THE LONDON JOURNALS. YK TR ACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS ; November 1, 18;2:2. [MORNING POST.] Paris Journals to the 30th ult. reached us last night by Express. They continue to be silent with respect to military events, their whole atten tion being seemingly turned to the g reat questions which are expected to occupy the Congress, and to the course of policy which that high Assembly is likely to pursue. The article in the Journal des Di'bats, as an exposition of the present views of the. French Government on the imprudence and impropriety of an armed interference in the affairs of Spain, has produced a deep sensation amongst the politicians and political writers of France. [MORNING, CHRONICLE.] We alluded yesterday to a project which we supposed it not improbable that Mr. Canning might entertain for reconciling humanity to the Greeks with the interests of England,—The future prosperity of that illustrious people with increase of strength and security to ourselves.— If we are to credit an article dated Marseilles, in the Auger/wine Zeitung of the 2.2 d October, which our readers will find under the head Ger man Papers, this design has not only been con ceived, byt already for some time acted on.— According to commercial letters from the Levant, it is said English Agents have been dispatched from the lonian Islands to Greece to continue the most important negociations which have been carried on-for some time, the object of which is nothing less than to place several Greek Dis tricts under-the protection of England. Part of the Clergy, it is said, have espoused the English interests, and the Greek Authorities in Southern Albania, Acatnania„ iEtolia, and the Morea, have had several important communications with the English Functionaries. [ilnrusli Par.ss.] A new feeling appears to prevail upon the Continent with respect to the foreign policy of England. It probably has been excited by the accession of Mr. Canning to the head of the Fo reign Department. Fortunately for his fame, his predecessor in office had proved himself so hostile to the-cause of liberty all aver the world, the change must of necessity augur something better. We trust, however, that enough of Mr. Canning's views has been already developed in his corres pondence with the Continent, to afford a more solid foundation for these hopes of a more liberal policy than that which has been hitherto pursued by Eng land. The mere chance of a more liberal Minister could not have excited the sanguine hopes which now animate the friends of liberty in Greece and Spain. We have lately noticed a relaxation in the 'harsh treatment experienced by fugitive Greeks in the lonian Islands ; and we perceive that an endeavour has been made to induce several Greek districts to place themselves under the protection of England. This statement may not be founded in fact, but, whether false or true, it shows the new-born hopes conceived of England. [New, TIMES.] We most sincerely congratulate the Commer vial World on the prospect that the unfortunate misunderstanding between the Admiralty and the Committee at Lloyd's is likely to be removed.— We say likely ; for we must anticipate that the Committee will use the power vested i❑ them by the "second Resolution of Wednesday, with all . that sense of responsibility to their country, and - all that respect to the public station of the Lords of the Admiralty, - which they can not but feel ; and which they must know to be expected from them by all the reasonable 4nd respectable " part of the commercial world.— _ Still we feel it our duty to caution them not to he influenced by the personal pique, or wounded pride; or passionate prejudice, of any one indivi dual who may think himself committed by what has been already said or done, to an unbending opposition. We iearn from the second speech of Mr. G. Brown, as reported in a cotemporary journal, that there have been persons who pro posed violent modes of proceeding; such as a memorial to the Earl of Liverpool, or a petition to the King in Council. We petfectly agree with the Hon. Gentleman that milder measures alone can be justifiable; and we must add too, that the most violent of all—the preferring a complaint to Majesty itself—could but bring the real question to the same issue. [THE TIMES.] The dispute between the Secretary of the Admiralty and the Committee at Lloyd's is both upon matters of form and of substance. One,of the charges, against Cardinal Wolsey, when he swelled into unbounded pride, was the form of his epistolary correspondence, " Ego et Rex meus." The Cardinal did put in the King's name, though last. The Admiralty Secretary, on the contrary, in his offensive communiation, takes no notice whatever of those who should be his betters; and perhaps he had reason for the omission—we do not wholly blame him, whatever we may think of them, He says "he will be glad " to see any two Gentlemen of the Com mittee." And not only the Secretary himself thus writes, but Lewis J. Biggs also writes in the Secretary's name, under a