RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCI

LORD SHAFTESBURY AND THE BICENTENARIANS.--.At
the recent annual meeting on behalf of the Chetah
Pastoral All Society, Lord Shaftesbury in the their,
during his speech spoke ae follows :—" Now yes Ohs
Church Pastoral Aid Society) have the strength of
which I have spoken, among the people whom yes
address; and the Church of England has • strength
too, among the great body of pious, devout, and learned
men to be found in the ranks of Nonconformists.
These men admire the Church, and admire the members
of the Church. They do acknowledge the merit, the
labours, the learning of her pesters. They do reoog-
nise the orthodoxy of her faith, and the aimplidty of
her services, and they look upon her as the great bul-
wark of evangelical truth in this country. And we are
not to be turned aside from that, because we bar that
some vapouring, foolish nonsense has taken place in a
provincial town. We are not to be turned slide for
that, because some gentleman chooses to utter •
number of things which are not Wee, and because he
chooses to Clothe them in language, which to say the
least is not gentlemanlike. I am not going to allow
the clergy of Church of England to stand in the fore-
front ef this bat,le. I sin not going to let it be
Resumed, that, in matters of this kind, they are the
only persons to be shot at or to take offence. I main-
tain that II is is the Dame of the laity, jest se much as
it is the canes ef the clergy. Why, if the elergy have
been guilty of perjury, I in supporting the clergy have
been guilty of subornation of perjury. I, too, have
Wined the articles; I, too. am • lONOtriber to what is
contained in the Prayer Book. just as much as the
clergy are subscribers toil. Idoas a layman every-
thing that the clergy do, with the exception ef the ad-
ntinistration of the Sa-iraments, and I take my fell
share of responsibility along with them. My notion is
that the beat way of dealing with thews attacks would
be not to reply to them, Der be tale say weitioe ef them,
I think that if what we have beard of had be ad-
dressed to me, in my capacity as a layman, I abeeM
have taken no notice of it whatever; or if I bad takes
any notice of it at all, I should merely have said to the
accuser, 'Sir, I believe you are very ignoring; to sV
the truth you are a very easseyfdlow. and if you tbini
you represent the great and good Nonconformists of
former days, or even that you have anything akin to
the good, sound, and true religious Notioneformlata of
the present day, you are just aa much mistaken as yoe
would be if you thought you were well versed in
history, or had ever been initiated in the first elements
of good breedisg, or Christian charity.' I believe that
society generally would have backed me on in payieg
that, and I believe, too, would have supported me in
5a3 Lug it."

diocese of London should be divided, and another me
formed for converting the collegiate church of West-
minster into a cathedral church IM it formerly was. and
by raising the Dean to the di;mity of a bishop; that the
eljOCeSil of Exeter should be divided by the erection of •
bishopric in Cornwall; that the dioeehe of Durham
should be divided by the erection of a bishopric for
Newcastle; that the diocese of Rochester should be
divided by the transformation of the Abbey of fit.
Albm's into a cathedral church; and that the diocese
of Lincoln sheuld be divided by constituting the eel-
legiate church of Southwell a cathedral. Some other
minor arrangements are proposed. Tim memorialists
do not propose any addition to the number of spiritual
peers, and they suggest that £3,000 • year would be
sufficient for those prelates who have no mats in
Parliament.
