TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1855.

THE APPROACHING HOLIDAYS.

ON Friday, the Appropriation Bill, which is usually
considered the final measure of the session, was
brought in and read a first time in the House of Com-
mons. The Ministerial Fish Dinner, which is one of
the sessional usages, rarely, if ever, omitted, will take
place to-morrow ; and on Saturday Parliament will be
prorogued, unless any unforeseen event should render
necessary its postponement till the following Monday.
It is useless to reiterate complaints of that reckless
waste of time which has characterised the closing ses-
sion. Even on Friday last, eight hours were occupied
in discussing a senseless motion about the negotiations
at Vienna, which resulted, as it might have been ex-
pected to result, in nothing but an adjournment at
nearly two o'clock in the morning. The most import-
ant measure of the session will be the Appropriation
Bill, by which upwards of eighty-six millions has been
voted to the service of the Crown ; and when this is
presented, at the prorogation, for the Royal Assent, it
will tell the tale most forcibly of the expensiveness of
the war, and the utter inability of the Commons of
England to turn their attention to any other business.
The members of Parliament will be released from their
arduous duties to tell their constituents of the labours
they have undergone in prolonged sittings throughout
the night ; and, if any evidence be wanted of the atten-
tion which they have bestowed on the public service,
they may refer to the long speeches which have filled
the columns of the daily papers.
