NEW Cii

Yesterday a Meeting was held- at the Privy
Council Office, for the purpose of Opening THE
Commission instituted for the Erection of NEW
CHURCHES It is hardly necessary for us to dwell
a moment upon the laudable object of this Com-
mission, which reflects the highest honour on Go-
vernment; and which, we trust, will he productive
of such beneficial consequences, as will not only
impress a due sense of Religion upon the present
generation, but extend those consequences to the
latest posterity. It is very probable that the want
of sufficient
,accommodation for the members of
the Established Church, has in a great measure
tended th lessen the influence of Religion, and con-
sequently led to a relaxation in the moral principles
and habits of the people, or, at best, to the preva-
lence of sectarian doctrines, and all the excesses of
fanaticism. We hope, now that the Commission
has. been opened, and all ►he preliminary forms
passed through, that no time will be lost in carrying
its meritorious purpose into effect. Our National
Religion is well known to be the purest on
earth, and not only the moral character of the
people, but the security of the Government, may
depend on due opportunities for the exercise of
our Established Faith. Ministers, therefore, can-
not be too warmly praised for the zeal with which
they adopted a measure so well calculated to pro-
mote the best interests of society, and it may
be fairly recorded of them, that by a wise and firm
perseverance in support of a sound politiCal system,
they not only preserved our Country, anti rescued'
Europe, but,have laid the foundation for our eter-
nal happiness. The following is the list of the
distinguished persons who have been appointed
to regulate and superintend the execution of these
highly meritorious and essential purposes :
