CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE MEETING.

The Quarterly Meeting of Charlottetown Catholic Total Abstinence Society, was held at their Rooms, in Powiial Street, on the evening of Sunday, the 26h January, 18-14.

Mr. ’tichard iValsh, V. P. in the Chair.

The Chairman in opening the Meeting, congratulated the members present on the heal'liy state of the Slimety, and on the increase ofthe Funds. Ilc Pxpatinted on the beneﬁts each member Would derive‘tlicrcfrom, if it would please God to visit him with sickness, or any other Aﬁliction. IIe ex- pressed hiinsclf rejoiced at the iiiinner in which several members come forward to give vent to their feelings, and ex4 plain certain particulars ro-lative to the Society, and who, at

This terrible calamity was caused by the explosion of the aicwly—iiivcnted gun ofthe Princeton, of which so much has Qieen said of late, and which, it was predicted, would asto- aiisli Great Britain and the world. The prophecy is not far from being lulﬁllcd.

The chairman ackuowh (turd that. he was high- Iv delighted at beholding thi- iiiost llIIIlIt-‘I‘OIIS and spirited Meeting ofthis Society, Vi Iiicli he had seen in this Town, for some time past: he exhorted the iiiciiihors, one and all. to perscvcrc rigidly in upholding their ph-dge.

It appears that the shower fell on a Sillnll space, probably not over eight hundred fcet square; and the ﬂakes rcseiii- Iiicil pieces of'iiloody ﬂesh more closely than any thing to which we can coriipare theiii. \thrcvcr the flakes fell on linen, tho ‘ blnud’ gradually spread over the cloth, leaving a thick ill-shy substance in the centre ofthe stain, which gave out an offensive, fretid smell. The clothes lines within the lioundsoftbe shower were almost all well stocked with newly Washed garments, and the ﬂakes fcll so thick that .eveu tho sunillest garments were stained, all having to he re~washcd immediately. It is our opinion that an aqueous meteor did all the mischief.

FIRE AT Cam-om—One of the destructive ﬁres which occur almost annually in Canton during the cold and dry season, occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday last, and we regret to say entirely destroyed the Danish and Spanish hongs, and a portion of the French. The ﬂames spread with great rapidity, and extended over a vast extent ofthe suburbs of the city. The foreign hongs by about midnight ,were in lll‘HIlIﬂanGﬂIlgel', and it was atone time feared that ,the whole oftlieni would be destroyed. At about SIX o clock ,ofWednesday morning it had nearly burnt itself out, and :was got completely under by eight o’clock.

To TIIE Eoi'ror. on Tue COLONIAL HERALD.

Sir; The well—timed remarks of your correspondent \VATCH, which appeared iii your paper of the 24th ult., on the system of Proprietorship enforced in the only Established Church in this town, call forth oiuch praise and commen- dation, especially at this piiicture, when the Venerable So- ciety for the Propagation ofthe Gospel has declared its utter inability to afford any further assistance towards the spiritual wants of this Island. This is much to be deplored at a period when ﬁve or six churches are without resident clergy- man, and the Gospel consequently is seldom preached to those who are very desirous of such privileges. We have still the opportunity afforded us of introducing the Colonial Church Society amongst us, who will readily grant us the support we so much require. This Society has generously and kindly undertaken to meet our subscriptions to the ex- tent of£100 stg. per annum, and are pledged not to send out knowingly a Clergymaii who does not fully preach the Gospel, norone who does not live as be preaches. These are strong and invaluable Christian qualiﬁcations, and it be— hoves us all to contribute liberally, with an earnest and ter- vent desire towards furthering such laudable exertions. It would be the means ofeiiabling many respectable persons, as well as the poor, to attend public worship in the Esta- blished Church, from which they have been hitherto so im— properly and unjustiﬁany exchided. '

