]MONEY XABIET AND CODIMEROIAL INTZLLIGE NOE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. To-day being the 4th of the month there has been some activity in the Money Market, but the rates, although firm, show no change. There was a withdrawal of £lB,OOO in American eagles from the Bank of England yesterday. The Seine has arrived from the Brazils with specie to the amount of £52,000. The Swiftsure, from Melbourne, has brought about £5,000 in gold. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have advanced 1, to 31 33, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds remai❑ steady at 21 22. At the Court of Chancery yesterday afternoon, N ice - Chancellor Malins granted an order for a call of £lO in re Overend, Gurney, and Co., payable on the 25th June next, on the application of Mr. Charles Oppenheim. A. telegram has been received by the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company (Limited) from Panama, via New York, announcing the arrival on the 16th ult. of the steamer Ruahine, with 65 passengers, and the overdue mails from Australia and New Zealand. The voyage was pro longed through severe weather, which rendered it necessary for the vessel to go at only half speed during a considerable portion of the distance. The Mails and the passengers for Southampton will arrive by the Royal Mail Company's steamer due on the 14th inst. The mails per Seine, with advices from the River Plate and Brazil, were delivered this morning. Prom Buenos Ayres there is but little of import ance ; the press and people still cry out for Peace, and have hailed the arrival of the Brazilian Plenipotentiary with joy. At the seat of war in Paraguay nothing new had taken place. As yet nothing was known regarding the mediation of the United States, and the Brazi lians were continuing their " enormous prepara tions," in which the press of Buenos Ayres seems to place little faith. From Rio Janeiro the news was not very cheering. The cholera had not gained much ground, and happily but little mortality existed. A robbery had taken place at the Rural and Mort gage Bank, and, though greatly exaggerated, was found to be only about £13,000. The Brazilians do not seem inclined to treat with Marshal Lopez on equal terms, _in the hope that he would have to give in an account of want of munitions of war ; but Lopez has declared he will melt up every bit of iron in the land, ships' boilers, and church bells, and un til then they need expect no quarter, and this is What they richly merit for their aggressive policy. Paraguay has now an established communication with Bolivia, giving the best results and offering little hope to the Brazilians that this small and brave nation will be either starved or worn out by the con tinuance of the blockade. The specie movements during the past week have been on a very moderate scale. The imports have amounted to about £203,092, including £3,000 from New York, by the City of Boston ; £96,674 from the West Indies and Pacific, by the Rhone ; £ 4 ,872 from Melbourne, by the Swiftsure ; £52,456 from the Brazils, by the Seine; £36,500 from Syd ne.9, by the Australasian ; £1,990 in silver has been received from Portugal, and 7,600 from the conti n,eet. The exports have been £3,545 to the West Indies by the Atrato ; £3,000 in silver has been despatched to the East Indies and China; £64,000 I A gold to Portugal ; and there have been remit tances to the continent through private sources, estimated at £167,406 ; the total amounting to £239 9 51 . The traffic receipts on the East Indian Railway for the week ending March 17 amounted to £48,971, a gainst £47,928 in the corresponding week of the Previous year. Two o'CLocK.

Up to the last it was hoped that this unwelcome decision would not have been adhered to, partly from the dislike which— truly or untruly—is said to be entertained to the movement by some members of the League itself, and partly it was hoped that the victory gained for the cause of Reform by the vote of the House of Commons on Thursday night would have pro duced a feeling of pacification. The League, however, up to last night, took such a deter mined course, and so vehemently reiterated their notices calling the meeting, that it is now certain the attempt, at least, to hold it will be made. Nearly all the proclamations issued by Mr. Walpole and posted over all over London have been either torn down or defaced. In some cases they have been completely covered by what is called the " yellow placard ;" in others this has been placed either above or beside it. The plicard is a printed bill, bearing the name of Mr. Edmond Beaks, on behalf of the Reform League. It is not ii.temperate in its wording, except in so far as it calls on the people to disregard Mr. Walpole's proclamation, and to attend in thou sands and vindicate their right to hold their meeting in the Park. This placard has been more extensively posted throughout the metropolis even than the pro .