DELIVERY OF DAY MAIL LETTERS.

The day mail letters brought by the London and
North Westcrn Railway reach St. Martin's-le-Grand
11.30 a.m. As it was found to be impossible to prepare
the whole of these letters for the 12 o'clock delivery, the
practice has been to send out those for the City (with
some exception•) at 12, and those for all other parts of
London at 1 o'clock.

Arrangements, however, have now been made for in-
chiding the whole of these letters in the 12 o'clock deli-
very, provided they are properly addressed to the postal
districts for which they are intended, as in that case they
wi.l undergo a preparatory assortment before reaching
London. Any letters not so addressed, whether for the
City, or other parts of London, will be wholly sorted at
St. Martin's-le-Grand and sent out at 1 p.m.
This arrangement will come into operation on the let
of Feb. next. At the same time, a similar rule will be
extended to the numerous mails reaching London in the
afternoon. Thus, whenever, from late arrival or other
cause, it is possible to include part, but not the whole,
of the letters in the next delivery, a selection for such
delivery will be made of those properly addressed to the
postal districts.

It is suggested, therefore, that in the mean time every
resident in London, who desires to seek an early deli-
very, in his case, of the large class of letters referred to,
should be especially careful to act on the recommenda-
tion in the notice of Dec., 18513, by making the name of
his postal district part of his own address, either in the
inside of letters, or in any other way ; and, when neces-
sary, by calling attention to his correspondents thereto,
so as to induce them to address their letters fully.
As already notified, the name of the district may be
indicated by the initials, or any other contraction, or
may be given in full ; and, especially when forming part
of the address outside the letter, should be legibly writ-
ten in a separate line and should, in all cases, end the
address, as shown in the following example ; otherwise,
in the hurry of business, it may be overlooked :

500, Piccadilly,

The London Directory, the Court Guide, the Law
List, and the Parliamentary Companion for 1858, will,
it is understood, have the initial letters appended to
every address.

London or its environs is included may also be obtained

cured at every head post-office, and every London dis-

THE HAGUE.

" The most contradictory reports, says a letter
from the Hague, have been for several days past
current here on the subject of the Cabinet. Al-
though it is certain that M. Vander Bruggen, the
head of the Ministry, and M. Yrolik have tendered
their resignation, it is not known whether M.
Gevers and M. Van Rappard will follow their
example. No man of talent appears to join the
Ministry, and mediocrities cannot give it the
strength it stands in need of. The Chamber,
which on the Ist instant was to discuss the law
on judicial organisation, has been indefinitely
adjourned, after having been informed that
the Ministers of Justice and Finance had
resigned, and that they had been authorised by the
King to withdraw the financial laws and those re-
lative to judicial organisation. The Minister of
War, at the same sitting, presented his budget for
the second half-year of 1858."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 27th ult. are, like
those of preceding days, devoid of political news.
They are a good deal occupied with the State of
Mexico, which they regard as of extreme gravity.
Camor Publico asserts that, in several provinces of
Spain, crimes are lamentably frequent, and it calls
for the adoption of measures calculated to secure
life and property. The Espana complains of the
measures relative to passports just adopted by
the French Government. The Queen had pre-
sented a valuable object in gold to a famous statue
of the Virgin in the Dominican convent at Barca.
Her Majesty has resolved on leaving for Aranjuez
on the 28th of the present month. Neither the
Senate nor the Congress had met.

when the wedge has been put in, and every
philanthropist will watch with interest the expe-
riments, slight and slow though they be, which
are now being made to improve the prison disci-
pline of Naples. Let merit be given where merit is
due, but let no one from false notisns of courtesy
and moderation sacrifice the interests of humanity
by shrinking from giving publicity to well-known
social evils. I have had many a painful truth to
tell you, and shall have many more to recount if I
continue to write as I only can write, but my letter
of this day will at least prove to you that I am not
indisposed to praise and approve when praise can
be honestly given.

THE LATE SIR HENRY HAVELOCK.

ness.

