On the motion of Admiral APKENLEY Sir Charles Malcolm was unanimously voted to the chair. The secretary, Captain DICKSON, then read the minutes of last quarterly meeting, and a statement of the accounts, which showed a balance in favour of the So ciety of 839/. Bs. lld. He also read a letter from Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, President of the :iociety, stating that being from infirm health incapacitated from attend ing the meetings of thu Society, and otherwise attending to the business of it, he begged to resign his office of President. He did so with regret, but he conceived it to be fur the. interest of the Society to have a president who'could fully attend to the duties of that office, and as he felt himself unable to do so, he had resolved to resign altogether. The CHAIRMAN said he was sure that there would be but one feeling of regret among all present, that the gal lant old officer had found it necessary to resign. The- meeting then proceeded to the election w a new President, when Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON moved that Sir T. Byam Martin should be elected to that office. . Admiral Dif . KENLEY seconded the election, which was agre€d to unanimously. CASE OF MISS SARAH HOARE. Lord CADOGAN then brought forward the motion of which he gave notice at last meeting, for a committee, to be chosen by ballot, to inquire into the case of this lady, and to hear her in defence of the charges brought against her. ,The only mode, therefore, of clearing up the matter was the appointment of a committee, and he thought, if chosen by ballot, that committee would be all the more satisfactory. He therefore entreated them to allow a committee, and let the case be proceeded with fairly and regularly. Sir EDWAiiD CODRINTON seconded the motion, and suggested, before they went further, that the instructions given to the last committee, and their report, should be read, which was done. After much irregular discussion, Lieut. ANCSINK deprecated the discussion of such matters as these in the society. They were sure to have a bad effect on such bodies. If he understood the matter right, Miss Hoare did not come within the rules of the society •, and as their rules ought to guide them, he did not see how there should have been such a dispute about the affair. lie concluded by moving that Miss Hoare's case should be dismissed altogether. Admiral MICENLEY seconded the motion. An amendment to Lord Cadogan's motion was then proposed by Capt. DREW, to the effect, that inasmuch as no charge was preferred against Miss Hoare, either by the Secretary or by the Society, Lord Cadogan's motion was uncalled for; and as, the documents given in evi dence to the Secretary were given in confidence, they could not be given up fur the purpose of being made public. The amendment was carried by 49 to 8. Another motion, by Lieut. GARDENER, that the reso_ lution of the 20th April last, not to receive Miss Hoare's letters be rescinded, in order that she might have an opportunity of presenting another application, was alio lost, by 28 to 15. A- sub-committee for the examination of memorials was then appointed, and the applications for relief hating been examined, the meeting adjourned. The proceedings throughout were very stormy. A VETERAN CRIMINAL.—The following is given as a summary of the character and history of the man • named Cutmel, now in custody for the attempt to murder Madame Morand, at Vaugirard :—He is about forty-two years of age. He was condemned in 1828 to five years' imprisonment for an unnatural crime. He was liberated on the 22d of May, 1333, and in November following was again committed to prison for a few months for rob bery. In 1834 he was arrested for a highway robbery in the night, and sentenced to hard labour at the hulks for ten years, which he passed at the Bague at Toulon, and was discharge din March, 1844. Since that Lime he has lived by petty robberies, and in January and June, 1845, was again sent to prison for a few months each time. Since his present arrest, finding that the evidence against him is too strong to be resisted, he has openly avowed that, when he went to Vaugirard, it was with the full intention' of murdering both M. and Madame Morand, and stealing 800 f., which they had acknow ledged to their nephew they had in the house. To this he has added a confession, that he had concerted with Coulon and the nephew of the Morands, the murder and robbery of a woman at Montrouge, who keeps an eating house, and her servant-girl. To all this he further stated, that only a few days ago he killed a drunken man, and after stripping him, threw him into the river. On being asked how he could be so cruel as to take the life of a man who was incapable of making any resist ance, or of appearing against him afterwards ? he re plied—" Ok I it was only getting rid of one grumbler more."—Getlignani's Messenger. Less OF A CLERGYMAN, NEAR SNowDoN.—An event, which has, without doubt, terminated in the death of a most promising young gentleman, a clergyman of the Established Church, recently occurred at Llanberris. It appears that the Rev. Mr. Starr had, for some weeks, been on a pedestrian excursion through. the most roman tic portions of North Wales, and that he had been in the habit of regularly corresponding with his friends and relatives at Northampton, of one of the parishes of which town he is a curate. Not having heard from him for some time, his mother and sister became alarmed at his long continued silence, and ultimately determined to set out for Llanberris in search of him. Mrs. and Miss Starr reached the inn at Llanberris on the afternoon of Sun day, the 4th instant, and on inquiry learned that a gen tleman, answering their description of Mr. Starr, had passed the night there about three weeks before ; that on the following morning he left the inn, and ascended Snowdon ; was seen on his descent from the mountain, and was again seen at the top of the pass, where he stopped at a house, and obtained some water to quench his thirst. He then ascended another mountain on the opposite side of the pass, termed the Glyder. He was next observed on the summit by a man named Hughes, living at Llanberris, who, at his request, accompanied him full half-way on the descent, and after pointin g out the path left th e un f ortunate gentleman to pursue his way alone. After going some short distance Hughes warned him to keep to the right hand, as the evening was becoming very misty, and there was the danger of Llyn cwm Fgnon, a dangerous spot, to be avoided. Mr. Starr was never seen afterwards, and no doubt is entertained that he perished on the mountain, having lost his road on the bleak and barren ground he had to traverse. The grief of his unfortunate relatives on hearing the particulars of the sad catastrophe may be magined, the more especially as no ground for hope is left, the proof of identity being further Supported by the fact that the gentleman seen on the Glyder had only one glove on, the fellow to which was found in the baggage of Mr. Starr. Search has been made for the body with dogs, but hitherto without effect. INTERMENT TowNs.