The parish of St. Blary, Newington, is at present in a state
of great excitement, caused by the attempt of the High
Church party to levy a church-rate, against which 00
parishioners have successfully contended for the last eight
years. The Church establishment in this parish is supported
at a cost to the inhabitants of upwards of 5,0001. per annual!.
and yet the clergy will not attend to the spiritual wants of
the poor in the workhouse unless a large sum be paid for the
services of a chaplain. This, then, is the chief ground of
which the rate is called for. A poll has been demanded, and
will take place to-morrow and Wednesday, July 16 and 17.

A letter from Antwerp of yesterday gives an account
of a visit made the day before by the governor and mem'
hers of the council of the Commune to Fort Lillo, i°
order to inspect the works carrying on to draw the
Polder of Lillo, which has been under water so mall years. On inspecting the works, they found that the
new dike would have been nearly completed by this tine
but for the unfortunate rupture a month ago, by which
great damage was done. However, the works have since
been carried on with such activity, that in about a fort:
night the part lately inundated will be drained, and
raised to the height of the ordinary tides. The second
dike is proceeding in a satisfactory manner. The time
of this visit was chosen for laying the first stone of °
sluice which is to be built behind the fort. It appeal's
from the plans that this sluice will be on a great scale.
It is intended in time of Peace to drain the water from'
the River Polder, and in time of war to inundate the
environs of the fort to the whole extent of the Rayon.
