BANKERS' CHEQUES.

The following letter regarding the proposed penny
stamp en bankers' cheques suggests that the objection
founded on the probability of its leading to an absorption
of coin and notes in small pa.yrnen's where cheques are
Low used might be met by rendering the measure appli-
cahle only to cheques for 301. and upward. The proper
minimum, however, would be that to which the penny
receipt stamp is now applicable—namely, 21. At all
evEnts 51. would be a reasonable point. It may be said
that even then evasions would take place by persons
drawing several small cheques when they wanted a larger
sum, but a system of that kind would be discountenanced
by every banking establishment, and would soon be
found impracticable :
" Sir,—A 'London Banker' addressed yon yesterday on
the subject of the proposed penny stamp on bankers'
draughts, and justly thinks that the aggregate amount of
money retained in cash boxes to meet petty disbursements
now made by small cheques will withdraw an important
amount from circulation. The penny stamp will probably
only be considered and evaded in small transactions, and I
therefore suggest that no stamp be :equire.l on draughts
under 5(1. or even 301. value. This would prevent hoard-
ing, always prejudicial to commerce, and not impair the
anticipated revenue.—Your obedient servant,
" T. P. L.

" Liverpool and London Chambers,
Bucklersbury, April2s."

Another suggestion on this subject has been marle, to
the effect that checks might be allowed to be drawn
sithout a stamp, but that a stamp should be required
to be affixed to them before they could be paid. In
this way the expense would always fall upon the re-
ceiver, and, as the stamp, with the rec!iver's name across
it, would carry a legal acknowledgment, the induce-
ment to make payments in coin would be increased, and
banking business would be proportionably stimulated.—

Until nearly 2 o'clock, the titne appointed for the first
race, paying and receiving was the chief business at-
tended to, but until after the town settling on Saturday
next at Tattersall's we shall not, for obvious reasons,
attempt to "report progress." It is, however, beyond
a doubt that on the side of Lord of the Isles the aggre-
gate winnings are immense ; and, per contra, the losses
on the side of St. HubErt are immense.
The heath this afternoon presented a striking contrast
to its thronged and animated appearance on the previous

unimpoitaut, and the weather cloudy and very cold.

" PERA, 214.-1" learn by the Asmodee, which left
the Crimea on the 10th, that the besiegers were still ad-
vancing, and that their podtinn was becoming consoli-
dated. The enemy made a strong sortie in the night of
the 18th, but it was promptly repulsed."

We ha've received the following private telegra-
phic despatches
KqNIGSBERG, 23d.—Bessarabia, the governments
of Kiew and Kerson and Podolia have been placed under
military jurisdiction. The command of the army of the
South is given to General Luders. General Annenkoff
has been recalled, and is to go on an extraordinary mis-
sion into Tauris."

" VIENNA, 24TH.—In consequence of the indefinite
suspensioh of the Conferences, and a very general belief
that they will not. be resumed, speculators have taken
alarm, and securities of all kiwis have fallen. The 5
per Cent. Metallics have declined 1j per cent."
" VIENNA, 24TH, EvENINc —The Austrian Gazette
announces the rupture of the conferences, in conse-
quence of Russia having categorically refused to limit
h..,r naval forces in the Black 'Sea. Lord J. Russell has
left, and a report is current that the military convention
with Austria has been signed."
" VIENNA, 25th.—Yestenlay afternoon Ole members
of the conference met in order to sign the minutes of the
twelve preceding sittings. There was no further con-
ference.'

" Tuani, 24th,—The English steamer Crams, one
of the vessels intended for the conveyance of the Pied-
montese troops to the East, left Genoa this morning
with 37 officers, 250 soldiers, and a quantity of provi-
sions, on board. When at a distance of 11 miles from
Genoa, a fire broke out on board, and the vessel was de-
stroyed. All on boar 1, with the exception of as men,
were saved. The fire is attributed to the engine."
MADRID, 24th.—At the Cortes to-day, the report
on the bin presented by the Government relative to the
creation of Protestant cemeteries was presented and
read. It is favourable to the measure. Some advan-
tages have been granted to the foreign import trade in
Spain, and some of the Consular formalities have been
simplified."
The Emperor and Empress on Tuesday visited
the Palace of the' Exhibition of the Beaux Arts
(paintings, &c.); all the arrangements of which are
nearly completed.
The Moniteur continues to give the text of ad-
dresses presented to the Emperor during his late
visit to England.

