Hammer Menem:lt -Mr. T. Wainwright, of Barn-

It seems that in Domeolay Book, A.D. lefle, the limn was

Wainwright helices.* a harbour did exist here tele year.

I alit disposed to behove that its existeneu woe not Mil.

engineering of those days seems to have been unequal to
the task ef clearing away the sand washed tip by the title,
so that after an existence of in eitine cases a couple of
irsooration.., in others a longer period, the harbour hail
to be "repaired." The expenses of such repairs were
borne in various ways, .metinies by a duty on experts
awl imports, which the reigning Sovereign permitted to
be lealeel by the contractor for a limited penod,sometimes
be means of c ,Ilections made in the town, nemhbouring
linage., and mere distant parts of the ceur.try ; thirdly.
by indelgeacet granted, by Memo to these who should
contribute to :he "pious work," and fourthly, by prone.*
inuele by the local priest, that they and their successors
would celebrate awl offer manses for such benefactors living,
awl for the repoos of their souLswhen dead. Among the
Itrelport archives are several ef the orieinal document",

field, undertook to repair the harbour, provided he was
allowed to charge in,, half-liens)' per ton for every horse
Inch of goods imported or exported. which was granted
by King Ile-hard 11. The above contractor appears to
have tern unable to perform his undertaking, for we flinti
in 1:e1e the same limner+ granted the bailiffs of the town

imperte awl exports for three years, en condition that
they completed the repair of the haven- In Leei John

the indulgence is still in existence with the bishops' seal

It will he borne in mind that the nominal value of money
in thesu, days differed very greatly from the present.
It is not probable that the wages of the work.
men employed at the harbour exceeded three
pence Per day, entice the Statute of Labourers.
In th.• elth year of Henry VI. the bailiffe, Hugh
Pewterer and James Ham-se, made known the benefits
that will amnie to all "Christen men" contributing to
the work, ; the nine elerge of the town promising that it
is right plea.sant in the sight of God and a "nierytory

The Chairman expressed his full sympathy with the
movement, and offered to bear any clergyman harmless as
regards the cost of legal proceedings who might undertake
to preach in Nonconformist pulpits.
The Rev. the Hon. W H. Fremantle, rector of St.
Mary's, Bryanstone-ssmare, after speaking of his efforts
to promote union and intercom:minion between Christian
!sidles, said that he believed the feeling of the majority of
the nation was in favour of the movement which was now
being made. He asserted that he was a loyal churchman
attached to the Church and to its system, and that broil
his friends were not revolutionists, but reformers and he
believed it to be possible to be ardently attached to an
institution and yet to see its faults and desire t remove
them. Such was his position in regard to the Church of
which by birth and profession he was an attached mem-
ber. Adverting to the opinions which had been obtained.
Mr. Fremantle said that, although they declare,' it to be
illegal for a clergyman to take part in services in
Nonconformist chapels in England, yet the law did not
follow them into Scotland or arras the Channel, and in
proof of this he mentioned that the late Dean .llford had
assisted with Nonconformists in the adminstration of the
Holy C 'minion at Berlin, and that the present Dean of
Canterbury had taken part in similar services still more
recently at New York, while greater dignitaries of the
Church bad taken part in the services of the Soittish
churches, and yet haul been hell to he acting within the law.
These were 1.1,1110.4 of comfort, lout still the law as inter-
preted to render illegal a similiar net in this country
remained. Mr. Fitzianica Stephen held that the clergy
end,' not legally take part in services other than were
contained in the Prayerbook : Mr. Benjamin Shaw
that elergyman could not assist Nonconformists in publie
services withoot episcopal license : but in hoth cases the
result would lathe saine,and such • law must be regard.' 11,1
an anschronisnaand MI totally contrary to the spiri tof union
and sympathy which had been growing for the last two
hundred years between Nonconformists and Churchmen
-a spirit of union which now enabled such men as Dean
Stanley and Dr. Stoughton to join hands. Such • law as
that which prevented a clergyman from using any other
sent than that of the Prayer-book was also an anacbron-
inn., because it was was the relic of an age when the clergy
I were ton ignorant to be trusted to go heyand the limits of
the Prayer-hook, and that argument could no longer be
ur-ed, . Mr. Fremantle concluded by begging his friends
to bsik upon the matter not in a narrow or sectarian, but
in a national and Christian spirit, and then lie believed
the conflict/lot many rentunes might be buried, and peace
and truth and love wont,' take their place.
The Rev. Samuel Minton, M.A.., late minister of Eaton
elmneL a clergyman who has for the last three years upon
very many occasions occupied the pulpits of Itioncin-
formists, said he might be supposed to have been put on
ilk defence by the opinion just obtained hut lie had
been no party to the reference, and therefore lie did not
hold himself bound by the result. There were those in
the Church who were doing that which had been declared
by the highest court in the realm to he illegal; but he
and his friends were doing that which had never been
declared to he illegal, and which he for one still believed
to be legal. The ground on which counsel ventured to
rest their opinion was one which could never be practi-
cally sustained or tolerated at this day and in this free
country. It rendered illegal every act except that which
was sanctioned by episcopal license, or enjoined by the
iron Act of Uniformity, and would exclude the clergy as
much from Mr. ',toady's meetings as from the services of
Dr. Parker. They were still to be graeiously permitted
to fraternise with Presbyterians in the Scottish suburl, of
Ikrwick-on-Tweesl, but not in the English suburb of
Berwick-on-Tweed. How long would the Church of
England, with its al.OOO clergy, hold together on such
terms as these t quoting from " Uncle Tom's Cabin," lie
asked, "line' long will it take to burst our ecclesiastical
boiler, if its safety valve is held down after that fa-hion r
They must, the speaker urged, ask the Legislature to pass
an Act to remove clerical disabilities if this opinion were
held to be sound.
_

