Ss. 4 . r 31'0' i l n W 'MOLT etentil# nit LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEUBER 9, 1848. ----.-.4...----.._.- After a session of unexampled duration, in which Parliament has been actively enga ge d for nearly m onths in the dispatch of publi c business, w hen ten th e representatives of the people are jaded and fatigu e d from the labours they have undergone, and y e t so grievous a catalogue exists of unperformed promises, o f Bills altogether withdrawn and postponed to a future session, or so mutilated in their progress through the Legislature as to be rendered comparatively useless —after, in fact, the lapse of a session such as that which tha Honourable Member for Buckingham- Aire derided with such caustic severity in his brilliant oration at its close—it becomes a matter of the utmost importance to ascertain the causes of that legislative failure with a view to their speedy removal, and to introduce such alterations in the forms of the House as may prevent a waste of public time when there is public business of the greatest consequence to be transactei. 'When an individual Member could pledge himself " to die on the floor of the House," before he would permit a measure, supported by an overwhelming majority, to pass through its several stages, and become the law of the land, it is manifest that there must be something radically wrong in the system under which a boast so truly ridiculous could have been uttered. When we find the representatives of two small boroughs, who have only acquired the unen viable reputation of being bores of the first magni tude, delivering the most prosy orations on every possible opportunity, occasioning repeated " count ings out," and actually consuming five weeks of the session between them, it becomes essential to abate the nuisance, and to interpose some means of abridging their interminable harangues. Yes, ANSTEY must be silenced, and URQUHART compelled to restrict himself to speeches of more moderate diAensions, or we shall again have to deplore neglected opportunities and time most grievously misspent. The report of the " Select Committee appointed to consider the best means of Promoting the Dispatch of Public Business," which has recently been pub lished, points out some of the causes that led to this untoward result. The recommendations contained therein, however, although they may be in some de gree useful, if carried into effect, by no means meet the exigency of the case, or strike at the root of the evil. The following extract proves that the Com mittee were fully alive to the extent of the grievance, although they omitted to grapple with it boldly and comprehensively. They say— " The business of the House seems to be continually on the increase. The characteristic of the present session has been the number of important subjects under discussion at the same time, and adjourned debates on all of them. This intermingling of de bates, adjourned one over the head of the other, has led to confusion, deadening the interest in every subject, and prejudicing the quality of the debates on all. Motions to adjourn the House for the purpose of speaking on matters not relevant to the prescribed business of the day are made more often than for merly; and motions to adjourn the debate have be come of late years much more frequent. But it must be observed, that under the regulation moved this year by Mr. HUMS, the orders of the day are now read without debate, or opportunity permitted of ad dressing the House; a rule which the SPEAKER, in his evidence, says has worked admirably ;" and yet, although their own judgment is corroborated by the experience of the SPEAKER, who declares " that of late years the progress of public business had been impeded partly by the - greater:number of Members who now spoke in debate, and consequently by the frequency of adjourned debates, and partly by the virtual abuse and evasion of the rules of the House," there is not the slightest attempt made to limit the number of who shall address the House upon any particular question, to enforce a division when the point has been thoroughly discussed, or to prevent a palpable evasion of the rules of the House, by de claring that no debate shall take place on a mere mo tion for the adjournment of the House. The Committee appear to rely on " the good feeling net in which he is entangled. Again and again he is brought before the criminal tribunals. The punish ments awarded for each successive off.nce are ren dered more stringent, until at length he is banished to some penal settlement, or terminates his miserable existence by an ignominious death upon the scaffold. That child might have been saved if any effort had been made in the earlier stages of his career, if there was an establishment into which he could have been received on his first discharge from prison, and where he might have obtained instruction in some useful employment, handicraft, or trade, by the exer cise of which he might be rescued from the tempta tions incident to ignorance, idleness, and vice. He might have been converted into a useful member of society, earning his daily bread by the sweat of his brow, and discharging his duties to the community in general in the station in life in which his lot had been cast ; and this desideratum might be attained at less cost to the country than would be required for his repeated punishments—his temporal and, perhaps, eternal ruin. Considerations of economy alone, if no higher or holier motive were taken into account, would show the expediency of adopting some such measure of prevention as that which the humane mover of the resolution in dicated. The statistical returns adduced by Mr. ARMSTRONG, in the course of his very able address, proved