Now if the opposition was feeble, and consisted of ratepayers, no doubt they would carry their threw into execution. There could be no doubt that they had the disposition.—(Hear.) But if the resistance ex tended to thousands, or even hundreds, could it be sup posed for a moment that they would carry their threat into execution?—( Hear.) If they did—if they dared to attempt it, the attempt would crea'e a sensation which would for ever seal the doom of Church-rates it this parish.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Bright) for one bad resolved never to pay it, and he trusted there was not a man present who would.—(Loud cheers, and cries of " Never, never !") The resolution mentioned the establishment of an association at Rochdale called the " Religious Freedom Society." Now that Society was organised for defending the privileges of the people, and it would take up the case of every man who should be summoned for the rate, and would be ready to go into a Court of Law if necessary to contest its validity. It was stated that during the recent struggle not less than 8,000/. had been spent. If so, the Tories had paid dearly for their se-called victory ; for he would pledge himself that the outside of the expenditure on the other side did not exceed 2001., and of this sum a large proportion was the printer's bill. The Tories, then, already having incurred such an enormous expen diture for their victory, must begin to think that they lied bought a bad bargain.—( Laughter.) But if they disliked it now, they would like it none the better by the time they had tried the experiment of collecting it—(Cheers and laughter)—for, however fond they might be of being masters, they were unaccountably fond of their money.—(Renewed laughter.) But when they came to reflect what they had already spent, and what they had still to throw after it, in Courts of Law, perhaps they might think better of it. At all events it would be much cheaper for them to pay the rate out of their own pockets.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Of the Vicar, he would only say that to him the victory was an ex ceedingly dear one, and those who saw him on Sunday last pass through the streets, amidst the groans and hisses of the people, would not have much room to envy him of his feelings.—(Hear, hear.) It was indeed a piteous sight to see a minister pass through the streets guarded by policemen before and behind, afraid of men who, had it been his desire to have promoted peace and good-will amongst them, would have been ready to sa crifice their very lives in his defence.—(Cheers.) Of the mon whn were employed on the Leeds Railway (said Mr. Bright), nearly 300, the occupiers of the temporary mud huts erected at the Summit Tunnel, were marched down to support the rate ; and notwith standing this, so jealous were the Tories of losing one vote over which they conceived they had a right of con trol, that one of them, because about twenty persons on the line had chosen to exercise their own discretion, bad actually had the audacity to make a complaint to the Company, and bring the matter before the Direc— tors. And who did they think the individual was? —(Cries of " Name him.") Why it was no other than one John Roby ?—(Loud roars of laughter.) Such were the men by whom they were opposed then, and against these men, if they only stood firm, there could not be a doubt of the result.—(Applause.) The subject of Church domination was now creating a tre mendous sensation all over the country. It was a subject upon which the late scenes of injustice, at which it had been at the bottom, were beginning to make men think for themselves. It was a question upon which the progress of reform very materially depended ; for there was not an abuse in tho country which it was pro posed to abolish in which it was not interested. Let a Bill be proposed in Parliament which had for its object the reform of glaring political evil, or the removal of a hurthen upon the people, and members of the Le,gis• No. 14,959.

Might it not be urged by the partisans of the slave trade, and of the worst practices which had ever disgraced this country ? But it was said that the law was here resorted to for the pur pose of asserting a principle. Yes, undoubtedly ; and it was the assertion of a principle which at the time of the reformation sent our forefathers to prison, to the pillory, and to the stake !—(Loud cheers.) Yes, it was the assertion of a principle which in our own days, at the instance of a Molesworth, would send a Thorogood to prison and keep him there for life, un less the last farthing was paid which he owed to the Church.—(Renewed cheers.) If this struggle had pro duced no other good effect, it had served to show that the old and distinguishing feeling of Toryism remained unchanged.—(Cheers.) It showed that no lapse of time could change them.—(Hear, hear.) It showed that time, if it had lessened their power to do evil, had not lessened the desire. The Tories might think that by this contest they had achieved an important victory, but let them remember that it was at the expense of an injury, and a foul blot on the Establishment, which all the purity of her surplices, however carefully washed, could neither palliate nor hide.—(Laughter, and great cheering.) And however long men might pursue a course of study and training, in order that they might be able to connect every link of the long chain of apos tolic succession, they could not escape the merited con tempt and disgrace to which practices like these must subject them in every right-thinking mind.—(Applause.) The Rev. JOHN KERSHAW, in seconding the resolu tion, said he appeared here as a matter of conscience, for he considered the grievance of Church-rates as one of the greatest in our land ; and depending, as it did, for its support upon the connection between Church and State, he was bound to say, that as a community we should never be healthy, never happy, never prosperous and peaceful, till the knife of amputation, which most some day or other separate the Establishment from the State, had done its work.