TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1850.

shareholder, but he had also the honour of being one of
the auditors of the line, and he could boldly state, in the
face of those who said that an auditor would only speak
as the directors prompted him, that the assertion was un-
founded. He was entirely independent of the directors,
and he rejoiced to say that that company was conducted
i❑ so honourable, straightforward, and noble a manner,
that any shareholder could see the accounts ever since
the company was established, and could be an auditor
himself if he chose, and so satisfy himself of their accu-
racy. They all knew that the company bad struggled
on uncicr a cloud that darkened the whole atmosphere;
but he believed that cloud was dispelled now by the sun
of a coming traffic, which at no distant period
would place them under the happiest auspices.
—(Cheers.) Having counselled the shareholders
whatever they did never to consent •to have Govern-
ment auditors, Mr. Chapma❑ concluded by saying that
he thanked God for the national triumph they were ce-
lebrating that day.—(llear, hear.) He prayed that the
Vile might be made a national blessing, and he was sure
it vra'4 the feeling of all present to join him iu a thanks-
giving of '• Non nobis Domine."—(Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of Mr. Bras-
sey, with thanks to him for providing such excellent
cheer f oi the party."—(Cheers.)
Mr. BaassEY said that he wished he felt as little dif-
ficulty in aeknowledging the compliment which had
been paid to him as he had in Making the cuttings.,
the embankments, and the bridges on their line. IL
expressed his regret that Mr. Peto and Mr. Betts
were not there to join.in the expression of thanks which
he tendered to the company on behalf of the contrac-
tors for the line. In his own name, and t n their
behalf, and for Mr. Pearce, Mr. Smith, Mr. Jay, and
Mr. Costa, he begod to acknewle ige the kind support
hich they had received from the directors, chiet engi-
neer, and ail the offi:ers connected with the railway.
Without that support they would have been unab'•e to
open the line on the 5-:h of August. Mr. Brassey sat
down, proposing the health of the chief engineer, Mr.
Joseph Ctabitt.
Mr. JOSEPH CUBITT briefly returned thanks.