—The Registrar-General's last report informs us that the mortality in the metro polis is higher than that in the country, being in the proportion of 2,294 to 2,209 per cent., a clear proof that there are some causes in operation to shorten the lives of the inhabitants of large towns. What those causes are it is the duty of the Legislature to discover, and, if possible, to remedy ; and one of them is so plainly in dicated by Mr. Chadwick, in his supplementary report on the practice of interment in towns, that we consi sider it quite unnecessary to reargue this part of the question. Those who contend that the practice is not in jurious to health are taking up a view contrary to fact and reasoning, and contrary to the principles upon which they proceed to legislate in other cases. Other argu ments have been adduced in favour of a change in the practice, and among these we may select that which is based on the indecency of the practice. We know, on' good authority, that in a certain London grave yard, in which the soil is rank with the decomposed remains of the dead, the charge for interment is re gulated by the depth—a practice, we believe, quite com mon in the metropolis. A person is informed that, by the payment of a high fee, a coffin will not have to be re moved from the grave in order to allow another coffin to be placed beneath it. The low fee leads not merely to this act of desecration, perpetrated as it mustbe under the eyes of those who ought to be most earnest in checking it, but probably to the entire removal of the body, the selling of the coffin and the funeral ornaments, with the destruction by fire, or in other ways, of the last remains of the dead ; and so nicely are the fees adjusted, that the earth piled at the side of the grave is calculated in the measurement as part of the depth, whence it happens that even when the remains are left undisturbed, they become a source of putrescent exhalations to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Many flagrant instances of the desecration of the re mains of the dead have been recently made public, and we are coolly told, in reference to these abomina tions, that when they have once taken place the parties may be punished by indictment ! No consideration ap pears to be given to the prevention of such indecencies by removing the causes—i. e., by shutting up and entirely prohibiting interments in graveyards, whether private or parochial, already overcrowded ; but these gross of fences are to take the chance of exposure, to'lead to the expense of a parish prosecution, and the risk of a compromise or of an acquittal upon some trickery or technicality in the law proceedings, With the existence of a proved public evil, a certain in jury to public health, and the fact that the pre sent practice must in time cease of itself, it is scarcely necessary to examine the arguments which have been adduced for the continuance of this vile practice. Thera must be a limit to the elevation of graveyards above the street, and to the enlargement of vaults in churches, unless some secret and i nex p ens i ve method is taken, by those who profit under the present system, to get rid of the surplus bodies. The annual interments are now much about the same as if the whole population of Leices ter were brought to bo buried in London. Decay cannot proceed fast enough, and it will require more fre u.' t holocausts, or more f requent contracts with (last cottitrt;kc• tors to cart away as rubbish h uman remains in order to make room for the increasing deaths in a rapidly in creasing population. Legislation but sooner or later a measun be protracted, Will it may upon the Legislature either for pr(Aiding cemetries-out of towns and cities, or for pre' renting. that . secret and extensive desecration of the graves which in some measure tends to postpone the necessity for immediate interference.— Medical Times, THA ARMY.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself , as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimo n y to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Rogenator. feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak , or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the bead occasionally , every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few dross on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The mud delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necess ar y companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the heal ; If v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. it produces hair on children's heads in a few apppllcations. If used on infants' beads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S CHARGE. _ The Right Rev. the Bishop of London held a visita tion of the clergy of the metropolis yesterday . at St. Paul's Cathedral. His Lordship was received at the western door by the prebendaries, canons residentiary, &c., at half-past eleven O'clock, and was immediately conducted to the episcopal throne. Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Packman, and the lessons by the Rev. Mr. Hall ; after which an able and eloquent sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. M`Caul from the second epistle to Timothy, 3d chaptei,loth and 17th verses. At the conclusion of the sermon the Bishop of London pronounced the benediction, and the Right Rev. Prelate then: proceeded to the east end of the cathedral, and took his seat on a chair within the communion rails. Archdeacon Hale sat on the prelate's right hand, the canons and minor canons occupied chairs on either side, within the railings, and the other clergymen present seated themselves on benches in front of the communion table. Mr. Shepherd, the registrar, then called over the names of i the clergy who had been required to attend the visitation. This ceremony having been concluded, The Bishop of LONDON proceeded to read his charge. The Right Rev. Prelate commenced by observing, that the four years which had elapsed since he had last ad dressed them from that place bad been marked by a series of events of the deepest interest and importance to the Churcliof Christ in this realm. Some of those events had been of a very painful kind, while others had worn a cheering aspect of encouragement and hope. The most remarkable of these varied features in the recent history of the Church might be regarded as appropriate subjects of contemplation on such an occasion as the present; for God's dealings with his heritage ought surely to engage the serious attention of those whom he had set over his household to give them meat in due season. It would be his (the Bishop's) endeavour to place some of these topics before them for their consideration,• that they might draw from them those lessbns which they seemed designed to teach the Church at large, and especially its ministers. They would naturally expect, however, before he entered upon any other subject, that he should make some allusion to a charge he delivered