Os of great oppression and annoyance to postmasters, but not so great an evil by far as that which now threatened them. —(Hear.) Before making this arrangement Government issued a number of circulars, which were sent to all parts of the kingdom, calling for returns as to the number of horses, &c., used in the trade. Although nine thousand such circulars were issued, only five thousand were re turned with the necessary information, and 'the result was that Government had not sufficient data upon which to found a measure for the regulation of the tax upon post horses. From the returns it would appear that 20,000 horses only were employed, but that was far below the real number.—( Hear.) Mr. H. GRAY Hon. Secretary) said ; that there was no disposition on the part of the Committee to prevent any person being present at this meeting, although' there was reason to believe that they had some enemies, and that, in fact, the transfer of the collection of the duties had been brought about by the intrigues of some interested persons. —( Hear.) He then proceeded to read the report of the Committee, of which the following is On abstract : " In the first place, your Committee wish to satisfy your minds Oat you will be perfectly safe in letting without a license, as it is provided by the 83d clause of the 2d and 3d of William IV., that the trade residing -within the bills of mortality, the parishes of Marylebone and St. Pancras,. must apply to the authorities in Broad-street, according to their advertisement, on the Ist of February next ; and those who reside elsewhere must apply to the supervisors and excise officers of the district in which they reside. You arc therefore safe until then. It has been stated that you should keep counterparts of the tickets, and that they will be numbered ; but neither of these things is required by the Act ; if they were, they would be exceedingly vexatious regulations, and almost impracticable, in consequence of the urgent nature of our business, and the tickets being fre quently wanted in the middle of the night. Again, if the tickets are not obtained . before the Ist of February, the trade will be obliged to stand still till next year. By the instructions of the Board of Excise to their officers, they are desired to examine your Excise-office weekly account three times a-week at least, or oftener, if deemed neces sary, and for every refusal to permit them you are liable to a penalty of 201. The trade was subjected to no such annoyance under the post-horse duty farmers. The officers are also desired to post or transfer each and every entry you make in your Excise-office weekly ac-; count, since their last visit, into a scheme prepared for the purpose, but which is not authorized by law, and would, if enforced, cause considerable interruption to the trade, inasmuch as during the period the officer might be at the desk copying the same it would be almost impossible to some cases, and quite so in others, to transact the business, for it too frequently occurs that even individuals in the com mon walks of life will not communicate while a second person is present, and in the higher circles many would leave the place, and very probably not return ; so that when ladies and gentlemen become aware that their names and move ments arc daily registered in a public office, the injury to the trade will be most serious. The Excise officers zkre also desired to take an account of the tickets once a fortnight, and in case of deficiencies you will have to pay ls, for every horse. As this instruction is legal, care must be taken not to lose or mislay the tickets, for no account of tickets has ever been taken, with the exception of the Mid dlesex district. The Excise-officers are further directed to take up lid. a-mile there and back, or one-fifth part of the sum charged, on distances performed beyond eight miles and back, as is shown in an example given them of a journey to Kingston and back, which is twelve miles. The charge is 15s. ; for one horse they are to take 3s. duty, which of course would be Gs for a pair. If this plan be carried out, the expense will increase with the distance ; but the Act of Parliament states, one-fifth part of the sum charged, or the option of paying for every day, not exceeding three days, the sum of 2s. Gd. It. is quite clear that Govern ment never intended that more than 2s. Gd. should be charged for a day or distance beyond eight miles and back. In Middlesex, Kent, and Surrey, a greater sum had never been exacted by the farmers of the post-horse duty. The officers are also desired, where a pair of horses goes the distance of seven miles at Is. Gd., to set down the charge at 10s. 6d., to take 25., whereas the duty is only 3d. a mile,' which is Is. 9d." Mr. RUTLAND said lie understood that the new regu lations would not be enforced without allowing sufficient time and notice to the trade. In fact, the district sur veyors of Excise would be ready to afford every facility and convenience, and to indemnify the trade against any damage. Mr. GRAY thought it would be impossible for the Ex cise-officers to indemnify them against the consequences of not producing their tickets to the toll-keepers, who would act upon the letter of the law, and demand Is. 9d. per horse.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CASS had hoped that the trade would experience no inconvenience, after the interview which a deputation 'ofthe society had had with Mr. S. Rice, who promised that they should not be subjected to any Excise inquisition, or increase of duty, or any inconvenience whatever—a pro spect that did not now seem likely to be realized.