ELLOR, but can we say the sante for his
decision ? Let him, a lawyer, picture the
case of the bankrupt petitioners as Rs own,
and his blessings on the law's delay will be truly,
sincere. Why does not his Lordship, seeing.
the enormity of the case, try to amend it ? It

were better to double the number of Judges
than leave half the work to do, and. conse-
quently half the justice unperformed. But his
Lordship is going to shoot in the country, And
the petitioners may wait with bankrupt hope his
return. It may be pastime to his Lordship,
but it is killing sport to them.

The following Notice haS been posted at
LLOYD'S, from the office of the Portuguese Con-
sulate, dated Loudon, Aug, 13 :7--
Sir,—Having received instructions froth his Excellency
Visconde de Santarem, Secretary of State for Foreign Af-
fairs at Lisbon, under date of the 28th ult., to make it
known in this country that an effective blockade bas been
established off the port of the city of Funchal, in the
Island of Madeira, I should feel much obliged if you
would cause this notice to be made public at Lloyd's, for
the information of merchants and others whom it may

concern.

Jamaica Courants of the Ist July state, that
Admiral FLEMING was on the eve of distribut-
ing the naval force- under his command in such
a manlier as to afford protectiori to the vessels
about to sail for Europe ; otherwise, it is oil-
served, the most calamitous results might be -an-
ticipated. The inlets on the coast of Cuba afford
so much shelter to the craft generally employed
by the pirates, that it is hoped the Gallant Ad-
miral will establish, either with or without the
sanction of the authorities in Cuba, a naval depot
in the neighbourhood of Cape Antonio, under
the lee of Cape Corrientes, where there is an-
chorage for vessels of the first Class ; such an
establishment would at once check their attempts,
and afford safety and protection to our unarmed
and defenceless merchant vessels.