that a considerable saving would be effected by the establishment of such an institution. The startling fact that within six years "there had been in two prisons alone the appalling total of 40,168 persons, who had been tempted again to the im mediate commission of crime, whereby they had again and again incurred the penalties of the law, to the great injury of society, and the heavy ex pense to the rate-payers of the county," would seem to be conclusive on the question. But in addition to the saving that would be effected in the expense of prosecutions, and maintenance while in gaol, which amount to far more than the cost of in struction, it should not be forgotten how much pro , perty would be preserved by converting these plun lerers into honest men, and thus saving the public from their depredations. We trust that Mr. ARMSTRONG and those who agree with him may persevere in their benevolent exertions until their object be fully attained. The voice of public opinion will support them until their desires be crowned with well•merited success. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. In last evening's impression of The Sun we inti mated that the elevation of General CAVAIGNAC to the supreme powers of Administration was already beginning to excite jealousies among the contempt)• rary soldiers of the Republic. In stating this, we mentioned especially the name of General LAMORI CIERE—a warrior who, from his unquestionable prowess, his youth, his abilities, and his ambition, can scarcely be expected to regard without feelings of jealousy the continuance of supreme authority in the grasp of a man not one whit more distinguished than himself and several of his companions in Algeria. The offer of the command of the Piedmontese army to General LAMORICIERE elicited from us these opinions as to his probable aspirations ; and the sub sequent tender of the same troops to General BEDEAU, might induce us to allude to his reciprocation of jealousy, but that the misunderstanding between Gen. CAVAIGNAC and General CHANGARNIER eclipses in im portance all the more latent quarrels among the lieutenants of Marshal BUGEAUD. It will be re membered that some indignation was expressed a few lays back at certain expressions which were uttered by General CAVAIGNAC in the tribune of the Na. lonal Assembly, seeing that those expressions implied menace against one of the legions of the National Guard on account of its alleged tendency to reaction. since then General CHANGARNIER, the Commander in-Chief of the National Guard, has addressed a letter - o the Chief of the Executive Power, demanding an explanation of those expressions. This communica ion having produced some bitterness of language between the two soldiers, General CHANGARNIER ad dressed General CAVAIGNAC thus :—" General,—You imagine yourself more powerful than you are. It you were really what you imagine yourself to be, I would this moment place my resignation in your bards." In answer to this, General CAVAIGNAC has written the following epistle, in which it will be observed that doubts are obscurely expressei as to the sincerity of General CHANGARNIER'S allegiance and attachment to the Republican regime : "My dear General,--I should have been happy to see united in the Champ do Mars on Sunday last all the Na tional Guards of the Department of the Seine. You ill appreciate the motives which have made m- judge that to the national and only sovereign Assembly this faculty belongs. But I could not deprive myself of the satisfaction of seeing successively the different battalions it the head of which the confidence of the Government of the Republic has placed you ; and the manifestation to which these patriotic assemblages give rise. The ab 'olute and exclusive devotedness to republican principles of which all the citiz,ns there give such incontestable and striking proofs, must revibrate through the country, and draw cl.ser the bonds of fraternal confidence which unite all the national Guards of the Republic. For my self, I experienced from it a lively emotion of confidence. I had no need of being fortified in that irremovable re solution which will make me remain faithful to my duties ; but I found in it a new confirmation of my con vietion that the nation is seriously, invariably, engaged in republican principles ; that in them it places all its future hopes, and that to attempt to act on any other would be at once to betray its interest and controvert it 4 will. You and I. my dear General, fully comprehend this, and we both draw from it a new reason for the sen timents of affection and confidence which unite us, and of which I am happy to renew to you my sincere assur ance. " E. CAVAIGNAC." Although the National confirms the announce ment made yesterday evening by ourselves respecting the acceptance by Austria of the Anglo French mediation in the affairs of Lombardy, adds— of the House, and on the forbearance of its Members." Has that forbearance been exhibited during the past session ? How often has Mr. ANSTEY yielded to the urgent roquests from every side of the House, or when has Mr. URQUHART refrained from pressing his peculiar views on the drowsy assemblage i There are certain persons upon whom every appeal to good taste and forbearance is utterly unavailing. It cannot be supposed that the House of Comm ns will remain free from the interruptions of such per sons unless the power be given to a large majority to terminate these vexatious proceedings, and to remove the impediments which an insignificant and factious minority may under the present system inter pose to the progress of public business. That power would seldom if everl be abused, and we venture to say that no Member would be debarred from impressing