We wish the Post-office authorities would look a little more sharply after the due and proper delivery of newspapers entrusted to their special care. Scarcely a day has passed for the last month that we have not had complaints of missing papers. To such an extent has the evil increased that several of our subscribers now threaten to discontinue. The fault is not ours, but we are to suffer for the evil doings of others! We believe the General Post-office uses its best endeavours ; but, unhappily, without success. We will give them a hint. Whenever there is a great sporting event to come off, or any extraordinary ex citement in the wind, then be sure the sporting or •political thieves are doubly on the look out. We half suspect some of the provincial postmasters, or their promising helpmates, are a little inclined to take a peep at the winner of the great race to see if "the favourite has got it." Now we should not begrudge the peep if they would but forward the paper to those who are anxiously waiting with both eyes open to re ceive it. One good tiirn surely deserves another, and in this case something more. HIGH WATIIR. AT LONDON BRIDGE.

Yesterday the 7 )knish victory at ldstedt was fol lowed up at the Po, •eign-office in Downing-street by the signing of the long-expected protocol by the Plenipotentiaries. That protocol, partially accepted on the 4th of July, was finally accepted, as we have observed, on the 2.( i of August. Those Plenipoten tiaries were the reef ;•otiating representatives of France, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, and Great Britain. Our assertions consequi ntly, that the defeat recently ex perienced by Gene! -al WILLISEN, the Commander-in- Chief for the chleswig-Holstein forces, would inevitably proves the prelude to a satisfactory settlement of the q uestion at issue between the het- Hitt -rents, have bps ?n very rapidly and very signally verified. The ;_protracted contention between 1 J - THE SUN, Denmark and the Germanic Confederation may be now regarded as virtually brought to a conclusion, through the instrumentality of the chief of the Great Powers of Christendom. According to the decision of the important document already reverted to as having been signed last evening, under the supervi• sion of Viscount PALMERSTON, the conflicting claims of the Duchies have been reconciled, and the integrity of the dominions subject to the sway of the Danish Monarchy boldly and de finitively indicated. That integrity, it will be re membered by our readers, we have repeatedly shown to be jeopardised by the infamous egressions of Prus sia and her political accomplices in the Confederation, our arguments on this head having been reiterated during upwards of the thirty months last past succes ively. Throughout that period we have vigilantly watched the movements of the opposing armies as they have oscillated between the northern and southern boundaries of Jutland, maintaining, meanwhile, an un interrupted scrutiny of the course pursued by the antagonistic diplomatists. Be it observed, moreover, to the honour of our Liberal contemporaries, scarcely a journal amongst the metropolitan or provincial press has failed to advocate the cause of justice, identified, as it was, with the rights of Denmark, or to contemn the unrighteous proceedings of the Berlin Govern ment and of the other Cabinets implicated with the Schleswig-Holstein insurgents. None, in fact, of the Liberal journalists of England have sympathised with the lawless assailants of an ancient and independent sovereignty like Denmark, except such as have been bitten with the phobia of the arbitration movement, and whose judg ments have consequently been distorted by prejudice. For ourselves, we have preserved throughout a scru pulous regard to the logic of facts, those facts being furnished by the pages of history and by the usages recognized from an almost immemorial antiquity. Foremost among those facts is the circumstance that the southern boundary of the peninsular dominion of Denmark has for centuries, from the days of the eXiARS downwards, been that river Eyder, which the Prussia❑ soldiers have dared to cross in their most flagitious movement of aggression, and over which they are now being driven back ignominiously by the terrors of Danish patriotism. The existence, during so many bygone ages up to the present pe riod, of the distinct line of demarcation between the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein—between the Scandinavian Duchy of Schleswig and the Germanic Duchy of Holstein, a line of demarcation indicating at once the boundary of the Danish territories and of the territories of the Confederation—we have illustrated (so often as to have rendered the quotation hack neyed) by the motto inscribed on the oldest maps of Europe, " Eydera Germani terminus imperil." At that river we have shown that the dominion of Ger many has ceased. From the Eyder northwards, we have seen that the Jutland peninsula has always ap pertained to the Danish sovereignty. We have re cognized the fact proclaimed by the voice of history, that Schleswig itself has for many long centuries been not an appendage of Denmark, but an integral rortion of its dominions. Knowing these things, our judgment has revolted from anything like respect for the conduct of the Prussian Government in aiding and abetting the insurgents of the Duchy of Holstein in striving to effect their association with their Scandanavian neighbours. The adventure ha s glared upon us from first to last in its full atrocity as a mendacious endeavour to commence the dismember ment of the Danish dominions. A very simple comparison will tend to illus- trate more clearly than any more serious argu ment the gross injustice and crass stupidity of those proceeding; on the part of the Confederation. The conduct of Prussia and its associates, in joining with Holstein in its effort to unite itself with Schleswig, and thereby to rend that Duchy from the dominions of the King of DENMARK, is as monstrous and unjustifiable as if France were to con spire with the Channel Islands in en endeavour to seize the Isle of Wight, and thereby to violate the integrity of the dominions of Great Britain. Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark belong to England after the same fashion that Holstein belongs to Den mark. Schleswig at the same time is as completely an integral portion of Denmark as the Isle of Wight is an integral portion of England. Consequently, when the Holsteiners are struggling to wrest Schles wig from its intimate union with Denmark, aided in that struggle by the military force of the German Confederation, it is as shameless and detestable a violation of all justice as if the inhabitants of the Channel Islands were struggling to wrest the Isle of Wight from its intimate union with England, aided in that struggle by the military force of the French Republic. Recognising thus clearly the goodness of the claims of Denmark, we exult in the present approximation .of its difficulties to a satisfactory settlement, partly through the valour of its patriotic soldiers, partly through the adroitness of the European Plenipoten tiaries, almost simultaneously by the signing of the protocol in London and the gaining of the victory at Idstedt. Should no unforeseen calamity arise as an obstruction, the Schleswig-Holstein question will very soon be resolved into a permanent reconciliation of the belligerents; while England, Russia, France, and Sweden will stand pledged to maintain the inte grity of the Danish sovereignty. "If the law supposes that," said Mr. BUMBLE, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, " the law is a ass—a idiot. If that is the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor, and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience —by experience." Mr. BUMBLE was right, the law is in many respects " a ass—a idiot,", and in none is its deficiency more painfully apparent than in the law of husband and wife. A case was decided on Tuesday in the House of Lords, on appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland, that affords the most powerful illustration of is gross absurdity, and tempts us to wish, with the " parochial functionary," that so far as the question of legal cruelty be concerned "the eye of the law may be opened by experience by experience." The case was one in which the husband appealed against the decree of the Scotch Court which pro- , nounced that his wife was entitled to a separation a menses et thoro, and to a suitable alimony. This judgment was founded on a course of conduct on the part of the appellant to his unfortunate wife, which, in whatever light it might be regarded by " the eye of the law," could only appear to " the eye of reason . and common sense " as being infinitely more pair, ful and heartrending to the respondent t h an such a degree of " personal violence," or " threat of personal violence as would undoubtelly constitute an act, or acts " legal cruelty" sufficient to warre:at a partial divorce from bed and board, and to af r .ord the deeply-injured lady a perfect right to w ; :chdraw herself from under the roof where she had, been treated with such gross con tumely by the 'man, who at the altar of GOD had vowed " to 10,0 and cherish her until death did them part." Wi!chout entering into the statements contained in " the summons of separation," or the evidence by which they might have been sustained, the letters of the appellant himself distinctly . proved that he bad vo luntarily and for ever relinqu ished all the rights and husband. worifa by privilege s of obediencea rg e the dutie s a ahusband, u 3 refused to dis charge exact the compellingbehe to remain where her friends and relation her s were forbidden to come—where he treated her, to use his own words, ' with "an involuntary avoidance and coldness" — R or er , he was aware that " she neither was nor could be happy." He would refuse his assent to a formal separation, although he acknowledged " that they were as much separated as if she were living under the roof of her parents"—that they had " separate apartments, separate feelings, and (he might add) separate interests." Under such circumstances there could surely be no difficulty in assenting to his own proposition that such a separation was " far more dis creditable than if distance were added." Ho would keep her under his own roof, and forbid her to reside, we will not say where she might have a prospect of happiness, for of that there could be but little pro bability under any possible circumstances, but where her misery might be in some degree alleviated— where other friends might in some degree compensate for the cold-blooded negligence of one who should b:; " all the world to Ler," ttlid where she miLL Ue , spared the " scorn , con t emp t, or p i ty " o f h er very 1 servants, some of which feelin gs mus t be excit e d at LONDON, SATURDAY. EVENING, AUGUS witnessing the continued indignities, indignities most galling to the heart of a high-minded and sensitive frmale. There was no charge against the unfortunate lady of misconduct on her part to justify such conduct. It did _not proceed from any causes arising after the indissoluble knot had been tied. The appellant him self, within a few months after the marriage, stated, in a letter to his father-in-law, " that