THE TIPPERAEX BANK. The Master basTust4ivenjudgmeftagainst the claims for exemption put forward on behalf of the English share holders. Master Murphy'referred to several cases adju dicated upon in England, and delivered his opinions at great length, in a clear and comprehensive manner. In the course of the j idgment the Master observed that, although John Sadleir had the power of exercising a wonderful ascendancy over all who c:.rne within his reach, and although he had perpetrated those frauds to an enormous amount, the persona so impos e d upon by him became positive shareholders in the company, and thereby entitled to share the profits, if any, arising from that branch of trade, and being so entitled they should also be held responsible for the loss incurred by the fail. ure. On looking to the law and the facts of the case, and having a vigilant regard, to the best of his ability, to the able arguments he had beard, he arrived at the conclusion that there was nothing in the ease to justify him in removing the names of the English shareholders from the list. There they would remain as shareholders, and be held accountable. AN AMOROUS TURK.- .Q May 9. Something similar to ttie well known abduction case of the Greek girl at T - oultcha occurred a Kullallee, on the Bosphorus, about a week sints, but happily not with such a terribl e resu l t. The inhabitants of this cap i ta l have a custom of astembling at the Sweet Waters of Europe and Asia twice a week for recreation ; and it was at the recent reunion of the Sweet Waters of Europe and Aria that a very pretty Greek girl, daughter of a most respectable and wealthy merchant, of Kullallee, unfor tunately attracted the attention of a Turkish paella , who, without ceremony, proceeded at once to carry her off. The poor girt was, however, rescued and taken back to her house, which the pacha surrounded with his ser vants and creatures, and enimavoured to force. The merchant immediately applied for aid to the officer corn ma•ading her Majesty's troops, Gen. Wooldridge, when fiat gallant officer despatched his brigade major, Capt. Mills, to the amorwas Turk, with the salutary informa tion that the lady and her relations were under the pro tect'on of the fitg of the German Legion, and that any further insult or injury offered to any member of tht family would be visited with summary chastisement. This had the desired effect, for the general's character is so well known to the natives, that the paella felt if he persisted in his base attempts he would, in all proba bility, adorn the first tree without further ceremony. The lady, or her friends, however, would not be safe for one hour after the British troops left ; and they were, therefore, preparing to leave at the same time. REPORTED .Loss OF THE YACHT.

(LON DON , SAT U R DAY EVEN I UPER,IAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY). The LORD CILINCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord RA.VENSWORTFT presented a petition in favour of an alteration in thc, County Courts Act. Lord. DUNGANNON presented a petition against the Maynooth Grant ; also one against the Oath pf Ab• juratio❑ Bill. Lord BERNERS presented a petition from Leicester in favour of the bid for the amendment of the County CJurts. The Bishop of-LICEIFIELD presented several peti tions against the ebelitien of Church rates, and also Petitions against the opening of places of amusement on Sundays. ST. JAMES'S PARK AND ITS APPROACHES. Lord RAVENSWORTH rose to call attention to certain circumstances hi connection with the projected approaches from Pall-mall to St. Jaares's-park, and the defects of the east front of St. James's Palace. The noble lord objected to the contemplated removal of the Garman Chapel, believing that it was not calcu lated to confer the advantages of relieving the traffic at Charing-cross, which it was supposed it would do. He thought that the abolishing of the toll at Waterloo-bridge would be far more likely to relieve that crowded thoroughfare than the proposed alterations in St. James's-park. The noble lord then went on to say that he thought the time had arrived when some im provement ought to be made to the east front of St. James's Palace. It had an appearance at present highly discreditable. He thought that an attempt to follow Out the style of building in the new hall lately erected in Lineetil'eeinn could he male, anVat the same time, it would greatly improve the appeararitrof the royal pa lace. At present it was a building utterly unworthy of this great country. The interior arrangethents were also highly objeetionable, the confusion created in the lobbies and staircase on the occasion of her Ma jesty kidding a drawing -room was such