tion given to the young Vaudois, by placing all the schools under the same superintendence, and by regulating the course of study pursued in each, so as to accord with, and be preparatory to, the system adopted in the college. Through the active and generous assistance of Colonel Beckwith, a member of the committee, the schools have been supplied with grammars, treatises of arithmetic, and translations of Scripture in the dialect of the country; and many commodious school-houses now adorn the three Protestant valleys of Piedmont, as monuments of his benevolent and judicious exertions. An institution of a superior kind, for the better training of the daughters of the Vaudois pastors and others, has also been established by this indefatigable benefactor, and has given a further stimulus to education. As a witness of the purity and uniformity of their faith and worship, and as a safeguard against error, the Vaudois clergy, who for many years past had used the Swiss rituals, have lately compiled a formulary of public prayer, which is now in print, and is used in all their churches, by order of the synod, under the title, "La Liturgie Vaudoise" (the Waldensian Liturgy). By these means the Vaudois are exhibiting their institutions as objects of respect and imitation, not only to the Protestant Churches of the Continent, but also to their Roman Catholic neighbours; and the measures gradually adopted for their amelioration have a tendency to secure a better understanding between themselves and those persons who may hitherto have regarded them with feelings of unkindness or suspicion. His majesty Charles Albert, the present king of Sardinia, has extended his protection to his Vaudois subjects on many occasions; and the committee entertain an humble hope, that the Divine blessing will still be vouchsafed, and will incline the hearts of rulers and of private individuals towards a religious community,

CASHEL.

whose preservation forms an interesting subject in the history of the Church. But in the course of last year they have had serious cause of alarm. A new code of laws came into operation in the Sardinian states on the 1st of January, 1838, which, if it be carried out to its full extent, will be fatal to the religious and civil liberties of the Waldenses. A representation of the fears entertained by them was made by the secretary of the committee to her majesty's secretary of state for foreign affairs; and assurances have been received, that the British government will not lose sight of it, but will continue to exercise that mediation, in behalf of the Waldenses, with the Sardinian government, which it is entitled to interpose, by virtue of ancient and acknowledged treaties.

In a note to the report it is stated, that since it was drawn up, a synod of the Waldensian Church has been held, on the 23d, 24th, and 25th of April, 1839. The following were among the declarations and acts of this venerable assembly:

That

"The Waldensian Church declares the confession of faith published in the Valleys, in the year 1655, to be a true and pure summary and interpretation of the fundamental doctrines of the Bible, and that by this confession of faith the religious instruction and the public worship of the Waldensian Church are to be regulated. none can undertake the cure of souls, or exercise the pastoral functions in the Waldensian Church, but those who have received ordination in the Valleys. Candidates for holy orders must sign the confession of faith, and make a public declaration that they will teach and preach conformably with its doctrines, before they can be ordained. The form of ordination must be that contained in the Waldensian Liturgy."

Diocesan Entelligence: England and Freland.

The bishop held a visitation on July 20. In the course of his charge, his lordship thus spoke with reference to the divinity-hall proposed by the Archbp. of Dublin :

"I am of opinion that diocesan divinity-halls would soon supersede an university-education of candidates for the ministry of the Gospel; that the separation during the college-course of those candidates from other gentlemen, would be injurious, not only to both, but to the civil and religious interests of their common country; that such halls would be under the management of incompetent persons, selected not for their attainments and qualifications, but as favourites, to whom episcopal incomes would be transferred. I am of opinion that those halls would be nurseries of ignorance, of schism, and of intolerance. The establishment of such a hall would be, in Dublin, peculiarly superfluous and inexpedient, because there is in Trinity College, Dublin, a divinity-school of incomparable excellence; and because in no other parts of Dublin could candidates for the ministry of the Gospel be so commodiously lodged as within the walls of Trinity College, and such accommodation would be afforded them, and they would be most welcome and cherished inmates in the college. But were it admitted that the divinity-school of Trinity College wants improvement, surely the remedy would be, the improvement of that school which supplies so many ministers of the Gospel, not only to Ireland, but to England. Surely it would be more wise to purify and replenish the fountain which pours so many streams into the vineyard of the Lord, than to confine attention to one of those streams." In the evening the clergy met, and passed a resolution condemnatory of the proposed divinity-hall.Standard.

KILDARE.

It gives us much satisfaction, says the Dublin Evening Mail, to inform our readers that the clergy of the diocese of Kildare, almost without a dissentient voice, have protested against the college.

RIPON.

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners have directed 10,000Z. to be appropriated from the funds at their disposal for the erection of an episcopal residence for the bishop.

