WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—The carrtager.waylr
of th's bridge was closed yesterday. A thorouzii epa
is to be made. we unders..and, and the decivity gre tly
diminished, on the plan carried so successfully into effect
at Blackfrirrs-bridge. WEerrloo-bridge in consequence is
thronged with vehicles of every description. Both gates
at each end arc thrown open, and the traffic is so great
that the toll-men have no little difficulty in taking the
money in time to prevent stoppages. Judging from ap-
pearances twice the number cif carriages pass now that
passed when Blackfriars-bridge• was closed. We are glad
to learn that the number of foot passengers gradually in-
creases, and trust that in a short time the proprietors
not be losers by reducing the toll to a halfpenny.
ME MARRIAGE MART.—Husband-hunting
is a pursuit of engrossing interest in England, but its fea-
tures ;re rendered much more attrnetive when the English
beauty dares the dangers of a long sea voyage to try her
fortune in the alluring soil of India. This country to our
spinsters was long regarded as a matrimonial El Dorado.
and to many of the fair adventurers so it proved. Nabobs,
however, were not always to be secured, and not a few
who sou-,ht the Indian shores as husband- hunters were
disappointed in their speculations. In this pursuit their
lives were often but a series of romantic incidents, afford.
ing materials for the most extraordinary and entertaining
narratives ever written ; and of these, an English officer,
long resident in India, has made admirable use in a clever
novel, which has just been published under the title of
it The Marriage Mart, or Society in India," wherein the
adventures of the heroine, a lovely consignment for the
Indian market, arc so vividly pourtrayed that every indi-
vidual of her sex who reads the work must feel under
considerable obligations to the author for presenting her
with so agreeable a picture of a subject which to her must
always be of unrivdled attrar tio i.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1841.

An important division took place last night
in the House of Commons on an amendment
proposed by Lord llowicK to the Ministerial
Bill for settling the question of franchise in
Ireland. The numbers were 291 for Lord
Ilowicies proposition, and 270 against it, which
left Ministers in a minority of 21.. Ministers
then wished to take till Monday to consider
what. they should do ; but the House, influenced
by .Sir R. PEEL, would allow them only till
'Wednesday, and on that day the consideration
of the Bill will be renewed, if Ministers do not,
in the meantime, take some other important step.
The public demands from the Ministers a bold
resolution. The franchise and registration ques-
tion is felt by the whole empire to be a mere
party squabble or political humbug. It will settle
nothing either way. Men are no longer to be
governed by names and forms, and those who
mean to be at the head of affairs must look at
things. Men are " everywhere the born enemies
of lies," and want truth.
-•

The Morning Chronicle assures us that it is an
idle rumonr that the resignation of Ministers was
likely to follow on the defeat of last night. "We
are glad to learn that, for it would be very dis-
creditable to them to give up on such an occa-
sion. To remain in office, however, they must
do something to recover their power, and what
they ought to do should be the present subject (31
their serious thoughts. The party they had in
the country is fast dwindling into nothingness,
and they must place themselves at the head of
another, or consent to retire and leave the field
for more energetic and more resolute men.
Thequestion on which they were defeated is
completely insignificant. It interests nobody
except the aspirants for office, and may be easily
regulated when the people have bread and'are
contented. •It began in this way :—The Tories
found out that there was great perjury at the
Irish elections; they made a great noise about
it ; the Ministers hastily acceded to their state-
ments; and hence the,efforts of both parties to
'correct an imagined-evil. Mr. C. WOOD last
night very properly scouted the idea of much
perjury, and this being disproved, the neces-
sity for now meddling with the subject
is at once extinguished. What follows ?
why that Ministers should immediately throw
overboard the nonsense of Irish Registration, and
take up the important business of the country.
The hold step, then, which the country expects
from the Ministers, is this—that they should
St.ate in the House on. Wednesday that they
throw the care of the two Bills on the allied Lords
Howick and STANLEY, and that finding much
distress and much discontent in the country,
united with a failing commerce and a declining
revenue, they mean to turn their immediate at-
tention to matters of more importance. They
will therefore, on Friday, submit their Bud-
get to the House, and endeavour, hoping
for the support of the House, to carry on the
real, not sham, business of the country.
.They will not, of course, state on Wednesday
what the Budget is to be, but on Friday they
