G AZ E'I"I‘E, APRIL 19.

To run Ear-roii or IIisz.ian's Gssrrrs. Sir;

As you have published from the Church “'1'!- sms“Vigila‘nter’s" letter. and, as both the letter and the l".ditor’s remarks may in

rticulars have led to a false impression, I

eel bound, injustice to the Bishop and myself, to 'oIl‘sr a few words on the other side—-‘ Vigi- Ianter” speaks of “a positive and aggressive op sitilin,” on the part of our Bishop. to the Bi lo Society and other like constituted Socie- ties,evideneed by what he calls my desertion of them. He says “ surely that inﬂuence iaust be strong, that could induce such a long and tried.su porter to desert this Society, the.” I do not now how I can be said to have desert- ed the Society, when I was present at its An- naal Meeting. and have given no sign of desor- tion, except declining to occupy It lace u on the platform. It _is true that the isho as

objected to my being passed over as a Iector do

in in own Parish, when prayers are oﬂsred on heha fof the people. and to a dissentin Minis- ter being called on in my stead— but his Lord- ship does not expect the Clergy to separate themselves from the Bible Society. In a letter received by me onl a few days since, he says " I have never objected to any Clcrgyman ta - in art in it"—so that not the Society, much less the cause of Bible circulation, but the posi- tion in which a Rector, in his own parish, may be placed. is what seems to the Bishop to be inadmissible—and this applies, ot' course, to all public meetings of a religious cliaracter where a layman presides and calls upon when he will to open or close the meeting with way- or. llcrelofore I have gone on the platforin as one among a number of Christians, indiscriiiii- nately assembled, and linve waived, for the time being and in it mixed multitude, the coli- sideration duo to in ellico as Rector of the Establislicd Cliiireb; but as the Ilisliop viewed my presence. iinilcr sin-li cirviiiiistiiiiccs, in u dillcrcnt light. and, as his objcetioii seemed to me to embrace a point of Chiircli dizicipliiie, I thought it my duty to yi-.-ld-—iii.isinucli as the Bishop is the eonstitiited authority in such !n:ittcrs—and if we are bound to obey the Ili\\'5 ofa civil power, though they be not coiil'oi-iii- nblo with our own judgnieiit, I do not see how Clergyincii can avoid obedience to Ecclesiastical authority. pi'o\'idcd it be not cuiitradictory to the law ofliod. No one c.in appreciate more highly than I do the work of the Ilible Sou,-iety, so far as its circulation of the word is Con- cernod , but I am not so slll"‘, about its pl.itl'oi-in system. In years gone by. the great. ob_i~.-i-t was to promote tliu holy c:ius-- of .\‘criptiirc circula- tion, but now it would appear that It. now ele- ment is ailniiltcil. ():i the evening referred to, [was pained and oil'.:nd_-d by perceiving that the plitforiii was made an arena wliere the low Cliurcbnian denounced the high Cliuroliiiiun, and some of the Bishops were placed in imi- glious contrast with others, and this where the IJOIII was crowded with l)in-seotcrs: and on my complaining to the President of the Auxi- Iiary.I was told, that all this was allowable and that people might say what they chose on such :..pics—illustrating what “\igi|antcr“ means when he talks of the " freedom of action and liberty of speech which is_tho_ birthright of every Englishinan." Now, Sir, my belief is that such license ofspeech from tho platloriii is unnecessary for the udvaucciuenlt oil: the llible ciuse, and ex ting a renown o it on future evening. I felt myself debarred l_'i-out attending the meeting of the Jews’ Soeiot and as long as it is persisted in, I shall feel myself excli.idcd ‘from the meetings of the Bible Society in t iis p ace While “ Vigilantcr" sets aside the force of ordination vows, when the Bisliop‘s objections are referred to. am tol_d.elsewhere, that these vows render it imperative on a clergyman to drive out error, or, in other words, to _de- nounce the High Church before a ineetipg principally composed of Dissenters—s.nd,a Illi- that every one who does not_ support the Society is worthy of ‘Hill!!! con_ . nation. Such extreme views I be ieve to be lI'I_]|_ll't0IlI to the true interests of the Bible Society and highly unghristiap aim Iycdiaing vgiat is fe‘lt r wor , an ii in so rue more wﬁelyv members of our Apiistolic hurch who, but for such _appeals to the evil might " live in unity and Godly love. ’ '1‘

