EVISION OF VOTERS.-THIS DAY. efore Mr. TAMLYN.) The Co oRT sate at half-past nine o'clock, and commenced with the revision of the parish of ST. PETER LE-POER. MThe cl a i m o f Charles Andrew Bedel was supported by r. Rowcroft. The notice served upon the overseers was put in, and ob jected to by Mr. Trott, on the ground that there was no proof th at t h e notice had been signed by the claimant. Mr. TAMLYN said the Act required that the notice of claim should be signed, but did not say by whom. Mr. Trott —If the present notice is to be considered good I m i g h t s i gn notices for every person residing in the City of London without an authority. Mr. TAMLYN—I see the evil that might result from it. Mr. Rowcroft—A s the party himself does not think Prop er n to appear, I shall not press the claim.—Claim dis he claims o f J o h n Ch a l mers and William Dallas were also withdrawn by Mr. Rowcroft, the parties not being in attendance. The claim of John Dale, 65, Old Broad-Street, by the s ame party, was also withd rawn , th e qualification being defective. • _ The n ex t c l a i m was that of Daniel Ferard, 22, Austin- Friars, which was supported by Mr. Rowcroft. Mr. Trott objected to the notice. There were claims wade b y M r. Ferrard, and by his partner, Mr. Harvey Jones, and only one notice had been served. Now the Act required that a claim should be made by " every person emitted from the list." Mr. Rowcroft contended that the words " or to the like effect," in a subsequent part of the clause were clearly in troduced for the puose of giving a latitude to the claim- Independentlyrp of this, the two names were published M the list of claimants.—Objection over-ruled. Mr. Gibbs, the Vestry Clerk, deposed that the claim ant was not rated for twelve months for the relief of the poor. Mr. Rowcroft—Then I won't press the claim.—Claim disallowed.

Ob. ections were taken to the claims of two persons, tro uil Peter Dacthey and Stanislaus Darthey, by Mr. Row _t, and th e par ti es n ot appearing their names were ex punged from th e li s t. TAMLYN said there were one or two cases which e as be en Postponed for further argument. One was the e o f °f Mr. R o b er t Ed wa rd Johnston, and the other that '‘ l , r • Tath am . Th e qu estion in one case was, whether a Part,at3.llaving remove d from one house to another, without Pati o 310 g it, was in a conditiotzs to prove continuous o ten ; and i n t h e ot h er , w h e ther a party, being a ccu-joint / I . t, should no t h ave s et that forth in his notice. 4 0ti 4r Rowcroft was h ear d in support of the validity of the A e,es, and Mr. Trott on the other side.

Witness thought him not right in his mind, and tried to soothe him as much as possible. Before they were mar ried he was one day very violent, and said he would de stroy himself, unless witness married him. At that time he inflicted four wounds on his head with a quart pot. He once attempted to drown himself, with large weights in his pockets. About seven yeais ago he came home with all his hair shaved off ; and on being asked by wit ness why he had done so, he said it was his fancy ; he was tired of the world, and that he had .gone into a barber's shop, took up a razor, and threatened to cut the man's throat unless he shaved his hair off. He once attempted to cut witness's throat, and was so violent, that he was sent to the House of Correction for two months. He ap peared in such a disturbed state for the last seven years, that she hardly knew whether he was sober or drunk. Mary Terry stated that the prisoner at the bar lodged at her house at the time of the committal of this offence. Had heard him repeatedly say he would take away Mrs. Burn's life, and his own, too, afterwards. On the night previous to the committal of the offence, he told the witness that if she would give him a sovereign, he would tell her a secret—that he had but a short time to live, that he intended to kill Mrs. Burn, and then himself. He went to bed, but got up shortly afterwards, saying he was troubled and could not rest. On the morning of the day on which the offence was committed, on leaving the house of the witness, he said he was going to Gravesend ; that if he did not return, she was to go to Mr. Appleby's, where she would find his trunk, great-coat, and a tin box containing some halfpence. He also left ss. with the witness to pay for what he had had. Thomas Burn, the son of the prosecutrix, corroborated her testimony. The officer who took the prisoner into custody produced the two pistols, which