From leaving England within a week after his consecration, the
Bishop of Rupert's Land was unable at the time to issue a direct
appeal to the Christian public. After an interrupted residence of
seven years in his diocese, he can now do so with a fuller knowledge
of the country, anti;the wants of i s inhabitants.

The increase of Clergy has more than equalled his expectations.
Five in number when he first set foot in the land, they are now nine-
teen. Education has advanced inSthe same proportion. After all,
however, that has been done, there remains yet much land to be
po sessed. The territory is nearly as large as Europe, stretching
from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific—from
the parallel of latitude 49 degr.es northward to the Arctic Sea. if g
Two Tribes only of the Indians—the Crees and the Saulteaux—
have yet been approached. There are many other Tribes wandering
over the plains towards the west—many to the north of the great
height of land towards the Mackenzie River. It is Imagined that
they would be as accessible, If the offers were made to them, as those
already brought under the Gospel.
On these grounds the Bishop would venture to appeal to those
who have at heart the welfare of their fellow-countrymet cut off
from the means of grace, and of the Heathen still In darkness and
the shadow of death. His special objects would be
Ist—The erection of a modest and unpretending Cathedral Church,
that in which he has hitherto officiated being supported by props
both within and without. The es►imated cost would be about £4,500
—both labour and building materials being expensive on the spot.
2nd—The extension of Missionary labour. It is found impossible
to multiply ministers, something, it is hoped, may be attempted by
a system of colportage, sending forward native agents as pioneers
among 'their countrymen. Since the Bishop's arrival in England,
two very promising candidates for the ministry have offered them-
selves to go abroad, who have been necessarily declined from want of
means.

3rd.—The promotion of Edu2ation. In addition to the Collegiate
School for Boys, the Bishop has undertaken a large responsibility
in the purchase of a house for a Female School, feeling that the
elevation of the country will, under God, depend on the training of
the mothers of the next generation. In the establishment of other
siihools much outlay is also incurred, which, from the circumstances
of a land where there are few to help In any good work, falls in a
great measure upon the Bishop himself.
ln furtherance of the above appeal, a Public Meeting was he'd on
the 9th of January. at the Collegiate Institution, T. B. Borstal',
Esq., in the Chair, when the following resolutions were passed :
Moved by the Ven. Archdeacon Jones, seconded by Adam Hod.
son, Esq. :—`• That this meeting desire to tender their sincere wel-
come to the Bishop of Rupert's Land on his arrival in the scene of
his earliest labours in the Ministry, and to express their earnest
hope that he may be spared to return and renew those arduous
labours which have been already so abundt.ntly blessed to the in.
habitants of Rupert's Land."
Moved by the Rev. H, Al'Neile, D.D., Hon. Canon of Chester,
seconded by the Rev. W. Rawson That it is the conviction of
this meeting, having heard from Bisl.op Anderson a statement of the
peculiar wants of his diocese, that it has special claims on the sym-
pathy and support of Christians at home, and that with this view
the following gentlemen be requested to act as a committee for raising
the necessary funds .-
