TO THE EDITOR OF THE WESTERN TIMES.

Chumleigh, Sept. 15, 1834.
" SIR—I beg to hand a copy of a letter written by the cler-
gyman of the small parish of Boncley, Devon, and addressed
to Mr Western, a respectable landed proprietor of the same
parish, who refused to sign the'church and state petition :
" Boncley, Aug. 27, 1834.
" SIR—My fixed determination about the part of the glebe
you are farming is, that from Michaelmas next you pay an ad-
ditional 31. per annum. I also insist upon its being dressed as
I ordered. If you treat the land contrary to the custom of the
country, I shall bring an action against you. You are to do
as I command, and have no will of your own in this case.
You may consider yourself fortunate in having escaped a good
horsewhipping the other day, for your insults on me; any
repetition of the same will be most seriously visited. I once
considered you a respectable man ; but I augur very ill of a
person who loses all respect for his superiors. lam sorry to
inform you that you are the only melancholy instance of a
farmer being drunk in this parish, when I went round the other
day for signatures to a paper.* If ever I find you so again
you will be fined five shillings. I forbade you ever speaking
tome. If I tithe in kind with any one, it will be for no less a
period than seven years. If you know not how to behave
submissively and respectfully, it is my duty to teach you. I
have great regard for your wife and family, but extreme pity
for yourself. I will never consent to see you inside my house,
except it is to ask pardon on your knees. I shall be obliged
to discharge you from the office of churchwarden ; and I shall
not allow you to have a lease, nor to keep the portion of glebe
you at present hold, longer than the law allows ; take this as
a notice to quit. I shall settle the business with my attorney.
Yours, &c., "H. J. HUTTON."
"P. S.—Keep this notice. I have a copy."

tition in favour of the union between church and state.—Western

BANK OF ENGLAND.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning a Meeting of the Proprietors of 133
Stock took place at the Bank of England, for the purP,°'-,
of proceeding with the election of a Governor, in the Place
of Mr. Raikes, who had disqualified, and since WO
bankrupt. a Pets Deputy Governor (Mr. PATTESON) and -
proprietors only were present.

Mr. YouNG wished to know whether the prop'
stock were at liberty to ask any questions at a meeting' of
the present ; if they were, he should take the liberty v
putting one which he considered it essential should be ar
swered, for the sake of the Bank and community at loge'
Under the peculiar circumstances which had lately'takhl
place with respect to the highest officer of the
thought proprietors ought now to be allowed to ask
questions they might think fit.
"‘,l to
Mr. PATTESON said that it certainly was unusti;of
enter into discussions at Courts held for the purP°s'
electing a Governor ; but under the peculiar circumstlel-at
he should have no objection to answering any questions tLe
proprietors might wish to put to him. To any questions
would give such replies as he had it in his power to 01°.
Mr. YOUNG considered that the peculiar situation
c'
which the Bank was placed with reference to Mr. 1181,1';
connexion with it, demanded that answers should be b 0,
to the results likely to ensue to the Bank from that c° (
nexion. He would therefore ask whether the condition;
the Bank was in any way prejudiced or the interests of the
proprietors in any way compromised by the failure of
late Governor ?—(Hear, hear.) r.„„rt of
Mr. PATTESON said certainly not. Indeed the uv-that
Directors had thought proper to issue a notice, stating
r.,
the late Governor had not availed himself of any of the P

vileges which the Bank all.
A Paornivron thoughtowe that further discussion OP tbaa6
subject would be attended with no beneficial effects, abas
ought not to take place. He would therefore move t.;th
the election of a Governor, should be proceeded
instanter.
Mr. YOUNG would be most happy to second that nl,3,cre
tion ; but he thought that in the present situation of
Bank,—considering its connexion with the Government':o
the commercial interests of the country, some nic''",ce
ought to he taken to prevent the possibility of a recurrei,is
of the event which had excited so much interest. rector
own part he considered it so essential that something s`'4,lb.
be done, that at the next meeting he would bring of
ject forward before the Court, with a view, if pons doubt
providing some measures to place beyond a ~ho
the condition and responsibility of the parties sio
should be elected to the chair. He thought that
the interests of the country demanded that orneth'uty
should be done. He wished to know from the Tt'oo
Governor whether the late Governor had accomni°'3

in the way of discounts? A n ver
Mr. PATTESON said that he had not. He had -
asked or received accommodation in that way.
Mr. YOUNG considered the parties who were &PPbllt°l at
Directors ought to be beyond the chance of failure ;
the same time he thought they should be allowed t°,3eot
discounts. He wished to know whether the State:i*4
which had been circulated of Mr. Raikes having &V')

Mr. PATTESON said it was not true, at the same ,iifY
observing, that if a Director or Governor was to disci/it' ire
it would be known almost instantly to the Court of -voci
tors, who would instantly take means to fill up the Yac
which that disqualification had occasioned. the
