REPORT OPT THE COMMISSIONERS ON THE PURCHASE OF COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. (Concluded from the Sun of yesterday.) The scheme proposed by Sir C. Trevelyan com prises important changes in the organization of the army, as well as in the system of promotion, and in the pay of officers. Credit is taken for a saving of 42,0001. by the abolition of agency, for which no substitute is provided. The establishment of general officers is reduced from 234 to 193, a change which undoubtedly would be economical, but, which must retard the current of promotion, as will be seen by a reference to the memorandum on this scheme, which is inserted in the Appendix. The charge for non-effective services is stated at a di minished amount, but it seems improbable that, under a system combining voluntary with com pulsory retirement, such a saving could be effected. Since, however, the scheme of Sir C. Trevelyan has been submitted to the Secretary of War, and will be examined - by the officers in that depart ment, we have not deemed it necessary to take further evidence upon the proposed scheme, or its probable cost to the country. The augmentation in the military expenditure of the country is, however, of surbordinate importance in comparison with other considerations which are involved in this change. Putting aside for the present a'l financial difficulties which might interfere with the attempt to abolish the purchase system, and assuming that Parliament had not only provided the sum to which officers desirous of retiring by sale are entitled under the purchase system, but were also prepared to grant an in creased amount for the annual maintenance of the army, if necessary, we have yet to consider whether in this country such a change could be effected with advantage, and by what measures it should be introduced. The evidence annexed to this report proves that any gsneral scheme of promotion by selection would not be favourably received by the officers of the British army. It would be equally offensive to the purchasing and the non-purchasing corps. The commission on army promotion in the year 1854 recommended a limited application of the principle of selection, but they accompanied this recom mendation .with suggest s ioos intended as far as po-sible to defeat this iiiftlibnces of private friend ship and of political preference ; with this view they proposed that, whenever appointments were made out of the regular course of army promotion, the services of the officer selected should be detailed for public information. It is obvious that if selec tion were to be applied to the junior ranks, this security would be very much diminished. In imitation of the French system it may be suggested that special inspectors should be appointed to visit and examine the regiments, and that all promotion should be based upon a careful consideration of their reports. Such a scheme could hardly be applied to the British army. Inspectors could not be sent annually f[orn the Horse Guards to visit regiments dispersed from Canada to Austral:a. A fair and practice' system of examination for the pur pose cf promotion cannot be extemporised by a commission, it must be based upon a long experi ence of military men, and modifie ] by a variety of considerations, in order that due encouragement may be given to all the qualifications and attain men's which cintribute to an officer's efficiency. Before any scheme of promotion by selection is extensively introduced in the British army, there should be a general confidence that the Rawer of selection will not be misused. The military appoint m•- nts made during late years, as wsll in this country as in the Crimea, have not tended to satisfy the army with the mode in which the principle of selection has been applied. It may be suggested that if the purchase system were abolished, promotion up to the rank of captain might be safely left to the rule of seniority. Such a measure would have an inju rious effect on the efficiency of the army, the regi ments would in a, few years be filled with old lieutenants and captains, and there would' be no opportunity of selecting officers for the higher ranks except from amongst those whose age must necessarily impair their efficiency ; under such an i m n i c g e h m t p f l a e il te ih arr b a n n h g g o i m n e g n t t e , the principle of selection His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as General Commanding in Chief, attended by a nu- higher ranks officers merous staff, will leave town this morning for the qualified for active service in the field.