—( Hear.) A Gentleman wished to know upon what ground the committee hed reported that those who were in the habit of hiring post horses Would feel annoyed at the regulations ? Mr. GRAY teplied, .because it was required that evagy person applying for a single horse, or a pair of horses, should give his name, address, designation, and destination. In fact, it would he considered by the public as a system of espionnage.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. POWELL, of Murrell-green, reprobated the proposed system, and declared that he would resist it. Mr. CLARK, of Windsor, complained of the manner in which the trade had been treated by the Government, but thought that if the postmasters h a d b een more unan i mous they Would not have been trampled on as they had been. He would Inwe that a deputation be appointed to wait on the Commissioners of Excise to point out the absurdity and impracticability of the proposed - regulation. Mr. , BURBIDGE, of Gravham, most cheerfully seconded that . motion. Mr. WORSOP, of Ortinlntry-hill, Hunts, regretted that they should be compelled to have reconrse to these measures after the promises made by Mr. Spring Rico that nothing vexatious to them should he attumeted.--( Hear.) Mr. DIXON remarked that there was certainly much ground for complaint. Mr. F. T. Baring most distinctly said that Government was exceedingly anxious to get rid of the ticket system, and that the trade should be relieved from every annoyance that fettered it. Mr. NEWMAN said, that he was one of a deputation which Waited upon Mr. Herries, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that the one-fifth specified in the schedule of the Act then under discussion was intended to mean one fifth of the fare paid by persons who engaged post-horses for journies under eight miles, and that it was never in tended to bear the construction put upon it by the Excise Commissioners. The presence of Excise officers, not al ways the most genteel persons either in manners or appear ance, would have the effect of deter6ng the nobility and gentry from posting at all, for it was neither pleasant nor convenient to be watched in that way Wherever they went. It was well known that the extraordinary efforts made in this country to transfer persons and intelligence with a ra pidity almost unheard of in any other land had tended to raise its character and importance in the commercial and political world, and it was neither generous nar wise in any Government to allow restrictions to be established which would most certainly curtail those exertions, and put con tinual checks upon urgent business.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN, in putting the motion, thought it was the most prudent course they could take At present. if the Commissioners of Exeiso del not listen to their respectful remonstrances, then they would be compelled to apply to a higher quarter----( Hear.) The motion was agreed to, and a deputation appointed to wait upon the Ward of Excise to-morrow (this &V) morning at 11 o'clock..

W. WOOD, Esq., then rose, and said, he had been 'requested to move the first resolution. The subject before the meeting resolved itself, 'he observed, into a very simple question, upon which there could be not much difference of . ..opinion in that room. It was, in fact, to remove a tax froM the raw material of the staple commodity of this dis trict. But it was not sufficient that they only should be satisfied on the subject ; it was necessary that his Majesty's Government should be satisfied ; and not merely that estate. of the realm, but the legislators of the country. It, would, therefore., be necessary for him to enter into detail ; but be promised to compress the matter into as small a compass as its importance would permit. It was, no doubt, the opinion of all who were abstractedly affected by taxa tion, who were pressed upon by any particular tax, that such tax was impolitic ; hut there were men who had brought powerful talent and large research to the consi deration of the question, who were of opinion that some taxes pr, ssed more heavily on the country than others. He would refer to one whose capacity and. experience constituted no mean authority—he alluded to Sir Henry Parnell. That indivi:lual had • sonic years ago pub:ished a book, which he (the speaker) believed was entitled Financial R,Yorm, in which the author strongly objects to taxes on industry—taxes on the manufac turers that employed industrY. Mr. Wood next dwelt upon the advantages derivable from the unfettering of a trade which afforded such a vast field for the employment of capital and labour, and favoured the accumulation of ca pital ; and to this, he said, no argument was opposed. It was impossible to deny that much good would accrue from the repeal of such taxes ; but the answer to the question was, that the sum this tax produced could not be spared from the. revenue. He then read some extracts from Sir H. Parnell's Work, in -. corroboration of his view, in reference. to all taxes of a. similar tendency ; and proceeded to' contend that, fortified by such an opinion, he Was Justified in pronouncing this tax as impolitic and op pressive. The cotton-trade, which gave employ to so large a population, was menaced—not from any country under the dominion of Great Britain—others had equal access to the raw material with ourselves—other countries had availed themselves of it, and had already made rapid