A sly
„, ght opposition was offered to the resolution by a few Chartist=, who had coif',
turbine the
meeting; le et it was passed with only three dissen-
tient.veices. -
The Rev. H. BAT
,LEY moved, " That the Corn and Provi-
sion taxes (exacted fur the exclusive benefit of a few, and not
for the purpose of revenue), by denying the right of the peo-
ePle to exchange die labour of their hands for the food and
other products of other countries, are the chief causes of the
present smear r alleled depression in trade, and the intense and
aggravated sr ,iferines
g of the people; and that they are unjust,
eanchristian, and unscriptural." The Rev. Gentleman„ in an
eloquent sr,; eeen, convinced the meeting of the truth of the re-
solution.
The R ev. J. WADDINGTON seconded the resolution, which
wad one nimously passed.
He '...!oreocx, Esq., Town •clerk, moved the third resolution,
svhich, was to the effect, that a memorial be presented to the
Quo an, praying her Majesty not to prorogue the two Houses
of F. arliament- until they had entered upon a full consideration

is 'exceedingly improbable. 'fhe murderer is
not yet a-

he committed suicide by throwing himself into the
'names. immediately after the perpetration of his atrocious

there all further traces of him were lost. If he yet lives
the police have no clue to the place of his retreat, but the
probability is that he has drowned himself. The greatest ex-
citement prevails in the neighbourhood, and notwithstaning
the drenching rain which has continued all the morning, the
street opposite the house of the late unfortunate Mr. Burden
has been crowded to excess.

THE BISHOP AND PARSON.
TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR—Your Paper of yesterday contained a couple of letters
which passed recently between a Devonshire Incumbent and
his renowned Diocesan, Bishop Philpotts' of Exeter. The
upshot of the correspondence is, that the Bishop boln.ily took
up the gauntlet which the Rev. Gentleman had thrown down,
and the public are to be amused by a religious discussion about
Articles of Faith, which are subscribed to much more fre-
quently than they are believed.
It Las been said, that " he who sits in a glass-house should
beware of throwing stones ;" and in like manner ought an
English Bishop to beware of raising, a controversy upon the
antiquated Articles and Canons of our Act of Parliament reli-
gion. Every prudent Churchman had rather let error take
deeper root from year to year, than risk the consequences of an
attempt to amend by assembling a Convocation for despatch of
business. With a silent Convocation, heresy, perjury, negli-
genre, and their numerous kindred, cannot, be corrected ; and
it being well known, both at Lambeth and it Bishopsthorpe,
that an attempt at religious Reform would increase the evils
instead of removing them, no attention is now paid to anything
but the temporalities of the Church.

ready ai all times to give his humble support in effecting their
repeal. The Ministers having made their Report, which was
most f avourably received, the meeting separated.—Carlisle

