11110 11 CHELSEA PETTY SESSIONS. There is no existing grievance mere serious, as affecting 111 clamor the community, than the condition of the poor g od the amount of the poor-rotes.

It is with a view to the general adoption of such au iustnutii n, that we aro &alms to semen the attention of the public to the r i ar ipk, as well as to the practical restrlts of the Petty S-ssiom estab'ishid about tweve months since in the parish of St. Luke's. Clulsea, arat which bas been attended with the most important benefits to that parish, both as to the efficient amendment of the system, nail t the dution of the previous rates, whit h had been levied unt re ler c exactly that cart cf delusive check and control ;which we have just described. It was originally recommended by the inhabitants at large, for th e . purpoist of giving greater ell esey to th e geutun u pr i nc iples and just administration of *iv poor laws within their district, and its reult within that short period lirs been to reduce their poor -rates from an assessment of 4s. 10d. to 2s. Oil., while the pJor then, se lr‘s are at prey t nt better provided for in every way than they were when tite rates were twice as burthensome. The fectle.aien who constitute the Session, aid who, much to their honour, perform the important and effective ditties of the situation, gratis, are, T. lloblyn, Esq. T. Bryan, En. and Capt. G. Aekloni, of the Royal Navy, to whom a 3 unanimous vote of thanks has been recently conveyed fox die Parochial Committee, for the able and exemylary swain which they have exerted themselves in promoting ex permanent ititer.sts of the parish, and for their disinte , mod discharge of the duties by which those interests are ▪ erreLve'y superintended. TILE• ORMONDE PROPERTY. It is extremely gratifying to remark the change which km keen produced in the value of landed property, owing to the improved state of the agricultural interest, and the in:ressing presverity which is spreading itself so rapidly throughout all lava of the united empire. The sale of the Ormonde property is a striking evidence of this. A report bad got abroad, that the Sutton llall Estate, which was sold to the wealthy Mr. Arkwright for 216.0001. had been parted with at much less than its value. We have reason to kcow that the reverse of this is the fact, and that the price procured for it exceeded its valuation by many thousand pounds. The aggregate of tie se Wes amounts to 482,4311., a sum mending by 230,0001. the amennt produced by any pro podever before submitted to auction, and full 80,0001. the expectation of the respectable valuers, the average being more than 40 years purchase upon a rack rent. Indeed, the rents were considered an high, that the tenantry required (and it was conceded to them), a deduc t:A of 25 per clit. in die years 1520, 1021, and 1840. The Chilcote Estate praluced 2,000!. a-year, and had ite tame deduction. During the agricultural distress it traduced 97,000!. being upwards of 43 years' purchase. rhe Coton Park Estate is let at 280/. a-year ; it was necked down to the sue:mired competitor for 12,800!. or 47 years purchase, and in no case throughout the whole sf the sales did ally estate mil at less than 40 years' pur t!tase, being an unequivocal evidence of an improvement is landed preperty of 10 years purchase with reference to my previous pales. The purchaser of Dawles Lodge Estate, near Andover, of SRI acres of wood land, was sold by Mr. George Robins delay following his Ormond: sales, to Mr. Thomas Gould, for 17,000 guineas, the timber to be paid for in addition. This G-ntleman was the bidder at 200,0001. fur the " Leviathan Lot" on the previous day ; it is said he was dAmt , d by Sir M. Lopes, Bert. A freehold house in lioeoln's Inn-fields, let on lease for 13J/. a-year (part of L.cdOnuondes property) sold for 4,313/. or 30 years' pur e me; it would therefore appear that houses as well as had are improving in an equal ratio. The Agent for the Duke of Devonshire was the bidder at 01400/. fur the estate purchased by Mr. Arkwright. The auction duty payable to Government out of these in is 14440/. Is% 5.1., a sum far 'vac:soling the amount paid to the Eatlse on any one sale since the otiiiin of ,anetiens. REIT TO KEEP (WT OF TEE GAZETTE.