that the safety of the ladies attending alone ought to be of itself sufficient to cause some alteration to be immediately made. It was a proper time, when it was contem plated to improve the approaches of the park, to consider whether the court-yards attached to that building might not he dedicated to better and more advantageous purposes, and whether the palace might not be rendered worthy of the mete°. polis, both to its internal embellishments and external accommodation. The noble lord then proceeded to take objection to the position of the statues that at present ex isted in the metropolis. The statue of Pitt in Hanover-square, he said, was exceedingly bad, as was the case with the statue of the Duke of Kent in Port land-place. It looked like a small black man hiding himself behind some trees. He thought that it would be paying a compliment to her Majesty if the statue of her royal father was removed from its present position, and placed in a more appropriate site near Buckingham Palace. The noble lord next alluded to the pictures bequeathed to the nation by Mr. Tur ner. The pictures were at present stowed away in a cellar, although they were worth their weight in gold. He had lately seen three pictures by that eminent artist sold for 5,000 guineas. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the pictures alluded to were in a place of safety until a building worthy of the arts could be erected for their reception. Lord REDESDALE denounced the plan recom mended by the committee for the proposed road through St. James's-park; Whether for beauty or convenience it was about the 'worst that could have been suggested. He did not see why the road should not be taken straight into Pall-mall. The truth was, the plan had been de signed on the assumption that it was necessary to make a road through the park. He (Lord Redesdale) did not see any such necessity; but, on the contrary, he thought it would be for the interests of the public that the pri vacy of the park should be preserved. Tne Marquis of LA.NRICADE saidthat St. James's palace had in it some excellent rooms. All that was wanted was an improvement in the exits and entrances. Lord ST. LEONARDS complained of the unsightly rows of chimner;s on Somerset-house. He quite concurred in thinking It. 'desirable to erect a noble pile of buildings to receive all the public offices; for he objected to the plan of taking palaces, houses fit for the most opulent noblemen, for the offices of the different commissions. At the sometime, before the Government embarked on any new building operations he hoped they would finish what they had in hand. The dispute with Sir Charles Barry was most unseemly ; and though he must say that ke thought the Government were right, it was one that ought not to be allowed to continue for 12 hours. The proposed plan was to inclose New Palace-yard; and really the Government might have created eyesores for the purpose of making Parliament willing to acquiesce in their scheme. The west face of the clock tower ob. viously co_uld not be left in its present state ; and in order to afford shelter for members' horkes the Govern ment bad put up an erection like a c. , al-house. It was a sort of thing that none of their lordships would give 101. to have put up for any purphse, or if they did they would be glad immediately to give 201. to have it pulled down. (Laughter.) The Earl of MALMESBURY wished to know what chance there was of the Government commencing the re building of the Government offices in Downing-street. The residence of the Foreign Minister was in such a condition that he could not give a party without hav ing his house shored up, and people were then in peril of their lives. In fact, the mieister who, from his offi cial relations, was obliged to give some receptions, had no house in which he c )uld receive the public. Gene rally speaking, the office was held by persons who had an adequate fortune ; but still one might be appointed who was without large private means ; and he (Lord Malmesbury) could only say that the salary was not equal to the necessary outlay which the acceptance of the office entailed. It was not every one that was able, like the noble marquis opposite (Lord Lansdowne), to receive distinguished guests accredited to them from fo reign sovereigns—such as he was himself obliged to re ceive on the occasion of the Dake of Wellington's fune ral. Formerly the official residence of the foreign mi nister, though it never was very handsome, was fit for an official residence. It had, at least, kitchens and bed rooms, which the present had not—(a laugb)—and when a person was appointed to the office, the first thing he must now do would be to hire a house, at an expense to him of not less than a thousand a year. Re agreed with the noble and learned lord in what ho had said with re spect to the engaging of extraneous buildings for the public service ; but it was not always possible to get suitable premises at the moment they were required. Still it was no doubt a great pity to see Pembroke-house, for instance, with its staircase and ceilings which money could scarcely buy, occupied by clerks and scriveners. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that a plan for the rebuilding of the Government offi,ies had been sub mitted to the other house, and it rested with them to say how far it should be adopted. If that plan were carried out it would not only be a great public improvement, but he believed it would also be conducive to economy, by rendering it unnecessary to hire houses for the public offices. (floor.) Earl STA.NHOPE thought it would be desirable to adopt the Continental syAera of placing suitable in scriptions on statues erected to distinguished men, in stead of a bare record of the date of their birth and of their death. (Hear.) The subject then dropped. TRANSPORTATION. On the motion of Earl STANHOPZ a select committee to inquire into the present system of secondary punish ment was appointed. Drainage ((Private Advances) Act Amendment Bill was read a second time. Smoke Nuisance Abatement Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Procedure Before Justices (Scotland) Bill passed through committee. COUNTY COURTS AMENDMENT BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEYpresented a petition from Manchester, praying that the record court of that city should not be exempted from the operation of this bill. The Lord CHANCELLOR said there had been peti tions from Liverpool and other places praying that:other courts might be exempted, and it was his intention to withdraw the clause. Their lordships then adjqurned. HOUSE ON' CON2:IIONS.-•(Y2STERDAY.) The SPZAKER took the cha;r at 5 miolites to 4 o'clock, PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Hampstead Junction Railway ; Metro politan Railway ; Mid-Kent Direct Railway (Bromley to St. Mary's Cray) ; and Westminster Terminus Rail way. NEW WRIT. On tae motion of Mr. HAYTEII, a no w writ was ordered for Lichfl,..ld, in the room of Lard Waterpark, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. THE REFORMERS OF THE WORLD. Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition from the re formers of the world signed by Mr. Robert Owen, whom he looked upon as a well-intentioned man, prayinr, that the views of the society might be adop ted b y the house and the people for hastening the arrival of the mil lennium—(laughter)—and also another equally im pertinent and silly petition from the Investi gation Society at Sheffield, cemplaining that "the Pienipotentiaries at Paris had exceeded their duty." (Laughter.) If that was not plain speaking he did not know what was, but as the petitions were both respect fully worded towards the house, he had no objection to present them, although he differed from both. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Igr, T. DUNOOXBE asked the First l+ord of the MAY 24, 1856. Admiralty when the medals Promised to the officers and men engaged in the Arctic search for Sir J. Frank is and hie companions were to be dieteibuted ? Sir C. WOOD sa=d be could not give an answer to the cfrestion. Delay had occurred inieciding the de sign for the medal. e • tiL . GUANO. 1111 Mr. HORSFALL asked the 'Fiist Lord of the Treasury if be could give any information as to thee quantity.of guano On'the islands in the Kooria Moorie Bay, do the south-east coast of Arabia, uudtrstood to be ceded to the British Crown, And what restric tions had been placed on the removal of it ; and, whether any exclueive right to the guano had been granted to any person or persons; and, if so, the names of such persons, and the terms of such grant ? Lord PALMERSTON said there was only a limited quantity of guano, on those islands; The right to take guano from them for three years had been granted to a certain company fora certain amount of money. CRIMEAN MEDALS. Colonel DUNNE asked the Under'Secretary for War whether certain officers and men who arrived in the Crimea subsequently to the 18th of September had re ceived decorations which they were subsequently directed to give up, and the reason for this proceeding ? Mr. F. PEEL said that 30 of the;plen of the artillery that bad returned to this couartry,'lend who were not t in the Crimea the day after th e 1h S e ptember, had been called upon to return th e me d s he had given to them in mistake. PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT BILL. In answer