TEE NEW POST-OFFICE REGULATIONS,

(Signed) COWLEY.
His Excellency M. Drouyn de Lhuys, &o.

(Translation.)

M. L'AMBASSADEUR,
I have laid before the Emperor the letter that your Ex-
cellency did me the honour to address to me on the 10th
instant, containing the expression of regret felt by the Go-
vernment of her Britannic Majesty on learning the lament-
able loss which France has sustained by the death of
Marshal St. Arnaud. The Emperor has been deeply af-
fected by a proceeding which gives such evidence of the
union of this Government with that of the Queen, and
of the sincerity with which the two countries are
henceforth called upon to participate in all that
can be for either of them a subject of mourning or
of joy. If, under the present circumstances, anything
could assuage the grief which the Emperor and France
have felt at such a loss, it is truly, as your Excellency has
fe, well said, the satisfaction which If:trail:o St. Arnaud
was enabled in dying to experience, that he had just in-
scribed his name in conjunction with those of heroic allies
on one of the most glorious pages of the military annals of
England and France.
I have no need, my Lord, to add that the terms in which
your Excellency has so courteously expressed yourself per-
sonally in regard to the Marshal, have been duly appre-
cis.ted.—l hasten, &c.,
(Signed) DROUYN DE LHUYS.

FOREIGN OFFICE, OCT. 16.
The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. James
Colquhoun as Consul-General in London for the King of
Saxony.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. IG.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of a French Imperial decree, from her Majesty's Ambassa-
dor at Paris, fixing a duty of 25 centimes per hectolitre on
the importation of sweet wines into France.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of a French Imperial decree from her Majesty's Ambassa-
dor at Paris, imposing a duty of 50 centimes per 100 kilo-
grammes on the importation of salt meats into France.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of' a French Imperial decree from her Majesty's Ambassa-
-dor at Paris, extending, to the 31st of July, 1855, the pro-
visions of former decrees granting exemption from French
navigation dues on cargoes of grain and flour, rice, pota-
toes, and dry vegetables.
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of two French Imperial decrees, transmitted by her Ma-
jesty's Ambassador at Paris, by which the term fixed for
the free importation of grain into France and the colonies
of Martinique, Guadeloupe, the Isle de la Reunion, and
Senegal, has been extended to the 31st July, 1855.

