of eight years' actual service, except under Rule VIII.
V. Furlough shall not be repeated until three years from

VI. The maximum term of furlough to ho taken at-any
one time shall be two years.
VII. Except as hereinafter provided, an officer when on
furlough shall retain a lien on his substantive appoint-
ment, or ou an appointment of similar character and not

of 50 per cent. of his average salary for the previous three
years, or for the period which has elapsed since his last
return from long furlough, or long extraordinary leave, if
that period be less than three years.
In calculating such average, the time spent and the
allowances drawn under any leave, excepting privilege
leave under Chapter 11., shall be omitted.
Provided that no officer on furlough shall draw more
than £1,200 or less than £3OO per annum.
VIII. Under Medical Certificate

his station and the commencement of furlough, and be-
t weep the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his
station, an officer shall bo allowed subsidiary leave not

ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This mqthod does not require the
extraction of roots, or auy painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-

RV. 11, owing to the exigencies of the service, it may
be necessary to place any limit on the number of officers
who may be absent ou furlough at the same time, applica-
tions not supported by medical certificate will be granted
in the following order:—

The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of
furlough remains under Ride 111. shall have the preference.
If two or more applicants are on an equality in this
respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant,
whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the
case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary
leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India,
and iu the case of an'ofacer who has taken long extraor-
dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last
return from such leave or furlough.
If two or more applicants are equal in both respects,
the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada-
tion List.

XVI. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall
be 21 years, but no leave except privilege leave and sub-
sidiary leave, shall count as residence.

CHAPTER It.
PRIVILEGE LEAVE.
XVIII. Subject to the exigencies of the State, an officer
who has completed eleven months' continuous duty may
take privilege leave for one month without deduction from
his salary, retaining a lien on his appointment, whether
substantive or officiating. Provided that, in the case of
his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his
acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by
the officer to whom the substantive appointment belongs.
XIX. In the same manner, and under the same condi-
tions, two or three months'
privilege leave may be taken
when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty-
two or twenty-three months respectively.
XX. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local
Government, be taken in separate instalments. No second
instalment shall be taken until after the completion of six
months' continuous duty from the expiry of the first in-
stalment. In this case the eleven months qualifying for
fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from the expiry of
the first instalment, the period of the second instalinept
being omitted from the calculation.
Provided that the whole privilege leave taken at any
one time shall not exceed three months, and that no
accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall
be admitted.
XXI. If an officer shall over-stay his privilege leave, he
shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so
absent ; and, if he shall so continue ab.ent for more than
one week, his office shall become vacant.
XXII. Privilege leave shall be reckoned as residence
and service.

CHAPTER 111.
SPECIAL LEAVE•
XXIII. Special leave, on urgent private affairs, may be
granted at the discretion of the local Government for a
period not exceeding six months. In respect of retention
of a lieu on appointment, of allowances drawn during the
leave, and of subsidiary leave, the conditions of special
leave shall be the same as those prescribed for furlough.
Special leave shall not be reckoned as residence.
XXIV. Rule XXI. shall, tuutatis mutandis, apply to an
officer overstaying special leave.
XXV. Special leave may be repeated without allow-
ances after intervals of at least six years' actual service.
CHAPTER IV.
GENERAL.

XXVI. Furlough, privilege, leave, and special leave
shall not be taken as such in continuation of each other;
but, if an officer absent on one of these classes of leave bo
allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his
absence be held to be under the class of leave for
which it was changed.
XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will
b 3 no restriction as to the places where an officer may
reside when on leave.
XXVIII. Leave allowance shall be payable monthly, if
payment is taken in India, and quarterly if payment is
taken in England.
CRAPTER V.
TEMPORARY RULES,
XXIX. Whatever aggregate amount, out of the three
years' furlough and three years' sick leave, under the
Rules until now in force, at present remains to be taken by
an officer under the said Rules, shall remain to be taken by
him under Rules now promulgated.
XXX. Any officer now in the service shall, when next
proceeding on furlough, elect whether he will draw allow-
ances at the higher minimum rate of £5OO per annum (not
exceeding his total salary at the time). If he shall so
elect, he will, in any future furlough, be limited, as to
allowance, to tho lower maximum rate of £l. 000 per
annum.
XXXI. Any officer now absent on leave, who has no
appointment, may, on his return, and until he again holds
an appointment carrying equal pay to that of the substan-
tive appointment which be last held, draw the subsistence
allowance of his rank, together with 75 per cent. of the
pay of any appointment in which lie shall officiate. Pro-
vided that the total salary so drawn by him shall not ex-
ceed the pay of the appointment in which he is officiating.
This Rule shall apply to any officer who may have already
returned from furlough.
XXXII. Any officer now absent on furlough, or under
medical certificate, may elect whether the remainder of his
leave shall be taken under these Rules from the date of
theirpromulgation. If he shall so elect, Rule XXX. shall
not apply to him.
RULES REGARDING ACTING ALLOWANCES.
I. An officer holding a substantive appointment, and
officiating in an appointment of a higher grade or class,
shall draw acting allowance calculated at 80 per cent. on

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, A UGUST 1, 1868.

the first 2,000 rs., and 20 per ceht. on the remainder of the
pay of the appointment in which he is officiating.
Provided that, if the acting allowance so calculated do
not amount to two-thirds of the difference between the
pay of the two appointam's, it shall be raised to two-
thirds.