subsequent date, that Monday will be convenient to Mr. Croker to receive the deputation. So mush for the matter of form at present, to which we shall revert immediately. But the substance, also, of Mr. Croker's antecedent communications is matter of complaint ; and with reason, as we think : for Mr. Croker, in a letter dated the 9th of October, gives the Committee a variety of im portant information, which information is found to be totally erroneous. Ile tells them, for in. stance, that the carnation and Dotterel sloops of war were stationed off Cuba for the protection of the commerce in that quarter, at a particular time ; the Committee have, on the contrary, abundant proofs in their hands, that at the time specified, the 12th of August, the Carnation and Dotterel were any where but where Me.. Croker's com munication had asserted, them to be. This was,. no doubt, perplexing enough to ale mercantile in terest of the capital : but on what authority, we ask, was this unfounded intelligence conveyed to the Committee ? Not on Mr. Croker's own—not on his personal cognizance. 44 I am commanded," says he, " by the Lords Commissioners of the " Admiralty to inform you that the Carnation 44 and Dotterel are in such and such situa tions." Mr. Croker, therefore, makes his mas ters convey the false intelligence to the Com mittee at Lloyd's ; and when this is detect ed, he requests that himself may seO and talk with two of the Committee; alleging a precedent, it is said some note, of his own good troth, - written years ago, in which he had requested to speak to one of the members of Lloyd's ; which letter, even if it existed, was written after no such imbroglio as has sprung up in the pr e sent instance ; and therefore, even supposing t here ever were such a note, it could not be propou °ded as an example to follow under circumstances wholly different. How could the Committee, or any of its members, attend Mr. Croker with pro priety ? They might, perhaps, have been doomed to hear him find fault with the Lords Commis sioners for conveying the unfounded intelligence— he might have told them that the Admiralty was but so so, and therefore they should indul gently overlook its errors : and it would not have been becoming, on the part of the depu tation, to listen to such sneers. Or, if the erroneous intelligence was to be explained in any more decorous and dignified manner, it surely ought to be explained with as much cere mony, publicity, and in as authentic a form of writing, as had accompanied its unfortunate trans mission to the commercial interest of the Metro polis. CALEDONIAN CANAL. EDINBURGH, 0 CT. 28.—After a labour of nearly twenty years and an expenditure of about 900,0001. on this great national undertaking, the country will feel a great degree of satisfaction in hearing of the completion of it. Taken hi connexion with the variety of other public works lately planned and executed in the Highlands, this great undertaking has already', contributed in the most essential manner to the prosperity of that part of the country in which it is situated, as well as it will ultimately do to the nation at large. Con sidered in itself as a work of magnitude, ithas not perhaps its equal in the world ; and its importance l in opening a communication between the eastern and western seas, thereby avoiding the dangerous navigation of the Pentland Frith or the Channel, will be highly prized by the mercantile and other classes, long after the expence will be forgotten. It has afforded during these eighteenor twenty years employment for the population of those forlorn wastes through which it passes ; and not only miti gated the hardships consequent on the late. rapid changes of our country, which have chiefly affect ed the lower classes, but aroused them from a state of inactivity, and, by joining with those skilful workmen, who resorted to it from all parts' of the kingdom, they have acquired habits of industry and other advantages, which will last while they are a people. At ten o'clock, on Wed nesday morning, the Lochness steam-yacht, ac companied by two smacks, departed, from the Locks of Muirtown, on the first voyage through the Canal, amidst the loud and enthusiastic cheer ings of a great concourse of people and the firing of cannon. The morning was peculiarly favour able, although rather calm. There was scarcely a breath of wind to disperse the smoke, which ascended unbroken, after the firing of the guns.. The banks of the Canal were crowded with spec tators, a great number of whom accompanied the party from the Muirtown Locks to the Bridge of Bught. The band of the Inverness-shire militia went on board at Dochgarroch Loch and imme diately played the national'air of " God save the King."—As a minute examination of the most remarkable feature of the Canal will be gone into, it was not expected, that the party would arrive at Fort William before Thursdays night. They were to be met at Loch Och by the Comet steam-boat.