LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 13, 1837.

We have before us the copy or a Petition to Parliament
from the inhabitants of Rochdale, in the county of Lan-
caster, which displays the atrocious iniquity of the Church-
rate system in a light so striking, that we should consider
ourselves guilty of a dereliction of duty did we not lay
before the public the facts which it details.
Some time ago a meeting of the inhabitants of the above-
mentioned parish was duly called for the purpose of sanc-
tioning a Church-rate. The rate was objected to on the
several grounds, that after deducting the amount of certain
illegal expenses incurred by the former Churchwardens,
there was a sufficient sum in hand for all necessary pur-
poses ; that there were in the estimate brought forward by
the Churchwardens sundry charges which had no business
there—such, for instance, as 901. for a hearse, 201. for rent.
&c. &c. ; and that besides all this, there were arrears of
former rates uncollected sufficient to answer all the legiti-
mate purposes for which the new rate was demanded. An
amendment proposing to adjourn the consideration of the
rate to a future time was moved and carried, and this deci-
sion of the meeting was confirmed after a five days' poll,
by a majority of 147 votes.
Here, our readers will say, the proceedings surely ter-
minated—the rate-payers, legally assembled had refused
the rate, and there was an end of the matter. So thought
the people of Rochdale ; but, alas, they were grievously
mistaken ! They reckoned without their host. They had
to learn, from sad experience, that there are such things as
proctors, vicars-general, and consistorial courts. They
were bad boys, and a touch of the ecclesiastical rod, it was
thought, would be good for their refractory souls. Accord-
ingly, Messieurs the Churchwardens, met in full—no, not
in full conclave—but, nevertheless, they met, and by their
own authority made a rate for the full amount of their
estimate, and the rate thus made they got confirmed by the
Reverend and Worshipful HENRY RAIKES, Clerk, Master
of Arts, Vicar-General of the Right Reverend Father in
Gov, Jour; BIRD, by Divine permission, Lord Bishop of
CHESTER, and Official Principal of the Consistory and Epis-
copal Court of Chester. Citations were issued in due form
and, as may be supposed,without any unnecessary delay, and
half a d,zen of the defaulters were summoned to appear
before their spiritual " pastors and masters," to purge them-
selves of their heinous transgressions—some of which
amounted to the enormity of Bd. and 9d. sterling money of
Great Britain.

The parties cited appeared under protest, ar.d pleaded
that the proceedings were irregular, as only eight out of ten

Churchwardens were the promotors of the suits.

And

who does the reader suppose was the Judge that tried this
appeal ?' Some impartial person doubtless, qualified to do
j ustice between the contending parties. Oh ! na—that
would not have suited the purpose in view. The Judge
before whom this appeal was heard was the identical
HENRY RAIYES, Clerk, Vicar-General, &c. &c.; who had
previously confirmed the rate ! It is needless to say that
the protest was overruled by this righteous pluralist,
who united in his own person the functions of Judge,
Jury, and party concerned. The defendants appealed
against this sentence to the Supreme Court at York, and

applied to the Churchwardens for their consent to tr)

the appeal in (me only of the six cases, as the
other five cases would 'be governed by the decision in
the one selected for trial. This, it wilt be allowed, was
not a very unreasonable proposal, and had the object of the
Church authorities been justice, and not persecution, it

would have been assented to at once. But it was indig-
nantly rejected, and the whole six cases were removed to
Yo►k, and the processes introduced into the Ecclesiastical
Court there, at a great expense to the defendants. The
Chancellor of York, however, happening to know some-
thing of the law, sustained the protest of the defendants,

and decreed that the names of all the Churchwarden!

ought to have been used in the citations. This was the
law of the case ; and justice, as well as common sense, re-
qUired that those who were found in the wrong should have
borne the expense of their illegal proceedings. In the
Ecclesiastical Courts, however, the question of costs is not
one of law ; it, is left to the discretion of the Judge, who
in this case found nothing in his breast to plead for the
defendants. They had refused Church-rates—he refused
costs.

The Churchwardens having got so well out of this scrape,
immediately commenced proceedings de novo, issuing cita-
tions against the same parties, with the signatures of the ten
Churchwardens, though two of them protested in the

Court at Chester against the use of their names in a
proceeding of which. they entirely disapproved. That
Court, under these circumstances, dismissed the suits—
a;ain without costs ; and the prosecutors now, in their
turn, appealed to the Court at York, which reve.-scd the
decision of the Court at Chester. They then exhibited
their libel before the Ecclesiastical authorities at York,
and there the matter rests at present, without any chance
of a final
.settlement till it reaches the Court of King's
Bench.

