AN APPEAL ON BEHALF OF THE PROTESTANT
EPISCOPALIAN IN H ABITANTS OF THE TOWN
OF ST JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND.
fillHE Town of St. John contains above thirteen thousand
souls,—about eight thousand are Roman Catholics, and
fhe remaining five thousand are principally attached to the
Church of .England: The only Protestant Episcopal Church
in St. Johns' accommodates about eight hundred persons; the
Dissenting Congregations may amount to about one thousand;
thus leaving about three thousand Protestants without any ac-
commodation in a place of worship. This evil has been fel
and acknowledged for.yeare. In 182.7, an application was e
to Government to aid the erection of a new Church, ithout
success. Since that time the Protestant populat' has consi-
derably increased: and the present Archd e , the veueiable
Edward Wix, A.M., has, during the last e years, made re-
peated efforts to raise from the inhabitan the requisite funds
for that purpose, but owing in a great degree to their pecuniary
inability he has not succeeded. Two years since the Arch-
deacon visited England, with a view of raising contributions
for the effectuating of this desirable object; but at that time,
in CMlSPquenee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gos-
pelpublic appeal in aid of their
in Foreign Parts making a
funds, he was then dissuaded from pressing this object on the
British public. The evil, however, resulting to the Protestant
iithat,itante, from the want of sufficient Church accommodation,
liae been so apparent, and the spiritual destitution of the poor
in this reapeet has been so keenly felt by the Archdeacon, that
he has on his own responsibility commenced the erection of a
new Church in Sr. John's, depending entirely upon the result
of this appeal to the British people, to enable him to meet the
engagements he has entered into for its completion. The
euildine has . progressed so far, that it is expected that the
Chnrch will he open for divine service on next Easter Sunday;
mid it is confidently hoped that a generous British public, who
are ever ready to minister to the wants of their poorer brethren,
will answer this appeal with liberality.
Two thousand pounds are immediately required for the oh-
iect ; and should a larger swat be contributed, the building will
be enlarged accordingly.
A Comnt;ttee has been formed in Dublin, and Subscriptions
entered into there.
The undermentioned persons have kindly consented to act
as a Committee in Liverpool. by whom, and the following

THE LATE CALAMITOUS FIRE AT HATFIELD
HOUSE.

HATFIELD, MONDAY E YEN ING.—In addition to the particu-
lars which have been already published connected with the de-
structive fire at Hattield House, and the melancholy and fatal
event incidental thereto, the reporter has gleaned the following
facts :
On Monday morning last between fifty and sixty workmen
and labourers. under the direction of Mr. Pemfiertou, the
builder, of Hertford, and superintended by the Reverend Mr.
Faithful and the Rev. Mr. Peel, chaplains to the marquis, and
IDr. Thomas, his lordship's medical attendant, commenced re-
moving the rubbish, for the purpose of extricating any remains
that existed of the body of the late marchioness. Their opera-
tions were chiefly directed to the immediate spot where it was
conjectured the body of the ill-fated marchioness lay buried, and
the most active and strenuous exertions were used to remove the
fragments of the fallen ruins as quickly as possible. The work
proceeded without any discovery being made for several days,
and those who had entertained the most' sanguine hope began
to falter and fall into the same opinion that prevailed throughout
the town of Hatfield, that the body of the marchioness had long
ere this been reduced to the elements. The rubbish excavated
was subjected to a careful examination, being first passed
through the hands of the workmen, and afterwards sifted care-
fully, and then inspected professionally by Dr. Thomas. No-
thing was discovered until about three o'clock on Saturday,
when a considerable portion of the frontal bone of the skull was
discovered. This induced further perseverance in the search,
and the result was, the finding of a portion of the thigh bone;
the vertebral column, and parts of the bones of the ribs. These
remains were found immediately. underneath where the Mar-
chioness Dowager was supposed to have been sitting at the
time the fire originated, and were buried under a mass of rub-
bish of between five and six feet in depth. In a situation un-
derneath the opposite extremity of the apartment was foirail the
remain:: of the lateMurChioness Doiviiger's lapdog, which was iu
the r.aon when the fire broke out, and shared a similar fate to its
mistress. The flesh was entirely burnt off the bones of the animal,
which the fire had partly calcined, leaving it a mutilated skeleton.
A portion of the lower jaw was also found, as likewise a pecu-
barring which the marchioness had invariably wora fur many
years, and which identifies the remains Amongst other parts
of the ruins was discovery the brass casters of a sofa, which
stood in the dowager's dressing-room, and the remains of three
silver candlesticks which were on the table when her ladyship
was reading. They were partly in a fused state. The examin-
ation of the ruins still continues, but up to six o'clock last nikht
no other portions of the buried marchioness was found. The
marquis, on learning that one of the yeomanry, a young man,
named Herse, had been seriously injured in tendering his as-
sistance in extinguishing the fire, humanely sent his steward,
Mr. Martell, to provide every necessary required, and also di-
rected the attendance of Dr. Thomas, the before-mentioned pri-
vate medical attendant of the family.
The marquis and marchioness, mho have, since the occur-
rence of this melancholy catastrophe, suffered much indisposi-
tion, are at present away from Hatfield House. The marquis,
it is stated, has been for several days past on a visit to his Grace
the Duke of Wellington, at his grace's seat, Strathfieldsaye,
but is expected momentarily at Hatfield, an express having
been sent off to apprise his lordship of the finding of the re-
mains of his venerable parent.
The excavation of the ruins will proceed so far as to deter-
mine the discovery, if possible, of what other portions of the
body are still embedded in the rubbish; and when this object
is attained, the inquest will be forthwith held.
The Maiquis of Exeter paid a visit of condolence -yesterday
at Hatfield House, while oti his way to his lordship's family
seat, Burleigh, Northatuptonshire.
Hatfield, half- past six o'clock.—Since writing the above a
considerable portion of the reraains of the late marchioness, in
addition to those above stated, have been discovered, and al-
though the search after the remainder will be prosecuted to-
morrow with all possible activity, yet from the vast mass of the
fragments of the ruins accumulated on that particular spot, the
whole of what remains cannot possibly be got out before the end
of the week, when a communication will be made to the coro-
ner preparatory to the holding of the inquest.

vernment have undergone so much parliamentary discussion, is
