The Sun.
London, England, 1849-10-05 00:00:00

Those, consequently, who happen to be exquisitely
sensitive in consience may snap their fingers at both
the new and the old regulations, and refrain entirely
from any participation in labours regarded by them
as desecrations of the " Sabbath." Beyond this,
however, it should be particularly borne in recollec-
tion that simultaneously with the addition of these
twenty-five clerks to those already engaged on Sun-
days, at the central establishment in the
metropolis, the new arrangements issued by
the authorities—(those new arrangements about
which the Sabbatarians are creating such an into-
lerable disturbance)—will release from all Sunday
occupations somewhere about two thousand individuals
hitherto engaged on the Lord's Day in the provincial
offices. So, while the system of working on the
Sundays is 25 plus, it is no less than 2,000 minus I
And yet these evangelical humbugs create such a
hubbub and " to-do" that one might reasonably think
that the Man of Sin had appeared in the person of
Lord CLANRICARDE, and that the year of grace 1849
was nothing less than the commencement .of the
Abomination of Desolation.
Hitherto we have spoken of the new arrange-
ments at the General Post-office simply
in their relation to their interference with the worship
of GOD ALMIGHTY on Sundays; and we have shown
that so far from tending to occupy the subordinate
officials during the hours of Divine service, these
recent regulations will release no less than 2,000
persons from employment in the provinces, while, by
the simple increase of the number of clerks from, say
50 to 75, the individuals engaged at work in the
capital will be enabled to attend to their religious
devotions between ten o'clock A.M. and five
o'clock req. on Sundays,—bearing in mind Ell
the time that those hitherto employed, and those
to be employed in future, have been, and
will be employed, not compulsorily bat strictly
and solely as volunteers. But, it is said—there is the
horrible profanation of a Sunday delivery in London !
Now, bluntly and plumply we tell these good, stupid
people, that there is nothing of the sort. The ques-
tion has nothieg whatever to do with a metropolitan
delivery on Sundays. We have it on the authority
of the Postmaster that not one single letter or
newspaper will be forwarded to its destination in
London from Saturday night to Monday morning.
Not one single letter or newspaper ! And yet
these Sabbatarians are going into hysterics about a
Sunday delivery in the metropolis. Really, these
individuals seem to be particularly solicitous to ren-
der themselves ridiculous. They know well enough
that now- a•days, and for many years past, there is and
has been an uninterrupted Sunday delivery in all the
hundreds of provincial towns throughout the United
Kingdom ; and we cannot but regard it as somewhat
anomalous that they should remain obdurate and un-
interested in regard to what (according to their idea)
is such an immense actual desecration of the Sunday,
and find themselves alicted with a tender conscience
solely within the boundaries of mortality, and solely
in reference to a case altogether hypothetical.
Besides enabling the clerks at the General Post-
office to attend to their religious duties during the
hours of Divine service, and besides releasing no less
than two thousand persons in the provinces from
working at the money-order offices on the Sunday,
the new regulations issued by the Postmaster will
remove 'from a large portion of this immense mercan-
tile community a variety of very intolerable grie-
vances. For example, they will prevent the
recurrence of those evils which have hereto-
fore been of continual occurrence at South-
ampton. They will render it unnecessary for the
mail-bags to remain in that port from Saturday
night till Monday morning; and will so far facilitate
the communication so essential to commerce be-
tween Leeds, York, Bristol, Exeter, Bradford, Li-
verpool, Manchester, and Birmingham on the one part,
and on the other, the East and West Indies, China,
Egypt, Peru, Chili, Spain, Portugal, South America,
the United States, Venezuela, and all parts of the
Mediterranean. Steamers will consequently no longer
have been lying in Southampton Water forty-eight
hours before tbe delivery of the letters brought by
them from distant quarters of the globe, at so much
expense, and with such extraordinary expedition.
For all the reasons here enumerated by ourselves
we cannot but regard the new regulations made by
the Post -office authorities as real boons to the actual
community, while they are calculated to enforce,
rather than to interrupt, the ordonations of Chris
tianity.