If it is imagined, that during the course of these various
proceedings against the six individuals who appeared to
‘
the citations, the other inhabitants of Rochdale were ex-
empted from Churchwarden persecution—this we can only
say is a proof that those who think so are not acquainted
with the working of the Ecclesiastical system. We can as-
sure them that there there is no running over of the milk of
human kindness—no unnecessary expenditure of charity or
forbearance. We shall see that the opppressive suits in the
public Courts which we have detailed were only a portion
of the proceedings with which these worthies were harass-
ing the people of Rochdale. There was a little episode
enacting within the precincts of the parish, which is so per-
' fectly in keeping with the main action, and indeed tends so
much to illustrate the animus of tho Church, that it would
be a sin to omit it.

No sooner had the parochial authorities dragged the de-
fendants into the Court at Chester, than_ they issued war-
rants of distress against six other persons, who, relying on
the illegality of the rate, had not thought it necessary to
appear before the Magistrates, and a levy was made on
their goods. One of these persons, a man named MUMMY

was lying on his death-bed. 'tic kind-hearted Churchwar-
dens of Rochdale sent their agents into this man's housc,
to distrain his goods for the value.offmr-penee ; and these
ruffians, not content with taking articles of furniture to a
hu►idred times the value of the sum demanded, actually
ached the Family Bible, which had been in the family
nearly a century, and bore it off in triumph to their in-
human employers ! That they had been instructed to do
this there can be no doubt, for the Bible was sold by public
Auction at the instance of the Churchwai dons of Rochdale !
They no doubt thought that the Bible had something to do
,:itl► the refusal to pay Church-rates. They reasoned, that
if this man had never read his Bible, he never would have
found out that Christianity rejects the compulsory support
of the pocket, and requires the voluntary embrace of the
heart. Therefore it was, that their vengeance was di-
rected against the sacred volume. It may also have oc-
curred to them that a man, who had been in the habit of
reading the Bible all his life, might feel a pang at parting
with it, at the moment when it was most precious to him.
Now we ask any right thinking man, of whatever reli-
gious persuasion he may be, whether a system which gives
birth to such proceedings as those which we have been
stating, ought to cont;nue a day or an hour longer ? Is it
not the duty of every man who values the blessings of reli-
gion to exert himself to wipe away this reproach from a
Christian land, to stand up for the honour of the Christian
religion itself, against the unholy practices of those who are
thus under the garb of friends acting as its deadliest enemies?
It is ;it vain for the cold•hearted hypocrites who prate about
the connection of Church and State to attempt to say, that
the Church of England can be strengthened by a tax wrung
from the people by means co oppressive and cruel that
they shock and disgust every feeling of justice and humanity
in the breast of-man, No—such support as this is a source
of weakness, not of strength ; and if not removed in time,
it will assuredly soon make the whole Ecclesiastical edifice
totter to its fall.

Captain CHETWYND has given notice that he will move
to-night in the House of Commons that the SPEAKER
issue his warrant for a writ for the election of a Member of
Parliament for the borough of Stafford. Mr. DIVETT in-
tends to move as an amendment the suspension of the writ
till next session.
• •.

We think the Gallant Officer might have saved himself
all this trouble. He knows perfectly well that no writ
will ever again be issued for Stafford. That borough has
been found guilty of bribery to an extent unprecedented in
the history of corruption, It has been proved to be
rotten to the very core, and although that very
rottenness may be a sufficient reason for the great
anxiety displayed by the House of Lords to-prevent
its disfranchisement, by refusing to pass the Bill for that
purpose twice sent up by the Commons, yet they will not
gain their point here. They may, by their obstinacy,
prevent the Representation of some other unrepresented
place, and thus diminish by one the number of the Com-
mons—they can do Nothing more.

