GRAND DEMONSTRATION IN FA-
VOUR OF THE FIVE CHURCH-RATE VIC-
GAOL, ON THEIR LIBERATION FROM

. - Talmo, Arnie 27.
(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. )
, (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.)
/ he Ihe C 11Alumate (Mr. Stokes) next proposed the
a th of the conscientious Church-rate opponents who
had recently suffered the loss of their property. Those
Persons were not few ; there were many is this borough
Who had sacrificed their property to their principles.
He would give the healths of all, particularly of Mr.
Poole; Mr. Lawry, and Mr. Tonkin, who had been the
12°8t recently distrained upon.—(Loud cheers.) Un-
fortunately, Truro was not the only place where the
lame system was in operation. He saw by The Sun
ttl the preceding day, that in one place the " harpies of
a 'Church had seized upon a mahogany and an oak
table for 11 id., and in another they had taken 15 bushels
of oats for a claim of 2s. I d..--.( Loud cries of " Shame,
1114raa.") The Hon. Gentleman concluded by giving
the haalths of those who had suffered, and the toast
Was welcomed by the most vociferous cheering.
th'Mr. POOLE on the part of the individuals named in
a last toast returned thanks, and noticed at consider-
jable length, some of the religious, moral, and legal ob-
ections to the exaction of Church-rates. There were
all sorts of objections for all kinds of men ; and how bad,
therefore, must such a system be to which there were
"Posed such a number of objections.--(Cheers.) He
pas much gratified to see such a meeting as this.
Already they had seen great alterations in th Church,
and its discipline. Such assemblies as that which had
yet to-day would effect more. Formerly the Church
used to put those opposed to it in towers, and confine
them for their lives chained to the walls. They had a
cell called Little Ease, in which they used to place
recusants, where they could neither sit down nor stand
up. nor put themselves in any posture by which they
could be relieved. The times had changed and so had
7a.---(Loud cheers.) They did not now slink home
from prison, but a whole city went out to meet the
sbufferers -- (Continued cheering) —.and they were
, 'Ought home in triumph, and a meeting like this was
Ofeld, to show them that we only think none the worse
Of them, but that we esteem them the more highly.--
(Cheers.) It was most gratifying to see such unanimity
sPrevail,trato
n for it was quite impossible that such a demon-
lasting _mild be made without producing great and
effect a.--(Cheers.)
on Rb.ehMalifchocfll,tl!bfho has taken, a very active part
given them all the weiwr
lears, and who has consequently
standing in society, herge eand influence of his superior
ceived with three rounds onf ered the room, and was re-
The
applause.
CHAIRMAN then gave " The opponents of
Church-rates who have honoured us with their company
to-day, and thanks to them
for their presence."—
(Cheers.) They certainly had been hard, erhas not
too hard, upon those who were not
opponentsp of Chp urch-
rates ; but there might be persons
mho sincerely thought
that
t it was necessary that there should be an Establish-
meat maintained by the public at large. They should
hive them full credit for their sincerity, much as they
1 ht think it a perversion of judgment.—(Cheers.)
at!e7 Wished to deny to no man the right of freedom of
n,is„lninn--they only wished to prevent other men's ow-
hra from interfering with, or violating their principles.
Lia Would give them " Mr. Colenso, and all others who
,7 come from a distance to do honour to the cause on
this occasion."—(Loud cheers.)
.Mr. COLRNSO, of Penzance, rose, and was greeted
/tlth renewed cheering. He claimed their indulgence
Oa
account of his infirm health, while he adverted to one
zr two, matters of interest. He felt highly honoured by
°t°3 Permitted to associate with them this day ; it was
the
highest pleasure be experienced to meet those who
were espousing liberal sentiments, especially where

