MR. ROWLAND HILL AND THE

POST-OFFICE.

For more than a half_century there have only been
two secretaries to the Post-office department—viz., Sir
Francis Freeling and Colonel Maberly. Sir Francis
was brought up in the Post-office, and had performed the
humblest as well as the highest duties of the department.
He was a protege of Mr. Palmer, the great Post-office
reformer, on account of hie intelligence and his
lingness to carry out Mr. Palmer's views. At Sir
Francis's death, however, the Post-office was in dis•
repute. There was a loud cry for reform ; its revenue
was decreasing, and there was a general belief that the
department had not kept pace with the spirit and,
warts of the age. At this time, Lieutenant-Colonel
Maberly, a member of the House of Commons, had
distinguished himself in the house for his business
habits, and he was selected by the Whig government
to succeed Sir Francis Freeling. He, of course, was 1;,
stranger to the business of the department. He had no
been secretary many years before Mr. Rowland Hill pro'
pounded the penny postage plan. Colonel Maberly was
first opposed to its introduction. It was however carried,
and Mr. Hill was after a time installed into the depot'
nient, with co-ordinate authority with the colonel. TO
created some slight embarrassment. Colonel Mal erll
has therefore retired, and Mr. Hill has now succeeded
him with undivided power, to carry out in its integrity
that great measure on which his fame will securely rest,
and the utility of which has been long ratified by the,
Government and the country. Mr. Hill has now ha
many years' experience of the whole machinery and
working of the Post-office, and will have nothing
learn in that respect. It is singular that all postal
reformers have been unacquainted with the depary
ments which they have revolutionised. Men intimately
acquainted with the machinery of the Post-office, who
know every cog, pin, and wheel, as it were, that keep
the machine moving, see insuperable difficulties in al
great reform. Reformers, however, perceive nothing
but the simple and great principle they have discovered,
and they instinctively and rightly think that it is pis'
Bible to remove every obstacle that prevents that prin;
ciple from being carried out. It is in the perseverance and
enthusiasm of such reformers that mankind have been
benefited. Mr. Rowland Hill has now had his aspire'
tions gratified. Raised by the Government and the
country, he is placed in a supreme position, by which he
will be enabled to mould a great governmental depart'
ment of a great country, so that it shall be a blessing t°
the whole world, assisting commerce, promoting educa'
tion, providing abundant facilities for social intercourse,
and contributing as much, perhaps, as anything can cow
tribute to the peace and prosperity of the world.

THE LOSS OF THE E.RCOLANO.

It was in the night from the24thtotthheat2stthheuslti.e,iliina
the waters between Nice and Antibes,
and the Ercolano came into collision, having at the time
all their steam up. It was midnight ; there was a heavy
sea, and the weather was dark and rainy. There was a
strong wind. It was a time of indescribable terror and
confusion. In less than ten minutes the Ercolano, in
the hull of which the Sicilia had made a large opening,
sank. The Sicilia received but slight injury. The four
boats of the Sicilia, which were launched immediately.
saved as many of those who were swimming as could be
heard. Of all the women on board the Ercolano, only
one was saved—Maria Ambrusano, a chambermaid. She
was upon deck. Sir Robert Peel also escaped by a mi-
racle. His secretary and two servants perished. Among
the persons who were lost are reckoned 36 passengers
and 12 sailors. A sailor and a passenger, who had been
clinging to one of the fragments of the Ercolano, were
picked up in the waters of Nice by a barque.—Corriere
Mercantile.
An English passenger on board the Ercolano, who has
arrived at Nice, gives the following account :—" After
having supped with Sir Robert Peel, I went on deck to
smoke a cigar. The night was very dark, and the sea
exceedingly rough. I was walking backwards and for-
wards, and was astonished at not seeing any one at the
helm. The captain was in his cabin. fperceived a light
at a certain distance, and I informed the helmsman, who
made no reply. I repeated my warning with uneasiness,
because it appeared to me that the light was coming to-
wards us. All of a sudden a frightful shock was felt.
The masts gave way. Two sailors having launched a
boat I got into it, and this was how I was saved. I beard
piercing cries, and the voices of women. A few minutes
afterwards the Ercolano sank with all on board. I sever
re-
al
times called Sir Robert Peel by his name, Without
. ceiving any answer. The Ercolano had no light."--Par.
lament°, of Turin. . .