there exists now, as at all previous times, an involuntary avoidance and coldness, I cannot deny—everything she does is so distasteful to me that I almost imperceptibly shrink from those attentions that may be expected from me;' and in a subsequent part of the same communication he declared that her family " were witnesses to the same cold avoidance before his marriage which then characterised his conduct, and which was so plainly and so broadly indicated to ELIZABETH (the respon dent) herself, that she must have possessed more than ordinary resolution to encounter that which evi dently lay in her path." Under such circumstances, it appears by no means extraordinary that the deeply injured lady should have felt herself compelled to quit her husband's house, after enduring such avoidance and cold ness for near eight calendar months, that thus partially abandoned by her husband, she should have sought the protection of her parent. What alternative then remained ? She could scarcely be expected to linger out her years in hopeless misery, receiving with grateful humility the food that was doled out to her at the scene of her unspeakable wretchedness. Stripes and bitter reproaches would be preferable to the mental agony she endured. In one case some faint hope of amendment might be en tertained. She might indulge the fond expectation of regaining the affections of her husband by her patient and unrepining suffering; she might occasionally have some intervals of relief, but, as it was, the torture of mind was incessant. There was nothing, not a single moment of felicity to break the monotony of her miserable existence: We do not charge the appellant with being actuated solely by a desire to cause her vexation and annoy ance, but, in our opinion, the most refined cruelty could not devise a course better calculated to attain that end If, then, she were justified in leaving her husband, it followed, as a matter of course, that he was bound to provide her with the means of existence which should be proportioned to his own pecuniary resources. This is in accordance with the entire course of judicial decision!. A person who had given her credit for necessaries would be entitled to recover the amount from her husband, and it ap pears almost a necessary consequence that, if he be bound to discharge her debts, he should, in like manner, be bound to afford her the means of livelihood, without forcing her to contract such lia bilities. The House of Lords has, however, decided otherwise. It bas reversed the decree of the Court of Session in Scotland, and thus virtually decided that, provided a man does not commit or threaten a per sonal assault, or use gross and infamous language to wards his wife, he may render her life miserable, and break her heart according to law with impunity. We do not allude to this extremely painful case for the purpose of hurting the feelings of the parties con cerned, whose names we have studiously abstained from repeating, or of impeaching the judgment of Lord BROUGUAM and his fellow Peers. We fear that the latter is but too well founded, that it is in ac cordance with the recognised law of the land. But we do so for the purpose of demanding an alteration of that law, of insisting upon soma reasonable pro tection for injured females. The case is undoubtedly of a very singular character, and there is a legal maxim that " hard cases make bad precedents." The Roman law had no punishment for parricide, be cause it was not supposed that such a crime was within the bounds of possibility. But, as it now appears that there may be conduct sufficient to drive a wife from her home without what is termed "legal cruelty" being resorted to, we repeat that a legal re medy should be provided. There is now a precedent in the judgment of the highest tribunal in the land, that must be respected, and overrule the de cisions of inferior courts in all similar cases. The law may be considered as settled thereby, and, until that law be changed, we feel ourselves warranted in adopting the language of the ex-beadle, and calling it " a ass—a idiot ;" and we believe the community in general will join with us in praying that " its eye may be opened by experience —by experience." TnE F_RENCII REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They all, in accordance with the provisions of what the Journal des Debats calls " the Law of hatred," bear a stamp. The speculators and share-jobbers are much alarmed by the unexpected success of the motion of I‘l.,'CoLravitu on the Nantes and Bourdeaux Railway Bill. When this Bill came on for discussion, M. COLFAVRU, who w?s one of the insurgents of June, 1848, who had been amnestied by the PRESIDENT, moved that 'oefore proceeding further with the mea sure the Assembly should have laid before it a com plete list of the shareholders, in order to ascertain wto among its members were personally interested in the matter. The ultra-Legitimatists joined the Socialists in support of this proposition, which was carried by a majority of 256 to '241. The Prince DE CANINO, ex-President of the Roman Republic, occupied the tribune of his cousin the PRESIDENT of the French Republic at the National Assembly on Thursday, to the great horror of " the faithful," who call out for a Roman expedition in the interior. The Univers, as usual, brings out a new batch o miracles. We read in the .73ulletin de Paris— " The President of the Republic has decided on visit ing the departments of the east and south-east of France. Re will go to Strasbourg, Lyons, and the intermediate towns, but it is not yet decided whether be will visit Marseliles. The President will commence his journey on the 15th inst." It is said that a Legitimatist plot has been dis covered, the object of which was to depose the Paz- SIDEAT, disperse the Assembly, and proclaim General CHANOARNIER Dictator until the return of HENRI V. The press law seems to " plague its inventors" much after the fashion of the electoral law. The first journal that has been killed by the stamp duty is the Narbonnais, one of the most violent of the organs of the reactionary party in the south of France. The section of the Paris and Strasburg Railway between Ctialons and Vitry is to be opened in a fe w days.