ARCHDEACON BATHURST AND

QUEEN CAROLINE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
North Crenke, May 21, IS3S.
Strt,—My attention has this day been drawn to a passage in the
second volume of a book, p. 305, called " Memoirs of George the Fourth,
by Mr. Robert Hoist)," in which it is said (speaking of the late Queen
Caroline's attendance at St. Paul's after the dismissal of the Bill of Pain!
and Penalties) " The Rev. Archdeacon Bathurst solicited the honour of
delivering a Discourse which he hat prepared, but the request was re-
fused, &c."
Now I am very far from being ashamed of the part which I took upon
this occasion, nor am I surprised at the terms in which this matter is
represented, as my late father toll me that some officious, ill-natured,
and ill-informed person about the Court of that time, had informed has
Majesty George the Fourth that I had volunteered my services, upon
which an answer was given by his Majesty, which I shall not repeat
My late father, however, kindly desired the Nobleman who mentioned
the matter to him to set the matter right with the King—whether be
was so set right or not lam unable to say; but that the public may
correctly informed on the subject I beg to give the following two letters
which, without introducing other documents, are quite sufficient to see
the matter right—and Lord Brougham is still living as a witness to the
communications.
The following letter was written on the Tuesday of the week pre-
ceding the procession of her Majesty Queen Caroline to St. Paul's
44 IttleSCl3l.l.
" Dear Sir,—Her Majesty having appointed to go to Church a
Paul's on Wednesday, the 29th inst., both she and many of her friends.
feel anxious that you should preach the sermon upon that occasion, W &
before asking you, I have been desired to ascertain how far you might
feel inclined to do so.

" Believe me with great esteem and respect, truly your's,
" HENRY BROUGHan AM."
.11
The above letter being sent to Norwich, did not reach my d.". 11
The
Friday. I composed a short sermon, however, which afterwards "
published under Mr. (now Lord) Brougham's inspection, which was w4l
received by the people at large, and not unkindly nor ungenerously n'
the party opposed. I went immediately to London, accompanied y
Mrs. Bathurst, and the following Monday the following letter was re-
ceived by me at Stevens's Hotel, from Mr. Brougham : h
h
" Dear Sir,—l am sincerely vexed and sorry at the trouble w
to
have given you. From not hearing before I was prevented writing::
you. But the Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of St. Paul's, had late on b:
turday, refused permission to have a sermon preached; and whet"' tflt
b
rules of the Cathedral will permit you to officiate in the service I Call--t
yet say, but have sent to inquire.-
" I am obliged to go this morning to the Court of Exchequer, witere
I shall be till three o'clock, when I shall endeavour to wait on Y"'
"I am truly uneasy at having given you so much trouble, but P'
sume my addressing the letter to Norwich caused the delay.
Believe me with great respect and esteem, your's respectfully,
" H. BROUG111°,1::h'
The above letters contain the best illustration of the part which,
acted on the occasion alluded to, and form a very small part of
interest-
ing communications, illustrative of the conduct of parties, which at the rhc"
quest of a near connection,' suppressed in the life of my father. nutt ,t„,!.
passage in the publication alluded to not only fully will excuse, bu i;e
periously calls on me thus far to disclose what actually passed as to t
matter here specially in question.

I am, your obedient servant,
H. BATHURST'
