TO CORRESPONDENTS Under no circumstances accompanied by the author necessarily fo publication, but as a guarantee of rood faith and contain (in confidenc an adoption of the " Declaration" as a matter of compulsion, not acquiesence The municipal electioneering campaign has at length been fairly opened. One gentleman, whose term, of office expires on the Ist of November next—Mr. Shimmin, who has deserved so well of the constituency for his valuable . services in the Markets' Committee, and also for his other wise independent and useful aid in conducting the business of the town, was waited on last night by an influential deputation, for the purpose of re questing that he would allow himself to be again put in nomination for Vauxhall Ward, and pledging themselves to use every lawful means to secure his return, as well as declaring that they will not allow their interests to be made the sport of rival politicians. We are glad to understand that Mr. Shimmin has cordially responded to the call. Conservatives and independent voters of all classes should put their shoulders to the wheel, and se cure the return of this gentleman, who has shown himself so fully able to cope with the difficul- ties by which a faithful discharge of public duties is beset. On the other side, we perceive that a candidate is in the field for Great George Ward, in the person of Mr. John H. Wilson, of the firm of Bathgate and Wilson, brassfounders, who has issued an address to the electors. This gentleman's address will, of course, be scanned by the electors with that amount of curiosity which such documents generally elicit ; but as a man little known to 'the constituency, and coming forward under auspices not very assuring, his pretensions will, of course, be narrowly investigated before the craving of his address is favourably considered. The naval and military services of this country are so generally appreciated, that friendly inter- course with the members of either service is eagerly cultivated by all classes. With feelings of much pride, therefore, we refer to the fact that a very interesting—indeed charming— festivity was prepared last night by the officers of her Majesty's ship Donegal, now in the Mersey, and participated in' by a large number of the in habitants of Liv erpool and Cheshire. Blue Book just issued, containing the minutes of evidence taken before the Select Committee of the House of Lords, as to: " the " present operation of. the law and practice " respecting the assessment and the levy of " Church Rates," is an . important publication. We find from it that, the Duke of MARLBOROUGH having been elected chairman of the Committee, the first witness called was Dr. HALE, Archdeacon of London. This reverend divine is known to have paid great attention to the question of Church -rates;, and the testimony which he gave with reference to their origin and history, as well as with respect to the ulterior object sought by their abolition, is most interesting and impor- tint. The Archdeacon suggested an_ arrange ment which, while it would relieve the dissenter of any violence done to his conscience by pay- ment of the rate, would, not deprive the Church of her legal right. The antiquity of the Church rate is coeval with tithes, and dates from the Anglo-Saxon period. The Marquis of SALISBURY asked whether the right to Church-rates was de duced from the time of King CANUTE ? To which the Archdeacon replied, that he, believed the right to be coeval with the Common-Law obliga tion to provide for the maintenance of roads and bridges. This prescriptive right of the Church, however, has no weight with the dissenter ulterior object has been avowed, the accomplish- ment of which is sought for, simply through the separation of larch and State, and ipriation of the Church's property to secu- This is not merely a surmise, but a 4 3 g 7-, d that the Churchwardens should leave, one month beforb the levy of a rate, a notice at each rateable house, in order that any person ,objecting to it , upon religious scruples, might register his name as a dissenter, and thus claim exemption from the tax, and consequently be not entitled to a seat in the parish church, or any voice in the manage ment of parochial' affairs. He would still allow such, however, to command the services of the parish priest, to participate in the sacraments of the Church, and all other benefits belonging to a Churchman, except the privilege of a free seat, and a voice in the parochial management. This is surely toleration and considerateness broad and generous ; and yet, could the Church con sistently accord it, it would not, it is to be feared, be effective in allaying the present irritation on the subject, and removing any offence or stumbling-block in the dissenters' will feel convinced that it would not distinctly told so, indeed, by Mr. C. J We are FOSTER, the