LOlOOll, MONDAY, JUNE 11. A partial change of administration is believed to have taken place, by which it is said Mr. Canning will be placed at the head of the Navy Board, Lord Melville Scerctary for the Hume Department, Lord Aida:mall Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Brugge Butburst President of the Board of Controul.—A radical change of men and measures, by which alone, we feel convinced, the present dis tresses can be relieved, we should hail with un feigned joy—such a change as that which is stated to have taken place is at 111(mA—immaterial—the flies that are already tilled to repletion, are less likely to bite severely than those by which they may be succeeded. One of the least creditable grants of the Session, . " not to speak it profanely," passed the House of Commons on Friday night last—it was not only for giving the Duke of Clarence 60001. per year aeali tion to his income, but thr granting him 18,0001. from the impoverished Ways and Means of the Country, under colour of arrears of the grant which which was offered to him in 1818, but which, like a petulant school-boy, he refused, because the House of Commons did not chase to waste the public money by doubling the grant. flow his Royal Highness could allow such a request to be made in his name, we know not ; but we believe he is the only member of the family that would have allowed it. We call the particular attention of our readers to u statement we publish to-day of the villanous means taken by the CONSTITUTIONAL SOCIETY, to draw into offence, an upright, honest, and industrious man—no comment on such conduct can be needed. The young man alluded to has been instigated to make an affidavit contradictory of this statement, to answer which Mr. King has sworn to another affidavit, in which every assertion of Orton's is satisfactorily denied—the one is a tradesman of long standing and respectability—the other a boy, who is a clerk to the " Constitutional Association"—the one appears to have deposed to trnths—the other might have lost a situation had he hesitated. Our readers will determine which of the two deposing parties is worthy of the most credit—one of them must have been guilty of gross perjury.—The having ever belonged to so infernal.society will be an indelible stain upon every man whose name has been inscribed on the list of infamy, and we hope those who may continue members of it will meet their punishment as far as the l&w allows it to fall upon them. If to conspire against the liberty of their country be a capital crime, averse as we have been to executions, we should certainly attend with pleasure, to hear the dying speeches of these disgraces to their country. Sr. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN.—Friday morning a most stormy meeting of this Parish was held in the body of the Church, (the Rector in the Chair) for the purpose as the requisition set forth, of taking into consideration the Acts of Parliament passed for the building and enlarging of churches, as they may affect this parish; audit's° for adopting such measures as the meeting should think expedient, and on other parochial affairs. The Rector stated the object of the meeting, and recommended unanimity among the parties present. Mr. Beauchamp then rose, and proposed a series of tesolutions fur the adoption of the meeting. He commented at much length on the general utility and moral necessity for the augmentation of the number of churches in the parish. He then entered into a statement of the expences of such an undertaking. He showed that the whole expellee would not exceed 20,0001. one halt' of which was to be granted by a parlia mentary grant to the parish, and concluded ky hoping the good sense of the meeting would prevail on this occasion. The first resolution was then put and seconded. The sense of the meeting was about to be taken on it, when Mr. Galloway maintained the proceeding was entirely unnecessary; and clearly showed, that from the present state of the burthens of the parish, they could not then erect a new church. The rates were already heavy, and a new church could not with propriety be levied.— (Loud applause,) lie concluded a very powerful and argumentative speech by most unequivocally opposing the resolution. The resolution was put, and lost by a large majority. The remaining reso lutions were put, and met with the same tine At four o'clock, all the parties having been ex hausted, agreed to adjourn the meeting for a fortnight. The meeting accordin g ly separated.— We congratulate the parish on this triumph—the job of the erection of a chapel of ease at Isling ton, has cost more money than the beautiful parish church did.—The trustees under that act confessedly exceeded the powers given to them by it—the bu siness altogether was so censurably conducted, as to give umbrage to all b u t the participators in it, and has produced a feeling of animosity throughout the parish that will not be speedily allayed.

