where alterations have been introduced with general acqui-
escence, let things remain as they are ; in those which re-
tain the less accurate usage,let no risk ofdivision be incurred
by any attempt at change, till some final arrangement
can be made with the sanction of the proper authorities.
In the case of churches where agitation prevails, and
nothing has been definitively settled, it is not possible to
lay down any general rule which may be applicable to all
circumstances. But is it too much to hope that those who
are zealous for the honour of God and the good of his
Church, will show, by the temporary surrender of their
private opinions, that they are equally zealous in the
cause of peace and charity ?
On the particular questions which disquiet the public
mind, I think it unadvisable to pronounce an opinion.
Upon careful examination, I have found reason to think
that some of these questioni dire more difficult of solution
than is commonly imagined, and that the meaning which
occurs at first sight is not always' the most correct.
And the general question in respect to what should
be conceded to usage in controlling or modifying
the written law, seems to me to be open to much
doubt. But, if I were ever so fully persuaded in
my own mind, I should be unwilling, for reasons
already assigned, to pronounce a judgment which,
not having legal authority, might be accepted by
some and disregarded by others, and might thus increase
the confusion which it was designed to remedy. For
similar reasons I have not thought it expedient to call
the Bishops of my province together at this time,
though it will be my desire, as well as my duty,
to seek their advice and assistance when a fit op-
portunity presents itself. I am, however, fully
assured of their general concurrence in depre-
cating the continuance of discussions, which will
undoubtedly multiply strife and contention, but which,
in the present posture of things, can lead to no beneficial
result.

A LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE
CLERGY AND LAITY OP MS PROVINCE,
BY WILLIAM, LORD ARCIIBISEIOI3 OF CAN-
TERBURY.

For a considerable time pant my attention has been
anxiously turned to the divisions in the. Church, occa-
sioned by differences of opinion with respect to the in-
tention of certain rubrical directions in the Liturgy, and
diversities of practice in the performance of. Divine Ser-
vice. These questions, relating to matters in themselves
indifferent, but deriving importance from their connexion
with the maintenance ofuniformity and order in the solemn
ministrations of the Church, are rendered difficult by the
ambiguity of the rubrics in some instances, and in all,
by the doubts which may arise as to the weight which
should be allowed to general usage when it varies from
the written law. It is partly on these accounts, and
partly from uncertainty with respect to the extent of the
powers committed to the Archbishop of the Province, in
the preface to the Book of Common Prayer, for the reso-
lution of doubt in regard to the contested points, that
I have not felt myself justified in expressing an
authoritative opinion upon questions occasionally sub-
mitted to me on these subjects. I was, indeed, willing to
hope that these controversies, like many of much greater
importance which have for a season disquieted the Chutch,
would be suffered to die away of themselves, when the
arguments on each side had been thoroughly sifted,
from the good sense of the parties engaged in them,
and the general conviction of their unprofitableness.
But having been disappointed in this expectation, and
considering the tendency of continued agitation to weaken
the sacred bonds of affection which ought to unite the
clergy and laity as members of one body in Christ, I
hold it a duty to come forward, in the hope of allaying
animosities, and putting a atop to dissensions, which are
shown by experience to be not only uuedifying, but mis-
chievous. With this view I would call your attention to
a few considerations, which, with persons who are de-
sirous of peace, will, I trust have their due weight.
It has long been observed that, in the performance of
Divine service in the genrality of our parochial churches,
there has been a deviation, in certain particulars, from
the express directions of the rubric, and that, in some
cases, a oifferenee in respect to the sense of the rubric -
has led to a diversity in practice. In regard to such
points, in themselves non-essential, the most conscien-
tious cleygymen have felt themselves justified in treading
in the steps of their predecessors ; and hence the
irregularity (for all departure from rule is irregular),
which seems, in some instances at least, to have existed
from the beginning, became inveterate. There have, I
apprehend, at all times been clergymen who have been
distressed by this inconsistency ; and of late years it
has been regarded by many excellent men as irreconcil-
able with the obligations which they took upon them-
selves on their admission into Holy Orders. Under
the influence of these scruples, they thought it right
to adhere as closely as possible to the letter of the
rubric in their ministration ; whilst others of their
brethren, not less conscientious, have been deter•
mined by considerations, in their estimation of
great weight, to follow the usage which they found
established in their respective churches. Under
these circumstances a diversity of practice has
arisen, which is not only inconsistent with the
principle of uniformity maintained by the Church,
but is sometimes associated in the minds of the
people with peculiarities of doctrine, and gives
birth to suspicions and jealousies destructive of the
confidence which should always subsist between the flock
and their pastor. To prevent the increase of an evil
which might terminate in actual schisnii was confessedly
most desirable ; and the