strides in following our course ; and might they not overtake us? But when relief was asked for, it was said, what relief • could . be wanted by a set of men who had reached a state of prosperity such as no other 'part of this extensive and prosperous nation could equal ? But this, though plau sible,:would not hold good as an objection. The cotton ma nnfacturer was, it must be confessed, prosperous beyond that of foreign competition ; but as they (the foreigners) were extending as we were extending, bad we nothing to fear? We were engaged in a race, but until we arrived at the goal, who could say which would be the winner ? He adverted to the state of the cotton-trade, during the war, and prices of the raw material at the close of that gal ant - an l protracted struggle," and said he had alluded to Sir Henry Parnell, and spoken of him as a statesman and a philosopher ; but there were philosophers who, shut up in their studies, and poring over their books, thought dry_ were able to settle affairs which required long experienCe in those who attempted to grapple with them. He then road an extract from the Qua, Icily Review, advocating the propriety of the impost in question. Here was a writer, he said, in the solitude of the Cumberland mountains, who asked them what would become of the cotton-manufacture of this country? lie next referred to a pamphlet by Mr. Graham, and pronounced it a most useful manual, containing all the facts and conclusions calculated to throw light upon the question then under consideration. This writer, on the authority of commercial men whose names ho gives, informs us that the cotton manufactures of the United States (con fined at present to the coarser fabrics) have found their way to Malta, Smyrna, Constantinople, Bahia, Pernambuco, Ma ranham, Para, St. Domingo, Honduras, Havannali, Mexico, Tampico, La Guayra, Carthagena, Buenos Ayres, Valpa raiso, Lima, Cape of Good Hope, Bombay, Calcutta, Ba tavia, Singapore, Canton, and Manilla—in short, to every place which the merchants of this town trade with for the sale of their manufactures. This competition, he repeated, only applied to the coarser fabrics, but they must of ne cessity be first, and it would follow that finer anti more ex pensive fabrics would be sent to the same destinations. Woollens were a few years ago in a rude state here, and for the prosperity of that branch of manufacture we were indebted to foreigners. We were indebted in a most re markable degree to that madman, Lots the XI V. • It was said that the present duty on cotton wool of 5-I6ths of a penny per lb.—(Mr. Wood called this, throughout his lengthened calculations, 3.l6ths, but-subsequently, as the writer of this notice understood, corrected- himself, and called it 5-I6ths, which has been here followed)—was sub stituted for an ad valorem duty of six per cent. ; but the calculation by which 5-I6ths would be equal to six per cent. had been overthrown by the advance on the raw mate rial—it was more than six per cent. in consequence. But the present prices could not, stand ; and when they come down, the calculation of six per cent. would hold good. And then, in reference to the alleged inconseq uen ti a l amount o f this duty, he would ask, if the merchants of High -street were enabled to sell their manufactures at a rate of from two to three per cent. lower than the merchants in Cannon street, would not Cannon-street be deserted, and purchasers flock to High -street for their goods?—(Cheers and laughter.) Was not their situation with the foreigner re duced to the same thing? They exported their goods in rivalry with the foreigner, and the question was, who shall have it ? It was urged against the repeal of' this tax,, that the whole thing was a trifle—onlyBoo,oool.or4oo,ooo/. Well, then, bethought if the amount be so small, it would be easy for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to spare it altogether. Ho next entered into a long tabular statement, thawing the progressive fall of duties on cotton, flax, hemp, and silk, and applied its operation to the views lie entertained in reference to the extinction of all such taxes. He eulogised those Ministers whose liberal policy had given so great an impetus to trade, and referred to Sir Robert Peel as an authority in favour of a repeal of the tax on cotton wool, That gentleman, said he, who now exercised so largo an influence, made the following ob4crvationg In a debate on the subject ;—" With respect to the duty on the importation of raw cotton, I will first - state, that in the year ending the sth of April, 1835, the duty collected upon that article, undoubtedly one of 'the main sources of the prosperity of' the. country, amounted to 374,000/. ; and in the year ending the sth April, 1836;the amount levied was 400,0001. ; being, I believe, only five sixteenths of one penny in the pound. But it behoves the "House to bear in mind that the manufactures of this country are exposed—and so long as peace continues they will be expbsed—to foreign competition. I therefore will say, that to levy such a duty as 400,000/. upon a rase Ma terial which forms the staple of our chief manufactures, while, on the one hand, no advantage can be gained by so small a revenue, on the other, is to raise a certain amount of revenue, which would be most dearly purchased, if by retaining it we should lay the foundation for an increasing and successful competition elsewhere. With my views as to the necessity of maintaining public credit inviolate, and as to the impoliey of making no provision