Many reasons induce us to believe that, instead of commencing with the new entries, the principle of selection might with more facility and with more advantage to the public service, be applied t o the highest rank in the regiment.. The honourable post of colonel of a regiment is now given by selection. This po-, sition has no duties attached to it,and reward for past military services. The post of lieut.-colonel, on the contrary, is of the greatest importance for the efficiency of the regiment, and this is attainable by purchase. It is moreover fur this rank especially that sums are paid greatly ex: ceeding the regulation price. In this rank, again, practical evils have resulted from the purchase sys tem, which seem to require and to justify interfer ence. It may be said that the Commander-in-Chief has full power to interfere and to prevent the pur chase of the lieutenant-colonelcy by any' offider whom he may consider unfit for such 'command. Under the present system an interference of this kind is a measure which, it is et ited, would only be resorted to in an extreme case ; it might save a regiment from being placed pnder, an officer who was notoriously unfit, it would not confer the com mand on the officer who might be acknowledged to be best qualified for such promotion. The prohi bition to purchase is an exercise of authority which has not, it is admitted, been sufficiently employed, nor can it be expected that any Commander-in- Chief will readily incur the attaching to a departure from the practice of the service. In this respect, therefore, we think that the good of the service will be best promoted by an alteration ; and we recommend that hereafter the lieut.-col onelcy of a regiment should no longer be purchase able, but should be an appointment made by the selection of the Commander-in-Chief from all the majors in that branch of the service. The principle of selection may be most advantageously,tried in the appointment of the command of a regiment. The Commander-in-Chief has, it is said, the means, through the information collected at headquarters, of knowing the charec'.er for efficiency and intelli gence of every field officer in the army. The re sponsibility of these appointments will rest on the Commander-in-Chief, _and the attention of the whole army will be necessarily fixed on his exer cise of this power. In recommending that the command of a regiment should in future depend upon the selection of the highest military autho rity, we adopt the practice which prevails in many European states as well as in our Indian army. His Royal Highness the Commander in-Chief has ,stated forcibly all the objections to the appointment of lieutenant-colonels by selectioc. At the same time he has admitted, that a power of vetoing the purabese of the lieutenant-eolonelcy might often be exercised by the Commander-in-Chief with great benefit to the army, and without injustice to any individual. His Royal Highness has, also stated, that if the returns from inspecting officers are fairly given, as they ought to be and might be, the re is no officer in the army with whose profession Al 'cha racter the Commander-in-Chief might not be ac quainted. Titus then it appears to be acknow ledged, by the persons most competent from their official positions to form a judgment in this matter, that the ordinary mode in which offi cers now attain by purchase the command of regi ments, ought, r the good of the service, to be in some degree limited or controlled. The Choice lies, therefore, between the power of prohibitino• an offi cer from acquiring this command, or selecting an officer for this command. The power of prohibi tion has, however, unquestionably been always vested in the Commander-in-Chief ; it has been too rarely exercised, and a post, the importance of which cannot be overrated, has I een an 1 may again be held by persons ill-fitted for such command. The inference seems to be obvious that instead of the discretional exercise of prohibition, the" Commander-in-Chief should be authorised to select for this command. To this proposal, it is objec• ed, that the feeling against selection is so strong, that the highest ihisitary authorities will take refuge in seniority, and if they cannot choose the senior major of the regiment, they would select the senior major in the arm of the service. These objections will be found stated at length in the evidence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and in the evidence of Earl Grey. These opinions are entitled to great weight, but after a full consideration we recommend that a change should be made in the mode of appointing to the command of regiments, that for this rank purchase should cease, and that the lieutenant colonel should be named by selection upon the re sponsibility of the Commander-in-Chief. We make no reference to higher ranks, because they are not attainable by purchase, ' and are, therefore, not within the scope of our instructions. We also re commend that the period of holding this command should for the future be limited, and that a time should be fixed—eight or perhaps ten years—as the longest duration of such command. Officers, how ever, who relinquish, the command of a regiment after