But there is a much more important omission in the resolution s of this Committee. Three witnesses elamined before it state, and give their reasons fo; stating, that the greatest and most useless expense at tending proceedings on private Bills, is occasioned by the bad constitution of the Committees to whom they Ire referred. The canvass of members--the uncer tainty, irregularity, and fluctuation in their attend ance --the interruption, the repetition, and the in reased expense, with the unsatisfactory course of Proceeding thence resulting, are detailed, and their consequences strongly pointed out by these witnesses, two of whom suggest, as a remedy for this evil, that the members of the Committee to whom a private Bill is referred, should not exceed four, who shouldbeballotted f or, or the duty should fall upon members by rotation. One o f . these witnesses suggests that the member who /ri ngs in the Bill should be the chairman, and the Committee would thus have the benefit of his local knowledge, while he would be placed in a situation w hich would enable him to pay duo regard to the interests of both parties, without obliging him to give a vote for either. The Committee seem to attach an importance to local knowledge, which these witnesses do not think belongs to it ; for this question having be e n put to one of these witnesses, " Are you not aware that Committees are generally constituted in suc h a way, that the members attending them are acquainted with local circumstances ?"—he answers, 4 ' I am aware that the Committees are so constituted, which constitutes my principal objection. I think the 'more independent, and abstracted from all private, lo cal, and political influence, the members are, the In ure likely are parties to be satisfied." And the other of these witnesses says, that by the constitution he pro- Poses to give to Committees, " Members would be P la ced in a situation where they would act in their 1)14/41 e capacity, exactly as they would act in their Private capacity." But while this Committee have chosen to refrain fro m adverting to the most important point of all that aro se i n the course of their inquiry, they have recom mended, " that recognizances for payment of costs be ente red into, previous to going into Committee, by Parti es promoting Bills, if required by any opposing bar s, who th ereupon s h a ll enter i nto a recognizance, tit in neither case shall costs be claimed, unless - a warded by a special resolution of th e C ommi tt ee ." what parties in their senses will lay themselves at ine mercy of a Committee, for costs, constituted as 'nminittees now are ?" is to n o p urpose to h ave re f orm w i t h out, if t h ere . 18 not reform within the walls of Parliament. This is a subject to which we may return, both as it relates to „ e: vArate and public Committees, but for the presen 14/ *_ content ourselves with broaching the subject. 4, -ear- Admiral Sir William Gage, in th e H as ti ngs , 7 stea llas v at Lisb on on th e 16th ins t.

This fashionable watering place demonstrated their loyalty on Thursday, the 21st instant, by a grand ball and supper, at the Royal Kent Assembly Rooms in honour of his Majesty's Birthday, which was attended by all the fashion and beauty of the island. The dresses and uniforms had a most imposing effect in the rooms -which have been newly beautified. The supper was most tastefully and bountifully supplied by Mr. Hale, the proprietor of the rooms.

Sh• is understood to have brought specie for the military government, amounting to 75,0001. SATURDAY COMMITTEE-OFFICE, MONTREAL, JULY 22. Owing to the various contradictory rumours put into circula . Lion relative to the cholera hospitals at St. Ann's CommOn, and to do away with the alarm, the Saturday Committee think it their duty to publish an official report respecting these hos pitals. Total number of patients received at the cholera hos pital from the 11th July (the first day of the appearance of the cholera), until July 22, included, has been 44—dead, 28. ( From the Quebec Papers.) Of 23 cases admitted into the Marine Hospital since Satur day we learn that three only have terminated fatally. The Marine Hospital is now open for the reception of the sick. We have arrivals this morning of a Lisbon Mail, sailed on the 17th of August ; from Oporto 18th of August ; and from Vigo 19th of August, by the Confance. Also a Mail from Vera Cruz by the Goldfinch sailed on the Ist of July, and from Havannah, July 20. The former Mail brings the opening speech of the Cortes by Don Pedro, which is of great length, recapi tulating all the former events of six years ; upon the whole it is looked upon as favourable to the Portuguese Nation. The accounts by the mail from Vera Cruz is not of a later date than previously received by the American papers, of Santa Anna having united with the clergy, and marching a force to put down the Government party. Large remittances are ex pected from Vera Cruz, by the next arrival. The Dut c h an d Fl an ders mails are, as usual, without any news of importance. The French mail, and express from Paris, are of more im portance than the former arrivals. From the theatre of war in Spain, we are still supplied with repetitions of marches and countermarches of the contending armies.

