ABOLITION OF SUNDAY TRADING.—The &at an-
nual meeting of the Society for the Abolition of Sunday
Trading in the Fish, Poultry, and Ice Trade, was held last
evening at the Literary Institution, Edward-street, Port-
man-equare. The meeting was presided over by Mr. John
Macgregor, IS the mom of Samuel Gurney, Esq., M.P., the
president of the society, who was prevented from being
present. The proceedings were commenced by the secre-
tary reading the report of the committee of management,
which detailed the operations in connexion with the society
since its establishment, and the measures adopted to carry
out its objects. A considerable amount of success bad
attended their efforts. Six hundred lithographed circulars
bad been addressed to the trade on the subject, and in reply
Ito the question whether they would support an act of par.
liameet for the closing of fish, poultry, and ice shops on
Sundays, 57 replies had been received ;34 of these were in
' favour of en act, 12 were undecided, 1 thought an act un-
necessary, 3 would think the matter over, acid only 8
were opposed to the act, while the journeymen, almost to a
man, would support such an act. In the month of March
last a deputation waited on Sir George Grey, the Secre-
tary for the Home Department, in order to ascertain
whether it was likely the government would give its sup-
port to the measure which it was proposed to introduce,
and having received an unfavourrble reply, all idea of intro-
ducing such a measure thin session had been abandoned.
The general testimony of the journeymen, however, was,
that since the agitation commenced Sunday orders but
been very much discontinued, many refusing to take in the
goods unless sent on Saturday ; while nineteen of the lead-
ing families at the west-end; with the queen at the head
of them, had peremptorily forbidden any such orders being
taken on Sunday ; and twenty-three fishmongers cud poul-
terers bad closed their shops on Sundays ever since the
commencement of the agitation, without finding that their
business was in the least injured or diminished.

proceedings, but good humour generally prevailed.
