"The Churchwarden of this parish having been served with wages from the (•ommiseionera foe Building Churches and Chapels et their intention of building a church and chapel in this perish, sad m alting them to provide the requisite sites for the same, the go ta bitrista are requested to meet in the New Vestry Rooms on N at nest, at eleven o'clock in the morning precisely, to authorize the flierthwattlens to inform the Commissioners either that the rariali will a wi Olrder) "l aot proidve such sites.

The CHAIRMAN Paid, that in consequence of the notice served u pon the Churchwardens, they bad laid the subject before the Se. t o t Vest. rv, who considered that no answer could be returned until f.e inhabitants of the parish had been consulted. and the Meeting t u t consequently been converted by the requisition now read.

Those are the pariah r cords, and ought to be impartially kept. Mr. R. Tas - ton said, he retueinhersl perfectly well that the eciddatters, aline's( to s man, were unanimous on the question, and illiquid that they did not consider there was any occasion fur any an chortle* or chapels than they had. Mr. SLAVOIITER thought he could explain this seeming incon ie:...:y. The tact was, that no entry could have been made, be a. the , 111C1l11 , TI was re rev disposed of in the regular way o f t+:- e s,. Dot why was it not? The parishioners, u Mr. Taylor Try truly stated, were unanimous in their opposition to the motion CI say th.w l'hnrches or Chapels; hut though the Rector, who resided on that occasion, was very willing to put the question af. reeirele, yet he declined putting it on the conical. Ile, in had the spiritual welfare of the parishioners so much at heart. tit he sould have the Churches built whether they wanted Kerr or not. (Laughter). The thankless parishioners were as i.ra I: determined to resist his kind intentions. aml an amendment sus "nosed, the spirit of which was completely 'subversive of the Qtr. Gentleman's pmpoaition and after exhausting his stock of Christian patience, they forced him to vacate the Chair before mho motion or amendment was disposed of, and that would pro hibly account for its not having been entered on the books. question was here started as to the legality of the mode in which this Meeting had been convened. The notice to the church slakes from the Church Commissioners was dated in July, and en were bound by Act of Parliament to call a Meeting within femur' days, which they had nut complied with. Tee CLAIR iIAX said that they were compelled only to lay the re:tist bettor the Select Vestry, which they had done; a nd th e fatty, not feeling theinsielves competent to decide on a MI bjeet of sq.+ magattude, had retorted it to the consideration of a General Slrein • of the parishioners. Mr. "Tuner Rr,IIIHRON was clearly of opinion that the ;Momma; was illegal, the terms of the Act not having been com a:sd with, and moved a resolution to that effect. Mr. Calla was of the same opinion, and begged love to second the motion. Mr. Beaecitame trusted that, as the parishioners were now snembled, they would not dwell upon mere technical objecions. They had to discuss a question of very serious consequence, and me that in its operation would entail a vast deal of expense to the pariah. If he was rightly informed, the Commissioners had the power to build the churches in defiance of the parishioners ; and if that were the case, would it not be better foi themselves to provide time sites than allow the f'ommissioners to do sit, when the expense reold eventually fail on the parish ? He merely suggested this as the moat prudential course they could adopt, circumstanced as they CTS Mi. MICHAUD TAYLOR thought it would be an admission of tSeit a:quiesctice, were they to entertain the proposition under any peteoce whatever. These were not times to talk of building eisr.iini, wasp, in point of fact, the parishioners were unable to was their other burdens..lt would be more prud-nt to appnliriLte ti's.: funds to the needmities of a starving population. (Hear, Iwo, hear.) He was a friend to the Church Establishment him.. iii. tad he rejoiced in its prosperity ; but he did not conceive that dere ear ary sant of accomnindat ion for all religions purposes in the parish, at least far the present; and on these principles he timid oppose the erection of the new churches. A Parishioner (shose name we could not leant) said that the peat bulk of the expense would be supplied by the Co.nmis.ioners au of the money refunded to England on account of the Austrian Ins, whith had been set apart fir the purpose of building churchim ; la if they sere to resist the Commissioners' pronoskion, the pa r-Ate/mid lose die benefit of the grant, and perhaps be eventually oximelled to build themselves those churches which they were now miy required to find sites fur. Another Parishioner said, the money received in lien of the Aus trian loan would have been much better appropriated for the re dctian of die taxes, or in liquidation of the national debt. (A hash.) Ir. CORM( could not see any reason why the Commissionary shield wish to force those two new churches on the parish, which ea already amply supplied, there being no lea than fifteen houses of eirthip within the district, six of which were in connexion with i'..e Established Church. (Hear, hear.) In fact, he never knew say althea places to be filled. Mr. SLAUGIIT