CRUTCH RATES.

A division took place in the House of Commons last
night which we can only regard as preliminary to a final
settlement of the question of church rates. When leave
to bring in a bill for the entire abolition of that impost
is carried by a majority of more than two to one, it is
evidently in vain to persist in the defence of what was
never very easy to be defended. Already the payment
of rates is a voluntary act wherever the parish is wealthy
and populous enough to resist the demand. There are
large cities that pay no rates, and Liverpool has just
successfully resisted an attempt to extract a farthing in
the pound from half a million of people. In this metro-
polis the parish of St. Pancras, with a population of
160,000, has never paid a church rate, except a special
rate by act of Parliament for the building of the parish
church. Any parish that can find the money may earn
immortal distinction or notoriety by refusing church
rates ; and, as the House of Lords has interpreted the
law, they cannot be levied except by the vote of a de-
cided majority of the parishioners in vestry. Is it worth
anybody's while to go on contesting a point which all
the powers that be have agreed to surrender? There
are not a few great questions before us ; the position of
the Church, the cause of religion, the advancement of
morality, the spread of education, claim our enthusiasm
in turn ; but it is clearly impossible to enlist the sympa-
thies of mankind very generally in favour of a tax which is
only a perpetual watchword of war; and, so far from con-
tributing to the dignity, the peace, and the security of the
Church, puts it in the ridiculous position of extorting
from the weak what it does not even venture to ask from
the strong. These considerations have very great weight
when the only appeal on the other side is to old common
law, and to the eternal scruple against giving up the
smallest temporality once possessed by the Church. We
have said that, after all, church rates are voluntary.
Even with all the appliances of wealth and the law,
they may be successfully refused by the majority of the
parish. But law itself never gave the Church more
than was necessary for the maintenance of the fabric
and the bare performance of divine service. If the pa-
rishioners choose further to decorate their church, to
have an organ, a warming apparatus, lights, or any
other luxury to the sense or to the taste, they must be
ready to pay for these accessories, if need be, out of
their private pockets, for no law can enforce them.
The immense sums now spent in the building and deco-
ration of churches leave no doubt that churches will be
kept up from some source or other without the painful
resource of taxing those who have no wish to pay, or
who have a positive scruple against paying. If it is
Christianity that all Christians should pay in proportion
to their worship of the Almighty, it cannot be Christi-
anity that they who are not Christians should be liable
to the confiscation of their goods, to imprisonment, and
excommunication, if they refuse to give. We may re-
gret that all are not Christians, that all do nob press
to pay, and that there is not a godly rivalry for the
honour of undertaking the maintenance of the Church
and the peformance of divine service. But our re-
grets are vain. The fact is lamentably otherwise, and
we have only to adjust the law to the fact. Less than
300 years ago a man was liable to be fined and im-
prisoned if he absented himself from his parish church ;
still more, if he attended any other form of worship.
Church-rates harmonised admirably with that state of
things ; but, as that is past, so also is past the season
for a compulsory Church tax. As Lord Stanley ob-
serves, the chief burden and nuisance of Church-rates
fall on those zealous Churchmen who are prepared to
spend half their incomes, if need be, on the Church ;
but who feel it a duty to struggle for the miserable
pence, which they imagine the law gives the Church,
and which they feel it wrong to give up. There cannot
be a worse hardship than that a man of great generosity
and kindness should feel himself put, as it were, on his
lionotir and upoYlislinettle to do that which is- wholly
alien to his nature, and which degrades him even while
he feels that he is doing a duty. That is the case with
these Church-rate rows, in which the amount of rate is
the last thing cared for, even if it be known ; and the
only question is, whether Dissenters and malcontents
shall be made to pay or not.
There are various minor difficulties which, as they have
not prevented the effective refusal of Church rates in
many populous cities and parishes, will not stand in the
way of a general measure. The churches must be kept
up in this metropolis without the aid of Church rates.
There are also certain antiquated payments for " prom-
rations," " synodals," and we know not what besides,
that figure in churchwardens' accounts, and amount to
several pounds annually in each parish. But, as they
have been dispensed with to a very great extent, and
visitations and the other church forms go on with un-
abated frequency and effect, it is clear that the payment
is not necessary. The only result will be that some offi-
cial will receive still less than he does now for doing next
to nothing. There is talk of compensation or substitu-
tion; and, if any can be found, well and good ; but it is
idle to wait for a substitute that will work per-
fectly well, when the real foundation of the evil
is, that the Church is no longer the communion
of the whole nation, or even of a decided majority.
It is, indeed, a matter of common policy not to remove
one prop till another is supplied, but nobody can look
around at the magnificent fabrics rising in all directions,
each more costly and even extravagant than the last,
and seeking, as it were, every excuse for expense, with-
out feeling quite easy as to the eventual maintenance of
all our churches, as soon as the proper organisation can
be found. As to the other questions, that have often
been asked, and to which Lord John Russell by the zeal
of his churchmanship gives some currency, time will
soon answer them. It is asked where dissenters will
stop ? How long will the Church be united to the
State? How will the Church stand to the State when
even its fabrics are not secured by the law ? These are
questions of theory. We have to do with the fact —to
retain that fact or to reject it, as the public weal may
require. We are ready, therefore, to give up this un-
popular impost, and then leave ecclesiastical philosophers
to define the relations of the Church and State in this
country as they can. It was never a very easy question,
and we do not think it will be rendered more difficult by
he change now in contemplation.—Times.