This evening Lord JOHN RUSSELL will bring before the
House the important question of a Poor Law for Ireland.
We are of course unacquainted with the plan which the
Noble Lord intends proposing as a remedy for wretched-
ness, we believe, without a parallel ; but whatever may be
its defects, if based upon the recommendations of the Poor
Law Commissioners—if it recognise the right of the starv-
ing poor to compulsory relief—it shall have our best sup-
port. A Poor Law so framed as to meet the wishes of all
parties is what we do not anticipate ; nor shall we be found
opposing any measure which, though defective in some
points, is nevertheless calculated to promote the social
happiness of the peasantry, and to increase the security
of life and property in Ireland. For the List seven years
has this Journal advocated unremittingly the right of the
poor of Ireland to the benefit of a sound and extensive sys-
tem of Poor Laws, as a protection against the tyranny of
absentee landlords and middlemen—and therefore it is
not without a degree of exultation that it invites attention
to a measure which promises to involve the happy termi-
nation of its labours. We will neither anticipate details,
nor attempt to reply to possible objections. Better oppor-
tunities for discussing both will shortly present themselves.
In the meantime we call upon the real friends of the Irish
poor to bestir themselves in behalf of their famishing fellow-
countrymen. Now is the time for generous exertion. By
1 bringing the question thus early in the Session before Parlia-
ment, the Government allows itself time to examine carefully
every suggestion that may be submitted to it, without en-
dangering the passing of some such measure as the one
now contemplated. The distressed state of Ireland is fully
admitted—the impossibility of the longer continuance of
this distress, without provoking an agrarian warfare, is
proved. Parliament has therefore only to deliberate upon
a remedy, and that it must now do without regard to the
cries of faction and self-interest. The well-being of Great
Britain imperatively calls for the speedy amelioration of
Irish misery.

Our readers will find, on reference to another part of
The Sun of this day, some account of an important public
meeting on the subjeot of " the revenues of the Welch
Church," which took place at Chester on Friday last. It
seems that the Commissioners who were appointed in 1835
to enquire into the state of the Ecclesiastical Establishment
in England and Wales, recommended in their Report that
" two new sees should be erected, and two old ones
abolished." This recommendation has been attended to,
and it is proposed, says the Rev. Mr. EVANS, " that after
the demise of one of the Bishops of North Wales, the two
sees of St. Asaph and Bangor shall be united, and the re-
venues devoted to episcopal purposes in England, which
of course contemplates the appropriation of a very large
portion of the Ecclesiastical revenues of North Wales
to objects unconnected with the Establishment as it ex-
ists in that country." We never heard of a proposal more
flagrantly unjust than this. Well may Welshmen be indig-
nant at it—well hold meetings throughout the. Principality,
and protest against it in the strongest terms possible ; for it is
neither more nor less than an act of spoliation--of direct
robbery, perpetrated by the powerful against the derence-
less, solely because the former think that the latter will be
able tb offer no effectual resistance. Wales, it is well
known, is a poor, rocky, thinly-peopled country ; and yet the
Church Commissioners seriously propose to impoverish her
still further, by depriving her of a large pottion. of her
Ecclesiastical revenues, in order to support a Bishop of
MANCHESTER—the most flourishing town in England, and
situated in the- heart of its most opulent county ! If
Lancashire languishes for a new Bishop, why not insist on
her paying for the luxury herself ?—Why compel poor
Wales to administer to her thirst for episcopacy ? The
thing is monstrous, and if the Welch do not rise, to a
man, in bold, determined, but. constitutional, opposition to
the proposal, we shall say that they richly de-
serve to be plundered. Mr. PARRY well ob-
served, " I am quite at a loss for- language to express
my abhorrence of such an act of preposterous injustice and
oppression towards my countrymen. I say it is an act of
dire spoliation ! It is robbery—sacrilegious robbery ! And
if the rich and opulent people of Manchester will conde-
scend to receive it, I can never look upon them in any
other light than as " receivers of stolen goods !" This is
forcible, stirring language, and. will, we are sure, be echoed
from one end of the Principality to another. The present
is a most important crisis in the history of the Welsh
Church Establishment. That Establishment—thanks to
the neglect of its pluralist, and non-resident, members—is
already in a state of decrepitude ; and".if this additi9nal
blow be given to it, it will perish at once, never again to
raise its head in the Principality. There is, therefore, not
a moment to be lost. The. Welsh must speak out ; and
what is more to the puipose, they must make their Parlia-
mentary representatives speak out also. , I

