listen to the humbugging excuses for procrastination.
He should decide on the exact extent of the satisfac-
tion he requires, and firmly insist thereon, without
permitting any change or alteration whatever.

ELIYIU BuRRIT'S project of an Ocean Penny Post-
age will be all the more rapidly and readily realised
according to the spread of the submarine system of
electric telegraph. It is merely a question of time
when the Ocean Penny Postage shall be one of our
actual institutions. Come the day inevitably will—
we are hastening towards it perceptibly—our advance
being appreciable even now by a momentary glance
at what is, and at what has been, in the matter of this
particular branch of our expenditure. An ordinary
letter, for example, may be conveyed at the cost of
sixpence, via Southampton, along the whole of the
oriental route to India, across the Mediterranean'
from Gibraltar (calling at Marseilles) to Alexandria,
across the desert at Suez, along the entire length of
the Red Sea, onward, the whole distance to Calcutta.
And all this, remember, a mere sixpenny commu-
nication—when not so very long ago a letter
would have been charged ninepence if con-
veyed from Bath to London in the mail bags
in the hind boot of one of those wonderful old red
coaches, with the red guard, and the red charioteer,
and the smoking (relays, team after team, of well-
groomed horses, bowling along the brown level of
the highroad trailing and winding between green
hedgerows all the way from the extremity of Middle-
sex to the heart of Somersetshire. Because the
truth, here mentioned, is trite, it is none the less
worthy on that account of being thus explicitely
reiterated—now that the necessity is becoming every
day more and more apparent, that the facilities of
intercommunication between ourselves and our re-
mote possessions must sooner or later be subjected
to a wise, a comprehensive, and an economical reor-
ganisation. The submarine electric telegraph,
we repeat, must hasten the otherwise inevitable
event of this Postal reorganisation. It obvi-
ously stands to reason that with intercourse, direct,
positive, verbal, written intercourse established be-
tween the extremities of the world, along the depths
of a gigantic ocean like the Atlantic, bringing to-
gether, in the throb of a pendulum, the new world
and the old, Valentin and Newfoundland—the previous
sluggish channel of communication will be so far
deteriorated in value and importance that it will ap-
pear more than ever slow, tedious, and, under the
circumstances, almost, one might say, exasperating.
The extension of our maritime steam resources again
will come in aid of the growth of the more extended
and complicated webwork of submarine cables thread-
ing hither and thither the abysses of the deep sea.
An oceanic penny postage is in these respects already
virtually un fait accompli. It will be the corollary
of the steam engine as applied to the purposes of
marine locomotion, and of the electric telegraph as
worked through thousands and thousands of miles
of submarine cable. Insomuch do we regard this
advancement as one that must be—by a necessity no
less inevitable than that by which a pear, when it is
ripe, must fall in obedience to the laws of gravita-
tion—that we conceive that not one more effort in
his humane agitation need be made towards the
furtherance of his cherished scheme by the accom-
plished American Blacksmith.
Yesterday another stride in the right direction—
another step towards the attainment of the golden
goal of the Ocean Penny Postage as an established
fact, was incidentally referred to by ourselves in the
course of our editarial observations in allusion to a
certain remarkable petition preparing for presenta-
tion to her MAJESTY'S Secretary of State for the
Colonial Department. It has allusion to the
mismanagement hitherto of our postal communica-
tion with Australis. The immediate and unhesitat-
ing abrogation of the old bungling contract for the
conveyance of the mails between England and Aus-
tralia was, if we remember rightly, the first act of
any importance adventured upon by the right hon.
baronet upon his accepting the seals as her MA-
JESTY'S Secretary for the Colonies. It was a bold
easure which Lord STANLEY had scarcely had time
``" think of, and upon which Mr. LA.BOUCHERE had
...
fiver seriously for an instant dreamt of adventur-
ing. The new Colonial Secretary, however, was
I scarcely gazetted, when by a word, by a stroke of the
pen, the thing was done. It is the way of the Derby-
ites. They don't talk about reform—they reform.
They don't content themselves with moodily pro
mising to take a grievance loudly complained o
some time or another into their consideration-

