my sense of duty, any longer sanction the proceedings of the Society, or continue even its nominal Patron.

Being in a weak state of health, and overwhelmed with business, I need scarcely add, that I mean not to enter into any discussion on the subject.-I have the honour to be, your faithful servant,

(Signed) W. ARMAGH, To Rev. Dr. Sadleir, Sec. of the Hibernian Bible Society.

Letter from the Rev. Dr. Sadleir to his Grace the Lord Primate.

Dublin, July 19, 1821.

My Lord, I am directed by the Committee of the Hibernian Bible Society, to convey to your Grace their regret at the determination you have expressed to relinquish the office of Patron of their Society.

In compliance with your Grace's wish,

that discussion should be avoided, the Committee will only state, that on the most mature deliberation, they are fully satisfied that no change has been introduced into the constitution of the Society since its original formation; and beg leave to add, that had your Grace been pleased to intimate the circumstances which made it apparent to you that such chauge had taken place, the Committee would on the present, as on a former occasion, have given the subject the most respectful consideration, and cheerfully and thankfully availed themselves of your suggestions. The Committee cannot conclude without expressing their further regret, that your Grace should conceive that at the public meetings of the Society, observations might be made injurious to the Established Church and offensive to its members, as they are perfectly conscious that nothing of this kind ever took place, nor from the arrangement of those meetings could possibly have occurred without instant animad

St. Peter's, was consecrated. · The cese mony began by the Lord Bishop receiving (from some of those who signed their names) the Petition of Consecration, at the principal entrance. The Bishop and the Clergy then retired to the vestry, and soon again made their appearance, the Bishop taking the lead, and his Lordship and the Clergy proceeded slowly along the body of the Church, reciting alternately the 24th Psalm. When the Bishop was arrived within the rails of the altar, the deeds of donation to Trustees of the Church and the burying ground on the South Esplanade being presented by the Chief Secretary on the part of the Government, his Lordship commenced the prayers of dedication and consecration, after which he handed to the Archdeacon, who acted as Chancellor, the decree of consecration, which he read aloud.

Morning prayers then commenced by the officiating Minister, but during the prayers and Communion service, the Bishop offered up occasional prayers. An excellent Sermon was then delivered by the Rev. Mr. Hawtayne, Chaplain to the Bishop, after which the Lord's Supper was administered. The Lieutenant Governor, the Chief Justice, and a numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen were present; and the Lieutenant Governor, and Commandant and others, afterwards

accompanied the Bishop to consecrate the burying ground, on the South Esplanade.

At the Pettah Church, now called St: Paul's, similar proceedings took place; the Sermon was preached by the Rev. James Glenie, who happily introduced much matter applicable to that Church, aud the inhabitants of the Pettah, and the other parts of his Sermon were of the best description.

The Lieutenant Governor was present throughout the whole, and the Church was literally full. The burying-ground round the Church being too confined, an additional burying-ground has been bestowed by the Lieutenant Governor, near the Wolfendal Church, which is to be consecrated on Tuesday next after Divine Service at St. Paul's.

Divine Service will, we understand, be in future performed every Sunday in St. Paul's Church, in three languages. The English who reside outside the Fort, and the numerous other inhabitants of Colombo understanding the English language, will thus have the opportunity on the Lord's day, to hear our admirable Liturgy read in English, and a Sermon preached in the same language, by a regular Minister of the united Church of England and Ireland. It is expected that an ordination will take place to-morrow morning in the Fort Church, now called St. Peter's Church,'