The bishop has addressed a pastoral letter to the clergy of the diocese, directing that an annual sermon should be preached in behalf of the Ripon Diocesan Church-Building Society in every church and chapel within the diocese.

SODOR AND MAN.

To those who felt adverse to the proposal, that this see should be merged in that of Carlisle, it will be peculiarly interesting to know, that on July 16 a public meeting took place in the Court-house, at Castletown, for the purpose of forming a Diocesan Association for the promotion of the interests of religion in the island, by the supply of salaries for clergymen, the building of houses of residence for them, and additional places of worship in connexion with the Established Church. The meeting was numerously and

respectably attended. His excellency the lieutenant-governor took the chair, supported on the right by the bishop, and on the left by Deemster Christian and the clerk of the rolls. Appropriate prayers having been offered up by the Rev. Mr. Parsons, the lieut.-governor explained shortly the cause of the meeting, and expressed his gratification at seeing so excellent an attendance, and the pleasure he felt in presiding upon so interesting an occasion. Resolutions, among others, were proposed or seconded by the bishop, Rev. A. Phillips, Rev. H. Calthorpe, &c. With reference to this interesting meeting, the Manx Sun thus expresses itself:-"We are truly and heartily glad to learn that so satisfactory a demonstration of attachment to the Church has just taken place at the public diocesan meeting at Castletown; for we thoroughly believe that the comfort and happiness of this island, as well as the best interests of the British empire, are necessarily bound up with the stability of the Established Church. It would be a woful day for all classes of persons whenever she might be impaired; for the same power that could affect her, would introduce universal anarchy and confusion, and we should inevitably fall a prey to violent designs aggravated by all the rancorous contention of religious discord. The lord bishop was particularly luminous and candid in his statements; and the Rev. C. Fisk's eloquence, together with that of the other able speakers, deeply gratified the full and highly respectable assemblage: and the amount of the annual subscriptions and donations do high credit to the religion, the loyalty, and the discernment of those who have come forward in such a substantial manner. We call now upon

Douglas to do her duty, and doubt not for a moment of complete success."

WINCHESTER.

Camberwell.-National Education.-Three schools in connexion with the National Society are about to be builtone in the district of East Dulwich, a second in the district of St. George's, and another near the church lately built by Mrs. Hyndman's trustees. These schools, it is hoped, will contain and educate 1,000 children in the principles of the established Church, in addition to those already in course of instruction in the five Church-ofEngland schools already established in the parish. The schools in the district of St. George's will be commenced speedily, and we believe the sum of 1,2001. has been already subscribed towards the laudable object. That in the new district of Mrs. Hyndman's church will also, it is hoped, progress without delay, as a considerable sum has been already collected. In both cases it is just to say, that the exertions of the clergymen of the respective districts, the Rev. S. Smith and the Rev. Mr. Burton, have been indefatigable, and their personal pecuniary sacrifices very great. On the 10th inst., the first stone of the proposed East Dulwich and Peckham Rye school was laid by the Rev. M. Anderson, in the presence of a large and most respectable assembly. The ground, which cost 4501., was purchased by nine gentlemen in the district. The sum required for the building was stated to be about 5007., and we are happy to say that the whole sum has been subscribed.-Times.

COLONIAL CHURCH.

Rev. W. H. Harte.-A clergyman leaves our shores for England to-day whose ministerial zeal and ardour in the cause of Christianity, and especially in promoting the instruction of the most ignorant, and in administering to the spiritual necessities of the poor, has never been surpassed. Mr. Harte's "labour of love" has been indeed great during a long life of ministerial duty. His friends lament to find him now so debilitated from his faithful discharge of his most onerous duties as to be obliged to quit the flock over which he has presided for nearly seven years, whose spiritual welfare he has so ardently laboured to promote, and embark for England in pursuit of health. The congregation of St. Mary's chapel, though not with

out a trust that the highly respected ministers appointed to take the charge of St. Mary's will ably and zealously perform their high and holy duties, will naturally deplore the loss of their pastor, whose faithful exposition of Scripture-doctrine, and whose ability in “rightly dividing the word of truth," can never be remembered but with gratitude. Mr. Harte was "instant in season, and out of season," always at the post of duty, and ready, like the great apostle of the Gentiles," to spend and be spent" for Christ. Our best wishes, and those of many others, who have listened with delight to his most instructive and enlightening discourses, attend the reverend gentleman for improved health, and all other blessings -Bar badian of May 29.

NOVA SCOTIA.

