THE Itbtrpool #tartbarb. TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1855, DISTRICT CHURCHES : THEIR ANOMALIES AND ABUSES. WE have had our attention called to a very glaring anomaly, and consequent grievance, in our parochial arrangements, by the report of a Church-rate meeting in Ormskirk, held on the 7th i ns t . The meeting, .which was convened to be held in the Parish Church, ,was adjourned to the Town-hall, where the Church :wardens' accounts for the previous year were read, and passed. They shewed a balance of £9. I4s. 44d. against the parishioners ; while one of the Church wardens stated that the amount of rate required, to meet the expenses of the ensuing year, would be £165. 18s. 10d. Upon this, Mr. PART, of Wigan, stated, in behalf of CHARLES SCARISBRICK, Esq., for whom he appeared, that he was not opposed to the Church-rate being laid, but to the present mode of -laying the rate ; inasmuch as the townships of Skel mersdale and Scarisbrick were paying, respectively, one-third and one-fifth more than the other townships in the parish. It was accordingly moved and seconded : " That a uniform rate of one penny in the pound be laid upon all and every the Parishioners of the Parish of Orms ;kirk, for and towards the necessary repairs of the Parish Church and its appurtenances; for defraying the expenses of cleaning the church and lighting it with gas; and also for paying the ringers', singers', organist's, beadles', and clerk's .salaries, and all other expenses necessary for the due and decent performance of Divine Worship." This was met by an amendment, moved by the Rev. E. L. BLENKINSOPP, who said that : " He did not agree that the rates should be equal in all the Townships. He did not say that he wished to keep up the old arrangement, because Mr. Part had most clearly shewn the injustice of it : but he (Mr. Blenkinsopp) would also spew that there was another, perhaps a greater, injustice, which this proposal would not touch. It was this : that some Town ships had to support two Churches, while others only supported one. He wished to see some remedy for this. He would state clearly what he meant. This year, three out of the six Churches in this Parish had put up apparatus for heating, viz., the Parish-Church, and the Churches of St. Paul, Skelmers dale, and St. James, Lathom. The expense of that in the Parish-Church was defrayed out of the rate ; in the other two by voluntary subscription: but the same persons, who sub scribed money for the apparatus at Lathom and Skelmersdale, also paid rates for that erected in the Parish-Church. The consequence of this was, that Skelmersdale and Lathom Churches had been heated in a very inefficient manner, solely ..through a want of funds to do it effectually. And so, also, the current expenses of five out of the six Churches were defrayed by voluntary subscriptions, gathered from persons who were paying rates to Parish-Church. To go no father than his own Church : t it was consecrated in 1851 ; a large number of things were required in order to the proper celebration of divine worship, as matting, has socks, and, of course, in a new building, a quantity of coal for fires to dry the Church ; a considerable item, too, was the drainltig of the Church-yard —a thing absolutely necessary before interments could take place. The money for these things he had advanced ; and he could assure the meeting that not a half had been repaid him. The Church was in debt to him then upwards of £2l, yet he had to pay rates himself to the Parish Church ! Now, he asked, was there not a crying injustice in all this ?—an injustice to him, and an injustice to the people of his district ? But this was not all ; the injustice ended not there. They were aware that there was a burial .ground attached to Lathom Church, in which he was bound to perform the burial-service over those that were brought to be barielthere. They knew, also, that certain fees were paid to the officers of the Church for the performance of this duty .a just arrangement, as the labourer was worthy of his hire. However, he was informed by the Vicar that this was not law. He came down upon him, and claimed the fees. He said, you must perform all this service, and be put to all this inconvenience; but I must have the money. When he (Mr. B.) pointed out the monstrous injustice of this claim, he said, you may have justice upon your side, but nave right—[Q. law ? Sumrnum jus, sumrna injuria.—ED. L. S.j—inicl so the money I will have. Was there not room in all this for investigation ?—for inquiry ? The Church-rate was originally intended to provide for the celebration of Divine worship in a ;Parish.: then there was only one Church ; now there were six. •Why then should not all six equally participate in the rate ? Would any one say that Divine worship was celebrated pro perly only in the Parish Church 9—that the district Churches were unworthy of support? Would any one say, that it was a just and right thing that the people in the districts should have the burden of supporting two Churches? There could ' be but one answer. He asked, therefore, for investigation, for a report, in order to some better arrangement. He begged leave, therefore, to move the following amendment :—" That a committee be formed, consisting of the Vicar and Church -wardens of the Parish of Ormskirk, the Incumbents and 7 ehurchwardens of the Churches of St. John and St. James, Lathom; St. Paul, Skelmersdale ; Holy Trinity, Bicker staffe ; St. Mark, Scarisbrick ; with power to add to their number, to inquire into, and report upon, the present mode of 'levying and applying the