Another shuffle of the cards—another specimen of
the sincerity of the• Palmerstonian pledge that Adminis-
trative Reform should be proceeded with The right
man is taken out of the right place, and put in the wrong
one—a circular body for a triangular hole ' • while the
man who would have been the right one, where a new
one of some sort, and a very peculiar sort too, was
wanted, is placed nowhere—a proceeding which may be
described by the Irish figure of filling vacancy with
emptiness. One, we believe almost the only one of the
Ministerial appointments durine• the present Whig or
preceding CoalitiOn Cabinets which has given leastdis-
satisfaction, is thatv: of Lord Canning as Pcstiaster-
General. He is just the sort of man for the place, as-
suming that the occupant of that place must be a peer,
RS routine has so long had it so, though we not only
do not admit the necessity, but entirely dissent from
it, and maintain that a peer has no business there, or at
least that it is the business of the public to take care that
another shall not succeed him. Some of our readers may
remember that the noble lord represented the county of
Warwick for a short time in Parliament in 1836-7, in
which latter year he succeeded to the peerage in right of
his mother, upon whom the viscountcy had been confer-
red from respect to the memory of her celebrated hus-
band, who died during his too brief Premiership. He
then gave evidence of very respectable talent, which was
tolerably well sustained during his subsequent discharge
of the duties of Under-Secretary at the Foreign-office,
where he was known much as the present Under-Secre-
tary, Lord Wodehouse, is now known, that is, not known
at all, as far as the public are concerned, but reputed to
be pains-taking, assiduous, and intelligent in his way,
which way was the way of those who had gone before
him—in fact, a kind of double of the present Mr. F. Peel
in all things. During the last few fluttering months of
the Peel ministry, in 1846, he was Chief Commissioner
of Woods and Forests, the office now filled by Sir W
Mulesworth, but whether it was filled with equal ineffi-
ciency or not we cannot say, the noble lord being much
too minor a figure to be noticed at a period like that,
whatever might he his, merits or shortcomings. On the
accession of the Aberdeen Cabinet, his fidelity, or sup-
posed fidelity, though we never heard that it was tested
by any offer in any other quarter, to the Peelite party
was rewarded by the Postmaster-Generalship, and its
2,5001. a year. Here his great merit, and a great one it is
in a man naturally fus-iy, dogmatic and opinionative, as
all the peelites are, was that he really left a practical man
to manage practical matters in the department. He did
net overrid the experience or thwart the suggestions of
Mr. Rowland Hill, at least to any great degree, that ever
we heard of; and in so far he is entitled to coosid erablem edit,
so much so indeed as to rank as about the best, that is the
least mischievous, Postmaster we have ever had. But
with the charming incongruity which characterises so
many of our official transmutations, no sooner has he
become used to the work he is paid for being supposed
to understand, and has acquired the character we have
given, than he is whisked out of the' place, and, of all
things on earth, made a Governor-General of India !
Observe, too, the period so judiciously chosen for this
performance—just at the moment of the inauguration of
an organic alteration in the postal laws, when, if
ever, some knowledge of the working of the existing
machine is necessary, and when, if ever, a novice might
be supposed to shrink with a consciousness of peculiar
unfitness, from attempting what-the successor of Lord
Canning, whoever he may be, will ostensibly have to
undertake. This latter, however, is a trivial considera-
tion as regards the far greater one at stake. If Lord
Canning were likely to make a proper Governor-Gene-
ral of India it is not the fear of his being succeeded by
an indifferent Governor-General of St. Martin's-le-
Grand that should keep him from the East. But it is
absurd to suppose that he is the proper person to be the
recipient of this the highest gift in the power of the
Crown, or rather. of -the Minister, to bestow ; one in-
vqlving responsibilities the most serious, and therefore
demanding capacity commensurate with these responsi-
bilities.

