Percentages to Servants.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sin,—We have the permission of his Grace the
Duke of Sutherland to send you the enclosed letter.
We think the publication of it would tend mate-
rially to lessen the evil complained of.

We are, sir, your most obedient servants,
London, Feb. 11. A WEST-END FIRM

"Stafford-house, Jan. 26

" Sir,—lt has come to my knowledge that the custom of
giving percentages on the amount of tradesmen's bills, or
other equivalent perquisites, very generally prevails. •

"I wish, therefore, to direct your attention specially to
the subject, with a view to its discontinuance, so far at
least as my establishment is concerned.
" This practice is alike unfair to the master and to the
servant—unfair to the master, because to enable the trades-
man to pay this tax he must add the amount to the price
charged for his goods, and unfair to the servant inasmuch
as it places a temptation constantly in his way.
" Viewed in this light it can only be looked upon as a
custom which every right-minded tradesman will willingly
aid in abolishing, and, therefore, I have resolved to dismiss
from my service any servant who may in future be detected
receiving per centages, or an equivalent. Nor will I after-
wards obtain goods from the tradesman who gives them.
" I am, your obedient servant,
" SUTHERLAND."

SEEDS.

The demand for cloverseed has fallen off, but the quota-
tions remain unaltered. For most other agricultural seeds
the trade was inactive. The transactions in linseed have
been on a moderate scale, at full prices. Rape and oilseeds
are dull, and the quotations have a drooping tendency
More business has been done in cakes, and prices rule

We have to report continued depression in the trade for
English wool, and, both as regards long and Down quali-
ties, the tendency of prices is strongly in favour of buyers.
For colonial wool, however, in the private contract mar-
ket, there is a moderate demand, and very little change has
taken place in prices from Monday last. The import into
London last week consisted of 1,800 bales from Cape Town,
445 Port Philip, 53 Swan River, 200 Mossel Bay, 200 Ma-
dras, and 572 bales from Taganrog.

LYNN AND HUNSTANTON.

The report of the directors states that the line was opened
in Oct., 1862, and the receipts for the year 1863 amounted to
£7,262, and for the year 1864 to £8,908, showing an in-
crease of 0£1,646. The directors, out of a balance of £2,114,
recommended a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum upon the share capital for the half yeat ending the
31st of December last, leaving a balance to be carried over.
The declaration of a dividend of 6 per cent. upon a line
opened little more than two years was an unusual event.
The line was 15 miles in length, froth Lynn to Hunstan-
ton, and was constructed for £BO,OOO, including every-
thing ; being at the rate of £5,333 per mile. The line tra-
versed a purely agricultural and sparsely-populated dis-
trict. Skirting the sea, it was fed only from one side, and
the terminus was a sea-bathing village. The success of the
line was attributable mainly to economy of construction
and the co-operative spirit in which it was undertaken and
carried out. A great portion of the land was obtained at
agricultural prices, paid in shares ; the East Anglian
Company subscribed one-third of the share capital, and
in the several departments of contractor, solicitor, and
engineer payments to a large proportion were made in
shares. It thus became the object of the several interests
to maintain at once the value of the line by a judicious ex-
penditure, and the value of the shares by sound economy.
The West Norfolk line was being constructed on the same
principles, and promised similar success. The line was
worked by the Great Eastern Company.
London, England, 1865-02-13

HULL AND HORNSEA.

The directors' report states that the expenditure on works
had been larger than was anticipated, but that after further
accommodation was added it would be still a very cheap
line, and .that the traffic of the district was sufficient to
insure an ample return on the expenditure. In order to in-
duce farmers and others to use the line the rates have been
lowered to the minimum, and it was hoped that the carriage
of grain, gravel, and lime would soon provide ample re-
venue. The passenger traffic had been almost exclusively
from and to Hull, as Hornsea, was as yet little known as a
watering place in the interior of the country. The net
earnings had been equal to 2 per cent. dividend, but as
more capital was required to complete works this would
not at present be declared. The Board recommended the
raising of new capital by ordinary shares. In order to
avoid the expense of Parliamentary proceedings, the Board
would avail themselves of the Railway Companies' Powers
Act, 1864, by which, through an application to the Board
of Trade, power to issue additional capital could be ob-
tained. The engineer reported that the permanent way
was in good order.

AFFAIRS OF BHOOTAN.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether ho would lay papers on the table 40,47.i_n gthe
present state of affairs in Bhootan, especially with reference
to the recent acquisition of territory in that country ?
Sir C. WOOD was understood to say that these papers
were in preparation, and would ba submitted to the house.
GRAND JURIES (IRELAND).
Mr. HASSARD asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if
it was his intention to introduce any bill for the alteration
of the laws relating to grand juries in Ireland ; and, if it
was his intention so to do, would he lay such bil
upon the table of the house in sufficient time to be sub-
mitted to the several grand juries about to assemble in
Ireland ?
Sir R. PEEL said that there had been no recommenda-
tions in favour of a bill of such magnitude as that in ques-
tion, and therefore it was not intended to introduce any
such measure.