chairman of a " Society for the liberation of religion from State patronage and control," in evidence before this very Committee of the Lords. It would be better, with such avowals as are there given, if Church men would now fairly, stand up in defence of their principles, and boldly resist such designs of spoliation. It is a battle for a great Constitu- tional principle, and not for a mere money pay ment; nor yet one between a compulsory levy and a voluntary action. We do not see, therefore, why the Church should be called upon to sacrifice a right of property she holds by so ancient a legal tenure, on any such plea as that which has been put forth We believe, however, that the ventilation of this Church-rate question will remove much popular error on the subject, as well as rouse Churchmen from their lethargy into activity, and thereby terminate, not in a total abolition, but in a com- mutation, which will, at any rate for some time to come, settle a dispute which has been mainly raised by a party in Parliament, as a source of what is called political capital. It is not a subject for political party strife. It is ore involving very deeply high and anxious considerations of religion and justice, and deserves, therefore, in a national point of view, to be treated accordingly. RESUMING our remarks of yesterday, let us- ask, would it not be a strange thing if that uniformity in opinion and practice which most of us have come to look upon as the dream of a past age— which the iron hand of authority, ecclesiastical and civil, has been unable to preserve ; and which in Italy itself gives signs of weakness and disso lution—would it not be strange if the mobocracy of England thought to realise this worn-out hope of concentrated power ? • Yet this is the meaning of the recent violence in the parish of St. George's-in-the-East was the only intelligible purpose that elevated the demonstration above mere amusement or caprice, Despotism, without law or against law, aims at coercing the consciences of its subjects The mob in the same way, finding the law inade- quate or unsatisfactory, proceeds over and above it, or against it, to enforce its platform of cere monial religion upon the consciences or the pre- judices of an unwilling clergy and people But, we shall be told, the rule of the Church of England imposes uniformity ; and subscription to it implies the personal sacrifice of tastes and pre judices. Mob demonstration, therefore, in defence or assertion of Church of England uniformity, may be irregular, but cannot be charged as an oppression of the consciences, or an abridgment of the liberty, of Church of England men. It becomes the question, therefore, what is the fixed rule of the Church of England ; and, next, whether it is .really the idea of Church law in its possible that this may be so ; and that the completion of this work of spiritual . demolition, or substitution, is now seen fitly committing itself to the democratic power ; and as its most effec tual agent, using the voice of the mob. But the admission of all this does not affect our position nor the principles of religious liberty. It is clearly not . a question of law, but of the popular will ; it " what does precedent command," but SEPTEMBER 29, 1859. is not, " what, will the majority allow." This being the case, we have to say, that the sooner men become clearly alive to the fact, that it is idle to expect uniformity of opinion and practice in the Church of England, the better. The better, not only for those who are at present the persecuted, but for the persecutors themselves.. The Church of England has a great work to do. She has twenty or thirty thousand ministers to do it. Within certain liiMts, the mode of doing it, is left to their own zeal, their own estimation of the necessities of particular cases, nay, in some measure, to their own fancies and tastes. That work is, not the keeping up of sectarian hatreds, or sectarian boundaries, or sectarian watchwords; it is not the mere championship of a principle or an antipathy, whether on one side or the other;: it is not, primarily, the maintenance of a profes sion, much less the development of secular-reli- gious politics; but it is—simply the saving of souls, anct the ministration of GOD'S service among men. You cannot help those " differences of administration " which an Apostle tells us once marked a more visible dispensation of the spirit. Since the Reformation there have ever been- these differences of administration ; and men have always had, in times at least of life and zeal, their own ways of doing the one great work. What more can you say than that one school is assiduous and more exclusive in using the preaching, the other, the pastoral arm of the Church ? Perhaps each, in some measure, sup plies the other's, defect, where there is defect. If one is allowed to "hold up