Peal's, Jame 26, 1846. Dear Blr, I elit sot asswer your
letter of the 21st May because my mason had al-
ready lees given to a miry of IbX ; hat you
desired me to as it at 701., whisk is, I believe, dose for the
protein year." The the 801. elapsed Irell Ant Awed to me,

afterwards passed on the subject! flia months late, my

the latter.
Before I stimaladu let me state that what I chiefly coos -
pieta of, and what constiories, as I emotive, the " gravamen"
of the charge which I have brought forward, and now re.
rar.ge, the Bishop of Llandaff, is not *so much his
infraction of the law in appointng me such a
stipend as 231. a year, as his subsequent conduct. When
1 learned my Tights and referred the bishop to the
law of the matter I was met by a relusel, followed op by a
intim to quit my curacy. 1 asked feejustice, and received
my dismissal.
With regard to 11r. Crawley's argument that the bishop

quit became of die &Semmes which existed between us, 1
beg to my that is said 1111111114 to give the thing " a colour."
Our differences arose solely from the fan of the vicar's never
paying me withriat my having to write to the bishop for a
atoeitkin" to compel him to do so, sad at last the bishop
grew weary of se " treatiltreoase a oorrespoodent." What
need was there of esumualeations between the incumbent
and sinesU even en " pemoral matters," when 1 was in the
sole 'barge of the pad* ?
Finally, I ma comtintit the bishop out of his own
mouth by cleating a passage from one of his letters
to me, Wore referred to, dated April 3, 1816.
He is referring to the ioeumbent's threats of not
paying the then increase of stipend. and he says • " If
Mr. P— pleads his legal rights he will find blemish mis-
taken. He has no license of not residence. The arrange.
meat made was an indulgence granted upon the strong re-
presentatiese he made of his pecuniary emberromments, and
of his being actually engaged in a treaty for exchange of his
glebe for a more eligible sits which he exported to obtain.
All these pleas mesa to have vanished. He can claim no
'reuse.= from the tines ander which a non resident
clergyman is placed." This beiag the case in 1846, ti fortiori
it was the ears in 1817 and 1848, the vicar still 'mauling is

violated by the Bishop of Liendaff; enough, also, it may be
hoped, to prevent any repetition of the violation.—Ed. E.)

THE ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL,
RAVERSTOCK-HILL.
Sir,—As you hue in two separate articles chosen
to attack a class of iestitutions deserving, with all deferents
to your opinion, the most extensive supporta( an enlightened
and benevolent public, I think it right you should know that
your misrepresentations are not to remain unexposed, even
though no other person attempts a reply than the humble
individual who now addresses you, that is, presuming that
you will allew this communication to appear in your paper.
Your article of the 30th of October has a general reference,
out notwithstanding what you my about there being no ex-
aggeration in your description of the canvass and the election
of a child, I venture to say It is a gross caricature, and has
no existence but in the brain of the writer. In Punch it
would go down as a capital joke, in your columns sober
truth is looked for. There is so doubting the fact that can-
vassing is a trying awl difficult employment, I wish there
were none of it. -Peaddly youout suggest a remedy. Your
" stale remedy we met de yet awhile.
Year mesimise tM the amide is most unjust, as well as
libellous ups des elsellellier of these institutions. You ask !
"De tray lfromblo grit the children when they get them, •
neyeling lite • prom education ?" And then reply, "In
mat see we b4iare not." Why not go to the asylums and
seseeMia the fact before you write ? 1 believe they do, and
fee our own institutiee, I invite you to go and judge
r; Ilag
esweelL Your next question is, Do thee take ogre of
isem when they send them out, as they do at the tender age
el 14 or 18 upon the wide world ? " In reply, I answer by
saying the Orphan Working School does, and never tome
sight of them until they are 21. Some are the staunch sup-
porters of the charity who were ones children in the school.
In most cases, situations are provided for them, and a pre-
mium given, and such is the character of the education of
the hop, that Se of i.e.t are sow in the employment of the
Lectnc Telegraph Company, whilst young men who have
been to good schools in the ordinary HIM of the term, have
been dismissed for want of ability.
Tr.e insinuation as to the female portion of our orphan
ewablishmesita is " too bed." I have heard a statement
somewhat sitellar as to one of them, bat after full inquiry
I was satialad it was not true. Of ell the girls educated
in our *shod I only know of one cue where such a suspicion
✓ested, soda hose sot been able to ascertain whether there
is the slightent ground for believing it. It is, however,
eayable of be proved beyond a doubt, that of the class of
unfottusses firmedss, the largest proportion were left or-
phan+ ; bed they been inmates of the lieverat institutions
they ail& hale been virtuous and honest, as well as =Mad
memben of widely.
Teo weft Mlle day's paper is one intending to damage
the wipe d tie Institutions. Why they should be selected
is beet hem• 4 urself—pasibly I can guess. If the
Wm written and truthfully, no pen of mine
isetd Mee hem Yken up in their defence ; but I contend
test your Mainesents are tairstatements, your facts are
&atomisme sod yom attempt to mislead he every line you
have wide's. Take, for instance the deaseial statement
prissitted la oar report (and I rejoice when them matters are
taken is hand and analysed by competent parties, though
I am free to state, as you have taken a strong bias
in favour of putting everything into the hands of
government, you ere not likely to do it fairly) ;
you mate thatour ash statement is "difilindt to understand."
I mart that nothing can be plainer. Yoe commence by
telling your readers that the committee of the Orphan
Working (School are men of taste (why not?) end that
they have greeted a building en " Berry's latest patent," at
a cost of 20,0001. As to the beauty of the building, its
charming simatice, and healthiness as a residence fee
the children__ ,we are prised, bat as to its cot, we widely
differ. Had yt u exaeuned page 10 of the report, you would
have seen that the building east, with its ibrniture and fittings,
only 11,3121.194.9 d. Tke boundary walls, paving, lodge,
2,M1., and of the remaining sum to make up 19,6101. 12e. 10d
• large portion has been interred, anticipating a profitable
letting or the ground for dwelling-boom One thing is cer-
tain, that no public building of its nee has been more cheaply
built. It is of brick, and stuccoed. All through the pro
ceedings, economy was the watchword of the committee,
sad it has been well carried out.
With respect to the onus' expeditors of the institution,
in this you are altogether wrong. The cash statement gives
of wane the actual same received and expended during the
year, bet not the arena cost, as amuse in some cases
remain to be paid say in 1847 belonging to 1846. The fol-
lowing nets is printed with the cosh statement, and will
show the matter daily :
