METROPOLITAN PROTESTS AGAINST PURITANISM . Lom > ozr is beginning to stir against the tyrannical suppression of the Sunday bands in the parks . A meeting of-the inhabitants of St . Pancras was held on Monday in the Vestry Hall , when Mr . W . D . Cooper having been voted to the chair , a letter from Mr . Dickens , declining to attend , was read . It ran thus : — . " Gentlemen , —I have received a latter signed by you ( which I assume to be written mainly on behalf of what are called working men and their families ) inviting me to attend a meeting in . our parish Vestry Hall this
evening , on the stoppage of Che Sunday : bands in the parks . I thoroughly agree with you that those bands have afforded an innocent and healthful enjoyment on the Sunday afternoon to which the people have a right . But I think it essential that tlie ; working people should of themselves , and by themselves , assert that right . They have been informed on the high authority of their first minister , ( lately rather in want of House of Commooa votes , I am told ) that they . are almost indifferent to it . The . correction Of that mistake—if- official omniscience can be mistaken—lies with themselves . In caae it
should be considered by the meeting ( which I prefer for this reason notrto attetid ) ie * p « dteht ttf unite with other metropolitan parishes informing , a Jfuud'for . the payment of , such , expenses aa maybe incurred in peaceably and numerously , roprcsan ting , to the governing powers tbat the ( harmless recreation they have . taken away is very much , 'wanted , I beg you to put . my name down as a subscriber often pounds , and I am your faithful servant , , , . , , \\ ClIABt .

his constituents have said had he been so hypocritical as to affirm that that was right in Kensington Gardens which was wrong in Victoria and Regent ' s Parks ?

AUSTRIA . The promotion of Baron do Htlbner to the rank of Austrian Ambassador at Paris , and the bestowal of the same honour upon Baron do Bourqueney , the French representative at Vienna , is looked upon as a sign of extraordinary good-will between the respective courts . An Ambassador is supposed to represent the person of the sovereign himself , rather than of his government , and may therefore communicate immediately with the monarch , to whom he- is accredited , instead of with .,, the Minister for Foreign Affairs , as in the case of inferior diplomatic representatives . Since 18 ^ , Austria has resolved to send no more Ambassadors in full to any court ; but she has made an exception in , favour , of France . . ., ,, . .. . .. , r
