On Friday night last Lard Panmure laid on the table of the House of Lords the following letter, addressed to his Lordship by the Earl of Lucan : _ _ . Hanover square, Feb. 7. . My Lord.—Late last evening only I had the opportu nity of readinz the report of the Commission of Inquiry in the East. I consider that I have much cause of com plaint. The Commissioners have allowed themselves to must tell to the Toners n the which ansport anima nt wit another place AUSTRALIA. By the West India Mail steamer which arrived at Southampton on Saturday morning, we have received advices from Melbourne to the 20th of November, being ten days later than the adVices hitherto received directb The Melbourne .Argla, of 20th, Nov. states that the price of gold at Melbourne had declined 6d. per ounce, being quoted at 3/. 14s. 6d. The batiks placed the rate of exchanges with England at par On the 19th Nov. The closing price of flour on 17th Nov. at Gee long was 491. to 50/. per ton for Chilean. Business there was rapidly improving. At Adelaide flour was rising in price on 13tli ov., and is quoted at 551.0 601. From Sydney our advices are to the 14th Little was done in the Douse, says the Argus cor respondent. The steam postal bill having passed through committee, may be considered as already on the statute book. The sum of 20,0001 has been inserted as the contribution of New South Wales towards a general lino for all Australia. But it is iered from what the solicitor-general said that this contribution will only be paid towards a line of steamers via Torres Straits, and that there to be gatl will be no co-operation for one via Singapore and Alelbounb. A true " dog in the manger " principle, if- it be so ! But the government will have to give way, and may do so if they please with a tolerable grace when they learn from the man who has led this movement — Mr. Donaldson==----an admission that the advantag es from this re-opening of the Peninsular and Orien tal Company's line will be as great as any that could accrue from steam postal communication by the northern route. The bestline for all the Australian colonies would, I am satisfied, be that via Panama, and tie shall have it established in time. In the interim it is obviously the interest of all to Make the most of what we can get. ihiS is the general feel ing among commercial diitles here. There Was nothing else worthy of comment in the proceedings. Members are concentrating their energies for the coming elections. MELBOURNE SHIPPING.

COURT OP COMMON PhtlB.—rzn. 16 NORTHERN TIME.--LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1856 that then n of stables, and that nenced their construction at vginning of February, and only of then discos. middle of iced earls, in December, so soon as prevailed upon to remove them from Sebastopol to a permanent camp ; and, ' ting in the middle of March, the 800 airy then consisted, were every one 11th of February ; and, so far from ble hands for this work, oyed in tr oportion of the regiments were em and carriage of sick, as it is alleged, w by nominal returns of men that every disposable man was put to constructing stables, y days in many regiments not one man, I am prepared but that on n in consequer of other duties, was available. I made it the first duty of my Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster- General to report daily , upon the progress made:in this hutting. I constantly visited the different camps myself ; - satisfied, as I fancied, with the energy displayt- some regiments of the Light Brigade, 1 made them report to me daily the work of the day before. I venture to observe that it and. not altogeth( I by was most' creditable to the cavalry that, against every difficulty and obstruction, they succeeded in stabling :all their horses, when in the French army at the same time, whatever may have since happened, not one horse was under cover. Again, these commissioners have not scrupled to charge the Lieutenant-General with deterring officers from proposing to stable their horses in consequence of the manner, as they state, with which I received a proposal from the officer commanding the Scots Greys. Now, my Lord, I have no personal !know ledge of these commissioners, hut I think it not only due to myself, but, perhaps, to others, to show how these gen tlemen have, in my case at least, allowed themselves hastily to !form, and unscrupulously to promulgate, opi nions, if at all founded, most prejudicial to professional character, without giving themselves an opportunity, either by the cross-examining a witness or by a reference to the party accused, of eliciting the truth. Sir John M'Neill is not justified in casting imputations upon me without giving me an opportunity of justification or defence. Had he felt disposed to do me justice, he might have asked for my examination or have referred to me for information; and I cannot withhold that, through his mission to do either, he has inflicted a wrong where, f a public duty, he should have shown a id justice. Now, my lord, to satisfy t I have cause to feel hurt, and for some it, at the risk of extending this letter, the case of Colonel Griffiths as they quent to the storm of the 14th of Nov. Colonel Griffiths, when visiting me, as field officer of the day of the division, to report upon the outposts, spoke to me in a complaining tone of the sufferings of his men