TO Tff EDITOR OF THE 'riarEs. Sir,-If you can find room for the following; you will 1 oblige a conlstant feader. o - i TO THE TITHE COMMrITES OF THE CITY OF LOEDqX. Gentlemeu,-I have read all vour proceedings2sre'orted iiN The Times, and am surprised to find that your sole 'de- endence is on the non-enrolment of the decree ;-not that think that a feeble grounl -to stand on,.but iF.yeu have another equalfy strong, why Ihould it be sulTux6 to re- main in oblivion ? If you read -the decree tu 'end, you will find the eighteenth artic:e runs thus--,t Provided ne- vertheless, that where a lesser tithe than one shilling and four pence halfpenny in the ten shillings rent, and two shillings and ninebence in the twerty shillingsrent has been accustomed to be paid, that then, in sucl places, the said citizens and inlabitants shall hut only pay after the lesser rate to which they have been accustomed," Withe law so clearly on1 your side, whether the decree be valid or invalid, why go to beg favours of Parliament, where you will probablv be met with "vested rights," and the Nolu- 27t1 leges i-Uaii mittn ri? You will, perhaps, say-it has already been -decided in the Coutis, in favour of dwe two and nine pence in the case of St. Gregory'sjarish: true, but I believe neither of these grounds of efence were brought forwardl. If they should fail, it -would be time e.nough to o te Parlianent. The non-enrolment of th ecree is sufficiently accounted forby tbeIenour of the eighteenth article, for it clearly left evry body where it found them, aud therefore was worth no man's tmiuble to get it enrolled: but after a lapse of nearly three cen- turies, it was easy to bring forward1 the former parts of the decree, and take no notice of the latter, wvhich has been done with r. prettv nowerf'ul efFont A BYSTANDELR LONDOAr TITHES.

A letter from St. Petersb...
The Times, 1824-10-26T00:00:00

A letter from St. Petersburgh, inserted in a French pa- per, describes a curious ceremony of coronation that took placcon the Asiatic fiontier of the empire about the end of last summer. The scene is laid near Iiralsk, on the river Ural, north of thc Caspian, and the happy sovereign was a Khan of the tribe of Kirgis. Th. horde obtained permission from the EFiPERoR to elect their Khan, and the Khan permission to be elected. The tribe accordingly as. sembled en a large plain, for the purpose of the electioni, where a hustings was erected, buit where, of course, there was no rival candidate. The future chief came to this meeting escorted by a guard of fifty Cossacks or Russians, and the work of the day began. In the first place was read a letter from the ENPEROR, addressed to the horde, and another addressed to the Khan-the former giving the people leave to choose their chief. and the latter giving the chief leave to be chosen. The horde was of course quite delighte(d with the exercise of its complete sove. reignty, and the Kha-a with thepossession of his perfect in- depcndence. He kissed with joy the imperial missive ; lie held it over hiis head as if it constituted his crown ; and then he took the oath of fidelity to the Autocrat on ' bend- - ed knee." After this, his coronation took place, under the auspices and by the han<ls of three officers of the Imperial army, the first of whom threw over his sacred person the Royal mantle; the second of whom covered his head with a cap, mrade of the skin of the black fox of Siberia ; and the third of whom girt his body with the gokleni sword of state. After this august ceremony was concluded, the Rtussian Governor of Orenhourg invited the Khan and the most eminent of hiis subjects to a sumptuous entertain- rm.ent. The narrative dloes not state whether the Khan's Lord Clhaneellor proposed his healtlh with " four times four ;" but it is certain that he obtained his crown and his dinner from the Esii'EaoR on thesamne day. *Ve are thus particular in noticing these facts-not, it will easily be seen, from any regard to their intrinsic importance, but-to show what kind of independence is enjoyed under Russian in- fluence; an( this at a time when the Emperor of RUssiA has shown an extrei-me anxiety that Greece, on being eman- cipated froin the Ottoman yoke, should be divided into principalitics, and placed uiider his protectionl. I o D I,.,! I .. I - - Llte I. olv Allies; and we obscrve with regret in Colonel STANHXOPE'S work on Greece, that a party in that countrv would not be averse to see it realized. In this case the Autrocrat would issue his congl d'lire to all the principalities, nominating the Bev flospodar or Plrince of thie Peloponniesus of Eastern and Western Greece, and of the Greek Isles, as lie now no- ininates the Khan of the horde of Kirgis. WVe hope the Greeks will be oil their guard against these arts, or their abetters, either at honme or ahroad ; andI that whatever Go- verninent they may adopt, they will not go to the Cauicasus for a model, or to P'etershbirgli for an autlhority.

Tbo Brussels papers state some of the legislative procectl ingn on the subject of customs and taxes. The agricultural inteest appears to be stil suffering there from the low price of grain. Would the superfluous product had a free entrance irito England ! The tessels that conveyed it, if Dutch, would not return, if English, would not go out, empty or unloaded. Our manufactures would find an increased vent; more artisans would be required; and of Gcourse more bread consumed in England, and thus both countries would benefit. If our silk maniufactures are im- proving, wvhy should not we export ? Epitalflelds is nearer the Hague or Rotterdam tlhan is Lyons. The more com- merce, also, is thrown open, the more interests will be con- cerned in the preservation of peacc. then, for examplc, we view the present fisurishing state of Nantes, Bordeaux, llavre de Grace, and all the westerll coast of France, jrorn Calais to Bayonne, and reflect thAt the first cannon- shot exchaliged (distantebe the time!) betvwcen Fiance and 7,ngland, annihilates the prodigious wealth and comfort tberespAringing up,snd reduces the inhabitants into poVetty' and discontent,. we canuot but sliudder at the means of mischief .we possess,-and see the anxiety which the saner portion of our neighbours must feel to perpetuate the pre- sent amity.