combined the several advantages of securing compliance
with the law of the Church and the land, of putting
a stop to unauthorised innovaticns, and of excluding
party distinctions, in their character decidedly un-
christian, from the public worship of God ; and can-
not but regret that measures which, with a view to these
good purposes, have been recommended by high autho-
rities, should not have been received with unanimous
acquiescence, as the means of restoring order and peace,
without any departure from the principles of the Church,
or offence to the most scrupulous conscience.
At the same time, I am sensible that those who
object have much to allege in their justification.
It' the written law is against them, they plead an
opposite usage, in parochical churches at least, reaching
hack, perhaps, to the time when the intention of the
lawgiver was best understood, superseding its literal
sense, and determining its real meaning ; they appeal to
the general consent of bishops, clergy, and laity, implied
in the absence of any effectual interference during so long
a period, they object to the sudden revival of rules, which
in their opinion are obsolete, and still more, to their
rigid enforcement after so long a term of abeyance,
In fairness to them we must allow, that this dislike of
alterations in the manner of worship to which they have
been accustomed from their infancy, proceeding, as it
does, from attachment to the ordinances of the Church,
ought not to be visited with unkindly censure ; and we
can hardly be surprised at any change being regarded
with suspicion when so many attempts have been made
to introduce innovations which are really objection-
able, and tend, as far as they go, to alter the cha-
racter of our Church. It must also be granted that the
intention of the Church is not always clearly discoverable
from the language of the rubric, nor determinable with
absolute certainty from the records of early practice.
In such cases it may with sonic show of reason be said,
that, as the eminent men to whom the several revisions
of the Liturgy were successively entrusted, did not see
the necessity' of giVing directions so precise as to insure
a rigid conformity in every particular, we may be con-
tented to acquiesce in slight deviations from rule,, sug-
gested by convenience, and sanctioned by long usage.
Now, whatever may be the force of the arguments on
either side, a difference of opinion will probably always
exist in regard to the contested points. But all
parties will concur in regarding these points as of
far less importance than the maintenance of that
mutual confidence which, next to support from
above, forms the main strength of the Church, pro-
ducing the harmonious' co-operation of its several
members, and disposing the people to look up with
reverence to their pastor as their spiritual instructor and
guide. In whatever degree, or by whatever means, the
tie of affection is loosened, a proportionate diminution
will follow of that moral influence on which the efficiency
of the clergyman's teaching will always depend.
The case, then, if fairly considered with reference to
the existing dissensions, and the results to be expected
from their continuance, will show the necessity of mutual
forbearance to the peace And the honour, I may even say,
to the safety, of the Church. The laity, it may be hoped,
will see the propriety of respecting the consciences of
such of the clergy as have held themselves bound
to strict compliance with the express direction
of the rubric, without regard to former disuse ; and
the clergy will perceive the expediency of not pressing
too harshly, or abruptly, the observance of laws which,
having by themselves and their predecessors been long
suffered to sleep, have now the appearance of' novelty.
I am fully alive to the importance of uniformity in the
celebration of Divine Service ; but I think it would
be purchased too dearly at the expense of lasting divi-
sions—a consequence which, I trust, will be averted by
a suspension of the existing disputes. My hope of such
an adjustment is grounded on the wisdom, temper, and

The matters in controversy, considered in them-
selves, are not of vital importance : the service in our
churches has in general been conducted in conformity to
the Apostle's direction, with order, and decency ; and,
whether performed with exact regard to the letter of the
rubric, or with the variations established by general
usage, will still be decent and orderly. I therefore entreat
you to consider, whether the peace of the Church should
be hazarded by prolonging an unprofitable controversy,
at a time, more especially, when her energies are di-
rected, with such hope of success, to the promotion of
religion and morals, and when the clergy

