M 1 GLIDSTONEsS RETRENCHMENTS.

The Express considers that the abolition of the Commis.
donership of Inland Revenue, made vacant by the death
a Mr. James Disraeli, indicates the line in Civil Service
reform about to be taken by the Government. " These
commissionerships are among the few good things left. A
salary of twelve hundred pounds a year, together with
duties which are not excessive, and the power of
doing practically what you like, is no bad reward
for political or personal service. Accordingly, few ap
pointments have been more coveted, and though it
has been long rumoured that sweeping changes have
been in contemplation in connection with the
revenue departments, the news published this
morning Is the first earnest of what will surely come.
The Revenue Department, its consolidation and efficiency,
will be one of Mr. Gladstone's first cares, and it is far
from unlikely that the abolition of Mr. James Disraeli's
commissionership may foreshadow a single chiefship in
place of the present board."

Ha3ART PASIL4. A 27) THE GRic/;•K
BLOCKADE-RUNNER.

The Levant Herald of the 18th gives the following par-
ticulars of the combat between the Izzedin, Turkish
war - ship, and the Enosis :—" On the morning of
the 14th of December the Enosis was pursued by the
Izzedin into the waters of Aspronissi, three miles
from Syra. The Izzedin fired, it is said, a blank
cartridge, to which the Enosis replied by a shot
which damaged the paddle of the Turkish steamer.
The latter then asked for help from the admiral's frigate,
which was in view. Hobart Pasha then approached
and opened fire on the Eucsis, which replied with
shell, smashing the frigate's boats and doing other injury.
This done, she entered the port of Syra. Hobart Pasha
followed with his frigate and the Izzedin. As soon as he
anchored, he demanded that a tribunal, of which
the foreign consuls should form part, should pronounce
as to whether the Enosis had not committed an act of
piracy in firing on a ship of war, and if she and the Crete
should not be given over to the Turkish authorities. The
Nomarch answered that he had no instructions; he then
went on board the Turkish frigate, accompanied by two
consuls, and examined the damage done by the shell of the
Enosis. At the same time he sent off the Panhellinion to
the Piraeus, and on her arrival the Greek Government
at once despatched the Hellas with 1,300 troops on
board. On the arrival of the Greek frigate her com-
mander summoned Hobart Pasha to clear out, and the
latter being also without instructions,' obeyed, and went
to sea.

THE ALLEGED MURDER .AT BARNSBU.RY.

At the inquiry held by Dr. Lankester on the body of
John Moir, who had been, as alleged, shot by a riffe at 42,
Alfred-street, l3ansbury, James Moir, the brother of the
deceased, was the first witness, and having detailed the
circumstances of the gathering of the party—which num-
bered nineteen persons— on Christmas night, said that
in the course of the evening the prisoner seemed disposed
to quarrel with some one. After detailing the circumstances
of the murder, witness continued : My brother went down
in his holidays to where Campbell's friends live, at Lays.
That was in September. My brother called on the prisoner's
friends, and to his (my brother's) surprise, he said he
should elme up to London. He came up accordingly, and
has been living in our house ever since. We were very friendly
about a fortnight since, when I went into the country to
a job at Weybridge, and I was away three days. When I
came back he told Inc he had been out with my brother
and met two friends, but after parting with them they—
my brother and the prisoner—made up to two glrls, with
whom they went somewhere. On the next day Campbell
enlisted. When we went to bed I had some conversa-
tion with the prisoner. Before that my mother
had come into the room and saw the stopper
of my rifle on the mantel-shelf. My mother picked
up the stopper, and said the prisoner had had the
rifle down twice. I spoke to him about his being so foolish
as to enlist. He said, " I can't go back home now as I
left; to which I replied. " How is that ? What have you
done?" He then said, "You won't know now, but you
will know in time." I then said to him, " What is all
this ? l've done nothing to cause you to go and enlist.
Your having been unfortunate is nothing ; you can't
expect to get on all at once." He then said, "It isn't
that, you know, Jem. I was engaged to a girl to get
married to her next summer, and I've been out, when wo
met two friends and got drinking. We took a little drop
too much, and got hold of two girls." I ought to say he
had some very odd idea of meeting his sweethearts
in heaven.—The Coroner said he proposed to write to the
Home Secretary so that thn accused might be brought
before them. He always thought that if a man was
accused he ought to have an opportunityof hearing what
was said against him. (The Jury : " Hear, hear.") He
(the coroner) therefore proposed to adjourn the inquiry
after taking the medical evidence. He (Dr. Lankester)
did not know what view Mr. Bruce might take of the
watl;er, but he would ask the question. The jury would
remember that in the case of Miller the Home Secretary
of that day allowed the accused to be taken before Mr.
Humphreys, and it was not until Mr. Gathorne Hardy
took office that accused persons were denied the right to
which he thought they were entitled. (The Jury : " Hear,
hear. Certainly.")

After the medical evidence had been taken the inquiry
was adjourned. The prisoner will be brought before the
police magistrate on Friday.
