Last night the fifty-sixth anniversary of the ac quittal of Hardy, Tooke, and Thelwall, was cele brated at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, when about 140 gentlemen sat down to dinner under the presidency of Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., who was supported by Mr. J. J. Toulrnin Smith, M. Pulski, Mr. W. Newman, Mr. J. H. Parry, Dr. Epps, Mr. Charles Pollen, of Massachusetts, &c. After the cloth was removed, The CHAIRMAN said, were there no other reason for upholding that annual commemoration this would be a valid one—that it brought together the veteran reformers of a past generation, who were passing away from among them, and the young reformers of the present generation. They had still among them men who had joined in the shouts which greeted the acquittal of Hardy and his co-patriots, and whose presence was calculated to excite a lively sense of the importance of that struggle, and of the blessed re sults of the decision of that jury. The object of these meetings was to preserve the memory of these brave men, and, at the same time, to keep alive attachment to the great principle for adherence to which they were prosecuted the principle which was involved in the toast to which he was about to draw their attention. We had derived that principle from remote antiquity in the history of this country, and it was yet young in its action. That principle was the sovereignty of the people.—( Hear.) It had been at various times asserted and practically acted upon in our history by the decapitation of one monarch, and the abdication of another, and no one principle of government had a firmer footing than that all power was derived from the people, and that those who exercised that power were responsible to the people. In holding that principle, however, they did not desire an Athenian but a British constitution. —(Hear.) They did not claim for all a direct exer cise of power, save through representative institutions; and be, for one, said these representative institutions could never be just, equal, or perfect, until they were based on the universality of the suffrage. Other movements short of that might deserve encouragement and support for the time being, but that was the ulti matum to which he looked forward. In giving that toast he was in fact giving what, in their own words, was the principle of the Corresponding Society, whose early exertions in the cause of popular freedom they had met to commemorate. He gave " The Sove reignty of the People." The toast having been drunk with cheers, _ The CHAIRMAN again rose and said, if they were met to discuss their spiritual, not their political, con dition, it might be a question whose authority they were living under.—(Great laughter and cheers.) They were living in the diocese of Charles James Bishop of London, and also in that of Nicholas, Arch bishop of Westminster.—(Renewed laughter.) Whose lordship were they to acknowledge ? "The pulpit drum-ecclesiastic" had been beaten last Sunday more vigorously than it had been since the days of Hudi bras. But leaving these shepherds to struggle for the fleece of their flocks—(Laughter)—the one for the mitre, the other for the red hat of the Cardinal—leav ing them, he would say that they were all agreed in recognising the fact that they owed allegiance to our Sovereign Lady the Queen. She did not hold her throne by apostolic succession, but by a better title, the affection and the confidence of her people.— (Cheers.) With all their radicalism, their reforming tendencies, their democratic feeling, he was confident that every assemblage of Englishmen would, with true cordiality and kind feeling, drink the " Health of her Majesty Queen Victoria." The toast was drunk with great applause, and the usual demonstrations of respect. Mr. T. SMITH then gave " Trial by Jury, the pal ladium of British liberty." He rejoiced exceedingly to see on that day so numerous a company assembled to prove the value in which they held that institution. There never was a time in which it was more neces sary for men who valued free institutions to come forth in their support than the present, when an all grasping centralizStion was making greater inroads on our constitutional liberties than had been known even in the days of the Tudors and the Stuarts. Attacks were made insidiously upon trial by jury, and every means taken to stop it. But it was only necessary for them to recal the circumstances under which that right grew up, and to recollect also how, 56 years ago, that institution had rescued from the fangs of op pression those whose memory they that day cele brated, in order to show the importance of these in stitutions. With the gradual absorption of the inde pendent class of freeholders in the olden times, had grown up the gradual decay of our system of self government. Parliament had gradually encroached upon the rights of the people, and one of the conse quences was to be seen in our gigantic national debt. In all stages of a nation's progress they were liable to have attacks made upon popular liberty, and it was their duty to be ever watchful end determined in pro tecting them. The Learned Gentleman concluded by proposing " Trial by Jury," which was duly honoured. