HOUSE AND WINDOW TAXES.

At noon this day a general meeting of the householders resi-
dent in the liberty of the Rolls and its vicinity was held in
Hopwood's large auction room, Chancery lane, for the pur-
pose of petitioning for the abolition of these taxes.

The Chair was taken by Mr. CURWOOD, the barrister, and
Mr. C. WINTER, one of the overseers, read the numerously
signed requisition which had induced him to convene the
meeting.

Upon the motion of Mr. NORTIICROFT, seconded by Mr.
STEVENS, the following resolutions were read from the Chair :
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that a firm, but
temperate, and constitutional expression of public opinion on
all questions affecting the welfare of the community is the right
and duty of Englishmen.

" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the country is
now in a crisis of great difficulty, arising chiefly from a refusal,
on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, to repeal the partial and
oppressive taxes on houses and windows; and the meeting
cannot help expressing its deep regret, that his Majesty's Mini-
. _ .

sters should feel themselves justified in refusing Co relieve the
people from those obnoxious burdens.

" That this meeting, bearing in mind the object for which
these obnoxious taxes were originally imposed, consider their
retention, after eighteen years of peace, as impoatie, unjust,
partial, and oppressive; and that they tend to weaken the
energies of the trading community, by rendering more difficult
the success of their industry, and depriving them of a portion
of their hard-earned reward.

" That in the opinion of this meeting it is practicable for his
Majesty's Ministers to accomplish such a reduction of expendi-
ture as would enable them to repeal these oppressive imposts.
" That this meeting cannot contemplate the recent refusal,
on the part of his Majesty's Mhiisters, to abolish the list of un-
merited pensions and sinecures, without feeling the gross in.
justice of their retaining the House and Window taxes in sup-
port of a system originally founded on Court influence, aristo-
craticalcombination, and corrupt practices."

. .
Mr. HALCOMB, M.P., declared his readiness to present and
support any petition they might adopt in consonance with the
above resolutic

The resolutions were carried, and a petition founded on
them agreed to. The attendance was highly respectable, and
ccnaiated, in great part, of lawyers.

Mr. REDMAN (with great warmth)—l say you did, air ; and

Mr. REDM AN—I again say that I was grossly insulted by
you last session.

The Chairman consulted the Magistrates on the bench, and
:hey fined the grand juryman in the sum of 101.

Mr. REDMAN-IVell, I don't care, I have spoken my mind.
Mr. Redman then left the Court with the Grand Jury.

MANCHESTER.-REFUSAL OF CHURCH

RATES.

(Abridged from the Manchester Times.)
CHURCHWARDENS' ACCOUNTS. ••••-ANN VA L VESTRY

MFETING.

A meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Manches-
ter, in public vestry, was held at the Collegiate Church
on Monday, for the purpose of lasing before the pa-
rishioners the accounts of the church wartlens for the past
yea., and to consider and determine upon the rate which
will be required for the needful repairs of the church,
church-yard, and other purposes, for the year ensuing.
The Rev. C. D. WRAY took the Chair.
THE CHURCH RATE.
Mr. WITHINCToN then moved that a halrperiny in the
pound he assessed anti raised by the churchwardens upon
the property in the parish of Manchester, to defray the
cost of repairs of the parish church, and for other inci-
dental expenses.
Mr. JAMES WOOD seconded the motion.
Mr. GEORGE HADFIELD rose to propose an amend-
ment. He entered into the feelings of Mr. Wood, when
he heard him state that it was by compulsion that many
of the payments were made. But was it by compul-ion
and by Act of Parliament that t. ey were to support the
worship of the living God ?—( Hear, hear, hear.) He
was thankful that the Established Church did not enrol
him among its list of memi,era. Ha held her doctrine.—
evt ry one of them—but he dissent.' from her discipline;
and her connection with the State he would do his utmost
to put an end to.—(Hear.) Between the 0 urch and
State there ought to he no connection—such a connection
ought not to exist for one moment.---( Hear.) This opi-
nion now inspired every mind ; and it at last, though
tardily yet still it had by the compulsion of public opi-
nion—forced itself upon the consideration of those who
were closely in the Councils of his Majesty ; and they had
declared their intention of bringing in a all for the re-
firm of the Church of England.—(Hear.) Mr. Hadfield
proceeded to read his amendment. He hoped the Bill in
question would give relief to all classes from the com-
pulsory payment of church rates, particularly those
who, like himself, conscientiously dissented from the
tenets of the Church of England.—(Hear, and cheers.)
This meeting must determine whether they would fix the
whole parish with a rate for the support of an establish-
ment, of which the majority of the inhabitants disap-
proved. How singularly were we placed in this town.
There were actually two church establishments in this
country, recoenised by law, the Established Church of
England, and the Presbyterian or Established Church of
Scotland; and such was the Christian I cling existing
between the two churches, that if Dr. Chalmers, who
belonged to one of them, anti h.lll the sane dectrines as
are entertained by the other, were to conic into the town,
their worthy Chairman durat not invite him into the
pulpit of that pa' WI church. With the law thus in their
favour, he would ask the meeting whether they would
amerce the Dissenters in the way proposed ? Nay, he
would tell them that it wis a growing opinion in the
church itself, which was daily becoming stronger and
stronger, that its political character tented in no small
decree to bear it down, and that, by leaving the church
to itself, in a few years it would break itself down.—
(Cheer'.) Then would the meeting sanction the power
to tax him. a Dissenter, when he was excluded from the
benefits of that. taxation ? He was kept out from the uni-
versities; for lie could not send his son thither without
polluting his conscience, as a test was exac'ed which lie
ertuld not give. He turned from the wrong thus in-
flicted with disgust, and was obliged to s lad his son
to a land of greater liberty, to receive an education
without his conscience beirg violated. What value could
thy set upon the principles of a church which, with a
revenue of about three millions and a half. should call
upon that large perish for a paltry surn of 1,0001., which
they le tiled to raise themselves? And what was the
a notint of religious instruction administer% d in this mighty
parish by that church ? 'Why, literally next to notting
beyond what was dispensed within those wal:a.—(Heoe)
It was a great reflection on the religious institutions of
th a country that religious instruction was not more largely
dapetiaed aiming, the Lamming poor. A Bill w an-
ts lanced in the House of Commons for a Ref nal of the
Catirch. The Catholics of Ireland had alteaey, or were
a'iout to b-, relieved from the church-rate; and he, as a
D ',sewer, asked the meeting to join wi.h him in stopping
.he rate until they could obtain the same exemption.—
(1-1-ar.) Mr. Hadfield c,nclu,led by moving his amend-
man*, which was to the f effeet;—
" That as there is a sum of 7361. in hand, and 1001. to collect,
and inasmuch as a Bull has been announced for a reform of the
English Church, by which it may be expected that church rates
will be totally abolished, this meeting be adjourned to this day
six months, in the hope that the intended bill will give effectual
relief against compulsory rates to all classes of the community,
and especially to those who conscientiously dissent from the
Church of England."
11 r. TficimAs PoTTER, seconded the resolution.
ob.. S. FLETCHER did not like the proceeding of ad-
jiitirniog the question.__( Hisses.) As a Dissenter, he
ohjacied to the pay nient ii die clutch ra'e ; it was wrong
it; piincipl ,; and he hoped the day oas not distant wh•n
lie should he xempted fi,•111 the impost ; but he would
continue to pay t:.e rate while it continuttl to have the
sanction of the law oldie 'and, and would near be a party
to meeting the quastion iii the way proposed. It was
essential in the administration of parish law that the whole
palish should be appealed to, and riot that the zitfiirs o
210,000 persons should he decided by I.soo—about the
-umber he supposed which was then present.—(A cry of
" Six to one.") What ! should not the poor man who
was labouring in the factory--a(Oh, rub !)—should not the

poor tnan who was labour.ng at the loom—(0h, oh !)
Mr. E. DIXON—For God's sake, let us hear this mi-
serahte sophist to the end, for we can put his whole
sophistry into a nut-shill.—(Hear, and laughter )
Mr. FL ETCH ER contended that an appeal to the whole
parish was 'he law of the land.