The Hon. A. KINNAIRD then gave "The health of Mr.
Beckett Denison and the directors of the company," stat-
ing it as his belief that no remuneration which the
shareholders could give, and nothing but a sense of
public duty, could have carried a body of gentlemen
through an undertaking like theirs.
The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said he was
never connected with a body of men having to carry out
any public work who were more anxious to discharge
faithfully the trust they had undertaken in behalf of
others than the gentlemen with whom he had been as-
sociated at the board of that company for the last few
years. He could safely say he had never seen the
slightest attempt or the most distant approach to any-
thing like what was commonly called jobbing—(Cheers)
—or taking personal advantages fur themselves as di-
rectors such as had been ascribed, but which he could
not prove to attach, to any other boards with which
he •was not connected. He believed no other com-
pany ever had more honest and faithful trustees; and he
challenged any man living to adduce au instance
where the interest of the shareholders was not the
first consideration with the whole body of their
directors from the first moment of the company's for-
mation up to the present hour.—(Hear.) They might
indeed have committed errors of judgment—he did not
affect to say that they had been altogether tree from
such—but this merit he did claim for them, that of
having acted throughout as honestly as they could; and
they now stood before the shareholders and the public
with a sound and clear conscience.—(Cheers.) That
the work which they had carried out at the desire of the
shareholders was a great national undertaking, and
would prove of the greatest public benefit, no man
would be idiot enough to deny; but he was not to at-
tempt to deceive the shareholders by saying that they
would in a short time divide either 7,8, 9, or 10 per
cent. Perhaps he ought to have reversed his figures,
and began with 10, going down to 5 or 4; but he would
assure the shareholders, who would perhaps read if they
did not hear what he said, that as tar as he was indivi-
dually concerned—and he was sure he could equally
answer for those wbo were associated with him—that
there should be no fraud in the statement of the ac-
counts; what the line cost the world should know—
what the line earned the shareholders should be ac-
quainted with.—(Cheers.) What were the prospects of
me line, parties must judge for themselves ; but
as the directors had begun so would they go on—
" Honesty and integrity" being their motto.—(Hear,
hear.) While at the helm they would do the best they
possibly could to protect the pockets of the shareholders
and secure them as good a return as they could, accord-
ing to the circumstances of the time.—(Hear, hear.)
He would not attempt to deceive them by saying that
they would not have a very vigorous competition to con-
tend with—he would not on that sth of August call it
an opposition—opposition had proved fruitless, and had
gone by.—(Cheers.) They had fought with opposition •
for five or six years, and had defeated it, month after
month, and year after year; and they were approaching
steadily to the accomplishment of an undertaking which
it had been the will and pleasure of the shareholders to
subscribe for; and he looked forward with confidence to
their having, in a comparatively short time, their line
in every respect completed between London and York.—
(Cheers.) That was their original undertaking—that
they had in part perf armed, and that they would under-
take to complete.—(Renewed cheers.)
The health ot " The Deputy-Chairman. Mr. Parke,"
was then drunk and duly acknowledged; after which
The CHAIRMAN then said, that having drunk the
heal;hs of the shareholders, the contractors, and the
directors, there was another important body to be con-
sidered, viz.. those who had constructed the line.—
(Cheers.) Looking on as a stranger at the construction
of ocher lines, and having his eye also on theirs, he was
bound to say that, taking the navvies as a body, they
had set an example to the labouring population of the
kingdom which did them the greatest possible honour.
He therefore proposed their healths, and, if it could
have been accomplished, he would have been happy hal
they been present on that convivial occasion.—(Cheers.)
The conduct of the navvies convinced him that the la-
bouring classes of the kingdom, if kindly and fairly dealt
with, were as sound props of the monarchy as any of her
Majesty's subjects. They wanted nothing on the part of
their superiors but kindness, and a fair day's wages for a
hard day's work.—(Cheers.) They were fairly entitled to
this, and he was thoroughly convinced that when they
were well treated they would be the guardians of social
order. If he happened, as a magistrate, to be called on
to quell a riot, he would swear in the navvies as special
constables —(Cheers.) He knew that he should not call
on them in vain to keep order. But what he said of the
navvies he was sure was true of the whole labouring
population of this mighty nation, if the higher orders
would only treat them with respect and kindness.—
(Hear.) They were loyal to the back bone, and they
were conservative in their principles, and if on any oc-
casion the throne was in danger, the bodies of men on
whom they would have to depend throughout the king-
dom, if they only did their duty to them, were the la-
bouring population.—(Cheers.) He never proposed a
toast for her Majesty, her Royal Consort, or the great
authorities of the titate with more cordiality than he
now did that of the working classes.—(Cheers.)
Mr. A. 'Wigan, of Ipswich, and Mr. BRASSEY, the
contractor, as large employers, returned thanks in the
name of the labourers, and passed high encomiums on
their peaceful and loyal habits.
The party shortly after broke up, and retured to town
by the same train as they had travelled to the fete.
There were public demonstrations at the chief stations
along the line, crowds lustily cheering the train as it
passed. In some cases the stations were decorated with
figs and evergreens, and bands of music were in at-
tendance.

The excursionists arrived safely in town shortly after
nine in the evening, highly gratified with their most
agreeable trip, the enjoyments of which were greatly
enhanced by the exceeding fineness of the weather.
The arrangements of the d.,y were in every respect ex-
cellent, and no accident of any kind occurred to mar its
pleasures.
Great credit is due to Mr. Mowatt, the secretary, and
Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general manager, for their
anxious care to afford every information and comfort
throughout the thy.

NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.
A numerously attende‘l public meeting was held yes-
terday evening at the hall of the Freemasons' Tavern tor
the purpose of eb7aining the immediate rescinding of :he
recent postal arrangements stopping the delivery of let-
ters and newspapers on Sunday.
Mr. num.', M.P., took the chair, supported by Mr.
Forster, Mr. Mschinnoe, M.P., Mr. Locke, M.P.,
several gentlemen connected with the weekly press, and
some of the leading newsmen in London.
The CHAIRMAN sa;d, there was in his opinion no
question of more importance than that which affected the
rapid communication from place to place and between
man and man. In whatever view they took it, it was of
immense importance to the information and even to the
wellbeing of a large portion of the community. He re-
membered that the distance now performed in one day
took formerly two or three days, and he had no hesitti-
tiers in sayine that of all social improvements which had
taken place since he had been a public man—and that
was a long time—there was none more important than
the facilities given by the penny postage tir communi-
cation between man and man. Anything which would
interfere with that communication would deprive the
community of a great edvaetsee, and he was
sorry to say after all their lahours they had been
deprived of that advantage under a very erroneous
idea.—(Bear, hear.) This question was one of much
importance even in the educational point of view, for the
I facility of transmitting letters and newspapers had done
much to diffuse useful knowledge amongst the people,
and his could not but regrst the attsuspti which had
been made to stop Sunday newspapers and Sunday tra•
yelling of any kind. He was desirous to see the Sab•
bath properly observed, but he was also anxious to see
civil and religious liberty uphold in this country, and
when he fouud individuals laying down rules us to how
the public should conduct themselves en Sundays, he
thought that it was an encroachment open religious
liberty.—(Great cheering,.) Those who congratulated
themselves that the mails and deliveries of letters were
stopped on Sundays were ignorant of the fact that where
they had relieved ono man they had given additional
labour to ten. It was not by Act of Parliament that
the people were to be made religious—it was perfectly
ridiculous.—(Hear, bear.) lie objected to any attempt
whatever to coerce the feelings of the people on this
or any other subject. Why should not the working
man be allowed to have his Sunday newspaper
to be inf.Tmed of what was going on in the
world, of which he formed a part? He would say to
those who promoted this movement, judge as you would
be judged. The promoters of this measure were no
doubt sincere in their opinions, but men equally sincere
differed from them, and he objected to the forcing any
man's opinions, because he was not to be convinced. If
the Government undertook to carry the letters of the
people, and rendered any private person conveying a
letter liable to a penalty of .51., it surely was bound to
attend in every respect to the convenience and expressed
opinion of the majority of the public. Although he felt
warmly on this subject he would detain them no longer,
but would entreat the meeting to give a hearing to every
speaker pro and con.—(Cheers.)
Mr. MACKINNON, M.P., proposed the first resolution.
He was in the minority on this question in the House
of Commons, and he had heard that some blame had
attached iteelf to her Majesty's Ministers, and to her
Majesty herself, for having acceded to this resolu-
tion of the House of Commons. It was impossible
for the Government or for her Majesty to have done
otherwise, seeing that the resolution was carried by
a considerable majority of that House, although that
decision of the majority might be, and no doubt
was, given in an unguarded moment. He felt as
strongly as most men that the observance of the Sabbath
was commanded, and was as anxious to see that com-
mandment fulfilled. But he remembered the text, " The
Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sab-
bath." It was impossible that in a large community all
should remain quiescent; if it were to be so, society it-
self must be stagnant. It was necessary that a few should
labour, in order that the Sabbath might be observed by
the rest. This new scheme, as they had seen, had aug--
mented Sunday labour instead of diminishing it—
(Cheers)—and he need only refer to what was then going
on at Manchester to show all present that such was the
case. Under the old system much less labour was per-
formed, and therefore he had much pleasure in proposing
the resolution advocating the return to it:—
" That this meeting is se fully convinced that the
admirable system on which the Post-office was regulated
prior to the recent obnoxious restrietions, was in course
of affording all the eteccmmodatien that could be ren-
dered to the public, and with the least possible amount
of Sunday labour. That the necessity for correspond-
ence has vastly inerewei that amount of toil since the
cessation of the Sunday postal delivery ; and that the
requirements of the public call for a speedy return to the
former practice."
Mr. FORSTER, M.P., seconded the resolution. This
question was one which affected the press more than
any other portion of the community, and he hoped to see
those connected with it stand forward boldly in opposi-
tion to this new scheme.—(Hear, hear.) tie thought,
however, that the public generally wen somewhat to
blame, as it had, up to the time of the passing of this
vote, done nothing to protect itself against so injurious
a measure. This measure had been carried by a coup
de main, owing to the timidity and cowardice of many of
the Members.—(Cheers, and some hissing.) It was, no
doubt, a strong expression to use, but he would show
that he was justified in using it. Many of those Mem-
bers who had voted with Lord Ashley had since been to
him (llr. Forster), and expressed their great anxiety to
avert the consequences of the resolution come to by tho
douse of Commons. That conduct had, he must say,
rather disgusted him—(llcar, hear)—aud he hoped
that the public would no longer tolerate a measure
carried under such opinions. This measure was
proposed, not at the time when Post-office labour was at
its highest, but when it had undergone a material reitic-
tion; and the reason was simply that these people were
always on the look out for some opportunity of pushing
forward their bigotry and fanaticism.—(Great cheering.)
Let them look at the number of servants of all-work
employed on Sundays from morning till night; at the
number of omiibas drivers and conductors—about

