Addresses presented by the clergy of the deanery of Hawkesbury in the dioceses of Gloucester and Bristol to the Queen and to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The former solicits the sanction of the introduction of a Bill for the preservation of the sees of North Wales. The latter points out that the measure for the union of the sees is disapproved of by a large majority of the bishops and the Church at large, that the Universities have repeatedly and unanimously protested against it, and that the Church in Convocation has declined to acknowledge the Commission from which the proposal emanated. The petitioners cannot but feel the cruel injustice of abstracting a large revenue from the poor districts of North Wales and conveying it to one of the wealthiest parts of England. And this plain injustice has not even the plea of necessity because the Ecclesiastical Commission already has ample means to endow the intended bishopric of Manchester. The Church of Christ will suffer most grievously from the absence of sufficient bishops to bring the episcopal influence home to every parish. The question of a seat in the House of Lords for the bishop of the new see cannot be set in the balance against the sacred interests involved in this question. Copies.

Their vigilant friend and countryman, Kenyon, sent him a blank proxy, which he returned yesterday. He is anxious to be present at the discussion and to support his lordship by every means in his power for he considers the question to be one of vital importance. Moreover, he considers the Commission and its acts and its powers to be a national nuisance which has been and can only be productive of grievous injury to the Church and the State. What has been gained by the suppression of bishoprics in Ireland and England? 'Nothing but loss, and what must be thought in High Heaven of our proceedings here below, when on the altar of a worthless, senseless, and wicked expediency, we sacrifice even the cause of Religion itself.' His lordship, however, is fighting a good fight. He shrinks from appearing in the House of Lords. Besides, he has been by no means well. He ought to have reported to his lordship the exceedingly gratifying account of the examination of his lordship's son at Eton, particularly in Divinity.
