LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1833. The resistance to that odious impost, Church Rates, is spreading to the most obscure points of the country. A t Bungay, in Suffolk, the Dissenters have resolved to be no longer bur dened with the expenses of the Church, and one Mr. Mon Rls , who had previously noti fied his intention to pay no longer, suffered the churchwardens to distrain upon his goods. On applying for a warrant of distress, to JOHN GARDEN, Esq., a gentleman whose zeal and activity are well proportioned to his judgment and legal skill in the discharge of his magiste rial functions, he strenuously advised them to desist from a proceeding so unjust, to accomplish the payment of the rate among the members of the Church, and to strike the names of Dissen ters from the assessment. This advice, with a clear premonition of the flame which would be kindled, and a warning of the impolicy of their proposed course, were utterly disregarded. The distress was levied, the goods were, after much delay, clandestinely sold to a small tradesman in the town, at a price which offered a powerful inducement, and they believed the first effort of resistance had been signally and effectually put down. The name of the buyer, however, soon transpired, and before two days were passed he had signed a document expressing deep re gret for the act he had committed, setting forth the baits by which he had been entrapped into the purchase, and requesting, as the most com plete reparation in his power, to be allowed to return the goods to Mr. Moaßis. Accordingly, on Monday morning, they were, by a large con course of people, publicly borne to the house of that gentleman, when he declared that he could not, under such circumstances accept them, and advised that they should be disposed of for the benefit of the poor. :They were then paraded in triumph round the town, with various expressions of popular feeling near the houses of parties sup posed to be interested in either side of the question. We hope the Church will take warn ing by this manifestation of public feeling, before it is too late, and concede, as an act of g race, what must eventually be yielded as matter of necessity. In another column we have given a letter of Mr. POULETT SCROPE'a to the Agriculturists of the West of England, urging them to peti tion Parliament for the establishment of Poor Laws in Ireland. We have long urged the justice, nay, necessity of framing some law which should compel the landlords of Ireland to perform the duty which devolves upon all the possessors of property of taking care that those who have no property, should be brought up and treated as ratio nal bei ngs. It is a d uty, because, unless it be performed, the very insti tution of property is endangered. An ignorant, starving, multitude,-8 tarring because ignorant, —is no respecter of property. The state o f barbarism in which the greater part of the Irish peasantry is actually immers ed, is proved by the continual accounta:vre: have of their brutal attacks upon life and property ; their displays of savage cowardice in attacking helpless indivi duals, even in the streets of London ; their miserable, thoughtless, imprudence. Before men in such a state can become good, peace ful, and happy citizens of a civilised com munity, they must be either tamed by star vation, like wild beasts, or by proper food, kind treatment, and instruction, like human beings. The first is out of the question in the case of Ireland. The temporary establishment of a well regulated poor law is what we have long advocated as the mode by which opportunity will be gained for making this great change in the social condition of Ireland. We agree, therefore, in the conclusion arrived at by Mr. POULETT SCROPE, but differ from him in his reasoning. He urges the agriculturists to petition for poor laws in Ireland, because the want of them, he says, enables the Irish farmer to undersell the English, who is therefore distressed. This is a mistake. The Irish far mer derives no benefit in being exempted from poor rate ; nor is the English farmer injured by it. The English farmer calculates, or ought to calculate, what are the total out-goings of a farm, and see how far they are covered by the incomings. A diminution of rate, a diminution in the price of labour, a rise in the price of food, would do him no permanent good, but his landlord, whose rent would be increased. So it is his landlord who now suffers by being obliged to support English paupers, partly on account of the influx of Irish labour. In the same manner, it is not the Irish farmer who profits by the low rate of wages, and consequent misery of the Irish labourer, but his landlord—the landlord who has neglected all the duties thrown upon him by his position in society, and who must now adopt the measures we have pointed out for the comfort and civilization of his tenantry, or