1 • , -.CIIT.M6II.IIATfg. AT a MEETING of the, COMMITTEE of 4 . " The PROTESTANT SOCIETY for the PROTEC ,.,7I°N of RELIGIOUS LIBER TY, h e ld at t h e King ' s Head averm, Poultry. London, March 27, 1937, JOHN WILKS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, It was unanimously Resolved, 1. That this Committee, connected with several hund r ed Con tregations i n England and 'Wales, after repeated and strenuous ef forts to obtain relief, by the total Abolition of Church-rates, and after their former expressions of regret that they could not accept that relief on the conditions successively proposed by Lord Althorp and Sir Robert Peel (though both those Statesmen, and the Ad ministrations with which they were connected, admitted the pro priety of such relief, and desired its bestowment) now hail, with gratitude and delight, the Plan proposed by his Majesty's Govern ment, for imparting the much-needed benefit, by means to which similar, or any reasonable, objections cannot be applied. 2. That this Committee have observed with sorrow, though not , with surpris,,, that to frustrate the wise, just, and conciliatory mea- Rue proposed, means have been extensively adopted, which pru 4ence, liberality, and truth must condemn—by concealing the vast Portion of enlightened Churchmen, who have implored such reform --I " , v under- ra ti ng the number and importance of the Dissenters in tngland and Wales—by attributing to them sordid motives and an hostility to the Church, which they entirely disclaim—by misre presenting the Plan as destructive to the Episcopal Establishment --as subversive of all Parish Churches, and as unfriendly to the F ra tuitous acconur. o d a ti on an d future piety of the Poor ; which th e lan will, on tb . e cont r ary, obviously and greatly secure, perpetuate, and Promote---by obtaining hostile . Petitions from small and Agri cultural Di , .,tritts, through misrepresentation and power—by falsely asserting a. similarity between Church-rates and Tithes—and by ! t PPealirg to the ignorance, and jealousy, and prejudices, and self 14.,ter&5t PT the untaught population, rather than to Christian cha r ity 84 Q, weri-instructed zeal. That notwithstanding such efforts, the Committee rejoice to Jrueive, that, according to the last return, published by the House of Commons, the number of Petitions in favour of Abolition Astiount e d to 474, and the signatures to 190,981, whilst these hos tile petitions were only 153, and the signatures to them did not exceed 9,595—and their convictions are strong, that in proportion as discussion continues, and information iS spread, the vast majority of Electors and the People will perceive that Church-rates must cease, and can be no longer enforced—that nothing can be more fair than that the expense of the Established Worship should be de frayed, as proposed, by an improved administration of ECclesiastical l o unds—that the Agricultural Population s h ou ld b e re li eve d, h ere as in I re l an d, from a needless local taxation, superfluously and harshly imposed—and that the improvement meditated, rich in ge neral utility, must ere long be attained. But 4. That, however assured of eventual success, this Committee are.not insengible to the Party feelings and interested motives, that may obstrtrct and delay the result ; and therefore pledge them ", I ,ves ll 3 'unremitting labours in a cause w hi c h" th e i r pr i nc i p l es an d JluglYtent approve—invite all the friends of social peace and reli- R l ma freedom through the Empire ' to exertions equal to the exi e'.3 and the e n d— an d ex p ress t o his Majesty's Government their I"l'lnication and respect for the noble course they have pursued ; and e.ntreat them - , by prompt and energetic proceedings in support of their plan, to confer on their country a boon, that shall a d to the esteem and attachment, which, by the Abolition of Slavery, by P arliamentary and Municipal Reform, and by other great and me morable measures—they have rightly obtained ; and so further en sin e to themselves the imperishable homage which Posterity through future ages, will gladly bestow.

After weighing, the signal for starting was given, when Mr. Sey mour's mare took the lead, followed by Conservative. There Was some excellent riding, but on reachirig the brook several of the riders got thrown. Perrin, the winner, was thrown three times, but he came in at an easy pace, followed by Con servative and Patience; the rest were not placed. The fenc ing was done in a sportsmanlike manner. On returning from the field of action the riders as well as their steeds presented a most ludicrous sight, for none of them appeared to have cleared the brook; and, the day being cold, the water no doubt cast a damp on their spirits. After the company re turned from the chase, a large company of sportsmen and tradesmen of Aylesbury dined at the George Hotel. The chair was most ably filled by Mr. Churchill, under whose able superintendence the wine-cup and the song went round among the lovers of the chase, &c. DUTIES ON FOREIGN CORN. Wheat 3Ps. Bd.

