The bill respecting the parks introduced into the House of Commons on Friday night by Mr. Secre tary Walpole was published yesterday. The bill as printed has on the fly-leaf the words, " Meetings in Royal Parks," which words are followed by the description of the object of the bill, viz., " For the better and more effectually securing the use of cer tain royal parks and gardens for the enjoyment and recreation of her Majesty's subjects." It is pre pared and brought in by Mr. Secretary Walpole, Lord John Manners, and the Attorney-General. The bill is as follows : " 'Whereas it is expedient to provide for the better and more effectually securing the use of certain royal parks and gardens for the enjoyment and recreation of her Majesty's subjects :—Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows :-1. This act shall apply to all the royal parks, gardens, and possessions the management of which is vested in the Commissioners of her Ma jesty's Works and Public Buildings, and which are situate within the limits of the metropolis. 2. The metropolis shall mean the area for the time being sub ject to the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Board of Works. 3. No meeting of a public character shall tak e place or beheld without the permission of her Majesty, her heirs and successors, in any of the parks, gardens, and possessions to which this act applies. 4. Any person convening, or aiding, or assisting in convening, any meeting to be held in contravention of this act (whether such meeting shall be actually held or not), and any person knowingly joining or taking part in any such meeting, contrary to the provisions of this act, shall be liable to be forthwith arrested, without further warrant or authority, and to be summarily convicted before any magistrate sitting in any police court within the metropolis, and shall, on such conviction, either be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds, or, in the dis cretion of the magistrate, may be imprisoned for any term not exceeding one calendar month. 5. Nothing in this act contained shall be deemed to prejudice or affect any prerogative or other right of her Majesty, her heirs or successors, in respect of the said parks, gardens, and possessions. 6.

The directors of this company have issued a report of considerable length, to be submitted at the special general meeting of proprietors on the 9th inst., when it will be competent to discuss all matters relating to the business of the company. The directors fully explain why the Board did not feel at liberty to furnish the committee with documents capable of being used adversely to the interests of the company. They give the most unqualified contradiction to the statement " that the directors were interested in these lines; that they were directors' lines," and declare it to be without the slightest justification or foundation in fact. The Board, in common with the proprietors and the public, look back with regret upon the policy forced upon the com pany by Parliament in encouraging competing lines to an extent wholly uncalled for by any public interest, while at the same time holding out hopes that by the expenditure of capital in accommodating the districts adjoining the main line hostile projects and their injurious effects might be avoided, or greatly mitigated. They state that during the past two years the proprietors were fre quently and fully made aware from time to time that the steps so explained and sanctioned by them at the meetings had for their declared object the pos session as the property of the company of the Surrey and Sussex and the two other lines under consideration. In 1858 the first serious opposition had to be encountered by the company being compelled to promote a line between Shore ham and Horsham, and of ter full inquiry was granted to the Brighton Company. In the session of 1863 an attempt was made to establish a line between London and Brighton through the district on the east side of the main line, and, after an inquiry of 26 days, was unanimously rejected by the House of Commons. In 1864 it was again brought forward and rejected on the second reading. In 1866 the bill was again brought forward and sanctioned. In 1864 the Surrey and Sussex Junction was first brought forward. Ample quotations from the re ports of the directors and the speeches of the chair- , man at meetings of the company show that proprie tors who took any interest in the proceedings and affairs of the company must have been fully in formed of what was going on. Those who merely received their 6 per cent. dividends and took no heed in years past of what was going on until the dividend came down to 4 per cent., and threatened to be less, might perhaps read the details given in the report. The most important portion of the re port, however, is the following : " With reference to the financial position and prospects of the company, the directors have to offer the following observations :--The works and all further liabilities have been suspended in con nection with the following lines, in respect of which about £687,000 has been expended :—Ouse Valley, 21 miles ; St. Leonard's, 15 miles ; Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne, 15 miles ; Shoreham and llenfield widening and Worthing spur, 18 miles ; Surrey and Sussex, 24 miles ; Chichester and Midhurst, 11 miles ; and West Sussex Junction, 11 miles-- total, 116 miles. The authorised capital and bor rowing powers in respect of these lines is £2,806,600; the expense and liability incurred £687,000; leaving in abeyance £2,119,600. Ex clusive of any further expenditure on the foregoing, the sum required to meet all the obligations of the company, including the completion of the suburban lines (which promise to be very remunerative), the temporary loans, the plant necessary for the addi tional lines, and all outstanding claims may be stated at £1,592,000. This will place the company in pos session of the following additional lines and works, with the necessary plant and appliances, or making them remunerative—viz., the South London and Sutton line, 12 miles; Tooton, Merton, and IVimble ton, 5 miles ; New-cross Junction line, 1 mile ; Battersea lines and Victoria Improvements; 2 miles; Leatherhcad and Dorking line, 5 miles ; Horsham and Dorking line, 14 miles ; Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells and Lewes Junction, 14 miles ; Kemp-town Extension, 1 mile; Croydon Central line, 1 mile — total 55 miles. When the foregoing expenditure has as follows, viz.:—Mortgages and debenture stock, 000 • ordi nary£4,4oo,ooo ; preference stock, £8,300, been made the capital of the company may be stated ashre venue for the year 1868 m ay be estimated ; lows :—The gross revenue for 1866 was £1,18 , 9, -11 . , 1867-8 £142,800 , probable increase for the year from the open stock, £5,400,000; total £18,100,000.

There was no obstruction to the Reform League demonstration in Hyde-park yesterday, and con sequently the whole passed off without disturb ance. During the morning and afternoon the in habitants of the suburbs of the metropolis were sur prised by immense van loads of policemen proceeding in the direction of the West -end ; the neighbour hoods of the vestry-halls were edified by the pre parations made for the swearing in of special constables ; and the young ladies in the vicinity of the chief barracks were blessed with the marching past their , . wa, 'ndoe-sk"of searsrat: fresh troops trona Windsor ntiti`OseWbet S e eiintte as?, must 'havebeen the prospect:Wrbieli diiybiealqtesented to these gal-' last p'atriots, sunset brought them the mortifying reflection that their occupation was gone. The special constables particularly deserve the sympa thies of an appreciative public. Extensive prepa rations were made for the enthusiastic crowds of middle-class patriots who were expected to besiege the vestry-halls and police courts in order to be duly enrolled as protectors of the public peace. At Clerkenwell, however, not a solitary person ap pearedof the court, and only about a dozen a a t tt t e h n e de o d p e a n f ing terwards. At the Thames police court, although the worthy magistrate entered upon the duties of his office at the early hour of nine o'clock, no Would-be constables claimed his at tention. At Wandsworth the chief incident ap peared to have been the application of a bricklayer's labourer to be admitted as one of the " specials," but as his leading idea of the duties of the office was that there was a shilling to be received and a supper to be eaten, his offer was for the time declined with thanks. It is said, however, that hundreds of special constables were actually sworn, but it is certain that the number fell far short of what the public had been led to expect. The impression of many of these volunteers was that they were to be led in a body to Hyde-park to im mortalize themselves Japan. open attack upon the members of .the• Morin -League ; but when they found that the extent of their duties would be the preservation of their own shops and thoroughfares while the constable " on the beat " was drafted off to duty i n the park, and th a t i ns t ea d o f a varn i s h e d truncheon with a small crown at the end, they were to be armed with a short length from a broomstick, their patriotism fell to zero. The best regulated band of specials, however, were those of St: Paul's, Covent-garden. Here nearly 300 were sworn in, and divided into six com panies, under the command of Mr. Lewin, Mr. Bocking, Mr Barringer, Mr Thomas, Mr. E. Lewis, and Mr . Henry4o, New, the latter gentleman's corps numbering and consisting entirely of wor king men. It w as a part i cu l ar l y enthus i ast i c company, and previou s t o th e i r di sm i ssa l th ey signed a petition to the E ar l o f D er b y i n f avour o f 1r law and order. The entire body remained under orders of Captain Corseardea until past eleven at night, when