M DCCC U. « . fei**;.s,«,i // ^ff^fm^mmmmmm ''1 I t • t p b t b V . a t\ fe fe di h( p( ni ao th » dc tn< ^ TO THE CLERGY AND LAITY OP TUB DIOCESE OF TORONTO Mt Dear Brbtheen,— In my pastoral letter of the seventh February last, I mentioned my intention to proceed to England, to urge the prayer of our petition to the Queen, and if found judicious, to both Houses of Parliament. Above all, to bring the facts of our case before the notice of the mem- bers of the Church in our Father land — being con- vinced that they would feel the same indignation at so flagrant an outrage on our Holy Religion and the honour and dignity of the Oown, as had been felt here, and in the hope that they vthe difficulties it had to meet— the protracted struggles which had been made to defend it, our signal defeat, and its final destruction, and the Establishment of a University in its stead, from which Christian worship is virtu- ally excluded by special enactment. Great asto- nishment was manifested and indignation expressed, and all lamented, as a melancholy sign of the times, that such a measure as the destruction of a Royal Charter, could have found favour in any British Colony, or been allowed to pass by a Christian Government. It was very gratifying to me that neither in the United States, nor in England, did I iiod a single churchman who did not condemn in the severest language every attempt to separate education from religion, as well as the oppressive treatment which the Church has received in this Colony. V 9 On the 7th of Ma^, I attended a large meeting of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and was received with the same affectionate kind- ness as at the sister institution, and having jstated my case, I believe with effect, I was requested to re- duce it to writing for the information of the mem- bers. In a few days I presented my statement to the Rev. T. B. Murray, M. A., who considered it a document calculated to make a deep impression, and greatly *o promote my object. Mr. Murray promised to insert it in the next Ecclesiastical Ga- zette, of which eleven or twelve thousand copies are circulated and read by most of the Clergy through- out England and the Colonies. Indeed during the whole of my stay in England, the two Societies and their officers were incessant in their services and kind attentions, and were I to mention only one tenth of them it would extend this notice far beyond any reasonable bounds. Let me then observe once for all, that besides unifortn kindness and as- sistance in promoting my plans, whenever in their power they added the most substantial acts of their favour and good will. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge voted the magnificent donation of three thousand pounds sterling, towards the foundation and endow- ment of the Church University ; and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, besides a grant of two thousand pounds payable by instalments, added a gift of land within the city of Toronto, be- lieved to be worth three thousand pounds currency. Had an interview on the eleventh with a noble- man attached to the Ministry, with whom I am on 10 m teims of friendship ; I was desirous of explaioiog my vie>!78 and objects so that they might be the better understood in the proper quarter. I stated that in coming home my objects were two-fold : to solicit a Royal Charter for the Church University, and contributions towards its erection and endow- ment. He heard me with much attention and seeming interest ; nor did he appear to consider my objects unreascnabk, but of course he was very cautious as to what he said. I further observed, that I had no desire to give any trouble to the go- vernment, on the contrary, I wished to confine my requests to far less than my people might reason- ably claim. They had been unjustly treated in having been deprived of their College and endow- ment, for they had an undoubted right to educate their children in the vay they judged proper { and if any obstacles were made to the granting of a new charter that they might instruct their offspring from their own resources, it would be placing them below other denominations in the colony. A Royal Charter had been granted to the members of the Kirk of Scotland in Upper Canada, and therefore that similar grace could not in equity be witheld from us. My friend said, that he hoped matters might be smoothed down, but that from his pecu- liar position he could make no decided promise, but that he would speak upon the subject in the quarter more immediately concerned. On this in- terview I have to add, that I believe what was pro- mised was kindly and hoiiourably done, and in this instance, ai least, the prediction in my pastoral letter was fulfilled : " Nor am I without a strong 11 "* hope, that should there be obstacles to the dis* " allowance of the act, we shall, nevertheless, find *^ among the contributors to our Church Univer- " sity, some