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 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, 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 irivilege leave taken at any one time shall not exceed three months, and that no accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall be admitted.

Special leave shall not be 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 sh .11 be held to be under the class of leave for which it was changed. XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will 1)9 no restriction as to the places where an officer may reside when on leave. XXVIII. Leave allowance shall J3B payable monthly, if payment is taken in India, and quarterly if payment is taken in England. :CHAPTER V. TEMPORARY RULES. XXIX.

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).

THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the arrangements for the ADMISSION of perbens, not already in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected w th shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practice thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and atunbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows: Marks. Pura mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plain and descriptive), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus ... 2,500 Applied mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ... ••• .. 1 000 Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) ... ... 2,500 Practical marine engineering (for enginner caffdi dates only) 2,500 'French ... 500 Elements of physic and chymistry 750 English grammar and composition ... 750 Geography and History ... 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will recaive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d._per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 28. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the S.thool or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi cal knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in theirsubsequent career. The number of such pupils to . be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 28th September and throe following days.

The report, the abstract of which has already been published, was taken as read. It states that the half-yearly accounts to the 30th June, 1868, show the net revenue for the six months, after de ducting interest on loans and all other preferential charges, to be £156,263 2s. id. ; add the surplus at December, 1867, £10,303 9s. 10d.; balance avail able for dividend, £166,566 lls. 11d. From the above sum the directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, payable on the Ist September, amounting on £7,772,886 Gs. 7d. of paid-up capital to £155,457 14s. 6J., leaving to be carried over to the current half-year £ll,lOB 17s. Si. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that he hoped the accounts and report would be considered satisfactory. They were the only company in the metropolis, he believed, that increased its dividend in the past half-year. The question between capital and revenue met with the greatest consideration, both from the board and the auditors, and they adjusted as fairly as they could the interests of the present and future. (Hear, hear.) The steel rails were now paid oat of re venue. The capital expenditure this year was only £38,000, as compared with £139,000 last year, being a saving of £lOO,OOO. The board would do all they could to keep down the capital account. The works in progress would, he hoped, be finished by next November, except the Aldershot line ; and there was no intention of engaging in any new works. The net revenue for the half year available for dividend wos £166,000, out of which they proposed to distribute £155,000, carrying. over £ll,OOO. This would give a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The net increase of traffic in the half-year was £22,697. The chairman proceeded to explain the different items of the expenditure ac count. He was happy to say that there existed a good feeling between them and the Brighton and the South-Eastern Boards—(hear, hear) —and as a consequence of that he hoped that the Charing cross and Cannon-street stations would be acces sible to passengers arriving at Waterloo from all parts of the company's system. The company was released from the obligation to make the Ilfra combe Railway, and the Parliamentary deposit had been released. With regard to the future he thought their prospects were good.

WINDSOR AUGUST MEETING-THURSDAY, The opening day on the vast range of moors between Sheffield and Manchester, and extending into Derbyshire and Cheshire, was far from being so successful as was anticipated, and, as a rule, very moderate bags indeed were made. There were plenty of sportsmen out from an early hour,•but as the birds generally were very strong on the wing and wild shooting them was far from easy. It may be said that on some of the most extensive moors, such as those of Mr. Stanhope and others, extending for miles from Dunford-bridge, they are so far un touched, and likely to be so, so as to allow for stocking after the devastation of last year. On the grounds of Sir Lionel Pilkington, near Hazlehead, there were several guns shooting, and at the close of the day there was a very poor bag made, seven brace being the highest obtained by any gentleman of the party. Oa the Midhope moors Mr. H. Lonasson was stated to have killed nine brace, Mr. Garsett seven brace. On the Mickledon moors, in a few hours, Mr. Peacock killed over four and a half brace, and Mr. Wright three and a half brace. On the Wes3enden moors, in the neighbourhood of llohnfirth, Mr. Clarke and party had very mode rate sport, and the same has been the case on the Strines, Mosear, Bradfield, and other moors. Yes terday up to noon there were not very many birds killed, and the rain iu some parts rather interfered with the sport. The prospe3ts so far are rot so encouraging as they appeared some time since, and the course adopted by many of the owners of moors To allow them to rest for another season, or to only partially shoot over them, appears to be generally acquiesced in. Grouse were offered at from 73. to 83. a brace yesterday. A. Handicap Plato of 40 sovs, for all ages; winners extra. About 5 furlongs, straight.

