affairs has again readily assented to the request of the association to send out a fresh set of queries to be answered by the consular agents, in order that the most reliable information as to our probable supplies of cotton this year may be obtained. The committee, confirmed in their conviction of the vast capabilities of India as a cotton-growing country, by the results already obtained, have given anxious attention to the measures most likely speedily to realise their hopes. Believing that India can yet be made equal to America as a source of cotton supply, the committee earnestly recom mend their successors to spare no efforts to carry on the work of improvement which has now fairly com menced ; and they are confident that any amount of labour that may be expended will eventually meet with a full reward. The committee have observed witl much regret that the Ottoman Empire has not made such progress as a cotton-growing country as there seemed reason to anticipate. The earnestness of the Government does not appear to have been sustained by its officerf throughout the empire. The committee still cherish the hope that Turkey will yet become a highly valuable ,the prolific source of cotton supply. Similar disappointment has also been experienced with respect to Egypt. The crop of late has not been equal to that formerly produced, and the association, by representations to his Highness the Viceroy when in England, by sending out fresh sup plies of Sea Island cotton-seed, and in other ways, hai endeavoured to promote an improvement."
