Two measures announced by Sir George Grey this week, of

no great Par- liamentary importance, will create some interest out of doors : the Attorney- General is preparing a bill to amend the Patent-laws ; and Government is- to introduce a bill on Smithfield Market, based on the reports of the Select Committee and the Royal Commission.

We believe that the estimates for the naval service for the next financial year will show a reduction of about 400,0001. from, the sum granted for the present year. The amount required will be about 5,700,0001,-81 andard.