to a question from jr. SrooNFa, Mr. LOWE said he should proceed with the Partner ship Amendment Bill ontlionday; SANDH URST coLmgq4.' Oa the motion for the adjournmerat **tee house, • Colonel NORTH asked the Under Sedetary for War, • whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to carry iota effect the recommendation of the Sand hurst Committee with respect to the establishment of the orphan class of cadets at that College? Colonel DUNNE asked what steps had been taken in reference to the committee's report relative to the educati)n of staff officers? Mr. PEEL said the Government intended to carry out the report of the committee with reference to these cadets, but provision for the purpose must be made by the Government, as there were no funds for it belonging to the College. With regard to the other question, the subject was under consideration. SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS. The Marquis of BLANDFORD asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether, in consequence of the state of health of several of the prelates of the Church, who are unhappily disabled from attending to their dioceses, it was the intention of the Government to take any steps to put in force the powers of the Act 26 Henry VIII., c. 14, "for the nomination and consecration of Suffragans within this Realm ;" or, if not, whether the subject was still one which had occupied the attention of her Majesty's Government, with a view to providing a suitable re medy Air. HADFIELD proposed an addition to the ques tion., aiAl he felt satisfied the house would believe him when he stated he sympathised with the noble marquis and the sufferings of the bishops. (Laughter.) He was in earnest iu what he said, and he was sure the country would re-echo it if the bishops were removed from the House of Lords. (Laughter.) It was the most painful thing to him—(laughter)—to find that the reverend gentlemen interfered so much with tem poral matters, and he said they had always ob structed the passing of every popular and necessary measure. (Laughter.) He felt satisfied Churchmen would be pleased to see them out of that house, and the Church established would be benefitted by it. He wished to now if the subject had engaged the attention of Go vernment,and if the noble lord intended to make any alte ration in the way he (qr. Hadfield) suggested? (Laughter.) Sir .1. PAKINGTON said it was necessary to the interests of the Church that something should be done with reference to the inability of right rev. prelates to attend to their duties. He thought the precedent of the Indian and Colonial bishops might be beneficially ap plied to the English bishops. Mr. 0. STANLEY said that the Act 26 Henry VIII. could only be put in force at the request of the Bishop himself. He alluded to the correspondence that had lately been published with reference to him self and the Bishop of Bangor, which it was to be re gretted had been made public for the sake of the Church. That correspondence was published at the request of the Bishop, and therefore he felt no delicacy in alluding to it, and to ask the noble lord to give some assurance that means would be taken to pre vent such a repetition of conduct on the part of the right reverend gentleman alluded to. The right reverend gen tleman he believed had been led to act as he had from the infirmities of age, &c,, under which he was labouring, and it was to be regretted that a gentleman, whose mind was at one time of the Ixfgheetiklap,sa4`l4rtywal ..saaimeminent for his charity' and viziassc litfrorop* lost all control over his temper as to have scandalised the country with such a correspondence as that he bad published. (Bear, hear.) Lord PAL NIERSTON—The matter, as mentioned by the Marquis - of Blaudford, bad been for seine time, and was, under the consideration of the Government, but it was a question besot with difficulties. With regard to the supplemental question of tho hon. member for Shef field, he could only say that he did not at all concur with him in the opinion he expressed, that the bishops were out of place in the other house of Parliament. It did not form part of their intention to make any change in that respect. B lore ho sat down, he wished to express a hope that no other hon. gentleman would put a ques tion to him on that motion, as he would have no oppor tunity of replying. CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND) ACT. In reply to a question from Mr. BUTT, Mr. HORSMAN said the now law should be recom mended by the Lord-Lieutenant, and sanctioned by the Treasury. He was in communication with the Trea sury, but nothing was yet finally settled. It was not in tended to renew the Critne and Oatrage