Morning Herald.
Some of the slanderous Tory prints have assumed an
air of the utmost exultation at the fancied prospect
of Lord Melbourne's resignation—a vision which
has arisen from the conjoint • effects of despair and
delusion, and for which there is not the slightest
basis but the 'delirious desire of its accomplishment.
Hopeless, indeed, must be the condition of that party
which seeks consolation in an anticipation so vain
and illusory ! Even if the resignation of Lord Mel-
bourne were certain, which it is not—what advan-
tage can Toryism expect from such an event ? We_
estimate as highly as they deserve—and. more we
cannot say—the honest ability and unswerving deter-
mination with which the Noble Premier has carried
the principles of just and popular government into
action ; but, valuable as his services have been to his
country, it would be absurd to suppose that the pro-
gress of Reform could be retarded by the retirement of
any individual, or class of individuals. Some men
may carry on the Government with more sincere ad-
herence to their avowed principles than others ;.but the
idea of an Administration existing on any basis but
that of Reform and popular support is ludicrous. The
experiment of an anti-national, or anti-reform Adminis-
tration has been already tried. It was a dangerous ex-
periment; its repetition would be still more so, and
might be irretrievably destructive to the faction which
would attempt it. So far from Lord Melbourne or his
Cabinet giving an additional impetus to the progress
of amelioration and popular principles, they have ra-
ther, by their well-timed liberality and just concession,
served as a check upon their impetuosity. Should
any casualty displace the Cabinet it must be succeed-
ed by one still more liberal in its constitution, and
more ready to make concessions to public opinion ;
and, therefore, if the Tories were not grossly blinded
by their insensate raving after office, they would per-
ceive that their dearest wishes would be only the more
surely defeated by any change in the Administration,
They could not restrain—nor dare they even attempt
ii—the onward movement of reform with one-half the
effect that the present Cabinet may do—they are
collectively held in such abhorrence and abomination
by the country, that their assumption or usurpation of
.power would only serve to increase the demands of
the people, and make them more determined upon ob,
taining a larger portion of their rights ; and l'or our
own part, we are more anxious to support the present
Administration, from a desire of advancing with a. cer-
tain and well-regulated movement, than from a wish
to stimulate the action of public opinion.—Morning
Advertiser.