The Proprietors, or rather the Monopolists, _of St. Paul’s Church ought always to hear in mind that the Slle on which this Church is erected was formerly public property, and was granted, 1 apprehend, with the view of beneﬁting all classes of the community. It must be obvious, that thongs the late Governor Young contributed from public moneys £150, and the Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel £100 Stg., with a salary to the Clergyman, they could not contemplate such a monstrous and glaring injus- tice as the expending their funds towards preaching the ti- dings of good news exclusively to the rich, andthus subvert; ing the holy text, “to the poor the Gospel is pyeached.’ Another evil presents itself, too evident to admit of any Just and honorable controversy. The house of God is become a house of mercliandize. When pews are offered for sale, the most exorbitant prices are generally demanded. After hav- ing for a series of years heard the word of God preached gratuitously, many of the proprietors do not now deem the irime cost a sufﬁcient return for the speculation. To be proﬁtable, the pews must realise from 3040 upwards of 100 per cent. How is this abuse to be remedied ? By annually and liberally subscribing towards a tund for the erection of another church. It may be urged, that the. Bishop would still withhold his licence from any Evangelical clergyman, whether or not in connexion with the Colonial Church So- ciety. How far his Lordshi isjustiﬁed in. thus preventing the Gospel bein'g preached y pious and faithful Ministers, remains, on his part, to be proved. It is, however,eVident, that the venerable Society is desirous of monopolmng the Island, to the exclusion of all clergyman not In connean with itself. III am rightly informed, an opinion has been recently given by one ofthe Episcopal bench, relating to the proprietorship ofpews, that no person has any right to claim any pew in a parish Church, unless-he obtainsaplicense from the faculty. Is not St. Paul’s a Parish Church . If so, sure- ly our worthy Rector _may, With propriety, investigatehthe subject. Let theIproprietors come forward, and redeem t eir

character, by meeting the honest and pious views pt the Co-

lonial Church society, and thus promote Christianity among all classes. 'Ihe introduction Oftliitt Society is much desired; but unfortunately among those who have not the means to carry it into effect. .Let them reﬂect, and recollect that there is only one Church in this town for it community of upwards of 4,000 souls. : Church accommodation oughtto have been provuled lortgagp. "What means a national Church, profes- ling herselftto be a nursing mother? :19. national Church thus crippled,-and made (as it were) to mock the poor, by tellingx them .she is designed for theta—the sPiior Man’s Church; bun-alas! when they come within tbealoors ofthe Sanctuary, they'ﬁnd the appropriated, and-in many-cases c'omtortably furnished pews occupied or oWiiedzby..inoiiopo- lists, and that but half-a-dozen small benches iu the gallery near the Windows, are the only accommodation allotted for the poor 'man.

These are and reﬂections, and are rendered. still more 89, by the knowledge that preachers are more successful in their iniiiistrutions with the poor than with the rich ; but were all professed Christians more bpiritually—minded, less disparity would be.made; the poor would be treated with far more consideration and regard than. is, unliappily, the case at present.

In conclusion, 1 may advert to a public meeting recently held by the communicants oftlie Church at Cherry Viillev, HIIWIIICII several Resolutions have been passed, expressive of “their suicere pleasure, that they now rejoice in the con— “summation oftlieir wishes and views, their church being

“completed and consecrated,” &.c., &.c.; but they appear to lose sight of the most essential object, iiiiinelv, the constant residence ofa clergyman among them, to oﬁihciate, not occa- sionully, but twice every Sunday, in Winter as Well as Sum- mer, with also a weekly service, and the daily visiting of his panshiopcrs. I would, therefore, suggest, for their immedi- ute consideration, the absolute necessity of adopting another Resolution, to the effect that a petition be forwarded to the Bishop, requesting him to withdraw his opposition to the Colonial Church Society, and grant his License to all pious and 'zealous clergyinen, who may feel desirous to reside in this Colony, and promote the relief of that spiritual destitu- tioc which exists to such a melancholy extent.
