KISSING GOES BY FAVOUR.

It is again our duty to call attention to the appoint-
ment of Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, re-
spectively, to the Colonelcies of the Ist Grenadier and of
the Coldstream Guards. Mr. Ellice, the Chairman of
the Committee which had been appointed to regulate
the subject, on'Monday evening, in the House, of Com-
mons, made a statement to the following effect :—The
Committee found upon inquiry that the emoluments of
the Colonelcy of the Ist Grenadier Guards reached
as high a sum as between 4,0001. and 4,5001. per an-
num. But the Duke of Wellington then held the
appointment. It was determined that, until the
Duke of Wellington's death, regard being had
to his great services, matters should be kept
as they were. After the Duke of Wellington's death,
the emoluments of the Colonelcy of the Ist Grenadiers
were to be reduced to 3,0001., and those of the Colonel-
cies of the two next regiments of Guards were to be
maintained at 2,000/, per annum—in other words,
respectively at triple and double the amount of or-
dinary honorary Colonelcies in the English army.
But the committee retained these excessive emolu-
ments solely upon the condition that these Colonel-
cies should be considered the prizes awarded to the
most distinguished military merit—to the noblest—,
to the most capable veterans of the British army—to
men who had given proof of their courage and of their
capacity upon the battle field. Well, then, Prince Al-
bert and Prince, George of Cambridge have been ap-
pointed —the first, Colonel of the Ist Grenadier Guards
at 3,0001. per annum ; the second, Colonel of the Cold-
streams, at 2,0001. per annum.

question upon this subject, in reply to
which he made a statement which will •be found in our
Parliamentary report. Mr. Herbert was at some pains
to commend the liberality of Prince Albert to his regi-
ment, and to prove that, according to all precedent, the
Guards should be commanded by Princes. We have no
doubt of it ; but that is not the question. Mr. Ellice
and Mr. Hume have informed us that, in 1837, a new
system was introduced by Which all precedent was set
aside, and the discussion resolves itself into a mere ques-
tion of testimony, which we leave to the parties con-
cerned. Mr. Ellice, the Chairman of the Committee,
makes a positive statement upon a question of fact on
Monday night; on Tuesday night Alf. S. Herbert contra-
dicts him. On which side is there good faith ! Is not
Mr. Ellice—supported as he is by Mr. Hume—a man
upon whose veracity the public can place reliance !

WEST WORCESTER ELECTION.—The election of a
knight of the shire for the western division of this
county, in the room of General the Hon. H. B. Lygon,
raised to the peerage. by the title of Earl Beauchamp,
took place yesterday, at the Grand Stand on the Wor-
cester race course. At half-past ten • o'clock, the high
sheriff, Charles Noel, Esq., opened the proceedings.
The Hon. W. Coventry then proceeded to put in nomi-
nation Henry Lygon, Lord Viscount Elmley, as a fit
and proper person to represent the division in Parlia-
ment. Sir Hungerford Lechmere seconded the nomina-
tion. The customary question having been put by the
high sheriff, and no other candidate being put in nomi-
nation, Lord Elmley was declared elected. Lord Elmley
then addressed the electors, thanking them for the high
and honourable position in which they had placed him
as their representative—a position of which he was
justly proud, and which he hoped he duly appreciated.
The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
sheriff.
COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN LINE.—On
Saturday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, as
one of the up trains was proceeding from York to Lon-
don, a waggon train ran into the carriages. Luckily
the approach of an accident was observed by the railway
official, and although the shock was rather severe, only
two persons were injured ; one a gentleman, who was
very severely cut on the left eye, and a young child,
whose front teeth were forced out, and face slightly
damaged.
• ErAUSTRALASIAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY.. —The first vessel
of the Australasian Steamship Company (Panama to
Sydney), about to commence operations in New York,
will, it is stated, be a new one just completed, called the
Golden Age. She is of 2,864 tons' burden, and has
capacity for 1,200 passengers (200 first cabin, 200
second, 800 third), with 1,200 tons of coal, and 500 of
cargo. Her frame was originally intended for the
Adriatic, the fifth ship of the Collins' line, and she has
since been completed with special reference to the pas-
senger trade in the Pacific, so as to secure room and
ventilation for the largest possible number of persons.
According to the calculations in the prospectus of the
company, it is expected that she will enable the passage
to Australia to be completed within 35 days from New
York and 50 days from England.