field, and a large population; they only wanted the
means—in plain words, the money.—(Laughter.)
The CHAIRMAN said he had felt some difficulty in
getting through the business in the morning, in conse-
quence of not being a very fluent speaker, but he felt a
greater difficulty that evening, for instead of having
the
ordinary duties as chairman to go through, the secretary
It handed to him a theme upon which he was to speak.
It was " The fine arts—how the taste for them is to
become universal." The Chairman then proceeded, in
a very humorous manner, to repeat the fable of the be-
sieged city, certain of whose inhabitants recommended
for its defence bricks, or stone, or, timber, or leather, in
accordance with their respective trades; and he con-
tinued, amidst much
fortlaghter, to say that the best way
to make the taste the fine arts universal was for
every ono to learn drawing, to purchase largely works of
art, especially his.—(Much laughter.)
The Rev. Mr. RYLAND, of Bradford, detailed the pro-
ceedings of the Bradford institution meeting, held there
on the previous day, and recommended the giving of
rewards to the learners, a plan which had produced the
best results at the institution with which he was con-
nected. He then spoke at great length and with much
effect to the sentiment—" May the cause of Mechanics'
Institutes become more generally known and better
understood."
E. BAINES, Esq , alluded to the new experiment now
making by the Bub-Union of establishing mechanics'
institutions in the villages of the agricultural districts—
an experiment in which he wished them God speed, and
trusted they would be the means of establishing these
associations for the mental improvement of the numerous
ranks of society in the midst of which they are
placed. In order to succeed, these institutions must
have fair play ; their reading-rooms must not
he cern-
fortlese, with dusty book shelves and fireless grates, hut
they must be put upon an equality with the public-
house. They mast have a good room for the workmen
to assemble in, and have it well furnished. Then they
must invite the working classes to join in the manage
ment, and they need not be afraid of their coming
from
too fast to do this; he could assure them, from
experience, there was not the slightest ground fora ppre-
hension on that point, the great difficulty being to draw
them unto it. In conclusion, he referred to the press—
its results in the past and present state of society.
The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of of RipoN next,
amidst much applause, delivered one of his effective
speeches on "The moral and intellectual elevation of
the working classes," in the course of which he strongly
urged the claims of the working classes to all the im-
provement and elevation for which their nature is
fitted, and after which there Was now manifest so strong
a yearning on their part.

Mr. G.DAWSOI4, of Birmingham (
the delivery of the Dean's speech), then addressed the
assembly on the " Characteristics of the Age—Progress."
He apologised for the delay caused by his not earlier
arrivieg in Harrogate, which, he said, was
owing to the mismanagement of the railway, he and five
others having been detained in the Church Fenesn
station, horseleste almost houseless, and certainly dinner-
less, since fire o'ci •ck. He then proceeded to deliver
one of his pithy and sententious speeches on the text
given him.

The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the same. In allusion
to a remark by Mr. Banks about his age being guessed
at 30 and at 50, he said that it was his birth-day,-and
though his mamma had intended to have honoured it at
home, she had allowed him to come there instead, to
attend to his public duties—in fact, she bed given him a
holiday.—(Laughter.) He then expressed the great
gratifaction which his visit had affarded him, and declared
though the first time, it should not be the last time cf his
visiting his Yorkshire friends, who could enjoy what the
people of no other nation could, a laugh even against
themselves. Ile concluded, by wishing to each and all