holding it for the prescribed time, must not suffer any pecuniary loss from the change. The Go vernment must also be prepared to purchase the lieutenant-colonelcy from any officer now holding the command of a srpgiment, whenever any one may be desirous of selling' his commission. Even this limited amount of change in the regulations of the army will be attended with hardship to officers who have paid, according to long-established usage, large sums ror their commis=ion ,, , and who from tkeir position have the prospect of speedtlY obtain ing the command of the regiment, which may have been the long-sought object of their ambition. It may be said, in objection to the above recom mendations, that they leave the wholes ystem of purchase untouched up to the rank of mor. We are, however, thus cautious in introducing the prin- , ciple of selection, from an earnest desi re that its ap- 1 plication should be fairly tested by experience. To abolish the purchase system, and to leave promotion by seniority as the future rule of advancement, would, in our opinion, be a course of proceeding most injurious to the efficiency of the British army. Such, no doubt would be the simplest, and it would on many accounts be the most popular measure • but the information derived from the purchasing, as well as from the non-purchasing corps, proves that such scheme would, during a long interval of peace, render the British army ill qualified for the service which may hereafter be required of it. B e retaining the sytem of purchase up to the rank of field-officer, the outlet for the retirement of majors, captains, and lieutenants will continue as at pre sent. The current of regimental promotion will not, therefore, be retarded, whilst on the other hand a limitation of the period during which the same officer shall Ira the command of a regiment will tend to accelerate promotion. Those officers again who have been raised from the ranks will be still enabled to sell their-commissions, if they should wish to quit-the service. The purchase of the first commission is the least objectionable part of the present system. In this case, the regulation price is never exceeded, and the supply of eligible candidates ready to purchase is more than sufficient for filling the annual vacan cies. The British army according to its present establishment contains about 6,000 officers ; and the new entries requieed to maintain this establish ment can in this country be easily provided for from amongst those who are willing to pay for their comm issions. Moreover, it must be remembered, that purchase is not the only mode of entering the army. During the three years from 1851 to 1853, a period of peace, while 963 young men entered the a rmy by purchase, 266 entered without purchase.. Nor can it be fairly said that the purchase system is the obstacle to introducing' a better system of military education. A stricter examination before granting the first commission, an improved training afterwards, and a further exa mi nation on promo tion from ens; "n to lieutenant, are measures per fectly compatible s eith. the system of purchase. Commissions in the artillery are now-granted under a system of competitive examination. This • system is, it is ' sa id to be modified ; but as the whole subject of military education is now under consideration, and the military institutions of foreign countries have been visited with the view of establishing s ome plan of instruction for British officers, we deem it unnece ssary to advert to infor oints which may be found in ora tion upon these p effected. the evidence we hav e The mode of entry into our army cannot, of co urse, be assimilated to the system of foreign c ountries, where purchase of the first commission is unknown. But we may obserTelthat in making smilar diculties do not appointments to the staffoi concerned ffi with the occur. The staff is in n way p u rchase system. Here therefore, there is every r iSoility for the odoptio of §aoh wprovomeutsia education and military training as may be deemed advisable ; and without imputing any deficiency to, the staff of the army, for such an imputation would be in direct contradiction to the evidence we have received, we may yet suggest that promotion to the staff might be made the means of stimulating mili tary education, rewarding meritorious officers, and obviating some of the hardships which , must arise from the purchase system. It appears that in France, in Austria, in Prussia, and in Sardinia, there are special establi hments for the instruction of staff officers ; entrance to these establishments is, it is said, gained by competition, while admission to the staff of the army is only to be attaiee I by passing through these establishments with credit. A similar system might be adop`el for the British army ; the senior department at Sandhurst might be strengthened and rendered available for the pur pose for which it is said to have been originally intended, and a course of training in this depar . - ment might then be made an indispensable condi tion to the attainment of a staff appointment. The system of study and of training would require careful consideration, with the view of testing and of cultivating those