Provided further, that in no case shall the whole salary
so drawn exceed the p•ay of the appointment in which the
officer is officiatino..
IL. An officer holding no substantive, but only an offi-
ciatin; appointment, shall, subje;it to the provisoes in
Rule 1., draw, in addition to the subsistence allowance o

ances be calcul ►ted on the mean pay of the said
appointmenn►, provided that CI) whole salary so drawn
shall not exceed the mininram pay of the said appoint-

whit, as they would be held responsible for the genuine-
ness of the certificates. The New York Evening Post esti-
mates that the whole amount of the depression of shares
which resulted from.the terror this excited amounted, at
the lowest quotations made, to about $10,000,000. The
amount of certificates altered were rising a thousand, and
were severally ou the Cleveland and Pittsburg, Michigan
Central, New York Central, Erie, 'Rock island, Fort
Wayne, and racilic Mail. Throe huudr ,1 shares in
Fort Wayne were admitted to re-transfer on the Looks
before the forgery was discovered. The loss, ti.ere-
fore, falls on the company. in other cases brokers
an I innocent bayors were bitten indiserim;nately, and
there was a very interesting three or four days while
every man in the city who held certificates of may kind
was investigating the rather important question wheth
any or all of it was fraudulent. The v llainy finally took
much smaller dimensions than was at first supposed, but
not until it had most irrationally driven back the whole
line of stocks. A sirong attack was ma to on Now York
Central, and it was forced down to 134. It had previ-
ously fallen•several per cent. on the announcement that
the only dividend to be made at present was one of four
per cent. cash, without a scrip dividend in addition, as had
been expected. This event was the more marked, because
it came upon a railway market buoyant and advancing. It
has shown the insufficiency of existing precautions, and
it will set the whole community of brokers at work devising
new means of s-curity.
Cotton closes for the week a Hale lower. Such a fact
is of course worth a great deal more than anybo ly's con-
jecture or any amount of reasoning on the subject; but it
is difficult to see how the decline can be permanent. If
there is any virtue in the proportion between supply and
demand cotton must recover. The most favourable cal-
culations of the coming crop do not bring the supply up
to the figures of last year, and the demand for consump-
tion cannot be affected unless by a general decline in
values. It is noticeable, however, that the prices of the
material and of the manufactured goods, which have
been apart for some' Weeka,---11(crov drawing together.
While cotton has declined within two .or three days,
staple cotton goods of all descriptions have shown an up-
ward tendency, and the week closes firm along the whole
line, though as yet without any considerable advance in
prices. Brown sheetings are half a cent bettor than last
week, and the finer shirtings are as much higher. In
prints the old stock has been pretty much worked off, and
the market shows considerable activity. The wool market
is strong, but without much activity. The new clip comes
in slowly, particularly at the West, where wheat and hay
are being harvested. The supply has been pretty
thoroughly but quietly searched out, and the groat
bulk of the crop has already been taken on the
orders of the manufacturers. The season for woollens
has not fairly begun, and not much can be said of
the market. The coarser class of fabrics are in de-
mand for coatings and cloakings. Fine cloths are not
sought for as yet. Tho importations of foreign dry goods
continue greatly under the figures of 1867. The decline
in breadstuffs continues. The figures reached are already
very low, but nothing indicates that the movement is yet
checked. Wheat is from 30e. to 40c. a bushel lower than
two months ago, and all grades of flour from $2 to $3
a barrel. The encouraging reports of the crops forbid
any expectations of a return to previous prices. When
the grain of 1868 is fully harvested and poured on the
market, a still further reduction is' likely to take place
Provisions are higher in every direction. Pork has ad-
vanced 50c. to 75c. a barrel, and lard from 50c. to $1 per
1001 b. The demand is mainly speculative, as the call for
consumption is as yet very slight. The advance, however,
seems to have been well taken and likely to be sustained.

their daily bread and whisky, and are straggling in armed
bands through the iron districts, forcing orderly and pro-
vident labourers to desist from work, closing up mills and
iron furnaces, and in many cases compelling the furnace
man and the puddler to lot the iron chill in the furnace.
hlilitaty force, cold stee,l and hot bullets are the only
remedy for these wretches. They will not permit the
transportation of coal, and are stopping all induatrial
pursuits."