LATEST FROM AMERICA

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH)
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
This morning at seven o'clock the United States
mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain Nye, entered
'the Mersey, from New York direct, with GO pas-
sengers.

The screw steam-ship Alps had arrived there on
the 17th, and the City of Manchester at Phila-
delphia on the 18th. On the latter date the royal
mail-steamer America, from hence, arrived at
Boston.
When the Atlantic sailed business was brisk in
nearly all the cities of the Union. The money
market continued in a satisfactory condition ;
money was by no means scarce, and trading pros-
pects on the whole were good. Stocks of a
dividend-paying character were firm, but those of
a speculative kind were much depressed. Money
was in active demand.
In the Breadstuff market prices had given way,
owing to the advices by the previous steamer from
England, and there was little disposition to pur-
chase at the rates then prevailing, namely :
Western Canal Flour, 5 dols. to 5 dols. 121 c. per
barrel ; Gennessee prime wheat, 1 dol. 20c. to
1 dol. 92c. per 60 lbs. ; Indian corn, round yellow,
62 to 64 cents. per bushel ; Indian meal, 3 dols.
37-ic. to 3 dols. 50c. per barrel.
The New York cotton market continued in a de-
pressed condition. Sales could not be made ex-
cept at a reduction, which holders had generally
submitted to, of one-eighth to a quarter of a cent.
New Orleans and Mobile mid fair to fair, 111 c. to
121.. ; Uplands ditto, lOic. to 111 c.
The America's sews received at New Orleans on
the 18th had rendered the cotton market some-
what firmer, strict middling being quoted Bc.
to c.

The provision market was brisker than at the
previous steamer's departure, and prices firmer.
New prime pork, 151 c. to lc ; new mess, 17c. to
17ic.

Freights remained unchanged at the Atlantic's
departure, the asking rates being, flour to Liver-
pool, 2s. to 2s. 3d. per barrel ; grain to ditto, 7d.
to Bd. per bushel ; cottoh, id. to 3-16 d. per lb.
Exchange on London ruled at 110 to 110 i, and
paper was in moderate demand ; on Paris, 5 124 ;
Hamburgh, 36t to 36f ; Bremen, 80 to 804.
The President had sent a message to the Senate
announcing that England had made a proposition
to withdraw her protection from Musquito, and
make Grey Town a free city, and informing the
Senate of a proposition for a canal across the
Isthmus by both Governments. The International
Copyright Treaty had been signed, and sent to the
Senate for confirmation.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Emperor and the Empress went on Monday
night to the Theatre-Lyrique to witness the repre-
sentation of the Poupee de Nuremberg. In conse-
quence of a grand dinner being given at the Tuile-
ries, their Majesties did not arrive until nine o'clock.
The performance was suspended an instant whilst
the Imperial party took their places. Their Ma-
jesties arrived without escort, and with no other
suite than M. de Beville, M. de Tascher, an orderly
officer, and two ladies of honour. The Empress
was dressed in half-mourning with black lace in her
hair. An immense crowd was assembled on the
boulevard du Temple to witness their arrival, which
was the signal for repeated cheers. Loud applause
also greeted them in the theatre. After the prin-
cipal piece, the ballet of the Lutin de la Vallee was
given, in which Mme. Guy and M. St. Leon more
than once drew down the applause of their Ma-
jesties.

A bill has been laid before the Legislative body
for reducing the postage of letters circulating ix
Paris, and the following is the expose des Matif,
and text of the bill.

