LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1850.

The chosen representatives of the people will, this
evening, be enabled to give expression to their delibe-
rate opinions with respect to the recent illegal and
impolitic Postal regulations, prohibiting the delivery
of letters and newspapers on Sundays throughout
the entire country. It will be utterly impossible to
shirk or evade the question ; they must be prepared
to select the banners under which they will serve, to
take one side or other in the contest about
to take place. The puritanical faction are striving
to desecrate .the Sabbath, by changing it from " a
day of rest, of innocent enjoyment and tranquil
happiness, to one of gloom and seclusion—of Pha-
risaical observances and ascetic formality ;" while
their opponents, believing that " the Sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the Sabbath," would
afford the greatest liberty to all, and obtain " the
greatest good for the greatest number." The
religion of the one is mere form. It is
that of the hypocrites, " who strain at gnats and
swallow camels," while that of the other is of the
hart, in the true spirit of Christianity, desiring the
happiness of all mankind.
The former decision was obtained by surprise. The
Agnewites, " wise in their generation," had evinced
considerable cunning in the opportunity which
they selected for their insidious attempt. The
House had adjourned over " the Derby
day," in order to enable Members to attend
" the national fete," as it has been well termed.
The majority of those who might be expected to offer
-the most strenuous opposition to the motion had not
returned to the performance of their Parliamentary,
duties: Some degree of rest and quietness was ne-
cessary after the excitement of the consummated
Derby and the approaching Oaks. The friends of
Voltigeur were rejoicing in their gains, his
opponents, hoping to retrieve their losses.
None supposed that their absence could have produced
a result so extraordinary. The Sabbatarians, how-
ever, mustered in extraordinary numbers. None of
the sanctimonious clique were found wanting, and
they received unexpected support from many, who
voted in support of the motion from mere want of
thought, or a desire to obtain a character for sanctity
at a cheap and easy rate, or, more probably, from a
wish to damage her MAJESTY'S Ministers.

The address to the Crown was thus carried. None
supposed that it would have been so speedily acted on,
or that such prompt and willing obedience would
have been yielded by those who must have been well
aware of the impolicy and illegality of the required
change. To the surprise and astonishment of all, no
less of those who voted in the majority than of the
parties through whose negligence and apathy the pro-
position obtained a temporary success, her MAJESTY'S
advisers recommended 'their toyal Mistress to carry
the crude suggestion into immediate execution. It
was done. Barely three weeks have elapsed since the
new regulation came into operation, and already
complaints, both loud and deep, are poured forth from
every district. There is no locality throughout the
length and breadth of the land where some
of the inhabitants have not sustained serious
inconvenience and annoyance from the novel
obstructions offered to the dissemination of
intelligence. Some labour under the deepest anxiety
respecting the condition of dear friends or relatives,
whose fate may be trembling in the balance ; others,
perhaps, may have some matter of considerable tem-
poral interest, by which their future fortunes may be
seriously prejudiced. Neither can compose their
minds to a fitting state for attending to devo-
tional exercises, or offering to their CREATOR
the tribute of praise and thanksgiving.
Many others, although not so deeply af-
fected, are yet irritated at being deprived of their
accustomed indulgence in the shape of their weekly
journal, to which they have been in the habit of
looking for a condensed summary of all matters of
local or general interest on the only day when they
have leisure time to devote to its perusal ; while
many thousands, who previously enjoyed ex-
emption from labour through the organized
and well-disciplined exertions of the Post-
office subordinates for a few hours on
Sunday mornings, are obliged to give up their entire
time to supply the hiatus occasioned by the cessation
of that trifling labour. Even the provincial letter-
carriers
themselves are the loudest in their complaints,
because a significant hint has already been given of a
proportionate abatement of their salaries. All are
discontented, except the authors of the change, who
rejoice in the evil they have occasioned, and deprecate
any revision of the new system.
Mr. LOCKE, however, has fairly " taken the bull by
the horns." The Hon. Gentleman has taken the ini-
tiative ; he has filled the vacuum left by the un-
warrantable sloth and apathy of Ministers, and he it
is who will receive the credit and honour of the
change. He has on his side the voice of public
opinion. Justice , expediency, Christianity, alike
demand that the obnoxious rule should be rescinded.
The meeting held last night at the London
Tavern, presided over by the straightforward
and independent WILLIAM WILLIAMS, the consistent
and enthusiastic reformer, and the decisive defeat
sustained by the Sabbatarians, sufficiently show the
state of public feeling an the question, and afford a
significant warning to those who may absent them-
selves from their duties this evening. Honourable
Gentlemen will please to recollect that the feeling of
the country on the present occasion is, that " those
who are not with us are against us," and that if their
names do not appear in what we hope and believe will
be a decisive and overwhelming majority this night,
they will be reminded of it when rendering accounts
to their respective constituencies of the manner in
which they have discharged the important trusts
confided to their hands.