Act of last ses sion, but a new measure had been prepared re-enacting what was necessary, and omitting the objectionable pro visions, which he hoped to be able to lay on the table in the course of the evening. THE ILLUMINATIONS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished to ask a question in re ference to the approaching celebration of her Majesty's birthday. An impression had gone abroad that her Ma- jesty's Government had given orders fora general Mu minAtion. He believed the Government had no such power. It was believed that if people did not illuminate interested parties would go about breaking windows. He wished to know whether, if private persons did not illuminate, they would receive that protection for their property from the police to which they were entitled? A great number would go out to see the fireworks, and the servants would go too, and it would be very unpleasant when they returned home to find their houses broken jut - ) and illuminated in a way they did not expect. ("Hear," and laughter.) Sir G. GREY said there could not be the slightest doubt that the Government had no power to order a general illumination, and lee had so stated in answer to several applications made to him. He believed it was now well known that it was neither wished nor expected that there should be a general illumination—that is, ge- ueral in the sense that every private house shall be illu minated. The police would have orders to give all the protection in their power to private property ; people would be so much engaged on that night admiring the fireworks that they would not have time for mischief. DR. :30UTRWOOD SMITH. Mr. ROEBUCK said that some time last year, after a negotiation between Dr. Southwood Smith and the Trea sury, it was agred that the Dr. should receive a pension of 000/. a year. On the veto for civil contingencies for the year, there appeared a vote of 3001. compensation to Dr. Smith. He wished to know whether that was on account of the pension? Mr. WILSON said that the vote in question was to discharge a sum of 3001. which bad been paid to Dr. Smith last year, in anticipation of his pension, as it was not thought fair to make him wait for 12 months. COSTA RICA. AND NICARAGUA. Lord J. RUSSEL L had intended to ask a question of his noble friend the First Lord of the Treasury, but after the intimation given he would pos t p one it to Monday. It was as to th e authority of a letter signed E. Ham mond, which had appeared in the papers, with regard to the furnishi ng arms t o th e Government of Costa Rica, and wheth er th a t f urn i s hi n g of arms implied any inten tion on the part of her Majesty's Government to take part in the hostilities between Casta,Rica and Nicaragua. The motion for the adjournment was then agreed to. OATH OF ABJURATION BILL. On the motion of 2.1 r. 141. GiBsON, the house went into committee on this bill. Clause 1. Mr. F. THESIGER moved to leave out the words " and the assurance." Thi s amendment was merely introductory t o a num b e r of which he h a d g i ven notice, and ho thought it would be convenient to the committee if he took that opportunity of stating the object of them. When the right hon. member for Manchester introduced the bill, he stated that ho did so in consequence of several of the provisions of the oath of abjuration having become obsolete, and urged with great force the absurdity, not to say irreverence, of denying claims that no longer had any e xistence. If the right, hon. gentleman had intended to confine himself to the simple object o f a lt er i ng t h e oa th in these particulars, it might have been attained by the simple erasion of these words from the oath, and he would have supported such a pro posal, but the right hon. gentleman had another and a further object ; he wished to introduce Jews into Parlia meat, and for that purpose it was necessary to get rid of a second part which stood in their way, and to accom plish that the right hon. gentleman proposed to give a death-blow to the oath. This oath was the only one which recognised the Protestant succession as established by the Act of Settlement, yet the right hon. gentleman proceeded to sweep it away from the statute-book. Many hon. gentlemen had voted 'for the second reading of the bilk An the expectatip of being able to modify it to meet their views in 90=14- tee ; such a mode of legislation appeared to him (Sir F. Tetesiger) very inconvenient. His right hon. friend 'the member for Buckinghamshire, who on this Ittbject'dif fered frltn the majority of his party, had given notice of elk arnetrdment, vsibie s h k would have the effect of &A:tin ge:ailing the two que lone, as to the propriety of &bro. eating one of them, and