We are glad to find that Admiral ELLIOT, undismayed
by the result of the last election, or the disreputable tricks
of the old monopolizing party, has announced his intention
of again contesting the county of Roxburgh. In no
county in Scotland have those vile means, so well described
by Mr. HORSNIAN, been more resorted to than in that
county, now represented by Lord JOHN SCOTT, and now
canvassed by his relative, the Hon HENRY SCOTT, eldest
son of Lord POLWORTH ; and; we confidently believe that
the liberal electors are fully prepared to do their duty, I:nd
convince the county-mongering aristocracy that they are
determined not to be handed over like serfs to one
nobleman's son after another, to suit the views of the
Duke of BUCCLEUGH. The many struggles which the il-

lustrious house of ELLIOT has made for the inde-
pendence of that county—the protection which it was ever
ready to afford to men of liberal opinions against the
powerful influence of the old Tory electors—and the effi-
cient manner in which Roxburgh was represented during

that great contest which ended so triumphantly in extort-
ing the franchise from a miserable monopolising minority of
144, and conferring it 0n.1,260 electors—will not be for-
gotten. That great measure has• been followed up by the
present Government. No country in-the United Kingdom
has derived more benefit from the Whigs than ScotlamL
The Scotch people know that but fur them the crying
abuses in their burghs, and in the exercise of Church pa-
tronage, :would have remained undiminished, and that the
very men wl;orn the H, n. Mr. SCOTT would support, are
resolved to refuse further redress not only to them, but to
the people of the Sister Island, struggling now as the
Scotch long did for their rights and independence. Con-
sidering the character of the people, and the gratitude
which they have ever shown for the blessings of Reform,
when the trial comes, we have no fear for the result.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have been
received. M.M. TRIERS, ODILLON BARROT, MAOLTIN,
and GONNERON, succeeded on Thursday in effecting a
reconciliation between Marshal CLAUSEL and M. Du-
PIN. The testy President, after much per:nasion, was
pievailed open to decline returning an answer to the Mar-
slial's second communication, so that the affair is settled
after the most ridiculous fashion possible.
There arc rumours of a change in the Cabinet. SOULT,
it is said, has positively refused to accept office, save on
terms to which the KING will not listen. M. 'TITTERS is
therefore again in a fair way of being restored to the good
graces of Louis" PHILIPPE ; though, as will be rernorn,
bared, the EE-President of the Council stated in the
course of the debate on the Address to the Throne, that
he no longer entertained a hope of entering the Cabinet, yet
is he now regarded, even by the Court, as the best prop of
the tottering dynasty of Orleans.
Several individuals accused of participating in regicidal
plots were arrested on Thursday.
The Paris Court of Assizes has acquitted the Sieple of
the charge of libel preferred against it by the Government,
The verdict must have surprised the Proprietors of that
Journal, as it banteringly offered to pay: the fine the day
after it was seized, confident, no doubt, that sentence
would be given against it. The subject of the libel was an
article on the appanage demanded by Ministers for the main-
tenance of the Duke de .NEmoutts.

The Journal des Debats has a loan
article on the cap-
ture of the Vixen by Russia, the object of which is to prove
that if England submit to this aggression, the Treaty of
Adrianople will lead to results of which Western Europe
can hardly form a conception. The dominion of Russia in
the East will extend so rapidly as, in a short time, to peril
the existence of other States, now independent.

Letters from Bayonne of the 7th, San Sebastian of the
6th, and Bilboa of the 4th inst., have been received. The
Chiistina force pow north of the Ebro is said to amount to
upwards of sixty thousdknd effectiite troops; of which fourteen
thou:a►ndare at San Scbastian.The accounts fromßilboa state
that GOMEZ was arrested, and brought before a Council of
War at Durango, on the Ist inst. He was accused of at-
tempting to escape to France with a large share of the trea-
sure seized by his bands in Estremadura and Cordova. The
Guerilla Chief seemed greatly dispirited, and, after being
interrogated by Don CARLOS, was conveyed between two
files of musqueteers to the Castle of Guebara to await the
trial of a court-martial. We be t 3 observe that there is
not a word of this in the Bayonne correspondence, which is
of a date three days later.
There wirsoon be plenty of hard fighting in the Basques,
unless Don 6ARLOS sudden), quit the country. It is con-
fidently affirmed that .he meditates flight, seeing that his
cause is for the present hopeless, and that, if taken, effectual
measures will be adopted to prevent him from again kindling
the flames of civil war in the Peninsula.
The latest advices from Madrid are to the sth instant.
They contain no intelligence of importance. Serjeant GAR•
CIA (the hero of La Granja, as he is called,) has been ar-
rested Ly order of NIENDIZABAL, for personally insulting
him in his ministerial capae'ty. GARCIA had been recom-
mended by RODIL for preferment in the financial depart
went ; but asMENDIzABAL was in no haste to make out an
appointment for him, he dared to tell the Minister to his
face that he had been used in " a rasouhly manner." The
words were hardly out of his mouth when IMENDIZABAL or-
dered him into the custody of the guard, by whom he•was
conveyed to prison.

