CHANNEL ISLANDS TELEGBAYll.—Yestettey th•
second half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the proprietors
was held at the dews in Great Bell-elle! ; the Hon. Hobert
Grimatos, the chairman of the Cot:l*aq, Presiding. The at-
tendance of shareholder* was not sufficient to oonatitute •
legal Zalethig.probably, as the chairman explained, In eon-
sequence Gf SOO severe weather having to • great extent
stepped the paaalmget communication between the Channel
islands (where the majority of the shares were held) and
England. Under these circumstanoee the only businere that
could be transacted was the declaration of the dividend, and
accordingly he moved that a dividend of 50. per
&hare, free of income-tax, for the half-year ending
Sept. 30, be declared. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Tyrrell, who wets the only other shareholder present, and, of
cower, carried unanimously. The balance-sheet of the com-
pany *hours on the capital account, receipts 30,0001., being
101. per share upon 3,000 shares, of which amount 26,5661.
has been expended. The revenue account for the six menthe
ending 30th Sept. gives the receipte at 7581. 14e. 10d., and
the payments see set down at 6871. 10s. Oil., leaving a net
balance of 711.45. Id., added to which there is 7281. to. 3d.,
the amount received from the government to make up the
gusranteed interest of 6 per cent.
THE MERSEY LIFEBOATS AND THE Loss OF THE
TTROL.—We yesterday published a ',element to the effect
that the Marine Sub-committee at Liverpool had entirely
exonerated the crews of thy Herniae and Liverpool life-
boats; tint from further inquiry and !root the discusaion at
the Mersey Dock Board yesterday, we believe the whole
affair will receive a further investigation. The crew, when
within MO yards of the stranded ship, and with two steam tugs
at hand to render any saaistance they might desire, actually
refused to proceed to the unfortunate ship, or even to place
the boats at the disposal of the crews of the tug-boats, en
that they might proceed to the rescue, Captain Oritilth, of
the steam tug Brother Jonathan, distinctly and emphatically
declares that when he asked the crewed the Liverpool lifeboat
to push forward to the wreck, they declined. He offered to
tow them round to the windward of the Tyrol, end
this they also declined. In this predicament one of the tug-
boats went round the lee of the Burin bank, for the porprissof
getting into the Victoria channel, and the re launch the tog's
boat and proceeding to the wreck. The steamer bad scarcely
reached the spot when the barque end aff on beard disap-
peared. It is the opinion of several teen who were on hoard
the tug Ammer at the time, that had it out been for the
cowardly and craven-hearted modal of the crews of the life-
boats all on board the ill-fated Tyrol would have been saved.
As it is, no a soul survives the disinter.
GEOGLAPHICAL EXAMINATION IN INDlA.—Speak-
ing of •Tecent examination fortheUncovenanted Civil Service,
the Nedrat eltdatestai •sys :—Orie of the questions proposed
for the "first stendard " is as follows Travelling from
Bombay to Calcutta ea the crow dies, what language*
would you hear spoken, and what is the chief object of cultiva-
tion in each district 1" Numbers of natives, as we have since
learnt, dui not understand the meaning of the expression " as
the crow fire," since their personal observation of that bird
had net led them to the conclusion that it winged its way in a
more direct lise than any other member of the feathered race.
On its conventional English meaning being explained to
one of them, after the examination, be put this question,—
which we refer to the examiner fora reply. " How could he
bear any l.ngnsge, if be were up in the air like a crow 1"
The chief object of cultivation in each end district, IN

LONDON. 731D41. NOT.. ll.