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the memory of those 12 men who in 1794 were acquitted, and in their own persons showed how trial by jury threw a shield over the innocent. For many years after their acquit tal some of them were present at that festival, and contributed by their presence to give a thrilling per sonal interest to it. They were now all gone, yet still the commemoration survived, and would survive. Many things had changed during the interval. Pitt and Fox clubs had fallen into decay, but here they were as ardent and zealous as ever in support of that great institution, and as prepared to do honour to those in whose persons its value had been so vividly demonstrated. Not one of those twelve men had in after life fallen beneath the high position they had tilled as honest, consistent, and censtitutionsl re formers. All had nobly sustained themselves by their respective vocations, and at last sunk into their graves with the respect, esteem, and the tears of all good men. —(Cheers.) He had himself been struck in his early age with the fact, that those who were persecuted by the Government were not bad or vicious men, or men of irregular habits, but sober, simple, honest men, of good character; and it was such men as these that the Government of that day sought to make die the death of dogs for their political opinions. The Government sent spies and informers among them, who reported their own san guinary speeches. Every means was resorted to for the purpose of hunting up laws to condemn them. They were imprisoned in dungeons, and shifted from prison to prison without their papers being sent after them, and some did not receive them until too late to be of any use. Then again the trials were protracted to an extraordinary extent, altogether thirty days were consumed with an attempt to put a number of nothings together in order to make constructive treason. This was what wai defeated by the verdict of the jury at that time. That was the policy of our rulers, and of a king called a religious king—a nar row-minded bigot, who shed more blood, spent more treasure, and lost more territory than any one who ever sat on the English throne.—(Cheers.) All the ruling influences, all the bats and beasts who thrive upon corruption, all were allied to crush those honest, simple men, who believed and declared that God had made all men free and equal.—(Cheers.) Had they succeeded it would have struck a mortal blow at freedom, and left us nothing worthy of living for as Englishmen. If their first trial had succeeded, there was no knowing how many more judicial murders would have been committed. These men fought their battle bravely, nobly, and they had their reward while they lived, in the love of their fellow men— they had their reward now, in the deep veneration with which those now assembled commemorated their great and ennobling victory. The toast was drunk with applause. Mr. H. PARRY gave the memory of Muir, Palmer, Margarot, Skerving, and , the other Scotch patriots, who were convicted between 1792 and 1794 by ser vile Scotch juries and prejudiced Scottish judges. He expressed his regret that on these occasions they had no Scotchmen present who was conversant with the details of these cases, and he could not but express a hope that, before their next meeting, a communica tion would be opened up with persons in Edinburgh, or some other Scotch city, by which either some one directly connected with those who suffered, or some Scotchmen who felt an interest in these matters, would be present.—(Cheers.) The toast having been honoured, Mr. FRANCIS W. NEWMAN proposed the memory of the brave Hungarians who have lately struggled so nobly for their long-inherited liberties, and who have fallen in their attempts to vindicate the laws of their country, and the system of local self-go vernment. The toast was drunk in silence, and was responded to by N. Pur.sKr, who was received with great applause, and in a brief add ress expresse d hi s grat i tu d e. Th e principle of local self-government was what they had struggled for in Hungary. There was no dispute as to the form of government. They were not repub licans—all they demanded was that the ancient con stitutional rights of Hungary should be preserved. Those. who had fallen had fought and suffered for Hungarian independence. In the name of the dead —in the name of their exiles in Asia, he desired to return thanks for this commemoration of their martyrs.—(Great applause.) Several other toasts appropriate to the occasion were given, and after a vote of thanks to the chair mart the party broke tip, apparently highly gratified. THE POLES AND THE POLISH BILL. Yesterday a meeting of the friends of the Polish refugees forming the Entertainment Committee, for the regulation of the projected Polish Ball, met at Guildhall, in the Alderman's ante-chamber ; Deputy Holt presided. A large number ofgentlemen were present, amongst whom we noticed Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P. ; T. C. Anstey, M.P. ; Deputy Peacock, Deputy Oh bard, Deputy Britten, Mr. G. Walter, Mr. Snelling, Mr. Barber, Mr. Cotterell, Mr. Johnston (Cornhill), Mr. Johnstone, of the Temple; Mr. Young, Mr. Waterlow, Mr. Game, Mr. Knott, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Carter, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. R. Re a d, Mr. Astell, and Mr. Bishop. Mr. CARR having read the minutes of the former meeting, the same were unanimously confirmed: Letters having been read from Sir Moses Monte fibre and other gentlemen, regretting their inability to attend, Lord DUDLEY STUART said—l am very happy to see so full a committee assembled to-day, and I must say that I consider this to be a most favourable omen to the success of our undertaking. I dare say you have, all of you, been exerting yourselves towards that end, and I hope that each of you has a satisfactory report to make of your labours. So far as I can see, our prospects are most flattering. In reply to the applica tions which I have made for patronage, I have re ceived a great many kind replies, in some instances ac companied by substantial proofs of sympathy, and no refusals ; so that our charitable undertaking has the sanction not only of the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, and the Sheriffs, but also, of a long list of noble and distinguished names. — (Hear) I think it may also claim the approval of every kind, humane, and reflecting person—(Hear,hear)—for I am willing to attribute the very unkind attacks that have been made upon it, in some of the public prints, to want of reflection, rather than to any more reprehensible motive.—(Hear, hear.) That many should decline coming to the ball, or otherwise assisting us, I can well understand. They do not like such entertain ments—some may even disapprove of dancing. They have other calls on their time—other claims on their money ;—what they have to spare they prefer spend ing in some other way, or perhaps bestowing on some other charity. Well, let all such go their way and follow the bent of their own minds. I never feel any ill humour when my applications for the Poles are met by the allegation that the persons applied to cannot spare anything from our own poor, if 1 believed the excuse to be sincere; but why can not they be satisfied with g iving us the pain of a denial, without complaining as if our charitable undertaking were an offence?