Yesterday evening a complimentary dinner was gives, at the Vreeniasone' Tavern, by the electors of Finsbury to Sir Morton Peito, M.P., to celebrate his return foe that borough; Mr. Roo= CcNLIFFE, waa in the chair, sup ported by Mr. T.

Spicer, Mr. Seijeent Bollantyne, Mr. Tindal Atkinson, and about 200 of the moat indasellal electors of the borough. After the usual loyal and patriotic WYSS had been duly honoured the CH A IHICA N proposed the health of Sir Morton Peto, and stated that he should not stand before that com pany In the character which he then held If he did nut convelentiouily bolters that Sir Morton Pato was the right man is the right place. He draw en elaborate Facture of the career of Sir /dates Polo, pointing out that the electors of the country ought to be thankful that men of his deic:ription were nesters of the House of Commons. He believed that he was worthy of the constituency, and that they had done themselves honour in selecting his. as their represettative. Sir MORTON Pero, who we. received with great ap plause and the utmost cordiality, stemmed hie inability to give expression for the kindnees which had been ehown to him. his stated thnt he had been requested to offer himself I as a candidate for Finsbury two or three yearn ago, end he wee told that his candidature would be received by the borough with pleasure and satisfaction. He was not then in a position to avail himself of the offer which was made to him ; but on the second occasion that a similar otter was made to bias he felt himself to be in a condition to accept so gratifying a testimony of the good opinion of so large and tefluentisl a constitorni y. He had resolved to do his duty to that constituency to toe beat of his ability ehould he be elected; end he found that, although it was stated to him that however strong he might be in Islington he would fail in Clerkenwell, in this latter district he had as many true and active friends as in the other. Ater some further allu sions to local t Tice Sir Merton Peto dwelt for a time on the tort that peace had been proclaimed in Europe, and ex pressed hie bell, f that It was a subject of lejoicing whatever mlight he the teems cat which it was concluded. Iteferring case men to his ecesexion with the borough of Fiesbary, he said that the first act of hie poli ties! lib was that of cenvamiog for Mr. Thomas Duni:mobs roma 26 years ago, end he could not express hie pleasure at tiediog himself at length the colleague of that hon. gentleman. He was opine sure that nothing would he wactieg in hia colleague sad himself in doing their duty to their constituents, and he again expressed his deep gratitude fnr his taring been chosen aa the representative is parlia ment of such a come it uency, end his high sense of the coin timent which had bean pod to hiss in theoelebeaties of that :1e• t mat of "The House of COMMIS" having been pro gated by Mr. Seriemit Bellantute. wee responded to by Mr. T.

INSPECTION OP ZACITIJUSIL A deputation from the factory operatives of the annufacturleg diarict of Lance-hire bad an interview with Sir 0. C. Lewis, on Teanday, at its Home-office, on the subject of more 'Molest isepertion of lecterns. The de notation conseted of Moos. Thomas Maudaley and P. Uraut, of Manchester, and were accompanied by the Eder' of Shaftesbury, Messrs. Linsley, M.P., J. A. Turner, M.P., the Hon. A, Egerton, M.P., J. Cobbett, M.P., sad W. J. Legit, M.P. Mr. BACLOY, in introducing the deputation, said, that he was glad to Sail that their object was not to mak fur new legislation, but simply to ask the Home Secretary to affird the means of more efficient inspection in order to put down violations of the law which no doubt prevailed is many of the out districts. So far as that wee concerned he fully con coned with the TWOS of the deputation, end hoped that the Home Secretary would give his attention to what would be said on the subject. He also said that there never wea • tints at which ouch a good feeling existed between master sad mac, end he believed that • large number of the e toployers of labour were meiotic that the provinces of the present bill should be gelidly übaerved by all c ineerned; and be added, that in teeny cases the operatives were not free from their dime of 'biome, in conniving at the violence= which were goiag on. Mr. T. Mao cater then read one of a number et memo rials on the striew, after which he said that, although three memorials suggested some new point of legislation, neither he nue those whom he represented were prove/eel to open the question again in parliament ; all that was wanted was, that the present law should be fully and fairly enforced. As re garded the violation+ of the law, be rossidered it Ma duty strusgly to impress opus the mind of the Home Secretary that they weraon the increase; he believed chiefly owing to the weal of peeper insperios, as was evidenced by theta*, that dace the removal of Mr. Graham from the Manchester district and the appointment of Mr. Coles in Ws place, the law had been much lathe obeervid. Mr. Owls raid that he quite concurred with what had been add by Um previous spieler, and that he would be no party =sew legnistion at Fewest. It wee, he behaved, the duty of as Hostrottice to KO, %bat the intentions of parlia ment ibis it pee= the sot should be fairly curried out, and tf it wens head that the Home Secretary had not ea dent pow= to sofa= the law, then, and not till then, should farther legislation be sought for. Mr. J. A. TV ON YR said that be was not prepared to ice egos heather penaliire, but se far as the carrying oat of the pesos= set was concerned he wee quits willing to lend his mestance. Mr. COB nary followed, sad observed that he did not en dray arcs with the ets of the deputetion ;be thought Vl= new legislation yea necessary, sad would not bend him self down se to Ms future course. However, es It appeared that the full earning out of the present act would bo 'stir factory to a large number of the workmen, be would fee the pretest seats= himself by urging on the Horoo.ooce the import's= of complying with the very isaiionable =gurus at the deputation.