—Among the gentlemen on board the steam-boat were, The Right Hon. Charles Grant, M.P. ; the Hon. William Fraser ; Mr. Grant of Waternish ; Mr. Fraser of Inchcoulter ; Mr. M 'Kenzie of Kilcoy ; Mr. 111‘ Kenzie, younger, of Gairloch ; Provost Robertson of Aultnaskiachs ; Mr. Fraser of Fingask ; Mr. Fraser of Calduthel ; Mr. Fraser of Lovat ; Mr. Inglis of Kingsmilis ; Mr. Fraser of Torbreck ; Bellies Simpson, Cum ming, and Smith ; Mr.' Edwards, solicitor ; Mr. Johnstone ; Mr. Cameron, younger, of Litterfinlay ; Capt. Edward Fraser ; Mr. Davidson, and Mr. Hughes, of the canal.—On the way they were to be joined by Redcastle, Foyers, Balnain, Glenmor rison, Glengary, and many other proprietors. The Lochness steam boat passed through Loch Dochfour at ten minutes before one o'clock, on her first voyage through the Caledonian Canal, the band playing, and a salute fired in passing Dochfour, which was answered by Mr. Baillie's people on shore by loud cheering, and a salute from a number of small fire-arms. Another private theatre was disturbed by the vigilance of the police, at Camden-town, on Wednesday night: and the performers and au dience were seized and lodged in the watch houses of the neighbourhood. Yesterday they were taken to Marlborough-street, where some were held to bail, and the majority discharged, with a reprimand, after paying the ordinary fees. A grand religious ceremony was performed on Saturday, at the Royal Monastery of the Temple, of which her Highness the Princess Louisa-Ade laide de Bourbon-Conde is the Prioress. The object of the ceremony was the baptism of four great bells, which are about to be placed in the belfry of the Monastery. They were 'blessed in the choir of the Convent by the Archbishop of Paris. The godfather and godmother, the King and Madame the Duchess of Angouleme, were represented by the Duke of Duras, First Gentle man to his Majesty ; and the Duchess of Damas, Lady of Honour to Madame. The first bell was called Louise-Marie Benoit ; the second, Sta nislas Therese ; the third, Xavier Antoinette ; and the fourth, Charles Elizabeth.—(French - Papers.) CHARGE OF HIS GRACE THE LORD ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. A very brief and imperfect Report of the Charge delivered by his Grace the Archbishop of DUBLIN to the Clergy of his Archdiocese, on the 24th ult., having appeared in several of the public journals, we have pleasure in laying before our Readers the following more ample and cor rect Report, and in recommending it to their serious attention : " To address the assembly which now surrounds me, for the first time, when olfjects so important as those for which it is con vened, and which press with not a greater weight of responsi bility on the Members of that assembly, than upon him by whom they are addressed, must be, at all seasons, a matter of serious and awful consideratian. But, at the present, when the Established Clergy of this land are beset with difficulties and perils of more than common magnitude,—when not only the in terests of our order, but those of religion itself, are endangered, —when, from the abounding of iniquity, the love of many has waxed cold,—when more than usual hostility prevails against our Zion, and even our very good, is too often evil spoken of— it is impossible to enter upon the reflections which belong to the nature and occasion of our meeting,•without feelings of anxious and painful solicitude. When, again, it is pressed upon our recollection, that by the very event, by which (under the Pro vidential arrangement) I have been, by his Majesty's good pleasure, placed in this station, the Church of Ireland has been deprived of one of its noblest and firmest supporters, — that the Prelate, who, by the various high qualities which he possessed, was pre-eminently fitted to defend the Church over which he had so long presided with disinterested rectitude and Christian truth, has been withdrawn, at the moment when that Church most needed such a defender, I cannot but feel an increased inquietude from the very occasion which empowers me to address the clergy of this diocese upon this day. And when, in addition to these considerations, I reflect that the Body of Clergy here assembled, are a Body the most influential of any that can now be asssembled within the limits of this island; that from the commanding eminence which they occupy, and the conspicuous station which they fill, their conduct and their example must be attended with consequences to the commtnity and to religion the most momentous. 