MELBOURNE.

Our last summary, says the Melbourne Age,
was forwarded by the Salset.te on the lith of
August, and will no doubt be in the hands of our
readers some Weeks before the present summary
by the Bombay is delivered. The punctuality of
the present postal service, under the contract
with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, is
giving general satisfaction, and we no longer
have to utter incessant complaints of delaTs and
stoppages, entailing heavy losses, as well as
causing endless annoyance.
The political history -of the last month is com-
prised entirely- in the record of the general elec-
tions. Under the new electoral system the country
•is divided into forty-nine districts, returning an
aggregate of seventy-eight members to the Re-
formed House of Assembly. The elections for
half of these districts were fixed to come . off in

GRATIFYING ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF

SERVICE

We have much pleasure in giving publicity to
the subjoined complimentary notice of the humane
and spirited service rendered by Captain Simpson,
of the steam-ship Bceotia. The correspondence is
its own best interpreter, and it is no small grati-
fication to see his name added to the already ex-
tensive list of brave and highly deserving officers

I have the honour to enclose copy and trans-
lation of a letter I have received from Signor Carafe,
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, requestinc, that the ap-
probation of the Council of. Admiralty be conveyed to
Captain Simpson, of the steam-ship Beeotia, for his
praiseworthy conduct in towing a Neapolitan vessel in
distress into this harbomi, I must state that it is not
correct that the sum of 90 ducats (about £l5) was, as
mentioned by Monsignor. .Carafa, paid as a recompense to
Captain Simpson, That gentleman declined. to receive
