HAMBURG, SEPT. 28, 1836.
nUR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are reqw.sted to be particular in directing.
HEINE BROTHERS, in HA3IBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
on'y, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
10/. 201., or 30/., for instance, 'f remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land'Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in Due Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these partHiculars.
EINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
TURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1836.

The Church-rate question will not be allowed to
slumber—the advocates of right, and the supporters of
wrong, seem perfectly agreed on this point—and we
see that in various parts of the country, associations are
being formed to co-operate with the London Church-
rate Abolition Society. At the great meeting, held in
the City on the 19th ult., one of the speakers observed,
with truth, that no men in the kingdom had done more
abolish Church-rates than the churchwardens of
Bungay St. Mary, who sent their townsman to
Ipswich-gaol for refusing to pay. And these same
churchwardens are again come to the rescue. The
crisis of the question is just arrived—it must be settled
early in the next Session, one way or other.
What that settlement will he depends mainly on the
amount of public feeling which shall be manifested,
and the effect which may thereby be produced on the
minds of the Government or the Legislature.
The grand obstacle which the Abolitionists had to
apprehend, was apathy in their supporters—and what
thay would most devoutedly wish for is the occurrence
of some facts which should present the question once
more before the public in a startling form. The
churchwardens of Bungay St. Mary (the everlasting
SAMUEL SCOTT one of them), seem resolved that
this demand shall be complied with, and the: oppor-
tunity shall not be thrown away. After pausing
since Easter last, they have chosen this particular junc-
ture to make a new Church-rate, and given notice of a
meeting on Tuesday next for the purpose. We are
sure their good intentions will not be without effect.
As friends of justice and religious freedom, we thank
them heartily for the impulse they will give to the good
cause ; and we know their neighbours are prepared to
work out the full benefit of their doings.

We shrewdly suspect this SAMUEL SCOTT, who
was bred a Dissenter and went over to the Church,
is, after all, a traitor to his new creed ; and that,
having devoted himself to the downfall of the Esta-
blishment, he has, like Hustrar, carried false counsels
to its camp, and retained office for three successive
years, for the purpose of carrying those counsels into
more complete operation.

In the Number, just published, of the " British and
Foreign Review," there is an article on the subject of
Russia, which is worthy of all praise, first for its bold,
unceremonious plain-speaking, as respects the policy
and designs of the St. Petersburgh Cabinet; and secondly
from its triumphant refutation of an assertion lately
hazarded by a Manchester Manufacturer (in a pam-
phlet that has attracted considerable notice), to the
effect that the general interests of Europe would be
advanced by the Cza R being permitted to walk a
second time across the Balkan, and take possession of
Constantinople. The Reviewer justly observes that
European commerce and civilization would gain nothing
by such a proceeding ; but on the contrary would be
materially injured by it, inasmuch as Russia has no
notion of the principles of free-trade ; no means of exer-
cising a salutary moral influence on a comprehensive
scale ; and as for enlightening the mind of Turkey,
would throw every possible obstacle in the way of its
further
improvement. Facts fully bear out the Re-
viewer in these assertions, in proof of the justice of
which we need only look to Poland. After having
been upwards of five and twenty years under the domi-
nion of Russia. at a period too when civilization was
making rapid progress in every other country in Eu-
rope, what was its condition at the breaking out of the
revolution of 1830 ? Was its domestic or foreign trade
.in a fair way of increasing ; had it a just and en-
lightened code of laws ; a well-regulated social system ;
a free legislation presided over by a Viceroy interested
in the welfare of the kingdom ?—Nothing of the sort.
The energies of commerce were all crippled ; discon-
tent ann. disorganization pervaded every class of the
community", from the peer to the peasant ; impartial
jurisdiction was unknown ; there was no freedom of
speech, scarce:r. even of thought; no Press but such as
were the Russian livery and espoused the Russian
interests ; spies infest ,f} every nook and corner of the
social edifice ; and crown all, a military despotism
the most frightful, remorseless character denied even
to :he humblest Pole the sorry privilege of even dream-
in,.; that he was a freeman. Such as is now, and ever
has bean, the condition of Poland since her subjuga-
ti.m by Russia, would be that of Turkey were she ever
to be placed in the same condition. A State, no matter
ivi7 vast be her physical resources, that does not con-
it, in the elements of civilization in herself, cannot pos-
sit ly civilize others. As for ameliorating the social
comlition of the Turks in particular, and elevating them
as a. „nation in
the scale of humanity, we are yet to learn
Etussia is in any one respect the superior of
:oruthey.
If we look to the situation of her millions of
Icrfs, who, Are estimated as cattle by their. owners, and