The main object of our of the immigration into our 'Alt Indian possessions and `at part of the world. - this subject, and colonies or sur which se he had heard nothleg from that side of the home which could compete with the Impetigo of the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs only tee years ago. (ether, hear.) Yet the Fast Moister now told them that no such serious results ooald be expected. No doubt the noble lord bad felt himself in a very uncomfortable position, and had undergone a bags amount of martyrdom in going into the lobby followed by may two or three of his adherents. The noble lord now said that any difficulties attending this question might be settled in committee. Wee it to be laid down that from henceforth all difficult questions of modern polities were no longer to be settled by the deliberate voles of the Neste, that the Hoses of Commons we. no loopier to come forward after an elaborate discussion and declare its opinion, but the whole matter.wu to boleti to a eelect oommittee? (Hear, beer.) The noble lord bad ou this °erosion for the fourth time referred to the speech of a cabinet minister—a distinguished member of the late government No member of It bad attained greater seninenos not only in politic but in other branches of intelligence, but no individual bed ever yet attained es much celebrity by • single speech ; he had become a complete stock-in-trade to her Majesty's m inisters. Hs must differ from the noble lord in one respect. This was not a question of detail but of prisciple. 'Those who sappmted the len looked only to one settlement of the queet. The hon. baronet who had introduced the measure bed manfully and honestly expresied hie opinion. He was sgaiest church new, and did not want any substitutes. 'The sob% lord the Se zetary for Foreign Affairs held veey different language; acoordieg to him church rates were the British ometitution. (Ilea, hear.) If her Majesty's government were now of opinion *het church rate, ought not be done away with with ' out some substitute, they were bound not to rapport any mammas which did not offer such • substitute. If there rates were to be dome away with they were bound to offer a substitute for them. If they thought an evil existed they were bound to provide a remedy, bat the course taken by the noble lord wee not a 'titan:manlike course. If a minieter believed that an entire change wee not mammary, or deareble, but would support a bill to carry it into effect, we bout being prepared to overeat a change, he must say nothing could be more unsatisfactory, or more iajorious to the public welfare than the position now occupied by bee Majesty's government. With regard to the question itself, he wee ready to admit that its present position wee highly uneatiefactory. A measure bad been proposed by the late governineat, but be could not then enter into its merits. It was at least a sines» and anxious of let to settle the ques. tion. Were the noble lord and his colleagues prepared to come forward end adopt the principle of the bon. member for Tavistoth ? If they did, they might juatify the vote they were *bone to give. If they were ready to declare that the tax as It now stood was utterly unjust and intolerable ; if that was their belief, he could understand the position of the governmest, although they would thereby accepts responsi bility from which he would shriek. He could not gather from the noble lord the least information as to wLat he would suggest to supply the placeif thoarates were abolished. If the Impost was to be removed, some subatituts ought to be supplied. If the government were not prepared such aanbetitute, what became of their prestige t e o ner:n P gon e 'ty, if they were not p repared to offer the house and the country some substitute lie must protest against such • mode of dealing with the qneetion. If they could not support the present law let them mate their objection to it ; but let destr o yt say that they were prepared to support a bill ti the rate altogether, and aak the house to adopt their policy In that re Tact, while they were not prepared to offer any substitute for the arrangement which they sought to terminate. Not withstanding whet bad oocnred, be believed the question might still be satisfactorily settled, but he was moat sorry that her Majesty's government, in voing for the aboli tion of church rates without effeeing the subetitute which they admitted to he necessary, shrunk from the neponsibility which devolved on them of offering • remedy. Lord J. RUSSELL wished to state the reason why he would vote for the second reeding of the bill. He had de fended the continuation of church tales, and felt very much flattered at hearing from the right hon. gentleman opposite, that he bad done so effectually. He bad done his Lett but beam sore, to say his etfortehad met no support from theright hon. gentleman who had just sat down. (Hear, hoar.) On • former 00DU46.11 he and his noble friend, the First Lord of the Treasury had voted for the continuance of church rater, end had thereby dimples's& a large 'action of their party ; bat es these occasions they received no support from the leader of the conservative party—he was then silent; but now, when public opinion had changed, the right hon. gentians= came torward and mute a speech which was aimed • I despairing one, in support of them. He said the governmeat