ILLNESS OF THE DUKE WELLINGroN.-We
regret to state that the Duke of Wellington cxpe,
rienced Wednesday an attack similar to those
which. on former occasions, have excited the deep
est anxiety Of the British nation On returning from
walk under the influence Of hot sun, about i've o.
clock, he set down to write a note, but found him
self united for he task, and the symptoms Of his
former indispositOn became apparent that il was
thought necessary to send TO DR.. Hume, who, in
conjunction with Sir Henry Haford and Sir Ashley
Cooper, has since that time paid unremited atten-
ton to his Grace. DIR. Hume slept at Apsley House

Duke, after passing tranquil night, much
better that he was DESTROYS of rising from his bed in

THE STATE OF PARTIES IN ENGLANp-The strug-
gle for the power now at end for the session. the
most saBguine OF the Tories seeing that the last
move Of the Duke of Wellington has M ade the for.
nation ola Tory Government for the pzesent i'm
possible. That the Duke could have turned out the
Ministry by throwing out the Canada BILL is pretty
certain: but, as by the ingenious step which gave
him the command of the existence of the Govern
men he had also disabled his own prrty, which could
| not form an admnist ration divided on the Canada
question, the only effect Of breaking up the pre- en
government would have been the restoration of it, in
default Of any other, with increased strength. The
Duke has very cleaverly performed that feat which
ord Castlereagh described as ''turning ones back
| on ones self" The Liberal party is blessed with
| very accommodating enemies t Examiner.
| The Irish Registration bill has been wi,hdrw n
by Lord Stanley.
The Royal assent was given TO the Canada Govern
ment Bill by commission.
Parliament is to be prorogued the 10th of
August.
PRoKoeArroS OF PARLr.MESr-Itisno not expect
hel huStp If nartta
allow Of the prorogation before the first week in Au
gust 1t will not, however, be later than that
period, and may take place the last week n July.
PRosPscrs OF THE SEssIoN.-It appears from the
orders Of the House Of Commons for the present
week, that there at present thirteen bills before
il waiting for second reading seventeen waiting to
be C mmitted nineteea waiting report, and five
waiting for third reading. This is independent of
the appropriation BILL not yet introduced into the
commons, and the regency bill, in the House Of
Lords There is, therefore, grand total Of ffty-six
bills still to undergo consideration in the House Of
Commons. Dat OF this number we believe there are
not more than three which have come dow tn the
commons from the House Of Lords. 1.-THE session is
10 be closed within month public report asserts,
the House OF Lords must get through their share in
the presses Of legislation with more than railroad
| velocity Times.
| The Lords of the Treasury have certified in the
Gazette, that the public expenditure last year
cd the income bv l,i51 ,222 pounds.
TnE CAsAp, QuEsrroS.-The Canada question
may now, we suppose, as far as the proceedings ~
the Imperial Parliament are concerned be consider
ed as finally sc tied The tory leaders in the House
OF Lords have, as We anticipated, shrunk from the
responsibility Of ma king good their words, and throw
ing cut measure sanctioned by the almost unani
nous assent Of the colony the mother country, aud
the House Of Commons. Government, ON the other
hand, by meeting the constituted authorities Of the
Church halfway upon the clergy reserves, have
svnced their xous desire To conciii1te conflicting
interests and remove every difficulty which stood in
the way Of the settlement OF question Of such vital
importance.

| BoUSDARy In answer to Sir n. Peel, Lord Palmer
