5. Because, independently of the duties they are
called upon to perform in the protection of the re-
venue, the force is expected to save life in cases of
wreck, to protect property, and carry out the many
onerous duties laid down by the instructions issued
by the Board of Trade relative to wreck and
salvage ; to assist civil authorities in quelling riot ;
to do all and everything it may be called upon to
perform both on shore and afloat—in fact, making
the duties of officers and men more onerous than in
any other branch of the service.
6. And because promotion in the Coastguard is
so limited that naval officers who join it virtually
give up the prospect of advancement, and feel,
therefore, that they should be entitled to count their
time as other officers on full pay.

THE CENSUS BILL.-MEMORIAL TO

LORD PALITEI?STON.

On Saturday, a deputation consisting of Mr.
Ellice, Lord Henley, Lord Enfield, Mr. Baines, Sir
Charles Douglas, and Mr. Btkter, waited on Lord
Palmerston, and presented the following memorial,
signed by 167 members of 04 House of Commons,
all belonging to the Liberal party :
" To the Right Hon. Viscount 'Palmerston, First Lord of
the Treasury, &c.
" My Lord,—"Ve, the undersigned members of the House
of Commons, being supporters of the general policy of the
Government, beg respectfully to represent to your lordship
that the provision of the English Census Bill which requires
every householder to state his religious profession' and
that of his household, appears to us very objectionable, and
we believe it to be highly offensive to many of our consti-
tuents. Believing that the inquiry as to ' religious profes-
sion' will produce no information deserving of reliance, and
that, if persisted in, it will seriously injure the liberal party
and the Government, we earnestly recommend that it be
withdrawn from the bill."

Sir,—The attention of the Board has been this
day drawn to a leading article which appeared in
the Times of the 26th inst., on receipt of the first
intelligence of the unfortunate accident to the
company's steamer Malabar in the harbour of
Point de Galle, and as the directors are therein
placed in the position of being able to choose their
ports of call, and are also condemned for having
made a bad choice in selecting that place instead of
Trincomalee, I am instructed to request the favour
of your publishing the first and fi'ial letters of a
correspondence which took place between the Ad-
miralty and the company in 1853 and 1854, and
which will give the shareholders of the company
and the public the reasons why the directors have
not been able hitherto to avail themselves of the
harbour of Trincomalee.

The documents furnished in support of the com-
pany's application were very voluminous, and, with
some intermediate letters, would perhaps occupy
too much of your space.
Referring again to the article, I am desired to
state that the hawser by which the stem of the
Malabar was made fast did not belong to the ship
but to the harbour authorities ; and that after this
had given way and the bumping took place, the
vessel swung clear, and rode by her anchor at the
bow until after steam was up, and until it became
evident that it was absolutely necessary to beach
her.

I am, er, your obedient servant,
C. IV. HOWELL, Secretary.
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's Offices, June 29.

" Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's Offices, Leadenhall-street,
London, KC.

" Oct. 5, 1853.
" Sir,—By order of the directors of the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany, I have the honour to transmit to you, for
the information of the Lards Commissioners of the
Admiralty :
" 1. An extract from a report made by Captain
Twynam, the company's agent at Point de Galle,
and

" 2. A report from commanders of steam vessels
of the company, practically acquainted with the
port of Point de Galle.

" A reference to these documents, the directors
submit, will show that Point de Galle has, in con-
sequence of the growing up of coral rocks and the
large increase of steam communication with India,
China, Australia, &c., become extremely inconve-
nient and even dangerous as a station for large
steam packets.

" The directors, therefore, respectfully submit
for their Lordships' early consideration and decision
the expediency of making the harbour of Trinco-
malee the station for this company's steampackets,
conveying the East India, China, and Australian
mails, in lieu of that of Point de Galle, as was con •
templated and provided for in the former contract
of the company for the India and China mail
service, dated 26th of December, 1844.—1 have, &c.,
" C. W. HOWELL, Secretary.
" The Secretary of the Admiralty."

"Admiralty, August 25,1254.
" Gentlemen,—With reference to your letter of
the 6th of June last, I am commanded by my Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you
that they have received representations of the
great inconvenience that would be imposed upon
the commercial community and upon the residents
in the southern and western parts of Ceylon if the
mails and passengers were disembarked at Trin-
comalee ; and from the absence of effective means
of communication between that port and Colombo,
as well as from the delay which would arise from
conveying the outward mails 260 miles beyond
Point de Galle, and disembarking them at a
distance of 185 miles of land carriage from
Colombo, my Lords fear that during the
south-west monsoon it would not be safe to
obviate this inconvenience by requiring the mails
and passengers to be landed in the roads of Colombo.
My Lords have also had under their consideration
the delay that would occur in the transmission of
mails to and from China and Australia by requir-
ing the packets to meet at Trincomalee, and there-
fore, without questioning the immense superiority
of the latter port over Point de Galle for the re-
ception of large steamers, their Lordships are not
prepared at present, and without further considera-
tion, to sanction the alteration.—l am, &c.,

"W. A. B. HAMILTON.
"The Peninsular and Oriental Steam
Navigation Company."

THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.—A conversazione
of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women,
in connection with the National Association forthe Promo-
tion of Social Seience, was held at 19, Langham-place, on
the evening of Friday, June 29. Lord Shaftesbury took the
chair at 9 o'clock, by which time a numerous and influen-
tial audience had assembled. The chairman, in an opening
address, explained and enforced the principles of the society,
congratulated the members on the success which had at-
tended their efforts during the first year, and enforced the
necessity of still further extending their operations. Mr.
Cookson urged law engrossing as a suitable occupation for
wemen, described the office established by the society,
which is already supported by several solicitors, and gave
an interesting account of the work done there. Mr. Hast-
ings spoke of printing as peculiarly well adapted for women,
and read a paper contributed by Miss Eniily Faithfull on
the introduction of women into the printing trade. Mr.
Mackenzie read a paper by Miss J. Boticheret t, on book-
keeping-, stating that a knowledge of accounts was one great
reason of the disinclination to employ women in shops,
showing how they might be fitted for the offices of cashiers
and bookkeepers, and anneuncing that a school to supply
these deficiencies had been opened by the society. Vice-
Chancellor Wood spoke of other occupations for women,
and recommended that they should be employed as clerks
in post-offices, and as managers of hotels, as hairdressers,
&c. He read a paper by Miss Parkes on the same subject,
and concluded with an eloquent appeal for further subscrip-
tie's. The audience Were then introduced into a lower
lawroo engrossing,m, where the
e interestingprinting,designingeollection,
&c, was
work in
and excited much admiration,was exhibited,