CAMBERWELL.
meeting of the Camberwell and Peckham Auxiliary Anti-
Ce rn-law Associations was yesterday held in the Lecture
Er ,orn, Hill-street, Peckham, for the purpose of memorialising
er Majesty not to consent to the prorogation of Parliament
.ntil the distressed state of the country should be taken into
'consideration, and measures adopted with a view to the re-
moval of the exciting cause of that distress, the Corn-laws.
Mr. Wimktesoe was called to the Chair, and opened the
business of the meeting.
Mr. BLACKBOURN proposed the first resolution—" That
this me:eting views, with deep concern, the constant recur-
rence of distress amongst the manufacturing and labouring
classes of this country; that in the op.nion of this meeting,
the ,itagnation of trade, and the high price of food, the mani-
fest, cause of such distress, are occasioned by unjust and im-
-politic laws, which prevent the free exchange of our labour
with the superabundant agricultitral produce of other nations."
—( Hear.) Mr. Blackbourn supported his resolution in a long
..tutd eloquent address. He dw sit upon the misery which at
"present prevailed in the manufricturing districts. In Rochdale
rthere were 176 families, card' individual of which subsisted
upon 6d. a week each ; and 291 families subsisting upon RM.
per week each individual ; t.here were also in Rochdale upwards
of 3,669 families subsistin't upon an average on Is. bd. per
week each individual.— ( Hear.) These distresses were the
effects of the Coat-law',—they were the effects of laws which
kept labour from. rece,viug its just reward, by closing foreign
markets against our productions, and prohibiting the surplus
grain of corn-gr owing countries from being imported, and so
relieving the dis4xess v;hich subsisted to such a degree.
Mr. Pritur 1 ;Row N seconded the resolution, which was
'unanimously carried.
Some disturlaance took place here, in consequence of the re-
ested interru ptiores of the renowned Captain Ackerley, who at
length becae Je su.ch a nuisance as to be obliged to be served
with a forci' ale ejectment, aftei which the business of the meet-
ing procee'ied smoothly.
Mr. lit.E.r.eis rose to propose the next resolution, praying
that-her .1w lajestv will not consent to the prorogation of _
liament, &c. It would be observed, that it was not to the
House of. Commons, which had so often treated the pee:`ie,sbie-
titions with- neglect, but to the Queen—to a
,v ~,,
, „a an'd
moths c—who had never refused to listen to 'the wants and
the -prayers of her pople, that this 'in..morial was to
be pr esented. He trusted she would upon her people for
supp art,
she 'could find others who would Would it be credited that
this country would submit tot
/lie domination of a Cabinet whose
policy was to male food and work scarce? The markets
'oft he world world be of ten to us—the agricultural productions
of the world would be, at our service—were it not for such keys
as the Duke a.; threkingham and Sir Edward Knatchbuil.—
(Lokud cheers ;)
J°Hll STOVE seconded the motion, and the meeting ad-
journed.

The Bish-op of Exeter, however, is about to try his hand
with a matter which the rest o 5 the Episcopal Bench have
shrunk from with fear and alarm. " Alay God give bins is
good deliverance," as says the Sergeant of the Court when a
Peer of the realm is to be tried on a capital charge; but I
augur otherwise : for let an inquiry into Church of Englandism
be once begun by authority, and who will be able to say where
it is to end, or in what it will end? The Bishop, then, may
turn out perchance to be nothing else but a puppet in the
hands of an invisible agent, who for some very wise reasons
may select him as the instrument for giving a practical illus-
tration of that well-known adage, " Quem Deus run perdere
prius dementut.".

I remain, Hr. Editor, your's most obediently,

FUNDING of EXCHEQUER BILLS.

The following answer has been returned by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to parties who had applied to
him respecting the proposal for funding Excheqw,„
Bills :

" Downing-street, Sept. 22, -(6,11.
" Sir—l have had the honour of receivine%
your letter,
in which you state that a doubt exists in tk, minds of
many persons whether, under the
ProPo'':al for funding
Exchequer Bills, of which notice basken given at the
Bank, it will be competent to p:-..4rscribers to make half
the deposit in money ; '.. and
----- L 4 acquaint you that parties
are at liberty to make .".all the deposit in money it they
should prefer that 'aiurse, or if after having made a de-
posit entirely in. Exchequer Bills they should disposed
o pay the w..sole of any subsequent instal.tnent in money,
:they. wil2t be at liberty to do so on 'the terms specified

money paid does not oxceel one-half of the whole sum

A Coininissary of Police, some days back, en-
tered the shop of M. Picchi, a dealer in staluettes, and seized
one representing the Duke de Bordeaux, and another called the
Venus a la Rose, for selling which he had not obtained the re-
quired license. While the Commissary was drawing up the
proces-rerbal, M. Picchi, in his rage, smashed the statuettes
of the Duke de Bordeaux to atoms. 111. Picchi was yesterday
sentenced by the Correctional 'frit:tine to ten days' imprison-

and dischargee!.
" A prinsseller," says the Commerce," thinking
that the arrival of the Duke d'Aumale afforded a good oppor-

portrait of his Royal Highness. Unfortunately he chose an
old plate of the Prince when mue't younger, ant!, of course,
without his Colonel's uniform, his tri,,uqachicrs, or any indi•
cation of his African campaign. On account of these omis-
sions the necessary licence far 1 üblication was refused by the
censors, and the s'rintseller has had the whole of the impres-
sion left as a deadweight on his hands."