THE W.R.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.'
Yesterday advices were received at the Admiralty,
under date Elsinore, May 17, that another Russian Fin-
land barque, called the Primus, had been captured in
the Baltic by her Majesty's cruisers, and sent home a
prize to England.
The Russian barque Arno, of about 400 tons, which
was captured off Queenstown a few days ago by one of
her Majesty's cruisers, arrived in the Mersey shortly
before 7 o'clock on Monday evening, in tow of the steam-
tug Athens, and anchored in the Sloyne. She is accom-
panied by a revenue cutter.
Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Com-
mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, hoisted his flag in the
steam yacht Fire Queen, Master Commander Paul, and
went to Osborne yesterday morning to pay his respects
to the Queen.
The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain the
Hon. Joseph Denman, will be undocked and refitted on
the 2d proximo.
The Sealark, 8, Lieutenant Fenwick, manned by naval
apprentices, sailed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday
evening for a cruise.
Captain Charles Smith (1841) is 'selected by Vice-
Admiral the Hon. William Gordon, the newly appointed
Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, as his flag captain,
and has received his appointment to the Waterloo. The
commandership is offered to Edmund H. Gunnell. The
flag-lieutenant is not yet nominated. Mr. Alexander
Kent, who was lately secretary to Sir John Ommanney
at Devonport, is the secretary to the Hon. William
Gordon.
Orders have been received at Plymouth to supply the
screw steam-ship Algiers, 91, with stores and provisions
immediately. Several victualling hoys are alongside,
and it is expected that she will be ready to go out of Ply-
mouth harbour by the 30th of May.
The Pylades, 20, new screw steam-corvette, now
building at Sheerness, on improved lines from the High-
flyer, with extension of length and beam, has now 10
gangs of shipwrights at work on her, in order to hasten
her completion, so that she may be ready for being
launched in the early part of August next. This ship
will carry her guns on her upper deck, flush fore and aft.
She will have the heaviest battery carried by any vessel
of her class in the navy ; and, in addition to her arma-
ment of 20 guns of large calibre, she will carry a 10-inch
long pivot gun for shot or shell with traversing slides, to
be worked at her bow or stern as occasion may require.
The hull is constructed on a new principle, adding con-
siderably to her strength, and keeping her sheer. The
entire square and cant bodies fore and aft are secured
together by diagonal iron plates, with one timber in each
frame secured by a through bolt and clinched, and the
intermediate timbers are secured by an efficient screw-
bolt in each. This is being done to meet the immense
weight of metal she is to carry fore and aft. There is no
doubt she will be ready for launching at the time ap-
pointed, and she is to be fitted for active service imme-
diately she can be brought forward for the pendant.
The Tribune, 31, screw steam-frigate, Captain the Hon.
S. T. Carnegie, slipped from her moorings on Monday ;
at 7.45 p.m. she proceeded out of harbour, anchored be-
tween the Nore and the Mouse, and got under weigh at
tidetime yesterday morning for Spithead.
The Prometheus has left the Mersey for Devonport,
where she is to await further orders.

manu-
factured by Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co. The
second bower anchor is one of the Admiralty anchors,
improved as proposed by the anchor committee, who
superintended the trial of anchors at Sheerness. The
anchor referred to is made in every respect similar to the
late Admiralty anchor, with the addition of the pea points
on the palms being chisel-pointed, or bezelling back from
the front side of the palms. This anchor weighs 103
cwt. ; wood stock, with hoops and bolts complete, weighs
24 cwt. ; making a total of 127 cwt. The anchor is
manufactured by Messrs. Brown, Lenox, and Co. The
Royal Albert, although nominally rated at 500-horse
power, will be capable of working up to 1,700-horse
power when working expansively on her gear.
In consequence of an additional number of supernu-
meraries having been sent on board the Resistance for
passage to the Baltic, extra provisions, beds, &c., have
been put on board. Her mails were made up at the
post-office, Sheerness, last night, and she will leave early
this morning.
The following notices were posted at Sheerness yes-
terday by an Admiralty order :
" Letters for the Baltic fleet will be despatched by
her Majesty's steam-vessel Otter on the 25th inst."
" Letters for El.eamen, marines, and boys serving in
the Baltic will 'he forwarded by this opportunity, ii
posted in time, and marked 'By her Majesty's steam.