—(Cheers.) Above all, why should influential organs of the press take p a i ns to render it abortive? is there anything wron g i n giving a ball at LI ? Some rigid EEO s'ists may think so ; but these had better attack the balls of the rich and prosperous, having no object except frivolity ; and when these are put down it would be time enough to wage war against such as are undertaken for the pur pose of softening the hard lot of the miserable, and smoothing a little the rugged path of exile. —(Cheers.) The Polish ball, however, has been ob jected to on no such grounds ; and if a party of gen tlemen had obtained from the Court of Common Council the use of the Guildhall merely in order to give them a bachelor's ball, or any other entertain ment where amusement was not the means, but the sole use and aim, not a word probably would have been said against it.—(A laugh.) It is not wrong, then, to give a ball at Guildhall ; but it is wrong, it seems, to give it for the Poles. Let me ask why is this wrong? The only answer that can be made it, either that the Poles are undeserving, or that they stand in the way of some other still more de serving obj(cts. The first is assumed by the objectors one and all, and if the assumption were well founded they would be in the right. If it can be shown that the proceeds of former balls have been bestowed upon men able but unwilling to work, and who have the opportunity if they choose to exert themselves, of finding employment—if that can be shown; then will the Polish ball not deserve support.—(Hear.) It has been argued that because many of the Polish exiles came to this country im mediately after the last Polish war of independence, some 18 or 19 years ago, that therefore they must all by this time have got the means of supporting them selves ; and the example of Louis Philippe in exile is pointed at maintaining himself by the exercise of his own talents and acquirements. Pray, let me ask, is every man in this country who was-well off, or in the enjoyment of competence, eighteen or nineteen, or even ten or five years ago, in the same condition now ? Has not one of those, then prosperous, since been by circumstances, over which he had no possible control, reduced to the extremity of distress ? Or, are there not, on the contrary, hundreds, or thousands in that predicament ? Why, then are the Poles to forali e s s i i t n u dtLiemos Louis - - s by ( H h ei Philippes ar o , nt h o e e a ex r a . er ) rnt o l hn t i ss was Circum stanceshmo oods be considered and treated as if they were exempt be f a t h r s o n i m l u did afterwards relieved hi m f rom t h at necessity ;i but if these circumstances had not occurred, if he had continued to have nothing but his talents to depend npon, and if sicknes s , incapacity, or oth e r casualty had deprived him of thel capability of using those talents, be might and would have found him self, notwithstanding his former success, in a state of absolute indigence. Just such is the condition of many a Polish refugee, represented by some heart less, or thoughtless writer, as wholly undeserving of all pity, because he has been here a certain number of years, and may have had, and taken opportunities of earning, during a portion of that time, a scanty and among p e Pulese (ue ar. i sl t c o o ulbde namefound t om you,any precarious livelihood. Let me, h owever, add that if. — a t o L e s names were proper, more than cne who, having during his early days of exile, folio sved pre cisely that example, and supported himself by giving lessons in the sciences or the accomplish ments of which he was master, has since found means to enter on the field of commerce, and by care and frugality attained to the position which those I am addressing enjoy, or at least to something at a humble distance approaching it—l mean that of a merchant in this city, and is not only able b u t a l wa y s willing to afford something fur his less fort una t e brethren. When it is laid the Poles ought, af ter so man y y e ars, to support themselves, I reply a g rea t man y do; but it is for those who do not, because they cannot, and for those only, that assistance is a s k e d. Some have returned to their own country, there found employ. ment, and after a time been again ejected and driven here, for no other fault but the share they bore in the war of independence which, as th e o bjectors to our charity take care to remind us, terminated n ineteen years ago. I have lately see n it s t ate d as a matter of complaint, in reference to the su bj ect i n the leading article of a newspaper, that there is n o statute of li mitation with regard to claims on charity. I am sure that while to tyranny " nullum tempo occ urrit" I hope no lapse of time will ever b ar that sympathy which every true Engli s h man an d e very Christian feels for him who su ff ers i n the discharge of his duty.