On Friday evening the .Hon. Member for the
North Riding of Yorkshire brought forward his
annual motion for the repeal of the malt-tax.

knowledging to the fullest extent the enormous evils
incident to that onerous and vexatious impost, in
common with almosteaot every other species of indirect
taxation,

under which he appealed to the representatives of the
people for a remission of the charge, which produces no
less a sum than 5,000,000/. sterling to the national
Exchequer. His application was not made until after
the financial arrangements for the year had been con-
cluded, until the national expenditure, and the sums
necessary for the efficient maintenance of our naval,
military, and civil establishments had been sanctioned
in the popular branch of the Legislature, and the ne-
cessary credits voted. The surrender of 5,000,000/.
sterling, under such circumstances, must in some de-
gree endanger the national credit and the faith that
must be observed with the public creditor. It is
true that Mr. CAYLEY did not propose that the tax
should be forthwith abolished. Lie did not desire that
his contemplated Bill should come into operation
until the sth of April next; but it must be obvious
that if it were now passed, and that the trade were
certain that the duty would be altogether abandoned
from and after the period in question, the stocks in
hand would be worked out, and" comparatively little,
if any, new malt would be made during the ensuing
season. All persons would avoid the risk of having
any stock, either of malt or beer, beyond that re-
quired for immediate use. The consequences, there-
fore, in the first instance and during the interval
"1114 b. 01317 to the II:WM Who Would'

have no present demand for their barley, and to the '
maltsters and brewers throughout the United King-
dom, whose establishments would be closed and
labourers discharged until they could resume opera-
tions with a fair prospect of profit. It is impossible
to calculate the loss and misery that would arise from
this source, from the enactment, at an exceedingly in-
convenient and ill-chosen time, of what might other-
wise prove a salutary measure.
But there was another cause, which operated no
less powerfully against Mr. CAYLEY'S proposition,
and which induced many enthusiastic and consistent
fiscal reformers to support the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer in his opposition thereto. The Hon. Gentle-
man did not ask for a general revision of our fiscal
system—he left the most glaring evils, the most in-
tolerable grievances, still untouched ; he brought it
forward as a class measure, for the benefit of a par-
ticular body. Its success would have prevented the
possibility of the remission of the taxes on light and
air, on education, knowledge, and cleanliness, on in-
tercourse and employment, on marine and fire insur-
ances, on railway passenger traffic, on carriages, hops,
post horses, and a variety of other imposts not less
objectionable in their character or oppressive in their
collection. It would have rendered permanent the
tea duties on the present impolitic and inequitable
scale, withheld from the struggling sempstress the re-
lief to which she is so justly entitled, on her only
luxury, an article which has become almost a necessary
of life, and would practically prohibit any material
extension of our commercial relations with China.
All these untoward results would be produced by the
abolition of the malt-tax, taken per se, and without
being part of a large and comprehensive measure t f
fiscal amelioration, that would place the entire taxa
tion of the country on a new basis and substitute a
direct charge upon every description of accumulated
and realised property for the present unjust, unequal,
and oppressive system.
If Mr. CAYLEY be really anxious to remove the
evil of which he drew so lively a picture on Friday
evening, and we are fully convinced of his sincerity,
let him again bring forward his proposition at the
very commencement of the session ; let him not post-
pone his just complaints until its very conclusion,
when it would be too late..to hope for any practical
legislation on the subject. Above all, let him not re-
strict himself to a single grievance, or seek to afford
relief to a single class. Let his benevolence be uni-
versal, and his motives be placed beyond the possibi-
lity of doubt or suspicion. Let him demand geperal
inquiry into all the taxes that press unduly upon
industry, with a view to their remission and the substi-
tution of others, which will be at once more just
and equitable, more politic and expedient. If he
adopt this straightforward and statesmanlike course
we promise him that he will obtain the support of
many enthusiastic reformers, which was withheld on
Friday last; and, what is still more valuable, that he
will carry with him the prayers and sympathies of the
people. The voice of public opinion will speak
trumpet-tongued in his favour—the power of " the
many," in its irresistible and mighty strength, will
be arrayed on his side—and be will attain a tri-
umphant victory , a success surpassing even his most
sanguine anticipations.

