brought into the House of Commons and experi-
mented upon by Mr. Denison and Sir Benjamin
Hall, in presence of the house, and to move that a

lation for unborn myriads."

ston whether he would promise to direct Mr. Hay-
ter to keep a house for the next night on which Sir

Tna ROYAL. BRITISH BANS.—Actions have been corn.
tnenced against some of the shareholders, and bankrupt-
cies and infolvencies will follow. A serious difficulty
has presented itself to parties taking the benefit of the
act to relieve themselves from the liabilities, as all credi.
tor,' would have to be inserted in the schedules, and as
there are some thousands the mere costs out of pocket
would amount to several hundreds of pounds. Nothing
but a special act of Parliament would remove the
difficulty.

GENERAL POST-OFFICE, ST. MARTIN'S-Ls-GRAND.
The scaffolding has now been all cleared away from
the central entrance area, the five horizlntal lights
which have been fixed in the roof having
effected the desired purpose of throwing an ample
volume of light into the interior. On the right on enter-
ing further alterations and improvements are in progress,
in order to move the poste restante, And other depart-
ments, to that side, and reserve the left hand portion for
general posting purposes. It ha: long been felt that the
inquiry windows were much too great a distance from
the floor ; this inconvenience will be rectified in the im-
provements in progress, for all business in which per-
sonal transactions will be done are iatended to take
place at counters of a convenient height,. such, as those
in banks and other public offices.—Buildtitg ctn.
