THE SUN, LONDON, WED N ESDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1860.

carried into effect. It was one that he believed would have
satisfied all reasonable Dissenters ; but the effect of that
bill was to abandon the high ground taken up by Church-
men. (Hear.) Infidelity prevailed most in the urban
parishes, and there, too, Dissenters were most numerous.
It was, therefore, there that the Church required all the
resources it could command, and yet in these urban parishes
the most rev. prelate proposed to give up church rates, be-
cause theycould no longer be raised there. The bill which
he (Lord Lyveden) now proposed had been introduced into
their lordships' house in 1858, when it was rejected by a
very large majority, but the noble earl opposite (Earl Derby)
who was then in power, thought the subject was of such
importance that he undertook that a bill should be intro-
duced by the Government. A bill was introduced by Mr.
Walpole, which proposed that any one should be relieved
from the obligation of paying church rates who chose to say
that he was a conscientious Dissenter. The bill contained
other provisions modifying the law of mortmain, and autho-
rising the rate to be levied upon the owner, instead of the
occupier. But the compromise failed to obtain the sanction
of the House of Commons, and the next step was the intro-
duction of Sir J. Trelawny's Bill, which was passing rapidly
through the other house when their lordships adopted their
usual course when the Commons were pressing an unpala-
table measure upon them, and 'appointed a committee to
consider the subject. He found no fault with the proceed-
ings of that committee, but would only remark that, being
appointed at the end of the session, the attendance was
scanty and the evidence incomplete. Three witnesses were
examined whose evidence produced great effect—Dr. Foster,
Mr. Morley, and Mr. Osborne. The two first-named gen-
tlemen frankly avowed that the abolition of church rates
was not their ultimate desire, but that they wished to de-
stroy the whole Church establishment. That avowal ought
not to have caused much surprise, for it had repeatedly
been made by Mr. Hume, Mr. Pellatt, and others in the
House of Commons. It was, however, made a ground of
argument against the abolition of church rates that those
who chiefly advocated that proceeding were anxious to po
still further. He did not think there was any force in that
argument, because it had not been shown how, if church
rates ware abolished, the position of the Dissenters to attack
the Church would be strengthened. Ho believed it would
be just the contrary, for the country could never be
agitated upon a merely theoretical question. Only a real
grievance such as church rates were could sustain agitation,
and he thought that by yielding an unequivocal, uncertain
right the position of the Church would be greatly strength-
ened. The committee also examined Mr. Osborne, a Wes-
leyan Methodist, who, sneaking individually, did not object
to church rates, but said there were no means of ascertain-
ing the general sentiments of the body to which ho be-
longed. That opinion, however, was expressed in the 815
petitions that had been presented to Parliament from Wes-
leyan methodists in favour of the abolition of church rates.
The evidence of the witnesses whom he had mentioned had
a certain effect, and was, no doubt, one of the causes of the
diminished majority in the other houss. But there was
another taus, for the decrease in the majority. If it was
desired to pass liberal measures through the House of
Commons the first and last sessions of a Parliament were
the most auspicious periods. In 1859, when fresh from
the hustings, hon. gentlemen were ready to vote for the
abolition of church rates, but in 1860 their fervour had
somewhat abated. Probably in 1861, 2, or 3, as the case
might be, they would again vote against church rates before
reappearing upon the hustings. It was to be regretted that
the noble duke who presided over the committee had not
thought fit to introduce a bill founded on the report, or to
have met the present bill by resolutions in accordance with
that report. The principal recommendation in the report
was that persons desirous of being exempted from the pay-
ment of church rates should give notice of their objections to
the churchwardens, and such persons should not be per-
mitted to take part in any vestry called for the purpose of
making or applying such rate. . There was no requirement
of a religious or conscientious objection, but any ground of
objection whatever was to exempt a man from the rate.
Objections had been made to the voluntary principle that
it would be humiliating to clergymen to require them to go
round their parishes to beg subscriptions. But there would
be just the same humiliation if the recommendation of the
committee were carried out, for the clergyman would have to
go round and invite persons not to object to the rate. A
more complete voluntary system could not be conceived
than the plan set forth by the committee. He had now
mentioned the various compromises that had been sugzested
upon this subject. It was clear that compensations, com-
promises, and substitutes had all been exhausted, and no-
thing was left but to deal boldly with the question. He
hoped their lordships would not, because the majority in
the other house was slightly diminished, back out of the
pledges which they had heretofore given on this subject, or
vote for the continuance of a law which they had admitted
could not be maintained. A majority of nine was, he
allowed, a small one, and the number was also ominous, but
he trusted that this would not therefore be fatal to the suc-
cess of the bill. He believed the existence of church rates
tended much more to the disadvantage of the Church than
of Dissent, and he did not advance this opinion on his own
authority. Mr. Gladstoae said
" Now, I say, in the first place, that the state of the law
of church rates is a very great grievance to the Church
itself. In a multitude of parishes the church rate is con-
tested. If it is obtained among animosties and heartburn.
ings, where it is so contested it inflicts the greatest evil,
misfortune, and impediment on the Church than it confers
benefit on it; and if the rate is lost what again happens?
Why, that the Church is left entirely without support from
the rate, and so far is put on the same footing as the fabrics
belonging to other denominations of Christians; but only
so far, because it is left to those denominations who are
connected with other fabrics to associate themselves as a
body of private individuals for the maintenance of their
own fabrics, and to take into their own hands exclusively
the management of the funds they may please to vote for
such a purpose ; but that it is not competent for members
of the Established Church to do. Take the case of a parish
where the bulk of the ratepayers were indisposed to support
these rates, but where a portion of them were disposed to
do so. It is not competent for that part of the parishioners
who are so disposed to constitute themselves into a body for
the purpose of applying their means to that object, and it
is beyond all doubt that if, notwithstanding these difficulties,
gentlemen belonging to the Church of England choose to
subscribe for the maintenance of their Church, the appli3a-
tion and disposal of the money they thus raise is not placed
under their own control, but they are open to be run in upon.
and to have the control of the application of their money
taken out of their hands and pat into the hands of the very
men who perhaps the week previous had voted against the
levying of a church rate. That, I say, is a great grievance
to the Church."