We refer our readers to our advertising columns,
where a notice will be found of a public meeting,
convened for the purpose of marking by a suitable
testimonial the services rendered to sanitary reform
by GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, Esq., the gentleman
who has so manfully brought about the ABOLITION
OF INTERMENTS in towns and cities. We have from
time to time laid before our readers the urgency of
watching the progress.of the Bill to regulate inter-
ments whilst in its different stages through Parlia-
ment, and have remarked upon the clauses of the
measure, which is now about being passed into a law
The medical profession, of which Mr. G. A.
WALKER is a member, ought to be proud that one of
that profession has rendered to the community at
large so lasting a benefit as that of the Abolition of
Interments in towns and cities.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Journal des Dibats gives the fullowing parti-
culars relating to WALKER, the would-be assasiin of
Louis NAPOLEON :

" On Friday, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the
police agents on duty in the neighbourhood of the Pa-
lace of the Ely:6 Rue du Faubourg St. Honors, re-
marked a young man of 17 or 18 years of age, whose
pre-occupied air, his marches and counter-marches, in-
spired them with suspicion, and induced them not to
lose sight of him. A few instants afterwards a carriage,
in which were Colonel Vaudrey and some other gen-
tlemen, having left the court of the Elysi3, the person
in question approached rapidly, and endeavoured to
recognise the persona in the carriage, at the same
time making a sharp movement with his right
hand, as if searching for seme weapon under his
coat, but immediately on being perceived he made a re-
trograde movement, and allowed the carriage to pass.
One of the agents who was a witness of this manceuvre,
no lot.ger doubting that this young man was there for
the purpose of executing some criminal project, ap-
proached him immediately to question him and to secure
his person. The suspected pt-rson, on seeing the agent
approach, went up to him, and, without giving him time
to interrogate or put any question, said, You are an
employe ?' On the.affirmative reply of tke agent, he
added,' That is unlucky; but it does not signify. I must
admit that I have come for the purpose of killing the
President of the Republic.' That declaration, made
without hesitation, and with great sang froid, was fol-
lowed by the arrest of the young man, who was con-
ducted to the office of the commissary of police of the
palace, where, on being searched, it was found that
he was the bearer of a pistol, which was primed and
loaded.