—AthenrcUln:

In order to guard against misapprehension, I think it
proper to state, that all I have here said is strictly con-
fined to the rubrical questions which have occasioned
the present agitation. All change in the performance
of the service, affecting the doctrine of the Church, by
alteration, addition, or omission, I regard with unquali-
fied disapprobation. I may further remark that the
danger to the Church would be great, if clergymen, not
having due respect either to episcopal authority or estab-
lished usage, should interpret the rubric for themselves,
should introduce or curtail ceremonies at pleasure, or
make Divine Service in any way the means of express-
ing their own theological opinions or party views. In
respect to the ritual, the preface to the Book of Com-
mon Prayer directs all persons having doubts, or diversely
taking anything in the performance of the Church Service,
to resort to the Bishop of the diocese fur the resolution of
such doubts, and the appeasing of diversities. Had due
attention been paid, from the first, to this salutary rule,
the Church might perhaps have been saved from much of
the dissension which at various times has divided her
members, and grieved and perplexed her rulers, and which,
if not speedily checked, may again cause a serious dis-
turbance of her peace. Considering the course I have sug-
gested as offering the only immediate means of averting
such a calamity, and at the same time preparing the
way for a final arrangement at a convenient season, I
earnestly recommend its adoption, in the hope that
through the blessing of God, it may lay the foundation
of lasting peace ; " and to this end"— (I borrow the
words of a learned and pious ritualist)—" to this end may
the God of Peace give us all meek hearts, quiet spirits,
and devout affections, and free us from all prejudice, that
we may have full churches, frequent prayers, and fervent
charity ; that, uniting in our prayers here, we may all
join in His praises hereafter, for the sake ofJesus Christ
our Lord." Amen. W. CANTUAR.
Lambeth Palace, Jan. 11, 1845.

" T. M. Ray, Esq."
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN moved the insertion of the letter
on the minutes, and congratulated the Association on
the certainty of having Mr. O'Connell with them on the
succeeding Monday.
The SECRETARY read a communication from Mr.
Steele, dated Carrick-on-Shannon, announcing that
having succeeded in tranquillising the county Leitrim he
would now direct his efforts to the county of Tipperary.
The writer concluded by saying, " I venerate his Holi-
ness the Pope, as the spiritual head—the Sancti.ssimate
Pontiff of the religion of my Catholic Christian brethren
over the globe of the earth ; but I say to his Holiness,
in his character of a temporal prince of a State in Italy,
that no power on earth except the Queen, the Lords,
and the Commons, has a right to make laws for Ireland
—temporal laws for the direction of Ireland, or for any
portion of her people.' "
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then rose and brought under the
consideration of the meeting the subject of repeal read-
ing rooms. Having read the rules by which these read-
ing rooms were to be conducted, and entered into some
details respecting them, he proceeded to say, that the
establishment of these reading rooms met with the con-
sent and hearty concurrence of the Irish people. Sinep
his first acquaintance with his countrymen he had disco-
vered among them an ardent thirst for knowledge. Ire-
land had been in former ages the centre of learning and
civilisation ; to it numbers crowded from all parts for
education, and its missionaries were to be found in all
quarters of the world. Misrule and foreign domination
had tended to interrupt that happy state of things ;
but, he was happy to say, that the same spirit
which actuated their ancestors was still alive. He
was sure he had their sympathy with him when he spoke
on the subject of literature. They should be anxious,
and he was confident they were, to look into the history
of nations, and see how the people of those countries
conducted themselves when they were oppressed, and
learn to profit by the mistakes they made when assert-
ing their liberties. It has been said that agitation frus-
trated industry, and that the people lost their time in
attending meetings and listening to speeches, in place of
attending to their business. Now he would say that their
most active repeal wardens were examples of industrial
exertion ; and one of the first inquiries made by the
committe when any individual applied for the office of
repeal warden was, whether he attended properly to his
own private avocations. Their great object in forming
these reading rooms was for the political education of
the people. Under other circumstances it might be de-
sirable to exclude party politics from them, but at
present that would be impossible, as they should be ren-
dered effective in carrying out the policy of the Asso-
ciation, and be made the means of extorting the repeal
of the union—perfect harmony and concord should be
their characteristic of action. After some further ob-
servations, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by submit-
ting his motion for adoption.
The motion was seconded by Mr. CANGLEY, barrister,
and passed.
Mr. M'NEvIN briefly addressed the meeting, confining
his observations to the late communication from Rome
to Dr. Crolly, the Catholic primate, which he censured
in the most marked and emphatic manner. He denied
that the Court of Rome, or any foreign potentate, bad
the right to exercise any authority over the temporal
affairs of the people of Ireland. It was rumoured that
English gold was at work, but he was convinced that
every effort would fail in stifling the demand for repeal.
Was it, ho would ask, the voice of Peel, diluted through
the lungs of a Petre, that was governing the councils of
the Vatican ?
Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT addressed the meeting at some
length, on the same subject as the last speaker. He
denied the power of the Pope to interfere in the tempo-
ral affairs of the people of Ireland, and said he would
treat any rescript having such a tendency as he would
an emanation from the bureau of the Grand Turk. They
would accept as much Roman theology as they wished to
send them, but they would receive no Roman politics.
Mr. H. GRATTAN likewise addressed the meeting, and
expressed his hearty concurrence in all the observations
which had fallen from the speakers who preceded him,
and expressed his solemn conviction that the letter from
the Propaganda did not represent the opinions of his
Holiness, but that it was extorted from him.