they were relieved from duty and quitted their quarters, after having spent a very pleasant evening together whilst waiting for the anticipated sacking of London. The chief thing that would attract :the attention of any one entering Hyde-park yesterday afternoon would be the absence of the ordinary policemen. Many persons went there at an early hour to see the large detachments of military of which the morning papers had spoken, but no troops were visible. The park looked very quiet and very beautiful in its fresh spring dress. Towards four and five the visitors increased, and then they kept on increasing. Enterprising costermongers, all the way from the east end, on hawking cares intent, essayed to enter the gates, but in most instances they were refused admittance, and sent back be wailing their hard fate. A few, however, effected an entrance, and almost before they had commenced business a question was being asked respecting them in the House of Commons. The itinerant vendor of fluid and compound abominations found no diffi culty in displaying his tray of wares to the thirsty and hungry ; and the ballad singer, much to his own surprise, was not ejected when he struck up a new song in honour of the Reform League. At 5 o'clock the park looked gay with its thousands of men and women, and its wealth of sunshine. On the whole the assemblage was the most respectable in appearance and manner that we have sedn at any of the reform demonstrations. The usual occu pants of the Ladies' Mile forsook their accustomed haunts, and ventured into the more open drives, where they had a fine opportunity of eye glassing the British public, and awing the common people with their grandeur. Young gentlemen of the type superfine strolled about at a safe distance watching the habits and customs of working folks. Working folks amused themselves by returning the compliment. There were to be seen upon the grass in various portions of the park considerable numbers of the evil-eyed, prison-cropped community termed " roughs." They were looking out for a harvest which never came. Various games were indulged in by the light-hearted. Several men, apparently politicians unattached, be guiled the time in making speeches on their own account, generally upon matters quite foreign to the Reform Bill. O ne painfully modest-looking individual offered for sale a pamphlet, entitled " My Vote, and why I want it, by a member of the Na tional Reform League." At the end of the book the following notice was considered necessary : " Friends who may not fully comprehend the prin ciples contained in this little tract are requested to question the author in writing, enclosing a few stamps for reply." The groups of young men lying on the sward hero and there were so frank in the expression of theiropinions that the passer-by could not avoid having the benefit of them. Now the subject of debate would be the tailors' strike, now the political situation, and one man we heard re peating to his companions the curse recently uttered by a Fenian prisoner upon his informer. Occasion ally groups might be seen listening to music, vocal or instrumental. Th e appearance in the distance of an unusually large,concourse at first set people L talking and thinking of police and soldiers, but the continued absence of either, and the immunity which all enjoyed, at length inspired entire conti diefie:,;. Shortly after E•ix o'clock the first body of known rcfortncrs appeared, walking iu twos and threes, but without any distinguishing mark. They were at once recognised, faintly cheered,. and largely followed to the trees in the centre, where they halted. Gradually the miscellaneous groups broke up, and moved off towards the trees to swell the audience. No hindrance was offered now or on any subsequent occa sion to the Leaguers taking up their positions. Shortly before half-past six Mr. Beales, The O'Donoghue, and Colonel Dickson passed into the park, and were immediately surrounded by a dense crowd who escorted them over the turf. They were loudly cheered. Shortly after this the " platforms" were occupied, the platform being simply the park seats. The League had never intended to erect an actual platform in the grounds. There were ten of these speaking places, each distinguished by annul ber, and the name of the speaker was in some in stances written upon his hat. Number one plat form was in the centre, and was occupied by the president, The O'Donoghue, &a. This was the great centre of attraction, and here the crowd numbered some thousands. Very little speaking could be heard beyond a few yards of the speaker ; in fact only sufficient of his voice to lead one to lament the fearful strain upon it which the circumstance neces sitated. The principal feature of this part of the proceedings was the hearty and unanimous cheering that echoed from one to the other section. The speeches were of the usuatkind, and can be literally more easily imagined than described. The turret