were examined, and proved to be loaded with powder and large swan shot. Wm. Merritt was with the prisoner when he bought the pistols from Mr. Walker, the pawnbroker, in the Commer cial-road on the morning of the day that he committed the offence. He told witness that he had bought them for• the purpose of blowing Mr. Burn's brains out, and then his own. Witness, before he knew what the prisoner was going to do, bought the powder and shot for him. The shopman of the pawnbrokei stated that the prisoner purchased the pistols from his master's shop. He stated that he wanted them for a captain, and on witness asking him a guinea for them, the prisoner said he must take less, as he wanted something for himself. Witness said if he would bring the Captain down the next day he would try if they could not agree. The prisoner came the next day in com pany with the last witness, and stated that the Captain could not come, but that he was to purchase them. After he had paid 15s. for them, he got some caps from the wit ness, which he tried, and snappinc , one at a female in the shop, he said laughing, " You are a woman." The prisoner, in a rather incoherent manner, stated that he had neither seen powder, shot, or pistols, and that he was an innocent man. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up, and _ - The jury, after retiring for half-an-hour, returned a ver dict of—Guilty of committing the act, being of unsound mind at the time. NEW COURT. THE KING V. THE OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS, FOR CONSPIRACY. This case, which has already occupied three days, was resumed this morning. William Budd, timekeeper to the omnibuses at the Bank, was examined by Mr. C. JONES—Witness observed Bray's omnibuses on Whit-Monday last, when they came to the Bank with Trevett's carriages. Witness informed the drivers that they could not take time without permission, and they drove on through Cornhill. Subsequently, when Trevett's omnibuses started Bray's-followed them, and on coming to the Bank on the following days they appeared to try to start at the same time as Trevett's. Considerable confusion was occasioned by Bray's omnibuses, which kept no time. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS—Sylvester ' s " Emperor" and Corbett's " Albion" took regular time only once. They were in the habit of running with Bray's omnibu sses. _ ...... Re-examined—There was no opposition until Bray com menced running his omnibusses. James Thompson, inspector of coaches, stationed in Cheapside, for the purpose of checking the coach re turns at the Stamp-office, stated that he had frequently seen the " Emperor" afid the " Albion" with Bray's omnibus behind, and that when the former stopped, Bray's driver whipped the horses, and drove his pole across the door of the carriages. On one occasion, he saw Raine, Bray's driver, take a child off the steps of the " Emperor," and put it into his own, and a female who accompanied the child was, therefore, compelled to go with him. Cross-examined—Had ridden with the " Emperor," but had no connexion with the parties. John Miller, time-keeper at the Wheat-sheaf, and Nathanial Coulson, time-keeper at the. New-inn, Edgeware road, stated that as soon as Trevett started, Bray always followed him closely. .racob Miller, a Sergeant of Police, deposed to having witnessed Bray endeavour, by forcible means, to prevent passengers from entering the " Albion." Edward Tyrell, Inspector of Police, had witnessed similar scenes. He considered one as bad as the other, but had summoned Bray's man twice. Cross-examined—The conduFt of Bray's men was very improper. Other police officers gave similar evidence. Coulson, the time-keeper at the Bank, was re-called and examined by Mr. PAYNE—Witness had conversed with Bray on the subject of his running his cbmnibusses, and he told witness that unless he got one hundred pounds from the other proprietors, he would indict them all for a conspi racy, and ruin them. Two men employed by Treveti were taken into custody on the present indictment shortly after wards, and witness heard Bray say he did not mean to go against the men, but the wasters, as he could get nothing out of the former. _ _ Cross-examined—Witness used to pay the time-keepers with money he received from the different conductors. His regular demand was 2s. 6d. a week from each omnibus. Johnson, Pearce, Watson, Bolton, Trevett, and Cowderoy, all put additional omnibuses on the road after Bray started. John Lee examined—Was formerly a driver