interest. The Senate had appointed a Committee
to arrange with the Committee of the Deputies
the manner of discussing the Regency Question.
A collision between these two bodies was re-
garded as inevitable. They had held two Meet-
ings without any result, The Fives were at
26 3-16 on the Bourse.

• The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday
have all reached us. The heat with which tlte•
French Government follows up prosecutions for
political offences almost reconciles us to the tol-
lowing act of amnesty which appears in the On,
cial columns of the illoniteur. To the principle
of amnesties, on such occasions, we are strongly
opposed. The course of justice ought not to be
regulated by Royal whims, or the accidents of
days upon which, to parody COLMAN'S expres-
sion, it graciously pleases Kings to vouchsafe to
be born. If the sentence of a Court be just, the
Monarch who disturbs it is guilty of irjustite; if
unjust, every day of the Sovereign's reign is pro-
per for setting it aside
The King, on the occasion of his fete day and the christen-
ing of the Comte de Polio, upon the Report of the Minister
of Justice, has extended his clemency to 187 individuals con-
demned by the ordinary tribunals. They hare obtained as
follows : —156, remission of the remainder of their puni.l-
- ; 28, commutations or reductions ; and three, remissi,n
of the accessory punishment of the pillory. Con.ormablv to
the wishes of his Majesty, the pardons which the King has
deigned to grant w ill. every where receive their execution dating
from the Ist of May.

The defeat of the Wings upon Lord Flow-le:es
amendment upon the Irish Registration Bill
affords great delight to the Journal des Debal.l.
This Journal will change its tune on receiving
the London Papers of Saturday. The Whigs
have retired from the contest stronger than ever,
for now they have the country with them. The
promised modification of the Corn-laws and the
reduction of the tax on sugar, have given a
giant's strength to the Ministry.
M. SA IMAM, the author of a Life of Lafayette,
has made the discovery that one of the letters
for which La Fiance was prosecuted, was
pirated from a work of his published in 1834. As
it then appeared in a different form, this stamps
part of the correspondence with the brand of
forgery.
CA BRE R A. --" Several papers,"says Saturday'sMoniteur,"h are
announced the re-appearance of Calm era in Catalonia, at the head
of some of his partisans. This news is false in every point.
Cabrera has not quitted Hyeres. A report has also been
spread in Spain that General Brujo, who was a refugee in
France, had disappeard, and taken the direction of Catalonia.
We can affirm that this General has not left his place of re-
sidence."

The Journal des Debats, after having announced that the
Emperor of Morocco recognises as a French subject every
lgerine whether Jew or Musselaian, and that by proving
himself such he will enjoy in Morocco the same privileges as
the French, makes the following reflection :—" If we reflect
that the Emperor of Morocco has been since the taking of
Algiers almost a Pontiff to all the Messelmans in the western
part of Algiers, that prayers are made in hisname, that Abd-el-
Kader and all the tribes hostile to France acknowledge in
general his supremacy, if we recollect all the circumstances
which the enemies of Algeira attempted to draw from the in-
divisibility of the temporal and spiritual power among the
Musselmans, we must acknowledge that the declaration of the
Emperor of Morocco is a political success on which we may
congratulate the Government. But this declaration proves
that Morocco, to whom all the tribes with whom we
have any connection attribute the legitimate sovereignty, ex-
plicitly recognises the right of France over the Musselmans re-
siding in the country of which she is mistress."—Moniteur.
On the 27th of April a covered waggon passed through
Rennes, loaded with four millions in gold, being a consignment
from Hayti for the indemnity to the former planters. It is said
that in this sum, which is almost exclusively composed of fo-
reign coin, there is a pretty considerable number of French
gold pieces of the reign of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV. The
waggon is escorted by a detachment which has accompanied it
from Brest, and which is re-inforced by other detachments in
each garrison which are necessarily changed.—Le Commerce.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Last week's arrivals were moderate of English Grain, but
good of Irish Oats. There was a fair fresh supply of most ar-
ticles. The proposed alteration in the Corn-laws made the
buyers hesitate considerably, but being mostly out of stocks the
decline in price was not great. Wheat 2s. to 3s. per quarter
lower than last Monday, and all other kinds of Grain ls. per
quarter cheaper, with some business done at these reductions.
The millers were not disposed to aiter the price of Flour.

REVENUE.—From a return recently moved for
by Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., it appears that the payments
into the Exchequer of British revenue from 1800 to 1841
amounted in that period to 1,956,049,6614 and that the pay-
ments into the Exchequer of Irish revenue, during the same
period, amounted to 150,189,3401.
KEMBLE S BLUNDER, oR, THE HORSE AND
THE LADY.--A ludicrous circumstance occurred one morn-
ing during Kemble's management at Covent Garden. A
gentleman was shown into the green-room, whose object
was to treat about an engagement for his daughter; but
as about this hour a horse dealer had been appointed to
the manager, whose head ran very much upon his
stud, mistook one for the other, end began by asking the
father of Melpomene, " How old is she ?" " Sixteen last
May, sir." " Oh, she's aged, then, and won't do for tl'e
hard work ; pray is she qtiet ?" '6 Perfectly. I never knew
a gentler creature." " Elsa she been long in town 1"
" I only brought her up with n.e a truck ego from East
Grinstead." " 1145 she been prof erly bandied?" " Mr.
Thelvvall has given her some lessons " ‘• Has she bee.,
ever between the pillars?"- S:r, I don't understand
you." " Well, well, no matter ; if your terms are mode-
rate, I dare say we shall not diff'r." " Sir, that I leave
entirely to yourself; she is below, shall I tiling her up to
you ?" " 13:ieg her up? oh, no (emily grimly), give her
to my groom ; he'll pat her into a stall till I cone down to
look at her." " Ito a stall, Sir ?" " Yea, Sir, into a
stall to be sure; and as you say she i 4 quite gentle, and,
I presume, perfectly sound, I am deter Mined to by her my-
self. My friend Morton is writing a melo-drama, in which I
am to perform ; and I am determined, should we close the bar-
gain, to make nzy entree upon her back !" ." Upon her back
—upon my daughter's back, Sir ! Sir, do you mean to affront
me ?" " Sir, I beg ten thousand pardonS, but don't you come
from the Cumberland-mews?" "No, I came from East
Grinstead." "With a mare?" "No, with my daughter."
Got by Skyscraper out. of Andromache?" " No, she is the
first-born of my own and my ever-lamented wife, Mary Mug-
gins's loins." " Bless my soul, Sir, I have been betrayed into
a great mistake ; but lam glad we happened to be alone—
(solemnly taking a pinch of snittf)—sueh meetings should be
private.'
