The report of the Committee on the division of the Parish mentioned above is as follows : I'he Committee appointed at tlie last meotin.:^ of tho Vestry of Trinity Church to take into consideration the proposed division of the Paj"ish, beg leave to reptnt, that after a full and (lelii)erate dis- cussion of the subject, with an anxious desire to meet the wishes of ti»e parishioners, and at the snmo time advance the interests of the Church, they Iiavo unanimously agreed to the tbllowing plan of tlivision : * * * * Hi « In burthening St. John^s Parish with tho annuity of £60, jour Committee do not anticipate any objection on the part of the future parishioners. They will doubtless reileet that a handsome and sub- stantial orifice, which originally' cost more than £8^U00, 1ms been surrendered to them for a Parish Church, the pew vents of whieii now yield the hnnual sum of £299. The present contingencies of St. John's Chapel, including the salaries of tho organist and sexton, may be averaged at piO, which, added to the proposed animity of £60, win leave £15& per annum towards the payment of the Hector's salary. A minute statement of the finances ofTiinity Church, pre- pared by the Vestry Clerk, is already before the Vestry. It exhib- its a satisfactory surplus. But it must be borne in mind that a large sum of money will soon be required for repairs of the Church and the erection of a new tower. Upon tho whole, however, without entering into details, your Committee feel justified in saying that the state of the Church funds presents no serious obstacle to the plan of division above proposed, and they agree in recommending the same to the Vesti-y.