in supporting the bill did so because they believed church rates ware lamina and intolerable. He denied that he saw anything unjust in them; that, however wee no I infer the question. The church rates had been oppo sed on two grounds, one of which he had combatted most strongly, and agethet which his arguments were direeed. At the recent election for the West Hiding of Yorkshire the two liberal candidates, of course, avowed themselves oppoeed to church rates • but even the conservative candidate expressed tho same opinion, and stated he had before voted against them. In addition to this proot of the public feeling, he had seen the majority against this bill dimteith from GO or 70 to 10 or 20, and then the majority turned the other way. Ile had then to ark himself whether it was verb while for the church to stand by the authority of parliament, or rather of the House of Lords alone. When be saw the question wee making such progress in the country he bad to consider whether it was poseible to make any com promise. One compromise proposed was to draw a lone of distinction between churchmen and dissenters, and make the rate compuleuy on the one, but ax cos the others. At present the dist inction be teeth churchmen and dissenters wee a matter of Wet. It often happened that • man at:reeled by the ea-vice of the church aben , doned his former place of worship and ' began to attend church, but if a Woad line of demarcation be drawn by law between churchmen and diaters, that which was now a more matter of habit would become • flied belief, and the easy transition would be no longer possible. When this bill was originally discussed there appeared very little chance that the Laic et the church would be kept up by voluntary offerings, bat they bad seen of late years, and with great satisfaction, too, the estailishtd church had become much stronger in the affections of the people ; that the amount of contributions 'het had been made for new churchee, and for the endowment of ministers of the esta blished church, bad come to a sum which he did not ex actly remember, but a sum so large no one would have believed twenty yeera ago that such a sum could have been collected by voluntary offerings. But with reprd to this question of church-rata, the amount raised by compulsory church-rates had very much diminished. The sum raised was formerly 400,0001. • year and upwards, but now it barely reached 260,0001., Lut at least an equal, if not a greater, sum was collected voluntarily for seroes oi the &wok. They had then to sob themselves wee it not possible, was it not probable, that if they abolished church-rates, if they left the outmost of the fabric of the church to voluntary contributions that those churobee would be as well repaired and as well maintaieed, as they were at the present moment. (Herr, hear.) There might be questions in com mittee—be would not say with regard to • substitute, but with regard to the regulation of the collection of these volun taryoffas. But the question before them was the second reading of this bill for the abolition of church rates. So far from this heiog a measure for the destruction of the national church, be believed that the hoe. member for Tavlstock, who had inUoduced the beL contemplated nothing of that kind. The prieciples that he bad stated be believed were the prin ciples which were staud by him noble friend the First Lord of the Treasury. They did not exactly state that church rates were unjust and hoolerable, but they said that looking at the present position of the question, looking at the state of publio opinion out of doors and the feeling of the hoses, it was fitter, it was better foe the church that these rates should be abolished, and that It was more likely they should maintain the church in its efficiency by abolishing then by maintaining them. (Cheers.) The house then divided — For the mooed reading Against it l9O-73 The annonneement of the oututen was bailed with cheers. Me WALPOLif said he understood the First land of the Treasury that when the bill got into COnlinitiea porno er raagement might be made for a substitute. Would the go vernmeat take charge of the clause.? Lord PALMERSTON said the substitute he proposed we voluntary coatnbutions. Mr. N &WONG IaTE gave notice that on the question going tato committee on the bill he should move that the house moles heel( leto committee of the whole house for the purpose of hopo.ing a rate of td. in the pound on all property whioh daring the last saves years has been subjected to church rare, ire occupier to recover from the owner.

(Hear, eetr With regard to the conscientious grievance complained o , mid which the right hon. gentleman sod formed the main objection to the ret e that was completely got rid of by the till introduced by his right hon. friend (Mr. Walpole). (Hear, hear.) That bill might, indeed, have been oppceed by churchman, but they supported it as the most liberal compromise that could be proposed to porltament. (Hear) The dierentire, helped by many of tease who now form. part of her Majestj a government, rejected that bill, but haring done so, it wee futile to urge the cooscientious jectiou say longer. (Hear.) The payment of church rates ems opposed not on account of any tenderness of ooseeience, but, as had been openly avowed out of that house, as the first step towards the dissolution between church and state.