What was the consequence of so large a popula-
tion being thus confined:, On referring to the statittica
of crime and drunkenness in that city he found that they
exceeded in amount those of almost any other place in
this country. He did not believe that such a system
was s good one, and yet it had sprpad to this country,
and it was quite time that it should be met with the op-
position of those who favoured civil and religious liberty.
—(llear, hear.) The resolution he had to move was as
followL:

" That the equal and general dissemination of.
th
early
intelligence is one of the highest results of our
in, and that the weekly newspaper, by its efforts to.
gather and furnish intelligence, renders eminent public
service, and that its transmission by the Saturday's
night post and Sunday morning's delivery is a service
by which the humble and industrious man who can read
his newspaper on the Sunday only, end all classes, are
groltly benefited, and that the means offered by such a
system are those which involve by far the least inter-
ference with the seventh day's rest, enjoyment., and
devotion."
Mr. SERLE seconded the resolution in a speech
throughout which he was frequently, applauded.
The Rev. J. KENNEDY addressed the meeting for the
purpose of proposing an amendment, on reading which
The CHAIRMAN said it was precisely the Siltlle in terms
as the resolution. which was thereupon put and carried
amidst cheers and laughter.
Mr. l'iloonE proposed and Mr. HODGSKIN seconded
the next resolution, authorising the:Chairman to sign a
petition on behalf of the steeling to the house of Com-
mons and a memorial to the Commission of Inquiry
embodying the sentiments expressed in the resolutions.
The petiion and memorial referred to were then read
by the Chairman and adopted. He said the business
for which they were called together was then settled,
but ho entreated them to hear patiently a gentlemen
near him on the platform, who wished to address them.
Mr. OAKEY then briefly addressed the meeting amidst
a storm of groans and hisses. He said it was composed
of one party, who were influenced by private and selfish
considerations.

A working man, named BROOME, complained that the
Museum, libraries, and other public places of instruction
and recreation had been closed against the working
classes on the Sabbath, which was the only day of .the
week they could afford to go to them,
The CHAIRMAN said a resolution had been put into
his hand impeaching the manner in which the meeting
had been convened; but, although ho should put the
question, he felt bound to say that after forty years'
experience of public mew inga be thought that was as
fair and as legitimate a public meeting as he had ever
attended.—(Cheers.)
The question was then put amidst general marks of
disapprobation, and cries of " Groans for the Sabba-
tariana."

Thanks were then ♦oted to the Chairman, and th•
meeting separated shortly after ton o'clock.

