many attend churches in the country, with their aged
parents, who were never able to do so before. Some of
these places of worship are those they attended in
childhood.

•' I have often contrasted Edinburgh and Glasgow
with London, Liverpool and Birmingham. In the two
former places there is scarcely any opportunity afforded
the labouring classes to see the beauteous works of na-
ture in the country ; but ample facility to waste their
time in public-houses, become drunkards, outcasts, and
ultimately food for the police. On many occasions I
have walked and rode about Edinburgh and the suburbs,
on a Sunday evening, and counted no less than 60,
70, and 80, and on one occasion 125 intoxicated persons,
in my perambulations of about three hours. Now, look-
ing at the latter places on a Sunday evening, you may
see hundreds returning from the country—some with
their wives and families—and scarcely one amongst
them the least intoxicated. Surely there must bo some-
thing wrong.
"In conclusion, I beg to say that I am as anxious as
any one for the proper observance of the Sabbath, but I
do think the present agitation on the subject by a por-
tion of the religious part of the community, will not in
any way tend towards the improvement of the labouring
class.

"I remain, dear Sir, yours truly,
" A. J. LIST.
" Superintendent of County Police."
Mr. WEMYSS said, he begged to inform the Council
that on Sunday, tht 15th ult., the first day on which the
railway trains were stopped between Edinburgh and
Glasgow, no less than 241 carriages of a private kind
drove up to the various places of public worship ; and
if the day had happened to be wet. which it was not, it
was not unlikely but that this number would have been
considerably greater.—(Hear, hear.) They had no he-
sitation in saying that not fewer than 400 horses, and as
many servants, coachmen, &c., were employed in con-
nexion with these carriages.
Bailie MACK said he regretted exceedingly that Mr.
Tait should have expended his maiden speech at the
council board in suppoit of the motion which he had laid
on the table. The motion be (Bailie Mack) held, with
great deference, was not only irreligious but highly
tyrannical. First of all, and speaking in a financial
point of view, if this motion was carried into effect, it
might be necessary to involve the corporation in a large
sum of money, expended in Parliament, opposing the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bills. Now, as he
understood the motion, it proposed that the council
should, in an ultra vires manner, apply the funds of the
city's creditors and of the community to oppose those
bills. But, apart altogether from that, he' held it
( to be a most tyrannical proceeding towards those gen-
tlemen. What was the state of the case ? The old di-
rectors introduced the running of Sunday trains—a
thing which was very little to their credit, seeing that
they did it in opposition to the wishes of upwards of
100,000 of their fellow citizens. Having, in the face of
that opposition, set ageing, and carried on Sunday trains,
until such time as the public, most unquestionably, were
roused to the enormity of the crime—(A. laugh)—then
these gentlemen were ousted, they were turned out, and
very properly so ; and they were succeeded by gentle-
men equally respectable, he was sure they would all ad-
mit—by gentlemen who feared God and had respect to
his commandments—(Mr. A. Robertson--" I don't be-
lieve it")—‘and who, besides, had respect to the statute
law of the country. He did not mean to go over the law
of the case, as he had dote so on the last occasion the
subject was before them ; but he submitted that these
gentlemen were doing nothing contrary to the law.—
(Hear, hear.) What right had the council to go to Par-
liament to oppose them ?—what right had the council
to hold this in terrorem over them ? He did not go the
length of some of his friends as to the powers of a rail-
way ; but he contended that they were only bound to
keep it open on lawful days.—(Mr. Robertson—"Every
day.") He maintained that they were bound to keep it
open on lawful days ; but if his friend (Mr. Robertson)
were of a different opinion, was he taking a manly
course? Lct him apply for a suspension and interdict
against the resolutions of directors, or let him raise an
action of declarator in the Court of Session to find out
whether the directors were acting contrary to law, and
bound to open the railway on Sunday hereafter. Then
he ( Bailie Mack) would understand it ; but it was
a cowardly proceeding to hold this motion over the heads
of the directors. He repeated that it was not a manly
way to bring this question to a final issue, to do it by
threatening opposition in Parliament. If these gentle.
men were wrong, they were amenable to the laws of the
country ; and let those members who had spoken in sup
port of this motion resort to the law for redress. Bailie
Mack then, at great length, referred to movements that
had taken place in London for opening the Post office on
Sundays, but which was frustrated by the religious feel-
ing of the community. He read one of the memorials
which had been presented to the Treasury on that occa-
sion, by some of the tradesmen of London to show the
high estimation in which they regarded the Sabbath. He
then read a portion of the report of the Parliamentary
Committee on Sabbath observance to a similar effect ; as
also a memorial which had been presented to the direc-
tors of the South Eastern Steam Packet Company sail-
ing from Folkestone for Boulogne, by the engineer of
that company, who set forth, in such a strong light,
the disadvantages and immorality which resulted from
Sabbath sailing, that the directors gave it up. He con-
cluded by moving, as an amendment, the previous ques-
tion.

