Archdeacon GLOVER—But you hare the property
and ought to pay for it.
Mr. CHILDS—If the Methodists should notify to
you, sir, that they had apportioned a pew to your
use in their chapel, and required your share of their
expenses, you would probably understand better the
bearings of the question.
Mr. COOKESLEY—But, Mr. Childs, you have a
right to the pew, although you may not use it.
Mr. CIIILDS-I may, Sir, have a freehold in the
moon, but as I neither recognise nor use it, I am not
willing to pay rates for it.
The rate was then granted, and on the assessment
being passed round for signature, Mr. C. Childs stated
that he must then exercise his right of carefully examin
ing it, unless the Churchwardens would pledge them-
selves to allow him hereafter to examine it at reasonable
times. This had been refused last year, most impro-
perly and illegally.
Mr. W. Cocx (a parishioner)—How do you suppose
a rate would ever be collected, if every one had a right
to examine it 2

Mr. C. CHlLDS—Exactly as the poor-rate is collected,
which the overseers arc bound, under a M. penalty, to
allow every parishioner to inspect as long and as often
as be will.

Mr. COOKESLEY-But would you, Mr. Childs, have
paid the rate, had you been allowed to see it ?
Mr. CHlLDS—Certainly not, Sir ; but I should have
defeated it with greater facility.
Ultimately the required pledge was given, and the
Vestry was dissolved.

ENTABLE ACCIDENT OA
THE THAMES.

(From the
During Friday and yesterday the greatest excitement
has prevailed at the west end of the metropolis in conse-
quence of several accidents having occurred on the river
Thames on the night of Thursday last, in which it is as-
serted no less than eleven individuals have lost their lives.
From inquiries made by our reporter, we understand that,
shortly after I I o'clock on Thursday night, loud cries for
" Help !" being heard by the watermen residing at Chels:a
Reach, one named Waight, accompanied by another per-
son, immediately put off in a boat, and on rowing into the
centre of the stream, below Battersea-bridge, found a
wherry bottom upwards, and two persons clinging to it,
whom they instantly conveyed to the Magpie public
house, where they stated their names to be Heath
and Barthe. They had not, however, been long
rescued before fresh cries of " Help I" were
heard proceeding from the direction of the Red House and
on Waight and other persons again taking to their boats,
they saw a gentleman struggling and buffetting with the
stream, who ultimately got on shore on the Surrey side
They immediately pulled in after him, and conveyed him
to the Red House Tavern, where, when sufficiently re-
covered, he stated that hia name was Latham, and that he
had been up the river in the early part of the evening in a
wherry with Mr. Henry Rush, son of the Rev. John
Rush, vicar of Chelsea Old Church, and Mr. R. W.
Fry of the Chancery Register Office, and son of George
Fry, Esq., of St. James's-place, St. James's-street,
residing at Notting-hill, both of whom he had every rea-
son to believe were drowned. A number of men were in con-
sequence employed from daylight on Friday morning in drag-
ging that portion of the river, when about three o'clock
the body of a gentleman named Graham, belonging to
the Ordnance Office, who had also been drowned, was
picked up near the Red House, as was shortly afterwaids
that of Mr. Rush, both of which were conveyed to that
tavern.