physical and mental qualities which are more essential to an officer than literary or even than high scientific attainments. Regula tions rendering a staff appointment an object of honourable emulation would have a beneficial effect not only on the staff itself, but would promote military education throughout the army. Such regulations might moreover prepare the way f)r an improved system of army promotion hereafter. The limitation of the time during which officers shall hereafter hold situations on the staff, a -measure recommended in a former report, would 'render these appointments additionally serviceable to the interests of the army. All these changes, inasmuch as they introduce the principle of advancement by selection tend towards the abolition ofthe purchase system. When experience has proved that officers appointed to the command of regiments, and to situations on the staff, have been chosen with due regard to their professional acquirements, to their past service,.and to their present fitness, the distrust of the principle of selection will be lessened, and one great obstacle. to the change a system will be removed. , A system of periodical inspection by officers spe cially appointed for the purpose, as is practised in the French army, would probably be found a bene ficial measure, tending to give confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the reports ; and though such inspection could not be applied to regiments abroad, the object might be attained by other means. A board of general officers might be con stituted under the name of Inspectors-General ; some members of this board should retire annually and be replaced by others, so that while an unifor mity of system is maintained, the impartiality re sulting from a change in the inspectors may be secured. This board should personally inspect the troops in Great Britain and Ireland ; they should also require from general officers commanding on foreign stations such arrangements as they might deem essential for acquiring an intimate knowledge of the merits and capabilities of officers serving abroad. Such a system would, it is believed, remedy some defects which would are found in the existing mode of inspecting regiments, and it would g adu ally collect information which would assist the Commander-in-Chief whenever it may become his duty to select an officer for the command of a regi ment. In the preceding pages we have endeavoured to show that if the purchase system be abolished, it will become indispensable, for the purpose of main taining the efficiency of the British army, to adopt a new system of retirement and promotion, namely, to make retirement, after a fixed age or period of service, compulsory, and to give promotions by se lection. It bas been further shown that compul sory retirement will be alone an inadequate substi tute for the sale of commissions ; but we consider that its partialadoption would facilitate the measure we propose for the selection of lieutenan'-colonels, while we do not suggest disturbing the existing system as regards the purchase and sale of commis sions, up to the rank of major inclusive. Until the effect of the change above recommended shall have been tried and its practical results approved, it would be in our opinion injudicious to interfere further with the usual course of regimental promo tion. The recommendations which we bafe ventured to make must necessarily afford some opportunities for the exorcise of selection, and if these °pl orth nities are used with fairness and discrimination the confidence of the army will be conciliated, and pur chase will then no longer be deemed indispensable as a security against favour in the highest quar ters, and as a guarantee against the mischievous in terferences of private friendship, and of political preference. We conclude this report with an ear nest hope that our suggestions may be found con ducive to the welfare of the army during peace, and to its efficiency whenever its services may be again required to maintain the honour of the crown or the interests of the British empire.

DE LACY Evans. CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. Yesterday an extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors of the Crystal Palace was held at the Bridge-house Hotel, for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors presented on the 23d June last, to elect three directors and one auditor, and to consider the report of the committee of in quiry. Mr. PUNCHER, a shareholder, had also given no tice of his intention to submit the following scheme for the consideration of the meeting, viz. : " A scheme for the reduction and eventual ex tinction of the capital of the Crystal Palace Com pany, and to secure to the original shareholders a• return of their subscription at par : By Lottery, viz.- 1,000,000 tickets (one guinea each) £1,050,000 2, 000 prizes (100 shares-5001. stock) 1,000,600 Leaving a surplus of £50,000 tit " an l n e i d un t o d a n r m i n a g x i t m h eu life dividendo original n I.

