amidst such tkagef applause as made the massive walls of 117 Q
ring again. The members returned thanks, and the court was dissolved.
On Monday, while the polling was going on, a party broke the win-
dows of the Warwick Arms Inn, about 80 panes, and some of the win-
dows of Gen. Moister, one of Sir Charles's friends.
In consequence of a resolution passed at a meeting of entorelms, resi-
dent in Birmingham, held at the Public Moe a niskt
week, an illumination took piece in this town, on Monday hat,
for the purpose of celebrating the recent dissolution of !Parliament At
the same time the chairman was instructed to confer with the melegemod
churchwarden of St. Martin's and St. Phili `s, to obtain Asir see-
sent to have the bells rung at their respective churches. In amebae*
with the resolution of the °tamers' meeting, a deputation waited
Mr. Moseley, at the church on Monday morning, and at the aasalsiea
of the smite requested that he would comply with their dodge, and
allow the bells of the church to be rung during the day. Mr. Minity,
though strongly pressed by Mr. Winfield, positively refold his OW
sent to the ringing of the belie. On leaving the church, the Teeter pawed
at the door a number of persons to whom Mr. Winfield was canned-
eating the result of Ms interview • and the rev. gem. had not quitted the
church-yard before he was followed by a put or the whole of this trnue,
accosted in terms any thing but courteous, or even such as we can in
decency oceupy our columns by repeating. In Edgbasteustreet, the
pursuing blackguards were recruited by detachments of boys and girls
from some of the courts in that district, and b these and their well.
dressed abettors, the Rector was hooted, hissed, and pelted, until he
was able to take refuge and whey within the walls of itis own garden,
in Bath-row.

Thwarted by the determination of the rector, Which we do not wish
to be understood as justifying, the populace were equally resolved to
obtain their ends. Accordingly, on the procession passing the church,
on its way Prom the Globe to the Public Meeting, at Mr. Beards-
worth's Repository, a party entered the churchyard, and in the course
of a short time, by means of a ladder, succeeded in effecting an entrance
Into the belfry. By this time some thousands were collected in the
Bull-ring and the churchyard, and on the first peal of the bells, an in-
stantaneous shout of applause burst forth from the surrounding multi.
tude. It is certain that the greater part of those who entered the
church were its regular Hagen. Elated by the success at St. Martin's,
a similar attack was made upon the belfry of St. Philip's, and with the
assistance of a ladder, taken by force by the assailants from the Globe
Tavern, a speedy ingress was scatty Melted. The bells of both churches
rang merry peals during the remainder of the day. In the evening the
town was pretty generally, although far from brilliantly illuminated.
Yesterday a meeting was called by circular at the Public Ofilee, for
the purpose of expressing its sense of the outrages offered to the person
of the Rev. T. Moseley. At the hour appointed, a numerous and
highly respectable assemblage orate inhabitants took place, when the
High Bailiff, Oliver Mason, Req. was called to the Chair; who, on
opening the business of the day, expressed his sincere regret at the
cause which had brought them together.
The Rev. J, Currie rose to present the form la which they should
express their sentiments to the Rev. Gendeman, who had been so
grossly insulted. Although he did not even know Mr. Moseley, and,
by report his religious opinions were as much at variance with his own
as it was possible to be, yet be felt it a duty he owed to society at large,
to come forward and take pan In proceedings intended to mark their
abhorrence of such acts of outrage. Was it to be endured, that
beams persons who differed in opinion to others, they were not to
be allowed to walk along the streets without insult and molestation ?
He had great pleasure in proposing a declaration of their opinions
of the conduct of the parties who had attacked the Reverend Gen.
denten.

