CHELSEA VESTEr MEETING. -........ . the Vestry Meeting of the Pariah of St. Laker, Chelsea.. yesterday, " for the election of Chorchwar &c. for the year ensuing," the Rev. Dr Wet: thee, Rector of the Parish, on entering the Vestry directed the Vestry-clerk to read the notice . convening the meeting ; after which the Doctor .roposed, that as the room was so crowded it would better to proceed to the Church. 'he Dr. having taken the Chair, stated the object ' the Meeting. viz. to elect Chatchwardens. &c. for year ensuing; and as it fell to his lot to-nominate of the ,Churthwardens. be stould pebteese Mr. .ilip Borrow. This was unanimously 'goad to Mr. Thos. Davy was nominated as the ethic Church- warden. and was elected without opposition. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to the nomination IN r. Philip Sanders as Master of the Workhouse. lob el that be had filled that situation nine or years to the satisfaction of all parties, and that - the Chairman) had witnessed his capabilities to that itopottant..office, and be hoped there would be objection to his continuing it. There being no dissentient voice, Mr. Saunders was elected. The present Matron. Mrs. Ann Davis. was nominated and thanitnously elected. The present Beadles were put in nomination midi aliened ; but on the motion of the Rev. S. W. :racy, one was considered as belonging to the Old town, and the other to the New town. Mr. R. NEWMAN said, that lest there should be any ring like jealousy existing between the two towns, begged gentlemen to consider how well the offices werecounterpoised by the election of a gentleman horn each town. On some observations being here offered respecting e choice of the Rector's Churchwarden, The CHAIRMAN said that it bad been his inthriable practice to make cholas of his eburchwardeu from the town which the parish had not chosen -from, vie.: if perish bad chosen tbeir's from the new town, thou bad selected his from the old town, and vice verse; was a good old custom, and be did not wish to see set aside. Mr. *am said be bail one eV:treaties to offer, eich was, that although the present Reeler had pro perly 'bad considered,' to both towns, yet. a future one might exercise his discretion differently. and he wished to ate a rale ealeddished which would be bind ing on the Rector. The CHAIRMAN said is SHIM was the intqatioa that both charchwardees Were to Teetelected• fro**s e town, and he did notithtielpate that 'any !Wore tor would ever wish that to be the ease. Mr. R. Newmatt begged leave to say, tint he , was himself very anxious for the continuance of old cus toms, beverthelns, many were known to he bad, and if so, the sooner these were destroyed the better. — (Hear, bear.)—He anticipated, with considerable plea sure, the destruction of this barrier between the two towns.—(Hear.) -The Ca camas: then proceeded with the only re maining part required by the Meeting, TVs.: the elec Lien of the auditors of the church accooots. The fol lowing gentlemen were severally proposed and second ed, as being lit persons for that office. and were duly elected. Mr. JANIS EDWARD WATERHOUSE. the Rev. RI. CBARD ROHARTS, JOHN HILGRIOT, Esq. It wag sug gested that the latter Gentleman was not eligible, nut being a householder, as required by the Act of Parlia ment. That part, relating to the point was read by the vestry clerk ; but a legal opinion bad beete oh thine", and the objection was immediately overruled. The CHAIRMAN said, having now gone through the business of the day with so much decorum and pew rriety, it 'Fri appear to him to be indicative of the good feeling Which animated the minds of tire isle \ iiants of this great and respectable parish. It was here asked with respect to the miry clerk. whether or not his office was to be considered an Of- fice for life or an &equal one? Mr. Newman was proceeding into an examination of the vestry clerk's conduct, when It was suggested that the business of the vestry bad nothing whatever to proceed apes. The purpose for which they had assembled was cow pleted.and they could not take cognizance of what bad never come before the vestry. The Chairman said he bad heard vague reports upon some reiniary mat ' tees, and had mentioned them to thot,frottsla of Mr. I Cornet : but as the subject had 'never been bright before the parish it could not now be igitated. As respected the situation, he (Mr. N.) 'considered It set one held for life; bat at the &Wealth of the parish.—(Noise and confusion.) M.. Ilvt.t. remarked that before the metier dis persed. be begged to observe that there could not be one individual present but must feel great satisfaction in witnessing the presence of the Rev. Chairman once more in their greetings, and he was sure there was not one persoo there wbo would not most gladly join in a ' vote of thanks for his impartial and upright conduct in the chair.—(Great applause.) The Rev. Dr. Wascrecee wished he had been Able sufficiently to express his thanks for the honour which the meeting had been pleased to confer upon him, but he begged to observe, that he always should feel zea lous, and exceedingly anxious, for the good of the parish, and nothing but ill health had prevented him latterly from exercising that seal and assiety.—(Ap please.)

PS After a long series of assertions and contradictions, it would appear, from the Peril papers, that there is to be war between these two old despotisms. The grounds of Ibis war are just as good on the one side as on the other; and, while it is of little consequence, as a mat.ar of abstract humanity, which is the killer or the killed, it is, perhaps, much about the tau up of a half-penny, which would be the best for the rest of the world, and particularly for us. Some people make it a question of religion; on which pare of the subject we can safely say, that the religlos that war ranted the slaughter and the re-enslaving of the Omits, is, to say the best of it, not a bit letter, than that which caused the slaughter sad the re-enslaving (as far es was possible) of the Neapolitans, the Pied monitor, the Protestants of Nismes, and many others struggling for their freedom. The point of view, and the only one, in which this war can he interesting to us, is, whether it may cal upon us, or be made to call upon us, for money. Were we Ministers, not one penny of English money should it cost, unless, indeed, we were prepared to clip the wings of the Northern Autocrat, which is directly the reverse of the policy of our present rulers. Hampered ■s they ars by engagements with that Autocrat, it is hard to say what they may do, if this war should really break out and blase for a time. To suffer the Turks to be beaten; to suffer the Autocrat to get a bold in the Mediterranean ; to see him the master of the Levant: this will not be pl : It will make England exhibit an odd figure in the world. And yet ! what is she to do? What mosey Les she, or can sbe have? How Is she to find the means of giving even a few millions to the Asstrian, or to any body else? Paper-nosey indeed, she may make again. Bat, then, eery. Bill "mat k re• peakd ; and.