Mr. Ducorr said, that they were told that the course
they contended for would be destructive of liberty. N-ither
Sturges Bourne nor M. Fletcher could destroy the liberty
~f the and. Libel ty Wits deeply stated in his mind, and
he would defy any one to destroy it. Tyrants might burn
his body, or saw it asunder, or hang him heels upwards;
but liberty—pure, blessed liberty—was the birth-right wf
every one of Christ's disciples ; for they who were made
free by Christ were free indeed.—(Cheers.)
Mr. PRENTICE said, was it decent to call for a new
12 months' rate, when it was probable that the law would
b. abrogated in slx months, and when the Churchwardens
had a six months expenditure in hand? If a rate were
laid, he for one would not pay, and the authorities might
distrain—(Hear, heat)—but he would take care that the
public stma" be acquainted with the fact; and that they
would then see whether the outraged feelings of the people
would allow of distraints for such purposes.
Mr. HADFIELD—Throw open the appointments in the
church to put lic suffrage, and that will do. He would
not have these appointments in the Lord Chancellor, or
even in the survivors of the Collegiate Body. There was
not a class in the whole body of Dissenters who would not
be ashamed to appeal beyond their own congregation for
the payment of their own debts and expenses.
The amendment was then put, when almo.t every per-
son in the Church, with the exception of those in tee
churchwardens' pew, held up his hand for it. When
the negative was put, those in the pew held up their
and., and their vote was received with loud cries
of " Oh !"

A scene of great uproar now ensued. The Chairman
maintained that the originll motion must be put ; and
Mr. Italfiel I contended that the m ijority upon his amend-
ment necessarily set aside the original motion. The Ch,ir•
man, however, persisted in putting the motion, in dumb
show, after which he declared the amendment to have
heen carried.

Mr. WITHINGTON-1 demand a poll on my reiolution.
The CuAtastax announced the adjournii.ent of the
e wig to the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking a poll,
accorthng to the earns of the notice, and forthwith left
the chair.

(Second Edition, Times-office, Saturdsy, Six o'Clock.)
The poll commenced this morning with undiminished
spirit by both parties, but when it was known that ►he

pp.isers of the rate were training rapidly in nutnber,
many persons who had held back, de-pairing of success,
came forward to con•utntoate the victory. About two
the excitement bec.aue extrrtsie, as it was then
doubtful which party would wio. At the close of thi,
0911, the scene at the front of, and within the Town-call,
rival) d that ex',i',ited at a warmly-contested election for
Alettioers nt liaini-ut.

Exactly four o'ciock the doors of the Town ILA were
closed, and the Rev. C. D. WRAY, the Chid, man, pio.
eeeded to ascertain the number of votes. In about a
laarter of an h,.ur he announced the votes to be as

LONDON,
14()NDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1883.

eo Correspondent, on whose information, re-
Ical3l e ash may appear,in the present instance,
tit:ave reason to place reliance, has communi-
kit to us the copy of a letter written by the
of ORLEANS to his father, shortly after
k:Ptival in this country. In this letter his
Highness states, that he was about to
London for Windsor, after having had
interviews with the KlNG—one pirate, the
iltei.t at the Levee. He informs his father that
IiING had spoken to him a great deal of
ttt'
ttls PHILIP, and of the former Duke of
}MEANS, but that the conversation had not
httturned upon politics. At Windsor, how-
-1),41;41ere his Royal Highness was going for
leittys, he intended to give the conversation a
11 4°4 tom. His Royal Highness states that the
tlqb t 4
had given him a most gracious recep-
tt,"t'd had even bitterly scolded the Duke of
Wd,tte
RLAND for having signified an intention
IIA~ Citing precedency with the Duke of OR•
44 a at the levee ; a threat, however, which he
tt°t carried into execution, having, on the
hi,
h ;tl' shown great civility to the young Duke.
tlal Highness, however, observes that
kiN;tlice of CUMBERLAND embarrasses the
440i4 good deal, and seizes every opportunity
titiihlt injury to the French Roal

tercourse which I have had with the corps diplo-
matique I am convinced, with respect to Bel-
gium, that LEOPOLD has nothing to hope for
from the three Courts of the North."

The D„ke of ORLEANS concludes this letter
by announcing his intention of making an excur-
sion to Manchester and Liverpool, anti return-
ing to Paris by the 15th of June, unless
his father should give him fresh instructions
as to his Linerary.