The hasn. gentleman shadowed forth something about • diomem board, but it would be useless to discuss a plea which was not before the bongs and which had been merely hinted at es • future possibility. (Hear, hear.) Church rates had existed in England for 1,000 year*, and when IN right bon. gentleman argued from what had been done is the way of church building of late years that there was little Isar of the churches tailing into decay, he was using en argument which was obviously fallacious, for if thank isles were to be entirely abolished there would not be the seam stimulus for exertion. He thought her jtetya government had not treated so impudent a to the way la which it ought to have bean treated. VZsiady to do anything that would relieve the con solation scruples of the dissenters ; but he believed the pre- MEI epees w better than cup of the proposed substitutes; and thetas. was the opinion stated • short time since by the Soserszy of State for War. He trusted, therefore, that the eight bon. gentleman would now be foiled voting in oppose d= to the bill which was the find step in an attack on the institution of she churola. Sir O. C. LEWIS explained that MI remarks did not refer to Dr. Phillimore's bill, but to • later period, whim the plan to which be referred was brought forward by those with whom he bed acted. Lord FERMOY said the speeches of the right hen. get *Ma the member for Staffordshire and that of the hon. member far the King's County were of • very retrogelide character. The right hon. gentleman himself we. a mem ber of a government which brought in a 1411 to declare that the majority could not, bind • minority to provide for the support of the church. The hon. member for the King's County called on the Boman esthetic members not to assist the dissenters in this attack on the church: bet the Lill was no attack on the church ; it was not a step to abolish the onneion between church and state. (Iles, hear.) They would ouly strengthen the church by doing away with a grievance and an iDiolliCt. I (Hoer, hear.) The bon. gentlemen asked the Roman catholic to oppose the bill, as they enjoyed the grant to Maynooth. if the hon. [gentleman put the grant to May 'tooth on that footing, itwas not worth two year: purchase —(hear, hear)—if it was put in the rues boat with church rates It wculd not lad long. (Hear hear.) The hon. tth c la i men ought not to forgot the aeration owed by the cathohns to the diasentan of England. What would have bsoome of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill but fee the support of the liberal party comprising so many dissenters ? The gnashes must soon be settled ; until it was, the church would be weakened and society disturbed. Mr. DRUMMOND said that the present debate very had mach narrowed the apelike, he should therefore not repeat =eddied which had already been said, but only endeavour to point out what wee exactly the qoestion before them. The right hen. gentleman the Secretary of State had said truly Chet this question dated from the sedition of the Home of Lords in the Beelines. ass; the natural way of getting rid of the evils then arises; was to place church retell on the same footing as say other rates ; that, however, was net done. The bishops whom duty it was to bring ut each a measure, neglected it. No doubt it was • rhythm In large towns that the entire rate* should go to the pubis church. The dissenters complained of two grievance. one was true and the other false, the tree grievance was th ati to which he had joie referred; the &Meese was that ithurt thaircomcium to pay for a church establiehmest. Mr. MAGUIRE would not have Map:mead on house but for the appeal made by Übe hoe. member for the King's ' County to Roman esthetics. He believed he and every other catholic member would go taut a dlfferent lobby from the bon. member. From 1E162 be had always supported the priociple of this bill, and would still do so. This w,s not en I attack on the institution of the church, bat an Meek cm en abuse. it was not fair to make a Roman catholic or • absentee pay for the worship cf a pro testaat. The Roman catholic church in Ireland was entirely voluntary, yet what was the result ? Evere day saw new churches and convents rising up.; So also If church rates were dune away with the proteatanta of Englaod would be able to meintain their church. (Hear, hear.) In all the battles for catholic freedom, the dissenters had sup ported them, and he would now nouns that auppurt. The established church in Ireland was not a bulwark of liberty, but • monument of !oepreerios. (Home hear.) Teke the case ef a Henan aelegic landlord forced to pay a protestant clergyman, who rendered no melee to him or his tenants. (Hear, hear.) The egmbliehment nu en alum, and the Irish Roman catholic. would be every day calling with a louder voice on the dissenters of England to aid them in their attack on it. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON wished to 'tete the grounds why be voted for this bill, especially as he hod never before voted for a bill of this description. (Cheers, and counter-cheere, and laughter.) He was glad to find lion. gentlemen, them selves the patterns and models of convert+, modes with such joy a new convert. He had thought, and still thought, that Ii was essential to the honour and dignity of the country that the fabric of the church should be maintained, and, if pos sible, be would have preferred the reistlng system of MO; but when he saw by repeated instances that not cooly the public out of doors, but parliament itself, had by large majorities declared *gimlet the eyetem, he could got art his Individual preference against public opinion. When he looked at the state of the church is the country be saw en every side a number of district churches admirably built and well maintained homer these churches well built and well maintaiced without church rates, and hecould not but ask whether the pariah churches could not be maintained in the same manner? (Hear hem.) It appeared to him an arrangement could be made by which a eufileitnt provision could bt secured for the maintenance of the wish church, as was now done for district churches. He :would not enter into any discussion of tee motives In which the opposition to the rates originated. He vas persuaded that, aitnough the dissenters, for names of which they were entitled to be judge', might object to a compulsory rate, yet there wire many instances in which obey would voluntarily contribute to the maintenance of the churches which were ornament. to the town in which they lived. Them liberal feelings would induce them to give voluntarily what they would refuse to a compulsory de mand. He was ready to vote for the Fecund reading, and he trusted that in committee some arrangement might be devised. (Cheers and counter cheers, and laughter from the opposition.) Honourable gentlemen who had cheered so strongly, the right houourable baronet the member for Hertfordshire, when in the reform discussion he went through print eller point, saying that is for the committee, now treated with levity the pummel to modify Weevil. (Hear, hear.) It wee objected that by abolishing compulsory rates they would destroy the esta blished church. He repudiated the supposition as degrading and aajan to the church of England. Its firmest ground of support was I. the effection end respect of the people of this country. There was no danger of that feeling dying away so long as the conduct of the ministers of the church was such as they now saw, which year after year rivetted more and more the attachment of the wile to tee established church. (Hew, hear.) He could not think this impost was treasury to the maintenance of the cburch. He agreed with those who thought that, by abolishing the compulsory rate, they would get rid of what wee equally distasteful to dieseneffb and to many church men; and, so far from weakening the church, they would, by removing • grievance, strengthen and mum it. (Rear.) Mr. DISRAELI bed listened with great attention to tie speech of the noble lord, as it was the first time he bad ad dimmed the house on this subject. He quite opted with him that a saga might change hisopinion en all subjects, sad such • Osage was entitled to all respect when arrived at by feu* of reason, and with all the advantage,' of experience. The noble lard had often announced • change of hie opinion to the hone.; but the question then wee not whether the noble lord had changed biS opinion, or on what ground., but whether he dad come forward that day in a manner be ' corniest tee difficulty of the situatioa, and had displayed such wide= In the course be had taken as would make the house recognise him as capable of reemumendine a policy which should demand their assent. He could collect from the noble Iced', speech oohieg that could give estiefeution to the house, or could justify them in recognising his recom mendation as one worthy of his position. (Reer, bear.) other lord entered into some general argueueuse erg then* rates, which if they amounted to anything amount. d to this, that he was in favour of • voluntary system. That was one of the greyest questions whieheould be brought before the house. The noble lord adverted to one point of dead, and then concluded that they ought to arrive at e satisfactory conclusion that the same system which produced puce eetiafactory melts wen regard to district churches might be safely applied to pariah churches. The noble lord, however, ought to remember that these district churches were not things of yeelerday, they exist. d when the noble lord had entertained very different opinions as to this bill. The noble lord could not agree with those who anticipated such serious results from this bill. No doubt many members on the opposition side bad signed that pored a grave and eerie. roeponeibility rested on these n or ported the bill but no one had put it more forcibly ex pressed himse lf more strongly against the revoltitionary cha racter of ouch a bill, than rue of tee eollseguee, _and Use most trusted colleague, of the noble lord Hs heard speeches from hon. members on Ids side of the house, bat they were Meta to be oventeshisdaadoveroolcured, bed A public meeting was held list night, et the Lon don Tavern, to beer statements reelecting the test% in Chinese and Coolies carried on in British Ships, to British and foreign colonies, and to adopt a memorial to goverment, praying for a committal of inquiry into the subject.

