Every succeeding hour brings something cross ; and t be spirit of the troops here is still more decidedly hostile to the l'te arbons than ever ; it is a fact that the Commanders d ire not eve o c all a ntststeC of them ; so much for our defenders.

A Special Court of Cominon C ;council was held Wednes day, to consider what further ste, ys it might be necessary to take with respect to the Corn Bil' j.