—(Cheers.) I h ave taken every opportunity of s t a ti ng , on a ll occas ions when have solicited assi s ta nce f or th e Poles, and have repeated it more th an once i n thi s room wit h in the last month, that the ass o ciati o n to whom the p rocee ds of the ball are entru s t e d d oes no t employ them on idle persons unwilling to work, but applies in the relief of sickness. At the very las t meetin g of we the association, last Wednesday, them chiefly amongst many others, two cases o f had b fore us, helpless con sumption, and one of a man who, being em p lo y ed on a lously escaped with his life, the railway, was run ove r by an engine and miracu passed over both his legs. He carriage having is now a cripple, but unfortunately, h av i ng b een in the em ploy of a con tractor, and not of the company directly, he has no claim upon the latter for relief. Doe s any one think he disposes of the former cases by referring me to the Consumption Hospital ? The Consumption Hospital ! Yes. Pray how long does it take ge nerally, after an order has b een p rocure d t o get a patient in, and what is to become of a miserable wretch, in a gloomy No vember in Lond on , s hi ve ring in an a dvanc ed state of consumpti on , w ith ou t the means of procuring any of the comf o rt s requ isite to keep h im alive , until admitted to the lo ng -desired vacant bed ? — (Elear, hear.) The railway directors may, at the inst ance of the Association, and their own good feelings, relax their rules—do something for the victims on their line. But while they are deliberating who is to give income to the cripple in his bed of agony ? In my preceding remarks I have referred chiefly to the men of education—the officer, the person who has been in early life in the condition of a gentleman— but are those of humbler condition to be considered unworthy of sympathy ? The man who has left the plough, the loom, and the workshop, to take up arms for Poland, he cannot follow in the track of Louis Philippe;_ and do you think it is eas y for him, in t he streets of this London, where so many mechanics and artificers of our own nation are constantly want ing work—is it easy for him, with his broken En glish and foreign accent, to find employment, and through all changes to keep it ? It is not easy, and it is often, with the best will in the world, w h o ll y impracticable. And while I am speaking of working men, allow me to pay a just tribute to the generous natures of our own working men. Ever ready to hold out the hand of fellowship and assistance to their fellow-man, of whatever creed or country, and to spare to the exile a portion of their own hard earned pittance, often setting a noble example to those who, in the gifts of fortune, are immeasurably their superiors. Well, gentlemen, I think I have shown you that the Poles, whom it is proposed to as sist, are not undeserving. They are not idle, disor derly, immoral persons. It is not those we assist, but men driven into exile in consequence of discharging their duty as they understood it; men whose misfor tunes are not of their own creation, and who only do not work when no work can be had, or when incapa citated from taking it.—(Hear, hear.) That is my reply to those who are opposed to our ball on the ground that its objects are unworthy. If, through the instrumentality of the ball, which forms a splendid sight, such as is rarely to be witnessed, which affords much innocent pleasure to a great number of persons, and which causes some money to circulate, pro Canto benefiting trade ; if through this ball we can obtain the means of succouring men in the condition I have described, and relieving such misery as I have por trayed, surely we may feel that in promoting it, we are doing a laudable act, and one which, while we are engaged in, ought to make us view the efforts of our adversaries, who seem so strangely incorporated against us, rather with pity than any other emotion. One objection that has been made to us is, that a ball being a festive scene, is an incongruous mode of re lieving distress. It is said, how ridiculous it would have been to give a public dinner for the relief of the famine in Skibbereen, and it is equally absurd to give a ball for the relief of the Poles. It may be called absurd, but it is not more absurd in the case of the Poles than in that of any other charity. Time out of mind there have been in this country charity balls. Right or wrong, it is the received custom in England to promote, by means of festive entertain meets, more frequently dinners, than any other. There is scarcely a charitable institution in London that has not its annual dinner, and why it should be more absurd to have a Polish ball than a Spitalfields ball, or a needlewomen's ball, I think it would be hard to say ; or why more ridiculous to replenish the funds of the Polish Association by dancing than those of the Blind School, the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, the Free Hospital, or any other such institution, by consuming the good cheer of the London Tavern. — (Cheers.) Objections of this character, so flimsy and far-fetched, astonish me much, but what sur prises me most is that our adversaries do not per ceive that by their attacks they give to an undertak ing purely of a charitable nature an importance and a prominence which do not belong to it, and 'which, but for them, it never could have acquired, and that thereby they do us much more good than harm. On former occasions we have been accus tomed to see paragraphs, and here and there a letter about the Polish Ball, pro and con. but now we have leading articles on both sides, and daily and weekly papers discussing the subject as they might a revolu tion or a treaty of peace. Reverting, however, to my argument, I said that the objectors to our ball must show that the Poles were undeserving, or that the ball stood in the way of some other persons more de serving. I have shown that they are not unde serving. I now say that the ball stands in the way of no other charity. Whenever we have bad reason to think that the hall would be applied for by the promoters of any other charity we have made way for them. Last year we made no application for it. No one else did, the hall stood empty, and was not applied to any charitable purpose whatever. When ever any attempt on behalf of the Poles is made, the old adage, " charity begins at home," is always flung in our faces ; but it has been the boast of England for ages that she affords a home to all those who have no other. These exiles come to us in our home. Let us not refuse to grant them at least a crumb of its comforts, and rather remember the words which enjoin us " never to turn our face from any poor man."—(Cheers.) I have observed in one' of the papers, with much pain and no little surprise, a letter bearing the signature— if lam not deceived—of a gentleman occupying a high position in the corporation which has granted. us the Guildhall for our undertaking. I am very sorry that Alderman Sidney should have written it, for I have always looked upon him with respect, and con sidered him a kind-hearted and humane man. Ido not think his letter will raise him in anybody's esti mation, and I have too good an opinion of him to sup pose that after reflecting it will in any degree raise him in his own.