On Wednesday a meeting of the rate-payers of the parish of Liverpool, was held at the Sessions-house, to take into consi deration the propriety of adopting the Hobhouse Vestry Act, L. M-IVER, Esq., in the Chair. The requisition for calling the meeting having been read by the Vestry Cierk,. Mr. LANGTON said that he had served the offices of overseer, sidesman, and churchwarden of the parish of Liverpool, and he regretted to see an attempt made to change the system of ad ministering the affairs of the parish, as they were now con ducted under Sturges Bourne's Vestry Act. He had under taken the charge of proposing a • resolution declaratiory of the opinion of the meeting, that the introduction of Hobhouse's Vestry Act would lead to great confusion. From an experience of the past, he could safely and conscientiously say that he knew of no reasons why they should depart from the system under which their affairs were at present managed, and concluded by moving " That since the introduction of Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act into tt,is parish; the parochial affairs have been conducted with economy, and a due attention to the wants of the poor, the ac counts of receipt and expenditure have been annually pub lished, the proceedings of the select vestry have at all times been open to the inspection and examination of the parish ioners. " That the annually recurring election of a select vestry is the'best protection to the parishioners against lavish expendi ture on the one hand, and negligence or favouritism in the col lection of the rates on the other. • Under these circumstanees, it is the decided opinion of this meeting, that the interest of the parishioners at large will be best consulted by a continuance of the present 'system. " Which was seconded by. Mr. FAIRCLOUGIL Mr. SANTLEY requested that the Vestry Clerk would read Sir J. C. llobhouse's Vestry Act—that the meeting might know what its provisions were before they decided upon adopting it. Mr: LOwNOEs, the Vestry Clerk, read the .heads of the Act, and explained to the meeting, at length, several of the clauses ; after which, he read the resolution that had been proposed and seconded, when--• Dr..CowNs said, that he should oppose the adoption of that resolution to which he had an amendment to propose. The resolution stated that the affairs of the parish were well managed by the Vestry embodied under Sturges Bourne's Act, he (Dr. Collins) denied every tittle of its assertions. The question now before them was not of a political or party character; every man felt thafthe parochial expenditure was unnecessarily great, and it was well khoWn that one-fourth part of the whole sum collected was expended in paying clerks and other officers. The gross sum . collected, in the shape of parochial rates, amounted to £36,000 a-year, and the sums paid to these officers was about £12,1,00, and he would ask whether this was, or was not, a lavish expenditure of their money , ? The accounts pub lished shewed that from 10 to £12,000 a- . year was spent in management.. He did not want to shelter himself under gene ralities, bdt was prepared to go into particulars to shew how much they wanted reform. He contended that the office of Vestry Clerk was considerably overpaid;_ this officer was allowed £3OO a-year, and his bill amounted to £2,000. (Mr. Lowndes denied that his bill was any thing like that sum.) Last vear a motion had been made to publish the particulars of the Vestry Clerk's bill, and strange to say he saw, on that occa sion, both Whigs and Liberals voting against that propo sition. In the workhouse there were abuses the recital of which would make their blood freeze, and yet gentlemen were ready to come forward and deny the existence of them; instead of re moving the person who had originated them, they had shielded him by the introduction of Sturges Bourne's Act. Under that act some were permitted to give six votes in the election of Ves trymen, who were thus removed from the controul of the pub lic. Mr. Hobhouse's Act levelled this distinction, which reduced all the rate-payers alike to one vote only : When a member of Parliament was to be elected, then principles were every thing, and parties were arrayed against each other to try their strength in a contest; but when justice was to be administered, then whigs, tories, and others of equally opposite opinions were found united to insure its defeat; therefore, they ought not to be influenced or guided by the names that might appear before them, but by the superior merits of the system which the Hob house Act would introduce. Under this Act they would not have a governor of the Workhouse with a salary of a £l,OOO a a-year, nor a Vestry-clerk with his £1,500 or £2,000 a-year. The old bill gave to certain individuals six votes, and hence the corporation and exchange gentlemen carried things their olxn way. From the exchange they frequently hurried away and voted for any thing to " put down those fellows," as they called their fellow-townsmen without any other knowledge of the sub ject on which they voted, than that it was proposed by one of the humbler classes. The introduction of the Hobhouse Act would give them another check on abuses in the publication of their accounts ; from this the public would derive great advantage; it would come home to the poor who were now sacrificed. In the late assessment the rate had been increased, and this system had not only increased the parish, but the King's taxes in the same proportion. He asked them whether they would support the old system for the mere sake of party, in preference to one so well calculated to control the lavish expen diture of the parish, and concluded by moving as an amend ment " That Sir J. C. Hobhouse's Act receives the approbation of his meeting, and they pledge themselves to support it." Mr. PETER ELL is seconded the amendment. Mr. THOMAS SMITH had waited to hear the argument of the supporters of the old system;—how had this boasted system of economy operated ? 