and horses dischar I was at that time, and had been many days previous, in daily communication with Lord Raglan per sonally, or the Quartermaster-general, depicting to them the fearful sufferings of the horses, and urging them in every possible manner either to allow the cavalry to be moved to a position less expos-d, or where their form or the materials for hutting would be available. It is difficult ate my anxiety at this time, and your lordship ' — ng could be con anent winter carap ul,n9 the state of the means of defence to exaz ust observe, 0 strutted it was n Lord raglan l- ' 'it I,i‘i disposal to protect the rear of his position. Both Lord Raglan and General Cinrobert felt that they could not spae the cavalry at that time, and detained them accordingly. At the moment that Colonel Griffiths referred to the stabling of his :horses we were only occupying a temporary camp, and it was undecided whether we were to shift t o ano th er posi tion, still on the heights, but a little removed, or were to take up a permanent winter camp in the neigh bourhood of Kadikoi ; and this last was at the end of ten days decided upon. As has been said, Colonel Griffiths referred in a plaintive tone to the state of his horses, and in one of reproach. I, knowing from the past that I felt, to say the least, as much anxiety for the horses of the Greys as Col. Griffiths, ;replied accordingly ; upon which this officer allowed himself a manner and the use of w or d s so disrepectful that I desired him to desist, or evidencewould intended t o say that he was threatene d w i t h arrest for expressing which followed account of his disrespectful him as it is untrue, any anxiety about his horses, and not on he manner . in the conversation has stated that which is as unworthy of stabled. I cannot recollect staff, nor I believe of any this time no horse of my own, of my of the . regimental officers,. were 6 , My lord, in this re excepting ejt a single structure within the s m o i s m s a u r c i h a t a s t u cavalry camp report Griffith's kitchen. inferences are drawn respect- PPlies, nc so far as the cavalry are varia toe tenderwih the state of the i c n o g n c t e h r e n c er, case, that I think it my duty wit ness.

MARTINDALE, This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a gentle man residing in Cumberland, to recover the sum of £2OlO alleged to have been received by the defendant, a cotton broker at Liverpool, under circumstances which would not entitle the plaintiff to retain the money. It appeared from'the evidence of Mr. Lett that iti the month of September, 1855, he was desirous df investing the aura of £2OOO in a purchase or a bond of the West Hartlepool Dock and Railway Oodapany. He accordingly communi cated wish a stockbroker at Liverpool, Mr. Gladdowes, to whom he remitted by a letter of credit, the sum of £2OlO, being £2OOO, the purchase price of the bond, and £lO for the broker's commission. Subsequently, hearing that the bond had not been taken up, he made inqoiries and found that the money forwarded by him to Mr Glad dowes, had found its way into the hands of the defendant, under the following somewhat peculiar circumstances : —lt appeared that the defendant was very intimate with the stockbroker, Mr. Gladdowes, and was acquainted with all his money transactions, and among other mat. ters, he was aware that the letter of credit in question was expected. From the evidence of Mr. Flint, the clerk of Mr. Gladdowes, it appeared that the defendant requested him not to let the money be applied in any way without his knowledge. Upon the morning of its arrival defendant went to Gladdowes and informed him that he had to pay £2,000 for some cotton that day. and that he would be a severe loser if he did not have the money. Mr. Gladdowes hesitated for a con siderable time about such an appropriation of the money, but upon the solemn assurance of the defendant that he would return it in the course of the day, Mr. Gladdowes endorsed the letter of credit, and accompanied by the defendant, went to the bank and received the money, the whole of which he placed in the hands of the defendant, who, however, handed Mr. Gladdowes £lO, saying that was for his commission, and that he (the defendant) only wanted £2,000. In the afternoon of the same day, the defendant sent for Mr: Gladdowes, and said that he wished to settle the money matters which they had be tween them, and placed upon the table the sum of £52 2s. 7d., which lie alleged to be the balance due to Mr. Gladdowes. The latter gentleman was much sur prised and alarmed, and at first refused to take the balance, but subsequently did so, and found it necessary to leave Liverpool for a time. The defendant's counsel admitted the facts as above stated, but contended that there was no privity between the defendant and the plaintiff, and that, at most, it was only a case where an agent had misapplied his prin cipal's money. _ _ . The Lord thief Justice directed the jury to find their verdict for the plaintiff, but reserved leave to the defendant to raise the point of law hereafter, if so advised, upon his bringing the money into coart or giv ing security within a week. Verdict accordingly. LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUE COMPANY —Traffic receipts, week ending 9th February, 1856, £4,639 03. 83. Average number of omnibuses working daily, 260.

