LONDON, TUESDAY, JUN E 4, 1850.

The advocates of Sunday stagn; ition have about
as much reason to exult over the p robability of car•
rying their ideas, in regard to the Lord't Day, into
operation, as Mademoi,,elle AmARIS, has of flying to
one of the planets. It were just as absurd for the
former to dream of witnessing tt te acceptance of
their extravagant project t y the Lo .gisla.ure, simply
because of the majority obtAined by L rd ASHLEY,
in the miserably attended House, on 5 Chursday evening,
as it would be for the latte • to dry; am rf fleeting off
to the moon, because she can susve nd herself in the
air, for an instant, in the midlest of her won
(Jarful Terpsichorean movemen ti The reason
for the majority was the ;Thinness of the
attendance in Parliament ; the thinness of the
attendance was attributable to fall interest excited
among the representatives by the s-acing at Epsom;
and that predilection on the ;?eert of so many
Members for the enjoyments of the race-course,
affords of itself, a sufficient gua esntee that, when
put upon their mettle, or, in other words, when dray n
to a point by any serious movem,3x it on the part of
Lord ASHLEY and his associates, tithe Commons will
at once put a most effectual extinguisher upon the
Ssbbatarians. The obvious reasonableness of these
reflections consequently sets aside forthwith and
altogether the notion that any imp seance should be
attached to the trivial success obtained the other
evening by the Noble Lord the: representative of
Bath, a success attributable to no sympathy with his
last crochet of philanthropy, but rather to the cir-
cumstance of the superior faschations of the great
national sporting season.
Scanning the improvements recontly attempted by
Mr. ROWLAND HILL, scrutinising with the utmost
nicety the plans recently projected. under his manage-
ment, we can only detect, in the :agitation which has
been recently excited against himself, the inevitable
reward of any one who will be insane enough to make
any concessions whatever to the Sabbatarians. It is
notorious that Mr. HILL has been assailed, and abused,
and vilified as an abandoned person, irreligious in his
principles, and demoralising in his influence ; and yet,
when the scheme adopted at his suggestion by the
Postmaster-General are examined into, it only be-
comes evident that be has been striving might and
main, with his utmost possible ingenuity, to diminish
the amount of Sunday labour in the Post-office
department. Mr. HILL has not only striven
hard to effect this diminution, but he has
actually accomplished it, insomuch that from
four to five thousand subordinate officials through
out the country have been enabled to obtain
on all Sundays an amount of rest hitherto found to
be impracticable. Tne boon thus accorded to the
sticklers for a rigid observance of the Sunday eppea• s,
however, so far from exciting their gratitude, to have
merely whetted their appetite for yet further en-
croachments, to have driven them in a paroxysm of
fanatical fury upon the unfortunate gentleman who
had wakened them from their previous quietude, to
have sent them next whining in miserable deputations
to the official residence of the Prime Minister in
Downing-street, and ultimately to have impelled them
to howl forth their lugubrious demands within the
very walls of Parliament. If they imagine that
such nonsense as they utter can affect the
judgment of the British Legislature we warrant them
they will speedily find themselves to have been very
wonderfully mistaken. If they fancy that the Eng-
lish multitude are to be gulled by such manifest
humbug and hypocrisy they will receive a hint to
the contrary that will wondrously soon convince
them to the contrary. The middle of the nineteenth
century—the age of steam-engines and electric tele-
graphs—is not exactly the time in which a people
like the inhabitants of Great Britain can be expected
to bow down meekly at the behest of a gang of sanc-
timonious dreamers. Of all epochs this is surely the
very last when anything at all like retrogression
can be expected in the way of obedience
to the mandates of an extravagant super-
stition. We are coolly asked to plunge our commer-
cial relations into all kinds of embarrassing difficulties,
and to sever the means of communicat'on among our
domestic affections once every week for twenty-four

retinue of flunkies, or of driving back in equa
"pride, pomp, and circumstance," to discuss the me-