he
aav, anything like priestly intolerance, or where
keud the cry of oppression.--(Cheers.) They had heard
a great deal of late about the efficiency of .01 the este-
!Ailments in this country. The Ministers, when they
introduced the Speech from the Throne, talked about
the efficiency of the Church. They all knew that that
Church had been long efficient for evil, but as to its
er. c'ency in other respects, they knew very little about
labL"d cheers.) Then they had heard a great deal
a_
ce , the efficiency of the army, and he was proud to
novvledge their superiority r but Wellington, with
his hundred thousand men, was never so proud
as he (Mr. C.) was to-day, when marching at the head
of the victims of an oppressing Church.—(Cheers.)
Much had been said of late about Church and State.
The Establishment was using all its art to associate
within its walls all the influence it could. It made its
attacks on Popery and Dissent, but he saw very little
difference between Popery abroad and Protestantism at
home.—(Cheers.) They had asserted to-day a noble
Principle, and they had made a demonstration that he
should never forget ; but it must not be allowed to
remain where it was. He would beg, as an old Re-
former, to recommend to them that they should form
some kind of nucleus, to lay a foundation for their
future proceedings, so as to convince the Tories abroad
that they were determined to carry their point.—( Cheers.)
Mr. Colenso then related several instances of clerical
rapacity in his own neighbourhood, and stated that they
had got rid of Church-rates in his parish for about
five years ; but now they had a new Vicar, who, taking
courage from what had occurred at Truro, threatened
to make an attempt to obtain a rate. This gentleman
had actually had a quarrel with the friends of the former
parson, about the question as to whether be had died a
few minutes before or after 12, because it appeared, that
if the former incumbent had died before 12 the present
spiritual guide would be entitled to the receipt of 355.
more than he would otherwise receive. After a great
deal of trouble and inquiry of the relatives and friends
of the deceased, he discoveret,l, and he thereby gainedthat the death had oc-
curred a tow minutes before i,
the 335. on a salary of several
.hundreds a year. The
A t occasion that he admin:stered
mime parson, on the ..rs .
the sacrament, put a piece of gold into the plate, in
order to induce the recipients of the communion to be
more than usually liberal. The money was collected,
a 4,1 .I placed before him and the churchwarden. The
clergyman immediately took the plate and gathered the
money into his hand, and then put
it into his pocket, re-
marking that as he had just come into the parish he was
going round to see his poor parishioners, and was de-
termined to make some liberal gifts, towards which the
money then collected would be very useful. He had
it from the best authority, that from that day to this
not a single poor person from ono endd

Mr. Colenso spoke of the pleasure he felt in seeing so

nuerty, and he urged them to go on and a

The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Committee,"
for what
whose exertions they were so much indebted
had been done since the prosecution.—(Chee
Mr. Teatime and Mr. E. DAVEY returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN said, in connection with the last
toast be could not help giving the Chairman ofthat
Committee the respected gentleman who was to have
Presided to-day, " Mr. Robert Michell"—(Long con•
tioued cheering)--a gentleman whose name and whose
ability added character to whatever undertaking he
alight be engaged in. He would give his health with
_three times three, being assured that they would most
cordially : respond to it.—The toast was most raptur-
ously applauded.
Mr, MICHELL said he could not sufficiently express
the obligations they had laid him under in drinking his
health in the manner they had done. It was a compli-
ment to which he never aspired. He had been willing
at all times to do every thing to promote the cause of
civil and religious liberty that was in his power. He
!lad Presided at one of their meetings, and it was rather
Incumbent upon him to state the result of that meeting,
and he should do it with some regret. That meeting
was i held, and agreed to a memorial, which was numer-
"
Gtt ligned, and sent to Lord John Russell. No
answer had been given to that memorial.—(Hear.)
But he had other communications to make to them,
which perhaps might be more satisfactory, and which he

had received while acting in another capacity, as their
Treasurer. He had three or four documents to show
them that their cause had been contemplated in different
parts of the country in a way which was highly
gratifying.—(Hear, and cheers.) He had received
a copy of an advertisement, with the Lyme post-
mark upon it, copied from the Western Times, in which
the person who interested himself was trying to raise
_ .