THE ARMY.

The name of another general officer, Major-General
Roger Parke, colonel of the 86th Regiment, has to be
added to our military obituary. Major4General Parke
entered the service in 1795 as ensign in. the 39th, with
which corps he was present at the capture of Demerara,
Essequibo, and Berbice, in the spring of 1796. He also
served in the campaign of 1805-6 in Naples. From May,
1809, to February, 1812, he was in the Peninsula,
shared in the victories of Albuera and Busaco, was pre-
sent at the first siege of Badajos, and took part in many
of the minor encounters with the enemy.
General Gage John Hall, whose death has been re-
corded, served under the Duke of York in Flanders, in
1793 ; also, at Isle Dieu and Ferrol. He served in 1805,
when major and lieutenant-colonel of the 9th Regiment,
forming part of a force destined for Hanover. He, with
Colonel De Berniere, 11 officers, and 300 men of that
corps, were shipwrecked off the coast between Boulogne
and Calais. All were made prisoners, and he was de-
tained until liberated by the allied forces entering France
in 1814. On his return to England he was promoted to
the rank of major-general, with the date 1813. In 1816
he was appointed to the staff at the Cape of Good Hope.
In 1817 was removed to command the forces at the
Mauritius, where he soon after fell into the temporary
charge of that Government. He was recalled in 1819,
and in 1823, wheu the 99th Regiment was raised, the
• Duke of York appointed him Colonel, and sent that
corps to the Mauritius. He was removed in 1832 to
the 70th Regiment.

was done at 65s 6d, whereat there were, however, nume-
rous buyers. Subsequently the market improved, and

THE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC.

The following are the latest advices received in
reference to the state of the navigation in the
Baltic :

REVEL, April 18.—To-day the wind at S.S.W., and
three vessels are endeavouring to work their way
through the ice, which blocks up the entrance to the
harbour.

BOLDERAA, April 23, a.m.—Out of the 24 vessels
which were off the harbour, eight have been got into
port. The N. wind has again driven the ice very near
the coast, but there are various open spaces in it. The
Caroline is still fast in the ice, and has drifted close to
the coast of Courland. P.M.—All the vessels which
were in sight off this port have got safe into harbour,
with the exception of a Swedish brig, and' the Russian
barque Caroline. The former lies fast in the ice, about
two miles W. of the harbour ; the latter has been driven
so far into the Bay of Katiern, that her masts only are
visible. April 24.—8 y the fresh N. breeze, the ice has
been drive❑ considerably nearer to this coast.

BILL.

Mr. CARDWELL moved that this bill be committed
pro forma, in order to insert amendments. He had been
in communication with the principal railway companies,
and he thought he should be able to make some changes in
the machinery of the bill that would make it carry out its
objects in a better manner.
The bill then passed through committee pro forma.

WARSAW.

A letter from Warsaw, of the 24th ult., states
that the Consuls-General of Great Britain and
France in that city had received from M. de Sa-
phianos, chief ad interim of the diplomatic depart-
ment, an official notification to leave the country.
M. de Saphianos added, that the Military Gover-
nor-General had orders to give them their pass-
ports. The letter states that nothing certain was
known as to the situation of the British and French
subjects after the departure of the Consuls.
At Warsaw 1,000,000 roubles in paper had been
issued.
Some papers mention, that the preparations
making for the reception of the Emperor of Russia
at Warsaw have been suddenly suspended, and
that he will not visit the capital of Poland till the
middle of next month. The Czas, Polish paper,
states that the Russian Court, instead of removing
to Warsaw or Moscow, as had been reported, will
take up its residence for the summer at Peterhoff,
which lies over against Cronstadt.

