DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER.
Considerable dissatisfaction has existed amongst the
parishioners of Shoreham, near Brighton, with respect
to the reply of the Bishop of Chichester to their memo
rial, complaining of innovations in the performance of
Divine service, which have driven most of the families
from the parish church. Several meetings have recently
been held, and Mr. Thomas Clayton, the Churchwarden,
has been instructed to transmit to the Bishop the follow-

ing letter :
"TO THE LORD BISHOP OF CHICHESTER.
" New Shoreham, Aug. 30, 1845.
"My Lord,—The pains and trouble your Lordship
has taken to favour us with a full exposition of your
sentiments on subjects connected with the present un-
happy movement in Shoreham, demand our warmest
thanks 'and most respectful acknowledgments. Your
Lordship has viewe 1 the question in its widest bearings
—in bearings perhaps too wide for the full comprehen-
sion of persons of scanty reading and ts flection like our-
selves. We, of course, must confine our remarks, as we
have chiefly confined our atietrion, to those parts of
your Lordship's letter which are especially designed to
apply to our own case.
"In the first place we should state that we highly
value your Lordship's clear and forcible enunciation of
the great essential doctrines of Christianity ; we hail
that enunciation as a sure token that our diocesan him-
self holds as true and essential those very doctrines in
behalf of which we are making a stand, and in conse
quence of the withholding of which by our present
incumbent, we are beseeching your Lordship's interpo-
sition. Had Mr. Wheeler preached to us fully and
heartily the doctrines of the atonement of justification
by faith only, of the depravity of human nature, and of
our sanctification by the Holy Spirit, his assumption of
party badges, and introduction of party ceremonies and
externals, would have been regretted certainly, but
never resisted. It was just because the Tractarian cos-
tume and Tractarian observances were intended to be
visible symbols of Traßteriae doctrine, that the surplice
in the pulpit, the reading of the prayer for the church
militant after the sermon, and the withholding of the
blessing from non-communicants, were regarded as mat-
tars of offence.
" By your Lordship's quotation against strife and vain
glory, it seems that your. Lordship's mind is impressed
with the idea that we are influenced by unworthy
motives in raising our protest against Mr. Wheeler's
preaching and general ministrations. We should, in-
deed, deserve the imputation of being vainglorious
were we to arrogate to ourselves perfect purity of
motive, knowing how much of evil there is in our best
actions and very best intentions ; yet we can sincerely
say that we are not dividing against Mr. Wheeler for
division's sake, but because we very strongly feel that
the doctrines he preaches assimilate to those of Rome;
and we beg to suggest to your Lordship, in confirmation
of this disclaimer, that during the incumbence of our late
beloved vicar (the Rev. Mr. Biddulph), we attended our
parish church with a grateful enjoyment of his services,
and the very idea of division had never been contemplated
by any of us. So slow, indeed, were we to set ourselves in
opposition to our appointed pastor, that we succumbed in
silence to many startling innovations, introduced without
notice or a single word of conciliation ; we listened for
manyen on ths to doctrines of a very equivocal character, cer-
tainly at variance with those we had been previously
taught, and it was not until we knew that Mr. Wheeler
was drawing from our silence and non-resistance
the unwarranted interference that we approved of his
doctrines and reposed confidence in his pastoral guidance,
that we took any overt step either to state our grievances
or to seek their redress. That your Lordship should
suppose that we are protesting on slight grounds, or
from personal pique, or from an affectation of singula-
rity or display, is what we most devoutly deprecate.
We are bona
.fide churchmen, and lovers of our Church.
We love her liturgy, her articles, and her homilies. We
love our Church as ordained of God to be the chief
casket containing the pearl of great price; but we love the
pearl better than the casket, tied we cannot—we dare
not—be content with the casket without the pearl.
" We again humbly and respectfully ask your Lord-
ship what course we are to follow. We have till lately
for many years been taught those very doctrines which
your Lordship has singled out as the distinctive doc-
trines of the Gospel ; but they now no longer form the
spiritual sustenance of the' congregation of New Shore-
ham. Are we to unlearn the doctrines of grace, and to
embrace in their stead the doctrines of works and ob-
servances ? Having begun in the spirit, are we now to
be made perfect by the flesh ? If it be our duty to re-
ceive the instructions of Mr. Wheeler, was it not equally
at least our duty to receive and believe those given us
during the incumbency of Mr. Biddulph ? If they are
irreconcilably at variance, are we, with an unreasoning
and unintelligent faith to believe them both, or to believe
firs: one and then the other ? Surely, we cannot be ex-
pected to' change our opinions upon the most important
of all subjects ,as often as the preferment of Maglalen
College changes hands. Your Lordship would not have
us to be so tossed about with every wind of doctrine.
" With the utmost deference, therefore, we ask your
Lordship what course we are to follow ? Whence are
we to get instruction for ourselves, our children, and our
servants in those grand doctrines which your Lordship's
letter stamps as the essentials of Christianity ? That
we should seek instructiou in these doctrines from the
lips of one who, if he does not formally deny them, yet,
practically, supersedes them by unedifying discussions
on subjects foreign to our spiritual improvement, and
repugnant to our feelings and sympathies, is utterly out
of the question. We do not call upon your Lordship to
condemn Mr. Wheeler's doctrines on our vague and
general charges against them, but we will be content to
rest the justice of our complaints of your Lordship's
judgment on any half- dozen sermons preached by Mr.
Wheeler consecutively in the parish church of New
Shoreham within the three months preceding the date of
our memorial. We do entreat your Lordship to test
our claims to redress by a personal examination of Mr.
Wheeler's sermons. They are written documents, and
are, therefore, produceable.
" When your' Lordship shall have satisfied yourself
that our complaints are well founded, it will be clearly
apparent that, in accepting the teaching of Mr. Wheeler,
we should be euilty of an act of apostacy, detrimental in
the highest degree to our present peace of mind, and
fatally ruinous in its ultimate consequences.
" We, therefore, most earnestly beseech your Lordship
to' prevail oh, or, if persuasion fail, to direct Mr. Wheeler
either to retire altogether from the New Shoreham living,
or to appoint a curate whose sentiments are in unison
with our own, and in consonance with the teaching of
those 'who once laboured amongst us ; and we have
finally to express our resolve not to return to our parish
church until such arrangement is effected.
" Waiting with much anxiety your Lordship's further
counsel, we have the honour to be, your Lordships most
obedient-and humble memorialists and servants,
(Signed) " THOS. CLAYTON, Churchwarden,
on behalf of the Parishioners."

[ADVERTISRMENT.]—CURE FOR DROPSY BY HOL-
LOWAY'S PILLS AND 'OirrescrtT.--Captain James Eyre, of
the Company's service, residing. at Boulogne, had been tapped
thrice within seven months,' twelve quarts of water were taken
from him each tittle; notwithstanding which operations he was
about falling avictim to this terrible complaint, when he com-
menced the rubbing in of Holloway's invaluable Ointment,
and as effectually as salt is forced, into meat—besides this, he
took lirge doses of his wonderful Pills, which in nine weeks
effected so eitruordivaria 'cure; as to enable him since to walk
twenty-five miles in one day. Any unnatural swellings of the
body are effectually cured by these celebrated medicines. Sold