them,
The Rev. Mr. HAMILTON, of Leeds, tildti6d the first
resolution, setting forth the principles and objects of tile
Society, and declaring that those objects would never be
gained until all classes and denominations of Christians
were put on the same footing as regarded civil and reli-
gious liberty. He joined their Noble Chairman in congra-
tulating the meeting on the great advances which the prin•
ciples of religious liberty had, during the last few years,
been snaking in this country. But they should never for-
get that it was by the power of public opinion alone that
the rights of conscience had been asserted and succeoftilly
maintained. They now knew what those rights were, and
what the might of that public opinion tug, and he trusted
they not only knew how to value the one, but how to Use
the other.—(Cheers.) He was no opponent to the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church. He dissented from it only as
an establishment. The Dissenters admitted that in a se-
cular point of view only small annoyances woe offered to
them ; but there was nothing small that touched the eon-
science.—(Much applause.) They might be deemed very
pusillanimous—it might be said 'that " conscience made
cowards of them all," but they preferred being called
cowards for conscience sake rather than be furious, despo-
tic bravoes.—(Cheers.) They ought to congratulate them-
selves that they had a society with a hundred eyes and a
hundred arms. It was an Argus and a Briareus, so that
nothing could escape its detection—nothing elude its grasp.
—(Cheers.) With respect to the attachment of the Dis-
senters to the present Government, he would at once de-
clare that they were not the hirelings of any Ministry.
But, first explaining that he was now, only thinking aloud,
the Dissenters were undoubtedly very much disposed to
feel considerable confidence in his Majesty's present Mi-
nisters. Let him do the Church of England justice.
That Church was now proceeding in the same way as the
Dissenters proceeded. What was now her line of policy ?
She asked far the erection of new churches, and found that
her children would give nothing towards that object, unless
they had secured to them the right to elect their own
pastors. How very near either the Dissenters had got to
the Church of England, or the Church of England had got
to them ?—(Cheers, and laughter.) They were told that
the King was the father of his people ; but those who made
the allegation ought to see to what it pointed. A father
ought to educate his children ; and all his people, whether
Dissenters or not, ought to be admitted to the Universities.
—(Cheers.) But was there any trnth in the figure, that
the King was the father of his people ? He denied it alto-
gether. The King was not the father of his people : the
people was the father of the King.—(Cheers.) He derived
from them his political investiture and existence. The Rev.
Gentleman next adverted to the subject of the Sabbath
Bill. He knew thousands were compelled to work on the
Sunday ; it was for them to ask protection. A royal per-
ginage bad lately been held up as the subject of eulogy on
account of his propensity for observing the Sabbath, it
being related of him that whenever he had to travel on the
Sunday to Newmarket, in order that he might be on the
turf early on Monday morning, he carried the prayer-book
with him in his carriage, and went through the morning
service.—(Loud laughter.) All persons had not the op-
portunity of so observing the Sabbath.—(Laughter again.)
GEORGE BENNETT, Esq., seconded the resolution, which
was adopted unanimously.
JOHN MELLOR, Esq., moved the second resolution, ex-
pressive of the gratification the meeting felt at the passing
of the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill, and rendering
their grateful acknowledgments to his Majesty's Ministers
for that measure. Before that Bill was passed scarcely a
Dissenter was to be found in any,of the corporations in the
kingdom ; now there was no corporation in which the Dis-
senters had not a voice. Those institutions, as now con-
stituted, would have a most material bearing on the future
prospects of the Dissenters. When he turned and beheld
the situation of Ireland it was certainly not with any feel-
ings of congratulation. Ireland had been the peculiar
theatre for the display of the principles of a Conservative
Government. Let them at the next general election insist
upon this one pledge from every candidate for their suffrages
—" Justice to Ireland."—(Cheers.) In that one word,
" justice," was involved every thing be would ask for Ire-
land.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. BAINES, M.P., seconded the resolution. He had
had an opportunity experimentally of judging of the effect
of the municipal reform, and it enabled bhn to say that
through the medium of that great renovation of our local
institutions this country had been governed much better
than any country ever was. The great principle on which
the government of this country was at present conducted
was, that every man should be placed upon a footing of
equality with regard to all civil and religious rights, and it
was their glory that they were arriving, perhaps somewhat
slowly—(Hear, hear),—at the establishment of this prin-
ciple in every part of the empire. He could not say that
he was very sorry that they were proceeding slowly. He
belinred that they were proceeding securely. With respect
to churzh-rates, anxious as he was to support the present
Government, he thought they had erred in committing
themselves to the principle of making a commutation of
church-rates instead of absolutely abolishing them. The
only satisfactory mode was, entirely and for ever to do them
away. —(Cheers.)
The resolution was agreed to.
The Rev. JOHN SIBREE moved the third resolution,
thanking,. Lord John Russell for having introduced the Mar-
riage and Registration Bills into Parliament.
The Rev. 'T. MORELL, of Coward's College, seconded
the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to.
Dr. J. B. BROWN moved the next resolution, in which
the Society expressed its fears that the bold policy evinced
in other instances by his Majesty's Ministers would not be
exhibited as regarded the question of church-rates, against
the payment of which in every shape and form by Dis-
senters this Society entered its solemn protest.
Dr. HAMILTON said what the Dissenters required was
the abolition of the Church-rates, and without it they
would not be satisfied.
Mr. J. CONDER seconded the resolution. He felt that
the time was come for Dissenters to rouse themselves. He
could not think they were met here to express their satis-
faction with Ministers ; on the contrary, he felt that there
was great reason to be dissatisfied.—( Hear, hear.) It was
easy to be satisfied with them politically, but as Dissenters
it was exceedingly difficult.—Resolution carried unani-

THE NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTIES.—A portion
of the press, including the renegade Times, has cast great ob-
loquy on the Chancellor of the Exchequer for having, as is
alleged, selected a particular paper which supports the Go-
vernment of the standard of size, for the purpose of favouring
that paper at the expense of its rivals. Nothing can be more
unfounded than such a charge. The paper selected was the
largest daily paper ; . there was no desire to favour or injure
any particular paper, and the only object for making any limi-
tation at all as to the size of newspapers, was a regard to the
facility, or rather possibility, of conveying newspapers by the
mails, if the proprietors were left altogether unshackled to
to their own discretion on the subject. We can state, of our
own positive knowledge, that both the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer and Mr. John Vood, President of the Board of Stamps
and Taxes, during the various interviews they bad with the
representatives of the provincial press, behaved with the utmost
courtesy, and were most anxious to obtain information, and to
consult their wishes and those of the public, in every way
consistent with the safety of the revenue. We have no doubt
that the members of the London Press met with the same
courteous and considerate treatment at their hands, though

some of them, with a degree of falsehood and turpitude quite
in keeping with their political conduct, have not scrupled to
charge them with having been guided by party motives ; by a
desire to serve their friends and injure their opponents of the
daily press. Less than 4id will not be a remunerating price
for the time, capital, printing, and paper employed in the pub-
lication of a newspaper.—Liverpool Mercury.
The inhabitants of Rotherhithe have at length begun
to bestir themselves respecting the enormous amount annually
raised in that parish as a church-rate, which at this time is no
less than 9d. in the pound.' Among the several items in the
churchwardens' accounts, and which have chiefly given rise
to the conention, are as follow, viz.:—
Cash allowed the warden fur going to Kingston
to be sworn in, and towards the expenses of an
entertainment on that day

