Tbe Rating of Schools and Chaiities.

A public meeting took place yesterday at Willis's
Rooms, King-street, St. James's, to adopt steps to
secure for schools, and charitable institutions gene-
rally, continued exemption from rating. The Earl
of Shaftesbury occupied the chair, and amongst the
more distinguished persons on the platform were the
Earl of llarrowby, the Earl of Shrewsbury and
Talbot, Mr. Vanderbyl, M.P., Mr. The, M.P.,
Archbishop Manning, Rev. Mr. Owen, Dr. Aldis,
Mr. Baines, M.P., &c. Deputations from various
provincial towns were also in attendance ; and let-
ters were read from the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Bishops of Winchester, Lichfield, Worcester,
Ripon, Chichester, and Rochester, Mr. R. Gurney,
lion. A. Kinnaird, M.P., and Mr. B. Cabbell—all
expressing their entire concurrence in the object of
the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said that, in addition to the letters
which had been read, he had received a communica-
tion from the late Lord Chief Baron Pollock stating
that he rested his objection to the measure upon the
simple justice of the case, and he was most emphatic
in his protest against it. The contents of the letter
showed that the writer possessed all the vigour of
youth in his 85th year. (Hear, hear.) His lordship
having spoken at some length in favour of the ob-
jects of the meeting, _ _

The Earl of HARnowBY proposed the first resolu-

tion :—" That it is most impolitic and unjust to im-
pair the usefulness of the hospitals and dispensaries
of England by subjecting them, for the first time,
to the payment of poor and local rates, when the
relief they administer to the sick anal destitute poor
materially lessens the burden of parochial rates."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. FOSTER, the
treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, who said
he was authorised to enter a protest on behalf of
that institution and Christ's Hospital also.
The resolution was supported by the treasurer of
St. George's Hospital and carried unanimously.
Archbishop MANNING moved the second resolu-
tion :—" That the recent decisions of courts of law
on the Act of 43d Elizabeth, cap. 2, rendering
schools and charitable institutions generally liable to
the payment of rates, is contrary to the spirit of the
act itself and of recent legislation, and tends greatly
to discourage educational effort, and to the conse-
quent increase of improvidence and pauperism.
The Hon. and Rev. G. YORKE, rector of Birming-
ham, seconded the resolution, which was supported
by Mr. BAINES, M.P., and was carried unanimously.
Mr. TITE, M.P., proposed, and Mr. BARCLAY,
M.P., seconded the third resolution—" That such
steps be taken as may be deemed desirable, and that
a deputation do wait on the Prime Minister to ascer-
tain the views of the Government on the subject."

The resolution was supported by Mr. H. L. Keel-
ing, as the representative of members of the Jewish
persuasion, and was cordially agreed to.

On the motion of the Earl of SHREWSBURY and
TALBOT a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman,
who said he had never seen in all his experience a
more unanimous meeting.