and all other private and merchant ships and vessels,
lighters, barges, boats, and other craft whatsoever, in
Plymouth Sound, and in the harbours of Hamoaze
and Catwater, made and established pursuant to the
Act of Parliament, passed in the 54th year of the
reign of his late Majesty King George the Third,
chap. 159, intituled " An Act for the better regulation
of the several ports, harbours, roadsteads, sounds,
channels, bays, and navigable rivers, in the United
Kingdom, and of his Majesty's docks, dockyards, ar-
senals, wharfs, moorings, and stores therein, and for
repealing several Acts passed for that purpose."
As TO PLYMOUTH SOUND.
Art. I. All her Majesty's ships and vessels of war are
exclusively to occupy the outer anchorage in Plymouth
Sound, within and near the Breakwater.
Art 11. All merchant and other private ships and ves-
sels, of every description, are hereby ordered to occupy
the inner anchorage in the Sound, within a space bounded
by the following marks and lines, viz.:—
To the northward of a line supposed to be drawn from
Ram Cliff Point, towards the west.
To the southward of another. line supposed to bo drawn
from Mount Edgcumbe House, through the Canteen on
Drakes Island, to the eastern shore of Plymouth Sound.
To the eastward of another line supposed to be drawn

Plymouth, to the Obelisk on the Hoe, and continued
through the whitewashed seamark on the rocks, to the
before-mentioned line supposed to be drawn from the
Rain Cliff Point, towards the west.
The object of this arrangement is, that a sufficient na-
vigable channel may be kept open over the hard and
foul ground on the west side of this anchorage, and no
ship or vessel whatever shall be anchored or placed in
the said navigable channel, under pain of the penalties
prescribed by the said Act of Parliament.