subscriptions on behalf of the causi of Mr. Barrett and
the other defendants. That proved that they had taken
it up with some warmth.—(Cheets.) He had also a
communication from Mr. F. W. Geake, of St. Colamb,
who sent 5/. towards the fund.—(Loud cheers.) Mr.
Michell then read a document that he had received con-
taining a history of the weathercock life of Baron Gur-
ney, which afforded some amusement, but which need
not be repeated here, as most of the readers of The Sun
are well acquainted with his history, and concluded by
stating that he would do everything in his power to pro-
mote the object that they had in view.—(Cheers.)
The CUAIRMAN next gave "the Friends who had so
activel.y exerted themselves in obtaining funds to bear
pecuniarly harmless the defendants in the late prosecu-
tion, particularly Mr. Dogood and Mr. L. Latimer."—
(Cheers.) The expenses in that prosecution were ex-
ceedingly heavy, and by exertion they would no doubt
be raised, and thus, as far as their pockets went,
the defendants would not be sufferers, though
it would be impossiale to compensate them for
being dragged from their homes and incarcerated

in a gaol for a month to the injury of their busi-
ness and the distress of their wives and families. The
defendants must at first have felt deeply, till they came
to reflect that they were rioters by a fiction of law, and
not in public opinion.—(Cheers.)
Mr. H. T. DOOGOOD congratulated those whom he
saw around him, and he also congratulated the defend-
ants, whom he had known a long time, on their return
from prison. He should honour them much more than
he had ever done ; he should always revere them as
martyrs in this religious crusade.—(Loud cheers.) He
knew very well the effect which all these proceedings
would have upon the opposite party. He took occasion
to observe some time ago, that that party had seen the
necessity of endeavouring to make a compromise in the
parish of St. Mary, if they could ; because instead of
having some seven or eight persons to contend against
there were now nearer seventy or eighty. They
could not keep up perpetual war in the
parish of St. Mary. They had contemplated the pro-
ceedings of to-day with very great hatred and with
fear ; they had said that there would not be 40 persons
to dine.—(Laughter.) They had said that the bringing
in our friends publicly would be a failure, and they had
endeavoured to persuade our friends not to allow them-
selves to be brought in triumph, having resorted to
forgery to effect their purpose.—(Hear, hear.) They
had actually forged the name of our friend, Mr. Sylva-
nus James (a Quaker), in a letter to Mr. Edwards,
to induce him and his companions not to come home
together, or to make a public entry into the town.—
(Hear, hear.—Mr. Doogood here read the forged let-
ter to which he referred, which, of course, excited much
indignation.) What were they to conclude when they
saw such a letter as that sent to the defendants ? The
Tories were afraid of the effect of this demonstration
causing the abolition of Church rates in this borough,
and making a powerful impression throughout the king-
dom.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Doogood then went on to
show that there was no doubt that the prosecution had
been paid for by the Tories as a party, and concluded
by urging that the subscription on behalf of the parties
should be continued till the whole amount of the ex-
penses incurred in their defence was raised.
Mr. T. LATIMER remarked that his occupations
would not permit him to do more than to call the atten-
tion of the meeting to what had been done since the
last. Ha looked upon the recent prosecution as one of
a most disgraceful character, inasmuch as it was not com-
menced by the party for the purpose of punishing men for
breaking the law, but for the purpose of putting down a
formidable opposition to a tax which was unjust in its
nature, and peculiarly vexatious to many of the parties on
whom it was levied. Entertaining these opinions he had
taken a warm interest in the struggle that was now going
on, and he would read to them some communications which
he received from different parts of the country, in hearing
which they would feel highly gratified. His accounts from
the several towns in Cornwall were very satisfactory, and
he believed much money would be raised. Edward
Baines, Esq., M. P. had sent 1/. ; Thomas Wilson, Esq.,
of London, bl.; and Carteret J. W. Ellis, Esq., had also
sent 51. with a letter, which, coming as it did from a
Churchman connected with the county, was extremely im-
portant. The following is the letter referred to
:
Reform-Club, London, April 22, 1839.
" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your lctterof the 20th inst. on behalf of Messrs. Barrett,
Edwards, Randall, Spur, and Ball, and cheerfully re-
sponding to the appeal, I enclose you five pounds for the
fund intended to bear pecuniarily harmless the sufferers by
the late most harsh and ill-timed sentence. .