peror Hieu-fung is dead, but no confirmatory ac-
counts have been received of such an event. The
insurgents still hold Nankin, but we do not hear
of their making any advancement towards Pekin.
Canton remains quiet in a political sense, but its
domestic state is frightful, in consequence of the
famine. The Circular of the Canton Chamber of
Commerce dated the 7th inst. remarks :
The scarcity of food reverted to in our last circular
has continued to exercise a very painful and depressing
influence throughout the month ; thousands have
been dying from starvation, and famine, with all its hor-
rors, prevails, to the complete derangement, of course,
of all trade. A large fleet of grain junks despatched for
the relief of this city are detained on the west coast by
pirates. Foreign aid has been solicited to effect their
release, but with what result has not transpired. Im-
portations of foreign rice have been considerable, and
though far inadequate to tho wants of so vast a popula-
tion, have buoyed up hope that relief is at hand, and so
relieved temporarily, the preAure, causiog a. decline of
about 80 cents, from the blithest peipt of the market. It
is to be feared, however, that prides will rule high for
some time, notwithstanding all the grain which foreign- 1
era can import. the neighbqourino. country having suffered
so severely by the troubles ; and, decimated as its vil-
lages have been, much of tlate richest soil is now left with-
out cultivation. Politically there is no change to notice.
The scarcity of food is supposed to have driven the in-
surgents elsewhere, leaving; t heir strongholds an easy prey

reference to provisions, soap, slates, salt, and spirits.
There is also an improvement in some descriptions
of soft goods. While we state, however, that there
is at this moment a great and sudden rise in prices,
and a very brisk trade, we must guard parties at
a distance from fancying that this is to continue
for any length of time. The seasons in Australia
are only two in number—the dry and the wet
season ; the latter extends from October to April.
In consequence. of the commercial disasters re-
corded during the past year there has been a com-
plete prostration of confidence both in Melbourne and
in the interior. The storekeeper,. not being able to
command the usual credit, the supplies hitherto
laid in for the wet season at an early period of the
dry season, while the roads were good, have this
year been forwarded iu comparatively limited
quantities. Stocks on the diggings are, therefore,
unusually small, and every trader is straining his
means to the utmost to lay in his winter stock be-
! fore the rain commences. This accounts for the
brisk trade and the high prices at this moment.
Judging from past experience, it is anticipated that
r when the rains set in cartage will get up to such a
I price as in a great degree to stop traffic with the
interior, andthereafter we may expect a dull season."

KERTCH.-THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.
—(Colnaghili Authentic Series.)—The First Part of the
Second Series of Mr. SIMPSON'S SKETCHES of the SEAT of WAR,
Dedicated by permission to tier Majesty, will be published nest
week.