" Messieurs, the prepayment of letters materially
simplifies the service of the Post-office. Paid letters re-
quire much less labour than those which are not paid,
as the latter both on arrival and departure are to be
verified as to their weight, their number, and their re-
presentative value. Prepayment is a better guarantee
of the rights of the treasury for the recovery of the post-
age against any kind of fraud, and it renders the dis-
tribution of the letters more easy and more prompt. It
is calculated that a postman distributes eighteen paid
letters in the time required to deliver one unpaid letter.
Lastily it does away with dead or unclaimed letters
Ivhich bring nothing to the treasury, and cause con-
siderable trouble. The Post-office has used all its
efforts to increase the number of prep-aid letters, and it
was for this object the Postage Reform Bill of August
24, 184 S, authorised the prepayment by means of
postage stamps. This encouragement, has, however,
been found to be insufficient, and the experience of
neighbouring countries shows that the most efficient
plan for increasing the number of prepaid letters is
to subject them to a differential passage. In Eng-
land, where letters not prepaid are charged double
postage, the number of paid letters is 97 per cent.
of the whole. In Belgium, where the difference of
the charge is only one-half more, the prepaid letters
reach the proportion of 60 per cent. In France, where
the postage in both cases is the same, only 17 letters
out of 100 are prepaid. We propose to you to apply,
but by way of experiment only, a system of differential
taxation to letters circulating in Paris. They are ex-
ceptionally subject to a charge of 15c., whilst that on
letters within all communes is only 10c. The bill which
we submit to you has for object to reduce the postage
on prepaid letters, written and circulated in Paris, to
10c., while those unpaid will continue to be charged 15c.
This will cause a habit to be acquired of prepaying let-
ters, and will allow a judgment to be formed whether
that prepayment, by facilitating the service of the Post-
office, is not sometimes attended with the inconvenience
of rendering the delivery of the letters to their proper
owners less sure. In restricting its operation to Paris,
there is this advantage, that the experiment may be made
without causing any very serious prejudice to the
treasury. In 1852, the number of letters circulating in
Paris was 7,559,000 ; they produced to the treasury
1,133,859 francs. If the reduction of the postage on
prepaid letters to 10c., leaves the proportion of 20 per
cent, which they are now in Paris, on the number
of letters above mentioned there will be 1,511,800
prepaid letters at 10c., giving 151,180 fr. ; and
6,047,800 unpaid, producing 907,080 fr. ; making totals
of 7,559,000 letters, and 1,058,260 fr. The produce
being thus 1,058,260 fr., the loss to the treasury will be
75,599 fr. The differential charge will, however, increase
the number of prepaid letters, and if we calculate that it
will come up to 50 per cent. of the whole, as in Belgium,
the 7,559,000 Paris letters will pay one half 15c. and the
other half 10c. The produce will then be 944,802 fr.,
and the loss to the treasury will be 188,977 fr. This loss
will be soon covered by the natural increase in the num-
ber of letters. The reduction in the postage of prepaid
letters will be a fresh cause of this increase, so that the
loss to the treasury by the increased number of prepaid
letters will be by degrees made up by the general in-
crease in the number of letters. The bill makes no
changes in the regulations which have fixed the pro-
gressive increase of the charge in proportion to the
weight. It has only for object to grant a premium of
sc. on the prepayment of letters written and circulated
in Paris whatever may be their weight. We hope that
you will not hesitate to adopt it."

The bill only contains the following article :
"From the Ist July, 1854, the postage on prepaid
letters written and circulated in Paris, will be reduced
50."

The Emperor again presided yesterday at a
meeting of the Council of State, in which the dis-
cussion of the Budget was terminated. It is be-
lieved that the navy estimates have been reduced
during the discussion on the budget in the Council
of State by four millions, and a considerable re-
duction in public works has also been made.
The Mediterranean squadron, under the orders
of Admiral Lassusse, composed of eight ships-of-
the-line and a steam-corvette, assembled on the
24th at Antibes.

Turkey should give to the European Powers repa-
ration for well founded complaints, it was equally
necessary for the maintenance of peace that the
Turkish Government should preserve an honour-
able position necessary for the maintenence of the
equilibrium of Europe.
The Bourse was exceedingly firm yesterday, and
both the Rente and Railway Shares have advanced.
The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are 55c. higher,
and the Three per Cents. 65c. higher, the former
closing at 106 f. 50c., and the latter at 80f. 85c.
Bank of France Shares are unchanged ; those of
the Mortgage Bank are 12f. 50. higher, and those
of the Societe Mobiliere 25f. higher. Foreign
Funds remain as they were. Railway Shares. have
advanced from 10f. to 15f. each on an average.
Exchange on London (short), 25f. E 7 c. ; ditto (90
days), 24f. 90c.