It has bceen hinted to the churchwarden by some of the inha-
bitants, that an application will be made to the Ecclesistical
Court on the subject.
The village of Millonfosse, near St. Amami; in the
Nord, has just been the scene of one of those instances of
roguery, acting upon gross ignorance and superstition, for-
merly so prevalent. A farmer of the place, having a sick cow,
sent for a celebrated magician of Aiche to cure her. The
conjuror, on his arrival, immediately pronounced the animal
bewitched, and that there must be a mole in her manger.
After pretending to search, he produced something bearing
the shape of this animal, and threw it into the fire. An ex-
plosion took place, and filled the room with a sulphurous
smoke. After performing some other buffooneries, during which
he contrived to extract a piece of money froth each member of
the family, and transfer it into his own pocket, be declared
that the charm was complete, that the cow would recover.
He bade them also specially mark the first person who should
cross the threshold next morning, for it would be the sorcerer
who had put the spell upon the animal. A luckless friend of
the family happening to pay them an early visit, was of course
set down 'as the wizard, and instead of the usual welcome,
was received with a volley of execrations, and was fortunate in
escaping without more lasting proofs of the ill effects of an
evil _French Paper.
teaatn.
learn from the Journal c/U Loire that the small
town of Clery became on Friday the scene of a disturbance,
arising from a singular cause. An old wooden figure of the
Virgin in the Church having become black and worm-eaten,
the church-wardens proposed to re-place it by a new statute
in plaster. But, as the ancient figure, which had become cele-
brated from having been the object of the adoration of Louis
XL, was supposed by the good old wives of the place to pos-
sess miraculous powers, they excited an opposition to the in-
tended change. On the day in question the labourers in the
vineyards in the neighbourhood, instead of going to their
work, assembled in the church, and waited quietly till the ser-
vice was over; but when the priest had taken off his robes,
and was retiring, they surrounded him, and declared in voci-
ferous terms that he should not pass till he had restored to
them their good Virgin. The shrill voices of females mingled
in the tumult, and exclaimed that their Virgin had been sold
to the church of Notre Dame de Chartres for 40,000 fr. The
mayor and peace-officers, aided by a brigade of gendarmes,
vainly endeavoured to calm the tumult by remonstrances. At
length the antique figure was discovered in an obscure corner,
and re-placed in the niche it had occupied for so many ages.
Having then made the choristers chant a "Te Deum,"
the crowd dispersed, satisfied that a good work had been ac
complished. •

Mr. C. LUSHINGTON (M.P. for Ashburton) partici-
pated in the regret entertained on account of the delay that
had occurred in the redress of the Dissenters' grievances.
He denounced the cruel and intolerant persecution of
which Dr. Hampden had been the subject.—(Cheers.)
He found on looking over the accounts of Dr. Hampden's
progress, that after the publication of his Bampton Lec-
tures Lord Grenville, at that time Chancellor, nominated
him to the Principalship of St. Mary ; there was n 3 objec•
tion urged against him then ; on the contrary he had the
approbation of the whole University.—( Hear.) Next he
was appointed, by the University—(Hear)—to the lec-
tureship of moral philosophy. After that, he ventured to
express the unpalatable opinion that Dissenters might ,be
admissible into the Universities in common with members
of the Church of England. Here was the cause of the at-
,tacks upon him.—(Applause.) The Hon. Gentleman then
referred to a sermon preached by the Rev. G. Croly on the
20th of March, at St. Stephen's Walbrook. It had been
sent to him anonymously, he supposed for his conversion.—
(Laughter.) He quoted passages from it, denying that the
Dissenters had any grievances whatever, declaring that the
clergy of the Church of England never interfered in secular
matters, &c., &c. The reading of these extracts very much
amused, however little it edified the meeting.
Several other resolutions were moved and carried unani-
mously, the proposers and seconders of.which were Mr.
Edmonds, the Rev. Dr. Ross, of Kidderminster, Mr. John
Greene, of Birmingham, Dr. Morrison, and Mr. Band, from

America.
The Rev. THOMAS RussELL seconded the resolution.