Captain Sherringham, R.N., has been as successful in
the enrolment of seafaring men for the naval coast volun-
teers in the district assigned to him as could have been
expected. The gallant captain has already enrolled up-
wards of 400, and he has many places yet to visit. In
many of the ports of Devonshire he has been very suc-
cessful. In Plymouth he enrolled 40 licensed watermen,
respectable and well-qualified men. At Gosport he en-
rolled upwards of 6Q of this respectable class of seamen.
At Appledore, in the north of Devon, a few days ago
upwards of 20 boatmen, &c., came forward to have
their names enrolled. During the last few days the
gallant captain has visited Topsham and Exeter. In
the former place, although a small port, he succeeded as
well as he could desire, and in Exeter he enrolled seve-
ral men. Some of the seafaring men in different ports
have a notion that the object of forming this force is to
enrol men with a view to their being draughted into the
regular service when sailors are needed. This, however,
is not the case. The coast volunteers are intended for
the protection of our shores in case of invasion, and are
in a naval point of view what the militia are to the
military force of the kingdom, only to be called out for
service in case of actual danger to the country.
Yesterday evening a party of volunteer seamen was
despatched from Liverpool to London, to be draughted
into the Royal navy.
The following appointments have been made :—Capt.
Wm. J. C. Clifford (1847), to command the Sphinx,
paddle-wheel steam-sloop, of 500-horse power, commis.
sioned yesterday at Portsmouth.
Paymaster—George H. Moubray (1841), from the
Sanspareil, 70, screw steam-ship, to be additional Pay-
master of the Britannia, 120, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral
Dundas, Commander-in-Chief of the fleet in the Black
Sea.
Second-Master—Richard C. Dyer (1848) from the
Impregnable flag-ship at Devonport, to the Zephyr
steam-vessel.
Master's-Assistant—J. W. Allen, to the Powerful, 84,
at Portsmouth.
Clerk—Charles Fisher (1858), to the Hornet, 17, screw
steam-sloop at Woolwich.
Clerk's-Assistant—Jonathan Mayne, to the Duke of
Wellington, 131, screw-steam flag-ship in the Baltic.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany's steamer Himalaya did not leave Southampton on
Monday night, having been detained at anchor in the
stream till noon yesterday, to take on board 20 artillery
horses, with a corresponding number of men sent from
London to embark by her, under the command of Lieu-
tenant Nicholls. The horses were conveyed alongside
in a small steam tender, out of which they were hoisted
in horse-boxes to the deck. Among the passengers by
the Himalaya to Queenstown are Lord George Lennox,
Mr. Murdoch, one of her Majesty's Emigration Com-
missioners (who is proceeding there to establish an emi-
gration depot), Capt. Engledue, the superintendent of
the company ; Capt. Crispin, Royal Navy ; Mr. Aylen,
master of the Victoria and Albert ; and Mr. Partridge,
engineer, from Woolwich. The three latter gentlemen
will go on to Malta, in order to decide whether the screw
propeller or paddlewheel is best adapted for her Majesty's
now steam yacht.
One bombardier and six gunners of the Royal Marine
Artillery from Portsmouth have embarked at Woolwich
Dockyard for service in the Hornet.
Three non-commissioned officers and .25 gunners of
No. 2 company of the 12th battalion of Royal Artillery
left Woolwich garrison at 4 o'clock a.m. yesterday, with
30 horses, to proceed to Southampton by railway, where
the horses will be embarked for conveyance to the East.
The route arrived yesterday morning at Windsor for
the removal of the depot of the 97th to Bristol. The
companies, numbering something
march on Thursday morning, over 100 strong, will
unrdoecrtdhebycomthme aGndreaotf
Captain Richard Sibthorp, and pee
Western Railway to their destination.
Yesterday afternoon the 46th were inspected in the
Home-park, Windsor, by Colonel Garrott, their gallant
commander. The men were in heavy marching order,
and went through their movements admirably.
A third detachment of the Ist Royal Dragoons arrived
at Liverpool from the Hulme barracks yesterday, and
immediately embarked on board the transport-ship Coro-
nella. She will proceed to-day for Malta. The troop-
ships William Jackson, Deva, and Palmyra, will also
leave the Mersey to-day or to-morrow for Dublin, to
take on board the 4th Dragoons for the East.
The depot of the Bth (Royal Irish) Hussars arrived at
the North-wall, Dublin, on Monday morning, en route
for Newbridge, there to be stationed. The depot con-
sists of 63 men and 67 horses, with officers and sergeants,
under the command of Captain Naylor. Lord Killeen
is expected to join in a few days, when he will take the
command.
Captain Adye's company of the Royal Artillery left
Dublin on Saturday last, the 20th inst., by railway, via
Armagh, for Charlemont, to relieve Captain Oldfield's
company, ordered to embark at Belfast for Fleetwood,
and thence to Woolwich.
The whole of the service troops of the 4th (Royal
Irish) Dragoon Guards have arrived in Dublin from
Newbridge, preparatory to embarking at Kingstown for
the East. The Maori transport arrived in Kingstown
on Sunday from Deptford, to receive on board a division
of this regiment ; and the transports Burmah and Sir