rits of a hot dinner prepared for them with great
labour and assiduity by their chef-de-cuisine. We
presume that if the Post-office clerks and other mem-
bers of that department have souls to save, so also
have cooks, and scullery-maids, and coachmen, and
ladies' pages, and all the rest of their high mighti-
nesses (beloved by THOMAS OAHLYLE), the princes
and peers of Flunkeydom. Yet these Sabbath
humbugs appear to think to thi;e,otintrary ; they
appear to imagine that to thi Tost• office officials
belongs the peculiar prerogative of preserving their
spiritual rectitude by a punctilious attention to certain
inexorable hours and certain arbitrary observancei.
Why, as was intimated" only the other evening by
one of her MaJesTr's Ministers, the affairs of the
mation, the duties of the Executive, could not by any
possibility be car vied on, or adequately performed,
without the attendance of clerks and secre-
taries on Sundays, as
well as on weekdays, in
the official chambers at Downing-street—in the
departments of the Home Secretary, the Colonial
Secretary, the Foreign Secretary, and the Chancellor
of the Exchequer. Why not insist upon the entan-
glement of the labours of the Government as well as
the embarrassment of the cost-office department ?
Why not require all domestic as well as all public
toils to cease between the Saturday and Monday ?
Why not demand the relaxation from all duties on
Sundays of soldiers and policemen ? Why not ?
Because any of these arrangements would be per.
zonally inconvenient to these Pharisees ! They would
be inconvenient to them for inasmuch as their pro-
perty and, perhaps, their lives would not then be safe
on the Lord's Day. They would be inconvenient
for inasmuch as the Sunday would be thereby ren-
dered the holiday of the burglar and the pickpocket.
But the arguments put forward by them in regard to
'the cessation of Post-office labours on all Sundays
would be infinitely more inconvenient to a vast pro.
portion of the community ! To many individuals it
would prove inevitably ruinous. To the commercial
houses at Liverpool, and Manchester, and Hull, and
Sheffield, and Birmingham, and similar localities, it
would be fraught with the most disastrous consequences,
as was briefly, but emphatically, intimated last night by

sanctimonious hypocrites, or of yielding power to
bigotry, and predominance to superstition;

We had hoped that the discussion on the principle
of the new "Savings' Bank Bill would have been lone
since completed in the House of
,Commons. We have'
already pointed out the vast importance of the subject
—an importance fully acknowledged by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, when, .with the
full sanction of his official coadjutors, he
assigned a priority to the Bill over any other Govern-
ment measure. Four months have, however, elapsed,
and but little progress has been made. We are now
in June, two-thirds of the session have been con-
sumed, and yet the Bill has not yet been read a second
time in the popular branch of the Legislature. It is
true that it was fixed for yesterday, but so many irn
portant orders were placed before it that there could have
been but little chance of its being called on. The
delay that has take❑ place will, however, if not
absolutely fatal to the measure, have one good result.
It will enable those experienced in the management
of those valuable ogablishments to consider the ques-
tion coolly and dispassionately, without being biassed
or prejudiced by the extraordinary frauds that have
been brought to light, not only in Ireland, but at
Rochdale, Aylesbury, St. Helen's, Scarborough, and
Hull; and also to record their opinions on the
various details of the measure brought forward by Sir
CHARLES WOOD.