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Sta,—You have taken an active, but, I regret to say, not an unprijudiceal part, hi the question between Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Graham, and the creditors of their house, and you are one who Lave not acceded to the rea sonable request of these gentlemen, to suspend your judg ment to a future day. I am yet persuaded, that if you have been led into error yourself, or have been the instru ment of ntisleselina" others, you will not refuse to make that reparation which is demanded by equal justice. It has been its:erred by those who are ectuated more by a hostile feeling towards Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Gra ' ham, than by a reverent,: for truth, that because Mr. Fauntleroy was the managing partner, these gentlemen dad little else to do than to receive their shares of the pro -1 fits, and that they had been found grossly negligent, not I only of the general interests of the concern, but even of the ' interests of those individuals or public bodies, who, without any knowledge of Mr. Fauntleroy himself, had been at -1 tracted to the house by their intituacy or connection with the other partners. You cannot forget, Mr. Editor, that the Attorney-Gene nil, in his opening speech against Mr. Fauntleroy, stated, that Mr. Marsh had for sonic time past performed that part of the business of the banking-house, which consisted in receiving the dividends at the Bank of England ; and that it was peculiarly convenient that this department of the business should devolve upon him, as be lived in the country. Now, although the reasoning of the Learned Gentleman on this subject was not quite mei:site, inas much as it is not quite obvious, that because a gentleman lives thirteen miles from London, he is peculiarly fitted to discharge that duty, which can only be discharged in the heart of London itself; yet the fact, as far as it goes, re lieves Mr. Marsh's character from the stigma of bilenesi. Rut it remains due to Mr. Marsh to say, that it was not from any indifference to the interests of his friends, nor from any inclinaticn to self-indulgence, that he latterly withdrew himself from the more active cares of the house. Mr. Marsh, it cannot be concealed, was so unfortunate as to become indebted to that house in a very large stun ; ! and although Messrs. Stracey and Graham would naturally feel, in justice to their customers, that it was desirable that this slim should be replaced, it must yet be admitted, that something was due to the feelings of their senior partner ; but when this g...ntletnan found, at every visit to thehouse, that he was assailed by importunities anti harassed by de e marsis, which, he well knew, could never be complied i with, is it surprising, at his time of life, that lie should wish to withdraw, as much as possible, from the seine of suet inquietude ? and though* his parting address to ' his friends made little impression at the time, it has since become memorable by the prophetic spit it which in. spired it. Mr. Straeey has been charged with culpable negligence— with still more injustice. Ile will be fount', " by his exami nation on oath in December next," to have discharged, with great assiduity, the duties which the house allotted to him; so correct, indeed, have been his notions on the ne cessary re ciprucity beaween labour and compensation, that he felt it his duty, on the partial retirement of Mr. Marsh, as adove-mentioned, to propose that that gentleman should transfer to hint a portion of his profits, seeing that he (Mr. Straeev) was compelled to perform a portion of those du ties which had become so unpleasant to Mr. Marsh him self ; and although this 'lotion was met (and there are many prec: dents in favour of such a proceeding) by the prevtons question, in justice to Mr. Stracey it ought to be recorded. Net only was Mr. Stracey invariably attentive to the money-matters of the house, but be could not withhold his ae:sistance, even unasked, to strangers residing in foreign countries. Upon one occasion, having received informa tion that a considerable suto of unelaino d dividends, which had been already transferred to the Commissioners of the National Debt, vested of right in Madame de Choiseul, now Princess Polignae, he not only took the trouble to write to that Lady, but actually employed hi.. own Solicitor in the legal proceedings