A CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE
LORD BISHOP OF ROCHESTER AND THE REV.
GEORGE J. DAVIES, M.A.

=nor's urns.
Danbury, Jan. 10, 1883.
- -

My dear Sir,—l bare been in ortneit from
time to time, for a good while, that you officiate in various
parishes around Ingatestone' by assisting the clergy when
absent from their cures and otherwise. Aod it appears to
be generally koowo, sod much remarked on. that you are
engaged in the mauagement of land, holding a farm
also yourself, and of necessity associating with farmers
sod markets far more than is usual in the case of clergy-
men, or then is proper for them, according to this best
judgment 1 can form. You are not licensed ; and 1 must
therefore request that you will henieforth theist from offici-
ating in any of the churches which come under my
jurisdiction. Old acquaintance makes me regret the neces-
sity for this interference, but my duty to the diocese, titter
the inquiry 1 have made, readers the act imperative.—l
remain, my dear air, yours faithfully,
J. C. ROCHEIVILB.

friends may form their judgment of the whole affair from
the exact documents on which your lordship asked the
rural deans to form theirs. On Saturday last a clergyman
whom I helped on one occasion came to me and said :—"
was asked this week by a parishioner whether you ware not
suspended for intoxication. Will you place in my hands •
letter to contradict that!" I said immediately, "1 will
send you the whole correspondence as soon as lan get it
printed." My connexion with Mr. Disney may
seem to a stranger somewhat unusual ; I can only
say (as Mr. Disney has already stated) that it
is one of friendship, and arose out of the fact
of there being no farm-house on the land which I rent of
him. If Mr. Disney—and I think there is nothing inexpe-
dient or servile in my position—if he offered it and I ac-
cepted it that old friends might still be neighbours—l
cannot conceive on what grounds any living man has any
right to trouble himself about it. Surely, my lord, the
transactions of private life and the 'aridity of an English-
man's home ought to be respected by the zeal of the officers
of your diocese.
As your lordship has debarred your clergy from
field sports and out-door amusements, there is only
agriculture in which a man may seek for recreation.
I have read aa much as mod men, but I never yet met
with • passage in any writer, sacred or profane, in
which agriculture is supposed to be a hindrance to the
development of man's higher nature and nobler festive.
The church, by assigning glebe, of great extent in some in-
stances, recognises even in her employed members the fact
that farming is not unclericaL Mr. fluxtable's appointment
lied year to the archdesoonry of Dorset was well received by
the church, and Mr. Huxtable is one of the giants of agri-
culture. Many clergy farm more thousands than Ido hun-
dreds of acne. The glebe at Danbury which the late bishop
was fond of showing to his clergy, and which I believe your
lordship keeps in your own hands, is to the extent of three
hundred acres. I have never associated with farmers in any
other way than every Christian gentleman ought to associate
with them. Your lordship will therefore excuse my pro-
testing against my Doane having been unotericaL Braving
put the letters into a pamphlet for my own justification, I
hope never to hear the subject mentioned again.—l am, my
dear lord, yours very faithfully, GEORG/ J. MUM.

Tas ALLBAx.A.—The Liverpool Daily Post fears
that Captain &mines may be involved in serious conse-
quences by burning the Nora and Charles Hill, both vessels
and cargoes (the Daily Post states) being British. The
elopes were fully insured against war risk, and the

Bangor State of Maine, in 1662, and owned in Boston by
Mr. G. P. Upton. Not very long ago abet was offered for
mak in Liverpool, whits 11,0001. was refused. The Charts
Hill was a vessel of 699 tons, built at Newbury Port in

fag end wood instalments of those visitors to Paris con.

the cheapness and advantages afforded by this
excursion, which has been organised and carried
out by a committee of working men with an especial view
to the comfort and convenience of all parties. There is Gee
noticeable feature connected with this excursion. The

Paris connected with their respective tinder for the P
of making themselves acquainted with the mode of working
of their French brethren. _ _