Robert Sale, from Deptford, and the Deva, William
Jackson, and Palmyra, from Liverpool, will arrive at
Kingstown in the course of the present week for the
same purpose.
A cavalry depot is to be formed at Newbridge, to con-
sist of the depots of the three cavalry regiments embark-
ing from Ireland for Turkey—namely the 4th and sth
Dragoon Guards and 11th Hussars, and of the depot of
the Bth (Royal Irish) Hussars.
The 27th (Enniskillen) Regiment, now in Dublin, will
embark at Cork for India about the latter end of June.
Six ships have been taken up for its.conveyance by the
Court of Directors of the East India Company.
The Provost, Fellows, and Professors of Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin, have forwarded to Messrs. Arnut and Bo-
rough, army agents, the sum of 1081. Bs. 6d. for the
support of the wives and children of the soldiers on war
service in Turkey.

THE MILITIA AND YEOMANRY.
The official inspection of the regiment of Essex (West)
Yeomanry Cavalry has been fixed to take place on
Wednesday, August 7, by a field officer of the regular
cavalry, to be named by the Secretary at War. The
corps will muster at Oxney-green, near Writtle, on
Monday, July 31, for eight days' drill, and the exercise
ground will be either at Great Baddow-mead or Hylands-
park. They will be marched into Chelmsford on the
day appointed for inspection.
The Queen's Own Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry
are to be mustered for review to-morrow at Sherborne,
Dorsetshire.
The Royal Dorset Regiment of Militia are progres-
sing rapidly in their military exercise at Dorchester, the
improvement they have made up to the present time
being very marked and highly satisfactory. It is un-
derstood that the commanding officer, Colonel Bingham,
has, during the past week, received intimation that the
regiment is to be kept out on permanent duty beyond
the 28 days for which they were first assembled. Their
conduct since they have been at Dorchester has called
forth general approbation from the inhabitants.
The Derbyshire Militia, under the command of Col.
Lord Waterpark, M.P., have passed through half the
term of their training at Derby, and acquitted them-
selves very creditably.
The South Lincolnshire Militia, commanded by Col.
Sibthorp, have been in training at Grantham eight days
of their annual term. The men have received well-
earned praise for their discipline.

FUNERAL SERMON ON THE LATE
JAMES MONTGOMERY.

The Rev. Mr. Muir, of Sheffield, in the presence of
a large concourse of persons, preached a funeral sermon
at Netherby Chapel, Sheffield, on Tuesday evening, the
16th inst. The following is the portraiture of the dis-

tinguished poet and eminent Christian, which the rev.

gentleman drew towards the close of his able dis-

course :