to establish her claitn. lie took the further trouble to procure from her a power of attorney, and was so attentive as to place the auvunt of the stock he sold out to her account in his bank ; and when, after some time, it became necessary to remit the money to Paris, he not only took the trouble to • u thia lady with the account of law proceedings, I r..kerage, Eta, but deducted their amount from the sum to be remitted ; he even went out of his way to apprise her, with what as a foreigner she might not be aware of, " that it was the practice of the London bankers to deduct b per cent. on the gross amount of stock acid, and of dividends to This account was drawn out in strict confor mity to the Gulden Bale, in • way equally creditable to the head and hand of Mr. Stracey ; ard a reference whin private account and to that of Madame de Choiseul, in Berners-street, will confirm the truth of this testimonial. Mr. Graham, as the Times very justly remarked, had been a military man, and be found, after some trial, that the sedentary occupations of a banking-house were not fa vourable to his general health ; he therefore selected that tort of the business of the Louse which required more bustle and ectivity. lie consented to convey into the City, from time to time, India Bonds and Exchequer Bills for et.nversilm, and there can he no doubt that, "on his exa mination on oath," he will be able to convince the cre ditors that this office was no sinecure. IVlten it is con sidered that Colonel Graham quitted the army and coin minced banker in pure compliance with the wishes of Mr. Ma.si.—that he centre:teal the sword, which had gained him so meet ham ur, into an inglorious penknife—it must be &induct' that Mr. Marsh might hare acted with more ferrite:wane:. When he discovered that the house was in advance a trilling SUM to Mr. Graham as well as to himself, he ought not to have allowed himself to use an expression t which, though it might not have been offensive to Mr. Graham when he was cornet of horse, was certainly inde corous when applied to a London Banker and the head of a fatuity. These little asperities, however, are to he found in the closest connections, and are not unusual even in the best regulattil !linking-hot:Nes ; but it is earnestly to be hoped that unity of interest unity of design will ensure these e Itleiticn the same gilts of fortune, and that tl:e large surplus, of which they hate assured the creditors, will enable them to surets:de the suspension of their pay ments, and ti resume business in their joint names, without that painful sei,aration which has teen proposed to Mr. &Limy (as 1.1:: himself declares) by Messrs. Hamlet and Attwocd. I am, Mr. Editor, Yours, Sec., B. • Mr. Marsh being cut-neatly importuned by his partners to re. ply. ran out Of the tOOll3, tael.dming—" We are all going to the D-1. that I see." - ---- t Mr. 31arsh lost his usual temper, on hearing that Mr. Gra ham had coi trieed to get 25,11001. from the house; he instantly cried out at tiratant—•• Very pretty this! to tease me to pay my debt, when ha has hero helping himself itt this rate." We are anxious to counteract the impression likely to result from a statement contrined in an account WC pub lished yesterday, respecting the proceedings of a Com mittee appointed by cone cf the creditors of the late banking house of Mush and Co. The statement to which we allude relates to a Gentleman of the highest respect*. hil;ty, named Burton. The account was furniAed by a leading member of the Committee, but we regret to find that it is materially incorrect, and, so far as regao di. Mr. Burton, wholly untrue in every particular. We have the best authority for giving this formal and positive contra diction to the groundlesa attack made upon this gentleman; and we cannot refrain from expressing our indignation at the shameful conduct of the party, who, under pre tence of furnishing us with a faithful report of the pro ce-tiings of the Committee, palmed his malignant false hoods 'upon us. lie has Arcady siii.rted for his libels upon private character, and be should take care lest he do not again deservedly sulf.e.

It is calculated that three hundred families have been hurntd out of their homes; and the has of property is variously estimated at from 155,0001. to 11•0,0001.—G:argora roper. THE BRITISH PRESS.

