Mr. Bruce produced on Monday his new Park Rules over-

riding Mr. Ayrton's. No address is to be delivered, except in the part of Hyde Park "which is bounded by the horse-road running from the Marble Arch to Victoria Gate, and thence to the powder magazine, and by the carriage-drive running from the powder magazine along the Serpentine to Hyde Park Corner, and thence to the Marble Arch ;" no road is to be obstructed, and no unlawful address is to be delivered. But the rules are tainted by the old difficulty of incomplete- ness. Those who want to keep the parks for enjoy- ment do not care about boundaries. They do not want the rneetingers at all. As to unlawful addresses, who is to tell that an address is unlawful till it has been delivered, and why is an unlawful address more punishable in a Park than aLywhere else ? What is wanted, if anything, is a law that no meeting shall be held in a Park without the consent of the Home Secretary. It 'would take artillery to enforce that, but it is the only rule of any use.
