ters at issue between them. The first step in the pro-
cess is to bring together those two parties in the seve-
ral parishes, for the purpose of fixing what is to be the
amount of the rent-charge in cumulo to be in future
substituted for tithe. This general amount having
been agreed upon at a parochial meeting, called by at
least one-fourth (in value) of either land-owners or
tithe-ownero and comprising not less than two-thirds
(in value) of both these classes of proprietors, and
the agreement having been approved of by the
Commissioners and the Bishop of the diocese, the
next step is to allot to each portion of land in
the parish the quantum of rent-charge with which
it ought to be burdened. This is, perhaps, the
most difficult part of the whole business. It is
a task requiring in those who perform it no ordinary
degree of practical knowledge in agricultural matters,
as well as the strictest moral integrity. It is indeed
hardly to be expected that the " valuers," were they
angels from heaven, would give satisfaction to all.
Some will think that their land pays too much, and
that of their neighbours too little. But every
reasonable ground of complaint has been removed by
vesting the appointment of the valuers in the land-
owners themselves, and giving them, besides, the
power of objecting to the apportionment and bringing it
under the revision of the Commissioners, by whom it
must be confirmed.

The Ist of Octoben 1838, is the limit fixed by the
Act for a voluntary settlement between the owners of
land and of tithes. If no proceedings with a view to
an amicable arrangement shall have commenced by
that time, the Commissioners take the matter in hand,
and do that for the parties which they have refused to
do for themselves.

The Commissioners are Mr. BLANfIRE, late Mem-
ber for East Cumberland (on whose suggestion many im-
portant amendments were made in the Bill in its passage
through the 'House of Commons), Captain BULLER,
and Mr. JONES, of King's College. These gentlemen
have entered upon their labours by framing and sup-
plying, in terms of the 22d clause of the Act, forms
of Notices, Agreements, &c., to the Churchwardens
of the different parishes in England and Wales. This
promptitude is highly commendable, and we would re-
commend that it be met by similar promptitude on the
part of those whose interests are more immediately
concerned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

TOWN-HALL.

Charles Marlin, a bulky Frenchman, was this morning
brought before Mr. Alderman BROWN, charged by Joseph
Lavellee, also a Frenchman, with striking him at the White

assault.

Marlin—Bail ! What's that ? If you want one or two hun-
dred pounds I can get it.

persons to answer for your keeping the peace towards this man.

The prisoner then brought two half starved objects forward,
who were declared ineligible, and the prisoner was locked up
till Monday.
