UNION OF THE DIOCESES OF ST. ASAPH AND BAN.
cox.—A meeting of the nobility, gentry, clergy, free-
holders. and the inhabitants of the county of Flint, con-
vened upon requisition, by the High Sheriff, Sir Richard
Puleston, Bart., was held in the County Hall, Mold, at
noon on Thursday last, " for the purpose of petitioning
the legislature for a repeal of that part of the act passed
in the 6th and 7th years of the reign of his late Majesty
William the Fourth, providing for the union of the sees
of St Asaph and Bangor." The meeting was very nu-
merously attended. The High Sheriff presided; and the
meeting was addressed by Mr. J. Wynne Eyton, Mr. E.
Pemberton, Mr. R. J. Moystn, Dr. Richardson, Arch-
deacon Clough, the Rev. Lloyd Wynne, and several others.;
after which a petition was unanimously adopted for pre-.
sentation to the Houses of Parliament. This document
expressed the deep sorrow and continued alarm with
which the meeting regarded the act of Parliament by
which the ancient sees of St. Asaph and Bangor were Co
be united in one diocese ; that in consequence of the ex-
tent of the two dioceses, the impediments to communica-
tion between the bishop and his clergy, and the actual
amount and rapid increase of population in North Wales
requiring additional churches anda greater number of
ministers, and the peculiar circumstances of the church
at the present time, which demanded a closer and more
vigilant superintendence, the petitioners considered the
proposed union as highly injurious, and calculated to im-
pair the efficiency and lower the dignity of the established
church in the northern part of the principality : that the
established church had been, from time immemorial en-
dowed by the piety of our forefathers with funds so-
lemny dedicated to the maintenance and diffusion of re-
ligious instruction in North Wales, and it was inconsist-
ent with the interests of religion and the demands of
justice to divert those funds for the benefit of other and
more opulent districts : that it was admitted that the
episcopal revenues, now unappropriated, in the hands of
the ecclesiastical commissioners were sufficient to form
an immediate provision for the bishopric of Manchester,
without resorting to the destruction of an ancient see, and
therefore there was no reason for delaying the appoint-
ment of a bishop to that populous district : that it was
a great inconsistency to lessen the number of Bishops in
North Wales, whilst the importance of the episcopal
office was admitted in the establishment of new sees in
our colonies ; that the church in North Wales possessed
no overplus funds available for the benefit of remote
districts, and that all the income which could be obtained
from its ecclesiastical revenues, consistently with the pre-
servation
required
to of
augment o u present
the eppoiosrceorp institutions,lailvings and

ministers of those churches which had been recently
erected, or which might hereafter be erected in that part
of the country. The petition closed with praying for a
reveal of the obnoxious act ; and, further, that provision

stance, be appropriated to supply the spiritual wants of
the parishes from whence they arose, and, secondly, to
the augmentation of the poorer benefices and the endow-
ment of new churches in North Wales.—A memorial was
also adopted to the Archbishop of Canterbury, requesting
his active interference to obtain a repeal of the act in
question. The usual thanks were then voted to the High
Sheriff for his conduct in the chair, and the proceedings
terminated.

TUE COURT.—We understand that arrangements have
been made for the court to leave town about Wednesday
or Thursday (the 3d or 4th proximo,) for Windsor Castle,
and that her Majesty will return to Buckingham Palace
about the 14th or 16th.
This day, (Tuesday,) his Royal Highness Prince George
of Cambridge will complete his 25th year.
It is calculated that by the new arrangements that are
taking place in the Queen's household, there will be an
annual saving of not less than £2s,ooo.—Court Journal.