Church Rate of the Parish of Onus 'kirk, in order to effect a more equitable adjustment of the -same." While the existence of the evils, so ably brought forward by the reverend gentleman, was readily ad mitted, it was shown that the meeting had no power •to remedy them, their business being to allow or reject the rate, which was eventually carried by a show of J 14 1 1 4, All honour, say we, to the inhabitants of the Parish - of Ormskirk, who, though acknowledging the esist •ence of injustice, under which many of them actually smarted, would not avail • themselves of the power •which they possessed to 'refuse the rate ! Not ' more than three or four hands, we are informed, in a very full meeting, were held up against it. We are glad, also, to be able to say, that; upon the motion for adjournment from the vestry to some larger place, the determination, by a large majority, was against holding the meeting in the church, and in favour of the Town-hall. But the 'portion of the 'business which principally 'claims our attention is the speech of the Rev. Mr. BLENKINSdPP (which we have given above in extenso), Incumbent -of one of the • district churches in the parish, who certainly made out a case of grievance of no light character ; both as regards his own position as incumbent, and that of the people of his district as ratepayers. We have now a very much clearer per - caption of the considerations which may induce the refusal ofa Church-rate,thanwe had before: we can quite 'understand how some very faithful Churchmen may -have felt the present law of Church-rates a grievance, and have absolutely voted against Church-rates alto gether,' rather than submit to the grievance. The state of things described by the reverend gentleman as existing in•his own district, is, without doubt, that of hundreds more. These district churches have all the duties and - responsibilities of old parishes, but have not the privileges : in fact, the district church, in many_ instances, is a burden rather than a privilege. Then, again, these 'district churches were the origin of pew letting ; a thing unknown in parish churches, until imported from these anomalous excrescences. We need not - Stop now to prove the disastrous conse quences of thus introducing mammon as an element `- into religion : it is sufficient to say, that the evil we have mentioned has been stereotyped, and made part and parcel of the regular order of things, by successive acts of parliament ; each succeeding act Confirming the wrong, instead of attempt . - jug to remedy it. By the system of appropriated seats, the man who is too poor to pay for one for himself and his family, is excluded from the benefit of ilie district Church; while he is still called upon to pay Church-rates to the . Parish Church, which is, perhaps, at too great a distance to enable him to attend it : and besides this, with a refinement of cruelty, the Parish Church itself is so taken up with close pews, that there also he is shut out. If of set purpose means had been taken to alienate men from the. Church, and make them disgusted with it, hardly any more effectual could have been devised. Nothing can demonstrate more clearly how utterly unfit Par liament is to deal with the affairs of the Church ; how incompetent to understand her position and her interests. No doubt, it intended all these arrangements for the good of the Church, and the advancement of her interests : nay, we remember that Sir It: PEEL, on occasion of his resigning office, mentioned some of these measures, as a proof of how he had studied to do her good, and to legislate for her benefit : and he really thought so. No further proof is needed to shew how incapable a mere s t atesman i s t o compre hend the wants of the Church. As clearly must all see that only the Church's legislature can understand these things ; it is only the Clergy, who so feel them as to be able to suggest the remedy. Had Convoca tion been in full force, no such anomalies as these could have been introduced. Its members would not people at heart t oo only have had the real good of the Deeply- to allow such grievances as these to be perpe tuated, but, being themselves daily in view of them, they would have both seen the evil, and supplied the remedy. FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING. THE war debate, with its multiform array of resolutions and amendments, its singular revelations of unexpected policy, and its odd display of party statesmanship, has already been all - but forgotten in the welcome narrative of success which has attended the altered tactics of our fleets and armies. The news of one signal success has trod so rapidly on the heels of another, that the busied and delighted people of these islands have had no time to waste in canvassing the merits of a fruit less debate, and not much more to listen to one, the chief and only merits of which were that success or failure In its osten sible object would be of equal unimportance, that object being the active prosecution of a war which the energies of our soldiers and sailors putit out of the power of a ministry to thwart or accelerate. The progress of the war in the Crimea continues as signally successful as its first burst was unex pected. The success has been so marked and tangible, that those who a few brief weeks ago despaired of the reduction of SebastOPol, now speculate freely upon the measures to be ulti mately adopted, when the Crimea has been wrested froei the grasp•of Russia. Such has ever been the instability of popular opinion. Fickle as the smiles of Fortune, it is always in extremes : and those who