PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO THOMAS
MARSLAND, ESQ., M.P.

Yesterday week, a most splendid testimonial, valued at
£l2O, was presented to our highly-esteemed representative,
Major Marslacd, by E. W. Howe, on behalf of the Conser-
vative ladies of the borough. The ceremony, being a pre-
vate one, at the member's residence at Cheadle Moseley, we
are unable to furnish our readers with the particulars of what
transpired, further than to say, that after the address which
accompanied the presentation hid been read by Mr. Howe,
the compliment was acknowledged by the major.—The piece
of plate is a silver epergne of a tripod form, and upon one
side of the base is engraven the following soscription :
Presented to Thomas Marsland, Esq., M.P. by the
Conservative Ladies of Stockport, 1838.

Upon another are the member's armorial bearings, and upon
a third are also engraven the arms of the borough. From
this base springs a stein richly ornamented with delicately
chased Acanthus leaves, and supporting an elegant trellis-
work basket, into which fits a richly cut glass bason. There
are also three arms branching from the sides of the tripod
holding smaller basons to match with the centre one. The
whole presenting one of the most massive and splendid arti-
cles of the kind that was ever exhibited in this town.

We subjoin a copy of the address which was beautifully
engrossed upon a large sheet of vellum :
TO THOMAS MARSLAND, ESQ., M.P.
" We, the undersigned Conservative ladies, resident within
the borough of Stockport or its immediate vicinity, request
you to accept the accompanying memorial of our esteem and
gratitude. When we look upon you as the generous and
affectionate father of a numerous family—when we recollect
the alacrity you have shown in doing good—that from your
youth you have been the liberal patron of our most valued
institutions for the relief of the sick, and education of the
poor—that in these later and more perilous times, you
have stood forward as the intrepid defender of our match-
less constitution in church and state—we confess how feeble
and inadequate are either our words or our tokens to express
the feelings with which we regard your principles, your cha-
racter, and your conduct. That in your most just and up-
right course you should have been exposed to great and un-
merited obloquy, is indeed a sign that we have "fallen upon
evil days, and upon evil tongues.' We do most unfeignedly
regret that it should have been so: we pray earnestly that
you may survive to see better times and happier days; and
that God Almighty may be pleased to preserve unto us one
who not only knows so well how to defend our civil rights,
but can also so deeply and so truly sympathize with all our
domestic calamities."

[Here follow the names of as many of the subscribers as
could conveniently sign the address within the time limited.]

The bigoted Church-hating Dissenters of Dudley, a hete-
rogeneous mass of Quakers, Ranters, Jews, Papists, Baptists,
Socinians, Presbyterians, &c. &c., have concocted an opposi-
tion to the Church rate again. On Thursday a vestry was
held, when a threepenny rate was proposed and seconded in
due form, and, as was expected, opposed by " the Conscienti-
ous," who demanded a poll, which commenced immediately.
At the conclusion of F riday's poll, the Church party stood
6268 a head ! The poll was kept open until Saturday.
CHRIST'. CHURCH, TINTWISTLE.—TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
TO A CLERGYMAN OF THE ESTABLISHMENT.—The children
of the schools connected with the above church were enter-
tained with tea and cake, on the evening of Christmas day,
on which occasion they were met by all the respectable per-
sons of the congregation. Scriptural addiesses were deli-
vered by the Rev. James Cox, 8.A., incumbent, the Rev.
Wrn. Nason, 8.A., curate, the Rev.Thos. Middleton, M.A.,
of Stockport, and the Rev. John Baylee, 8.A., of Manches-
ter; after which, J. Winterhottom and J. Dearneley, Esqrs.,
churchwardens, presented the Rev. Thos. Middleton, M.A.,
High Master of Stockport Free Grammar School, with a
splendid piece of plate, inscribed, from the congregation of
Christ's church, as a mark of their affectionate remembrance
of his past talented and disinterested ministrations among
them. The rev. gentleman, in a powerful and truly feeling
speech, expressed the gratification he felt in being with his
old friends on such an evening, and witnessing such demon-
strations of regard to those ministers of the church who had
laboured among them.—Manchester Courier,
