At the mating at the Watch Committas on Tuft- '
day evening • deputation of town onsinaries an others

dateantats were made by the different members of the depu-
tation:—They bad waited on there shopkeepers who did not
open, and three who did open on the Sunday, todisontoi-
safel who but they had taken particular oars to wait on all ,

those on whom they had celled op, the movement, and
refund to sign the memorial, and even they expressed them-
selves willing to &se if it were made a general thing. In on
instance only had they met with a direct refusal, and that was
at the shop of • balladmonger in Tonk-street. They had only
been at work ethos hut Friday, end had not therefore Calk

signatures of deans in perishable articles and tobacconists.
The Jew clothee dealers generally had signed. Oat of 94
butchers in one district only fin bad refused to ergo. In
another Minot only two or three In • hundred in the use.,

thirty. One of the deputation add he wished it to I.e under-
stood that they were not there se the repreenedatives of any

sical and social grounds.
The Cif/LIBMAN had prepared a revolution which he would

Chatosnitt said the question was a arid matter of con-

The Cuenutax—Because the one opens. _

11. r. Ossonits—Why, If the nine persons are to desi-
rous, could net they aloes their altars, sod put the law
into motion against the tee who kept open ? (Hear, hear.)
The feet wee, thews Woe paltry men wanted the committee
to do their dilly week; they themesives preferred
a few mesa pesos to the seivatkaa of their souls. He (W.
Osborne) treated to know whether the committee were pre-
pared to carry oat the law entirely P If the peaky failed
to wend movers, the offenders were to be put In the stocks.
Were they prepared to pat up stocks 'pain? The whole
tenor of the law showed that it was not edged to moiety in
its present state. Society had made ma progression since
the days of Charles the First, religiosity, socially, physi-
cally, end morally. Then let them go on till moiety im-
proved to a rill greater degree. If they wbbed to ate
their object, they might depend upon it that they would not
do it by eoforcieg an °bedew law. Ages, they could not
compel amen to close hie &Wm; they could only prevent
his melbas on the Suadey. Hew would they do that, theoP
Would they est a policeman at the door to watch, or would
they seed people in to tempt the shopkeepers P
the shopkeepers foamed • oomtditatioa, sad wore de edd

were some gentlemen who would strain at a pat and swallow

gestlemen of the deputation would not swallow a camel any
more than you moult (Lsenglater.)
Mr. OSBORNE—It Is tinier for us to interim with the
shopkeepers, unless we prevent labouring men and servants
working oa Sunday. Why I have seen you, Mr. Chair-
man, riding to chapel on a Sunday, and thus employ your
servenv; and other gestlernest at the bottom of this crusade
