There seems every reason to believe that the Reform Bill is in a fair way to pass the House of Commons, and that in spite of the many minor difficulties which yet obstruct its progress the end is at last in view, however distant. All parties and all politicians will no doubt be heartily glad to have the matter settled, since the disturbed and uncer tain condition in which it threatened to remain was damaging alike to the general interests and to the reputation of our public men. Last evening the Chancellor of the Exchequer informed the House of the mode in which the Government intended to proceed with the measure. lie promised that to-day the plan for carrying out Mr. HODGKINSON'S amend ment should be in the hands of members to-day, and he told them that the Government found upon consideration that they would be able to deal both with the Small Tenements Act and the Private Rating Acts. The Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed that after disposing of the 4th clause, which relates to the county franchise, the com mittee should pass at once to the consideration of the 34th, so that the borough franchise should be finally dealt with. Another suggestion made by Mr. DISRAELI for the conduct of public business is likely we believe, to be received with favour. The Leader of the house suggests that the Reform Bill after this week should be taken on Tuesdays and Fridays at morning sittings, and that to make these more practically serviceable the hours should be for this session at least changed. Hitherto, as we all know, morning sittings began at twelve o'clock, an hour which found the house very thinly a:tended, what with the duties of Parliamentary committees, the claims of private business, and the fatigues of fashionable life. Then at four o'clock when the most of the M.P.'s had an hour or two to spare, the sitting broke up, the House resuming again at six, though there was seldom much accomplished until the ine vitable dinner hour was over, so that with a good many hours apparent business comparatively little was usually really done. Mr. DISRAELI'S proposal will alter all this. He suggests that the morning sittings shall this session begin at two o'clock, and be continued till seven, when the two hours interval will first adapt itself to the customary dinner hour. We have little doubt that this plan will be favour ably received by the Commons, and we may hope that it will assist the rapid and steady progress which all desire to see made with the Reform Bill. With regard to the bill itself, the proceedings of last night did not help it forward very far. The House resumed with clause 4, the county franchise, when Mr. VIVIAN moved an amendment extending the franchise to all leaseholders for terms over sixty years of the annual value of not less than £5, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not oppose, and which was, after some little discussion, accepted by the committee. A little further on, however, a hot dispute arose, and the figures in the divi sion lists presented some curious variations. Sir C. COLEBROOKE proposed an amendment de signed to prevent the creation of faggot voters, which required that a dwelling-house should in all cases form part of the occupation qualification. Two divisions took place on this proposal, which singularly enough contradicted each other. The first division, proposing to omit the words of the clause, left the Government in a minority of 3. The second, proposing to insert the amendment in the vacuum, left the Opposition in a minority of 3 ! The difference was explained by the entrance of some additional members, but the result was a condition of hopeless perplexity. Some hon. members, in despair, took refuge in proposing that the Chairman should report progress, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer strongly objected to, observing that it was unreasonable to talk about morning sittings and adjourn at eleven o'clock ; as is often the case the dispute about the adjournment filled up the leisure interval, and at last finding npthing was to b.e done, the leader of the House agreed to report progress, and the Bill stands over till Monday. Mr. BRIGIIT took the opportunity of deprecating party fights on the clathes, and said he un derstood it was agreed that all parties were to do the best they could with the measure before the House. He objected on his own part to doing anything which might limit the franchise ; at the same time it was necessary to take some security against the creation of faggot votes, which all parties were agreed in opposing, as they were as likely to be played off against one as against the II other. He proposed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should take the matter into considera tion, and see whether he could not find some means of meeting the views of both sides of the Roust. No doubt Mr. DISRAELI will be able to accomplish this, and if the House will give its candid and unbiassed consideration to these minor difficulties, we have no fear but that they niay be dealt with in a fair and liberal spirit. Very much has been already gained, since we find the heads of the rival factiuns no longer attacking one another, and disputing the ground inch by inch for the mere pleasure of party triumph or oratorical dis plky, but combining their energies to improve and consolidate the measure before them, which all have apparently agreed to accept as a foundation for practical legislation. The Bill for Suspending the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland was read a second time last night, but not without a fierce discussion taking place. Mr. MAGUIRE delivered one of those intemperate speeches which are happily now but rarely heard in the House, and which cannot possibly further any end of justice or improve the state of things referred to. The attack made by the