in the ser vice of Bray, who gave him directions to do as he thought proper. In consequence of this, witness drove against Trevett's omnibus, because it was a good time. Witness mai to wait about for Trevett, and occasionally draw his nole across the door to prevent passengers getting in. Vtness was also ordered by Bray to run against Bird and j o h ns ,in, and not to leave them until further orders. He did so fok" about six weeks. Cross-ex.; mined—Did not receive orders to run against Trevett. By the Jury— Was not told by Bray to run his pole across the steps of other Pmnibuses. Henry Edmonds, oil and colourman, of the Edgeware road, was riding on the box of the "Emperor," the Monday after W hit-Monday, when Bray drove against them and knocked the horses down in Holborn. Cross-examined by Mr. BALL—Was not an omnibus proprietor, but had lent some money that gave him an in terest in an omnibus. By Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I lent upwards of 300/. to a widow, and was compelled to take a share in an omnibus as the only security for my money. John Bardell, veterinary surgeon, brother of the two Bardells indicted, was next examined. Witness asked Bray why he bad indicted his brothers, and he replied that his attorney had advised him to do so. Witness put the same question to Norton. He replied, " Bardell, it is hardly fair that you should be here, but I will tell you, Mr. Bray has told me be has no evidence to offer against your brothers ; but Mr. Bray commissioned your brothers to ask the proprietors of the Paddington Committee for 1001, to go off the road ; and if we don't include them in the in dictment, the Paddington Committee will subpoena them against us. This was in Aaron Bray's presence. — He added—" H the proprietors would not pay the 1001. or take his stock at a valuation, and give him .501., I (Nor ton) will suffer my legs and arms to be cut off, if I don't ruin them." He told me to tell my brothers that they would know what they had to depend on. Mr. Serjcant BOMPAS was about to cross-examine the witness, when, Mr. C. PHILLIPS submitted to the Court, that as all the witnesses had been out of Court, if the learned Ser jeant intended to call Mr. Norton as a witness he ought to go out of Court also. Mr. Sergeant BOMPA s—Whatever may be the conse quence I will not consent to that. The COURT thought he ought not to he called unless be went out of Court. After some legal altercation Mr. Norton left the Court. Cross-examination of Mr. John Bardell by Mr. Sergeant BOMPAs—Was bad for his brothers. His bail was not refused. The Me was proceeding when our Reporter left.

THE SUN, LONDON, THITROAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1835. THE DUCHESS OF KENT AND PRINCESS VICTORIA. Burghley, the seat of the Marquis of Exeter, was on Monday, the 21st inst., honoured by a visit from their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Vic toria ; they arrived at 3 o'clock, when a Royal salute was fired ; and on their entrance a military band played " God save the King." The Corporation of Stamford waited up on their Royal Highnesses, and presented a loyal address, after which they partook of a d6jeuner dto fourchette. A dinner of 36 covers was prepared in the great hall or ban queting-room, which is 68 feet long by 30 wide, splendidly illuminated by eight patent lamps suspended from the arched roof of oak, springing from brackets, in the style of Westminster Hall, which roof for very many years, until the present occasion, had been painted. Mnch labour was required to remove the paint, and restore to its natural state that beautiful piece of architecture, which is supposed to be more ancient than the other parts of the building. The north end of the hall was fitted up for the sideboard; and the effect produced by the profusion of costly gold plate could not be surpassed, if equalled, either for elegance of design, or the masterly talent displayed in the workman ship. Amongst the numerous varieties of ornamental plate were a beautiful fountain and a magnificent silver cistern, the handles of which are lions (the supporters of his Lord ship's arms), admirably executed, which cistern is supposed to be the largest in England, 3,400 ounces. In the evening about 300 persons, consisting of all the rank and fashion in the neighbourhood, assembled at an early hour, by express invitation of the Marchioness, to have the honour of meeting her Royal Highness, on which occasion a suite of rooms were prepared for dancing, cards, and