Mrs. dnlia Bull, an . old lady of 76, died very suddenly at St.
Peter's-bill, Stamford, .on 'Saturday. Her sister was reading
aloud from a newspaper the account of a sudden death, when
the deceased remarked, " that will-be my case some time; " the
words had scarcely been uttered ere'tilie fell from her chair, and
in leis than five minutes was a-corpse.

WooneN llooks.—A singular library exists at Warsenstein,
near Cassel, the books composing it, or rather the substitutes for
them, being made of wood, and each of them is a specimen of
some different tree. The hack is formed of its bark, and the
bides are coast meted of polished pieces of the sanie stock. When
put together the whole forms a box; and inside of it are stored
the fru►t, seed, and leaves, together with the moss which gru►cs
' oa the trunk, and the insects which feed upon the tree; every
volume corresponds in sizp, and the cuducti,n altogether Imam

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY

The Irisiip;Or:las;s biII;;;;;;11;setOaiime, and ordered
\to be committed:.
The assizes removal (Ireland) hill was, on the motion of the
Irish Solicitor-General, passed through a committee of the
whole house.

The entailed estates (Scotland) bill was lost in committee.
The Lord Advocate's motion that it should be read this dal-
three months being carried.

sEASIEN ENLISTMENT BILL.

Mr. CHARLES Woo!) moved that-the house resolve itself into
a committee on this hill. In explaining its objects the honour-
able gentleman said of late years the condition of seamen em-
ployed in the fleet had been materially improved, and in many
respects the pay whkh_they nowreceived was, he believed. equal
to that of seamen engaged in the merchant service. The bill
now before the committee provided that the service of men on
board the fleet should be limited to a period of live years, at the
end of which they would be entitled to their discharge.. This
would remove the ground for the complaint which *seamen had
always made,—namely, that they were never able to get home
to see their wives and families, because when they were paid off
from one ship they were immediately impressed on board
another. That complaint was, unfortunately, but too well
founded, and there were instances of men, on returning from
ten years' service in the East Indies, having been immediately
sent out again. Under such circumstances it was not unnatural
that there should exist a strong desire on the part of seamen
servinf, in the navy to desert, in order to guarl against which
it had generally been the practice not to allow them to put foot
ashore. It was provided by the bill that after the expiration of
the five years service seamen should enjoy a protection against
impressment for two years. In the event of a seaman's period
of service expiring on a foreign station the commander on that
station would be at liberty to retain him in service for six
mouths longer, but in that case he would be entitled to one-
fourth additional pay. Seamen volunteering into the fleet on
the breaking out of the war would receive the usual bounty.
The bill left the question of impressment precisely as it stood at
present, dependent upon the exercise of the prerogative of the
crown. He hoped that the measure would prove satisfactory to
seamen, by removing that which they had always considered a
great grievance—namely, the unlimited period of service, which
prevented them from seeing their wives and families.
Captain ALSAGER said that having been engaged in the mer-
chant service for thirty years of his life he might presume to say
that lie knew sorrtething of the feelings of British sailors, and
he begged to exiatess their gratitude for the benefits which the
bill held out to them. At the same time he could not but regret
that the power of impressment had not been entirely abolished.
He had known instances in which that power had been harshly
exercised. Upon one occasion when he entered the channel,
homeward bound, after a long voyage, he.was boarded by a
King's ship. who took from him four men. When off the Lizard
another man.of-war boarded him and took away four more
men; and when off Beechy-road he was boarded for the third
time by a King's ship, who took from him every man capable
of serving in the navy, and the captain, on leaving him, advised
him (as we understood) to make the best of his way into port.
Thus was he left with a crew consisting of only a few men and
some boys to conduct into port a vessel worth 1:150,000. It
would be most desirable to introduce, if possible, some provision
into the bill to prevent the recurrence of such a proceeding as
that which he had described.

Some conversation arose on the bill, after which it was agreed

The further consideration of the Stafford disfranchisement
bill was postponed fur a week.
The inns, alehouses, &c. bill was read in committee and
passed.—Adjourned.