at their last synodal meeting, and which had given rise to much discussion and had called forth the expression of a great variety of opinions. He might have availed himself of this opportunity to enter into a lengthened defence of the opinions and counsels he had submitted to them on the occasion to which he alluded ; and he might have vindi cated himself from those imputations which no person who did not wilfully misconstrue or strangely misunder stand the plain language of his former charge, could have cast upon him. He might easily fortify the position he had taken when be last addressed them by the authority of many of the most able defenders of our reformed Church ; and he might have re-asserted, under cover of their venerable names, what he was persuaded were the true principles of its doctrine and discipline. But he wished to avoid all controversial topics, lest he might revive disputes which were now happily subsiding, if they had not altogether ceased. He could not, however, pass over the subject altogether without offering a few words, if not in self-defence, at least in explanation as to the motives which prompted him to recommend a closer adherence to the rubric than had been generally practised for many years previously. He could not state his opinions more clearly or succinctly than in the words of their venerable Primate, addressed to the clergy and laity of his province, in the pastoral letter issued by his Grace early last year. Speaking of the differences which existed as to the directions of the rubric, his Grace observed S—" There have, I apprehend, at all times been clergymen who have been distressed by this inconsistency ; and of late years it has been regarded by many excellent men as irreconcilable with the obligations which they took upon themselves on their admission into holy orders. Under the influence of these scruples, they thought it right to adhere as closely as possible to the letter of the rubric in their ministration ; whilst others of their brethren, not less conscientious, have been determined by considerations, in their estima tion of great weight, to follow the usage which they found established in their respective churches. Under these circumstances, a diversity of practice has arisen, which is not only inconsistent with the principle of uniformity maintained by the Cistirch, but is sometimes associated in the minds of the peciple with peculiarities of doctrine, and gives birth to suspicions and jealousies destructive of the confidence which should always subsist between the flock and their'pastor. To prevent the increase of an evil which might terminate in-actual schismsvas confess edly most desirable; and the most effectual mode of accom plishing the object, it has been thought would be found in general conformity to the rubric. Universal concurrence in this easy and obvious regulation would have combined the several advantages of securing compliance with the law of the Church and the land, of putting a stop to un authorised innovations, and of excluding party distinc tions, in their character decidedly unchristian, from the public worship of God; and I cannot but regret that mea sures which, with a view to these good purposes, have been recommended by high authorities, should not have been received with unanimous acquiescence as the means of restoring order and peace, without any departure from principles of the Church, or offence to the most h scrupulousle con science." These words precisely de scribed the view which he (the Bishop of London) in tended to take of the subject, when he found a growing diversity of practice existing idit the churches of this diocese, and when he was applied to by many of the clergy as to the proper course to be pursued. It certainly appeared to him that, while the consciences of those clergymen who were distressed by a sense of these in consistencies of practice would be relieved by a more exact compliance with the rubrical directions, no mi nister of one church could object on the score of con science to do that which he had expressly promised to do, first, on the occasion of his ordination, and next, on being licensed as the minister of a particular church or chapel. He (the Bishop of London) did not, there fore, hesitate to repeat, with greater particularity, an opinion he had expressed in a charge he delivered nearly twenty years before, and to advise the clergy to act in more strict conformity with the rubric. If there had been, on the part of the clergy i n this diocese, that universal concurrence to which the Primate referred in these views, no general or serious objection would have been made on the part of the lay members of the Church. They could not well have stig matised compliance with the law as evincing a sympathy with any particular opinions at variance with the doc trines of the Church ; but the refusal of a comparatively small portion of the clergy to act upon his.recommenda dons had precluded those advantages which he had hoped might have resulted from his advice. It was not to be wondered at, under these circumstances, that the laity should regard with, suspicion a return to a more regular mode of celebrating divine service, especially when many innovations which were really intended as such, and which were most objectionable, had been at tempted. He (the Bishop of London) was not disposed to censure with harshness that dislike to change which, in this instance, if it had been carried too far, proceeded generally, if not in every case, from real attachment to the services of the Church. The refusal on the part of some of the clergy to carry out his recammendations, and the speedylreturn of many others who had suggested them to former practices, placed him in a situation of great delicacy and difficulty with respect to those who felt themselves under a solemn obligation to follow the express directions of the rubric. In several parishes a clamour had been raised which it was impos sible to still by reason, and the peace of the Church was threatened with interruption. He, therefore , thoug h t that, however desirable uniformity might be, it would be purchased too dearly at the price of that irritation and discord which would certainly have resulted from an attempt on his part to enforce in every instance compli ance with those rules, the observance of which he had contented himself with recommending. Under these circumstances ho deemed it right, after consultation with those whose opinions he was bound to respect, to inform the clergy, as opportunity offered, that he did not re quire them to observe that degree of rubrical strictness which he still thought would be desirable. At the same time, it was clear that he was not at liberty to direct any one not to do that which the letter of the law required strictthat some of obedien ce the t parochial the l him to do. The utmost l e ngth to which he (the Bishop of London) could g o was t o a b s tain from enforcing He thought was was well h aware is aw cierg clergy duty to uphold them at all hazards, in opposition to their