The Glasgow Herald of !Friday says—" This is the last day of the importation of Oats front the Baltic. The long continuance of westerly winds must have kept back a number of ships that were expected to be in good time ; and if the storms which we experienced on Saturday and Tuesday nights were equally violent in the North Sea, these vessels may have suffered considerably." Thursday forenoon, the high projecting cast-iron roof of that part of the Camlachie foundry used for moulding, stuldcnly gave way to the extent of 60 feet. There were twenty men at work at the time, and they had no intima tion of danger till the roof came down upon them. Their consternation was dreadful. Seme of them Gucci etleal in eff.cting their escape, but others were borne to the ground by the weight of the falling iron bars and tiles. Of those extricated from the ruins, one snail was found who had been driven below the windlass, and thus escape:l much persoiial injury. Another workman who was thought to have been kilted, was found safe, from the bars having fallen in such a manner as to form a sort of rampart over his body. A boy, who was buried among the ruins, was severely cut in the head and fret by the Iron rods. Only two of the men sustained serious injury. Several parts of the roof having formerly fallen iu, the workmen will not resume work till the roof lama:le secure.—Gluagrew Paper. Wedneolay morning, about three o'clock, the wright's shop in Mr. Win. Bennie's wood yard, Robertson -street, Glasgow, was discovered to he on fire. The alarm was in stantly given, and the fire-engines were soon •al the spot ; and along with about ninety of the workmen, made every exertion to stop the progress of the flames ; but from the strong wind, and the combustible nature of the materials, it was found impossible to save the building, which was two storys 14h, and it was totally consumed, along with the saw pit be'ow it. Thirty of the workmen have lost their tools of every description. Four pairs of large saws were spoiled, and a good deal of cut wood was also burnt. The lots will amount to between I,auo/. and 1,800/. The premises are insured. On Monday last a man, named Bevis, a butcher, el rytnpton, stayed from Plymouth, to accomplish a similar task to that which Skipper has 'mat completed, namely, So miles for 20 eneeessire days.

Time was no use in telling him of the understanding of the Senod of Scodattd, unless they told hint alga of the understandiee of the deed.

What tee Syned was to do. was one thieg—what a Judge was te do was se . o her ; but of this he was sure, that unless they were governed Ly temper, guided and controttled by religious feelings, more itelury would be done to them then the Court could by any !vo l itive, relieve He stheled id the fun st extern by the doctrine eatelet to is this case, as laid down by, the pious: of lends; but the question ass, how fa it was applicable to give the Come jurisdiettoe lad enable it to act.

The Court of King's Bench, for instance, would rot allow any man to do what he had no right to do ; it would not allow him to breaks prounseof marriage: but cuhl it say it was a spiritual uffeece ? M:. Pelage—This very Church owes its existence tea trateme nue like the present--the suspenshei of a Sinister. A Mr. Ers kine was suspended. To this (-tenet:sr nee the Church was indebted for its existetwe; and it stay be related to this very dime; but in this anhir all the incident, of the present proceeding were warned. The Synod of that day did not apply to the Civil Courts; they did not require their assistance; they suspended their clergymin in the rear 1743. He, as in the pros tot case, ke u t posseesion of his pulpit ; his congregation supported him, He (Mr. C.) laid well cress on this case. 11 the Synod of the present day hod acted a ith as much prudence and moderation as the litrater one, the matter would hen been hushed, and that Hall would not have heard I wad of the natter. It was known to the Cour, that when the Attereey-lie neral filed a bill, et the suit of the relamr, for the oupeor cf a trust, all the parties elerild be in Chin, but, as the ensent bill was filmed, this was by no meats the case. To show the nature of the suseention to which he had alluded. he would read some ex tracts from the work of Mr. Charles Butler, a prisms tateriy art_ consumed with these vets. The Leaned (lend-men read from Mr. Ilutler's book, that in the year 1732, many Ministers aldressed the General Assembly on the defect% of their religious sentem. The Meeting refused to receive this address. Many other e'en:yawn joined in the petition ; aniongst them the Rev. Ezekiel Ertkire was distinguished fir his boldness Ho protested against a sentence of surpeesion passed upon himself and others, and sepeoled. Tice sen tence was confirmed, and he was ordered to be retetked aid nisbed. They did not suspend the pastor; they did not thearoy his future energies sod us:fullness; they did not make him the Mint for scorn to point the slow unmoving finger at ; they eid rot blest his future dart; they did not send delegates elet mike to is sr the thunder of their sentence ; they did not act as the ptesteet Synod. Upon this ewer-tine Church depended ;it hung upon it. ur it hung mien nothing. Mr. Erokint and four other Ministers were sus. routed. The Synod did not eon in the civil power; the parties retained their pulpits, is spite, not alone of suspension, Lit of actual deprivatiott. The Synod did not appeal to the arm of the civil law; they felt themselves a mere Ecclesiat Lai Court, rt C' r:aian Assemblage, and they would reject the arm of the civil Itw if it were offered. It was said that the power of the Synod seas fesinded upon custom ; but it should not be forgetten nest this enstom stinuhl be reasonable, consistent, and just. Custom, with regard to tide!, was alter pleaded, but it was not allowed itn,il it iseto proved to possess these qualities.