Lord BILOUGHAY, is opening the proceedings, said—Gen deem, it gives me great satisfaction to meet you has this day in order to takainto consideration a subject of very great importance, deeply interestina to all the (fiends of humanity, and, I would ad d. to all the friends of a sound, well.con aidered, end just policy. (Cheers.) The main object of our meeting is to consider the state of the immigration into our *Awoke of the coolies from our East Indian possessions and the Chime from our poestetions in that past of the world. There ere many differences of opinion upon this subject and whether or not there exists in one West India colonies or generally in our colonial settlements the want of labour which it Is contended, on the part of those oho favour the intro deedke of them coolies, exiata or has existed for the last 26 yews since we liberated our almost, whether that exists M all, or at any rate whether it exists to the degree to which it is alleged to exist, is • question which I think seriously de serves inquiry, and upon which It would be rash to give a confident opinion one way or another without further investigation. (Hem, hem.) Now 1 have often been charged by the West ladle body as being battle to them. lbelkee, ea the °calvary, that I hero been their beet friend (hear, hear)—first, in promoting the abolition of the infernal sieve trafflo—(cheera)—next, in continuing to promote that object after the liberation of our slaves., when it became still morentoesaary this ever for the West India body that the trsdid In African slavery should be put down entirely. For who sad what are they who mainly oppose and thwart the schemes, the great schemes, the lawful ache me*, of the West ladle planters ? Their real enemies are the cultivators of slave grown sugar in foreign settlements. (Hear.) That is what they mainly suffer by, and until the slave me& is really and effectively put down all over the world, our West India planters will suffer just is much In their lood interests as the cameo! justice and hummity suffers in Its interests. (Cheers.) But the immigration of coolies is said to afford a great relief to that body. If it be so, and if they shall show that in consequence of the liberation of their nerves and the slave population of oar colonies being converted into • fees people, and • free people given somewhat to agricultural labour, somewhat given to the raising of sum—not so much given to that culture as is necessary, perhaps, foe the inte rests of the planter, and this is he if statement—but if this be so, and if they really do want a sufficient supply of hands, far be it from me to say that they ought not to nave the benefit of immigration, provided it can be secured to them free from the risk of reviving under the form and in another name the old slave trade. (Cheers) When I breeched the subject the other night, in presenting some petitions to the House of Lords, I was told by my noble frieed at the lead of the Celonial Department, you can have no doubt that the planters feel the want of hands when they see willing to let themselves be taxed to order to enable them to obtain the supply of tootles, and other labourers which they require. No doubt it is a severe test to apply taxation to men's motives end to men's &them and xis very natural to say, if these planters submit to be taxed, it is a clear proof that they have • very great want of hand', and that but for that want they would notsubroltto that taxation. My answer is that they do submit to be taxed, bet that the tax is not mitred to themselves. (Cheers.) The poor negro is taxed as well as the planter—(bar, hear)—the liberated African, the liberated Creole, the alms population is subject to the same tax—much lees no doubt, because their mans are far more slender, but in proportion to the it mesas they bear the emu weight of taxation, with this dif ference the planter pays the tax is order to obtain a sup ply of hands, the negro pays the tax is order to have his labour cheapened by that supply of hands—so that he burns the candle at both ends, he pays the tax and he loses the wages. (Hear, hear.) I don't mean to my that this is a deer proposition any more then the other which asserts the want of bands end the nemesity for immigration ; but I say at Meat that it demands invesegation, and what I should, strongly recommend to this meeting would be to confine itself to a demand for inquiry—not a one-aided inquiry, calling whams, all on one aide who are of one opinion, but calling witnesses on both slim—those of the planter as well se those of the n. gro—md N there is a third party who is neither leaning towards one party or the other, I would call these witheetee, and let the whole of them be ex amined. (Cheers.) have given you very shortly my notion of the state of the cam, and will only regent you to give • patient hearing to every one who may address you, whatever may he their °piston. (Cheers.) I may add that I have received a letter from my right rev. friend the Bishop of Gifted, who le exosediogly sorry that he cannot attend the meeting, being under the necearey of leaving town at an early hour on account of professional duties. I cannot mention that name without having recalled to my recelee tion hire towards whom the feelings of veneration and of affection strive in my boson for the mastery. (Loud chem.) Mr. CRAMEROOZOW, the secretary, stated that letters had been received from Sir John Bowring and several other gen tlemen who were unable to attend. Bir John Barring, after el plaiting that his absence was owing to his ' , behind heelth, stated that he had not been unfaithful in Chine to his bag cherished opinions. (Cheers.) Mr. C. BUXTON, M.P., moved the first resolution " That this meeting ) having heard the statements which have been made on Ilse subject *f the present system of üb , taining indium and Chinese as labourers, and their employ aunt in