THE SUNDAY BAND QUESTION.

DEPUTATION TO LORD P,
DAY)

f.-(11118

Ms morning several deputations appointed at
nevelt publ.o nseetings waited upon Lord Pabasset'', st his
private residaeor in Pirciday, to call the attention of his
lordship to the order recently issued for discontinuing the
playing of the bands in the various perks on Sundays, and
to express their opinion on the subject.
_ _

Tea Br. Pancrae deputation was composed of Messes. W.
D. Cooper, J. Kenny, T. Rocs, J. Bond, bury,
jut, Beare, Jay, Wright, and Clemente. Mr. J.
George represented Westminster. and Y . Turley end
Con, the Resters (Sum: Hal.) districts of the City. In
addition the follonirg working men represented a commit-
tee of the =strop. limn treed, organised to agitate aspen
the question, via Meads. Thomas Wilson, R. R. MOM.,
W. Aliso, Caadland, T. C. Pratt. Beaobridge, 'Mobley,
Irvin, Made, Somen,sad Marshall.
Several members of the depotatios addressed his lord-
ship, aeseriog him of the deep gratifircion which had beim
given to the workiog clued g Oy by the ceders hewed
f the playing of the bands in the various parks,
and exprossieg their deep regri t at the order so suddealy
sad uoezpoctedly Issued for its cessetioa. They pointed out
t s his loulehip the moral and sanitary advents's@ which
must, in their opinion, eventually have resulted if the hoods
had been continued, and implored him to nomads,
the question, and permit the beads to play male.
Lord Palmerston replied that there seemed to be some ails-
conce?tion as to what he really said on the subject, for he
was represented by some of the speakers al having stated
that one reason why the bands were discontinued was
that the workbag tints had been quite indifferent
upon the subject, but that was a thing be had said,
nor could soy, for any Ras of daemon sense might see the
raven., in the vast ■embers of people who had attended the
parke to hear the bands. And he mud say that the moaner
la which they had conducted themselves, not only on the
Sundays wbea the bands were playing, but rind, had been
highly to their erdit. Bat with regard to the principal
tondos, t►e goverameat hod involved themselves is roll-
gloss differences by ordering the beads to play, sad that he
thought was what every government ought to avoid. Whoa
thraldom the Archbishop of Canterbury, epos behalf of him
• self and several of the bishops, as well as a large perzioa
of the religious onannsity, p anted out the evils which they
feared might follow, the government had thought it their
duty to discontinue the bands, and whatever might he
the opiaion of the deputation, be wee sure they
would sot wish to me the g iveensont behave
iSelf like a weathereock, giving one order one
day, another soother day, and thole charging it
again. Bueh a course would not be consistent or
digraided, sad therefore be could hold out no
hope of the band befog permitted to play main,
at all events for the preemet; and he bored the working
aided would submit to the sacrifice theerfully.
In a coavenetion which followed, it wee Intimated to the
noble lord that at rangesente had horn made ea moan Goo
'deadest* of private hands la the parka tomorrow, and he
was asked if he would prevent the interfered" of the
police.

His Lordship st first sild that he could esy arable( rpm
t►at polot then, hat altintotely serest' to oration the
matter te air O. Grey, and arrange for a depa!stioa to welt
upon the right bon. baronet in the 'reales for a decisive
answer to the question.

la the Leeds Mercury of this day we read : "It is
with the deepest mums that we permits that the iatestlem
of employisg buds of musk to whim on Wood-
house Moor on the Sudsy endorsees, is to be
persevered is." Is another coleus of Us Mercury
we lad the follesleg edvertisemeut:—.. Sudsy Beads
On Woodhouse Meor. The committeet, *nisi cm W-
indt of those who ►ave Irsheerthed for the above purpose,
beg to inform the public that they have no dubs to bundle
hello p, nor seedltsfy to offend the prejudices of say port los
of their fellow-townsmee : their prit e' pal desire is to make a
proviso! protest against the proceedings of those who is ea
eswiee opine of puritanntal gloom, seek to provost the peo-
ple from eajoyirg eves the most lanomat mereetion es the
Sunday. The committee, therefore, hope that the well•
disposed amongst the people will salts wi.b them its
preseniag order sod direorsa en the moor during
the performance of the band. The softie to be performed
will be is harmony with the nolemei!y of the day, and at
its easeles'oe, it le the desire of the committee that the peo-
ple who may aw rob,' will quietly return to their homes,
and to their 114varel p um of wonh:p in the 'waist, sad
thee prove that iss.oest goads, r creation' bas nothing is