of the present Ministry. As my pre- sence in London, as well as my objects, were now generally known, the time had arrived when I must task my exertions to the utmost, to bring my journey to a prosperous issue ; and therefore it was my duty to leave nOihing honourable and practi- cable undone. Accordingly, I made arrangements to have my address conveyed to every parish in the united kingdom, in order to interest the clergy in my favour. Next, I was enabled by the assistance of my friends, to form an influential Committee, to assist me with their advice and co>operation. At the first meeting of this Committee, on the 13th June, I explained what I had already done, and was doing — my need of their assistance as a stranger, and engaged in a great and necessary work. All promised to do their best, and requested that a abort address might be drawn up and issued in the name of the Committee ; that there should be a meeting every Wednesday at one o'clock, at the Society's House, 79 Pail-Mall, to report progress, and see from time to time what furthe<* steps might be taken. At their next meeting, on the 19th June, the Committee, after some deliberation, adopted the following Address, and ordered It to be printed and widely circulated : — UPPER CANADA CHURCH UNIVERSITY. The undersigned Noblemen and Gentlemen, having heard from the Bishop of Toroni'o a statement, (the tiubstance of which is annexed) feel deeply iinpreeyed 13 with the justice and importance of his Appeal, and urgently recommend the same to the Christian sym- pathy of the members of the Church of England in the mother country.

This Diocese may reasonably he expected to prove the stronghold and principal seat of the Church in British North America. In 1827, a University was founded by Royal Charter, and liberally endowed with property now realizing about £11 ,000 per annum: It was open to all , no tests were required from Professors or students, with the exception of the College Council, or governing body, the Professor of Divinity, and students in that Faculty. It was thus connected with the National Church, though not excluding any members of other religious communities from the educational benefits it afforded. And though in 1837, some alterations were made in the charter by the Colonial Legislature, with the consent of the Crown, yet as these did not trench upon the religious character of the University, the Institution proceeded on its course of usefulness, with the full confidence of the public. But in 1849, the Legislature of the Colony passed an Act, which came into force on the 1st January, 1850, excluding Irom the University all religious instruction, according to any form of doctrine ; virtually abolishing all religious observances ; and disabling the Crown from nominating any graduate in Holy Orders, or other religious teacher, as a member of the Senate. M 13 The members of the Church, thus deprived of a tJiiiversity with which they could in any sense as re- ligious men co-operate, feel that it is their duty to sacritice endowment rather than principle; and that it is impossible for them, great as the sacrifice is, to bold connexion with an Institution now essentially anti- Christian, though originally bearing the honoured name of the Sovereign of this Empire, and established for religious purposes. They are desirous, therefore, of i.slablishirig a University in direct connexion with the Church, without pecuniary aid from public sources which repudiate the principles of Christianity as the basis of education. For this purpose, the members of the Church in Upper Canada have already contributed, within the Province, no less an amount than £25,000 ; but as this sum will barely suffice to erect thenecessjry buildings, an equal sum, at least, will be required to form an Endowment for a Church University for Canada. The aged Bishop of the Diocese, having to begin anew the work which has occupied half a century of his life, has come to England to obtain assistance from his brethren in the faith. Among other distinguished persons from whom he has already met with the most marked sympathy and encouragement, he has a melan- choly satisfaction in referring to the illustrious States- man whom Providence has so recently removed from the scene of his labours and his usefulness ; as well as to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who has promised to become a liberal benefactor to the fund he proposes to raise. He is now especially desirous of enlisting in his cause the Universities, the great Church Societies, the Clergy, and all who desiie to extend the Church in in her purity, and to promote her prosperity and use- fulness among her colonial children. Hknuy Mackenzie, M. A. ) rr « Simon J. G. Fbazer, b. A. f ^'"*- *^"- 79, Pall Mall, July 10, 185;). All communications and contributions are requested to be addressed " The Upper Canada Church University Fund, 79, Pall Mall, London:* 14 it li*!' if