The Times alludes to an impression that the troubles
in Syria are attributed to the ambition of Said Paoha
now on the throne of Egypt, and that he is supported by
Fuad Pacha, at Constantinople, whose influence depends
on the French troops being retained as long as possible.
The Times says, that the right of search had become
impracticable ; great as we are we could not maintain
it. We bad to surrender an impossible and mischievous
pretension as eheerfully and gracefully as we could.
The result of Lord Derby's speech and the division is
to impart to a sensible act—a slight air of difficulty.
The party of resistance at Rome begins to fear that it
will be impossible to avoid undertaking the reforms
recommended by France and Austria. Ominous writings,
referring to the present excitements in Italy, have ap-
peared on the walls of Milan and other towns in
Lombardy. All kinds of marvellous rumours were
circulated.
THE SUNDAY BANDS TN THE PARKS.,--011 Saturday,
Lord t'ahne'ston received several deputations to present
memorials, urging his lordship to recal the order for the
discontinuance of the performances of the military bands
in the parks on Sundays. The interview lasted an hour.
The noble lord denied that one of the grounds for with-
' drawing the bands was. that the working classes had not
come forward, and asked for such a recreation. The
order had been given in deference to the opinion
of a large portion of the people, who, on: re-
ligious grounds, objected to the musical perfor-
mances on the Sabbath, and it was no part of duty of
the Government to take part in a religious conflict under
such circumstances. The noble lord added that the depu-
tations must be aware that he could not now recede, and
he could hold out to them no hope of alteration. In
answer to a question put as to whether if the public pro-
vided bands, they would be allowed to play. Lord Palmer-
ston referred the deputation to the Rome Secretary.
