CHURCH RATES.

(To the Editor of the Carmarthen Journal.)
Sir,—As the time is now /mi approaching when ti:;
newly-elected Churchwardens are about to enter tipLs
their various important duties, I feel a pleasure in info;
them, that if any of them should find the least d '"
culty as regards the making of Rates, for procuring
various articles which they are, by law, bound to bbta.n.
by application to me, I will direct them in the way u'
proceeding safely in procuring such supplies : and if an,
opposition should be offered by the friends of Infidel,
and Popery ( falsely calling themselves Protestant .D,..
centers), to the obtaining such funds, I shall be gratifi,
to put the Churchwardens in the way to adopt such mea-
sures as will save them harmless and will oblige the chiefest
and stoutest recusants in any parish themselves to make a
Rate, or be committed to prison until they ',urge tin -
contumacy.

I am far from taking any pleasure in these things. but
think that it is high time for the friends of true religini:
and of social order to make an attempt to open the cp.,
of those who are the dupes of artful and designing men,
who so barefacedly make a trade and a tramc of poor men's
consciences. lam your's truly,
EBENEZER MORRIS,
Vicar of Llanelly.

TIME.

Take four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the
New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a
nun of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with-
out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet high, three
barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons
et water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument.
The number of seconds required with one pump less than
with the ether, will be its gain in time and labour.
The competitors should find the pumps and the public the
pipes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew
as much about raising water as sucking monkeys.
Well, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo-
sition (Ne.smarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun-
tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the
delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering
of 6,000 imperial gallons of water per minute.
And now to congratulate all nations upon the complete suc-
cess of an invention of boundless and undying utility, which
nature bars surpassing, is highly gratifying

Obedient Servant and Instructor,
W. SHALDERS.

Bank Place Norwich, March 26, 1840.

P.S.--No work is worse done then that of raising water.
Respecting force and resistance. both town and country
Pump-tatakers seem most gloriously ignorant.
I inquired of two men pumping, between London-bridge and
the Tunnel, how long it took them to fill their six-barrel water
cart. lift thirteen feet'—Answer : About seven minutes, quick
working.
With a No. Six New Plan they could have done the like
work in seventy seconds.
One Fountain Pump would about equal all the three Coekney
built Friction Pumps at the Qtmn'a Barrack:, v
orwich.

ENENING

CHARACTER OF THE CHURCH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

have just now read in this day's leto.-
ing article of your journal, remarks upon compara-
tive crime in England and Ireland ; the striking
truth of them has induced me, an artizan, to sit
down and send you a few ideas, which may be c4.m-
sidered of value when coming from a person wits? is
cariftilly watching the current of sympathyllind
feeling amongst his own class.
Tine Church Establishment is making a great
stir at: peseta against Popery. I wish to tell the
Chur,:h the opinion of all my acquaintances who
are, like myself, mechanics—the opinion of all those
with whom I have spoken upon the subject, and
:hey were taken at random.
Not one thought the Church of England a poor
man's friend ; many had ridiculous notions upon
the subject, but all were agreed upon this point.
They all believe that the cler,,ymen of the Esta-
blishment are much more anxious for two or more
places, than for the salvation of one soul. The
o:erav confound the Establishment with Chris-
tia

The people, in consequence, never go to Church
or Chapel.

They believe that a pastor, who is a Magistrate,
is the most unfeeliiv creature of God's creation.
They hate him. They believe themse!res wronged
and injured in every quarter, but, above all, by the
priesthood. They are quiet because they cannot
resist.

This, Sir, is, I believe, an unbiassed picture of
the rnav,cs. I wou.d have the Church pause and,
consider whether it is not her ownsell that is spread-
ing infidelity. I would have our rulets reflect upon the
safety of the nation's position when the ttamuillity
of the body depends upon keeping a rising hopeless.
Most respectfully,
A TIN PLATE WORKER..

CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.

P 3 CORRESPONDENT.)
At length the Tories hat'c a►tcceeded in rocuring a
Candidate for the ensuing election, in the person of Sir
Alexander Grant. A meeting was held 00 the Conserva-
tive interest on Saturday last at the Eagle, Tibia was
very numerously attended ; but the greater portion of the
company consisted of the Undergraduates of the University.
Mr. Fisher (the individual who fainted and was seized
with convulsions while giving his evidence before the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons upon the merits of the
petition against the return of Mr. Sutton) took the chair.
His appearance was hailed with loud cheers. Numerous
speeches were made on the occasion:; among others a vio-
lent one by Mr. Manners Sutton, who introduced Sir
Alex. Grant, and recommended him as a fit and proper
person to represent the borough. Sir Alexander then ad-
dressed the meeting and said, if they returned him as their
representative they might depend on his energies to up-
hold the dignity of the Constitution, the supremacy of the
church, and the interests of the agricultural community.