The following is from the summary of the Bom-
bay Times of May 27 :
India continues peaceful almost throughout. Some
inconsiderable disturbances, and one foul murder in
Burmah, constitute almost the sole exception to this
uninteresting state of things. Captain Madigan, of
her Majesty's 84th Foot, an officer of singularly quiet
and gentle demeanour, having been employed in
erecting posts for the electric telegraph between Do-
nabew and Henzadah, in Pegu, was on the 23d of
April tied to a tree and speared to death, in revenge
for the execution of the son of one of the chiefs, who
had been hung some months ago by order of the
deputy-commissioner. He was obviously mistaken
for a political officer, and, though in possession of
1,400 rupees, which was offered by himself and by
his servant his life were spared, the murderers left
his property untouched, but refused to spare him.
Meanwhile the murderers of Capt. Latter seem all
to have been discovered, and we shall probably now
have facts,brought to light clearing away entirely the
aspersions cast on that officer at the time of his death,
and explaining to us in what manner these atroci-
ties, obviously planned by very different persons
froth those who put them in execution, are brought
to pass. We were in our last able to give no more
than a telegraphic notice of a brilliant affair at Der-
samund on 30th April, where summary chastisement
was inflicted by a single troop of cavalry and a com-
pany of infantry on about 2,000 hill robbers of the
Terar tribe, chiefly Ooruk€aies. The place of the
encounter is about 55 miles west from Kohat, where
Major Coke, with a troop of the 4th Punjaub cavalry,
and a company of the Ist Punjaub infantry, were
stationed. For two days it had been rumoured that
the enemy, to the amount of 3,000, had been col-
lecting in the hills with the view of attacking our
camp, and on the morning of the 30th, just after
breakfast, 2,000 of them were seen within half a
mile of us, marching up and down beating
their
drums, brandishing their swords, and discharging
their matchlocks, with a view of enticing our troops
out to attack them. As the position they held was
a strong one, Major Coke resolved to wait until
:they abandoned it. About eleven a portion of
them began to come still nearer to us, and were
shortly close enough to fire upon our pickets. The
troops of cavalry under Major Jacobs and Captain
Fraser now dashed out upon them, cutting down
eight on the spot, and dispersing the remainder,
who retired on their main body, and there
seemed resolved on a stand. A company
of Coke's infantry now advanced on them,
and speedily sent them scampering over the
hills, subjected to total discomfiture, and leav-
ing fifteen dead behind them ; on our side there
was not a single casualty to deplore. The Hydera-
bad country continues to be rent by internal dissen-
sions, to be brought to a conclusion only when the
dynasty of the Nizam ceases to reign. After hav-
ing despatched the 10th HusSars and 12th Lancers
all idea has been suspended of sending more men
from India to the Crimea this season. The 10th
Dragoons were brought down from.Meerut to Kir-
kee, having been first marched from quarters about
the new year, returned to cantonments on the 19th
Jan., and then started a second time shortly after,
nearly a two months' march, on purpose for embar-
kation, reaching just in time to get six weeks of the
roasting winds of the Deecan and be so close on the
south-west monsoon that it was impossible to em-
bark them at all. In December when the order for
troops from India arrived, the Governor-General
had an army of 280,000 men at his disposal, or
about double that deemed adequate for the
tranquil maintenance of the country a few
years ago, when we had formidable enemies
in the midst of us and on all our borders. Of these
nearly 15,000 were Company's European troops ;
26,800, or nearly '7,000 more than the law allows
for India belonged to the Queen's army. Of these
20,000 could have been spared without the slightest
difficulty or danger, and might by the Ist May have
been before Sebastopol, forming a heavier forcg by
a tenth than the whole British army now attack-
ing it, and consisting wholly of thoroughly sea-
soned men, accustomed to field service, a fourth of
them at least within the last eight years sharers in
the laurels of a dozen of victories. In place of
sending off this magnificent army at once, we de-
spatched some 1,200 cavalry, reserving, we pre-
sume, the remainder of the force for the campaign
of 1856 and future years.

SIR JOHN BOWRIN G'S MISSION TO SIAM.

SirJ. Bowring has su,meeded beyond all expecta-
tion in negotiating a treaty with the Siamese Go-
vernment, which promi: ws to (Ted the resources of.
that rich country to the enterprising European
trader. Sir John. Bow riing reached Siam in her
Majesty's steamer Rattler, . accompanied by her
Majesty's sloop Greciarn. His 'Excellency landed
on the 3d April. The commission to determine
the points of the treaty was signed on the. Bth.
The commissioners held, their first meeting on the
9th, and the treaty w: is formally signed on the
18th. Every endeavour was made by the King to
induce Sir John to sub nit to the humiliating eti-
quette of the Siamese c( >lart, but his Excellency in-
sisted that he had come at the request of his Ma-
jesty, and knew of no o ther formalities- than _those
observed when M. Ohm traont, the French ambas-
sador, was received. Sir John's determination
gained the point, and both his Excellency and his
suite entered the royal yireence with their shoes
and swords, and sat on chairs at the durbar, the
highest Siamese nobles 1 seing all the whilep rostrate
on the ground.