Sinde'the report of the commissioners appointed by
thnGevernineet "to inquire into the state of the Post-
office" appeared, the Postmaster-General, Viscount Can-
ning, has ;beep actively engaged with Mr. Rowland Hill
and the heads :elthe several departments, in the arrange-
ment.44oi° necessary irelririninaries. The Money-order-
been Placed'. upon an entirely- different basis,
an 41.1 number of
.elarki therein materially reduced.
Mail; Portion' of theew.ork has been done some weeks.
On Saturday morning laathe new arrangement of the
scale7oleppointrnenti with reference to the clerks in the
Inland-office was tiotified to them, and in the evening
the changes decided upon as to those in the London
District Office were communicated to the officers in that
department. We hear also that those affecting the letter-
carriers, messengers, stampers, &c., are in a consider-
able state of forwardness, and that it has been deter-
mined to adopt a system of out-door detective inspection
—a very necessary, entirely novel, but very valuable
arrangement.
The scale of salaries agreed upon is the same as that
proposed by the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury,
namely :—Clerks—For the lowest class, 801. a year, in-
creasing at the rate of Si. per annum, to 1501. ; for the
caws above it, 1801. a year, increasing by 71. 10s. to
240/. ; and for the highest class, 260/. a year, increasing
by 101. a year to 350/. The class termed "sorters,"
"messengers," "stampers," "porters," &c., are to be
Merged in the common term "letter-carriers," the lowest
in which class is to receive 198. per week, and to rise
by an annual increase of ls. per week, to 235. ; the
next class te begin at 255., and te i ice to 30e. ; the class
above them to begin at 325., and to rise to 38s. ; and the
highest class to begin at 405., and to rise to 50s.
The system which has been carried out in making the
new arrangements has been strictly in accordance with
the propositions of the commissioners. Before applying
the HOW scale the Postmaster-General has made strict
inquiry, and instituted an impartial examination into the
qualifications of the several officers in the departments,
and it liras been found that under the system of promo-
tion hitherto adapted some of the of had advanced
to positions for which they were not properly qualified,
chile others have been overlooked. These anomalies
have been corrected. The number of clerks has been
very materially reduced in the inland office, the total
number being now limited to 130, or not much more than,
half the former number, it being the expressed and un-
doubtedly accurate opinion of the Lords of the Treasury
that " the work of sorting letters might, in a great
measure, be entrusted to the members of the inferior
office, if proper precautions were taken for filling this
establishment with well-qualified persons." The Post-
master-General has also fixed the future complement of
each class according to the nature and amount of duty
to be performed in it, and in consequence a re-distribu-
tion of the officers has taken place. This has, as might
be expected, givenrise to some singular and unprece-
dented changes. The forming of the classes having
taken place according to " qualification and merit" in
all cases, it has happened that some of the senior officers
, have fallen into the lower class, while some of the juniors
have risen into the higher class. Much discontent is
said to have been occasioned by this arrangement, but
that was only natural; notwithstanding that, however,
there cannot be two questions as to its wisdom. Pecu-
niarily the parties will not suffer ; for, although the sum
paid to the officers in the lower ranks may be less than
the parties placed there under these peculiar circum-
- stances may have formerly.received, they are to lose no
pay, the distinct words of the Lords of the Treasury
being, that when the Postmaster-General shall make a
" re-distribution" of its officers, " in no case shall any
ono lose any part of his salary."
Important arrangements have been made, and orders
given in sores of the departments as to pensions for the
future. In the London district office, for instance, a
letter-carrier of 45 years' standing never received as su-
perannuation allowance more than 9s- par week. In
future' however, this pittance will be altered into some-
thing like a liberal sum ; for as the men are to be pen-
sioned in accordance with the terms of the acts of Parlia-
ment as to the superannuation of civil servants, an
officer of such standing will be entitled to at least eight-
twelfths of his " salary and indemnity."
In the Mail Coach-office several changes have taken
place. The title of " Mail Coach-office" has been
dropped, and that of "Mail Office" substituted, for a
reason sufficiently obvious. An inspector-general of
mails has been appointed, and a chief clerk of the de-
partment. Four inspectors have also been appointed,
at salaries commencing at 3001. a year, and rising by an
annual increasement of 201. to 5001. It is, however,
rather singular that, although these situations are filled
up, nothing has at present been done for that deserving
bodyup

frankly admitted by the Lords of her Majesty's Trea-
sury.' It is to be hoped that the humane recommenda-
tions of their lordships in their ease will not be over-
looked by the right hon. viscount at the head of the
Post-office department:

BETTING AT MA.NCIIESTER„—YzaTERDAT.

On Saturday the principal book-makers were early in
attendance, and at once commenced paying, and con-
sidering that the settling days at Manchester are Men-
day and Tuesday, a good deal of money changed hands.
On Monday the rooms were thickly atttended, the
backers of horses mustering in strong force, which
afforded proof positive that they were on the right side.
To-day the rooms were again well attended, and the
settling has gone off tolerably well. One or two, whose
names we shall withhold at present, have not yet put in
an appearance, and Whose creditors begin to fear that
'their absence is too significant ; however, all hopes are
not yet lost, but should they fail to come to a settle-
ment, it will serve as a lesson to backers, and perhaps
cause them in future to invest with men whose long stand•
ing insures stability, in preference to seeking far those
who lay the longest odds. We may here remark that
great credit is due to the Manchester book-makers for
displaying their usual promptitude, in discharging their
liabilities upon this occasion, notwithstanding their heavy
losses. The ring is supposed to hove lost upwards of
100,0001., and it is said that Messrs. Payne and Groville
and friends have won up wards of 60,0001.
Of course, there has been very little time to speculate
on the Cambridgeshire Stakes; however, from what little
was done, we are enabled to give the following list o'