1 heir streets were filled with thieves and beggars and they had gone on "grinding the faces of the poor." One gentleman was paid for his services, five pounds a week or three shillings an hour, for doing what would be to' many gen tlemen merely an amusement. He did not mean to charge the vestry individually with acts of corruption, but in their collec tive capacity he saw much to complain of. They had an ex penditure of from 40 to £50,000 a year to control. Some two or three attended who obtained by so doing the patronage which the distribution of this sum put into their hands, in the pur chase of the . supplies wanted. All this the Hobhouse act had a tendency to open. He himself had five votes, so that he could have no personal interest to serve by reducing them to one, and he thought it would be unnecessary for him to trouble them with many words, to induce them to adopt it in preference to the other. He resisted some years since the introduction of Sturges Bourne's act, and ceased to pay any attention to parish affairs, and what had been the consequence ? (A laugh.) Since the adoption of this bill, one salary began at £l5O, and had gradually crept up to £250.a year. The question was sim ply whether they would choose their own officers by ballot—have all the parish 'accounts open to inspection, or leave them in the hands of a party of aristocrats. Mr. GODFREY BARNSLEY said that he bad quitted the select vestry because it interfered with' his avocations in business, but he denied that any system of patronage or favouritism existed in the distribution of the parish funds. It was well known that a fin-nice committee had been formed who had inquired into this subject, and the assertions of Mr. Smith were altogether unfounded in fact. He (Mr. B.) appioved of the rate which enabled the parish to get out of debt. The affairs of the parish were well managed, and, as far as he knew, all the articles re quired were purchased at the best markets and on the lo)vest terms. The question for their consideration was, whether Stur ges Bourne or Hobhouse's act was the best, and he conceived that the introduction of the latter would introduce aaadditional scene of confusion, and therefore he would oppose its adoption. Mr. W. W:CURIIIE had resided in Liverpool all his life, and if ever one circumstance more than another gave general satis faction to the town it was the introduction of Sturges Bourne's act;—at that time the cry for it was universal, and all were sa tisfied with the management subsequent to its adoption. Some observations had been addressed to the feelings rather than to the judgment of the meeting. Dr. Collins had said that when it was wished to put down a class of their fellow-townsmen, that the Exchange gentlemen always followed a leader, and united to effect that object without reference to its merits, or without knowing what they were about to support or condemn,—this he denied. No reasons had been adduced which should induce the parishioners to render the town one scene of confusion. The cauldron of agitation was already full, and needed not the ad dition of further ingredients. Dr. COLLINS explained. Mr. ROBERT ELLIS said, that Hobhouse's act was made by one who understood the nooks and corners and the dirty parts of parish abuses. Under the old system persons were found voting, but ignorant of what they voted for. (Here Mr. LOWNDES observed that ignorance was not always on one side.) After making some observations in support of the amendment, and souse remarks on the Churchwarden, he said, that that gentleman did his duty, but he would only do it in his own way. Mr. RA wLINsoN made some observations to show that a system of favouritism prevailed in the distribution of the busi ness consequent upon the reparation of the Churches. Mr. FOSTER denied this, and said that they were done by contract. In continuation, Mr. R. said that the gentlemen who advocate things as they are, had studiously kept out of sight the subject of " the six votes," and concluded by saying that he belonged to the middle class of tradesmen, and therefore, might be supposed to know something of their feelings. from the cer tainty of being outvoted by the six vote gentlemen, they seldom attended at all, under the present system it was Bricks versus Brains. • Mr. HARDMAN EARLE said that the question had been rowed by the last speaker to the six votes, and but for t2bi would never have heard of the Hobhouse Vestry A.ct. . 1 „ whose property the greatest amount was levied, ough t 7i the control of itt expenditure. The principle was admitulll l creation of the ten pound voters under the Reform 13 , gave certainly to the small as well as the large proPr i ;/ equal vote; but then, in the election of the members bsi liament' they were equally interested, as the Parliament_ liberties as well as the property of the subject under troul. Here the case was widely different, for the p,ari s th , had only the funds of the parish to vote away. d that this was a mere political skirmish, and how,tuez was of no importance. He bad no doubt that the paid the largest proportion of the sums levied, a nd tIV was purely a question raised by the cottage voters. t i v ; Mr. TURNER made some observations condemning aft sure in which checks were given at the Workhouse, a ft tended that frauds to a considerable extent might arise„ Mr. BOLD, as a select vestryman for six years, was l c of the practice :,ll uded to; previously to the establisln ne o select vestry the poor rates were is. 4d., the year aftg, were lowered to ss. 6d., and had subsequently been re 2s. in the pound. A show of bands was then called for, when the Ol e was carried; and Mr. FOSTER moved the thanks of the!, to the mayor and common council for the use of the House, add also avote of thanks to the chairman.

THE NEW VESTRY ACT.—As many of our rear doubt, wholly unacquainted with the act, (Sir J. C. Vestry Act,) it may be acceptable to them to be ini according to its provisions, any fifty rate-payers in , the churchwardens to take the votes for or against its and the present question appears to have original signatures of 55 persons, of whom 48 are in Li Under this act the property of the rate-payers ' limited extent has hitherto been represented, th , votes in a certain proportion to the value of such pt be deprived of that legal protection, the act in quest only one vote to each rate-payer. This act, if adopted, require the vestry to consist of 120 members, wb' remain in office three years, (one-third going out sequent year,) however, inattentive or incompetent be, and of whom the vacancies occurring by death can only be filled up at the annual election, will present more efficacious system, which, as it re' twenty vestrymen, the whole or any of whom may at the annual vestry, and any vacancies be filled up months, gives the rate-payers the most prompt c( their parochial representatives. However desirable sure of this kind may have been for the improvc, metropolitan or other parishes in which the vestrymen in office for life, and were elected by the membe vestry without any reference to the rate-payers, it this parish, and we are aware that it was originally be applied only to parishes where the inhabitants ao ble in open vestry.
