ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.

The following is 111 r. Layard's motion to be discussed
on Friday, with the amendments to be proposed by Sir
E. B. Lytton and Alr. V. Scully
Mr. Layard—Administrative Reform —That this house
views with deep and increasinc, concern the state of the
nation, and is of opinion that the manner in which merit
and efficiency have been sacrificed in public appointments
to party end family influences, and to a blind adherence to
routine, has given rise to great misfortunes, and threatens
to bring discredit upon the national character, and to in•
volve the country in grave disasters.
"Sir E. B. Lytton—As an amendment to Mr. Layard's
motion on Administrative Reform, to move -That this
house recommends to the earliest attention of her Majesty's
Ministers the necessity of a careful revision of our various
official establishments, with a view to simplify and facili-
tate the transaction of public business, and, by instituting
judicious tests of merit, as well as by removing obstruc-
tions to its fair promotion and legitimate rewards, to se-
cure to the service of the State the largest available pro-
portion of the energy and intelligence for which the people
of this country are distinguished.
" Mr. Vincent Scully—Administrative Reform—That
an humble address he presented to het Majesty, thanking
her Majesty for her most gracious order in Council of the
21st day of May last, by which certain persons were di-
rected to examine into and certify the qualifications of all
young men proposed to be appointed to junior situations
in any department of the civil service • and praying that
her Majesty will be graciously pleased to modify such
order, by directing the ex imination to be an open one, and
held in public, and that the examiners do have regard to
superior qualifications and merit; and praying also that a
similar order, or orders, in Council be issued as to the
military, naval, diplomatic, and consular services, with
the view to secure greater efficiency in all departments of'
the public service."

[Advnavisatinwr.J—A most interesting recovery from a vast
Complication of diseases, without the aid of medicine, by Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food is recorded in the following
letter ;—Care 52
Brid ehouse, Vrirriley, 3d April,
1854.—Grateful for the benefit I g
have derived from Du Barry's
Revalenta Arabica Food) I feel it my duty to express to you
my unfeigned thanks for the invariable kindness I have met
with at your hands. I have suffered these 33 years continually
from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement,
deafness, singing in the ears, constipation, debility, shortness
of breath, and cough, and uring that period taken so much
medicine that I can safely say I have laid out upwards of a
thousand pounds at the chemists and doctors. Indeed I was
in utter despair, and never expected to get over it, when I
was fortilnate enough to become acquainted with your Reva-
lenta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restored me to
a state of health which I long since despaired of attaining.
My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right,
my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all
my acquaintances.—l am, respectfully, JAMES ROBERTS.—