This was, in point of fact, a great grievance to the Church,
and it was a grievance which, as long as this impost re-
mained, it would be impossible to remedy. If, on the other
hand, the rate were got rid of, a measure might be at once
introduced and carried, enabling the Church to tax its own
members, and no Dissenters could offer plausible objection
to such a bill, or if they did they would be laughed out of
Parliament. But on what ground were the conscientious
objections of the Dissenters now disregarded? Could any-
thing be said against the Dissenting body on the ground of
immorality or irreligion ? The names of Bunyan, Baxter,
Lardner, and Robert Hall would rise to every one's lips in
conjunction with the names of other men whom the Church
would be to glad to receive into her bosom. He would not
enter into any statistics to show the relative numbers of
Dissenters and Churchmen in this country, or the exact
number of petitions presented on one side or the other. He
would even assume the truth of the calculation made
by that very sanguine friend of the establishment, Dr.
Hume, of Liverpool, that the members of the Church com-
prise 67 per cent, of the population. But were there nat in
every town large numbers of Dissenters who were anxious
to be relieved from this rate? Why was it that Parlia-
ment did not impose an education rate ? Because they
thought that a compulsory impost would diminish the vo-
luntary subscriptions. The same principle applied in the
present instance, and he would ask where religion had ever
been advanced by compulsory levies ? Probably a Dissen-
ter would have no great cbjectim to contribute towards the
repair of a structure which he venerated and an edifice ho
admired ; and if the compulsory rate were abolished he be-
lieved the Dissenters would be most willing to subscribe
towards such an object. Sir Morton Peto, for example,
had subscribed £5OO towards the erection of a parish
church at Plaistow, and this would be the case with many
other Dissenters if the support of the Church edifices were
left to depend on voluntary efforts. It was for the in..
terests of the Church itself, then, 'that the removal of this
impost was most to be desired, and it was Dissent which
gained most by its continuance. At all events, if the bill
were not passed, care should be taken to lay down what
were the legal charges to be defrayed out of a church rate.
The Rev. Mr. Champneys said these charges comprised the
repairs of the edifice, the washing of the surplice, and the
cost of the communion wine. Now it wasonly natural that
Dissenters should object to the two last items. Mr. Champ-
neys had stated that when he first succeeded to his present
charge he found that the washing of the surplice cost 12
guineas, and the communion wine 18 guineas, there being
only 16 communicants. In that case wine appeared to have
been given to the churchwardens, clergyman, and other
persons ; and was it surprising that, with such abuses, the
Dissenters complained of paying church rates ? These were
the grounds upon which he asked their lordships to pass this
measure. He should prefer a substitute if one could be
found, but a substitute had been looked for in vain, and the
supporters of the bill therefore had been compelled to resort
to entire abolition. It appeared to be hoped that the agita-
tion on this question would subside. That reminded him of
the man in the play whose house was on fire, and who was
proceeding to assist in extinguishing the fire, when he ex-
claimed, " A sudden thought strikes me. Perhaps it will

endeavours to make it subside by reasonable legislation.
True it was that from various causes the majority had dimi-
nished in the other house, but none of the remarkable men
who had given in their adhesion to the bill failed to support
it still. It should be steadily borne in mind that the chief
supporters of the measure in the other house were not Dis-
senters, whose wish it might be to destroy the establishment
—churchmen were its leading advocates. (Hear.) The
majority comprised seven Cabinet Ministers, one ex-
Premier, and the present Prime Minister, of whom it
would not be said by the right rev, bench that
he was an unworthy son of the Church, or that his
recent appointments to the episcopal bench had
been prejudicial to the establishment. (Laughter.) Among
other members in that majority he recognises the rising
hopes of the country, Who stood higher in public esteem
