CHURCH-RALE DEPUTA LION TO LORD

PALII_ERSTON.

A numerous and influential deputation of lay-
men, headed by Lord John Manners, was received
yesterday by the Prime Minister, at his private
residence, Cambridge House, Piccadilly, to present
a statement on the subject of church rates.
Amongst the members of Parliament present
were Viscount Ingerstre, Sir Min to Farqnhar, M.P.,
Mr. Arthur Mills, Mr. J. W. P. Watlington, Sir
Stafford Northcote, Sir Brooke Bridges, Sir F. Hey-
gate, Mr. Packe, Mr. G. F. Beecroft, Captain W.
Talbot, Major Edwards, Mr. W. Vansittart, Mr. F.
0. Papillon, Mr. A. Steuart, Mr. It. Long, and Mr.
T. J. Millar; also Messrs. Brinsley, Morley, J.
Braithwaite, A. G. Stapleton, G. Howets Davies,
Hy. Hoare, J. A. C. Traill, J. C. Colquhoun, Howel
Gwyn, Loftus Wigram, J. W. Perry, C. G. Mere-
wether, and Mr. John M. Knott, secretary to the
committee, formed. part of the deputation.
Lord J. MANNERS, after introducing the deputa-
tion, proceeded to read the statement, which depre-
cated the abolition of church rates as being only a
first step to the separation of Church and State,
and hoped that the Government would re-consider
their determination not to introiuce a measure for
the settlement of the question this session.
Mr. PACKE, M.P., desired to impress on his lord-
ship the fact that many country churches were
solely dependent on church rates for their main-
tenance, and would fall to decay if deprived of that
aid.

Mr. BRAITHWAITE confirmed this view.
Lord PALmEnsroN said that he had listened with
interest to the statements which had been made to
him by so numerous a body of gentlemen who
had done him the honour to wait upon him.
He need not tell those assembled that it was
one of great difficulty, owing to the state of
parties, and the diversity of opinions. lie assured
them that he would consult his colleagues, in
fact, it had already engaged their attention.
He felt the force of the remarks made by Mr.
Packe, and fully admitted that in keeping churches
in repair, as in other things, " a stitch in time
saved nine." It was, he admitted, most desirable
that churches should be kept in constant repair by
a small outlay when required, instead of being
allowed to become dilapidated, and thus necessitate
a large outlay in the course of years. He was quite
aware of the desirability of arriving at a satisfac-
tory solution of the question, but the deputation of
course would not expect him to exprees any opinion
beyond that, and to assure them that the whole
question should continue to receive the ansious
consideration of her Majesty's Government.
Lord JOHN MANNERS then thanked his lordship
for the very courteous manner in which he had
received the deputation, and expressed the satisfac-
tion of those assembled with his lordship's reply.
The deputation then withdrew.

The Times has been suppressed throughout the
Austrian Empire. The copies which arrived by post have

A definitive prospectus has been issued of the
Great Northern Palace Company, with a capital of
£600,000, of which £400,000 will be in £lO shares, and the
remainder in doben tures. The promoters point out that tho
population of the north side of London is more than
1,500,000; that the building will be directly accessible
from a station of the Great Northern line, without the
fatigue of a long ascent; and that the estate, which con-
sists of about 450 acres, will admit of 300 acres being let on