There is a man in England at the present moment
rich in all the attributes that Lord Canning lacks—in all
the attributes essential in a Governor-General of India.
He is a man who has most successfully administered the
affairs of two of the most important British dependencies,
in times not merely of casual excitement but of absolute
and unmistakeable peril, and has succeeded net only in
putting down troubles, but in eliciting from those who
caused them the cordial admission• that he 'had put them
down wisely, and had with-equal wisdom built up peace,
contentment, and prosperity, where there had been anar-
chy, contention, and poverty. He is a man, more-
over, who, in virtue of these very services, was
naturally regarded by all that portion of the
public who bastow attention on Colonial and
Eastern affairs as entitled to the Governorship of India
when Lord Dalhousie should resign ; and it was not
deemed within the reach of probability that any minister
would appoint any other person while this person was
available. We need hardly say that we mean Lord El-
gin, who has lately returned from Canada, whose con-
dition is the best possible evidence of the abilities of the
man who has ruled over that colony for a longer period
than any other governor, and during which period the
province underwent a rapid but progressive change from
the extremes we have described.
Why a man like this is left in idleness, at a time
like the present, instead of being sent to India, we
cannot conceive, and the public will be equally
,puzzled. Politics, even in the ordinary sense of the
term, do not interfere, the Earl of Elgin giving a warm
though independent support to the Palmerston Admi-
nistration, and making infinitely the best speech in its
favour in the Upper House, in answer to Lord Ellen-
borough's damaging attack. But wonderful indeed is it
that a man in every .way so much his inferior as Lord
Canning, should not only be preferred, but actually
taken out of an office for which he is very well suited,
and the filling up of which will, of course, be the occa-
sion of more official dislocation, and mischief, confusion,
and perplexity, and will furnish fresh matter for the
Administrative Reformers in their charges sgainst Lord
Palmerston on the score named by Mr. Dickens and
others at Drury-lane.—Birmingham, Journal.

This morning the clipper-ship Gipsy Bride, Cap-
tain Montgomery, belonging to the Liverpool line

(From the 3ombay Times.) _ _

BOMBAY, MAY 26.

The:Overland Mail of the 25th April arrived on the
22d inst. per Peninsular ai ►d Oriental Company's steamer
Ganges.
Our money market du ring the fortnight has been
easier, and rates of intere at have been reduced one per
cent, at the banks, with the prospect of a further fall
soon. A rise of 2 per c rent. has taken place in 4 per
cent. paper above former quotations.
Our import trade contir rues in the same depressed and
languid state which we ha re for some time past reported.
The season closes even at 1 lower prices than have hitherto
prevailed, which have be on of a most discouraging cha-
racter. The stocks of Bi itish goods in hand are still
so large that the market c an only be improved by a oes-
sation of further supplies from home for-many months
to come,

Grey shirtings have dec lined 2 and 3 annas per piece.
Madapollams continue in alight demand. Bleached and
fancy goods are held in 1: uge supplies and are still ne-
glected., Cotton yarns continue firm, and large trans-
actions have taken place daring the past fortnight. In
Turkey red a few sales . have transpired at very low
prices ; no transactions are reported in orange.
Freights have slightly fl actuated, and a large amount
of tonnage for cotton to Li verpool and London has been
engaged at 31. 12s. 6d.

Mn. H. C. COOPER'S CONCERT.—Mr. Cooper's fourth
and last violin soirée took place the other night at the
New Beethoven Rooms in Queen Anne-street, and was
well attended. The chief instrumental attractions con-
sisted of Mendelssohn's fifth violin quartett in E flat,
Spohr's elegant duet in E minor for violin and viola, and
Beethoven's grand sonata Op. 47, in A minor, dedicated
to Kreutzer, and well-known amongst musical connois-
seurs as the " Kreutzer Sonata." Mr. Cooper's position
as the first English violinist, which we were the first to
pronounce, is now so well established and acknowledged
that it is only necessary to state that he sustained the
principal violin with the most consummate skill, and,
ably seconded by Mr. Charles Salaman as pianist, exe-
cuted the " Kreutzer" in such a way as to place all idea
of rivalry in the distance. In Spohr's charming duet
the tenor was played to such perfection by Mr. Webb,
who left nothing to desire as to deCision, accuracy, and
finish, that it formed quite a feature in the evening's
performance. The programme was interspersed with
some vocal pieces, and a young lady debutante, Miss
Milner, with a pleasing voice and an effective, Intelli-
gent, and impassioned execution, created a favourable
impression, and was extremely well received.

Majesty's ship Rattler from Siam ; but, finding no
chance of her arrival, his Excellency sailed in the
