will ,have the opportunity of making known to the
world the Sunday doings of each of those hypocrites
who in their owu conduct violate those laws they
profess to follow, and to make obligatory on others.
You, Sir, will
opening for moral and religious reformation, afford-
readily see in such a plan a wide
ing as it will do a striking exposure of cant and
hypocrisy, and by bringing these legislating impostors
and cowards to the test of their own profession, and
by showing that both it and they are at variance
with Christ, and with the pure, holy, and riteless re-
ligion of the New Testament. That such men as
Mr. Muntz, and any pretended lover of civil
and religious liberty, can blend their idleness
with the selfish superstition of the Sabbatarians,
and consider that such indolence on the Sunday (as he
confessed to) justifies them in putting restrictions on
me and my conscience, is a thing which justly excites
,
my indignation and disgust. But as the association
would in due time, bring to light those hidden
things of darkness, and make every man's doings
manifest, I will at once conclude this.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stn,—May I trouble you to answer the following
question relative to the district delivery of the Post-
office ?
Yesterday morning I posted a letter of some
importance, at St. Alartin's-le-Grand, at twenty
minutes to ten o'clock in the morning, it arrived at
its destination, Old St. Pancras-road, at twenty-five
minutes past three o'clock in the afternoon—a dis-
tance of little more than two miles. What I wish to
know is, whether the hour at which the letter was
delivered as directed, is the proper time at which it
ought to have been received ? If so, I cannot say
much for the vaunted speedy transmission of letters
by the English Post-office—the letter in question oc-
cupying only five hours forty-five minutes from tb,
time I put it in the letter- boa, and its arrival at its
(lestination.—l am, Sir, &c.,
Thursday, July 18. W. COLEMAN.

SOCIETY FOR THE REFORM OF
COLONIAL GOVERNMENT.
Last evening the anniversary dinner of thia society
was held at the Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich ; Lord
Monteagle in the chair. The company sat down to
dinner at eight o'clock, and among those present were
the Bishop of Oxford, Lord Lyttelton, Sir William
Molelworth, M.P., the Rev. Thomas Jackson, Bishop
th-signate of New Zealand ; Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr.
Hume, M.P., Mr. Aglionby,.M.P., the Hon. F. Scott
M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P., Hon. W. F. Campbell,
M.P., Mr. John Simeon, M.P.' Hon. W. Wrottes-
ley, Messrs. E. G. Wakefield, T. J. Coster, R. Lowe,
—Fitzgerald, J. D. Salis, Dr. Black, &c.
On the removal cf the cloth grace was said by the
Bishop of Oxford.
The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, the com-
pany were addressed by the Chairman, who, in a
speech of great length, condemned the colonial policy
of the G )vernment, and concluded by proposing
"Success to the Colonial Society," and with that
toast he coupled the name of "Sir William Moles-
worth."
Sir W. MOLESWORTII, M.P., returned thanks. The
association for the reform of colonial government had
been formed with a great object, which deserved suc-
cess, and owed its origin to a party of gentlemen who
had met there last year, when it was felt by them
that the colonies were in a critical state. The society
had been framed without reference to political parties ;
among its ranks were to be found Whigs and Tories
and even Radicals, with Protectionists as well as
Financial Reformers. The Hon. Baronet spoke of
the influence which this society had wielded, and re-
ferred to the measure which had been introduced into
the House of Commons, at the instance of this society,
for the reform of colonial government. The society
had done well for the last year, and he therefore
hoped it was deserving of the thanks of the colonies.
The Bishop of OXFORD said he had been desired to
propose, " Success to the Canterbury Colony in New
Zealand," and he begged to couple with that toast
" The Health of Lord Lyttelton." He referred to the
colony of Canterbury as a thing in posse, not in esse,
and it was always dangerous to speak of the great hopes
of success where there was a great prospect
of failure. His own opinion was that the probabi-
lity of failure exceeded the probability of success. He
thought, however, that this undertaking embodied the
first principle or idea of colonisation which was not
emigration—it was not the shovelling off of ship loads
of our fellow-creatures, because they were a trouble
to have them in this country. Colonies were intended
to be the reproduction of the mother land; this was
the intention laid down by the great worthies of the
land; and he trusted that by Saxon sense and enter-
prise, this undertaking, under the blessing of God,
would be brought to a successful completion. The
Right Rev. Prelate concluded an eloquent address by
proposing "The New Settlement of Canterbury,"
and with that toast " Lord Lyttelton."
Lord LITTELTON returned thanks, and alluded to
the exertions of Mr. Godley, who was really the
founder of this settlement. At that time last year
they bad met all those who were then assembled, or
the great majority of them, and those present on the
former occasion would remember that they were de-
prived of the pleasure and advantage of having that
gentleman by reason of his indisposition at the time, and
it had fallen upon him (Lord Lyttelton) to take the
lead in this matter. But it only reminded him of the
impossibility of his supplying his place. No doubt
there were specialties about the case of Canter-
bury Settlement, into which he would not go then.
The Noble Lord deprecated the measure for the better
government of the colonies of Australia, as not esta-
blishing the principle of self-government.
Mr. HUME condemned the mischievous tendency of
our colonial policy, and referred to the conduct of the
colonists of the Cape of Good Hope in terms of ap-
proval, and concluded by giving " The Colony of the
Cape of Good Hope and Mr. Adderley."
Mr. ADDERLEY returned thanks, and expressed his
sympathy with the colonists of the Cape of Good
Hope, who had set an example which, if circumstances
required it, he hoped other colonies would adopt, but
he hoped that a better system of things was in store.
This association has increased in importance, and
though it received no contributions from the colonies
it had received in six months a sum of 2401., and of
that sum about 1601. had been expended, leaving a
balance of about 801. for the recommencement of the
year. The Honourable Gentleman detailed the
different publications which had been printed at the
instance of the society. Among other Matters they
had republished the American Charters, and he had
been told by the librarian of the British Museum,
that if the society had done nothing more than
reprint these charters they had done that which
entitled them to public respect. There had been
published under the auspices of the society the last
speech of Lord Lyttelton on the Australian Bill. The
speech of Lord John Russell on the opening of Par-
liament, and which excited so much notice, was based
on a manifesto of this society. Upon that manifesto
his Lordship made his commentary. He believed that
no man had ever made greater speeches in favour of
colonial government reform 'when out of office than
Lord Grey and Mr. Hawes; but how altered was
their tone when in office ! - He was sorry that Lord
Wodehouse was not there, that Noble Lord having
been compelled to attend"the Agricultural Society at
Exeter.