yesterday were sunk in the depths of despair, to-morrow will be revelling in anticipated triumph. Apart from the mere breath of popular opinion on ,such matters, those whose views have been stedfastly fixed on the objects, for the accomplishment of whieh the struggle was . . _ originated, still see those objects in the dim distan;e—illu mined, no doubt, by rays of brighter promise, but still too far remote to be easily clutched, It cannot be presumptuous, however, iu those whose hope was never so. far downetwt by evanescent, though sharp adversity, as to despair'—and who have not been so elated by brilliat, though, it m tof be; fleeting success, as to deem the task of =thing Russian aggression an easy one, to look with studious eye upon the ultimate' result, If the game is not altered by the induction of some unexe pected element, the fate of the Crimen s asa Russian territory,. will speedily be in the hands of the Western Powers. With ample supplies of men and military sterna, and such ale ime proved position in the Allied affairs as have'all been broaglit about within the last few weeks, the Russian force in that peninsula must soon be expelled or subjugatetb When this shall have been achieved, then comes the putziing questions-, what is to be done with the Crimea ?—who is- to sear bounds to Russian domination in the Euxine? Already the reduction of the Crimea is well advanced. Austria, our costly and faithful ally-to-a-certain extent, Laving kindly reduced its army and fallen back upon its old neutrality, enables the Annocsar to advance every available regiment he possesses against us ; but are we not masters of her ciiief means of transporting and feeding them, by the Sea of Azeff? If we are not as yet in full command of Perekop, a few revels-inn suns will see us in that proud position, and, with r60;000 troops in the Crimea and the sea open to them, Russia will be unable to keep up or feed a force sufficient to resist the Aries. True, it is understood that the Russians muster about len,ooo men in the field, besides those shut up in Sebastopol ; and' further it is said, in all likelihood with truth, that the army in the field is advantageously placed, and strongly defended by well-constructed fieidworks. The superiority of the AlEis in the field has been too surely demonstrated, to admit cf' doubt as to the result of a conflict with equal numbers. The-1 last successes of the besiegers places under their command tie-1 eastern slope of the town, and enables them with Russian guns discharged from Russian work e which theyhavecaptared to sweep. the lineof communication between the town and thenorth shore of the bay, by which they have hitherto received their supplies of men and provisions, as well as' shot, and other munitions of war. The Allies have now extended and secured their lines , far in advance of their former position as assailants of the Russians in the field. They occupy an important post beyond the Tchernaya, which, menacing Inkerman and Bakshi compels the Russians to keep the field to prevent the complete investment of Sebastopol. Oh the' extreme eaet, we have mot only secured the-Sea of Azoff, but have, gained so good nfoo t ing in Kertch. and Arabat, as to afford every means of threatening Simpheropol, and menacing or even capturing Kaffa, the ancient Theodosia. These are in themselves advantages as great as the destruction of maganines and this cutting off of supplies, by whichtheir achievement was accom panied, and present so many opportunities of molesting and harassing the Russians at different points, without Atoning a. moment's respite to the garrison of - Sebastapck as to lend to the conjecture that the final struggle for poseeesion of the fortress is an event of no distant occurrence. Indeed, it is said the time 'of the great blow has already been fixed, and that the positions of the various columns of assault, and the corps com posing them, are named. Everything betokens rising energy on the part of the assailants ; and, judging lay the progress which has been made within the last few days, it is not by any means improbable that the present week may witness the Allied flags waving in triumph, over the dilapidated and con quered ramparts of Sesbatopol. With such justifiable grounds for anticipating success in this arduous enterprise, the forerunner of the capture ofthe Crimea, if not the immediate harbinger of peace, thequestion of—What -is to be done with the Crimea?—presents itself for consideration with accelerating urgency, and vastly-increased importance. Discarding the new cant of doing nothing to hurniFate our foes, sensible men believe that,in humiliating Russia,and diminish ing her power, is to be found the only safeguard against the spirit of reckless aggression by which her conduct to her neighbours has been actuated. Such parties, in this lopping off a portion from the territory of Russia, see nothing, in wresting the Crimea from her grasp, beyond stripping her of the fruits of yesterday's rapine. In doing this, and in ex cluding her from a harbour in the Black Sea, they recognise no other principle than compelling restitution from the robber, and securing n " material guarantee" against his future ag gressions. Those who view the matter and who counsel thus, say,—Let the Crimea be taken, and retained. Allow the French possession of Sebastopol, while we secure the peninsula of Kertch, together with the harbour and bay of Kaffa ; and reinstate the old Tartar princes in their capital of Bakshi- Serai. By doing-this, say they, the best guarantee will be ob tained against Russian aggression upon Turkey. Such