GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF ["TH.E SUN," FROM FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY FOURPEN CF. FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION. In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial. News, List of Bankrupts, Jr,c., (h., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto t'he price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office, which made the price to the Subscriber Pivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster-General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. sun -office, 112, Strand, London, 9th July, 1855. gib t ~,, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1855. It is scarcely probable that we shall be accused of being thick-and•thin Ministerialists, or of sup porting per fas aut nefas any proposition brought in by the Government merely for the sake of retaining the present Cabinet. The course we have followed during the present week, on the motions of Sir E. B. LYTTON and Mr. ROEBUCK, will, we think, he sufficient to rebut such a charge if it should be made. We may, therefore, with out much fear of misconception, emphatically pro test against the cows. . adopted in the House of C°lll43 thl l 3 last 13ight,, in reference to the guarantee on tie eonteraplate ;d 'Turkish Loan, a course which had nearly led to t he most disastrous consequences, from which the nation has bad a mere hair breadth escape, There have surely been quite a sufficient nuinb er of legitimate opportunities for damaging the ( hl ernment without resorting to . 1 means that must have given serious offence to our illustrious Ally, and materially impaired the cordial and friendly understanding between the Cabinets of Paris and of London. It would be difficult to conceive any proceeding more injuri- ous to the best interests of the coun try, or better calculated to prevent the War—the just and neces sary War—on which we have entered, from being brought, to a satisfactory or speedy conclusion. iliat the friends of Russia, the advocates of Peace ., at any Price, or on any conditions, should oppose the resolutiou was by no means surprising, They could not in any way render better service to their Northern Cabinet. But that -Mr. Distt+trA should. have spoken and voted with, the : minority, that - his' brilliant eloquence should haV4.been such a cause, has indeed astonished as much as it has grieved us, and the responsibility of the Right Hon. Gentleman is the greater when we consider that it was chiefly through the weight and influence which he de servedly enjoys that 132 members recordei their votes against the resolution, and that the nation only escaped a fearful calamity by a slender ma jority of three ! The arguments offered against the resolution, Although sufficiently plausible, could not bear the I testofstringentinvestigation. The spechus fallacies put forward by the different speakers could be easily detected by any disinterested or unpreju diced person of ordinary capacity. It is true that there was a great diversity of reasoning, and that the most conflicting arguments were used. Nothing, in fact, was disregarded which by any possibility could catch a vote. But they were all equally unsound—all equally unworthy of sup port. Whether they were sound arguments on inaccurate premises, or unfair deductions from correct data, they were equally illusory and unsubstantial, and unworthy of the votes of independent members uninfluenced by factious motives. When the pleas adduced were of such conflict ing characters it is difficult to dispose of one without falling into the opposite extreme. " Incidit in Scyllant, dum mit evitare Charybdim," is a by no means uncommon result of having to steer a middle course between opposing dangers, either of which would be equally fatal to the pro ceeding. The resolution was most strongly op posed because it was a subsidy, and because it was not a subsidy. On oneside, weheard sinister auguries because we were relapsing into a course which, dur ing the 20 years before the conclusion of the last general European War, cost the nation more than fifty millions sterling. On another, the conclu sions were equally unfavourable, because, in place of giving without any prospect of. a return, we took ample security to prevent any possible loss. There were also objections because we shared the guarantee with our Imperial Ally, and as if we were to anticipate pettifogging excuses from France, of a similar character to those sent forward by repudiating states ; and there were prophets of evil ready to show that future complications would arise with France from the joint liability; and there were also complaints respecting the form as well as the substance, and a desire that the House of Commons should vindicate its own dig nity just at the most inconvenient time that such a point could possibly be urged, and when, if ever, the objection was totally unfounded. Let us ask the Manchester men what commercial house could hold their ground if they did not endorse the acts of their responsible agents ? Stripped of the deceptions and fallacies in which the matter was disguised it was not diffi cult to arrive at a correct