THE BRITISH CAMP AT GALLIPOLI.

correspondent The special of the Morning
ohronicle writes the following from the British
camp :
" ULAHIR, APRIL 20.—T0-day the intended el"
trenchments here were traced by the French engineers,
assisted by Lieutenant-General Sir G Brown ; and to'
morrow the ground will be broken. The French do the
half of the work to the eastward, or right of the position
—the English the other half. About 2,000 men of evil
army will be employed. We have here now, under the
command of Col. Lawrence, of the Rifles, 112 companies ef
Sappers and Miners, a battalion of Rifles, and the 50th aeu
93d regiments; in all 2,700 men. Nothing of any ill'
portaece has taken place since my letter of the 15th,
except that yesterday orders were given for parties to
patrol Gallipoli during the night. Under this order the
men were totally unrestrained, and exposed to all thici
temptations of extreme cold, irregularity of meals, an
hard work, with the means of intoxication very ChtkiP"
That the discipline of the British army has not fallen
into great dist epute we must thank the soldiers thee!,
selves. Of course some were a little riotous, and a"
complaints against them were much exaggerated. I ell,
happy to say that Col. Victor, of the Enginetrs, is nine'
better. He will probably go to Constantinople to replace
Brigadier-Gen. Tylden, whose fall has hurt him more tan
was at first supposed, though I trust not so much as to
cause his services to be lost during the entire campaign'
The weather is fine again, but the nights are still verY.
cold. The head-quarters are not likely to be here, as ,S2„'
G. Brown moved into the house reserved for Lord Itagut,"
on the arrival of the mail. You will of course know
England, before we do here, what Austria intends. ,
she join us, we shall probably march by Adrianople and
Sophia, and effect a junction with the Austrian ail*
With the Danube for "the transport of heavy mater,
we shall then probably clear Wallachia of Prsians before winter, and perhaps take Ismail and
in. Bessarabia, which places we dare not leave in out
rear in advancing into Moldavia. If Austria is neutra,
or against us, we must defend Constantinople, ant.
above ail, Varna, for through it we can always Pwisi,
in troops on a Russian army attempting to erno
the Balkan. With 200,000 Turks and 80,0 y _
auxiliaries, we shall hardly attempt to force tt7
Russians back from their strong position arecle
the fortresses at the mouth of the Danube. s,
could, no doubt, have done so a month ago, when 1-'7
sian reinforcements could not come up ; but now.
rather in a few months, for it will be months ye,_triurig
fore the English army is an array) Russia could bring
up as many if not more men than we can. There is e
now one spot which we could perhaps secure byat_ -d
vv
gorous stroke, viz., Sebastopol ; but to do this ~ I"sr
require a great outlay in transports, as the army ,
the purpose should land at least 50,900 strong, and ww"

HORSE GUARDS.

Mr. MACKINNON asked the Chief Commissioner of
Woods and Forests, whether the practice of exercising the
Horse Guards within the precincts of Hyde-park (contrary
to usual custom) is to be continued ?

Sir W. MOLESWORTH replied that her Majesty's
household troops were allowed by his Royal Highness, the
ranger, to exercise in the park. (Hear, hear.) Their usual
place of exercising was that part of the park on which the
Great Exhibition stood ; but this year they were prevented
from exercising on that spot for fear of tearing up the
newly-sown grass, and they were consequently allowed to
exercise now at the north end of the park. He had no
power to withdraw that order. (Hear, hear.)

• NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS.
Lord LOVAINE asked whether the steamers taken up for
the conveyance of her Majesty's troops to the East, were
not engaged exclusively for the accommodation of those
troops; and whether the circumstances are known to the
Board of Admiralty, under which the person who reported
to the Times newspaper the condition of the troops landed
at Gallipoli, appears to have obtained a passage on board
such steamer from England to Malta, and from Malta to
Gallipoli.