Liberal donations anr expected from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. The University of Oxford has already voted JC5Q0 towards the object. Payments may be made by ; cheque on a London banker, crossed " Messrs. Drummond," or by a Post-office Order on Charing Cross, payable to " Mr. Edmund Faykrman." Payments will also be re- ceived at the Bank of Messrs. Glynn, 67, Lombard- street, and Messrs. Drummond, 49, Charing Cross. Contributions of Books will be thankfully received at 79, Pall Mall. Having arranged, as far as possible, to make my object known to all the clergy, and the most inOu- ential portion of the laity, I was at more libeity to visit particular places, to attend public meetings where they could be got up with advantage, and also to endeavour to interest persons of command- ing power and influence in my proceedings : not that I had altogether neglected these matters till this time ; on the contrary, I bad attended at several such meetings, and visited both Universities. The first meeting of this kind which I attended was at Windsor, on the 2l8t May, by the request of the Bishop of Oxford. His Lordship preached in the morning before the Windsor and Eton Church Union a very interesting sermon. After Service, a public meeting for religious purposes was held : a report of the proceedings of the Windsor and Eton Church Union was read, which gave ample evidence of the great activity and prosperous condition of the institution. Some resolutions were then proposed and passed, and the meeting adjourned till seven o'clock in the evening. At the adjourned meeting, there were several good <;!'! 15 speeches : the Bishop of Oxford's was excellent ; the Rev. Mr. Pope, Missionary from the East Indies, and the Rev. Mr. Gill from Tasmania, spoke well. I was also called upon, and made my state- ment, and was listened to with great interest. The clergy and inhabitants of Windsor and Eton were particularly friendly to my object. At part- ing, the Bishop kindly invited me to Oxford on the Monday following, and promised to introduce me to the heads of houses, and to recommend my cause. Twenty-seventh May, Monday. — Took the ex- press train for Oxford, sixty-three miles, one hour and a-quarter. Met the Bishop of Oxford ; but unfortunately his Lordship was obliged to return almost immediately to London : he, nevertheless, contrived to introduce me to several heads of houses. I resided with Dr. Jeune, Master of Pembroke College, whom I found surrounded with a very interesting family. He received me with the greatest cordiality, and did all in his power to serve me : to his kind exertions, I am chiefly in- debted for the noble donation of £500, which the University bestowed on the Church University. It is quite delightful to visit Oxford, there is so mach frankness and generosity of heart, and so much readiness to promote every good work. Several matters intervened to prevent me from proceeding to Cambridge, till the 3rd of June. Found unfortunately that the term had broken up some days sooner than u .al, and that almost all the heads of houses and most of the influential men were absent. I nevertheless met a few excellent persons, who said the.t although the University 16 itself was at present rather poor, they yet hoped that something would be done in my case. On the 4tb, I returned to London, leaving a letter for the Vice-Chancellur, requesting him to bring my ob- ject before the authorities of the University at his convenience. June 21 St, Friday. — Attended the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, at two o'clock ; — several matters connected with my Diocese under deliberation. It is very pleasing to see the great interest taken by the different members in t^^ Colonial Church,-7-many of them noblemen and men of high consideration in the country, besides the Bishops and Dignitaries of the Church,-— and the time and labour which they expend in exam- ining and disposing of the different matters which come before them, and their earnest anxiety to pro- mote our prosperity in every just and proper way. June 26th. — Went to the House of Lords to hear the debate on the proposal of doing away with the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as it was reported that the Duke of Wellington would speak ; was introduced by the Lord Bishop of London, and took np my position on the lower steps of the Throne, the usual place for strangers. After the debate had continued some time, his Grace, who sat at the end of the table listening with the greatest attention, got up, and spoke against the propostnon with great force aad animation ; ftud gave so many cogent reasons for retain- ing the office of Lord Lieutenant, that the mea- •ure was abandoned. The Duke is now far 17 eps of After Grace, g with against nation ; retain- mea- ow far advanced in years, but it was very grai./ying to see a man of his age exhibit the same clearness of intellect