a positive aPP°lntment' which seemed to be a
distinction without a difference. The party re-
commended would, in every instance, receive the
appointment. There would scarcely be a single
instance where the recommendation would not be
acted on, and then only on adequate grounds.
The majority were satisfied with the high
tribute paid to the competitive principle
by the Right Honourable Gentleman and
the Noble Lord. The former said,—
" I trust the House will, therefore, consent to
the amendment which the Lords have proposed to
the 34th clause ; and I can only say, on the part
of the Government, that in making that recom-
mendation we do it with the full and frank inten-
tion of establishing, with respect to the scientific
branches, that wise and beneficial competition
which will prevail in the civil service of India.
It will be one of the first duties of my Noble
Friend, if the House accedes to this proposition,
to draw up regulations which will rule the exami-
nations in question, and which, when approved by
h,er MAJESTY in Council, will be laid on the table of
the House. They will then be open to the
critiejam and vigilance of the house, and when-
ever any alterations are made they will likewise
be annoum,ed to the House. We shall then have
the satiafacti:u: of having establkled the competi-
tive principle by Act of Parliament throughout
the whole civil .ctervice of India ; of having se-
cured to the great body of the community the
free enjoyment of military patronage, by its dis-
tribution through a Council sympathising with
them ; and of having at the same time secured
the competitive principle evon in the scientifie
branches of the army, and that in a manner
which no one can say has attazlked or weakened
any prerogative or right of any person in this
country, from the Sovereign on her throne' to
the humblest of her subjects."
The President of the India Board spoke in a
similar tone, and the House eventually adopted
the amendment by a majority of 45 ; thus ter-
minating all disputes, and giving the legislative
sanction to that which has truly been desCribed
as an act for the better Government of India.

About 80,0001. in American gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday, and should fresh arrivals soon
be announced, the bullion will be further aug-
mented, because the amount required for export is
very limited.
Money, although it, is in rather more request,
continues easy and abundant. The terms are '
without the slightest alteration.
The directors of the London Discount Company
have issued their half-yearly report, front which
the following is an extract :—The net profit after
the payment of current expenses, making ample
provision for loss on overdue bills, and allowing
for the rebate of interest upon bills not matured,
amounts to 10,8741. 7s. 6d. With so favourable a
result the directors have deemed it advisable to
write off the balance of preliminary expenses,
amounting to 3,0001., thus leaving an available
surplus of 7,8741. 7s. 63. This sum enables the
directors to recommend a dividend for the past
half-year at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free
of income tax, which will amount to 4,5481.145. 2d.,
leaving a balance of 3,3251. 13s. 2d. to be carried
to the next half-yearly account. The directors
recommend an addition of two to their present
number, to be elected by the shareholders at this

Great dissatisfaction has been occasioned in
mercantile circles at the clause to which we
alluded in our leading columns of Thursday, and
which practically deprives the much-required
measure of its utility. Notice has already been
given by Mr. NIOoLL that early next session he
will introduce a measure for the repeal of the ob-
noxious clause. Public opinion has already pro-
nounced an adverse judgment. A petition against
the objectionable provision received the signatures
of 600 leading London firms within two days.
The banking interest should consider the matter
closely before they oppose themselves to the wishes
of their customers, and neutralise the value of a
law calculated to exhibit the advantages of keeping
" drawing accounts" in the strongest light, by
affording complete protection to the drawers and
recipients of crossed cheques. It would not be
judicious to quarrel with those through whom
they realise large profits, and they may rest
assured that a decided preference will be given to
bankers who announce the intention of not
availing themselves of the loophole afforded for
evading a fair and just responsibility.
That such pledges will be offered seems certain.
It may be given with almost perfect security by
resorting to the precautions advocated in The Sun
of Thursday. A very trifling additional outlay
would provide a superior class of paper, from
which the crossing could not be erased without
leaving such marks as would at once be
detected by any clerk of or iinary abilities.