'lle- Synoi held their ord.:runt, it was to be recollected, in the evening ; it was not fur him to remind his Lordship, that gent:eaten will do man? things in the evenly got which they will be ashamed in the nerning. If business were trarotacted in the moraieg, the partite scull to general take s-are that the premises would be such as shceid bear cut the conclusion. These peelers had declared that the conduct of Mr. Fletcher was aggravated by the expressions he had thrown oat against the Synod. It was, of course, a most unteasonahle thing for his client toga from one tribunal to another, and yet this Symen do the very same thing. Here the Learned Gentleman cnntrasted the toeduct and demeanour of the old Synotinin re and to Mr. En tine. with the line adoptee by the present Sync ; , in the case '.l Mr. Fletcher. The old Synod vu temperate and well-reed:stied in its proceedings; but things, it seems were altered. 'We had row a steam-engine mode of Inquiry ; justice was now to be administeted per sal tem The recieeedines of this Synod were not to Iv exceed. ed by those of thee-ar Chamber in its worst day ; they cut-140 , 61d every thing of witich he had ever heat& ((this were Seeeh jus• nee, be fervently pray.d that it mi g ht b e never k nown i n Eegfand. He would once more remind his Lordship of the othens can upon the character of lilt, Fletcher; his usefulness in the ministry was sought to be destroyed; he was shut out from the benefits of his office. Surely before these consequences were allowed to hike place, it should be inquired whether the cuttom which sere:lore-3 them were reamoraele end just. The Great Seal pbcold no; be ;raided by the doubtful and speculative opinions which intluenend the Syrol ; it would be governed by principles of law sod ;notice. How colthi any custom, such as this, be just, ressonehle, and eonsinnet with itself? Mr. Fletcher is condemned unheard, without the stosistnree of an advocate; nay more, the very party who cempleiree s; him by law, wee present amongst his judges, lie the pre. settee of this individuri wee denied. He might not there per sonally, but he .su most certainly .here in smr.t. lie would teem more remind this church of what it misdeal", was, and he world refer to high authority to which they k-cw they all deferred. He admitted tee Synod of Scotland, as shady, to consist of comprising the highest ornaments of literature in that cotten7 in :hit point cf nen they were entitled to the exist urquelified so. miratton ; but he felt himself willed upon to denounce, in the AC. vercst manner, this single set of their conduct ; it was upon this part of the case his Learned 'Mends opposite had the veil ; in so doirg they had acted wisely ; but it was his date to remove this veil. He demanded discussion; he challenged inquiry; he eskeil that which every panel was *stifled in requiring; he ' , ought that cf which no (clots, hoverer degraded, could be deprived; he called upon the opposite many to produce a copy of his client', whams., to see if he were not entitled to hit I I ol•esie Corpus. This must not be 'clotted ; it was not sufficienst to say that his client was guilty ; this was not the conduct of the Synod ; this MU not the way in which :hey acted ; in so doing they had. he was ready to admit, done vrately—discreetly ; but thee had not done jitstice.