other person employed by either of them, shall anchor or
moor, or cause to be anchored or moored, any such pri-
vate ship of war, transport, or other private ship or ves-
sel, lighter, barge, boat, or other craft, in the fair way
or channel between the Queen's moorings in the said
harbour or in Barnpool, within fifty fathoms of the cen-
tres of any of the said moorings, or of her Majesty's
ships, floating magazines, and hulks, lying thereat, or in
the front or abreast of her Majesty's docks, dock-yard,
or gun-wharf, and between the same and the eastern line
of husks, or even to drop an anchor within such space
and situations, except in case of necessity to prevent da-
mage to herself, or that of the Queen's ships which may
be at the contiguous mooring, and then to remove as
soon as possible thereafter; except also in cases where any
of the said ships, vessels or craft, may be consigned to the
dock-yard or gun-wharf, and must, therefore, necessarily
anchor contiguous thereto, till they can come to the
cranes and wharfs for delivery of their cargoes, and then
to be placed in such situations as the superintendent of
her Majesty's dock-yard at Devonport, or the masters
attendant or Queen's pilots by whom they are conducted
shall direct.
Nor shall any private ship of war, transport, or other
private or merchant ship or vessel, lighter, barge, boat,
or other craft, be anchored or moored between the island
and main, at a less distance than fifty fathoms to the
southward of the transporting buoy within the said
island, or in any place off the oast end of the island near
the buoy of the Asia shoal, or between it and the buoy
of the Winter, or near the fair way or outer transporting
buoy in the Sound, neither shall any be made fast to, or
be moored, or secured by any of the mooring anchors or
chains to which access can be had when the tide is out,
either on the eastern or western shore of the said harbour
of Hamoaze, or be made fast to any of the buoys or piles
of her Majesty within the said harbour, in the fronts of
the said docks, dock-yard, or gun-wharf, or other pre-
mises belonging to them respectively, nor anchor or moor
so as to swing within any of the said buoys or piles, upon
pain of the penalties for such offences as the said Act of
Parliament directs.
Nor under pain of the penalties before referred to,
shall any private ship of war, transport, or other private
ship or vessel, lighter, barge, boat, or other craft, be
anchored or moored in any place or places within the
port of Hamoaze, except on the eastern side of Stone-
house-pool, and in extent not corning further to the
westward than the Queen's Slaughter-house, and in that
range to the northward, at the mouth or entrance to
Milbrook Lake, or the northward of all her Majesty's
moorings. This restriction, in regard to the anchorage
of merchant ships, transports, &c., is, however, not in-
tended to exclude such as, trading to the port, must ne-
cessarily have admission to the several wharfs, docks,
&c., at Mutton Cove, North Corner, New Passage, and
elsewhere, for loading and unloading their cargoes, and
which are generally grounded for such purposes ; but
all such merchant ships, vessels, lighters, barges, boats,
or other craft, are to continue to enjoy their accustomed
privileges in this respect, in as full and effectual a man-
ner as if these regulations had not taken effect.
Art. 11. All private ships of war, transports, and
other private ships or vessels, lighters, barges, boats, and
other craft, are hereby expressly prohibited, under the
penalties of the said Act, from being breamed in any
part of the said harbour of Hamoaze, except on the
shores of Stonehouse-pool aforesaid, at Frank's Quarry,
or to the northward of the Queen's moorings ; and from
coming or entering into the said harbour, being laden
with, or having on board, any quantity of gunpowder,
exceeding five pounds weight in the whole. And all
such gunpowder is hereby appointed to be left and de-
posited at a depot established for that purpose on Ni-
cholas Island, at the entrance of the said harbour, where
the same will be taken and received according to the
provisions of the said Act.

[ Mr. S. O'BRIEN congratulated the meeting on the noble
spirit displayed to-day, which clearly proved that there
was not in this country a divided allegiance, and he
trusted that the admonition given would be effectual in
the right quarter. The lion. Gentleman then announced

The meeting then adjourned.
STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
In Meath, as well as in Tipperary, the Roman Catholic
clergy and the farmers are exerting themselves with
most commendable zeal to repress crime.
Last week a very numerous meeting was held at Car-
lanstown. county of Meal h, at which Henry Meredyth,
Esq., a magistrate of that county, and an extensive
landed proprietor, presided. Mr. Meredyth addressed
the meeting, and, says the Drogheda Argus, " implored
of all who heard him to regard his solemn warnings, and
to use all their influence, each within his own locality, to
watch vigilantly over the peace of the country and their
own safety involved therein. He reminded them, as
men who loved their country and revered Mr. O'Connell,
to regard the advice of that great and influential man,
who had done so much for the people of Ireland. lie
conjured them to follow that advice, not merely in ab-
staining themselves from all connection with those so-
cieties—for that he was sure all who heard him would • ".
do— but they must also go farther ; they must use all
their best endeavours to prevent others from joining in
those illegal confederacies. Let them follow the advice
of the Liberator in keeping the peace—in preventing the
introduction of illegal societies—and there was no doubt
he would lead them to greater moral victories than he.
had yet achieved." The chairman concluded his elo-
quent appeal by calling again on each person to act in
his own neighbourhood as a guardian of the public
peace, and he highly commended the determination of
the repeal wardens to inquire into any suspicious cir-
cumstance which might come to their knowledge, and re-
commended that they" should denounce and hand over to
the proper authorities any person whom they had reason
to believe to be connected or'engaged in introducing
these infamous societies, or otherwise concerned in dis-
turbing the public peace."
THE BEQUESTS ACT—POPULAR EXCITE-
MENT.
The Drogheda Argus, in noticing the agitation con-
nected with the Charitable Bequests Act, and the ru-
mours of a concordat, makes the following remarks:—
" We disapprove of all personal attacks upon the
bishops who are commissioners—we are and have been
opposed to the imputation of any corrupt motive to any
ono of those prelates ; nor do we now offer any argu-
ment upon the Act alluded to. We care not what opi-
nion may be formed of the Act as regards the object of