a course of policy would find no countenance in the support of GLA.DSTONE and GRAnAM, Of HERBERT, aIBSON, BRIGRT.. and COBDEN, and the other SUBMISSIONIST leaders, who . insist, with such perverse assiduity, that no humiliation shall be offered to Russia, and that nothing shall be done which could brand her conduct as fraudulent,—imr negotiations as deceitful. Indeed, it is already rurnassred that intrigues for bringing about such a termination to the war as would have this effect have been set 00, foot in Germany. Apprehensions of French success in the East, as tending to a renewal of the firstNaroexoses designsagainst German independence, are sedulously, cultivated at Berlin, and it is said receive affectionate culture in Belgium,. and that shoots of this unnatural plant are carefully nurtured in some of the petty courts. The extraordinary sentiments uttered in Parliament by Sir JAMES GEAEAM, and Messrss.GLlDsroxs and S. HERBERT, are said to he wonderfully in,harmony with those which form the current flow in the Courta.of Berlin and Brnsiels; the great object of the policy of which is to bring the war to a close so soon as the capture at Sebastopol shall have been effected, in order, it is said, to break, up the Angloe French Alliance, which is viewed with much suspicion by the courts referred to, and all whom they can influence. It is. further rumoured that these potentates, have been intriguing to set Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the van as Premier of thnEnge lish Cabinet, and look forward, at no, distant day, to see his lordship treat Lord PALMERSTON to such another touch of his quality as he recently exhibited towards Lord AItERDEEN.. The rumour has assumed various forms, and is thus alluded to in the Morning Herald :—" We believe that the differences to which we have alluded do exist between Lord PAroXERSTON and Lord JOTIN ; and we believe with a morning contempo rary, that a party does exist in the Cabinet which would pre fer an Austrian and Prussian, if not a Russian alliance to that which now happily exists with our present gallant coadjutors in the Fest." Connected with this rumour, and the probability of the re sult it contemplates, great stress has been laid on the remarks made by Prince ALnnnT at the Trinity House banquet, where he proposed the toast of " HER MAJESTY'S MinisterS." In dis charging this somewhat unwonted duty, the PRINCE CONSORT, departing from the prescribed line which has generally pre vented him from interfering with any matter, or entering upon the discussion of any subject which could be supposed to reveal any political bias, His Royal Highness expatiated at considerable length upon the claims to forbearance, sympathy, and good-will of their fellow-countrymen,. presented by HER MAJESTY'S Ministers, at the present crisis of affairs. • Some parties, indeed, have indulged in ill-natured criticism on the distinction, and the manner of drawing it, which the royal orator displayed in pointing out the difference existing in despotic Russia and our own free country. The former, he' said, Was at once able to seize upon the improvements in mechanical and chemical science, which have " sprung up under the generating influence of our liberty and our civiliza tion," and to bring them into use with " all that force which unity of purpose and action, impenetrable secrecy, and uncon trolled despotic power have given her." This advantage of secrecy and decisive action he contrasted, in the following terms, 'with our own political arrangements, which some affect to say appear marked by indications of regret, if not of positive disapprobation. " The QTJ B EN," said THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. he, " has no power to levy troops, nor has she any at her command, but such as offer their voluntary services. Her Government can take no measure for the prosecution of the war which it has nit beforehand to explain in Par liament. Her armies and fleet can make no movements, nor even prepare for any, without their being publicly announced in the papers. No mistake, however trifling, can occur, no want or weakness exist, which is not at once denounced, and even sometimes exaggerated with a kind of morbid satisfaction. The QUEEN'S ambassador can enter into no negotiations without ' the Government having to defend him, by entering into all the arguments which that negotiator, in order to be success ful, ought to be able to shut up in the innermost recesses of his heart. Nay, at the most critical position, when war and diplomatic relations may be at their height, an adverse vote in Parliament may at a moment deprive the QuEEs of the whole of her confidential servants." The picture here minutely painted is by many denied to be a true one, particularly as regards the ambassadorial functions and defence. Negotiations are not interfered with in Parliament till they have been brought to a close ; and if within the last few weeks a con trary course of operations has been witnessed, the fault lay not with Parliament, but with Ministers, who declared the negotiations finished, although it afterwards suited their con venience to aver that they were not concluded. In point of fact, the criticism to which their diplomacy was subjected, and the condemnation which it underwent, arose out of the suspicion engendered by the fast and loose style of their own declarations, and their own notorious disagree ments. As regards HER MAJESTY'S inability to levy troops, except through their own voluntary act, there are not wanting statesmen of authority, who believe, and their belief is sym pathised in by the