his view, upon the House upon any important occasion ; no' ►could measares be hurried through without full and ample di,cussion. We cannot coincide with the objections that are en tertained to the rules which have been found effectual in France and in America. In the former country the evils that have at length reached to so great an extent in our own House of Commons had become perfectly intolerable, and brought the Legislature into general contempt out of doors. A simple and ef- ftctual remedy was provided, in "La cloture," which permitted any Member to call for an immediate division, when one person only could be heard in opposition to the demand, and that opposition strictly confined to the question " whether the debate should now be closed." This is in France considered an indispen- sable power, and one which had not in the main been unjustly or improperly used. 'Why should it not be adopted here in a modified form ? We would not insist upon each speaker being limited to a specified time, as in America, although the instances are very rare when anything of real importance upon the sub- ect under discussion might not be delivered within an hour. The mvjority should be authorised, however, to demand the closing of a particular oration, as well as of the debate itself ; and such a power would seldom if ever be brought into operation. We shall on a future occasion return to the con- sideration of this important subject. If " prevention is better than punishment," if it be more desirable to induce the wretched inmates of our gaols and houses of correction to abstain from the commission of crime, rather than to inflict severe pe nalties upon them when convicted, then the motion which M. ARMSTRONG, on Thursday, submitted to the magistrates of the cqunty of Middlesex, for the establishment of a House of Industry for discharged prisoners, should have been unanimously agreed to, in place of having been rejected by a small majority. There can be no question as to the vast importance of such an instituti in. In the metropolis alone, there are said to be no less than 30,000 children, who are literally impelled into crime from the miser able circumstances in which they are placed. Shunned and abandoned by all, they have no kind instructors to point out " that honesty is the best policy," or to teach them by what means they may be enabled to earn a livelihood by their own industry. They are the very Pariahs and outcasts of society. Grow ing up in total ignorance, they fall easy victims to the seductions of experienced thieves, who are ever on the look out for recruits into their ranks, whom they may trsin to the com mission of petty thefts, and make the instruments for carrying out their own nefarious designs. Common humanity would demand that the houseless and des• titute orphan should be protected from these mis creants, that he should be preserved from the de moralization and guilt into which he must inevitably fall, unless shelter and instruction be afforded. Every day we see wretched objects pursuing their career of crime, going through the various gradations of guilt, without a single effort being made to rescue them from their melancholy fate. Prosecutions are carried on at an immense expenditure. Gaols are erected, a police force maintained, and yet little, if anything, has been attempted to render this enor mous outlay unnecessary, or even materially to reduce its amount. A helpless child, perhaps an infant in years, is detected in the commission of some petty crime. It may be his first offence, into which he has been led from the absence of parental control, or from a variety of other circumstances, easily conceivable by a person who has inquired into the subject. The law must be vindicated. He is condemned to a short imprisonment, during which period he is associated with hardened criminals, who instil the most pernicious principles into his youthful mind, who boast of their misdeeds, and teach him all the secrets of their craft. When the period of his liberation arrives he is let loose to prey upon society, with a ruined character, and wholly ignorant of any trade or calling by which he could earn an honest subsistence, even if employment could be obtained. No alternative remains— he is compelled again to thieve in order to support existence, and is wholly to extricat e hi mself unable from the meshes of the " We are not able to guarantee the perfect exactitude of this news, and we believe that the Government has not yet received a confirmation of it direct from Vienna." The Journal des Ddbats, however, seems to regard the account as accurate, and this impression is also expressed by the usually cautious Constitutionnel, so that we may safely regard the intelligence as au thentic. The National Assembly is proceeding with unex- pected rapidity with the project of the new Consti• tution. In compliance with the amendment of M. JEAN RETNARD the word " principle " was substi tuted for the word " dogma " in the 4th clause, where it is said that " the dogma of the Republic is Liberty, Equaliy, and Fraternity." The proposition of M. DELVILLE, to the effect that after the phrase "In the presence of Gon " should be annexed the words "in a state of siege "—being a sarcasm on the ruling Government, was, as a matter of course, re jected. The further discussion of the Constitution is suspended till Monday, this day and to-morrow being devoted to miscellaneous business. The Moniteur appears to-day without the usual weekly return from the Bank of France. No expla nation is given of the delay, and the fact will un doubtedly create considerable uneasiness at the Bourse. GERMANY AND AUSTRIA. ....... ... ... +234 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 132 RAILWAYS.

