There is the difficulty with men as well as m ioney,l
and if Congress had persisted in its first deois iot; to
retain the 300 dols. commutation clause, the whr
must have ceased for want of men. This, however,
they expunged on hearing of Sherman's defe tat,
and now every man who is draughted ast
serve or find a substitute. Men will the re-
fore be obtained so long as the people submit
to be led like sheep to the slaughter. Bo'
the candidates for the Presidency are pledged lit'
continue the war, and the only rivalry in their plat-
forms is which shall display the less reason and the
more vindictive spirit.
There is indeed a Peace party, but as yet feeble. \
That which is wanted is the moral influence of
Europe in its support. Let the maritim9 Powers
conjointly tender their mediation. If rejected by
the officials, it would give the Peace party the rally-
ing point it needs. We are now at a crisis in this
terrible history. The incompetent man whose elec-
tion and folly opened these floodgates of fratri-
cide has gibed and jested out his term of office. is
another period of lour years to be devoted by a
Christian people to such work as this P We have
abstained from uttering a word of protest, even of
advice. Are our interests in the future of America
so small that we can remain indifferent for ever, or
is the spectacle of 10,000 men sent week by week
to untimely graves one that it becomes us longer to
behold without at., much as an effort to bring it to a
close ?

THE OFFICE OF POSTMASTER-GENERAL.

Mr D. GRIPFITH rose to move the following resolu-
tion :—" That the practice of appointing a peer and privy
councillor exclusively to the offioe of Postmaster -General
is one which is not directed or required by law, and does
not particularly conduce to the convenience of the distri-
bution of Ministerial appointments, or to the efficiency.of
the public service." The question has lately been discussed
in that house as to what should be the proportionate distri-
bution in both houses of the members of the Government
who conducted the business of the several departments. Up
to the year 1522 the business of the Post Office department
was managed by two persons, who were called Postmasters-
General, In hat year the late Lord Normanby brought
forward a motion in that house for the reform of the depart-
ment. At one time the office was held by the Duke of York,
the younger brother cf Charles 11., who appointed a deputy
to discharge the duties of the office. During the reigns of
the Georges various modifications were introduced ; but
the result was that, although there was no warrant to
authorise it, two Postmasters-General were appointed.

An HON. MEMBER hero observed that there were not
40 members present, and after the lapse of the usual in-
terval, the requisite number not being completed, the
Speaker declared the house adjourned at a quarter-past 7
o' cl o ck .

The murder on the North London
Railway,

Yesterday it was discovered that the gold chain worn
by the murdered gentleman was exchanged at a jeweller's
shop in the City for one of a modern pattern, viz., an oval
secret link with a knot pattern twisted key attached. The
man also purchased a plain gold signet ring set with a
white cornelian stone.

The man who effected the exchange was apparently about
30 years of age, of sallow complexion, and about five feet
six or seven inches in height, and apparently a German,
although he spoke English very well.
The directors of tho North London Railway have offered
an additional £lOO reward, making in all £3OO for the cap.
'sure of the murderer.
Up to this hour the murderer is still at large.

THE ARMY.

In consequence of the large number of Royal Engineers
who will be required to embark for India during the ensu-
ing two months, to supply the place of the late East India
Company's Engineers at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay,
volunteering has been opened by order of the Field Marshal
Commanding in Chief, from the companies at head-quar-
ters as well as those serving at the home stations, and the
volunteers selected have arrived at head-quarters, Chatham,
from Aldershot Camp, the Curragh Camp, Shorneliff, Ply-
mouth, Dover, Weymouth, and the Survey districts. Dur-
ing the period which will elapse before the embarkation of
the non-commissioned officers and sappers for India they
will undergo a special course of instruction at Chatham in
military drawing, surveying, topography, and other
branches of military engineering, under the direction of
Col. Scott and Capt. Parsons, the instructors at head-quar-
ters. The non-commissioned officers and men selected for
service in India have been for two years and upwards in the
corps. and the whole of them have completed their field
work instruction at Brompton. The first party of 100
volunteers will leave Chatham for India early in July, and
the other detachments will follow shortly afterwards. In
consequence of the home companies being greatly reduced
in strength by the volunteering a selection is ordered to be
made from the men complete in their fieldwork course at
Chatham, who are to be sent to augment the companies—
viz., tne tar, 7th, lute, tact', 14th, 16th, 17th, 19th, 20th,
23d, and 26th.
The Queen of the North, Mr. Tidmarsh commander, ar-
rived at Spithead yesterday morning from Bombay, having
sailed on the 22d January, calling at the Cape on the 19th
of March. She has brought to England Major Robinson,
41th Regt. (in command), Capt. Hassell, Ist Royals (and
lady) ; Lieut. Brock, let Royals ; Lieut. Davenny, 6th Dra-
goons; 62 time-expired men, 92 invalids, 20 soldiers' wives
and 43 children, from the Royal Horse Artillery, Royal
Artillery, 17th Lancers, Ist Royals, 4th, Ist battalion, 18th,
33d, 56th, 72d, 91st, 95th, 98th, 102 d, 103 d, 108th, and
109th Regiment. The time-expired men were landed yes-
terday afternoon at the flockyard,whence they were removed
to the depots of their respective regiments. The invalids will
be conveyed by Government steamer to the Royal Victoria
Hospital, Netley, this morning. The ship has made a good
voyage home, but much alarm was occasioned shortly after
leaving Bombay by the cholera making its appearance on
Feb. 1, during which month and March 41 deaths occurred,
and it was not until the middle of April that it was consi-
dered as having entirely disappeared. The sufferers and
invalids generally were under the medical treatment of Mr
Woodman, the surgeon attached to the ship, no Govermnent
medical officer having been sent in charge, and great praise
is duo to that gentlemen for his skill and attention at such a
trying time.