shortly expect to see a refusal to pay rent, as well as refusal to pay tithe. Partly in reference to the above subject, we may notice a project for making a canal between the city of Kilkenny and Inistioge, printed in a parliamentary return now before us. It ap pears that the estimated expense of the canal is 102,5271., half of which at least is sought to be obtained from the public purse. The advantages of the canal are thus stated in the surveyor's report : " The merchants of Kilkenny would be enabled, with. out difficulty, and at a very moderate expense, to select the most suitable market for their export produce, and, which is ofgreat importance in the bacon and butter trade, to retain those articles in their own warehouses, till the suitable moment for their export arrives, which cannot be effected at present, owing to the impossibility of trans porting by land a considerable quantity in a very short time. Independently of the traffic in the commercial ar ticles above enumerated, the agriculture of the country would derive considerable stimulus and advantage from the cheap rate at which large districts would be enabled to procure limestone for manure, from the extensive quar ries and cliffs of that substance, situated immediately above Thomastown, and from thence to Kilkenny. " The country on both banks of the river Nore, to the eastward and southward of Thomastown, and also of both banks of the river Barrow, from Graignamanagh to Wa terford, contains no limestone; and the industrious inha bitants of those extensive districts are at present obliged to procure their lime from the quarries near to Waterford, which are worked at considerable expense, where the stone is sold at a very high rate, and from whence the farmers have to encounter a great length of land carriage over the mountain roads. Were the farmers enabled to procure lime at half the present cost, I have no doubt that the produce in corn, throughout a very large district, would be doubled in a few years ; not so much from the additional extent of land which would be cultivated, but what is of more importance, the great increase in the produce of the land now under cultivation, which at present, owing to the cost of lime, is only half manured, and, in consequence, yields such scanty crops as are hardly sufficient to repay the expense of cultivation." So that to enable the Kilkenny provision merchants to pursue their trade with less trouble, and to benefit the property of the Earl of CAR,. RICK, and other landowners, on the line of the intended canal, the public is to be called upon to pay fifty thousand pounds, or probably twice as much. No doubt the public at large would reap some benefit from the undertaking ; but all experience has proved that works which prima rily concern private individuals should be left to the enterprize of private individuals. The rail way between London and Birmingham, or Bristol is comparably a greater national work than a Kilkenny canal, but it has been left to the enterprise of private individuals, and, as the result proves, properly so. Let there be some kind of poor law established iii Ireland, let the landlords of that country have an additional motive given them for employing the poor, and we shall speedily see the Kilkenny Canal, and many other works of national utility and private emolument, undertaken. We are glad to hear that the request of the merchants for the establishment of a direct Post office intercourse with Spain, by Corunna, is to be complied with. In consequence of the prevalence of stormy weather, we are without arrivals to-day from Paris. The papers of Sunday, which arrived last night, contain no information of interest from Spain. The Journal des Debats states that a telegraphic despatch had been received from Bayonne, announcing that General SAARS piELD was, on the 28th ult., marching from Miranda to Vittoria. The private letters from Madrid, via France, are not cheering. The insurgents are said to have gained ground, and the ferment in Madrid was so great, that the QUEEN had not ventured for some days to appear in public. There is no notice of Don CARLOS. The last accounts of him received here by our Go vernment, and the Spanish Minister, stated that he was still in Portugal, at a small town about two leagues from Alcantara. Our contemporary, the Morning Post, is very facetious in alluding to the following por tion of the last report of Dr. BOWRING to the Government : "Pusuc Ornirox BitArrcx.