refreshments. Litolff and Adams's band struck up at ten o'clock, when dancing commenced, which was kept up with great spirit until er three o'clock. Supper was prepared in the great hall. The suite of rooms prepared for her Royal Highness and the Princess were unique. In the bed room was a most magnificent state bed for her Royal Highness, with a smaller one for the Princess, which were justly admired. The grate, fender, &c., were most curious, the family crests, coronets, and other ornaments, being in massive silver : the dressing-rooms were splendid, and the gold toilet plate most gorgeous. On one dressing table, most richly embossed, was a service of Queen Elizabeth's, on another that of King James I. The carvings that orna ment the numerous rooms are most costly, and the superb paintings, by the first masters, with which all the apart ments are enriched, renders Burghley a place of general attraction to all amateurs of the fine arts. Their Royal Highnesses left the next morning at 10 o'clock, on a visit to Mr. Coke, of Holkham. COURT CIRCULAR. The King, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, arrived in town at twenty minutes past one o'clock, yesterday after noon, from Windsor Castle. _ Lord Auckland'had an audience of his Majesty at St. James's, to take leave on his departure for India. The Earl of Minto had an audience to kiss hands on being appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. The King also gave audiences to Baron d'Ompteda, the Hanoverian Minister, Viscount Melbourne, Lord Glenelg, Lord Holland, Sir John Hobhouse, Sir Hussey Vivian, and Sir John Beresford. The Princess' Sophia visited his Majesty at St. James's. His Majesty left town at ten minutes past six o'clock, to return to Windsor Castle. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria will arrive at Euston-hall, to-day, on a visit to the Duke of Grafton. 'The Princess Augusta arrived on Monday at Bagshot park, on a visit to the Duchess of Gloucester. Viscount Melbourne arrived in town yesterday after noon, from the residence of Earl Cowper, at Penshanger, Herts. The French Ambassador and the Austrian Charge d'Affaires transacted business at the Foreign Office on Tuesday. Lord Bloomfield had an interview With Lord Glenelg on Tuesday, at the Colonial Office. Because the French Government has perfectly compre hended its mission. King Louis Philippe has perceived that the European question was not to be decided at Ka lisch, but at the Tuileries, and that the _day on which his energetic will should subdue the spirit of anarchy, would be the day on which the maintenance of peace would be de cided on by all Powers. Secure order at Paris, and you secure the peace of the world. This is what has not hi therto been sufficiently understood. M. de Saint Aulaire ingeniously pointed out the error which prevented the at tainment of that object. "On the day after a revolution made for liberty," said he, " it is not liberty that is to be thought of ; it cannot have forgotten itself ; but whenliberty has triumphed, guarantees must be given to power, for that alone is impotent and disarmed." The statesmen who thus understood the question will have saved France, and ensure the repose of Europe.— Journal de Frankfort, Sept. 18. Sir George Grey arrived in town on Tuesday, from the residence of Phillips, at Garendon-park, Loughborough. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21.—His Majesty the King left us this morning to go to the Loo.

The Duke of Buccleugh embarked for Dundee direct, in his yacht, the Flower of Yarrow, on his way to his shooting quarters, Forest-lodge, at Blairathol. The Duchess, on her route to Dalkeith Palace, is visiting her sister, Lady Louisa Lascelles, at Goldsborough Hall, near Knaresborough.

His Lordship has had a long cruize off the Spanish coast. Mr. Heneage, M.P., in his yacht, the Sparrow hawk, has returned from Portugalette, where he and the Noble Commodore in the Falcon, were spectators of the late conflict between the Queen's forces and the army of Don Carlos. Lord Mulgrave will not, it is said, attend the annual inauguration dinner of the Orange Corporation of Dublin. Lord Mulgrave does not intend to sanction by his presence the orgies customary on those occasions, nor the insulting toasts given from the Chair. The Marchioness of Londonderry was prevented from being present at the York Musical Festival, on account of indisposition, arising from alarm at the accident which nearly befel her Ladyship and son by the falling of the carriage.