hon. member upon the Government was quite unwarrantable, and we are not surprised that Mr. ROEBUCK should have taken the matter up so strongly as he did. In short, Mr. MAG U IRE'S criticism amounted to this,that everything the Government had done was wrong, they were wrong in having relaxed the stringency of the law, they were wrong in having sought to resume its powers, and the worst of all was their present attempt to continue it for a prolonged period. Abuse is not argument, but it is quite impossible to persuade prejudiced persons of the fact, and this speech is a case in point of the injustice that can be done by those who work themselves up into a frenzy of indignation. The hon. member had taken great pains to provide himself with quotations from various sources respecting the wrongs and misery of Ireland, but, like many others similarly situated, he did not keep to the point. The subject before the house was, whether it was necessary, under existing circumstances, to keep the unusual autho rity now vested in the Executive in Ireland ; but, to judge from the tenour of Mr. MAGurnE's dis course, we might well think that the debate was addressed to the consideration of the state of the country in the abstract, and not to any particular case or individual proposition. Accordingly, un sparing censure was awarded to the Government, and one extract after another was adduced to show that, no matter who wrote, spoke, or thought about Ireland, arrived at the conclusion that it had every ill under the sun to complain of, and therefore there was no wonder that disturbances and discord were rife among its people. It is scarcely possible to exaggerate the mischievous tendency of such lan guage, and as it is utterly impossible for any Go vernment to attempt to satisfy such complainants, all ends in talk—that is to say, as far as the busi ness of the house is concernel ; but who can esti mate the injuries inflicted by the perusal of such are sufficiently statements by those who infatuated to put faith in them. There seems room to doubt the truth of the assertion made by the hon. member, as to its being the best portion of the Irish. who emigrate. To judge from their acts when they reach the land of promise in the Far West, it would seem far otherwise. All these exaugerated and extravagant statements are how ever common among those who dilate on the sub ject, but it is going too far for Mr. MAGUIRE to charge the Government with insincerity in the matter of their dealing with the insurrectionary movement. The absurdity of the charge is almost (Anal to its unfairness, as wh it possible good could it do to the Government to have renewed dis turbances take place ? "The Government," he said, " were aware of thesecret movementsof the Fenians and their designs, and yet they declared in February that no necessity existed for further exceptional legislation, while they allowed an attempt at in surrection to be made in the following month." Mr. ROEBUCK'S remarks were much to the point. He addressed himself to the chief thing in Mr. MAGUIRE'S statement—namely, that the Govern ment had men tried and convicted upon the evi dence of informers. " Why," said he, "no con spiracy can ever be proved but upon the evi dence of conspirators." He fully agreed with the honourable member for Sheffield in his declaration that there are obstacles in the way of improving the state of Ireland, and among the chief of these was the "language used by the hon. gentleman." Mr. ROEBUCK defended the policy of the house towards Ireland, and denounced in strong terms the course pursued by Mr. MAGUIRE. Referring to the de claration made that the emigrant carried out of Ireland a burning hatred to England Mr. ROEBUCK said, " Is that just ? Is it the feeling of a wise man? No, it is the feeling of an ignorant peasant, but it ought not to be the feeling of the hon. member for Cork, and he concluded his admirable speech by declaring that the hon. gentleman talked of his good intentions while he delivered his mischievous speech, but there was a place, which he would not mention, that was said to be paved with good intentions." Lord NAAS met the observations of Mr. MAGUIRE very successfully, and showed that no pains had been spared on the part of the Government to ascertain the state of the case as regarded the dis turbances in Ireland, and the progress that Fenianism was making. It need not be said that on the part of the House there was no desire or demand for the said explanation, he was perfectly satisfied that the best had been done which could have been effected under the circumstances, but it was as well to have the repetition made of the ridiculous charges pre ferred. When the QUEEN'S Speech was delivered, it was naturally thought that nearly all the danger was over, but the occurrences at Chester and else where showed that much mischief still lurked abroad, and hence precautionary measures were adopted with renewed vigilance on the part of the authorities. Mr. BRIGHT made a few of his intemperate observations on the subject. Ireland and its wrongs is his last subject that he has taken up with great power and zeal ; he endorsed all that Mr. MAGUIRE had said on the subject of the great injustice done to the Irish, and laid great stress upon the danger that we should run in the event of a war with the United States while Ireland is so disturbed and dis contented. This is another most untenable argu ment, and the members of the English Parliament are not to be influenced in their legislation on Ireland for fear of what the Americans may think of their policy. It sounds very grand to talk of Ireland being in an angry and disloyal state with " another and beater Ireland within ten days of steaming, to hold out its hand of sympathy to a discontented people," but the Ame►ieans do not seem to find it so easy to settle their own diffe rences that they should undertake the solution of the problem that has baffled generations of states men. How is Ireland to he governed ? If uncertain of which are the best means to adopt we know the worst at any rate, and that is to foster and encourage the spirit of discontent which sets remedies at defiance, and regards friends as foes if they tell unpalateable truths, and what but encouragement to discontent and murmurings is the sum and sulaztance of the impassioned notions of Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. MAGUIRE. They either mean nothing, or they mean that Fenianisin is the result of the gross injustice heaped upon Ireland, and this is not a statesmanlike or a patriotic manner of treat ing the question, as a little reflection must show. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING', MAY 24, 1867. supposed plot for the restoration of the King of Hanover to the sovereignty of that kingdom. Ac cording to one of these authorities, the idea was to form a Royalist Legion which would have begun a campaign at once if war had broken out between France and Prussia. Various domiciliary visits have been made, followed by arrests. One report says that the police have seized a sum of 150,000 f., which was deposited with a banker to enable the conspirators to carry out their views. The idea of the plot seems to be a mere invention. A splendid dinner has been given by M. Schneider, the President of the Legislative Body, to various eminent individuals, more or less, connected with the Exhibition. Lord Cowley sat at the right of Mine. Schneider, and the Vice President of the Commission, M. Rouher, opposite to whom was Marshal Vall iant. The Marquis de h Valette, Minister of the Interior, M. Forcade de la Roquette, M. le Play, the President of the Commission, and other official personages and foreigners of note, were present. Only two toasts were given —the first by Lord Cowley, to the Emperor, Empress, and Imperial Prince ; the other by Presideut Schneider, to the Sovereigns and Powers, friends and allies of France. The band played the air of " La Reine Hortense," and afterwards " God Save the Queen," and the national airs of several countries. An admirable concert was given after the dinner. The guests were more than 1,500 in number. A letter from Berlin states that the treaty was ratified by the Prussian Government on Friday last. A Prussian military paper states that the effective force of the Prussian army on the peace footing consists of the following :—lnfantry of the line, .5,629 officers, 160,168 men ; foot chasseurs, 286 officers, 6,942 men ; infantry of the landwehr, 279 officers, 2,064 men. Total of the infantry, 6,194 officers, 169,174 men. Cavalry, 1,806 officers, 45,589 men ; artillery, 1,521 officers, 28,491 men ; pioneers, 216 officers, 6,036 men ; train, 144 officers, 2,726 men. General total, 11,169 officers, 2b3,468 men. In consequence of recent changes, the army has been augmented by 2,140 officers and 43,809 men. This estimate does not include troops of various denominations, the number of which, how ever, is not very large. From the inquiries of the police relative to the mysterious affair in the forest of Fontainebleau, it appears that one of the ladies went to Paris to re ceive a large sum of money, the produce of the sale of a hotel belonging to her. The idea of the police a that she has b een po i sone d and robbed of the money. She was young, and the Droit describes her as " very beautiful." The stomach and intes tines have been sent to Paris for medical examina tion. The body of the lady is said to have been first discovered by a coachman who was driving past the spot. No document has been found to lead to the identity of the lady, but she had a wed ding ring, which has assisted the police in their inquiries. The weather is very extraordinary. Last night there was frost. This morning, between six and seven, large flakes of snow fell for ten minutes. Soon after nine there was a violent hailstorm. On the sill of my window 1 collected with ease ice suf ficient to fill a large breakfast cup. During the day the cold wind took the shine out of the sun, or, at all events, the warmth of it. Late in the afternoon it began to rain. A Hungarian steam yacht is now moored in tha Seine close to the Exhibition, and forms an interest ing addition to its many curiosities. Its name iu the Hungarian language is " Hableany," or Daughter of the Waves. It is a boat of small dimensions and graceful form, belonging to Count Edmond Sze chanyi. She arrived in Paris on Saturday last, after a voyage of 42 days, under the command of her owner. The crew consists of an engineer, a stoker, and two sailors, one of whom is hardly twelve years of age. This yacht will form part of the Maritime Class of the Exhibition. It is 20 metres long by about two metres and a half wide. Its engine is of 84-horse power. It is painted white with ornaments and moulding of gold. It is very convenient, and in .the saloon are divans, a piano, and a library. It has also a bedroom and kitchen. It is the first vessel which has come from I'esth to Paris, and this is also the first time that a vessel hoisting the Hungarian flag has been seen in the capital. The course was by the Danube, the Louis (Danube to the Maine), the Maine, the Rhise, the French canals and the Seine. At Frankfort nautical men predicted that the yacht would incur great danger in navigating the Rhine, and require to be constantly towed ; but t he skill of the captain, aided by the excellence of the machine, overcame all obstacles. A man and his wife, named Jestram, natives of Hamburg, have been arrested at Calais, coming from London, charged with fraudulent bankruptcy. About 100,000 f. in bank notes and gold were found upon them. The notes were concealed in the chig non of the woman. It is now certain that the Sultan of Turkey will come to Paris. He will be accompanied by Fuad Pacha, his Minister of Forei g n A ffairs. The Emperor of R ussia, it i s said, has set apart five millions of francs to defray his expenses while in Paris. The amendments proposed to the new law upon the Press are now under the consideration of the Council of State. Death of Mr. E. H. BAily, -41.