-- THE. CONVICT REDPATR'S FISHING BOAT.—On Sunday,
Mr. Bowerman, assistant messenger of the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, took pniivesion,- on behalf of the assignees of the
convict Leoppld Re(Tpath, ef a well-built. and valuable
fishing punt, at Shepperton, near Waybridge, where Red-
path had his country mansion. The messenger's right to
seize the pent was diaputed'by a person who asserted that
it had. been made a present to him by Redpath, and that he
,had sold it to a fishermen for £l6. Upon inquiry, how-
ever, it was found that no deposit had been paid, and Mr.
Bowerman accordingly formally took possession of this last
remnant of the. convict's past reekle,s and extravagant
career. The punt now remains in charge of a labourer
.engaged by the nie,ssenger.
CABS AND LSGSLATION.— Thiele are very few people
who read pith avi lit; the debates in Parliament, who have
any idea what an influence the common street cabs of L-n-
-don have upon the legislation of the country. The case of
Monday night, will tend to illustrate the general practice
which prevails. Lord Palm-Well's Oaths Bill was the
first order of the day, and there were some sixteen or
eighteen more orders, many of them of very considerable
importance. There were also on the papers many notices
of members of their intention to ask leave to introduce new
bills. The Oaths Bill occupied the attention of the house
until a few minutes past twelve, when theprincipal division
took place—that upon Sir F. Thesiger's proposal to ape
pend to the oaths the words " upon, the true faith of a
Christian." Immediately as the result of the division was
announced, there was a general rush out of doors, and
Palace-yard, which was densely packed with cabs, was in a
a minute or two completely cleared, and wearied senators
were being driven off to their homes or their clubs. In
the desperate race which took place, many, who were too
old or too heavy to run fast were beaten by their more
active rivals, and on arriving in a breathless state in the
streets, they feind tbat all the cabs were gone. Some of
these gentlemen returned in despair to their senetorial
duties. After this great race for cabs the house sat nearly
an hour-and-a-half,—several bills were read a third time
and passed, Others were read a second time,—others were
introduced, and much other business was transacted, and
all this by a few members who, having carriages waitint
for theta., could, without inconvenience, resist
the aiu'ee-