.....
Dr. Parker spoke on the subject as a Nonconformist.,
and mid he reganled the opinions given as equivalent to a
statsment that, from the Church of England point of view,
all Nonconfornsista were schismatics. He suggested that
fifty der:Q.:nen should try the question.
The Chairman then invited Dean Stanley to move a
resolution, which was in the following terms :—" That
this meeting-is of opinion that the restrictions jolacesi upon
the clergy of the Church of England, according to the
opinion of counsel now given, on the subject of conform-
ing ministers taking part its services other than those
prescribed by the Act of Uniformity, are injurious to the
fraternal intercourse between the Protestant
Churches of this land which is required in the interests of
mtholie Christianity."
The Dean of Westminster, who was received with loud
applause, said that after the eloquent speeches just beard,
especially that of their own pastor, with whose aceents
they were more familiar than with any which would fall
from his uncircurucheel lips, lie felt some diffidence in
dealing with a suliject involving as !Banyan.' such delicate
interesta, tie was Oct one of those who regarded modera-
tion as a heathen virtue, and although it might not !waste
to defend it elsewhere, he might, at any rate, support it in
a meeting of Englishmen, and he trusted it would charac-
terise their action throughout. The question, tho Dean
urged, had nothing bi do with the Kstalilished Churches
or Episcopacy, but reached far wider. It was once said to
Prince Bismarck in the Dean's hearing that the contest in
whirls he was now engaged dated back to the contests of
the English Ilantagenets, and he replied that it slated still
further hack, to the days when the High l'riest confronted
King Amnieinnon ; and no their present contest went
further hack (lion the Act of Uniformity, to the slays
when the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. In
a long address the Dean traced the progress •4 the elf ssrt,s
to set aside all social restrictions, and to remove the pro-
hibitions of the use syf certain religious books, and
instancesl the case of a Roman I 'atholic in Canada, who
was denied I 'hristian burial because lie usel a b sits at his
club which haul been placed in the index. Now. there was
full union and interismununion in the use oi the literature
and the hymns of all Christian ladies. AIM this principle
should. the Ikan said, be applied to the subject at issue.
It might be said that there was no adequate reason for
Noneonfortabsta desiring to appear in the pulpits of the
Estaldiehed Church, or for the clergy of the Estahlishod
(lurch wishing to appear in the pulpits of Nonoonforinist
chapels. It was mid, and said truly, that every one bad
enough to do to maintain their own ground with their own
people, and if everybody was to Ise running into every-
body else* sphere they would produce what might be
I called religious dissipation that would Ise no good to the
country and no good to the Church. All these objections
he fully allowed, and indeed with regard to some Christian
, Churches a friendly understanding was alniost all that
' they were able to cultivate, lie mid this specially with
regard to the Eastern Church, with which many of his
brethren wished that the Church of England should hold
social intercourse. But the case WAS different when they
cause to their fellow-countrymen, speaking the same
glorious English Language and inheriting the same maimed
tr.vlitiyins, and parted from them in great measeire Ivy the
ineonceivable mistakes of their (metathesis. It was smite-
times said, why should not Churelimen lie satisfiesl with
addressing their own congregations -why should not the
'Sean of Westminster, for instonee, be satisfied with
addressing Isis own congregation in his own magnificent
Abbey I As he had said, it WWI ewiligly no doubt, it was
snore than enough, for them to bear the burden that they
had, but still this slid not extinguish in his mind, or in the
minds of his brethren, the desire to extend the right hand
of fellowship to all who were in the faith. There was a
real object and a purpose to be gained by having this
solemn communion with each other. With regard to the
particular state of things of whieh they were now speak-
mg he slid not mean to entangle them or hiasseit with the
various religious questions which might wire from a par-
ticular course of action which the dem might think fit
to adopt. This only he would venture to my, repudiating
in some measure what had been said before, that the
judgment of them two learned rounsel was 11,1 t a legal
judgment of the supreme court of this country, and was,
therefore, not itself the law, though it raised a pre.
siimption of what the law was. Some years ago in a court
of 1:11M a plaintiff was suddenly confronted Ivy a defendant
demanding what was called a waxer of bottle, and it was
found that there was an ancient law hy ieh is I lefondant
had the right to challengs• the plaintiff to meet hi.s in
single combat, and so completely sits that reeognised to
be the law that it was necessary to get an Aet of Parlia-
ment passed to alsdias it. This was very inucli like the
state into which the opinion of the learned counsel bad
Insight them. The law WM a remnant yyt ancient
restrictions, and like the wager of battle ought to be
abolished. But in order to do that let theist guard against
two misconceptions, let them guard against the slightest
intention of any individual setting himself sip against she
law, because there was no liberty without law, sia there
wasno good law without liberty. And let them remember
that the laws of England were imposed by the people of
England. The one great advantage, at any rate, by his
bumble opinion, of is national church was that it had no
law exceut that whieh the people of England imposed
up.os it, and if It should so happen that after mature
weighing of the sulsjeet it should turn out to he the will
of the people of England that them ancient restrictions
should for whatever purpose Ise continued, it would net be
for him or for any of them to set up their judgment
against them ; but, on the whole, be was satisfied that
they were more likely to obtain theieehanges, which then
all so much desired, by constant appeals to the public
opinion of England, and to the Parliament of England,
than by appealing to any other court. In conclusion, he
reminded titans that it was with pride and pleasure that he
belonged to what one of these learned cue nsel once declare,'
to le the freest, the most learned, and the most rational
('bunch in Christendoin—(cheens).