and force of argument as in former days. The House of Lords is exceedingly gorgeous, rather more ornament and gilding than I like. On leaving the House I found all London in an uproar. A retired officer of the army in sone degree insane, gave the Queen a smart blow on the face with a small rod not thicker than a common qnill^ as her Majesty was coming out of the Duke of Cumberland's gate, Piccadilly. He was instantly seized and would have been torn in pieces had he not been rescued by the police. The Queen preserved admirable presence of mind, and aware of the vast interest taken in her safety, she very soon after attended the Opera as if nothing had happened. This ju- dicious step removed the apprehensions of the po- pulace and tranquillized the city. It is said that a tmall mark under the eye was perceptible, but the injury was very slight. June 28 — I witnessed to-day, at the request of the Principal of King's College, the distribt)- tion of prizes; the attendance was very numerous. The Rev. J. S. M. Anderson, M. A., an eminent Clergyman and Preacher of Lincoln's* Inn, was called to take the chair in the absence of the Arch- bishop who was unavoidably detained, The Prin- cipal, the Rev. Dr. Jelf, opened the proceedings in an eloquent and appropriate speech. The Rev. Chairman then gave the prizes, making very happy remarks as he delivered them to the different victors. The distribution being finished, Lord Radstock moved the thanks of the meeting to the 18 Chaiiman, and touk occasion to make many elo- quent retnaikaon the excellence of the Institution and the powerful influence it was already exerting ill promoting the cause of sound education on Christian principles. I was unexp?ctedl)r called upon to second the motion — unexpectedly because I was a stranger, and there were many present well acquainted with the rise and progress of King's College, and far better qualified to address the audience on its various merits and undoubted claims to the patronage of the public. As I rose slowly, something at a loss what to say, or how to begin, I remembered that the Chairman had written an able work on the Coh>nial Church, and that he had advocated my cause vt>ry powerfully before the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. I therefore began by remarking, " That although I had not expected to be called upon to speak on the present (xci sion, there was nevertheless some- thing very appropriate in requesting an aged Mis- sionary, who had served half a century in the Co- lonial Church to thank her gifted and eloquent historian. In that work much had been done to strengthen her claims on the Mother Church for continued aid and protection, nor had the learned author been less successful than truthful in his eloquent and feeling descriptions of the sacrifices, privations, and labours of the devoted Missionaries. " I now advert to this noble Institution, which has been long wanted in this great Metropolis, and fervently do I praj', that it may fur ages to come continue the asylum of true religion and sound learning. And does not all I see around me give 19 ample promide of its glorious career — the noble principle on which it is founded, if coni-cientiousty carried out can never fail, — the principle is this : * That every system of religious education for the * youth of a Christian community ought to com- * pride instruction in the Christian religion as an * indisp nsable part, without which, the acquisi- ' tion of other branches of knowledge will be con- * ducive neither to the happiness of the individual ' nor to the welfare of the State.' "Let literature and science have free scope, but let them be carefully impregnated with those Christian principles which can alone impart true worth and stability to character. It is not enough that you make your students learned if you fail to make them Christians, and if you do not enable them after leaving this College to carry with them into social life the moral and sanctifying virtues of true and undefiled religion. Thi*^ is happily yuur foundation. Should a parent ask * is King's Col* ' lege, besides its literary merits, a nursery of tlie * Christian Church, and a preparation of the king- ' dom of heaven ?' — You can truly answer 'Yes, to the best of our ability, God being our helper.* And in such a glorious work God will be your helper. Of this you have already had sweet experience, for at the expiration of the very first year, your scho- lars were so numerous as to defray, within a trifle, the whole of the expenses of your noble Institution, and on casting my eye over your 8th report, I find that they number during the current year 1291. Hence the experience of every yearjusti- titles the belief, that under the blessing of Divine 20 Providence, King's College will contrnue to pros- per, and prove heraelf one of the most important instruments of sound education in the British Em- pire. And here, allovr me to express my thank- fulness that the mind of England is yet true to Christianity, and that her people will never endure the separation of religion from education. " I beg leave to conclude with expressing the high gratification which the proceedings I have just witnessed have given me, and the deep interest which I shall ever take in the growing prosperity of an Institution so worthy of a Christian nation.'