SUNDAY TRADING BILL.—A public meeting took
place yesterday evening, at the Literary and Scientific In-
stitution, John• street, Tottenham-court-road, for the purpose
of petitioning Parliament against the Sunday Trading Bill;
Mr. Thomas Cooper in the chair. Mr. Ruffin moved that
the Sunday Trading Prevention Bill now before a Committee
of the House of Commons was both uncalled for and unjust ;
uncalled for, because it was a vain attempt to coerce people
into piety by Act of Parliament; and unjust because it
abridged the liberty of the working man in providing for
his own and family's wants, while the rich were practically
exempt from its provisions This was seconded and carried
unanimously. It was then agreed that a petition, founded
on the resolution, should be sent to Parliament, and the
meeting t-rminated.

A POSSIBLE PUSEYITE, MINISTRY.—A.midat the
just now •
extraordinary state of confrision which at present prevails
ratiroens to bringm abort
among political parties, and the possible contingencies
which may occur at any hour, it is right the public should
be made aware of the fact, that the Puseyite party, aided
hh e
clandestine,r ent s of P Popery, eerl
e,
thetho
though
a state of things which will terminate in th
mostaand
asbtertetnt by
,
construction of
a Tractarian Cabinet. It is a somewhat ale fact, that
several of the Puseyite party have been alarming
:See before,
though their Puseyism had not then developed itself, and
that, consequently, they possess h
w atever recommendation
official experience can give them. The persons to whom we
refer are Lord Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, Mr. Gladstone,
the Duke of Newcastle, Mr. Cardwell, and Mr. Sydney Her-
bert. A Cabinet consisting of such men would be. to all
practical purposes, a Popish Cabinet. In that case, we need
not say what would become of the Protestant religion in
these realms, or of the Protestant succession to the Throne .
The importance of the matter cannot be exaggerated. It is
well that the country should not shut its eyes to the possi-
bility—we had almost said probability—of such a contin-
gency. As bearing on the question of probability, it must
not be forgotten, that these noblemen and gentlemen are all
free-traders, and that the men of the Manchester school
would rather be disposed, than otherwise, to abet their aspi-
rations after office.—Adrertiser.
Paereusseer.—The Rev. John Sandford, 8.D.,
vicar of Dunchrrch and honorary canon of Worcester, to
the Archdeacenry cf Coventry, on the resignation of the
-Venerable Archdeacon Spooner. Patron, Lord Bishop of
Worcester.
THE EXPLOSION AT JOHNSTONE.--The North
British Mail says—There is li'tle doubt that the explosion
arose simply from the over-pressure of steam, and not from
any more abstruse or mysterious agency, such as the sudden
expansion of highly-heated steam. The fire-box or flue
was a large one, and not strong enough to resist the pressure
to which the boiler was exposed. It is, we believe, rarely
that so simple a case of explosion from over-pressure occurs.
INVOLUNTARY SUICIDE.---In St. Sidwell's, on
Thursday, a child, two years old, whilst meddling with some
