was one which affected all their properties to a vast
amount, and not merely an official arrangement affecting
the pos'-orfi.ie. Such an alteration ought to have been
wade, if at all. by an Act of Parliament. The matter
had not been fairly argued in the House of Commons,
and he suggested that they should at once get an inde-
pendent Member of that House to state their case, and
to tithe its sense on a motion for the rescinding of the
regulation. It necessary he could have a call of the
whole House for the purpose. If such were done he had
no clout): that those who were favourable to the measure
woulci be beaten by a majority of four or five to one.
Tile real object of the supdortors of the regulation was
not t) prevent the delivery of letters on Sunday, but to
deprive the people. of the opportunity of reading the
weekly newspapers. No man had a right to say that
the employment on Sundays of tl.ree or four persons in
the Pos:-office for the convenience of a large commu-
nity a could cease, while he himself employ el an equal
number of persons at his own house on that day for his
own convenienee.—(Bear, hear.) He concluded by
seconding the resolution.
Mr. Le:E, of Bell's Weekly Messenger, in opposing the
adoption of the resolution, ,said that as far as the mea-
sure icsalf was concerned, he thought that it would be
productive of immense good to the public at large. The
proprietors of the paper which he represented had many
years given up the practice of printing on Sunday. It
was evident from what had been stated that those who
objected to the alteration were actuated by nutbing more
than pecuniary motives, without any consideration of the
moral bearing of the question. He thought that no
ureaimre ever passed which had so fully the concurrence
of the people of this country, and even those who had
the greatest advantage of the transmission of letters,
such as merchants, bankers, and solicitors, came for-
ward in its support in hundreds and thousands.—(" Oh,
oh.") He then moved the previous question.
Mr. OAKEY, of the Christian Times, seconded the
amendment.
After a few words from Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Serie,
in refutation of the statement made by Mr. Lee and Mr.
Oakey, the original resolution was carried almost
unanimously.
Mr. THOMAS, of the Courier de L'Europe, moved,
" That a committee be formed to take into consideration
the general interests of the press, especially a regarded
the efforts to interfere with the circulation of papers by
Sunday Bills."
It was seconded by Mr. R. J. Woon, of the Dispatch,
and carried.
The following gentlemen were then agreed to, to
form the committee, with power to add to their num-
ber:—Messrs. Ingram, Mortimer, Bunnay, Serie, Wood,
Wrightson, Ledger, Scott, Thomas Palmer, and Stiff.
Mr. J. J. Scott was appointed honorary secretary.
The meeting then separated, the usual vote of thanks
to the Chairman having been agreed to.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
HAMPTON RACES.—TIIIIRSDAY.
The first day at Hampton, as regards sport, is usually
the best, and to racing men by far tho most enjoyable;
but the " public" who help to find the " ways and
means," have invested the " Queen's Guineas" with the
character that attaches to the Derby at Epsom, and the
Emperor's Plate at Ascot, and have accordingly dubbed
Thursday the "grand day." It is due to them to state,
that they did it full honour yesterday; such a throng,
we venture to say, was never before seen on ➢ioulsey
Hurst. Trains, filled to an extent beyond their regu-
lated capacity, were started at intervals, which, but for
the arrangement 4, and the care with which they were
carried out, would scarcely have been consistent with
safety; how many were unable to obtain conveyance, if
any, we have no means of ascertaining; but certainly
hundreds failed to reach the course until after the first
race. The read was also thronged, and groat numbers
adopted the cooler and more agreeable, if not the
quickest route, of water. Much confusion necessarily
arose, and we heard of many conirttemps, both by laud
and water, happily, at least as far as our knowledge ex-
tends, without any serious consequences'. On the whole
it was, tcyond question, the most successful grand day
known at Hampton, and it is gratifying to add that, be-
yond a disregard of the time of starting, and a want of
experience in the starter, the management was very
creditable. There was one drawback, however, to the
complete enjoyment of the day, which remains to bo no-
ticed. While the first heat was in progress, a lad ra❑
on to the course at the moment tho horses were passing,
and Queensberry% shoulder striking his head he was
thrown with great force; ho was taken up insensible, and
when we left the ground was reported to be dead. This,
we hope and believe, was the only accident of a serious
nature.
The racing was announced to commence at two o'clock,
but the order of running, so far as the time was con-
cerned, was nut by any means strictly observed; in fact,
from the immense mob on the course, the police had
such great difficulty in clearing it, that punctuality was
out ut the question—at llampton, indeed, it would have
been out of character. The following is a sketch of the
ra2ing:—
A Handicap Sweepstakes of 3 son. each, with 25 added,
for three yrs old and upwards. Three quarters of a
mile.