On Thursday (St. Valentine's day) the number of letters posted at the several metropolitan and provincial postoffices were as follows: —Pas , ed through the General Post, St. Martin's le Grand, 618,000 ; passed through the District office, St. Martin's le Grand, 279,000; total, 897,000. Such a large number as this has never before passed, even on Valentine's Day, through the post-office in London. Many of the letter carriers had not completed their delive ries until eleven o'clock at night. MURDER AT BATH.—The coroner's inquest in the case of Mr. Speller, the late librarian of the Bath Athenaeim, whose dead body was found with marks of violence thereon, has terminated with a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. The unfortunategen tleman had a large sum of money in his possession on the night of his disappearance, and the evidence adduced before the coroner leaves little doubt but that he was robbed and murdered. WRECK OF THE SHIP PROTEUS, 'WITH Loss OF LIFE. DuDLIN, February 14.—The Proteus, of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Captain Harding, while on her voyage from Liver pool to Jamaica, with a general cargo, struck on the Black water bank on the morning of February 12th, and after beating for four hours, went to pieces ; the master and eleven men got on the roundhouse, and were picked up at 6 n.m. the same day by the fishing boat Sarah, and landed at Kingstown. One man was drowned, and the mate got adrift in boat, and has net since been heard of. STRAHAN, PAUL, AND BATES_ -01 Friday, at the a.—';^ I mart, Messrs. Plews and iVall offered to ph . blic auction the life interest of Strahan and Bates in funded and other property, and a policy of assurance for £l,OOO on the life of Sir John Dean Paul, when a gentleman enquired of the auctioneer whether the policy of assurance would not be forfeited if he was sent oui. of the country, as, by the words of the policy, it was confined to the limits of Europe ; to which an answer was returned that the assignees had reason for believing that the bankrupts would not be sent out of the country ! They would not guarantee this, but they had it from the most reliable sources that such was the intention respecting them ; but purchasers must depend on their own judgment in the matter. The sale then pro ceeded. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' DEFENCE LEAGUE.—The licensed victuallers, although a very numerous body, having hitherto been without any organisation, it Fas been thought desirable to establish a league, to be called the United Kingdom Licensed Victuallers' Defence League. An influential meeting was held on Friday, at the offices of the Metropolitan awl Provisional Licensed Victuallers' Defence Association, 104, Fleet-street, for the purpose of electing a committee and oth er o ffi cers .

They were trying to charter a vessel at Mazatlan, to take provisions. but had not succeeded. THE SOUTH PACIFIC We have dates from Valparaiso to the Ist and froth Callao to the 11th January. We take the following tummarY of dhilean news from the Mercurio : The Republic seems reposing for a moment, at its close, earnest and confident to commence the new year, which is at hand, as prosperously and as peacefully as it has gone through the l is t. During the fortnight the ettra session of congress as bean cbsed. The laws passed have received the Executive sanction, and been pro mulgated. Reviewing the year, it may be said, our roads are improving in every di rec ti• )n . Th e Valparaiso and Santiago railroad is advancing in length; and as to the part already in operation, the company have hitherto succeeded in uniting security and speed to the satisfactioil of the public. The railroad proposed from Santiago to Tales, 200 miles, has 'been preliminarily coin nienced. Mr. Chevalier, the engineer appointed by the directors td the Survey, has already practised the first survey as far f.s Itancagtia, actiompanitd by the, minister of the as we ll as by other engineers. His report is every interior, wa ysatisfactory, as respects the facilities for constructing the work. We hear that orders have been forwarded to Europe on account of the company. The Cachapoal bridge, which the road is to pass, is to be reconstructed aim is to celebrate the nrxt anniversary of the independenoe in September, 1856, with the opening of a Dori of this road.. Agriculture has bad .a year di prosper ity, both as to (Imlay and quantity, and especially in the returns. Commerce has also enjoyed a y ear o f f a i r anima tion combined with safety. Its regul ar course h as b een disturbed by nn crisis. Discounts, instead of rising, as in Europe, have remained at usual rates, und, if anything, have grown more easy