English papers report that Archbishop
Manning has ordered that there shall be no
more choir singing in any of the churches in
his diocese after Easter. The service in fu-
ture is to be Gregoriau, chanted by the

REV. s. Fl. Tying, Jr., since submitting to
the admonition of Bishop Potter, has written
a letter to the Bishop, in which he says that
having now suffered all that the ecclesiastical
authorities have desired to infiict, he does now
affirm without fear of disproval, that from
the beginning to the end of his trial he has
neither in his pulpit before the public, nor
through the press, argued, still less agtated
the issues involved. He would, however, be
false to himself both as a man and presbyter
if be did not take some notice of the ignomini-
GUS ceremony to which he has been subjected,
and he proposes, as soon as his Lenten engage
ments permit, to present q full and frank re-
view of the whole proceedings. He tells the
Bishop: "The. Church which you chose as the
scene, the presence of the city police, the cler-
gywhom you selected as witnesses, the religious
services whichintroduced and completed the ex-
e'cises, your positive and rude refusal to re-
ceive the protest of my venerable and Iever-
end counsel and father-all these were adapt-
ed, ifnot intended, to aggravate the attempted
disgrace" And he adds: Il desire now, and
in full consciousness Of the responsibilities
which it may entail, solemnly to protest
against the whole course, conduct, and con-
clusion of the Ecclesiastical trial in which I
HGye appeared as respondent. hold it to
have been equally opposed to the principles of
the common law, the canons of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and the doctrine and disci-
pine Of Christ as this church hath received
the same. l absolutely deny its regularity
and renounce its authority. From its unjust
presentment, oppressive rulings, predetermin-
ed decision and insinuatiug censure appeal
to the general Judgment of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, to the impartial review of
tho other Christian churches OF this land, to
the word of the living God and to Jesus, the
chief shepherd and bishop of us ALP
