the maximum salary of civil office for the offices of Government, under the situation of Member of Council, civil servants who may draw larger allowances than this annual sum as a consolidated, personal, and sumptuary allowance, in consideration of the necessary expenses of their position, will, in all cases of absence, be treated, in respect to deductions, as drawing only the allowance thus limited, and the excess above the monthly salary yielded by that annual sum shall remain as a local addition to the usual deputation allowance to be drawn by the officer performing the duties, to meet the necessary expenses of his position; provided, however, that in the cases of civil servants appointed to offices of the description referred to subsequent to the 2nd of June, 1854, the sum of Rs. 50,000 shall be held to be the maximum salary, under the Government Resolution, No. 563, of that date.

Section XXVI. Deputation allowances shall be granted to civil servants temporarily performing the duties of an office according to the following rates, and subject to the limitations and conditions hereinafter laid down ;

[ocr errors]

To civil servants not holding any substantive appointment, at the rate of 50 per cent. on the monthly salary of the appointment officiated in such deputation allowance, being in addition to the subsistence allowance of their respective ranks.

The civil servants holding an office of inferior emolument, when officiating in an office of superior emolument, at the rate of 20 per cent. upon the monthly salary of the appointment officiated in, all cases in which the salary of such appointment shall not exceed Company's Rs. 2,000 per mensem, and in respect to all appointments of which the salary shall be more than Company's Rs. 2,000 per mensem, at the rate of 20 per cent. upon Company's Rs. 2,000, and of 10 per cent. on the amount in which the monthly salary may exceed Company's Rs. 2,000, provided, however, that no lower rate of deputation allowance shall be given than Rs. 200 per

mensem.

The deputation allowance shall, in all cases, be in addition to the salary of the substantive appointment held by the officer on deputation.

The above rates are granted provisionally, subject to future revision.

In the Punjab, Nagpore, and other places, where the appointments are by classes, the amount of deputation allowances payable at the above rates will be calculated, not upon the salary of the individual officer holding the substantive appointment in which the officer deputed may be temporarily officiating, but on the average rate of salary attached to the particular class to which the appointment may belong.

A civil servant acting for another shall have no claim to commission or fees, where any such sources of emolument exist. These shall be regarded as forming part of the income of the office to be relieved, subject to the prescribed deductions.

A civil servant acting in an appointment, the salary of which is to be reduced on the retirement of the present incumbent, will draw deputation allowance on the reduced salary.

An officer officiating in more than one appointment will be entitled to deputation allowance, regulated by the aggregate amount of the salary of the offices.

An officer appointed permanently to a higher situation, but prevented from joining his appointment by an order of Government, and detained to officiate in a situation of still highhr emolument than the one to which he has been permanently appointed, will be entitled to a deputation allowance in addition to the higher salary to which he has been promoted.

Section XXVII. No civil servant temporarily officiating for another, shall draw an amount larger than the entire emoluments of the office in which he is officiating; and if the amount of the deputation allowance, according to the prescribed scale, added to the permanent emoluments of the officiating servant, would exceed the emoluments of the office in which he is temporarily acting, the excess shall not be drawn. But this provision shall not apply to the case of any officer deputed, for special reasons, to act in an office of inferior emolument to his own. In cases where an officer holding two appointments, on being deputed to officiate for another, shall be relieved only from one, he shall receive no deputation allowance, unless the emoluments of the office in which he is deputed to act exceed the united emoluments of his permanent appointments, and in that case the deputation allowance shall be limited to the difference.

Section XXVIII. No subordinate officer acting for his principal, or for any other person holding a superior appointment in the same office or establishment, at the same station, shall be entitled to any deputation allowance until after the expiration of one month, and then the allowance is not to be drawn in arrear. But a servant previously out of employment, or who may be deputed to act from a different station, shall be entitled to deputation allowance from the date at which he may enter upon the

discharge of the duties on which he has been temporarily appointed.

Section XXIX. Civil servants, if deputed to act at a distance from the stations where they are employed, or if ordered by Government on special duty, shall be permitted to draw travelling allowances at the rate sanctioned in the case of a first appointment.

CHAPTER VII.

Rules for Limiting the Period of Service.

Section XXX. After thirty-five years' service, no civil servant shall be appointed to a new office, nor be permitted to retain an office which he has held for a period of five years and upwards, except in special cases, which are to be referred to the decision of the Hon. the Court of Directors. This rule will be applicable to every civil servant appointed to office after its promulgation, and to the case of every other civil servant to whom it relates at the close of five years from the date of its promulgation.