they take it into their consideration. That, in
effect, is the very simple reason why the
radical reformers, the ultra-liberals —in the
House, Messrs. BRIGHT and ROEBUCK, out of the
House, let us say the Daily News and ourselves—
have taken kindly to these statesmen ; have accepted
as one of the best Governments that well could be
under the circumstances, this energetic and patriotic
this really laborious and conscientious and painstak-
ing DEBBY Administration.
And so—according to ministerial custom now-a-
days—there was an end very speedily to the
obstructive contract in regard to our postal
service with Australia. A memorial is now
accumulating signatures in the city—a me-
morial intended to bring directly under the
personal observation of the Colonial Secretary the
enormous advantages almost certain to accrue, both
to the mother country and to the colony, from the
organisation of a double route (westwards as well

eastwards) to our Australian possessions. The peti-
tioners very reasonably suggest that the mail thence
and thither, to and fro, ought, in reason and
prudence, to be regular and fortnightly. They
then go on to expatiate upon the facilitation it would
be to the intercourse with our antipodes, if—besides
maintaining the rapid intercourse with the southern
and western colonies of the Australian group
by continuing the route viii Suez—we further
secured the interests of the northern and
eastern colonies by establishing another and
very different route, one via the Isthmus of Panama.
The two routes, of course, being used alternately—
just as the Indian mails leave this country now for
Bombay, now for Calcutta. The project appears,
upon the first blush, to be both rational and feasible.
We entertain very little doubt that it will secure to
itself the instant and serious attention of her
MAJESTY'S Colonial Secretary.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Agra. 13.

The labours of the Plenipotentiaries of the Paris
Conferences will for the moment close without set-
tling the laws for the navigation of the Danube.
Varied interests have created conflicting opinions as
to the police arrangements. Each State through
which the great stream flows wishes to preserve its
police authority. Turkey and Austria appear to
favour these claims, and thus differences of opinion
on this question have to be settled at some future
union of the Plenipotentaries. The organisation of
the Danubian Principalities, as agreed to by the
Envoys of the great Powers, is not likely to give
universal satisfaction amongst the Roumans. The
fact is, by calling on the people to express an opinion
on their form of government, diplomacy raised a
hydra-headed diplomatic monster difficult to get rid
of. During the_ negotiations for the Principalities
Lord Cowley has rendered great service to Fund
Pacha, and has given him his support when the in-
tegrity of Turkey or her legitimate influence and
rights were debated. I should presume the Queen's
present Government has followed the policy laid
down by Lord Palmerston's Cabinet during the con-
ferences.

OfEcial despatches have reached Paris from Con-
stantinople, informing the Turkish Ambassador that
the Government of the Sultan is seriously and deter-
minedly occupied in creating financial reforms. His
Highness the Sultan has agreed to suspend his
palace-building expenses and those of the household
generally. Tranquillity again prevails throughout
the Turkish empire.
I have received the following :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 4.

" The greatest anxiety reigns to learn that the punish-
ment shall be commensurate with the aggravated character
of the crime committed at Djedda. There are many who
would have the town destroyed by the naval forces of those
nations which have been insulted; but the most reasonable
men :among those whose bug intercourse with Mahomedans
renders their opinion the most valuable, consider that such
a step would rouse at once the fanatical spirit throughout
Mussulman countries, the effect of which would be most
lamentably serious. The chastisement must be inflicted by
the Turkish Government, but it is the duty of England and
France to see that it is strictly carried out, and not in pro-
mise only, as is invariably the case when the Ottomans are
left to themselves.

"The French press advocates an armed occupation of
Turkey, to give effect to the Hatti-humayom ; and, without
such assistance 'to enforce its execution, it will ever remain
a dead letter. We are too apt to take it for granted that
England and France must have conflicting interests in any
proposition that proceeds from either separately ; but the
result of establishing the rights of Christians firmly In this
country would be to induce a population, the chief ingre-
dient of which would be the energetic Anglo-Saxon, with
the valuable addition of Germans and Swiss, which for a cen-
tury to come csuld have no Interests opposed to our own,
which would create the most enduring barrier against
foreign aggression, and develope the resources of the fertile
plains of Asia Minor, becatning good customers for our
manufactut es, and producers of vast supplies for European
consumption.