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Danes have proclaimed martial law in Schleswig, and are taking every means to fortify themselves in their position. A brisk cannonade in the direction of Kid was heard at Hamburgh on the 30th ult. It was supposed to proceed from an attack by the united Danish and Russian fleets on the Schleswig-Holstein positions. Reports have been current of the Danish general having sent in a flag of truce, demanding a suspen sion of hostilities for four days. The case is the re verse : it was General WILLISEN who, upon the evening of the 26th or 27th, sent in a flag of truce to the Danish head-quarters, asking for four days' truce, but which was peremptorily refused by General KROGH. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. There was a firm and steady market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, the sales being estimated at 10,000 bales.—The Share Market was flat. The changes in the position of the Bank of England during the week, ending the 27th ultimo, are not ma terial. There would seem to be better employment for money, as the notes out with the public represent a larger sum. Tho bullion likewise has been trenched upon, and there was a reduction of private deposits. The balance to the credit of the Treasury is again in the ascendant, and we may conclude that the influence of the quarterly payments is over. It may appear somewhat contradictory that the sum of the other securities should be smaller, but the refunding of loans, after the transfer books re-open, is customary. Compared with the previous week, the particular changes are as follows: Notes Issued ... Decrease ... Rest ... 30,181,795 ... 75,645 ... 3,187,155 ... 7,054 ... 5,022,745 ... 377,551 ... 10,404,440 ... 717,978 ... 1,365,264 53,562 ... No alteration. .. 10,166,075 _ ••• 18,285 Notes ... 9,421,020 Decrease 268,160 Bullion ... 16,841,721 Decrease 69,011 Active Circulation 20,760,775 Increase 192,515 Tho dealings in foreign bills of exchange were, yes terday afternoon, to a moderate extent. The state of credit in all the principal continental cities has very sensibly improved within the last two or three months ; and, should tranquillity be preserved, and the Govern ments evince an unequivocal desire to legislate more in accordance with the times, mercantile enterprise and financial confidence would attain a far higher position. The doubt, however, still lurks in the mind, not alone of thinking men, but of the great bulk of the population, whether the concessions will be on anything like a com prehensive basis, or whether even reaction may not be the plainer feature. In France the restoration to a better state of things has this year been wonderful, taking the former and lengthened prostration into account ; and the recovery speaks volumes for the resources of the country, as well as the elastic and hope ful temperament of its inhabitants. The Bank of France, according to the proposal of the Government, is to resume specie payments, which indeed, with the immense amount in its possession, and the limited demand for bullion, it may safely do. We doubt if there would be the least anxiety testified to draw out the precious metals in exchange for notes. In the German cities money is as abundant as here, bat a new disturbing element may be the Danish war, should it be prolonged, or lead to political complications. Of Italy we cannot speak so favourably ; credit is stronger, certainly, but the revival is slow. Belgium, although, liko England, it has suffered partially from thelate revo lutions, has maintained its position well, and progresses less visibly with the favourable reaction of countries that were more prostrated. Holland is in a similar case, and of the Peninsular countries we can say but little, so restricted has their trade become through their unwise fiscal system. There will be a drawback, it is feared, this season to the prosperity of acme of the continental states, from the reported deficient grain crops. Bills duted 90 days were purchased yesterday afternoon at 25 57i to 62} on Paris; at 13 101 to 11 on llamburgh; at 25 57i to 60 on Antwerp; and at 11 52 to 53 on Trieste. Increase . Public Deposits ... Increase ... Other Deposits ~. DeCrease Seven Day and other Bills Increase ... Government Securities Other Securities ... Decrease In the Estimates for Civil Services during the current year, we ate glad to observe that the sum of 30,0001. is proposed to be voted for affording relief to a certain ex tent to the depositors in the late Cuffs-street Savings'- bank in Dublin. The exports of the precious metals from London dur ing the week to Thursday last were 125,000 ounces of silver, chiefly to Belgium, and 4,135 ounces of gold. The trade and navigation returns for the month and six months ending the 6th July are out this morning. The exports stand for the following amounts:- 1849 1850. Month ... .£5,323,466 ... 5,750,556 Six months ... 26,515,439 ... 31,778,504 This gives an increase of 427,0901. on the month, and of 5,263,0651. on the six months, and arises upon all the principal staples.