On Friday we gave a paragraph from the Gazelle of la Chapelle, which stated that the dead body of Z tun, the notorious robber of Cologne, surnamed the Carto uc h e o f Cologne, had been found in a sack, and that it was sup posed he had been murdered. The journal de la llay c contains the following particulars respecting this daring and adroit robber :—The town of Cologne and its environs were fur some years subjected to the depredations of Henri Zaun, who has always contrived to evade the researches of the police. Henri Zaun was a tailor ; he is a man of small stature, and there is no indication abaut him of that auda city and vigour of which he has given so many proofs. In 1830 Zaun was condemned to hard labour iv the Court of Assize of Cologne for a robbery ; but he con trived to escape from prison the same night, and for se veral months he got a living by swindling and robbery. He was, however, again taken, and this time he was sentenced to hard labour for life ; and to prevent his escape, his hands were confined by a bar of iron rivetted to two hatylcuffs. He soon got rid of the handcuffs, and the bar of iron became an instrument of deliver ance. He. forced the bars of the windows, got to the roof, reached the chapel of the prison, and by means of some netting, which had been hung up to dry, he descended to the street. He was still in his prison dress, but he went on to the next village, broke open the door bf the Pres bytery, and took some clothes belonging to the priest, and also a sum of money which he found in the wardrobe, leaving his prison clothes in exchange. From thence he went to Dusseldorf, where he committed a great many rob beries, and the town being almost too hot to hold him, he resolved to go to Holland ; and with a view to greater se curity in travelling, he had taken his measures to steal the passport of an Englishman who resembled him, but before he could carry this idea into effect, he was recognised and at rested. • When again transferred to the prison of Cologne be was . cluibed in a peculiar dress, half grey , and half yellow, hea vily ironed, and a bell attached to an iron collar in such a way that it rang at every movement. Evasion seemed im possible ; but; nevertheless, he managed,to escape, having found means to file his irons, and descended by a wall. Once more free, he re-commenced his operations even in Cologne. In vain the police set in motion all their efforts ; Zaun, with a fresh disguise every day, at one time a Priest, then as a workman, and afterwards as a woman, eluded their pursuits. One day he wrote to the Procurcur du Roi, telling him that he should have the ho .our of pre senting himself at his house to commit a robbery. This set all the police agents in motion ; and Zaun, knowing that they would all be busy elsewhere, on the same evening went to the house of the Chaplain of the prison, and, after robbing the house, left a note thanking him for having confessed him while in prison. Upon another occasion, Zaun went to a restaurateur's, placed him self at the same table with the President of the Court of Appeal, got into conversation w►th him, and on retiring gave a polite bow, which Was graciousl rctuined by the President, and left under his cover a card, on which Henri Zaun was written. In short, we should have to relate a thousand adventures if we mentioned . all his exploits at Co logne. He was subsequently arrested a fourth time, placed in a narrow cell, his hands and feet chained, and confined by an iron ring, attached to the wall, placed round his waist. Nevertheless, he escaped for the fourth time ; but . it would seem, by the account given by the Gazette (/ Aix-la-Chapelle, that his career is now at an e►►d, unless ►t should turn out that the placing the dead body there, with papers, to make it be believed that it was his body, was his latest ingenious device to deceive the police. Monday, no fewer than sixty .German or Italian broom girls landed at Dover, from Ostend. A shoal of porpoises, nearly half a mile in extent, was seen to pass our harbour on Tuesday afternoon last, making to the southward, whence the knowing ones prognosticated a storm, a contrary direction in the course of these creatures, in dicating fine weather. They were the largest we ever remem ber to have seen.