" On being interrogated by the Commissary of Police,
be declare 1 that his name was George Alfred Walker,
aged 17 years, an apprentice compositor in the printing-
office of M. Briire, and living with his parents at 3, Rue
Cherubini. He Wed that he had for a long time past
conceived the project of assassinating the President of
the R-public, and that for that purpose he bad taken the
pistol found in his possession from one of his friends,
without his knowledge, and that he had got it loaded on
Wednesday evening at the shop of M. Lefaucheux, a
gunmakor in the Rue de la Bourse. He maintained that he
had no accomplice, and that he had never told any one of
his criminal project. On being interrogated as to the
motives which had led him to attempt such an action, he
replied nearly in the following terms :---‘ It is dissipation,
it is misfortune that has driven me to this crime. I
have for a long time had the idea of committing
it ; it was with me a fixed idea, a fever, hallucina-
tion. I have often had dreams which pursued me
in my sleep, but fate seemed to take pains to protect the
President of the Republic. To-day two carriages left
the Elyria, neither of which contained the person for
whom I was waiting. I then thought myself vanquished
by fate. I thought that it was not in the destiny of the
President of the Republic to die assassinated; and in
my impatience to struggle against destiny I surrendered
myself in order to disembarrass myself of the thoughts
which oppressed me. When the first carriage passed,
I had already cocked my pistol under my redingote.'
" Walker added that he had frequented the most rabid
clubs and political unions. A search made at his
residence, is his father's house, produced no result.
We must add that his family, composed of father,
mother, and four other children, of whom he is the
eldest, enjoys the best reputation for probity and
morality, and is loved and esteemed by all the per-
sons who know it. The father is so seriously ill
at the present moment that his life is despaired of.
Forgetting the good example which he received from
his family, and disdaining the honest reputation which
it had justly gained, the young Walker has been no-
ticed for a long time as a bad subject; he was re-
proached with having none but disreputable acquaint-
ances, and with giving himself up to debauchery, which
appears to have altered his reason. He has been al-
ready condemned to two months' imprisonment by the
correctional police of the Seine. His condemnation is
dated the 12th of February last, and was on account
of the following fact:—On the 21st of January of the
present year, about four o'clock P. 31., he was in the
Passage Joufroy Boulevart Montmartre, where, after
having made some disturbance, he drew out a double-
barrelled pistol, loaded with ball, and threatened to blow
out the brains of the passengers. The police having
seized upon him, he was disarmed, and carried to the
police•office after a violent resistance.
" On Saturday Walker was brought before the Pre-
fect of Police, and interrogated on the different circum-
stances of his intended attack on the President. He
replied with the same coolness that he had shown on his
previous examination, and the result of his answers is
that the authorities considered him deranged. A little

the prefect placed him at his disposal. The judicial
the same doubts as the Prefect as to his sanity.
A me-
dical man has been instructed to give in a report on his
case. In short, up to the present time allthe probabili-
ties are that the reason of this unfortunate man is de-
ranged by frequenting infamous society, by his bad com-
panions, and especially by political and anarchical ex-
citement.
It appears that Walker has been always ccnsidered
by the men at BriAre's as weak of intellect. Last year,
after some dispute with some of his fellow compositors,
daring which he displayed extraordinary violence, he
went out, as he afterwards narrated, for the purpose of
committing suicide. He procured a pair of pistols, and,
charging them, entered a bath, determined to put an

courage np to the proper point, he left the bath and
thought fit to live. Shortly after, he desired to list in
the Foreign Legion doing duty in Algeria, but was re-
fused from being under size. Within the year he sud-
denly shot up to the height of five feet ten or eleven
inches, and again presented himself, but was refused,
from being so weak and thin in appearance, as not to
give promise of sufficient stamina to bear the fatigue of
a soldier's life."

The Siecle declares that the sailing of the Russian
fleet for Cronstadt has nothing of a political charac-
ter ; it is merely for the sake of going through its
annual evolutions that it has gone to sea.
The Pouvoir says—
_

" It was positively stated yesterday, that in conse-
quence of the unanimous protestations of the moderate
press, several Members of the majority would demand
from the Assembly the adjournment of the discussion on
the Bill on the press until after the prorogation. The
Ministry will not, it is thought, be averse to consent t.)
this delay, which, moreover, would follow as a matter cif
course, if the law on the mayors be discussed."
The Credit, in allusion to LEDRU ROLLIN'S letter
in the Proscrit, proposing "to conduct a rebellion
from London," reminds the chief of the Reds that he
is imitating the Emigres, instead of copying the tradi-
tions of the Mountain.

On Sunday there was a balloon ascent from the
Champ de Mars, the aeronaut being mounted on a
horse, which was slung from the balloon.
The Assembly yesterday voted urgency on the law
:elating to the stamp and caution money of news-
papers, by a majority of 368 to 251.