1 must be but little af fected, indeed, by a concern for the spiritual welfare of our Church, were 1 not deeply solicitous for the succces of my pre sent exhortation, in stirring up, invigorating, both in your breasts and my own, the true sense of Christian duty ; the saving spirit of Christian benevolence ; the sense of Christian duty in what relates to our own conduct, the spirit of Christian benevo lence in what relates to the salvation of others. " On these subjects; many among you, my Rev. Brethren, must often have seriously and deeply pondered, as became the solemn obligations which they had undertaken. To such I can only serve as a remembrancer of what they already know (and who amongst us does not daily require to be reminded of his duties)? To those who have either not fully acquainted themselves with the awful nature of the charge which has , been committed to them, or who have been headless or luke warm in its execution, I must assume a different character : I must sound in their ears the duties which they have disregard ed ; I must warn them, that if they persevere is such neglect, the day will come when they will be called upon to render the tre mendous account of an unfaithful stewardship." Having after this exordium proceeded to describe with exact ness and emphasis the character, duties and obligations of those admitted to the Christian Ministry in our Church, as they are laid down in the Ordination Service ; and having at some length compared the actual conduct of individuals among the Clergy with the standard there presented, his Grace went on to observe of all, that perhaps they " had but too much cause to fear, that with their best exertions they had fallen far short of the demands of duty ; and that by a want of zeal and devoted ness in the one great cause, they and those who had gone before them in the Ministry of the Established Church in this country, had, to answer for no small portion of that irreligion which, what ever be our share in its production, repays it by the severe reta liation and obloquy, and ill-will which it heaps uniformly upon our order. Perhaps, indeed," (he added), " at no time within the memory of any now living, has the established Clergy of this country, as a body, been less deserving of reproach than at the present ; and certainly the exertions of a considerable pro portion of its members are deserving of the highest praise—and yet at no time, it is to be feared, has an indifference to religion been more prevalent, or a disrespect to its lawful and establish ed Ministry been more extended. That the decrease of religion should be accompanied with the dislike of its Ministers, is the natural course of things. But there are causes connected with the local circumstances of the country which aggravate the evil. Political considerations, unfortunately, make it the interest of many whose condition is influential, to court the favour of those 'who are hostile to the -Established Church—and therefore in their property, their character, and their teaching, the Clergy of the National Religion are resisted and oppressed. In their persons it is deemed by many to be no violation of justice to in fringe or evade the lawswhich are designed to protect the main tenance of all ; no violation of candour to yield a ready belief to the most injurious reports on grounds of evidence which would not be admitted in the case of others." Having enlarged upon those grievances,_ under which the Clergy at present labour in this country, his Grace proceeded— " But why do I dwell upon these things ? Not surely for the purpose of encouraging an indifference to opinion even thus un justly formed ; much less to rouse a spirit of hostility and oppo sition to those who treat our order with much undeserved re proach and injury. No; my object is, on the contrary, to ex cite to an increase of vigilance and energy in our calling, and to impress the necessity of employing every means in our power to mitigate the malignity of our adversaries ; and above all means, that of the faithful discharge of our duties, which, if it does not disarm our comics of their virulence against us, will at least disarm it of its sting; and of all duties, more particularly that of kindness and good will even to those at whose hands we have experienced most unkindness."—The Archbishop then adverted to a description of adversaries, to mollify whom, it was to be feared, all endeavours of the Clergy must prove unavailing.—" A description of persons (of whom we have unhappily at present but too many) whose avowed ob ject it is to overturn the Established Religion of the land, and who, the better to effect their purpose, labour to enlist the rapa city of the unprincipled in their unholy warfare ; holding out the spoils of the temple as the reward of its subversion, and repre senting its Ministers at all times in such odious colours as may reconcile one class of the community the more readily to their spoliation, and another even to their personal extinction; inso much that at this day the National Clergy are placed in a state little short of direct persecution, though under the apparent protection of the Law." Against such adversaries as these, the Clergy, he stated, could derive no security from their virtues or their religion. " Against such, other safeguards are necessary, the same which are required for the preservation of the State itself. Yet even to these," he added " although we have no hope of subduing them by Christian forbearance and mildness, it is still the part of prudence, if not of duty, to employ them. Railing is not our province ; that is a contest in which we should be outdone : and in attempting it, we should 'only give fresh advantage to our enemies, who though devoid of the Christian spirit themselves, would not fail to turn the want of it in us to the discredit of the religion which we profess. In all cases, passion and bitterness are to be avoided ; and even in our moments of firmest resistance to the wrongs which are heaped upon us, we should never forget that in our's is in volved a greater cause than our own; and that there are no wounds so deadly to the interests of religion as those which are inflicted by the misconduct of its professors. Upon the whole, our course is a plain one. Whatever be the obloquy or the dangers which we have to encounter, we have one single line to pursue ; we have to preserve our allegiance to our Heavbnly Master ; we have bound ourselves by the most solemn vows to his service; we have bound ourselves to advance his glory, and the interests of his kingdom amongst men, by all the power which we possess ; and we have therefore to pass onward through good report and evil report,' fulfilling his heavenly will, and labouring in the true spirit of self-devotedness, by every means that can be employed—by instruction, by example, by the very expenditure of life itself, if necessary, to promote the cause of God, and the well-being of our fellow men. Without such exertion, it is plain that we neither can, nor ought to stand. If the salt has lost its savour, it is good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trod den under foot.' Common exertion, it is manifest, will not now suffice. Irreligion and false religion abound. We have fallen on' evil days and evil tongues;' and there is no slumbering on our post. We may rest assured, that if we join lukewarmness from within to the unending hostility which assails us from without, (and assails us in every form and degree, from the false and hypocritical pretence of a desire for the improvement of our order, to the open violence which avows the purpose of its extinction), the triumph of those who labour for the down fall of our church, will be soon completed. It will not do to boast of our orthodoxy, and shew no fruit of right opinions in our practice ; to content ourselves with exclaiming against what is called new light, without endeaVouring to extend to our flock the benefits of the old ; to be fearful only of an excess of zeal, without any alarm as to the consequence of indifference; and to reserve for the appearance of sanctity and separation from the world amongst our brethren, the indignation and censure which should bestowed upon levity of demean our and habitual carelessness about spiritual concerns.—' The time is come, when, if not from higher considerations, we must from prudence at least bring these things to an end. . The time is come, when we must show ourselves, in truth and in spirit, what we profess ourselves to 'be, the soldiers and ser.l rants of Christ—when we must manifest in our lives the 311. periot excellence of that pure and reformed religion which we have undertaken to teach. And whilst we object to the inve terate and unscriptural corruptions of one form, and the schis matical irregularities of others, we should prove ourselVes to be the genuine Ministers of that Apostolic and Catholic Church, which has descended to us freed from the abuses of antiquated error and Present ourselves to the world as the worthy depo sitories of the sacred trust committed to our keeping. For this we must one and all devote ourselves to the work of our mi nistry.. between the highest and the lowest classes 'of our order there should be but one object ; and the only rivalry should be, which should labour most in the duties of his calling." Ills Grace was then led to consider more particularly the duties and responsibilty which rested upon the Prelates in our Church ; and thence to descant upon the necessity of enforcing a sound and strict discipline, to give combinedness and effect to the exertions of the Clergy; and on this subject introduced the following remarks. " In truth, the value of a sound discipline in the Church can not be easily appreciated ; and it deeply concerns ALL its mem bers to assist in its support. If the several parts of the system be not kept in their due place and relative proportion, the whole must be dissolved : There is no longer harmony and union, and brotherly co-operation ; but discord, dissention, and hostile repulsion, must spring up in their stead, and defeat the entire object for which the admirable consti tution of our Church was framed. Perhaps, when well considered, it is not possible to conceive a more perfect scheme, than that under which we are enabled to exercise our Christian Ministry : the great outline of which has been traced for us by Divine authority, and the parts fill,tl up by the best adaptations of human wisdom—fitting it to the condi tion, and applying it to the exigencies of human things ; inso much that they who through an ambition of independence, and a fondness for their own opinions, have refused to submit them selves to the order of things which it establishes, have been compelled to bear evidence to its excellence, by adopting, in most cases, a similitude to that very system which we derive from Apostolic authority, and adjust to the Apostolic standard; but which will not satisfy those who love only what is new, or who are unwilling to conform to any rule but what they have made for themselves. " It has been the custom with those who are disposed to de preciate the character of the Established Church of these coun tries, to represent its government and its hierarchy as matters of mere litiman arrangement, and depending for their authority sole ly upon civil institutions. Many, even of the members of our Church, are habituated to view the system as founded upon the State, and as deriving from it its title to obedience. This is a gross mistake. Its adoption by the State does not affcct its origin or its title: these are of a nature higher than any human constitution can reach; they are derived from that spiritual prin ciple which makes allegiance itself a duty. And the rights of the Episcopacy and the Priesthood, were they at this moment severed from the State, would not be less cogent over conscience (from the divine authority which they posses* than when backed by the power and enforced by the penalties of law. The Romanist, therefore, on the one hand—and the Independent on the other —alike mistake or misrepresent the character of our Church, when they describe it as built on human authority, and not as standing on that great Catholic foundation on which it has been placed by our Lord and his Apostles. lam the more desirous to press this consideration upon the Members of the Church, that they may be led to feel, that, in offending against that sound discipline which is necessary for its well-being, they not merely violate the laws of man, but they in fringe the ordinances of God ; they not only incur the pe nalties of a temporal offence, but they expose themselves to the consequences of a spiritual transgression. Happily the wisdom, by which the civil constitution of our Church was framed, has partaken so largely of that higher wis dom by which its spiritual foundations were established, -that the leading regulations of its national conformation arc directly calculated to secure the great points of Ca tholic discipline; so that the most enthusiastic admirer of the primitive purity of the government of the Church will have little to desire, in abiding by the principles of that ecclesiasti cal polity, by which the frame of the National Church has been adjusted. And, whatever deficiency may be found in that respect, is more to be ascribed to the ignorance or the mistaken liberality of those who do not act up to the principles of that polity, than to any imperfection in the polity itself. There are but too many of those, who profess to be zealous members of our National Church, and are yet altogether ignorant of the authority on which that Church is founded. And again—there are too many, possessing greater knowledge upon this subject, but are at the same time, fearful of incurring the charge of bigotry, by con tending for the Apostolical origin and succession of the Chris tian Ministry—the only ground on which the just rights of the Church can be maintained, and on which the duty of strict com munion with it can be legitimately enforced. " We, my Reverend Brethren, are placed in a station in which we are hemmed in by two opposite descriptions of pro fessing Christians. The one possessing a Church, without I what we can call a religion ; and the other possessing a religion, without what we can call a Church ; the one so blindly enslaved to,. supposed infallible ecclesiastical authority, as not to seek in the 'Word of God a reason for the faith they profess; the other So confident in the infallibility of their individual judg ment, as to the reasons of their faith, that they deem it their duty to resist all authority in matters of religion. We, my Brethren, are to keep clear of both extremes ; and, hold ing the Scriptures as our great charter, whilst we maintain the liberty with which Christ has made us free, we are to submit ourselves to the authority to which he has made us sub ject. From this spirit of tempered freedom and qualified sub mission, sprung the glorious work of the Reformation, by which the Church of these countries, having thrown off the slough of a slavish superstition, burst forth in the purified form of Chris tian renovation ; and having flung aside the novelties of human invention, presented to the world the fair picture of the true, and genuine, and ancient Catholic Church, retaining all that authority, and entitled to all that allegiance, which belonged to the early Church, of which it was the disencumbered and legi timate continuation. Now, by the same spirit by which our Church was thus restored, can it only be preserved; and from the decay of that spirit it is that schism and confusion have arisen to disturb its tranquillity, and impair its benefits. Not only have disputes