VAN DIBMEN'S LAND Oa the order oriki;dayT;t going into committee of duPPIY, Mr. ANSTEY moved" an humble address to her Majesty on the subject of certain illegal ordinances or acts of council for the taxation of the people of Van Diemen's Land, the attempts of Lieut.-Governor Sir W. Denison to intimidate the judges of the supreme warts of that island into declaring such ordinances or acts to be legal, and the grievances com plained of by the colonists of that island in their petition presented last year to her Majesty, and printed by order of this house ; and that her Majesty may be pleased to direct the local a9thorities in future to respect the independence of the judicial functions of that court, and also to signify her disallowance of any or dinance or act nbeequently passed by the said lieutenant governor in council, (or giving to such illegal ordinances er acts the farce of law." The hon. member laid this petition which he had presented was signed by 1,670 most respectable colonists of Van Diemen's Land, and the allegations con tained is it might be verified by reference to the statemeata put forward by Sir W. Denison himself, in his own defence. In a letter dated Feb. 18, 1848, Sir W. Denison informed Lord Grey that the judge, of the supreme court had decided that the act 9 Geo. IV. 0. 83, under which alone the legisla tive council could proceed, had been violated by the council with respect to a large amount of taxation ; that in conse quence of this violation the act of the council was a dead letter; and that actions had been brought successfully spinet the officers of the government to recover money which had been illegally levied. To secure the colonists against arbitrary taxation, it had been provided that no taxing ordinance should be legal until the money levied under it were appropriated to local purposes, to be specified in the act of council ; and the house would recollect that the colonists had always resented the withdrawal of local funds by the Colonial-office to be appropriated to imperial par pews of police ; for example, to maintain the costly and per. ' Aiwa system of transportation. As recorded the matter nwisr cossideration, an application was first mule to the reesesse to authorise the appropriation of a portion of the taws W keel purposes. The law officers of the crown were of opinion that the whole of the money must be paid into the imperial exchequer ; and fa consequenee of that decision the colonists appealed to the su preme court, which decided that the legislative coun cil had acted illegally. In this state of things, Sir William Denison, having, in fact, no legislative wawa to assist him since the judges had decided that the members of it were set properly nominated, promoisil, according to his own statement, to consider bow he amid remove from ones those who administered the law. With ibis view he called apes the judges to furnish him with espies of their jadg saents—a demand with wtokh one of them, Sir John Loeb Polder, at first refused to weaptgi bat LidiWg that his ten-compliance was saisesnsftled, be did a:length hirable a copy of his juigmest undar protest.

As the matter stood, it fa tal* appeared to him a most extraordinary eirenostanos. The house then adjourned at 12 o'clock. sembly as legal, andaigy to be altered in the model ds !ermined therein. ovAlr he urgency of this motion having been support s by the neeessary number of members (120) a committee of 21 was appointed in the sections to report on it. ihe National Assembly of Frankfort, as was to be hump, have stuck firmly by their constitution, and thereby rendered impossible all transactions between 'the government and them as to modifications, atleast fa essential points. An understanding between the Prussian government and the smaller slates seems equally problematical, Saxony, Hanover, and Wurtem berg being ready to accept the law from Frankfort, so that there would be ea little chance of agreement among the German princes themselves as between them and the National Assemb. The difficulties Web Austria interposes in the face of a policy so evidently impracticable under all points of vises u that of the Prn Sian government are really hardly worth considering : for were Austria, instead of being cleft to the heart, in the proudest hour of her might, her yea or nosy under such circumstances would be ineffectual. The first grand indispensable step to the oneness of Germany Is evidently the fall of the Brandenburg ministry, and the breaking up of the military tyranny which suppresses the vote, which gap the voice of this nation on the question of all others oust intimately connected with its power and prosperity. But it looks as it the ministry were re solved to die hard : and it seems highly probable that they will dissolve the chambers. FRANKFORT.