THE CYCLONE IN INDIA, &c.
Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Secretary of State for
India if anything had been determined on towards re-
placing the defective moorings that were carried away
bodily during the cyclone of October last in the Calcutta
river, and whether some more efficient plan or appliance
ought not now to be tried in order to prevent, as far as
possible, the recurrence of similar shipping disasters?
Sir C. WOOD said that the attention of the Indian Govern-
ment had been called to this subject, and a committee of
naval and other officers had been appointed to consider
and report on the circumstances connected with the
matter in question.

BERWICK-ON-TWEED.

Mr. A. Mitchell, of Stow, has issued an address
soliciting the suffrages of the electors. He is for the

ment of the question, but he does not commit him-
self to the approval of all acts of the Government.

their canvass, and they all express themselves per-

Mr. Marsh is generally considered to be pretty safe,

election cannot but prejudicially affect his interests.
He is about to sail for Australia.

STAFFORDSHIRE (NORTH'

At an influential meeting of the Liberal party at
Stoke-on-Trent, on Tuesday, Mr. Buller, of D ilhorn-
hall, was adopted as a candidate for the representa-
tion of North Staffordshire in the Liberal interest,
and it is considered that his prospects are very good.
Mr. Buller represented the northern division of
Staffordshire in the first three Parliaments after
the Reform Bill, and subsequently sat for Staf-
ford for several years, but has been since defeated
twice by the Conservative candidates in attempting
to regain his seat for North Staffordshire. He
will be opposed at the general election by the

Right Hon. C. B. Adderley and Viscount Inges-
tre, the present members for the division, both
Conservatives. In his address to the electors Mr.
Buller avows himself a supporter of the general policy
of Lord Pahnerston, from which the country has
derived great advantage, and an advocate of Par-
liamentary Reform, a subject which can be success-
fully dealt with only "by a Government acting
under the responsibility of office."

THE SEE OF BRISTOL.

Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, whether the Government had re-
ceived any communications from the city of Bristol, or
whether their attention had been directed to any commu-
nications made by the city of Bristol to the Ecclesiastical
Coommissioners respecting the claim made for the restora-
tion of an episcopal residence at Bristol ; whether he was
aware of the circumstances under which the union between
the sees of Bristol and Gloucester was effected ; and whe-
ther there was any objection to produce the correspondence
which had taken place on the subject.

Sir G. GREY said he had not seen the communications
referred to. There had been a great deal of correspondence
on the matter, to the production of which there would not
be the slightest objection.

LEICESTERSHIRE.

Lord John Manners thus addresses the electors of
North Leicestershire :
"As the size of the division and the number of its elec-
tors are such as to preclude a personal canvass on my part,
I take this mode of informing you of my intention at the
coming election to solicit again the honour of representing
the Northern Division of Leicestershire. In my speeches
and votes during the last six years you will find a sufficient
indication of the policy I shall, if elected, advocate and
follow in the new Parliament—a policy the main features
of which are the maintenance of the ancient relations be-
tween Church and State, now openly assailed, abstinence
from unnecessary interference in the affairs of other coun-
tries, civilised or uncivilised, the due, but not the extrava-
gant support of our national defences, and financial justice
to the cultivation of the soil."

Mr. Hartepp, the other sitting member, thus ad-
dresses the electors :

" The experience I have gained in the years during
which I have occupied my present honourable position has
increased my attachment to those Conservative principles
which, if adopted by the Government of this country,
would, in my opinion, afford a surer prospect of real liberty
and safe reforms than could be secured by those ill-consi-
dered schemes which have found so little favour either from
the House of Commons or the country at large."

LEICESTER.

On Tuesday the friends of Mr. Taylor, the sitting
member, and the proposed new Liberal candidate,
Mr. Harris, held a large meeting, at which it was
resoved that those gentlemen should receive the sup-
port of the united Liberals during the coming elec-
tion. Mr. Taylor has issued an address, in which he
says—

" The longer I live the deeper becomes my conviction
that in the radical reform of proved abuses lies the only
true Conservative policy—of that Conservatism which
cares for principles rather than for forms; and I believe
that by timely concession only can privilege hope to avoid
the danger of hasty, if not revolutionary, change."