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) He had often said, and he said it again, that no day could roll over his head that would give him greater .atisfaction as a Briton than that which should witness such a happy and desirable consum mation.—(Tremendous cheering.) And he really did think that the Church party were moving in such a way as would hasten that day.—(Very great cheering.) The very measures which they were taking to keep up that connection were hastening its termination ; and, like a burning light, were opening the eyes of the community in every direction to the glaring evils of which it was the too fruitful source. But it ought to be asked. wherein does the evil consist ? He would explain. Under the present system, it was the in terest of the Government to support the Church. Why so? Because the greater part of the Members of both Houses of Legislature held their estates by here ditary succession—that was to say, the eldest son took the family estate, and the younger sons were left to be provided for in another way. In war time, most of these sons were generally made officers in the army, and thus they were supported by the State; but in time of peace this channel was not sufficiently capacious to receive them, and they were put into holy orders. What for ? Why, as the Scriptures say, " That you may eat a morsel of bread."—(Laughter.) But it had lately been discovered that the Church was now be coming greatly overstocked, and in consequence there had been a Bill introduced into Parliament for another grant to build churches. What were the churches wanted for? To preach in? or to read a little morality in ?—(Laughter.) It was therefore the interest of the Government to support the Church, and the interest of the Church to support Government, and thus it was that the connection between Church and State was the source of many and growing evils which must ulti mately lead to a severance.—(A Voice : " The sooner the better.") Mr. Kershaw then proceeded to mention some instances of intimidation which had come under his observation during the late contest, and among others one where seventy colliers were marched up to the poll in a body. The resolution was carried by acclamation. Mr. BARTON moved the following resolution : " That the means used to obtain a colourable majority are such as honest men would not employ, and that the compelling of workmen to vote against their opinions is a flagrant violation of their rights, by which the very privileges granted for their defence are converted into fetters for their enslaving, and tending greatly to destroy the spirit of independence, and the good feeling which ought to exist among the various classes of society."— Gentlemen, said Mr, Barton, the Vicar has told you that all of you who will not consent to pay Church-rates have violated the law of the land. Now, I have re peatedly urged him to tell us where that law is to be found.—(Laughter.) But, gentlemen, he cannot find such a law, and I here assert that you have violated no law, either human or Divine, by the course you have taken. I dare him to the proof ; for I say you have violated no law—no common law—no statute law— no law.w But h ofTeaquEittsyhte —nor ecclesiastical h esieaesstusicasayels, o l law.—(Great w a a . —n variety(a G t o r n e a al t cheering.) ei ng of „argu m ent s t o i n d uce you to o b e y w h at h e ca ll s the one ; it is set apart: for ever for the use of th e na tion, ; and then be tells y ou that t h ere are ten thousand parish churches, and then h e as k s , if t h ere are so many churches in the country can any man put his band upon his heart and say that such an Establish ment does no good ? Now from such data he draws a this inference—that the Church Establishment ought to be supported by a compulsory tax. But he forgets that this argument applies another way, and sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.—(Laughter.) Let me call your attention to this town,. In Rochdale there are but three churches, while there are twelve dissenting places of worship. These dissenting places of worship have been built by the voluntary subscriptions of individuals who worship in them, and in these there is worship performed three times every Sunday, besides a number of services on other days in the week. Now, all of you know that there are a great many more attend these twelve dissenting places of worship than the three churches ; and I will ask where is the man who will say that a great amount of religious and moral good does not flow from these places of worship ?—(Hear, hear.) Now, if this is the case, may we not put in our ergo here? —( Loud cries of " Hear, hear,"and cheering.) Ergo then, according to the logic of the Vicar, it is just and proper they should be supported by a voluntary tax.—(Great cheering.) Therefore, this argument cuts both ways. And then it is a fact which cannot be denied, that many of these parish churches do little or no good.

The object for which this Company has been formed— namely, to enable every person to manufacture their own Ale and Porter of genuine Malt and Hops (an article of such para mount importance to the community at large), without the usual requisite of brewing or the use of brewing utensils, and to any strength or extent their station in life may require, at one-half the expense, and without trouble or loss of time, must strike every person as being of the greatest national importance, and that the most profitabl results must arise from such an undertaking. To carry this desirable object into operatiktuthe projectors of this Association, fully convinced of the efficacy of Aril's's Patent Concentrated Extract of Malt and Hops, which requires but the simple and easy process of undergoing a fermentation, have made arrangements to secure its important advantages to the Company, and that benefit, so important to the public at large, which must result from its adoption. The simplicity of the process, the genuine and excellen quality of the Beer made from the Extract, and the reasonable price at which it can be obtained, render it almost a matter of certainty that " The National Brewing Association," must ulti mately supersede all other brewing establishments: unless avail ing themselves of the advantages offered by this patent.

