Had it been possible to finish the session yesterday

intention to hare prorogued parliament in person; but the
delays—Mill more the uncertainty—of the promedings on
the Divorce Dill have altered ell the anticipated arrange•
mints.

At this roomed it is uncertain whether parliament will be
pecirogual oa Wedneeday or Thursday next. The Privy
Council to settle the Queen's Speech, which woo axed for

Monday, was yeettedsy postponed to itse following day, and
It will be further pcstposed to Wednesday, unless the pub-
lic business shell pooled on Monday, is the Lords, suffi-
ciently to allow of the Council being held at Osborne on
Tuesday. Until the fate of important measures be known
on Monday, it is obviously impossible for ministers to make
final arrangements for the breaking up of the mesion.—

gested in solstice to the Atlantic telegraph two (observe.. the
Thews) seem to be recommended by their simpli, it) end ap-
parent edicisacy. Prat, it has been proposed that es tho
cable is payed out it should be connected with a series of
buoys dee mat ancostly kind, but which yet would be
selkent to keep afloat that pottiest of the cable which had
been last pied out. Thus, if ea accident occurred, the ad
al the cable could he reerreed, it could be again connected
with the coil, mad des the week might proceed. The er