"The state of exchanges appears to have passed a crisis.
There has been a combination of merchants and bankers to
afford a temporary relief, on the stipulation that the Sul-
tan's treasury shall issue no more paper money. The sum
proposed to be raised is £BOO,OOO in bills on Paris, London,
&c., and the chief part of that sum is already subscribed.
It has caused the pound sterlinz, which had reached 187
piastres, to fall this e%ening to 175.

"The differences between Persia and the Ottoman Porte
are in the course of immediate adjustment. The Sultan
sailed for 13rousta to• day in a screw line-of-battle ship.
" Mons. Lesseps went yesterday to Odessa is assist in the
establishment of a Chamber of Commerce. A clever Turk
facetiously remarked that he intends to pierce the Isthmus
of Perekop, as it is absolutely necessary for his happine
hat he should cut a canal somewhere."

PARIS BOURSE.—The situation of the Bank of
France, published this morning, does not show a
decided improvement in affairs, and it has produced
an unfavourable feeling in the market. Threes,

The rumour must certainly be a cabalistic fabri-
cation ; and no doubt Sir Gaspard has already ex-
perienced a little of the usual deception practised in
Malta to enable him to treat such things as they
deserve. I believe that a strong party of officials
are opposed to the energetic measures and vigilant
watch of our new governor ; but they must ulti-
mately succumb, and their notorious laxity and
indifference to the discharge of their public duties
be changed to energy and attachment to duty. The
first good step taken by Sir Gaspard was to put all
the public departments in proper working order, and
this, of course, is distasteful to many officials. Hence
some opposition.

The Acting Chief Secretary to Government
Capt. Brett, A.D.C., is discharging the duties of
that office with the greatest credit to himself, and
satisfaction to the public. His exact knowledge of
public affairs, and ready discernment of what is just
and necessary, as well as his courtesy, have already
earned him great respect and esteem here.
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Panther,
with London mail of 2d inst., arrived last evening.
The Colombo is expected to-day from Alexandria
with the mails from Calcutta and China. The
Euxine will convey the overland portion of the
mails to Marseilles.

A quarantine of 15 days has been established in
Malta on all arrivals from Tripoli, and 21 days on
those from Bengazi, where, it is reported, the plague
is raging. Malta is at present in free pratique with
Corfu, in consequence of the precautionary measures
taken here. I understand that a quarantine of eight
days is fixed at Marseilles on artivals from Malta.
Admiral Fanshawe's fleet is still cruising off the
island. Her Majesty's gunboat Coquette has arrived
from Corfu. The Vigilant has been despatched to
Suda Bay, in Candia, to relieve her Majesty's steam
frigate Vulture.

arrived and left during the week, viz. :—General

AUGUST 11

MALTA.

At 8 o'clock the Col. de Moerkerke, Master of the
Horse to the King of the Belgians, and Gen. Chassal,
one of his Majesty's aides-de-camp, came on board
to report to her Majesty the arrangements made by
the King, and to attend upon her Majesty. Lord
Howard de Walden, her Majesty's Minister at the
Court of Brussels ; and Mr. Grattan, the British
Consul, likewise paid their respects to her Majesty.
At a quarter before 10 o'clock the Queen and
Prince Comort landed in the State barge of his
Majesty the King of the Belgians at the Quai, where
the royal carriages were in attendance, and conveyed
his Royal Highness, and suite to the
shteartiAolnajsty,
oefth
the Brussels and Cologne Railway. In
attendance were Lady Macdonald, Lady in Waiting;
the Hon. Caroline Cavendish, Maid of Honour; the
Earl of Malinesbury, Secretary of State ; Col. de
Moerkerke and Gen. Cbassal, of the Household of
the King of the Belgians ; Col. the Hon. A. N. Hood
and Capt. Du Plat, Equerries in Waiting; Col. the
lion. Sir C. Phipps, K.C.8., and Sir James Clark.
At Malines his Majesty the King of the Belgians,
with their Royal and Imperial Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of Brabant, received her Majesty, and
accompanied her to Verviers, where they took their
leave.