as to the incee el i ortant one, the admission of the Jews. That was itr opfkay to 1p treat the queseion; and if his (Sir F. The ger': . nlend m were adopted they would firse decide the propriety of k a ling the obsolete part of the 'oatr e - and then conic to the ore impoi tent consideration, whether they would strike out thew ds, "on the true faith of a Christian." The noble lor e member for the City of London, ci , who on this ace n wasasigissg the under 'work of. the hon. member for Manchester, had proposed a form of words ,which would imit e recognition of the Protes tant succession. .rgireen, lord formerly nuide.his at tempts tcr introducg t!, Jews openly and directly, but s he now sought Ito d it indirectly and by a side wind. The questiod for t committee was whether they would take that ceiva L or dept his amendments, - which i t would accomplish til.tße e ght hon. gentleman had origi nally proposed, esaleeviselhe other question for distinct decision. The oat of afejfration had been in existence for le - 0 years. It was eatabliged in 1701 by the 13th William 111., and ever since maintained. There was now no reason why it should be altered, except fir the parts that had become obsolete. Mr. M. GIBSON said that as ftr as he understood the hon. and learned gentleman, the effect of his amend ments was to strike all the abjuration out of the oath of abj :ration ; he must find some other name for it, as he would leave nothing to abjure. Tne course he had taken was strictly in accordance with {lre dents in all former acts. The cetstoin was to repeal the existing oath and enact a new one, involving thii - re quired changes. . It was necessary to do so, as it would be impossible to patch up an oath as pr )posed by the hon. and learned gentleman. He believed that the Protestant succession would be perfectly secure without any oath of abjuration, and he was confirmed in that belief by the fact that there were thousands of cases in which the law was not enforced, and the parties were indemnified by an act which was passed at the end of every session. Iu fact, except in the case of members of Parliament and the holders of a very few offices, the oath was not taken at all ; and au oath which was ro extensively neglected could not be a very important in gredient in the security of the Crown: He did not see how the words "and the assurance" °mild be omitted, and for this reason—that the assurance, which was de signed especially for the Scotch, contained all the words in the oath of abjuration with respect to the descendants of James. The same amount of swearing that sufficed for Englishmen would suffice for Scotciimen. ( Laughter.) With regard to the admission of Jews to Parliament and to various offices, he contended that question did not arise under the bill. If there were no Jewish question it would still be desirable that a super floyous and absurd oath should be abolished ; and, though the removal of Jewish liabilities might be effected incidentally, that question rested on other grounds. The amendment was then negatived without a division. Sir F. THESIGER said he would not propose any more of his amendments then, but after he had seen what shape the bill assumed in committee, he would state what cpurse he would pursue on the third reading. Lord J. RUSSELL said he would now propose the oath of which he had given notice. He thought the hon. and learned gentleman bad exercised a wise discretion in not proposing to maintain the oath of abjuration. What he (Lord J. Russell) proposed, was to abrogate an oath which was absurd and useless, and to substitute for it one ANNUITIES BILL (No. 2). by which they would simply bind themselves to main- This bill was read a second time. taro the Protestant succession to the crown, as by law es- POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BILL. tablished. In favour of retaining that part of the present Sir G.

The noble m „ te _ lord then moved the following clause :—"ln lieu of the Oath of Abjuration and of the assurance set forth and Mr. HENLEY, while thinking that course the best under the circumstances, complained of want of courtesy prescribed by the said recited act or any other act, 00 on the part of the right hon. gentleman in having given following oath shall be substituted, which shall be intl.', no notice of big intention. tuted `Au Oath for securing the Protestant Succession After souse conversation on this latter point, all the to the Crown as by Law established,' and shall be in hon. members who spoke agreeing that the withdrawal the words following, that is to say :---al, A.