We readily admit that there are many valuable
features in the new Bill. If it be desirable to foster
a spirit of forethought and self-denial among the
working classes, and to induce them, when in full
work to lay aside a portion of their earnings as pro-
vision for a more unfavourable season, it is essential
that full security for the amount of deposits should
be given, and that they should no longer be de-
prived of their property through the dis-
honesty of fraudulent officials, encouraged by the
negligence and apathy of irresponsible trustees. The
Government guarantee, in place of being merely
nominal, and applying only to the sums actually in-
vested with the Commissioners for the Reduction of
the National Debt, should affect every farthing
lodged with the recognised officers of these institu-
joys, in accordance with certain plain and simple
rules, which should he extensively circulated among
the labouring population and distinctly brought under
the notice of every individual depositor. If ordinary
precautions be taken, such as are at this moment en-
forced in the great majority of savings' banks
throughout the kingdom, frauds will be rendered
almost impossible, or, if attempted, will be speedily
discovered, and adequate punishment inflicted on the
guilty parties. It was the undue confidence reposed
in LYNCH of Tralee, in Dune of Killarney, and in
HewouTu of Rochdale, that enabled these delinquents
to carry on their nefarious depredations through
so many years without suspicion being excited, or
exposure being rendered inevitable. No real or effi-
cient control was maintained; the statements of the
pa •
rtiss were received without examination-, although
there were matters appearing on the very face of the
accounts that should have led to immediate investiga-
tion. For instance, at Tralee, LYNCH reported to
the Commissioners in November, 1847, that the then
liabilities of the bank amounted to 5,1301.
4s. 61., du,3 upon 280 accounts, whereas,
at that very time, the liabilities exceeded 40,0001.,
on no less thin 1,100 open accounts. How could
such statements have passed with any persons at all
acquainted with the district, and disposed to take
the slightest trouble in the performance of the
honourable trust confided to their hands ? But even
this was not all : glaring inaccuracies on the very
face of the accounts were vouched as correct by two
trustees, and sanctioned by the Commissioners. For in-
stance, in 1844, four years before the discovery, it was
reported by LYNCH, that there was 2,4091. due to
twenty-six depositors of more than 1001. Similar
mistakes were made in the years 1845, 1846, and
1847. Indeed, in the last mentioned year, according
to his own showing, there must have been errors ex-
ceeding 4,0001., or nearly equal to the nominal liabi-
lities of the concern ; and yet the palpably erroneous
statement was never questioned by the vigilant
trustees, who were supposed to have perused
it before certifying as to its accuracy,
or by the parties in the National Debt office, whose
duty it was to examine these accounts. In every one
of the frauds that have been brought to light an
independt nt and searching audit, and a periodical
comparison of the books of the individual depositors
with those of the establishment, by parties uncon-
nected with the officers, would have led to an imme-
diate exposure, and if the measure now before the
House ensured these desiderata, together with giving
real Government security, it would fully meet the
necessity cf the case and the wishes of the country.
But Sir CHARLES WOOD could not be satisfied
with a plain and straightforward proceeding. In
every case he has an eye to the profits to the public
exchequer, he does not see why the savings of the
less wealthy classes should not produce some addi-
tional funds to his department. His first object,
then, is to reduce the rates of interest allowed by
Government from 31. ss. to 31. per annum, or, in
other words, to gain one-quarter per cent. per annum
from each depositor, which, on the 30,000,0001.
sterling invested on account of savings' banks, will
amount to 75,000/. per annum. This is to supply a
loss of some 20,0001. or 30,0001. a year, now sus-
tained, or alleged to be sustained, by the Government ;
but it will manirestly be more than sufficient for the
purpose. This impolitic reduction will induce many
persons, who look for good interest as well as good
security, to withdraw their deposits, more especially
as the expenses of management will be considerably
increased in consequence of the limitation of depo-
sits, which is henceforward to be stringently
enforced. The rate that can be allowed
will, therefore, be much lower than can be
obtained in the public funds, or on the more valid
securities.„ But as the administration of cheap :jute
tice is regarded as a proper source of revenue
by
our presentexcellent Minister of Finance, he in like
manner considers a profit of- 50,0001. per annum as
sufficient to justify him in inflicting a heavy blow
and great discouragement on the national habits of
providence and self-control. Will the public sup-
port him in this opinion ? We hope and believe that,
they will not.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL, and Jus-
tices PATTER N, WIGHTMAN, and ERLE.)
The Court at its sitting this morning gave judgment
in the following cases:—
DOE DEM. HUBBARD v. HUBBARD.
The question in this case turned upon the construc-
tion of a dative in the will of one Thomas Hubbard, in
which he said—"l hereby give to my son, David Hub-
bard, those two cottages or tenements, together with
the appurtenances thereunto belonging, the one occupied
by my son, John Hubbard, and the other occupied by
my grand-daugh:er, Elizabeth." The premises so occu-
pied by those two persons appeared to have been occu-
pied for years in severalty by them, having been parti-
tioned off from what originally constituted two larger
cottages, and divided into Live residences.
Lord CAMPBELL was of opinion that the language in
the testator's will appeared to be insufficient to carry
the premises sought to be recovered in this action from
the heir-at•law. He conceived there might be two
cottages under the same roof, divided from each other
by an internal partition. He was of opinion that the rule
in this ca'e should be discharged.
Mr. Justice PATTESON was also of opinion that the
rule should be discharged. The words in the will were
to be taken in their popular and familiar ssnse. The two
original cottages had certainly been divided into five
residences. He could not see why each of those
live residences might not be properly described as .a cot-
tage or tenement.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN concurred, and
Mr. Justice ERLE dissented.
The rule for a new trial was therefore discharged.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Slangs at Nia Prius, before Mr. Jul,tiao WILLIAMS