* Saturday, June 29th — Went this morning to lee a Church consecrated by the Bishop of Loo- don, in Crown-street, Soho, which deserves some notice. It was at first a Greek Church, and of course the congregation foreigners. The mem- bers, however, gradually disappeared, perhaps from the death or removal of the heads of families, tir the young people becoming attached to other do* nominations, and there was little or no accession of persons professing the principles of the Greek Church from abroad. At length the Church fell into the hands of Dissenters, but the congregation did not flourish, and the character of the locality became worse and worse, and being in the neigh- bourhood of St. Giles, it sunk by degrees into equal notoriety. The proprietors of the Chapel finding it in every way unprofitable, were in treaty to dispose of it for a sort of inferior play- house. The Rector of Soho parioh hearing of thie, interfered in time and purchased it for a Chapel of ease. By his exertions it was repaired and com- n jation ocality neigh- > ioto hapel re in play- >fthit, pel of com- fortbbly fitted up. After the consecration, the Bishop preached a sermon admirably suited to the circainstaoces of the Church, th« locality, and the congregation. ** Already some change ImkI taken place for the better among the people— -there wa« less noise in the street — the inhabitants dropped in riiore and more to the service — sought for prayer- books, and some who were unacquainted with its use applied to their neighbours to point out the placet, and before I left England, the congregation nearly filled the little Church. Many made the responses, all appeared more neat and clean in their dress and person — a flaurishing Sunday and day school had been established, and a holy atmosphere was gather- tag riiund the hurch, which had long been in the in«d«t of all uncleannesfl.*'' A like process is si- lently going on in similar localities throughout London. The leaven of the hurch is gradually leavening the more destitute part of the population, and enaMiiig them to throw aside their darkness and corruption. In regard to my interview with the Colonial De- partment I have no reason to complain, for I was treated with all th« politeness and consideration that I could well expect. I had left my name at the office. Downing Street, on the fourth of May, and had the honour of dining with Earl Grey on thefifteenth — the Queen's birth- day. His Lordship received me with becoming courtesy, and introduced me to the Duke of Wel- lington and other guests. On the 17th, I addressed a note to his Lordship fltating my object in coming to England, and that I tf wai the bearer of a petition to the Queen, signed by more than eleven thousand members of our Church, which I was ansious to present, at his Lord- ship's conTenience. Next day I received a note expressing regret that Lord Grey was obliged to go out of town, but that he would be happy to receive roe on his return. The interview took place on the 29th May, and my requests were severally discussed in an amicable manner, and the results embodied in Earl Grey's despatch of the 13th of June. As respects the grant- ing a Charter, "Her Majesty's Government," I was informed, "are always disposed to regard favourably proposals which are made for extending and im- proving the means of education in the British Colo- nies, and more especially where those proposals do not involve the necessity of a grant of public money; and readiness was expressed to consider with the utmost attention the suggestions offered for the incorporation of a new University in Upper Canada, whenever a draft of the Charter which may be deemed adequate to the purpose was received ; " But that until the Secretary of State was in pos- session of such draft it was obvious, that he was not in a position to form any judgment upon the propriety of recommending Iler Majesty to give '' Her consent to the desired measure — but it wab. added, ** That the Secretary of State should feel it to be his duty to communicate with the Provincial Government on a matter of such importance, before committing Her Majesty's Government toany settled course of action." Now, with the exception of the proposed refer- td ence to the Provincial Government, all Appeared fair and reasonable, and no indication was given uf any disposition to withhold the Charter, on the part of the Secretary of State. Even the reference itself, ao far as I could gather, proceeded from no hostile spirit, but w&s grounded upon what was thought a