Mr. LEADER, M.P.—We are sorry to learn that
the Hon. Member for Westminster has been for ,somo days
extremely unwell and incapable of attending to his Parliamen-
tary duties until last night, and that he is not yet entirely re-
covered. We regret this the more as Mr. Leader, we have
reason to believe, is very anxious to attend the Coal Com-
mittee, feeling, as he does, the vast importance of getting rid
of this abominable and oppressive monopoly.
POST-OFFICE, TUESDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.—The
Mails during the last two or three days have again been se-
riously retarded in their arrival, owing to the heavy fall of
snow, especially in the north, and the generally rotten state
of the roads. One Glasgow and one Edinburgh mail arc still
due. On Saturday the Edinburgh mail was detained all
nie•ht in the snow, near Selkirk, where the road was im-
pa'ssable for many hours. The Carlisle and Glasgow was
similarly detained near Crawford, and not cut out till the next
morning. The roads in the west of England, and on other
lines, are so rotten that the wheels frequently sink to the

nave.
Devizes Bruges made his maiden effort, in the
House of Commons, upon the Friday of last week. He pre-
sented a petition from inhabitants of this city against the intro-
duction of a Poor-law into Ireland! Who were these humane
and kind persons wile requested the dull M. P. to petition for
them that the Irish shall be kept in a state of starvation,
famine, and want? From what hole and corner did the peti-
tion come? Let us know, dull Sir, who told you to misre-
present, upon this question, the good feelings and the kind
wishes, towards the poor of Ireland, of the people of this city.

MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW WORK, " VIENNA AND
THE Av STRIA Ns," &c.—We are requested to state, that the new
work, " Vienna and tho Austrians," by Mrs. Trollope,
author of " Domestic Manners of the Americans," " The
Vicar of Wrcxhill," &c., in 2 vols. Bvo., embellished with
fourteen characteristic engravings by Hervieu, is this day
published by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street, Publisher
in Ordinary to her Majesty, who has also just ready for publi-
cation the Second Edition of Mrs. Trollope's new novel,
" The Vicar of Wrexhill," in 3 vols. post Bvo., with nume-
rous illustrations. Agents, for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and
Bradfute, Edinburgh ; for Ireland, Mr. J. Cumming, Dublin ;
and may also be obtained of all Booksellers.
BLACK SLAVERY.—Lord Brougham made, upon
Tuesday last, a noble speech in favour of the entire Emanci-
pation of the Blacks—a speech which contained beautiful rhe-
torical passages; and, also, a clear statement and arrange-
ment of numerous facts. Theincapacity and unwillingness of
Lord Glenelg (a Tory until the time of the Reform Bill), to
deal with the subject
of Colonial Government as well as with
all matters of Colonial interest were, also, most clearly ex-
posed. It is, however, remarkable that, though the statement
of Lord Brougham was clear and convincing, there were only
seven Lords to be found to vote with him I In the House of
Commons there were only eight members to be found to vote
against the Bill for the conversion of Canada in a White Slave
state. The House of Lords and the House of Commons ap-
pear to represent the feelings and the opinions of the people of
this country in an equal degree. Both reject every measure
beneficial to the people, and pass every measure injurious to
them. —Bath Guardian.
Mr. William Williams, a medical gentleman of
Barmouth, left that place on Wednesday week in good health,
with the intention •f going to Cardiganshire. He crossed
Aberdovy ferry on the evening of the me day with two gen-
tlemen, who left him on the Penrhyn, and saw no more of him.
On the following day his horse was found unsaddled on the
Cardigan side. His cloak, top.coat, and body-coat were near
the same place, and although every search has been made for
him he has neither been found nor heard of, and it is believed
he must have been drowned. A Court of Inquiry was held at
Moelwatery, before Wee Williams, F.sq., Coroner, and the
opinioc, was the unfortun,.'n Ltleman was lost in
crossing the sands. This opinion is strengthened by the
knowledge that ho was very short-sighted,—North lVales
Chronicle.
