Chamber of Commerce Meeting.

Haurrax, March 6.

The annual report of the Chamber of Commerce Executive to-day declared that Sir John Macdonald's assurance regarding the completion of the Short Line Railway, via Fredericton and Moncton, were un- satisfactory, and insisted that nothing but its speedy completion would satisfy the just demands of the people of Nova Scotia. The Chamber condemned the expenditure of public money to build up foreign ports with trade and _ traflic that rightfully belengs to Canadian ports, and demanded that our _ subsidized steamers should make both summer and winter terminus in Canada. The Chamber re-affirmed its demand for the construction of the missing link in the Western Counties Railway system, called attention to the large number of steamship lines now run- ning to Nova Scotia ports, and rejoiced in the general prosperity of the country.

The Suit Against the “ Mail.”

Toronto, March 6.

Referring to the libel suit taken against it by the Jesuits order the Mai to-day says: ‘*‘Wedid not undertake to prove, nor can we undertake to disprove the authenticity of the document, any more than we could undertake to prove the authenticity of ‘secret instructions’ which Jesuits also repudiate, but which are given in full in such a standard work as Larousse’s Dictionnaire, du XLX Siecle.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. English Church History.

Sik,—Mr. Haviland’s lecture at Cherry Valley appears to have been an eifort on his part to disprove any connection between the early kings and Church of England, and the Popes and Church of Rome. from your report, the evidence adduced is scarcely sufficient to sustain his case. At the landing of St. Augustine, the land now known as England was completely subject to the Anglo-Saxons, while the remnant of the Britons who had escaped the war of ex- termination waged against their race exist- ed only amongst the wild marshes aud mountains of Wales. The Christians were few in number, and they held no intercourse

with the savage race who had seized ‘heir land and sijain their kindred, At:gus-

tine brought about a better state of af.airs. The conversion of the King and 10,000 men of Kent in one year gave the Christians 4 foothold they ever afterwards maintained. The Church of England, as distinguished from the early British Church, which it ab- sorbed, dates, therefore, from the reign of Ethelbert ; and as Augustine was sent by Pope Gregory on a special mission to Eng- land, it is safe to conclude that Ethelbert and the converts of his race accepted the authority of the Pope with the Christian faith. The mission sent in 429 by Pope Celestine goes to show that the See of Rome was not in ignorance of the existence of the British Church at an earlier date than 596. Other evidence in support of this can also be§ furnished. From this date until the Norman Con quest there is no historical evidence of a break with Rome. Indeed, we find Bishop after Bishop crossing the Alps, to receive the pall. In 814, Ethelwulf went tu Rome, where he was received with every mark

covered with mystery, which, even in the processes instituted against them by so many kings and nations, has been but par- tially removed. If the authenticity of the oath is denied, we are perfectly ready to record the denial. What we are not ready to deny under any threats, 1s that the doc- trines embodied in the oath are substan- tially those which have been preached by Jesuit doctors and exemplified in the history of the Order.”

The members chafed under to-day’s en- forced idleness, and many advocated the abolition of the surplusage of statutory holidays. ;

Toronto Tidings. Toronto, March 6.

At a public meeting held last night under the auspices of the Orange Lodges, and _ at- tended by a large audience, resolutions condemnatory of the Jesuits estate bill were passed with great enthusiasm.

of esteem by Pope Leo lV. This king, im his will, charges his heirs with the obliga- tion of sending to Rome three hundred mancuses each year. Alfred, his son, executed the trust. Having been sent to Rome, in 853, he was there, con- firmed by Leo, and his_ relations with the Church were most intimate. About this time, the tax, called Rome-fevh, aiterwards known as Peter's Pence, ap- pears to have been upon the nation, It is needless for me to cite instance after instance of kings acknowledging the auth- ority of the Church of Rome. Everyone will cail to mind the names of William L, Henry !1., and Jobn, and admit that the ‘‘eaceptions prove the rule.” Mr. HaWijand, inspeaking of theacts of op- position to th@church which took place during the reign of Edward III., forgets to men- tion that the Black Prince, the bravest knight of his age and heir to the English crown, had to obtain a dispensation from the Pope before he married his cousin, the ** Pair Maid of Kent.”

it is hard to agree withthe statement thac the reversion of the property leased to the Crown inAlfred’s reigniproves the ‘* contin- uity of the Church of England.” It shows the continuity of the laws of Eng- land. Evidently the State Church granted that lease, and the land reverted to ithe State Church when the term of lease ex- pired. It would be interesting to knowthe ‘‘identical corporation” that received the rent during the reign of Mary, and just what effect the confiscations and laws of Henry VIII. and the acts of the reign of Elizabeth have had upon the final reversion of the land to the present Church of England.