—In the sitting of the National Assembly on the 13th inat a motion Rae brought forward to the effect that it should not be dissolved until the new imperial diet had met, and that no government should have the power of rrcilling any of the members of the National Assembly. This motion was indirectly negatived by being set down as one not of urgency. The Assembly passed to the order of the day en the petition of several owners of pablse gaming establishments, respecting unkind es forth* suppression by the National Assembly of all ench'plues in Germany on and after the Ist of May next. It appears that Wiesbaden demands not less than four and a half miUions of florins, and Hamburg nearly three millions. One of the members suggested that these demands would be best met by declaring that, all persons keeping open public gaming esta blishments after the led of May next should be sen tenced to five years' imprisonment in the house of correction. FRANKFORT, Aran. 12. Yon know the French proverb about "working for the King of Prussia," i. e., giving your Labour for nothing. This old saw expresses pretty accurately the actual position of the German parliament. For a long time the majority in that Numbly have been making unprecedented exertions to prevail upon the German people to take the King of Prinelia for their emperor, and just at the moment when their wish appears to be on the eve of realieetion, the King of Proseia in his own person refuses the crown. Frederick William V. wi ll not have another opportunity afforded him to make good his inconceivable blunder. One could have understood his reasons for hesitating to accept the crown : one could have pardoned him for de claring that he would not accrpt it without the con sent of the other princes of Germany ; but he has gone a step farther. Even in his official answer he lets it peep through that he is unwilling to receive the crown at the hands of a parliament sprung from the revolution. He has been more explicit in his private conversations with the delegates from the Frankfort parliament. He sneered at some of them, and attempted to be witty at the expense of others. He spoke of the revolution with truly royal contempt, and of the Danish war with sympathy for the King of Denmark, whom he considers "his personal friend and one of the most distinguished of living monarchs." In flue, he has done all he could to alienate his beet friends; for the deputation was com posed of all that is most Prussian in sentiment in the parliament. The affairs of Germany are more complicated than ever by the result of the King of Prussies election. The public mind begins to ferment anew. The pre vailing expression is one of despair of accomplishing anything for Germany so long as we have to deal with thirty and odd princes. Every man who speaks his mind freely, who says openly what he thinks, declares "we must get rid oft he whole batch." It is the party of the extreme Left who are gaining by this state of affairs, and if Hteker had not wasted all their ammunition before there wu any chance of moons, their blows would now be really dangerous and itemidable. But Hecker and his friends have tho roughly frightened the bourgeoisie : the German din eiples of French socialism have terrified ell who have anything to lose. This has not, however, prevented the party from regaining a footing in German politics. At Frankfort, as at Berlin, they have taken up • position apart from and independent of the majority of the Left, who, since the con stitution was voted, recognise it as law, and as the sole ground upon which they can combat the ene mies of German unity and independence. Yesterday a fraction of the extreme left voted again with the Austrians and the absolutists, with a view to wound the constitution through the central government. They proposed to declare the whole of the constitu tion a fait accompli, and finally settled by the vote of parliament, with the exception of the chapter which relates to the chief magistrate. There was a show of logic in their argument: "You wanted the King of Prussia for an emperor ; the Kir g of Prussia declines; Eemost, therefore, alter this chapter." But the ma ly of the parliament replied : " Wait till we see." truth is that the last hope of the majority rests upon the faict possibility of the Kirg of Prussia's changing his mind or abdicating. This is the reason why they wish to temporise. I believe they are in the right. At present the par liament has, with 'cutely any exception, publie opinion in its favour; the princes of Germany will be obliged to make the next move; this move will be a dangerous one for them if it is openly directed against the constitution and the parliament. The parliament will in that case have the whole of Ger many for it. If the move of the princes against the parliament is an act of violence, this will ensure irre vocably the establishment of the liberty and unity of Germany, even if the princes were able to persist in their attemat coercion for years. The parliament, therefore, " bides its time." It has this day appointed a committee to examine into the actual state of affairs, sad devise measures for the enforcentent s y the consti tution.

