RELIGIOUS BY ACT OF P 4

THE sadly mistaken attempts to maks people tem-
perate and religions by Act of Parliament are begin-
ning to bear fruit. Some days ago bills were distri-
buted, inviting the wotking clamp to assemble in
Hyde-park on Sunday, to 'see how religiously the
aristocracy observe the Sabbath." The call was re.
speeded to, and yesterday an immense crowd collected
in the park. Policemen were stationed to warn
carriages of the unpleasant reception they would

time such a demonstration against the aristocracy by
the populace as took place yesterday in Hyde-park
would be of bad augury. When the lower classes
become so irritated with the higher as to break out
into open and premeditated insult, there are never
wanting turbulent and ambitious spirits to envenom