Pastor of the parish, with his Warden, along with Mr. Clement Royds and a few others, emerged from the scene of their holy labours, they were escorted by a party of the county constabulary to the vicarage —the streets being filled with his affectionate flock, whose execrations assailed his ears ; in fact., the groaning, hissing, and hooting of the incensed multi tude was absolutely terrific, and to the spectator the scene was humiliating and mournful in the extreme. In this memorable contest the constant tendencies of Toryism have been strikingly 'exhibited. The War dens had been defeated three weeks before, and, deter mined not. to submit to the decision of the parish, they called for another poll. On Tuesday there was a heavy majority against them, and the poll closed at five o'clock, although there was a greater press of eotercon that than on any other ,day. Oa Wednesday the Church party gained fast ; and at five o'clock they saw that in an other hour's polling they would have the lead. and the Vicar extended the time to six o'cloCk. On Thursday the Anti-rate party were winning, and at five the poll closed. On Friday also the anti-rate party were ro gularly gaining, and the poll closed at five. Oa' Saturday, after four o'clock, the rate was gaining, and although in a minority at five, it seemed cer tain that by prolonging the time till six, a majority would be had for the rate, and therefore the time was extended I The plea that there was obstruction of vo ters is false and absurd--the doors were open when the Vicar announced the extension, and easy access was obtained by every voter, but it would serve a dirty party purpose, and that was sufficient reason for its adoption. To obtain this fraudulent majority efforts were resorted to such as men of common honesty and common feeling would be ashamed to be even suspected of. The Church party, with few exceptions, compelled all their hands to vote for the rate, at the risk of being turned away from their employment ; and Mr. Rushforth Broadbent, a woollen-manufacturer, and a friend of the Vicar, declared openly .that " he would turn every one of his men away who refused to vote for the rate." The Vicar's Warden himself has suffered many of his workpeople to be dis charged in consequence of the votes of themselves or their parents, and many other Tory manufacturers have done the same ; and some scores of families have been deeply injured by this savage and vindictive party, be cause their votes were given against the rate! To such a length has this been carried, that the Vicar's Warden, Mr. Abraham Brierley, of the firm of Pilling and Brier. ley, was repeatedly charged with it in open court be fore the Vicar and his own friends, and he dared not deny it ; and a score of working-men might be found immediately who would prove the base and unmanly conduct of many of those who profess to support a Christian Church ! The contest is certainly the most extraordinary which has ever taken place on the subject of Church rates. In the number polled—in the e fforts whi ch have been made to bring all to the poll—in the savage bit terness which has characterised the Church party, par taking more of the conduct of hired bravos than that of fair and honeurable opposition. A respectable Churchman. during the struggle, observed, '' Whoev er wins, the Church will lose ;" and the anti -rate party have the satisfaction of knowing that the Establish ment is damaged far more by this contest than a n y mere abstract reasoning upon its injustice a n d intole rance could have effecte in many years. After all the rate is not gained ; the Church party dare not boast— they have tremendous bills to pay-255. a-head for votes is expensive warfare ; and there are illegalities in their proceedings which will inevitably prevent the col lection of the rate. They have also the certain know ledge that any attempt to collect'. it will b e res i ste d to the utmost, and that am p le funds are in readiness to beat them in any Court they may choose to enter. some respectable individual, such as Cushy Mills, for instance.—( Roars of laughter.) Certainly h e did not think any man, who wished to stand well with his fel low-parishioners, would do it ; and let one thing be borne in mind especially, that no one was responsible for the payment cf it till it had been demanded from him by the Churchwarden in person.—(Hear.)

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying thatlthere is us member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to tho score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has keen the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected, The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practiess so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultin:ately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what th o real muse of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in them only preached two sermons during a number o rears, and for this he had received 30,000l.—(Shame.