—l consider this a very important branch. To collect and arrange the expression of publi c op i n i on under the different appropriate heads, and to preserve, for the purpose of legislation and future utility, all those suggestions which at present are local and transitory, a Report Was daily made to the late Prime Minister of France of the opinions of the newspapers on all topics of public interest. In a statistical department all newspapers should be brought together which afford any means of instruction. Their facts should be distri• buted to the different branches they concern ; their opinions should be collected and arranged in the Public Opinion Branch. I know of no Government which is not, in some way ot• other ) occupied in ascertaining the state of the public mind ; but the steps taken are for the most part rude and imperfect, though the elements might be easily organized, and made in the highest degree in structive. The most valuable and accredited newspapers or periodicals of other countries would, of course, be sub jected to the same analysis. No intelligent and benevolent man can have lived in a civilized foreign land without grieving over the quantity of valuable matter which is now lost to his country, but which might have been made se undoubtedly and extensively useful." The Post says," Was such nonsense ever before dreamt of?" and " Mercy on us ! the opinions of the Times, for instance, or the facts, either collected and arranged, and distributed to the different branches they concern." Would it not have been as well if this face tious commentator had attempted something in the way of argument to substantiate his charge against Dr. BOWRING cf having written non sense ? We think it would. A contemporary, like the Post, who seems to have such a horror of (Whig) expenditure and (Whig) jobs might have seen some utility i n the plan propos e d by the Doctor, the adoption of which would render unnecessary four-fifths of those expensive Commissions which the Post has characterized as mere jobs. There are in England more than three hundred newspapers, the con ductors of which are men of education, expe rience, and knowledge of the world. Almost every town of note has its newspaper, some towns have three or four. Who can be so well acquainted with local facts, as the conductors of local papers ?—who so competent to give an opinion of the state of public opinion, as those whose property is affected by it at every turn ? But as to facts ! If the conductors of newspapers were aware, that instead of being treated with a contempt bordering on insolence by official persons, the information which they have it in their power to communicate on every subject according to their localities, would be received with thankfulness and undergo proper conside ration from the Government, would not they make it a point to store their columns with the practical information necessary for the welfare of society at large ? What need would there be of poor law commissions, factory commissions, and GOD knows how many other commissions, which are now convenient jobs for the partisans and dependants of a Government, if Ministers could in one department concentrate a better kind of information than that which, by means of com missions, they now receive. With this view of the subject even the Post must, we think, after a little consideration, coincide. But mercy on us ! says the Post, only think of the opinions of the Times being " collected" and " arranged." And why not ? 'Would not the opinions of the Post also be " collected" and " arranged ?" And if it should be found, on reference to the Stamp returns, that the circu lation of the Post was steadily and permanently five times larger than that of the Times, would not Ministers be usefully enlightened as to the state of public opinion thus represented by the Post? And if the reverse should prove to be the fact, would not Ministers derive a useful caution as to the course they should steer, lest, taking the Post to be the fair representative of public opinion, they should bring the public upon their backs while endeavouring to conciliate their Tory friends ? The truth is, that Ministers have not paid that attention to the press, as the organ of public opinion, which it deserves, and the sooner their error is amended the better for themselves and the nation, even though it should rouse the anger and excite the horror of the Morning Post.

EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION. On Wednesday last, at our Town Hall, a most extra ordinary case was brought before the Rev. Wm. Powell, Chairman, and a bench of Magistrates. A tolerably good looking woman, genteelly attired, and whose appearance indicated respectability, appeared by warrant before the Magistrates to answer the charge of a man named Brooks. The defendant gave her name Eliza Rogers, and appeared to be about 28 years of age. Mr. Brooks, who has a gentlemanly deportment, charged the said Elisa Rogers with marrying and living with another man, at the same time knowing him (Brooks), her first husband, to be in existence. Brooks then told the follow ing explanatory tale :—He was a native of London, and belonged to a regiment of Lancers. About 15 years ago, the regiment were in barracks at Brecon, when he fell in love with the prisoner, whose maiden name was