soon as it gets to be six minutes old, then it is property
it can be enforced, and therefore it is unscriptural ! ! The
assumption of these weak rambling Noelites, that our sys-
tem is compulsory and their's " voluntary," is not sup-
ported by truth. Our church property, being a secure
possession, is freed from the danger of being " grudged."
It is paid by the mass of people unhesitatingly ; but in
the dissenting system the screw is painfully driven home ;
the boast of " VOLUNTARY" support is a fiction. Take a
case that came under my own knowledge: a few gentle-
men speculate in building a dissenting chapel—they lend
their money, £lOOO or so, each, to the cause, which costs
some £7OOO, and they are to get good interest for their
money. They are all manufacturers : they have also rows
of cottages for their workmen. A workman comes to the
master and tells the awful despot his simple tale that he
wants to rent No. 12, in Green-street. The man is " not
particular" in " religion." The rent is agreed on at
£6 10s. ; and then the master says, ' You know there is a
seat in the chapel that goes with the house." The man
scratches his head and says, " Very well, sir." The mas-
ter asks, " How many seats do you want ?—yourself and
wife, of course : and you have four children, I believe."—
" 0, sir (responds the poor man), my children are quite
young." " Then you'll send them to our school ; and
you will take two seats ?" " Yes, sir." " Very well—
they are 4s. each ; then your rent will be £6 18s." I
I have myself known of such cases, related to me by the
sufferers themselves ; and if, in general, matters may not

be managed so indecently and abruptly, still the same
compulsion is painfully prevalent throughout dissent.
Compare, such mock voluntary payments with our recog-
• • -

n The idea of a man being forced to pay his seat rent
while a " box" is held up for the cash, on a Sunday, in a
" house of prayer," is disgusting in the extreme ! It is
r, the most monstrous and revolting tyranny, and it is but a
sample of the system. But the victims are too blind to
see their own degradation. Like us, in the above circu-
lar, the parties concerned do not see that their chosen
quarter-days are the Church festivals of St. Thomas's-
day, Lady-day, St. John the Baptist's Day, and Michael-
mas Day ! Thus the rabid " Protestant Dissenters' Al-
manack" gives " Epiphany," "Easter," " Sundays after
Trinity," &c. Their attempt to do away with our church
resembles the impotent malice of the American revolu-
tionists, who proposed to do away with the English lan-
guage, which was the only languagethey themselves could
speak ! How were they to begin ?

and for that ver,
reason he wished the inventor every success; for many of
the modern improvements were so complicated in their
details, and consequently so extravagant in their price,
that they were altogether beyond the attainment of the
middling and poorer classes of society : they were luxu-
ries for the rich only. This ventilator is fixed in a pane
of the window—the nearer the top the better, for it is
there that ventilation is most required. The ventilator,
when closed, forms a pane of the casement, only distin-
guishable from the other panes by a slight line across it.
This pane is fixed in a metallic frame, which is hinged at
the top, and which opens to the outside of the sash.
There is a part or portion of a pane inside of this, and of
the same width, and this is secured in the lower part of
the sash, which it fills up. The outside pane works upon
an Archimedean screw. The head of this screw forms a
pulley, by turning which, the ventilating pane may be
projected from the bottom, or drawn in, to any requisite
angle from the perpendicular of the window, so as to re-
gulate the draught; the pane when sent out forming an
inclined plane, or slope, more or less steep. The outer
end of the screw is protected by a washer, which prevents
the ventilating pane from being detachedfrom it, and the
longer the screw the higher may the pane be raised, or,
in other words, the more it may be opened. The screw
is fastened to t"

part of the sash by a plate and
boxing, by which the necessary play is allowed the screw
to accommodate itself to the arc or segment described by
the ventilating pane when it is projected, or drawn in.
The pane will stop in whatever position it is left without
catch or fastener. There is a nut inserted in the lower
Part of the frame of the ventilating pane, and in this the
screw works. In the bore or interior of the nut there is
a tooth, which is the hold for the screw. and which alsn

distress experienced, and still impending over the farmers
of the United Kingdom is fraught with the most disas-
trous consequences, and has been mainly occasioned by
recent legislative enactments, bringing them into unequal
and unjust competition with the growers of foreign corn,
and, unless speedily arrested, must overwhelm the whole
agricultural community in ruin ; and, although they re-
pudiate the idea that that any practicable reduction of
taxation can be regarded as an equivalent for protection,
still, in order to mitigate the evils as far as possible, they
feel it to be incumbent upon them to impress upon Par-
liament the necessity not only of the total repeal of the
malt tax, but also the immediate revision of all general
and local taxation which presses with unequal severity
upon the cultivators of the soil." Before he said a word
to the resolution, he would state that he did not appear
there for any party purposes—but as a plain plodding
British farmer, bred and brought up to the cultivation of
the soil, and having a family depending upon his exertions
for their future success in the world. He stood there
before them finding his property frittered away by what
he had almost called a dishonest Parliament. (Loud
cheers.) During the first 20 years of the present century
corn—that was, wheat—maintained the price of 80s. a
quarter. For the last 28 years it had averaged 565. a
quarter—a price not very ruinous, or indicating anything
in the shape of famine. And when he proved to them
that not not more than 7s. a bushel had prevailed during
a period of 28 years, he showed that prices had not been
extravagant, and that there was no immediate call for the
sacrifices the farmers of England had been compelled to
make. (Hear, hear.) If, then, a law had passed which
took away 25 per cent. as near as possible (and he ought
to have said the price of land, rents, and the varied ar-
rangements in the rural districts must pretty well adjust
themselves to the scale of prices)—if they had been de-

dirt, which might otherwise affect its free
working. Over the pulley forming the head of the screw
a small cord is passed. This cord leads right and left
along the crossbar of the window through eyes or small
pulleys in the stiles of the sash, and falling down the
casing of the window, with a weighted tassel at each end.
By pulling the cord at either side of the window, the ven-
tilator is opened or shut at pleasure. In large ventilators
there are two springs fastened in the rabbit of the sash
within which the ventilator is placed. The ends of these

that the farmers must be in imminent peril of ruin. What,
then, were they to expect when there should be favoura-
ble seasons on the Continent, and when there was a good
supply of wheat ? He thought that, instead of taking
the reduction at 25 per cent., they might very well state
it at 30 to 35 per cent. Te reduction of 25 per cent.
just about covered the rental of the country. The annual
value of the produce of this country, independent of Ire-
land, had been estimated at £200,000,000 a-year. Now,
if they took the rental at one-fourth of that, they would
at once perceive that the whole rental was sacrificed in
some shape or form. It was not to be presumed for a