The mania for speculating in Spanish Stock has been again resumed this morning, although the above Stock was considerably lower in the Paris Markets. Spanish, which was done at the opening of our Market at 43+, soon after took a turn, with a reaction of nearly 2 per cent., and reached 44i to 45 ; at present it is 44i 4. A general report prevailed of an express from Madrid of the 18th inst., with favourable accounts respecting the Cortes Bonds, which to the present time cannot be traced to any authentic source. At Amsterdam a prospectus has appeared for a loan for Don Carlos to a large amount, issued by one of the first houses there. Consols are heavy, and receded from 90k s to 94 for the Account.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.--This Noble Lord arrived in Lancaster on Monday afternoon, on his way to Brougham Hall, in Westmorland. His Lordship appeared in Court, soon after his arrival, to visit the arena where some of his most arduous contentions have taken place, and where many of his most witty and eloquent harangues have been de livered. As soon as he appeared the whole bar rose and paid every respect to his Lordship, as they did also when he de departed. In the evening his Lordship dined at the King's Arms with his old associates, and on Tuesday again visited the Court, when the same marks of respect were exhibited as be fore. His Lordship does not look worse than he did half a dozen years ago at the close of an assize. His Lordship ar rived at Brougham Hall late on Tuesday night, having come by way of Patterdale and Pooley Bridge. Mr. W. Brougham and his bride were expected at Brougham Hall on Thursday night.—Carlisle Journal. The carcase of a young whale, in a state of putre faction, was, on Monday last, carried up by the tide and left on the banks of the river Usk, at a place called the Marsh, about half a mile from the bridge, at Newport. It had been ob served for several days previously at the entrance of the river, in the channel ; it measured in length 22 feet, and was com puted to be not less than 9 feet in girth at the thickest part ; on the back was a large wound, which had probably occasioned its death, and which had the appearanc e of having been in flicted with a harpoon. The effluvia it sent forth was extremely offensive, but notwithstanding several hundreds of the inhabi tants of Newport flocked to see it. The authorities, deeming it to be a nuisance, had it towed down the river the next morn ing's tide, when it was turned adrift to seek some other rest ing place. This, we have been informed, it subsequentl) found still higher up the river, near Caerleon.--.B i istol Mer cury.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1834 DUBLIN. (From our own Correspondent.) E Decidedly the richest speech, and the most notable con version of all the speeches and conversions at the great Protestant Meeting here last week were those of the Earl of Glengall. There is a dramatic interest in every thing which relates to that clever peer; and his eloquence, which is pecu liar, shines out like "a lucid coin" in an after-dinner speech. His health was given as a "Resident Landlord of Ireland," where he certainly did happen to be resident on last Friday, but it was "by accident," as he says himself, he just dropped in to prop the cause of Protestantism, and could not but feel that " his presence was rather a novelty, for he lives in the south of Ireland—in the-county of Tipperary 1" True for him ; he is one of the novelties of the season, sure enough ; but that he lives in the county of Tipperary is rather a bit of a non-sequitur. There was a time when he might very fairly have said that he lived hard by that county, but tempora mu tantur et nos mutamur in illis. Unless there be a Tipperary in France, the less this pink of resident landlord brags on that head, the more will it be to the credit of -his good sense. He has lived, he says, to repent of his sins of toleration and liberality. " His family was Roman Catholic for hundreds of years, and he was once an emancipationist, but he repents that act." "Ahme ! that act !" as Hamlet says. " The Government has lost the confidence of the clergy and the Pro testants—and why ? Because every person of rank or pro perty has been banished the precincts of the Castle, which is now infested by people who are neither landholders nor fund holders, but live by their wits." Oh !—God be with long ago, when sack and sugar was no sin. People might live by their wits then, and never come in for a gird from my Lord Glen gall. Not that it is any wonder that he in particular should regard with a peculiar feeling the folks wot lives by their wits, for he ought to know the stuff they are made of. His Lordship further talked a la mode de Curran of fellows who " rose as they rotted." Whom the mischief could he mean? We know of some such in this country, and of a great many more who rot as they rise : but that is no novelty here. On the matter of property his Lordship waxes glorious, and says, " Our property is not founded on sp o li a ti on , b u t b e l ongs rather to the other side; and with great pleasure I inform you, that it is to King William my family owes the resumption of their pro property." This staunch Protestant travelled all day last Sunday with four hired post-horses to where he lives, in the south . of Ireland. Sic itur ad astra. Another of the zealous defenders of true religion, Lord Winchilsea, spent the Sunday on board of a steam packet on his return to England. This is still more striking than the indecorum above stated; for Lord Glengall does not pretend to more sanctity than falls to the lot of a political Protestant ; but the other pillar is a sort of enthusiast in his way. As we are upoi, the subject of Sabbath-breaking, I shall just mention a third instance, which also occurred on last Sunday, and to which it might be difficult, if not impossible, to find a parallel in any civilised Christian country out of Ire land. In a county till lately considered to be on the brink of rebellion, one magistrate went on the part of a second magis trate, intending to deliver a hostile message to a third magis trate, who was in the house of a fourth magistrate ! A satis factory explanation prevented the necessity of the appeal to arms. Every one of the parties is a determined Conservative, and all most eloquent and pathetic on the subject of the dangers which 'threaten the religion of their fathers. Is it any wonder that true Protestantism does not prosper amid such a gentry ? BANKRUPTCY COURT. 'THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FANS. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN THORNE. The claims against the estate of the bankrupt were this day audited, and amounted to 1,0771. 11s. 10d. Mr. LONG said there was a debt which he wished to prove. He had been appointed solicitor under the commission, and the claim he had to make related to legal business done for the recovery of some property. A Bill in Equity had been filed, to which an answer had been put in, and it was necessary that certain deeds belonging to the bankrupt should be lodged with the clerk of the Court. The property was afterwards re covered by ejectment, and the deeds were in the hands of Mr. Ford, who acted conjointly with him, Mr. Long, under the commission. The question which he wished to submit to the Commission was whether he had not a lien on these papers ? The COMMISSIONER inquired if Mr. Ford was the partner or the agent of Mr. Long. Mr. LONG.—No, but he acts conjointly with me. The COMMISSIONER said, that he could not recognize such a conjunction. The law did not recognize such a term, and in order to have a lien upon the papers, Mr. Long should have them in his own possession, or that of his agent. Mr. FORD, the solicitor to the assignees, explained that Mr. Long was the original so li c i tor. After the death of one of the assignees he (Mr. Ford) had been appointed, but as Mr. Long had given every facility to the adjustment of the accounts be did not wish to prejudice his claim in any way. The COMMISSIONER observed that the law of lien was de pendent upon actual possession, and he was decidedly of opi nion that Mr. Long could have no lien upon those deeds. A dividend of ss. in the pound was declared, and Mr. Ford requested an adjournment to the Nth of September, for the purpose of procuring some necessary vouchers, to which the Commissioner acceded.

ROTCH, Esq., M P., and a full bench of Magistrates. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the Grand Jury, congratulated them on the lightness of their labours, the calander presenting but a short list of prisoners for petty theft and mi s d emeanors ; there was no case i n it th a t re quired particular comment from him. Mr. ORAM wished, previous to the Grand Jury retiring, to advert to representations that had gone forth to the public as to the non-attendance of Magistrates. He did not consider that any Magistrate was called upon to attend unless he re ceived notice. For himself he had never received any notice of the sessions that was held some time since. The CHAIRMAN said that it was usual, at all sessions, to give Magistrates notice, and he believed it was unwarrantably done. After some further observations, the subject dropped, and the Grand Jury retired. Henry Kirkman was indicted for a nuisance in College street, Camden-town. Many witnesses were called, who stated, that the defendant, who resided in College -street, and carried on the business of dealer in Marine Stores, was con tinually in the habit of annoying the whole neighbourhood, by making extraordinary noises during all hours 4 the night ; so much so, that the landlords were unable to get tenants for the houses they had to let, and the most of the present tenants had given notice to quit. Added to this, the most nauseous and unhealthy smell proceeded from the premises of the de fendant, who, on being remonstrated with by the neighbours, told them they must quit the nuisance, for it would never quit them. Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. PAYNE for the defendant. The case, which appears likely to occupy several hours, had not concluded when our Reporter left.

Edward Martin, a waterman's apprentice, appeared to an swer a complaint preferred against him by the Waterman's Company, of, plying a boat for hire upon the river Thames, without a licence. The case had been heard upon a previous occasion, but had been postponed to this day at the request of the defendant. The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant what answer he had to make to the charge ? Martin said he bad acted under the instructions of his mas ter, and, as he was not aware that he was infringing the law, he hoped his Lordship would deal leniently with him. A gentleman who attended on behalf of the Waterman's Company said the Company did not wish to %isit the defendant with punishment, as he had probably acted from ignorance. The Loan MAYOR said the defendant should be aware, that the same protection would be extended to him when he became a master as the Company was now extending to the entire body. He hoped the leniency shown to him would be attended with a proper effect, and he should therefore discharge him and direct him to appear again on Monday next, by which time he trusted the necessary license would be taken out. Mary Nelly, a ragged half-starved Irishwoman, who stated that she earned her livelihood by working as a char-woman, complained that the allowance of Is. 6d. a week, which she had hitherto received from the parish of St. Margaret had been withdrawn, and that she was literally starving, as she had been for some time unable to work. The overseer who attended said that the complainant had no claim upon the parish, and that she bad been occasionall4 re. lieved from motives of charity. The Loan MAYOR directed that some temporary relief should be given her, but cautioned her against again annoying the overseers. WHALE FISHERY.

A CHURCHMAN'S CONSCIENCE.—When men think they cannot 'enjoy their consciences unless you give them good livings, and if you prefer them not, you afflict their con sciences, they do but too evidently declare that it is r. of their con sciences, but their profits, they would have secured. Now to these I have only this to say : that their conscience is to be enjoyed by the measures of God's word, but the rule for their estates is the laws of the kingdom. —Jeremy Taylor.

This town was enlivened on Friday with a Regatta, and it is somewhat remarkable that this was the first that ever took place off this " the Queen of watering places." Admiral Sir R. Otway, one of the Stewards, with his daughters, were present the whole time, and appeared to be highly gratified with the scene. The weather was exceedingly favourable for the sailing-boats, but the rowers had a stiff pull. In the evening fireworks were discharged from the pier head. COWES REGATTA. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) COWES, AUG. 23.—0 n Thursday, at our Regatta, his Majesty'. cup was sailed for by the undermentioned yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and won by the Harriet, of 67 tons, G. W. Heneage, E s q. The competitors arrived at the goal of decision as follows : Hours. min. see. Harriet G. W. Heneage, Esq... 3 51 16 Hebe A Corbet, Esq 3 51 30 Witch The Emerald, Mr. Symonds, and Mary, General Johnstone, gave in ; the former from carrying away her gaft, and the latter having her bowsprit sprung. The Royal Yacht Squadron Dinner took place at the Squadron House on the 21st inst. Amongst the company were—His Grace the Duke of Norfolk ; Vice Commodores the Earls of Belfast, ll ehester, and Cavan ; Lords Deerhurst, Foley, and Corry • Admirals Sir G. E. Hammond and Si r P. H a lk e tt ; G enera l johnstone ; Captains G. Pechell, Corry, Fullea, Lynn, Saunders, &c. A royal salute, in honour of his Majesty's birthday, was fired at noon from the Royal Yacht Squadron Battery; and at one p.m., the Vice Commodore's brig Waterwitch, and other yachts in the roadstead, followed the same example, and were all dressed in colours. _ Yesterday there were rowing matches by four and two-oared boats belonging to the squadron, which created much interest. HARWICH REGATTA. (From the Essex Standard.) 11ARWICH, Auo. 21.—This day was ushered in by the ringing of bells, and at an early hour in the morning all was bustle and preparation. By nine o'clock the beautiful harbour was filled with boats and vessels of all descriptions, trimmed with their best colours, and filled with company from the surrounding ports and neighbourhood. The. Ipswich steamer brought 300 of the in habitants of that town to witness the sports of the day ; and at eleven o'clock the scene was interesting and brilliant in the extreme. At that hour, the vessels of the first class having taken their station, the firing of a gun announced the commencement of the sailing. The four rowing matches by six-oared galleys, four-oared galleys, skiffs, and gunning punts, were admirably contested, and exhibited a degree of strength and skill seldom witnessed. The town was filled with visitors to overflowing, and can iages of all kinds were ranged along the streets in every direction. Many who arrived late had great difficulty in finding room for either man or horse. Among the Company we observed—Sir G. H. Smyth, Bart. ; Sir G. Webster, Bart.; C. T. Tower, Esq., M. P. ; J. Disney, Esq. ; F. Nassau, Esq. ; and other gentlemen of the county. The town, we are happy to learn, has been well frequented by visitors during the season. THE CONVICT SAMPSON.—The Sherborne, Dor chester,and Taunton Journal, says—" We witnessed the trial of Sampson, now under sentence of death for the robbery of Mr. Knight, and a more awful display of human passions we never beheld. The change from bravado, with which he en tered the box, to the bitterness of rage with which he gnashed his teeth at Marltr, then to tears, when the Judge kindly ad vised him not to waste his energies on useless questions—his attempts to conceal his inward agony--his gradually failing powers, until he leaned back and cried bitterly—and then his groans—his horror while sentence was being passed on him—none who beheld that scene can ever forget it. Marler returned to Taunton on his release from confinement, but was immediately attacked so furiously by the companions of him self and Sampson, that he was obliged to fly for his life. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mr. Morgan Munden, brother of the late Mr. Munden, the comedian, was on Satur day received into St. Bartholomew's Hospital, under the fol lowing melancholy circumstances :—lt appears that the unfor tunate man is 72, and for many years past was a pauper in the workhouse of the lower liberty of Saffron-hill. As two boys were passing by the New River, near Islington, they saw him sitting on the bank, with his legs in the water, and cutting his throat with a penknife. They gave an alarm, and a police man arrived and took him to the station-house, where Mr. Semple, the parish surgeon, attended, and rendered every as sistance, and he was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where we on Saturday saw him in a most helpless and deplor able condition, with a dreadful wound in his throat. The miserable old man, it appears, anticipated that his late brother would remember him in his will, in which, it seems, he was disappoi n t e d, an d t h e c i rcumstance we ighed hea v ily on his mind, and caused him to contemplate suicide. He was a wi dower, and about three weeks ago left the workhouse with one of the female paupers, and was not heard of until he was found in the above hospital. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

Last week there was a very large arrival of wheat, but of other grain the quantities were inconsiderable, the trade for wheat during the week indicated lower prices, but for other grain prices were supported. This morning another large supply of wheat appeared; some of the Essex runs were fine and in good condition, but most of the new samples were rather tender and some bad. The millers purchased cautiously, and the trade for wheat was very heavy at a decline of 2s. per qr. from the terms of Monday. Barley as last quoted. Old Beans maintain their value. New have sold from 345. to 365. fine and dry. Pease fully support last quotations. In the Oat trade transactions have been limited, but prices are firmly main tained. The supply of Flour not much exceeding the present de mand, the last prices are unaltered. Fine-dry-south country winter Tares have sold s lowly at 9s. 6d., and some fine Yorkshire at Bs. 6d.

Some eighty-five years ago, a mess dinner in India was no joke. When Colonel Campbell, at three o'clock, reached the mess bungalow, he found fifteen gentlemen assembled, military officers, a few civilians and merchants. The mess-room was a bare unfur nished chamber, without mat, punkah, or carpet ; and every person. brought his own chair, plate, spoon, knife, fork, and glasses. The table groaned.under the smoking viands, and Colonel Campbell observed a box under the table, which, attracting his attention, he inquired what it was placed there for.; Major Stackpool, the president, informed him that it. Was a half chest, containing six dozen of prime claret. They sat down, the full chest being first opened; and,plaeed . at one side of the president's chair. The wines were hot as the thermometer at ninety degrees could make them. The room was stifling, even though the vene tians were open, and some few had people with hand fans to cool them ; but -thi s th e ma j ority cons id ere d vastly effeminate. " Gentlemen," said the president, " be seated, but first make yourselves comfortable." So saying, he doffed his coat, waistcoat, and sock, and every one followed his example.. " Sit down, sit down," continued Major Stackpool. " I'm sorry to say Padre Heaviside.