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He in quires what claims the Piles have to British benevo lence; who are the recipients, and what is their con dition ? These questions I have answered in my pre ceding observations. I would have answered them to Alderman Sidney in detail, had he done me the fa vour to put any inquiries to me on the subject. Considering that on the last occasion of 11. Polish ball, he, at my request, permitted his name to appear as one of the patrons, I little expected that, with out previously sifting the subject, as he evidently has not done, he would come forward as an an tagonist; and I must say that such an attack, coming from a supposed friend, without any notice, is a mode of proceeding which I should not have felt it con sistent with my notions of courtesy to adopt.— (Lsughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") I cannot help thinking that Alderman Sidney could, by applying to me, have obtained information, had that been his ob ject, better than by addressing a newspaper. Ques tions put as he has put them are calculated to preju dice an undertaking like this very much, for those who read them seldom are at the pains of attending to the answer, even it be possible to get one inserted in the same papers. Alderman Sidney, however, be sides asking questions, has made some statements which are wholly inaccurate. He says that, " the Parliamentary grant to the Poles was never ques tioned till this year, when, on a murmur arising, Lord Palmerston said that after this grant it would cease, or be greatly reduced." This statement is wholly erroneous. The Polish grant was dis cussed at considerable length in 1848, and an inquiry ordered, and what Lord Palmerston stared this year was not that the grant should be reduced, but that in consequence of that inquiry it had been reduced ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer added, that it was no longer a question whether the Poles should be supported, but whether they should be supported out of national or out of local funds, for that none had been left on the list of recipients except such as had been, after the strictest inquiry, found to he absolutely unable to do anything for themselves.—(Hear, hear.) The grant, originally 10,0001. a year, was afterwards raised to 15,0001., to meet the calls arising from an increase in the number of the Poles. It afterwards diminished rapidly from natural causes, and in 1848 was between 7,000/. and 8,0001., but this year (1850) it has been reduced to less than 4,0001, a good many having been removed from the list of recipients as able to shift for them selves (but many of them, I lament to say, are now in a pitiable state of want), and the allowance to those in the class of officers having been reduced from 10s. to 7s. a week. What must be the condition of a man with the habits and education of a gentleman, end having, perhaps, the acquirements of Louis Philippe, but being prevented by ill-health by turn ing them to account—what must be his condition with nothing but 7s. n week for all expenses whatsoever to depend upon ? I leave you to imagine ; and also what a flourishing condition the finances of this country must be in now that, by curtailing the pittance of a few homeless exiles, the Treasury has effected a sav ing of a few hundred pounds !—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) But I must apologize for detaining you so long. There are still generous and honest hearts enough in the City, and other parts of the metropolis and country, who will not suffer the feelings of humanity to be repressed or stifled by any sneers printed or spoken, and who, after doing their duty by the poor of their own land, can still spare enough to enable them to enjoy a ball at Guildhall, and cheer fully to contribute towards the relief of the exiles of Poland. Of this sort I confidently expect to see goodly and a brilliant assemblage on the evening ofa Thursday, the 14th of November.—(Loud c heers.) , Mr. Snelling, Mr. Johnstone, and other members of the Court, havi ng ex pressed their gratifi c ation at the statements made by Lord Dudley Stuart, pro ceeded to the transaction of other busi ness connecte d adjourned. with this grand project, after which t he Court , se B s l l:en l) ce al o l f m th a e l r i eb b u e il g din to g intimate to [ADVERTISEMENT. of their premises, it has become . imperative , on them to dispose of the whole of the . n . valuable Stock, which they have determined to cffer for immediate Sale, at a very con siderable reduction of price.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—The ship Rosalinda, Captain Timpson, which sailed from Quebec about the 25th day of August for Liverpool, on the n i g h t o f t h e 9t h o f Sep tember broached to, tilled, and capsized. The captain and mate were drowned in the cabin ; ten seamen and two ap prentices were washed overboard and drowned; and eight surviving seamen were picked up by a French vessel and landed at St. Pierre, whence they were brought to Sydney, C. 8., on the 30th ult. Two of the seamen were sick, and one severely injured. CENSUS RETURNS FOR 1851. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SIIIV. SIR,- At this time, when the Census Commissioners are forming their staff of inqui,itors to give their re turn of the state of the population of the country, which is made to Far'lament every ten years—this Icing the third census return--a few observations on the subject may not be out of place here, nor will the perusal of a short historical account, from various records of the parishes of England, I hope, he unin teresting, particularly as the Commissioners return for 1851 is to be made in parishes, and as the Inter ments Act, which is now about coming into operation, will have the effect of changing that power of the clergy which related to burials, and may have the effect hereafter of altering the parish districts, altera tions in which are, and have been, from time to time taking place, both in the sub-divisions of parishes and by the increase of bishoprics. By the term parishes of England is meant those circuits of ground inhabited by the souls under the care of one parson or vicar, and are computed to be near ten thousand in number. How ancient the division of parishes is may be difficult to ascertain, for it seems to be agreed on all hands, that in the early ages of Christianity in this island parishes were unknown, or at least signified the same as a diocese now•a-days. There was then no appro priation of ecclesiastical dues to any particular church, but every man was at liberty to contribute his tithes to whatever priest or church he pleased, provided only that he did it to some ; or if he made no special appointment or appropriation thereof, they were paid into the hands of the bishop, whose duty it was to distribute them amongst the clergy of his diocese or district, and for other pious purposes, ac cording to his own discretion. Camden says, England was divided into parishes by Archbishop Honorius about the year 630. Sir Henry Hobart lays it down that parishes were first erected by the Council of Lateran, which was held A.D. 1179—each widely differing from the other, and both of them, perhaps, from the truth, which will probably be found in the medium between the two extremes. For Selden has shown that the clergy lived in common, without any division of parishes, long after the time mentioned by Camden. And it appears from the Saxon laws that parishes were in existence prior to the date of the Council of Lateran, to which they are ascribed by Hobart. We find the distinction of parishes, nay, even of churches, so early as in the laws of King Edgar, about the year 970. Before that time the consecration of tithes was in general arbitrary ; that is, every man paid his own tithes to whatever church or parish he pleased. But this practice being liable to be at tended with either fraud or caprice, in the persons paying; and with either jealousies or mean compli ances in such as were competitors for receiving them, it was ordered by the law of King Edgar that " all tithes should be given to Mother Church to which the parish belongs." However, if any thane or great lord had a church within his own demesnes, distinct from the mother church, then, provided such church had a cemetery or consecrated place of burial belonging to it, he might allot one-third of his tithes for the maintenance of the officiating minister ; but if it had no cemetery the thane must himself have maintained his chaplain by some other means ; for in such case all his tithes were ordained to be paid to mother church. This proves that the kingdom was then universally divided into parishes, which division happened pro bably not all at once, but by degrees. For it seems pretty clear and certain that the boundaries of pa rishes were originally ascertained by those of a manor or manors ; since it very seldom happens that a manor extends itself over more parishes than one, though there are often many manors in one parish. The lords, as Christianity spread itself, began to build churches upon their own demesnes or wastes, to accommodate their tenants in one or two adjoining manors ; and, in order to have divine service regu larly performed therein obliged all their tenants to appropriate their tithes to the maintenance of one officiating clergyman or priest, instead of leaving them at liberty to distribute them among the clergy of the diocese in general ; and this tract of land, the tithes of which were so appropriated, formed a distinct parish, which will well account for the fre quent intermixture of parishes one with another. For if a lord had a parcel of land detached from the rest of his estate, but not sufficient to form a parish of itself, it was natural for him to endow his newly-erected church with the tithes of those disjointed 1 Inds, espe cially if no church was then built in any lordship ad joining to those outlying parce:s of land. Thus parishes were gradually formed, and parish churches endowed with the tithes that arose from the lands and produce within the circuit assigned ; but some lands, either because they were in the hands of irre ligious and careless owners, or were situated in forests or desert places, or for other now unsearch able reasons, were never united to any parish, and therefore continue to this day extra-parochial ; and their tithes are now by immemorial custom payable to the Crown instead of the bishop, " in trust and confidence that they will be distributed for the ge neral good of the Church." Yet extra-parochial wastes and marsh lands, when improved and drained, are to be, by the Act 17 George 11., cap. 37, " as sessed to all parochial rates in the parish next adjoining." More recently, the number of bishops has been increased, and the income from the sees altered, and at various periods since the parishes have been sub-divided, and now the Interments Act, 13 and 14 Vic., 1850, is in course of preparation for being carried into operation; by this Act a great alteration in the clerical authority will be effected, which will take from the parishes, and all places of burial, a common law right which has existed from time immemorial, namely, that of the right of every Englishman to be interred in the grave yard of the parish to which he, or she, may belong, or where he, or she, may die, but substitutes a right of sepulture in burial-grounds provided under the Act, and incorporates in the clauses the provisions of the Cemeteries Act, Vic. 10 and 11, 1847, which relates to grants of exclusive rights of burial, monumental inscriptions, and the protection of cemeteries, and takes from the minister those rights of sepulture so long held by the Church, and which were a chief source of emolument, changed by them from the ori ginal intent, namely, a desire on the part of the rela tives to have the body of the deceased buried within the walls of some sacred edifice, or in some favourite graveyard, and with the hope