HYDE-PARK YESTERDAY.

In anticipation of a renewal yesterday of the disgrace-
ful proceedings of which Hyderpark 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
on 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 dim-
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 pouf.

" RICHARD MAINE."

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 alter, 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 Ist of July, when the in-"
tervention of the p)lice gave rise to so much condemna•
tory comment. Well-dressed 'gentlemen, fashionably
attired ladies, and women
.with children in their arms
were-visible in all directions ; but there were, neverthe-
less, not wanting some fall' 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 with 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 Labal
moodiere, 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
hoc ted 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.
