THE SABBATH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sut,—l have so often made use of your paper on
this subject that I dare not now ask but for a very
little space, and on which to make as briefly as pos-
sible a definite suggestion. Perhaps at some future'
time, when your paper is less engaged with Parlia-
mentary matters, you will allow me at large to ex-
pose by religious arguments the abominable and un-
christian conduct of the Sabbatarians, for such argu-
ments are now by no means incompatible with the
objects of a political journal, inasmuch as those Sabbath.
keeping, Judaizing fanatics have, by their Legislative
persecutions, rendered the subject as much political as
religious.

now, however, write merely to give you a hint
as to the formation of a central association, which
could receive from appointed agents, in various dis-
tricts throughout the kingdom, a weekly report of
the Sunday doings of each of those Parliamentary
tyrants who wilt impose on us any cruel restrictions
such as those which now destroy the blessedness and
enjoyments of our Sunday. Such an association
will ,have the opportunity. of making known to the
world the Sunday doings of each those hypocrites
who in their own conduct violate those laws they
profess to follow, and to make obligatory on others.
You, Sir, will readily see in such a plan a wide
opening for moral and religious reformation, afford-
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
concheie amthi. '

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta,—May I trouble you to answer the following
I posted a letter of some
question relative to the district delivery of the Post-
importance, at St. Martin's-le-Grand, at twenty
morning
minutes to ten o'clock in the morning, it arrived at
its destination, OM 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, 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 the
time I put u in the letterbox, and its arrival at its
destination.—l am, Sir, &c.,
Thursday, July 18. W. COLEMAN.
[lt ought to have been delivered at twelve o'clock.

SITE OF THE EIHIBITIO N OF 1851.—Mr. Medwin,
of Regent street, in transmi.ttinga cheque for five guineas to
the funds, says it was his intttinion to have subscribed only
two guineas, but in consequence of the misrepresentations
and ridicule cast upon the exhibition and its royal projector,
he had increased his subscription. He wishes to mark his
opinion that the commissioners are right in keeping to Hyde-
park as the site, and not yielding to the clamour with which
neither the public at large, nor even the holders of property
iu the neighbourhood, sympathise.
