CHURCH RATES.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
GREAT MA RLOW, JULY I.—The Church party have car-
ried the rate, with little credit to themse.ves, as all sorts of
trickery have been resorted to. The V.car, Thomas Tracey
Coxwell, decided that no one should vof.e if he owed a Poor-
rate, consequently the poorer classes wer e prevented from re-
cording their votes against the rate. 7t he Church party took
care to pay the rates for all that were; willing to record their
votes in the favour of a Church-rate.. The Overseer's resi-
denve was beset with a select few at. 'midnight, to make the
Church party right on the Poor-rate book ; and where they
had neglected to do so, the Churchwardens themselves pro-
vided the means. One of the Churchwardens actually paid
the rates of William Smith and Richard Muspratt in the
Vestry-room when they came to the poll. On the other side, I
think the Dissenting body might have exerted themselves, as
they did nothing but record their votes, and, in a great many
instances, stayed away, thus net taking the active part they
ought. One the other side every vote was polled that could be
brought up by threats, and one man declaring ( William King-
stone) that he came here and voted against his will. This
poor fellow is to be pitied. Intimidation has had its effect.
A wholesale system of bribery has been practised in this, as
well as at Parliamentary elections—paying the Poor-rates for
those who chose to come forward and tax their neighbours can
he called nothing else. The poorer class of Dissenters in se-
veral instances were forced to come and vote for the rate, under
the penalty of losing their employ. Only 273 polled out of 400
or 500 rate-payers.

VOCAL MUSIC ON WILHEM'S
METHOD.

- - -
A public meeting of the singing classes instructed on the
above system, at Oxendon Chapel, Oxendon-street, Haymar-
kN, by Mr. William T. Wrighton (lately an assistant to Mr.
Hullah ), was held on Tuesday evening last, at which the Rev.
Thomas Archer, A.M., presided. The pieces sung on the
occasion were, with- one exception, selections from the Manual,
and the manner in which they were executed by the classes re-
flects the highest credit on Mr. Wrighton, and places him in a
very eminent position as a teacher. In the course of the even-