UNION BANK OF LONDON.

The first-annual meeting of the Directors and Pro-
prietors of the Union Bank of London, took place yester-
day, at the Company's-offices, Moorgate-street. The
Chair was taken by Sir Peter Laurie, Chairman of the
Board of Directors, and at twelve o'clock, the hour
appointed for commencing the proceedings, the room
was crowded in every part.

The CHAIRMAN having read the requisition con-
vening the meeting, called upon the Secretary to read
the Report.
The SERETARY then read the Report,'which detailed
at some length the proceedings of the Company since
its establishment. The paid up capital of the Company
amounted to 210,000/. and the surplus profits to
16,5181. The Directors had declared a dividend of 5
per cent. on all pa:d up capital, leaving an ample
allowance for bad and doubtful debts, and a sum of
2,000/. to form a Reserve Fuji. The Report was
received with loud cheers.

Mr. MAITLAND, a proprietor, moved the adoption of
the It-port, and congratulated the Directors on their
prudent and judicious conduct, by which they had been
enabled, in a sealon of great commercial embarrass-
ment, to bring the undertaking to a successful
issue, and declare a dividend of 5 per cent.
on the profits of the first year. He wished to impress
upon the Proprietors generally the necessity and sound
policy of transferring their accounts to the Bank in
which they were shareholders.—(Hear, hear.) By
that means they would be enabled to participate in a
large amount of interest which it allowed upon deposits
and balances, and which in the last year amounted to
nearly 8.0001.
Mr. ROBERTSON seconded the motion, which was
put and carried unanimously.
A PROPRIETOR inquired whether it was in contem-
plation to make any further calls upon the shares, and
the Chairman stated that no such intention existed at
present, but that would be contingent upon the nature
and extent of the business they would have to transact
in the course of the next year. If any rapid increase
in their business took place another call would be ne-
cessary, of which due notice would be given.
Mr. HYNES moved a vote of thanks to the Direc-
tors for their zealous and efficient management of the
affairs of the Bank.

The motion having been seconded, was carried una.
nimously.

The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. He thought that
watching the interests of the Company, increasing their
dtvidcnds, and promoting the prosperity of the Bank,
was the best speech he could make.—(Cheers.)
Thanks were then voted to the Managers at the
principal and branch offices of the Book, and to the
Chairman for his very proper conduct in the chair ;
after which the meeting separated.

RAILWAYS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—lt was only to-day that I read some remarks
in your paper signed " A Friend to Railways," impugn-
ing an article of mine in the Railway Magazine, on
" Railway Income." The assertions of your Corre-
spondent are two-fold—first, that I have understated
the revenue and profits of railways ; and, secondly, that
I have said it is the fault of the agriculturists that the
amount of railway income is not doubled. With regard
to the first point, I admit it readily ; all the items ex-
cept the Leeds and Selby—which is an error—were
purposely under-estimated, and the expenditure over-
estimated,. that I might not in an approximate
calculation of such a nature be exposed to the contrary
charge, that of exaggerating the income and profits.
am well aware that the amount of revenue of the Bir-
mingham and others during the last half year is in a
greater ratio than I have stated ; I believe myself that
such ratio will be maintained ; but knowing, as your
the country generally does not
Correspondent must also, that the last six months'
traffic in a year is of a different character from that cf
the first six months, I should not have been justified in
taking the larger sum as an estimate.
With regard to the second point, your Correspondent
nmeuvsetr said 0 equally
contribute in some proportion to the traffic of the exist-
ing lines—that the extortion of landowners and agricul-
turists prevented the income from amounting to
five millions—or that the agricultural interest
rimplied have
misunderstood
that what I wrote. I
were adverse to the extension of the railway sys-
tem. What I said then, and what I say now, is
that a lamentable apathy exists among the agriculturists
with regard to the rail vay system, and that they were
suffering by allowing the manufacturing districts to
have the monopoly ; that they had created great diffi-
culties to the existing railways by the exorbitancy of
their demands ; and that if railways existed in the dis-
tricts now destitute of them, the income would be at
least doubled.
If your Correspondent had taken the trouble to have
read what I wrote, he has sufficient knowledge of the
subject to have solved all the difficulties he has started,
and have saved himself and me the unpleasant task cf
intruding upon your valuable columns.
I am, Sir, your moat obedient servant,
HYDE PARKE.

DURHAM COUNTY POLICE.