conclusion. The na tion, with almost unparalleled unanimity, decided that the War is to be vigorously and energetically waged—that any and every sacrifice is to be made to prevent the aggressive policy inaugurated by PETER and CATHERINE, and professed by the pre sent as well as the late CZAR, from being successful. For that purpose we have already expended not far from one hundred millions of pounds, and, still more, many thousand valuable lives. But all will be lost if Turkey be not assisted to maintain her own ground. It would indeed be but a penny-wise -and-pound-foolish policy to let all that has already been done go for nothing, awl either relinquish the contest altogether, as Messrs. GLADSTONE and COBDEN desire, or undertake to fight the whole battle ourselves without assistance from France as another section of the minority deemed expedient. We do not think that any per son of ordinary capacity, and bent on the energetic prosecution of the War, can hesitate as to the pro priety and expediency of making the necessary advance ; and the only question remaining is in what way that can best be effected. Now, the proposed mode—by guaranteeing the interest jointly with France—appears to be by far the most eligible. By not making it an absolute gift we at the same time show a greater respect for the independence of Turkey, and induce her to make more earnest efforts to husband her re sources. We see that they are amply sufficient to provide the interest, but, from some almost inexpli cable causes, a loan can only, if at all, be obtained on the most extravagantand usurious terms, which, if accepted, would cripple Turkey more than the Russian arms. The credit of the Western Powers is good, and they jointly and severally step forward as securities for tie punctual pay ment of the interest, and thus without injuring themselves are enabled to render a most important benefit to their Ally. Mr. RICARDO and Mr. GLADSTONE urged that, because the late Turkish Loan is now quoted at 91, the SULTAN Collid raise the necessary funds without the aid of France and England; but they must be well aware that the Stock was at a heavy discount until hints respecting the coming guarantee raised it to a handsome premium, and that without the guaran tee of the Western Powers no further money could be raised. Fortunately, the opposition has failed, and we have thus escaped a danger more formidable than can be estimated, and which would be encoun ;ered on most inadequate and unworthy grounds. To Sir DE LACY Evabis belongs the honour of stating in plain, soldier-like style the practical jus tification of Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion. While un willing to turn Lord PALMERSTON out, yet he truthfully observed, that not only the "short comings of the late Government, but the want of earnestness in the present Government, went far to justify the vehemence of the Honourable Member for Sheffield." He observed that " im mense mistakes had been made, which were chiefly in consequence of the Government not having been in earnest in regard to the War." He added that they should "show that they were in earnest in carrying on the War, and if they did he had sanguine hopes that in case the War should be continued, a total break of the roast empire of Rus sia might be e f fected." We invite the attention of the nation to the experienced counsels of the brave old soldier. Our readers:well know that they enforce advice which we hitherto urged almost in vain. We have from the beginning traced every disaster substantially to the want of earnestness in carry ing on the War. For some reason our Govern ments have never heartily wished to treat Rus sia as she deserves, and as the country wished them to do, and has paid them to du. To assign , what England believes to be the real cause of this miglt bring us within the clutches of the Attor- , ney-General, and we cannot afford that expensive honour ; but there is, there must be, a reason for this manifest want of earnestness. To that, much more than to defective administration has been due the little progress hitherto made. Earnest- ness would have soon rectified the Administra tion; it would have found LINDSAYS and PETOS at the first to accomplish what it was resolute to effect. The grand curse and bane of .the War-...the .puerile waiting on and for Austria, could not have been endured for a moment by determined men. Polish aid would have been summoned at once ; the All of Bomarsund would have been followed by an attack on Riga at least, and an encampment there to arouse Poland ; in a word, every military and political movement would have been impressed with the . character of men determined on an im portant and great object. To what is it due hut to want of earnestness that the Sea of Azoff was not swept of supplies before ? Had this been done previous to last winter we believe the garrison of Sebastopol would have been literally starved out, and the failure of the coup de main atoned for. To what else the leaving Odessa to be the means of transport for the Danu bian troops tolnkerman?