A special general meeting of the members of th;s society took place last evening, at the York Hotel, Upper Wellingtou.street, Strand, to consider the fallowing reso lution passed at the last monthly meeting of the society That it is the opinion of this oseetbsr that the Westminster &kraus will be consulting their beat interests, and the welfare of the society in general, in becoming members of the Financial and Parliamentary Mikan Amedation, under the presiCsary of Sir Joshua %Insley ; • sad that a general meeUag be celled to take the subject into auseideration.' On the motion of Mr. RBI% seconded by Mr. Danxts, Mr. Ozpoxwas called to the chair. _ _ Mr. HUOORTT, the secretary, having read the above moieties, The CHAIRMAN said ha wee not present at thinned's", at which that resolution had been coos to, and was not aware that such a raionticia was notemary. Believing that every esterase was aware of the existence of the Metropolitan Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association, he con cluded they would all join It, as he had done him self,: sad had nought to obtain subscriptions for it. Still he was glad this meeting had been celled. He thought the Association had done well to embrace parliamentary reform as us of their objects, for he considered that the principal matter. From a recent publication he found there were 60 towns re turning 86 members, whose eggregats population fell 237 below that of the Tower Hamlet., which only returned two members. (Bear, hear.) He believed that until parlia mentary reform was obtained them would be little chance for financial reform, remembering how few members there were in the House of Commons who really represented the people. He hoped every real reformsr would join the Aoso elation, so that London might no longer be behind L'verpool and other places in the country in this respect. (Hear, hear.) As the Association would require large funds in order to diffuse information, he trusted liberal contributions would be made to it, although a subscription of a shilling was sofficiect for membership. Mr. PROUT considered this matter the most important which had occupied the society's atteteion for tome years. As an old reformer, he had hien much dissatisfied at finding that the Reform Bill did not answer the expectations of the people, and that many of the new constituencies were so limited as to be little better then the old boroughs. This had arias* from ths paucity of the coustitnente and the want of the ballot. About a peer ago the people had suncerfully resisted the increase of the Jaen's, tax; and the necessity was then made abundantly endentof a reform both financial and parliamentary. The latter could only be enforced on the public attention, by exposing the gross financial tttieman &gement which had taken plow ; mikes this were dine par liemenary reform might long be demanded in vain. But once convince the people that many millions were annually taken out of their pockets without occasion, and there would soon be a strenuous don for improvement of the represents. don. (Rear.)

That a OW fli this ematution be forwarded to each member of this society. (Hear, hear.) He expressed his confident hope that four or lee such district associations might be got up by the members of this society, whore machinery was peculiarly suitable for the purpose A GENTLEMAN said he hoped they would bring " the General" to account. (Hear.) Mr. PROUT said he had no doubt this would be done in fine time. (Hear, hear.) He had already taken crepe for the formation of such an emaciation in his parish, that of St. Clement Danes. It was not proposed that this society derald, as a body, merge itself in the Metroi.olitsn Amu's- den, but that Ito members should individually become mesa- ' bins of that body. By adopting such a course he doubted net that in a twelvemonth much progress would be made towards the attainment of the object of the invention, which numbered amongst its members some of the most talented and infletentialememben of parliament. (Hear.) Mr. LABRAM seconded the motion. He was convinced that parliamentary reform was the only stepping-stone to bancial reform. One object of their own aniery was " the ezteuirm of the suffrage to all persons paying a rental for a beau or any part of a house, and having been resident therein for a period of not lees than six months previous to vegistration," Hitherto they had lacked leaders, and it was the duty of every member of this society to embrace the op portunity now offered of enrolling themselves under the banner unfurled by Sir Joshua Walnurley. (Hear, hear.) By so doing they would immensely strengthen the efforts made in parliament by the friends of reform. Mr. BERRY asked If the principles of the Metropolitan Association were before the meeting. Kr. LABRAM said they were contained in the letter of Sir J. Walensley, which had been read at the last meeting. Mr. BERRY said he was what was denominated a chartist, but was glad to join any association which recornised the principle of progress with regard to the suffrage. He hoped to see the time when Westminster would be as forward in the work of liberalism as it had been formerly in the days of Burdett. (Hear.) Mr. MILEY was glad to learn that this society was not to be wholly absorbed by the new association, but would continue to exist. lie thought there was something aristo erotic in the constitution of the council of the Metropolitan Association, none being qualified but subscribers of 101. annually. Mr. PROUT.