the Colonies, sald that the percentages et increase in German trade with the colonies were very large during the first half of the present decade, but had not increased during the latter half. The replies which he had received from the Colonial Governments with respect to his circular on foreign trade ebowed that there was occasion for excessive alarm. Great Britain had been besten la certain industries, owing to the undue ladependence of the makers of the particular goods' concerned.

IT is ́eamoured that there is great discontent amongst the members of the Police Force owing to the Captain Superintendent Halag several constables, who are members of the Fire Bilgade, || $ts because they failed to turn up at the fre la New Street on the 8th Inst. It appears that when the fire-bell rang at 8.40 the men who were fined were taking pari la an Installation meeting of the United Servico Lodge and believing there were quite enouch of their com. raden avaliable for fire duty they did not leave the Lodge, hence the imposition of fines which, under the dicumstances, la deemed a great hardship.

A MILITARY correspondent wiltes to the Tiwas of Ceylon as follows :-From what I can gather, | the head-dresses of the Scots Greys, Lancers, Hussats, Dragoons, Highlanders, Light fafan- try, Fuilters, and Rifles sie doomed, and it is presumed that the bushy of the Royal Horse Artillery is to be included in the sacrifier. If this intention is carried Into effect, twenty-eight regiments of cavalry, twenty-one batteries of

Home Artillery, and forty one battalions will

lose their distinctive head-dresses and be forced to wear a helmet. Its chiel recommendation to the military authorities is its resemblance to the German helmet.

THE Hon. Dudley Ryder delivered an address,

No. 4th, at the London Institution, as Preat dent of the Institute of Bankers, and made refer- ance to the election in America. He spoke of the growth of gigantic monopolies ar "trusta" in the United States as being the cause of much discontent, and noticed the attempts that had been made to establish suçà monopolies in Eng. land, but did not think the system would be- come so mi chievous there ait was in America.
