Sir, —As very few persons are in possession of Dr. Rae's
official despatch describine, his last Arctic journey, I think
it highly desirable to let the public know through your
columns the authority that Lord Wrottesley had for criti-
cising Dr. Rae's conduct and extraordinary apathy.
Dr. Rae says that it was not until the end of May that
he received information on the point that he was at one
time within 50 miles of the locality where the Esquimaux
stated the dead bodies of our countrymen had been 'found.
Now, in his official despatch he writes under the date of
April 21 :
"We were met by a very intelligent Esquimaux. This
man was very communicative, and, on putting to him the
usual questions as to his having seen white men before, or
any ships or boats, he replied in the negative, but said
that a party of Kabloomans had died of starvation a long
distance to the west of where we then were, and beyond
a large river. The substance of the information then and
subsequently obtained from various sources was to the fol-
lowing effect."
Dr. Rae then proceeds to narrate the catastrophe, and
that there may be no doubt as to his having learned the
intelligence thus early, he says, in a subsequent part of his
despatch, under date of May 21 :
It was from this time until August that I had oppor-
tunities of questioning the Esquimaux regarding the in-
formation I had already obtained of the party of whites
who had perished of starvation."
It would be easy to add more to prove, by Dr. Rae's
despatches and track chart, that he was in possession of the
above information when he was, as Lord Wrottesley justly
said, within 50 miles of the spot where the reported catas-
trophe occurred; but the foregoing extracts are abun-
dantly sufficient to enable the public to form an equitable
judgment respecting Dr. Rae's lame attempt to justify
himself.—l am, Sir, your humble servant,
July VEAITAS.

the words would virtually negative the bill, because
would give it a general character.
Sir J. GRAHAM asked if the letter dated 21st June
was the first communication received from the Bishop
of Durham, with reference to the amount of retiring
allowance, and whether their letter was not the ultima-
tum that passed between the Government and the bishop.
He understood there were repeated communications be-
tween them, and that a larger sum was asked by the
bishop.
Lord PALMERSTON said, he first heard of the
Bishop of Durham's wish to resign in the autum.
After that he was informed the right rev. prelate did
not wish to resign, and the matter dropped. After that
he had a ♦erbal communication from the bishop, and
the first intimation in writing relative to the allowance
was contained in the letter referred to.
Sir J. SHELLEY said that with reference to the
Bishop of London he was enabled to state that the only
proposition ever made by him was contained in the pub-
lished correspondence.
Mr. E. DENISON objected to the introduction of the
words. It would be impossible to make this a general
measure, and if they admitted the words, difficulties
at every stage.
Mr. Henley did not consider these words would have
the effect of making the measure a general one, or would
compel alteration in the other clauseS of the bill.
Mr. GLADSTONE said that was so. What he
wanted to do was to make the Law of Resignation gene-
ral. This bill did not propose to authorise resignation'
but to allow it, and the alteration he proposed would
remove any doubts that might hereafter arise in regard
to filling up 'a bishoprick under this bill.
Mr. NAPIER having addressed a few remarks to
the committee, when
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL addressed the com-
mittee at some length, intbe course of which he contended
that the charge of simony did not apply to the arrangement
under consideration, and it was to be regretted it should
have been introduced into the debate. Any person con-
versant with the law and ecclesiastical history must be
aware that what was now proposed was in strict con-
' fermity with the law of the Church, and with the muni-
cipal and conventional law on the subject of simony.
