been especially benefifted ; and, whether or not _ these
Trivileges have not led to confirmed abuses, and indolence
of a very serious character. Whether or not, the public
has received from this church an equitable and reasonable
exchange of spiritual wealth, for the temporal portion,
which has long been so heavy a drawback upon'the parish
exchequer. The endowment and other immunities before
.noticed, are doubtless intended by the original founders of
this church, as a perpetual blessing; but have they not, by
their continued abuse, almost, if not altogether, become a
reproach? About the year 1842, Puseyite or Traotarian
novelties became very fashionable amongst many of the
clergymen of the Established Church, some of whom have
subsequently gone over to the Church of Rome. It was.
therefore, determined upon to try experiments upon the
feelings of the people frequenting St. Paul's Church. by
the unwarrantable introduction of some of them. For=
this purpose, free benches, sittings, or portion of pews,
were pulled up in the nave of the church; the pulpit,
reading and clerk's desks were also removed. I believe
all this wrong was done, without the sanction of the
esteemed Bishop of the diocese, now his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, who was well known to be adverse
to such genuflections and gestuflections. These aggres
sions were committed without a faculty, dispensation, or,
in fact, any other competent ecclesiastical authority
whatever. The consent of the commissioners; in whom
' the freehold is Vested (2 Geo. 3, cap. 68, see. 9), was
never obtained. Certainly, :without, also, their order
es regards expenses, which cost above £5, the wardens
being restricted from expentlirg more than that sum in
repairs, &c. ; and, likewise,i without the order of the
commissioners, in writing, &c. (2 Geo. 3, cap. 68, sec. 40).
1 have no objections for persons to do what they please
with their own private property, but I confess that I have
very grave objections to have aggressions made upon the
rights of pew owners and parishioners, in a parish church
(for of such a character does this church partake) having
been principally built by means of a tax levied upon the
inhabitants (2 Geo. 111., cap. 68, sec. 12 and 13), and has
likewise to be kept in repair out of parochial rates (see.
39). Many of the congregation took offence at these n gel
and' unauthorised changes, and, in consequence, loft the
church. The Sunday and daily schools which had been
a very.nnessary adjunct to this church, and a great con-
venience to this populous neighbourhood, grade illy
relaxed -in the amount of subscriptions an 1 donations,
and finally became extinct t Respectfully, but earnestly,
theiefore, do I call for restitution and satisfaction from
the perpetrators of these illegal aggressions—whether
they be accessories before the fact, principals, or accom-
plices—for the injustice and mischief which I believe has
been thus inflicted upon the parish funds,a.nd also upon
what ou;ht :to be the parish church of a very populous
neighbourhood, and likewise for the injury, done to the
pew owners, whose property has since become useless by
the illegal introduction of the foregoing catamities. Let,
therefore, the parties who were guilty of these perversions
of a parish church and public funds to purposes they were
never intended, weigh these matters over very deliberately,
and consider whether they are not bound to render public
justice where it is due. Upon public gronnds I would there-
fore respectfully urge, that the enlarged district before no-
ticed should forthwith be assigned legally and absolutely
transferred to the clergy of St. Paul's, and similar tko St.
John's, as previously alluded to, or the original and en.
larged districts made collectively into a parish, under the
Marquis of Blandford's very recent act, passed July 29,
1855, and the rector thereby relieved from his present
obligation of the cure of souls over those people., And
further, let the necessary measures be immediately taken
to restore the Church of St. Paul, to its legitimate original
designs, not forgetting the re-establishment of the schools
'of a permanent character, the former school having
been lost, under the circumstances bofore noticed,
to this church especially, and to society generally.
There is a large population resident within this enlarged
district, between the line of the railway and eastward
towards Vauxhall road. The district being either legally
assigned collectively to the clergy of St. Paul's, or made
into a separate parish—it will then become the bounden
duty of these clergymen to endeavour, with God's
blessing, to promote the spiritual and eternal welfare of
their flock, without the intervention of Rector Campbell's
curate. And thereby " lengthen the cords, and strengthen
the stakes " of that long neglected branch of our national
Zion; that " wisdom and knowledge may be the stability
of our times." The children of the poor of this populous
locality might then be taught their duty to God and man,
in the national schools which I am particularly anxious
to be attached to St. Paul's, instead of the Akbar frigate
school reformatory—or schools within prison walls !
Although, I believe, the original manner of performing
divine service has been restored to its former simplicity
yet, I fear, that this church is still paying the heavy
penalty of these innovations. Retributive justice has at
last overtaken it, and visited heavy inflictions for the
continued abuse of temporalities and privileges, which
other less fortunate churches in this town do not enjoy, to
the same extent of liberality as St. Paul's. This agitation
has, however, been productive of some beneficial result.
The rector has, I am happy to hear, recently appointed a
curate, to minister to the spiritual necessities of the people
resident in the very populous enlarged district, thereby
practically admitting the principle for which this
" contumacilus, rebellious son of the church," has been so
long contending. Tteanking you for the space afforded
me, and deeply remtting the, circumstances that have
called forth this reply.—Yours, &c.,
WILLIAM ROBERTS.