- Following closely on the number of eminent artists who have lately' departed from among us, Mr. Edward Hodges Baily, R.A., the sculptor, died on Wednesday. He had attained his 80th year. On Saturday last he accid entally contracted a slight cold, which brought on an attack of bron chitis, to which be succumbed. He was a Royal Academician for 47 years; but since the recent change in the constitution of the Royal Corporation his name was placed upon the list of retired acade micians. His growing infirmities necessitated a withdrawal from the active prosecution of his pro fession a few years ago. The period when he took this step may almost be marked with accuracy by the absence of his beautiful works from the annual exhibition. Ever since he was first elected to the principal honour, his statues, busts, and par ticularly the exquisite groups embodying poetical and classical subjects with which he has enriched the English school —not a prolific one in such works—were prominent features in the display, and were expected as regularly as that the doors in Tra falgar-square would be opened. But few English sculptors have attai ne d t h e h app y power of, produc ing such works as, by their exceeding artistic value, rise above, and are i n a manner se p a rated from the general similar p ro d uct i ons o f their country, inso much as to becom e ra th er o f an European than any merely local scho o l. S ome o f Baily's statues, not ably his " Eve a t th e F ounta i n ," may be said to have passed into that h onoura bl e c ategory. His chisel was always remarkable for the refinement and gracefulness with which it wrought the beauty of women and children. His allegorical and poetical designs were mostly classical ; but his ideal subjects, although exquisitely sculpturesque, were never se verely distinguished from the life. His portrait sculpture, of which, especially in the later years of his professional career, he produced many famous examples, was characterised generally by much dignity; some of his monumental works of this kind express a very touching sweetness. He was a pupil of Flaxman's. The sou of a ship carver at Bristol, he began the model when a boy of 16. His earliest attempts were in wax, and in after years, when he had become celebrated, his skill in this branch of his profession, ordinarily practised for artistic silver work, was very conspicuous. He came to London, and, impressed with the beauty of Flaxman's out line designs illustrating Homer's " Iliad" and " Odyssey," obtained an introduction to the great artist, who took him into his studio. Here he worked during seven years, and his progress in art was assured. In 1811 he took the gold medal at the Royal Academy ; in 1817, the year before he exhibited his " Eve," he was elected associate, and in 1820 was made a Royal Academican. Mr. Baily enjoyed the friendship of a vast number of the great men in art and literature of his time, a fact that he . was wont to steak of with great plea sure. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The Alloniteur, in reference to the treaty, says : " Public opinion throughout the whole of Europe is unanimous in evincing the favourable impression produced by the pacific result of the London Con ference. The peoples, like the Cabinets, render homage to the moderation of the attitude and the language of thelmperial Government, which, never separatin g the private interest:. of France from the general interest, only obeys in its proceedings and its acts the ideas of peace and concord." " The King of Sweden, in the sitting of the 16th of May, made a speech at the close of the session to the States General, which sat for the first time since th:. reform of the Swedish Constitu tion. To the ancient representation by classes, nobility, clergy, citizens, and peasantry, succeeded the system of one unique Parliament composed of an Upper and Lower Chamber. This first experi ment has succeeded, and the Government received from the representatives of the nation active and faithful assistance, for which King Charles the Fifteenth thanked the Diet. The session lasted four months, from the 15th of January to the 15th of May, and was distinguished for enlightened Parliamentary measures." The Emperor of Russia will arrive in Paris on about eleven days. the lat of June, and will stay in the capital The camp at Chalons is now regularly organised, and General de Lad mirault has assumed the com - mand-in-chief, in succcession to General Douay. The corps d'armee performs various evolutions almost daily. It is nearly 40,000 strong. The united force at the camp is composed of four divi sions of infantry, one division of cavalry, and 12 batteries, installed as in preceding years, the cavalry under the tent of the extreme right, and the infantry at the left. The 19th Regiment of the Line is already provided with the Chassepot gun, and it is stated that 1,000 more guns of the same kind will be immediately distributed among each of the infantry regiments of the camp, so that towards the end of their stay there all the troops will be exercised and armed with that gun, which has been definitely adopted for the French infantry. A division of the Luneville Dragoons is expected, who will take part in the grand manoeuvres. The Queen of Holland will shortly come to Paris to see the Exhibition. M. de Goltz, the Prussian Ambassador in Paris, has received a telegram from Berlin informing him that the Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia will arrive in Paris on Saturday.