E a wished to correct in error which some gentle men reasnzid to have fallen into, with respect to the com; u riser which the Act of Patliament was said to have given the trinctissioners. It was quite true, that, by the 511th Geo. 111. rin.C, there was a power which enabled them to levy a rate to a giir. extent; but it was quite evident that this power was subse. Szenth• considertd inexpedient to act on, a., by the sth Geo. IV. tap. 14, it was provided " that the Bishop of the diocese may con-' see: to the building of adtlitionul churches or chapels, or to the pur chase at buildings fur that purpose, upon application, or certificates o' mere or more householders that there is not accommodation for "We :haz one-fourth of the inhabitants of the parish, at the expense 0 'll':!) persons , or others willing to subscribe thereto." Hence it to luae tit sniftst that the Legislature considered that the consent if die great hotly Pith:: parishioners ought to be obtained before the t ifir,:ssinnets should proceed to the erection of the churches. It xeiid seem indeed as if the Rector hit:melt with his usual often tin to the is ishes of his parishioners, had got this clause purposely i7t. - oduced, hi order to have given the advocates for the addi tral churches an opportunity of building them by voluntary t , ;b•ctiption. 3lr. R. Ter Lon—Thrm, in the name of God, let them do so if ; but let nut the expense fall upon those who do not feel want art them. COUA( then moved an amendment to this effect:—" That fir .I:,:oing authorize the Charehwardens to return an answer to the r , w;r:., , imnera, stating that the parish positively refuse to find the !C7 the propostd church and chapel, considering that there is ) .*ccaliot for them." T:.is amendment wax seconded; and, being put to the vote, •ts carried, whit only one dim.entient. Mr.AstiNEAS then moved that the proceedings of this day be priett.t, and circulated through the parish; which passed unani. Tftrits were then voted to the Churchwarden for his impartial is the chair, and the meeting broke up. A . mong legal objections as to forms, there is one on the Pu '. k•ct of which many of the legal fraternity appear to be :rs:ructed. Sot lung since an attempt was made to in ell;date an indenture; because, though perfect in all its mete, the naper on which it was written was not cut in at the top.

O Sunday night, se several boys were letting off fire t+'•'►ks in Cock-lane, the back of Shoretlitch Church, a spark fell upon a bottle of gunpowder, which one of the Pity' held in his hand, uncorked, which exploded with a terriOle noise. The poor fellow's, hand and one leg were ihoukingly wounded by the glass, which was driven into the flesh ; and part of the bottle was forced through the upstairs window of a house opposite, where a poor woman, sku was u.aking her bed, very narrowly escaped instant de,th. Di - sabre etne.—We regret to state that an old and r..peetable inhailitant of Nicholas-lane, L'onbard-street, Mr. S. Scholey, ham and provision merchant, yesterday morning terminated his exist e nce by hanging himself. 1 he &cased had lived all his lifetime in the house where he perpetrated the dreadful deed, and his business as a provi h.:cm-merchant was very extensive; he had amassed consi derable property. lie was a bachelor, between 40 and 50 Years 6f age. Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, one of the men, on opening the warehouse, was horror-struck at beholding his master suspended by the neck with a cord, from one of the beams in the shop. lie was rut down, but Kit quite dead and cold. It seems that on Monday night he went to bed at his usual hour, but the maid-servants thought he appeared very strange in his manner. They !oak no particular notice of it, however, and went to bed. They heard him go into his bed-room, but saw or heard 1.0 more of him till be was fJuttel in the state above de mibed. BRITISH ROCK AND PATENT SALT COMPANY. Yesterday a Meeting of the Directots anti Shareholders in the British Rock and Patent Salt Company took place at the City of London Tavern, Mr the purpose of deciding upon a proposition fur rescinding a Resolution made at a former Meeting, allowing to Mr. Fornival, the founder of the Company, time to pay up on 1.000 of which he is the holder. Mr. Furiiival is tIL holder of 25.000 Ames in this Company, upon all of which the calls have been paid, with the exception of the 1,000 lien. tiiintleil to. Before the Meeting proceeded to the business on which it was summoned, W. Hesebine, Esq. in the Chair, The CHAIRMAN stated, that a person outside had distributed paper, amongst the Shareholders, containing grossly false and papers ansong%t the Shareholders, containing gronsly filet and lioelluua matter against some of the ()Unmet.; and as it wa,, in his opinion. nece-nary to make some inquiry nom the subject, he should move that the distributor lie called in and questioned. Tile paper in question ease protest. on the part of W. Fornival, against any further proceedings until the charges instituted against the Direetwx should be saiislactorily answered, and the abuses complained of remedies!. Mr. 91APHAN did not see the necessity of any examination of the kind. Mr. BRoUGHTON Said, that he was one of the persons most particularly alludes% to; but ite treated the charge with the utmost contempt. The CHAIRMAN said it was nece..ary to institute an inquiry upon the subject. The Directors had been accu.ed or the most gross frauds by the person whose .ignsitire appeared to the address. He trusted that • Committee would he aviloin!,:ai to make inquiry into their conduct. upon which iniptitt:;‘ , .s had been cam. Every assistance should he given to the ComuiliWe upon the occasion—every document should at once be laid htiire them. . . . After enure further observations, it was determined that the Dis tributor should be called in. Dunworthy, the Dietributor, then stated. in answer to some questions tram the Directors, that he had come from France at .he desire of Mr. Furnival. to distribute the papers, and to send him accounts of what took place at the Meeting. 