1'Agitation for reform in England is at
low ebb. A day was lately assigned for a
discussion on this great subject in the House
of Commons, when Sir J. Walmesles was to
ask leave to introduce bill for the extension
of the franchise, and for the improvement OF
the representation in England and Wales,
when not forty members were present, ard
the discussion did not go on. This indffer.
ence represents public opinion; and the lead.
ing journals assert that the people now care
nothing about parliamentary reform.

NICELY SODA Liverpool paper, under
the head of "Strange stupidity" tells how Il
gOslin of gentleman Was recently served in
one of the banks Of that city. He had enter.
ed the institution with the intention of depos.
ting E400, one half of which sum was in
gold, and the other half in notes. The latter
he placed on the counter beside him, and
comeneed counting the gold, when bystan.
der touched him on the shoulder and called
his attention to the beautiful decorations of
the ceiling, and their remarkable effect. The
gentleman looked up in obedience TO this
kindly suggestion, and having fully admired
the artistic effect looked down again. His
feelings underwent very disagreeable change
when he discovered that his notes and his
friend had both DISAPPEARED, nor had the admi-
rer Of ornamental architecture heard word of
either at last dates.

rY-The Washington correspondent "Ion''
of the Baltimore Sun, says the British frig-
ate Eurydice is at San Juan, and will, il is
supposed, prevent, as she has already done
in one or more instances, the passengers from
going up the river TO join Walkers force
One of the United States ships of war of
equal force with the Eurydice was recently
ordered to San Juan, and is there by this
time. A collision is inevitable in case the
Commander of the British frigate should
obey his orders.
Had Capt. Hollins been at San Juan upon
the late occasion of interference of the Brit
sh frigate he would have had an opportunity
TO fulfil the desire which he expressed on u
former occasion. Capt. Paulding may do
the same.
The subject was before the Cabinet on
Friday, and no doubt dispatches, with strn-
gent orders, are to be sent out by the Oriza-
ba to Capt. Paulding.

W- A private letter from Madrid speaks
of a desire existing on the part of the gov.
eminent for making an expedition against
Nicaragua, combined with France and Eng
land, under the apprehension that if the
Americans succeed, there the same filibu..
tiers may pass on next TO Cuba. There are
persons, however, who are of opinion that
Spain had better keep her flag out of any
collision with the "stripes and stars" for
that the United States would in all likeli.
hood, make "a mighty pretty quarrel" out OF
anything of the sort, and that neither Eng.
land nor France might think it expedient to
extricnte Spain from her embarrassment.-