church, and in the discharge as I considered, of a
kin; end indeed a bounden duty, to advert in very
li terms to the sadly neglected state and condition of
44'00, stating amongst other matters, that I believed
104°Ple, resident within the precincts of the district-
Was only " nominally ' assigned by the Lord
Sior? of the Diocese to the clergy of St. Paul's-still
ititlited with this defective arrangement, under the
po,'al care of the rectors of Liverpool, and that cerise-
Cr, the rectors had the cure of souls over the people
at within the limits of such enlarged district. This I
iied to be the case, and would so continue until such
s,t was legally transferred, or assigned over to the
of St. Paul's ; • and in like manner that a district has
vassigned, some few. years ago, to the clergy of St.
,8,,, a statement or which appeared in the report of
,'''lnols connected with that church for• the year 1852,
"'That a district has been assigned to St. John's
,2 by permission of the rectors of Liverpool, and
~ne sanction of the Bishop of Chester and the deed '
'Blgurnent lodged at St. John's ' I also argued, upon
°eeasion of such. previous meeting of the commis.
F'
Is.. that I thought something decisive ought to be
t,to remedy such a detective state of things as
ot`ellately existed at St. Paul's. I further expressed
l'
;e strong opinion that St. Paul's was sadly incorn-
14without , any schools of a permanent character in
lion
with it. I was, however, declared by the
Oan to be out of order; that neither the cure of the
s Or the people, nor the want of schools were matters
ts,,ilari any right to interfere with ; and finally, I was
kinoh.•l by the chairman in a very unceremonious' manner.
V' upon another subsequent meeting to pass the
mats-of St. Paul's, prior to the Easter Vestry in 1856,
S, once more urged the same general complaint, and
qod an amendment upon these accounts to the effect
t•
he same did not pass, and that an enquiry should
et wording
in the general economy of the church, &c. The
Lwording of the amendment will, no doubt, be found
record book of the procee sings of the commis-
This amendment was seconded by Mr. Johnson.thts occasion Rector Campbell was also irethe chair.
h
I„te newsper repot of the proceedings i:, is said,
,‘ the chairapman, inr reply to Mr. Johnson, stated-
-1 Point of fact, he had no spiritual control whatever
h.'t• Paul's church or district, and that no one
sr' more than he did the deserted benches con.
in that edifice, assuring those present that' if he
'Bed the power he would have been gad to see such
ate of things rectified." The substance of this
of the rector is quite fresh in the regollection of
Vinson, who seconded my amendment, as well also Mr.,
kin Gladstone, tvho was likewise' present on this
`°4 • Convinced,' however, that 1 was perfectly
hes• tn the view I had deliberately taken upon these
and feeling very deeply for the deplorable state
4,115 s so long existing at this church, and in my own
I,latej ne;ghboarhood, I therefore ventured once
,o'i,to attempt the rescue of this church from the repre•
thule and degraded condition into which it had sunk.
mOhs last meeting of the-commissioners, namely, prior to
ister of 1857, in consideration that this church was
tOlfilling the legitimate functions for which it was
,:ally erected and endowed, &c., Fence more brought
koil‘ta a similar amendment on the auditing of the
RI 1118, as that already noticed in 1856. I quoted upon
stit'eeasion, from the newspaper report of this last
Vued year, the reply of the rector to my amendment
1, under the impression that the rector had com-
-40 au. error in the substance of what he had previously
ile,`: at the meeting in 1856. I took advantage of the
rtaility thus afforded me, to fix the rector with the
isePst of rectorial surplice fees, payable to him at St.
titt; equally the same' as if the services were performed
ikiii. of the parish churches. I once more stated, that
IN 'ved he, (the rector) had care of the cure of
,14,,n,w the people resident within the. ihnits of this
tel district, contending that whilst the' rector was
toese of the rectorial ees at, St. Paul's; I telieved
kits 'npt rectorial rightsf were. also attached rectorial
kio over the people resident in this UNASSIGNED district.
I,ll4t°°k Occasion to express my surprise at the senti-
'iti ,enunciated by the rector at the meeting in 1356,
4p That, in point of fact, he had no spiritual control over
lAt,q,ul's Church or district," upon which the chairman
SI2, " but I deny positively' and solemnly that I ever
¶,y so." I at once, therefore, 'stood charged with
.SIT,-)ea, upon which I stated, "I am incapable of folse-
kie; and this will, I believe, be fully proved to be the
41,, let daresay all sort of evil things will be said of me
h'ioptin to vindicate myse from the chae of
suod made by the rector, but alf s frequently muchrggood
7,out of a mixture of good and evil, I mean to pro-lecute
linoiry upon public grounds, a little further. Now, I
k4t7,, e that several commissioners were present at the
14:1-leeting in 1857, who were also present at the former
‘eri„L'Bs6 ; and when the rev. chairman denied, in the
q"'solute terms, his connection "with St. Paul's Church