BANKRTJPIS.

This bankrupt was described as of Freeman-villas, Sy-
denham, brickmaker, and this was a meeting for last exa-
mination and discharge. The debts are stated at £1,157 ; to
creditors holding security, £1,575; creditors by good debts,
£54 ; doubtful, £241; property, £243 ; ditto in the hands
of creditors, £1,595. _

The bankrupt obtained his order of discharge.
Mr. Lucas, for the bankrupt, asked for an allowance which
had not been granted by the assignees. He said that by a
recent decision of the Lord Chancellor the Court had, uu•
der such circumstances, a discretion to make an allowance.
In this case the property had realised more than it was
stated at, and the bankrupt's failure was attributable to
unavoidable losses after ho had been in business for 20

years.
His Honour granted an allowance of £2O.
IN RE JASON.

This bankrupt was an omnibus proprietor, of Maida-hill,
Paddington, and this was a meeting for last examination
and discharge.
Mr E. Reid opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had
improperly disposed of an omnibus and six horses to his
brother for an alleged debt, and then came to this court to
relieve himself from all his other liabilities. The whole debt
only amounted to £258, and if the property had been fairly
brought forward the creditors might have been paid, or at all
events had a good dividend. He (Mr Reid) submitted that
this was not a case in which the Court ought to intervene,
and that the petition should be dismissed.
Hif Honour said he should adjourn the examination sine
die without protection, until the bankrupt brought in the
property, or its value, to the official assignee,

BANKRUP 1 S.

This bankrupt was described as of Freeman-villas, Sy
denham, brickmaker, and this was a meeting for last exa-
mination and discharge. The debts are stated at £1,157; to
creditors holding security, £1,575; creditors by good debts,
£54 ; doubtful, £241; property, £243 ; ditto in the hands
of creditors, £1,595. _

The bankrupt obtained his order of discharge.
Mr. Lucas, for the bankrupt, asked for an allowance which
had not been granted by the assignees. He said that by a
recent decision of the Lord Chancellor the Court had, ma •
der such circumstances, a discretion to make an allowance.
In this case the property had realised more than it was
stated at, and the bankrupt's failure was attributable to
unavoidable losses after ho had been in business for 20

years.
His Honour granted an allowance of £2O,
IN RE JASON.

This bankrupt was an omnibus proprietor, of Maid a-hill,
Paddington, and this was a meeting for last examination
and discharge.
Mr E. Reid opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had
improperly disposed of an omnibus and six horses to his
brother for an alleged debt, and then came to this court to
relieve himself from all his other liabilities. The whole debt
only amounted to £258, and if the property had been fairly
brought forward the creditors might have been paid, or at all
events had a good dividend. He (Mr Reid) submitted that
this was not a case in which the Court ought to intervene,
and that the petition should be dismissed.
Hif Honour said he should adjourn the examination sine
die without protection, until the bankrupt brought in the
property, or its value, to the official assignee,

AUGUR-SPORTING LIFE.

General Peel, Birch Broom, Ely, Cambuscan, and
Barsgah will defeat all the public horses, and Valiant and
Forager the reputed "flyers" from the dark division. With
Strafford, the stable companion of General Peel, slightly
nibbled at, and even freely supported at the elev3nth hour,
it would still greedy surprise me to find Lord Glasgow
with a superior animal to the Two Thousand winner, and
in coupling
GENERAL PEEL and BIRCH BROOM,

it occurs to me that I may have foretold the winner of the
blue riband of 1864, and, at the same time, lam strongly
inclined to the belief that, if danger spring from an outsider,
the moat likely to carry on the charter of this season's " sen-
sation" scenes are Ely or Forager.

THE ARMY.

