THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—SIR CHARLES EASTLAKE AGAIN.—Mr. Saulbach complains that his picture of the Duke of Cambridge has been excluded from the exhibi tion ; but not because of the number of portraits this year, for they are comparatively few ; nor because of the badness of the picture, for the high officers of the Academy admit its merits, and in writing confess their regrets at not hanging it. Want of a " fitting place" is the alleged reason. Nor is it the only picture excluded. Another excellent portrait has been kept out ; not because the artist, Mr. Augustus Heroien, is regarded with hostility, by the Academy, for he has been an exhibitor constantly admitted, and he, we fancy, is not in question ; not because the picture is bad, for it is reported to be one of the best by the same hand, and an admirable likeness.

The Mercury and Ceres cutters arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from' the Channel Islands to refit. The Swedish corvette Lejer,gtjelke left Portsmoutt yesterday morning for the Texol. The transport Edward, No. 141, arrived at Ports mouth yesterday with 120 Russian guns and mortars ef heavy calibre, chiefly trophies out of the Reclean During a heavy gale of wind from the'south-west at Sheerness on Sunday the Cressy, 80 guns, screw steam ship, Captain Richard L. Warren, fouled the new scree steam-ship Mars, and while getting steam up in thi height of the gale carried away her flying-jibbooro, jib boom, and bowsprit, the last breaking at the cap. Sin then got in collision with the Colossus, 80 guns, scree steam ship, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, C. 8., and afterwards steamed to an anchorage berth lower dows. the'harbour. A number of the gun-boats also dragger their anchors during the gale of Saturday and Sunda' last, but no serious damage is reported. Such was the violence of the gale that the houses near the town pies were scarcely approachable for the heavy sea breaking iu over the pier and esait ankment. The iron paddle wbeelastearner Lizard, tender to the Waterloo at Sheerness, arrived at Woolwich on Satur day, and landed the detachment of officers and privates of the Royal Marines, lately serving on board her Ma jesty's 60 gun steam-ship Russell, Captain Francis Scott, paid off. The detachment consisted of Captain Congden, with two serjeants, one bugler, and 52 rank and fife. Captain W. B T. Eider, R.M., rejoined head-quar ters Woolwich, yesterday, from her Majesty's screw steam-ship Hawke, at Devonport. The Lords of the Admiralty have instructed the Com mandant of the Royal Marines at Woolwich to assemble a board of officers for the purpose of making such ar rangemAlts as they may see fit for placing the matins canteens on the same footing as those of other branches of the army—namely, to discontinue the sale of spirits and have a fixed weekly rent, instead of the present privilege money for every 10 men per month. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Captain N. Vansittart, to the Magicienne ; Com mander C. M. Luckraft, to the Coast Guard ; Lieut. the lion. W. B. de Require, to the Alban ; Lieut. H. A. Clavering, to the Caradoc ; Lieut. A. Barrow, Lieut. F. J. D'Aguilar, and Lieut. A. H. Webb, to the Hogue, re-commissioned ; the . Rev. J. W.

