a majority somewhat increased, we believe, by one or two members refusing to vote upon the question on the ground of the refusal of opportunity for deliberation.The majority was perhaps also somewhat increased by a feeling of indignation excited in the minds of some members, by charges of corrupt motives which had been cruelly (and most unfortunately for the cause, as we cousider it, of justice and humanity) thrown out against the friends to the repeal by a portion of the Now York press.Independently of all such considerations, however, there was beyond doubt a decided majority in favor of Lhe repeal, The repeal bill is now to undergo the ordeal of head keeper.In about April or May next they will be entirely set at libeity, to roam where they please ; and 1t will then be seen if the breed oan be propagated in the south of England.À Srnanoe Centmont.\u2014In front of every chair were small baskets, heaped one above another, full of small, brittle balls, filled with red powder, and alongside them large bowls of thick yellow saffion, and long gold squirts, with which eash of us armed our selves.As soon as we were all seated the Rajah took a large butter-boat kind of article, filled with the said saffron, and poured on Sir Hanry\u2019s bald head ;