31r. Roveneseser moved that the Meeting should not receive, as a fitting mode of communication, any paper of Mr. Furnival's. after the su ffi cient notice that had been given of the Meeting in the public papers. Mr. BROUGHTON considered that the honour of the Directors was concerned. and that investigation was therefere indispensable. He, for one, had been most vilely attacked ; and be :should there fore move. as an amendment, that a Committee be appointed, tor the purpose of making the necessary inquiry. Mr. HARRINGTON suggested the impropriety of proceeding farther with respect to the forfeiture of the shares in the tinsence of Mr. Furnival; and said. that perhaps it would he advisable in any gentleman who felt aggrieved to prosecute that gentleman. Mr. Pea RATT paid, that Mr. Fumed net being in the country, he could not be prosecuted. The CitetliMAN—This we know is not the first time that charges of this kind have been brought against the Directors by 3I r. Fuinival. 3lr. Ilitouceirrov—lf he was a respectable man I'd prosecute him, but he be an object of the greatest contempt. Sir. HARRINGTON-1f you p .y attention to charges brought forward le this way, there will be no end to them. In that most respectable Company (the A nglo-Chilian) charges of the same kind were brought forward, but they were thrown out with the greatest contempt. YRESTITIELD said, he was convinced there was no founda tion for those charges that had been made ; but as Mr. Furnival amid he had evidence to give to substantiate them, it would not he advisable to throw any impediment in the way of inquiry. Mr. SUTTON stated, that upon an occasion when he and Mr. Broughton went to confront Mr. Furnival, that gentleman declined an interview, and declared that he had no charge whatever to make against thent. 3lr. Nativity then lead several papers descriptive of the con duct of Mr. Furnival, which certainly contained some extremely laughable mutter. In one of the letters he charged the Directors with having acted in such a manner as would have disgraced the character of sweeps. A resoluti , n had been passed. giving him six months to trey up the calls on the 1,1100 shares. To this indulgence he replied in the following manner:—" The unmanly attack of your Chairman, by moving for time upon the 1.000 shires. which was not asked for recently, but pra. tested against, must have originated from a base motive, to injure my diameter and my pursuits, and to destroy the value of my property." This communication was followed by an advertise ment, denying that the lenity on the payment of the calk on the 1,000 shares had been requested by Mr. F rein!, he having pro tested against any such payments, and all other future call., al. though he had made Errangements for such future calls on 25,409 shares in the Company, independent of that of the 1.000 shares alluded to, until after a full investigation had taken place into the manugentent of the Company, to the satisfaction of the shareholders. In consequence of this letter and advertisement the Directors passed a resolution, that her. Furnival should have notice of the intention to rescind the resolutimi postponing the for. feiture of the shares. Twn or three postironements had taken place, In the expectation that Mr. Furnival would attend to give a proper explanation of his conduct. Mr. Parrett then read the extracts of a minute of a meeting. held the 20th of January, 11126, which stated that " it was called by Messrs. Broughton and Sutton,to be informed why there wan a demur in paying the interest ' of the money lent by them to the Company ; upon which a de bate took place, and Mr. Robertson, on the part of Mr. Fundval, at tended' the bo ard, and stated that 31r. lumival objected to the pay ment, on the ground of misrepresentation as to the value of their works. But owing to the importance of the subject in discussion, Mr. Furnival wise requested to attend the board in person, which he then did. Sir. Fermat then repeated that he objected to the payment to 3lessrs. Broughton and Su:ton being made; and the Chairman, by the advice of the Solicitor who was in attendance, asked if Mr. Furnival allowed the due execution of the deed of set. Clement by Mr. Bolin on his behalf, as the board were advised that they could not admit him to act as a Shareholder or Director of the Company, until he executed the deed ; that if he did execute the deed, they were then ready to consider his notice, but they must require that such notice should be in writing. Mr. Fumival, there upon, denied the authreity which had executed the deed for him, and said that he should question it, and refused to execute the deed himself without farther advice. 