rather than more difficult. Mining interests are the only ones that we must give a poor account o f, and that have not made a marked a:lvan& during the year. However, the whole yield has not been much less than of former years, although several mines are not yielding. Of late a conipany for exploration has been formed, and has gone into the mountains under the direction of George Schmidt, to examine some deposits of ore discovered by hid'. Our copper mines become daily more important, and next year will be wrought with redoubled activity. The new custom house valuation of merchandise imported, will take effect on the Ist January next. Valparaiso has been visited with a distressing fire. It occurre4 on Christmas day, about five in the afternoon. It was near the San Francisco church, away from the sea. Water was therefore scarce, and the houses being frame buildings mostly, the fl Imes made rapid Progress. The engines of the city laboured most assiduously. So the Hook and Ladder Company, the captains of ships of war, English, French, and American, sent men on shore promptly and generously, to aid in checking the flames. Ten or twelve edifices, how ever, were destroyed. And a more distressing fact is the loss of five or six lives of foreign seamen or citizens, who exposed themselves bravely to danger, in order to arrest the devouring element. TREATY WITH THE UNITED STATES.—We are happy to be able state that a new, treaty of amity, Commerce , and navigation has been formed by Mr. Sylvesrre Ochrgavia, appointed minister to this government ad hoc, and his Excellency David Starksveather, minister plenipotentiary from the government of the United States: This important the terms of which ar vet unl , presented to the congress of 1856, which Till then it will probably remain out of fl In .1 unE SLOOP. OF-WAR ALARM.—Her Britanic Majesty's corvette Alarm, 26 guns, came in on the 164 h instant, 108 days from England, having touched at Rio and F a lkl an d Hands. She will reievethe Dido, soon to return to Ragland, say by the end of January. • RED GAUNTLET. — the American ship Red Gauntlet came in on the 17th to make repairs.

TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN.--OR the 31st the ratified copy of the new treaty with Great Britain will go forward to England in the mail steamer. MARITIME Naws.—The captain of the British barque Belisama, came in on the 24th from Liverpool, and reports having seen an English barque with only her mize n mas t standing, having lost the other two. This was in l a t. 57 16 Soutb, and long. 7 1 5 3 West. No people cou ld b e seen on board, and a nearer approach to the vessel was impos sible, because of the violence of the wind blowing. SHIPS OF WAR IN THE BAT,—English line of battle ship Monarch, Admiral Bruce, 74 guns; sloop of war Alarm, Capt. Douglass, 26 guns. In business, the transactions of the fortnight ending 31st Dec, produced mere animation than tha previous one. Numerous sales of dry goods for Bolivia bed been effected, and large orders for merchandise for the Argentine republic had been executed. The export trade is at present limited to silver and copper in ores and bars, the high price of wheat and flour pre venting speculation in that branch. The most important arrivals during the fortnight were — Hamburg sch. Stiotfang, French ship Mineria, Hamburg bark Henrietta. American ship Silver Cloud, British barks Wm. Fisher, Urgent, Gardyn o , F renc h s hi p Il e Marie, British bark Belisama, American ship Harriet Erving, Bri tish bark Princess Helene. FRRIGHTS AND CiaAaTans.—For Liverpool : British birk Wreath, copper ore from Tocopilla, 17s 6d. British ship City of Kandy, copper ores from Caldera, 15s. British bark Ursola, silver and copper ores from Caldera, and saltpetre from Iquiqin, ss. FROM PERU: The papers, as usual contain little news. Public feeling against Castillo appears to he gaining ground, and it is thought Echenique will be recalled. FROM ECUADOR we have nothing worth noticing. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon left London on 1 Saturday, by the one o'clock train of the South Eastern Railway, in order to catch the tidal train, and reached , 1 Paris a little before t we l ve o ' c l oc k on S a t ur d ay n i g ht, i ns t ea d 1 of stopping at Boulogne, as some of the papers alleged. His lordship was accompanied by Mr. Villiers Lister, of the Foreign Office. It may be remembered that M. Isidore Geoffrey S tint Hilaire, the naturalist, recently called public attention to the fact that there was no reason why horse flesh should not be consumed as food. M. I/ivocat, professor of ana tomy and physiology in the school at Toulouse, has since made several experiments, and owing to the successful