Mr Cuserraz seconded the amendment.
Dr. RENTON said, in place of a speech, which he had
not prepared, and which, after the full discussion the
subject had received from the board, would be a/vitae-
tion on the patience of its members, in the same way as
the abolition of the Sabbath train itself has been upon
the patience of the public—he would simply rend an ex-
tract from the Act of Parliament, 7 and 8 of Victoria,
chap. 85, amt. 10, respecting the purchase of railways
by the Legislature, which enacts, as regards all rail-
ways having Sunday trains, "It will be imperative
thst the company shall provide comfortable covered
fourth-class carriages, stopping at all the stations, to run
for ld. per mile."—(Hear, hear.) The Act of Parlia-
ment recognises the principle of Sunday trains, to be
run at a very moderate rate, on certain conditions most
favourable to the working classes, but it does not make it
imperative for railways to run Sunday trains. This must
be a matter of arrangement to be made by the board of
directors of every company.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped,
therefore, that the pressure of public opinion upon the
Edinburgh and Glasgow board will render an application
to Parliament unnecessary, by making them feel the
very unenviable position in which they have placed
themselves by the late compact they hare entered into.
It was, to say, the least of it, a most unholy alliance.
The same outcry had now been raised against the Sab-
bath trains that was formerly so loudly extended against
Sunday funerals. It was then said that these funeral:,
with hea-ses, provided for the poor, would lead to dis-
order, tumult, and desecration; in place of these the very
opposite effects had resulted, namely, peace, order, and
the greatest decorum, without the slightest detriment to
religion and morality. Exactly similar beneficial con
sequences had accompanied the running of the railway
trains.---(Hear.)
After a few words from Mr. WHYTE in support of the
amendment, and some remarks from Mr. FALKNER in
favour of Mr. Tait's motion,
Mr. DICK said he had no doubt whatever, when this
matter was formerly before the council about supparting
the motion of Mr. Faikner, that the Sunday trains should
be continued; but he confessed that he had some doubts as
to the propriety of opposing bills which the railway com-
pany had introduced into Parliament for entering upon
undertakings that were intended for the public benefit,
merely because the directors refused to annul the i eso-
lution to which they had come to as to the running of
Sunday trains.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. CLARK said—Without expressing any opinion on
the motion now before the council, I could have wished
that Mr. Tait would have allowed the directors of the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company time to re-
consider more fully the position in which the inhabitants
of these important cities have been placed by their shut-
ting up all intercourse between them for nearly thirty
consecutive hours of every week. I think if the council
were to move at present in the matter they may after-
wards have cause for regret, from the fact that a portion
of the directors of that board left the matter in the hands
of those who were more immediately located and con-
nected with, and supposed to be cognisant of, the feelings
and opinions of the inhabitants of Scotland, seeing that
after an appeal has been made to the public opinion they
find that matters are much in accordance with their men
views instead of what was represented to them, when
they deputed their colleagues to make such arrange-
ments as would prove acceptable to the inha-
bitants of Scotland in reference to a commu-
nication between these cities on the Sabbath-day.
As I have now good authority for stating that the
line of neutrality which the English directors have
hitherto adopted shall not longer be continued—
hear)—and that the original facilities enjoyed by the osr,
public will shortly be restored, therefore, in my opinion,
any application to the Legislature is unnecessary, the
more so, that the power exists within the Board itself to

