Lad sight s vestry meeting wee held in the vestry room of 8 . Peers, Covettagerden, for the peep es of eoe.l sidering the propriety of petitioning parliament fora repeal of the window ten Yr. GEO. WILKINSON, churchwarden, on taking the their, observed that tb• amount of the window tax in the parish of Et. Paul was 30 per cent. on the rental, sad more thee the animist of the peer, police, and meaty rate pet I together. (Rear, bear.) This waa independent ot the evil' of the tax fa a sanitary point of view, which could not be eerily settmared. Mr. WALKER prposed the first resolution. to the offset that the window tax wee a social sad sanitary evil, and that a peddle be presented to parliament for its total, immediate. and necoodi , ional repeal. Mr. SALTER seconded the reulution, which passed enanior,uelr. Mr. DANIEL proposed the next resolution, to the 'Bret that the la: was nneqeal in its pressure; the old fashioned bowies, which were inhabited by the poorer elutes, b,img far more heavi y taxed, in proporuon to their value, than the modern built bosses, which were inhabited by the compara tively wealthy. Es meek cad been already said against this impost, sad it, little could be said in its favour, that he would not occupy their time on that ocessioss further than to observe that it seemed to be a principle with all governments not to remit a single to! till they were forced to do so. (Rear ) Mr. VERITY seconded the resolution, which passed anaMmo.saly. Other resolutions were passed, adopting a petition to pir- Earnest bra veleta of the endow me, and requesting the members for Westminster, the county womb , re, and the metropolitan members generally, to supp rt its prayer. A deputation was thee spy .inted to reprea.nt the I. elicits and Quinton. of the parish oasts at the meeting of the deputies in MarylabonaCearthoisie, and the mating separated.

IRELAND. DifLIN, Jaw. 17. Since yesterday morning it has blown a tremen dous gale from the south-west and, from the provin cial *cecina' s, it appears that boist-rocs weather has been general over the country. The sea chann.l is very high, and ali the packets are long beyond their time. The London morning mail of yesterday has not yet arriv. d. The complaints which we bear from the country of the unfavourable state of the weather are universal. There is almost incessant raie, which , has thoroughly steeped the soil in a flood of water, and prevented all out-door agricultural operations. IThe want of the fertilising effects of frost and snow, it is also feared, most prove injurious. The remoostrancee on behalf of thore depositors in the Cuffs-street Saving. Bank, whose deposits were termed illegal, have fortunately been made with good effect. The commissioners appointed to distribute the relief fund voted by parlisiient announce that the Lords of the Treasury have been pleased, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, to permit the re cognition of such claims to the extent of 2001., but no further, to any one depositor, such being the u•most legal limit of a savings bank depositor's account, and to authorise the payment of one-half of the sum found due (with the above limitation) to each depositor. The committee of the Dublin association for the abolition of the daty on paper, meet almost daily. At their meeting yesterday (Han. J. P. Veri ker in the chair) communications were real from many of the Irish members, amongst others from Viscount Nus, A. 0. Flaherty, Tureens Wthallagh, con veying assurances of their co-operation and support.) At four o'clock a deputation from the committee waited by appointment on the Lord Mayor, to pre sent to him a requisition most numerously and respectably signed, requesting his lordship to convene and preside at a public meeting, for the purpose of peti•ioning parliament for a removal of this iniarious impost. His lordship received the deputation with courtesy, assured them that it would afford him much pleasure to promote the desirable object the commit tee had in view by all the means in his power, and named Thursday, the 30 h instant, at two o'cl.ck, at the Rotunda, for holding the meeting. • MILITARY.

A numerously attended influential and enthusiastic gosling of the inbabiimis of Bah was held at the Guild hell in that city, on Tbissdsy evening, for tha purpose of resolving upon a petition to parliament for a repeal of the obsoasous and oppresses window dirks. Toe heavy msevint ot of Bah to ..he window tax, and the fact of a very large number of houses being occupied in apartments en• elusively by the poor, which were originally intended at tendons*" for the wen:bier chum., and which eonsequenili from their Ste contribute largely to the window duties, have brag canned the ohjectionable troput to be oppre•sively felt and held in racicular odious is that city. It was not sorpriqsg thets.ore to fled, u was theses* to this instance, I a mowing called to pcitio• far its repeal, crowdini by men of all parties nod shades of opinion, and of all duties in •ociety.

It was • fact worth attention, that Both paid more in the shape of win.lew tan than any city in the kingdom, with one exception ; and ie no city was ice intuition more deeply felt, from the pea number of Demons who kept lodging bonnie, and who had to pay the tam, whether their lodgings we,. let or sot. They had, however, two representatives ht parliament, who, he believed, in their h arta, ware opposed to this iniquitons tax One of them (Lord Duncan) had been its most able and eon ii iii nt oppose.st ; •id he (the mayor) sincerely hoped that doesesiio emotion would net prevent his lord ship from being peeient in parliament when the question of repeal came on Tae at: unseat w.s so mends nn one side when the question was last discussed, that the minister sell be entiLl not °Ohms the motion by argument, hut merely beets... of • little deficiency in the revenue. The parliament, hoariest, did not exactly Bee the matter in the same way as the minister; and so small was the majority spinet the repeal, ttat he (the mayor) b lieved that h-d the other noble lord, Lord Ashley-(marks of disapproba tion)-bccked up his noble colleague as be ought, it would have been a drawn battle. Be hoped, however, that this meeting would be unanimous and firm in its explosions of desire for repo.), and that tl , e present aeitati in would lead to the a*.i.lition of the window tax-a tax hateful to the people.

The reply wee more in the character of a friendly letter than anything else, but rill he thought it bettor to read it entire. It was as talons: "M y titer Mr. Sutcliffe, Ton may safely more the citiz=s of Bath that the B iard of Health have rept , seated to the treasury in a igloos gaemorau.lum, epos maitary and poysithl ground., the amemity of getting rid of the window tax.

There was nothieg is it they could rely upon. It was fresh in his recollection when Lord Demon In that room laid before them the @abject of the Mildew tax, s - ripp..d of all irs blandishments, and told them, as he (Mr. Fidler) would tell them now, that it nattered not whether there was a surplus nveoue or not, theta: was naiad and ought have been on the statute hook. (Cheers.) He recollected that upon that occasion Lord Ashley. In refuters to a remark that had taken from a previous speaker, that light was necessary to vegetation, said distiagly—" I not only soy that light is necessary to life; but also that life cannot go on witho u t it." A a d hi s lordship added—" I will tient under the banner of the noble lied" (Lord Duncan). lied his scions squared with that premise? (Load cries of "No.") They hod not; and, thenfore, he (Mr. Faller) could place no reliance nom the letter read.