ev hick was the intellectual and beautiful movement of
the public mind moit industriously directed for self-ad-
vancement.— (Cheers.) When he used the word
"claiming," he protested on the part of members of all
mechanics' institutions against this, that they insisted
upon it as a right from their superiors, if he might use
the ter,en, or those classes who did not choose to co-
operate with them, that they should administer to them
those great advantages.—(Hear, hear, and applause)
He delighted to look upon the movement, and he ap-
pealed to Mr. Baines, who was conversant with the sub-
ject, and to all who had known anything of the teach-
ing of men grown up to read and to think, and to make
use for the first time of their minds and und
erstandr
nings,
which had been so long in abeyance, from theie-
glected education in early life, whether the ef-
fect had not been to make them yearn after advance-
men, yearn after more than they could teach them—
(Hear)—whether they had not found that what they had
taught them, were it ever so little, had placed them upon
a pinnacle which had enabled them to rise higher and
higher, and that their gratification was to rise. higher
and higher, not beyond the common object which was
supreme over all, still that their minds were impressed
with the gratification, and benefit, and desire
was the 9f know-
ing more than they did.—(Appau-se.) Novr is all
the claim which the operative, working,
and lower
departments of the middle classes put upon you—to help
them tops° those facultiss which God has given them, to
employ those minds which a gracious Providence has
dispensed to them; they only asked their equals and
euperiors to enable them to make use of that which was
their own, to assist them in getting the benefit of that
which was their human birthright, that they might
occupy, and improve, and enjoy their stations in life, and
minds, and reflections, and advantages which the gra-
cious God has dispensed to them. The Hon. and Very
Rev. the Dean then proceeded to show that the preju-
dice which yet prevails to some extent against institu-
tions of this class is entirely groundless, and said that
their own regulations, which they most
efaithfully adhered
to, at their father, Mr.Baines—(Lteughtr)could t
—their own stringent adherenee to theirregulationsput a
positive bar to the ima4ination that any sinister traitor
could be at the tea:torn of this glorious movement.—
(Hear.) They excluded purposely controversial religion
and politics from occupying any place in their delibera-
tions, and he did not enter into the question why they did
this generally; but e took it upon the surface that they
had this p Articular rehason, that in the first place those two
all important questions, the one of which led us to live
for God and for eternity, and the other guided us as
subjtcts and tit'a'ns on earth—nevertheless, those two
all important subjects did generate party.—(l-lear, hear.)
Party produced disision—division, disunion.—(fit an)
Now, if there viva any person who was leading a move-
ment, you would find him under one of those classes.
Either he was an active religionist, or an active politi-
cian. You hid nothing to fear from an active
pvromotcr
of science and ke,ned ,dee.—(lfeer, hear.) Well, then,
a only b-•catne of those elre-se.s, who might use
those two important stlb,''CLi for the purpose of disunion
and division, and therefore fir a mischievous and dan-
gereus purpese, that they said they hat nothing to do
wish these topics which were likely to promote disunion
Bud dislgreement amongst then.—(llear, hear.) He
redly waisted to ask those who always seemed to smell a
rat wheneeer anything national was undertaken—he
wish-el to ask those persons whether they thong
icsfr lAt these
invitations Ravi; g txeleded religion and plit om
their deliberatiens, could do any manner of mischief to
nny of the established institutions of the country ? He
was detirous that all who really wished

a feet, then that the higher ctaases wou!d follow out the
hint given by Mr. Baines, and rather take the lead and

without any well-meant iutention.—(Applause.) The

The accounts from Ireland are of the most gloomy ;
character. The potato blight has again set in
throughout the entire country, with a destructive
virulence scarcely exceeded during the memorable
year 1846. Scarcely a hope remains of saving suffi-
cient from the doomed crop for the support of the
wretched inhabitants—all is dismay and consterna-
tion as to the future prospects of that unhappy land.
Extraordinary efforts are made to save even a portion
from the general destruction, but the exertions are
prompted by despair—to snatch something, anything,
that can be made available for food, from the decay-

attcndarce.
The CHAIRMAN said he felt that some apology was
due to the company for the delay of half an hour which
had taken place. He could only ray that the blame did
not rest with him, nor would he say with whom it lay,
but he believed it had been unavoidable.—(Hear, hear.)
Be had now to call their polite attention to Mr. Banks,
the secretary, who would read a report to them.
Mr. G. L. BANKS, before reading the report, said that
if an apology was due fcora any one it was from him-
self. He had been much troubled at the disappointment
which bad happened, and what had occurred to one of
their expected guests ha would in a great measure the
cause of the dAay. He first read to the meeting
a letter from Dr. Mackay, of London. The writer ex-
pressed his regret that his name had been so positively
announced, for though he wished to be present, he could
not leave London so early as that day (Thursday). Mr.
Schok field, the Member for Birmingham, wrote to say
he could not get to the meeting as he had hoped to have
done. The next announcement to which he (Mr. B.)
would direct their attention was a telegraphic message
from Mr. George Dawson, at Church Fenton Station,
stating that he could not be there before eight o'clock,
and reAting if he should come or go back. He B.)
had replied " Corne."—(llear, hear.) He having to
attend to• this message was in part the cause of the
delay. -Mr. Banks then read the following report:—
'• The pre sent festival having been brought about
under the auipice.s of a newly-formed association, the
committee have request ,c 1 me to give a brief account of
the canoes which led to the formation of the North-