FRANKFORT-UN-THE-MAINE Letters and dispatches from Frankfort to the 6th instant, inclusively, have arrived. The excitement which prevails as to the Schleswig• Holstein question has become something tremendous, not only in the Imperial city itself, and at the Han seatic towns, but throughout almost the whole of the independent states of Germany. The Assembly, after a stormy discussion on the 6th, rejected the armistice, the decision spreading like wildfire through the city, and causing a general feeling of satisfaction. The Cologne Gazette, in the postscript, dated the 6th instant, half past one, says, " The Ministry re signs." At Hamburgh the excitement continued to be almost indescribable, and the abhorrence of the con duct pursued by Prussia towards the Duchies is as profound as it is becoming universal. Intelligence one day later from Vienna has been received. In the Wi ener Zi etung is published the financial account of the Austrian empire, for the nine months ending July 31, 1848, and also for the separate month of July last. It appears by that account that the receipts during the former period amounted to 91,298,835 florins, and the expenditure to 119,554,205 florins, thus showing a deficit of 28,255,370 florins, instead of—as anticipated when the budget for this year was struck—a surplus of 3,687,650 florins for those nine months; so that, for all practical pur poses, the deficit for that period is same 31,943,120 florins. It must be borne in mind, however, that no revenues had been derived from Lombardy and Venice since the middle of March ; from Hungary since the beginning of April ; or from Liebenburger since the 24th of June. Those cir cumstances will account for a deficiency of about twenty millions of florins. The revenues from other parts of the empire have sensibly diminished, in con sequence of the stagnation of commerce, and there has been an increased war expenditure. During the month of July last the receipts were 7,213,267 florins, whereas the expenditure amounted to 14,276,396 florins, being a deficit of more than seven millions of florins. On the 29th ult. the value of the notes of the Austrian National Bank in circula tion was 202,790,153 florins, and of the convention coin and silver bars in deposit only 32,236,098. In consequence of the false statements given in the public journals and pamphlets, respecting the late occurrences in Vienna, the Minister of the In terior has announced officially that a strict investiga tion into the affair of the 23d is now pending and will be laid before the public. He concludes by saying : " The reports width have been circulated, relative to the killing and wounding of children, drowning the fugitive workmen in the Danube, and other cruelties, laid to the charge of the National Guard and the Committee of Security, are mere idle in ventions." In a second public notification the Minister o ;he Interior says:— " The Minister of the Interior has received repeated notices that the Guard of Security have been op posed, and murdered in the discharge of their duties, and have been personally attacked and assaulted. This guard being a public organ, the Minister of the Interior warns the public that, by opposing it, they are guilty of heavy transgression against the polioy authorities, and are liable from three days to three months' imprisonment, according to circumstances. " Whoever impedes the Guard of Security in the discharge of their duty, whether by menace or force, even if there be no weapons nor unlawful assem blages, is guilty of a breach of the public peace, and liable to close imprisonment from six months to five years. "Vienna, Sept. 1, 1848. " The Minister of the Interior, "DOBHLOFF." FROM THE CROATIAN FRONTIERS.— Since the re turn of the BANN to Agram from his tour of inspection, the greatest activity prevails among all classes in arming themselves. The borders have declared that, in case of need, .hey will furnish additional succour to the amount of 5,000 or 6,000 men, for each of the seventeez frontier regiments, so that the Croatians will amoun to more than 100,000 men ; and with the addition a the 38,000 Borderers still in Italy, all picked troop, will constitute by no means an inconsiderable army. The present disposable power of the Croatians amounts to more than 40,000 men, 15,000 of which are en camped on the frontiers, and the rest are in canton- ments, ready to concentrate at a moment's notice. Along the Drave, at Warasdin, Koperinitz, Lud burg, and farther towards Slavonia, are stationed Serezan and Slobodniak borderpra, tho former of whom . tko the enemy, being first-rate marks men, who will take aim with their long Turkish guns at a distance of 1,000 to 2,000 feet. They are all well furnished with artillery and weapons, but art deficient in practice. All are anxious to support corn. bat against Hungary. A new regiment of Hussars of 1,200 is being formed, and many of the Slavonian students of Vienna are resolved to hasten to Agram to support the Croatians. General BAUDRAND, a distinguished officer under Napoleon, died at Paris yesterday. A project has been put forward, and a petition pre sented to the National Assembly, to raise funds to enable 20,000 families now unemployed in Paris to establish themselves in Algeria. The treasury being empty, an attempt will probably be made to raise funds for this object by private subscription. The excitement still continues as to the approach ing election of three representatives for the depart ment of the seine, the day of the election being ' fixed for the 17th instant. M. BERRYER has, it is said, attcepted the task of defending SORRIER on his trial, which will probably take place in about a month, for the affair of the 15th of May.