Prince Napoleon has left Paris for Italy in order to be present at the marriage of his brother-in-law, the Duke of Aoste, son of the King of Italy. The change of air has almost completely re established the health of the Imperial Prince, and he has returned to the Tuileries from St. Cloud. The Paris papers and one of the Berlin journals have some vague and mysterious allusions to the LATEST INTEIALIGFiNtJE. (REUTER'S 9ELEGRA3I S. ) ITALY. FLORENCE, May 23.

BRADFORD, May 23.—The wool market has scarcely undergone any change since last week ; it is upon the whole quieter than on Monday. Staplers have done a steady business in the choice sorts most in demand. The large quantity of colonial wool recently sold in London has some effect in keeping down prices. There is no appreciable improvement in worsted yarns, and spinners generally will accept the prices of last week. In pieces there is a very limited business doing. Although the demand for the Continent has since last week slightly increased, there is scarcely an average business doing for the time of year. Merchants are holding back their orders as long as they can, in the hope they may be able to operate more advantageously. Orders for fancy goods come in more freely, but the demand is far from being general. There are American buyers in the market, but their transactions are very limited. The home houses operate very sparingly. They have of late placed orders for autumn goods. There is rather more business doing for France. There is little change in prices. Manufacturers are over anxious to receive orders, and will accept last , week's rates. The First Lord of the Admiralty held a levee yesterday afternoon at the Admiralty, Whitehall. The following officers were present :--Capt. W. K. Jolliffe, Capt. Talbot, Capt. It. Wells, Capt. T. Saumarez, Capt. H. Harvey, Capt. J. 0. Johnson, Capt. E. H. G. Lambert, Capt. F. A. B.

Bythesea, V.C., was swung on Monday for the adjustment of her compasses. On Wednesday her engines were tested at the measured mile ; after a satisfactory trial under the inspection of Captain Willes she returned to Plymouth Sound; AMERICAN TRADE AND FINANCE. Writing on the 10th instant, the Philadelphia correspondent of the Times says : The May statement of the public debt of the United States, published a few days ago, has gene rally disappointed the country. Instead of an in crease of the debt of $5,000,000 during April, a decrease was confidently expected ; and telegrams from Washington from persons supposed to be in the secrets of the Treasury, sent before the statement appeared, predicted that it would show a decrease ddring April of fully $7,000,000. It is evident, how ever, that the day of redemption of the United States debt has passed by, and that some time must elapse before the Secretary will find any surplus revenue to devote to this purpose. The debt on January 1,1867, amounted to $2,675,062,505 ; on May lit was but $6,000,000 less ; and there is every prospect that on January 1, 1868, it will exceed $2,665,000,000, if it does not reach the amount at which it was re ported on last New Year's Day. This unfortunate condition of affairs—unfortunate because America had set its heart upon a rapid reduction of the debt—is owing to the lavish appropriations of the 39th Congress. No legislative body ever assembled in any country voted away money with more reck lessness. The same absurdities that characterised its politics were prominent in its financing. The warnings of the Treasury and the complaints of prudent men of all parties were alike unavail ing ; every bill appropriating money went through with ease, with the single exception of the appropriation of $1,000,000 for the destitute people of the South, about which the members, who had voted away hundreds of millions without question, higgled and delayed as if it were fraught with deadly peril to the country. Besides the ordi nary expenses of the Government and the interest on the debt, in themselves nearly $280,000,000 an nually, millions were voted for every conceivable object. The Freedmen's Bureau got several mil lions and a dozen political investigating committees as much more ; ironclad contractors who had vio lated their contracts were paid in full ; the Indians were given enormous sums ; statues were ordered and pictures bought ; contingent and " deficiency" appropriations were made almost without num ber ; the soldiers were given extra bounty and the Congressmen extra pay ; the pension list was almost doubled ; State war claims to large amounts were paid ; naval vessels wero fitted out, at heavy expenses, to go on pleasure ex cursions with Government officers ; heavy advertising bills were paid to newspapers for politi cal services; the Government credit was loaned to the banks ; stationery and goods