LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, _APRIL 1, 1537.

AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the " DEPU
TIES from the several CONGREGATIONS of PRO
TESTANT DISSENTERS of the three denominations,
bvterian, Independent, and Baptist, in and within twe:ve mils*
Condon, appointed to protect their Civil Rights," held at tl:
King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry, on Wednesday, the '..)9th ea.
of March, 1837; •
HENRY WA YMIJUTH, Esq., in the Chair;
It was Resolved—
, That the Members of this Deputation express their sincere satin
faction with the measure introduced into Parliament by the Chan
cellos of the Exchequer for the abolition of Church-rates, whereto
that tax, unjust in its principle towards the Dissente.s; will'in fu-
sure be defrayed from an improved income to be derived fron.
Church-lands, and thus relieve all classes of his Majesty's sub
jects. They hail this proceeding as tending to restore peace an,'
harmony among neighbours and fellow-Christians, and as extin-
guishing the oppression, by which, to a great extent, the col-
lection of this impost is attended. On the contrary, shout'
this healing proposition be rejected, they cannot but fear the in-
creased animosity end heart-burnings, which will unavoidably arise
throughout the country. That they tender their sincere thanks t'
his Majesty's Ministers for this renewed instance of their desire to
redress the grievances of Protestant Dissenters, and to extend the
enjoyment of civil and religious freedam—the basis on which his
Majesty's present Government is founded. That they cordialls
offer their best thanks to the enlightened Members of the ,Honso (it
Commons who supported the measure introduced by his Majesty':
llinisters, and they confidently hope that the majority by which it
was carried, will not only be continued but increased in its future
progress. That while they congratulate the great body of the Dis-
senters of this country on the recognition by the- House of Commons
of a principle which must eventually secure the abolition of Church-
rates, they call upon their friends to advance the progress of this
measure, by the presentation of petitions to the Legislators —by re-
yeesting their representatives to support them in Parliament, and by
he use of every other legal and constitutional