ZEALAND, SEPT. 17.—Major-General Van Hoof, of the Engineers, arrived yesterday evening at Flushing, to view the fortifications, and afterwards to inspect the prepara tions for the new bomb-proof-fort at Briskins and Ale woutsdyk, and likewise the fortifications of Neuzen, which are far advanced. Mr. Charles Kemble, who has been playing some of his favourite characters at Cambridge, was on Monday last elected an honorary member of the Cambridge Garrick Club. This society, which was established for the encou ragement of the drama, in 1833, has not only met with tl - e greatest support from the inhabitants of the town, but can also boast of having amongst its members some of the most celebrated actors of the present day. The Committee of Covent Garden met yesterday for . the purpose of disposing of the theatre. There were two candidates—Mr. Osbaldiston, and Mr. James Langshaw, of Hampstead, whose father was an intimate friend of the late David Garrick. The latter gentleman was the highest bidder, and is to have a final answer from the Committee on Monday. The improvements contemplated in the inte rior by Mr. Langshaw, in the event of his becoming the lessee, will prevent the season commencing before the second week in November. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 20.—His Excellency Baron Fagel, Minister of State, has arrived here. Count Augustin Capo d'lstria, brother to the late President of Greece, has arrived here from London. He left us yesterday. FRANKFORT, SEPT. 18.—The grand reviews at Kalisch must be concluded to-day. Of course we cannot have the news ; but a letter from Kalisch, received yesterday, says positively that the reviews would end on the 17th, so that the Sovereigns and other distinguished persons would partly leave Kalisch on the following day. They will not, how ever, go direct to Toplitz. The Emperor of Russia, King of Prussia, and several Princes will not proceed thither till the last week of this month, by which time the Emperor of Austria, who is expected there on the 19th, will have everything arranged to receive them. The Ministerial conferences will begin before the arrival of the Sovereigns. BRIGHTON THEATRE.---Mr. Kean having entered into a second engagement, played every night last week, repeating all the characters in which he had previously ap peared, with the addition of Young Norval. He took a second benefit on Monday, on which occasion the house. was a complete bumper.

Dancing, which commenced be tween nine and ten o'clock, was kept up with spirit by an elegant and fashionable assemblage until after the dawn of day, with the introduction of an agreeable episode in the form of a supper, consisting of every delicacy which the season affords, and the time of the repast would justify.

This was met, however, by an amendment, on the part of Mr. Vigors and others, for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the matter and report to the vestry. The amendment was carried. VIENNA, SEPT. 12.—Count Nesseirode and Baroh Von Kessling have arrived at Konigmarth, where Prince Met ternich has been staying for some days past. Baron Kess ling,it is said, has letters from the'King of Bavaria to the three Sovereigns who will meet at Toplitz. Letters from Corfu represent the insurrection in Albania as at an end. They announced that Lord Durham had ar rived at Malta, on board an English frigate, and had said that he should make but a short stay at Constantinople, and that he should pass the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus in the same ship that brought him to Malta. This will put an end to the apprehensions of the English Journals re specting the refusal of a firman to pass the Straits in a man of-war.

IG.—lf King Louis Philippe is sin cere—and sincerity is his interest—he must seize for a mo ment a dictatorial, energetic, compact power, which alone is efficacious in the great crisis of society. Washington was all powerful, and his dictatorship saved America. If, on the other hand, the potentates have really recog nized Louis Philippe in royal good faith, as we may believe, they must give him solid aid to crush faction and silence party ; they must assist him in seizing a temporary but in dispensable dictatorship ; and if Europe should have to lend him a million of soldiers, the French soil must be purged of a thousand incendiaries, who keep it in a state of agitation, and prepare for it, and all civilized nations, ages of servi tude, under the pretext of a false and chimerical liberty. Let the approaching meeting of the Sovereigns, laying aside all rivalry, form a European high tribunal. Let it invest Louis Philippe for a year with dictatorial power ; let the men whose presence in Europe is manifestly in compatible with its tranquillity, and with the tranquillity of France itself, be transported to America or Africa, leaving their property (the usufruct of which they should enjoy) as a pledge of their submission, to be confiscated if they should dare to return from banishment ; and, by means of this great preservative measure, immediately after the punishment of the assassin, and of all his accomplices, be they who they may, let not another drop of blood be shed. During the Dictatorship, let wise but vigorous laws be enacted, that the head of any future criminal should not opt! pear—nay, fill within three days at the most after their crime ; and then—but not before—crime will not dare to show itself.--Journal de Frankfort, Sept. 17.