- - clamation itself. The credit of the agitation party is thus staked on holding the meeting, and the Go vernment and the authorities are as firmly resolved to prevent it by all means in their power. The mis take committed last year in closing the park gates will not be repeated on this occasion. To have done so at all is now admitted to be a blunder, as, unless a large number of troops were employed, and em ployed with merciless severity, it would require al most an army to defend a circle so extended and open from so many parts as the area of Hyde Park. On Monday evening, therefore, every one will be allowed free ingress and egress as usual. But it is only fair to warn the peaceful and somewhat over curious spectators that if they go there on Monday evening they will go there at their own risk. In case of a ny disturbance unfortunately arising, it is impos sible for the police, who may be ordered to clear the Paik, to distinguish between those who come to look on and th e roug h s who are sure to come and create a disturbanee. Every sensible and well-dis posed person, therefore, will best consult his own safety and the interests of the cause of order by ab staining from the neighbourhood of Hyde Park alto gether chat evening. We believe it is intended in the programme of the Reform delegates to have a number of distinct platforms or meetings from the centres of which the crowd may be addressed, and it is with these that the police are likely to have orders to ain terfere.after t n e y r speak e r w a r n persistinged.v be Lis incontinuingeted and removed from the P ar k. The police arrangements as to the disposition of th e force ararrested are very properly kept strictly secret, and, in fact, they can hardly be said to be so much their arrangem en t s as orders re ceived from higher auth or i t i es. It is enough, there fore, to say that a ve r y l arge force of .constables, both on foot and mount e d , exceeding in all 5,000 men, will be in the Park, commanded by their heir in spectors _ B a al,s up Commissioners erint e udee of t p s .0 Police ee Sir will also a Mayne e andthere, the other with Sir Thomas Henry, as t h e chief magistrate of the metropolis. If any a tt ac k is made rS upon the police, or any attempt made to interfere with the arrest of persons who may force this most unwel cone alternative upon the Government, ,the police will repel force by force, and endeavour to clear the Park of all who disturb it. The overpowering muster of constables which will be pre sent will make this a comparatively easy matter. Only 'in case of a serious riot unfortunately arising could such a strong force be insufficient. Even for however, we believe the authorities are prepared, and they will, if it be necessary to restore order, not hesitate to apply for assistance to the military in clearing the Park. All the Household troops will be kept to barracks next Monday and ready to proceed at a moment's notice to the scene of any disturbance. Additional military strength will also be brought to the metropolis. In case of any disorder occurring which the police might be unable to meet, the mounted troops would be em ployed to clear the ground, and as this was cleared the infantry would occupy it in line, with strict orders to prevent any disorderly crowd entering again. Of course; no attempt would be made even for this purpose to employ the military, except on the advice of Sir Thomas Henry, and that would never be given till it was seen that the police were not strong enough for their du. es. In spite of the large force of constables to be draughtcd into the park, the police reserves over the rest of London, though of course much diminished, are not so mate.. rially drawn upon as to leave the different neigh bourhoods without protection. We cannot, how ever, too urgently pfess upon all orderly people to abstain from going into the park at .all that evening, or even going near it, as the lookers-on would be just as liable to injury as the most fore most among the rioters. • 'THREATENED STRIKE OF OMNIBUS MEN. — .We have reason to believe (says the Whip) that unless a petition, on the eve of presentation from the employes of the London General Omnibus Company, be complied with, a general strike among the conductors and drivers Will take place before the end Qf the mouth. Madame Puzzi's Matinee d'lnvitation. With her usual skill, taste, and success, Madame Puzzi assembled together yesterday morning, at the St. George's Hall, Langham-place, a gathering of the elite of London society, numerous enough to fill to overflowing one of the largest halls in the metro polis. It was Madame Puzzi's graceful task, and a task worthily executed, to inaugurate with the bright month of May the noble hall of St. George by holding there the first matinee of the season, and we clnuot but hail the auspicious omen, and hope the walls may long retain the echoes of sweet tones which resounded within them on the occasion. As usual Madame Puzzi had catered well for her friends and patrons, an - 1 a very choice little selec tion was prepared for them, in which Mdlle. Fanny Puzzi, Mdlle. Enequist, Miss L. Pyne, and one or two other lady singers, took part, supported by M. Jules Lefort, Signor Ciabatta, Ilerr Reichardt, and Mr. Paley, as vocalists, Find Mr. Aptommas, M. Paque, and Mr. Blumenthal, as instrumentalists. The