The Colonial Church Society have engaged Mr. C. Richardson to examine into the deficiency of religious instruction prevailing extensively in Nova Scotia, with the view of instituting schools in connexion with that society in those places which may seem most to require them. The clergy of the province, together with the ministers of different denominations, are too few in number for the wants of the people where the country is most thickly settled, while in the remote rural and maritime districts the inhabitants have scarcely any religious instruction. It is hoped that the establishment of day and Sunday schools, under judicious and pious management, may be of material advantage. Mr. Richardson has been selected by the Colonial Church Society to carry into effect this important object. He has had much experience in conducting schools among the humbler classes in this country upon the principles of the established Church, which are those on which the operations of the Colonial Church Society are conducted, and is peculiarly fitted, by his habits of intercourse with the poor, his experience in teaching, his disposition and religious character, for the sphere of duty assigned him.-British Gazette.

AUSTRALIA.

Ordination. The impressive ceremony of ordaining to the holy office of priesthood according to the rites of the Church of England, took place in St. James's Church, on Sunday last. After the liturgy had been read by the Rev. G. N. Wood, M.A., the bishop preached on the duties of members of the ministry towards the people, and the people towards the ministers, taking his text from Col. iv. 17: "Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it." After the sermon he proceeded to the altar, and having taken his seat, the Rev. Mr. Woodd presented J. Troughton, late of St. Bees College, but now of Paramatta, as a candidate for the office of deacon, and answered the usual inquiries respecting the qualifications of the candidate. The rev. gentleman then introduced the Rev. E. Rogers, of Brisbane Water, deacon; the Rev. E. Smith, B.A., late of Magd. Hall, Oxford, now of Queanbeyan, deacon; and the Rev. H. D. D. Sparling, B.A., late of Pemb. Coll., Oxford, now of Appin, deacon, as candidates for the holy office of priesthood, and certified that he had examined them, and believed them to be fully qualified for the office. The candidates then underwent the usual examination; and having answered the prescribed questions, his lordship appointed Mr. Troughton a deacon, and then proceeded to the ordination of the other candidates; being assisted in the imposition of hands by the Rev. Messrs. Woodd, Forrest, master of the King's School Paramatta, and a recently arrived minister, who is officiating at Kissing Point during the illness of the Rev. Mr. Dickinson. After the ordination, the sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered.-Sidney Gazette, Feb. 27, 1839.

NEW ZEALAND.

[ocr errors]

Episcopal Church in New Zealand.-At a late meeting of intended colonists, and others interested in establishing a branch of the Church of England in New Zealand, held at the offices of the New Zealand Land Company,— J. J. Briscoe, Esq., M.P., in the chair, the following resolutions were passed unanimously:-1. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, having consented to grant a salary of 1007. per annum for three years, together with a grant for outfit, to any well-qualified clergyman who shall be willing to undertake the duty of chaplain to the colony which is about proceeding to New Zealand,-resolved, that this liberality on the part of the society be met by a corresponding measure on the part of the friends of the colony and the emigrants. 2. That 2001. per annum be guaranteed to the clergyman, in addition to the salary allowed by the society. 3. That a house and glebe be provided for the clergyman for the time being. 4. That every exertion be made to complete the subscriptions subscribed for building the church. 5. That the foregoing resolutions be published, for the information of those clergymen of the Church of England who may be disposed to become candidates for the appointment.