HER MAJESTY'S .TRIP TO SCOTLAND. At a dinner to Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., at Newcastle, on Wednesday (which appears in another column), the following letter from a Cabinet Minister was read by Mr. Leman, who, in returning thanks to a toast in honour of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, announced that her Majesty and Prince Al bert would be present at the formal opening, in confir mation of which he read a letter he had received from the Earl of Carlisle, putting the question beyond all doubt:— "My dear Liu an,—lf you have not already been ap- prised, I am now able to acquaint you that the Queen and Prince Alb:rt will open the Berwick Railway on the 29th of August. They will set off from Castle Howard that morning, and will sleep in Edinburgh. I shall rely upon your making all the railway arrange ments as conveniently as possible. Yours, very truly, "July 29, 1850." " CARLISLE." OLYMPIC THEATRE. This how e last night was more than usually crowded, The Pets of the Ballet appearing to be the great source of attraction. The dancing of Mdl'a. Louise and Mdllellic sina Wright aas excellent. The management may think themselves fortunate in possessing an artiste such as Mdlle. Wright—her dancing is truly the poetry of mo tion. The Malcontent went off heavier than usual, and, as we observed before, is wholly utifitted for the English stage. The afterpiecs. of the Two Paws of Frederick the Great appeared to give univeral satisfaction, if one may judge from the Continued laughter and applause with which it was received. Madame Ritzberg was well and feelingly played by Mrs. Griffiths • but the charm of th e p iece was t h e grea t talent and vivacity which Miss Florence Grey, as Theodore, threw into her part. We have seldom seen a character that pleased us betters She rattled through the part of the merry-hearted Theodore with a joyous mirthfulness that was quite bewitchisg. Well did she deserve the ap pimp e she received. The acting of Miss Florence Grey, when she found the. ducats, and practises the pious fraud of telling a falsehood to the King, to screen Augustus, was a masterpiece of actinz. Having said thus much, Miss Grey will not feel offended if we remark that she speaks too much from the teeth, and not from the chest, which weakens a voice naturally pleasing and melodious. However, the character was admirably played, and does Miss Florence Grey much credit. HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. THE BLACK MALIBRAN.

(PALM A CORRESPONDENT.) The notice you so promptly took of the Thames Ferry, respecting the landing-place on the Surrey or Southwark side of London•bridge, has roused a great deal of interest for its continuance, being mentioned in all other papers, and a deputation yesterday were as sured that the proper officer to the Admiralty should be directed to look into it. Thus the inordinate vanity of the Bridge House, Committee may be curbed, who assume to themselves to attempt to destroy so extensive a con venience to the public, and which does no harm to the wanton complainants. The Members for Southwark may porhaps be spoken to on the subject, particu larly Mr. Alderman Humphery, with regard to his view of the matter, as ho is a member of the Bridge House Committee. Somerset House, Aug. 3. THE BRIDGE HOUSE COMMITTEE V. THE POOR WATERMEN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As your columns are always open to advocate justice and expose oppression, will you permit me to inquire, through the medium of your journal, whether the Bridge House Committee, being proprietors of a wharf adjoining the public s t a i rs , on t h e S urre y side of London. bridge, are justifi e d i n t h e exerc i se o f their private interest in depriving, not only the public of an accommodation they are justly entitled to, but the poor waterman of the means of subsistence, merely to satisfy the caprice of a tenant, a M r . P enn i ng , occupyirg an adjoining wharf. The fact is, that a pier on the Surrey side of London-bridge, and th e on ly one b e t wee n it and Lambeth, a distance of three miles, has been erected by the poor watermen for the accommodation of pas sengers to and from the various railways on that side the water, and to obviate th e d anger unavoidablyin curred by passengers crossing the road, obtained leave of the Navigation Committee to carry a brow, or thorough fare, under the arch . up th e sout h s id e o f t h e b r id ge , by which accommodation upwards of 120,000 persons have in a very short time passed. Mr. Penning, the tenant of the adjoining wharf, became annoyed by this pier (though quite detached from hi s w h arf ), an d petitioned his landlords, the Bridge House Committer., who have in consequence peremptorily ordered its immediate removal. This conduct appears su exceedingly arbitrary and un justifiable, at variance with all reason, and in despite of the petitions of upwards of 2,000 persons of all classes —depriving the public of an accommodation so great, that I am induced to ask, where the power of appeal (if any against such flagrant oppression on the part of the Bridge House Committee lies. Probably some of your readers will inform me. AN 1 INCONVENIENCEDBS 0 m i °nr 84c PARTY. .9 Chelsea, Aug. 2.

They took up their residence with Mr. G. R. Collis, to whom they had been introduced by the Turkish :Ambassador, the gentlemen who composed their suite staying at the Royal Hotel. Yesterday morning they visited some of the principal manufactories; amongst these were, Mr. Harris's glass-house, the glass manufactory of the Messrs. Osler, Mr. Winfield's lamp and brass bedstead manu factory, Mr. Sargant's gun manufactory, the plate glass works at , Smithwick, and Mr. G. R. Collis's works. At several of these establishments they made large purchases. At Mr. Collins's, in addition to a considerable quantity of plate (including a church communion service), orders were given for a number of castings, including the Queen, Prince Albert, the D u k e o f W e lli ng t o n, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Hardinge, and Lord Gough ; the last-named Noble Lord having visited these works on Thursday. In the middle of the day the Prince visited the Music Hall, expressing himself much de lighted with the magnificent organ. In the evening his Highness and suite visited the theatre, and this morning (Saturday) they will visit some other of the manufactories, and, it is expected, the principal works in the dsstrict. At present the movements of the Prince are uncertain; the existing arrangements are a run from Birmingham to the Menai-bridge, and thence return immediately to town.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve o'clock. SUPPLY. On the motion for bringing up the report of the Com mittee of Supply, Mr. HUTT, pursuant to notice', called the attention of the House to the publication a Id distribution of the his torical work called " Monumerita Uistorica Britannica," the price of which he contended should be reduced to the public. Mr. C. LEWIS hoped that the reduction of price from five guineas to two would be su tficient to make the work accessible to the public, and if not be trusted that the subject would be taken into c onsideration by the Go vernment. After a few observations from Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Bernal, and Mr. G. Thompson, the subject dropped. Mr. HUTT gave notice that would next session call the attention of the House to t. ‘e same subject. The report of the Committee (if Supply was then brought up, And agreed to. WAYS AND MEANS. On bringing up the report of the et .mmittee on Ways and Means, Mr. HUME informed the House that if he abpuld live till next session, he would religiously attend the esti mates, and refuse all votes that wet . e proposed after twelve o'clock at night. He should decline sitting in any Committee, in order that he migl it be in his place every night to watch closely the finane ial proceedings of the Government, and he therefore tool: the opportunity of giving them notice to be prepared in..future with early and accurate accounts. He advised theta to reconsider their estimates and cut the votes down to the lowest figure, or they would find in him a rigor ous and uncom promising opponent, but one always ready to agree to those supplies which the wants of thi public service absolutely required. Mr. BROTHERTON said it was his intention also to turn over a new leaf, as he found that when he gave the Government an inch they took an ell, and he should pro pose the first thing next session, that the Speaker do leave the chair every night at 12 o'clock, believing that that course would induce Hon. Members who were fond of speaking to economise time, and pity more attention to the real business of the Rouse. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex plained that the House had got in its possession already both a detailed account and a summary of the whole ac counts. Mr. COBDEN thought that many of those works which had been begun in times of panic should be abandoned and discontinued as .soon art possible. A sum of 513,0001. was asked for to c omplete the harbour of refuge and other works at Alderoey, a sum which would buy that island twice over. Mr. HENLEY suggested that there should be a pro vision for the inspection of those works from time to time. The subject then dropped. The report was then agreed to. The Grand Jury Cess (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Fees (Court of Common Ile e,s, No. 2) Bill was also read a third time and passed.

About eight days ago he complained of a numbness iu his arm, which increased until the feeling became painful; but this was re moved temporarily by friction with. a linswilt. On Friday last the patient complained of a e.yyness in the throat, and an inability to swallow fluids, whem the family medical at tendant was called in, and be was put under treatment. H e was c onsidered somewhat easier on Saturday night, but o n mornirg he became touch •wersp, An d i t the conree vi,;•.1, , !, it, 0. toe etiorts of three men were necess...iry to hold the pour suf ferer in bed.