hall, we were told, was in the occupanio❑ of workmen till past twelve on the previous night, and even now neither entrance is finished, while only the one in Mortimer-street was available. The hall will, no doubt, be more agreeable to the olfac tories, when the smell of very new paint, new boards, wet plaister, escaping gas,. &c., have disap peared. Unusual regard has been paid to the com fort of the occupants ; the seats in the body of the hall are all fauteuils of roomy construction, and re markably easy ; liberal space has been allowed be tween the "rows," and as there is no middle " aisle" (as it is so often erroneously called) it is almost ne cessary to substitute an arrangement which admits of free circulation from one end to the other of each bench. The hall appeared to us remarkably well adapted for sound, and the ventilation is admirably contrived. • Some little time before the concert began every seat was filled, and a number of those present had to be accommodated with chairs. Mdlle. Fanny Puzzi delighted the audience with the perfection of her style, and amply compensates in taste and finish for what she wants in power. No rendering of " Voi the Sapete" could be more ex quisite, and it was gratifying to see it was appre ciated. In the concerted pieces with Mdlle. Lascelles, Signor Ciabatta and Mr. Patey, Mdlle. Puzzi was equally excellent ; indeed, under all cir cumstances, she is mistress of her part no less than of her voice. Miss Ryan's performance on the piano was highly creditable to a young aspirant, and promises well. Mr. Trelawny Cobham, a cidevant amateur, was much applauded in a romanza from "Faust," and Mr. Patey acquitted himself ad mirably, whether in his English or Italian morceaux. In the latter his pronunciation is much more felici tous than is usual with our countrymen. Mr. Blumenthal's " Message"—a clever and brilliant performance—was succeeded by a spirited "March," which was received with merited applause. Of M. Jules Lefort, whose first appearance this season was welcomed by Madame Puzzi's invites. What can we say more laudatory than that he was himself ; and we may add that the deafening plaudits which vainly strove to encore the dulcet strains of Gounod's bewitching serenade eloquently expressed this conviction. We must not omit mention of Mdlle. Enequist, whose magnificent organ and commanding style are so the spirited and ch aracter i st i c na- she delighted th e au di ence, t n w a e l ll ai s r u s it w ed ith to which nor may we pass over llerr Reichardt's effective rendering of Goldberg's arch little " Romance," fol lowed by his own graceful composition, " I long for the violets of Spring." Mr. Aptommas's fantasia from " Lucrezia Borgia" was a masterpiece at once of expression and execution—a rare example of a tour de force, as pleasing as it was surprising, and M. Paque's masterly performances on the violon cello were a valuable addition. We may pronounce the matinee a decided success. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day. Market opens steady.

EUGENE; Empress of the French, has lately in timated her intention of restoring Trianon—the once favourite retreat of Queen Marie Antoinette—and Mal maison, the refuge of the Empress Josephine, after her divorce from Napoleo n I . By the restoration of these l 3 onagr Mario pfioess Josephine rtedpalaces to w h at they were when the ill-fated Antoinette last smil e d on the one, and the unfortu natehine last wept o n th e other, her Imperial Ma jestychallenges the sympathetic remembrance of the " whole world about to flock to the Exposition of the triumphs of Peace on the Champs de Mars," in behalf of her predecessors above-named, whose misfortunes were partly due to stormy scenes enacted iu past times on that very spot.—The Gentleman's ilagqzine, THE SUGAR DUTlES.—Yesterday the New Sugar Duties took effect.

CLOSING OF THE BRADFORD CANAL. —Th e waters of this canal, which unites with the Leeds a n d Li verpool in the valley of the Aire, about four miles fr om B ra d ford, have been run off, and yesterday the can a l was closed to traffic. An injunction from the Court of Queen's Bench, involving penalties of £lO,OOO, against the continuance of the canal in a polluted condition, for its waters had long formed an intolerable nuisance, has led to this result. The proprietors, finding no mode of purifying the pollut e d waters of the canal, received 'as they were from th e Brad ford brook, have put an end to further difileulty, so f ar as the nuisance is concerned, by ceasing to tak e water from that the only source, and have closed the c ana l . STRANDING OF A MAIL STEAMER.—HOLTHEAD, Friday. - A few minutes after twelve a.m. the Royal Mail steamer Leinster, bound from Kingstown to this port, with the mails and 93 passengers, struck on the rocks called Cormbrathiu, East of Holyhead Mountain, during a dense fog, and remained fast. The lifeboat Princess of Wales, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was imme diately launched and proceeded to the steamer, and ren dered every possible assistance. The mails and passengers were lauded, but the crew remained on board, and at high water the steamer floated, and is now safe alongside the Government jetty. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—SoMe time back a gentleman residing at Woitham, in Noao k, named Balls, on returning from Ilarleston Market, fell from his horse, and sustained so serious an illness' in co 'sequence that alt his hair came off. He was perfectly bald. His friend, the Rev. Mr. Daniel, offered hint a wig as a tempo rary substitute; and in the meantime he tried very fortu nately the effects of Rowlsnds' Macassar Oil. What wa, the consequence? Part of a bottle produced the re-growth of a thick and luxuriant head of hair, with (what the first or original growth had Nox) a beautiful tendency to curl. This is a very striking,' instan3e of eillncy horn the fact of the debility which preceded the restoration. • LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, Baron Martin and Justices Byles, Keating, and Shee.) THE QUEEN V. CHAL3IERS. In this case the prisoner, whose conviction it was now sought to quash, had been in the employment of a draper at Devizes, who set him up in business for himself on the occasion of his getting married. It appeared that the prisoner entertained a delusion that his wife had had criminal intercourse with her former employer, and that he was the father of a child which the prisoner had believed to be his own. Acting under a morbid state of mind be wrote two letters to the prosecutor, accusing him of having debauched his wife, although a married man him self, threatening to send the child in question to him, accusing him of being a systematic seducer o f " maid, widow, arid wife;" demanded a sum of money, awl threatening in case of r: fusal to send a bullet through him. lie was tried before the Lord Chief Baron and convicted, an4seuteneed to a term of imprisonment. The application to the Court to quash the finding of the jury was grounded on the argu ment that if the prisoner honestly believed that he was right in his suspicions he was not legally culpable, and that the letters in question did not really contain a menace. Ihe Lord Chief Baron—What, not a menace, threatening to shoot a man through the head ? (Laughter.) The Court approved the finding of the jury. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - --This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Harriet Peckham, a young wo man, was charged before Mr. Knox, with attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine. Joseph Bolton, a young man residing at No.lo, Market street, Edg wale-road, deposed to seeing the prisoner deli berately walk into the Serpentine. He went in after her and pulled her out, and she was taken into custody. A person stepped forward and said the prisoner had kept company with a man and been seduced by him, and after wards she found out that he was a married mau, and she had been labouring under despondency for some days past. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner where her father lived, but she refused to answer. Police-constable Joslin, 363 A, said that on taking the prisoner into custody she stated that she wished she had dono it, as she would then have been better off, and if she had a chance she would do it yet. The young woman's father stepped forward, and Mr. -Knox told him that he thought the best thing he could do would be to remand the young woman for a few days till her mind becarie calm, and told the father that he could speak to his daughter. The young woman, who declined to speak to her father, was remanded. THAMES. Mr. Ingham, who was for many years a magistrate of this Court, and was succeeded by Mr. Selfe, and who has been officiating at the Wandsworth and Hammersmith police-courts, presided this day for Mr. Partridge. Mr. Ingham, whose courteous manners, impartiality, and gene ral intelligence rendered him a great favour ite, was very warmly greeted by the solicitors and others on his arrival. There were 9 charges from the K division, and 3 only from the H division, 2 remanded cases, and 17 summonses for hearing. This is considered a light day for this Court. Mr. Ingham, having received the hearty congratulations of the solicitors, clerks, and officers of the Court, proceeded with the business. DREADFUL OUTRAGE.-A beer-shop keeper, landlord of the Anchor and Hope, White-horse-place, Hardinge-street, Commercial-road East, was brought before Mr. Ingham charged with assaulting and wounding William Hall, a police-constable, No. 425 K. The prisoner,. who is a violent and intemperate man, turned his wife out of doors last night, and the police con stable interposed on her behalf, and asked the prisoner to allow her to remain in his house. The prisoner and another man made a furious attack on the police-con stable, kicked him, and trampled upon him. The con stable was picked up in an insensible condition. Ile is in a very precarious state, and under medical treatment. Mr. Ingham said as the constable was too ill to ap pear this day, he should remand the prisoner for a week. Fashions for May. -4.