In the address issued by Mr. Hey-gate, the present
Conservative member, he says " he has never been
opposed to any rational scheme of Parliamentary
reform," and regrets that a revision of the electoral
system•has been so long delayed ; but he cannot sup-
port such a change as would be involved in a £6
borough franchise. The constituency of the borough
has increased from 4,207 voters in 1859 to 5,328 in
1864. Mr. Heygate " regards with satisfaction this
rapid though silent enfranchisement."

THE LOSS OF THE BOMBAY.

Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the Secretary to the Admi-
ralty if there was any special report made to the Lords of
the Admiralty, by the Admiral of the station, as to the loss
of 92 sailors and marines from the burning of her Ma-
jesty's
ship Bombay, off Monte Video, on the 11th of last ,
December ; if he could state the number of marines
and sailors who were drowned, separately, and the
length of time that elapsed from the breaking out of the
fire to the sinking of the ship ; if there were any patent life '
bolts on board ; and if there was any order, rule, or system
in the navy, or the marine corps, under which the recruits
or mon were taught to swim ; and if tho boys in the ser-
vice were instructed in the art of swimming.
Lord C. PAGET said there were unfortunately 91 per-
sons lost in the Bombay. All the boys in the Admiralty
training ships were taught to swim, but the Admiralty
did not supply life belts to her Majesty's ships. Cork beds
were some time ago partially supplied, but the crews ob-
jected to them. There were, of course, life buoys on board.
An experiment was now being made in the Channel fleet
of certain life belts, and if they were deemed successful, a
number of them would be supplied to her Majesty's navy.
The crew of the ship amounted to 641 in all. The origin
of the fire had never been satisfactorily explained.

BATH.

The canvass of the committee of the Liberal As-
sociation on behalf of Col. Pinney has proceeded in
a manner favourable beyond their anticipation.
Their efforts, however, havebeen thwarted by a com-
munication made by Col. Pinney, on Tuesday, to
the effect that he declined to stand unless 1,200 sig-
natures were obtained in his favour. This was felt
to be impracticable, as a large number who promised
declined to bind themselves by signing. The result
is that Col. Pinney, who from the first has felt un-
willing to enter into the contest unless his election
could be almost guaranteed, has retired. The return
of Mr. Tite, the present Liberal member, is consi-
dered certain.

DEVONPORT.

The election for this borough was held yesterday.
Mr. Brassey, the successful candidate, having secured
a majority of 56. The following is the close of the
•
poll :
Brassey 1,264 _

Fleming ... ... ... ... ... 1,208
Majority for Mr. Brassey ... -56

At 5 o'clock Mr. Smith, the Mayor, declared that
the election had fallen on Mr. Brassey, who stated
that he considered himself the representative of both
parties. Good temper has prevailed throughout the
contest.

Mr.FLEmiNG said, though discomfited, he was not
dismayed. It was an unfortunate contest for all
concerned, as it must be fought over again in three
or four weeks, when he should be at the disposal of
the electors.

A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, with
three hearty cheers for the Queen, and the large
assemblage separated quietly.
More voters polled than ever before-2,472. At
the last contest, in February, 1863, 2,250 polled—
viz., for Ferrand, 1,140 ; Grey, 1,110.

STOCKPORT.

Mr. William Tipping, of Banstead-park, Kent,
who describes himself as a Liberal-Conservative,
has issued an address to the electors of Stockport.

SUFFOLK (WEST.

Major Windsor Parker and Lord Augustus Her-
vey, the Conservative sitting members, have issued
addresses, in which they offer themselves for re-elec-
tion. Major Parker observes, as regards the malt
tax, that although the efforts made during the pre-
sent session for its repeal proved unsuccessful, he is
confident, whatever party maybe in power, that this
measure of justice to the farmer and the labourers
cannot long be withheld. Lord Augustus Hervey
also trusts that the new Parliament will be enabled
to deal with the malt duty in a satisfactory manner,
as he is convinced there is still further room for re-
trenchment in our nationarexpenditure. Lord Au-
gustus advocates the " principles of safe and en-
lightened Conservatism"—an adhesion to all that is
sound and venerable in our Constitution, but, at the
same time, the adoption of such measures as, being
in accordance with its spirit, shall promote the pros-
perity of the people.

SALISBURY.
The three candidates for this city—Mr. M. H.
Marsh and Mr. E. Hamilton, Liberals, and Mr. J.
Chapman, Liberal Conservative—have now finished
their canvass, and they all express themselves per-
fectly satisfied with the promises they have received.
Mr. Marsh is generally considered to be pretty safe,
although it is felt that his absence at the time of the
election cannot but prejudicially affect his interests.
He is about to sail for Australia.

STAFFORD.
Lord Sandon has been-invited to become a candi
date, but has declined the proposal.