" The bigoted adherents of the illiberal and unjust
impost of Church-rates mnst eventually discover that their
absurd efforts against a bold, steady, and unbending expres-
sion of public opinion, will prove as futile as an attempt to
turn the tide of the Atlantic; and, however tardily, the
conviction will be forced upon them, that whilst persecution
makes martyrs, it never establishes a truth. —(Cheers. )
" As a member of the Church of England, I deeply
regret that noli me tangere spirit of anti-Reform amongst
its Ministers and disciples, which brings down heavy and
indiscriminate odium on the system and its adherents ;
and I am heartily desirous that the friends of liberty of
conscience Should not slacken in their efforts to benefit the
cause of true religion, by abating- this ecclesiastical nui-
sance of Church-rates.
" I have the honour, &c.
CARTERET J. W. ELLIS."
The seeding of this letter elicited tremendous cheers,
which were again and again repeated. Mr. Latimer
also read the valuable letter from Mr. Tooke, already
published, and a letter from Mr. Turner, M.P., who
declined to subscribe. This last letter excited great
disapprobation. He also read another letter from Mr.
Turner to Mr. Michell, in which the Hon. Member stated
his regret that the defendants did not accept the terms of
his offer in a mediation that he had tried to effect between
the parties, but which the defendants declined because they
considered that it would be a confession of guilt which they
would never acknowledge by any act of their own. This
letter was also very much hissed, on which
Mr. COLENSO rose and said if he had known that this
was a meeting of Mr. Tooke's friends, and not of friends
to the cause of religious liberty, unconnected with party,
he would not have attended the meeting.
Mr. MICHELL replied that he had received that letter
from Mr. Turner as the Chairman of the last public meet-
ing, and be considered himself bound to place it before the
present meeting.—( Cheers. )
Mr. LATIMER also replied that he had received the letter
which he bad just read, as an official letter addressed to
him by Mr. Turner, as the Hon. Secretary of the
Committee, and he had no doubt that Mr. Turner wrcte
it with a view to its coming before the public. The meet-
ing was not a meeting of Mr. Tooke's friends, but as that
gentleman's letter was more congenial with the sentiments
of those present than Mr. Turner's, that would account for

the demonstration of feeling evinced on the occasion. He
( Mr. Latimer) was happy to observe that Mr. Childs, of
Bungay, bad sent a pound to The Sun, and that Mr. R.
Peek had contributed, through the Patriot, 51. towards
the same object. The accounts of subscriptions received
were much applauded, as the names of the contributors
were announced.

The CHAIRMAN proposed, as the next toast, " Civil
and Religious Liberty," coupling it with the names of 'the
several Dissenting ministers present.—( Loud cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. HELLINGS, of Exeter, said that he had
no idea a week or two ago that he should have had the
honour and the pleasure which he had experienced this
day. Circumstances of affliction in the family of his friend,
Mr. Hobbs, had rendered it necessary that be should leave
Bodrnin for a time, and he ( Mr. Hellings) had attended
to supply his place. While there, he heard of the im-
prisonment of the defendants, and he felt induced to apply
to the goal for admission to see them, but was refused. He
waited therefore patiently till they were released from their
unrighteous bondage, when he was introduced to them,
and be felt it not only a pleasure but a pride to have a
place in the vehicle which brought them into their native
town.—( Loud cheers.)
The Revs. W. Moons and T. ROBINSON also addressed
the Meeting at considerable length, and in powerful
speeches, the former gentleman making the declaration,
that he would never again pay another church-rate, a
declaration which Mr. Robinson will also, no doubt, act
upon.