In a postscript, he says—" The Prince de
TALLEYRAND has charged tre to remind your
Majesty of the entreaty which he had already
made, that you would not liberate the Duchess
de BERRI exr eut in virtue of a general amp est
he reminds you of the maxim of VAUEN-
A RGUES,—" (,due la climence e t quelque fois
de la prudence."
Strange as this letter appears, there is another
written by his Royal Highnes to the QUEEN,
his mother, which is still more curious. His
Royal Highness, alluding to the news of the
accouchement and pretended marriage of the
Duchess de BERRI, says, " I have heard,
with infinite satisfaction, the news of the
happy event which has augmented the num-
ber of Princesses of our race. Illustrious
arid Noble House of Sicily, that thus
unexpectedly finds its chance of perpetuity in-
creased, I am quite sure that Nemours must
be as flattered as my-elf with the improvised
alliance with the celebrated House of the Counts
HECTOR LUCCHESI PALLI, Princes of
CAMPO FRANCO, &c. &c., the expedient was
admirable—in fact, it is quite as good to be the
husband of a Princess of Naples, Regent of
France, and, besides, Duke in partibus of Blaye,
as to be Second Secretary of Legation at the
Hague."

Here ends all that we have received of the
correspondence of the Duke of ORLEANS with
his illustrious parents. Without absolutely
pledging ourselves for its authenticity, we feel it
right to observe, from the way in which it has
reached us, that we have little doubt upon the
subject.

The latest authentic accounts from Lisbon
state that considerable consternation had been
created among the Ministers of Don MIGUEL,
by a report that Captain NAPIER would, with
a portion of the Constitutional squadron and
six or !even steamers, make an attempt to land
a considerable number of troops at Lisbon,
where a very large portion of the inhabitants are
ready to welcome the Constitutionalitss. We
have reason to believe that this report is nor
altogether unfounded. Should Captain NAPIER
be able to embark from two to three thousand
men on board the steamers, he would have very
little difficulty, supported by a few frigates, in
forcing his way up the Tagus, and landing his
troops at the Cries do Sodie, where he would
be immediately joined by thousands of the
inhabitants.

The following is an extract from a letter, dated
off Lisbon, May 16, 1833:

" His Majeat,'. ste inter Confiance arrived here from
Falmouth un Wednesday the 15th instant, bringing the
news th it B.r Ptoteney Nla'eoltn might he eadected t,ut

no English medical men ate admitted to see the
p Aients. The want of any active mode Of treatment by
t e Portuguese medical ni,n, I believe, has much increased
the mortality of the disease. o.tly two English families
have been attacked by the disease."

We hare received letters from Vigo, dated
14th instant. They state that the conduct of
the Spanish authorities toward.; Admiral SAR-
ToRIUS had, in consequence of orders from the
Government, been atrocious. They had prohi-
bited the supply of provi.ions to the Constitu-
tional fleet, even on pain of death.

The Ministerial papers here and in Paris are
perfectly ludicrous in their mode of treating the
present state of things between Holland and
Belgium. The preliminary treaty to which the
King of HOLLAND has been forced to accede
by the complaints of the Dutch merchants, who
were suffering severely by the interruption of
their commerce, is pompously styled the " set-
tlement of the Dutch question," although the
King of HOLLAND has not made one conces-
sion against his own interest. The Emperor of
RussiA, having an important game to play in
the East, and being therefore anxious to delude

the British and French Governments into a be-
lief that he is willing to abandon his Dutch ally,
so that he is left to do as he pleases in Turkey,
has probably recommended the execution of this
preliminary treaty to the King of HOLLAND ;
and the latter, being pressed on the sane side by
his own subjects, has gone farther than was ex-
oected ; but how will it he when the Emperor of
RusstA shall have increased his political in-
fluence by his unobstructed career in the East,
and the King of HOLLAND shall be called upon
to recognise the independence of Belgium and
the sovereignty of LEOPOLD ; and also to allow
the deduction from the Belgian portion of the
joint national debt of the enormous charges in-
cotred by LEOPOLD ill maintaining an army for
nearly two years on a war footing, and in ac.
eepting French iteervention ? Then will be the
time, if the King of HOLLAND should give way
in these important points, to talk of " the settle-
ment of the Dutch question."
According to all the ace mnts that we have
received f ern Holland, the Dutch Sovereign is
very far from this king his chance of recoveiina
possession of Belgium so distant as all reason-
able men regard it ; and we shall be very agree-
ably disappointed if he does not by -intrigue or
otherwise endeavour to bring about a state of.
things which will render the " settlement of the
question, by a treaty with France and Great Bri-
;ain, much more problematical than my Lord
PALMEItSTON and M. DE TALLEYRAND
would have their friends i nagine.