31r. Funsival then left the room, hut stated, previously to so doing, that be did not charge Messrs. Broughton and Sutton with fraud. IYhereupon it was resolved and seconded, that 'under the circumstances, the board cannot withhold payment to Mews. Broughton and Sutton, and that therefore a cheque he at once made out for the amount, and handed to them.— R. RICARDO, Chairman." Mr. BIROUGHTON--Mr. Furnival is inveterate against me be cause I would not consent that he should have 2;0,0001. instead of the 100.0001. which he received. At the desire of several Shareholders, Mr. Pundval's protest was here real. It stated his charges against the Directors as his reason tor not paving tie call. Mr. Com. ei eet —lle here elates ceraln grounds for the non-pay. sent of the calls, and time grounds ought certainly to be received as a cause of postponement. Mr. FP.ESIIFIELn said, that It would be unfair, Tinder such cir cumstances, as had been stated in the course of the day, to order a forfeiture of Sir. Furnivare shares. Mr. PARRATT—A meeting was called in January to hear his charges, and be was desired to state them specifically; but being either unable or unwilling, he left the room, but declared before he went, that he had no charge of fraud against any of the Directors. Afterwards he begged for more time. It was till an effort to get time. The CHAIRMAN said the deed was imperative upon them. The money was wanting to the peoprietary, not the Directors, and there was no alternative but forfeiture, except the proprietors directed to the contrary ; and from the nature of the imputations elects 31r. Furnival had thrown outagainst the Directors, it could not be ex. l petted that they would act for the future with any partiality: and if the favour was granted to Mr. Furnival, every other Shareholder who, from unavoidable circumstances, might not be able to pay, would claim the same privilege. Sir. CILITAIAN said that the object for which it appeared the meeting was convened was to rescind a resolution which was passed at the last meeting, granting to Mr. Furnival the indul gence of six months to pay the iris:alumna Ile moved the resolu tion, and was act sated solely by tee principle, " Do unto others as eou would wish to be done by," and he would follow up the feeling by opposing the resolution now before the meeting, which appeared to him to have originated with the Directors, through pique and re eentment for the charges which Sir. Furnival had brought against the Directors. Now, as Ills Directors had nothing to do with the indulgence granted, it having emanated solely from the shoretiold- 1 era, he thought it extremely injudicious in the Director% to require the indulgence to he withdrawn from Mr. Furnival; for although it would appear from his letters that Ise was nets mnyrie mends, it must be admitted that he was a man of genius, and for which rea son slime the indulgence was granted. (II ear ' hear.) Four months of the time which he was allowed to pay his instalments had not yet expired. Mr. lIAILRtNGTOS then moved that the resolution granting time be confirmed. Mr. LEWARD seconded the motion. SIT. BOND opposed the motion, and moved an amendment that the resolution be rescinded. here a discussion arose upon 'the subject of the power of the meeting to rescind a resolution which they had passed. The Solicitor to the Company stated, that they certainly had the power. Sir. Fistriival had repudiated the indulgence offered to him, and made it the ground of charges against the Directors*, and the Company had certainly a right to withdraw the indulgence. The amendment was then put and carded. by which Mr. Furni val sustrins a loss to the amount of 6,00111. lie having paid 61. per share upon 1,000 shares, which have been thus declared forfeited by majority of tine persona. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting se parated. ALLEGED PO/80 NI N G.—The neighbourhood of Gosforth, in Cumberland, was this week thrown into consternation by the report of a young woman having been poisoned. It is suspected that her husband administered the poison. His name is Fox—the young woman was with child by him ; and about four weeks ago be married her, at the instigation of the parish. The woman is dead; and on Thursday last it was discovered that the man had purchased a quantity of arsenic of Mr. Saul, druggist, of IVliitehaven, who marked the wrapper with the word " Poison," and gave Fox par ticular instructions as to the dangerous quality of the article. BRITISH PRESS. JOHN !VILA'S; ESQ. M.P. Monday evening a Meetieg uf the Committee and Freemen of Suibury, lately engaged in securing the return of Mr. Wilke as a Member of Parliament for that borough, wee held at the Angel and Crown, Whitechapel. The pee pole of their assembling wan to take into' consideration the conduct tif that gentleman in refusing to realize the expectations of the freemen, as regards the payment of their expdisea to and From the plate of election. The Meeting, it a ppeayee, had not been called by advertisement, but by individual application, and consisted of about au persons. l'he Chair was taken about eight Wreck by Mr—Joliet Duce. The CHAIRMAN. in his opening leech, proceeded to comment upon the conduct of Mr. Wilke doting the election. Ina speech at the Bleck Boy, Sudbury, destitute of argument and resew', and calculated only to table the torch of diseord, he commenced by mt. ting firth his own religious imeretuenna and prejudices. He was every thing by turns; and, in the excicise of his piety, attended high church, low church, and meeting-house. He appeared, in deed, a very religiene young man, !tech as could not fail to draw down the blessiege of all the old women of Stlhery. Indeed, it was almost it stn to say any thing to the preeudice of John Wilke* but he would now prem.