British colonise, considers It desirable that • memo rid should be presseted to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, bar Majesty's Secretory of State for the Colonies, praying his to promote the appointment of • committee of the Reese of Lords to inquire into the whole subject." The greatest differences of opinion provided eves amongst those who had studied the subject, end it was most desirable to have a searching inquiry before a committee of the House of Lodge which would tend to allay the bitter feeling which ex isted Is the colonies and be productive of g ro at advantage to the West Indies. (Hear hew.) Where there was • great extern of uncultivated eni fertile land there could be no doubt it would be • good thing t pour in labourers to bring the load into eultivatem. It appeared incredible that the planters should have demanded en increase of hands unites there wu lOW 00C114011 for such increase. Me. C. ANBTEIf, fn seconding the motion, said t h at although he did not undervalue the subjects of inquiry which had been suggest ed by Me . Buxton, there were other matters of a still her nature which must come before parliament. Besides e creation, is immigration absolutely required, and whet fund shall be applicable to the p urpore, there remained the higher question of the morality of the means by which the emigrants are lo be obtained in their own country—the question, how far have British off cials abroad corresponded iu practice to the professions they have made at home in their endeavours to carry ant the honest *isles live measures which have been parent for the sup premien of the slave trade, and for interdicting the holding of slaves to British subjects—and the question is any and what alteration of the existing law In these respects necessary. (Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman then adducted numerous instances which had come under his (MD k owledge. in which immigrants had been the subject of force and fraud—of . force in being kidnapped, end of fraud in being led to believe they were entering into engagements for their own tenefikinstead of for the benefit of their o ar, i s (Hear, hear.)

Mr. PACKS paid that one reuoa spinet proceeding with this bill was the feet that • oommittee of the other hoses was now sitting to consider the beat mesas of deaths with the question of church rata. A oommittes of that base hid eat • is, sesame ago, and examined • great number of wit semis ; but they h ad not been able to ogres on any report, said the home was thus deprived of the advantage of their Inquiry. A recent return showed that between 1,800 and 1,700 churches were going to dome ; in the lace of this fact they would surely not abolish the means for repairing thee. churches. After quoting from a speech of Lord John Russell is opposition to • former bill for abolishing church rates, he said be 1•1 16 tiol that the noble lord was not in his plea ; he wee told he had suddealy changed his opinion on this questa". (Hear.) Hs could not understand this sudden change. The were sow two bills before the house—one for a vothetary ammo taloa of church rates—the other for their abolitios. How could the promoters of the former bill vote for the bill before the house f I church rates were abolished how could they be commuted ? (Hoz, hear.) lir. STANILAND toneidered it hopeless for the how to proper any subseitute for church rates which would be satisfactory to the clergy. They ought, therefore, to take an enlarged view of the question sad legislate in such a mew, a would give eathreeeion to the country. Mr. HENNESSY, as a Roman catholic member of the home, said he wee satonished that say was should deny that this wee en meanie on the church by the protestant dis wan. (Heez.l He thought that such en Wick ought not to be promoted by the catholic.. The same principle was involved in oharth rates sad In the Maycooth grime The Roman catholic members wouhl do welt to read history on this gelation. Eighty years ago, Lord North hardproposed church rates is Cenathi for the support of the catheltc charcb there ; and the mottos wee opposed on precisely the same wen now urged on behalf of protestant = se re. For this boon to the esthetics of Canada lbw were indebted to a coussevative government, as well as for an increased grant to Maynooth. This bill bad been introduced by Mr. Dillwyn, the same hem. member who was promoting the Endowed Schools BilL The latter bill was supported by ell the Roman catholic members, except himself; ad be could not but regret that they joined in these attacks on the church of England. They should refrain from wanks on a church which had done much, and would do still more, to promote the social welfare of the people of England. The church of Ragland had been spoken of in that debate smiths enemy of tolerance, and the dieseetare as its great supporters. The very contrary was the dam; the church had always been the supporter of toleration, aid the dieser:term the champions of intolerance. (Hear, hem.) Sir G. C. LEWIS said the question had been as often before the house that he should not hare risen had not • direct appeal been made to him the other night. He wished first to state distinctly the nature of the church rate. It differed from ell other rates in being a voluntary rate, end one for which the Court of Queen's Bench would not grant a mandamus to enforce. [An Hoe. MEMSEII mentioned the Public Libraries Rate.) That wee only • small rate; he meat to distinguish church rates from poor rues and others. Ho bad before him • return for the seven years anding September, 1868, which showed the following results: He would state the prinapal results of the return as chewing the average e: tore for the last seven years. The gross amount expended for all purposes wee 836,0001., and that MUM was compo ed of 366,0001. for the repair of churches and churchyards; 186,0001. for the celebration