CHAPTER VIII.

Rules for the Grant of Leave of Absence to Law Officers. Section XXXI. The East India Company's law officers may obtain sick leave, and short leave on private affairs, under the conditions presented in the case of civil servants, both as respects the period of absence, and the limitation of allowances during such absence. Leave will, however, only be granted at the convenience of the Government, and no additional expense will on any consideration be incurred by the Government on account thereof.

If any law officer shall quit his duty, save on leave under medical certificate, or on short leave on private affairs, he will be considered to have vacated his appointment.

CHAPTER IX.

Rules for Chaplains and Assistant Chaplains,

Section XXXII. Chaplains and assistant chaplains may take furlough on private affairs and on medical certificate; also short leave on private affairs, on the same terms and conditions as military officers, with the following modifications:→→

1st. Chaplains being allowed to retire after twenty years, the period of furlough on private affairs is in their case limited to the present term of three years. The furlough may, however, be taken in one period, divided into two periods whether at eighteen months each, or of two years and one year respectively; and if divided, the first furlough may be taken, as at present, after seven years' residence, and the second furlough after a further residence of ten years in India. As respects chaplains, and assistant chaplains, appointed before the 11th January, 1854, when the period of service was only eighteen years, their second furlough, if they should exercise the option of taking furlough in two periods, will be available after a second residence in India for a term of eight thead are li years.

[ocr errors]

2ndly. No furlough leave of absence, whether on private affairs, or on sick certificate taken in Europe, or elsewhere out of India, in excess of three years, will be allowed to count a service in India in the twenty years which qualifies chaplains for their retiring pensions.

Section XXXIII. The furlough pay of chaplains will remain as at present. With regard to their allowance during sick leave, to any place out of India, they shall receive salary (but at a rate not exceeding 1,6004. per annum) for the first six months of absence, and for the remaining twelve months an allowance equal to the furlough pay of their standing If the leave be extended, an allowance equal to farlough pay may be drawn for a further period of eighteen months.

To London and Liverpool, 47. 15s. to 51. 5s.

IMPORTS (Calcutta, Sept. 18, 1854).-The market for British Cotton Piece Goods remains without any signs of activity. In the face of the approaching holidays, dealers have not come forward freely, expecting a further reduction; and though importers are rather anxious to realize, they are partially checked by the decline in exchange. Business had therefore been transacted to a moderate extent, and in some instances purchases had been made on easier terms. Grey and White Shirtings continued in limited inquiry, but Figured Shirtings were almost unsaleable. Jaconets a shade lower without any improvement in the demand. There was not much doing in Grey and White Madapollams. Mull Mulls remained unaltered. A fair amount of business had been done in Book Muslins for the Burmah market. The other descriptions of goods continued without any alteration, the quantity disposed of being on a limited scale. In metals not much to report. Copper in steady demand, though the price was a shade lower. No change in Iron.

MADRAS.

COTTON CULTIVATION.-Mr. F. D. Meppen, superintendent of cotton cultivation in Mysore, in a letter to the Bangalore Herald reports most favourably of the result of his experiments. The foreign cotton produced in the province is of excellent quality, and so large are the orders which arrive in Mysore, that Mr. Meppen believes cotton will soon be one of the staples of the Nuggür division.

DEATH OF LIEUT. HOLLAND.-We regret to record the death, near Coimbatore, of Lieut. Charles Holland, of the 4th N.I., holding temporary employment in the Department of Public Works, under Capt. Ludlow, of the engineers. The deceased officer was seized with cholera at the village of Vodrammacottah, on the 30th August, and expired the following afternoon. In Lieut. Holland the public has lost a most able and energetic servant, and society, one, whose unassuming manners and amiability of disposition, had endeared him to all with whom he came in contact.-Athenæum, Sept. 7.

ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT IN THE DEKKAN.-There has been another serious engagement in the Dekkan, in which the force under command of Brigadier Mayne has gained a most signal victory over nearly one thousand rebel rohillas. Our correspondent from the Dekkan informs us that between eight hundred and one thousand rebel rohillas having taken up a position near Aurungabad, Brigadier Mayne moved out against them with a combined force of cavalry, artillery, and infantry. He invested the fort and village they held on the 21st instant; but finding the place too strong to be taken without heavy guns, be confined his operations to a complete reconnoisance and to hemming in the enemy until