— Whitehaven Herald. -- The Cumberland mountains at mid. day yesterday were so beautifully outlined that spectators at 5( - ) miles distance could distinguish every hnoll and ridge; brown and white lent the same relief to Skiddaw, Saddleback, and Helvellyn that light and shade do to a picture, and the effect was height ened by 'the contrast between summits frowningly bare, and clefts into which snow had been swept to the depth perhaps of a dozen or twenty feet. Of the fields and gardens WU may well say in the words of Thomson__" How dead the ve getable kingdom lies, how dumb the tuneful." The pastures were never barer, and where the outrie cattle have no resource beyond their own powers of patient nibbling, it is difficult to conceive how they subsist at all. As the moon happened to be full on the 22d curt. ; when the sun crossed the line, there were persons who dreaded a change of some sort, and the event, we must say, has justified the prediction. —Dumfries Courier. ARCHERY. The fraternity of St. George met at the Old Archery Grounds, Bayswater, for the first time this season, on Tuesday last, to contend for the Captainship and Lientenantship of the club, and notwithstanding- the high wind, the scoring through out the day was excellent ; but the strong bows and heavy arrows had decidedly the advantage. - The, Captainship was won by Mr. Forsyth, the Licutcnantship by Mr. Betty, the once celebrated actor. We understand that Mr. C. C. has undertaken, for a bet, to walk, or run, from the King's Arms, Blackman -street, over London, Bltckfriars, and Westminster bridges, and three times round St. Paul's, and return to the King's Arms, within one hour. The time is fixed from six to seven o'clock to-morrow morning. Heavy bets arc pending. It is understood the money is to Le given to the Asylum for decayed Publicans. MR. EDWIN FORREST ON ENGLISH CRITICS AND ENGLISH AUDIENCES. Some of our ContemporarieS hare published extracts of .i letter from Mr. Forrest to the Editor of Tee New York Plain Dealer of the 11th of February ; but that part of the• letter which appears to 'us the most interesting has been omitted, and therefore we give insertion to the fol lowing extracts, which show the actor's study of his pro fession, as well as his discrimination between English and American audiences : " The London Press, as you probably have noticed, has been divided concerning my professional merits; though as a good Republican I ought _to be satisfied, seeing I had an overwhelming majority on my side. There is a degree of dignity and critical preciSion and force in their articles gene rally (I speak of those against me, as well as for me, and others, also, of which my acting was not the subject), that place them far above the newspaper criticisms of stage perlor mane,:s which we meet with in our country. Their comments always show one thing—that they have read and appreciated the writings of their chief dramatists ; while with us there are many who would hardly know, were it not for the actors,. that Shakspeare had ever existed. The audiences, too, have a quick and keen perception of the beauties of the. drama. They seem, from the timeliness and proportion of their applause, to possess a previous knowledge of the text. H They applaud warmly but seasonably. They do not inter rupt a passion, and oblige the actor to sustain it-beyond the propriety of nature ; but if he delineates it forcibly and truly, they reward him in the intervals of the dialogue. Va- Haiations from the accustomed modes, - though not in any :palpable new readings, which for the most part are bad readings, for there is generally but one mode positively cor rect, and that has been left for us to discover ; but slight changes in emphaSis, tone, or action, delicate shading and pencillings are observed with singular and most gratifying quickness. You-find, that your study of Shakspeare has not been thrown away ; that _your attempt to grasp the character in its " gross and scope," as well as in its details,. so as not merely to know how to speak what is written, but to preserve its truth and keeping in a new succession of in cident', could it be exposed to them—you find-that this ;s seen and appreciated by the audience ; and the evidence that they see and feel is given with an emphasis and hearti ness that make the Theatre shake. " I have been studying Richard the Third with the in tention of producing it during my next engagement in Lon don. My notions of the character do not accord with those of the players I have seen personate it. Kean did not make him gay enough in his earlier scenes, but too sullen., too frOwning, too much of an outside villain. Richard was an- exulting and a dashing, not a moody villain. The 'bright reward' at which he aimed dazzled his eyes too much to enable him to contemplate very thoughtfully the nature of the means by which he proposed to win it. Success followed upon his sudden schemes too rapidly, and gave him too much undissembled elation, to reconcile my mind to the propriety of the haggard and penthouse aspect which he is usually made to wear, from first to last. Con tempt for mankind forms a stronger feature of his character than hatred, and there is a sort of reckless, regal jollity, a species of joyous audacity, which I do not think has been made conspicuous enough in the personations of the part which I have seen. When remorse does come—. that juggling fiend'—the contrast produced in Richard's bearing gives an opportunity for some fine effects, and all the finer for being reserved to their proper time."