—That is not exactly so, because the council is constituted have power to elect any other moats( re. Mr. MILEY still thought it was a property qualification. The prevailing evil at present was a disposition to widen the chum between the higher and lower cleans of society. (Hear.) Nevertheless the objects of the association were kmdable, an d if properly carried out, would no doubt be beneficial. Ile rejoiced that public attention was now di reefed to financial reform; the exposure, especially in respect ' le the navy, had been most remarkable. (Hear.) Mr. PROUT again referred to the constitution of the council of the association, and said it was necessary to have gentlemen on the council who subscribed liberally, in order that they might canvass with greater effect, being able to point to their own example. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MACINTERE said the qualification for the council of the Anti-corn-law League—the most successful modern example of agitation—bad been much higher, a subscription et 601. being required. Some such qualification was neces sary to ensure the efficiency of the council. He hailed the association as one of the best evidences of the time—as a means of amalgamating classes that had been too long dis united. (Hear, lieu.) Mr. HUGGIETT said he had communicated with many of the absent members, and found them generally disposed to support the Metrop olitan Association, having the fullest con fidence in the gentleman et its head, Sir Joshua Walmsley. (Hear, beer.) He believed members generally would jots the association, but be doubted whether they could make much progress in forming district associations until the views of the Metropolitan Association were more clearly defined with regard to the suffrage. Mr. PROUT said that Mr. Hume's proposition of last simian wu so liberal that it would increase the electoral body by 'enrol millions. If any definite object was to be attained, autuel concessions must be made by the advocates of different degrees of extension of the Buffrege. I Unless some partial extension were first made, it would be long before the great object of universal suffrage was attained. The CHAIRMAN said the Westminster Reform Society weasemmarily eefinite in its views as to extension of the of he understood that the principle of the new went to the extent of lodger suffrage. The resolution was then put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. BUNOAY wished to submit a resolution for forming a land association to purchase small freehold,. Mr. PROUT maid that was one of the objects contemplated by the Monopolies& Association, by whom it would be much better carried out. They had already formed a committee for that nurse. Mr. BUNGAY, on receiving that assurance, would not press his resolution. Several gentlemen present then enrolled themselves mem bers of the Metropolitan Association ; and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. MARYLEBONE REFORM ASSOCIATION. Yesterday evening a numerously attended meeting of the Maryiebone Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association took place at the Portland Booms , Foley-street, Portland-place, for the puree's of enrolling members and obtaining signatures to the petition to parliament already adopted by the association . J. Mums, Esq. having been called to the chair, Mr. A. MICRIE, the honorary secretary. read the sew- Intim adopted at the meeting of the paruhioncrs, held in the workhouse yard on the 27th of February list, which were unanimously re-adopted. Messrs. Scums, W. WILLIAMS, HINIIRTT, and BARNARD addressed the meeting, in explanation of the objects of the association, as set forth is the Workhouse-yard resolutions, and impressed upon those present the necessity of making a combined constitutional effort to procure a diminution of the expenditure of the government, and a more direct oontroul over it by the people, by a further reform of the Reuse of Commons. The speakers enumerated a long catalogue of acts of extravagance chargeable on the prevent government in re spect of their management of the colonies and the crown lands, the unnecessary augmentation of the army and navy whisk they had sanctioned, and the large amount of pensions granted to the aristocracy. It was shown that the taxation required to sustain this extravagance was the chief came of the widely spread and