results, many families of Toulouse have given dinners of horse flesh, and others are preparing to do so. Tits BISHOPRIC OP CARLISLE. —The Hon. and Rev. H. Montagu Villiers is nominated for the Bishopric of Carlisle. Mr. Villiers is the fifth nephew of the late Lord Clarendon, in the 43rd year of his age, and brother of the present Lord. By his pr omot i on the rectory of St. George's, Bloomsbury, and a canonry at St. Pant's, become vacant. Mr. Villiers is con s id ere d a very decided member of the Evangelical party in the Church, and will prove, when he reaches the House of Lords„ a powerful opponent of the Bishops of Exeter and Oxford. It ought to be generally known that the appointment took Mr. Villers's family by surprise. Even Lord Clarendon was only told of it after the appointment had been made. Mr. Villiers was not personally known to Lord Palmerston. TILE C3NVICT CORRIGAN.—EIeven of the jury who found Thomas Corrigan guilty at the late session of the Central Criminal Court having signed a memorial to the Queen, praying that his life may be spared on the ground " that there were no apparent motive for such a dreadful crime, which must have been committed under temporary aberration of mind." The execution is fixed for this day. Proceedings have been commenced for the erection of the gallows. The convict, being apprised that the execution would take place on the day named, expressed a desire to see his family, and the children, aged 8,6, 4, and 21 years, were introduced into the condemned cell, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Burton (the latter, it will be recollected, was wounded by Corrigan on the day of the murder). The scene was most affecting and the condemned man was very greatly agitated. The order of Foresters, of which the convict was a member, has provided for his childros. THE HUME MEMORIAL, On Saturday, a very influential meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, members of both branches of the Legisla ture who had sat in the House of Commons with the late Mr. Hume, *as held at Willis's Rooms, St. James'-square. The object of the meeting was to consider the best means that should be adopted to raise a fitting memorial to the memory of Mr. Hume, the veteran reformer of the House The Earl Fortesciie was called to the chair. of Commons Among the tiobleMen and gentlemen present we observed the following :—The Duke of Somerset, the Marquis of Breadalbaue, Earl Fortescue, Lord Panrrnife, Earl Gran ville, Lord Hatherton, General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., Mr. C. P. Villiers, M.P., Sir B. Hall, M.P., Right Hon. Edward Ellice, I'i.l" , Sir David Dundas, Mr. Brotherton, rown, N Thornely, M.P., Col. Sykes, (late chairman of the East India Company), Lord R. Grosve- 'oshua Mr. Ewart, M.P., M [nes Du M.P., Mr. ;', Evvart, M.P., &c. Mr. Wall, secretary to the Working Men's Society established for the same object, and seve ral members of that body, were also present. the ndble Chairman, in opening the proceedings, stated that he should not offer any flanegyrfc upon Hume, but having sat with him from the commencement of his public career in 1812 until he (the noble lord) was removed from that house in 1839, he found that in all mercial freedom, he was great measures thrc [oval, religions, and corn s in the van of the fight. rtht have been th a more zealous anti uncompromising gave them ptionthan Mr Hume, (Hear, hear.) - Lord Panmure moved the first resolution, which vats as follows :—" That the disinterested services of Mr. Itume for above forty years la the House of Commons, his successful efforts to check the waste of public money, his constant support of all measures conducive to the spread of moral and intellectual improvement, and his unvarying advocacy of constitutional liberty, claim a lasting record of the gratitude of his countrymen." It was not as g patty-man that he supported this resolution, but he supported it because Mr. Hume was a public bene factor, unactuated by the hope of any reward which his sovereign or the government could confer upon him. Strongly as he maintained his principles, he never made a personal enethy, and no political opponent ever said a word which could injure his feelings or reflect upon his character. (Hear.) Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P. seconded the motion. The right hon. baronet said he had sat with Mr. Hume in the Rouse of OommOns twenty-five years, and knew that his career had been one of honour. Industry, and integrity. Mr. Wall, the secretary to the Working Mens Associa tion, supported the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. He stated that the working classes were very anxious to erect, not only a monument to the memory of Mr. Hume, but also a school which should bear his name. (Cheers.) Sir Joshua Walmesley wished to offer a few observations before the resolution was put from the chair. The noble earl in the chair appeared to have forgotten one move ment which had taken place immediately after the decease of Mr. flume, and that was a memorial which was signed by 240 members of the House of Commons, praying the government to take up the question, and to propose a national memorial to Mr. Hume. Now, it occurred to him (Sir I. Walmesley), that if the noble lords present, and the members of the House of Commons who had not signed the memorial to which he referred, would take up the question, the result would be far more l'Getive than anything the present meeting could accom- He thought the meeting would agree with him ,hat if the stibject were taken up in a proper spirit, and that members of both houses of parliament would exert themselves in its regard, a public, and not a private, "morial would be the result. _ _ _ The Duke of Somerset bore testimony to the indefatig able exertions; the unflinching energy, and the impertur baNe good temper of Mr. Hume. Of him it might be said, 'as it :had been said of another statesman—" He gained no pension, and, he lost no friend." His Grace contlluded by moving the following t esolution :—" That a subscription be, therefore, opened for , the erection of some public memorial in honour of Mr. Hume." Mr. Thornely, M.P., in seconding the resolution, said that he had enjoyed the great honour of sitting in the House of Commons for upwards of twenty years with the late Mr. Hume, and was, therefore, enabled to bear testi mony to the exemplary conduct of that excellent man. While Mr. Hume was firm in his own opinions, he (Mr. Thornely) never met with a gentleman in his life who was more courteous or more disposed to pay respect to the opinions of others. Mr. Ewart, M.P., begged permission to offer one expla natory observation. Sir Joshua Walmesley had alluded to a paper which had been signed by 250 members of the 'louse of Commons. That paper he (Mr. Ewart) too had signed; and, in common with his hon. friends sitting near him, he had done so under the impression that a senatorial monument within the walls of the House of Commons would be erected to the memory of his lamented friend. (Cheers.) He might, perhaps, be allowed to add that he trusted the day was not far distant when they would see the great hall at Westminster surronnded by the statues of those who had deserved well of their country. ' (Hear.) On the motion of Mr. Ellice, M.P., seconded by Lord Hatherton, it was agreed that the subscription should be limited to sums not exceeding £lO from each subscriber. „,.. The Earl Granville, Lord R. Grosveno r , M.P., .Lord Ebrington, M. P., and other gentlemen, having addressed the meeting, a committee was appointed to carry out its objects. The following amongst other subscriptions were an nounced :—Duke of Bedford, 101 ; Marquis of Breadll) 10/ ; Lord 13roughton, 1 0 1; Lord J. Russell, 10l ; E t arr of Radnor, Radnor, 101; Marquis of Westminster, 101; Lord Hather ton, 101; Mr. R. A. Slaney, 51; Lord Panmure. 101; Bari Portescue, 101; Right Hon. E. Ellice, M.P., 101; M r . H. G. Langston, M.P., 101; Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., 5l; Sir J. Walmsley, M.P., 51; Mr. E Kart, M.P., 101; Duke of Somerset, 101; Mr. Brotherton, M.P., 51; Right Hon. Sir D. Dundas, 51; Mr. Thot nely, M.P., 3/. A vote of thanks to the noble chairman closed the prci- ceedings CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANNUATIONS -~ We are glad to find that the Chancellor of the Exche • quer's measure for the regulation of the civil service has been referred by him to a select committee of the House of Commons. It is a measure that satisfies no party, and, in its present shape, might as well have been omitted alto gether. The measure is a poor one. The debate was not much better. Still there was enough of opinion elicited to show that, if any enactment shall come out of this proposi tion, it will be very different from what is now introduced. Every member who took part in the debate spoke well of the civil servants of the Crown, but few of them seemed dis josed, nevertheless, to do them anything like substantial ustice. No one spoke more strongly in favour of the ag grieved class than Sir G. Lewis and Sir J. Graham. And yet Sir G. Lewis said that, to take off the superannuation charge would be to raise salaries, and Sir Jas. Graham argued that the persistence in deducting this 5 per cent.—in addition to income-tax, and all other rates and taxes—was what ought to be quietly submitted to, because it was no breach of faith to keep it on, inasmuch as every one who took office, knew of its existence. Now, in the first place, we deny that civil servants know generally of this exaction when they are first appointed. The first knowledge some of them get is the deduction from their nominal salary of five per cent. Why should salaries, or any payments, profess to be what they are not? If a man is to have 951. a-year and not 1001. he ought to be told so. But the whole thing is a juggle from beginning to end. It is still possible to hope that the honesty and publicity of a committee of the House of Commons may be able to set it right. We very much fear that the civil servants of the Crown have damaged their own plain case by their dissensions, and by suggesting prospects of application of this superannua tion, instead of uniting to demand its total repeal, and arrogating to themselves the right and the judgment to apply any portion of their incomes to the future provision, as well as to the present sustainment, of their families, in the way that to themselves seem most fit.—Observer. The Bishop of Chester has licensed the Rev. W. H. Hopkins, 8.A., to the incumbency of St. Paul's, Werneth,. near Stockport ; the Rev. C. M. Empson, M.A., to the curacy of Knutsford ; and the Rev. G. Proctor, M.A , to the incumbency of Egton cum Newland, near Ulyerston. Sergeant Brodie, who, until lately, was serge nted ant-saddler of the Ist Royal Dragoons, has been app by by the Secretary-for-War inspecting foreman of Saddlery at Weedon-Beck. On making this appointment, Lord Panmure expresso i himself in the following terms with regard to Sergeant Brodie's services. His lordship said that "he did not consider him as having left the service with any stain upon his character, but, on the contrary, thought that, should his services be available for the public interest, he (Lord Panmure) saw no reason why they should not be accepted." REPRESENTATION OF LEOMINSTER. —T o candidates are in the field for the honour of representing this constituency, the death of Mr. Arkwright having occasioned a vacancy in the representation. The candidates are Mr. Garthorne Hardy, of 35, Eaton-square, London, and Mr. Campbell of Grove House, Hendon—both strangers to the town of Leominster, and a third candid' to is talked of. Mr. Camp bell is a liberal, and Mr. Hardy not very decided in his opinions, judging from his address. The election is fixed for this day, and at present both candidates are determined to go to the poll. GREECE.-It appears that M. Xenos, the Greek Consul at Smyrna, stands charged with having constructed, in the very house of the consulate, a manufactory of base coin, the operations of which are said to have been carried on by M. Xenos and his son ! The two accused await a sentence at Athens. A second scandal, not less outrageouss is a topic of conversation at Athens. A functionary attached to the Greek embassy at Constantinople, entrusted with the di rection of commercial affairs, is accused of having frau dulently authorised the commerce of grain with the Russian ports of the Danube and of the Black Sea under the Greek flag ! This personage is about to be put on his trial. The brigands who bad captured Captain Berteaud have fallen into the hands of the authorities. Five were killed, and the rest (of whom four were wounded) are prisoners. Admiral Bouet Willaumez had arrived in the i Piraeus. The King has decreed the making of a road from ;Athens to Corinth. MEETING OF GAS CONSUMERS AT CHESTER On Thursday evening last, a meeting of consumers of gas from the Roodee Gas Company's Works, convened by circular, was held at the Lecture Hall, Bridge-street, to hear a statement from Mr. E. G. Salisbury, explanatory of the nroposal now before the Council of amalgamating the two Gls Comnanies. A. large and respectable body of con and Mr. John Smith was voted to the sn mere attend Mr. Salisbury related briefly the circumstances under which he bad become connected with the Roodee Gss Works, and the determined effort be had made to secure the goodwill and support of the public, and the capacity of the Malna and the works at this moment to convey and make all the ?as Chester required.

He then entered upon a long and generous defence of the old company, and criticised the conduct of the council in referring the matter to a committee who could not dictate terms nor possessed a right to tell him what he should sell or buy for—showing that the best security the public could have lay in the fact d he gave the old company in excess of the was 10s. taken out of his own pocket, )r his family.

Models of both vessels were produced, as also plans or charts showing the course the ships were sailing at the time of the colli s i on .