The following " Revised Prospectus of Examinations for Appointments for the Royal Artillery, and Admis sions to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich," was yesterday issued from the War Department : An examination fur provisional commissions in !the Royal Artillery will commence on Monday, the 30t} June, at King's College, Strand. About twenty appointments will be made, supposing a sufficient number of competent persons to present themselves. The candidates must be between the ages of 20 and 23 years. At the same time, provided a surficient number are found qualified, about 30 admissions will be made to the. Royal Military Academy, the candidates for which must be between the ages of 17 and 20 years. Gentlemen appointed will remain under instruction until they are sufficiently advanced in scientific know lf dge to pass a satisfactory examination. The appointments in both these classes will be detor , mined by the result of a competitive examination. The subjects of examination will be as follows, viz.":— Pure and Mixed Mathematics. Language, Literature, Geography, and History of An. cient Language, Literature, Geography, and History of An cient Greece. Language, Literature, Geography, and History of Ger many. Lmigusge, Literature, Geography, and History of France. English Language, Literature, Composition, Geography, and History. Experimental and Natural Science. Moral and Political Science. Drawing. Every candidate must be examined in Pure Mathema tics, but the choice of the other subjects, and the number which may be brought up for examination is optional. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUBT. THE RUGELEY POISONINGS. [The following appeared in part of our impression of yesterday.] • Examination of Dr. Taylor continued—Antimony to cause sickness would not be perceptible to the taste. A large quantity taken might leave a. tick ling or choking sensation for a time. In the analyses we mado we found no trace of mercury.. If it had been taken recently to the extent of two grainS, I should have expected to bare found some trace of it in the liver. If he bad taken any for a asplii- litic affection, I should have expected to have found it, and if taken within a few hours of death, I should have expected some traces of it would have been found from its slowly passing through the body. Three or four grains taken then, I should have expected, would have been traced. I recollect . finding it on the liver on one occasion 24 hours after being taken ; half& grain had been taken daily for four days previous to death. I have heard the eviden'ce relative to Mrs. Smith's death ; that of Agnes Sinnett, Mrs. Dove, and the gentleman about whom Dr. Moore gave evidence, and I coincide with them in opinion that the three former died from strych nia. Mr. Cook's symptoms were of a similar character to those referred to. As a professor of medical science, I know of no other disease to which Cook's death can be attributed than that it arose from strychnia. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SheerTiailerni IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. THE TIPPERARY BANK CONTRIBUTORIES. The war of words still rages in, Master Murphy's office. Saturday was occupied with the cases of Mr Wilson Kennedy and Mr. Vincent Scully, and at the conclusion of the arguments the Master intimated that his judgment with respect to those gentlemen's claims for exemption would be prepared by Monday (this day). It is said that in the event of judgment being giveu against the English shareholders,, the parties are pre pared to appeal first to the Court of Chancery, and, if unsuccessful there, then to bring the matter before the highest tribunal in the empire, Altogether the prospects of the creditors do not improve, and everything denotes the certainty of a long day before a sixpence shall be touched in the way of a dividend. JOHN SADLEIR'S ASSETS. The Freeman, of this morning has a statement to the effect that the Crown, on the memorial of creditors to the extent of 250,0001., has agreed to appoint Mr. An thony Norris, of Bedford-row, London, and one of the creditors, to be administrator for collecting in the assets of the late John Sadleir. Mr. Norris has consented to act under the authority of the Crown, and will lose no time in realising for the benefit of the unhappy creditors large sums stated to have been invested by the suicide in various securities both at home and abroad. This step will perhaps afford a solution to the prevailing mystery with rePpect to the disposal by the deceased of the gigantic funds realised in the course of his successful career of fraud. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. TIPPERARY BANK. -IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. Mr. Murphy gave judgment this day on the applica tions made by Mr. Wilson Kennedy and Mr. V. Scully, Q.C., MP., to be removed from the list of persons liable to the liquidation of the liabilities of this concern. The Master stated at considerable length Mr. Wilson Kennedy's position in respect to the bank, his director ship, for which he was entitled to a salary of 5001. a-year, and the importance and reeponsibility of the duties attached to that office, which he had held to the date of the transfer, and, after recapitulatin g the law of equity at the bar, said that the case must be deter mined by the deed of co-partnership. His clear opinion was that what was done by Mr. Kennedy was not what he ought to have done, was not what he was justified in doing, and he should therefore stand upon the list as a contributory. Mr. V. Scully was differently circum stanced. He was placed on the list in the same posi tion as Mr. Kennedy, but with a much larger amount of liability—namely, as a holder of 700 shares. Al though he (the Master) bad said there were features which distinguished the two cases, yet really Mr. Scully and Mr. Kennedy stood in the same posi tion. It appeared to him that Mr. Scully was held out constructively to the public as a director of the bank, yet getting no court of directors to meet and doing everything to give validity to the transfer of his shares. He must have had knowledge of the informality con nected with that transfer, and he was possessed of the knowledge which prompted him to sell out. He (the Master) apprehended, then, that Mr. Scully's applica tion could not be sustained in a court of justice. He was the honest bona fide holder of the shares, and his name must therefore remain on the list without qualifi cation. It is understood that this judgment will be ap pealed against to the Master of the Rolls. CORK, MONDAY MORNING. •DEEADFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. A dreadful accident occurred on board the Nimrod steamer, from Liverpool, which arrived this morning at 5 o'clock at the Quay, Cork. As she was swinging round an explosion was ueard on deck, and a dense cloud of smoke was seen to issue from the engine-room, where were found six men lying in various parts of the room. The, bodies presented a fearful appearance when brought on deck. One was found dead, and the others in a dying condition. Two died immediately. Three more were removed to the North Infirmary, where they soon after expired. The accident was caused by the bursting of the boiler. The Armide, frigate, left Brest on the 15th, with 1 convicts on board, for the penitentiary colony of Cayenne. The little town of Aix-ley-Bains, Savoy (says the Courrier de Lyon), has lost by its own fault the disgrace ful establishments which made its fortune—the public gaming-houses. From time immemorial it was quite the fashion in the municipal assemblies of the place to de claim against the play which was permitted in the town. In that way the profits of the crime were enjoyed as well as the honours due to virtuous indignation ; for the Go vernment having always turned a deaf ear to all these manifestations, the good people, of Aix firmly believed that the gaming-houses were a necessary evil. But this year Count de Cavour suddenly took at their word the complaints of the troubled consciences of the town ; and now, behold, all the dealers and hotel keepers, who grew rich on the visitors who eac h year flocked there, are in despair. A few days since the wife of a small farmer, named Letailleur, residing in the village of Montplaisir (Tarn), died in consequence of having caught the glanders from a mule baying that disease. She bad been endeavouring to cure the animal by blowing snuff up its nostrils, and it is supposed that sho must have herself taken a pinch 0 of miff without- having washe d her hands clean after 'tending to the diScased animal, and thus caught the infection. The authorities, on hearing of Ow fact ordered the m u le to be killed.— The horse fair just heid at Liege was better at tended than for years past. A great number of fine horses were disposed of at high prices. Many foreign dealers were present. A melancholy accident occurred on the 11th on the Genoa and Pontedeeinio railway, when the wife of a switchman, having been iunprudeut, uuuugha to erode the line while the train was cot..ning at full speed, was over taken and killed on the spot. As the master of a fishing boat was two days ago pur suing his avocations, about five miles north of Cape Antifer, he perceived part of the hull of a vessel drift ing near him. He immediately steered towards it with the intention of taking it in tow into Etretat, but finding that he could not manage it he stranded it on the nearest part of the coast he could reach, which was near Fahamp, On examination of the wreck it was found to be a pant of the starboard side of a vessel, and measured twenty-six metres in length. Os a copper plate affixed to one of the ribs were the words "Hopwood and Armstrong, London, registered June, 1550." On one of the planks the mas ter of the fishing boat, when be first discovered the wreck, distinctly made, out the word "Woodcock, which was probably the name of the vessel ; but when the wreck grounded this plaak could not be found, or the letters which were painted had been rubbed off. All that can be saved of this piece of wreck v; ill be deposited in charge of the custom-house authorities at F4co:rnp.

