State for the Home Department to prefer their tognset ,

Th. following noting .toad on the order book it tb.
beam of Commons for this erasing :

Sir 1. linseces—To ask the Secretary of State for the Homo

set be desirable to swear in special constables to In the
preservation of the public peace, as has been done upon Omit
occasions.
On going Into committee of supply in the noun aT
Commons this (Thursday) evening, Mr. H. B. Sheridan
will move " For oopy of instructions given to the Police
Counadosionors is eonaezion with the proposed Hyde-park
meeting on Monday last ; return of the number of per-
sons, including the police, injured in connexion with the
riots on that sad the subsequent days ; and return of the
number of prisoners taken sad persons chsrged before

magistrates with offences in reference to each riots."
A great number of letters on the subject of the disturb-
ances appear in the columns of our oontempor•ries. The
most remarkable, perhaps, is one which a member of the
government, Mr. Adderley, has addressed to the Times,
and in which a public man, towards whom the right hon.
gentleman frequently exhibits much feeling, I. thus
alluded to :—" . . . It is therefore gratuitous bitter-
ness to allege any intolerance against the authorities who
attempted to enforce so obvious • rule, and those who
encouraged its infraction, whether by bolder presence or
sneaking kders of excuse for access took the side of the
inevitable rowdies against the rail working people who
habitually enjoy the park, and who. will not
thank their pretended friends who &situate their
simple enjoyment as exclusiveness.", The Pod,
I however, Earl :—" The came of Mr. Bright's absence
from London in the early part of the week is explained by
I the announcement of the marriage of his daughter, Miss
Ellen Priestman Bright and Mr. William Stephen Clarke,
manufacturer, of Street, Somenetshire, who were married
In the Friends' Meeting House, Rochdale, on Tuesday, in
the presence of a large itesemble."
Two of the ourespondente of the Post are for making
those who called the meeting in Hyde-park legally respon-
sible for all the damage which was done :—" The men who
at in the committee-room (or whatever they may call it)
of the Reform League on the day on which those orders
were given out, and who gave these orders, ought to have
been arrested at once, as in any other case of sedition.
If they had been. and been sentenced each to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour, we should Dot.heer
of the Inform League giving out many more such orders."
" A Vagrant," who describes in the Tina " The Battle
of Tyburn," as he calls it, concludes by saying :—" In
1848 I sat on the toe of a statue at the Arch of Triumph
in Paris, and saw as many of 300,000 men marching under
arise as it was possible to see at owe. That was a real
demonstistien in favour of peace and goodwill. No single
blow was struck that day ; I heard no angry word spoken,
I was out with the ' specials ' in London, and that wee
another strong peace demonstration which pissed off
well and quietly. I wax at Philadelphia when
emancipation was peacefully declared. At Boston,
when Lincoln won his contested election against M'Clel-
lan, I sew rival processions, chiefly composed of Irishmen,
pervade the streets, speak, shout, let off fireworks and the
steam for two nights, and go home without breaking a
single head or pane of glee. Yesterday I saw a very weak
attempt to bottle up popular merry and shut the safety-
valve end in a riot. When I went after' the dixturbers of
the public peace' to Trafalgar-square, I heard cheers while
I dined at my club, but because the weights were off
the valve the whole district was in calm repose when I
left it."
Mr. Ernest Jones, writing from Manchester, proposes
that " mar meetings should forthwith be held in every
town of the kingdom, where practicable, to express
sympathy with, and gratitude to, the men of London for
their noble conduct, and to show the ministry that it
cannot with impunity deny the people their right to meet
Arad petition for the reform it refuses to grant. I propose
that the meetings should assume the character of great
opea.air demonstrations, as no gathering indoors, however
influential, would be adequate to the occasion, for the
question at issue is essentially a national one—• people's
uestion."

ADDRIaII TO ME. GLADOTONI.—The fallowing is
copy of the address voted to the Right Hon. W. F.. Wad-
Jame, M.P., by the meeting 020th,a held at St.
James's-hall, Ramsgate, July 1856 To the Right
Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, M.P.--Bir,—We, the non.
electors of Ramsgate, who are householders, paying an
annual rental of 141. and upwards, but who are notwith-
standing excluded from the franchise, and were thereby
prevented from joining in the address which has just been
voted to you by some of our fellow-townsmen who are
electors of East Rent, beg respectfully to offer to you our
tribute at admiration and gratitude for your eloquent and
powerful advocacy of our claims to the county suffrage.
We entertain, in common with a large majority of our
fellow.countryinen, sentiments of the highest esteem for
your transcendent ability and spotless character; and our
respect for you is enhanced by the fact that it was
on our behalf, and in advocating oar claims to
the rights of citizenship, that you were defeated by
a factious combination in the House of Commons.
We thank you for your eloquent defence of the working
classes of this country front the calumnies which were so
unsparingly heaped upon them ; and we venture to assert
that your vindication—spirited and generous as it was—
was equally just and true. We are anxious to assure you
that we are animated by • sincere desire to preserve the
sonstitution of England, and to enlarge and extend its
benefits. We yield to no other class of our fellow-coun-
trymen in loyalty to the throne, in respect for the laws,
and in love of order and good goveniment ; and we protest
against the slander that we are not worthy to be entrusted
with the rights and duties of citizens. We reepectfully
and earnestly entreat jon to persevere in your noble advo-
cacy of our cause : and we pray that Almighty God may
bless your efforts to ameliorate the condition and extend
the rights and liberties of your fellow-iaountryinesi."—