Mr. SCOTT proposed " Success to the Australian
Colonies," and coupled with that the name of Mr.
Lowe.

Mr. LowE, in a very elcquent speech, advocated
the right of the Australian colonies to self-govern-
ment, and deplored the policy of Earl Grey, which
would ultimately tend to put to hazard the prosperity
of all our colonies, mid to do away with that feeling
of devoted loyalty which now especially characterised
the Australian colonies.
Mr. Hums gave " The Health of Lord Monteagle,
their Chairman."
The Noble Lord returned thanks.

SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION.
The election of a Member for this borough to fill the
vacancy caused by Mr. Cockburn's acceptance of the
office of Solicitor• General, took place yesterday, when
Honourable Gentleman was re-elected without the
slightest show of opposition. There was very little ex-
citement in the town, and, judging from the appearance
of the streets, few persons would have imagined that an
election was going on. Mr. Cockburn was accompanied
by a large party of his friends from his Committee-
room to the Audit house, where the nominatioa took
place, and was loudly cheered on entering that building.
The usual preliminaries over,
Mr. T. L. HARMAN rose to propose the re-election of
Mr. Cockburn as the representative of Southampton in
Parliament, and i❑ so doing paid a high compliment to
the great abilities and past Parliamentary conduct of
that gentleman.

Mr. GEORGE LAISHLEY (the late Mayor) secondei the
nomination.

No other candidate having been proposed,
The MATott declared that Mr. A. E. Cockburn was duly
elected.

Mr. COCKBURN then came forward to address the
electors, and was received with renewed cheering. He
thanked them from his heart for the renewed confidence
they bad that day reposed in him, and the unanimity
with which that favour was conferred. He also took
that opportunity of thanking his political opponents,
who, conscious that they could not disturb his re-election,
had not subjected him to any if the annoyances of a
contested election, or any of those political attacks which
the asperities of elections too often evoked. The Hon.
Gentleman then entered upon a somewhat lengthened
explanation of his past conduct, and the chief leading
questions which at present occupy the attention of the
public. He hoped to see the time when education and
the elective franchise would go hand in hand, and all
men should have given to them political power, and the
means by which they should be taught how to make a
proper use of that power. He wished to see commerce
tree, especially in the articles of food, and the principle
of free trade carried out to its fullest extent. They
were at the present time in a position of con-
siderable danger, and he expressed his firm con-
viction that on the continuance of the present Go-
vernment in office, looking at the present state of
political parties, depended whether the principle of free
trade should be preserved in its integrity. A combina-
tion had lately been made between many of those who
had supported the free-trade measures of the Govern•
ment and the Protectionists, to overthrow the Govern-
ment. There had been a sort cf middle class between
the Government and the Protectionists, which had
always supported free-trade measures, but they began to
get tired of their position, seeing no chance of getting
into power whilst the present Ministry remained in
office. So they formed an alliance, and the Protec-
tiouists, who were the strongest party, made their own
terms. lie then referred to the measure lately intro-
duced by the Government to amend and extend the
Irish franchise. The constituency in that country had,
from various causes, become greatly diminished, and the
Government proposed, in consequence, to admit a Le A,
constituency into the cities and boroughs, by giving
the franchise to all Si. householders. The measure
passed the House or Commons, but as soon as it got to
the House of Lords they raised the qualification to
IL/, and thus mutilated the Bill of its last and most
salutary provisions. Mr. Cockburn then referred to
the question of law reform, on which he had taken
a determined course, and which ho believed the Go-
vernment were determined to carry out. He declared
most emphatically that he would not continue in office,
unless it afforded him the means of carrying out those
reforms in the law which he, as a lawyer, knew to be so
essential. Ile next dilated on the question of the foreign
policy of the Government. He always felt gratified to
stand by Lord Palmerston in his conduct on foreign
affairs, and the other day he (Mr. Cockburn) thought it
right to contribute his feeble adv. cacy to the defence of
that policy. If the present Government were removed,
and their opponents took their places, they would soon
be involved iu a war, and foreign tyrants would go on
unchecked. On these grounds he felt pleasure in join-
ing the Government, and he fe!t satisfied, if the Govern•
meat were well supported by the people, that they would
do their best to further the cause of constitutional free-
dom and liberty. He then remark• d on the important
question of education. It was an alarming fact that one-
half of the population of this country could neither read
nor write. Why were each large miSeeS of the people