" Each prize (in addition to 5001. stock) to be entitled to a transferable life admission without re striction, but to be renewed yearly during the life of the original prizeholder, at whose death the pri vilege to cease. " 3. The surplus (50,0001.) to meet the expenses of the scheme, and to form an accumulating fund to pay the charge on the 6 per cent. debenture stock, and 7 per cent. preference stock, and to eventually make the Crystal Palace self-supporting." Mr. FARQUHAR, one of the directors, was called upon to preside, in the absence of Mr. Anderson, the chairman of the board of directors. After the usual formalities bad been gone through, The CHAIRMAN briefly called attention to the dif ferent subjects to be brought before the meeting, observing that the directors proposed to give the Committee of Inquiry the " first innings," and re serve any comments pn the measures of the direc tors for a later period of the meeting. Upon one of the suggestions of the committee, namely, to in crease the number of directors from eight to twelve he might remark that such an alteration could only be made by special resolution. Urging the meeting to observe a business-like demeanour:in the conduct of their proceedings, and bespeaking a fair hearing for every speaker, the chairman concluded by ex . pressing a hope that the result of to-day's company boos would be the deliverance of the company from its present difficulties. Mr. F. B. GARTY, the secretary to the Commit-. tee of Inquiry, read a rejoinder to the reply of Mr. Ferguson to the report of the committee. The rejoinder treats, under distinct heads, of pa9saoes in Mi. Ferguson's reply, the cm vmairutitoees ' c onte n ding, in conclusion, that " Mr. Fer guson has carefully avoided noticing the recommen• dations in their report which they consider would tend to the development of the natural resources of [PRICE 4D. STAMPED 5D .] the Crystal Palace, and make it a dividend pro ducing as well as a national institution." Mr. HORSLEY, a member of the Shareholders' Committee, said the committee, in the discharge of their duties, sat thirty days, of which twenty were taken up in the preparation of the necessaryreturns requisite for the due prosecution of the inqu;ry. Now, he asked the meeting, if they agreed with the general results the committee bad come to, viz., that_ in future the meetings be held twice a-year, in June and December ; that the directors be in creased from eight to twelve, and that 600 guineas be set apart fir their vmunera.tion ; that there should be a daily supervision by one of the direc tors indepenieet of the ordinary weekly mewing ; that instead of converting the shares into stock, only scrip certificates be issued on transfers ; that the accounts should ba issued and circulated before each meeting, with a separate and independent audit ; that the gardens should bo opened on Sun days on such terms as the directors might deem equitable ; that the refreshment department be so al ered as to secure more accommodation for the poorer class of visitors ; that the contract with the lessee of the stables be revised ; that the contracts were one sided, and that in future all contracts be put up to public tender and subject to the approval of the shareholders ; that precautions be taken with regard to season tickets, and that half-guinea season tickets be issued for children, and half-yearly tic kets issued ; that Saturday be a shilling day ; that the grand fountains be played on certain ls. days ; that life tickets be issued on the .surrender of shares ; and that all accounts above 101. should show a debtor and creditor side. The last recom mendation was to issue gratis, or at a cost of .a penny, " A Crystal Palace Programme and Gazette," setting forth the various objects of genoral interest to be seen or heard within the building or in the grounds. - He con cluded by moving that the direction be increased from 8 to 12, with a remuneration of 600 guineas a year. Mr. SLACK had a resolution to move which he thought would supersede the one already proposed, it was to the effect that the report of the committee of shareholders be received by this meeting, and that it be recommended to the serious considera tion of the directors, accompanied by an expression on the part of the meeting, that a system of man agement, in accordance with the report, appeared to be desirable, with the view of making the Crystal Palace more attractive to the great mass of the people, and that the meeting were clearly of opinion that such a result might be obtained by pursuing a popular and judicious course. He was satisfied that such-a change as this resolution sug gested would promote the interest of the public and secure a dividend for the shareholders of the company. Mr. S. SIDNEY said that what they bad to con sider was whether the Palace had been properly managed during the last year. They should bear in mind that twelve months since the Palace was for the first time put under the direction of a general manager, and he maintained that Mr. Fer guson bad not had sufficient time to develop all his plans for improving the condition of the property. He dissented from the report of the committee as displaying personal feeling and a total ignorance of the matter under consideration ' • and his opinion was that instead of the shareholders taking the affairs of the company into their own hands, they should be