increasing poverty of the working classes of the community ; that the present mode of levying taxes was extremely unjust, and pressed unfArly on these least able to bear its weight, and that while the people re mained supine, any reform or amendment was utterly hope less. Several members having been enrolled, and a large mins ber of names appended to the petition, which lay for signa ture in ins room, the proceedings terminated. METROPOLITAN TRALNLRO INSTITUTION. Yesterday a public meeting was held at Free masons' Hall Fir the purpose of forming a Church of Ragland Metropolitan Training Institution. The chair wee cresupted by Lord AenLIT, and the proceedings keying been °ras a with prayer by the Rea. D. Wilson. The CHAIRMAN, in an elegant Wilms, laid before the s o en public .‘ eof eu tk p e pot:t u ; . misting the claims which the proposed saw inttitution kid upon i try and aa tzil d l o s f li the ed m ika tabileh it w e la d ch On u e ra a these establishments which was pirticularly wanted in the present The Rev. J. Harding read the report of the previsional committee, which set forth the proposed rules and regula tions of the institution. Contributions in aid had been pro mised to the amount of 9,8471., of which 7,1791. bad bun received ; and annual subscriptions to the extent of 6861. had S7lO been promised. The committee had purchued High bury College, Islington, as a training establishment for 80 young men, for the sum of 125004, towards which the COM mince of Council of Education had promised to contribute 4,0001. ; but some thousands of pounds would still be required to carry out the plane, particularly if that portion of the pro ject which had reference to the usng of females were hen after to be promoted. The Rev. E. BICKERSTETH moved the adoption of the report, in along and eloquent speech. The Berl of EFFINGHAM Wetly seconded the adoption of the report. The Rev. F. CLOSE, of Cheltenham, proposed the second resolution, to the effect that, in conformity with the recom mendations of the provisional committee, an institution be established, to be called the Church of England Metropolitan Training Institution; and that the rules and regulations re commentted in the report be the constitution thereof. Ho enlarged upon the necesaity of additional training schools; on the importance of having the Went institution con ducted on right principles ; and on the value of having the education imparted of an intelligent as well as of a re ligious character. He stated that the 160 male and female teachers which it was proposed to train would be able to educate 160,000 children, and that no human being could foretell the advantages to the church and the world which the new institution would be instrumental in conferring. JOHN LABOUCHERE, Esq., seconded the resolution, and, in doing so, referred to the defective principle upon which training and teaching was at present conducted in London and the country. He advocated the propriety of founding the proposed instigation, because it would intro duce new and improved plass in this respect. Ho stag d that the Roman. catholic. had been in treaty for the purchase of Higlibury College, but that, to the honour of the trustees of that building, they preferred the acceptance of a smaller nun from an instingon like the pro , sent, with which they reggioludy coincided, than a larger sum from those with whom they conscientiously dis sented. (Applause )2 - The Rev. Dr. McNEILE, of Liverpool, moved the ap ?ointment of the committee. He was very decided in ob ;wing to the committee of council of education giving money to the support of popery, but he wee also equally de cided in taking money from that committee for the propaga tion of scriptural truth. He hated popery. He was born and bred to hate it. He bad hated it through life, and he should continue so to do until death. But, while he thus detested end protested against it, he never pasted • day of his life without praying (or the emancipation of the slaves of that system from the spiritual bondage by which they were enthralled. He anticipated the day when the archbishops and bishops of the church would give in their adhesion to the infant institution, in the same manner ea they patronised the Church Missionary Society after it had been several years in existence. He and others were now the pioneers of this institution. They were reconnoitring the country, and bearing the brunt of the action, end here after the generals and commanders-in•chief would head the army and share in the victory. He then enlarged upon the plans and objects of the institatioci, and sat down amid ap please. The Rev. C. BARING seconded the formation of the committee. The several resolutions were unanimously adopted. Upon the motion of the Von. Archdeacon DIALTILT, Se conded by the Earl of WALDIORAVE, VOUS of thanks were owed to the noble chairman and the Rev. Dr. McNeile, and the meeting separated. Vie erprefA. OUTGOING MAILS.