Mr Webb's Acton, by Stockwell—Electra, 5 yrs, 7st /alb titittlistitsimiliiiittisinimiiiiimmissittig-Fallle) the Times remarks that the ruling principle of Mr. Stevens's life may have shortened his days, yet it seemed at the last to have brought some compensation with itself ; for the man who spent all his vital power in enforcing the objects he had at heart was apparently able by the sam e agency o f determination to keep death at bay after he had grasped his victim. The spectacle of Mr. Stevens in the Capitol thus became almost painfully impressive His cavernous eyes and hollow cheeks told their tale. Unable to walk to the House of Representatives, he was equally unable to speak for more than a minute or two at a time when taken there. Yet he appeared day after day in his place, and up to the last attempted to direct the course of the debate by a brief sentence, in which he concen trated what he deemed the essence of the qUestion. He spoke in this way on the very eve of adjournment last month ; and he persisted earlier in the session in appearing at the bar of the Senate as one of the impeachers of Mr. Johnson, though he was compelled by sheer debility to abandon the attempt to read the long indict ment he had prepared against the President. his leading principle was that of equality as held by the revolu tionists of 118'9, and it was this principle which led him to the proposal to pay off the nation's creditors in greenbacks, because the salaried officers and furnishers of supplies were paid through the same medium. Ire was by birth a "Green Mountain Boy," and in Ver mont he imbibed such little education as he ever received; but, in truth, he never was, and probably never could have been, a well-educated man. lie was too impatient in expression and too narrow in intelligence to receive lessons of moderation and comprehensiveness. Whatever subject claimed his attention, he spoke out on it without doubt or hesitation, and, as he never weighed his words, .he was continually convicted of inconsistency, Stevens was fanatical, self-willed, and most bitter in his animosities, but there was neither meanness nor deceit in his nature. And it must be remembered of him that he was almost the last of a class of Americans who have left no followers. While everything conspires to efface the individuality of each member of the younger generation, and they resign themselves without resistance to the limits prescribed by party discipline, Mr. Stevens preserved his own opinions and enforced his own will, yielding neither to " caucus" nor to " convention " when they violated the law of his own conscience. The Daily News tells us that the death of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens takes away one of the most prominent figures from the stage of American politics. Although he lAA outlived his leadership of the Republican party, and had forfeited much of the enthusiastic confidence he once inspired, he passes away at a time which gives almost dramatic completeness to his political life. The period of his greatest services has long past, -and all the results of those services have been rendered secure. The principles for which Mr. Stevens contended with an almost fanatical energy and zeal have been fully established in American legislation, and the return of nearly all the revolted States to Congress under conditions which he did so much to shape, renders his work tolerably complete. But Mr. Stevens was not the man for leadership in reconciling times. He was more a revo lutionary leader than a statesman. He had that firm grasp of great principles and that enthusiastic confidence in their application which leaders- of great national move. ments always possess ; but he bad' none of that power to understand and appreciate a policy other than his own, which is so necessary to a statesman. This uncompro mising spirit, supported as it was by an uncon querable will, which for years fought death with one hand and secession with the other, gave him his wonderful power at the time of the war, and was his weakness afterwards. He could not change with circumstances, but played the crusader when the crusade was over, and kept sounding the trumpet of battle after the victory was won. For a year or two past he has been the stormy petrel of politics. His weird look, his wonderful energy in triumphing over manifest phy sical decay, and his excited oratory, made him the most remarkable figure in the House of Representatives. But his influence over legislation was but small, and his sway over the popular mind had departed from him. His work was done when the battle was won and the Congressional policy firmly established, and his departure from the scenes of his triumphs will leave a personal void, but cannot be said to leave any important place unfilled, either in the leadership of his party or in the counsels of the nation. The Standard says of him : No community ever had a more pitiless enemy than the South found in Thaddeus Stevens. Had he lived he might have weakened his own friends by his " greenback " policy—the South he could scarcely have brought lower. General Butler is the nearest approach to him in character, and he will probably par tially