public, that the devoted loyalty, unswerving fidelity, and chivalrous daring of those volunteers, is not surpassed by the bravery and attachment of any horde of organised serfs which have ever been driven to battle beneath: the Russian• banner; nor will their atheivements in the brunt of battle• pale - before the deeds of any German levies who ever took the field ; whether in accordance with their own will, or in obediene. - -- to• that of another. The remarkop of His Royal Highness were• at least unusual, and no smallnumber of sedate and thinking linen: pronoisn€ them unfortmate; so fat . ; as they have a tenancy to commit their author 3,8. approving or &approving of constititutional peculiarities; with which foglishmen are naturally jealous of any intevference;- and which a sounder poky would hate induced him to.avoi& His observations did mor4r than. even % this, however, they' had , the effect of throwing the might ofthe•crown into that talanceiu which the Ministry hr been- weighed and found mnting. That 2Fince ALBERT ever intended to do any or these. things; orlo express an opinion• favourable to the continential , despotism;• and adverse to British. freedom, ij exceedikgly unlikely;. bct that it has been liable - to Stith misconstruction;• and•been• commented on accordingly, is-a gong presumption , ell-its-inexpediency. The public features of the pastrweekhave6een in no small degree connectecr , with the recentmovement for . the agitation of lidministratire.Reform. The - first meeting:of the Associ ationi.whichlasjustbeen forma to effect that purpose, was held on Wednesday' evening, in Ditity4ane Theatre. The stage, an the occasionj.was occupie& by a. large' gathering of the chief' promoters' of the movement, conspicuotte among whom were two earia- and thirty members of parliament, includingthe unhesitatling , Mr. LAYASTY and a considerable sprinkling. , :of military agd naval officers„Some 'medicaligentle men, and a , squadron •of grievance-mongers from. the' Irish cohort of malcontents whieh musters nightly in .the 'House of Commons.

The chief speaker of the evening was , -111i; Ls..renn,; who, with his - sual ardour of assertion, con hived consider ably to overcolour the pictures-which he drew. - - At an earik wriocl of his colloquy, he averredthat, if he might be permitted: to divide the nation. into , two parts as • connected with the movement, " he should see placed: on one side all! the men , of common sense, rerpettability, andwealth—all who, by their own, • toil, perseverance, and sweat of brow loped to raise themselves and do , pod public seevieeopposed, ay. the other eide;•to a small partly? who claimed for themselves a monopoly of the governinent„ and who !vegetated' and grew fat upon those corruptions andievils which, please God,4his msociation determined, if pomade,. to .remover .

Mr. Leanswr, the next speaker, appeared- to: considerableadivan tage, after the frothy eloquence of the intrepid archssologist. He had at least cce„,practir,al grievance to bring before his audienee, and he did. it -with plain,but tellinghrevity. He ~about six weeks ago ,he was .asked ,by Sir 11%..14.cr, F,'YAZIS if the scarcity of. shipping was. AM. as great as it had been ? His reply.-was, that shipning might be had to any. extent. Sir DE LAQT,ETA.ZIS Slatthit •statement was ,most , strange, as more than a month before he had been desirous of sending out 3,oo(k.horses to Anti' -,dixision in, the C.Viraea, and had been told it, was impe3siblp ‘to find ships to.earry, them out. As much surprised at this story as the gallantoffieer had been at his, Mr. LIIPSAT, TM* inquiry, and found that a friend of his own had lately ; written to Levi offering in twenty-four hours!. time to supply. a .magnificent fleet of the finest ships in the,-world, capable-of carrying_oult 2,200 horses, ,at the low rate : o sixteen or aeventeen,shilli b aga. per ton registered teenage,. To this, the .usna/.. answer, that the offer would ,be . considered, was retuxned. Some. time afterwards, another offer-was made to Government to fuldi a fleet capable of takingout 2,600 horses; ; but so far_es. the speaker understood, the, larger portion of the horses.referred to by Sir De I.A.e . i.RvAku,a had not beewsent out yet. Now this, ifs true .to the letter, and not a:naere:fancy sketch like some : of Mr. Le...e.g.p..!.s richly-embellished, facts, was. really semethinglike a tangible ground of complaint. "tariff alteram partern however,, a good maxim, andhaving, heard a good deal about the deficiency encountered:by. Gov.erunaent in their attempts. to procure horses, as well, as.not having been fur nished with any data to point cut the.maneewhereso large a, "mount" way be at once procured, it may be as well to suspend judgment in the matter for a moment. The subject of Administrative. Reform, was brought before the House of Commons on Friday evening by Mr. LATARD, on. which occasion he introduced his long-threatened motion,. I,n a, long and weary cl:httribe, he recapitulated the statement& he had made on the same.subject in divers places previously, and Wound up by an. assault upon the Ministry, warning the nation that the partial, successes which have of late erowned the allied arms in. the Crimea, were no certain forerunners of ultimate success. Sir E, &LITTON moved an amendment on Mr. LAYARD'S proposal; it was to the effect that merit should be the test of success in securing public appointments, and also that merit should, be encouraged by fair proraotiort and legiti mate rewards. He sincerely urged the question on the consi deration of the lanusP, as one of great importance