In consequence of the observations made at the meet ing of Mexican bondholders, Messrs. Schneider and Co. have deemed it advisable to publish a statement of their position, according to which it appears that they are absolutely independent of all control. " The State, 'tis II" seems to be their axiom. In the name of reason for whom do Messrs. Schneider act ? Are they the agents of the Republic ? If so, how is that they decline compliance with its in structions transmitted through the Minister resident in England. Are they acting for the bondholders ? Assuredly riot, for the bondholders desire at least the placing of the money held in the Bank of England, for joint account of their chairman and the firm. But, stay, we have the solution, they act perhaps for the house of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, of Mexico. But are not Messrs. Manning in friendly communication with the committee? They insist upon certain conditions attached to the bonds, that a whole dividend shell be paid, so that not even the acquiescenk:e of all parties concerned will induce them to do what is just. The bondholders, however, must be energetic and will per haps yet sum ed. The Stack Market is exceedingly quiet this morning, but the Austrian ace , ptance of mediation keeps prices steady.

'The investigation of the Kalisch prisoners, we are assured, is proceeding rapidly; many, chikfly of the lower orders, have already been sentenced, and pub licly whipped. Transportation is the probable fate that awaits the majority. The whole of Poland is now.tranquil ; all the Rus sian troops have quitted our frontier, which is now guarded by a double line of Cossacks. The whole garrison of the kingdom is now stationed in the south and at Warsaw. The order of the 21st of March last, prohibiting the exportation of corn from Poland, has been offi cially withdrawn, with the exception of oats, which are not to be sent out of the country. HUNGARY. According to the latest accounts the Servians had burned the t )vvn of New Moldowa. The Hungarians are still coming off s-cond best in their engagements with the insurgent Croatians, and begi❑ to wish for peace. The BANN has taken pos session of Bukowar. The Prague Constitut Blatt asserts in positive terms that the Russian Ambas sador in Constantinople has ordered his flag to be taken down, and is about to leave Constantinople. It adds that General LIEDER has been instructed to march into Moldavia with 60,000 Russian troops. The Agram Gazette announces that swarms of locusts ( Hcuschrechen) have passed over the fron tiers from Turkey, and that they are committing frightful ravages in numerous places. BRUNSWICK. The Brunswick papers announce in terms of satis faction that the Extraordinary Diet of that duchy has voted the new laws relating to the representation of the people, the mode of election, the people's guard, and the abolition of the privileges of the chase. On Thursday next the Diet will be dissolved. ITALY. PIEDMONT AND LOMBARDY The acceptance by Austria of the Anglo• French mediation must produce immediate results. Advices from Genoa of the 3d inst. state that tran quillity had been restored. Intelligence of the same date from Piacenza an nounces a destructive epidemic among the Austrian troops. The National Savoisien of Sept. 4 gives, without guarantee, the news of the revolt of the population of Parma against the Austrians. On the 3d inst. the Sardinian army took the oath of allegiance to the constitution. The Prince of CAZIGNANO passed the troops in review, after which high mass was performed at the cathedral. ROME. The Dieta Italiana of Bologna, of the 30th ult . . announces that the Roman Chambers have been pro. rogued to the 15th of November, by a decree o: the 26th. We read in the official Gazette of Rome—" We can assure our readers that no sooner did his Holiness the Pope, Plus IX., know that the affairs of Italy are to be treated in a Congress, than he immediately took proper measures to secure himself, as an Italian prince, to be represented in the Congress, in order to protect the rights of the Holy See and of his subjects, and, according to his strong desire, to watch over, in conjunction with the other Italian princes, the in terests of Italy herself." Monsignor CORBOLI Bussr is to represent the Pontifical Government at the Congress about to be held on Italian affairs. TUSCANY. A letter from Leghorn, of August 31, says—" Last evening, the Gazette of Florence, containing the law passed by the legislative power for the re-establish. ment of order at Leghorn, was burned in the streets. The Alba was also burned. Everything is calm to-day. The American squadron is expected, as is the English fleet, composed of ten vessels ; they come here to protect their fellow-subjects. General LAU GIER has left for Massa de Carrara." NAPLES. The Neapolitan fleet, with 20,000 men, sailed for Sicily on the 30th ult. The English Admiral is not to interfere or interrupt it.