15,000, he believed, being employed every Sunday. In
short, he had reason to know and believe that out of the
2,000,000 persons in London at least 200,000 were em-
ployed all day on Sunday; and if this amount of labour
could not be prevented, why should they deprive the
poor, who were employed for six days in the week, of
their amusement of reading the news on Sundays? The
people had been apathetic on this matter. The Govern-
ment could nut do anything without an expression of the
sense of the people, and he advised them to hold public
meetings and to petition Parliament to endeavor to re-
move this great obstacle to the transmiision of infirma-
tion amcn;st the masses of the people.—(Cheers.) lie
cordially supported this resolution.
Dr. WEBB (of Marylebone) supported the resolution,
and attempted amidst some interruption to complain of
the conduct of Lord Ashley tows rds himself at a former
meeting. As to the people being backward in this mat-
ter he did not think that such was the case, for the sup-
porters of this measure had never dared t) take the
sense of the public in London or to call a public meeting.
They did not dare to do it.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. Dr. HEWLETT wished to move an amend-
ment to the resolution. He quite agreed with the first
part of the Hon. Chairman's speech, and he certainly
was not in favour of coercing the religious opinion of
any man; but he thought that it was far from being
proved that the general feeling of the public was
against this new arrangement. He would refer to the
case of Liverpool alone, where 15,000 persons signed a
petition in favour of the new regulation, and only 500
signed against it.—(Great uproar.) He thought that
the necessity for
,Sunday postage had been removed
in a very great degree by the great rapidity
with which intelligence was at present trans-
mitted. It was well known that a letter could be sent
from London to Edinburgh in eleven hours ; and
with these great facilities was it necessary to keep up a
sy,tena of Sunday labour?—(Hisses.) The question had
been spoken of as one which more particularly affected
the press, but he believed that the sale of Sunday news-
papers had very slightly diminished in consequence of the
regulation lately carried' out. The amendment which
he had to propose was as follows:
" That the advantages of a weekly day of rest, whether
considered physically, socially, or morally, are far beyond
any trifling convenience that may be obtained by its
infringement, and thus as an opportuuity has offered of
relieving a large number of the iudustrious classes by the
recent postal arrangement from unnecessary labour on
the Sunday, this meeting conceives it hikbly, desirable
that the alterations in the Post-office department should
have a full and fair trial."
(" Oh, oh!" and uproar.)
Loan seconded the amendment amidst much

on Tuesday next.

COURT CIRCULAR.

OSBOKNE, MONDAY.

The resolution and amendment were then put from
the chair, when the former was carried by en immense
majority.
Mr- LOCICE, M.P., moved the second resolution. It
had been urged that some sacrifice was necessary on the
part,of the public to ensure an observance of the Sabbath ,
and there was to a certain extent reason in the argu-
ment. He believed that the public and the working
m''ll in this country were ready to make some sacrifice,
but not to the serious extent at present required. Was
there a manufactory in the country which did not in
some shape require Sanday labour? In many large
manufactories ateam-engines were used, and if these
were broken or out of order it often happened that
hundreds of men were thrown out of work until they
were repaired. It was the custom, therefore, in most
factories to perform the required repairs on a Sunday,
in order that many hard-working men might not be the
losers of their time and wages. 'They spoke of the feel- '
inks of those who were compelled to work in the Post-
nee—did they not by their labour spare the labour
of thousands? Did they think that the engine driver
or stoker, who worked on Sundays at the engine,
which carried five hundred or six hundred of his
f''ilow men, their wives and children, to Richmond,
Windsor, or elsewhere, grudged his labour on that day?
Did he not rather feel pride that his labour was the
means of giving' leisure and enjoyment to so many of his
rellow-creatures? He had observed at Edinburgh, where
the system ayate
of Sabbath observance was carried out to its
fullest extent, the objection to the running of railway
trains on Sundays; and yet on one Sunday be had tound
that while five cabs were sufficient to carry away the pas-
stingers who had arrived at the station, it took 179 cabs
to carry away the congregations of four meeting-houses
which stood in the same etreet. To do the Edinburgh
people justice, however, this fact, when it became known,
had caused a very great reduction in the number ot cab-
drivers employed on Sundays.—(Hear) In Glasgow,
with a population of 300,000, a cay the largest but one
in the empire, with a beautiful river,
leading to beautiful
scenery, not a steam-boat was allowed to ply or a steam-
engine to run. The Botanical-gardens were closed on
that day, and about a fortnight since the proprietor
of the land had made a law, which prevented any per-
sons, from -ascending Ben Nevis, (the most beautiful
,mountain in that
Part of the countrai) on SundaYs•