were ordered in large amounts at extravagant prices. The few members who endeavoured to warn Congress of the consequences of this course were silenced by the " previous question ;" and the result is that until July 1, 1868, appropriations have been made to an amount that the revenues of the country for the same period will scarcely pay ; and, should the expenditure exceed the receipts, the debt must be increased rather than diminished. Congress at its session of 1865-6 voted the appropriations for the current fiscal year ending July 1, 1867 ; and the second session of the same Congress, held during the winter of 1866.7, voted the money for the next fiscal year, ending July 1, 1868. It has generally been supposed that Congress was the guardian of the public money, bnt the 39th reversed the rule, and spent it at a rate that astonished the country. The Secretary of the Treasury has him self stated lately that on account of these lavish appropriations it is impossible for him to make any material reduction in the debt. A diminished re venue also contracts his resources. Every species of Inland Revenue is falling off, and although two income taxes will appear in this year's returns the total will fall considerably below the estimates. Heretofore it has been customary to assess this tax during May and collect it after the Ist of July. This was the case last year, but this year it was assessed on March 1, and is now being collected, and it will probably all be paid into the Treasury before July 1. The Inland Revenue returns for the current fiscal year will therefore contain the tax on the incomes for two years, a judicious change to swell the receipts, but one which will make some future year suffer. The income tax now being collected it is stated will not amount to more than one-half or three-fifths that of last year, a plain indication that the country is not so prosperous as it once was, and the total inland revenue returns of the fiscal year to May 4 were $233,179,040, as compared with $271,335,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of about one-fifth. The story of decreasing American prosperity is also told in another way by the trade returns of the port of New York from July 1, 1866, to May 1, 1867. As compared with the previo us year, th e i mports indicate a less receipt from Customs ; the exports have fallen off ; and more specie is going out of the country : 1865-6 1866-7 Imports of merchandise 5 212,823,755 ... $210,376,950 Exports of produce 186,372,949 146,013,096 Exports of specie With regard to the lavish expenditures of the 39th Congress, one instance —the " equalisation of bounties bills," more popularly known as the " extra bounty"—is remarkable. At both sessions of this Congress, acts were passed g i v i n g bounties to the soldiers of the late war, proportioned to their terms of service, wounds, and also to their failure of the receipt of bounties previously given by the Government or local autho rities. It is generally estimated that from 700,000 to 1,000,000 soldiers or their heirs are entitled to these extra bounties, and that the amount to be given each will average $2OO. Here is an appropri ation large enough to eat up two or three years sur plus, yet it was voted at the first session of the Con gress in a proviso to an approbriation bill, under the 64previous question," and without the names of the voters being recorded. The bill of the second ses sion passed with great unanimity, and described the persons entitled to the bounty. To comprehend the gigantic character of this appropriation it must be known that in the Paymaster's Department, where the examination of the claims for this bounty takes place, 115 paymasters and clerks devote their entire attention to the business. On the let of May they had received about 420,000 claims, but had only been able to examine those filed down to last De cember, as they began at the commencement of this enormous list, and were going regularly through it. They were also paying at the close of April about 500 of the claims a day, though they were claims that had been filed last year, and were near the head of the list. Yet on May lit was thought that not one half the claims for the extra bounty had been sent to the Paymaster-General's office. This appropriation, the amount of which is unascertained, and may be $100,000,000, or may quite as easily reach $300,000,000, is a specimen of the style of money voting in vogue during the last Congress. So heavy are the expenditures on this account that it is reported the Secretary of the Treasury is urging a suspension of these bounty payments for the pre sent, for fear their volume may actually necessitate an increase of the debt. Her Majesty's 4-gun :screw sloop Nymph, 1,081 tons and 300-horse power engines, supplied by Messrs.
