PROPOSED RA7ING OF SCHOOLS AND

CHARITIES.

Yesterday a very numerous and influential deputa-
tion waited upon Lord Derby, at his official residence in
Downing-street. It consisted of the EArl of Shaftesbury,
Sir Mordaunt Welles, Mr. Scholefield, 31. P., Mr. Bass,
M.P., Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., Mr. Baines, M.P., the
Right Rev. Archbishop Manning, Mr. T. Tilson, the Pre-
sident of the Wesleyan College, the Mayor of Birmingham,
and many other philanthropic gentlemen. The object of
the deputation was to present a memorial, calling his
lordship's attention to the recent decision of the House of
Lords in the case of the Mersey Docks, and that of " The
British Orphan Asylum" in the Queen's Bench, which
stated that " All buildings of a charitable or eleemosy-
nary character must be rated in future to the relief of the
poor."
Several
eEarl of SHAFTESBURY introduced the deputation.
gentlemen spoke in support of it, stating that if
such a rating were carried out, it would not only prevent
much beneficent work which was now carried on, but it
would be the cause of throwing a still greater number of
poor people upon the poor's rate, and would thereby cause
a still higher amount of rating, inasmuch as the voluntary
relief which was now given would be done away with,
as the charitable institutions which were now barely
supported would bo unable to sustain the burthen of taxa-
tion. Several admirable institutions, both Protestant,
Roman Catholic, and Jewish were instanced as being in
this condition.
The Earl of DERBY said that he bad been glad to bear
what such an influential deputation had 'to urge, but that
they could not expect him to say anything then; but he
would take the earliest opportunity of laying the matter
before his colleagues, and when they had heard what the
other side had to say something would be done.
The deputation, after having thanked the noble earl for
his courtesy, retired.