—and wbyis it now spared after the successes at Kertch, Arabat, and Tagan rog, spared to forward troops from Poland to Pere kop ? Why, too, are Kherson and Nicolaieff left unmolested ? We are all shy of appearing to trench on the province of the military com manders, but what we fear is that they are held back rather than urged to the most decisive mea sures. We cannot but think that the covering part of the army might by this time have found the enemy in the field, and our firm belief is that it would have found nothing which would not soon have fled before it, that Simpheropol would be reached almost without a battle, and that the Turks at Eupatoria in co-operation with our advance could cut the Russian lines of communication com pletely ; and this means nothing less than speedy starvation to the Russians. We strongly suspect that means of transnort'have not yet been pro vided in adequate measure for a vigorous land advance. If not they ought to have been. To us non-professional writers and readers, it will appear certain that the fleet which could land a force so easily at Kertch could land one easily anywhere north of Sebastopol, or, if need ful, on the eastern coast ; that at least it could not be difficult with such a fleet at our command to keep the enemy in perpetual uncertainty where they were to be threatened next. How is it that we see no signs of this kind of vigour ? Why are 200,000 soldiers kept at trench and battery work on one side only of the beleaguered for tress ? There must be some repressive influence somewhere to account for such an obvious want of bold and decisive action. We know that the 'fault is not with the soldiers. General EVANS observed that "he was not quite sure that Lord PALMSRSTON had dis played that energy which. his friends gave him credit for ; nor was he able to discern that any great accession had been made to our military strength since his accession to office. It really seemed that this system of pro tocolling at Vienna had paralysed the energies of the h oble Lord." True to the letter. We at the very outset denounced the wicked hoax of the Vienna Conference, and the folly of sending Ple nipotentiaries there at all, for the very reason that it would " paralyse" both energy at hom• and bold counsels in the Crimea. But is not the disgraceful and mischievous Vienna Conference one merely of the many symptoms that we have been sold to Germany. The despots of Germany from the big ones of Vienna and. Berlin to the SAYE-COBURGS and the like, cannot endure the thought of " breaking' up Russia." They are married to her; they are bribed by her; their offi cers and leading officials arein herpay; their breasts glitter with her barbarous orders. Degrade Russia and they are degraded with her. Break her power, and their own people will burst their bonds. The Royal family of Russia, too, is a German family. The Royal family of England is a scion of the same stock. Are, then, our Courtly Nobles fearful of wounding German feelings ? Do they shrink from the hazard of offending or grieving sympathies with which they are, behind the scenes, but too well acquainted ? Be this as it may, Lord PALMERSTON cannot doubt that h• will not be permitted any longer to halt between two opinions. If he means to be great through COBURG influence, then let him serve the COBURGS, and go with Lord J. Russzu to political extinc tion. But if he relies on serving the noble minded nation which he governs for his future fame, let him have but one purpose—namely, as General EVANS said---" to effect a total break of the Russian empire." There is but too much reason to fear that, not withstanding the removal of Lord JOHN RUSSELL from the Cabinet, there still remains a strong pro- Austrian party in the Cabinet. This painful fact is but too perceptible in the altered tone of even our best Ministers. Lord CLARENDON himself speaks in very different terms respecting that double-dealing Power from what he used some time since ; and it is obvious that, in deference to some influence either within or outside the Ca binet, the course previously contemplated towards that deceitful and treacherous ally has been com pletely changed. The despatches contained in the recently pub lished Eastern Papers, when contrasted with the speeches of the Foreign Secretary, exhibit this alteration in the strongest light. On the 3d of April the Foreign Secretary told Count COLLOREDO that the Austrian propositions, of which he was the bearer—viz., those relating to the "sys tem of counterpoise"—" were nothing short of an announcement that Austria would not ad here to the Treaty of. December 2, if the Western Powers persisted in carrying the third basis into effect." Adding that "if the War went on, it would be for Austria to consider her own position, not only during its continuance, after the prepa rations she had made, the language she had held, and the engagements she had entered into, but also at its conclusion, when peace was made between the four belligerent Powers." Again, ou the 16th of April, before the remarkable piece of tergiver sation was exhibited by the English Plenipoten tiary, Lord CLARENDON wrote—" Count Bum, must now be convinced that no attempt on the part of the Austrian Government to induce the Western Powers to relinquish their moderate proposals on the