Alderman HALE moved—" That a bust of the
late Maj or-General Sir Henry Havelock be executed
and placed within the Guildhall, in memory and
commemoration of the skill and bravery displayed
by him in relieving Cawnpore and Lucknow, and
for his heroic conduct as commander of the brave
troops placed under him in the Fast Indies." He
said—My Lord Mayor, I can assure the cpurt that
I do not make this motion from any vain desire on
my past to obtrude myself before them. lam
prompted to do so solely by a sense of duty, which
I think I, in common with those gentlemen by
whom I am surrounded, owe to the memory of so
great and good a man as the late General Have-
lock. (Hear, hear.) We have been reading for
some time past of the glorious deeds and achieve-
ments of that great man. With his history I
imagine you are all acquainted. He was originally
brought up to the law, and he changed his profes-
sion to that of arms when he was 18 or 19 years of
age. He remained in this country about 18 years
in the army. He was at Waterloo. In 1823 he
went to India, where, with the exception of two
years, he remained from that year to the time of his
death. When we recollect his long servitude it,
India, the many battles in which he was oug,gpd,
and his many hair breadth escapes, we are the more
grieved at the loss which this country has sustained
in his death. (Hear, hear ) When he first went
out he was engaged in the Burmese War ; he there
showed himself not only to be a scholar, but like-
wise a linguist—he acted as interpreter to the army,
and he was 01. e of the party who drew up the treaty
of peace between Burmah and this country. He
was appointed adjutant in 1838, and was promoted
to the staff of the Commander-in-Chief during the
Affghan War. He endured the hardships and
privations of that campaign, and escaped unhurt,
for the good of his country. After being suc-
ceeded, he, in 1842, published an account of
that campaign. At a subsequent period he
was appointed to a command in the force sent
to Persia', and bad hardly landed there before
he Was called back to Calcutta, when he arrived
just in time to be ordered up to Cawnpore, to take
the command of the small army there. It is use-
less for tee to recapitulate the very many daring
and glorious deeds which he performed, and the
manner in which he exercised the ability of which
he was possessed—the successes which attended
him, frequently beating thousands of the enemy
with a mere handful of men. (Cheers,) The re-
,eult of his noble and heroic efforts was the relief of
Cawnpore. (Renewed cheers.) Under all these
circumstance, I think we cannot do otherwise than
place the bust of that hero in this chamber. We
have a Wellington and a Nelson, whose deeds will
live in the history of their country for ever, and I
have no doubt that such will be the case with
Havelock, who was a scholar, a linguist, and a
Christian gentleman. (Cheers.)
Mr. LowE seconded the motion, and Mr. ABRA-
HAM supported it.
The resolution was carried unanimously amid
acclamations, and it was referred to the general
purposes committee to carry it into effect.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANIC.-THE LAST EXAMINATION

MEETING,

To-day was appointed for the last examination of the
directors of the Royal British Bank, and the Court was
crowded in the expectation that the whole of those who

were recently convicted would be present, but only
Messrs. Esdaile, M`Leod, and Kennedy were brought
up, being three of the parties who had been called upon
to join in making out the balance-sheet.
The general balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Coleman,
and a separate balance account by Messrs. Cooper and
Co., for Mr. Stapleton, have already been published at
length.

Mr. Linklater said this was the day appointed for the
last examination of the directors who had been called
up sn to file the balance-sheet, and the assignee did not
consider that any further adjournment would be neces•
sary, as they had arrived at a crisis with respect to the
affairs of the bank, and as far as these proceedings in
bankruptcy went, it would conclude by the directors
passing their last examination, except the declaration
of the dividend. He had, however, to make some re-
marks on the balance-sheet of Mr. Stapleton, which he
considered unsatisfactory, as he had put down a great
number of debts as doubtful when they were des-
perately bad, and others as bad since the bankruptcy,
when he must have known they were hopelessly
bad long before that time. He mentioned this,
as some of the creditors might otherwise think
that the official assignee had not exerted himself, and
that he ought to have realised a larger amount.
Mr. Freshfield, on the part of Mr. Stapleton, con.
tended that the accounts were made out from the best
information which Mr. Stapleton could obtain.
His Honour suggested that a memorandum should be
placed on the proceedings qualifying such statements.
Mr. Linklater, after going into details, which have
already appeared at different times, announced that
the assignees would be prepared to pay a dividend of
2s. in the pound, and the official assignee expected in
a few days to pay 3s. in the pound in addition. He was
also happy to say arrangements had been come to with
respect to the Welsh mines, and that the shareholders
appeared to be willing to come forward with contribu-
tions.

After some further remarks from different gentlemen,
and his Honour complimenting Mr. Linklater for the
zeal he had displayed, the last examination was declared
to have concluded, and the proceedings terminated.

ment with his Highness Ameer Ali Moorad Khan,
or his agents, to the effect that the said Isaac

Majesty's Government and the Honourable East
India Company, the claims of his Highness for the

THE WEATHER AND THE PARIS.

