BRAINTREE CHURCH-RATE.

The rule nisi granted by the Court of Queen's Bench
stays the proceedings of the Ecclesiastical Court until the
question of the validity of the rate has been determined,
not by a single Ecclesiastical Judge, but by the Judges of
the Queen's Bench ; and no proceeding to enforce that
rate can now be had until their judgment is given. The
is as follows :
the Queen's Bench, Friday, the 17th day of Novem-
ber; 1837, in the first year of Queen Victoria.—ln
the matter of a certain Suit for substraction of
Church-rate, promoted by Augustus Charles Volcy
and Thomas Joslin, against Joseph Davey Border, now
defending in the Consistorial and Episcopal Court of
London.
" Upon reading the affidavit of William Henry Ashurst,
gentleman, and another, it is ordered that Augustus Charles
Volcy and Thomas Joslin, in the said affidavit respectively
named, upon notice of this rule to be given to their procter,
and the Worshipful Stephen Lushington, Doctor of Laws,
Vicar-General and Official Principal of the Consistorial and
Episcopal Court of London, upon notice of this rule to be
given to him or his deputy, shall, upon Wednesday, the
twenty-second day of November inst., show cause why a
writ of prohibition should not issue to the Consistorial and
Episcopal Court of London, to prohibit the said Court
from further proceeding in the suit between the parties, and
.hat in the meantime proceedings be stayed.
" Upon the motion of Mr. Attorney-General.
" By the Court."

The following Address has been sent to Mr. John
Reid, late bookseller, Glasgow, from the Poles in the West
of Scotland :—Mr. John Reid being about to leave
Glasgow, we seize the opportunity of expressing our
gratitude for his valuable exertions on behalf of
our fellow-exiles and ourselves, during the time ha was
Secretary to the Polish Association here. It would be im-
possible for us to enumerate all that he has clone to promote
our interests in ill's country ; but suffice it to say, that our
cause has very few equally zealous and disinterested votaries,
whilst the Polish exiles have no better or a more sincere
friend than he is. IVe regret that circumstances oblige
Mr. John Reid to leave us, but we hope that the change
of residence will not affect his noble sentiments in the least,
and that he will ever remember his Polish friends.

The grand tragic melodrama of Walsha was per-
formed at the Victoria Theatre on Monday last, and was
rapturously received, notwithstanding the drawbacks ne-
ecssarily attendant on a first representation. The piece
has been performed every night during the week, and is
destined to run a long course of attraction.

ELECTION PETITIONS.—The Liberal Members
are not at all daunted at the preparations making by the
Tories for attacking their scats,—they have lost no time
in convening a Meeting- in London, for raising Subscriptions
for defence, and to detc:rnine which of the Tories they
shall assail ; they have retained Mr. Austin and Mr.
Roebuck, the late Member for Bath, as their Counsel, and
Sir Robert Sydney as their Parliamentary Agent : both
i • sicl;is are preparing in earnest for the conflict.