left without the means of attaining instruction, on
which their moral, social, and religious interests de-
pended, both here and hereafter? The difficulty lay in
the fact, that all the people did not hold the same reli-
gious opinions, and the school was made the great
battle-field for supremacy amongst rival sects. While
the State was willing to provide the means of education
they could not do it—they were hampered by difficulties
on every hand. The Government were met at every
stage by opposition and difficulties springing from bi-
gotry, interest, or some other such motive. After al-
luding to one or two other questions, Mr. Cockburn
concluded a most eloquent and elaborate address, which
was loudly applauded throughout; by requesting his
constituents to watch his conduct, and jog his memory
if he did not go quite fast enough for them; and when-
ever they considered that he had forfeited their con-
fidence, they had the remedy in their own hands.
The lion. Member resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic
applause. .

Three cheers were then given for Mr. Cockburn,
three for the Queen, three for Lord Palmerstor, and
three for Mr. Wilc,a, Mr. Cockburn's colleague in the
representation.

Several electors subsequently addressed the assembly
on diff,rent topics, and the proceedings closed with
a vote of thanks to the Ma3or and the Returning Officer.

THAMES BOAT RACES.
The second of the series of periodical races under the
above title, in lieu of the Royal Thames Regatta, took
place 3 esterday evening, over the old course at Putney
—the great contest fir the coat, badge, and freedom, an-
nually- presented by Mr. Evan Morris, for young water-
men in the sixth or seventh year of their apprentice-
ships—a race which, from its first institution, has inva-
riably afforded first-rate sport, and has been watched
with considerable interest, as bringing out the best men
of the season.
The scene was altogether most gay and animated ;
thousands of spectators had assembled upon the shore
at various points where the bust view could be obtaiLed
of the rowing, while the river was studded with boats of
every description, from the patrician eight down to the
humble dingy. The Leander, the Thames, the Meteor,
and other great clubs putting in an appearance amongst
the first class, to which were added the Endeavour (late
the Goldsmiths' Company's barge), with a vast assem-
blage of the elite of Putney and its vicinity on board ;
and another belonging to Messrs. &ado, which had
been kindly chartered by Mr. Dlorris, to afford the
children of the Watermen's and National Schools a
treat in witnessing the race. Bands of music were play-
ing to all directions, and tended much to the gaiety of
the scene.

The diatance was from Putney to Hammersmith; and
in this heat (the liberal donor of the valuable prize, to
which are added various sums by the regatta committee,
officiating as umpire in the first and last heats, and Mr.
11"vea, of the Leander Club, in the second) there
were two starts, owing to an accidental foul before they
had proceeded 300 yards, which induced Mr. Morris
very properly to call them all back. On the second oc-
casion as good a start, without anything to cause an
interruption, taefrrrauidptitoonofotlolowwoerdk,,excepting that Black lingered as

When he got fairly to work he proved that ho had got
something in him, and was no mean opponent. Green
took the lead, closely followed by Pink, Stripe making a
capital third. As they neared the first point Black gave
unequivocal symptoms of mending his place, which he
did by subsequently overhauling Stripe, and then Pink.
The race was capitally contested throughout, more par-
ticularly for second place, and Green won by a length
only.

They had scarcely proceeded a hundred yards or so

the lead and retaining
throughout from off the Duke's Head, where ho first
began to show in front. Morton, whose form of rowing
was far superior to the others, although his condition
was evidently not so good, kept a close second for a con-
siderable distance, but gave way upon lmng pressed to
the Surrey shore by his opponent, Yellow-and-black,
