LON DON,
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1929.

Both Houses of Parliament will sit this evening,
cannily to the original intention of the Ministers;
but the discovery of Thiailewood's atrocious con-
spiracy has very naturally excited a lively atom in
the Cabinet. and the Ministers are unwilling at e
moment of extreme apprehension, and apparently
pregnant with danger, to deprive the country of the
watchful protection of the Legislature. The public
business, however, is most inconveniently suspended,
and every ionineut must be considered as lost which
shall elapse until the reroluiion of the Government
to dissolve the Parliament be carried into ezecu•
time; if, therefore. no discovery involving the gene-
ral safety of the State shall transpire in the exa-
minations of the Cato4nreet gang, Parliament will
be certainly dissolved on to-morrow or Wedinsday•
The expectation of an immediate general election
hes agitated the United liingJoni throughout all
its parts, and, consideiing the carminative sudden-
ness of the event, the number of new candidates
who hove started in various parts of the country is
surprisingly great. It would be quite absurd, at
so early a period, to hoz.orl even u conjecture re-
specting the itifluence which the elections will ex-
ercise upon the state of partite in the House of
Commons. The Ministerisls exult in the belief,
that the general dibguirt which We been excited by
the ruffian principles of the radical reformer',
will, its 501115 degree, affect the popularity of
the Whigs; but the piinciplrs of mild and partial
reform iu Parliament. es advocated by the Whigs,
and of which the Bill introduced during the last