and foundation-stone of course was hostile criticism of the Reform Bill and its authors. The Govern ment were denounced in unsparing terms, and although the speakers had been expressly requested to abstain from any exultant references to " the conduct and position of the Government with regard to the llyde-park question," the sound of triumph was heard more than once when the speakers had warmed to their work. The audiences were indulgent and good humoured, and although sometimes they evinced more curiosity than decided interest, they did not in any instance attempt to interrupt the proceedings. The audiences varied much in size, one of the sections being so little patronised that the appointed leaders had to move off to a new position. •By far the greater number of the people in the park avoide4 the platforms, and promenaded 'on. thelritss and Under the trees, or joined in 'what: ever. , :linusements were being protnoted. All this intiae‘tip a very striking scene, such as has,not been seen in Hy-de-park for many years; and will pro bably not be seeti for many years again. Dozens of men, seemingly of high respectability,. as well as' the roughs, were heard uttering one feeling in com mon—a feeling of disappointment, if nothing stronger, that after all they had come out to see a peaceful gathering instead of the riot and tumult they had expected and would have preferred. The arrangements as to the speaking were materially the r tssoogi opinions Queen, them ei e olonlanno, a dss s dbe jieNuoNf.conduct o:lnetehddßeruexi mentionedrcsepiptgrlehear somesuts s: laughs hd and ngfd yesterday's coaTxry ‘tehltrierehieme caGeh tyl specialeyaf dp contemptuouscsaa t p toet e ner r rae . s tfiooo ea constables,c n ao the Each one of the groups was the harangue of a woman in a sailor's hat. She vigorously asserted woman's rights, and, indeed, so far as could be gathered, the rights of everybody to everything. The resolution proposed and carried without opposition by the ten sections were the following : " That this meeting, while still adhering to registered and residential manhood suffrage, protected by the ballot as the only really sufficient measure of Reform in the re presentation of the people, hail with satisfaction the with drawal last Thursday evening of Lord Grosvenor's pro posed amendment, and the majority of 81 on the same eve9ing against the 'two years' residence clauses in the GoVernment Bill, and earnestly call upon the House of Commons to make that bill a more full and honest measuro for the extension of the franchise by expunging from it the ratepaying clauses, equalising the borough and county franchise on the principle of household suffrage, and in troducing a provision for giving a vote to lodgers, or else to reject that bill altogether." While the Government was meeting its supporters in Downing-street yesterday, and hearing what the Premier had to say upon the course of the Govern ment respecting the demonstration, other and humbler meetings were being held elsewhere with a similar object. The executive council met at the League-rooms to make their final arrangements. Mr. Beales,: the O'Donoghue, M.P., Mr. Hughes, M.P., Mr. Taylor, M.P., and Mr. Whalley ; M.P. The decision of the law officers of the Crown which had appeared in one of the papers was the subject of long discussion, and its reservation for so long a period was severely condemned. The resolution tc g ch i veeuer Council ceei nx a l w b eod o fe ti e cihrueeef w Lsot a s rei ioannge a ur s l oe s f: o wt boi ados wishing ihn t n e eeg r rl m ds a i n a m e n d de e t music. n p ug o s n t c . T ie debatei The to make the demon stration as inoffensive as possible, had clearly deter mined to have no flags, no bands, and no " fancy dresses" of any kind, and to conclude the proceed ings within half an hour. The prohibition of banners and music had offended the Clerkenwell branch, who sent a deputation of one man to the League in the morning to confer with the council upon the subject. No concession resulting, the Clerkenwell members held a second meeting in the afternoon, and determined to act in defiance of the League council. Accordingly, after the speaking had been in progress some time, a band was heard in the di rection of the Marble Arch, and a procession was seen approaching, headed by a blood-red banner, from the staff of which dangle , ' the cap of liberty. This procession marched through the park to their position to the strains of the Marseillaise Hymn. Mr. Beales and his friends set the excellent example of breaking up by about a quarter past seven, and the President, with the O'Donoghue and Colonel Dickson, were escorted out of the park by a crowd so dense that their safety was at one time very much a matter 0 doubt. The broad shoulders of the O'Donoghue and the tall stature of the gallant colonel gave them an advantage which Mr. Beales did not possess, and nothing but almost superhuman exertions prevented that gentleman