THOMAS KING, Secretax:

AT a MEETING for CONFERENCE,
between the UNITED COMMITTEE appointed
to obtain the REDRESS of the GRIEVANCES of
DISSENTERS, and DEPUTIES from various parts of
the country, sommoned especially for the purpose, -held at
the City of London Tavern, on Thursday, May 8, 1834 ;

EDWARD BAINES, Esq. , 1%1. P., in the Chair;

Moved by the Rev. JOHN ANGELL JAMES, of Birming-
ham ; seconded by Colonel ADDISON, of Chilton Hall,
near Sudbury; supported by THOMAS HA RBOTT LE,
Esq., of Manchester, and the Rev. JOSEPII GILBERT,
of Nottingham ; and resolved,
That this Meeting recognises the great and leading print
ciple of full and complete separation of Church and State
as the true basis on which equal rights and justice can be
secured to all classes of his Majesty's subjects.
Moved by JOSIAH CONDER, Esq., of Watford; seconded
by THOMAS WILSON, Esti., of Highbury • and resolved,
That this Meeting cannot lint express their deep regret
that the reasonable expectations of Dissenters, founded on
the admission by his Majesty's Ministers of the justice of
their c'aims, and on the repeated assurances of a desire on
their part to grant relief, have been frustrated by Lord
John Russell's Dissenters' Marriage Bill, and by Lord
Althorp's propositions respecting Church rates, the only
measures which the Government have hitherto introduced
into Parliament for the relief of Dissenters.

Moved by the Rev. T. STRATTEN, of Hull; seconded by
W. HOWITT, Esq., of Nottingham; and resolved,
. . . .. .

That this Meeting concurs in the objections which have
been made by the United Committee to the Marriage Bill,
and especially to the propositions respecting church rates,
which they consider fallacious and altogether unsatisfac-
tory, inasmuch as while they change the name they prolong
the duration of a burden from which Dissenters have al-
ready, in many parishes, procured either partial or entire
relief, and also give new energy to a principle against
which they have strongly protested as impolitic and unjust.
Moved by the Rev. RICIIARD WINTER HAMILTON of
Leeds ; seconded by the Rev. J. R. BEARD, of Alan-
chester ; and resolved,

That this Meeting entertains a full conviction that the
English Episcopal Church possesses, in the property now
at her disposal, and in the wealth of her individual mem-
bers, resources abundantly adequate to defray all the ex-
penses of upholding the edifices in which her members
worship, and feels entitled to claim the entire abolition of
all imposts for that purpose, upon the same principles of
expediency and justice which induced Parliament to abolish
church cess in Ireland.
Moved by the Rev. Dr. REDFORD, of Worcester ; seconded
by SAMUEL CLAPHAM, Esq., of Leeds; and resolved,
That the individuals now present, acquiescing in the
declaration made by one of his Majesty's Ministers, that
it is a grievance for any class of religious professors to be
taxed for the support of a church to which they do not
belong, engage to take all constitutional measures to op-
pose the adoption of the proposed plan respecting church
rates, and to secure the perfect enjoyment of their religious
rights.
- -

Moved by JAMES BALDWIN BROWN, Esq., LL.D., of
London; seconded by EBENEZER FOSTER, Esq., of
Cambridge ; and resolved,
That a deputation from this meeting wait on Lord Al-
thorp, to communicate their sentiments relative to the
measure which his Lordship has introduced concerning
church rates, and that the deputation consist of the fol-
lowing Gentlemen :
Edward Baines, Esq., M.P. Rev. J. Gilbert, Nottingham

Moved by the Rev. Dr. PAYNE, of Exeter ; seconded by
the Rev. JOHN SIBREE, of Coventry ; and resolved,
That the Deputation report the result of their interview
with Lord Althorp to the United Committee.
Moved by the Rev. JOHN HOWARD HINTON, of Reading;
seconded by WILLIAM Max, Esq., of Ipswich; and
resolved,
That this Meeting recommends the formation of Volun-
tary Church Societies in London and throughout the
country, for the purpose of diffusing the great principle
maintained by such Associations among the inhabitants of
the United Kingdom.
Moved by ROBERT HENRY ABERDEIN, Esq. of Honiton ;
seconded by ABRAHAM CLARK, Esq., of Newport, Isle
Of Wight; and resolved,
That the Deputies now present will take immediate
measures for personally communicating with the Members
of Parliament for their respective counties, cities, and bo-
roughs, upon the Resolutions passed this day, and that they
report the result to the United Committee.
