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

In calculating such average, the time spent and the
allowances drawn under any leave, excepting privilege

conditions, without reference to the amount at credit under
Rule IIL

the last return from long extraordinary leave or long fur-
lough. When on fnrlcugh under this clause an officer
will not retain a lien on his appointment, and will be en-
titled only to subsistence allowance, unless he has com-
pleted six months actual service since his last return from
long extraordinary leave or long furlough, and there re-
main some leave to his credit under Rule 111., in which

tion of the furlough will be determined by the above Rules,
according as the furlough begins or ends in or out of
India.
XI. For the interval elapsing between departure from
his station and the commencement of furlough, and be-
tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his
station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave not
ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days. During
those periods his allowances: will be calculated in the same

who may be absent on furlough at the same time, applica-
tions not supported by medical certificate will be granted
in the following order:--
. .

The applictiiit to whoso credit the greatest amount of
furlough remains under Rule 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 offieer who has not taken long extraordinary
leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India,
and in the case of an officer 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, exeept privilege leave and sub-
sidiary leave' shall count as residence.

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.

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.

one time shall not exceed three months, and that no
accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall
be admitted.

absent; and, if he shall so continue ab- est for more than
one week, his office shall become vacant.

b 3 no restriction as to the places where an officer may
reside when on leave.

TEMPORARY RULES.
XXIX. Whatever

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, be will, in any future furlough, be limited, as to
allowance, to the lower maximum rate of XI, 000 per

allowance of his rank, together with 75 per cent. of the
pay of any appointment in which he 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

E An officer holding a substantive appointment, and
officiating in an appointment of a higher grade or class,
shall draw acting allowance calculated at 0 per cent. on

the -first 2,000 rs., and 20 percent. on thoreniainder of the
.pay of the -appoiutnient in which ha is officiating. _
Provided that, if the 'acting allow toes so calculated do
not amount to two-thirds of .the.difference between the
pay of the two appoiatm4u`s, it shall be raised to two-
thirds.

Provided further, that in no case shall the whole salary
so drawn exceed the pay of the appointment in which the
officer is officiating. - •

his rank, 50 per cont. of the pay of the appointment in
which he is officiating.
111. In the case of an officer officiating in an appoint-
ment the pay of which is progressive, his acting allow-

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

(From the Springfield Republican.)

FRIDAY EVENING, July 17.

Money continues everywhere easy, without any pre-
monitions of a change, or any discoverable reason for it.
The condition of the market at New York amounts to ab-
solute plethora, and even the slight improvement in rates
results as much from speculation engendered by this excess
as from any actual quickening of the demand for legitimate
business purposes. It will probably be found this year
that no such tremendous amount of money is required
to " move the crops" from the West, as it has been cus-
tomary to make allowance for. There was always a
groat deal of humbug about this cry. Moving the
crops has generally meant not moving them ; and cur-
rency has been wanted, not to carry them to market, but
to " carry " them for a rise. Every addition to its volume
has played i❑to the hands of speculators and monopolists,
and has defeated the natural movement of the crops. Is
isn't likely, however, that there will bamuch grain bought
up to hold over for the next three months, and we shall
probably find the demand from the West very moderate
which, considering that the bulk of grain to be moved is
uncommonly large, ought to be enough to convince any
man that the supposed necessity of a periodical expansion
of the circulating medium to meet the wants of trade is a
perfect delusion.

Gold has risen in a very marked manner during the
week, and though it does not quite hold up to its highest
figures at the close, it has made a very decided advance,
which there is every reason to believe it will make good.
The rise cannot justly be attributed to the manipulations
of the secretary, nor to the completion of the Alaska pur-
chase, but to the heavy and long continued drain of specie
in the past, the export for the year thus far having
been nearly double that of the same period of 1867. The
balance against this country is constantly increasing,
notwithstanding the reduction in the aggregate amount,
of imports. This indebtedness we are paying off in
specie, which is a legitimate product and export of the
United States, to be sure, but is not so to such an extent,
nor indeed at this tints at all. The absolute loss of gold
and silver to the country by export, above receipts, has
been 30 millions since January 1. This, it must be con-
fessed, does not look much like resuming specie payments.
Cash gold remains easy. Double eagles still continue in
demand for export, and bear a premium of 1 to 3-16 per
cont. Bills on London rale 1101 for 60 days and 1101
short sight.
Governments have profited by the rise in gold and by
the discredit attaching to railways from the discovery of
the Broad-street forgeries, and have made a decided ad-
vance during the week, on a large business done. In
London our bonds have not yet recovered from the evil
effects of the democratiz denunciations, and remain at their
lowest figures, nearly down to 72, whereas a week ago
they stood above 75 ; but at home the action of the Con-
vention has already ceased to affect the public confidence
in the national credit. The " manifest destiny" of the
democracy leaves no terror in their threats. It yet re-
mains to be seen how the funding bill will influence the
premium on the six per cents. At New York the im-
port duties for the week have been $4,363,244 against
$5,412,576 same week last year. The export clear-
ances of domestic produce, $2,452,598 against $3,075,579.
The export of specie, $3,947,891 against $4,659,935.
Since January 1, 1868, the gold values of import entries
at New York amount to $131,284,836 against $144,413,565
same period 1867 ; currency value of exports for the same
time, $90,941,760 against $102,352,598. Exports of
specie, $55,378,860 against $30,964,569. Deliveries of
Californiagold and silver, $23,295,754. against $14,793,540.
Customs receipts, $59,457,362 against $64,118,511. Gold
interest paid, $54,077,367 against $35,993,329.
*Wall and Broad-streets have had a decidedly unpleasant
panio in those sober and discreet localities. On Friday last
there were rumours that Certificates had been altered, which
grew on Saturday to certainty, and gave the whole line of
stocks "a turn," such as the holders will not soon forget.
The forgery was not a skilful one, and its success has ex-
posed the weakness of the present safeguards of this species
of property. A few weeks ago a new firm, " C. W. White
and C 0.," put out their shingle on Broad. street. Being mo-
dest, these new comers contented themselves with buying
in very small quantities, mostly Certificates, fir ono, two,
or five shares. This was every way commendable for
young dealers. But what followed does not call for such
unqualified praise. From over-eagerness to realise large
and immediate profits, C. W. White and Co., by a judicious
application of lemon juice and the judicious manipulation
of a pen, turned these all into certificates for ohe hundred
shares each, cashed them readily, put out a card that their
house was closed " on account of the death of Mr. White,"
who had indeed "gone to a better land," and left incone
tinently for elsewhere, with a hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in gold For a while on the first discovery of this
fraud, there was a general stampede in the arrest and at
the boards, and immense stocks were sacrificed from fear
that they might be affected, though foolishly enough, since
if so the transfers would not have helped the sellers 0