to the best interests of the country, but he condemned.while he repudiated the language used by Mr. LAYARD and others out of doors. As not unfrequently happens with those who endeavour to realise the play of " She Would and She Would Not," Mn.. GIaDSTONE could not agree with either the motion or the amendment. His panacea for the evil was the ejectment of Ministers, which could be repeated, he contended, as often as . departments were filled by incompetent persons. "They make a solitude and call it peace," was a charge brought against the Romans in their thirst for conquest—the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer would incessantly create vacuums in office, that they might be well filled ! After a protracted discussion, the debate was adjourned till this evening. On Monday last, Mr. SAMUEL IVAnnEm, Q.C., brought a case, 111 Away v. BEWICKE, before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. WOOD, in which, as counsel for the plaintiff, a common day labourer and gardener at Louth, the learned gentleman en deavoured to establish the claim' of his client to property • worth £50,000 a year. The case, in .some of its particulars at least, bears resemblance to that.which he '194 supposed in his splendid work of 'fiction, " Ten Thousand a Year." MANDY seeks to establish. his claim as heir-at-law to one DOROTHY WINDSOR, who was the lawful possessor of pro perty in Newcastle-on-TYne and in the county of Northum berland, which is now worth the princely revenue referred to. This DOROTHY, a widow, formerly DOROTHY STOTE, daughter of Sir RICHARD SIOTE, Kilt., died without issue in 1756, and re': , the plaintiff claims in virtue of his grandfather STOTE Malin; then nearest of kin and heir to the childless DOROTHY WINDSOR. STOTE MANDY was a labourer, and had his brain injured by the kick of a horse, which impaired his intellect; and on his succession to the property, it is alleged that Sir ROBERT BEWICKE and JonN CRASTER, both of whom were tenants upon the property, retained permanent possession of it, taking advantage of his imbecility. The case was a very complicated one, and was first brought under no tice of the Courts by Mr. WAnnErt, who, at the Newcastle spring assizes, raised an action of ejectment against CRASTER and BEIVICKE, present possessors. It was heard by Baron PARKE, who stated that the only course open was to proceed in a court of equity. The statement of the case was very voluminous, and on that occasion occupied the learned counsel three hours in tracing its various intricacies. In giving his opinion as to the incompetency of the tribunal before which it was brought to deal with such a case, Baron PARKE com plimented Mr. WARREN in high terms for the ability and industry as well as the forensic acumen he had displayed, in laying so intricate and interesting a case before the Court. On Monday last, after being again heard at great length, leave was granted to Mr. WARREN to amend his bill, which had been demurred against. Whether he will be able to place his client, the Lonth gardener, in possession of the noble property, after it has been a century in the possession of others, it is no easy matter to say; but, judging by the erudition and eloquence with which he has discussed an imaginary case, bearing con siderable analogy be its main features to the one he has now in hand in reality, and building so far on the success which has hitherto attended his efforts, there seems considerable ground for expectation in the matter, and a certainty that all honourable means will be adopted to ensure a favourable result. From the usually dry courts of law, to those over which MELPOMENE and TIL&LIA preside f ie a transition generally of a gratifying order. To make the' change in a case wherw an original five-act English play has. been produced, is more than ordinarily welcome. A new play, from the pen of Mr. Jorlrf SAUNDERS, lately editor of the People's Journal, has beeui produced at the Haymarket with marked success. It had been sometime previously before the public in a printed form, and hae at last been brought upon the• boards with Miss HELEN FAVCIT RS the heroine. The piece' is called " Love's Martyrdom,!' and besides displaying many admirable and telling dramatic' situations, it is cast in favourable and well constructed, language. Thestory, though tinged , considerably with the romantic,- is-welt brought out. The characters are cleverly and clearly drawn, and they express themselves and give utterance-to their emotions in language- fall of passion and replete with _poetic beauties. The chief characters in " Love's Martyrdom!' were . ably sustained by Miss- HELEN FAVCIT, Miss SrANDOROUGMS.

TO TILE;ASSOCIATION SECRETARY- OE , TRE. eI:TIMM Or ENGLAND EDUCATION, sOCIETT. 11, Adam;street, Adelphi, July, 1854, REVEREND SIR,—As you areabout to enter on your duties as agent- for the Society, it is, right that you should have , beforeyou, the objects which the Committee wish you to keep, in view,, and the spirit in which, they hope you will act. This, is themore necessary, as they find: their objects and proceed— ings, still misunderstood :31 many quarters : an evidence- of which appears in the enclosed. letter; addressed by the Secre-. tary of the National Society, to one of its travelling agents.. I. Let me observe, that the-objects of our Society and, the• views of its Committee•must always be taken from &ailments issued by the authori of the Committee and authenticated, by the signature of them Chairman and Secretary. Y,ou. will understand, and state,.that these alone express the mind of the Society. 