whatsoever for the interruption of that prosperity which the country is now enjoying, and deprecating, as I do, the approach to that state of things by which we may encumber our selves with a new debt, I cannot, certainly, press for a remission of a tax to so large an amount as the total :re duction of the tax upon raw cotton ; but I should rejoice to see such an amount of surplus as would leave raw cotton • free from any duty whatever, so as not to warrant unneecs sarily any competician in that important branch of trade," To this the Chancellor of the Exchequer replied, " i ha ve listened to the speech just delivered with the greatest plea sure, the earnest eloquence of which I shall not attempt to imitate." fie next proceeded to say, "I am ready entirely to agree with what has fallen from him on the subject of ri.w cotton ; but my answer must be, that 1 have not the means of acceding to his propositions," which declaration was followed by six clauses, explanatory of the " Why and the because," which extended to considerable length. The resolution was passed, as were several others to the The MANort (Thomas Brightwell, Esq.) on taking the Chair said, he had acceded to the request of a numerpus body of his fellow-citizens, and he hoped they were assem bled together with the disposition to meet the question fully and fairly. The individuals who had called the meeting, felt that they were labouring under a grievance, and they were taking a legitimate mode of representing their sentiments to the Legislature. It was not his intention to defend the con duct of those who had taken an extra e course with re spect to the Church Rates—he meant those who had refu'sed to pay them. He never had done so himself but once, and then he considered he had sufficient grounds to object to the amount of the rate imposed upon him. If, however, a person did conscientiously object to the payment of Church Rates, he had surely a right to refuse, and leave the law to take its course. He had this morning hail a periodical sent to him called the C'liu chnzan. More gross and scurrilous abuse—more foul-mouthed language he never read, than was contained in this work against the Dissenters. He hoped that mother-church ,knew better than to own such advocates ; if she did not, it would fare ill 'with her. if a fair view of the question was taken, he believed that many liberal churchmen would be desirous of aiding the efforts of the Dissenters in having the question of the Church-rates brought to a settlement. But in the periodical to which he had alluded, Dissenters were placed on a par with high wayman ; and Mr. Childs, who had been a martyr in the cause, was described as little better than a robber and a thief.—(Cries of " Shame!") No one could possibly object to the course which this meeting was pursuing, it was the legitiMate right of every Englishmen who felt himself ag grieved to petition Parliament, and that Dissenters were aggrieved he was ready to argue with any loan who would enter upon the subject fairly. The Church Rates were an obnoxious impost, because persons had no fair or legitimat e means of redress when they felt themselves aggrieVed. In several instances he knew that things had been foisted into the rates which bail no more right to beinserted than the purchase of the clothes upon his back. One parish in this city had in 19 years spent out of the Church-rates upwards of 1,000/. in feastiugs. The rent of the gardea of the Mi nister, the repair of his house, were in one parish made ex penses out of the Church-rate. Why they might with equal justice have put in the rent of the Dissenting Minis ter's house ; and, indeed, he could but wonder that any - Clergyman should accept of such a mode of increasing his income. The Church-rates could only be properly ap plied the repair of the building and a few other' matters. When the sum was less than ten pounds, there was an appeal to the Magistrates ; but ease the le gality •of the rate • was disputed, Magistrates could only diimiss the parties to the Spiritual Court,- and it. had been decided that this Spiritual Court can not examine the churchwardens' accounts. He knew that it might be replied to him that he might appeal to the Court of King's Bench, but even that Court will not exa mine the accounts, but if the case should be very gross, they may quash the rate. They won't-interfere where the case is very small, and moreover the expense of an applica tion to the Court of King's Bench is greater than most persons would be willing to encounter. He would ask Church - ten whether they will not assent with us to the set tlement of this question ? In parishes where the majority are Churchmen, rates to any amount may be imposed, but where the majority consists of Dissenters, no rate will be obtained. He thought therefore that Churchmen, looking at the existing state of things, would agree that it was high time that some course should be adopted that would be satisfactory to all reasonable men. , Lord John Russell ,had intimated that it was his intention to bring for ward soma measure, and he (Mr. Brightwell) trusted that it would not be longer postponed; but that they should soon get rid of what be could not but term a legal nui- In his own parish, was it fair or decent that .caving paid the Church Rate foi peace sake, should h a v e a 'teetind ratein"ii'ly. sin ce thiS' subject hai been agi tated, they have had two rates—one the Church Rate— the other the Church Organ Rate—and he, a Dissenter, was called upon to pay for the gilded organ of the Church man.