parishioners, in requiring strict compliance with the letter of the rubric ; but . it was evident if be had done this in any one parish of his diocese that he must have done it in all, and this was a course of proceeding upon which, with a full conviction of the consequences which were certain to follow, he was not prepared to enter. Under all the circumstances, he considered him self bound rather to consult the peace of the Church than the wishes of individual clergymen ; and he thought . that those of his brethren who were at the moment dis : posed to complain of his not having effectually supported them in their endeavours to carry out his recommeada- Lions, would see, upon reflection, the extreme hazard of the only mode in which he could have done so, and would make due allowance for the difficulties of the position in which he was placed. In justice to himself, however, he was bound to say that, upon a calm and deliberate review of the opinions be had expressed in his last charge, he could not discover anything that he need scruple to avow. lie considered that, as to those points which related entirely to questions of doctrine, he was called upon in the present state of the Church to express his views freely and without reserve ; but with respect to matters of outward observanee and disc pline he did not think he would have felt himself bound to press his opinions upon the clergy had he been fully aware of the amount of prejudice and misinformation which prevailed upon such subjects. lie wished this observa tion, however, to be understood as applying only to those questions of rubrical observance which had been the more especial subjects of difference between the clergy and their flocks, and not to questions which in volved, directly or by implication, any point of doctrine. To use the words of his Grace the Archbishop—" All change in the performance of the service affecting the doctrine of the Church, by alteration, addition, or omis sion,. I regard with unqualified disapprobation. I may further remark that the danger to the Church would he great, if clergymen, not having due respect either to episcopal authority or established usage, should interpret the rubric for themselves, should introduce or curtail ceremonies at pleasure, or make divine service in any way the means -of expressing their own theological opinions or perty views." It was, he was fully per suaded, by the use of unwarrantable license in these respects, that some congregations had been led to doubt the scriptural character of some of the offices of•tbe Church. They had been prepared for the admis sion, first, of the ceremonies, and then of the doctrines of the Church of Rome, by the introduction of unautho rised forms and gestures in the celebration of Divine service, and especially in the celebration of the sacra ments. This led him in the most earnest manner to protest against the publication, by any clergyman of the Establishment, of books of devotion or confession com piled by them on the principles or from works published by the authority of the Church of Rome. There could be no better method of unsettling or perverting ardent minds from the truth of Scripture. He confessed he could not understand how any one professing to be a member of the Established Church could reconcile it to his conscience to be accessory to such a proceeding, the effect of which was to diminish the importance of cer tain fundamental differences which separated the Church of England from that of Rome, and to cause weak minded persons to regard at first with complacency, and then with affection, some of the worst errors of that Church. lie could understand such a course on the part of one of that society to whom it was permitted by their Church to disguise a sacred truth for a specified tempo rary purpose, but he could not comprehend the delusion by which any one could persuade himself that in acting thus he was pursuing his duty as a faithful soldier en gaged in the ministry of the English Church. He looked upon such a step as an act of undisguised hostility to the Church, and, deeply as he deplored the loss of those who, from having been among her ablest defenders, be came her revilers, he would rather see them pass over at once than continue within her pale, with the dis honest purpose of seeing how much of the Romanist system might be engrafted into the Church, and how much of error might be made compatible with the truth. Under the strong impression that every approach to the practices of the Church of Rome, not entirely con sistent with the spirit of their own Church, was not only needless but dangerous, he would caution them against the propriety of joining an association or confraternity for the purpose of mutual intercession. The professed object of such an association was that, as the duty of mutual intercession was enjoined by the holy apostles, it must, therefore, be right and proper that Christians in this day should remind one another of the perform ance of such a duty. But he did not see the necessity, and he greatly questioned the prudence of their joining any body for a similar purpose but that to which they already belonged—the Church of England. One obvious danger arising from such a combination was that it fos tered a spirit of party. They who refused to join it were apt to be regarded by those who had as lukewarm and inconsistent, and its members would perhaps find that they would be obliged to carry it into effect by ob jects not at present contemplated. This was one of many objections which might be urged against what had been called the Evangelical Alliance. Although this was an association which contained the elements of disunion within itself, yet he felt bound to express his strong disapprobation of it. It had been said by many zealous, well-meaning men, that the Church of England might publicly from time to time unite in prayer on certain days for certain specified objects; and, though he considered such assertions somewhat pre sumptuous, as coming from persons not holding authority in the Church, and therefore not likely to have a very considerable effect, yet it differed materially from another proposal that had been made, that the names of the persons comprising a contemplated brother hood should be registered, in order that they might have particular objects to pray for at specified seasons. Such a plan was open t) the objections he had already stated— that it was likely to form a secret party in the Church, and that it taught the necessity of doing something more than the Church instructed its members to do. This as sociation proposed several objects of intercession, which were to be remembered at the communion, but in which proceeding there was danger of the error or misconstruc tion pointed out by the 31st article. He who, in partaking of the eucharist, accepted it not only for its benefits to himself, but also on behalf of others who were not par takers of it, was in danger of being led on by successive steps to believe that the priest obtained the remission of sins and that he offered a sacrifice for the living and the dead. But while he cautioned his younger brethren against forming themselves into a society ror mutual in tercession, he entirely agreed with the duty so proposed to be performed. A special duty was laid on them by the present state and prospects of the Church. The con version of surrounding countries, the advancement and preservation of the faith, and he would add the recovery of those who had lapsed, he thought needed that they should seek Divine help. For such objects special prayers might, perhaps, be required. In reference to this subject he might advert to the present difficulties with which it had pleased Divine Providence to involve this country, by visiting the people of Ireland with severe is 9a i n n d te w rc h e i s c s both public and private. The sh might fitly become the subject of dtr particular es ion, systematic efforts rece n tly ma de to revive certain opinions and practices which had been usually regarded as belonging to the Church of Rome had tended to per plex and unsettle tender minds, and to prepare the way for an acknowledgment of that church by some of that sex whose sensibilities were the livelier, and also by others of their own sex whose minds were of the same class. Of the latter, some were caught in the meshes of their own subtlety; others were perplexed by too great reverence for the authority of antiquity; but, after all, how inconsiderable was the number of those who bad left the Church in compaiison with those who, by God's blessing, held - the faith in purity. A few had seemed to be misled by the treacherous light of poetic mysticism, and others had fallen a prey to Romanist sophistry, for want of sound and well-digested theological learning. It therefore behoved the clergy to be prepared, by sound argument, to resist the approach of ,that adversary. In pursuing these studies he would strongly recommend his young friends to direct their attention to the subject of the Papal infallibility, which was strongly connected with the Papal supremacy. -He was persuaded this was the most weak and untenable, and the least dangerous of all the grounds on which the Romish Church claimed allegiance, but it was that which was most successful in ensnaring tender consciences. No attri bute was more gladly recognised in a preacher than the assumption of infallibility. Unstable and ill informed minds were most easily captivated by the promise of. a speedy and conclusive settlement of their difficulties; and this was the leading feature of that *delusion which made so many captives—of that master spell which gave potency to the deceitfulness of men's minds. To be assured by a professedly infallible crea ture that he was in possession of the truth , that he was of g h it t irn e w a l t a ei s of nterpreter of the mind of J esus his Church, and that those w h o believed whatever he commanded, and p ractised all that he enjoined, wer e secure of salvation, was too comfort ab le Christ, e ri o s zly an d le a doctrine not to be easily embraced by many who could not substantiate practically to their own minds all that was included in those grand fundamental truths of the Gospel—" Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved," and " Without holiness no man shall see the Lord." It very commonly happened that persons who were very imperfectly instructed in the grounds of their faith, and who had quitted their own Church for that of Rome, in consequence of the doubts suggested to their minds by the writings and conversation of subtle dis putants, assigned as their sole reason for the cha nge that the comfort they longed for they fancied they had found in the shelter of an infallible authority, which spared them the trouble and responsibility of thinking and judging f or themselve s. These people told them that inwar d conviction was far better than argumentative dem onstratio n. But was it not marvellous thata person who h a d a to l era bl e acquaintanceeither wi th the volume o f i nsp i rat i on or the records of history should be persuaded to venture his salvation in so frail a barque as that of Papal in falibility—that infallibility which at different times had stamped with its impress the most discordant and irre concilable doctrines and practices—tha t infallibility of which the most learned doctors of Rome had never been able to define whether it resided in the Pope alone, or in the councils, or in the canons of the Church ? This portentous doctrine of infallibility was, in truth, the very keystone on which the whole system of Romish error rested ; and if they removed it the whole fabric would crumble into dust. He (the Bishop of London) particularly recommended the clergy to make themselves masters of the arguments on this question. The asser tion of the Pope's supremacy necessarily involved the assertion of his infallibility ; while the admission of his infallibility led directly to tho admission of his supre macy. He hoped the clergy would not fail to endeavour to remove from the minds of their people any doubts • ht have been led to entertain by the statement they might that the English Church in wasl4 state of schism. Every thing that could be said on th i s s u b ject they would find in the works of Archbishop Cranrner ; and he need hardly tell them that ev argument which could be urged ju support:9f ou cb y an assertion had been fully refuted in Dr. Barrow's excellent treatise on the Pope's supremacy, of which Archbishop Tillotson said that no arguments of moment, nor any considerations properly belonging to the subject, had escaped the writer's large and comprehensive mind. But so reluctant was the Church of Rome to relax those artificial chains by which she bound down the reason and consciences of her children, that her partisans had lately be taken themselves to the use of a new wcapon of defence, which, if its temper were knowp ar.d proved, would of necessity, as it appeared to him, destroy the charm of infallibility. When her champions were long ago defeated upon Scripture ground, when they were driven from tradition, and when the great Diana was unable to protect them, they proceeded to undermine the very foundations of the Christian faith itself, by advancing a theory, or rather by expanding into a formal system a principle incidentally put forth centuries ago by more than one writer of the primitive Church. This theory reduced the Christian Scriptures, from the eminence on which they had hitherto been placed, as a final and con clusive revelation of the Divine will, to a mere vague, obscure, imperfect announcement or suggestion of God's counsels,—representing them as containing principles to be unfolded from time to time, as the exigencies of the case might require, and as men's minds might be pre pared to receive them ; and it was assumed—for clearly it could not be proved—that the Church ve sted with the important task of elucidating those principles was no other than the Church of Rome. It was manifest that this theory involved in itself the radical principle of infidelity. [To show the opinions held by the pro fessors of this theory the Right Reverend Prelate quoted extracts from the works of Muller, a German Rationalist, and another leader of the same party ; but from the rapidity with which his Lordship read them, and the unfavourable position for hearing in which the re porters were placed, it is impossible to give the extracts with anything like accuracy.] It appeared to him that the common sense and honesty of every tolerably well-informed mind would at once revolt from this theory, whether propounded by a Romanist or Ration alist, as being inconsistent with the -essential character istics of the Gospel:revelation,:and that they would be in no danger of being entangled in this web of sophistry. He believed that the theory itself would, ere lung, be found to be far more dangerous to the system of error which it had. been contrived to uphold than to the truth which it was intended to subvert. He left it to others to expose the mischievous and insidious tendency of this theory, and already many able advocates had come for ward to undertake the task. In closing his allusion to this subject, he wished to recommend to the notice of his brethren some excellent tracts on the errors of Popery, drawn up by the Rev. J. H. Tyler, and pub lished by the Society for Promoting Christian Know ledge, with a view to counteract the attempts now made by the emissaries of Rome to unsettle the minds of the members of the Protestant Church in this country. Those tracts were admirably adapted to the end in view, while the clergy would find a more ample treasury in Mr. Brogden's useful and able publication, "Discourses on the Errors of the Church of Rome," from the writings of the divines of the 17th century. He would now quit this topic, recommending them to make it the subject of daily sup plication in their prayers that these unhappy divisions might be removed. He would now recal their attention to one or two points to which he had adverted in his last charge. One was the duty incumbent upon them to celebrate Divine service on each of those days on which the Church cele brates the leading events of our Lord's mission. In ad dition to the nativity and crucifixion, the great events of ,ihe circumcision, the manifestation to the Gentiles, and the glorious ascension of our Lord, ought to be celebrated. For each of these occasions the Church had provided ap propriate collects, epistles, and gospels, and the last was ..specially intended by the Church to be held in remem brance. St. Augustine spoke of the celebration of the ascension as so ancient that it must have been appointed by the apostles themselves. Another point was that of daily prayers. It was now 18 years ago since he had expressed a wish that the experiment should be tried, such being the practice of the early Church, and of their own better times. He had stated it to be his belief that, if the practice were carried into effect, a considerable number of persons would be found to profit by it. He now desired to repeat, with respect to the metropolis, his opinion that, if it were unnecessary to solemnise daily prayers in every church, yet that they ought to be read in churches not inconveniently distant from each other, by an ar rangement for that purpose made among the clergy, and that in every large parish, having more than one church, there ought to be a daily service in one of those churches, so that none of the people should be deprived of the opportunity of attending daily prayers. lie trusted that no one would be deterred from a fear.of superstition from returning to this practice. In a work published in the year 1714 it was stated that there were forty-two churches in London and Westminster, besides St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, in which daily service was celebrated, twenty-five of which churches were in the iity of London. He feared that the number now would stand very different. It appeared from the last annual return that there were not more than sixteen churches in which there were daily prayers. He could not help regarding this as a change for the worse. In cases where money had been left by pious persons for daily prayers, the receiver of this money was bound in com mon honesty to perform the duty. He hoped that some of our churches would also be open for private prayer, so that persons living in crowded dwellings, who could not their solemnize their minds for prayer, might resat to the house of God. He was next led to consider the spiritual provision provided by the Church in the metropolis. Tea years ago he had called attention to this subject. He then stated, that omitting parishes of a less population than 7,000, there was a population of not less than 1,380,000 to be provided for, and that there was church room for only 140,000, being about one-tenth of the whole. In the eastern and northeastern districts the spiritual des titution was even greater. He then said, that it was a work of prudence, no less than one of charity and piety, ro endeavour to convert these multitudes to Christianity, and to send more labourers into the fold. Far the ready and in some respects unprecedented liberality with which his appeal had; been answered he was thankful to the Giver of all Good. The subscription received for the general object amounted to 179,8551., and there was besides a seperate fund formed at the suggestion of a lay member of the Church, to whose support and co-opera tion the Church was much indebted, for the erection and endowment of ten additional churches, parsonage houses, and school-houses for a population of 70,000 ip the district of Bethnal-green. There had been contri buted to that fund a sum of 60,0001., making together about 238,0001. for the purpose of supplying the spiritual destitution of the metropolis. Of the 63 churches thus provided, forty-four were completed, ten were in process of erection, two about to be commenced, and votes were obtained,in aid of the erection of the other seven. These churches would contain about 65,000 persons, and to w 3,0 would furnish nimshatkg a he izmeatnostaolfofD2iovsin;oo, whoservic could at a a tn day, o e time, join in service, out of a popul a ti on o f 1,3110,000. Supposing it was sufficient that persons attended Divine service once a day, which he d en i e d, 4 1 0,000 only had an opportunity of attending Divine service once a day in the metropolis, and the rest of the 970,000 would be wholly unprovided with the means of church instruction. It must not be forgotten that the population had been increasing at the rate of 30,000 a year, for whom it was also necessary to make provision. It had been calculated that the number of persons who might be accommodated in the churches and chapels of all denominations was about 500,000, but he believed this 'calculation to be much beyond the mark, while the population of the metropolis at present amounted to 2,000,000. An ad dition of 400 churches, each containing 1,000 persons, would therefore not be sufficient to meet the deficiency. It was fearful to contemplate that more than 1,000,000 souls were unprovided with the means of spiritual consolation, and that large numbers were passing into the eternal world in " the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity." Was this not a case in which the re sources of the State might be profitably employed, if not to do all that was wanting, at least to aid the liberality of pious persons ? Luther told the magistrates of Ger many, that if they desired to see the prosperity of the' country, instead of laying out money in war and the mu nitions of war, they would devote it to pay schoolmasters and teach scholars. So they might remind their rulers, that if they would but apply a tithe of the money for churches and schools which they voted to gaols and pe nitentiaries, the necessity would be prevented of laying out so much in the punishment and reform of criminals. The Church must •endeavour, by her own unassisted energies, to lengthen her cords'and strengthen her stakes, and to gather into her fold those who were now scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd. A fresh subscrip tion had been opened for continuing the good work which had been so successfully carried to a certain point, and he earnestly entreated those whom he was ad dressing to urge upon their wealthiest parishioners the claims of the Metropolis Churches Fund, and to remind them that the wants it was intended to supply were in a great measare occasioned by those very causes which augmented their own resources and contributed to their wealth. Liberal as had been the contributions to the fund he had mentioned, he could not dissemble that it had been raised chiefly by large donations, and that many whose connexion with the metropolis was a source of profit, or an occasion of pleasure to themselves, had mot yet thrown their offering into the treasury of the Lord's house. There were not a few members of the Church whose in comes derived from the successful pursuit of commerce in that great city were so large that they might annu ally build and endow a church without abridging them selves of a single comfort or luxury. Before he dis missed this important subject he thought it right to notice what he could not but regard as an invidious and unfair objection, which had been urged against the scheme of bujlding additional churches in the metropo lis. They were told that the new churches were not more than half filled ; and that the spiritually destitute, for whose benefit these churches had been erected, re fused to avail themselves of the advantages provided for them. Now, he must observe in the first place, that this statement was by no means generally true. Many of the new churches were extremely well attended, and when this was not the case it might be accounted for without supposing that the scheme itself was faulty, or that the agents by whom it was carried out were care less or ineompetent. - The promoters of the plan were not so unreasonable as to anticipate that the benefits likely to rooult from It would be everywhere, or under Pa ICE SD. all circumstances, at once perceptible. It had been found that in neighbourhoods where the people bad been desirous that church accommodation should be provided the churches had been well at tended ; but in districts where the mass of the population had long been left destitute of pastoral super intendence and instruction, it would have been perfectly marvellous if the new churches had been all at once, or ven after a short p er i o d, fill e d w i t h congregat i ons. In districts of this kind the work to be done by the Church was of a strictly missionary kind ; the people required to be taught the first rudiments of Christianity, and in some c ises before that was done they must even be taught the knowledge of Christianity itself as a fact. The obstacles which opposed themselves to the eff;rts of the clergy in a work of this nature were even greater, in some respects, than those which their foreign mission aries' had to encounter. The change in the spiritual condition of the people must be gradually wrought, and he believed it would chiefly be accomplished by means of the rising generation. The school must train up a congregation for the church ; and there was reason to hope that, in many cases, the influence of religious instruction would find its way to the parents through the children. In many cases it would be necessary to provide schools as well as churches, and in some instances schools should be established before churches. The fruits of their charitable exertions were al ready sufficiently abundant and palpable to satisfy him• that their labour had not been in vain in the Lord, and to encourage them to persevere in their un dertaking. The average aggregate number of persons forming the congregations of the seven new churches lately erected in Bethnal-green had been 1,500 in the morning, and 2,000 in the evening. There were in those churches 460 communicants ; and 3,254 children attended the National and' Sunday Schools. As the number of attendants at the parish church and the pa rochial school had not diminished, they were justified in regarding the numbers he had mentioned as a gain to the Church. In the single parish of Bethnal-green, which was now divided into twelve districts or parishes, there were employed—at this time twenty additional clergymen, having under their immediate direction 15 schoolmasters and mistresses, 100 Sunday-school teachers, 80 Scripture readers, and 101 district visitors, all engaged in making known the truths and duties of their holy religion in that long-neglected neighbourhood. The Bight Reverend Prelate then referred to a mea sure, introduced into Parliament during the last session, for facilitating the punishment of clerical offenders in certain cases. That Bill had only gone through some initiatory stages, as it was considered that some of its provisions were objectionable ; but the mea sure would probably be again brought forward next session, and he hoped that the alterations made in it would obviate the objections which had pre viously been urged against it. He might observe that it was intended by that Bill to grant the power of taking vied voce evidence in ecclesiastical causes— a measure which, he Mieved, would be much more einctual than the present system in enabling the courts to elicit the truth.