SlR—This acknowledges the honour of your letter of the 9th instant, and answers its inquiry. I asserted in my " End of Controversy" that it is probable the Bishop in question died a Catholic, front my persuasion of the truth of the billowing parti colors t—That he expressed to a certain Catholic who had acme to !him in his illness, an un eas in ess i n hi s mi n d on th e score o f hi s • religion ;—that this Catholic a d v i s ed hi m f o s end f or a C a th o li c priest, and that he replied.

The parties oiltitied to, having long since quitted this world, I it is not possible to bring the matter to any tiling like evidence I ; but as I spoke of the fact barnly as probable, I may be allowed to I retain my opinion, on the known credibility of my informants.; which it in no way irapeacited by the declaration of your inform ants, who barely speak to whit they thenisekes witnessed. In case, Rev. Sir, you should took further into the work you have mentioned, you will meet with the names of other Protestants, who, in their. last illness, became, or wished to become- Catholics, ' while not one instance eon be produced tufa Catholic, who washed to die in any other religion than his own. 1 have the honour to remain, Reverend Sir, Your obedient and humble Servant, ; Wolverhampton, Feb. 14,1813. J.lllstarEu. Copy of a letter from the Rev. B. F. Ifallifax, to the Rev. J. Milner, &e. Batchcott, 12th March. 1825. REY. Sr a—lt was my intention to acknouledge your favour before, nod to express my thanks for the early I otice with which you honoured my letter of the sth February • a wish, however, to ascertain some facts, before I again olotrade ' d myself upon your notice, has caused this delay. You observe, In your letter of Fehrnary 14th, that you asserted in your work, it is probable Biahap Ilullifax died a Catholic, from Tour persuasion of the truth of the particulars which you give me in detail. That impression you beg to retain, on the known ere- , cre dibility of your informants. My opinion, whichhas certainly suf.; fte.:d no s tian g e, that you, had been ntairiformad with regard to the I Rillsop's relfOotis sentiments at his last niadCenis. I advanced on the ground that a strong presumption against the probability men ' firmed in Note to p. 77 of your work wooly' be raised from ve- 1 fereoce• to toy father • published *arks : fOr instance, ho rn Oat Wirburtoninn Lectures, and his Intrndoethin hithe Analogy of Bishop Butler. The motives which induced him to edit that work are distinctly avowed by himself. Farther, on the declarations of those whom I stated to be still surviving; who, it must be sup-'' ported, were likely to be well acquainted with his real sentiments. I have no objection to mention their names, viz that of my mother, and the eldest of her unmarried sisters. I may add, there are many other considerations whi tit justify mein retaining my opinion that you have been misinformed. I trust, therefore, it is not now unreasonable for me to request you would acquaint vie with the name or names. rank in lite, and `respective residence of your informant or informants, if more than one. At what place. and how long previous to the Bishop's death, they. or any one, hail access to hint ? Whether you received your information from than directly your. self, and how lorg a tune afa r the Bishop's death ? I have al ready stated that I know not whether the note in question appeared in its present form in the earlier editions of your work, or, I add, any notice, except perhaps allusion to his writings, was there taken of his name. 1 have no wish, Reverend Sir, to be intrusive, but my motive in making this request, I trust, cannot be misunderstood. 1 have the honour to remain, Reverend Sir, Your obedient and humble servant. B. F. HALLIFA X. To this last letter no answer was returned. Every good man, we think, must lament that so solemn an appeal to the conscience of Dr. Milner should have been made with so little success. liis evasive letter bears in every line the stamp of the Jesuit ; but there are circumstances under which the exposure of guilt is as complete without confcs ision u with it, and this is one of them. EPISCOPAL FLOATING CHAPEL SOCIETY. A public meeting, to constitute a Society for dispensing Religious Instruction to Seamen, according to the principles and discipline of the Church of England, was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, Bishopgateaareet. The meeting, in consequence of the extreme heat of the weather, was by no means numerously attended. At half-past two o'clock, the eash was taken by the Right lion. the Lord Mayor. Ills LORDSHIP observed, that having been requested to take the Clair on the present occasion he lad complied with that request, because he was aware of the great importance of the subject. livery individual in this country must be convinced that a greater desire, a more general thirst tor knowledge was daily spreading over the world, and it became therefore the duty of all who was able so to do. not only to prevent any opposition to improvement. but to contribute to the utmost of their power to extend it. He did ' , not feel it necessary to enter latgely into the subject before the meet-' ing. because it was impopible for any person to look back upon littwerry and not perceive how much this country was indebted to its navy, which had done so much under most trying circumstances, and had been for so many years the grand bulwarks of our safety. More especially were we, who live in a land whose principal de pendence is upon commerce, bound to administer to the spiritual and the temporal wants of our seamen, and to hint it was matter of surprise that the feeling on the subject, which now appeared to be so genera _l, was not long since called into action.

When urged to Satisfy his conscience, lie exclaimed, • Ind slien trill become of my lady and my Aiitircnr" It would be difficult to invent any charge which could more effeetnally brand the moral character of the prelate against whom it is adduced, or more painfully afflict his surviving relative., than that which ill contained inilte I above paragraph. A heavy accountableness rests upon the writer if lie shrinks from the proof. We shall come to his Conduct on this had by and by. In the mean time we I quote the following impressive and animated comment from the pamphlet before us : .• Reflect, I beseech you, upon the excruciating and perilous situation in which Dr. Halifax must have been placed, if your nar rative.

He, from want of conviction. could not time consolation in the Church of EnglnaJ, and from want of fortitude he did not seek it is the Church of Rome. 1p a man so accustomed as Bishop Bolles was to the study of theology, such a change of sentiment as you have ascribed to hint.' could not be instantaneous.

"Pen tously, therefore. to his dissolution, while offend by sick pees sod oppressed by age, he must have sufkred many a pang from conscious insincerity ; and opon the near approach of that dim eoletion, he was doomed to breathe his last in a disgraceful and dr.adfid conflict beta eta timidity cad piety—bet wean culls upon his prasknot, from the praise of men, and upon his CJISOCKPICY, front the approbation of God—between the impulses of paternal and conjugal' slimiest oroo one hand, and of self-preservation upon the other— between the opposite and irreconcilable ir.tereits of time to his family and eternity to hie own soul.