precedent. In ths case of the Queen's College, I was told that a Charter had been first obtained in the Colony, and then the Home Government had nothing more to do than to comply with wishes already expressed and acted upon by the Provin- cial authorities, and I was left to infer that, had I brought a like document there would have been no difficulty — but not having done so, it became neces- sary to prevent any misunderstanding to proceed in the same way. It may be that the Secretary of State did not dream of any opposition from the Colony, and considered the effect of the reference nothing more than a little delay ; I thought differently and considered such reference to the present Colonial authorities tantamount to a refusal. Had, indeed, the Colonial Government shewn the same friendly feeling towards the Church of England as the «'io- vernment of (he day did to that of Scotland, when the Charter was granted to Queen's College, there would have been no fear, fie this as it may, the reference to those who had done us so great injury and created all our difficulties, appeared to me, as it did to others, a cruel mockery. On the 10th of June I had waited on Sir Rcbt. Peel to request his influence in promoting my ob- jects, and after reading the act destroying King's College, and establishing with its endowment a i U':^ $4 College from which religious worship was virtual! j excluded, he pionounced it an atrocious pro- ceeding which could never have tak«n place in England. When this new difficulty occurred I again sought an interview with that eminent States- man, who kindly promised to speak to Mr. Hawes or Earl Grey, whom he considered very honourable men and not likely to do anything unreasonable or unjust, nor did he think that on consideration the reference would be persisted in. But should the Charter be delayed what is your intention P I said " The College would conaneirce as soon as I returned to Canada whether we received a Royal Charter or not." " You are right, the Church must do her duty !" " Your case," lie continued, " is very aggravated and perhaps it would be better to go at once to Lord John Ruesell, who wuuhl, I believe, do whst is right. This, however, may be considered should the Colonial Office fail you.** As respects the petition presented on the 29ih, the following extract from Lord Grey*s despatch of the 13th, gives the necessary information : — ** Having laid ** before the Queen the petition dated the 9th of " April last, which you placed in my hands from " certain members of the United Church of Eng- " land and Ireland in Upper Canada, urging the *^ establishment of the proposed Uiiiverttity, I h«ve to acquaint your Lordship, that Her Majesty was pleased to receive the same very graciously. I have also laid before Her Majesty the petition which your Lordship communicated to me at the same interview, from the Clergy and Laity of the '* Church of England in Upper Canada, expressing ** their objections to the Act passed in the last tt it «i 25 " Seasion of the Legislature of Canada, for the " amendment of King*8 College, Toronto, and " pra3'ing that measures may be taken for restoring " that College to its efficiency, with such modifica* '* tions of ltd original Charter, as shall separate it " entirely from politics. Upon this petition, which, " judging from the terms in which it is expressed, '* should, I apprehend, have been delivered to nie " previously to the confirmation of the Act referred *'■ to, I have been unable to advise Her Majesty to " issue any commands." On the loth June, I inclosed a draft of the pro« posed Charter to the Secretary of State, which is merely a transcript of that of King's College or of Queen's College, now in successful operation at Kingston, with such alterations only as might sepa- rate the institution it seeks to establish from any political influence whatever, and enable it to pro- ceed in its work of religious and scientific itistruc- tion in security and peace. I offtred, at the same time, some reasons to induce Lord Grey to relin- quish any reference to the Provincial Government which had shewn itself so hostile to the interests of the Church. I respectfu^.^y submitted that the avowed object of the party which had destroyed King's College, was to have only (tne Univetsily, and to affiliate with it all existing Colleges or Seminaries in the Province, and although this ob- ject had signally failed — yet, while the desire ex- isted, "ve cuuld not look fur any favourable result from such reference. I likewise brought under consideration the hardship and great evil of delay —that the meoibets of the Church supplied a tB greater number of Students for Collegiate instruc- tion tiian any other Denomination, and that the refusal of a charter was nothing less than intoler- ance and proscription, that we were only asking what had been already granted to others, and could not be withheld from us without manifest injustice. I