To THE EDITOR or THE COLONIAL HERALD.

“ Can such things be, And pass us like a summer’s cloud, \Vitbont our special wonder ?”

Sir; With reference to your correspondent’s letter on “Church Abuses,” which appeared in your independent paperoftlie 2d inst., calling upon your subscribers to fur- nish some additional light as to the nature and truth of va- rious rutnours that have been in circulation during the last five or six years, I cannot permit this subject to pass with-

' out expressing my cordial acquiescence in any measure that may tend to bring forward a full investigation ofits merits. I; have to observe, that the writer labors under a misconcep- tiotl_I as relates to the amount produced by the sale of the

' Glebe Lands, as Well as regards its appropriation—the stlln total being nearly £4,000, which is supposed to have been paid into the Treasury.

The portion derived from the sale of the Church Lands was rather more than £3,000, and was directed by the Home Government to be applied to Education, in connexion with the Church of England; lull the proceeds obtained li‘om the sale ofthe school reserved lands were to be devoted to ge— neral education. So far, the former tllny fairly be termed a

., Church Fund. It appears that the ostensible object of the

writer is to"proctirc an insight into the mysterious manage-

‘ merit oftliese funds. I am very apprehensive he will find

some difficulty in obtaining malty particulars so essential to this end, as those persons who profess to be well acquainted withtlie correctness of the reports alluded to do not, unfor- tunately, possess sufficient nerve and moral courage to ap- pear boltlly before the public, and expose all the parties im- plicated in this transaction, but prefer sheltering themselves under a pledge of secrecy, when divulging circumstances that would be discreditablc to the characters ofthe humblest person in this Island. These statements have at length called forth a series of startling queries, and it behoves us all to be united and firm in requiring an ample investigation into this important subject, nor to rest satisfied without re- ceiving a reply to each ofthe queries evidently submitted

for our guidance. ,

What a lamentable reflection, to find all parties so indif-.

terent to the welfare of the lower classes ofsociety—whctber

it be those whose conduct has called forth so much censure fir such a. length oftiine, and who have, in some measure, confirmed these unpleasant rumours by omitting any expla- nation to clear their characters,——the community who have made no efforts to bring to light. the abuse—or the clergy throughout the Island, who are bound, not only to preach the GoSpel, but to uphold all those principles of right and justice so strongly enforced by its Divine Founder! How much have the respectable portion of the community to

,_ answer for, in not having acquainted themselves with the

' 1; ‘ state of these fluids! All Trust Accounts are, oroogbtto be,

closed mutually, and signed by the Trustees—the nature of the investments and security ought to be clear and explicit.

Why are not their Accounts published, by which the truth

or falsehood of these rumours might at once have been ascer- tained? They were bound, by every motive both ofreli- gi‘on-aud morality, to examine into and oppose to the ut- termost any such abuses; but iftliey were induced to neg- lost their duty li’om indolence, fear or reluctance, they Wlll

w . . be deemed accessory to the injustice done to the ptiblic, and t1 V it will be in vain to excuae themselves on the plea of not L' being fully acquainted with the matter—that it was none of it '; their affair—or that they knew not how to prevent it. All 1' ' true Christians will see through such lukewarmness, and r learn how to appreciate them as friends or supporters ofa id, sound religious education for the rising generation. a; 3;, This subject has been fully brought before the public. ltt The truth of the rumours and surmise; reflecting on the n; . conduct ofthose who are or ought to be accountable for the at): safe keeping and just management of this fund, will now no 20’ doubt be ascertained. ,2 -’ ' ' S.

To THE Emma or THE COLONiAi. HERALD SW; 1 perfectly coincide with parts oftbe communication of VERiTAs, which appeared iii your paper of the 29th ult. The writer seems to be impartial. I am notprepared to say whether the Novascolian is a “ subject” which the Islander ought to consider beneath his consideration, for] have not an_oppurtunlty of perusing the JVovascolian; bttt Iam of opinion that the Islander’s cditorials,—which are conceived in seryllity to the ruling aristocracy oftliis colony, and dis- tinguished only by a culpable exaggeration 0ftlfe virtue of our oflictals, and by scurrilous invective against those who, from the principle of philanthropy, devote their time and their talents in order to effect all amelioration ofthe rwretcb- ed condition ofi'naiiy ofthe settlers of this Island—ought to be deemed unworthy of allusion or comment by an editor

ofany respectable paper;andI am happy to observe, Sir, that you possess the good sense and discretion to disregard his ribaldry against yourself, which shows him to be, not only “irritable and unregenerate,” but vindictive and de- praved. However, the circulation ofthe Islander is but coni- pat-atively limited; and its existence, it is apprehended, will soon be, altogether dependent on the “ family compact” and their minions, whose interests are notoriously inimical to the general welfare, btit which the Islanilrreudevours to advocate. Let them, then, provided for their creatures. \Vliy should the country be gulled to support a periodical which is so evidently an obstruction to its common weal? Manv who have been influenced to become subscribers to the Islander by the deceiving Prospectus and duplicity of its publisher- who declared, on soliciting supporters, previous to its publi- cation, that it would be a liberal paper—have withdrawn; and I know score: more that are determined to follow their example. Mr. Editor, tyranny continues to triumph. But it is a consolation to know that the people are becoming ener- getic, and will not be intimidated from seeking their rights by the p0isonous ebiillitiotis ol the hydra-beaded monster.