(' to the question more immediately before them. They had seen how, after advocating Toryism, Whiggiem, and Raelicmism, he dwelt much on the religious principles which he wished to see promulgated through the country: and. in the neck: of this, lie promised to take every man down to see him tri umphantly chaired in Sudbury. The inference they all drew was. of course, th.st he would supply the customary mode of conveyance 4 but 31r. now put in a plea that he could not adhere to the ...seed') they were accustomed to, because Mr. Rotch, the other caedidate, would not tires to It, and that. therefore, if he did so, it would endanger his Seat in Parliament; but, he said, if any of the candidates would take the lead, and advance money, he would di. rectly follow the example. But now let them mark the proceeding in all its bearints. Mr. Wilke and Mr. Botch go to Sudbury, and, on the Ste day preceding the day of election, Mr. Botch takes his flight. There vies then no longer one obstacle in the way of Mr. Wilke; for the candidates that stood the poll had already advanced a portion of the expense, with a determinatioh to pay the remainder as soon as the electors had polled. There was no longer any plea for Mr. Wilke to deceive then', as it was never known that a return had been petitioned against for the mere Payment of actual expen us- Such a petition would not for a moment be entertained. le conclu. aim, the Chairman said, the members of the Committee were pre. sent. and no doubt they were ready to give a candid explanation, or to answer any question that the electors might feel disposed to put ; so that, to use a homely expression, the saddle might be pat on the right horse. An ELLCTOR asked if any of the Committee knew that Mr. W.'s plate wan in pledge at the time, for the purpose of defraying the expense of coach-hire, &c. elr. Joe ea 'one of the Committee) said that he did not. Mr. W. knew nothing of it at the tine; but Mrs. W. might have done so. ELECT on—Do you believe that Mrs. W. would send a cheat of plate from Mill Hill to Mr. Cross's, without the knowledge of her husband ? Ido nut believe that she knew any thing of it. leeecemit—Do you believe that Mr. Wilke intended to act ho nourably to all ? Mr. ISAAC Duce (another member of the Committee) rose to answer this question. It happened on the first Monday in June, lie said. that he unfortunately became Mr. Wilke's liar; but he declared to God he had never received a shilling of Mr. W.'s mo ney. Ile bad been accused and threatened in the streets; but he hoped his character was still untouched. Previous to the election, Mr. Jonet requested lent to call on Mr. %%like, and he did so, in company with Mr. Arbut. Mr. %V. told him he had been advised by Counsel that if he secured the coach-hire previously, he would be unseated, and he was satisfied that no friend would wish him to incur that rusk. He afterwards saw a 111 r. Score there, who had since been Gazteted and lie said that if any man entering eud. bury had received 2s. 6d. only, the election would be petitioned against. Afterwards a letter was written to him ; and, in reply, he o ff ered to pay the expenses. But, in the mean time, a grand eubterfuge had been found in Lord John Russell's motion. After that, tiewever, he said lie put aside 6,500/. to pay the expenses. He (Mr. Duce) would ask the Committee if those exeressions were not used ? Under these circumstances, he submitted that the Committee were justified its acting as they had done. [Mr. Duce here real a note, informing the electors that carriages were prepared for cheer conveyance to and from Sudbury, and maul ing that any elector not preferring that mode of conveyance should, on his return to town, he paid his expensee.l In continuance, he said that die delusion had been kept up. They were told that 2,1.100 f. had been sent down. When he and Mr. Broderip went down on the Sunday. they found Mr. eVilks just going to church. Mr. Score informed him of their mission ; but he said he woald not enter upon the subject with the Londoner+ that day. Ale. Score afterwards infornied diem that their bills must be made out and sworn to. That was done; but, atter • delay of three days, .Me. Score told them lie had to attend a grand trial in Yorkshire, in which seven Counsel were engaged, and he could do nothing with them for three weeks. Being worn out by Score, they went to Mr. Wilks, who said that if Score did not pay, he would employ another. They again went to Mr. Score, who told them that any man might have suilbury, and leave the bon., dooms to their .own cane elate. But-tre (Mr. Duce) appealedete them as Englishmen. could any Member do so without their con. sent? (No, no.) So, between Mr. Wilke and Mr. Score, the business was settled. Mr. Lawis said that, understanding a meeting was to be held, he wrote to Mr. Wilke on the subject, and had received an answer from him. (Cries of " Read, read.") A warm discussion then ensued