Chelmsford Chronicle. LIVERPOOL C OTTO N MARKET, MARCI I 28. -We h ave h a d a fair deman d f or C o tt on to -d ay. T he S a l es are 3,000 ba gs , at improving prices, SPAIN. Fram the Morning Chronicle.) We are indebted tv a highly-informed staff-officer of the British Legion in Spain for the following intelligence, upon the strict accuracy of-whicli our readers may place the ut most reliance. ST. SEBASTIAN, MARCH .21.—You will have heard, ere this reaches you, of our three considerable actions with the enemy, in the two first of which we were successful, but not so in the last, on the 16th ;. nevertheless, our loss on the latter occasion was by no means so great as that of the Car lists, ours amounting to 800, while . theirs is stated at 1,60tL Whatever this may. have, been,' they unreservedly acknow, ledge a loss of 2,200 in-.the three actions, while ours did not exceed, in, all, 1,600 or 1,700, including a large propor tion of slight wounds. On the 15th our success was very brilliant. We went out for the purpose of saving SaarS-' field's coi is d'arhreo from being compromised in his march to form a junction with this corps ; but he retreated, with out the possibility of making u; acquainted with his inten tion,' and thus enabled the rebels to concentrate and direct their whole force against us. Notwithstanding which, had our troops conducted themselves with steadiness, we should with ease have defeated them ? so strong were our positioni. We had not in our lines above 9,000 bayonets, the enemy above 14,000 or 15,000, A great part, of • our troops. did not maintain the character th•CY:haVe hitherto acquired, but fell into confusion ; and so much were they inter mixed, one regiment with soother, and such numbers of Spaniards as well as English had gone to the rear without the slightest excuse, that though the. attacks of the enemy were at length repuhied., yet it was - dcemed: necessary to relinquish what we had Conquered , on the , precedier , day, and resume - our previous positions. And- here I Must observe, .that fighting with troops on whom one cannot rely is by no means a Comfortable occupation! Our General, who has certainly met with what may be called a reverse, must prepare to be censured, however unjustly ; but I believe that Saarilield will, in the public estimation, have the largest share of blame. We went out to cover him from the danger of a false and more than hazardous movement, Which he 'as sured us-he had determined to make we, therefore, risked being attacked by the whole of the factious army rather leave him exposed to the same force. But, in the mean while, and contrary, it is said, to his positive assurances, he had retreated, leaving us in the very predicament from which we were anxious to save him ! However, the results, take them altogether, arc, probably, unfavourable to the faction. We retain the commanding position of the Ametza ; they have lost in killed and wounded a much" larger number than we have, and more irreparab'y for them. They are now obliged to leave a larger. force be fore us (14 battalions) than heretofore. , The central po sition possessed by the enemy gives them all their advan tages, and rnany they are. The campaign was to have be gun after the junction of Saarsfield's corps and ours ; and had it so commenced, all the combinations and .efforts of the Carlists would have proved unavailing. Saarsfield• must be reinforced to enable him to pass the defiles in pos session of the enemy between this and Pamplona. Five British battalions would finish the war ! I understand that it is intended shortly to again disturb the rebel forces, but with such caution as will serve to occupy them without ex posing us in the slightest degree to accident. Every da mage done the faction here diminishes their power of at tacking the other corps. As to the affair of the 16th, we had every reason to suppose that the Spanish General was operating against the enemy, and our dispositions were made for attack, not for defence ; thus our . position, - though strong, became too far extended. But even this would have been easily remedied, had some of our troops conducted themselves in a manner which 'now makes them heartily ashamed of their conduct. Our loss was not very considerable : about 800 - the last day. The Legion lost 500 in the three days ; but 200 will return to duty shortly. At present it does not consist, of more than 3,500, including commissioned officers. I will just add, that bad not the four regiments in reserve on the left given way to three bat talions of the enemy, the affair would have had a very dif ferent result." • " GENERAL ORDER. " 19th March, 1837, " SOLDIERS !—Your gallantry in the memorable days of the 10th and 15th instant, at the same time that it filled me with admiration and enthusiasm, inspired me with un bounded maim - ice in you, and with the . certainty that you would march on from victory to victory ; and this confidence has not. been removed by the results of the occurrences of the 16th inst—because troops who are capable of conducting themselves with so much bravery can never fall into a state of - indiscipline in 'consequence of a momentary reverse. , " I repeat that your General has the same confidence in you ; and that he hope.; to be able, within a short space of time, to give you an opportunity of exceeding your own gallant deeds of the 10th and 15th instant. On the 10th you forced the enemy's lines in front of Alza with the ut.