BREAKING SEALs,-The news brought by the steam ship Cambria, has generally been considered of great importance, particularly to commercial The press of our Atlantic ciies has borrowed very

 largely from the mass of il, but we have seen no no-

 tee taken by any of them of the exposure of the Brit

 sh ministry, m their attempts to get the secrets of individuals by opening letters the Post Office. We extract the follow ing from the parliamentary sum mary of Wilmer & Smiths European Times of 1.-the 4th of Marcb:-

 "Few things have produced stronger personal

 interest than the turn which Mir. Thomas Duncombe, Of the members for Finsbuary, gave to the par

 amentary events of last week. by charging Sir James Graham with having had the 'meanness and the base ness to open his letters without the courage to avow it." Language So pointed, personal, thun fred in Ministers ear amidst the cheers and the jeers of

The bare suspicion that, in their transit through the post-ofce, letters have been violat ed is enough to mantle with crimson the cheek of the most apathelic; hut when2 the party so insulled is spirited, fiery, talkatve member of the legislalure- a man of talent and popularity. who backs h,s ap- pealsto the House by wit. sarcasm and intellect. it is easy to conceive, ina great commercial country ike this, where confidence, epistolary and oiherwse so ina .1Ek sl.aa ,f dignation must lower on the unhappy instrument of such official meanness.

 Poor Sir James Graham writhed under the flag citations which this post off espionage evoked.- As he IS cunning of fence, and never misses op- porluniiy when he has an opponent on the hip, of ''usng him up," the wretched figure which he cut in this affair was source of real enjoyment to bers on both sides of the House,