as lathe propriety of reading tide correspondence. It was a: lengths put to the vote, and decided that the letter should be read. :Ir. Lev: is then read the following:— "London. Sept. 17, 1826. " Sin—Whatever may be your opinion, I consider it my duty to /quaint you, that I attended a meeting of freemen last evening, at which it was proposed aed adopted that a general meeting of free men should take place at IVhitechapel, on Monday, the 25th inst. The freemen are so much disappointed that general dissatisfaction prevails, and they are detemiined, if possible, to ascertain from you at what titne they may depend on receiving their actual expenses. It therefore rests with you to a ff ord them that information: They have been told by us, and that front your own instructions, that in • week after the election every man should be satisfied ; and neat, immediately after your return at the Crown Office ; anti we gave three days attendance to receive front every voter his bill of actual expenses Incurred. By us they were received; but they remain where they were, locked up in our box at Whitechapel. The pro mines held forth arc therefore considered illusory ; and as at the meeting it is determined upon to call your Committee to give a just and true account for t h is unusual way of proceeding, it must therefore appear to you that we stand in need of instructions from you. It is needs-airy therefore to see you ;or by your putting us in possession, in writing, of your real sentiments, that we may read it to the whole, when assembled together. (Signed) In reply to this the following was received:— Si ft—The style and tone of your letter are not such as either please or satisfy me. It contains smtements which are incotrect, and inferences which cannot be supported. I have nlwaye said, and now. say again most distinctly, that whenever I mu apprized of any legal claims against me, I ant ready and willing to meet them. But, before tl:e meeting of Parliament, before 1 see what course Mr. Ogilvy, or any other parties, may take as to the peti tion in the election, it would surely be madness in me to throw sway any chances, or to supply, by imprudent payments, grounds for a petition against tee, which, up to this time, do not exist. After the sum of money 1 hare honourably and legally paid and expended, amounting to several thousand pounds, I sin sure the Committee and Freemen, on consideration, will believe me, when I say that I will in the end take care that every thing shall be seeded to the perfect satisfaction of all parties. " I ant. Sir, &e. " Jon e: Melts, junior, " New Broad-street, Sept. lie 1826. " To Mr. Lewis, 79, Whitechapel." Mr. ISAAC Duce viewed Mr. Wilks's talk of legal claims as a mere evasion. lie said that Mr. lawless was perfectly right, when, in answer to Mr. O'Connell, who wished to call a meeting for enlisting Mr. Wilke in their cause, he said ,Mr. %Vilks wee not worth looking after. Mr. lawless was quite right: Mr. iViles, however, had deceived persons in higher ranks of life, and he could claim no great merit to having betrayed a poor Bethnal green wearer like him (Duce). He had prepared a few resolutions, which he would submit to the Meeting. Mr. JUNES asked if it was not Duce himself who introduced this /leer/ to them? Was he not represented as bearing the trumpet . of Fame —throwing Timm-pudding in to Sudbury, and leaving the lamp-posts covered with his addresses ? He thought that every communication came through the Committee. At this time Mr. Arbut entered the main, and was asked by Mr. Hinuee, the lice-Chairman , whether or not he knew that Mr. IVilks's plate had been pledged as security for the horses and carriages ? His answer was deemed evasive. The CHAIRMAN repeated the question. Mr. A NB ur---lhave answered it. The CHAIRMAN requested a direct answer, eider affirmative or "thee. " LEWIS." .. " ;fir. XIMUT declined. The Vic E-CtrAill HAN said lie was quite satisfied with the an swer given. (Applause). It was then decided by vote (7 to 2) that the Committee had not done their duty. It was sugge•ted, however, that five member, out of the six had fairly answered the question respecting the plates and it was hard that they should be censured for the other one. The five were, therefore, unanimously exempted from the vote of censure. The VICE•CIIAIRMAN declared that it was not for the sake of the 3/. due to them, but with the general conduct of Mr. Wilke, that they felt dissatb.fietl. For his own part, if Mr. Il'illts came into the room and offered him the 3!, he would, before he received it, ask him how he became possessed alt. Mr. WALDRON said Mr. Wilks had offered to sell himself for 7,4001. He said so in a chymist's shop, in the borough of Sud bury. Ile hoped the press would do its duty, and expose such doings. The propriety of introducing the subject of the Mining trans action now became the object of discussion. Some objected to it as irregular; others thought it perfectly regular, and thought the thanks of the tlectors were due to Mr. Clark. The VICE•CIIAIR MAN asked if they were met solely to discuss 1 the qaetoton of the expense? was it not rather on the manner in' which they hod been deceived by Mr. Wilk.' generally 1 What was his cotalect when he bought Mines for 79,01)(0. and sold them to the Company for 121,0001.? Many Memben had been exnelled from Parliament for less breaches of