Williams. She was not then quite 15 years of age. He wooed and won her, and she consented to become his wife. The proposed match reached the ears of his officer, who issued to complainant his strict commands against it ; but if " stoney limits can't hold love out," neither can the com mands of an officer enforce obedience from the disciplined soldier, when love, "with its silken bands," leads its vo tary to another shrine. Brooks, like many a great man before him, found that to he " wise and love exceeds man's might,"—in short, he married the defendant, and although immediately afterwards placed in confinement, his solitary moments were cheered with the blissful thought, that his Eliza was near and loved him. He looked forward to a speedy release from his prison house, and hoped, when the anger of his officer had passed away, he should be returned to the society of his wife. But, alas ! day rolled on after day, and yet poor Brooks continued a prisoner. He now became very desponding, and feared he was destined to be separated from his Eliza ; he felt with Racine's Britannicus, that " toujours quelque crainte accompagne l' amour ;" the soldier's sad forebodings were realised ; orders arrived tor the instant removal of the regiment to the East Indies! and the young husband was hurried away, being scarcely permitted to take a parting kiss from his blooming and beautiful bride. He embarked at Bristol ; Eliz I with a heavy heart attended him to the vessel, but she was for bidden to accompany him. The separation was affecting, and Gay's feeling description in his sweet ballad, found a living illustration in the parting of the young soldier from his bride : " The Boatswain gave the dreadful word, The sails their swelling bosom spread. No longer must she stay aboard, They kiss'd, she sigh'd, he hung his head, Her less'ning boat unwilling rows to land, Adieu!' she cries, ' Adieu !' and waves her lily hand." Years passed away; and though Brooks was many thousand miles from his wife, yet he believed their hearts were linked in an indissoluble bond of oneness ; he corres ponded, and frequently remitted large sums of money to his wife in England, who duly acknowledged them as to kens of his undying love. At length, after an absence of 15 years, Brooks having been awarded a pension of ss. a day, received his discharge, and returned to his native land. On his arrival, he flew on the wings of love to seek hie Eliza; but " 0, woman, thy name is not fidelity ! " The soldier found her—hut, alas! although he had been a faithful Ulysses, Eliza Williams bad not proved a con stant Penelope. He found her, it is true—but not his fond, expecting wife, but the matronly helpmate of a Mr. Eneas Rogers, who lived in Wales, and whom she had blessed with three children. Brooks was astounded— what ! his Eliza the wife of another roan, and the mother of three children ? Still, with such damning proof of her inconstancy, yet be loved her ; he remonstrated, but in vain ; he threatened, still in vain ; and he now appeared before the Rev. Vicar of Ahergavenny and his brother magistrates, and, in the name of the laws of England, claimed Eliza as his lawful wife. The magistrates, who had listened with great attention to the romantic tale of the soldier, called upon ENNA Brooks to answer the charge which had been brought against her. The lady pouted, was sulky, then hung her nether lip, and positively refused to answer to the name of Brooks. The soldier was now asked if be would release her from the bonds of holy ma trimony? " Not for worlds!" he exclaimed ; " nothing shall separate us, for I dearly love her." Mr. Eneas Rogers was in attendance ; both he and Brooks were asked if either would prefer a charge of Bigamy against her ; but both declined, for Elisa had evidently built a citadel in the hearts of Brooks and Eneas Rogers. The magistrates then decided that she must live with Brooks, and if any persons attempted to molest or separate them, they enjoined him to have them taken into custody. To this arrangement the lady appeared unwilling to accede ; the eyes of Brooks brightened, and the brow of Rogers wore a gloomy anger. At length the stream of first love seemed to gush from Eliza's heart; her eyes glistened and her hand trembled a moment's struggle, and she gave that hand to the soldier. ghl l , 3 lieo r sr o r yb oks p orff;o,wwhh r he e i al s eda s e pp d bpoeeo i ea t in h rnr ejdus, just encircled m Eneas oernßec o oi s pgr t creloreu sd,dswith to affectionately, riftohuhbiasl evid a triumph, wreath eoai.t d n ihgo , as afei nt iledtneal deep if py d sigh.