whit, as they-would be held responsible for thgenuine-
ness of the certifiates. •The Now York Eveni:ig Post esti-
mates that the whole amount :of the depresSioia orstiares
which resulted from the terror this excited amountA, at
the lowest quotations made, to about $10,000,000. The
amount of certificates altered ware rising a thousand, and
were severally on the Cleveland and Pittsburg, Michigan
Central, New York Central, Erie, Rock Island, Fort
Wayne, and Pacific Mail. Three hundred shares in
Fort Wayne were admitted to re-transfer on the books
before the forgery was discovered. The loss, there-
fore, falls on the company. In other' cases brokers
and innocent buyers were bitten indiscriminately, and
there was a vary interesting three or four days while
every man in the city who hold certificates of e.ny kind
was investigating the rather important question whether
any or all of it was fraudulent. The villainy 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 strong attack was made on New York
Central, and it was forced down to 131. 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 security.
Cotton closes for the week a Hale lower. Such a fact
is of course worth a great deal more than anybody'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 coaling 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 weeks, are now 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 better 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 great
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 30c. to 40c. a bushel lower than
two mouths 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
100 lb. 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.

culties existing in tho coal districts, whero the brutal
miners are burning down the works that gain for them
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 puddlor to let the iron chill in the furnace.
blilitaa y force, cold stee,l and hot bullets are the only
remedy for these wretches. They will not permit the
transportation of coal, and aro stopping all induatrial
pursuits."

LONDON, July 29.
The market in London for American securities has since
our last remained very steady. United States 5-20 Bonds
have ruled from 721 to 72k, with a moderate amount of
transactions. Illinois shares have been somewhat weaker.
Erie gave way to 424, but have improved on some large
purchases, and closed firm at 431 to 44. A very important
business is daily done in the securities of the Atlantic and
Great Western Railroad, especially in the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds and Debentures. The approach of the
half-monthly settlement induced some sales to realise pro-
fits, and so cause a decline for a day or two, but on good
buying for the new account, they rapidly advanced to 41,
at which they closed firm.
ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN.

Since our last, two most important meetings, as affecting
the interest of the Atlantic and Great Western, have been
held, the one a meeting of Debenture-holders, and the
other a meeting called by the Committee appointed Ey all
classes of bondholders ; at this latter meeting that Com-
mittee resigned its functions, and three of its members,
it will have been noted with satisfaction, have agreed to
join the Board. The Chairman of the Debenture-holders'
Committee also joins the Board, thus a unity of action is
secured, which paves the way for removing the Receiver,
and placing the railroad under the management of its
Board of Directors, and the officers to be by them ap-
pointed.
It now remains for Bond and Debenture holders to
assist the directors by sending in their Coupons for capi-
talisation as quickly as possible.
The result of the decided course Mr. WlTenry has pur-
sued in resolutely defending the creditors of the road,
under whatever denomination, from the efforts of parties
whose evident object was to break up and sell the concern,
and so cause immense loss to security holders in Europe,
is shown by the advance in the price of Bonds and
Debentures since January last, when his first
step was taken by getting a Board appointed at
the annual meeting, pledged to aid him in carrying out this
object. The Consolidated Bonds, which stood at 18, are
now more than double that figure, and Debentures have
risen in a similar proportion. His subsequent exertions in
bringing about the recent arrangement with the creditors
of the road are well known, and we have no doubt that
his future labours, assisted as he will be by Mr. Laing,
who goes out with him to America at the end of August,
will bring about such a reform in the administration of
the road, and such arrangements as regards traffic, espe-
cially coal and corn, as to tell very materially and favour-
ably on the net earnings, and consequent ability to meet
engagements.