TITE SUNDAY Qi; UESTION. Last evenitigea very crowded 14 üblic meeting was held at St. Martin's-hall, Long-acre, h it the purpose of adopt ing measures for manifesting tl. I , feelings of the people against the stoppage of the baci is in the parks on Sun day.. The chair. was taken at ; 8 o'clock by Sir J. V. Shelley, M.p., who was supper f ed by General Sir De Lee) , Evans, M.P., Sir J. Walr a sl e y, M.P., M r . Bi ggs, M.P., Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, 111 r.P., Mr. IT. J. Slack, Mr. .1. B. Langley, Mr. J. Co'l et (late M.P.), Mr. T. D'ltTenger, Mr. J. Ae Nicholay, f &e. The meeting was meet enthusizi tic during the proceed ings, and the body of the large les ll was crowded to ex cess. A large number of hate dsomely-dressed ladies were in the different galleries. I The body of the hall was tilled with very respectably- s ttired persons. The CIIAIRM.IN said he shoull not detain them long, as lie and his lion: and gallant , colleague had left the Clouse of C esiinees, where-seer p stion of civil and reli gious liberty was being debated, : and they were anxious t i return to record their votes. ( ( ;beers.) That question was not alien from what they I ad met to discuss, as he thought civil and religious life a •ty was this—leaving a man to pursue his own course of religion according to his conscience. The opponents to ) the Sunday bands took up their views on religious grouts ds, and so did he take up his side of the question on rel it t.ious grounds. Cheers.) Now, he contended that as the hes ad played in Kensing ton-gardens last year, there was . no harm in the bands playing in Victoria-park, -which l was in the reach of the working classes. (Loud cheers.) In his opinion, it was the best thing the Government et Per did to give the peo ple healthful and pleasing recreation on the only day afforded them for leisure, and it • was nothing more than hypocrisy to stop it. Tilli) were 250,000 people in the parks on the last Sunday, and out of that large number there was not a single case of dim •der brought before the • magistrates. It was said that tbie music was stopped in consequence of st letter from then Archbishop of Canter bury--(groans and disapprobation)—but, in his opinion, there was something in the backg round. (Cheers.) But he wanted to see the ballot introduced to put a stop to these underworkings. (Cheers.) lie considered the Queen was also put in a very critical position, for ever since the accession of her most gracious Majesty theband had been allowed to play on the terrace of the Castle, and was she to receive now dictation as to her religious opinions from Exeter-hall ? (Cries of "No, no," and loud cheers.) The hon. bart. then quoted some extracts from the work pub lished by Mr. Baines, of Leeds, which elicited strong marks of disapprobation, and after some further remarks the bon. member concluded by expressing a hope that the people would assemble in the different parks on Sun day with the determination to be orderly and peaceable, and he believed that if they went with that determina tion he might say they would have the bands playing on Sunday in Hyde-park, Victoria-park, and Regent's park. (Loud applause.) Mr. IL J. SLACK then moved the following resolu tion :—" That the performance of music in the public parks on the Sunday afternoon is calculated to promote the health, happiness, and morality of the people, is in perfect accordance with the Christian religion, and with the habits and feelings of the great body of the people ; and this meeting views with indignation and alarm the sudden and unexpected stoppage of so useful and inno cent a means of popular enjoyment." In supporting this resolution Mr. Slack quoted history to show that it was not against the laws of religion to give healthful and innocent recreation to the people. Mr. CLARK, in seconding the motion, observed that a sound mental and bodily conditi on o f the people was re quisite to secure their religious welfare ; but hebelieved the Sabbatariaus had been so long shut up in their cha pels that they had lost their senses. (Cheers.) He con tended that healthful recreation was the first step to mo rality, but at the same time education was a great thing. .Cheers.) Iu conclusion he expressed his opinion that there was no more harm in the band being heard in Windsor Castle or Kew-gardens than the organs in the church or cathedral. General Sir 1)E EVANS, in supporting the motion, trusted his constituents would excuse him for not hav ing. been among them lately—(cheers)—hut now he had returned he felt bound to be with them whenever re quired, and he thought it a most important question they had met to consider. (Applause.) Their general duty was to attend meetings and use every argument they could in this cause ; but there was no argument needed in the case, for