ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH, LEEDS.--In consequence of
some perversions to Rome in this church, the vicar of that
church, and the Rev. R. Ward, and the curate (Rev. Mr.
Case), have both resigned, after communications from the
Bishop of Ripon. A number of members of the cong,re-
"- •

gation in consequence addressed the Bishop, expressing
their love and respect for the vicar, and assuring his lord-
ship that Mr. Ward never by his teaching endeavoured to
induce them to join the Roman Communion, or to shake
their confidence in the Church of England. The Bishop
makes a kindly reply, stating that Mr. Ward "is fully
conscious that he has weakly yielded to the sinister influ-
ence of others, and has, in some instances, consented to
act in direct contravention of the spirit of my sulmnnitinns