deprecated such a course as giving us reason to envy our neighbours in' the United States, where there was no instance of a Charter such as we desired, being refused. Instead of circumscribing their Colleges and Schools of learning, that acute people take delight in their multiplication, and so little jealous are thry in this respect, that the} have unifotmly cherished all such Institutions as had been founded by the Crown previous to the Revo- lution, and such have received from their several Legislatures the greatest encouragement, after such Legislatures had become foreign to the British Empire. Thus the Colleges founded by the Kings and Queen of England in the Colonies, now the United Stated, are respected, and their endowtnents not only held sacred but generously increased. On discussing this difficulty with some friends, one of them remarked that, " He did not consider the case altogether so desperate as some others for it presented two aspects, from each of which some- thing of hope might be extracted. First, as (o Lord Grey, his conduct throughout seemed fair and honourable, and no where did it evince any particular opposition to granting a Charter — but from the xtraordinary position taken by the Cana- dian Legislaturl in passing an act so reckless and unconstitutional, it became a question of great de- 27 licacy to Vnovi how to deal with such a body.—- Hence it was not improbable that His Lordship bad adopted the most discreet way of smoothing down matters, and in doe time bringing about what was desired. That His Lordship was no doubt as much aware of the violence and injustice ofsup* pressing King's College, as Sir Robert Peel, or any one else, and yet he might not feel himself justified in making it a subject of contention with so great a Colony. At all events it would put the provin- cial authorities more than ever in the wrong, and saddle them with all the responsibility, an advan- tage of great importance to the Colonial Office, which had already incurred no small odium from sanctioning a measure so generally condemned. — Even with respect to the leaders of the present ma- jority in Canada, there were some causes for in- dulging hope. They must be convinced by this time of the foolish absurdity of attempting to con- fine the education of the youth of an intelligent population, already nearly a million, and soon to become many millions, to one place and one semi- nary. They must also have discovered fror.i ex- perience that the enactment coniplained of, con- tains within itself the seeds of contention and dis- solution, and from its political character is the worst of all Seminaiies for the instruction of youth, who ought to be kept quiet and secluded from every sort of agitation. Again, they must feel that mo- nopoly is in the present age of all things the most hateful, ai.d can never be endured in a free coun- try, or be countenanced by any man of truly libe- ral principles. " In fine they cannot offer public opposition to the 2S granting of a Charter for a Church Universityt or for one desired by any other renpectable deno> mination in the Province, without confessing their dread of a rival, and that their Mammoth institu- tion must be propped up by penal laws or like the walls of Jericho, it would fall to the ground, and thus expose them to universal scorn. To refuse the protection necessary to enable free men to educate their ch" Iren, would bring upon them a stream of obloquy which must soon overwhelm them. I am tl^erefore inclined to believe that they will be satisfied with the mischief they have accomplished in destroying the Charter of King's College and seizing its property — and not allow their hatred to prevent it, by farther violence, from rising in a bet- ter form out of the dust into which they have thrown it, for such conduct would be like striking a man already felled to the ground — an act the most cowardly and revolting to every honourable mind. On the whole I am disposed to believe that you have no great reason to be discouraged. Lord Grey has done all that could have been fairly ex> pected of him under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and there are some acts too mean and contemptible, even for the most bitter partizans to commit. Even should we be in error as to our hopes on this score, it is in truth, of little moment, a few months will make a change here or in the colony, and in either case the Charter of your University, should it be considered of any value, can easily be obtained." The question of granting or not granting to the Church a Royal Charter for a University, in which 29 to educate her youth for the sacred work of her Ministry, and the other liberal professions, having been thus referred to the Provincial Government, nothing remained but for me to express my regret at the course adopted, and to hope against hope, that our opponents would be content with the evil they had already done the