SUNDAY SHUTTING-UP.

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SPECTATOR.

Ludgate 11111. 17th March 18,10. SIR—Can you inform me why roar friends the Whig Ministry shut up the Strand on Sundays, by a Whitehall ukase ? It was open to us during the people-oppressing days of Toryism. This is a phrase ; but the power of passing unimpeded along oar old highways, is a right and a reality. They will vet find the imprisomnent of a couple of Sheriffs a safer experinwnt than confining an irritated and overwrought million. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, A MAN WITH ONE DAY.