Brussels and Gorman Papers have been received. The
Alijerneine Zeilunj of the 6th inst., publishes a letter from
Constantinople, which states that before the receipt 0.
dispatches from London, Lord DURIIAM had not protested
in any manner against the capture of the Vixen on the Cir-
cassian coast.
M. BARANTE, the French Ambassador at St. Peters-
burgh, has addressed a letter to M. WEYER, the French
Vice-Consul at Moscow; to the effect that his Excellency
will insist upon justice Lein' done to the French Professor
about to be expelled tite Univcisity of Cason, by order of
the Russian Government.

Lisbon Papers to the sth inst. inclus:ve, have been re-
ceived. The Miguelite bands continue to commit great ex-
cesses in the interior of the kingdom. The capital was
tranquil, and the QUEEN in good health. A change in the
Cabinet was deemed unavoidable.

On Saturday, a well-dressed female, about 40 years
of age, and who is understood to have resided at ARAB,
near Wakefield, walked sonic miles upon the Doncaster-
road ; and when about a mile from Nostel, asked a person
how far she was from that place ; adding, " 0 dear, 1 think
I shall never be there." On arriving at the place, she
threw herself into the lake, by the Priory, and although
she was seen at the time, life was extinct before assistance
could be procured..—Hava E./press,

AYLESBURY-(THIS DAY•)

The Tory candidate for this county will not he allowed to
walk over the course as he anticipated. The Liberal party
have nominated Mr. Dashwood, who formally sat for Bucks,
and have pledged themselves to keep the vote open to the
last, and a severe run will be the result. The following hand-
bill was circulated throughout the county this morning, and
great excitement caused thereby. The Liberals are in
high spirits, and calculate upon the show of hands. Mr
Leader nominated, and Mr. Stone seconded the nomination.
ELECTORS OF BUCKS!

A Tory eandidatc has been named to represent you ; a candi-
date on the Liberal side will he offered to you, this day, at the
hustings !!I One party now monopolizes the representation
of the county ; it is for you to' decide whether you will in-
crease the
.power of that party by giving your votes to their
candidate, or whether you will assert your independence by
electing a man of Liberal political opinions. Considering it
an imperative duty not to allow the liberal portion of the
county constituency to remain as it now is, totally unrepre-
sented, without publicly protesting against the evil, or attempt-
ing to remove it, we Lave determined to nominate •
GEORGE HENRY DASHWOOD, Esq.,

- .
Of West Wycombe Park, as a fit and proper person to repre-
sent you in Parliament.
We confidently expect that you will do your duty as Inde•
pendent Men, and show your gratitude to him for his exer-
tions in your cause, by making every effort in your power to
place him once more in the House of Commons, as the Liberal'
Member for Bucks,

CORN EXCHANGE...
The arrivals of both Grain and Flour in the past week were
moderate, and transactions in the trade were to a limited ex-
tent at no variation in prices. This morning. the fresh supply
of all sorts of Corn was again short. In consequence of the
small quantity of fine dry Wheat for sale, it obtained Is. per
quarter advance on last Monday's prices, but other qualities
remain as last quoted. Barley and malt continue to meet 4
very heavy sale, and hardly maintain the toms of last Mon-
day. Beans sell slowly, at no alteration in value. Peas of
both kinds are rather cheaper. For good Qats the demand is
fair, and the prices firm other desoriptions experience a dUll
sale. In the Flour trade there is little doing at the previous
Monday's rates,

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET.—Feb. 11.
We had a fair supply of Wheat both from the country and
coastways at this day's market, which was taken off slowly at
similar rates to last Saturday. Barley was in very limited
demand at our quotations. The supply of Oats was good,
and the sale brisk, at last week's prices. Malt barely supports
our quotations. The supplies of Rye continue large, and prices
are again Is. per quarter lower. There is little passing in
Beans or Peas. The arrivals of Flour, particularly from Nor-
folk and, Suffolk, are abundant, and the sale is slow at our qua
tations.

THE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are, two French, two Ostend,
the Hollaud and Hamburg mails, a Lisbon mail by the Ecpoir
—sailed Feb. 5, and a mail from Mexico by the Hope,
sailed from Vera Cruz Dec. 23 ; Havannah 11th Jan. ; ship
letters from Berbice and Madeira.

The mail from Mexico brings accounts of a counter revolu-
tion against the Government having been discovered. This
information we had previously received by the late arrival of
the American papers.
The Dutch papers state that the Netherland Trading Com-
pany intend further to increase their capital by raising a loan
of 12 millions of florins.