On Tuesday, the 22d i ns t., a V es t ry meet i ng was called in thi s p ar i s h by the Churchwardens, Messrs. Scott and Gower, to make a Church-rate for the present year, and was attended by the principal Churchmen of the town. Before the Chair was taken, it was suggested that all who were not rate-payers should withdraw. Mr. BOBBIT, the late Churchwarden, said Mr. Charles Childs is not a rate-payer. Mr. C. CHILDS—You had better examine the rate-book, where you will find that lam duly assessed. You show your animus without your power. The Rev. Archdeacon Glover, the perpetual Curate; who was informed by Mr. Cuddon's letter, already published, that the meeting would be held, was not present, and Mr. COBB, his deputy, took the Chair. Mr. S. SCOTT then rose, and stated that in pursuance of his official duty, he should state what sum would be neces sary to defray the legal expenses of the Church during the present year, and in doing this he begged to say they (the Churchwardens) were only carrying into effect Ile law as they ffiund it ; that they were sanctioned in this proceed ing by the usage of 200 years ; and thP` in calling for this legal and necessary rate, they wer. - doinc , nothing to dis-.' turb the peace of the town, h"..:t that such disturbance be charged on those who ',lad opposed the rate in tit ; way they had done. Hp 4 :nen read the items of estiumted ex pense, among wLich were the following:— s. d. For Archdeacon's Visitation Sweeping Church Washing Surplices .. .112 0 Sacramental Wine Brushes, Dusters, &e. Keeping the Church-yard R. BUTCHER, Esq., moved that a,rate of 3d. in the pound be granted. Rev. T. BEWICKE seconded it. The CHAIRMAN asked whether any gentleman had any amendment to propose ?—when the Rev. JOSEPH WILSON, Catholic Priest, mse, and stated that he had no amendment to offer, but attended for the purpose of using his best efforts to all:4y the irritation which existed in the town, which it Was impossible to conceal, and which, if again set into action, would arouse all the opposition of last year s :Ind bring the same scenes to be re enacted. This was a state of things which he should ex ceedingly deplore, and in order to avert it, he begged in all charity to propose —to suggest to the members of the Church—that they should make a voluntary subscrip tion in the town to defray their own expenses, and remove the necessity of this rate. To show the spirit by which. am actuated, said Mr. Wilson, I will gladly bind mys e lf n6w to subscribe, every.year, until the question is settled by the LegiMature, double the amount at which I am now assessed ; and thus to show with what satisfaction I should witness so just a proceeding. I know that many others who think with me, will follow my example ; and I do most respectfully put it to this vestry, whether they will not accept and act on my suggestion, in the same sp i r i t o f peace with which it is o ff ere d. To the principle which actuated the. opposition of l as t y ear I assente d , b ecause we, who do g not participate in your services, have a strong and irrepres sible feeling, that it is unjust to charge us with their expenses. The Rev. Mr. Coup interrupted the speaker, to remark that he had himself contributed to support the Catholic Church in a foreign country, and thought it his duty to support whatever Church was established. Mr. WILSON —The injustice was equal wherever, or by whomsoever, it was comm i tte d , and although itmight be silently endured while the numbers of Dissenters were small, or their influence not extensive, it would of neces sity excite opposition where, as in this country, they com posed so large a proportion of the numbers and intelligence of the people. Here, especially, continued Mr. Wilson, the injustice is admitted by all parties, for all agree that Church-ratesr must be speedily abolished by the State. Surely, in order to avoid such angry contests a..., this rate will engender, you will consent to anticipate the laws for one year, and accept the suggestion which,, in the spirit of peace, I have thrown out to you. Mr. JOHN CUDDON rose t? 