AN Irish Protestant paper lately stated that the Eng j
prelates were about "to disclaim the Church of Ireland, an
to deny to that branch of the church the benefits of the Pros
posed church discipline bill ;" and it added, that " the BishoPa
of Exeter and Oxford were foremost in the ungracious eiist
mischievous attempt ;" which it declared to be " altogether 5
variance with the act of union." The Bishop of Oxford, is •
letter to the Times, expressly states that this story, so far o
he is concerned, is entirely without foundation.

TuE Fredericton Head-quarters gives a gratifying sootily
of a church consecration on the island of Campo Bello, in S,,e,a
tember, by the Bishop of Fredericton. The bishop pres%s
on the previous day. (Sunday) in the old building erected n"ei.
years ago by the Rev. David Owen. On the morning of g
the
day, "about half-past ten o'clock, was descried through '
mist the little steamer Nequasset, making its way from Sit;
Andrew's, and having on board a party of zealous clinre,
people, whom bad weather could not keep from coming t01).3r,
ticipate in the consecration services. All the party, includ°'
some ladies and gentlemen from Eastport, having landed
411°;
the island, the bishop proceeded to the church, robed in 'll-
vestry, and walked down the central passage, accompanied I'3,
the Revs. Dr. Alley, rector of St. Andrew's, and rural de , ;
John S. Thompson, rector of St. David's ; R. H. podink
Thomas W. Street, curate of St. Stephen's ; and John
41,
S .
Williams, missionary on the island. Arrived in the son'
porch, all knelt down and the bishop offered up a prayer lir
ploring Almighty God to accept for the purposes of a ChristiO
cemetery the piece of ground surrounding the church. The
request to consecrate the church was then presented to the 1
bishop by Captain. Robinson, and his lordship having accept?
.the petition, proceeded to walk up the nave, followed by
„,51!
Clergy, chanting the 24th Psalm in alternate verses. i-ri.'
sentence of consecration states that the name of the church 1,
' St. Anne's Chureh,' and that all,the seats are to be free an
unappropriated. The ordinary morning service was then pro-.
ceeded with, an. anthem, composed by the bishop, being per'7
formed in the proper place. After the Nicene Creed, ths.
Confirmation Service commenced, the candidates being sit-
elderly woman and a young girl, resident on the island, and s, .
young man who came from St. Andrew's to avail himself or
, op
the opportunity. After the Confirmation Service, tne brut
preached and. administered the Holy Communion to
forty personi, including two of those who were coufirra—ibe
"Additional interest," says the account, '-' was impsrted t° „
occasion by the presence of the venerable man ,who MaY "`"
justly regarded as the father of the church on the island, the
Hon. Admiral Owen, who, at the age of more than fourscore
years, came from St. John on purpose to attend the ceremony.
The following is a description of the new building::—" All the
wood used in the building is the growth of the island. The
church is. in the early English style, with nave and chancel'
There is a bell-gable surmounting the west end. of the nave,
and a small bell, whose tones, though not silvery, serve N
awake happy feelings in the breasts of those who love the
hawse of God and the church's services. The outside wall;
are of unplaned planks, placed vertically and battened, aso•
are painted a dark brown. The roof is of shingles, paint.
slate-colour. Internally the walls are counter-lathed and • .
plastered, and painted a light French grey. The open roof;
,°
copy of that in Ely Cathedral, is of pine, stained and varnishes,.
and is very effective. The east window, which is a triplet 01
three lights, is filled with stained glass, by Beer, of Exeter,
and the side windows with Powell's quarries. The altar, pulpit,
lectern, and prayer-desk are of butternut wood carved by lur'
Mitchell, who executed all the wood-work in Fredericton
Cathedral, and they certainly do great credit to their maker;
The floor of the sacrarium is covered with a carpet, the gift °`
Robert lichens, Esq., of London, who also gave the vessels for
the Holy Communion, and the white covering for the altar, and
who who only requested for himself, as stated by the bishop in NO'
secrating these vessels, the prayers of the congregation for
whose service they were provided. The font, which was placed
under the west window, was presented by Captain Robinson)
and is made from some of the stone of the old Church of the
Knights of St. John, at Malta. The bowl of the font is pets"
gonal, with the monogram and Maltese cross carved on alter-
nate sides. The'seats, of pine, stained, are low and open. The
expense of the building, amounting to £7OO currency, is borne
mainly by a resident layman, who, with true liberality; under*
takes to defray one-half of all the charges, and also becomes
responsible for the remaining half, of which a small part only
is as yet paid to him."

COUNT DE KISSELEFF, the new Russian Ambassador in
Rome, arrived in that city a few days ago, and immediately
entered on the discharge of his duties.

TIEE CRUELTIES IN THE BIRMINGHAM GAOL.-011 Satur-
day the Court of Queen's Bench sentenced Lieut. William
Henry Austin, late governor of the Birmingham Gaol, to
three months' imprisonment in the Queen's Prison, in the
first class misdemeanants, for cruelties inflicted by him on one
of the prisoners in the gaol during the time he was governor
of that prison.
THE MILITIA BALLOT.—We understand that it is the
tentip.of the government to resort at last to the ballot, and
that it is to be carried into effect, without reference to rank,.
from. the age of eighteen to forty. The term of service is to
for five years, and it is considered that the manner of raislo.
conscripts for the French army will be adopted. The file ~;
Z 5 for not serving will be paid to the Government, who iou
provide substitutes for those who decline to enter the force.