would not allow the railway to be open to the working-
man for purposes of necessity and mercy. -
Bailie DuNceer had regarded '.nis question as a different
question from that which had kteen discussed at a previous
meeting. He held that they were not discussing whether
it was a right and proper thing for those railway
directors to run a morning and an evening train on the
Sundays or not; but they were there on a motion calling
upon them to go to Parliament and oppose this railway
company in reference to any Bill which they might see
it right to introdufJe into Parliament. Now he thought
with
lemen Mr. Clark, that' this motion was premature. The
gent whta were in charge of the railway might get
a little breaatiing space to consider tho matter, and it
was poss Pele enough, if they saw such demonstrations of
opinion 'of the enlightened opposition of this country as
had ;Jaen alluded to, that they might be induced to re-
stare matters to their former condition. He was much
pleased to receive from a gentleman connected with the
railway company the motion on which the Sunday trains
had hitherto been running ; and he would take the
liberty of reading it. It was adopted in February,
1842, and was to the effect, that trains should be dis-
patched morning and evening, at such hours as should
allow the servants of the company, and those travelling
with the trains, an opportunity of attending divine ser-
vice. Ho was not aware, when the discussion took
place, of the precise terms of this motion, but he had
since, ascertained, upon what he considered good au-
thbrity, that this motion had not always been acted up
'to. Ile had been told that the number of individuals
leaving Glasgow and coming to Edinburgh, was Small