-is not, here to say grace, so we Must even do without.!' What's become of the old sinner ?" inquired Captain Hesketh, a bloated looking, short-necked corpulent man of forty-two. " Why," replied the major, " last week a report hav ing arisen, I know not how, that the plague had been imported in an Arab ship, his reverence beat' the retreat, and took himself off to Goa." The company now set to eating anddrinking in earnest ; and though the wines were so hot, bottle after bottle of Calcavellas and claret, to say nothing of certain pocula of san garee in the pauses, disappeared with a rapidity that would frighten our modern quihys and ducks. Captain Hesketh assured Colonel Campbell that the climate was the worst on earth, and that but for a generous diet and plenty of liquid stimulants, it would be impossible to live in it. The conversation now began to be noisy and desultory ; tigers, wild hogs, Mahrattas, and the cave of Elephanta, were talked about all in a breath. " I can prOve to the . . satisfaction of yourself, Captain Wadden, or'any individual," said Collector Purwannah, " that the flo rikan has four toes." " I till ye, Sir, the florikan has only three." " Now really you are a very positive' individual." " I'm nae mair an indeeveedual, sir,. than ye are yersel," said Captain M'Fadden, fiercely. Here there was a roar of laughter ; and Mr. Purwan nah, in a fever of irritation at being laughed at; looked from one to another, but- at length his attention was directed by Major Stackpool asking him to take a pint bumper with him. This the other instantly acceded to, and the draught appeared to soothe his irritated' nerves. The cloth being removed, the whole party " set ardent in to serious drinking." Some began to falter a little in their speech, others to laugh knowingly and smirkingly at everything,'and others again to weep and fondle each other. The collector and WFadden, drowning all testiness in wine, were vowing everlastirig• friendship, when, Colonel Campbell beginning to feel alarmed at the state of things before him, by a cer tain premonitory sensation of the room going round, rose up to depart quietly. This, however, was a thing not to be heard of ; Major Stackpool aiid others debarred his retreat. "My dear sir," said Major Stackpool, " you cannot surely leave us so soon ?" "So soon indeed ! have we not sat here since three o'clock, and it is now half-past six ?" " But, my dear sir," said Captain. Hesketh, "we have got through little more than half the claret ; see the chest is very near half-full yet." " What, sir! you surely don't expect me to sit here until that great box of wine is all drank out ! I shall die ;" " Well, . if you do," hiccupped Captain Hesketh, " recollect that Alexander the Great died at Babylon." " Sorry comfort that for me ; but really I do not feel very well, and the cup of Hercules now _would finish, 'me." " Well, well," said the president, " we won't be hard upon you ; for ourselves, we shall not leave this till we finish the claret ; but at any rate come and let us drink welcome to Bombay, and prosperity to you." This appeared so reasonable, that Colonel Campbell consented to sit down again, and bumper after bumper was fired off in good rummers, with a „rapidity that fairly frightened him ; but seeing that one of the vene tians was convenient for a bolt, and that the window was only six or seven feet from the ground, he deter mined to escape when he could. Accordingly, in the midst of some promiscuous and noisy discussion, he leaped out, and got fairly off. Colonel.. Camp bell did not get up next day till noon. A throbbing headach reminded him of the hard bout lie had undergone the previous evening, when a servant entered with a card, on which was written—" Mr. James Askindull." Throwing on his dressing gown, lie desired the man to show Mr. A s kindull in. " Hope you're. well, Colonel,---not the worse of last evening's shivoe?"—" Why, really, Mr. Askindull, I cannot say I am much the better for it." " Never mind, sir, that will wear off when you get used to it ; but will you kindly call the servant, I feel a little thirsty and fatigued, and a glass of sangaree would not be amiss ?" This being brought, Mr. As kindull drunk it off with infinite gusto ; desiring the man to bring another, and two dried bummaloes, as a relish. " Well, Colonel, you've heard that poor Hes keth has caught it at last."-" What, the plague ?"

I turned round, and saw his head had fallen backwards ; 'his eyes' stared confoundedly, and face and lips were as if he had bedaubed them with indigo. We laughed at first ; but seeing. he never moved but to shake one leg, like, we thought it queer. Dr: Molesworth came 'immediately, and tried to bleed him, but the vein would not run, lie was stone dead. Poor fellow ! we were most particular friends ; and I certainly mean to purchase his service of plate, and his stock of claret, Java arrack, and old Calcavellas, at the auction of his things, which, I presume, will take place the day after to-morrow. You'll be there of course ; capital opportunity to get good bargains. Good morning, Colonel Campbell." —Bengal Annual.