11. You will find; that these documents have been, drawn up in a spirit of conciliation, every unnecessary allnsien to the National Society being carefully avoided. 'So far from dis paraging the work of that Society, you will find in the papers published by us a tribute paid to the utility awl impartiality of its building grants. I am aware, indeed, that the formation. of a new Society has been represented as in itself the strongest evidence of our hostility and antagonism. You will state ) on all occasions, that tl - ,e Committee are ready to defen4 and justify this step. They have never had a moment's doubt of its necessity ; and had they shrunk from it they would, in their judgment, have abandoned an imperative .duty. When you have been made acquainted with the grounds of their decision, you will, I think, be prepared to approve and to defend it. 111. It were, indeed, much to be desired that one Society should have represented the feelings of the Church. On the question of education, the importance of this cannot be over rated. TO . secure this end, individual sacrifices should have been made; and Mutual coneessions. But if the National Society is to act •as the representative of the Church of England, it' must have two characteristics. It must include in the range of its operations the whole field of educational want ; it must combine in its management the two great sections by which that Church is represented. (1.) On the first point, the range of operations of the National Society was incomplete. The two great wants of the day in education are—money to build school-houses, and means to Maintain schools. The first is primary in time, but secondary in importance; the second is less felt at first, and becomes most urgent afterwards. The first want may be met by occa siohal and temporary efforts ; the second needs a constant and regular supply.; and the more one want is met,' the greater become the demands of the other. The National Society was instituted to supply the first want; the other want remained. It is this which the Church of England Education Society seeks to 'grapple with and remove, and thus to supply the defects of the National Society. There is ample room for the oper4ions of both. If you are asked, Which Society was most required half a century ago ? I would answer, The National Society. If you are asked, Which is the most important now ? you may with confidence say, it is the work to which the Church of England Society chiefly devotes itself. (2.) With regard to the assistance given to Training Schools —this is a work common to both Societies. Many friends of the National Society have regretted that it was ever induced to enter upon this new department. Undoubtedly the con nexion of that Society with its Training Schools has involved it in grave embarrassments. Before it entered upon this, while at least it confined itself to its limited operations in Westminster, it had the countenance of influential laymen of various parties. Lord Shaftesbury, whose services to educa tion and benevolence it would be presumptuous to praise, was then a member of the Committee ; and it was under his name that the appeal was made for funds, which enabled it to erect the Training College of St. Mark's. It is as needless as it is painful to dwell upon the change which has since taken place. ( 3.) The second characteristic of a National Society of Edu cation is, that it shall combine in its management the two leading sections of the Church of England. We cannot recog nise Tractarians as a constitutional Church party. But in a truly national Church Society, which requires public support, and appeals to public confidence, the Evangelical portion, as it is called, ought to have at least an equal share. The proof of this is easy. The two sections have, in some cases, formed distinct Societies for carrying on the same work, and it is a well-known fact, that the influence and resources of those Societies which represent the Evangelical section of the Church are considerably in advance of any others : the amount of money contributed by the Protestant and Evangelical party for religious purposes very far exceeding that which is intrusted to any Society which is not exclusively in their hands. Clearly, then, the National Society, if it was to repreSent the Church of England, ought to have had in its management at least an equal number of the Evangelical party. This, I presume, was the desire of our present venerated Primate when he sought to induce members of the Evangelical section to join the Commiteee of the National Society. It was this consideration which induced me in 1848 to become a member of it. It would be useless and tedious to recapitulate efforts that have been made and hopes which have been disappointed; the case requires no such statement. The facts are before us they are plain and undeniable. In describing the manage ment of the Society, I speak of the elective Committee alone, as by the Charter the Vice-Presidents are, in a great deg Te e .,. Axed; they include all the Episcopate, of whom we would on all occasions speak with the reverence which is due to their office. You will find that the sixteen elected members of Committee are (as has been shown in our original papers) the real representatives and practical managers of the Society. Of these sixteen members, during the five years in which I sat in the Committee, two only could be held in any sense to represent the Evangelical section. One of these' two, though sympathising with their sentiments, could not be altogether identified with their party. Even now, two only of their Committee can be said