Mr: OSBORNE sad the Board of Admiralty had no offi-
cial cognisance of the reporter to the Times, or any other
paper; but, oat of personal courtesy to the noble lord, he
had made inquiries into the subject, and he found that the
steamers conveying the troops did not convey this gentle-
man from England to Malta. Whether the troop steamer
conveyed him from Malta to Gallipoli he could not say,
but he had no doubt the position and education of the
gentleman would make him an excellent companion for
the officers in command of the troops. (Hear.)
COAL FOR THE NAVY ON THE EUXINE COAST.
Mr. EWART rose to inquire of the First Lord of the
Admiralty whether any measures have been adopted for
ascertaining that coal, for the purposes of the steam navy,
can be procured at Ezakli, on the southern caast of tree
Euxine, between Constantinople and Tredsond.
Sir J. GRAHAM could assure his hon. friend that his
earliest attention had been directed to the subject, for the
house must be aware that for the purposes of conducting
naval warfare coal had become hardly less essential than
gunpowdtr.' and the price of coal in the Sea of Marmora
lad-of late become enormous. Most fortunately for the
independence of Turkey, a molt valuable mine of coal had
been discovered at Ezakli, and immediate attention would
be given to working it, and neither British skill nor capital
would be wan ti ngfor that purpose. He had great expectation
that there would be obtained an abundant supply of coal
equal to the wants of Turkey and the combined fleets
(Cheers.)
London, England, 1854-05-05

CONSTANTINOPLE.

From Constantinople there are all sorts of odds
and ends to be communicated. The Greek conspi-
racy, of which the Russian emissary, Baron Oelsner,
was one of the principal members, was a most for-
midable affair. The plan was to raise , a host of
some 60,000 Greek conspirators in various parts of
Turkey, who, at a given hour, were to put their
Turkish neighbours to the sword. According to
the correspondent of the Wanderer, the principal
blow was-to be dealt in Constantinople, where the
direction of the insurrection was to be intrusted
" to a certain Plantagenet Harrison." Oelsner, who
received 1,000 piastres a mouth for acting as a
Turkish spy, was weak enough .to unbosom himself
to a physician named Aska, -who at once be-
trayed him to the authorities. One of Oelsner's
accomplices was Constantinu, the captain of a
Greek vessel, who was in correspondence with
M. Metaxa. Constantinu had undertaken- to find
40 Greek captains who would engage to convey
arms and ammunition to Constantinople, and to
assist in the work of death with their crews. A
Colonel Bobiu.ianoff was the middle man between
Oelsner and Prince Gortschakoff. It appears that,
at a soiree given by Gen. Baraguay d'Hilliers, the
Hungarian General Klapka was an invited guest,
and that as soon as he entered the room, all the
Austrians present, the corps diplomatique included,
went away. _ _ _ _ •

' Gen. Itia,pka has had audiences with Reschid
Pacha and Lord Stratford do Redcliffe. Reschid
Pacha, it appears, lately told a deputation of Polish
refugees that the moment had arti ved for taking
their offers into consideration, and that General
Wysocki would speedily receive a definitive answer
to his proposals. The question of nationalities can-
not be blinked much longer. If the Poles fight
against Russia, they will not, as mere hired soldiers
of fortune, for Turkey alone.

PETITIONS.

Petitions were presented by Mr. Dunlop, from various
places in Scotland. in favour of the Lord Advocate's Edu-
cation Bill; by Mr. Hume, from different places in Scot-
land, to the same effect.
THE NEW BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice
that on Monday he should move certain resolutions in
committee of ways an I moans, and that a portion of these
resolutions relating to the temporary supply for the public
service would be printed and circulated on Monday
morning.
M. Dis4AELI asked the right hon. gentleman what
course he intended to pursue on Aloiaay.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
must ieserve his explanation for .41onday, but he could
state now that the course he should take would be strictly
in accordance with precedent.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.