Obberro—oppoitc the Yorl; EiQtel. trace means a small quantity ; but I do not use it i❑ that term now. The whole which we found was about half a grain. That would not cause death. The tests are used for antimony after obtaining the deposit by boiling the animal matter. Nothing but arsenic orantimony would de posit upon the copper. We found no sublimate of arsenic. We next used the test of sulphuretted hydrogen, and after 24 hours there was a deposit of a reddish colour, like sul phuret of antimony, and was soluble in hydro-chloric acid. He then described the tests employed, which produced a deposit, which, upon being dissolved in hydro-chlorio acid, converted the black precipitate into antimonial acid. Au inaccuracy in the long pro cess or badness of the instrument might affect the experiment. The antimony which I found might have been taken 3 weeks before. I should think anti mony gets quicker out of the body of an animal than a man. lam acquainted with the works of Orfile. He was one of the most esteemed chemists. He makes mention of a dog in whose body after it had lived 4 months, was found to contain antimony, but that dog took 45 grains. That was a large dose, and mme of the dogs died who had taken the dose. I never knew of a case of such a quantity being taken. We cannot clearly tell when it gets out of the body. I was first applied to about this body upon the 21st of November ; it was by Mr. Warrington. I did not know Gardner. I have not had any previous cases at Rugeley. Mr. Stevens and Boycott brought in the jar with the contents of the stomach. I wrote a letter in answer, giving my opinion of the cause of death. The letter was here read, and went on to state that the contents of the stomach did not give the pre sence of either strychnia, prussic acid, or opium ; but that the deceased might have died from the effects of anti mony. A man will vomit upon first taking anti mony—part will go out by the bowels and part by the urine. Orfile inclines to the opinion that in from 4 to 17 hours it passes out from the urine. I believe I was justified in coming to the opinion that Cook might have died from antimony. The quantity found in the uody does not always prove the cause of death. Any antimonial preparation, taken judiciously or injudiciously, might have given the results •f antimony which we Arrived at. James's powder, or any such preparation, might have left enough in the system. The accounts which I received of Cook's death guided me in the opinion I came to, that he, Cook, might have died from the effects of antimony. Mr. Sergeant Shee—Do you allow yourself to be di rected in the opinion you arrive at by hearsay statements? —A man may die from many sorts of poisons. The learned professor explained that an account of how a man died would tend to assist and direct him in the analysis!, het not.influence the opinion of such analysis beyond guiding him in the conclusions dtsteitV that 'the . symptoms exhibited by the deceased had been caused by whatever poison might be traced. I was not at the inquest on Cook at its commencement. Some of the evidence was read over to me. Dr. Har land was being examined. I also heard Dr. Bamford, Lavinia Barnes, and Elizabeth Mills examined, had not experimented on the rabbits before I went to the in quest. Five of the rabbits r,,,were experimented on 25 years ago. I had a great objection to destroy life ex cept in extreme cases. My last experiments were made after the inquest. I don't oonsider a rabbit an unfair test ; dogs are not so good. They are not so dangerous to handle. I think the rabbits as good as any animal, as the poison is retained and the effects are visible. I attended the inquest and suggested questions. They were put to the witnesses. I remember Roberts being examined, but I only paid attention to the medical part of the case. I did not hear Roberts say strychnia had been bought, but I knew it had been bought on the Tuesday from Mr. Gardner's letter to me, and it was with that knowledge, and after hearing some of the evi dence, that I gave my opinion. Sergeant Shee-ad think, my lord, we ought here to Gave the witness's depositions read. The Lord Chief Justice —Very well. The Clerk then read the evidence given by Dr. Alfred Taylor at the inquest held on Mr. Cook. Examination continued—l returned to town imme diately after giving my evidence, and the prisoner was committed for wilful murder. I thought it my duty to abstain from all discussion calculated to influence the public mind. I wrote a letter to the Lancet contradict ing some statements that had been made. The letter was here read. It was one complaining of certain statements, and also . misquotations that had been made from his evidence. The court adjourned for a quarter of an hour. On the jury returning to their box, The cross-examination► of Dr. Taylor was then pro ceeded with. The last portion of the letter was strictly correct, and it was still his opinion. The mode in which the result of this trial will affeet the accused is of minor importance compared to the interests of 16 millions of persons. He had no prejudice against the man, but he had a duty to the community as well as to the prisoner to perform. I never knew that a likeness or rather a "caricature " of myself and Dr. Rees was taken for the Illustrated Times. Ido not know anything of the person taking the likeness. Mr. A. Mayhew called on me with a letter from Professor Faraday, and I received him as I should the professor himself. He did not tell me until after the conversation had taken place that he was connected with the illustrated Times. I think the information was obtained in a very indirect manner. After I detected the imposition I desired everything connected with the Rugeley cases might be excluded. I never said to a gentleman tamed Cook Evans, " I will give them enough strychnine before I have done with them." I never uttered anything so low or vulgar. I most positively deny that I ever used the term, and the person who has instructed you (Sergeant Shee) has very much misinformed you. As