The following valuable testimony as to the utility of
that excellent and constitutional force the Rural Police,
in this county, would have appeared in last week's
Herald, had it not been sent by mistake to the office of
a contemporary, by whom it was not published :
‘‘ We, the yeomen, occupiers of land, and others, in
the several districts of Chester Ward, beg to state our
entire approbation of the establishment of the Rural
Police. The protection to property has been strength-
ened, and crime prevented; while trespass, road, and other
nuisances, since that force has been introduced, have
evidently been decreased. We cannot speak too highly
of the different officers and men who are engaged on this
establishment. Their general sober and attentive habits,
and readiness to act, or assist in any way where they can
be of service, as in colliery or other accidents, to which
this division of the county is so peculiarly liable, has in
many instances, to our knowledge, called forth expres-
sions extremely favourable to them ; and so far are we
from thinking it a burthen on our rates, that we con-
sider ourselves amply repaid by their protection."
Then follows a list of seventy-three names of the
most respectable men of all parts of the Ward, at the
head of which stands that of Sir Thomas John Clave-
ring, Baronet. This must be highly gratifying, not only
to the enlightened Government that framed the system,
and to the intelligent Magistracy by whom it was in-
troduced into the Palatinate ; but also to Major
\Vemyss, Chief Constable of the County, and Superin-
tendent Maddison of Chester District, whose assiduous
attention to the duties of their respective offices has
earned for them and the men under their command the
respect and applause of all the well-disposed members
of the community, among whom, and for whom, they
exercise their functions.—Sunderland Herald.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(More Mr. Justice PATTEsoN.)
The Court was occupied for several hours in the dis—
posal of two charges of capital assault upon females,
made against the persons named Cornelius Sullivan and
James Allen.

Both prisoners were convicted, and in the former
case sentence of death was recorded, and in the latter

indgmeat was respited, in consequence of a flaw in the
nclictment.

William Sims, 35, was convicted of assaulting- a wo-
man named Elizabeth Butler, with a knife.
The LEARNED JUDGE, in passing sentence, observed

that he did n.:t know to what cause to attribute it, but
it was a melancholy fact that the offence of stabbing
had increased to a most alarming extent in this coun-
try. Formerly Englishmen were content to resort to
;heir fists. the weapons with which nature had provided
them, but now, upon the slightest provocation, a knife,
or any other desperate weapon, was made use of. The
prisoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned and kept
to hard labour for twelve months.
THE CASE OF MR. GEACH.—II will be recollected
at a previous session of this Court, an indictment was
preferred against Mr. Geach, the gentleman who acted
%s sol;eitor and defended Frost, the Chartist, for mis-
demeanour, and the time was put off until this session,
and the defendant was to have appeared and taken h s
trial on Wednesday, but he did not do so.
Mr. ADOLPHUS upon this applied for the cstreat of
the recognisances of his bal.
Mr. BODKIN hoped the Court would not take this
step. Mr. Geach said he was at present confined in
the Queen's Bench prison for debt, and the Court was
aware that. this would place him in great difficulty as
Ito preparing his defence. lie had an affidavit upon
the subject, and he had every reason to believe that the
defendant would be ready to take his trial on Tues-
day, and be hoped the Court would allow the trial to
stand for that day.
Mr. ADOLPHUS said he must oppose the applica-
tion. The defendant ought to have appeared in dis-
charge of his recognizances.
After some discussion the Court consented to respite
the recognizances for one day, with the understanding
that the defendant should attend the Court, and that
the same further application should be made upon the
subject.

DOMESTIC EDUCATION.-
At BONN, Oil the RHINE.
The married Principal of a respectable Establishment,
formed in 1833 on purely domestic principles of education, is
now in London, and having a FEW VACANCIES, begs to
recommend it to the attention of Parents. It will be fully
confirmed, on inquiry, that his system possesses the great
advantage of his Pupils becoming intimately acquainted with
the German and French Language 3, whilst they are acquiring
a sound Classical and Mathematical Education. There are
two resident Masters, a Graduate of Cambridge and a German
Graduate ; and the number of Pupils is limited strictly to
Eighteen.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
The market yesterday was exceedingly dull, both
for goods arid yarns, especially the litter. The wet
unfavourable weather we are having appears to exercise
a very depressing effact upon business, coming, as it
does, in addition to the local causes of flatness ; and
the tendency of the market was downward, though
many manufacturers preferred holding on to accepting
ab•olutely lower prices at present
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 6.
—We have had an extremely flat market to-day—in-
deed very few buyers have attended—and the business
transacted has been less, if possible, than that of last
Monday. There is a prevailing belief that wool will be
loser, and that has its influence in preventing mer-
chants from purchasing. The wool market has been
quite as gloomy as the piece market, and the manu-
facturers have bought very sparingly.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY 7.—This was much
of the sante sort of market ap last week ; at any rate
nn worse. Buyers were numerous, and a fair quantity
of goods changed hands ; but they do not advance in
price, nor can a profit be realised generally upon the
nrinufacture. The unsettled state of the weather ope-
rati s unfavourably, rise a more animating state of
trade would exist. Wools may be quoted as firm at
last week' prices. The warehouses are doing an ave-
rage trade for the season.