Third Point can be successful, and it is to be hoped that no more such attempts will be made." And also—" Count BUOL may object to a previous resolution respecting War, but he mast be aware that England and France cannot agree to an unsafe and dishonourable peace, and that if Russia will agree to no other ,terms, the casus belli for Austria will arise." The Noble Lord at the same time gave directions in the event of the ne gotiations being broken off for a note to be ad dressed to Count Eno; inviting the Austrian Government to concert the measures necessary for giving immediate effect to the Treaty of December 2d. On the 23d of Apiil similar language was used—the system of counterpoise was denounced a s " impracticable and illusory," and the treacherous connivance of Germany with the AUTOCRAT was more than hinted at ; mhen Loid CLARENDON told COMA COLLOREDO that " Count 'Buoes despatch gave much reason to fear that Austria would propose nothing that Russia would be unwilling to accept ; while, on the other hand, H.EI4 II l 4) 0 AS 0!I SA 1' Int 13 A:Y. _EVEN 144: P ILL 4,lf.Lit _lB5 IL it seemed probable that Russia would agree to nothing that would interfere with the &termi nation that the EMPEROR ALEXANDER announced of carrying out the policy Of PETER and of CATHERINE.'' Up to this period nothing could be mora de cided or energetic than the conduct and language of the Foreign Secretary, and some time elapsed before any great change was perceptible. We know that the Austrian propositions were debated in the Cabinet from the 29th April to the 7th of May, and on the Bth of the latter month he for warded a despatch to the Earl of WESTUOIZELAND, temperately, but firmly announcing that the time had arrived for England and France to invite Austria, in fulfilment of her engagements, to con cert with them the measures for giving immediate effect to the Treaty of December 2d. On the 29th of May this demand was more earnestly pressed, stating what the engagement was, and calling to Atistria to perform her part, while on the 2d of June he pointed out the sacrifices that Irkd up to that time been made for the Austrian Alliance ; and on the 13th of June he stated to Count COLLOREDO that " the continuation of the War must, to a certain extent, change the position of Austria and her Allies towards each other, unless she took part in the War, in fulfilment of her engage ments." On the 26th June, however, all this was changed. The Noble Earl then thought that " the proceedings of Austria did not justify cen sure," and he declared that she would continue to occupy the Principalities without let or hindrance, and practically contradicted his own assertion on the 13th of June, less than a fortnight previously. We ask, then, what was the cause of that change in the most trusted member of the Government ? Why has Lord CLARENDON so completely altered his tone ? We hope that some explanation may be given on this point, which has occasioned con siderable anxiety to the community, and that we may know whether it has been produced by a section of the Cabinet or, by the unconstitutional interferences of irresponsible parties ? Had the Papers above referred to been published previous to Lord LYNDHURST'S celebrated speech, it would have furnished the 'veteran Statesman with weapons of -irresistible power ; and there are abundant reasons why he may oncw more, before the terminuion of the session, call the attention of the House of Peers to " the ano malous position of Austria in her relation to the Allied Powers. At present all that is known is, that we have been completely bamboozled —have been humiliated, and made laughing-stocks of in the sight of Europe ; and it seems as if we were afraid to demand the satisfaction to which we are so eminently entitled 1 Such imputations are peculiarly unpleasant, and it should be ascer tained whether we are to rest contented under the disgrace and injury occasioned to us by Aus trian duplicity and insincerity, or possibly, as a reward for her misconduct, to hand over . Mol davia and Wallachia to 'the tender mercies of Austria, who seems resolved to retain permanently the Principalities, into the possession whereof she was so improvidently permitted to enter. POLITICAL ON DITS. The appointment of Sir William Molesworth as successor to Lord John Russell in the Colonial office appears, judging from the general tenour of the conversation at the Clubs this morning, to have given unqualified satisfaction. Sir Benjamin Hall is confidently looked upon to replace the right hon. baronet at the Board of Works. The post thus vacated at the Board of Works, it is thought, will most probably, be filled up by the appointment of Sir J. V. Shelley. On the other hand the last-named gentleman has been named as likely to occupy the chairmanship of the New Me tropolitan Central Board. No opposition will, it is understood, be offered to the return of Sir W. Molesworth or either of the other gentlemen, in the event of these changes taking place. COURT CIRCULAR, OSBORNE, JULY 20. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert rode and walked in the grounds yegtereay. The Duchess of Kent drove out, accompanied by the Princess Helena.