-- (From Le Follet.) Although up to the present time we have seen hut few spring dresses worn, our readers will doubtless already have found that there are many beautiful materials prepare...l. Some of the foulards are really charming; especially those with a brilliant white ground, worked in coloured silk, or trimmed with wide ribbons of a dead silk called artnure, in beautiful shades—Persian lilac, maize, pink, pale green, Empress blue, &c. Stripes will continu e to be fashionable, we believe, as the dresses are still gored. The short costume continues in favour for walking dress. Some modify it somewhat, by making the upper skirt long, and looping it up, either by tirettes or by tieing it loosely on each side, or at the back. Usually the skirts are of the same material, the trimmings being of two different colours or shades. The fashion of wearing merely a ceinture and basque so as to imi tate a casaque, for paying visits, has revived, the body of the dress serving for the casaque. Indeed, the ceinture takes quite an important place in "la mode" just now, it is so elaborately trimmed and variously shaped. It forms a very elegant finish to the dress. Those intended for out-door wear should be rather longer, scal loped or plain ; the latter, perhaps, rather pre ferable, but always, of course, trimmed. This style will scarcely become much adopted until the summer weather has fairly set in. Even now it is worn by some ladies for making ceremonial calls ; but, as we think, there are few ladies who will feel inclined to follow this fashion just yet in our changeable climate, we must call their attention to the beautiful Indian cashmeres which are so much admired and worn by many ladies of fashion, and which aro more beauti ful than ever this year. The paletot " Breton" is a very pretty little coat for the present season, and likely to be worn at the seaside or for travelling. It is made of white or ponceau cloth, and worked with coloured embroidery (cashmere style) either in wool or silk. Some are finished with buttons and chains across the front and on the sleeves. Woollen lace is becoming much used as a trim ming, especially suitable for petticoats, although employed in various ways. One reason for its success is doubtless that, as well as being firm and durable, it is made in different colours--sometimes of two shades mingled. Novelties in lingerie are very abundant. The high white body cut square, or slightly open in front, is much in vogue, and is generally worn with the small Swiss boiy or ceinture. Black tulle bodies, bouillonnes, with bands of insertion sparkling with jet are ex tremely pretty. Young ladies can have them made of jaconet or linos for morning wear. We can not but suppose that it is probable, as the summer advances, jet will be less worn than it has been lately, though certainly it still is a very favourite trimming. The ceinture of jet is much liked, both with black and coloured dresses. There is also a trim ming made of a satin cord, mingled with jet or quite plain. Very wide jet fringes are used for ceinture basques. We must not omit to men tion the very wide ribbons for sashes tied behind. For black dresses there are black ribbons, the ends embroidered in field flowers ; others in gold. The Iris ribbon is made for white or pale coloured dresses. These wide sashes will be espe cially needed to wear with the barque worn to imi tate a cas , que. Now th it Easter is past, velvet will no longer be employed as the material for bonnets—or toquets, as they may more justly be termed —but must give place to straw, crape, tulle, and blond ; but, as satin will be worn as trimming for dresses and paletots during the summer, that, at least, will be retained. Berries and bronzed leaves are much worn on straw. A charming novelty is the jonquil, made of rice paper. Then there are narcissus, green olives, primroses; all of which may be also used for the spring bonnets. A very charming " Fenella" was made of pink crape bouillonne; with rouleaux of black satin worked with jet, trimmed with the jonquils already spoken of, and brides of black lace fastened under the chin with a jet ornament. Another of pink crape had a mantilla of black lace crossing under the chin ; and a third clegan t Coquet of grey satin and tulle was trimmed with a wreoth.of pheasant's feathers. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING. DAT. Some heavy speculation took place to-day on the Derby, the leading feature of the movement being the extraor dinary firmness of the two favourites, and the frequent in quiries after The Dragon, who, at 11 to 1, found some favour, but at a point more would have been backed to win several thousand. Hermit was supported at 9tol, a price hardly obtainable at the close, while both Julius and Grand Cross were in healthy demand; and though 20 to 1 was at one time laid against the latter, book makers subsequently refused to advance on 16 to 1. The investments on the others quoted below were not to large amounts, but not the least remarkable move was in connection with Plaudit, who after 1000 to 30 being noted down abont hint retired. to 50 to 1, 500 to 10 being laid three times in a generally well-informed quarter, with an additional tier to bet 100 that the Richmond horse did not start.