confidence. Many a girl who walked the town had been received Into a house of re. lege on repenting of her conduct; 3nd he hoped the Electors Would now lay aside the con.ideration of the 1/. and would petition the House of Commons against the return of Mr. Wilke. He trusted they would never receive his these sovereigns. (Cries of " No, no, we never will.") Mr. ISAAC Duce again protested against the general conduct of Mr. Wilk*. and regretted that the elector' had been duped by him. He then proceeded to read a string of resolutione; to the following effect : That the payment by the candidate of the lawful expenses of voters 'revelling to and from the place of election, is sanctioned by universal custom, and recognised by the laws. That the warm and efleetionate manner Mr. Wilks'a reception by the electors of Sudbury. and the triumphant manner in which he wan brought in at time head of the poll. ought to have excited in his mind a deeire to fulfil Ilk promises and engagements. The Meeting regretted that the expenses of London voters were not discharged t that several drafts given at :•:utlbury had bL:n die. honoured ; that many still remained Unpaid ; and that, several of the Committee, in addition to their loss of time, are unable to pay expenses out of their pockets on hie account. That the Meeting deeply deplored, as a'stain upon the age and the country, that Mr. Wilke should have been coumetosmel and supported in many of his juint-stoc;i scheines by a 31i,.irder of State, by several Member' of both Houses of Parliament, and by eminent Bankers and 'Merchants of the City of London ; by ultich means the elector% of Sudbury were induced to believe hi n to be a gentleman of honour and independent fortune, and for that reaton to give him their support. And they the more deeply rewei in hitherto the borough of Sudbury has been represented by ho nourable and respecteble men. The next Resolution was, that a petition should be presented to the noose of Commons, praying that a rigorour inquiry should be Instituted Into Mr. tWilkee qual.ficatione, and also into the various joint-stock schemes devised by him, which appear to the Meeting to have been of a more censtirable description than those for which, in former times, several Members were expelled from their seats in the House. Mr. Beevartooe disclaimed all knowledge of the Resolutions previous to the present reading, and he felt alarmed at their iniro ductioa. Thz Resolutions were then put seriatim, and carried unani mously. Mr. JOxES then moved the appointment of a Committee, for carrying the Resolutions into effect, and that the present Chairman be Chairman of the Committee also. Carried unanimously. Six persons :were then appointed as the Committee, and, thank) having been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting separated. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. sin—As a conspiracy of no ordinary character has been formed I against me by certain individual., some of whose names are already before the public, and the remainder of whom will shortly anprar, and one of the modes of attack already adopted by the conspirators having been to call a meeting, yesterday evening, of Suri&try Fret-- men resident in London. of whom, however, to their creole be it said, only from 25 to 30 attended (although Mr. W. Clark, Messrs. Verbeke, Mr. Corrie, and Dr. Mitchell, were present. with other persons not freemen), and most even of whom voted at the electh - rt either wholly or partially against me, I write to request that, in case you insert In your paper any proceeding of such meeting, you will also insert this letter, in which I beg distinctly to state, that of me no freeman, resident or non-resident, has any reason to complain, either on the score of justice or liberality ; and that the statements made by:my enemies at the meeting, as reported to me by two free men present, were false, and only made at the instigation of persons against whom I am proceeding in the most summary and decisive manner, who themselves knew the statements made to be false.— ' 'rlie meeting of Sudbury Freemen was part of the plan of the con spirators, entered into at a private meeting held by them on Thurs day last at the office of the British Annuity Company. I avail myself also of this opportunity to state, that the report in the liforning Hrrahl and other papers of this morning, respecting the illegal and forcible entry on my premises in Broad-street, was Incorrect, partial, and in some points fabricated ; and as the hearing took place in the private room of the Lord Mayor, and no reporter was present, the account must have been supplied either by Mr. W. Clark or by the parties charged with illegal conduct. Accord ing also to the statement of Mr. Vcrbeke and Mr. Collie, the re porter of the Morning fiend-1 was engaged on -Saturday evening and on Monday in waiting with Dr. Mitchell in the adjoining house, hoping and anticipating that some disturbance might arise, and which, but for the temperar•.te of my friends and relatives, might indeed have taken place. I sin, Sir, your most obedient Servant, JOIIN WILLS, jun. 36, New Broad-street, Sept. 26, 1829. MARKETS. [From the London Nem Price Correot,Sept.26.l COFFEE.