John Howard, Esq., Chief possession of the Con stable of Rochdale , °n the motion of the Rev. Mr. Kershaw, seconded by Mr. Barton, was called to the Chair, and briefly opened the proceedings. . The Rev. Mr. H E WITT then came forward and moved the followino resolution :—" That the conduct of the Vicar and Wardens of this parish in causing another poll of the parish after a rate had been once refused, is contrary ,to common justi ce , an d i nsulting , to the parishioners. _-(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hewitt then proceeded at some length to comment on the dis graceful scenes produced in the parish by the late con tests, exposing the shallowness of the excuse set up by the Vicar for insisting on a poll after t h e comprom i se offered by the op thponents of the rate, n ame l y , "that it was the law of e land." Why if this was their only defence, there was not a species of cruelty known in the history of our country that had not been sanctioned by the same excuse.—(Hear, hear.) I t h a d b een justly described as the ,4 two-edged sword of craft and they have many parishes there where the Rectors are never seen but once a year—when they come to receive tithes.—(Laughter.) Now I pushed the Vicar at our last meeting for his law authority in sanction of the course he was taking. " Oh," said he, " the law which guides us the law of immemorial usage and custom."— (Laughter.) " Our practices," he said. " are valid as long as they are supported by usage." Now consult the opinions of lawyers on this subject. Every sound lawyer will tell you that the Church-rate claim is want ing in two grand essential things. Before they can make out a valid claim of custom they must show first " immemorial antiquity," and, secondly, " uniform prac tice."—( Hear, hear.) Now, if you come to search the records of the Church, you find nothing of Church-rates before the 14th century. They are not mentioned in the Law Book before the 16th century. Parishes were not known till the 12th century. The Bishops, Deans, and their Chapters, before that lived in their cathedrals, and subsisted on tithes. Church rates were never taken till after the Reformation. The cathedral clergy built their churches, repaired them, and maintained the poor out of the tithes ; and all that the clergy had for their own support was one fourth part of those tithes.—(Hear, hear.) Can these men plead immemorial usage in their favour, then, when they cannot trace the custom back beyond the 14th century ? The idea is absurd. The story about breaking the law by refusing Church-rates therefore, though it may frighten a few old women out of their money, must be laughed to ecorn by bearded men.— (Applause.) Leaving the question of right, however, I shall now proceed to show the conduct of the Vicar in this question. It is well known that I had to con front the Vicar durin g the greater part of last week in these proceedings. Soon after the poll commenced on Tuesday last, the vicar complained bitterly against the overseers of Spotland, Wardleworth, and Castleton being absent, and said to me, " I blame you, Sir, for it ; because it was through you they were kept away." Well, I frankly acknowledged that I had done all in my power to prevent them being present—(Loud laughter)—but I told him that the object was to faci litate the taking of votes, and also to prevent fraud. He replied, " I believe the object both of yourself and those who acted with you was to frustrate all my arrangements, and to enable fraud the more readily to be effected." I told him it would become his cloth to attribute more honoural)le mo tives to his opponents ; and soon afterwards a man named William Wild presented himself to vote. The Vicar asked him for his certificate, when he replied that be bad not one, and that he could not obtain one from the o verseers The Vicar said, " Which way do you intend to vote " For the.rate," he replied. " Oh," said the Vicar," is there any one here who knows him ?" A man present said he knew him to be a rate-payer ; and upon that the Vicar said, " You may go, then, and if you will send your certificate to-morrow, I wiles e m tahat your Church is recorded." Now, he treated a gny o party in this way. I told him this was very improper, and that many of these parties might go and get their certificates afterwards, and vote over again. But he con tinued to do it ; and when I told him that if he did so I should be under the necessity of sending to our friends to do the same, he said that he would not record their votes in th a t way .—(C r i es o f " Sh ame. " ) T w ill now direct your atten t i on t o th e f ac ili ty w i t h w hi c h b a d votes were passed on their side, while every obstacle wa s thrown in th e way o f taking votes for the opponents of the rate. There was a youth of the name of Ely. who voted nearly at the last, and gave six votes. I said afterwards to Dr. Molesworth, as soon as I had an Pp° tunity of speaking, " I was ra th er astonished, Doctor,°r give six your taking the votes of th a t b oy , w h o came to six votes." He said he did not reco ll ec t hi m. I said he was a youth of twelve or fourteen years of age, who came and said he was a partner in the firm of Small bridge and Co. " Oh," said the Rector, " I recollect him." " Well," said I, "he being so vcung, must be a minor, and not entitled to vote." " Well," said he, " I ant inclined to think myself the votes were bad." Hear ing this acknowledgment, and seeing the youth still in Court, we had him called back ; but the whole Tory host got round the Doctor, and the consequence was that he changed his mind again, and said the votes were good.