re aoine members of the Church of England . k

a who think roper to give all their su rt, as re rds thld printing and oirealatloiliwzf the to the Society for promoting Chris- led . That they are ri ht in not sstendin their hands also to the ritish and foreign sible Society may be, with us, a ques- tion; but, surely, we are notjustilsd in hold- lag them up to public contempt and perhaps hind, because they do not give their Ire gtgmlnga or their pound. where we re oars ! Innnoi but disa o alto ther with "Vigi-

soinc ,

I I

hater" when he in lies, t at the Bishop has-

dsnounced than V: io endeavour to ma Q fgglity of the prayer " that all who do confess gt, uoly name may agree in the truth of thy ho y word and live in unity and Godly lore. ’ .surely the method of doing even a good work is

to he considered. and people may agree in the’

truth and live in unity, if they be guided by Christian principles withoutjoining in all those

“ movements" which, in the letter referred" to, are deemed so essential to the welfare of man.” Tllﬂt IUIIIO of those movenicnti, conducted in u Christiaiililte manner tend, greatly, to the welfare of man, I fully agree; but it is not compulsory on Christians to join them As the Editor of the ('Imn'Ii I/Vilncn well quotes ‘- Let every man belullypcrsoaded in his own mind” —wliers they are multiplied, it would be lin- possible to iittcnd upon them all-and all that the Bishop has required ofiiie is that, while ' ining in any such iiiovcment, I occu y what

e conceives to be my proper place. Pam not aware that any other Clergymun in the Island has been addressed on the subject by his Lord- ship, and, therefore, whom he has denounced it is ‘hard to say—lie has simply prescribed to myselfa course of action in oliicial matters- virtually this prevented my standing on the platform at the Bible Meeting, but it is uotat all clear, that his Lordship intended it should

so.

I am Sir. &c., C. Li.oi'n, ector of St. I_"aul’s Church.

WI published last week the Law passed this ‘last Session giving an increased jurisdiction to the City Corporation. As the law stood, the

ity process could not be served without the limits of the City; consequently, if a person guilt ofan ofenee. against whom a warrant had cen issued, stepped into a boat at the end of the wharf, or got on board a vessel in the Harbour, he might laugh at the City au- thorities‘; so in the same way if he got beyond the bounds oftlie City into the Royalty. This is now amended and the boundaries of the City take in with them those parts of the lIillsbo- rough and the North Rivers, which are oppo- ' A warrant also which has been issued by the Mayor will now extend into the Royalty l

and Counties on being indorsed in the usua manner by a Uounty Magistrate. A very important alteration has been made in ‘that part of the Incorporation Act which gives the City the power of borrowing money. Instead of being limited to live per cm! the Corporation may agree to give the usual interest o ' six per cenl upon money borrowed, and thereby enable it with iaore certainty to command a loan when required. This is of great importance, for it is all time, that a system of sewerage, a copious supply ol'water—a necessary adjunct thereto- good level streets and comiaodious side-walks should be provided for, and the sooner they iire set to work about, the better. These and simi- lar iiiiproveiiients are works of time and labor, and involve ii. good deal of preparation. LU\'t!lS have to be taken, plans and csliiiiutcs to be made, i-alculatioiis entered into both as regards cost and ability to iiieet. the necessary expense ; and a Illllul)'.‘l' of contingencies to be anticipa- ted beforo opt-riitions are coniuionced iind which iiiateriolly facilitate those operations.

Now that Peace is to be made in Europe, Great Britain will have an immense fleet of vessels unemployed, a great part of which, she vvi ave no c for, and which il' laid up must deteriorate in value and usefulness. I allude more particularly to the fleet of Gun

tsof which I believe there are 250 ready

for sea, built by the best shi -builders in t kingdom. Would it not be po icy for the Colo- nial Governments to app] _for a ‘I’ mber of these vessels to be used as okcts be tween the several colonies. We coal‘ ourselves ilitably employ at least two of then. and have no doubt the other colonies could provide for is large number. Were the colonies united, this would he a subject for them to take up, and would no doubt be acceded to by Britain, even ifenly the interest of the money they cost were guai-ante.-d. perhaps cnisin from a sin- la colony the proposition might not be heeded.
