7. Mr. Figg has been an Assistant at our establishment for the last ten years, during which time he has excelled throughout the whole mark of that establishment. He encloses a

Testimonial from the Director of that Observatory, which gives information also as to his Character. 5. In case the Earl of Derby has not