indeed ; but that the number leaving Glasgow, and
going out at such stations as Kirkintilloch, Croy, and
Castlecary, was very great. He ascertained that from
200 to 250 left Glasgow every Sabbath, but that the
great majority of these persons were not on works of
necessity or mercy. They were not connected with the
localities to which they went ; and that they went to
Kirkintilloch for the purpose of spending the day in the
neighbourhood of Campsie Glen. fie was likewise told
that in the afternoon it resembled very much a fair or
a race-day, and that it was necessary to open the sta-
tion-house an hour before the usual time, in order that
they might issue the sixpenny tickets to these persons.
He mentioned these facts for this reason, that if the
former resolution was to be again adopted by the com-
pany, it might be done under proper regulations in
reference to the matter to which he referred. He had
already said that the motion was premature ;
and he thought there was great force in what was
stated by Bailie Mack, in regard to the matter of
the funds. Were they, as a Town Couucil, called upon
by the urgency of this matter ?—did it come so near to
them as to affect the interests of the community so much
(and here it should be remembered that they had not yet
got a specific return of the number of individuals pass-
ing on the Sundays from Edinburgh to Glasgow) as
would justify them in using the funds of the corporation
in carrying on an opposition to the Bills of the company
in Parliament ? There was another reason, however.
These gentlemen said that it was a regard for the Sab-
bath wich induced them to come to this resolution ;
and were they to visit this act with pains and penalties?
—(Cries of " No, No.") He would ask his frieads, the
dissenters at the council board, to consider well this
matter before they were prepared to take such a step.
If he wanted to get a Bill from Parliament for the pur-
pose of advancing his ovvn pecuniary interests, -and if,
because he held certain principles, he was to be opposed
by the Town Council in his endeavour to get that Bill,
they were punishing him because he held these religious
opinions.—(" No, no," and " Hear, hear.") But there
was another ground on which this motion should be
resisted, and that was the ground taken up by Mr.
Dick. They all knew that no measure which this com-
pany might introduce would pass the Legislature unless
it in some degree contributed to the advantage of the
public welfare; and this being the case, the motion pro-
posed by Mr. Tait reminded him very much of the
story of the boy who had got his foot hurt, and because
he did not rind his mother disposed to pay some little at-
tention to him, and to grant him some little request, he
said, "I will be revenged upon you;" an 1 he struck hts
foot against a wall. Now, because the directors of this
railway refused to run Sabbath trains, they were pro-
posing by this motion, to frustrate the attempt of the
company to get means which would be for the public
welfare.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore he thought that in
the whole circumstances, the consideration of this motion
should be disassociated with anything that the council
did on a former day; and he (Bailie Duncan) could see
no inconsistency whatever in gentlemen who supported
the motion proposed at the previous meeting, now voting
against that of Mr. Tait.—(Hear )
The LORD PROVOST said that the difficulty started by
Mr. Dick in regard to the motion was fully met, if not in
the motion, at all events in the speech of Mr. Tait, in
which he proposed that it should be left to the Lord
Provost's committee to take such steps as they might
consider to be most proper for accomplishing the object.
There had been a great deal said about the large sum
that would be expended in opposing the Bills of the rail-
way company in Parliament, and he begged for himself
to say that if the matter came before the Lord Provost's
committee, he would oppose as much as any one the ap-
propriation of the city's funds for opposing this Bill.
But he would tell them that, without expending one far-
thing, they would put a spoke in their wheel. He would
take upon himself to guarantee this. Then, as to the
tyrannical nature of the motion, alluded to by Bailie
Mack, his lordship said he would like to know on whose
aide the tyranny lay. He was of opinion that it lay a ith
the directors, who had tied up their legs, and would not
I allow them the means of locomotion, who bad placed a
wall across the railway, and said, " You shall not cross
it."—(ffear, hear.) Bailie Mack proposed—and the
proposition was a very natural one to come from a
lawyer—that if they wanted redress they should takeout
a suspension and interdict of the Court of Session. That
was not a very pleasant thing; but he would suggest that
a far more easy road was, to meet the directors in Par-
liament, when they would be quit of the quibbles and
quibbling of the Jaw.---( A laugh.) Therefore, as to ap-
plying for an interdict, he had no wish to try that. The
Council had already come to the resolution that they
should endeavour to have that road opened en the Sun-
day; and if it was a right thing that this should be
done, ought they not to take effective measures for se-
curing- that object? And as they had the means of ef-
fecting that object, they ought not to hesitate to take
them.—(hear, hear.) The memorial referred to by
Bailie Mack, as emanating from the tradesmen of Lon
don, was against the openingof the shops on the Sundays.
This was not the opening of a railway, but the opening
of the regular business of London. Now, he, for
one, was as much opposed to the carrying on of or-
dinary labour on that day, as he was opposed to the re-
solution of the directors discontinuing a morning and
an evening train on the Sundays. Bailie Duncan had
given them an account of the numbers who went from
Glasgow to Kirkintilloch. for the purpose of visiting
Campsie Glen. Now he had the authority of a talented
and highly respected gentleman for saying that, as Glas-
gow drew its working population from all the towns in
the country, the railway, being open on the Sabbath
day, enabled many of these persons to visit the towns
from which they came, and to attend the churches there
with their parents or their sisters. But even granting
that a great number of those that went to Kirkintilloch
spent the day in visiting Gampsie Glen, if they did not
think they were doing wrong, what right had we to
coerce them by shutting tip the means of conveyance?
And when it was remembered that these were not ihe
individuals who were in the habit of attending upon
church, he would ask if it was not better that they
should be enjoying themselves in a visit to that glen,
rather than in the lanes and tippling houses of Glasgow.
As to the idea of pains and penalties mooted by Bailie
Duncan, his Lordship said he had no difficulty at all in
meeting it. The directors, when they went to Parlia-
ment, came untle.t an implied agreement th tt they
were to give accommodation to the public ; and if they
did not fulfil that agreement, was it not quite right,
when they came again before Parliament, that they
should not get farther powers, until they had discharged
the duties previously imposed upon them?—(ll. ar,
hear.) The Lord l'rovost concluded by saying that
there was nothing that a railway company dreaded more
than a little opposition in a Parliamentary Corms-dm e ;
therefore, if the directors did not do what was just, they
had only to tell them that they would meet them where
they would get justice:—(gear, hear.)
Mr. C. B. TAIT having added to its motion the follow-
ing paragraph :—" and that it be left to the Lord Pro-
vost's committee to inquire what steps may be taken to
give effect to this resolution," the roll was called, when
20 voted for the motion, and seven for the amendment.
For Mr. C. B. Tait's motion,—The Lord Provost,
Bailies Ritchie and Tullis, Messrs. Burke, Fallsner Wil-
son, Anderson, Stott, A. Robertson, Blyth, IVemyss,
Hay, Drummond, Cochrane, Calder, Dick, Cruckshunk,
Clark, C. B. Tait, Renton.
For Bailie Mack's Amendment—Bailies Mack and
Duncan, Convener Cushnie, and Messrs. Burgess,
Whyte, A. Tait, and J. Robertson.

A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.—Some time ago, a poor
fagitive escaped from Maryland, and, hotly followed by
the pursuer, on his way to safety beneath the broad flag
of Old England, in Canada, was overtaken and seized in

The other lawyer then said he should require proof that

owner." Then the old judge rose to his feet, and with a
voice of thunder, strangely loud for one so old, de-

replied the ai'tonished owner. " Take it away I take it

"It is not valid, sir ; it is falsely signed, sir ; it is a
blasphemous forgery, ; none can sign that bill of sale
but God Alm:ghty. ' The court was electrified ; the
slaveholder slunk out, and Vermont, awakened like a