Church Mission: New Zealand. During the recent visitation of the Church-missionary establishments in New Zealand, the Bishop of Australia found abundant proofs of the progress which Christianity is making among the native inhabitants in the Bay of Islands, in the river Thames, and in other stations depending upon those missionary stations. In the administration of the rite of baptism the missionaries are cautious, it might almost be termed scrupulous, in putting to sufficient proof the faith and stedfastness of professed converts to Christianity. Nevertheless, the numbers baptised are very considerable, and there are at the different stations upwards of 200 expectants, to whom the ordinance will, with all becoming carefulness, be shortly extended. A translation of the entire New Testament in the native language has been completed, and 5000 copies printed at the mission-press. These are gradually getting into circulation among the natives, by whom they are highly prized. The number of those who can read is very considerable; and the bishop had his admiration called forth at every station, not only by witnessing the assiduity and accuracy with which the sacred volume was read, but by finding that the readers did also "mark, learn, and inwardly digest" the sense of the text. This was evident from the facility with which these heretofore aliens from the household of God were enabled to refer to parallel passages illustrative of that upon which they were engaged; and their aptitude in this exercise was so great as to shew that it proceeded not from any mere mechanical drilling, but was the result of a comprehensive acquaintance with the book, accompanied by reflection upon their true import and mutual relation. They possess also the Catechism and many parts of the Liturgy in their own tongue. During the bishop's residence at Paihia, forty of the most advanced and approved among the converts were recommended to his lordship by the officiating clergymen as qualified for confirmation; which being found to be the case after due examination, they received confirmation according to the form of the Church of England, together with twenty of European parentage, on Saturday, the 5th of January. The order of confirmation had been previously translated into the New Zealand language, and a sufficient number of copies printed at the mission-press to admit of each of the natives receiving one. The bishop had profited by his short stay so far as to make himself sufficiently acquainted with the language to be able to deliver the preliminary prayer and the form of confirmation in a language which the receiver of the ordinance understood, and not in an unknown tongue; so that he was in no wise "a barbarian unto them, or they to him." On Sunday, the 6th of January, being the day of the Epiphany or manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, the bishop, assisted by the Rev. Presbyters, W. Williams, H. Williams, and Maunsell, conferred the order of priesthood on the Rev. O. Hadfield, late scholar of Pembroke College, Oxford. The burial-ground at Paihia and that at Kororarika were also formally consecrated. The latter portion of ground was not many years ago the actual scene of a bloody conflict between two hostile tribes, many of the members of which are now numbered among the followers of Christ, and will sleep together in him, in hopes of a joyful resurrection upon that very spot which, in the days of their blindness and hardness of heart, they polluted with each other's blood. One only drawback upon the general gratification afforded by these scenes arose from the violence of the attack of influenza, under which the entire population, native and European, was then suffering. The disorder was in every respect identical with that which raged so fatally in this colony during the last and preceding months; and so universal was the prevalence of the contagion, that it may be safely questioned whether one individual in fifty escaped it. Upon the natives in particular the effect was most distressing, as, in consequence of the very poor and insufficient diet upon which they subsist, there is not energy or strength in their constitutions to enable them to throw off the effects of this insidious malady. The foundation is thus laid for disorders of the chest and lungs, which occasion long-protracted suffering to these poor people, and, unless checked by the instant application of proper remedies, will lay a very fearful proportion of their numbers in untimely

graves. The surgeon of the Pelorus, at the bishop's request, very promptly and humanely visited them at places too far from Paihia to receive the benefit of attendance from the medical men attached to the missionary establishment; and on their united recommendation, his lordship obtained, by permission of Captain Harding, such of the surplus stores of the Pelorus as could be spared for distribution, under an engagement to replace an equal quantity on the vessel's arrival in Port Jackson. But this supply, however timely and providential, was quite insufficient to meet the necessities of the sick and convalescent. Much more is yet required; and it will be an act of true and becoming Christian charity that due exertion should be made to forward as promptly as possible such further stores of nutritious food, with medicines, medical comforts, and warm apparel, as may recruit the strength of those who have been enfeebled by disease, and secure them against the danger of a relapse from exposure to the air without proper clothing. It is satisfactory to learn, that the best possible disposition prevails in Sydney, and wherever the urgency of the case has been made known, to contribute towards a fund for carrying this humane purpose into effect; and we are happy to observe from an advertisement, that it is the intention of the Lord Bishop of Australia to preach a sermon at St. James's, on Sunday, the 10th of February, in recommendation of this act of charity, towards which a collection will afterwards be made. There can be no doubt that this timely appeal will be met by a liberal contribution from all who enjoy

the means of doing good, and entertain a due sense of the obligations incumbent on all Christians to provide for the sick and needy; and to do good unto all men, especially them that are of the household of faith.-Correspondent of the Sydney Gazette.-(From the Colonial Record.)

The New Episcopal Sees in the Colonies.-On Sunday, Aug. 4, the Ven. John Strachan, D.D., Archdn. of York, Upper Canada, and the Ven. A. G. Spencer, D.D., Archdeacon of Bermuda, were consecrated bishops of Toronto and Newfoundland respectively. The solemn ordinance of the Church was administered by the Abp. of Canterbury, assisted by the Bishops of London, Chichester, and Nova Scotia. The new see of Newfoundland is, perhaps, the most spiritually destitute portion of the colonial Church. There are, indeed, forty churches in the island, but only nine clergymen to serve them. Under these painful circumstances, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has decided upon appointing four additional missionaries, and to allow to each a salary of 2001. a-year, with 100% for passage and outfit. The bishop has already selected two; and if any clergyman, who can produce testimonials of his qualifications for so arduous and responsible a duty, should be willing to offer himself for the service of the Church in Newfoundland, the society would be ready to present him to the bishop for his lordship's approval.➡ British Gazette.

Miscellaneous.

Petitions on the Educational Question.-A foolish paragraph has been going the round of the papers, professing to give the number of petitions and of signatures, and asserting the greatest number to have been on the subject of the corn-laws and of the penny-postage. The fabricator doubtless had his own reasons for omitting all mention of the education-question, which, in fact, takes quite the lead of all other subjects in the reports on public petitions. The number of petitions and of signatures on this subject during the present session have been as follows:
