HYDE-PARK YESTERDAY.

In anticipation of a renewal yesterday of the disgrace-
ful proceedings of which Hyde-park was the scene on
the previous Sunday, every precaution was taken by the
police with a view to their prompt and effectual suppres-
sion. On Saturday night the following notice was very
generally posted :--
, " Notice—Whereas large numbers of persons assembled
en Sunday last, and on several former Sundays, in Hyde-
park, and when so assembled conducted themselves in a
disorderly and riotous manner, so as to endanger the pub-
lic peace, and, by throwing stones and other missiles, com-
mitted many assaults upon persons quietly passing along
the park, and interrupted the thoroughfares ; and whereas
it is necessary to prevent such illegal proceedings in future,
notice is hereby given that no such meeting or assemblage
will be hereafter allowed to take place; and all well-dis-
posed persons are hereby cautioned and requested to ab-
stain from joining or attending any such meeting or as-
sembl,!ge ; and notice is further given that all necessary
measures will be adopted to prevent any such meeting or
assemblage, and effectually to preserve the public peace.
" RICHARD MAYNE."
Notwithstanding this notice, and perhaps as a conse-
quence of it, by arousing public curiosity, the gathering
in the park by three o'clock, or shortly after, was much
more numerous and infinitely more respectable than
that of the 4th inst., bearing a strong resemblance to
that which took place on the let of July, when the in-
tervention of the police gave rise to so much condemna-
tory conament.. Well-dressed gentlemen, fashionably
attired ladies, and •women with children in their arms
were visltiln in all diteetions,; but there wdre, neverthe-
less, not wanting some four or five hundred noisy and
turbulent young urchins, who contrived to keep up a
good deal of uproar, but without the perpetration of any
actual mischief. In fact, the preparations of the police
were upon a scale which prevented any hope of even a
momentary impunity, had any of the ruffians who made
themselves so conspicuous on Sunday week been in-
clined for a disturbance. The various footways were
lined n ith constables on foot, and strong parties of the
force were spread about in all directions, with peremp-
tory instructions and a strong determination to act
energetically if necessary. A powerful troop of horse
police, under the personal command of Captain Label
moudiere, took up a position of the open space north of
the Serpentine. The most trusted superintendents and
inspectors were on the field. The police were often
hocted at, and almost hustled by the boys, who, how
ever, scampered away in all directions whenever the
horse police moved about for exercise, but no actual dis-
turbance of the peace occurred. A little after four a
man was apprehended for attempting.to make a speech,
as was alleged, or distributing political handbills, and
his capture had an excellent effect in drawing off from
the park after him at least two-thirds of the vast assem-
bly. As dusk came on the remainder of the crowd dis-
persed, and by half-past five all was quiet.

THE AFRICAN MAILS.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP GAMBIA.

PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.

The Royal African Mail Company's screw
steamer Gambia, Capt. Rolt, arrived at this port,
at 7 o'clock this morning, with the usual African
mails.

12 ; Accra, 14 ; Cape Coast Castle, 15 ;
19 ; Sierra Leone, 23 ; Bathurst, 27 ; Goree,
28 ; Teneriffe, Nov. 2 ; Madeira, 4. She brings
5 passengers, among whom is Capt. Glyn, of her
Majesty's ship Hecate, superseded.
Positions of her Majesty's ships :—The Dolphin
was in Congo River ; the Teazer was off Gallinas;
the Bloodhound and Alecto were about to join the
Commander-in-Chief ; the Myrmidon was off the
Gambier ; the. Minx was about to proceed with
the Consul to Calabar and Cameroons, to arrange
difficulties between the natives ; the Childers was

The Plumper and Linnet were also with him. The

Bights squadron. The Ferret was cruising to the

No further disturbances had occurred at Bonny,
on the Gambia. The French had succeeded in
capturing the leader of the insurgents at the latter
place.
A report had been circulated that the Ashantees
were rising at Cape Coast, and ships were de-
spatched to the spot, but it proved to be a false
alarm, and the Philomel, which had been towc(,
up at the urgent request of the acting
governor
O'Connor, was about to return to Lagos.