Mr. BRIGIIT presented a petition praying that the per sons accused of Fenianism might have fair trials, and also be treated with more leniency than they had heretofore received, that the troops should be ordered to conduct themselves for the future with feelings more in accordance with legitimate warfare. The hon. gentleman read the prayer of the petition, and also the names of the persons signing it, and handed it to the Speaker. On the motion that the petition be laid on the table, Major KNOX moved that, as ho considered the prayer of the petition disloyal and objectionable, it be not re- ceivod. Mr. DAWSON seconded the motion. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought that it would be parti cularly hard, and therefore ho hoped the petition would be received. The petition was ultimately received, Major Knot with drawing his opposition. THE' FENIANS. Mr. BLAKE asked the Chief Secretary fur Ireland whether, in consequence of the report of the medical offfeer of the Mountjoy Convict Prison, that the prisoners confined there under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act Were suf fering in health from the discipline they were subjected to , and were likely to suffer still more if the prison rules con tinued to ba enforced to.the same extent, it was the inten tion of the Government to direct that the untried political prisoners should be treated in a less severe manner than they have been hitherto ? Lord NAAS said, as a report had been presented that the continued confinement was acting prejudicially on the health of the prisoners, he had caused certain relaxations in the prison rules to be made, and that the result had been most satisfactory. They were now daily in associa tion with each other, and they were freely allowed to smoke during exercise, and that they had the privilege of receiving their food from their friends. HUSH LAND TENURE BILL. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of the Government to allow the adjourned debate on the Irish Land Bill to stand for the first business on the evening of Monday, the 13th of May. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid he could give the hon. member no promise on the subject. THE MEETING IN HYDE PARS. Sir C. RUSSELL asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to a resolution passed at a meeting of the Reform League held in the Sussex Hall last night, by which it was determined (after the reading of the Governor ent Proclamation, prohibiting the meeting announced for Monday next in Hyde Park) "that such meeting be held as publicly notified." Whether, in the event of such meeting taking place, the vice-presidents, as well as the president, would be held liable for a de liberate infraction of the law. And whether the Home Secretary had received, in common with other members of the house, a list of the members of the Re form League, in which the names of Thomas Hughes, Esq., M.P., Thowts Bayley Potter, Es M.P., P. A. Taylor, Esq., M.P., an I The O'Denoshue, M.P., are pub lished, as purporting to be Vice-Presidents of the Reform League. Mr. WALPOLE said his attention had b3on drawn to the proceedings at the meeting held at Sussex Hall. With n'gard to the third question, he had to say he had not re ceived a list of the members of the R :form League. With regard to the second question, which ha answered last, with respect to the vice presideats_bac 'ming liable fur auy infraction of the law, he had to say that, regarding the position of seine of the gentleman named as vice-pre sidents occupied in society awl that house, he could not think they would be any parties to a resistance to the law of the land or any infraction of the law. (Hear, hear.) Mr. R. J. HARVEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if any facilities wouid be given to meet the general desire on the part of the tradespeople and others residing in the western parishes of Loadou to be sworn-in as special constables for the preservation of the peace for Monday, the 6th May. Mr. WALPOLE said he had received a repreientation relative to the proposed meeting, and he had also received, about ten minutes before he left the Home-office, a memorial signed by 6,000 working men, deprecating the proposed meeting, and he had also been informed that before eleven o'clock to-morrow morning that number would be increased by about 4,000 more. He was happy to inform the house that he had been in communication with the vestries in the neighbourhood of Hyde-park, and stated that every facility would be given to the sw earin g in of special constables to preserve the public p eace. Mr. BRIGIIT asked whether the Middlesex ma g istrates had been communicated with. Mr. WALPOLE replied in the negative. Mr. BRIGHT asked whether, before such extreme steps we:readCpp - tad, it was not necessary that depositions, taken before the magistrate, should be forwarded to him. It did not, in his opinion, follow that because there was going to be a public meeting it followed, as a matter of course, there was g nag to be a breach of the peace—the alarm was absurd—and he hoped the hon. gentleman would do nothing. (Loud cries of " Order," and " Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE said he had stated that he had been in communication with the different parishes, stating that facilities would be given them in swearing in special con stables. He had done so in accordance with the act, which stated that when any turmoil, riot, or felony was appre hended, the Rome Secretary, on receiving an intimation to that effect before the magistrates, should have that power. He had done nothing contrary to the act of Par liament. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BlflGllT asked whether the special constables would interfere with peaceful subjects entering the park? or whether they would be called upon to act with others in dispersing the meeting in case tumult should arise? Mr. WALPOLE said he had stated that he had no ap plication from the magistrates. (Haar, hear.) The special constables would not interfere with peaceful sub jects on the dispersing of the meeting. The fpecial con stables would only be there in case the pace was broken to assist the constitutional authorities. Mr. WHALLEY asked if any further information had been received by the Government since the issuing of the proclamation. Mr. WALPOLE said no proclamation had been issued — merely a notice, signed by the Secrotaif of State, requir ing persons to abstain from attending a mooting emitted. was not permitted, and which wo uld not 1)) perm (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mij ir KNOX asked the hoe. member for Birming ham, us he had stated the meeting would be held whether he had the authority of the Reform League to make that statement.