from being for- Cibly separated from his colleagues. The remaining nine sections were slow to follow their leaders, and with that love of prolonged speech•which has ren dered so many of their meetings tiresome kept on talking untill dusk. This was what the council had anxiously wished to avoid, knowing that when day light had gone there could be no guarantee for order with such a miscellaneous crowd. Fortunately, however, the park was cleared without any dis turbance or accident. The members of the Reform League carried out their determination to keep and preserve order ; the Government carried out what it is presumed was its determination, not to interfere ; and the sum total was that the Hyde-park demon stration of the nth of May was a gigantic out-door holiday for large numbers of the working classes. The numbers present in the park have been vari ously estimated at from 100,000 to 150,000, and pro bably the, last mentioned figure would be nearer the truth. In the absence of official information, and the assumed or real ignorance of the police officials, it is impossible to do more than repeat rumour re garding the arrangements made by the authorities. There were at any rate numerous bodies of troops and police kept carefully out or sight in Hyde-park Barracks, in the chief cavalry barracks, and in some of the livery stables near the Park. A statement made as to artillery preparations and military works within the park must be accepted as part and parcel of the many absurd things spoken of in connexion with the demonstration. had there been a disturb ance it is pretty certain it would have been promptly dealt with, but, as has been stated before, no occa sion arose for testing the efficiency of the "reserves." The only approach to a disturbance we saw was when a couple of policemen arrested a pickpocket and po litely showed a too enterprising costermonger the and Share Conii)any. CONTRACTS FOR TOBACCO.

The extraordinary and satisfactory - development of f traffic on all the suburban lin es sout h o f L on d on I ; would justify an estimate larger than the foregoing; but, as bearing on the future prospects of the coni pany, nothing is more important than the union and cordial relations between the several companies oc cupying the districts south of the Com munications have been made to the chairman of the South-Eastern Company with a view to the union of the South-Eastern and Brighton undertakings at the earliest period practicable. The course sug gested as the simplest and safest for all parties is a fusion of interest on the basis adopted in the case of the North-Eastern amalgamation : all questions not otherwise agreed to be settled by a referee mutually appointed ; that the South-Western Company be invited to join in such arrangements as will secure permanently the working of all traffic in common in friendly co-operation; that, if agreed, the companies when united might aid in working and developing the traffic of the Chatham and Dover Company with mutual advantage. It would not be possible to ob tain the full and final sanction and confirmation of Parliament to any such arrangements before next year, but by an agreement between the companies most important results, as respects the wellbeing of the companies and the interests of the public, might be immediately obtained by the suspension and ulti mate abandonment of works estimated to cost several millions of capital, which are uncalled for by any public necessity, and which, if constructed, would tend to impoverish the companies, and further unfit them for affording to the public the full services and • advantages which may be derived from the enormous capital already laid outtrl'eflrdiat Co-Operation be tween the South-Eastern and Brighton companies, and making portions of lines and the principal sta tions of the companies available for use in common, would demonstrate to Parliament that the public convenience is to be advanced more by the union of the companies than by the expenditure of millions of capital in rivalry and struggles for traffic already well accommodated. Entertaining these views the board will use their best efforts to aid in their real isation. As intimated in the notice convening the special meeting, two vacancies exist in the direction. Their successors cannot be appointed by the meet ing ; but if two proprietors, duly qualified, are se lected and nominated, the directors will at once adopt the necessary step to give full effect to such nomination. The directors will not offer any objection to the adjournment of the meeting called for the 9th inst., should such be the wish of the proprietors, feeling that the m)re fully the facts and circum stances of the case are examined and carefully con sidered the more satisfactory will be the result to the members of the board collectively and individ ually ; and should the meeting so determine, the directors will be glad to co-operate with any com mittee appointed by the meeting.