to have any sympathy with the Evan gelical section;: two out of sixteen; two in place of eight. So determined was the Society to keep this one-sided 'nonage ment, and to reiset those who , had any sympathy with the Evangelical party;:tbat they ejected "an old member cf the Committee ;" when pressed upon them by the Episcopate, they rejected him a m p. in i •• and when the same authority pro posed to them even , Mr: Jackson (now Bishop of Lincoih), Sic' Henry Dukinfieldi, Sir Robert Inglis, and Mr. Mackennie (aft Martin's), they refused then all , . After such evidences of partiality, no man can say that the management of the' National Society really' represents- the - Church of England.. It cannot be accepted as• a , National Society—it is the repre sentative of one class only';. and if it lOses , public support, it has itself to blame, for exeltuling that section which is proved to have the greatest amount of publie'confidence. IV. You may be asked whether the . vets of the National Society's Committee have coincided , with: thie one-sided cha racter. Iliey have. You will find evidenee of this in the two original papers published by our Committee. A few words will mcapitulate the facts. There was , an attempt in the National' Society's CommUtee •to effect a separation be tween the Siciety and its T:laining-schools-::: many of the Vice-Presidenthssaw the advantage of this, andsupported the plan. It was defeated; and the Training.schoolk must now be held as indissolubly linked with the Society: They are four. Of the Westminster Training-school I can say but little, having no- materials for forming , a correct indgment of its merits. We- cannot, however, expect confidence to be placed in a traininpschool which is under the management of . a Committee excltdinp.:,, as they do, that!portion of theClaurch to which the largest amount of public - support is giton. But the attendance of the masters in training at the . Broadway Church is certainly calculated to raise grave suspicions. The Training-schools of Whitelands, Battersea, -and St: Mark's, :are under the management of distinct' Councils ) G' believe that the Councils which manage the two , first are fairly com posed, and may be considered to represent the two sections of Ate Church. The Connell of St. Mark's is, •however, in the hands of an exclusive and extreme party. On this gronntl, if there were no other, it hes no claim on pub - lie-confidence ern if it had such clairni its own line of ccncluct has cancelled it. This state of thinga-was brought formally by the deputa tion- at Lambeth before the Archbishop of Canterbury and the 'Erishop of London, and also under she notice of the NatDinal Society's Committee, in the Memorial presented in 1851 by 1,800 influential members of the Church. To meet this, as has been done, by - asking that the allegations should be proved, was to evade thequestion. The facts alleged were not denied; it was impossible to deny them ; they were ! notorious. A peculiar daily service in the thapel, practices and opinions in some of the students characteristic of . that party in the Church known for their Romish tendencies-, and the cholhe of a most objectiOnahle person to one :of the highest posts in the school, are facts-patent to all. What was wanted to set the College right in the estimation of the - public was , neither proof nor inquiry, but change and reform: , A College• so managed, marked with such features, should not have been• allowed t continue for a day in connexion with a Society which professes to be attached to the Reformed Church or England. The Bishops of the Church had publicly repre hended thause of a choral service in parochial churches.: For• the training of parochial Schoolmasters that choral. :service was, in St: Mark's, deliberately selected and ohstiriately re tained.: Thls clergy of the Church require for their - parish schools humble, assiduous, and earnest teachers. The Council; of St. Mark'i have selected elaborate music and classical teach ing, the na'Acral result of which has been to provide the stn. dents with that smattering which ensures conceit, and disqua lifies for teaching. A love of Evangelical truth, and devotion to Protestanrprinciple, are the characteristics of every honest member of a Church which proelaims by its existence and. ts formularies its protest against' Rome. The Coar4ii; of St. Mark's selected for one of their most responsible •posts a master who had distinguisheaniciaself by his protestagainst Ptotestantisne, and by his sympathies with Rome.; .and who• had so disgusted the great body of the Brighton clergy. that they refused to enter the National School while he-remained the master. These are facts , ;-.they need no comment; they admit of none.,. They are unchallenged, notorious. Ynauwill state them, hi all love and charity, whenever the-training schools of the National Sociaty„ and its connexion with, Mark's, are inquired into., The, foregoing Tema will:enable you to understand, and , explain our proceedings. You will especially bear in -maid that personal controversy is to be carefully avoided, as the Society must ont - kbejndged of by its own acts and documents. Your sole object should be to eonvey to others. a,hist im pression of the • magnitude and .urgency of the cause. whieim you advocate. It is a great and good work, affectingthe•wel fare of the peeple,•the xnoreas-og•the young, and the interests of true religion. As such, it appeals for general .support and you will advance it best by avoiding personal discussions, and appealing with confidence to the gleakesa.anti: zigh teousness of our cause..