" 1.32, fi mth Audley-street, April '23.
" My dear regret that you have been hurt
by an allusion made to my promotion by Mr. Layaid at
Liverpool.
" I frankly own I have felt, and still feel, myself to I“,ve
been more really entitled to promotion without porch ise
than other officers whom circumstances had detained at
home, and whose length of service did not equal mine ;
all my friends, civil and military —Mr. Layard among thou
-- coincided with me in this opinion.
"For my own part, I have always blamed the system of
these promotions, and am not disposed to censure head o$
departments, who, I believe, acted, as far as concerned me,
according to existing regulations.
_ .

" I would remark that I placed my name on the Fir-
chase list when Dawkins and Strong withdrew theirs, my
motive being the impossibility of obtaining my promotion
without purchase while two seniors were above me; hut,
had I imagined that Mackinnon's step would not have been
given me, I should have withdrawn my name from the

" G.?, South Audley-street,
"Sir,—Absence from home until late -last night is my
apology for not replying earlier to your letter of the 24th
instant.

" In a conversation with you on the 23d inst. I informed
you of my sentiments relative to promotion, :Ind I imagined
you left my house satisfied with the explanations then
given viva voce, and afterwards transmitted to you in writ-
ing. The tone of your last letter has therefore somewhat
surprised me.

"['repeat I have found no fault either with you or the
authoritief ; for I mu aware the promotions in question
were giver according to established rule. Nevertheless,
you may, perhaps, admit that I have little cause to he
enlmournt of a system from which, in the course of I.G
year' service, I have never derived any benefit. Do net
misunderstand me here—l merely risk a private, it may he
a selfish opinion, without insinuating a reflection on any
man.

"'I may add, I was not cognisant of any precedent in the
late Lieut.-Colonel Mukinnon's case before instructel
thereof on arrival in England.
" With regard to Mr. Layard, I was absolutely ignorant
of what that gentleman intended to say at Liverpool; from
the Times alone I gleaned an idea of his address. I need
scarcely remind you that Mr. Layard is a public man, form-
ing his own views without being influenced by any one ;
however, I shall take an opportunity of informing him
that I do not accuse yourself or auy of your family of exer-
cising an influence adverse to my interests. •.
" I trust enough has been sdd to convince you how en-
tirely I disclaim the existence of a hostile feeling towards
any person connected with you.—l have the honour to be,
your obedient servant,
"C. TOWNSEND WILSON.
" Lieut.. Colonel Hon. A. Harclinge."

Lieut.-Colonel Lindsay has questioned; in a letter
to you, a statement made by ma in a speech at Liverpool
with regard to recent promotions in the regiment of Cold-
stream Guards. The following are the promotions to which
I referred—made since the war :

Years' service.
C. J. Burdett l9 withontpur. no active service.
J. W. Newdigato l5 ditto .

land) JJJ
Hon. A. Hardinge)
(son of Lord liar- 11 ditto
dingo)
I did nut state in my speech that the officers promoted
without purchase and without service were next above
Lieut.-Col. Wilson. Lieut.:Col. Lindsay has carefully
avoided,any allusion to Lieut.-Cols. Burdett and Newdi-
gate, to whom I did refer. Such coincidences as are fur-
nished by the above list are far too numerous and remark-
able to lead the public to any other conclusionthan that to
which I have COMO, and to whiCh I still adhere, notwith-
s,anding Lieut.-Col. Lindsay's letter, and an assurance
from Lieut.-Col. Wilson that he does not impute blame to
any one in the matter.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

STRICTURE of the UillilTAßA: its Rationa'
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surzeons of England.
•

We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
turd during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
mat' er of sm rrise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipwatA)r with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult In the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this resiect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose, care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Cireu'ar.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June s.—Aali Pacha, has not
yet returned from Vienna.
Mehemet Ali Pacha is still in retirement, as well
as the well-known Mustapha Pacha, of Candia,
the ex-Girraud Vizier. It is surmised that the
former is destined ere long to the functions of Lord
High Admiral, which, if true, however it might
tend to the efficiency, of the department, would
not tend much, I fear, to the'harmony of the situa-
tion.
On the 30th ult., his excellency Mouchtar
the newly-appointed Minister of Finance, addressed
to four of the principal commercial firms of this
city, Messrs. Flori, Tubini and Corpi, Camondo,
and Jacques Al lear, the following circular, of which
I also forward a translation :

" A momentary exigency having arisen, relative to
munitions and various stores to be conveyed to the
interior, and which the Imperial ',Treasury finds it
difficult to provide for at the present moment, the
Sultan's Government has resolved to contract for that
object a loan of 50,000,000 piastres. Hence, sir, you
are requested to co-operate in this transaction, and fa-
vour us with your presence to-morrow, 8' o'clock (31
p.m.), at the Imperial Treasury, where a meeting.Avill
be held to deliberate on the mode of execution.
(Signed) "MOUCHTAR.