~ ' with great propriety, have risen to a point of
k, and refreshed the chairman's memory, that he did

4 ve acquitted me at once of the charge of falsehood,
'vlloN.tuutual explanation might then have takes plate,
,ttoh's honourable to both parties. I make this obser-
tl the". because I think some of the commissioners present
'tti meeting in 1857 had hardly forgotten the substance
I.totioit:eetor's reply to me in 1856. I was,. however, left

Total crop 2,930,000 against 3,524,000
I give the probable receipts this year, week by
week, against the actual receipts of last year, to
show the gradual falling off :—lt will be noticed
that during the past seven vit eks the receipts have
steadily declined, although the rivers and roads
have 'been in good order, and prices at the ports
being such that every inducement, to the planter
has been exerted to prompt him' to send'his crop
to market.• This fact leads to the conclusion, that
the falling off will continue. When. every letter'
from the Southera ports tells us that the inland
receiving points have ceased to get more in, and
the country is swept of Cotton, we come inevitably
to the conclusion, that the trade in this country
are looking in the wrong direction, if they expect
cheaper Cotton from the United States. The
quantity left for shipment is so small of merchant-
able Cotton, that traders will demand their own
price for it. Sand packed Cotton this year has
swelled the figures to 2,930,000, otherwise the
lowest estimates given at the beginning of the
season (2,7,50,000 to 2,800,000) would have proved
correct."

The same languid tone pervades tho cotton market.
Transactions are reduced to the most limited quantities ; and,
with plenty offering, prices are fully 1.16 d per lb lower than on
Friday last. The sales—including 50 Pernambucos, 8-7-0 to
8,7 ; 30 Bahia', 714 ; 120 Maranhams, 814 to Bad ; 500
Egyptians, nt to 11(1; 1,000 Swat, SFI to 5-p—ale

The Money Market was not so easy to-day, but
we cannot votive that stringency which was so ap-
parent last week. The rates at the Bank of
England have undergone no change, the Bank
directors having separated without altering the
minimum, and as it is expected that the Bank
returns tomorrow evening will show ayery favour-
able aspect dompared with that of the previous
week, there is an absence of any uneasiness.

active to-day, and prices are rather lower than on
yesterday. Consols for money were quoted at noon
at 938 to 931 and closed at the former figure, For
the account, the quotation in the earlier part of the
day was 931 to 931, closing at 931 to' 934. • The

Mr. A. Tredennick, of Old Broad street, London,
in his elaborate and valuable circular, issued last
evening, supplies us. with the following informa-
tion on Mining concerns :-
The markets for shares in British mines sympathise
with that for Railway and Government Stocks ; in fact, it
is extremely flat and inactive, and the prices of shares
generally have not been sustained. Alfred Consols hss
receded to 21, ex div. of 12s, yielding rather over 17 per
cent annually ; North Basset has fallen to 24, and heavy;
West Basset 31 to 32 ; South Cam Brea 6 ; North Frances
17 to 174 ; and, ender a forced sale by auction, were doi e
yesterday as low as 134 to 14 to 141. Buller and Basset
United, with improving prospects, 44 to 44 ; Margaret, to
which we have galled attention, after suddenly advancing
to 80 to 82, receded to 70 to 72k, and has since risen to
75-the prospects are very encouraging ; Great Vor 5* ;
Great Busy 54 are also fl eely offered. The companies
more generally supported, and possessing intrinsic merits
are-St. Ives Consols 160 to 170 ; Margery 16 to 17 ;
South Frances 330 ; Basset 270 ; Buller 360 to 370 ; Par
Consols 224 to 23,; Providence 85 to 871; Trelawney
241 to 25, div. of 20s next week ; Mary Ann 44 to 46 ;
Old Tolgas United 102 to 103 ' • Kitty 18 to 19 ; Great
Hewes 25, selling upwards of 1,200/ monthly, and increas-
ing the reserves. At South Gorland the report is satisfac7
tor y, yet the shares, 2,000 in number; stand only at 5, with
a balance in hand of 1,0004 The tvio-inenthly div. at
Dolcoath was 74 and the prospects are good ; we called
attention to this mine at the close of last year when the.
price Was 001 to 2101, it is now 340/ to 3501, and will
advance to 400/, the divs will also increase. At West
Seton the div. was 8/, with improving prospects ; Condur-
row div. of 41 is likely to be maintained, as the mine looks
well both for copper and tin,-this adventure is only yet in