'express his approb a ti on o f the suggestion ma d e by Mr-. Wilson. He was an old in habitant of the town who had hitherto lived in quietness and peace, and he been exceedingly distressed by what had taken place 'Last year. He did most anxiously hope the same thinp: , 7, would not be done again, and although not a churitiman, he would gladly bind himself to Mr. Wilson's offer, and pay to a voluntary subscription twice the amount of his Church-rate. Mr. BENJAMIN SAYER said he thought it had much better be passed on for one year. "We had better let it pass this year, and then the question will be settled." Several parishioners, who understood Mr. Sayer to pro pose that the rate should stand over, seconded his remark, but on being-hsked what he meant by letting it pass, Mr. Sayer replied that the Dissenters had better pay the rate. Mr. SAMUEL SCOTT said he fully participated in the feelings of the gentlemen who had spoken, but as a parish officer, he had nething to do but to put the law in opera tion. He must, however, remark that as these gentlemen of fered to subscribe towards the expenses of the church, they could have no objection to pay the amount of their church rate assessed for the same purpose. He could only say that to collect a subscription was no part of his duty as a churchwarden, but that if any person would guarantee him the sum required for the church, he should not be called upon to propose a rate. The Rev. JOSEPH WILSON said, now I see a glimpse of peace for the parish. The churchwarden has declared his readiness to accept a voluntary subscription ; and now let some churchman rise, and offer to conduct one—to go round the parish —to collect the sums which, on such a plan, nearly all will be willing to offer. Let not such a favourable chance of peace be lost. I myself, did I not sustain so peculiar an office, would gladly undertake it. I hope we are approaching a peaceful settlement. This proposition was received only with some confused remarks, such as, " We are not so fond of going round," &c. ! and Mr. W. Dyball asked, " Do you think we are going to pay for you ?" No other answer being made, the Chairman put the original question, when Mr. Charles Childs read the following protest, which had been prepared by the Church-rate Committee : ' " PROTEST. " That it is wholly at variance with Christian equity, for one religious sect to erect its places of worship, or conduct its public services, at the expense of any other sect. " That the levying of Church rates is an injustice which Dissenters have too long endured, and which religious men will not defend by the existence of an unjust law, nor enforce by an appeal to it. " That these dissentients protest earnestly against granting a Church rate in this parish, and committing to the church wardens the power of consigning their townsmen to prison, under the pretext of upholding religion. " That if the vestry, notwithstanding this Protest, proceed to make a rate, these dissentients pledge themselves to use all lawful means to prevent the adoption of illegal or oppressive measures against any of their members. " That these resolutions be communicated to the vestr; as the Protest of the Bungay Church-rate Conlmittee. , " Mr. ROBERT WHITE begged the Churchwar:tens to post pone the rate for a while, until the exPe) : .anent of a sub scription had been made, as if this faile?,, they bad at any time the power of calling for a lee-. rate in vestry. Rev. Mr. Com—lf we were to accept such a proposi tion, it would afterwards be 11 :ang in our faces with insult. Mr. CHARLES CHILP:i—Your Churchwarden has ad mitted that he is not compelled by law to make a rate ; he has offered to forego the legal provision, if you (the Church men) will sur: he has P ly him with funds. By so doing, placed ll- .e matter entirely on your own voluntary efforts, a 1(1 :it remains wholly with yourselves to determine whether if on principle you will not concur, good taste, and a re gard to the condition of the parish, will not have some weight in your determination. _ As the question was being carried, Mr. WILSON again begged that some Chu rc h man wou ld a d opt hi s suggest i on, but finding this unavailing, he warned the Churchwardens and the Vestry that all the ill-blood of the last year would now be set in action on both sides. He assured them that there were many who, although they had not attended this meeting, would follow the example of Mr. John Childs, and that that gentleman, with his iron mind, would again meet the question, and if necessary go to prison. Mr. JOHN BOBBIT, the late churchwarden, started up and said, it was a question on his mind, whether Mr. Childs and Mr. Hume had not concerted the whole matter be tween them. Mr. WHITE replied, that if there were any concert, it must surely have been between Mr. Hume and the church wardens. The rate was then passed, and the meeting broke up. The Editor of the New York Herald writes upon the margin of his paper—" Burnt out last night, will resume in a few days."