In consequence of the large number of Royal Engineers
who will be required to embark for India during the ensu-
ing two months, to supply the place of the late East India
Company's Engineers at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay,
volunteering has been opened by order of the Field Marshal
Commanding in Chief, from the companies at head-quar-
ters as well as those serving at the home stations, and the
volunteers selected have arrived at head-quarters, Chatham,
from Aldershot Camp, the Cutragh Camp, Shorncliff, Ply-
mouth, Dover, Weymouth, and the Survey districts. Dur-
ing the period which will elapse before the embarkation of
the non-commissioned officers and sappers for India they
will undergo a special course of instruction at Chatham in
military drawing, surveying, topography, and other
branches of military engineering, under the direction of
Col. Scott and Capt. Parsons, the instructors at head-guar-

(era. The non-commissioned officers and men selected for
service in India have been for two years and upwards in the
corps. and the while of them have completed their field
work instruction at Brompton. The first party of 100
volunteers will leave Chatham for India early in July, and
the other detachments will follow shortly afterwards. In
consfquenee of the home companies being greatly reduced
in stzength by the volunteering a selection is ordered to be
made from the men complete in their tie!dwork course at
Chatham, who are to be sent to augment the companies--
viz., the let, 7th, 10th, 13th, llth, 16th, 17th, 19th, 20th,
23.1, and 26th.
The Queen of the North, Mr. Tidmarsh commander, ar-
rived at Spit'nead yesterday morning from Bombay, havir
sailed on the 224 January, calling at the Cane on the 19th.
of March. She has brought to England Major Robinson,
filth Rest. (in command), Capt. Hassell, Ist Royals (and
lady) ; Lieut. Brock, Ist Royals ; Lieut. Davenny, 6th Dra-
goons; 62 time-expired nr-n, 92 invalids, 20 soldiers' wives
and 43 children, from the Royal Horse Artillery, Royal
Artillery, 17th Lancers, Ist Royals, 4th, Ist battalion, 18th,
33.1, 56th, 72d, 91st, 95th, 98th, 102 d, 103 d, 108th, and
109th Regiment. The time-expired men were landed yes-
terday afternoon at thodockyard,whence they were removed
to the depots of their respective regiments. The invalids will
be conveyed by Government steamer to the Royal Victoria
Hospital, Netloy, this morning. The ship has made a good
voyage home, but much alarm was occasioned shortly after
leaving Bombay by the cholera making its appearance on
Feb. 1, during which month and March 41 deaths occurred,
and it uas not until the middle of April that it was consi-
dered as having entirely disappeared. The sufferers and
invalids generally were under the medical treatment of Mr
Woodman, the surgeon attached to the ship, no Government
medical officer having been sent in charge, and great praise
is duo to that gentlemen for his skill and attention at such a
trying time.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS--Last Evening.
The SPEAXER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Iristel Port Extension Railways, East Norfolk Railway,
Midland Railway (New Lines, &c.), Oswestry and New-
town, London and North Western, and other railway com-
panies.

NEW WRIT.
On the motion of Mr BILAND, a writ was ordered to issue
for the election of a member to serve for the city of Glouces-
ter, in the room of J. J. Powell, Esq., who had accepted
the Chiltern Hundreds.
APPEARANCE OF LORD PALMERSTON IN THE

'HOUSE.
At half-past 4 o'clock Lord Palmerston entered the house,
on the formal business was immediately suspended in
order to give effect to the feeling of both sides of the
house, which was developed by cheers which lasted for
some minutes. His lordship acknowledged this testi-
mony to his popularity in the most courteous manner, and
appeared to be entirely restored to health.
ENLISTMENT OF SOLDIERS.
In reply to Colonel NORTH,
Mr. CHILDERS said that the subject of the re-enlist •
went of soldiers upon the expiration of their term of ser-
vice, was under the consideration of the proper authorities.
THE SERVICES OF THE GERMAN TROOPS.
Mr WHITESIDE asked the noble lord at the head of
the Government if there had been any communication of
an official character received as to whether the forced levies
for provisions would be continued in Jutland, now that the
Conference was sitting.
Lord PALMERSTON said that it was understood that
those levies would be now discontinued ; but a question
might arise as to whether levies that had been made prior
to the armistice were to be regarded as legal.
SMOOTH BORE GUNS.
Colonel LESLIE asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether it was true that the Royal Sovereign, cupola ship,
was to be armed with smooth-bore guns ; and, if so, what
reason there was, after the decided superiority of rifled
guns had been recognised, that a smooth-bore armament
should have been decided upon.
Lord C. PAGET repeated in substance the statement he
had made on a previous occasion, which was to the effect
that the subject was under consideration, and from its im-
portance it would be inadvisable to come to any hasty con-
clusion in reference to it.
London, England, 1864-05-21

same ignorance, real or affected, was manifested by
the Government when it was mentioned that the
Austrian squadron was supposed to be proceeding to
the Baltic. Really if all that those in high places
can do is to conjecture what is going to be done,
and imagine that other States will accede to
what is right and reasonable, but possess ne
influence to make them do so, or to restrain their
mischievous tendencies, the post of Ministers seems
neither very pleasant nor very profitable, nor con-
ducive to personal fame, nor calculated to enhance
public welfare.

The Whituntide holidays have not been suffered

to pass over without a display of Parliamentary

eloquence in the provinces. The occasion was,