—There was no briskness in the Coffee sales last week; the prices were not much lower, but the buyers evinced no inch!. nation to purchase. There was much interest excited this morn. ing respecting the event of the public sales, As they were extensive, and consisted of nearly every description of Coffee : 316 casks 151 bags British Plantation; 1,120 bags Foreign. The latter con sisted of fair quality St. Domingo; good to fine ordinary Havan. nah, and some Brazil ; there were also some very good descriptions of Dominica and some fine Jamaica Coffee. We make the Coffee market generally Is. a 2s. lower, but the Plantation has gone off firmly, and generally the reduction appears to bring forward the buyers. St. Domingo sold at 50s. Gil. SUOA R.—The Sugar market was exceedingly heavy last week ; the sales were inconsiderable, and the buyers could purchase on terms a shade lower. The deliveries from the warehouse continue I extensive, fully keeping pace with those of last year; and, as we anticipated last week, the stock is beginning to lessen, compared with the quantity of 1825 ; yet the market opened heavily this morning, and up to a late hour the transactions reported were on a very limited scale. At the close of the day the purchases by private contract were estimated not to exceed 300 casks. The public side of Batbadoes went off Is. lower, but fully equal to the market prices. The Refined market was very heavy last week till the close, when the request for goods revived. The exporters were considerable purchasers; and the wholesale grocers for the home trade were also freely at market. The Refined market is particu larly heavy this morning, on account of the unfavourable intelli gence respecting the markets of the Continent ; yet the stock is so trivial that no reduction in prices has been submitted to; the wholesale grocers have also given up purchasing fur the home trade; Molasses 265. 6d. Foreign Sugars were heavy, and rather lower; good white Havannalt. which had been 465., fell to 415.; yellow, which had been 365., fell to 31s. a 31s. fal. TEA.—There is no alteration in prices since the close of the East India House sale, except Habeas, which are id. per,lb. higher. TOBACCO.—The purchases of Tobacco, for the week ending last night inclusive, are confined to shout 30 hhds. for export to Northern Europe, and sonic small par:els to the trade for imme diate use. There has been no new Tobacco yet in the market : there was one arrival yesterday, but it is not yet inspected. At a late hour to-day a small parcel of rich black 'Virginia was taken for export at 6id. a id.; a few Maryland Scrubs at 3ld. INDIGO.— Ihe demand for Indigo continues; about MO chests are withdrawn from the sale, on account of the considerable private purchases; picked parcels ,command prices Is. per lb. above the rates of the last sale. HOPS.—The market is now plentifully supplied with new Hops. The late picking is very favourable; Sussex 60s. a 831. ; Kent 844. a 945. HUSH PROVISIONS.—The Market has been in a state of inactivity until the result of this day's contract with the Govern ment shall transpire ; Bacon 61s. a liSa. ; Butters are heavy on account of the warm weather and the frequent showers. Govern ment Contract—The Contract for !ale@ casks of Beef and Pork was taken to-day by Messrs. Bell, Brothers, and Co. ; reported at 61. 12s. 6d. per tierce for both Beef and Pork, which is 23d. Gd. less him last season. t SPlCES.—Spices (with the exception of Pimento) are all heavy and lower. By Public Side on Friday 116 bags Pimento good qua- 1 lily 1113 d. and lid. RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market continues tn attract attention ; the purchases tat have transpired are 29 and 30 over 3s. 6d.; Leewards 7 over at 2s. trel.; I over 2s. 4d. 1 proofs at 2s. 3d. ; and one parcel Mrced off even below the latter price. Brandy and Geneva were without alteration. COTTON.—The transactions in Cotton since the India House sale have not been extensive ; the advance in the prices has been maintained. The following is the Report of the Friday's sale : Bengalis 4141 hales, 1931 Madras, anti 61.ra Surat+ ; from the lab. to about 900 bales were withdrawn. About one.third is estimated to be taken by the exporters, a small quantity by the trade. the re. mainder by speculators. The sale at the India llou•e this moms ing attracted great attention, and our anticipations that the Cottons were much wanted are fully realized • the advance is id. a Id. per lb. and the inferior descriptions are Id. a higher ; but ae usual ' where there is much speculative buying, the prices are very irre gular. To-day the Market is quiet, and with little appearance of business. (411. S.—The Oil Market has become heavy. Spermaceti, Repeal seed, and Linseed Oils are all to be purchased on rather lower terms On account of the change of the Market. It is difficult to give gooth'ions of Greenland Oil on account of the scarci:y, and alto that no decided accounts arc yet received respecting the Northern Fisheries. The late advance appears to be maintained. HEMP, FLAX. and TALLOW.—The prices of Tallow con tinue uncertain and fluctuating. Yellow Candle Tallow, which reached 40s. receded to 38s. and closed yesterday at 395. The de liveries for consumption average about 3000 casks weekly ; the de liveries of last week is about 990 trisks less than the corresponding week of list year. In Hemp or Flax there is no material alte ration. The price of Tallow at a late hour to-day was 395. Gd. -- The assignees of Messrs. Adamson, Johnston, and Co.