Bolfast Carrickfergus Derry Newry Kinsale Limerick Mallow Nenagh Tralee Waterford Youghall Having given this summary of the contents of our Ap pendix, we take this opportunity of stating to your Ma jesty— 1. The difficulties whiC'h we have had to encounter both from the extensive and complipated nature of the subject itself, and from the peculiar social condition of the people of that portion of your Majesty's dominions in which the inquiry has been prosecuted. 2. The course which we have pursued in collecting in formation ; showing how far it is full and hupartial, and, therefore, how far worthy of confidence. 3. The reasons why we are not yet enabled to obey your Majesty's command to report, " whether any and what fur ther remedial measures appear to be requisite to ameliorate the condition of the Irish poor, or any of them." I. As to the difficulty of the inquiry : The great proportion of the population about and amongst whom the inquiry was to be made is constantly f.ttictuatino• between. mendican c y an d i n d epen d ent labour. In whol e districts scarcely one of that class of substantial capitalist farmers so universal in England can be ffond.u nd. The small resident gentry are but few, and the substantial tradesman is not to be met with at intervals of two or three miles, as in England ; for there are but few towns of sufficient trade to create such a class. The Clergy of the various persua sions, and the proprietors, when resident,. are, in many cases, SO much at variance with each other, or with the working population, upon political questions, that great caution was requisite in regard to the manner and degree in which we could avail ourselves of their assistance. Similar difficulties. existed with regard to the constabulary, from the frequent collision in which they are placed with the people ; and pa. rochial authorities can' scarcely be said to exist. In an inquiry about a population in which many of the ordinary distinctions of society are commonly merged. ire the same individual, and in an inquiry amongst a 'nipple the various Classes of whom had long been at vari ,nice with each other, it became a matter of fearful momet.tt to deter mine respecting 'whom the inquiry should lr e made, and from whom testimony could be received, w'tlich would not merely be impartial, but which would be, admitted by all to be so ; the one requisite being as, important as the other. We became quickly and rAinfully alive to the danger which would attend the slir,-htest error in our pro cedure. Did we appear to rely coo much on the Clergy or laity of any one persuasion,, we were certain to be accused of political or relift'ious bias. Did we receive testimony more freely fromthe rich man than from th e poor man, or f rom th e • poor man than from the rich, we were certain to be k 3 :enounced as having prejudged the subject about whici, we had undertaken impartially to in quire. But great a% 'were these difficulties, great as was the circumspection which they required, another and yet more formidable " ) .afficulty existed. Your Majesty had ci.3m rnanded 'US to determine " whether any, and, if any, what further remedial measures appear to be requisite to me liorP.te the condition of the Irish poor, or any portion of thaem 'fo determine what measures might be requisite to ame liorate the condition of the poorer classes in Ireland re quired an investigation extending to almost the whole social and productive system, for the poorer classes in Ireland may be considered as comprehending nearly the whole population ; and as no institution is isolates;, in its effect it is impossible to decide. upon the consec,uence of removing or creating one law or custom witlviut consi dering its connection with every other. It became there fore matter of grave importance to deteradue whether so extensive an inquiry was practicable ; and, if not, what portion should be chosen ? It also, became necessary and difficult to decide as to the order in which such an investigation should proceed—which class of subjects should be taken first, which last—which were primary in their effects, which secondary. •On every side we were assailed by the theoriex of thoso who were born or had long resided in the country, and con sequently might be supposed . to have posse- ae o, good oppor tunity for ascertaining th e soun d ness o f-4: heir opinions. One party Stributed all the poverty and wre:celledness of the coun try to an asserted extreme use of arde- A t spirits, and proposed a system for repressing illicit distill`ation, for preventing smug gling, and for substituting beer and coffee. Another party found the cause in the comVAnations amongst workmen, and proposed rigorous laws against Trades' Unions. Others again were equally confident that the reclamation of the bogs and waste land s was the only practicable remedy. A fourth party decljred the nature of the existing connection between landlord ant)_ tenant to he the root of all the evil ; pawnbroking, redur.dant population, absence of capital, pc culiar religious tracts and religious differences, political ex. citement, want of education, the mal-administration el jus tice, the state of prison discipline, want of manufactures, and of inland navigation, with a variety of other circum stances, were each supported by their various advocates with earnestness and ability, as bein g ; either Alone, or jointly with some other, the primary cause of all the evils of Eq. cietY ; and loan funds, emigration, the repression of polAiti cal excitement, the introduction of manufactures, and the extension of inland navigation 'were accordingly proposed each as the principal means by which the improvement of Ireland could be promotei. Having so difficult a questlo.l to deal with, and so many plausible solutions offcred_, to us, aware that the pubie would be impatient of a second inquiry, we felt bound, to use great cone _ order of . l ieration in selecting tile subjects and, the tvestigation. That many, if not all, of tile alleged "'.uses of evil did exist in a greater or less de - gree was suf fiently evident ; and that good might arse from some of the remedies proposed we were not prer;, a r e d t o d en y. T o decide, without careful investigation, upon the degree in which each might be productive of evil or of benefit would have been at variance with the trust which your Majesty bad confided to us. We thereure determined : that the quiry should embrace every subject to which important seemed to be attached by any large number of persons. (To be concluded to-morrow.) ~ '} ,tee..__