BEFORE DR.PHILLIMORE, OFFICIAL TO THE ARCHDEACON OF LONDON.-JUNE 7, 1821. Ex pule ROBERT BLAMION, HENRY TRISTRAM, AND RICHARD CHAPMAN. This was a question which arose out of the illegal election o the above gentlemen as Churchwardens of St. Mary, Islington.' On Easter Tuesday last, the customary day for the election of Churchwardens in this and most other parishes in the kingdom, a vestry was held (according to customary notice on the preceding Sunday) for the election of three Churchwardens, MeiSfs.Blasson, Elborough, Chapman, Clark and Sanford were severally pro. posed, and the choice declared by the Chairman to have laden upon Messrs. Blasson, Tristram and Chapman. A poll being then demanded for Messrs. Elbarough, Clark. and Sanford, the vestry was adjourned till the .Monday tolluwing, viz. April 30, on which and toe two following days the votes were taken by ballot; in taking the ballot, however, the Gentle men who presided, ILLEGALLY allowed a plurality of votes to such of the parishioners as would have been entitled to them, under the recent act tot the regulation of Parish Vestries, had not the Bth section of that act most clearly excepted the parish of St. Mary Islinmon from its eflitt. On this subject a protest was presented before the commencement of the poll, and a majority (in cuss vuence of each illegal diowa ice) having been declared on the ballot, in lasour of Messrs. Blasson, Tristram and Chapman, a Caveat was entered, by which the swearing in of tnose gentlemen on the 24th of May (the usual day) was prevented. The argument on the Caveat took place on Thursday last. — The Learned Counsel in support of the caveat contended, that the gentlemen who offered themselves to be sworn were not duly elected. He said that the election must either be under some local Act, under Mr. S. Bourne's Act, or under some special custom ; that in this case no local Act was relied upon ; that by Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act three days notice, beginmng on a sundry, was required fot the holding of a vestry, which had not been complied with at the election on Easter Tuesday ; but that, in fact, the vestry was then held under the special custom of the parish : that meetings held under special custom were expressly excluded from the operation of Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act, by which alone the plurality of votes was given ; and the election being conducted with the admission of such votes was therefore bad. He submitted, however, that this Court could not decide upon the legality or illegality of the election, the office of Church watden being a temporal one (and on this point he cited a case front Blackstone's Reports), that the Court therefore ought to wait until a Mandamus issued front the Court of King's Bench ; for that the admission of the Churchwardens would be deciding that they had been d..ly elected . and if this Court were to admit the Churchwardens now offered, and the Temporal Courts should hereafter determine that they had not been duly elected, money paid to or by them for parish purposes would be at the risk or loss, and much other contusion would arise upon all their intermediate acts. The Learned Counsel concluded by praying, that the Official would out swear in the parties offering themselves to be sworn. The Counsel for the Churchwardens Elect said.—" Here is an election, entered in the vestry book; the book is tendered to the Court us usual: the persons there stated to have been elected arc presented, and identified in the regular way ; they demand to be admitted : what reason can the Court allege for refusing to admit them ? It is said, there may be great inconvenience in tile Court's admitting Churchwardens, whom the proper authenty might afterwards pronounce not duly elected. The Court, however, cannot leave this large and populous parish without Church wardens; and, upon the whole, the Counsel submitted that the Court was bound not to wait for a Mandamus, but to swear in the gentlemen present, appearing by the vestry book to have been duly elected." The Judge (Dr. Phillimore) said, that it appeared that there had been an elmtien of Church wardens, and it was held at the usual time, and indeed on the very day pointed out in the canons. He miscalled upon to swear in the persons so elected, and if he refused to-day, a mandamus might issue to compel him to do so to-morrow. lie should therefore admit them ; out he begged it to be understood, that in doing so, fiE DID NOT PEW BUHL: Ott 50 PNETEND TO DECIDr; ON THE LEGALIrr OF THE ELECTION; his office at present was only ministerial, to swear in the persons regularly presented to him as chusch• wardens, which he accordingly did. CI We have authority for saying that this business will only rest during the vacation, and that no 1eg..1 effort will be left untried to preserve the honest and industrious part of the parish ioners from this tyrannical attempt of their aristocratical neigh bours, to deprive them of their fair share of influence in the parish business.—ED. THE CORONATION.—The rapidity with wkich the workmen proceed in the completion of the interior of the abbey is truly astonishing; already the gal leries have ;Assumed an imposing appearance. The public are not aware that the preparations for the Coronation in the Abbey are divided between the Board of Works and the Dean and Chapter. The Dean and Chapter have given orders to engage a further number of workmen to commence their la bours this day, and the whole will be finished, it is calculated in three weeks. The various ornaments of the seats to be occupied by the Peers and Peer esses are in active preparation. The banners, flags and heraldic insignia are being painted by some of the first artists in the country. A high compliment has been paid to the talents of the Liverpool bankers, ter out of 80,0001. in notes sent up to town in exchange tbr Sovereigns, there was NOT ONE forgery. They declined the help of a Bank Inspector. From Manchester 200,0001. had been received, and only ONE forgery amongst them ; they had a London Inspector at that town. About 120,0001. has already been expended by the Bank fur machinery, building, &c. to make the new notes, and there is a talk of the plan being aban doned. A few days ago, a 501. Bank of England note was paid in, that was issued eighty years since. The principal posting houses in York reduced posting a few days ago to one shilling a mile. Two bits of indictment were prepared by the mock Constitutional Association against Mr. W. Hone, in order to be preferred to the London Grand Jury at the present sessions. The labours of the Grand Jury terminated on Friday without the association being able to muster courage enough to present them. ISO