STAFFORDSHIRE (NORTH).

At an influential meeting of the Liberal party at
Stoke-on-Trent, on Tuesday, Mr. Buller, of Dilhorn-
hall, was adopted as a candidate for the representa-
tion of North Staffordshire in the Liberal interest,
and it is considered that his prospects are very good.
Mr. Buller represented the northern division of
Staffordshire in the first three Parliaments after
the Reform Bill, and subsequently sat for Staf-
ford for lie-vend years, bat has been since defeated
twice by the Conservative candidates in attempting
to regain hi 3 seat for North Staffordshire. iie

This bill was read a third time and passed.
BAGENALSTOWN AND WEXFORD RAILWAY
BILL.

Colonel FRENCH moved that standing orders 208 and
232 be suspended in the case of the said bill, in order that
the bill might be read a third time.
Mr. DODSON had no objection to the motion, which
was agreed to.

On the question being put for the passing of the bill,
Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved the insertion of the follow-
ing words in the 2d clause :—" Protided that the purchaser
or purchasers shall maintain and keep open the railway, so
that the same may be used for public traffic."
Capt. STACKPOLE said the object of inserting the
words was to prevent either the Great Southern and Wes-
tern Railway or the Dublin, Wexford, and Waterford Rail-
way from purchasing the line and closing it altogether
against the public, in order to benefit one or other of these
railways.
Ultimately the amendment was altered to the effect that
the purchasers should be under the same obligations as the
Bagenalstown Railway Company were at present.
The motion of the hon. and learned member (Sir C.
O'Loghlen) was then agreed to, and the bill was read a
third time.

The Consolidation (Appropriation) Bill passed through

Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the Secretary of State for

whether their attention had been directed to any commu-

Coommissioners respecting the claim made for the restora-
tion of an episcopal residence at Bristol ; whether he was
aware of the circumstances under which the union between
the sees of Bristol and Gloucester was effected ; and whe-
ther there was any objection to produce the correspondence
which had taken place on the subject.

Sir G. GREY said ho had not seen the communications
referred to. There bad been a great deal of correspondence
on the matter, to the production of which there would not
be the slightest objection.

FINSBURY.

On Wednesday evening Mr. Phillips met the
electors of the Clerkenwell district at the Spafields
Chapel Schoolroom, Exmouth-street, Mr. Bolton in
the chair. There was a very crowded attendance.
Mr. Phillips advocated a large extension of the suf-
frage beyond Mr. Baines's Bill, protected by the
ballot, the total abolition of church-rates, the
equalization of the poor-rates, and a large reduction
in the national expenditure. He believed those
principles were held by the large majority of the
electors of Finsbury. He would vote against the
Permissive Bill, believing it to be wrong in
principle.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed to put the resolu-
tion to the meeting, a suggestion which caused con-
siderable interruption. At length,
Dr. LOVE ascended the platform for the purpose of
moving an amendment :—" That Mr. Mill is not a
fit and proper person to represent Westminster."
A terrific uproar ensued, which lasted half an
hour. At length the resolution in favour of Mr.
Mill was declared carried.

LIVERPOOL.

Mr. R. S. Graves, the new Conservative candi-
date, has issued an address to the electors. He
says :
"In politics I am associated with the policy of which
Lord Derby is the recognised head ; and, believing that
any administration formed by him would be based on prin-
ciples safer and more constitutional than those of any sec-
tion of his political opponents, I shall be prepared to give
to such an administration a general support, claiming at
the same time that liberty of action and independence of
judgment which a British representative should never sur-
render. With those who seek to force forward violent
changes in our constitution I have no sympathy ; but such
modifications as the progress of society render just and ne-
cessary will always have my support. To the ballot I
especially object, considering the encouragement of a bold
and fearless expression of opinion is alike accordant with
British character and. British institutions, and that to sub-
stitute secrecy for publicity would be inconsistent and
undesirable. I consider that the franchise might with jus-
tice and safety be extended, and I should be glad to see
introduced a well devised measure for largely enfranchis-
ing education and intelligence, but I can give no counten-
ance to schemes of indiscriminate extension which would
confer upon any single class a monopoly of political power.
Advocating to the fullest extent religious toleration, J am
not the less attached to the Church of England, and would
uncompromisingly oppose any attempt to diminish its in-
fluence or weaken its connection with the State. The
large expenditure for the defences of the country, which the
advancement of science has rendered necessary, especially
for the reconstruction of our navy, must prove for some
years a heavy tax on the industry of the nation. Admi-
nistrative reform and public retrenchment may do much
to mitigate the burden, and, believing that both are impe-
ratively demanded, it would be my aim to labour in this
practical direction."
