ANGLO -AMERIC AN CHURCH IN PA RIS. —TheArch-
bishop of Armagh presided at a meeting held at London-
house, St. James's-square (by the kind permission of the
Bishop), in aid of a fund for the erection of a church and
the maintenance of the church services at Paris during the
period of the Exhibition. Many of the principal clergy
of the diocese were present. It appearei from the state-
ments of the Rev. Canon Hawkins, the Rev. J. S. Mon-
sell, LL.D., Archdeacon Huxtable, and others, that consi-
derable difficulty had been experienced in raising the
requisite funds for the erection of the church, for which
only £1,200 was required. His Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales headed the subscription list with a liberal donation,
as chairman of the British Commission, but others interested
a
in the Exhibition still held back. Meantime the respons ;
bility had been undertaken by the Continental Chapl
Girel,

report on the neutrality laws, of which Mr. George Bemis
made such a shocking exposure, ought, in the eyes of
every intelligent and honest man, to disqualify the author
for any position of responsibility with regard to our foreign
relations hereafter. It is hard to :illy whether the report
was more marked by ignorance or unscrupulousness, and
it ought to have relegated the writer to as private a station
as his peculiar gifts will allow him tcs occupy.