The Emperor Napoleon went to the Vaudeville the other evening to witness the firit representation of a comedy by M. Emile Angier, entitled Mari d'Olynye, for which the author is to receive 40,000 fr. It appears that the censors had condemned the piece, on the ground of immorality, but that on an appeal to the Emperor the Interdiction was removed. Tne Hanoverian Minister, accompanied by his daugh ter, the Countess Helene Kielmansegge, left town on Thursday for the country seat of his Excellency, on the banks of the Ell, in Holstein.

Assistant. surgeons are, fo: the future, to be placed in the Ward room mess, from the time of joining their ships, instead of messing with '.the midshipmen and petty officers, as heretofore. Many a studious man, eager to cultivate his mind, and study his profes.ion with ctimparative tran (plait), will long thank him for this boon. Si. PAUL AND ST. BARNABAS.—The trials of Wester ton v.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 9th, in the Hamburg News, says :—" The destruction of the telegraphs and the light houses on the coast of Finland, including those of Tolbuchin and Kras najagorka, the two nearest to the capital, has had for its first result that we scarcely hear anything of the movements of the fleet between Cronstadt and Revel. The general uneasiness and agitation are thus increased, for although it is loudly de clared that Cronstadt is impregnable, and that no fear is felt as regards it, yet the proximity of so large a hostile fleet cannot fail to inspire considerable anxiety." A letter from Vienna, in the _Hamburg News, says :—" Lctters from Warsaw contradict a report of the departure of a further part of the Guard for the Crimea, but it is, nevertheless, true that move ments of troops are constantly going on, and that the army of General Gortschakoll receivesreinforce ments constantly. At the commencement of the present month, two regiments of g' enadiers, two Uhlans, and several of chasseurs, left Poland for the Crimea." " The anniversary of the birthday of the Empress Dowager of Russia," says a letter from Warsaw, " was kept here with the usual ceremonies. The cholera is still raging here.

A letter from Athens of the 7th says :—" The treaty of commerce between Greece and Turkey has just been unanimously adopted by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. M Mavrecordato has presented two bills to the Chamber—one for the construction of a railway from the Piraeus to Athens, which will be first established in Greece, the other fixing the amount of the indemnity to be allowed to members of the Senate and of the Chamber of Deputies. The news from the provinces is more favourable ; brigandage is disappearing, and a great litany bandits, closely pressed by the artnel force, have given themselves up to the authorities." TURKISH ARMY IN ASIA. KARS, JUNE 23. MONDAY, June 18.—A movement of the Rus sian camp is observed. Our scouts come in with various and conflicting accounts. At first it is said they are retiring to Gumri, then a division is reported as on the march to Akiska. Our doubts are soon dispelled, however, for the whole Russian army, calculated at 35,000; appeared in full march upon us, preceded by a large cavalry force, a n d f 'Rowed by miles of baggage waggons and camp followers. Ere yet they came within range of our heavy ordnance they gradually turned southwards and then west . ards, while we watched with intense interest each movement, and twice " slewed" round our 24-pounders towards the moving host. When the enemy had marched several hours towards the west they took up a position about three miles from us, on a slope of a mountain, and before they had pitched their tents a heavy shower of rain came on, which con tinued during the whole of that night. TUESDAY, June 19.—We are all up before day light, confidently expecting an attack. The whole country is flooded with the heavy rains. The day passes off without any movement on the part of the enemy. The rain continues. WEDNESDAY, June 20.—The rain continues, and the whole country - is such a mass of mud as to render any hostile movement with heavy guns simply impossible. We hear of the approach of several mountaineers from Lazistan—excellent riflemen—who are to line our batteries, Mustapha Pasha, the Commander of the Batonm army, writes to the General, telling him that he has only 3,500 troops under him, that he is menaced by a vastly superior force of Russians, and therefore is quite unable to send us reinforcements, but he is doing his hest to send us irregulars. THURSDAY, June 21.—Six hundred Lath moun taineers enter the town with banners of their own, singing their patriotic songs. These are excellent riflemen, and worth much more than regular troops to fight behind intrenchments. FRIDAY, June 22.—The enemy are unri )ofing all the villages around for the sake of the firewood. We hear that they have sent for eight siege guns, and intend to make regular approaches. Th e rain continues without intermission, to which we' owe our present quiet.