that the bones might be allowed to rest in peace, without the fear of being disturbed ; but when the grave yards were desecrated and the remains were disturbed, either with the tacit sanction or by direction of the ministers or church wardens, who were aware of the over-crowded state of the :graveyard, from which the bodies were re moved, and disposed of, to make room for other tenants of the desecrated grave, and increase the income—to put a stop to the unhealthy practice of intramural interment, the proofs of which delinquencies being forced upon the Government, no alternative remained to them but to change the system of parish burial to that of district or public cemeteries. _ _ _ To prevent this system of desecrating the dead being continued, the Interments Act takes from the several parishes and private graveyards all right or power of burial, and empowers the Commissioners to regulate future interments, closing up all graveyards, and "either closing, enlarging, or using for the pur poses'of interment the present cemeteries, or opening others within or without the district ;" and though the powers of the Act are now limited to the few parishes which are within the limits of the metropoli tan diocese, and the cemeteries for the establishment o f which private Acts had been obtained by com panies, yet it will be found necessary to alter the pro visions to a more general import, and divest it of the absurdities with which it is hampered, and instead of leaving it optional with any set of men to continue the degrading system (now practised) of intramural burial, it should make it imperative that interment shall be wholly and without any exception discon tinued. And that the Act shall prohibit intramural burial all through the country as well as in the me tropolis, this may easily be effected, having the pre sent union guardians as the staff to organize the arrangements required for the speedy enforcement of a General Interments Act, the provisions of which shall extend throughout the length and breadth of the land. The Census Commissioners, by giving a more com prehensive report, at the same time a more extended one than that usually made, may make the document both useful and instructive; the investigation being . . made in parishes, the Ordnance survey maps (where finished) should be used to ascertain the acreable con tent in preference to that which was furnished by the survey made under the provisions of the Tithe Com mutation Act ; therefore in this way the proportions of the population to the acreable content will be more accurately given than heretofore. In addition to these facts, the accurate returns of professions, trades, and laborious occupations, and distinguishing the healthy from the sick, the working from the non-working population, and to give the educated from the un educated portion of the community, together with the returns of mortality and disease for each week during the last ten years ; all of which returns can be easily procured by the Commissioners with the same staff, and make their blue book useful, instead of being, as it usually is, an unintelligible mass of figures, scarcely ever brought into use after it has been presented by them to Parliament. Trusting that this letter may not be deemed unin teresting to you, and hoping that the suggestions contained may lead to the adoption of some it not all of them on the part of the Census Commission e:-s, I remain, Sir, yours, &c., W. 11. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING—TUESDAY. Until within the last four or five years the racing ma son invariably terminated with the Houghton, or, as it was not inappropriately termed, the " Hay and Straw Meeting;" under the present go-ahead system, however, it has gradually increased in duration, commencing in February and extending almost to December. Mr. Dorling has ben most conspicuous in bringing about this new order of things, fir in the spring we find him in the field with his great Metropolitan, the summer gathering succeeds, and yesterday he gratifies his metro politan patrons with the strongest and the richest bill cf fare ho has yet issued to tempt the racing public —seven races, without heats, large fieldi, and nearly 500/. added money, for one day, at the fag-end of a season, is a proof of sell and liberality eminently deserving of success. It is but fair to add, that Mr. Dorling has received substan tial aid from the Brighton Railway Company; and that Mr. Carew and other gentlemen resident in the vicinity have contributed munificently for the promotion of sport. It will be collected from what we have said, and from our previous returns of the nominations and arrivals, that the meeting, as far as it relied on flat racing, pr o . mised to be first-rate, requiring only favourable wea ther to make it attractive to the public and profitable to the lessee. As it turned out , the elements were propi tious; several well filled trains left the London -bridge station, the grand stand enclosure was crowded, and the general show of company, considering the lateness of the season, was very fair, still, it must be admitted, not by any means so large as the superiority of the list had led us to anticipate. The arrangements on the course were in most respects good, and well-deserved commendation was bestowed on the manner in which the refreshment rooms were provided by Mr. Davis, the cook to tho Jockey Club. We cannot say, however, that everything was quite as it should be; and we must especially advert to the length of time occupied in weighing the jockies, and the consequent delay in starting. Owing to this, the Bentinck Fiate was not run until upwards of an hour afer the time fixed, and it was so nearly dark before the Selling Stakes was got over, that it was difficult to make out the colours. This may be avoided on a future occasion by commencing business half an hour earlier, confining the races to half-a-dozen, and allowing three quarters of an hour between the principal eyeats. With so many large fields, even a practised clerk of the scales would have found it difficult to get through his duties with half-hour intervals. Of the sport too much cannot be said in praise; it was as good as it was abundant, and highly creditable to Mr. Dorling and his supporters. The following is a return: — The Normanton Stakes of 10 soya, each, 5 ft if declared; with 25 added; the second to save his stake. Great Metropolitan Stakes Course, two miles and a quarter. (5 Subs.)