In seconding the resolution, Mr. Darnall reminded the Meeting
that they lived in a state of society, whose various interests were
more complicated and more extensive than they were, or ever had
been, in any oho country, or at any other period of time. Under such
circumstances it was important that every subject brought before the
public should be considered with the calmest digiberation.—
Outrages, however, such as were presented to the consideration of the
meeting were gross attempts to substitute the brutal passions of the mob
for the cool convictions of reason.
On this subject we lament the perverse feelings of the clergy. They
ought not to identify the Church with the corruptions of the State ; yet,
as it was at Birmingham, in it has been every where. In London and
its vicinity, they even caused the bells to be rung for the success of
Gascoigne's motion. and yet refused to allow them to be rung during
the illuminations, die.
On Sunday evening last, as the Rev. J. S. Byers was delivering his
Sermon at St. Martin's church, he was seised with a giddiness in his
hod, and became unable to proceed for some moments: he shortly,
brava. arose again from his seat, and attempted to ge on with his
ihnoune, but a repetition of the attack coming on, ibe fell back in a
state of insensibility. The congregation became much alarmed, and
the clerk immediately went to his assistance. The Rev. Gentleman
was, with considerable difficulty, conveyed from the pulpit, and the
service was immediately closed.
We understand that the opinion of the first legal authorities has been
taken respecting the patty upon whom the expense of rebuilding St.
Peter's Church, In this town, will fall, and that they have decided that
the parish is alone responsible for the re-erection of this edifice. A ves-
try meeting will, we hear, be speedily called, to submit the proposition
to the town ; but that the ecclesiastical law will enforce the performance
of this duty, even if a majority should decide to the contrary.

Tan LAT! Was. HAMPER, Raul.—ln the)lddie and private re.
haws of life Mr. Hamper was universally esteemed ; and eves thew
who differed from him in political opinions respected his slam* sal
disinterestedness. Raised in society in the ealtivation of hie ow
tins talents and taste, he had the disviogniebed merit of
and was the simple architect of his own wystaket and Mgt Oda la
the republic of letters. As an antiquaries Me. Hamper thi
most various and erudite attainments. Hie lummeledge the led as
tiquities of Warwickshire was unequalled since the days atDagdale, and
from many circumstances connected with the penewal *Nana and ac-
quirements of Mr. H. no individual will pethsgs MAWR possess the
same opportunities of gleaning topographical. heraildb, and genealogical
information relating to the County of Warwick. It is uniketunate that a
sum of money had not been raised in this opulent openly, and among
its noble families, to induce Mr. Hamper, in the amatun of his years,
to retire from the overwhelming pressure of busieses, and to devote him-
self to an edition of Dugdale's Andquidee of Warwickshire, and coo.
tinning that noble work of County History to the present time. Mr.
Hamper was justly considered a most eminent member of the Society of
Antiquaries, and as a Runic Scholar, preeminent. For many years he
was an active, able, intelligent, and vigilant County Magistrate, and la
this capacity his loss will be severely felt in the town of Birmingham.
Mr. Hamper's unexpected decease will be learned by his numerous per.
sonal and literary friends with the deepest sorrow and regret.
CHESTER COURANT.

It is said that a contest for this county will positively occur. Lord
Henry Chohnondeley's friends are making preparations to that erect;
but if we might off•r his Lonlahip some valuable advice, we would,
knowing his-hopeless case, at once urge him to resign. Nine-tenths
of the people of Cheshire are determined on Worm, and they will leave
no exertion untried to return two members pledged to the ministerial
measure. In every part of the county Lord Belgrave and Mr. Wilbra-
ham have been welcomed with the liveliest feelings of delight. Com•
minces have been voluntarily formed in almost every district in
their behalf; and subscriptions have also been entered into to a
considerable amount. As far as money is an object, it will
not be wanting to secure the good cause; Lnrd Henry and his friends
may rest assured of that. The trickery and tomfoolery which Lord
Henry's friends have been guilty of must not pare unnoticed. Our
streets are every where placanled with the most audacious lies, for the
purpose of misleading the ignorant, and entrapping the weak. The con-
sequences of the factious opposition in the late Parliament are attributed
to the present ministers, who are made to appear as bent upon bloodshed,
anarchy, and revolution ! The fears of the people are worked upon by
being assured that the retain bill is a bill in disguise, fee bringing the
Catholics into power; and then they are invoked to support Church and
Klee The people now are too intelligent to be gulled by such tricks.