continued under the management of one individual, Who should be generally responsible for the results. Mr. H. H. CANNON then seconded the resolu tion ; and Thl CHAIRMAN having read it to the meeting, Mr. Alderman Rosu vindicated the conrse adopted bythe directors, and urged that they should be allowed to carry out their views in the best man ner possible, and thus retrieve any errors which may have crept into the mitnagement. Let them place confidence in the directors, and not seek to fetter them by reports and resolutions which were not calculated to promote the interests of the country. The CHAIRMAN BULL he was anxious to take this opportunity of expressing his feelings, and those of the directors, in reference to the general position of their affairs. In the first place they should bear in mind the peculiar novelty of the undertaking, and the various difficulties they had necessarily been obliged to contend with, from the want of previous experience on the part of the directors to enable them to carry out so gigantic a project to a success ful result. He did not obj'ct to the spirit of the re solution under discussion, but he entert tine i certain deliberate opinions which induced him to think that the present directors had endeavoured, whenever an opportunity arose, to adapt the Crystal Palace to the wishes and requirements of the people. In proof of this, be would instance certain events of great national importance which had taken place in the building under the auspices of the directors, viz., the visit of the Emperor of the French, the Peace Fete, and the inauguration of the interesting monu ment by Marochetti, the Opera Concerts, and the Handel Festival. These ceremonies, and the man ner in which they were carried out, were sufficient to show that the directors were desirous of seizing every opportunity that presented itself of making the Crystal Palace the " palace of the people"— that is to say, of inducing the public to visit it on occasions ;involving results of national inte rest and importance. As to the Opera Concerts doubless they would not have taken place had it not b:en for the destruction of Covent Garden Theatre, and it was not likely that they would be repeated in future years. As regarded the various questions of detail which had been introduced into the report, this was hardly a fitting occasion for discussing them ; and in reference to the proposi tions to be brought forward respecting " life ad missions" and the opening of the Crystal Palace and grounds on Sundays, they were essentially matters of opinion which could not properly be settled at a public meeting. The directors bad raised the revenue during the past year to 115,0001. and this circumstance proved that they were en titled to the credit of having done something to promote the success of the nndertaking. Mr. PUNCHER said that it was quite true that the events alluded to had been carried out in a very creditable manner, but at a very considerable ex pense, and it was too much to expect the share holders could allow their loyalty and patriotism entirely to absorb their private and personal ,nterestsi. After a little further discussion the resolutionwas agreed to. Mr. HORSLEY moved and Mr. WILSON seconded a resolution, " that the number of directors be in creased from 8 to 12, and the sum of 600 guineas per annum be awarded to them for their services." The resolution having been carried, Mr. SNOW, moved and Mr. KERRY seconded, " That the number of directors being now increased to 12, one of them shall attend at the Palace.every day ; and therefore the services of a managing director could be dispensed with." Mr. J. H. JAY moved, as an amendment, " That the first resolution embodied the opinions of this meeting, while it left the directors to carry out the objects of the undertaking in the manner which in their judgment seemed best." Mr. SIDNEY seconded the amendment ; and Mr. Alderman ROSE supported it. After a brief discussion the resolution was with drawn, and the amendment was not put. Mr. WILSON moved that in future the share holders be called together twice a year—in the Months of June and December. Mr. REED seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said he had no objection to their meetings taking place twice a year, or as notm often : otnbtihnsk. theit poss i ble to shareholders producem i might ht the e d e a s c i o r o e u n ; tbutse every z d i ns i x the course A desultory conversation took place,_ nialtninobtlyeo rnovGiarissint es i d as an amendment that the r i n ng a co py of the re body, the expense of far i na of which it was urged from the . boa a r very ld be such as would not port to each of them b ii , the ' results, inasmuch as it quence of the shareholders Le compensated for y oduce at a half-yearly meetinu numerous was not possible p then put, and upon a show of family ticket, garbled statement of the Palace and grounds on Sun day de clared t h e result to be in large m h t e i n n i g nily ticket, admitting four or six al movedet ii special 'f ree there t.bha admission t b ein g every v i d negr y t , : t II ahst(honiwaoarteecvh°tenorrlas,denesar anythingfhfsps aeitrairvooomn:oucubduelrilsddired)Atohhihtfuvolea b gtnyvh i s itie.

