Sir Henry Bark ly is to be the new Governor of Vic-
toria. After having passed seven years in the West
Indies and conducted the government of two important
colonies with eminent success at a critical period, he will
almost immediately return to England and receive his
appointment to the charge of the new and wealthy
so::iety which has lately sprung into existence on the
shores of Australia.
'rasa CONSOLS MINING COMPANY.—In this concern,
undergoing the process of winding up, Master Litton
gave judgment on Monday, deciding that Sir Charles
Chatterton, Sir James Dombrain, and Mr. Macartney
are to be held liable to the full extant, and Mr. Perrier
to the extent of 630 of the shareß,

The town of Dunse (Scotland), which contains a popu-
lation of between 3,000 and 4,000, does not possess a
single public-house !
THE REPRESENTATION OF CLIEE.—We understand
that a strong popular desire exists in Clare to return NV,
Smith O'Brien, Esg., as one of the representatives at the
next opportunity. A gentleman of influence in the county
infornied us yesterday he was offered 80 votes in one
local:tv, in behalf of the distinguished Irishman.—
Munster News.

GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE IN IRELAND.—The salary
of each of the three new Crown solicitors for the North
West Circuit is fixed at 8001. per annum. Two of the
situations have, it is said, been already di-posed of. Mr.
Geale, a connexion by marriage of Earl Fortescue, gets
one of the appointments, and the second goes to Mr. D.
Fitzgerald, brother of the attorney-General.
THE SUNDAY BAND QUESTION.—MEETING IN WEST-
MINSTER.—Last night a public meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Westminster was held in the Great Hall, Broad-
way, for the purpose of taking into consideration the
discontinuance of the music in the parks on Sundays.
Sir John V. Shelley, M.P., presided. The large halt
was crowded. A resolution expressing the regret and
indignation of the meeting at the withdrawal of the
bands was almost unanimously adopted ; as was a reso-
lution in favour of a proper organisation to carry the ,
wishes of the meeting into effect.
ROTATORY STORMS.—On Monday evening last t.!meet-
ing of the members of the United Service Institution
was h ld, when Captain Fishbourne, R.N., read a paper
on " Rotatory Storms in the Chinese Seas. After de-
scribing the well-known phenomena of the trade winds,
he explained the now well-accTted theory that burti-
ca,aes, typhoons, and other such storms move in a cir-
cuit, the centre of which advances on a tract generally
well known in different seas and different latitudes. In
each such case there was a centre or vortex of greater
dal iger, of a diameter in the China Seas, of about 250
mil t s. The influence of this revolving centre extended in
wi fening circles to about 1,200 miles. It was most
dangerous for any ship to get into the centre, while, by
le aching the outer edge of the circle, she might have
ti no weathi r, sail round the storm with a fair wind, and
r ,ctually make her passage quicker than if the cyclone
o• storm had nit occurred, and with no inconvenience.
From ignorance of this rotatory character of storms.
sowever, a ship would often run into the very focus of
Sanger, or else heave-to and wait for the danger to ap-
proach her. The indications of the barometer were of
reat impottance—the fall of a quarter of an inch in the
f itrcury was sufficient to warn the seaman of approach-
, 'Mg danger. By attention to other phenomena, the
veering of the wind and the presence of a swell, he
' tinight easily ascertain in what direction the ttcrm was
unoying, and avoid the dangeroos centre and ascertain
which was the path of safety. A discussion followed,
. in which Mr. Martin, Professor Tyedal, Admiral Sir
George Sartorius, Captain Ingram, R.N., and others
took part. The chairman (Colonel Lindsay), in con-
' cltieiou, announced thet at their next meeting Mr.
Oliphant would read a paper " On the Battle of tLe
Ingour, gained by Omar Pasha over the Russians."
