THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EICHZILTIER ON
THE SUNDAY CLOSING UP PUBLIC•HOUSES.

A correspopdenoe bas been published between a
Mr. Edward Mathews, who assumes to represent the Sunday
closing movement, sod the Chancellor of the Exchequer on
the above subject.
Mr. Mathews, notwithstanding Mr. Gladeicee's vote on
the 3rd of June last, ventures to solicit hi adherence to the
movement, asserting that public opinion is England is really
in favour of the movement; that little inconvenience will
be produced by the measure ; that the inconveniences and
ere the sufferings of a portion of the community ere
Dever regarded by statesmen as a sufficient reason egniast
measures which derive thtir sanction from the necessities
and highest interests of the state ; and that he la sot
acquainted with any interests which can be held superior
to that public sobriety and domestic well-being which
an abandonment of Sunday intemperance would produce.
" For these reasons," he mays, " I trust the Chancellor of
the Exchequer will do justice to his own Christian character
and eminent talents, and no lees to his solemn responsibili-
tiesto the Divine Lawgiver, by carefully reviewing the
whole of this debated question, and by making himself
mister of the evidence in favour of the change proposed.
This evidence includes the !wintery operations of the closing
up, until one o'clock on Sunday, throughout the United
kingdom ; the report of the select committee on public-houses
for 1854 ; the fact. laid before the Sunday Beer Committee
of 1845 ' • the report of the Royal Commission of 1880 coo the
Forbes Mackenne Act ; and the demoustedion of pubbo
sentiment is England and Wales coetained la the petitions
to the Home of Commons in the last sank* of Parhament -
and the coca.' of populous towns and perils'. Should
you, as the result of this comprehensive review, decide to
favour the Sunday Ching Movement with your sanction. I
beg that you will kindly allow me to aenetines your resolu-
tion to the Liverpool cm:mind, and to say that you have
no
objection to be numbered with the subscribers to an
association seeking, by legal means, to prohibit the Sunday
traffic in intoxicates( drinks."
To this letter thole/lorries reply was sent :
" 11, Downing.strest, Whitehall, Sept. 8.
"iffir,—l am desired by the Ohaucellor of the Eashaquer
the acknowledes the receipts( the letter in which you deo- I
004 the closing of public-booms on Sunday, and request him
to jets the association which it is proposed to establish in
the view of promoting that object.
" I am to my that Sir. Gladstone finds himself obliged to
make • rule to joie no association eat of doors Imogene(
matters with which be may had to deal in the Oates* or
as i member of parliament. He would observe to you that
be has no special osenexices with this question as Chassidim
of the Exchequer, except as a question of redoes ; cud he
hue always explicitly stated that any fiat interests ought
got to be allowed to interfere with its social and moral
bearings.
"The member of the Cabinet who is specially ceecerned
with the consideration of the question in this view is the
Heim Secretary.
" Mr. Gladstone will at all times be ready to monsider
any due restraints as the trailk in spiriteoes Neon ; be
desires me, however, to state that it appeared to him that
Mr. Soiree. biU, by attempting too much, rather did damage
to the cause it was meant to promote.—l au Si, your