regards the effect of strychnia on the human frame, I don't think I ever saw a single case, but I have a knowledge of the subject. Cook was seized with tetanic symptoms after he sat up in his bed. I cannot refer to any case in any book where the symptoms exhibited by Cook are described. Thebeating of the bedclothes by Cook would prove that he was very uneasy from a sense of suffocation. The tetanic symptoms occurred after the beating of the bed clothes. I have heard of one case of tetanus. The patient had a fit like ague. I know of no case where the patient screamed before the fit. I have never known a patient scream when attacked by tetanus, but will in ordinary convulsions. I cannot say whether a person affected with tetanic spasms would be affected by the touch ; animals would. I know of a fatal case from strychnine, where a healthy young female had taken strychnine and no effect produced for an hour. The case is reported in medical jurisprudence. She took a grain and a half. There is another case, not fatal, where the patient was not attacked for two hours after the taking the istrychnii. Dr. Christison reports a case where death ensued in three hours and three quarters after the ingestion of strychnia. l am o f op i, then, that in that case the convulsions did not commence until three hours afterwards. There is another case, where a female took a very large dose in a state of solu tion, and was some time before she was attacked. Ido not know of any fatal case where the sympt oms h ave menifetted themselves go long as nu hour atol ^ half motel' the ingestion of the poison. The recovery of Cook upon the night of Monday may be attributed to the nature and quantity of the dine. Ido not linow that he was Well in 0 0 abort A time. In a case where half an ounce of nux vomica had been taken, convulsions subsided in four hours and a half. ' It is not so strong as strycheine ; strychnine is the agent. • Sergeant Shee—Unve you known any other case where, after strychnine has been taken, that the symp toms subsided so soon as they did in Cnek's case ?—I do not ; neither do \ I know any case where the paroxysm subsided for so long a time as they did in Cook's case, from - the Monday to Tuesday. I do not think that the dose upon Monday had anything to do with he atttack upon Tuesday. Ido not know of a case where the - body lane been pliant after death. The oeloured tests cannot be depended upon unless you get strychnine in a tangible form. By the Attorney-General—l have met with eiases in my reading whore the heart was found empty after death in a human subjeCt. I have met with three such cases. I ascribe the emptiness of the heart to spasmodic action. If the Paroxysms were severe and &heel expect to find the heart empty: The rigidity after death in the cases I have seen always affected the muscles of the back. The dura tion of time in which the symptoms would first appear would vary according to the constitution and the absorp tion. One of the earliest symptoms of death by strychnine is the feeling of suffocation. I have no doubt but that that which I produced was antimony. Supposing antimony was given to produce sickness, some would be thrown off during the vomiting. I suggested some questions to the coroner, because he did not pet such as 'would enable me to form an opinion. It was not intentional, but he did not appear to understand the medical bearing of the case. I also observed that there was an omission in taking down some of the answers. I referred to antimony as the cause of Cook's death, as it was the only sub stance found in his body after death. I have been misrepresented as to the possibilities of discovering strychnia after death very much indeed. What I said to the coroner was that strychnia absorbed by the blood could not be extracted as strychnia. Dr. Rees, lecturer at Guy's Hospital—l assisted Dr. Taylor in the analysis. It has been very correctly given. The antimony discovered might have bean ad ministered within a few hours or days of death. The amount discovered was no test of the amount administered. We failed to discover strychnia. The stomach was pre sented most unfavourably for analysis. The stomach had been turned inside out, the mucous surface rub bing against the intestines. The contents, had there been any, must have been mixed among the intestines. This being the state of the stomach it was very difficult to discover strychnia. I agree with Dr. Taylor that strych nia is absorbed before it causes death. I also agree that it is only the excess that is found. I have seen the experiments of Dr. Taylor with the rabbits, and I assisted in , discovering the strychnia after the death of the animals. We de stroyed four animals, and failed to detect it in three. The symptoms of death resembled Cook's case. I have heard the details of all the cases that have been detailed during this trial, and they are analogous to the experi ments I have produced in animal life. Cross-examined by Mr. Grove—The strychnia was administered by pills. The animal is thrown on its hack, its legs secured by the hands, and the mouth opened and the pills introduced. In the four cases mentioned there was no sickness. In the fifth case, which I did not see, a portion was ejected. There was no great putrefaction in the sto mach of Cook when it was received. By the Attorney-General—The presence of antimony was clearly shown. Professor Brandt—l am professor of chemistry at