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THORE V. LEE AND OTHERS. Sir E. SUDDEN and Mr. PARKER appeared for the plaintiffs, the younger children of the late Thos. Hardy, Esq., of Wakefield, Yorkshire, to move for an order calling upon Mr. Lee, one of the defendants, to pay into Court to the credit of this cause, a sum of upwards of 16,0001. part of the assets of Mr. Hardy. The deceased left considerable property. He appointed Lee and the others trustees, directing a part of his real estates to he sold, and certain sums to be invested for the benefit of his younger children. Mr. Lee only acted in the trust. He had sold the allotted part of the real estates, and had received in all about 44,0001., according to his own ad missions. The plaintiffs agreed that he had properly laid out and expended 27,0001. and a fraction. He alleged that he had, over and above that sum, paid a large account to, and for the benefit of, the eldest son, for which he was also entitled to credit. The plaintiffs denied that, or at all events contended that this was not the proper time for bim to receive credit for such an outlay ; and that, therefore, the 16,0001. ought to be ordered into Court. Mr. PErars and Mr. Jacon appeared for Mr. Lee, to resist the order. They contended that the Court could not be converted into a Master's office, and be compelled to go through the accounts, without which it would be impossible, upon the contradictions in the pleadingP, for his Lordship to come to a correct knowledge of what was in the defendant's hands. In this stage the Court could not interfere in laying hold of more than the defendant, by his answers, had distinctly admitted himself to be in possession of. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not think he could be called upon to take the accounts. The defendant alleged that be had properly laid out certain sums; the plaintiffs denied that statement, and how was the Court to know the true state of the case without going through the figures? Sir E. SuanErt said it was every day's practice It was a duty forced upon the Court, from which it could not re tire. It was, in fact, not a taking of the accounts, but a checking of them. His LORDSHIP directed the case to go on, and it w a s being argued at length upon the details when we left the Court. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) DOE ON THE DEMISE OF LEWIS V. EARL CAWDOR. This action was tried before Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, at the late assizes for Glamorgaushire, when a verdict was found for the plaintiffs. The Soucirou-GENERAL now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, or why there should not be a nonsuit entered. He said the action was brought to recover possession of a smelting house and furnance, in the county of Carmarthen, which were built by the late Earl Cawdor, upon a piece of waste land, which was situated in a lordship of which he was superior ; and, as a matter of course, if such was the case, it was built upon his own property. At the time the building was put up, the father of the plaintiff was soli citor and agent for the late Lord, and it was by his advice that the property was put up, and the whole expense of 8001. was incurred, and passed through his hands and during his life, and, indeed, up till the present plaintiff, and the Earl Cawdor had disagreed there was no pretence set up that the fee was not in the d-fendant. Now, however, the plaintiff claimed that he was owner of the fee by the devise of his father, who had purchased it along with a farm, called the Penrose Farm, of which he contended that it formed a part. The house stood upon about half an acre of land, and it was proved at the trial that the worth of it was only 2s. 6d. an acre. The case set up by the plaintiffs was, that the land be longed to, and formed part of, the Penrose farm, and that Lord Cawdor paid rent for it in the shape of a set-off, the renting a field of him in the rent of which the other was considered. The evidence be adduced was, that the tenants of the Penrose farm had formerly had a sheepfold on the land—that an award had been made for an Enclo sure Act for the lordship, in which the commissioners had not included that part as waste. For the defence it was shown that the people of the neighbouring town had a right, and did actually pasture their cattle without leave, or let from the tenants of the farm ; and that nothing was more common for small strips like the present to be neg lected by commissioners, but still that did Rot take the fee from the Lord. Lord LYNDHURST said that all that was for the Jury, and unless the Learned Judge was dissatisfied with the verdict, they could not grant the rule. The SOLICITOR-GHNERAL said perhaps their Lord ships would consult the Lear,ned Judge, for otherwise it would be useless for him to take a rule upon that part of the case. Then, as to the other part of it, surely it was not very tender to the memory of the late Mr. Lewis t• say, that he would advise his Lord to expend eight hun dred pounds upon a piece of land which belonged to him self, and for which he might bring an action of ejectment the very day after it was finished ; and he being an attor.. ney, it was scarcely possible to suppose that he was uuac• quainted with his rights. The Couwr granted a rule Nisi for a nonsuit. The other part of the case stands over till their Lordship con sult ➢lr. Justice Bosanquet. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT.......7LATER. V. ABBOTT. His Honour, the MASTER of the ROLLS, gave judg ment this morning in this case, the question on which depended on the will of Sir William Plater. By that will the leasehold and copyhold estates were devised to trustees and their heirs, upon trust, to raise the fine, to be paid upon admission by sale, or mortgage, or out of the rents and profits. Also the expense of maintaining and keeping in repair the buildings, the payment of the land tax, and other annual outgoings, payable from the estates, and also the expense of the trust. That sale, or mort gage, was nut confined to the copyhold estates, but related to the whole of the devised property. Subject to that direction, the will gave to the widow an annuity of 2001. a year, in lieu of dower, and, subject thereto, the whole of the property was left to a Mrs. Moore, the only child of the testator, with remainder after her death to her children, but, in default of issue, to several persons for life, with ultimate remainder to the children of the last named person. The whole proceeds of the estate amounted to 8001. a year, and the fine demanded for the admission to the copyhold property was 1,4001. That fine had not yet been paid, the trustees doubting their power to exact it, and the question in the case was, out of what fund it should be paid—whether it was to be paid out of the annual rents and profits, or by sale or mortgage, ac cording to the express statement of the will, it being to be raised out of either. In the opinion of his Honour, it was impossible that it could be paid out of the annual rents and profits, inasmuch as it was a sum immediately de mandable; it must, therefore, under the direction of the will, be raised by sale or mortgage, and then came the question, whether that sum, being to be raised in that way, the tenant for life was or not to contribute out of the an• nual rents and profits towards the payment of that sum. The only arguments on the face of the will that could be raised in favour of contribution by the tenant for life, ap peared to the Court to be that the sale or mortgage was not merely for the purpose of raising the fine, but .ilso to pay the expenses of maintaining and keeping in repair the building, the payment of the land tax, and other annual outgoings, and also the expenses of the trust. It might very properly be said that the expenses of keeping in re pair, and so on, necessarily fell on the rents and profits, and that the testator having used the words that the estate was to be sold for the payment of the fine and the other sums mentioned, it was reasonable to suppose that he meant that the whole should be paid out of the rents and profits. That was an argument of some weight ; but his Honour thought it snore reasonable to consider the intention of the testator to be, in giving the power to sell or mortgage, or to make the payments out of the annual rent and profits, that the trustees should use the power of sale or mortgage with respect to such subjects as could not be satisfied by the annual rents and profits. Now the fine could not be paid by the annual rents and profits for the reason the Court had previously stated. Such being the opinion of the Court, the next question was, whether the tenant for life was to contribute; and with respect to that, from the testator's will, the necessary inference was, that be did not in tend that his daughter should contribute, because if she did so, she could not enjoy the clear rents and pro fits, because there was no fund out of which she could pay her proportions of the fine, but out of the rents and profits. The testator had clearly expressed his intenti on that his daughter should not contribute, inasmuch as he had provided a fund for the payment of the fine. The di rection of the Court would therefore be, that she should not contribute. It might, however, he said th a t t h e two trustees who were to be admitted might die during the life of the tenant for life, and that the estate would then determine, and a new fine would be necessary, which would be thrown upon the general inheritance. That case certainly might occur, and the tenant for life would have the benefit, and the remaining man be left without any thing that certainly might be the cos. te a 1 1 sequence ; but such were the consequences crea the testator himself, for whom the Court was not now 3 upon to make a will, but to consider his i n tentioo• deot J his will, in the opinion of the Court, he had b ard his estate with the payment of the fine, on all ac ia9 to the copyhold, which he had limited, in strict se ttler !) together with his freehold estate.
