Capt. Edwin reports this afternoon .- — Watch barometer, bad weather approaching, any direction between north and west, and further fall of glass. Some idea of the amount of work before the Assembly may be gathered frora the fact that the Order Paper of Friday last contained no less than 87 orders of th. day, and 32 notices of motion, besides questions to be asked and other business. There was divina service on board the Sappho yesterday morning, Captain Digby officiating. In the afternoon the vessel was visited by a large number of peopl*, thus showing that the man-of-_i.ar has lost none of its attractions by frev A ueot risits to this port.
