STAFF OFFICERS IN INDIA.—We are very glad to
find that the door has at length been opened in India to
the, employment of officers in her Majesty's service.
They are now admitted to offices in the survey and other
departments which, until now, have been exclusively
monopolised by the Company's officers.—United Service
Gazette.
THE MANCHESTER POLICE.—The crisis in this force is
past, and on Thursday morning the whole of the police
on strike were re-engaged at 2s. per week advance, and
were re-sworn. Under the new arrangement they have
19s. per week, with a prospect of 20s. when promoted
to merit class constables. Some serious collisions oc-
curred during the strike between the people and the new
police taken on for temporary duty. In one district
the "knobsticks," as they were called, were attacked
with cries of "there are no police now," and were
beaten severely. Mr. Superintendent Beswick,uhnMadberir.
Superintendent Sawley, Inspector M'Donald, and other.
officers rode about during the night with r
their command as a mounted patrol, but tifileen
in
tants were so alarmed in some quarters that they closed
their shutters and doors at a much earlier hour than
usual, notwithstanding
ted
th,ewpitrhomise of protection held
well-meant display of extra energy this pandraaisleewrtonretshsy. andA
great many remonstrances Were received by the Watch
Committee and Captain Willis from mill-owners, on the
danger of keeping open the strike with the police, the
remonstrants perhaps looking
without the reach of protection
a t t
fromthe .danger

of being

people on strike. One of theilo

p rmission was withheld.
THE LATE CASE OF VOLUNTARY STARVATION.—THE
MISSES Q k.,IIAXPLEY AGAIN. These obstinate ladies seem
still determined to end their lives by starvation, despite
the fact that there is money at their disposal, because
they will not submit to receive anything in the shape of
charity.
On Friday, at the meeting of the Marylebono
Guardians Board, Mr. Messer, the relieving overseer,
reported that he had been to the Misses Sharpley's
lodgings in Stingo-lane and that after much difficulty
he succeeded in seeing them through the slightly opened
door of their apartment. He offered them a sovereign,
telling them that it was a portion of 161., which the
board of guardians held, and which was subscribed for
them when they were in the workhouse, after attempting
to destroy themselves by starvation. They both indig-
nantly rejected the produce of charity, and declared they
would receive nothing but in the shape of parochial re-
lief. In reply to the urgent request of the officer that
they would take the money they slammed the door in his
face. Mr. Messer stated that he understood they had
received some money from Windsor, but he expressed
his intention to keep them under close inspection, and
if he found reason for believing they contemplated starv-
ing themselves, he should have them at once removed
by force, if necessary, to the workhouse. The board ap-
proved of the steps which had and which were proposed
to be takes by their relieving officer.