occupy Stevens's place. His life extended back to the first of the Presidents—sixteen of them he saw come and go. Whether he left any records of his experiences behind him we know not, but of late years he was unable to write much. He had few friendships, but being tho roughly cynical, he cared nothing fur the enmities which constantly sprang up beneath his feet. Altogether he has left a memorable mark upon the history of his country, and it is for posterity to decide whether the later actions of his life were for good or evil. The Telegraph compares Mr. Stevens with his asso ciates. Charles Sumner was a man of far higher culture, but he lacked the fire of his well-known colleague, and his influence was weakened by constant exhibitions of a feminine irritability and vanity. Butler commanded no personal respect, and was regarded even by his friends as a ruffian and a jobber. Wade was deemed, rightly or wrongly, to be personally greedy of power. But at cynical Stevens none of these charges could be levelled. There was something grand in the very ferocity of his anger. He hated the Southerners as Cato did the Carthaginians, as William 111. hated the French. Their friends were his enemies, their foes his friends. Extreme old age, failing strength, and mortal pain never softened the fury with which he hunted President Johnson down from the hour of his defection. He was neither good, nor wise, nor generous ; but in his time he did signal service, and, with all his faults, we may apply to. him the famous phrase " that was a man." With his death we may fairly expect wiser counsels to prevail in the Republi can party. It is clear, by the selection of Grant as 'the Republican candidate, that the era of extreme men and revolutionary measures has passed away ; and with the failure of the impeachment trial Stevens himself felt that his day had ended. The Post says that Sir William Hutt at Gateshead ana Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer at Tamworth have given us each from his particular point of view a Liberal manifesto of considerable value, as skewing the tendencies of the rank and file of the party which expects to be in the ascen dancy upon the meeting of the next Parliament. Sir William, an old and tried politician, who has been tried in many positions and acquitted himself well in all of them, but who has now made up his- mind " that nothing whatever" shall again tempt him to undertake the " fatigue and irksome responsibilities of office," speaks to us almost as a voice from the political tomb—and with so much the more authority, of course — in the language of warning and friendly admonition, to bid us be wise in time ; while Sir Henry Bulwer, a fresher and more ardent politician, addresses us in the language of hope, generosity, and faith in the future. Differing in their manner of presenting things, and apparently also in their estimates of the relative importance to be attached to each of them, they yet are .found upon the same road, travelling towards the same end, and will, it may be predicted, never be found in different lobbies in the Parliament where it is to be hoped they will soon meet. Sir William Hutt attaches himself more especially to the party aspect of public affairs, and produces with consi derable force the considerations which make in favour of the party with which he is identified. He strongly advo cates the total abolition of the Irish Church Establish. ment. Sir Henry Bulwer agrees with Sir William Hutt upon this main question of policy, and we need not there fore repeat the arguments in its favour ; but he goes more into general politics, and is especially strong upon the status and claims of the people at large, of whom so many have now become electors. He is a rong advocate for the ballot as a necessary defence to the dependent classes now admitted to the franchise, and in a sound speech he has placed in a new and strong light the national advantages he expects from their admission. The Herald draws attention to the change of tone in the Times on the rumoured appointment of Lord Mayo to India, and reminds its contemporary that the One is past for it to exercise any exceptional influence in this matter. A stronger pressure is brought to bear upon it since it dis cussed the subject, the - result, nu doubt, of a party move. India wants a nobleman, and she wants a statesman—one with official experience, and the instincts and habits of dmi iisti-ation: And her Viceroy should be not only a a , of r..r I-, hut one with the conventional attributes of I.s aller ; ho will personally command respect, and be recognised ive .ywhere as the man that he is. She requires a safe man, who has no prejudices in the way of policy, :nil who will be superior to partisan per suasions, which are the first difficulties that her ruler has to encomf.er. hfad Lord Auckland possessed this apparently negative, but in practice very active quality, we should never have . liad the .

It would be well, doubtless, that the ruler should have local experience ; but this is precisely the condition which is most difficult to fulfil, and until the appointment of Sir John Lawrence it has generally been dispensed with alto gether.