the Royal Institution. I was net present at the analysis of the liver and spleen of Cook, but I had a report sent to me for my opinion. I was present at Guy's Hospital on the 3d of May. We then examined, in the first place, the action of copper upon, a weak solution of an timony. We found that thereigas no action until the solution slightly acidified by the acid and heated. The antimony was then deposited, and I am enabled to state that the deposit was antimony. Cross-examined byMr. Greve—The case which I have just alluded to was one made of emetic tartar for the Tt is 7hat is called Rich's test in reference to arsenic. I only know‘of three substandietr are thrown down. They are arsenic, antimony, and I believe bismuth. Mercury will deposit without the application of heat, as well as with its application. By the Attorney-General—The tests applied were the proper tests. I have no doubt but that antimony was present. Professor Christison, of Edinburgh University, said— I have, amongst other poisons, turned my attention to strychnia. In my opinion strychnia is absorbed in the blood, and by its action on the nervous system proves fatal. I have seen its action on the human body, but not fatal—it was through an overdose being taken. I have frequently seen experiments on frogs, cats, dogs, and one wild boar. I first directed my attention to this poison (str3chnia) in 1820, in Paris. It was discovered two years before that date, in that city. The doses in most of my experiments have been very small doses—in some cases a sixth of a grain. The poison has been in jected into the cavity of the chest by a small incision. A sixth part of a grain killed a dog in two minutes. I have administered it occasionally into the stomach. A rabbit was used. Tim animal died, but I cannot now recollect the time. I have seen one of the experiments made by Dr. Taylor. He gave about three quarters of a grain, but a very small quantity was not swallowed by the animal, and the symptoms in those animals, were, speaking generally, a slight tremor and unwillingness to move ; then fre quently the animal jerks its head backward, and soon afterwards all the symptoms of tetanus came on that have been so often described by previous witnesses. Occasionally there is a remission of the symptoms. From the time of the giving of the poison to the coming on of the first symptoms 12 minutes will elapse. Death generally takes place in about 25 minutes. The jaws and neck are affected first, and then the trunk and extremities. I have observed differences in the same species of animals. Some die in one con tinuous paroxysm ; but that is uncommon. I have commonly found a resumption of the symptoms before death, and the animals very generally die quietly; the rigidity is gene, and the body is flaccid ; the ri gidity comes on again soon after death. I have opened the bodies after death, and could never trace any effect of the poison in the stomach, or upon the spinal cord and brain. I never could satisfactorily find anything to trace to poison. The hearts of some animals I have not found empty, others I have. In cases of overdose by people, I have seen there was a fixing of .the retraction of the head, a grinning expression, a slight stiffness of the arms, great alarm in the patient, no convulsions of the lower limbs. It would take longer in a large than a small subject. In the case of the wild boar, it was injected into the breast, a third of a grain ; it died in about ten minutes. Nux vomica will sometimes not take an effect for an hour ; it would operate slower in the solid form, and protract the appearance of the symptoms ; it might be mixed so as to protract its operation with a resinous substance, or anything diffi, cult of digestion. Some resinous substances are used for making pills. Absorption would take place as soon as the substance of the pill began to be broken down or digested. We cannot, with our present knowledge, fix the precise time when absorption commences. When we give it to an animal we take care that it has fasted, that it may the more readily take effect, and give it in a soluble state that it may soon take effect. I have seen many cases of tetanus from both causes. Ordinary tetanus and tetanus from strychnine do not differ, but the course is different. Ordinary tetanus proceeds more slowly, and in certain forms it proceeds without any inter mission. There are short ones in that from strychnine. I heard the description of Cook's case OR Monday and Tuesday, and I should refer it to strychnine or to the Ig natius bean, snakewood, and two other plants of the same class as nux vomica, all of which yield strychnine. As long as one can make any observation upon the sensibility it remains in the animal up to the final spasm which de prives it of consciousness. In animals the heart will contain blood, but it differs in the human frame, but that will depend upon the circumstances of death. When it is spasm of the heart it will be emptied. I should not expect to find strychnia after death unless the exces s of the dose taken was great. Vegetable poisons are more difficult to detect than others. I know of one that cannot be detected. Attorney•General—Wo will not hear it named. Witness—l consider that the state of the stomach in Cook's UN was tot at all favourable to analysis, and there must have been a good deal in the stomach to have found it ender those circumstanees: - Cross-examined by car.