KWH WATIM AT LONDON DAMON. Too Dk• —Nosior.4l oda. wit S; ARIMISS. 13 oft. pool A. Tearamaow—Wesoloj, I Ws. paO )S; Attookoodilr NAL pm I% LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 17. EVERT one must be anxious to read what so erni at nt a as M. donor thinks as to the present state ofF= D oe, and would recommends, to its future policy. Few, therefore, will have seen his nets at the head of his address to his friends and ales ors without perusing that document. Yet few can Nail it without being greatly disappointed. M. GUIEOT says, what almost every Frenchman has been saying for the last six month,, that it is necessary for men et all parties to rally to the cause of order, and to put down the anarchists. It appears tons, however, that this his been done satisfactorily. After the trial and condem nations of Boners, after the severe sentence and es; patristion of M. PROUDHOB, after the law prohibiting clubs, after the taming down of the National As sembly, sufficiently exemplified in its lest vote, giving all their old pensions to all the ex-peers,—after this, i what more sto be done for order we do nor see, except to enjoy it, and, if possible, to mingle some consideration for liberty and its principles with the all-pervading and all-absorbing duties of the pace. M. Omar, however, once astride of public order, cannot bring himself to dismount from his old Anal de batailk, teen after tte cembet is over and the victory won. M. Ouizor declares that order is more fiercely attacked and more weakly defended than ever; that its friends have still to league, and much to do ; that they have yet many more victories and of another kind to achieve. If M. °vizor has any meaning in his words, he must mean that the duty still remains of overturning . the republic and re storing monarchy. M. GUIZoT, in fact, scouts the re public; stigmatises it as a form of government that is not serious ; and what he demands is neither more nor leis than a general conspiracy of all the monarchic parties to put it down. And M. Ovuor preaches this doctrine in the name of order. Tters is not a child is France who is not pert ctly aware that the rival parties who dispute the French throne could not fur a moment come to a truce or reconciliation, except on the basis of a repair lit. The republic existing, legitimist, Orleanist, Bonapartist, join hands. Take the republic from under and from amongst them, and civil war is in stantly proclaimed. And it is for this civil war that M. GUIZOT with his restless nature straggles. What he rally looks to is a modern French war of the roses, whilst he pretends merely to unfold the banner of pablio order. In France, as in other countries, public order would reign of itself if ministers and monarchs would bat allow it to do so. M. Omar laments the overthrow of two constitutional monarchic'. But what over threw them? Their restless, and meddling, and oppressive governments. Order was fully established b-th by elder and by younger BOURBONS; sad CHARLES THE TENTH and LOUIS PHILIPPE bad bat to let well alone in order to have died on their thrones and bequeathed them to their chil dren. Bat POLIGNAC would make a crusade in person in favour of what he considered order ; and bi. Omar, in his worship of order, would not let M. BARROT make an after-dinner speech without employing his police to stop him. In both cases it was the extravagant pursuit of too rigid order, and the pedagoguish determination to rule modern society like a school-room. This it was that produced the two revolutions of 1830 and 1848. And this it is that will produce another in 1850, if M. Gomm be returned for Calvados (of which there is every probability), and thence becomes powerful enough to get up another of those luckless conserva tive crusades in favour cf " order." If French statesmen would but allow society to take care of itself, societ y . would soon put down pertarbators, scout communists, keep the peace, de fend order and property. The form of government is of little consequence, provided it be in unison with the character and organisation of the people. A monarchy is indispensable in England. A monarchy, for any length of time, will never be respected in France. If any one firm conclusion could be drawn from the events of the last half century or century in France, it is, that the French must bays and will use the right to change the person and the family holding the chief executive office in the state. In France a man, to be the monarch, mist show the same qualities as are required of a man to be a general or a minister—he mast show fitness, talent—most win popularity and success. No here ditary claim will alone su ffi ce. None are more wiil log than the French to allow something to hereditary claims, and to give the son of a prince or of • great men his chance. But if he be not up to the mark—it he do not prove that he inherits something more than a name, his hereditary title will not even ran a trien nial lease of power. The present constitution, ander which the French live, seems folly to provide for their habits, their freedom, or their weakness, in this respect, and gives regal means and vent for diseatisfaction aid for changes, which otherwise require the extreme of revolut'on. By observing the constitution, we have no doubt that LOUIS NAPOLEON may reign over the destinies of his country to the latest day of his life ; r ay, bequeath them to a BONAPARTE, if there be one of ability and good reputation. Bat if LOUIS NAPOLEON listens to M. GUIZOT, and rides that statesman's war horse of Public Order to tramvle down the public liberties of the country—if, nA contented with power underthe title of President, he ihoald exchange his present position and chair, for the throne of the Tuileries, and at the same time for the councils and support of the GUIZOTS and the POLIGNACS—then, the power and influence of the man would become the weakness of the prince, and Loots Mammal! would add his name to the list of his predecessors, who in seeking to rebuild an impossible past, flung themselves and the country into an ungovernable present and a most unee-*- if future. tee sic land GERMANY.