Upon arriving at Aix-la-Chapelle her Majesty
and the Prince were met by his Royal Highness the
Prince of Prussia and a numerous and brilliant staff.
His Royal Highness proceeded with her Majesty
from Aix-la-Chapelle to Dusseldorf, at which sta-
tion the Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern- Sigma-
ringen were in waiting to receive the Queen.
The carriages of the Prince of Hohenzollern were
in attendance, and conveyed her Majesty the Queen,
the Princess of Hohenzollern - Sigtnaringen, the
Prince Consort, and the Prince of Prussia, and the
Ladies and Gentlemen in attendance to the Breiten-
bach Hof.

The Prince of Hohenzollern escorted her Majesty
on horseback. The town was spontaneously and
beautifully decorated by the inhabitants, and her
Majesty was received everywhere with the loudest
acclamations.

The Queen and Prince Consort will dine this
evening with the Prince and Princess of Hohenzol-
lern-Sigmaringen.

POTSDAM, AUG. 12.
The Queen and Prince Consort arrived here ai
10 o'clock this evening, all well.

VALETTA, AUG. 7.

Advices received from Canca, to the 27th ult.,
state that order and tranquillity had finally been
restored at Canea. The Turks were returning to
their country habitations, and a subscription had
been publicly opened, with much success, in relief of
those who had suffered most during the disturbed
state of the country. Mehmet Emin Pacha, a com-
missioner of the Sublime Porte, had arrived to re-
lieve Ahmet Pacha, whose removal has disappointed
the French party in Candia. Mr. Longworth and
Mr. Ricketts, who it seems are sent out by the Eng-
lish Government on a special mission relative to re-
cent events in Candia, have reached Canea. The
English Consul of that island left for Constantinople,
being called by our Ambassador there. The Go-
vernment have despatched troops to all the provin-
cial places. Matters in the town of Candia are,
however, still in an unsettled state. A Turk killed
a Greek at Rettimo, and the Greek population was
consequently thrown into the utmost consternation.
Mehmet Emin Pacha intended leaving Canea for
Candia. Her Majesty's steam frigate Vulture was
stationed at Suda. The Greek Consul returned to the
city on the 26th. Mr. Zimelli, the Superintendent of
Public Works in Malta, has returned from London
and Paris, whither he was sent by Government to
collect information for constructing a new market in
Valetta. The design of the proposed building is an
excellent one, and its execution being left in good
hands, will no doubt be perfect. The present site of
the market is made the most of in the new plan,
as the intention is to construct it of stone and iron,
which will do away with many of the bulky stone
obstructions in the present market.
The Malta Times says :--
"If we are tojudge by the reports current in town, and
the movements of influential persons, as well connected
with as opposed to the present Bishop of Malta (Monsignor
Pace Forno), the eccles;aetical horizon forebodes a storm.
We observe the departure of Monsignor Casolani, the Bishop;
of Muricaitro, for Marseilles, en route for Paris and Lon-
don, also Mrs. M'Donnell; and on the same day, that o
the Rev. S. Cumbo, secretary of Monsignor Pace Forno,
for Rome, bearer of important clerical despatches to the
Holy See, for which destination a relative of the bishop
(the Rev. Gauci Azopardi) took his departure shortly pre-
suporfs
ions. Mr. R. Messina and Mr. E. Zammitt, merchants,
supporters of

THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE,
SANDH URST.

EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES.
The following is the result of the examination of candi-
dates for the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, held by
the Council of Military Education at King's College, dur-
ing the first week in July.

Fifty vacancies having been announced as open to com-
petition, 59 candidates appeared for examination, and 49
passed, one of whom, however, was rejected for a breach of
the regulations, and one on the report of the medical officer.
To fill two of the three remaining vacancies, the two
gentlemen next on the list were specially recommended by
the council, having passed a good general examination,
although they were deficient in matkematics.

The obligatory subjects and the general total of marks to
be obtained for qualification were reduced, in conformity
with the modification recently made in the requirements
for direct commissions, and were as follow :—Mathernaties3,
obligatory section, 400 marks; the English Language, 200
marks; general total, 1,800 marks. •