IWNTSER v. TOLLNS.

This was an action for the illegal se'zure of goofs
under a distress warrant. It appeared that a number of
volumes, amountieg in value to snore than 2001., were
sent by the plaintiff to the shop of Mr. F. Bohu, bnok-
seller, of Great Qeeeu-street, part to be sold by him on
commission, and Lae remainder to be bound and cleaned
tor the plaiwitr, the whole of which were seized by the
da,,uclant, the landlord of Mr. 13,.L1an, under a distress
for rent, along with the other stock the on the premises.
It was contended on the part of the plaintiff that there
volumes were not I, gaily liable to be seized under such
circumstances, and it was to try this point that the ac-
tion was raised.

The July, under the direction cf his LORDSHIP, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, with the nominal da-
mages of 2001., subject to the decision of the Alaster on
this point.

(13,:fore Mr. Justice WictrmAN.)
QUEEN V. COOKSEY.
Mr. HoDGE applied to the Court for a certiorari to re-
move the indieturtnt in this ease from the Bath sessions
into the Queen'a Bench. The defendant bad been in-
dicted for committing a nuisance in the High-strew-,
Bath, where the ancient market of that city is held, by
e:ecting and keeping a greengrocer's stall there. The
corporation of BL:th have ordered the market to be re-
moved to a more convenient part ef the town; but the
present eefendant and others disputed their right to
make that order, and hence arose the indictment.
Application granted.

PRENCLT PLAYS.—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.---His
Excellpncy General Jung liahadoor Koowur Ranajee and
the other members of the Nepanlese mission honoured thi3
thectre with their presence last evening. They were the
object of intense curiosity during the evening, as much from
their earnest attention to, and apparent interest in, the
business of the stage, as for the dazzling gorgeousness of
their costume.

Ma. G. BARKER'S CONCERT. —Mr. George Barker
gave a concert last evening at the Princess's Theatre The
programme presented a very long list of vocal and instru-
mental performers, too numerous for special mention. The
vocalists \yore Mdlle. Nan, Miss Lucombe, Miss Loui,a
Pyne, Miss Poole, Signora Bongioanni, Mettle. A. F,Nanti
(her first appearance), Miss A. Romer, Miss Ransford,
Madame Mactarren, Mrs. Weiss, Mi,s Kenneth, Miss Law
(a pupil of the Academy, of much promise, who made her
first appearance), Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. W. Harrison, Mr.
Travers, Mr. H. Drayton, &c., &c. The instrumentalists
were M. de Kontski, Mad,:me Goffrie, and Mr. Grattan
Cooke. Miss Law was announced as a pupil of the Royal
Academy, hut she is now, we believe, under the tuition of
Mr. Barker. Her voice is a mezzo soprano of much sweet-
ness and flexibility, and is well cultivated ; we doubt not
but that she will attain a high rank in her profession. The
vcice of Miss A. Favanti is a fine rich, mellow soprano, and
she uses it most effectively.
Mere art perverts taste, just as mere theology de-
praves religion. -cook's Journal.
