ST. GEORGE'S (SOUTHWAK) CHURCH-RATES.
—A most numerous vestry of the inhabitants of this parish
assembled in the Vestry-room on Friday last, pursuant to
note, to nominate four householders, to be chosen by the
Justices of the Peace, as overseers for the ensuing year ;
also to declare a rate in lieu of tithes. Mr. Hewitt having
taken the Chair, the minutes of the last meeting were read.
A letter from Mr. Booth, Secretary to the Poor-law Corn
missioners, in reply to a remonstrance from the parish
concerning the erection of a new workhouse, was also read.
The letter stated that the Commissioners had given their
sanction to the progress of the work before they received
any application from the parish. A long and irregular
discussion here took place, Mr. Day complaining that the
money required for the furtherance of the work have been
borrowed at so high a premium as five per cent. Messrs.
Bedford, Day, Saunders, and Matthews were then nomi-
nated to be submitted to the Justices of the Peace. Mr.
Griffith moved a twopenny rate for the coming year. Mr.
Day rose to propose an amendment ; he explained the pe-
culiar circumstances of the parish. The late rector was now
six months dead, and his successor had not us yet been ap-
pointed. It was monstrous to be called upon to vote a stipend
to a rector when there was actually no rector in existence. He
was opposed to Church-rates upon principle, and he thought
this a fitting opportunity for tho parish to exhibit its dis-
approval of the impost. He would, therefore, persist in
moving that no rate be declared. IF the Tories had al-
lowed the good intentions of her Majesty's Ministers to
take effect in the last session, such opposition might have
been obviated.—(Hear, hear.) In reply to an observation
from Mr. Arrowsmith, to the effect that they would subject
themselves to a fine of 5001. if they did not appoint a
rate, Mr. Day said that the power of enforcing the fine
rested with the rector, and while they were without a
rector that objection could not hold good. Mr. Grafty (late
churchwarden) declared that he would willingly pay his por-
tion of any fine, rather than submit to so unjust an infliction.
He was aware the same feeling pervaded the majority of the
meeting.—( Hear.) Mr. Day asked for the production of
the auditors' books of the last year. Considerable merri
ment was created by the reading of some of the items-
-121. Is. was charged for wine, and 91. 2s. for the washing.
Of surplices ; the latter charge was particularly objected to,
inasmuch as it had not received the sanction of the vestry
of last year. Here the discussion assumed a theological
character. Mr. Grafty read an extract from the Canons of
the Church concerning the " casting out of devils." Mr.
Black referred to an authority at Oxford so long ago as
the reign of James 11., in support of the antiquity of the
doctrine. The Chairman, in explanation, read several
chapters from the Old Testament. Mr. Day's amendment
was ultimately put and carried amid the cheers of the meet-
ing, only four voices dissenting, including the Chairman.
A great improvement has just beet effected in the
Jacquard loom, by which all the weights are dispettaed
with, and steam-power As used tq work thg 7i,aellinory. By
this new machine, ‘ilka of any re'.itern, of super;or texture
tq the Vreneb, and Qf the most even fabric, can be made
by oh;ildreu or WOMCP. Springs are used to regulate the
yard-bow! .7..ithout reference to its diameter, and by a simple
and ingenious contrivance, the yarn and cloth beams can be
linstantly stopped, should the weft break. .11lack6urw