From the extreme singal-- arity of this gentleman, we
duced to add a fete more anecdotes.
Many years back there was a strong contest likely to arise

in the election of a Governor, or Deputy Governor, we foget!
at this moment which, of the Bank of England, and
each
party was of course on the alert to secure the support of ae,
the holders of Bank Stock. Amongst those to whom aPPIi"
cation was made, was the 2ec.eased Mr. Jas. Wood, of Glouces-
ter. Accordingly a letter was forwarded to that gentleman,
with a request that he would Nome up to the election for the
purpose of voting. Mr. W 0,14 wrote in reply to the appl.i:
cation that Ire had no objection to pay a visit to the metropoile
in furtherance of the object submitt .ed to him, but that he inus'
havf e his expenses paid, stipulating •at the same time that the
money must be sent down to him b 'fore he started, and also
that one portion of the cost would cons is.t of a post-chaise with
four horses from Gloucester to Lend lt,', and from London
hack again to Gloucester. This demacd, so urgent was the
case considered, was acceded to, and the a mount of the esti-
mated expense remitted. The rich country' .banker,. howevr'
very coolly pocketed the, money and came .'ip to town as an

Last week some sacrilegious burglars broke into
Long Sutton Church, forced open tho boxes, scattered the
papers which they contained, and stole the clergyman's black
silk scarf. Several other articles were collected, but not car-
ried off, as the thieves seemed to have been disturbed and
alarmed during their depredations.
NEW MANURE.--We observe from an atlvertise-
mut in our first page, that a new manure, under the chemi-
cal name of " animalized carbon," has taken the field in cont.-
petition with the bone dust. We leave our agricultural
friends in the north to test its qualities, but we understand it 1
is from 15s. to 20s. per acre cheaper than the bone manure,
and we have seen letters speaking of its virtues in the most
unqualified terms of approbation. One gentleman from Nor-
folk, Mr. Richard Taylor, states that last summer he used
three tons for turnips, and in the same field he used rape dust
and also bones ; he put on for turnips half a ton an acre, with
a slight dressing of manure, and half a ton of bones per
acre and manure, and half a ton of rape dust per acre and
manure—in the same proportion, and all in the same
field. The result was, that where he used carbon, the tur-
nips were by far the best, and were less injured by the fly.
The Duke of Portland had ten tons for turnips, and the pro-
duce was as good, if not better, than where bones were used
on the same land. A Scottish farmer, Mr. Andrew Dal-
gairns, of Ingleston, Forfarshire, has applied the carbon as a
manure for turnips for the two last seasons with the best ef-
fect : the grass was more promising after the carbon than
the bone dust. Now, these are are practical instances of suc-
cess, and afford a fair guarantee to the most cautious farmer
that in giving the new manure a fair trial, he is not wasting
his time or means on an untried visionary speculation. We
have no doubt the respectable agents here will afford every
facility and information as to the use of the carbon.—lnver-

In consequence of an application to the Thames
Police magistrates, by Messrs. Oddie, Forster, and Lumly,
solicitors, on the part of the Duke of Buccleuch, an inquiry
has been made respecting the accident which occurred on the
night of the 30th ult., at the steam-wharf at Blackwell, to
Harriet Fox, belonging to his Grace's household. The oc-
currence nearly proved fatal to another female, a Mrs. God-
den, the wife of a groom in the Duke of Cleveland's estab-
lishment, who has since been severely ill, in consequence of
the fright occasioned by her immersion in the water. On the
night in question, the deceased, accompanied by her niece, Ca-
roline Fox, who had engaged a passage in the Soho, to pro-
ceed to Scotland, went on board between 9 and 10. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Godden, Mr. Rotherham, of Crown-
street, Soho-square, and Mr. Brown, under-butler, to his
Grace. The females having secured their cabins, were in-
vited by their friends to go ashore until the vessel was ready
to start, and partake of some refreshment at the Brunswick
Hotel. Caroline Fox crossed over the gangway-board leading
from the vessel to the wharf, and was followed by Mrs. Godden
and her aunt, when, just as the girl stepped on the pier, she felt
the board moving, and turning round found it had slipped and
given way, with her aunt and Mrs. Godden upon it. They
fell between the steamer and the wharf into the water close to
the paddle-box, and screamed aloud for help. Alexander
Lyon, who was outside the vessel, closing-in the ports, imme-
diately jumped into a boat alongside, and succeeded in saving
Mrs. Godden, who had clung to the board, after she had
been in the water four or five minutes. She was quite
exhausted, and was taken to the Brunswick, where she
remained several days before she was removed. In the midst
of the confusion the deceased was forgotten, until Mr. Rother-
ham, whose foot was on the plank when it gave way, and nar-
rowly escaped by jumping backwards, called out that
another woman was in the water ; the drags were thrown out
and the second mate of the Soho went down the wheel into
the water, in the hope of finding her there, but all efforts to
save her were unsuccessful. It is supposed she was stunned
by a blow she received in falling, and was carried under the
vessel. She had been attached to the Duke's establishment
npwards of seven years, war. of exemplary character, and held
in high esteem.