AUSTRIA.
A committee of ladies at Vienna., who had pro-
posed to erect a monument on the Bastei, at the
place where the Emperor was wounded, have with-
drawn their projects as the relations of his Majesty
intend themselves to erect one.
A letter from Vienna states -that autograph let-
ters of felicitation for the preservation of the life of
the Emperor of Austria, were presented to his Ma-
jesty on the 23d ult., from the Emperor of the
French, the King of Prussia, the Duke of Bruns-
wick, and the Count de Chambord.
The accounts received from Vienna, by telegraph
which are to the evening of the 27th, state that the
Emperor is rapidly recovering from his wound, and
that his health is in the most satisfactory state.
The Austrian troops in march for Croatia had re-
ceived counter orders.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 26th states that the
Austrian Government had formed the " energetic
determination" of requiring from the British Go-.
veinment the expulsion of AfAzzini and Kossuth.
In case of refusal no British subject would be per-
mitted to cross the Austrian frontier.
A telegraphic dispatch, dated Vienna, 28th,
says :—" There has been a considerable rise in the
leading securities at the Bourse to-day. The pub-
ic mind is completely tranquillised on every sub-
ject."

MONTENEGRO.
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 22d ult., in
the Augsburg Gazette, states that it was on that day
that Prince Mentchikoff, the Minister of Marine,
was to leave on his mission to Constantinople.
" His mission" says the the letter, " has been con-
certed with Austria, and the object of it is to coun-
sel the Ottoman Porte to act with moderation with
respect to its Christian subjects in general, and the
Montenegrins in particular." The Minister was to
be accompanied by Count Dimitri Nesselrode,
Prince Lobanoff (son-in-law of General Paskie-
witsch), aide-de-camp to the Emperor, Prince
Galitzin, and by several officers of the navy.
A telegraphic message, dated yesterday, from
Vienna, says Omer Pacha has received orders to
suspend hostilities against the Montenegrins. The
Austrian troops en marche have received counter-
orders.

ITALY.
The Ticino Gazette states from Berne that the
Austrian Legation presented a third note to the
Federal Council on the 19th ult. It does riot give
the contents of this note, and says that the Federal
Council has adjourned its decision for the present.
The Opinione of Turin quotes a letter from Milan
of the 22d ult., stating that arrests still continue
' there. Among the persons arrested, it mentions a
priest named Don Giovanni Rossari. The church-
bells are still mute, the authorities having had all
the doors giving access to the staircases of the
steeples closed until further orders.
A letter from Bellinzona, in the Piedmontese
Gazette, states that, on the 22d ult., the Govern-
ment of the canton of Ticino had the printers of
the Patriota arrested at Faido, and seals affixed to
the printing office. This act of rigour is attributed
to an incendiary article, in which the Patriota
called upon the people to effect a revolution.
It is stated that two agents of American Emi-
gration Companies have left France for Switzerland
to propose to the government of Tecino, to convey
to America the natives of that canton who have
been expelled from Austria.
The Count Rayneval, Ambassador from France
to the Court of Rome, was received with great
pomp and cordiality on the occasion of presenting
his new letters of credence from the Emperor to
his Holiness. Nearly all the cardinals, accompanied
by the whole diplomatic body, the Ministers, and.
the chief officers of the French army in Rome,
attended at the ceremony.
The Superior Council of the order of Jesuits
have presented to the Pope ' • with a prayer that
his Holiness will transmit it to the different Catholic
powers a protest against the decision of three of the
Republics of South America, banishing the Jesuits,
and confiscating their property.

PR lASSIA
The trial of Professor Gervinus for " exciting to
treason, cte.," commenced and terminated at Man-
heim on the 24th, but judgment has been deferred
until the 2d of March.
A recently published statistic gives the number of
individuals of both sexes now in divers penitenti-
aries and houses of correction within the monarchy
at somewhat more than 90,000.
The Grand Duke of Oldenburg died suddenly,
and without suffering, on Sunday morning, at 11
o'clock.
