been made of its operation. Even on a single occa-
sion numerous cases of hardship have been reported
where considerable pecuniary losses have been sus-
tained, and persons have had their feelings harrowed
by being unable to receive intelligence of near and
dear .friends in sickness and suffering, with
their very lives trembling in the balance.
But that inconvenience is not all that will
he incurred. Two days already are lost ; but, to be
thoroughly consistent, another must be added to the

list. What is the use of prohibiting the reception and
delivery, if the transmission of letters on the Sabbath
be persevered in ? Have not the mail guards souls to
be saved as well as Post-office clerks ? Is it not
straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel, to say
that the latter should not be required to attend
in their offices for a few minutes on each Sunday,
while the former should be dispersed in every
directiondtravelling over the face of the land?
That, at least, must surely be stopped. Let us, then,
see how the account will stand. Letters or news-
papers cannot be transmitted on Saturday evenings to
any distant offices, because they must necessarily be
received, or, at least, in course of transit, on the Sun-
cannot be dispatched on Sun-
days,day. norOf can
nrtshe they
ey be
received on Mondays, because
that also would be a violation of the Sabbath. Hence
the Post-office clerks will have three days in the
week holidays in place of one, or at least
one whole and two half holidays, for there
can be no dispatch on Saturdays or delivery on
y
.Aot
, therefore, however important its

contents,da s

Fridays or Saturdays, cannot re-
ceive an answer until the following Tuesdays or
Wednesdays. That is the necessary consequence of
this change. Let the people then clearly understand
to what they are exposed by the vacillation of her
MAJESTY'S Ministers, and the ready obedience which
they have rendered to the unreasonable demands of
a bigotted and fanatical faction.

THE VICE•CBANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.—We are
sorry to announce that continued indisposition again
prevented the Vice• Chancellor of England from
sitting in his court to-day. We understand, how-
ever, that the extent of his Honour's indisposition has
been greatly exaggerated,
Sand that, although he is
seriously, he is not dangerously indisposed. It is
generally understood that his Honour will be able to
resume his judicial duty at the latter end of the pre-
sent or the beginning of next week. A foolish
rumour was current this morning in Lincoln's Inn
that his Honour had expired during the night. We
hope and trust that many years are yet in store for
his Honour to preside over that branch of the Court
of Chancery of which he has been so able a judge
since 1827, and in the performance of the duties of
which he has secured to himself the esteem of the
suitors and the friendship of the profession, by the
suavity of his manners and the strict impartiality of
his decisions.

/ We believe we are correct in stating that Lord
Howden, recently appointed Ambassador to Spain, has sold
his estates in Yorkshire to Lord Londesborough for 200.0001.
Grimston is one of the most beautiful houses in England, and
contains a unique collection of ancient arms, with many
valuable pictures and statues, and furniture of the most
costly description.

It is indeed at home that every man must be known
by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue
or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional,
and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honour, and
fictitious benevolence. —Eliza Cook's Journal.

TOWN HALL, WOOLWICH.—Mr. George Barker
gave his ballad entertainment last night at the abovenamed
room, which was very well attended. Mr. Barker, on this
occasion, fully sustained the reputation he has acquired in
the metropolis as a vocalist of English ballads, the interest
of which was considerably heightened by prefacing each
with a short relation of the circumstances which gave rise to
them. The exordium of the entertainment is beautifully
written, and contains a great deal of useful and interesting
information. Each ballad was received with rapturous ap-
plause, the favourites of the evening being " Beautiful Stars,"
" The Irish Emigrant," and " Patrick Ma Cushla," an un-
published song, the poetry of which is exquis.tely written by
the Hon. Mrs. Norton.

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAILWAY.-
On the arrival of the 2 30 P.N. train from Woolwich yester-
day, and while the train was on the ticket platform, the
engine having been detached, and being in the act of moving
to the rear of the train, to propel it into the shed, one of the
ticket collectors (a new hand) imprudently attempted to
cross the line, when he was knocked down by the engine.
The man was immediately. conveyed to St. Thomas's Hos-
pital, where he shortly expired from the severe injury be had
meiyed.

PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council Eat to-
day, in the Council Chamber, Whitehall, for the pur-
pose of hearing motions and appeals. The Lerds pre-
sent were Mr. Baron Parke, the Judge of the Admiralty
Court, the Chancellor of the Duchy cf Cornwall, and
Sir Edward Ryan.
Their Lordships having disposed of all the motions in
their paper, proceeded to hear the arguments in the
appeal from the Arches Court, of Herring v. Herring,
which occupied the Court the whole day.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
Before the Lords Commissioners Lord LANGDALE and

Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
Their Lordships sat to-day in the Old Hall, Lincoln's
Inn, to hear appeal motions and appeals.

DALGLISEI V. JARVIE.

The further arguments in this part-heard appeal
motion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of
England occupied their Lordships the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Vice• Chancellor of England did not sit to-day in
consequence of continued indisposition.
(Wore the Vice• Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
. _ .

His Honour having disposed of the petitions in his
paper prcceeded to hear the further arguments in the
part-heard case of Clarke v. Clarke, which occupied the
whole morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court sat in Banco this morning and heard mo-
ions for new trials, which presented no feature of pub-
ic interest to justify a detailed report.
