PRINCE ALBERT AND THE CITY OF
LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE
CHEST.

Yesterday, the ceremonial of laying the founda-
tion atone of an hospital for diseases of the chest in the
eastern division of the metropolis, was celebrated under the
auspices of his Itonl Highness Prince Albert, who was
supported on the oWsion by the Earl of Carlisle, president
of the charity, the Marquis of Westminster, the Marquis
of Abercorn, the Earl of Morton, the Earl of Hardwicie,
Lord It. Grosvenor, Lord Einnaird, the Bishops of London,
Oxfonl, and St. Asaph, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the
City of London, Chevalier Bunsen, Mr. T. Baring, M.P.,
Mr. Patton, and Mr. S. Gurney.
An hospital for the cure of diseases of the chest was esta-
blished in the neighbourhood of Finsbury-circus in 1848,
since which upwards of 7,500 persons, most of them out-
patients, have been relieved. The necessity of larger ac-
commodation in a less crowded locality was soon made ap-
parent, and hence originated the idea of a building for the
reception of in-patients, in order that the more severe cases
might be treated under the immediate observation et the
officers.
_ . .

The cite of proposed building is on the space of
ground formerly covered by Bishop Banner's house, and in
close proximity to the new Victoria Park ; so that a more
lEle locality could not well be selected for the purpose. The
elfin bending will be in its external appearance some-
IM Mims AssOtal. It is intended to accommodate at
including 80 beds for patients and the
s ...it "rmy Mere silmision of the building will be
foe the esememsdelien of patients. The cost of
the wins hes bee. entlmeded at 12,0001. In addition to

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1851.

The following is the altered form of the declaration giien
In Saturday's Expreu :

I. DECLARATION._

Adverting to the circumstances-of the time in which wa
are called to minister in this reformed portion of the church
of Christ, we deem it necessary to declare our Brm and im-
movable adherence to that great article of the faith, " one
baptism for the remission of sins," affirming it, as it is au-
thoritatively set forth in the Nicene Creed by the 11.
(Ecumenical Council, has since been held by the catholic
church in all ages, end is taught unequivocally by our own
church in its authorised formularies, especially in the offices
of baptism and in the Cateehirm; and we are the rather in-
duced to make this declaration, because we hope that many
who are now divided from us, may be brought to agreement
by thus knowing the real meaning and extent of the doc-
trine which we hold.

Therefore we declare that-
1. Acknowledging "one baptism for the remission of
sins," we hold as of faith that persons duly baptised (and
being adults, with fit qualification), are not only baptised
once for all, but also are baptised with the one true baptism
of Him who " haptimth with the Holy Ghost," and who thus
making us to" be born again of water and of the spirit," de-
livers us thereby from the guilt of all past sins, original and
actual, and from the bondage to which we should else be
subject, as He afterwards gives forgiveness of all sins com-
mitted after baptism on the terms of the baptismal covenant,
contrition of heart, and newness of life.
We hold, as implied in the aforesaid article of the creed,
all the great graces ascribed to baptism in our catechism—
far, "by one spirit we are all baptised into one body," even
the body of Jesus Christ ; we are made to be " His body,"
" members in particular" of His body," members of Christ."
And being thus "baptised unto Him, we are baptised into
His death," ' who " died for our sins ;" we are " dead with
Him"—"dead unto sin"—" buried by baptism with Him,
wherein also we are risen with Him"—" quickened together
with Him"—" act together in heavenly places in Christ
Jeaus"—" our life is hid with Christ in God." Believing that
dm Holy Ghost so joins us in baptism to Jesus Christ, that
we are, "in Him," " created in ChristYJesus," we believe
also that we are " children of God" in Him ; " and if chil-
dren, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ,
inheritors of the kingdom of heaven.
2. We hold, accordingly, that all infants, presented either
In church or privately, according to the Book of Common
Prayer, and baptised with water in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, do in and by baptism
"receive remission of sins by spiritual regeneration," and
are Undo members of Christ, being spiritually ingrafted
end incorporated into his mystical body ; original sin being
so far from an obstacle to the right reception of baptism,
that, as St. Augustine says, " Infants, because they are not
as yet guilty of any actual sin, have the original sin that is
In them remitted through the race of Him who saveth by
the washing of regeneration;' and as our own church de.
alarm that the baptised child, " being born in original sin,
and in the wrath of God, is by the laver of regeneration in
baptism, received into the number of the children of God,
and heirs of everlasting life; for our Lord Jesus Christ
loth not deny his grace and mercy unto such infants, but
Roe lovingly doth call them unto Him ;" and in accordance
herewith the 27th article expressly says that " the baptism
of young children is most agreeable with the institution of
Christ.'
3. We hold that the imparting of the aforesaid graces in
the baptism of young children is not hypothetical, depend-
ing either on the sincerity of those who present them, or
upon any other conditions (for else it would follow that in
CAWS in which the said conditions do not take place, both
the form of baptism itself, and the article "one baptism
for the remission of sins," must bo understood, not as true,
but as false and unreal).
4. Lastly, we hold, and would earnestly impress upon all
Christians, that the foregoing statemeuts, rightly understood,
so far from disparaging the need of conversion and amend-
ment, are a most powerful incentive to newness of life, and
especially to fervent prayer for renewed or continued grace,
so long as the term of our probation in this life shall last.
For baptism being the ordinance and instrument of Christ,
by which we aro "born again of the Spirit," it hinds us to
do that which it enables us to do, " to walk in the Spirit,
and not to fulfil the lusts of the flesh ; for if we live after
the flesh we shall die, but if we, through the spirit, do mor-
tify the deeds of the body, we shall live." Baptism makes
our bodies to be "temples of the Holy Ghost, which is in
us, which we have of God," and "if any man defile the
temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the temple of
God is holy." Wherefore, it follows that they who. being
baptized, live not after tho spirit, but after the 11, sh, ao
thereby draw on themselves greater damnation ; or if, " by
the grace of God, they arise again," they have need of the
deeper repentance, as having done despite to the spirit
which was in them.
Our correspondent says : I understand that Canon Bull,
Canon Rogers, Chancellor Martin, the Very Rev. the Dean,
have all refused to attend the Synod. Dr. Bull's and Chan-
cellor Martin's several letters of refusal are reported to go at
great length into the subject, and much importance
is attached to their opposition. It is reported
that several communications have passed from
the government to the bishops ; and that the
right reverend prelate has been required to have
the doors open whilst discussing matters which con-
cern the Church of England as by law established. I give
this as the report in Exeter, without being able to vouch
for its accuracy. There is one novelty about the affair. It
is repotted and believed that the clergy arc actually invited
to dine with the bishop at the palace, which his lordship
very seldom occupies. Dr. Hooke', who was defendant in
a ease of seduction some time since, applied for admission
to the cathedral te-day in full canonicals, but it was re-
ported that ho had come too late.
