Sr. Perth's Vth•e•cie. It is understood that,
following the diffsrenoss which have arisen between
the vicar-04.0M% the Rev. Prebendary Harland, and
certain of the parishioner., resulting in tile Bishop
requesting him to modify certain parte of the ritualistic
service in Bt. Peter's church, and following this, the
dimatidaction of others of the parishioners because
Mr. Harland bee conceded to the bishop's wish, the
rev. gentleman has resigned the living. Archdeacon
Ryan, who is not unknown in the diocese, and who,
following his bishopric of Mauritius, has been vicar of
Bradford, Yorkshire, now some ten years, is under-
stood to have accepted the visarage. In the Clergy
Directory the value of the vicarage of Bradford is put
0.,200. and that of St. Peter, Bournemouth, at
£lOO. A general Impression prevails Isere that Bishop
Ryan will decline to accept the living. A deputation
has waited upon the Bishop, and it would appear that
the recommendations in the pastoral letter of the Rev.
Prebendary Harland to his congregation, alleged to
have been made by his lordship, trite regard to certain
alterations in the servioes of the church, did not
emanate from the Bishop, who bee written • letter to
the Rev. R. Hill, curate in charge of fit. Peter's, in
which be says:—" When Mr. Harland was first named
for the vkarage of Bournemouth, he consulted me
about the cervices; he agreed with me that it would be
well he should disturb nothing, but carry on all as
before, unless there was anything military to law. I
should not of ray own motion have suggested any
changes. Bo long as • clergyman and his parishioners
are satithed with the warbles, I would not interfere,
at all events unless there were some degree of
irregularity." The Asir is cawing • good deal of
emeation in the town.
