doe, is bound before God to exert himself for their spiritual
good ; and even those who live at a distance, and never
visit Pa, are bound to help London, lest the effect of evil
generated here be felt in their remote homes. If all those
whose bounden duty it is will only respond even moderately.
according to their meat', to this z.ppeal, abundant funds
will soon be produced. Our own voluntary subscriptions,
freely given at once, will draw such help from the Etc's-
siastical Commissioners and other public bodies u the law
allows them to give ; and we shall stimulate many fresh
voluntary exertions if we it once show ourselves to be ia
earnest, by • vigorous self-deoying effort. So far as mate-
rial srrssgsmenta are renowned, I have no fear but that we
shall woo he able to do our work.
" What I claim at ores is Out we be pat is • position
to mod a hundred new clew into oar crowded parishes,
and that these be aided by a hundred scripture
readers—that new churches be built and endowed
at once is such of our largest narishes as. being
quite overgrown, call for immediate subdivision.
Thus a great work rill be doge in the hitherto neglected
mass, and as immediate visible impression made in advance
of the increase of the population. I see oo difficulty which
may not be easily surmounted in the material organisation
of this work.
" And, my Christian friends, if • little self-denial cau
accomplish this outward moors, shall we doubt that
our Lord and Master will Mess our work spiritually,
if it be undertakes in the spirit of prayer. Do we
ask where the new clergy are to come from, who are to
be labourers in this outward organisation! He who has
told us to pray the Load of the harvest to send forth
labourers into his harvest will net fail to supply the right
instruments. Notwithstanding all that is mid of the diffi.
ashy of procuring curates, I myself have no doubt that an
appeal for such • work as we are undertaking will be an-
swered by the generous Christian youth of England; and
that es our country finds young soldiers to fight its battles
when the emergency arises, and promising young men from
our universities devote themselves every year to be mission-
aries in distant lands, so the call of their country and their
church will raise up soldiers of Christ to undertake this
truly muooowq labour here in the Owe which more than
any other has elatms upon Englishmen as being the centre
of English life.
"The necessary limits prescribed to this address will not
allow me to ester on details as to the circumstances of
those parishes to which our first cars will be directed:
neither ran I here minutely specify the particular ma-
chinery we wish to create in each. Such details will soon
be published, I trust, by our committee. Meanwhile, I
direct attention to the following arrangements
"I. I propose to receive subscriptionsand donatioos
payable either in one sum. or through • term of years, con-
tingent on the donor's life and adhereme to his present
intentions.
"IL Such payments, if it be wished, may be made for
the benefit of any specified neighbourhood in which the
donor feels particularly interested.
" 111. It will be desirable that each donor should stale
also whether be wishes his money to go to a general fund, or
to be applied specifically to any one of the following object' :
—l. Missionary clew or additional curates ; (a) to labour
in the diocese generally, under the bishop's control, (b) or
to be confined in their operations to particular parishes
2. Scripture readers • 3. Mission women ; 4. Clergymen's
residuum ; 6. Schools ;6. Mission rooms or school
churches ; 7. Esdowinest of old or new districts ; 8. Ea.
dormant of coracles ; 9. Building of churches. —I remain,
my Christian friends, your faithful servant in Christ,

PRIBINTATION OF NEW ZEALAND CHIEF. TO THB
PRINCE OF WALlB.—(Tats nat).—This afternoon • pee.
imitation of somewhat enamel character took place at
Marlborough House, the Prince and Princess of Wales
having been in attendance to receive the 13 New
Zealanders who are now in this country The
Prince and Princess received the New Zealanders at half.
past twelve, and they remained at Marlborough House until
halepeat one. The Prince conversed with them in most
friendly style through their interpreter (Mr. Jacking),
and the New Zealanders emphatically assured his royd
*bases of the great desire of the New Zealand tribes to
maintain the moat friendly relations with this country. His
rayed highness cordially reciprocated this with. After-
wards the New Zealand party proceeded to the residence of

The Spectator of to-day says :—" We have to cor-
rect a slight inaccuracy in our statement with regard to the
discussion on Mr. Kingsley's honorary degree in the heb-
domadal board. The opposition offered by Dr. Hansel to
Mr. Kispley's D.C.L., which we attributed last week to
the odium theologicum, was, in fact, of the slightest and
most technical character, and not advanced on moral or
religious grounds. As Mr. Kingsley's name has been with-
draws by the exercise, perhaps of a wise discretion, on the
park of the Prince of Wales, we trust that all the bitter
feelings which might otherwise have manifested themselves
in the approaching Commemoration may be laid aside in
honour of the occanon. There will be other and more sea-
sonable opportunities for the pitched battles which bigotry
too often forces on ressomble men."
The Reader states that a splendid, illustrated

The Army and Nary Gazette says :—" The Duke
of Chartres has been pleased to accept • pretty little
oedema, on the occasion of his marriage to his cousin, from
Colonel Neville and Colonel Fletcher, of the Poeta Familiar
Guards, who happened to be present with the Federal
army during the campaign is Virginia, so well described by
the Prince of Joinville whilst the priu'ss, his nephews,
were serving on the staff of General M'Clellmi. The
English officers, who were witnesses of their conduct,
speak in the highest terms of the gallantry and cog-
nate of the Duke of Chartres and the Count of Paris,
and it is agreeable to see that the priaces have not lost
sight of their companions in danger, if not is arms."

Karmic/toe Museum, which, oot withstanding the exceed•
ingly tiopropitious state of the weather, was numerously
and fashionably attended. The rooms were not, perhaps,

to those present to move about with comparative free-
dom, and the opportunity of seeing she variety of
interesting objects of science and art in which the