Mr. S. MITCHELL, in introducing the first resolution, said that, as Dissenters, they contended that it was a vio lation of good government to interfere in matters of consci ence, and they also contended that no man ought to he debarred of any civil rights on account, of the religious tenets that he might hold. Formerly Dissenters were abridged of their civil rights, but they were very thankful for what had been done to remove their disa bilities and for the regulations lately passed respect= in g Registrations and Marriages ; they would be still more thankful if the Government would relieve them from tha burthen of Church rates. It appeared by the report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, that there were about 11,000 churches ; some with cures, some without. But these would not embrace one-third of the population. And if it had not been for the voluntary aid of Dissenters, in what a situation would London, Manchester, or this great city have been with respect to religious instruction. There were 8,000 .places of worship belonging to the Dissenters, and it would not be denied that the pure principles of the Gospel were preached to large congregations, and that an immense amount of good was done by them. The Dis senters not only raised their own buildings but supported their ministers, and upwards of a million annually was voluntarily subscribed. Every reflecting and generous heart amongst Churchmen would, say, relieve these Dis senters ; they are 'exerting themselves for the same object as ourselves , - th e re li g i ous i nstruct i on of the people. The Aristocracy, the wealth of the country, was attached to the Church ; it was ungenerous then to call upon the Dissenters to help to pay for their wine and their organs, their siuging boys and singing girls. As Dissenters they objected to the payment of Church -rates, because they received no value for their money. In the payment of other taxes they did, they had their property protected and they shar e d w i t h ot h ers ; b ut for the Church -rate, as Di!-- seaters, they received no equivalent. It might be said it was their own fault, the Churches were open to them—but they could not conscientiously avail. themselves of it. The remark had been made that if the Church-rates were abolished or only confined to ChurchnTZl;;;id be a premium on dissent. Where could persons go, he would ask, to save their pockets? If they went to the Methodist Chapel they would be expected to contribute—applica tions would be made to them for Ed. a penny a week, or Is. a quarter for keeping up the building. Ile had been brought up a Churchman, and when he left and joined the the Methodists his mother took him to task ; she used to say, ." they don't want you, they want your money." He could tell them people would not have the Church to save their money ; he knew it was so as to the Methodists, and if they went to any other class they would find themselves very little better off. If a gentleman was to, come to the chapel to which h e b e l onge d (the Independent) he would be allowed to come occasionally ; but if he was regular in his attendance, their manager at the quarter time would go to him and say, " Perhaps you would like to take a scat or a sitting, it is only ss. or 75., or that pew is 30s. a quarter."— (A laugh.) He mentioned this to show that people would not save their pockets by leaving the Church.

A new Society, the Church Build ing. Society, had since been formed, and he read the noble donation of 6,000/. anonymously given, the donor put ting down his name as a " Clergymen seeking treasure in h ea v e n." Ile believed that if churchmen were left to their own voluntary resources, they would be more at tached to their church, and more zealous to pro Mote its welfire. Mr.. Mitchell concluded by moving the first reso lution. The• Rev. Mr. Puntis, of the Particular Baptist Persua sion, the Rev. Mr. Bakewell (Unitarian Minister), Mr. H. Bictwell (a Member of the Society of Friends), the Rev. Mr. Dryden (of the Lady Huntingdon Connection), the Rev. Mr. Scott (a the General Baptist Persuasion), Mr J. Cozens, 111 r, pigg, and Mr. Banks, all of them Dissen ters, siwaie in support of the resolution ; and a vote of thanks having been passed to the Mayor, the Meeting separated.