A its tu.—
" A few year, bave materially changed the current el
pubic opinion in refer,nca to Mechanics' Institthe utions,
and many openings have been presented for esta-
blishment ot new institutions. We have seen an an-
nual accession of these societies, rising into existence in
Someinstances under crude and ill-digested arrange-
ments. We have seen the older institutions expending
their energies too often in the mere struggle for a local
titarviing, and the courage and heart of the committees
. worn out in battling with the lukewarmness of the mem-
bers, and the ill-founded prejudices of the public, incur-
ring large expenses iu resorting to means which, at best,
• have had but a temporary effect, all of which might have
been avoided by the more fr(quent intercourse and com-
munion of the directors and others entrusted with the
management of these institutions.
" The evil here alluded to had long been felt, and it
was considered that this district of Yorkshire was pecu-
liarly favourable for the formation of a local union that
should include all the institutions within a reasonable
distance of Harrowgate. The North-West SubilJniQn
was accordingly formed, with the following objects:77
First—To strengthen the bond of interest by giving
an identity of character to each institution; by quarterly
meeings to be held in the several towns in rotation, at
which the working and experience of each institute
should be discussed; by th® exchange of books and
apparatus; by a reciprocation of lectures; and by the
general economising of the expenses incidental to the
individual action of each institute.
Secondly--133, sustaining any of the institutions
when, from defective management or other causes,
decline was observable.
•• Thirdly—By visiting those towns or villages known
to be favourably situated for the establishment of an
institute—conferring with some active individual and
bringing the knowledge and experience of the older
societies to bear in encouraging the inhabitants generally
to undertake the organizing of an institute with a
certainty of public countenance and success.
• " Fourthly—By the appointment of a general secre-
tary and lecturer, at a remunerative salary, who should
be in constant communication with the associated
institute., and lay himself
auot to promote their success.
anion fund amongst the
" FAftnly—By
gentry of the district towards the general expenses, and
for the purchase of apparatus, and other things intended
for general use and circulation.
r e e are the main objects of the North-West Sub•

Union.
" I have now to explain what hes been done during
the three mon:ha the Sub-Union has been in operation,
and I may state that the first desire of the committee
was to pot their efforts forward in their missionary cha-
rawer. This they have done by forming institutes in
the following placrs, viz. —Thorp Arch, Masbam, Tad-
caster, and Topcliffe, with every prospect of success.
The towns of Bedale, Iloroughbridge, and Spoffortb, are
now t,efore the commio es., who confidently hope to see
eq,ally strong institutions formed in each of those places '

and conspire to defeat these laws, which they cannot
resist by other less objectionable means—hence the
determined resistance, the universal hostility to the
law. Every wrong-doer is looked upon as a cham-
pion of popular rights, who receives sympathy and
assistance from the people. Agrarian outrages have
long been prevalent in Ireland, although
they have never, perhaps, reached to so
frightful an extent, or afforded such evidences of
general demoralization, as at present. The " move-
ment" is spreading through all parts of the country,
the districts in which the " Ulster tenant right" is
recognised alone being excepted : there, indeed,
friendly relations are still continued between landlord
and tenant, and although the struggle will be
arduous, we doubt not of the result. Difficulties must
necessarily be encountered, but they will eventually
be overcome. A sturdy and energetic race, whose
interests are one and indivisible, whose objects are the
same, and who are thoroughly united, must eventually
prove successful. Their strength is not wasted
against each other, but turned against their common
foe, and their triumph is certain. But there
can be no hope for Munster or Connaught,
nor even for Leinster until the landlord and tenant
question is placed upon a secure and satisfactory basis
—on a basis that will content the " many " as well
as the " few," and which will prevent the wholesale
clearances—the flagrant acts of oppression and in-
justice which, although they have only been resorted
to in isolated cases, have tainted the entire system,
and produced an outcry against the general body of
landlords, which few, indeed, of their number have
merited. The good, however, have been confounded
with the bad ; the considerate and reasonable pro-
prietor has been classed with the spoliator and
exterminator, and devices that should scarcely be
put in operation against the most cruel oppressor
have been resorted to against the most deserving and
meritorious.
Again we reiterate our decided conviction
that there can be no hope for Ireland until the
custom of tenant-right is legalised and extended to
the entire country. Then, and not till then, there
will be a reasonable prospect of her social regenera-
tion and of her ultimately attaining to the welfare and
prosperity of which she has been deprived by the
misgovernment and mal.legislation of bygone ages.

