I H JNT. A Meeting of the Columdtee lAtely appointed to inquire into the circumstance which have oc curred at Alaneheiter, to raise stanctiptioni, and to appropriate them to those who h- : •ve suffered, Pint particular!y to the &fence cif those who have teen subjected to prosecution 'time, took place yesterday evening' at. the - Crown and Anatol . Tavern. Mr. GALLowAy was called to the Chair.--,He stated, that the body be HOW addressed (about fifteen iu number) were convened to consider the ptopriety of giving to Mr. Henry Hunt., on his arrival in London from Manchester, a public wary and.a . dinner. - How tar thiS would be considered by the- Meeting either as prudent or jodicious, it was tor, them to determine. so eject Lave rise to much discussion, whet► at leilgth'it WB . B proposed by a Mr. Grant, that the Meeting should cease to discuss the proposi tion, and each person be allokved to act on the occasion, in accordance with his own individual feelings. Some Gentlemen said they understood the thing . was already resolved upon by another Committee (that of 200), then sitting at the White Lion, •Wych-street, and that a Gentleman present had a communication front Dr. Watson on the subject. Mr. BitaT (the proprietor of the White Lion) rose and put in a letter. It was signed by 'Dr. James IVarson, and stated, that at three or four Committees, ..each 24 in numbest-, it was onani• mously resolved, that Mr. Hunt should be re ceived .triumphantly in London, and be welcomed by a. public dinner. All the principal arrange thents had been matte, and the line of march fix ed, a band of music (of 30 persons) had been provided, and many others would offer themselves as volunteers. One thousand persons at least, not of the Committee, had already promised to attend, the great room at the Crown and _Anchor had been engaged for the dinner, the toasts were arranged, and in fact nothing was wanting hut the cordial co operation of Refornzers of all classes. It was deemed advisable, however, to solicit the use of some of the flags used. by the Committee a l of Sir Francis Burdett, such as " Hold to time Laws;" &e. This communication gave vise to a warm dis cussion, some Gentlemen thinking it altogether premature, that any public entry should be given to Mr. flout, until the result of the Manchester business, at least in its legal sense, be fully known oth e rs, that as a Committee who CIS ins ed.an unalterable attachment to Mr. Hunt had already 'decided upon the entry and dinner, it would be of no use inter eying. 'Ellis was resist ed, upon the principle that jealousies avou!tl still be maintained, al.() that the cause of, Mr. Bunt, whether he b.rd hitherto acted right or wrong s was now an object of paramount attention to the cause of Reform. The propriety of the measure being finally. agreed upon, Mr'. Evans propoSed that Mr. Hunt he re ceived tvith " a public welcome." This was car ried ; and it tsas neii proposed and carried', that a Committee, consisting of eve, v►z. Messrs. Gal loway, Prom, Parr, Evans, and Carlile, be a drpii tati„n to wait on Dr. Watson, and the other members of the Committee then sitting, and learn their 'arrangements. for the ptirpose of receiving Mr. Hunt. The Gentlemen named proceedeti immediately to the White Lion, and returned about eleven o'clock, when Mr. Galloway announced that they . had been received witll every, mark.of attention and desire of unanimity. The arrangements the deputation thought extremely judicious, the flags and sentiments.ive,re:,most appropriate, and, above all, the plan roe the -dinner was considered ex tremely judicious. It was first proposed that tickets shou'd. be 130..611. including a bottle of wine, but it •Was afterwards considered that Mr. Ellin( had many old friends, an there were many Reformers beside who could not bear the expence, aril it was thought better to have dinner tickets at is. each. The Reformers.would, thus have an opportunity of giving the lie to the assertion of their adversaries, that they were not a sober people_; and an immense Excise would .not be turthc-r increased, • A motion was next made, that the Committee should co-'operate tor these -purposes collectively and individually, as th(-y pleased ;. which being carried, the whole of the body retired from the Crown_ and Anchor, to consult wi:h the 'Gentle men at the White LETTER Eft= LORD RANCLI,FI7, TO THE ELEC 'TOIIs OF NOTTINGHAM.

[PRICM S.EVENPENCE. FOR THE. SUN. ON CHURCH 'BRIEVS. LETTER IV. MR. nbTXOll,'---1 have purposely confined my self hitherto to the consideration of BRIEFS for the repair or rebuilding of Churches ; but as yotar Correipondent CLERICUS mentions also Briefs for " Losses by Fire, - 1 nund . ations, &c. 1 than regard this as a proper opportunity to in troduce the. little which I have to say o those parts of the subject. It appears to me, that Briefs for these (Netts oast generally be inefii- cent ii theirrselves and, being so, must great ly obstruct the suceeSs of the I . riefs for Churches. The . failure of a Cliurch is a public loss ; it causes an interruption of some pair, perhaps. a matetial part '(if any can be immaterial in such a matter), of the national system of public worship. I t touches strings which ought to vibrate through every nerve of a Christian Community. It ought particularly to h ffec t us at Church, when we are enjoying the very blessing of which we hear that some of our brethren are deprived by inevitable misfortune. But private losses, occasioned by fire, water, or wind, of a very different nature. Gene rally, their amount is too small to MAkt such a mode of relief necessary, or they ought tè have been obviated by insnrance , , or Some other exer tion of prudence. But, under any circuntstances whatever, I am clearly of opinion, that Briefs for such purposes ought to be confined to the County in which the misfortune happens. There the:na.. tare of the case will be generally. known, or easily made known. The urgency may be ascer tained, at least', by a very little inquiry, and the . contribution may be justly proportioned by every individual to what he knows or feels of the merits. I have heard this mentioned, by persons of ex cellent judgment. as the most de•frable - regulation for all Briefs. But, with regard to Churches, this insuperable objection appears to stand against R I that, under such a regulation, the poorer districts, or those in which the Chinches happened to be most dilapidated.; wonlit tie most heavily burdened ; those which were:opu— lent and flonrishing would have,scarcely any calls upon their pious charity. Ccartrcos sayv, that' ' - ` the - nrejudice uga;.,st this mode or collecting does chirtly arise from the parties to be benefited being unknown..' But this would he cornpkiely obviated, as to File Briefs, by their being rendered 'focal. When he adds, " and front its being most genet ally sup. posed, that those named in the Brief are not the real receivers," he only 'revives the prejudice which my three first Letters were intended to de stroy.; I fear he had not read them with mien. lion. All thatfollows,, in his Letter, is equally irrelative, and of no forge whatever, if there is any reason iv my arguments. ‘Vliat he also men tions, respecting the common mode of reading Briefs, arises chiefly from the .number of ~ h em, ,which would be prevented by the separation no.v proposed. It. is occasioned also, in part, by the low opinion generally entertained of theni by the , Clergy, who permit or encourage those elovenly and irregular modes of reading, them, merelybe.! cause they consider it as of no consequence whe ther they arc read at all or not. 'lf they were known and acknowledged to be beneficial, I stn certain that no Clergyman would counienan such an abuse. The practice of theparishes which I have known, his, however, been eery different from what CLERicus statci. 1 hey have been. al ways read before the Sermon by .the Clergyman or Curate, in the Morning,Service, and only offs at a time ; and the Collection; however . has been separately . ,regiitered upon the Brief its - self, according to Law. These mat•ters I shall further dwell upon and explain in a future Letter. Your's, PHILADELPHUS, See THE SUN of August 26, and those there referred to. HERRING FISHERY. • ~.