The man's hands a p - peared to be tied together, and he held them .11p, as if to ward off the The *duct of Superintendent Hughes was 'Sze that of a zaisniac. In consequence of is policeman ill-using a bias a female remonstrated with him on his cruelty, when he reolied,-" What the b— ile-- business have. 'you here?" As witneSs was about to take the policeman's number, he was told by a man in the crowd to mind what he was about, because persons had been apprehended for doing it. He saw polic • sergeant 31 D on a boy on the ground, who was bleed ing very much from the mouth. Witness could not say if the lad was a pickpocket. He thought he looked too respectable ttirs that. Chief Cotiinnesioner Wortley—Pickpockets are very respectable in appearance, according to my experience. ' Witness could identify the sergeant. He saw police man' 375 A strike a 'in in, saying, "he would let day light into his b— guts," and kicked him 'He saw the same policeman using unnecessary violence to a lad he had in custody. Mr. Z. Berry, engineer, Albion Works, Wilton-road, Pimlico, was in the P ar k i n company with the last wit nes-i, and corroborated his evidence, adding that he saw the boy knocked down by the policeman. He violently thrust the end of his truncheon against the lad's mouth,, which pushed biin down, and the policeman fell over , him. The crowd cried " Shame," and the policeman ap peared to be thoroughly ashamed of his conduct. The conduct of the B division was exemplary. He saw a lady's bonnet,`such 'as Punch describes as an " oyster shell," knocked off her head by a policeman's truncheon, .and her hair streaming in the wind. The ,people be haired well. He saw five or six stoma thrown at us cab conveying persons to the station-house. Mr. E. N. Ayrton, barrister, of Lincoln's-inn, gave evidence of the peaceable idisposition of the people pre vious to the misconduct of the police. There was not one-tithe of the noise usual on aLord Mayor's-day. He saw 387 A strike several boys of twelve and fitii rteen years of .a . ge ,violently on the, back with his truncheon as they were 1-fanning away from, the police. Cross-examined by EiliS—lie would not say positively that 387 A. struck the boys ; he struck at them ; liadinsistruck - them he should have thouglet they would have fallen down. :` Mr. Thomas Conchinan,: - landlord, of the Windsor Castle, Pimlico, was in the Park from three to half-past. four o'clock.

Mr. Ellice said he was there, and had supreme lion:- tnand, but there was a discrepancy in the witness's de scription iif the man, Chief Commissioner Wortley said that he thought it had been established that Superintendent Hughes had the chief command on this day, and anything that was done wrong in that particular quarter he would haVe to answer for. If any specific charge was brought against the superintesdent, it would be necessary to be particular in his identity. Witness stated that when he was more than 50 yards from the railing he saw the police make an 'attack on the people, beating ,thena right and left. Two men were bratally struck by the police, and had their clothes torn off their backs. He detailed other cases of ill-usage on the part of the police generally: He saw Superintendent Hughes strike at the people with his whip. It caused great excitement, many observing he ought to be un horsed. The c induct.of the police on this occasion was reprehensible. Their c mnductgenerally was exemplary, and he had always rendered them assistance when they required it. He had no animosity against the police. He had been a licensed victualler for 27 years and never had a complaint made against him. He saw two females on the ground in the park, but he could not say if they were knocked down by the police. Mr. John Blanrlford army case maker, 24, Tothill street, Westminster, was in the park from 4 till 6 o'clock. He was not in the habit of goingg there, but did so that afternoon from seeing the prohibitory notice of 'the: police. He saw a superintendent, on a "pale horse" make an attack on an old grey-headed aristocratical-looking gentleman. He saw 385 A strike a young man on the left aim, who was struck by two other policemen at the same time and felled to the ground. After this the man on the "pale horse" made his appearance, which was the signal for general hiss , ing. Another charge was ordered by him, in which 385 A took a prominent part, the leading policeman of the body saying "he would have no more of it." 385 A lifted his truncheon to strike a stout boy—" a buffalo cut down"—(laughter)—but the boy threatening to knock him claim, the policeman dcaitited. 