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
DEATH OF GEORGEY.
The Vienna journals of the 30th ult. state, that
GEORGEY has been shot at Klagenfurth, by Count
EDWARD ZICEIY, whose brother was hanged by GEOR
GEY'S order in the Danubian island of Csepel. The
account is, that Count ZICHY walked up to GEORGEY,
who was sitting in a coffee-house, and shot him dead

on the spot.
The Austrian Lloyd's of the 29th ult. publishes a
dispatch fro General HAYNAU, dated Acs, Sept., 27,
which announces the capitulation of Comorn. The
terms are not given.
The brutal murders perpetrated by order of the
EMPEROR still continue, and Generals AULICII and
HESS have been shot at Arad. The representative of
the house of Hapsburgh-Lorraine and his Ministers
would, it is evident, fain force us hack to the institu•
tions of the middle ages. It would be well that they
should remember that " the family feud" was one of
the most honoured of those institutions, and that the
pursuit of La Vendetta was in those days considered
a sacred duty.

CENTRAL GERMANY.
The Frankfort journals of the 30th ult. state that
more conflicts had taken place between the Prussian
and Bavarian soldiers in that city, and in one of
them serious injuries were inflicted on several of the
combatants. Patrols had to be called out to re-
establish order.
According to the Cologne Gazette, the Government
of Wirtemburg has definitively refused to accede to
the treaty of the Three Kings.
M. DE BEUNIGSEN, President of the Council of
Ministers in Hanover, has left for Vienna, to take
part in the conferences on the German question.
Hanover has, it is said, declared that she will not
continue to adhere to the Constitution of the Three
Kings, unless authorised by the States.

There was a quick, yet steady, market for Cotton at
Liverpool yesterday, at firm prices. The sales, how-
ever, were on a limited scale, say 5,000 bales, including

The Corn Market is quiet to-day, the arrivals of
foreign being large, and including 21,050 qrs. of Wheat,
7,860 of Barley, and 13,930 of Oats.
In the Mincing-lane Produce Markets this week,
business has been comparatively dull, the supply of
most articles being larger. The consumption, however,
is good, and there is a healthy tone among the dealers,
who can keep up their stocks at convenience, such are
the facilities afforded. Tallow is particularly flat, the
quantity available at St. Petersburgh being 155,000 to
160,000 casks, the home make being large, and the im-
ports from Australia and South America considerable.
There seems every prospect of tallow, in future years,
ruling permanently lower, much to the advantage of our
poorer classes, though to the detriment of the producers.
There are accounts per Seagull, arrived at Falmouth,
to the 16th August from Buenos Ayres. The exchange
was at 2 17.32 d. At Rio de Junior() on the 15th Au-
gust business was brisker, the elections having termi-
nated peaceably.
We observe in the last advices from Canada still more
current reflections upon annexation, &c., and rather
painful statements of the depression in trade. The
Canadian _lndependent informs us that upwards of 50
respectable norkmen had just left Quebec for the
Western States. A steady emigration of French
Canadians towards these happy regions has been taking
place every summer for the last three or four years.
The Canadian Independent suggests that a public
meeting should be held to inquire into the causes of the
present depressed condition of the colony, and to
recommend a remedy. "We believe," writes the editor
of the Quebec Gazelle, " the French Canadian would
readily adopt the hint, and declare in favour of inde-
pendence or annexation, if any other Ministry were in
power than the present.
" The main article with which we could supply the
States in case of annexation is timber, and it will be
through this consideration alone that America will con-
sent to afford us reciprocity if she does ever consent.
This year alone, up to the beginning of July, upwards of
one million feet of timber were shipped to the States
from Canada, and in all probability certain branches of
the trade, such as deals. will, we befleve, ultimately trust
to the United States markets alone."
Mr. Lafontaine had returned from Montreal, from his
reciprocity expedition, A telegraph notice in some of
the United States papers says that the delegates had hit
upon a scheme,:which they thought likely to attain the
object of their meeting, reciprocsl free trade in raw pro
duce with the United States. We agree with the
Montreal Herald, from which we quote, in doubting the
truth of this statement.
