The Daily News considers there is, at least, much plausi-
bility in the suggestions thtt the offices of CI- tveraor-
General, and Commander in-chief, in India ought to be
vested in the same person, at least until the revolt has
been thoroughly and finally suppressed.

TILE INDIAN MUTINY RELIEF FUND.-11r. Simpson,
the proprie-or of Crtmorn) (indens, having given a
fete in aid of this fond on M )nilav evening last. has
t wide 1 to the Lord M‘y.ir the munificent sum of £3OO as

The Times says —At the cab'net councils held last week,
certain measures were determined up in which are now
made public. The standard of height fir recruits enlisting
fir the line is reduced. A further body of 5,000 men is
held in readiness to embark for Indis, and 10,000 more of
the militia are to be embodied, so that the whole force will
amount to 25000 men
PARLIAMENT AND Tilt INDIAN CRISIS.—The Times thinks
the government may now be safely trusted to manage
matters without the assembly of Parliament, unless the
news from India should prove to be more and more
threatening. Power has already been given to embody the
militia, and if matters continue only reasonably prosperous
no one, it thinks, will want to hear of speeches and debates
before February next
According to some foreign journals, tof) long-tallie I-of

their estates a portion of land sufficient for their mainte-
nance. The only condition annexed is that, for the present

Fox HUNT,NG. —Within about a month from the present
time, fox hunting, not only in this district, but gere-ally
throughout the couotry, will have commenced, and then
the c. whoo ." and the horn will begin to resound through
the hills and dales of most of the champagne grounds of
this oar native land. In but few districts of England can
we find a better district than North Noltinghamshire,waere
this description of sport has t xisted for a certainty for
upwarls of two hundred years. The Osberton hunt still
survives in all its pristine vigour, and the abundance of foxes
this year exceeds by far that of any previous year ou record.
Far some weeks past, cub hunting has been in full opera-
tion. From a well Es3ertained source, we find that in
C .st lc Hill Wood, Grove, Treswell Wood, Gamston Cover,
and Kippax's plintati .n, there is a plentiful supply. At
Osberton there are not fewer than five or six liters. At
Deans Hill Gorse, Mattursey Wood, Gringley
Walkeringham Cover, Piper Wood, and Ros ington Wood,
the same abundance pia vails ; whilst sixteen have been
seen at Hollinghill Gorse, near Whitwell, of which two
have already been run down. In all, upwards of twelve
couples of cubs have already forfeited their lives, and we
hear that Babington Springs, Laneham Cover, Kirke's
Plantation, and Gamston Wood, will afford their full quota
to the supply —Nottingham Journal.
THE CIRCUMLOCUTION OFFICE.—An anecdote is going
the rounds of Waterloo-street and Bonnett's hill, which
shows to what length circumlocu iou principles are c irried
out in some of our Government establishments. One of
the Birmingham official assignees has been for several
weeks in a dangerous state of illness, his rtc wary be'ng
looked upon by his friends as extremely doubtful. A few
da; s ago the managing clerk of this gentleman paid into
the Branch Bank of England certain official monies in
the ordinary course of business, and obtained the usual
acknowledgment of the payment from the bank manager.
He then transmitted the latter document to the accountant
in bat kruptcy, accompacied by a note signed by himself
as the representative of his disabled employer. The great
min of Bisinghall-street, whose offic-o, costing about
£7,000 a-year, is looked upon by our Chamber of Commerce
as no hing b t a wasteful job, returned both letter and
enclontre, with an ir timation that he could rec3gnise no
commuuication as official unless signed by the assignee
personally. As, of course, the banker's certificate enclosed
in the letter was the only part of the remittance of any
real value or importance, this transaction may be looked
upon as the height of ceremonious and punctilious absurdity.
If no one was employed in tha public service without
having sufficient real business to occupy his time, we
should meet soi h less of this man-mildnerism in official
circles.—Birmingham Daily Tres