385 A caught a man by the collar, and as he held him' struck him a violent blow on the lower part of the back. He joined with several in conversation o n the Sunday Trading Bill. The meeting was anything but political. Mr. Geo. Kimpton. book-finisher,f3l, Wardcur-street, Soho,' was in the Park from four o'clock till six o'clock. There was a little hissing as a carriage or horse passed by. He saw tvesshorses rather startled by the noise, asd the police in consequence rush on the people. He sac ~ veral ladies in broughams, who appeared to enjoy their ride. Air. James Bawstead, commercial traveller, 3G, Far ringdoo-street, aas in the park with his wife, from 4 to 5 o'clock, they Were on their way to Brompton to see a friend. The people corning along in a body he took hold of the railing to protect himself and wife. The Inspector on the Chesnut horse ordered the police to " take that fellow into custody with the light waistcoat and gloves," meaning witness. Th e p o li ce se i ze d him and dragged him over the railings. The inspector then came up when witness sleid " What a 11--- fool you must be to give me in charge, hat. ing done nothing." The superintendent told the men to take him away,and charge him with re-tisting the police. He was dragged to Stanhope-go e, and nor liking to be dragged through the streets by ti e police, a cab was procured, and he was taken to the station house. He wa.r taken into cast dy entirely by the order of Superintendent Hughes, who was pale with rage, and acted like a madman. His wife was escorted by a stranger to Brampton, and she returned to the station house with a friend, to bail him, but orders, the police told her, had bean given to bail no one. One of his employers offered to bail him on Monday morn ing, but he was refuSed. Witness was put into an underground cull„ like a pig—tye, in which there w er e more persons than could rat down. It was intensely hot during the night, and had w.t a polices an kindly opened the door several times, be thought they would have been stiftwated: The policeman who attended to them was very civil, and they had anything they could pay fcr. The place reminded him of what he bad read of the Black Hole at Calcutta. He was bailed on Mon day evening. Chief Commis-ioner Wortley asked who bad the power of bailing ? Mr. Ellice said it was a discretionary power under the police act, in the person in command of the station, probably aniinspect or. Mr. Conitnisnioner Armstrong—Then on this occa sion any of these persons !night have been bailed by the inspector on duty. Mr. Ellice said it appeared co, but he could not Fay. Witness said that he appeared at IVlarlhorough-itreet on Tuesday, and was discharged, no charge being pre ferred against him. Chief Commissioner Wortley asked to be furnished with the Metropolitan Police Act, and the regulations with reference to bail. • Mr. Ellice said he would endeavour to procure them. Mr. H. R. Markwick, 16 years of age, clerk to a so licitor, 65, Gray's-ii n-lane, was in the - park from 3 to 5 o'clock when he'was taken into custody for booting and waving his hand at a carriage with a livery servant that passed. The inspector said he charged him with shaking his hand at a carriage.. Chief Commissioner Wortley—What made you hoot ? Witness—l don't . know ; others did it, and I did the same. Witness was taken to. Vine-street, and placed in the cell with the previous witness. At 12 o'clock on Sunday night he was taken :in a van to Marylebone ,ane, and put in a cell. with} 17 Others. That cell was rather worse than the one at Vine street. He felt faint during the night, and the police gave him water occa sionally. Most of the prisoners were young men like himself. He was boa of the. number brought up on Tuesday and discharged. The sergeant on duty refused on Monday afternoon.to send; for hisbaii, liecause Gray's. itindane was too far off. A policeman told bun from 2s. to 2s. 6d. was charged for procuring bail, according to dietanc9. By Mr. C ommissione.r Armstrong—He understood the poliee were in the park to keep order, and prevent hoot ing anti By Chief Commissioner Wortley—He went to the park from curiosity, attracted by the police notice. By Mr. Mitchell—Prisoners confined without money were not supplied withlooo gratuitou-ly until after they nad been in custody 48 houts. On a prisoner applying for it, a policeman replied;' "You don't expect to get tat here, do you r (Laughter.) Mr. Faulconer, flour factor, 97, Lupus-street, Pim lico, was in the park from half past two till six o'clock. He saw a pi rson named Woodward with his eye cut open. The police appeared to strike . where they could 'do the most injury. • It itruck him Superintendent Hughes' object 'as tnexcite the people.