and divisions (to the great triumph of infidelity and irreligion) broken from us and multiplied various sects,which profess that for conscience sake they reject our errors, as we did those of the Church of Rome ; but also, amongst ourselves, and within our own pale, a sectarian spirit Irks been engendered, in the indulgence of an unqualified exercise of individual judgment which from want of due knowledge, and full comprehension, of the relations and consequences of things, is sure to issue either in an unauthorised assumption of rights, to which there is no just title, or in an inconsiderate abandonment of duties, to which a more enlightened conscience must feel itself bound to submit." This spirit, his Grace proceeded to shew, operated most in juriously both upon the Laity and upon the Clergy, leading the former to indulge a habit of wandering from their Parish Church, in search of some preacher who might . gratify their taste, 'and the latter, to assume the right of officiating where they please; so that " as the Laymen wandered from Church to Church, so the Clergy wanted to indulge a like rambling and vagrant disposition ' • both forgetting that there is a pastoral re lation that binds the Clergyman to his flock, and the flock to their Clergyman." He then expatiated at large on the injurious conse quences of such habits to both, and particularly insisted, with re gard to the Clergy, upon the rule imposed by the Ordination Ser vice, and the Canons, binding the Clergyman to the discharge of his duty in the particular post, and toward the particular congregation, which were allotted to him by his Bishop.— He proceeded to prove, at considerable length, that the Parish Minister has no right to depart from the charge specially assign ed to him, nor to depute another to that charge, but under the express authority of the Bishop. He adverted to the pru dent and firm attention shewn by his predecessor to the due regulations of the Diocese, and particulary in this very re spect ; and declared his decided determination to enforce the rule which his predecessorhad laid down, for preventing any per son, not duly licensed, from being admitted to officiate within the Diocese. He spoke of this point of discipline as being more particularly necessary to be attended to in this Diocese, " from the colluvial nature of the metropolis, which naturally collects adventurers of all descriptions, and in which a number of per sons, who are no credit to their profession, are at all times likely to abound." " If, therefore, (he added), that rule, which the laws of the Church strictly prescribe, and which my predecessor wisely enforced, should be attended to by me with minute exactness, I trust, my Reverend Brethren, you will not consider me as doing more than what I conceive to be my bounden duty; and that you will, on your part, when you have well considered the propriety of the rule, as well as its strict legality, chearfully co-operate with me in carrying it into complete execution, 1 can have no doubt ; not only, be cause it is binding upon every regularly appointed Clergyman, by his oath of canonical obedience to his Bishop, to obey, will ingly, all his lawful orders, but also, because I have experienc ed, since I came amongst you, the kindest and promptest de sire, on all occasions, to comply with whatever I have proposed for the better regulation of our ecclesiastical concerns. " I have every confidence, my Rev.. Brethren, that you will not consider my enforcement of this rule as springing from any wish to exercise authority. This is not an exercise of authority. The whole is the mere discharge of duty—a duty incumbent on you by the Canons and Laws of the Church, and by the obli gations you have undertaken—and a duty incumbent on me (from which I cannot turn aside) to see that this your duty be discharged—a duty indeed so great and important and influ ential, that if it be not faithfully discharged, all the other rules and regulations of the Church become of little value. If there be no choice or selection of the Ministers, who are to preach, and instruct, and administer the ordinancess ; if every ignorant and conceited person, who pronounces himself qualified to undertake of thivet;i- di. .1::,.°811,04,01Y A , he a ltar, 3 e the parochial ministry, may usurp the pulpit a ' n o " isst i ae . f ee r i radoiun ef tittes i ve re . :t r ?p - i e •- s a matter of little consequence whether the _poola cliir be the church or the conventicle ; whether the see the t o o ed teac4er, who breaks down and tramples uP° fl ifia tion for which circumscribe his order, has derived his qua ..ramtr y - ; , or the ' , mu st such exercise of his functions from the college But, my Reverend Brethren, whilst for these reasons,e t l hoe 0 (as I have said) enforce the rule, allow me at the jadd,m e that inconveniently I t e h n e i r e e n i t s l ynom upono mode e b yw Parishh ich 11 1 , can mis t p e r r e , vrAt he discharge them properly, are sufficiently laborious;,hbe r:i t , will not on every occasion be happy to adopt.
