memorable sth of November, 1854. Ea* in lhe
fight he was shot severely, and was removed '
from the field with difficulty, but the skill of
his old friend Alexander set him up sufficiently
for a voyage homewards to recruit his strength,
and he returned with all possible speed to his
command before Sebastopol. In compliance with
his desire for active occupation, Lord Raglan
placed the British portion of the expedition to
Kertch and Yenikale under the command of Sir
George Brown, who always felt keenly the imputa-
tions to which he was exposed in consequence of the
destruction of the Museum of antiquities and the
burning of buildings. The excesses which certainly
disgraced the Allies on this occasion he attributed
to the portion of the forces not under his orders,
and he regretted subsequently that he had taken
steps to prevent any publicity being given to the
facts. For the patient duties of a long siege Sir
George had no taste, and he had still less temper -
for the endurance of a trial which is thethitterest a
soldier can bear—the promotion of a junior officer
to a coveted command over his head. His failing
health, his wounds, his long services, were grounds
sufficient for the gallant old man's retirement from
the scene wherein he had added much to ancient
laurels and effaced many unfavourable impressions.
Like many good-hearted men, he disliked his own
good-nature, and covered it in with a cloak of
asperity. He would use harsh language to any one
who suspected him of being benevolent. No wonder
if he was the victim of his own injustice to himself,
and created unfavourable impressions which a closer
acquaintance would have removed. On his retire-
ment from the Crimea he received the First Class
of the Medjidie. He was made G.C.B. in 1855,
and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. He was
invested with the Order of Savoy by the King of
Sardinia in the same year. The only Order to which
he belonged before the Crimear War was that of
Knights of Hanover, of which he was created in
1831, but he wore the Peninsular War medal with
seven clasps. He was created General on the 7th of
September, 1855, and was 13th on the list at the
time of his death. In March, 1860, he was ap-
pointedande continued thineuCedominmtahnadt opfostthetinFotrhcees, , ifinvlre eyleaanrsd;

sent year. For some months he had been failing in
health, and at last he passed away in his native
place, leaving behind him a memory endeared by
many acts of kindness, a name of unsullied honour,
and a reputation of spotless integrity. He married
in 1831 the daughter of Hugh Macdonell, Consul-
General at Algiers, who, we believe, survives him,
but there is no heir male to his honours.—Times.

TILE POSITION OF THE BANK.—Ona cursory exa-
mination the return of the Bank of England this week
would seem to show some anomalous figures. At this
date last year the rate of interest was 8 per cent., while
now it is only 4 per cent. Yet at that period the reserve
of notes in the till was actually greater than at this mo-
ment. Some persons look to the reserve as the great key
to the state of the market, and these may fancy that
some unsoundness of management must consequently lie
under the present figures. Others, with better reason,
look to the state of the bullion, and to these the fact that
the total now held is £1,389,378 in excess of the amount
last year, or nearly 11 per cent., will serve as a sufficient
explanation of the difference between the rate of discount
at the respective periods. The fact is that there are occa-
sionally times when the reserve is the question that requires
attention, but that most frequently the true indication of
the probabilities of the market is to be found in the bullion.
When panic prevails from over-speculation, accompanied
by a tendency to an outflow, and there is a fear that bankers
and others may rush to the Bank of England to
dra
for all
w out
their balances and hoard them, so as to be prepared
contingencies, the indispensable course for that blia
ment is to guard against such a depletion by puttingesta
iht;
stock
io the h
charge for discount to a point by which the movement
the sole
moyementmay
be checked. At ordinary periods, a
theaotf
the
the contrary,
tracdke oof f e
country with foreign nations, point for watchfulness is the condition
oni
bul-
lion is the infallible guide. Ihe comparative lowness of the
reserve at this moment is from the circumstance that the
amount of currency in the hands of the public at home is
unusually large. In this week's return it is a million and a,
quarter in excess of the same date last year. This is not
consequent upon panic or apprehension of any kind. Pro-
bably it is still partly the result of the recent election ex-
penditure. The extra amount is certain to flow back in due
course, and the least increase of pressure in the discount
market would most likely bring it in rapidly. Conse-
quently, there is no reason that the peculiarity should now
form any material element in the calculationi as to the
point at which the rate of discount may be securely placed.

[ADTERTISEMENT.]— Holloway's Pills.—Bilious affec-
tions and stomach complaints induced by atmospheric heat
or too liberal diet, if not earl checked, are often attended
with serious consequences. When any one finds his ideas
less clear than usual, his eyesight dimmed, and his head
dizzy, while he is indisposed for all exertion, physical or
mental, he may be quite sure that he is in immediate need
of some cooling and purifying medicine. Let him send at
once for a box of Holloway's pills, after a few doses of
which his head will be clear again, his spirits be elevated,
and all his energies be restored. Printed directions for the
guidance of patients in the use of this admirable medicine
are affixed to every box.