Sir Culling Eardley presents his compliments to the Editor of the Expressould begs the favour of him to publish the accompanying letter. TO Till EDITOR OP THE TIMER. TORQUAY, APRIL 14, 1849. Sin,—Yon have stated, with reference to my friend Mr. Shore, that " this is not the C 930 of a conecientione dissenter, or a dissenter at all, persecuted for his dis sent. It is the cue of a clergyman who declares he is no dissenter, publ cly officiating without, and in defi ance of, the diocesan authority, and doing this in a building which had been built and licensed for the services of the church. . . . Mr. Shore's perse cution is a sheer imposture. . . . As for the legal proceedings, Mr. Shore left the bishop no &net native but to institute them." I regrtt to say that if any one has informed you, or if you have read anywhere, that Mr. Shore had not declared himself a dissenter previous to the performance of the service for which he has been erusecutA, your authority has given you false information. On the 28th February, 1844, Mr. Shore wrote to the Bishop of Exeter as fellows : Bridgetown. Feb. 28, 1844. My Lord Bishop,—T beg to enclose for your lordship's perusal the correspondence which has pssied between Mr. Cogent and myself on the 'abject of Bridgetown Chspel, and I take the opportunity also of informing your lordship, that it being found impossible to obtain your lordship's sanctioner license for me to resume my duties, Bridgetown Chapel has been licensed apart from your lordship's jurisdiction, and as I car not thick it right, particularly under present circu ea tames, to leave my congregation, to whom I am sincerely attached. or to allow them to cantinas without the pubic ordinances cf religion now I have it in my power to resume my minis , Undone among them, I feel under the painful necessity of stating to your lordship that, u your lordship's sanction cannot be obtained, I can no longer consider it as contrary to my duty to officiate in Bridgetown Chapel without further licence from your lordship. Indeed, as the chapel is now licensed apart from your lordship's jurisdiction, I am given to understand that further license from your lordship is un necessary. Al'hough I cannot but be deeply grieved at the lamentable result of this affair, yet I am consrled by the re flection that as I am altogether ignorant of any reason for the opposition so unjustly maintained against me, so I have done all in my power to prevent the painful alternative which hu been forced upon me. I have the honour to remain, my lord bishop, your lord. ship's very obedient and truly humble servant, JAMES SHORE. To the Right Reverend Lord Bishop of Exeter. 27, Parliament-street, Feb. 29, 1844.

Sir,—l have received from your clerk, Mr. Smith, a pro hibition* slimed by the Bishop of: Exeter and yourself against my officiating in Bridgetown Chapel, but u I had previously withdrawn from his lordship's jurisdic'ion, and the chapel is duly reTistered in the Archdeacon's Court, I am at a loss to eonceive on what ground this document is for to me.

It will be my duty to communicate your letter to the bishop ; and I only feel it necessary to say that the document is addressed to you u a clergyman who had been performing duty in the diocese under the circumstances thereto referred to, and that it is a prohibition, as you ob serve, against your continuing to officiate in Bridgetown Chapel. I am, air, your very obedient servant, RALPH RANNES. Rev. J. Shore, Bridgetown, Totes. . - . On the 22nd March, 1844, Mr. Shore wrote to Mr. Barnes, the Bishop of Exeter's secretary, si follows : Bridgetown, March 22, 1844. Bir,—l have received your letter of the 16th Match inst., informing me that my communication would be forwarded to the bishop, and also that the " Prohibition" had bee* sent to me as a clergyman, and as such I presume you imply under the jurisdiction of the bishop. In order, therefore, to avoid the possibility of mistake in this matter, I think it right to acquaint you that I no longer regard myself as a minister of the establishment. When I found it impossible any longer conecientiously to submit to the discipline of the church, as administered by the bishop, I felt it my du'y to withdraw from his lordship's jurisdiction. I accordingly wrote is his lordship to this effeet, and tbinking that this was all that was necessary I officiated without hesitati at in the chepel as being registered under the Toleration Act. I have made particular inquiries, and I find that this has been received as a sufficient declaration of secession from the esta blishment in other cases which have occurred in this diocese ; but if more is required in my case, I shall be obliged by learning what it necessary.