Ix this absence of Lord lone Resatti. there is
perhaps no member of the present Cabinet to whom,
on the subject of Reform, people are more inclined
to listen with respect and confidence than Sir
Otoat.r Law te. He is one of the few party politi-
lean* of our t:rne who is seldom. if ever, respected
of talking for effect. Friend. and foes alike moor
ales in him one who not only says what he really
thieks, but also carefully and deliberately thinks
what he ought to say. His very short-cornier
as • debater tend to comfit= this impres-
sios. Full of book knowledge and shrewd
observation. he never seems to be at • loss what to
say, but sometimes for the exact word to express hie
clear and cautious sense of how much and how little'
ought then and there to be said. Without any pro-
testatiou of sincerity, be house on his hearers the
iaprespion that he is is earnest ea far as be gess.
It is not always as far es yen would like; bat yea
feel when he points to the salt road-aide inn that is
in sight, and says—tAat is when I have ordered
dirtier—that Otero you are safe to find something
substantial prepared, and that there is no danger of
your being told with a ii wish when you arrive, pa-
tient though hungry, that through a m iau ndentanding
their are not ready, sr that you must go furthest
with the chance of faring worse. It was this char
teeter for mattereMacteess that won for the Right
boo. baronet the confidence of the City when be was
Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is not the quality
that tits a man best to he a party loader in opposi-
tion; for it can neither create brilliant hopes oat of
unpromising materiels, nor weave glittering webs of
illusioe oat of the unreal. Hot it is a capital virtue in
• constitutional minister, and one that will stand him
in good dead, whet the resources of eloquence and the
are of 'i tains avail but little. When out of office
nobody promised less than the Member for Radnor-
shire boroughs. We took exception ourselves to
the over•chilly circumspection of his tone last
autumn on the subject of electoral progress; and in
the like case we amulet do so again. Bat jest in
proportion as we felt canoe to object then to the
absence of any distinct bidding for popular confi-
dence, we are now reedy to accept frankly the un-
conditional adoption and reiteration by Sir GIOROR
Lewis of the specific pledge regarding Reform of
Parliament, by means of which the Whigs suc-
ceeded in driving their rivals from power, and upon
which the present Administration was founded. To
the same wary calculation of wanes that
prompted extreme reserve as to details in
the opposition leader, we are disposed to at.
tribute the deliberate confirmation by the Hott■
BECRITART of the very precise and definite partL
milers of the measure promised last Session by the
noble Suture/a for FORZION AFFAIRS. On the
eve of the Duielution—a dissolution, be it remem-
bered, upon the question of the Elective Franchise—
Lord JOAN RUSSELL stated explicitly that were he
called upon to frame • measure of Reform, the least he
should think of proposing in the way of change would
be a 6/. rental suffrage in towns, a 101. suffrage in
counties, and • truster of some twenty-five or
thirty seats from nomination to open and free
choice. At the meeting of all shades of Liberals
who agreed to vote no-confidence in Lord Deny,
it wan declared on the part of all the
principal leaders that a perfect agreement
existed between them on the subject of Reform. It
was felt that it would have been an insult after this
to ask what general beets had been agreed on. There
could honourably be but one. This was understood,
and the Tories, because they had refused to extend
the towe franchise, were accordingly evicted from
office. The better bidding of the Whiga was ac-
cepted by the House of Commons, and they are now
in power. Sir GeoaGE Ltuts, when called on to
speak in the BUM of her MAJESTY'S Ministeni at
the LORI) MAYOR'S Dinner, reverts, in a few bat
plain words, to the popular expectation the/created,
and says—" Unite true : we remember it well ; and
" early next Session we shall be ready to redeem our
" pledge.'

Now. without wishing in the least to depreciate the
honourable and gangrene motives of Sir GEOliali
Lew'', we own we think it clear enough that, is
this as in other cuss, the most palpable boas-sty its
the most obvious policy. Lord Dankly and kb
friends have lately come into the appellate court of
public opiaioo, and proposed to re-epen the bid-
thugs. The late Premier declared at Liverpool the
other day that he no loafer considered himself
hound to the principle of uoiforce franchises, es
which his last legielstive proposal was blood; and
be added, with eoiphaeie sufficiently significant, that
after what had occurred he did not mean to stickle
about the maintenance of the 101. occupation serfage
it fawn/. It cannot be forgotten that twelve
months ago Mr. I(rat us' and Mr. WuLroLa advised
their colleagues to come doors at owes to the 81. point 1
sad we behave we are not mistaken in asserting
tut more se, of them were quite
ready to follow that advice. bat finding thews
selves out-voted in the Cabinet they resolved
to stick by the ship as long as she would
fund toge•her. Lord LIMIT tow abandons the