the Prime Minister had not changed his opinions—(cheers)—but the people were un fortunate enough to have their Premier led away on this question. (Cheer,..) The gallant general then congra tulated the meeting upon their unanimity. It had often been found that the most important things had arisen from the most trifling causes. Now, the people listen ing to the bands was not a very great thing, but if they were interdicted from hearing that music then it be came a great question. It had been said that this country would be made like continental countries on Sunday. Well, he had been to different parts of the continent, but ho had never seen anything but moral enjoyment. (Cheers.) But the bishops would have them stay at home and pray. (Groans.) He then referred to a discussion in the House of Commons on the question of the bishops, during which the Marquis of illandford, their greatest champion, had said he believed many of the bishops were getting too old to do any good, and as they lied not enough to do, his lordship proposed there should be a deputy-bishop in each diocese. (Oh, oh !) In answer to those observations this Premier said the question had engaged the attention of the Government, but still he (Sir De Lacy Evans) thought they had too noble a Premier to care much for the proposal. (Cheers.) After some further remarks, he said he considered the Government had not acted wisely in the matter, although Lord Palmerston said he had net changed his opinions, which was a matter of much congratulation ; and, in conclusion, expressed his support of the question they had met to discuss. (Cheers.) Mr. TARLTON then attempted to move the following amendment :—"That it is alike un-English and inexpe dient for the Government of the country to provide en joyment for the people on the Lord's-day ." but the dis approbation was so great that the speaker retired, and after some scuffle, in consequence of a man attempting to interrupt the proceedings in a most disgraceful man ner, the original motion was put and carried enthusiasti cally, no one being found to second the amendment. Mr. D'IFFANGER then moved the second resolution, in a brief spJech. It was to the effect that in order to give an adequate expression of the people with regard to the question of the Sunday bands, and to convince the Prime Minister of the deep interest of the public, the meeting pledged itself to give its utmost support to the committee of the National Sunday League, with a view to organise any demonstration. Mr. B. LANGLEY having seconded the motion, Mr. W. A. WILKINSON, M.P. (Lambeth), supported the resolution, addressing those assembled as " sinners," amid ' ()Teat cheering. lie said the privileges of the people had been unjustly interfered with, and de nounced in strong terms the policy adopted by Mr. Baines, of Leeds, in conclusion expressing his opinion that the Scotch members were too prudent and cautious to commit an act of indiscretion like that of advising the. Government to stop the music, (Oh, and cheers.) Sir J. WALMSLEY, M.P., also supported the motion. Nothing was more fallacious (he said) than the idea that the playing of the music on Sunday Wollid snake the people were-. Why, if the working man had his way, he would. do much inure work in the week if lie knew he contd. have the seventh day to hirnself. (Hear.) Iln fact, there were a great number of working meu who had no other opportunity of enjoying healthful recreation with their wives and kimilice than on the Sunday afternoon. (Loud. applause.) I t was said that people should go to church, but preventing their going into the parks would never send them to ehurch. (Cheers.) '.l7liere were many who never went to church at all ; but if the people were tau'-;ht and properly recreated the number of persons who attended Divine worship would increase. (Hear.) If o would advise them to go to the parks, not dressed in their finery, as Mr. Baines said (great disapprobation and " Three groans for the editor of the Leeds paper"), but in their honest dresses earned by their labour and paid for (Cheers.) Let any one go into the parks and see for him self, for he had been there himself with his wife and family. (Loud cheers.) In fact he had not missed one Sun day, and instead of seeing any conduct they might blush at, he was impressed with the conviction that it was not only a rational, but a constitutional means of recreation. • (Applause.) In conclusion, he said it was not the fault of the House of Commons, but of the c onstituencies, if the present state of things were not altered. (Cheers.) ' The motion was carried unanimously, and a memorial to the Queen adopted. Thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.