DENMARK.
A letter from Oopeuhagen of the 25th says :
" M. Krieger, the Dew Minister of Finance, will for
the future concentro:•te in his hands all the financial
affairs of Denmark, Schleswig, and the Duchies
of Holstein and Lauen burg, each of which is to
contribute according to its respective population,
to the genet al expenses of the monarchy, that is, the
army, navy, civil list, and allowances to members
of the Royal Family. As the States of the two
duchies have hitherto objected to contributing to
the civil list, and to the allowances to the Royal
Family, it is hoped in Denmark that they will not
raise any opposition. The recent ministerial
modification which has taken place here is regarded
as a new step in the path of conciliation with the
Germanic Confederation, and as certain to simplify
greatly the relations between the administration
of Denmark and the G,rman Duchies. It is now
the duty of Germany to respond to the spirit of
conciliation displayed by Denmark, who cannot go
farther without sacrificing her dignity as a free and
independent State."

JEDDAH.
A letter from Constantinople of the 21st, in the
Gazette dtt Midi, says :—" The Porte, on hearing
of the Jeddah massacre, at once perceived the
necessity of acting with vigour, and it hastened to
intimate its intention to the English and French
ambassadors. Ism ril Pacba, general of brigade,
verso distinguished himself in the campaign on the
Danube, during the late war, is the person
who was appointed commissioner extraordinary.
Re left for Jeddah three days ago on
board the steamer Teard. He is inivructed
to proclaim martial law, to place the town
in a state of siege, and to punish the guilty
with the greatest rigou. A contribution of money
will be imposed on the town, suffidently elevated
to indemnify the families of the persons killed, and
to make good the pecuniary losses of those who
escaped. The concentra ion of forces in Bosnia
and Herzegovina is not intended for the purpose
of making any fresh attack on Montenegro, but by
the determination of the Porte to put down one
for all the petty Turkish chiefs who are so implac-
able in their hatred of Christians. The firm and
frank language of Kiani Pacha to the assembly of
Turkish and Christian leaders, held at '1 rebignen,
sufficiently proves the views of the Porte, as on
that occasion the menaces were addressed to the
Turks and the promi-es to the Christians."

Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton

and a fair amount of business was transacted, at
about former rates. The sales amounted to 8,000

and for export.

The English Stock Market has been active to-day,
and a further advance of about 4 per cent. has
taken place in prices. Purchases both real and
speculative are on the increase, and hence the
general buoyancy now apparent. The Bank return
and the favourable state of the weather are also
strongly in favour of prices. Consols have
been 96k ± for money and. the sth proximo.

I The best course would, however, be to
issue books containing blank cheques on
different coloured paper ; one class whereof
should only be used for crossed, and the other for
open cheques, and the crossing of the former should
be prepared on the original document, so that it
could not possibly be obliterated. The giver or
receiver of ono intended to be paid across the
counter could not object to bear the responsibility
he deliberately accepted. But the bankers should
give ample protection to all who wished to
avail themselves thereof.

It would even be for their advantage to do so

in a pecuniary point of view. It would econo-
mise the use of money, and render it unneces-
sary to keep such large balances of cash on
hand. The great majority of cheques—
all, indeed, of large amount—would be
paid through the clearing house, and none
are better able to form a sound judgment as to the
beneficial effect that would follow the general,
and all but universaladoption of such a course. We
trust that such energy may be displayed by mer-
cantile men during the recess as to render certain
the success of the important principle, and ensure
the removal of a clause that renders what would
otherwise be a very useful measure of compara-
tively little value.

Subcriptions have been invited from all persons
terreeed in the Australian Colonies to purche,se a flock
of 23 alnacas now in London, which may be obtained
fur 1,000/. It is proposed to present them to the
colony of Victoria. Hitherto the efforts to obtain these
animals have been defeated by the jealou,y by which
the Peruvian Government have prohibited their exporta-
tion. The present flock were driven overland from that
country at colisiderat.le risk across the continent of
South America, by the Isthmus of Panama, to Aspin-
wall. Messrs. Westv,arth, Wilson, and Sargood con-
stitute the committee, and Mr. J. B. Tootal acts as
honorary Secretary.

nity offers, &c., &c.—James Shorland, late Surgeon, 96th