Docility took the lead at starting, followed tu rotation ,by Chief Jus tice, Glen Saddel, Cossack, and Chantre), Sauter-la- Coupe lying off, and Cora, who got off badly, bringing up the rear. No change took place in the front rank until they reached the three-quarter of a mile post, where Cossack gave way, and Chantrey took the second place, Docility still leading. They went on in this order to the distance, where Chief Justice took up the running, closely attended hr " -, e Dark Susan colt, Chan trey, Brington, Valenti' e, and iauter-la-Coupe, the race teing left entirely to this Jot. Opposite the stand Chan trey and Brington gave and Sauter-la-Coupe, chal lenging Chief Justice, headed him half a dozen strides from home, and won by a short length. The Dark Susan colt was beaten a neck for the second 'place, and was closely run in by Valentine; Brington fifth. Run in 2 min. 49 secs. Maria Mont was weighed for and went into the pad dock, but turned re•tive, ran against a post and fell; the boy received a cut on the forehead, and was led back to the stand, but after a short delay le-mounted, too-late, however, to get to the post in time to start.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. s.—His Fxcellency Cabuli Effendi, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires, accompanied by Captain Ford, of the Ottoman steam navy, and Mr. Alexander Beattie, the Ottoman Vice-Consul at this port, went on board the Turkish ships yesterday and inspected them, dining on board the frigate. H;s Excellency was saluted with 13 guns. The ships await permission from the Admiralty, through the Foreign-office, to enter the harbour to refit. A court of inquiry has been pending for some time on board the harbour depot ship, touching some in decent practices of a warrant officer towards some boys of the navy. The inquiry terminated to-day, but the result is private. The Bloodhound steam-vessel is ordered to take the place and do the duties of the steam-tug Echo, whilst that vessel is repairing and receiving new boilers. The Gunpowder Plot anniversary has been cele brated in this port to-day with unusual reinforce ments of Guys, and an attendant amount of enthusiasm in the juvenile populace. APPOINTMENTS.

DEPTFORD, Nov. s.—This fine frigate, commenced on the 26th of February, 1846, was launched to-day from the slip on which she was built at Deptford dock yard. A large concourse of spectators assembled on the occasion, and every accommodation was afforded for a good view of the launch. His Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale, with the young Count de Paris, and two other grandsons of the late King Louis Philippe, arrived shortly before 2 o'clock raw, and about the same time Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8., Governor of Greenwich Hospital, Vice Ad miral Sir George Francis Seymour, C. 8., and G.C.H., Captain Sir Samuel Brown, Alderman Sidney, Alder man Musgrove, Mr. Brunet, of the firm of Messrs. Seward and Co., and a number of officers of both services, and private gentlemen with their families. At a quarter past two o'clock Mr. Willcox, master shipwright, under whose superintendence the launch took place, ordered the workmen to commence knock ing out the dogshores, and at the same time presented an open bottle of wine, and Captain Sir John Hill having poured out a glassful handed it to Lady Mary Fox, who drank success to the Leopard. The bottle was immediately after decorated with rosettes, and Lady Mary Fox broke it, with the remaining portion of the wine in it, on the bows of the vessel. The re maining dogshores were quickly removed, and at half past two o'clock the fine frigate glided slowly and majestically into the river, amidst the cheers of the assembled spectators, the band playing " Britannia rules the waves." The Count de Paris and his youthful cousins also drank success to the Leopard, and with the Duke d'Aumale proceeded to the wharf to witness the ap pearance of the war steamer when afloat. Her light draught of water is 7 feet 101 inches fore, and 9 feet 1 inch aft. The following are the dimensions of the Leopard : ft. in. Length from front of figure head to aft side of tafrail ... 242 61 ; Length between perpendiculars ... ... 218 0 Length fir tonnage 019 3 Length of the, keel for tonnage ... 193 5- Breadth. extreme 37 5i Breadth for tonnage ... 36 6 11 3 Breadth moulded ... 36 Depth in hold ... •.. 25 Burden in tons, old measurement, 1,435 65-94. Burden in tons, new measurement, including engine room, 1,646.45. Burden in tons of the engine-room, 570 90. Burden of register tons, 1,075.51. The , Leopard is built from the design of Mr. Fincham, master shipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard. She is considered something better than the Odin, and most particularly is she an improvement on the Sidon. The Leopard is 218 feet in length between the per pendiculars, or 7 feet longer than the Sidon. Length of keel for tonnage, 193 feet 5f inches (Sidon, 185 feet 3 inches); breadth, extreme, 37 feet 5f inches (Sidon, 37 feet) ; depth in hold, 25 feet 1i inch (Sidon, 27 feet) ;-tonnage old admeasurement, 1,405 (Sidon, 1,315). She loomed very large in the water, and settled down at very excellent trim, and appeared as sightly as any paddle-wheal steamer cau be ex pected to look. For want of space we are compelled to curtail our remarks on this launch, but we may add that the Im perieuse, 50 gun screw steamer, will be immediately commenced on the slip vacated by the Leopard, and that no less than 13,000 tons of shipping have been launched at Deptford since the royal yard was re opened about six years since. amsflei A ayraam f tl t , e ost r uhirr t : he ceremony and inspection of the vessel C D ahn u ad k r l e : d sl ' a A r guem Adam, aplaer, Vice party :e accompanied.