It appears that the Governor of Barbadoes has founid it necessary to rebuke the tardiness of the Island Le- gislature, in effecting (according to the desire of Parlia- ment) a reform of the slave laws. The Barbadoes As- sembly are aware, that failing their discharge of this im- portant duty, the Imperial Parliament stands pledged to undertake it for them. They had better, then, we should suppose, put their owII hands to the work, anl finish it. rhere seems, too, the less rational motive for delay on the part of this Assembly, because the Goyernor bears ho- nourable evidenec to the kindness, lenity, and liberality, with which the slaves as a body are trtated, throughout the island, and to the consequent happinhess which is diffused among them. If suCh, then, be the voluntary dis. position of the master, and sucl the practical comfort of the slave, where can be the objection to proclaim by law, that which usage ha3 already consecrated? Sir HUDSON LowE is said, in the WVest India papers, to have refused the goveinment of Autigua-not, of course, on account of a reduction of the salary.

There will be found stated in another part of our paper, an account of a really prodigious rise in the value of the shares of tljf company established for ,orking the Mexican Atin,es-4-' iise of from seventp3aunds, the money hitlerao paid, to upwards of seven hundred pounds, a sliare. Itis diffieult to know how to address enthusiasm of any-ildd; and there may be at avaricious as well as a religious enthusiasni; yet extravagant hopes are sure to end in disappoint;.aent. There does not appear to us to be any otler fraud practised in this. affair than that which the sipeculators prsctise on themselves., or each other: for, a report having sprang up that rnounds of goldeni ore had beem discovered on the smrface of -the earth, in some part -or otiier of Mexico, that report was offlcially and very properly colrntadict&l by Mr. TAYLOR, the ScrPetary to the Sa3ciety. "Should you some coast be laid on, Where gold andl diamondB grow z-&c., &c*" says G&vkY in hiis opera. But a tile pity of it is," tilat if gold and diamondsgrew in vast abunidance, tho possessors of them would not be rich. And with respect to tbis speeu. lation of working the Mexican Mines, inasmuch as it is a speculationi which lias industry for its basis, it has our ape probation--we lope it will sueceed1: but should the pre- cibils metals be founi(d readlily and in great qiantities, those very circumsaianceswould so diminisl) their value inEurope, that the speculators must still be content with mode- rate gains. Ile entreat our coutitrymicn, therefore, to pause a little, and not to become the (lupes of their own) imaginia- tiouis. This sevent-hundred-pound rise will, we have no dloubt, ore long,havc a proportionate fall; and then,perhaps, an enterprise reallv advantageous mray suffer untlily, from its provhig ina(lequate to satisfy-not the reasonable liopes, btu-tile absurd fancies of those embarked in it. Wl"hen we speak of the possibility of this enterprise prov- ing advantageous, we mean only to the speculators thein- selves; for with respect to Europe at large, the on]ly effict of anl increasetl circulating mediumn, whetiler by the adl(li- tion of gold or paper, would be, that all wotuld lie oblige(I to give a great proportion of that niediiti for the articles purchased-that is, the price of saleab!e conmmodities woutltt be iioiuinialty raised.

Every discussion in either House of Parliament, which touches the groand contested between the Catholics and their opponents, leaTes upon the mind a painful and awful impression . Lord LANSDOWN'S motion of Monday last came recommended by the strongest arguments of expe- rience, consistency, and prudence; it was still more power- fuily en-forced by a. division of sentiment among the Bishops, and by the frank admission of Lord LivmraooL, a decided anti-Catholic, that the grant of privileges not liable to abuse, would rescue the Government from the evil of "1 prolonging useless contests on immaterial points, which served no purpose but to render it Odious) with. " out any counterbalancing advantage." The motion was merely to place English Catholics on a level with the Irish -to deal out an equal measure of liberality to those who are few in number, affluent, enlightened, and incapable of effecting or meditating_ mischief against the State, as to those who are numierous, tsrbulent, ignorant, disaffected, L andinflamed agaisst the British Government by a course of real or imagined inijuries. The LORD CHANCELLORn took his usual prominentpartonquestionsof thisnature, andhetook it successfully,-in throwiing out Lor:dLANSDOWN'S bills. His Lordship seems to taink the Protstant asecndlency asinch enttied to protection as the abuses in Chancery. He yields I not an inch of either, but on extreme compulsion. The fact\ is, that the learned Lordl in all his discourses on Catholic I affairs. forgets one main element in the rationale of the: question-,-riz.1,he precedingrelaratio,s of the Popery laws, with the equal impossibility of recalling what we have al- ready given, and of remaining at that point to wlich those previous grants liave conducted us. With bigots, whether in religion or politics, all reasoning is undoubtedly thrown away: to their fears, however, we may address ourselves with some better chance of a hearing. Suppose six miUions of Irisli Catholics were in open rebellion, and a foreign enemy at the door, the speculative risks apprehended from -a sprinkling of Catholic Peers and country gentlemen in Parliament, would then, we imagine, be held of less mio- ment than they were on MIonday by,the Lords ELDON, C'OLCHIESTER, and their supporters.
