The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceeding., remarked
th it the questio which they bad met to conaider was one of
the most important to the well-being of the people. An
' attempt was bnyi made to dic..te to the two-and-a gustier
millions of the ichsbitsots of London by the purieenicet
obeervets of the Bthbatti on the other side of the Tweed.
(Hear, hear) It was, therdore, incumbent on the per pC
to _toad up for their rights, aid peaceably hot streouously
Si mart them. [Sir B Heil was bore snot:wooed,
sod wee received with loud and reiterated apples.. and
waving of bate ] He (the chairman) sincerely trailed that
the Sabbath w never be °beery. d in Loads, as it was
in Glasgow. (Hear, beer) It was with regret and surprise
that he eaw my Lord Palmerston was the men to pot the
chain rotted the neck of their eacerent member Sir B.
Hill, who la this matter had so trathfally represented the
feelings and wishes of the purple. (Hest, hear.) Bat If
Um pie were true to themselves they might defy the
Sibbaterians—indeed, Scotland Laelf, if it came
Onnirealse Tweed, to interfere with their rights. Heir)
W/LLIAM TAPPING, Erg., moved the first resolution :-
0, That the perfoimance of music in the public parks on the
fiti -day afternoon is eminently calculated to maws the
health, h.ppiness, and motility of the people ; and this
ineetivg hereby eels ssssss its regret and indignation at the
evades withdrawal of so awful and innocent • means of
popular itej ,yenent." (Load applause.)
Mr Joao !trona mewled the resoretion, which was pat
aid carried almost unanimously, amidst reiterated applause.
Sir B. BALL then addressed the meeting. He felt anal- n.
to address that vast assemblage on the important question
Ware they. It was with regret that he bad to state that
kis noble finned Lord Ebrington had been suddenly attacked

c,rtala ofiaiooe, sod to them he held fast. (Hear, hear) It
wee with regret that the nascent recreation which he bad
obtained for the people use no longer to be alibis their reach.
He was informed that tie &colon which bad been some
to was in ea:sequence of memorials addressed to the Homer
of Commons, and petitions to the Crown. Be did act
wish to find (wilt web the manlier in which petitions were
got op, bet he aid fal justified in stating what some t f
teem petitions sad mess, riels c.intained. (Hear, boar )
The prayer of the memorialists was not only that mass
ums and other such planes should remain cleasd, but they
desired also that all steam b tate shou.d cease to pi onsa the
&t oday. (" No," and "Hear, hear.") Ho would say d
prove that sect was the fact ; sot only this, bat ell train.

(" Shame," and "No.") Some pawns reigit say no,
because they did act like to beer each thing*, bat la a f. w
dere by as order of the house, these petitions would be
'relied. (Hear, bear) Bat would the distraint' be-
lieve that boss wept so ley as to pray that
histruatioss shield be sent to all foreign ministers
to see then mullions to get the Sabbath, in the countries
where they resided, similarly observed. The only conclu-
sion that be (Sir B. Hal.) said cm. to was, that the
pi t. tionera were not aware of the alinedities they were
sienna. &me time ego • deputation hod waited epos him
and stated that no cuing.. should enter it. parks. More,

Ito said that oat vi a aced of 90.000 persons there muse be
sime wicked persons who would seek to sedeee the innocent
and unwary. (Hear.) In the 0.27111 of lest Sunday week
there were no fewer than 168.000 persons ie the parks,

for the amusement of the vast sultitude wee only 26. Why
did not Mr. B writs dews the Sunday wain. who'll

As we were told whet we should no, do, be would like some
one t t lease a pamphlet headed by Lord It Carmelo' s*, Levi
HI .ndfcrd, and Arthur Kinnard, and entitled, " How
t t keep the Sabbath " (Cheers.) Were the people better
in places where the d.bioth wee strictly observed, or where
it was not so 'trial observed ? (Hear, bear.) He meld
my from sionista that in neither Onegow DO? Edinteareh,

(Hear, hear) Bat what would the mot:4 ay when be (d it

aat emetented with Keasiagton-garden, be would not
have bees interfered with. Bet what world his eonsti-
swats have said had he ban so hytooritieal as to say th.t
that wee right is Kensington Gardeas which wee wrong in
%%dais and Regent's Perks ? (Hear, beer) Those who
went to Kensington Gardens had mule in their own
homes. (lien, he ) It wee his duty, as a repassatetive
of the people and as a minis sr of the Crows, to see that
ell causes were equally dealt with. He had personally
visited the various parks, and meld hear testimony to the
'salient conduct of those wLo were esentia'ly the ye ple—

e'eep regret that be had ban complied to &Koalas"
the reareatton he had provided. Oae thing in coneladoe.
He would urge upon the people to continue that conduit
which tip to trim tome wes so admirable—a continance of
rich @midget would at least convince the opponents to the
bands that they have bees wrong. (Hear, hese) As to Lewd
Pelmenton, be had heard from his lordship that eves'sg
