General stoneman to-day issued an order continu-
ing the SherifYs and magistrates under chapter 30
Of the code Of virginia. In once until their successors
qualify. This will probably stay the ofnciai clash
that has occurred since the promulgatlon OF Stone

that the whole number appointments made amount
to the number Of ASA. OF these, 161 were made
by General schoneld in 1867 and s71 in 1868. The
number Of appointments made BY General Stone
man In 1858 numbered IT'S and In 1859 1,s47. The
whole number Of ofnces in the state is 5,4ei, Of
which 2eo7 are yet to be filled. -
General stoneman has removed number Of the
former appointees whose places he has also had to

OF oflcal positions can be filed In the next month";

Rear Admiral Rowan, commanding the Asiatic
squadron, writes from Hong Kong under date Of
January %, giving account Of another dinnculty
which had taken place between the English naval

mander OF the English gunboat Cockchafer took his
boats six eight miles from the anchorage to
exercise them, and In passing the village Of Pulling
the villagers commenced pelting them with stoneA
Lieutenant Kerr then landed and demonstrated, and
finding the elders Of the village decided to
take the head man OF the party in one OF
the boats to swatow: The villagers resisted and
fired on the Lieutenant, who returned the fre and
soon dispersed them. The Lieutenant re-embarked,
and when short way on his return was intercepted
by the vlllaCers, who had cur across che country.
The villagers fired ON the boats wounding eleven
men, two seriously. The nre was returned, and
eleven OF the villagers were reported killed and thirty

1t looks like parliamentary limiting Of the
period Of vigor of the human intellect. We
must, however, bear in mind chat the mental
strain and corporeal wear and tear which
ensue from legal study, bar practice and
bench duty in this country are very intense
and exhausting; SO it may be that the present
measure will operate very beneficially. From
the bench Of Great Britain judges over seventy
years Of age have frequently delivered the
most lucid decisions; but we have also the
case of late Baron Of the Irish Exchequer,
who, when he had arrived at that time of life,
would involuntarily doze into sleep in the
