SUNDAY IN ENGLAND.

The "Sunday Bands" have been stopped by Lord Palmerston, ostensibly in compliance with a strong letter written to him on the subject by the Archbishop of Canterbury; but really, so they say, because the Scotch members threatened to abandon him, if he did not put an end to an innovation so utterly obnoxious to Presbyterian Scotland. Lord Palmerston, while yielding, however, keeps one foot on the other side of the fence, by declaring that it is against the convictions of his own judgment. There is great rejoicing among all the friends of the "English Sunday," on account of this result.
