TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
observe by the reports in this morning's Papers,
that Lord John Russell, in the House of Commons last
night, in reference to the Church-rate question, and to his
answer to Mr. Hutt, said that " his hope was then, and
now, that the measure which he should have to propose
,irould be satisfactory to his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wilks, who
had presented a petition from Ely against Church-rates),
and to the great part of those who were interested in the
snhieet." The Illorning Chronicle says of this declaration,
we only wish Isis Lordship had been a little earlier with
p'tn•—and it adds, in reference to the resolutions passed at
ungay—i, for we perceive the Dissenters have been pass-
mg resolutions, in the belief that his Lordship is hostile to
*heir claims."
As one who took a part at the Meeting at which those
resolutions were passed, and as one who presumes to know
ssomething of' the feelings of men who are at once Dis-
senters and Reformers, in various parts of the kingdom,
and especially in the North of England, I beg leave to say
that a declaration, at the end of the Session, that Lord John
Russell will produce a measure satisfactory to Mr. Wilks,
and such Dissenters as think with Mr. Wilks, may be very
far from being satisfactory to them. I believe I may add,
that no declaration will be satisfactory which is short of an
express and unequivocal avowal that the Dissenters shall
be entirely relieved from the burden of Church-rates, and
that it shall not be laid upon the Consolidated Fund.
Whilst Ministers defer such a declaration, Dissenters will
not be persuaded that Lord J. Russell is not " hostile to
their cla-ms," and they will, as the Patriot of yesterday
advises them, " settle the question out of Parliament."
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
ARCH. PRENTICE.