PANCRAS. -Last evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Paneras was .held iu the Vestry Hall, King's-road, Camden-town, for the purpose of eliciting the opinion of the public upon the recent stoppage of the bands in Kensington-gardens and the parks, by order of the Go vernment. W. D. COOPER, Etq., baying been voted to the chair, called upon Mr. KENNY, the honorary secretary, to read the various correspondence from gentlemen who were prevented attending the meeting. Jacob Bell, Mr. G. Cruikshank, and Mr. Charles Dickens were among the correspondents. The folio a-ing letter from the latter gentleman was read amidst loud applause Ta,vistock House, Monday, May 19. " Mr. T. Ross, Mr. J. Kenny. "Gentlemen,—l Lave received a letter signed by you. (which I assume to be written mainly on behalf of what are called working men and their families) inviting me to attend a meeting ;n our parish Vestry Hall this even ing-, on the stoppage of the Sunday bands in the parks. " I thoroughly agree with you that those bands have afforded an innocent and healthful enjoyment on the Sun day afternoon to which the people have a right. But I think it essential that the working people should of themselves, and by themselves, assert that right. They have been informed on the high authority of their first Minister (lately rather in want of House of Commons votes, I am told) that they are almost indifferent to it. The correction of that mistake—if cfficial omniscience can be mistaken—lies with themselves. "In case it should be considered by the meeting (which I prefer for this reason not to attend) expedient to unite with other metropolitan parishes in forming a fund for the payment of such expenses as may be ia curred in peaceably and numerously representing to the governing powers the harmless recreation they have taken away is very much wanted, I beg you to put down my name as a subscriber of ten pounds, and I am your faithful servant, " CHARLES DICKENS." The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, remarked that the question which they had met to consider was one of the must importarc, to the well-being of the peo ple. An attempt was being made to dictate to the two and-a-quarter millions of the inhabitants of London by the puritanical observers of the Sabbath on the other side of the 'Tweed. It was, therefore, incumbent on the people to stand up for their rights, and peaceably but strenuously to assert them. [Sir B. Hall was here an nounced, and was received with loud and reiterated ap plause and waving of hats ] He (the chairman) sin cerely trusted that the Sabbath would never be observed in London as it was in Giasgow. It was with regret and surprise that he saw my Lord Palmerston was the man to put the chain round the neck of their excellent member Sir B. Hall, who in this matter had so truth fully represented the feelings and wishes of the people. But if the people were true to themselves they might defy the S2otch Sabbatarians—indeed, Scotland itself, if it came across the Tweed, to interfere with their rights. Wm. TAPPING, Esq., moved the first resolution : "That the performance of music in the public parks on the Sunday afternoon is erainentlycalculited to pro mote the health, happiness, and morality of the people ; and this meeting hereby expresses its regret and indig nation at the sudden withdrawal of so useful and inno cent a means of popular enjoyment. (Applause.) Mr. JOHN IVORY seconded the resolution, which was put and carried almost unanimously, amidst reiterated applause. Sir B. HALL then addressed the meeting. Ho felt anxious to address that vast assemblage on the import ant question before them. It was with regret that he had to state that his noble friend Lord Ebrington had been suddenly attacked with opthalmia, and he trusted that his constitutents would be as considerate towards his noble colleague as they had been to him (Sir B. Hall) when similarly suffering from affliction. He had done all he could, and not without success he felt, to ascertain the wants of the people of the metropolis. He had formed certain opinions, and to them he held fast. (Hear.) It was with regret that the innocent recreation which he had obtained for the people was no longer to be within their reach. He was informed that the decision which had been come to was in consequence of me morials addressed to the House of Commons, and peti ... tions to the Crown. He did not wish to find fault With the manner in which petitions were got up, but he did feel justified in stating what some of these petitions and memorials contained. (Hear.) The prayer of the memo rialists was not only that museums and other such places should remain closed, but they desired also that all steam boats should cease to ply on the Sunday, (No, and hear.) He would say and prove that such was the fact ; not only this, but all trains were to cease to issue from the stations —nay more, the gates of the parks were to be closed on the Sunday. (Shame, and No.) Some per. sons might say no, because they did not like to hear such things, but in a few days, by an order of the house, these petitions would be printed. (Hear, hear.) But would the dissentients believe that some went so far as to pray that instructions should be seat to all