Ca-
tholic people of Ireland entirely differm
vene-
rable bishops—too many have given expwriessionosteo theirfeelings in a manner the most painful to those who
like ourselves, are imbued with a deep veneration for
the priestly order ; and still more admit those feelinV
to harbour within their breasts. The name of the Pri-
mate of all Ireland has been treated with disrespect,
votes of thanks have been published to his assailants,
resolutions refusing to place confidence in any one of
the three prelates have been in very many places
adopted. On the other side, foul calumnies have been
rashly taken up and thoughtlessly'circulated of a plot
to take the life of the venerable Archbishop of Dublin.
Another calumny was whispered that the venerable and
the Learned Bishop, Dr. Kennedy, resigned through
fear that he might be murdered. Near this town, in one
of the Primate's own parishes, the people were prevented
—we are sure without his authority or approval—from
holding a meeting to petition, us they were permitted to
do by the constitution of the realm, for a repeal of this
Act ; forged letters, purporting to be from the Holy
Father of the Christian Church were circulated, as if he
forbade the Catholic people to petition against the mea-
sure ; priest has been set against priest, and bishop
against bishop. These are facts which cannot be de-
nied. We condemn all violence of surmise, of language,

" Darrynane Abbey, Jan. 10, 1845.. •
"My dear Ray,—You have inclosed 1/. 4s, repeal rent
from Bishop's Castle, and also 11. for another little
cherub of a grand-daughter of mine, Betsie O'Connell
(Charles), whom I forgot in my last list.
" I intend, with God's blessing, to be in town on the
18th or 19th inst. You may therefore announce The
Liberator will attend!'
" How ludicrous is the state of ignorance of the public
writers in England respecting the tone and temper of
the Irish mind. They will now have it that the fervent
anxiety of the Irish for repeal has cooled down, and been
succeeded by some indifference. What folly ! There
never were so persevering a people as the Irish ; and • ,
the English scoffers may rest assured that there will be
no:relaxation of every means providOby the Constitution
for agitating for the repeal until our Parliament is in.
College-green. A nation wills it ! A moral, a faithful,
a persevering nation, wills it ! That nation has every
stimulant;that a people can have to seek a great political
change. There is no escape from insult and injustice
there is no escape from increasing poverty and accumu- •
lating destitution, but in the restoration of our National
Parliament. The people of Ireland abide their time.
They will keep within the law. The repealers will
commit no crime. But, I repeat, they abide their time.
" The wealthier classes in England are in great pros-
perity ; but it is admitted that the population is endur-
ing great privations and accumulated sufferings. How
often do the Irish repeat the proverb, Man's infirmity
is God's opportunity,' and descending to the smaller con-
cerns of this life, the first hour of England's infirmity,
from domestic or foreig,n causes, will assuredly be
last hour of Ireland's servitude. Ireland will then, as
she did in 'B2, pay the price of her liberty to England by
rendering the British Crown secure and triumphant, and
giving additional strength and prosperity to the British •
people. Until then there will be no rela.xa:ion in the
spirit and determination for repeal, and the Irisi; aniver-
sal, cry will continue to be, Hurrah for the repeal.•
" I send you 241. received from Poughkeepsie. Let .
honourable mention be made of it at the Association.
" Yours ever faithfully,
"DANIEL 0 CONNELL.