In reply to Mr. TiABoucHERE,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that
he had no intention of submitting to the house this session
any measure for regulating the civil service, but Govern-
ment had in contemplation the introduction of a bill to
amend the Superannuation Act, though they did not admit
the claims of the civil service on this head.
Mr. HUME said an idea prevailed that the civil service
had not been heard, and he suggested that a committee for
that purpose should be heard, (Hear, hear.)
THE COMBINED FLEETif:7BOXBA.RD4ENT OF
London, England, 1854-05-05

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, May I.—The news is considered con-
firmed here, that a grand and final attempt is -
being prepared At St. Petersburg for gaining over
Prussia to the side of Russia. The bait is to be a
treaty of commerce-. It is supposed the Czar, if
not from political motives, is-willing to conclude it,
since the total drying up of his revenues from im-
port duties, and the rapid growth of the smuggling
trade must soon convince him how ruinously his
commercial system is acting on his own empire.
No treaty of commerce has been made between the
two countries since 1826, and it was suffered to
expire in 1836.
The news of the bombardment of Odessa has
produced a very favourable impression on the ex-
change
here.
STETTIN, May I.—The Prussian Government
that allowed arms to pass to Russia stops accoutre-
ments for Sweden. About 8,000 helmets were sent
here from the Swedish embassy in Berlin, in order
to be shipped across to Stockholm. An order has
just been received, prohibiting their exportation.
The Prussian Consul-General at BuCharest, who
lately broke off his official intercourse with that
town ou acc)Unt of no attention having been paid
to his reclamations in the affair of a foreigner
under his protection, has been called to Berlin. It
is stated that the Prussian Government fully ap-
proVes of his conduct.

Total...

£4,553,73

The Su-plementnry Estimate is concise, and not o,
very great amount. It comprises "the charge which
will probably be incurred for the pay, clothing, awl
incidental expenses of a further augmentation of 14,264
of ad ranks." The additional numtaers to be ♦oted arc
14,799 of all ranks, and the sum required is 300,0001
Comparing the numbers for 1854 5 with those for 1853-4,
we find the total of officers raised from 4,543 to 4,985 ;
that of non-commissioned officers from 7,259 to 10,200,
and that of rank and file from 90,481 to 127,491. It
thus appears that the increase is 442 in the first class,
2,941 in the second, and 37,110 in the third, making a
total of 40,493 ; but 25,694 having been already voted,
14,799 only remain to be provided by the supplemental
estimate. A cornwrison of the charges for the,two
years shows an increase of 1,132,470/4 being the difference
between 7,157,4861., the amount for the current year,
and 6,025,0161., *which was that of last year ; but as
832,470/. was provided in the original estimates of this
session, 300,0001. is the additional sum now required.

'IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

Their lordships assembled at five o'clock.
The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from
a dissenting congregation for the abolition of church rates.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Glasgow
in favour of the assimilation of the Scotch and English
lalnkruptcy law.

TREATMENT OF CONVICTS.
Lord ST. LEONARDS called attention to a letter in
the Times, written by the chaplain of York Castle, stating,
in reference to the case of the Edinburgh prisoner men-
tioned in this house by the noble and learned lord on a
former evening, that he knew that the police were not only
in the habit of dogging liberated convicts, and preventing
themgetting employment, but actually employed their com-
panions in guilt to decoy them into the commission of offences,
In orderthatthey (the police) might have a job at the assizes.
The noble lord made some severe comments on such con-
duct on the part of the police, and expressed a hope that
some inquiry into the circumstances would be instituted
by the Government. He moved for certain returns in re-
gard to convicts.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had no objection
to the returns being made. If the facts stated by the
chaplain of the castle were true, tho conduct of the police
-was strongly to be deprecated. He promised the noble
and learned lord that the matter should be investigated.

The returns were then agreed to.