foreign ministers to use their exertions to get the Sabbath, in the countries where they resided, similarly observed. The only conclusion that he (Sir B. Hall) could coins to was, that the petitioners were not aware of the absurdities they were signing. Some time ago a de putation had waited upon him and stated that no carriages should enter the parks. More, one gentle.. man, a City Missionary, considered skating in the parks was most improper. (Hear, and laughter.) Lately we had a letter printed in the papers from Mr. Raines, of Leeds. (Hisses.) In that letter he paid a very poor compliment to the inhabitants of the metros polis when he said that out of a crowd of 90,000 persons there must be some wicked persons who would seek to seduce the innocent and unwary. (Hear.) In the course of last Sunday week there were no fewer than 285,000 persons iu the parks, and he would ask did any one of that vast number go away a worse man or a worse wo man ? (No, no.) The whole number of persons whose labour was required for the amusement of the vast mul titude was only 25. Why did not Mr. Baines write down the Sunday trains which issued from Leeds I Simply because he dare not. (Cheers.) As we were told what we should not do, he would like some one to issue a pamphlet headed by Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord Blandford, and Arthur Kinnaird. and entitled "Mow to keep the Sabbath." (Cheers.) Were the people better in places where the Sabbath was strictly observed, or where it was not so strictly observed (Hear.) He could say from experience that in neither Glasgow nor Edinburgh, where you " may nae whistle to your dog," were the people better, happier, or more moral than they were at Windsor, where the sound of music was heard on a Sunday. (Rear.) But what would the people say when he (Sir B. Hall) told them that a compromise was proposed—(shame)—that he had been actually told that had he been conteuted with Kensington-gardanshe would not have been interfered with? But what would his consti tuents have said had he been so hypocritical as to say that that was right in Kensington-gardens which was wrong in Victoria and Regent's Parks ? (Hear.) Those who went to Kensington-gardens had music in their own homes. (Hear, hear.) It was his duty, as a represen tative of the people and as a minister of the Crown, to see that all classes were equally dealt with. He had personally visited the various parks, and could bear tes timony to the excellentconduct of those who were essen tially the people—so careful were the people of the parks that it required nothing more than their own good sense to protect them. In giving a baud to the people on Sunday, he was under the conviction that he was doing no wrong to God or man. He would ask those who were opposed to him not to condemn because they did not agree on all points. It was with deep regret that he had been compelled to discontinue the recreation he had provided. One thing in conclusion. He would urge upon the people to continue that conduct which up to this time was so admirable—a continuance of such conduct would at least convince the opponents to the bands that they have been wrong. (Hear, hear.) As to Lord Palmerston, he had heard from his lordship that evening that his opinion was that the music in the parks was of an elevating character and useful to the working classes. (Hear, hear.) Of the many meetings he had attended in that ball during the last 20 years he had never seen so crowded or so enthusiastic, and he would say, notwithstanding some slight interruptions, so or derly a meeting. In conclusion, he would say that as he had been so he would continue to be—the unflinch ing representative of the people's interests. (Loud cheers, amidst which the right hon. baronet retired.) Mr. CLEMENTS proposed the second resolution : " That a deputation be hereby appointed to wait on. Lord Palmerston and represent to him the feeling of dissatisfaction which prevails among the working classes of the metropolis at the withdrawal his of the Su nday bands ; and also t o intimate tolordship that a strong manifest andt their feelings rly de m demonstra tion ttrhae- C matter by means o desire is felt to f peacefula by yhe an open-air meeting." resolution and d enounce d oa Mr. in HART theART metropolissd the t he new H o ly Alliance, headed by Baines, of Leeds, an d the Archbishop of Canterbury. (Hear.) M r . SINDSN proposed an amendment, to the effect that an open-air meeting on the Lord's-day was ob jectionable. Mr. CHARLES BURKE seconded the amendment amidst great uproar. A few hands having been held up for the amend. ment, the resolution was carried amidst loud applause. J. WEDGWOOD, Esq., of Cumberland-terrace, Re. gent's-park, a member of the present vestry of St. Pancras, moved, and Mr. Ross seconded, the follow ing resolution :--" That the thanks of this meeting be given to Sir B. Hall for the enlightened and straight. forward manner in which be has maintained the right of the people to innocent recreation on the Sunday, till forced to yield to the commands of superior au• thority." which was carried RCM. con., and the meet ing separated at a late hour, a cordial vote of thanks having ' been previously given to Mr. Cooper for his conduct in the chair.
