Sunday Liquor Traffic.

Mr. 'Walpole received a deputation in a Com-
mittee-room of the Hous3 of Commons on
Thursday evening, consisting of Archbishop Man-
ning, Rev. John Garrett, D.D., Mr. Henry Wig-
ham, fro Dublin, and Mr. J. P. Corry, J.P., with
Mr. Robert Lindsey, J.P., from Belfast. The de-
putation was introduced by Dr. Garrett, and ac-
companied by Mr. Bazley, M.P. ; Mr. B. Whit-
worth, M. P ; Mr. Blake, NI. P. ; and Mr. Swan, M.P.
Dr. GARRETT explained that the number present
might have been greatly increased but for anunwill-
ingness to trouble Mr. Walpole any more than was
necessary at so busy a moment, pointing out that
very large interests were represented from all districts
of the country, and of all parties in religious thought,
so that a very remarkable unanimity of opinion
prevailed upon the subject, in which the deputation
wished to receive the assistance of the Government.
He then stated that two bills were prepared to be
introduced into the House of Commons, by Mr.
John Abel Smith for Engllnd and Wales, and by
Major O'Reilly for Ireland, by which it would be
proposed to further regulate the sale of intoxicating
liquors on Sunday, placing the law in both countries
on exactly the same footing. The principle of the
new bills would be the stopping of the sale all over
the country for consumption on the premises during
the whole of Sunday. This being effected there
would be two exemptions from the operations of the
proposed law :-1. Sale for consumption off the
premises may continue between the hours of 1 and
half-past 2, and between 8 and 9 ; 2. Bona fide
eating-houses will be exempted from the extended
restrictions. The new bills had been prepared under

the most eminent legal advice, and leading mem-
bers of both houses of Parliament had expressed
readiness to support them, as the provisions would
remedy calamitous injuries at present known to exist
among the people, while no necessary or reasonable
accommodation would be interfered with.

Archbishop MANNING, as the chief pastor of the
poorest portion of the population, heartily supported
the statements made by Dr. Garrett, and earnestly
hoped the chief secretary would assist in passing the
proposed bills into law as speedily as possible. He
set forth the deep and increasing irjuries which have
been growing among the people from the vast ma-
chinery in operation to tempt the men away from
their homes, and to separate them from domestic ties
during that day of rest on which families ought to
be most united, and he expressed his deliberate
opinion that, if the existing abuse of the public-
house and beerhouse system should b 3 allowed to
continue its baneful effects on Sunday, before long
a permanent destruction of home ties must result
among that mass of the people where such ties are
most highly valuable. Dr. Manning also urged
that the existing system was too powerful to be met
by all the religious and moral influence which the
combined efforts of Christian institutions can exer-
cise, and he felt satisfied the exemptions in the pro-
posed bills were wisely prepared and were sufficient
to meet every reasonable want of any class of the
population.
i3atioAnz.L
Ey,
M.P.,
informed Mr. Walpole that

whoa he had accompanied Dr. Garrett to Lord Derby
with a deputation of working men from Lambeth
his lordship had expressed his opinion that Parlia-
ment would not pass a law closing such houses alto-
gether on Sunday, but that such exemptions as are
embodied in the proposed bills would probably lead
to a favourable reception in the House of Commons,
and that he did not anticipate any opposition to such
a measure in the House of Lords.
Mr. BLAKE, si.P., and Mr. SYNAN, M.P., stated
that in Ireland the public mind is quite prepared for
a stronger measure then what is now proposed ; but
they quite agreed that it was the right course to
make the law the same in both countries.

WIGHAII, from Dublin, and Mr. LINDSEY,
J.P., from Belfast, expressed the same opinions.
Mr. WALPOLE assured the deputation that, per-
sonally, he quite agreed with them, but should con-
sult the other members of the Government before
he promised to advocate the proposed legislation, to
ascertain whether the Cabinet would agree to give
the measure united support. lie expressed his ap-