• The CHAIRMAN then gave "the Liberty of the Press,
and thanks to the disinterested part that the liberal por-
tion of it has taken in the late prosecution."
Mr. RICKEREY returned thanks for the Falmouth Packet,
and Mr. LATIMER on behalf of the Editor of the West
Briton, who was unavodably absent. Mr. Latimer stated
that he could not sit down without expressing his high ad-
miration at the noble part which The Sun had taken dur-
ing these proceedings, and he thought their warmest thanks
were especially due to that Journal, not only for its aid on
the present occasion, but for the bold and uncompromising
manner in which it supported every question which went to
promote the rights of mankind, whether of a civil or reli-
gious character.—( Long continued cheering.)
Several other toasts were drunk, and many speeches
made which the length of our report, however, will not per.
mit us to give.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1639.

The Petitions to the Lords in favour of Postage
Reform, were again numerous last night.
The Earl of HARDWICKR, in presenting a petition
for an alteration in the Sale of Beer Act, stated that he,
as a Magistrate, had convicted a Beer Shop-keeper and
been fined for his pains. He is therefore very angry with
Beer Shops.
The Copyright in Designs Bills were read a second
time, after a few words praising the Bills from Lord
BROUGHAM, who thought, however, they might go
further. _ .

The Church Discipline Bill was read a second time ;
the discussion is to be taken on it on going into Com-
mittee.

In the Commons, also, the petitions in favour of
Postage Reform were numerous.
Mr. EWART was declared duly elected for Wigan, and
gave notice that he would to-morrow present a petition
from some voters of Wigan, who complain of having
been carried off, and having had narcotic drugs admi-
nistered to them, to prevent them voting.
The House was occupied, for the greater part of the
evening, with the Prisons Discipline Bill in Committee.

In the House of Peers on Friday night the Earl
of ABERDEBN, on presenting a petition against
the Newfoundland House of Assembly, spoke of
that body with great contempt, because one of the
Members was a hired servant of 101. a-year, and
he described the class of persons who formed the
Assembly as by no means well qualified for Legis-
lative functions. According to the Noble Earl,
nobody is well qualified except Peers and Bishops.
The law, being merely the instrument by which
certain classes seek or maintain dominion over other
classes, in the opinion of a Peer nobody is or cln be fit
to wield it, but a Peer or somebody like a Peer. How
should a servant or a labourer be fit, for he would
make the law to serve his own purposes, and put
clown the Nobility ? The Noble Earl's sentiment is
unaffectedly natural. He feels and knows that he
and his peers have always made and used the laws,
for the sole purpose of aggrandisingtheir own class;
and he feels and knows that whoever has the mak-
ing of laws will act in the same manner, and he at
once concludes that those other classes must be un-
fit to make laws.

Under a thin disguise of promoting inquiry, he
and the Tories wish to suspend or put down altogether
the popular Assembly of Newfoundland, which is of
the people, and represents them ; and at the same
time the Tories, under Sir ROBERT PEEL, arc
anxious to protect the aristocratic or privileged As-
sembly of Jamaica, which represents 1,500 persons,
connected with the property of the island, and en-
ables them to make laws for 350,000. Such a
Parliament is, in principle, so very like our House
of Lords, and our House of Commons,
and is therefore so very fit to make laws
in the estimation of Tories and Peers, that
the very same men who are anxious to put
down the popular representation of Newfoundland,
cry out that it is an outrage against liberty to
suspend the planters' legislative power in Ja-
maica. This is a specimen both of the incon-
sistency of the Tories and their unblushing, un-
altered, enduring resolution to use legislation merely
for the purpose of promoting their own selfish ends.
Their conduct in this instance is well worthy of
the attention of those who think that there is no dif-
ference between the Whigs and Tories, and who
would, out of pure patriotism, rather have the Tories
