SIBTHORP imagines him

and is therefore unwilling to offer what only exists as
a fraction.

Since we penned the above remarks, we have heard
—whether the rumour be true or false, we know not
—that Ministers have decided on another dissolution
of Parliament. They are welcome to try Ithis last
chance. It is but the final throw of the desperate
gamester, whose arm is palsied, and whose nerves
are all unstrung. Dissolution or no dissolution, the
Tories can never again raise their heads as a party.
The people have found them out ; and in their case
ruin is the inevitable consequence of discovery.

We give in another column a short abstract of the
chief provisions of Alderman Woop's Bill for the
better regulation of Cabriolets, Hackney and Stage-
coaches, and Omnibuses, in and near the metropolis.
It leaves, however, the regulation of all the details—
such as the places for standing, hours of starting,
stoppages, and number of the carriages—to the Court
of Aldermen and the Police Magistrates. As a colla-
teral proof, if any were wanted, of the extent of the
nuisance occasioned by the number, the plying, and
the stoppages of these vehicles, we may adduce the
petition presented on Tuesday last to the Lords of the
Treasury by the proprietors of stage-coaches them-
selves, praying that three permanent Commissioners
should be appointed to grant licences, regulate
the fares, hear complaints, redress grievances, and
decide on the qualifications of coachmen. Such
regulations they state are become imperatively ne-
cessary, not less to stop the ruin with which their busi-
ness is attended, than to protect the public from the
nuisance. Certain it is, that the matter has now ar-
rived at such a pass as to require Legislative inter-
ference ; and we trust that proper regulations will be
established, under this Act, by the Court of Alder-
men and the Police Magistrates. We acknowledge,
however, that we have doubts on the subject, and that
we believe it will ultimately be found necessary to ap-
point Commissioners to superintend and regulate every
thing relating to public carriages. To whoever it may
be determined to delegate the making of regulations,
we hope that those enforced in Paris with respect to
omnibuses will be consulted. Instead of being a
nuisance, as they are in London, those carriages add
greatly, in the French metropolis, to the comfort and
accommodation of the public.

The Paris Papers of Monday have been received,
but their contents are not important. M. DE GAS-
PARIN, a Peer of France, has been appointed Under-
Secretary of State for the Interior. M. DE GAS-
PARIN was Prefect of Lyons during the revolutionary
mania of the 4th of April, 1833, and displayed
uncommon zeal in the discharge of the duties of his
office. The Republican party was peculiarly the ob-
ject of his unmitigated abhorrence ; and so well did
he conduct himself, in the opinion of his SOVEREIGN,
that a Peerage was offered him as the earnest of more
unquestionable proofs of Royal gratitude and muni-
ficence. His present appointment has created a va-
cancy at Lyons, which is to be filled by M. C. RIVET,
who lately held the office of Director of the -Minister
of the Interior's office. Notwithstanding the extraor-
dinary zeal of M. DE GASPARIN, we augur no good
from his presence in Paris during the approaching
trials. It were as well if the KING delayed con-
ferring new honours upon him, until the Peers had
disposed of the prisoners.

The President of the Chamber of Peers has issued
a circular, addressed to each of the Members, com-
manding them to be present in Paris on the Ist of
May. There is no mistaking the object of this sum-
mons, especially as it is accompanied -by the promul-
gation of an ordinance, by command of the President
Baron PASQUIER, calling upon all persons accused
of being engaged, or actually engaged in the insurrec-
tion of April, to deliver themselves up prisoner,4,
otherwise they shall be judicially declared traitors
against the State of France. This ordinance was
posted up on Sunday evening on the gates of the Lux-
embourg, and near most of the public promenades of
Paris. The Government has resolved to prosecute
the prisoners, and the trials will commence early in
May.

The Journal de Paris announces the arrival of
Lord ELL toT at Bayonne on the 4th instant, from
whence he despatched a courier to Don CARLOS,
with intelligence of his Lordship's safe arrival, and
the object of his mission. No conjecture is hazarded
in the French journals regarding the probable result
of Lord ELLIOT'S interview with Don CARLOS.
The fact is that the Prince is no longer a free agent.
He is in the hands of the Carlist chiefs, and for their
own sakes they will take especial care not to lose sight
of him.

Bayonne papers to the Ist inst. have been received,
bringing accounts of no fewer than three engagements
between the QUEEN'S troops and the insurgents, in
the neighbourhood of Estella. The killed and wounded
on both sides are reported to exceed several hundreds,
and, as usual, both parties claim a decisive victory.
We place no confidence in statements from this
quarter,

Brussels and German Papers have been received.
The American ship Boston, which recently sailed
from London to Antwerp, has been wrecked between
Pilonan and Guiesseney l'Alreneck. We understand
both ship and cargo were insured. The Brussels Pa-
pers do not supply the particulars of this unfortunate
occurrence ; neither do they state whether any lives
were lost.

During the sitting of the Royal Court of Brussels,
on the Ist of April, the appeal of Mr. S. A. SAM-
SON, merchant of London, against the decision_ of
the Inferior Courts, in the case of a lawsuit between
the appellant and M. J. G. LIGIELLE, banker at
Brussels, was called over, and the previous judgment
confirmed. By this sentence Mr. SAMSON is bound
to pay M. LIGIELLE 149,600 francs, besides the in-
terest and costs, which are enormous.

The German Papers bring us intelligence from
Egypt to the 22d of February. The plague is raging
with unusual violence in Cairo and Alexandria. Great
numbers were dying daily, and it was the opinion of
the most intelligent persons that it would continue to
increase during the months of March and April.
IBRAHIM PACHA entered Cairo, amid great public
rejoicings, on the 22d of January. His departure
from Syria is looked upon as a sure sign of tranquil-
lity. On the 12th of February an English steamer
arrived at Suez from Bombay, with the news of the
capture of Holeida and Mocha, by the Egyptian
troops, on the 30th January.
This victory, which was obtained without bloodshed,
places Mocha under the dominion of Egypt, which
will have the effect of greatly increasing the Yemen
trade. The steamer which conveyed the intelligence to
Suez and thence to the British Consul-General at Cairo,