It is but an act of justice to vie Government
to give publicity to a statement which is made
in the Ministerial circles, relative to the late un-
fortunate affair in Coldbath-fields. The ap-
pearance of a proclamation, in whi.-th the death
of CULLY, the policeman, is described as
" murder," immediately after the verdict of a
Coroner's Jury, declaring the act to have been
justifiable homicide, naturally excited a strong
feeling in the public mind against the Govern-
ment ; as no other inference could be drawn
from the wording of the proclamation than that
Ministers were determined to treat the decision
of the tribunal, before which the inquiry into the
circumstances of CuLLY's death had taken
place, with contempt, thus setting public opi-
nion at defiance, and placing their own con-
struction of legal evidence in opposition to the
decision of a Jury constitutionally assembled, to
discuss the merits of the affair on which they had
been summoned. It is said, however, and we
believe truly, that the proclamation in question
was not submitted to any other M;nister than
Lord MELBOURNE before it was made public,
and that none of the law officers of the Crown
were consulted upon it. It is even said, but we
shall offer no opinion as to the probability of
the statement, that even Lord MELBOURNE was
rather taken by surprise when his attention was
first called to the peculiar wording of the procla-
mation. Whatever indifference may have been
shown by the present Ministers since the passing
of the Reform Bill, in their legislative charac-
ter, as connected with Parliamentary discussion,
we are bound, in candour, to admit, that they
have never in their administrative capacity, be-
trayed a want of respect for the public voice, or a
desire to remove the restraints which the Consti' u-
tion has established for the protection of the
people. The late proclamation was very much
calculated to shake the good opinion in this
respect which the public at large entertained of
Ministers; but the anxiety evinced by their
partisans to thro v the odium of that document
on some official underling is very creditable to
the Government, and may be taken as an earliest
of their determination to cultivate the esteem of
the public, instead of relying exclusively on ma-
jorities in the House of Commons. With respect
to die intentions of Ministers in the HOW very
improbable want of their being able to discover
the person who killed the policeman CULLY,
we know no more than that the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, and the Com-
missioners of Police, have been very busy since
the inquest in sit': the character of the wit-
nesses who gave evidence to the orderly conduct
oft he crowd previously to their collision with the
policeman.

The Irish Church ltaf.nu Bill exempts Dis•
sewers from the payment of rates towards the
maintenance of a church to which they do not
belong. In other words. a part of the income
of the church, which was originally intended to
perform the threefold dudes of decently sup-
potting the clergy, relieving the poor, and re-
'tailing places of worship, has been restored to
its original destinadon. Whatever other parts
of the Irish Church Bill have been complained
or, that part abolishing the church cess ham given
sati-faction to every lover of justice, to every en-
lightened f. lend of religion, and especially to
those real friends of Protestantism who have
the sagacity to see that the enjoyment of inor-
dinate wealth by their clergy, and the possession
of temporal power, have no effect upon their
exertions except to damp them, no influence
upon their minds except to make them sill more
eager after the things of this world than after
those of the world to come. Why is it, then,
that this satisfactory change, this just measure
Of restituti9n, has not been extended to Eng-
land ? Why is it that one and the same Bid
was not applied to the church in England and
in Ireland ? Does his Majesty's Government
wait till the church is placed in the same hazard
in England as it is in ? Does it wait till
the people have refthed to pay church rates ?
Does it wait till the Dissenters throughout Eng-
land have declared that they will not be placed
on a worse footing than their brethren in Ire
land ? if so, they will not have long to
wait. Let them look to another part of our
paper for an account of what has been done at
Manchester, and they will see that their favourite
time for acting,viz., when it is almost impossible
to act with advantage, is fast approaching.
The Manchester people have declared that
they will no longer pay for the repair of the
church, that the necessary expenses must be
defrayed from the property put apart fur the
maintenance of the church. Let those who
ish well to the established church, take ad-
vantage of the locus pellitentice left to them.

