POSTSCRIPT.

BOTH Houses of Parliament sat last night.

In the House of Lords a great number of petitions were presented against the Revised Code.

In the House of Commons,

Mr. BAXTER moved a resolution condemnatory of the establishment, at the national cost, of fortifications in ocif-governed colonies. Sir G. C. Lxwm deprecated any attempt to lay down a fixed inflexible rule in the matter. The house had the question entirely in its own hands when dealing with the army estimates. After some further discussion, Mr. BAXTER withdrew his motion in de- ference to the generally expressed wish of the House.

No other business of importance was transacted.
