To TIE EDITOR OF THE HEIALD:-
There was In tho HERALD of the 18th instant a re-
port OF lecture or essay by Rev. 0. d. Frothing-
ham on Mazzini and Morse, In which the two men
or their characters were compared. In this lecture
Mr. rockingham contradicts himself twice most
emphatcally
This seems very slovenly careless in a writer
who has plenty Of leisure. We could make more
excuse for devout preacher OF Christian sermon
who, speaking extemporaneOusly, might be carried
Off by his pious ervor and straggle little from the
path he intended to follow.
He Cdr. rockingham, first makes the distinction
between the two men-that Morse was man OF
work or action Il mechanc) MaZzn a man Of
ideas. He says also that Morse was an artist, and
not mean one. Further he says that Morse after

These two men were in different fields OF action,
but although MaZzini died without the qualification
OF realizing his hopes the world does not suffer

his idea Since Mr.. Frothngham will have comparl-

loss. And yet Mr.. rockingham calls Morse me-

Holland, when he dedicated o certain poem OF his
'Ihe work OF his hands,"
In speaking OF Mazzini Mr.. rockingham says he
was too elevated to have recourse to certain infe-

he belonged to all the secret societies and asso

Conservation OF Bishop in the Prot
estant Church In Irolnnd-Plan OF
Amendment OF the Rubric OF the Eng
Hsh Form.
His Grace the Archbishop OF Dublin presided over
meeting of the General Synod Of the Irish Branch
OF the Protestant Church in Dublin, few days
SINCE assisting in the reorganization Of the estab-
Ilshment since ts being disconnected from the State
Church Of England by Parliamentary legislation.
The House had under consideration the bill to
amend '.the form Of ordainlng or consecrating an
Archbishop or Bishop" The Archbishop or Dublin
mentioned that the Archbishop OF Meath wanted to
introduce an urgent measure with reference TO the
conservation OF an archbishop or bishop. to remove
certain matters which were not required since the
passing OF the Irish Church act.
Archdeacon Stopford said that the bill was one

point of doctrine, nor upon anything that required
n s oy 10
what was rendered a matter OF absolute necessity
by the passing OF the Irish Church act There must
be some Official document to enable the Archbishop
to proceed. Heretofore the Queens letter was re-
qulred.
Archdeacon stopford said 1t was necessary that
legislation should be clear and distinct even sup.
posing the bill was not an actual necessity sir
Joseph Napier's argument applied TO all alterations
In the liturgy which had been rendered necessary
by the passing Of the Irish act pse WeIe
w
the state prayers changes were necesstated by the
act. and yet In these there prevailed the utmost
possible variance to the practice OF what changes
ought to be made. He, therefore, thought IL highly
desirable that ail things should be done regularly

he thought II should be defined by the authority OF
the Synod Therefore he asked leave to bring In the