- The Bill had been drawn by a gen tleman eminent for his knowledge, not only of the civil and canon law, but of the common law of this kingdom; it had been very carefully considered by the Bishops, and had been proposed to Parliament with their general consent and approval; and, notwithstanding the opposi sion with which all proposals for alterations in the law were likely to be met, he trusted it would eventually re ceive the sanction of Parliament. The Right Rev. Prelate observed, that he feared he had already made too great a demand on the time and patience of his hearers, but he could not conclude with out saying a few words on that most important subject —the education of the poor. The proposal which had recently been made, that the Government should un dertake to provide for the secular education of the people, leaving their religious instruction to the volun tary exertions of the clergy and other ministers of re ligion, appeared to demand some expression of opinion on the part of those to whom the clergy would naturally look for counsel, if not for direction, in such a matter. In the charge which he (the Bishop of London) de livered in 18. M, he said that religion ought to be made the groundwork of all education ; but he added that in his opinion religious and secular instruction might most advantageously be blended or interspersed. lie still adhered to that opinion, and he deprecated, as be had always done, the system of separate religious and secular education—a separation which must necessarily be made if the Government were to take the education , of the people into their own hands, and to provide secular instruction for all, leaving the work of religious teaching, not to the masters or mistresses, but to the voluntary exertions of the clergy and ministers of dif ferent sects. How far these exertions might be depended upon, and to what extent they might clash or interfere with one another, and embitter sectarian feeling, he would not stay to inquire; but if they forbade by law the inculcation of religion in their schools, if they pro scribed the reading of the Bib!e as the subject ot in struction, if they prohibited the use of prayer by the teachers of the schools, they would not only deprive religion and knowledge of the support they ought mutually to render to each other, and habituate the learner to a notion that religion had nothing to do w th the ordinary occupations of life, but they would le id the training up of a race of school teachers devoid of all religious character; for no truly religious teacher could reconcile it to his conscience to be silent on the most im portant of all subjects, if he had reason to believe that the minister of religion to whom the department of religious instruction would pr o p er ly b e l ong was negli gent or incompetent in the discharge of his duties. They had only to look to the present state of popular educa tion in Germany and France to be satisfied that his ap prehensions on this point were not groundless. He was more and more convinced that it was best for the inter ests of the people at large, and more conducive to charity and peace, that the State should continue to assist with an increased measure of aid the volunt ar y e ff or t s o f in dividuals and societies. The present was not a time when it was proper to enter upon a new system. In connexion with this subject he urged upon them to co operate with the London Diocesan Board of Education. The Right Rev. Prelate concluded by saying, that with respect to the present prospects of the Church of this kingdom, it could not be denied that there was much occasion for uneasiness and sorrow, if not of apprehen sion. He referred to the increased activity and hostility of the Dissenters, as well as of those who were not less a dissenting sect, though they arrogated to themselves that they were the Catholic Church. They had effected a certain number of perversions, which were blazoned forth as the earnest of a larger number to come ; yet, although these circumstances should rouse them to in creased watchfulness, he saw in them no reason for alarm or discouragement. They were, he verily believed, the results of the increased endeavours made by the great ad versary of the Church, when after seasons of partial dim ness she began to repair her lustre and to extend her sphere of usefulness. They were therefore to be regarded as symp toms of energy rather than of weakness or decay. They had much to reproach themselves for their unhappy divi sions, for their own want of zeal and self-denial, and for an imperfect sense of their obligations, which might well lead to self-abasement. Yet, on the other hand, when he looked at the extent of the Church missionary labours within the last few years—at the multiplication of colo nial bishoprics, and of schools and places of worship at home—at the growing spirit of pious munificence in lay men, and of attachment to the doctrines of the Church— above all, when he looked at the zeal and devotion of the great body of the clergy, he felt that the " glory had not yet departed from Israel," and that, although the Lord was somewhat against them, yet that He was not pre pared to remove His camp from them. They had been told that, unless they provided complete endowments for the clergymen attached to their new churches, they were raising up a class of needy clergymen, whose poverty would bring discredit upon their calling, and greatly impair their usefulness. No one was more disposed than he was to appreciate the advantages of such an endowment as would secure an adequate maintenance to a clergyman. A scantiness of worldly means would no doubt cripple to a certain extent his power of doing good. But if a number of men were found ready to dispense the words of salvation with the certainty of receiving a scantier measure of this world's goods than in almost any other worldly calling, that, so far from bringing discredit on the Church, would be a circumstance of the highest honour to it, and form one of the strongest proofs of its inherent vitality. Such devotion ought to excite their liveliest sympathy towards those persons, and the Church should offer some tribute to their worth. Meanwhile, let them inculcate upon him that is taught the duty to communicate to him that teacheth in all good things, not to supply the means of indulgence, but that he may have the wherewithal to do his Master's work. Finally, they must never lose sight of the solemn consideration that the influence and usefulness of the Church *de pended, in a great degree, upon their own conduct as its ministers. Although they had the recorded assurance of the great Founder of their faith, that their Church was founded on a rock, yet they knew not what trials they might have Co pass through. The duration and sharpness of these trials would, however, be materially affected by the faithful ness or the failure of the clergy in the performance of their duty. Whatever their station or offices in the Church, let them all labour and pray like servants waiting the coming of their Lord, looking in all things to Jesus as the author and finisher of their faith. Let them follow after those things which made for their everlasting peace, looking more to those points of i e nion and practice—happily the most numerous d pm. t tan those upon y r o ktnetteonwent:hc the which they ot nh w eb h syoh i cnodhdri short of f oeo t r h ff e e ed y uo. mn iapt Letgyr r o e mu e ren r omg a k t e hbnee the. r r truth, ert Let det s yhtn to ne them make r doi be er e b ttt e hhh a eaa r n tt e dit n s ha t yeayl i l n omtf p hi prayer beo4 f v o feo r u nh filledde g might swi n u i act i b d he o an r etuhn c ne e of cin dfr u% mornv .t it h ts h e oao unHoly righteous ness, S nr ee p , e l r t, no which were, by Jesus Christ, to the praise and glory of His name.