of divine worship, and 93,000/. for other purposes The grom amount of receipts appeared to be 680,0001. glen. He wished to cell the attention ot the how to the tact, that the whole of the discussion related to S;sum of 263,0001. That was the present amount of thumb rate, reckoning the average of the last seven years to be made up. There was • eurn of 48,0001 derived from special sources, and the voluntary rate and mutscriptions amounted to 269,0001., so that the amount of voluntary rates and subscriptions was larger than the amount of the church rate emit. The whole question, therefore, related to • sum of about 260,0001. They did not know the total asereesenent for the church rate, but they did know the amount of amassment G r the aunty rate, and, as the amount of both did not mate daily differ, be would spume it to be 84,900,0001., which was the assessment for the county rate. Assuming that the patient church rate was levied on half that amount, it would adapt a rate of 2d. to the pound. The objection to the pay ment of church rates was not likely, therefore, to be one of a pecuniary character. It was so light a charge on property, that the otesetion could not Krim from the gravity of the burden. The first and main objection was a conscientious one on the part of the dissenters from the established church, who did not thick it right to lee called on to maintain a church from the doctrines of which they diffeel. (Cheers.) There was soother class of objection., which were calked to the members of the established church, end those misted where district churches were eatahlished, which neceseiteed the payment of a double rats. Thole was a third ground of ohjectiou,:where the pastor was disliked by the parishioner', either on atonal of some peculiarity of doctrine, or some sappeeed immorality in hie rotdoct. In the majority of rural parishes, however, church rates were paid without soy objection made. (Hear, hear.) hut in a very considerable patios of the large town parishes church rates had been withheld. Three was, therefore, • great difference be tween the town end country is respect to the payment of church rates. It was therefore prac tically impossible to make a eatisfectory arrangemeat which did not allow for this difference between town sal country. With respect to the maintenence of the garish church In large tows@ little difficulty was experienced in maintaning the fabric of the decide It was in those perishes when • church rate wee made on • reluctant obesity that the great difficulty was felt. As the law stood present there was no legal made of providing for the myth of the church where the majority refused to levy • rate foe that purpose. It appeared to him that the owners of lead would nut &ergs their properties for the maintenance of the church. That was the remedy propose by the right hon. gentleman oppoeite, but he did not think it would answer the end he had in view. Another proposal was to transfer the present bur len from the occupiers to the ownere, as in the cos of the Irish tithes. If that proposal hod been made Dome years ago, it might have been accepted, but he did not think It would succeed mow. It would do away with the power of the vestry ; and where the property of the perish belonged to an individual, It would give him the power of withholding or paying the rate at his pleasure. Another propmed remedy was to levy • compulsory rate on the members of the setablirhed church. He was di-pored to think that that was • satisfactory mode of settlement, but rafter what bad taken place on the suhjeot in former pease, he did not think the government could propose any plan on that principle which was likely toSadacceptancewith teahouse. He now cametotheobjectlonsagenst the billbeforetheborme. The greet objection was that if the compulsory enforcement of the church rate was given up the fabric of the church would fall Into decay. He did not agree in that view of the came. Those who were members of the house when the right hoe. gentleman (Mr. Walpole) Introduced his bill last year would remember the description which he gets of the calamities which were likely to heal the nett= which allowed its ea• mod temples to fall in salsa He quoted on that occasion the lines of the poet— Doliera raj mum inancritus Imes Iterearie, donor temple refeeeris "FAesque labentra Darien, et Feeds nlgro eimulurs fame. If the eight boa. gentleman applied that description to the churches of France after the revolution of 1789, when the temples of that country were turned to profane purpoug, it would have been suitable; but it was in the highest degree keppliable to the state of things in this oouatry, sad the masses in which they acted. So far from neglecting the age of their temples in this country, he should rather say that church bullring and church srchitecture heel undergoes a revival during the last ten or twenty years.

It might have some effect in the Fermat Fleeter, but it would sot have say marked tiled werally throughout the country. His main objection tote abolition of a compulsory rate was that if they remitted the obligation where it was at present paid without difficulty, they thereby tweeted • charge from one class of property to another. (Hear, hear.) That appeered to him to be the most sericite. °Matra to the roomers. But, as there was no prospect of settling the subject by any of the compromises or 'elude.. to which be had referred, it was his intention to vote for the measure now before the house. If parliament agreed to the totel abolition of church rates, he thought that • dioceren board might be established, with s powerUt gloating subsi dise in aid of the parochial funds if these weft found to be inendicieut for toe proper malatemance of the church, like these religious societies which were in the habit of giving *id where the local fends were found naufflciat, but giving it • legally cosetitated character.