CHRIST to sinners" from the irregular pulpit of Exeter-Hall, shall not the other be allowed to take Him— —speaking with reverence—into the highways and byways, . - the thieving-ken and the brothel ? and to ad- minister Christian appliances by a more minute and constant system of " mission-chapels " and the like ? But it is intolerable that the mob should im press its own character upon the Church of England, and prescribe to - it its own prejudices ;is the main object of its existence,—and their assail with savage intolerance all that mars tha one or runs counter to the other The question, we maintain, is simply one of civil and religious liberty ; as such alone we desire in this place to argue it, but as such we argue it with confidence. NOTES OF THE DAY. The utter baselessness of most of the rumours that have been current within the last week or ten days is beginning to be acknowledged by the French Press, with which most of them' originated. Especially is there an anxiety manifested to contradict those reports which insinuated that there would be an obstruction to the solution of the Italian difficulty, occasioned by the desire which Louis Napoleon has to find a throne in Italy for his Imperial cousin, the Prince. " Such rumours," we are now gravely told, "need only be refuted in order of deprive them of every foundation." This conclusion is by no means clear. The rumours, or many of thew,- may have had little or no foundation; but a mere . denial of ahem in such quarters is not of itself by any means sufficient to prove it. One must not expect to be let into the Imperial. secrets of Louis Napoleon ; Yet one may, notwithstanding, draw one's own inferences -- one of which undoubtedly is, that his Majesty's scheming in Italian affairs has not, from the first, been devoid o 1 ambitious motives. The arrival in London, the day before yesterday, of an especial envoy from the Governor of British Colan' bia, on the subje( )f the boundary difficulty with the United States, will afford the I )ortunity for our )rovernment at once adopting dc sive measures to s unds opened with a dull appearance under the influence of the discussions resPecti boundary difficulty with thc -- United.

Eke nartkern Elmo THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER . 29, 1589 THE DAY'S NEWS At an annual allocution of the Sovereign Pon tiff, allusion wa§ made by the Pope to the censure • ny the National Itsserably of 8919 n 4 against the Papal Government. After regretting this circumstance, his Holiness expressed a hope that the people of the Romagna would speedily resume their allegiance to the Holy See. If an opinion is to be formed from the variety of rumours current on the Continent, particu larly in Paris, - the affairs of Italy do not seem to have made much progress in the way towards a settlement, far less towards a satis factory arrange ment of what is probably, for want of a better name, called Italiin independence. The difficulties of any permanent settlement being come to, are, it is generally believed, greatly exaggerated by the impression which evidently seems to weigh with the Emperor of the French, that he is fated to carve out and secure a place in which his nephew may found a dynasty. The more recent information afforded as to the misunderstanding between this country and the United States, furnishes good reason for believing that the dispute will riot .be of more than a tem porary nature, and that it will not , lead to any estrangement between the two countries eventually in The unhappy differences between m as t er an d i m n en a i s n trik th e e andef bu t i k ld e in l g att t e r r a , des, which resu lt e d the adoption of a somewhat kindred measure on the part of the former, seem now to be practically at end. Both sides appear to be tired of a contention which must h av e occasioned great i nconvenience The men a re —indeed he av y s acrifices—to both, Witho u t afford ing th e c h ance o f b ene fit to eith er . beginning to resume work, although a majority of the best classes of workmen yield to given before this committee by Mr. S. MoRLEY, a Lts, who dis netly states, that his ob. ections to rates, or any compulsory payments whatever to the Established Church, are not political alone, but also religious. He was asked by Lord PORTMAN, whether he considered tithes a compulsory pay- ment, in the same sense as rates, and his answer was, "I have been led to see a distinction between the two." In reply to the Bishop o f L on d on ' s _ _ piestiori Have . yeii not stated that it is the "view of Certain non-.conformists, that they ." regard Church Establishments altogether as " things which are injurious to religion ? " His reply was,—" Ido believe so." " And that ulti " mately," further asked the Bishop, " they may " hope in the extreme future to find an opportu nity of taking the property