•• Most bravery and good order. During the whole of that day you repelled the repeated attacks of the enemy against our left flank with a firmness which reflects additional bril liancy upon the Spanish arms, and especially upon the chiefs who comn7anded that part of our line. On the 15th you co vered yourselves with glory ;.the gallant regiment of La Prin cesa, under the command,of its brave Colonel;'Llanos, charg-. ing on tile left, took the heights and the foa is of Oriamencl,i at the point 'of the bayonet ; and the sth division took the for tified houses and the Fort of the Vent aby the right. That day is worthy of commemoration among the most glorious for the Spanish arms,- and sour country had additional rea sons for gratitude towards the chiefs, officers, and troops ; and 1 beg that the excellent commandant-general, and the chiefs of -the -5 th division, of the vanguard, and of the- British auxiliaries—GeneralsJaureguy, Itendon, and Chichester— to communicate to me the names of those who most distin guished themselves upon that occasion. " The considerable roinforeenrie s nt 'received by the enemy placed him in a situation to deprive us of the palm of vic tory 24 the moment when it was almost within our reach. On our right the enemy was driven back, and we kept our position with honour ; but on our left he obtained a partial success, and I deemed it expedient to fall back upon our former poSitions, keeping possession of the whole of the ground which we had gained on the right bank of the Urumea. Thus the fruits of the victory of the preceding day rare lost. So useless is valour when order and discip line are boat sight of. The first duty of chiefs is to watch over and to cause! to be observed with the most careful at tention these most essential points, ; to those chiefs, there fore, I address myself ; holding - themselves responsible for the most rigid observance of subordination and discipline in their respective corps; which, if they be maintained in the field, ensure victory ; whilst, if neglected, the opposito result is inevitable. " The soldier •is never so formidable as when he is called 'upon to vindicate his honour. Let then, once more march on .vard to the combat, and show that we ure worthy soldiers of liberty! Let him Who is not animated with these sentiments separate himself from our ranks ; for your General does not choose to be surrounded by any but those who arc resolved to conquer. (Signed) " DE LACY EVANS." " GENERAL ORDER. '• San Schattian, March 21. " The Lieutenant-General avails himself of the present brief interval in the operations to address the Legion on those of the last few days. " On the 10th, 13th, and 15th instants of the present month, your courage and good order at once merited -his highest approbation and inspired him with unlimited con fidence in victory. Nor has that confidence been impaired by your less steady conduct, and the less fortunate results of the 16th instant ; because he can trace these results to causes not likely again to occur. On the loth you at tacked in three columns the formidable position of the Ametza—fthe enemy fled in dismay, as 'they will always do when you march straight at them with the bayonet, atten tive to the orders of your officers, and without stopping to fire. The 9th, 10th, and Rifles led on this occasion in a manner worthy of the distinguished character of those corps. On the 13th the Rifles, 4th, and Bth, and the British Royal Marines, crossed the Urumea, and rapidly drove the enemy from . the village of L o y o l a an d th e a djacent heights. " O n the 15th, notwithstanding the inclemency of the. weather, and the almost impracticable state of the country. victory again crowned your efforts. The whole of the. enemy's fortified 'positions and the fort of Oriamendi fell into Onr possession ; in accomplishing which you took a brilliant part. The Ist, 9th, and 10th, and rifles, were par ticularly conspicuous, in conjunction With the Princesa re giment, in carrying the enemy's last position, - under a heavy fire, and without returning a shot. " 'On.the 16th, when on the eve of following up our suc cess by a still more signal operation, the enemy received large reinforcements. Our troops, fatigued from their ex traordinary exertions on the preceding days, and attacked by a superiority of numbers, retired on the extreme left in some degree of disorder, imagining that they were in danger of being cut off by a movement of the enemy to their rear— while it was the enemy, if our troops had better preserved order and discipline, who would have been probably de stroyed. The position we were on was of the strongest natint, and one of which the -enemy could. not have: de- /. dr privect you ; but wh en n ( lose thick formation, or separate from their companies or battalions, or are inattentive to the .voice of-command, valour becomes useless, and every other advantagt . neutralised. This was signally proved by ycur General being induced, in consequence of the irregularity alluded to, to withdraw the force to their forwer positions,, at a moment when the enemy's attack was repulsed at all points.' " unshaken firmness of - the Britisis lloval Marivcs tinder Lieut.-Col. Owen, in repuisin, as they did, •four times their number, afforded you a noble oNruni:l e o 1 th e ir resistible force of military organization and discipline which 'the Lient.-General feels confident on 'future occasions 3:;12 will be proud to emulate. ‘ The-corps which during these different operations die tinatiished them.selves, wer:N—the "British Royrl and Le gionary Artillery-, the Ist Fencers, and the (ith, 9th, and RifleS. " Thus a portion of the fruits of our previous snecc:,s.s were:relinquished, the whole 7f the faction having concen trated to resist us ;hut the enetry-have 'suffered an immense loss, a loss far more sevcra and! irreparable than curs, and has spread terror through their x antis. • " But a check in your career, of victory, though it may fir a moment obscure, cannot ob literate the fame of former deeds of bravery, and particular' y that of the filtectith in stant—en achievement of rhiclr. the best soldiers of any army might.be proud, and one, ton,. which your General assures you will, ere long, be foilqwed by others wh"ch will ivin for you the admirattou of E t gland, and the gratitude of Spain.