Russell), that the opening of the Crystal Palaet on Sundays would conduce to the moral and social, development of the people, and the directors should e requested to use every exertion t obtain the requisite alteration of the law, or to accomplish the object through any existing law that c Juld be a found. Captain Young's amendment was then put and negatived. The amendment proposed by Mr. Slack was next put and carried, and the motion of Mr. Russell was withdrawn. It was next moved that every shareholder should have a special free admission (not transferable) on Sunday, afternoon, and that it be left to the direc tors to consider the subject, and, if possible, give effect to it. The motion was carried by a majority. A resolution was then proposed by Mr. READ, a Member of the committee, that adistinct, separate, report by the auditors should accompany each an nual report of the directors. Carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then passed to the com mittee of investigation, and it was agreed that the expenses of the law stationer for copying the report, &c., should be paid by the company. Mr. Ogilvy and Mr. Seymour were then re. elected directors of the company, and Mr. David Price was elected in lieu of Mr. Gill, whose•name was withdrawn by the chairman in obedience to the suggestion of the committee (that his attendance at the board meetings were not such as to warrant his re election). Mr. R. Read, Mr. E. P. Spiller, Mr. C. Horsley, Mr. Caird, M.P., Mr. H. S. Bicknell, Mr. S. L. Sotheby, Capt. E. Walter, and Mr. J. Nasmyth (the inventor of the steam hammer), were then no minated as directors ; and it was resolved that the election shoUld take place at an extraordinary meet. ing in December next. The report of the directors. dated the 23d June, was then received and adopted, and the meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. The meeting lasted six hours. FATAL DUEL AT PARIS. We find the following in the Paris correspondence of the Ind,epenclance Beige : " Every year at.the time of the vacations several duels take place between the pupils of the school of St. Cyr. This year the duels have been more nu merous than ever, nearly 80 having taken place since January last. Oae of them, which occurred at the close of last week, had a lamentable issue, and originated in motives the most frivolous. A. fact, insignificant in itself, connected with this duel, testifies to their frequency. When the actors in it engaged a fiacre at Versailles to take them to the ground, they mentioned a spot little suited for a drama of that kind. The coachman, well versed., in such matters, hearing wh t was being said, ob served, ' Pardon me, Messieurs, but I think you are choosing a bad plat'. I usually drive to Moulins Hill on such occasions.' Thith er accordingly they Went. The combatants and the witnesses were all minors. The principals were M. L-- son of a former pre!ect, and M. do Negrier, son of the Colonel of the 14 th R e g iment of the Line, an officer who greatly distinguished himself the Crimea, who is the friend of Marshals o.4nrobert and Pelissier, and whose promotion to the grade of general of brigade has been announced in the Moniteur. " Tne duel came off, and young mortally wounded, was taken to the hospital of Versailles, where he died the next day. On Sunday last his burial t ook place. Nearly all the pupils of the school were present at the obsequies. The sister of young L— was al:out to leave to he married, and her journey had been delayed a month in order that this unfortunate young man might be present. His mother, summoned by telegraphic dispatch, hastened to Versailles, but was too late to receive his dying sigh. " The pupils of the school show a certain amount of irritation against Negrier—unjustly,. however, for that youth is in despair at the result of the duel, and his military career will be, if not alto gether lost, very much retarded. There is some question of bringing him before a council of war, or sending him to his regiment. You are aware that every pupil received at St. Cyr contracts a voluntary engagement, and is then sent to the school with the grade of non-commissioned officer." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNCTION. The report of the directors of this company states that there has been an increase of receipts arising from passen gers as compared with the corresponding six months of 1856, but there has been a decrease from other sources of revenue. The directors are satisfied that if proper means existed for enabling the vast population of the north and north-eastern districts of London to visit the localities connected with , the Richmond and Windsor branch of the London and South-Western system, the receipts from passenger traffic on the junction line would be greatly augmented. The Hammersmith branch line was opened for the conveyance of coals on the Ist of May lost. Upon the half•year's transactions there is a net balance of 1,4111., which is sufficient to pay a dividend of 4s. per share on the main line shares, and at the same rate for two months on the branch shares. The capital account showed that 81,4141. had been expended on the main line, and 20,7621. on the branch lino to Hammer smith. The revenue account for the half-year showed that 2,6261. had been received and 1,0611. expended, leaving a balance of 1,5651. SOITTEI WALES.

In conclusion he expresses a gene ral opinion to the effect that full justice has been done diflieulties as they arose in the execution of the works, the proprietors both by the engineer-in -chief and by the contractors. Taking the accounts as a whole, be be lieves that if the contractors had adopted a litigious course, instead of confiding in the honourable adjudication of the engineer-in-chief, the company would have been serious losers. As far as he can judge of the cost of other railways in Canada which he has seen, he thinks the Grand Trunk have obtained their lines at a more reasonable price, al though they are of a much superior character.