The Queen and Prince, accompanied by their
illustrious visitors, took their accustomed early walk

Tne younger branches of the Royal Family walked

The Duke and Duchess of Bedford took leave of
her Majesty and his Royal Highness, and left Osborne

view with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial office.

TO SIR ALEXANDER COCKBURN, SOLICITOR-

GENERAL,
ON HIS RETIRING FROM THE WESTERN CIRCUIT.
Fain would I tell—tho' language be but weak
To breathe in numbers what the heart would speak—
Fain would I tell how alt around me here,
Thine ancient comrades, friends, companions dear,
Alen who but emulate transcendent deeds,
And gladly follow where true greatness leads
Rejoice at thy success—rejoice to see
Tho victor-palm—well won= assign'd to thee.
The wreath that decks our worthy Cockburn's brows—
Honour to each—to all—alike bestows;
Alike our bosoms own the genial glow,
That from responsive hearts must ever flow.
And yet amid our pleasure is a grief,
Whence time alone can minister relief:
The circuit courts no more that voice shall charm,
No longer shall thine oratory warm;
Which Ire m its cell eviiked the willing tear,
And could at pleasure fascinate and cheer.
When at the college that I lov'd so well,
Distinction track'd thy footsteps, all might tell
'Twas but the prelude of the opening plan—
The youth appear'd the father of the man.
Knowledge with growth has grown; thou art become
Au honour to Old England's happy home.
Saint Stephen claims thee in his proud
,domain—
A senator—a statesman—in the train
Of Fox, of Windham, bold in cause of right,
And when occasion calls, Faint in the fight.
But now it seems that faction's ruthless shame
Would work destruction on the untarnish'd name
01 a lov'd Minister, approved and true,—
Forth to the rescue gallant Cockburn flew !
In words that burn his eloquence found vent,
Home to the heart their fiirvid ♦igour went;
Behold him dealing thick his vengeful blows!
Dread and more dread the wordy conflict grows:
With dauntless charge be leads his heroes OD,—
The foe succombs; the victory is won!
Those words convinc'd; where doubt was felt before,
Persuasion bade us own %was doubt no more.
E'en now we see thee with thy task begun
The goal far distant, and the race unrun;—
The toil—tbe strife—the ardour—and the zeal—
All that the great have felt, all that they feel. •
Remain for thee—for thee's reserv'd the prizt—.
The boon our nation proNers to the wise.
May coming years abed yet a brighter ray—
More t!azzling radiance o'er life's weary way
,day glory-12.,nours—on thy path descend,
Enduring happiness thy career attend; •
And length of day, be by thy wishes crown'd,
Firm frivuds and true thine every tide surround I
And when in after-time thy name is rung,
And benedictions hallow'd by each tongue
Do sanctify thy meinur) —(pleasing thought,
With find anticipation richly fraught !)
Then shall thy fume in endless beauty bloom
ifulading lustre o'er an honour'd tomb.

LARG B IMPORTATION OF PINB APPLES.—OR
Saturday last, the La Clarata, from New Providence, ar-
rived at the St. Katherine's Docks, with no less than 3(),000
pine apples, and 600 Queen conch shells. which are used in
the making of those beautiful' cameos, some of which can
almost vie with the works of the celebrated Benvenuto
Cellini. The remainder of the cargo consisted-of rich dye
WoOds.