Now, the people will be content, perhaps,
with the church revenues being appro-
priated simply to the suoport of the esta-
blished church ; but to any man with the
common organs of sense, who will use them to
gather the knowledge of what is to come from
what is passing around him, it is as- clear as
the sun at noon-day, that the time is at
hand when the proposal will be made and car-
ried to divide the revenues of the church equally
amongst the teachers of all religions; that is to.
say, the church property will he seized
by the State, and the clergy of all sects
will be pail by the Government, as in
France. This may not he the worst alter-
native the clergy have to expect, for if the
pressure of the taxes contiatie to he felt as
'hey have lately been, if the landowners still
per,ist in creating a modified state of starva-
tion in order to charge a higher price for the
bread they sell, the most obvious mode
of meeting the exigencies of the State will be to
appropriate the public property now devoted to
the purpse of religion to the payment of the army
and navy, and leave each sect to support its own
ministers, as is done in America. Does it not
hehove, then, every real friend of the church
establishment to join with the Dissenters in
their present moderate and just demand to be
freed from the obligation of supporting a
church to which he does not he1,,,,2?
Why should the Catholics of Lancashire
and the Protestant Dissenter 4 in other parts of
the country he forced ieto enmity to the
church ? If it be unjust in prUiciple that the
Dissenters from the e•tabli•hed church in Ire-
land should pay church rates, is it not eTtallv
unjust in Engtan ? %I'd' even the pre ent
Government, extraordinary as have been some of
it, avowals, venture upon anything so barefaced
as saving, " We did justice in Ireland because
the Dis enters were strong, and powerful ; we
continue tinju,t in England, because the
Dissenters are comp irativelv weak, and we can
safely oppress them ?" Their b ickwardness in
stating what they intend to do with respect to
the church of England, their not having endea-
voured to refbrm it by the same Bill, and
the same provisions that are applied to
the Irish church, their zilmo,t constant avoidance
of statesman-like and enlarged views of a ques-
tion which shall settle it once anti for ever, all
make us fear that some measure of half justice is
to be brought forward for the English Church
which will please no party. Let the decision
of the people of Manchester In a warning to
them, for ahhough it may not, although we rather
anticipate that it will, be immediately fdlowed
by similar decisions in other parts of the coun-
try, it is assuredly an indication that the people
begin to feel that it is only by first helping them-
selves that their rulers can be induced to help
them.

Count HECTOR LUCCIIESI PALLI arrived in
Paris on Friday and took up his residence at the
Hotel Beauffremont. He is expected to leave
Paris in a few days for Blaye, where he is to
embark for Palermo with Madame PALLI.

There is no truth whatever in the statement
which has appeared in several papers of
MACR EADY and FARREN having opposed Mr.
BUN N'S plan of uniting the two theatres. 0,,
the contrary, they, together with most of the
leading members of the profession, have expressed
their inclination to forward the undertaking.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

By the French mail this morning the accounts from Paris
state that Pozzo di Borgo passed the whole of the evening at
Neuilly with Louis Philip ; at the same time the Ministers
held a council in a private saloon. The explanations which
took place between his Majesty and Pozzo di Borgo related to
the affairs of the East, -.lnch lasted so long that the Ministers
left before Pozzo di Borgo. On the following morning the
Russian Ambassador sent to M. Broglie a memorandum from
his Court of the actual state of the negotiations between
Russia and the Sublime Porte.

They write from Bayonne that, for several days past, the
communication with Madrid has been very active. Every day
extraordinary couriers passed through that town, coming and
going to Madrid.
A Lisbon mail has arrived—sailed on the 19th, and from
Oporto on the 20th inst. The accounts from Oporto are not
of so favourable a description as was anticipated : it appears
that Don Miguel is taking vengeance on that unfortunate city,
before a general attack on his lines takes place, as no doubt he
is well informed of the preparations which the Pedroites are