which is now " appropriated to the Establishment, and applying "it otherwise ? " To which he answered,—" This "" would certainly be the course of events, if they " shape themselves as no doubt many sanguine " minds are anticipating." Now we _have here, at least, a frank declaration of what the members of the miscellaneous denominations of dissenters desire ; and surely this should rouse all Church men from that torpor and supineness which have fallen upon them,—clergy and laity alike,—upon this subject. Archdeacon HALE having proposed to their Lordships that a commutation of the Church-rates should be thrown upon the owners of property, he was asked what he meant by this term. •" I -mean," he replied, " owners and long And this payment, he went on to explain, he would enforce by law—sanction it by an Act of Parliament, which, he thinks, would be passed, if the rights and claims of the Church were properly countenanced by high autho rity, and allowed to be justly followed up. This is one of the most practical prepositions made to meet the case. There are. other modes suggested, and one by Mr. SOTHERON Es.Tcou'RT. His Plan, as explained to the Lords 'Committee, is, I lessees the will and preference of the majority, which the quasi-religious mob are the solemnities of religious worship, a protest against the contravention of the Church's pre- scribed rule of worship, or against the contraven tion of popular tastes, and disregard of mob- supremacy ? Is it that noble Shibboleth of old, Nolu»zus leyes Anylice ,nutari " You . shall not adopt your own means of propagating religion, but you shall acquire y6tir System - from the custom which we have sanctioned, and indeed occasioned ?" Now—speaking as mere spectators, and not going beyond the facts of the case—it is clearly not a question of law, or Church prescription, that the mob have put so decisively to issue, for the very obvious reason that custom—whether rightly or wrongly, but still by the admission of all—has been allowed to override the written system of service in the Church of England ; and is, by the greater portion of that Church, consciously and intentionally maintained in the supremacy it has acquired. Nor are we going to question the expediency of this liberty to supersede, or violate, much of ecclesiastical precedent. No one pretends to say that the general run of ser vices in our churches exhausts or,—even to any great degree,—strives to fulfil the order laid down in the Prayer-book. We see prescribed in the Church's round of ritualism, an entire and compacted system, from which nothing can be more different than the custom of the great ma jority of our churches. Whether this system is justly obsolete,—whether the present age has found some adequate substitute,---whether any . increased and keener apprehension, contracted by , the spiritual sense of Englishmen throughout the last two hundred years, has been, by degrees, parting with ancient precedents, as it found them incumbrances,---and as it more and more culminates to its climax—as is seen, for instance, at the present day—its work of substitution or demolition naturally proceeds to the completion of itself, it is not our province to discuss. It iP the point in dispute,--.w hich appears, however, to be less one of boundary than of right to defend American citizens by military force on B, .sh territo Americans were becoming very lawless,--very col" temptuous of British rule ; and having subjected theme' selves to arrest by the British authorities, they had give the American Commander an opportunity of showing sympathy with his countrymen, which he knew would tell most popularly at home. Even this, however, in usk ' not be tolerated. If the island of San Juan is w ithin' the British dominions, there must be no usurpation of. authority, civil or military, on any pretence whatever!: and any such usurpatiorl that has already been halt recourse to, must immediately be redressed, The master-builders in London have hot yet bees brought to see the importance of withdrawing the ° b.- noxious "Declaration," which the workmen, not alto gether without reason, regard as tying them up ill manner inconsistent with that proper indepelid e b e : which, as Englishmen, they have a right to enjoy. '- masters are evidently encouraged in their persistence t° enforce the " Declaration" by the fact that it has already been taken by nearly 8,000 men. The very fact o f se large a body of workmen having returned to their dutiesf even in the face of such a document, affords evidelice, ;; the complete triumph which the masters have obtaineu and ought, we cannot but think, to satisfy them withorl':, carrying their opposition tothe popular wish any f artile ti _ As they have consented, however, to see another deP • tation on the subject, we must still hope that the dyer. ences will yet be amicably adjusted.