—(Laughter.) I% ell, after that a Captain Raby came to give six votes for the Manchester and Leeds Railway. I said, " Mr. Raby, what have you come for ?" He said, " I have come to give votes for the Railway, in favour of the rate." " By whose autho rity ?" I asked. "By the authority of Captain Laws," he replied. " And who is he ?" I inquired. "Heis a gentleman empowered to do anything he thinks right for the line of railway," said he. Then said Ito the Vicar, this man's votes are bad, because it is an acknowledged maxim that if' a man is delegated to do any act for another, he cannot transfer that power to a third party. ".‘ Oh," said Dr. Molesworth, " I cannot take your ob jection, the votes must be recorded." I appealed to him then at least to put them upon the doubtful file until the question could be decided by a competent au thority, but he would not.—(Cries of " Shame.") I asked him next morning, when the polling re-commenced, seeing that he was a little calmer than on the day before, whether he had gisen the matter any further considera tion, and he said, " I am inclined to think that your ob jection was a valid one, but unfortunately the six votes ore recorded, and cannot he erased !"—(Great laughter.) Mr. Levi Lumb came up to vote against the rate. He has an assessment of between 501. and 601. When he came up the Doctor did all he could to reduce his as sessment below 50/. that he might have only one vote ; and this was the mode he adopted. He said that when the overseers made out the tickets for our party they put on the gross amount of rent or annual value, but that when they made out the tickets for the Church rate party they only put on the amount of assessment, which was 25 per cent. less. I said, " Why it is ab surd to think so, Doctor ; how are they to know who will vote for the rate and who against it ?" But it was of no use, and our friend was consequently stuck upon the doubtful file.—(Cries of " Shame.") Now I went the morning afterwards and put the question to the over seers. And what was the answer? Why the men felt indignant, as they well might. They said that their practice was one uniform practice from which they could not depart in any case. Well, I will mention another. There was formerly at Spotland a mill held by the firm of Aspden and Ramsbottom, but in April last the partnership was dissolved, Mr. Aspden retiring from all connection with the property. The dissolu tion was regularly gazetted, and was therefore no secret. Now on Wednesday this Mr. Aspdcn actually came ang gave five votes for the firm, though no longer a partner. These votes were in favour of the rate. On the following day Mr. Ramsbottom came to vote for the property on behalf of himself and brother, and showed that Mr. Aspden had no right to vote for it, and I presented the Vicar with a copy of the Gazette, showing that Aspden had separated. Well, what did he do? Why lie looked very grave, and admitted that the votes were bad ; " but,' said he, " unfortu nately, the votes are recorded and cannot be erased r (Expressions of indignation.) 1 reminded him of a pro mise he had made at the beginning of the poll, that in any case where one man voted for another his votes should be struck out, and placed to the name of the man whom he had voted for ; but he now said that he could not carry this promise out.---(Cries of " Shame.") Vs ell, but he not only allowed Mr. Aspden's five votes to stand, but he refused to allow the actual holder of the property, Mr. Ramsbottom, to have more than three votes, on the ground that the as sessment was insufficient.—(Laughter.) I then told Mr, Ramsbottom to go and get the assessment on his house added to that of his mill. He did so, and it was then sufficient for five votes ; but when he came back the Vicar said, " Oh dear, the case presents quite a new feature now ; I shall only allow you, Mr. Ramsbottom, one vote for the mill, and one for your house, and the same for your brother : this called forth loud indignation. This roused me, and I said, " you go to the Spotland booth, and let them refuse you at their peril. This alarmed the Vicar, and he said, " Mr. Barton, you will be so precipitate, you will not let me give you judgment."—(Laughter.) The fact is he had given judgment twice before, and I did not like either of them.—(Laughter and cheers.) Now, I am sure you cannot approve of conduct like this. It is base : it is unmanly.—(Cheers.) Now the Vicar told me, when he found himself defeated in the matter of the overseers, that on another occasion he would have his own way, in defiance either of the select vestry or the overseers. I said, " Dr. Molesworth, you are comparatively a stranger here yet ; when you become better acquainted with your parishioners you will not find them quite so flexible as whalebone ; you will find that they will neither allow you or your party to " Port Elizabeth, May 0 3. trample upon their rights with impunity."—(Great "On the 21st of March last, Lieutenant Rose, Com mander of her Majesty's ship Curlew, when in lat. 14, cheering.) 3 S., lon. 43, 46 E., fell in with, and d e t a i ne d, a vesse l Mr. SAMUEL WHITWORTH seconded the resolution, sailing under Arab colours, called Yaruga, armed with which was then put to the vote and carried amidst one gun and small arms, having slave irons, water tanks, great cheering. . and a quantity of matting on board, commanded by Mr. JOHN BRIGHT came forward to move the third Fatchei Kerin, who had no papers to show, but sta ing.
