tions go, which would render him an efficient Registrar, Mr Huffam has most undeniably the best claims to the office. Mr Russell, on the other hand, would bring to the post a thorough legal educa tion an advantage which Mr Huffam has not enjoyed-while against that he --:Inoks Mr Huffam's intimate knowledge
of the details of the office. His appoint ment would, in fact, do more injustice to the gentleman at present performing the duties than to the post itself. That Mr Stewart should by many be deemed an admirable candidate is, after the thorough success he has achieved in his own de partment, but natural. We should much prefer, however, to see Mr Stewart on the bench, for which his knowledge of Chi- nese, his promptitude and decision, and his wide range of general knowledge pre- emontly qualify him, In truth, it would be a pity were the Government, in selecting the officer to perform the duties of Registrar, to depart from the original intention of the cadet system, and wastefully throw away the Chinese Boholarship of either Mr Russell or Mr Stewart on an office which may be as etficiently filled by one possessing no such acquirements,
The French elections have resulted in a triumph for the moderate Republicans, Only 61 Monarchists, and 55 Bonapartiste have been returned. Buffet was defeated and has resigned.
General Schenck has resigned on account of the Impending Emms Silver Mine trial.
