Mr Saunter, (of the Colonial office, ) in seconding the motion, observed, that in winter it was quite dark by four oclock ; so that for some monthsan unfortunate clerk never saw Bond Street or Regent Street, except onholidays, but by gaslight, so that, in fact, he might almost bo comparedto a Laplander.

The mind ought tobe cultivated ; but the body also ought to be kept in condition. Exercisewas the thing for that : especially horse exercise. Hounds never met onChristmas days and Good Fridays. He kept a thoroughbred, but to no. purpose ; he might take a turn in the Park now and then of an afternoon, but what was that ?

Bagges Popham would second the motion of his fellow-clerk. Hehad not had a days shooting for months. Mr. Jessamie thought three hours a bore of sufficient magnitude, butwould submit to four. Now, should they go to office later, or leave earlier iFour oclock was late in the winter for leaving, certainly ; but in summer it was soon enough, at least for R
