LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1837.

We are not without hope that some substantial
good may arise out of Mr. Rotßuck's motion on the
4‘ State of the Nation," which comes on to-night in
the House of Commons. We conjecture from the
circumstance of this motion having owed its origin to
the extraordinary division which took place on the
Church-rate question, that the Hon. Member for Bath
intends to direct public attention to the state of our do-
mestic political relations, rather than to embrace the wide
range of discussion which might be included within
the comprehensive terms which he has adopted. This
is beyond all question the most important branch
of the subject, and we think that Mr. ROEBUCK
is well qualified to do it justice. We may expect a
searching, if not a merciless exposure of the base sel-
fishness which is and ever has been the ruling prin-
ciple of that faction, which is equally opposed to the
wishes of the nation, and to the spirit of the age.
We anticipate a well wrought contrast between
the flattering hopes that were inspired by the passing
of the Reform Bill, and the meagre realization of
those hopes which the experience of five years has
produced. The causes of this slow progress in the great
work of national improvement, though they may be ulti-
mately traced to one great source, are various, and will
afford the Hon. Gentleman an opportunity of exhibiting
his peculiar powers to advantage. Knowing that Mr.
ROEBUCK'S political opinions tend rather towards an
extreme, we arc prepared for the application of a consi-
rablc share of condemnation to the measures of the
Whig, Administration.

Passive resistance is the most potent engine ever di-
rected by the people against the collection of an unjust
impost. It destroyed the tithe system in Ireland, in
spite of the presence of twenty thousand bayonets--
backed by a legion of Parsons, Proctors, and Crown
Prosecutors ; and it is now in a fair way of being or-
ganized in England, for the destruction of Church-
rates. Let the Tories look well to the conse-
quences of forcing the people of England to
become familiar with the application of a power,
which Sir ROBERT PEEL denounced in the House
of Commons as a monster too strong for the Exe.
cutive Government of this country. We copy from
our Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser of to-day,
the following letter from a correspondent at Enfield,
giving an account of an attempt at a sale of goods for
Church-rates in that neighbourhood, to which we beg
to direct the attention of -the house of Lords. If
its perusal edify them, we can only say that lordly
feelings and Christian feelings are the very reverse
of each other. For their own sakes, therefore, we
warn them of the consequences of forcing the people
to assume an attitude which will enable them without
risk to bid defiance to the operation of any law which
they may regard as oppressive. The writer of the an-
nexed letter seems a pleasant fellow ; but if the facts
stated by him be correct, the Church will soon have
cause to repent having given occasion to any merri-
ment upon the subject :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
Sir,---The Times of this morning states, that at a Vestry
held at Epping, a church-rate was made, by a majority of
133 to 94. Will you allow me to state, through the me-
dium of your columns, what took place yesterday afternoon,
at Enfield, Middlesex, relative to Church-rates, and of which
I was an eye-witness. My attention was arrested by the
sound of the bell of the parish bellman, and subsequently
by the voice of the beadle, proclaiming different articles for
sale, at the cage, near the Greyhound ; and as they pre-
sented a novel appearance in such a situation, and with
such an auctioneer, I was induced to inquire the cause of
their being sold, and was informed that they had been
seized for Church-rates. The first article put up for public
competition, was an apparently new copper coal-scuttle,
and the bystanders, who were very numerous, were most
earnestly requested to name a price for the article,
when a simultaneous shout arose of "We won't have
them at any price ; we will not purchase stolen goods."
In vain was Mr. A. and Mr. B. requested not to
interrupt public business, and also informed that they were
sold under the sanction of an Act of Parliament ; the men
to be coaxed into a bid-