Not often, indeed, has he appeared at our missionary
meetings ; but he did occasionally ; and who that has
ever seen and heard the venerable man at the missionary
breakfast in Queen-street school-room, but must have
been affected by the scene ; his standing up to speak,
especially inviting the people to join in the hymn, the
one touching hymn which he always selected his read-
inn- the hymn ; the deep emotions that filled his mind in
the course of the reading ; his own singing when the
time came, with his quivering lips, but always with a
full heart ; all was a picture on which no eyes could
look without being moved. I hear him now attempting
to read the last verse of the hymn—
" 0, that with yonder sacred throng,
We at his feet may fall."
It took him some struggling to get through this much ;
and then he seemed to rise again in strength, and still
more in pathos, as if he had proposed in his mind what
he should do when brought to that part, as he says—
" There join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all."
And now that purpose has begun—that work of bles-
sedness has commenced—crowned himself, he crowns in
undying song the Lamb that was slain. On a harp of
gold, such as angels strike, and on a lyre such as the
spirit fingers of the ransomed sweep, he makes melody
befo
treo bewith tb
the Throne.e Lord
No
And this, moreto staby"mfayrebwreetlbl,';enb,utiefoar
ever
sketch of the way in which the departed worked out his
principles of integrity as a man, as a citizen of the world,
and as a firm believer in the religion of the cross. It
will not be necessary for me to say much upon the other
portion of the text. The words of the prophet are these,
"He shall enter into peace : they shall rest in their beds,
each one walking in his integrity." You will perceive
that a change is introduced in the case of the latter of
these pronouns—that one is singular, the other is
plural. After showing that this change in the case
arose from the construction of preceding verses, Mr.
Muir went on to say :—ln the first place then,
"He shall enter into peace." Has he not done
that? "He shall enter into peace." Is not the thought a
most beautiful one ? The body dies, but whither is it
that the spirit goes ? It enters into peace. But what
kind of peace, and under what latitude or longitude is
the region of peace ? This world may have been a region
of peace, but sure I am that it is not so now. The storm
that broke over Paradise so terribly, so like a whirlwind
blast, was such that man was glad to escape from it.
Since then, my brethren, this world has been a scene of
toil rather than of rest. The elements of disorder seem
everlastingly to be playing. It is a place of strife—a
strife from which even the Church is not exempt—a
place of confusion and evil work. Yet for the believer
there remains a place of rest in the bright heavens, pre-
pared by the Redeemer for his disciples. Into that rest
have entered the spirits of Bennett, Roberts, Smith, and
others, who, while on earth enjoyed sweet and profitable
intercourse with James Montgomery. They antici-
pated Montgomery in the rest which he longed and
panted for. " They shall rest in their beds." Brethren,
it is something to know that there is always a bed for
the dead. There is a bed for the soldier, whose life-
blood is quenched amidst the ranks of strife ; and a bed
for the sailor, whose winding-sheet is the trackless bil-
low, and the foam of the ocean the grass of his grave.
There is a hymn for the dead, which Montgomery wrote
and sung too :
" There is a calm for those that weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims found ;
They softly lie and sweetly sleep,
Low in the ground."
And now mother earth has taken home her child. His
work was accomplished, and he has gone down to the
grave covered with glory. He died as one that slept—
gentle as the sleep of infancy ; and, above all, he fell
asleep in Jesus. We have seen him laid in his grave,
and there may he repose undisturbed till the last trump
of the archangel calls him to newness of life. Oh, that
was a sight for angels to gaze at ! We saw that, and a
more moving sight we never saw. It has often been
my lot to stand upon the ship's deck and watch the
coming tempest. From that same deck I have stood
and looked with gladness on the signs of the coming
calm. But I have witnessed nothi:ag like the calm,
peaceful end of Montgomery. But that which interested
me most—which absorbed me most was, the exodus of
the spirit of James Montgomery. As I saw his remains
taken from their temporary abode, it prosented to me a
perfect picture of the words of the prop het, " He shall
rest in his bed, having walked in his integrity." Rest
thou in thy bed. Thou believer in the doctrines of the
resurrection of the dead, and the day of thy Redeemer :
rest thou there until the appearing of 13:im who has en-
gaged to perform all things. Rest thou there, even
though a thousand men should ask--" How are the
dead raised up, and with what body do they come ?"
Rest thou there. Death is not an eternal sleep, nor
is the grave the end of our history. Another morn-
ing is to break upon us refulgent in the tints of re-
surrection glory. The end of all things is coming,
when he shall deliver up the kingdom -unto God, even
the Father ; when that which is sown in corruption
shall be raised in incorruption ; when th at which is sown
in dishonour, shall be raised in glory ; v rhen that which
is sown in weakness, shall be raised in power ; when
that which is sown a natural body, sh.all be raised a
spiritual body ; for there is a natural b ody and there is
a spiritual body. Green be the turf above thy head ;
gentle the foot that treads upon it. An d though winter
should come, the blasts sweep across thy- grave, the trees
be torn up, and the foliage scattered, reta thou there. It
is not yet thy time for getting up. It inay not be for a
thousand years to come. Rest thou there ; for with the
Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a. thousand years
is as one day. Rest thou there. Thy spirit, meanwhile,
shall drink from the rivers of the waters of life, clear as
crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the
Lamb. My brethren, what, in conclushon, is the lesson
here given to us—given to us from the imount—given to
us from the cemetery ? It is this :—" Mark the perfect
man, and behold the upright ; for the cad of that man is
peace." What should be the response of each one ex-
cept this : Let me die the death of the righteous, and
let my last end be like his."