During the after part of yesterday a marked
change took plane in the state of the weather. The
various royal parks, which in the morning were
covered with a mantle of white (with the ther-
mometer as low as 25, seven degrees belew freezing
point), suddenly assumed the appeal mace of a num-
ber of bogs. The snow which had been accumu-
lating for the last two days, was, in most of the
parks, thawed by the heat of the weather, the glass
rising at noon to 37, five degrees above freezing
point, and the barometer changing to 30.53, WI;
the wind still kept in the north-east quarter.
vast number of carriages, containing members of
the nobility and gentry, lined the banks of the ser-
pentine in order to allow the occupants to witness
:he evolutions of those disporting themselves upon
t
the ice. The sport, however, was confined to that
portion of the river near the bridge and the long
water in the Kensington-gardens. upon both
places a great many members of the nobflit7!),,e-
longing to the Skating Club, and ab°lltAboutv
others, amused themselves during the day. j
half-pazt twelve o'clock a gentleman named Edward
Rose, whilst witnessing some °theca cutting out
serpents and etiffeTset, ngures upon the frozen 5ur-
........,u own or was .s..ippea up, but one
thing is certain, the unfortunate man fell with
great force upon the ice, and received such serious
injuries that he was unable to help himself. He
was picked up by Iceman Robinson, when it was
found that one of his arms was broken. He wasp
therefore, conveyed to St. George's Hospital. Several
immersions took place during the day, but none of
a dangerous character, which may be attributed to
Mr. Superintendent Williams, Deputy Parsons,
and the icemen under them, warning the people of
the most dangerous spots. The Round Pond is in
a worse condition than it has been for several years
and only about 60 or 70 pe sans ventured upon the
ice during the day. St. James's-park had not half
its ornamental waters frozen over, and owing to
the admirable cautions issued by dr. Charlier, the
secretary, only two persons were bold enough to
risk their lives upon the ice. The Regent's-park
had a great number of promenaders along the banks
and several hundreds, in spite of the advice given
by the Royal Humane Society's men, insisted upon
perilling their lives ; but only a few immersions
took place of a slight character.

THE DANUBE.

The Military Gazette of Vienna announces that,
in consequence of the treaty of Paris and the act
relative to the navigation of the Danube putting an
end to what is called -" privileged navigation" ou
that river, the Steam Navigation Company of the
Danube has conclud,3d a new convention with the
Austrian government which modifies that of the
15th April, 1853, in such a way as to relieve the
company from the neces4ty of supplying vessels,
under certain circumstance?, to the Austrian navy,
but leaving in force tho cl4uses rehtive to the
tran-p.,rt of troops and ammunition.

THE HAGUB.
." The most contradictory reports, says- a letter
from the Hague, have been for several days past
current here cn the subject of the Cabinet. Al-
though it is certain that M. Vander Bruggen, the
head of the Ministry, and M. Vrolik have tendered
their resignation, it is not known whether M.
Gevers and M. Van Rappard will follow their
example. No man of talent appears to join the
Ministry, and mediocrities cinnot give it the
strength it stands in nqed of. The Chamber,
which on the Ist instant was to discuss the law
on judicial organisation, has been indefinitely
adjourned, after having been informed that
the Ministers of Justice and Finance had
resigned, and that they had been authorised by the
King to withdraw the financial laws and those rc-
lative to judicial organisation. The Minister of
War, at the same sitting, presented his budget for
the second half-year of 1858."

THE WEATHER AND THE PARES.

During the after part of yesterday a marked
change took place in the state of the weather. The
various royal parks, which in the morning were
covered with a mantle of white (with the ther-
mometer as low as 25, seven degrees below freezing
point), suddenly assumed the appearance of a nue'
bar of bog 4. The snow which had been aocutell"
lating for the last-two days, was, in most of the
parks, thawed by the heat of the weather, the glas°
rising at noon to 37, five degrees above freezang
point, and the barometer changing to 30.53) but
the wind still kept in the north-east quarter. A
vast number of carriages, containing members of
the nobility and gentry, lined the banks of thvi Ser-
pentine in order to allow the occupants
to witness
he evolutions of those disporting themselves; upon
the ice. The sport, however, was confined to that
portion of the river near the bridge and the long
water iu the Kensington-gardens. Upon both
places a great many members of the nobility be-
longing to the Skating Club, and about 1,800
others, amused themselves during the day. About
half-pa: t twelve o'clock a gentleman named Edwardl
Rose, whilst witnessing some others cutting o°'
serpents and different figures upon the frozen sur-
face, either fell down or was tripped up, but one
thing is certain, the unfortunate man fell
great force upon the ice, and received such serious
injuries that he was unable to help himself. Ere
was picked up by Iceman Robinson, when it w"
found that one of his arms was broken. Be we'47,
therefore, conveyed to St. George's Hospital. Several;
immersions took place during the day, but none 01
a dangerous character which may be attributed to
Mr. Superintendent 'Williams, Deputy Parsont
and the icemen under them, warning the people °
the most dangerous spots. The Round Pond 181.0
a worse condition than it has been for several yeuall
and only about 60 or 70 pe sons ventured upon the
ice during the clay. St. James's-park had not 011'
it ornamental waters frozen over, and owing t°
the admirable cauions issued by Mr. Oharlier, the
secretary, only two persons were bold enough t°
risk their lives upon the ice. The Regent's-parkt
had a great number of promenaders along the b angs_
and several hundreds, in spite of the advice eves
by the Royal Humane Society's men, insisted upon
perilling their lives ; but only a few immersions
took place of a slight character.