He owed to creditors 5361. 18s. Bd., and to creditors holding security 500 L Mr. Roberts, the accountant, put in the balance sheet, from which it appeared that the bad debts, through the ailure of three builders, for whom he had done busi ness, amounted to more than the sum in which he was indebted, and was the cause of his failure. He was allowed to pass his examination. The Court was occupied chiefly in hearing cases for discharge of bankrupts from custody under the new Act for the release of bankrupts in custody to surrender, or after having been imprisoned a certain period, and orders were made, but the cases did not present any t'eature of novelty. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) An elderly, respectable looking man, who was de scribed as Mr. John Je f fery, 22, Canterbury-place, York-road, Lambeth, solicitor, and chief inspector of the Animals' Friend Society, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with obtaining money under false pretences,. Mr. Alexander, a private gentleman, residing at Hol loway, stated that about a month ago the prisoner called it his house and introduced himself under the character designated above. The defendant solicited a aubacrip ion for the society which he represented. Mr. Alex inder, knowing that there were in exir.tence two other societies having the same objects, was somewhat sus• icious of the genuineness of this, end requested the prisoner to call again. In the mean time he made in quiries at the house No. 403, Strand, the address of the supposed society, and was there informed that nothing .vas known about the institution, its treasurer, go seniors, or secretary ; all that was known was, hat letters for Mr. Jeffery and the secretary were taken in there. The witness went then to the Mer►dicity Society's offices, where he round the same opinions of the Animals' Friend Society is he entertained, to be also those of the secretary and officers of that institution. He desired Jeffery to call on last evening, when he gave him, in the form of a , übscription, 55., for which the prisoner gave him a re , eipt. Mr. Alexander then called in a constable of the Nlendicity Society, who was in waiting, and who took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner offered to re turn the money, which was refused by Mr. Alexander and the officer. Mr. Ferguson, chief clerk ',of the Mendicity Society, stated that he had made diligent inquiry, and could not and that the society represented by ►ho prisoner had any real exidtence. There were two genuine societies for the excellent objects professed by the prisoner. They were The National Animals' Friend Society,in Mark- lane, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in Pall-Mall. He could not find that there was any other real individual named in the prisoner's pro spectus but the prisoner himself, and he had no doubt hat if the prisoner were remanded he could substantiate a number of cases against him. Roust (the officer) said there were upwards of a hun dred eases. Mr. HENRY said that under the circumstances he could not entertain the charge of obtaining money under false pretences. There was no proof that there was not such a society as the prisoner pretended, or he might have the bona fide purpose of forming and supporting the society named to his pamphlet. At all events, the case was one of those in which people should be careful before they parted with their money, as the law supposed them to do so with their eyes open. There were people who understood very well that there was in law such a thing as "the bare lie," and that they could go that far pretty safely. if they kept clear of the next degree, " the cheat," and did not mount quite up to " the false pre tence." He must take it that Mr. Alexander paid his money knowing what he was about, or that he did not take that due precaution which the law expected from every man. In either case he could not detain the pri soner on this charge. If the officers of the Mendicity Society found a clear case of false pretence or fraud, they could easily take the prisoner again. The British Museum was yesterday reopened to the public. It will be open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, froM ten till four o'clock, until the 30th of April next (the first we, k in January next excepted.)