Church and her mem- bers, and would not add the further iniquity of re- fusing their assent to a measure so reasonable and just, now that the responsibility was thrown wholly on themselves. At the same time it could not be concealed that a Charter on such terms must lose much of its dignity and value because it would not be altogether the gift of our Sovereign. Hence it became a mat ter of consideration whetherunder such a painful humiliation we should not better con- sult our honor, and the integrity of our principles by withdrawing our petition, and waiting a more propitious season for renewing our request, and this course was suggested by several influential friends, but on the whole it was thought wiser to let things take their course. This reference from the Secretary of State to the Colony — was made about the end of July, and as it was not my inten- tion to leave England before the middle of October, there was ample time for an answer. In the mean while [ not only attended to my Committee, and the increase of contributions, but made frequent excursions into various counties — to Canterbury, to visit the Missionary College of St. Augustine— to Maidstone, Colchester, Northampton, &c. &c. I thus continued — (London being my head quar- ters,) till the prorogation of Parliament. On the 97th of August I proceeded to Scotland, visiting I ; Ediciburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews, Perth, and Aberdeen, and on my return south, I was hospi- tably received in the North of England — stopping at York, Wakefield, Leeds, and Liverpool, at all which places opporiunities were afforded me of stating my case, and thus gaining friends and donors. On the 25th of September I was again in London, and found time to visit the lale of Wight, Arundel, and Brighton, &c., bringing my numerous excur- sions to a close on the 9th of October. The few re- maining days which intervened between that and the 17 th, on which day I was to leave London for Liverpool, were employed in making preparations for my journey, and putting all my affairs in good order before sailing ; and right glad was I to see the day for turning my face homewards so rapidly approaching, for my energies had been rather too nmch tasked while in England, both in body and in mind. On Saturday, the 19th of October, I sailed from Liverpool at noon, and on Saturday morning the 2nd of November, at one o'clock, I was in Toronto, being 13 days and 13 hours. The result of my labours on leaving England, as already frequently stated, is in money and bonds, nearly sixteen thou- sand pounds currency ; the collections nre howc' ver still proceeding. The summary of my journey to England thus given is submitted with kindness and respect to all the Church members of the Diocese, every one of whom has a deep interest in the prosperity of the Institution which we are establishing; but more (^specially is it submitted to those who signed th« M petitions to the Queen nnd the two Houses of Par- liament, and came forward ro affectionately and honourably' with their countenance and subscrip- tions, to strengthen and cheer me on my tedious journey, and paved the way for my encouraging success. To such tried friends and supporters it will be at all time«> a great pleasure to me to aflford every information in my power respecting our pro* ccedingIe farmers, and t'.adesmen, will flock to our Hallff, and under our instruction and guidance qualify themselves for every station in the Church and State. With such views and princi- ples we shall proceed in the even tenor of our way, neither turning to the right nor to the left, but so proceeding as to preserve a conscience void of offence towards God and towards man. We shall be kindly disposed towards all kindred Colleges and seats of learning, who fear God, and maintain religious worship within their walls— the only rival- ship we shall tolerate, will be an earnest striving for superiority in religious, moral, and secular knowledge, and provoking one another to love and good works. S 38 On my way home I thought that prudence would compel us to omit for a time, the important faculties of Medicine and Law, because our flnan- ces are too limited to afford them any other en- couragement than Lecture-rooms, when our build- ings are finished. But the noble and disinterested manner in which the gentlemen now forming the Medical Department of the Church University came forward, removed every difficulty. Nor will the gentlemen of the law be long be- hind, in attaching their faculty to our rising Insti- tution. What an immense field does the legal profession embrace P Public law or the law of nations — the Roman and civil law — English and Scots law — the American and Colonial law, to which may with propriety be added, the science of political economy. What a knowledge of human nature do these branches unfold ! It cannot be that in the Church University such an extensive and profound faculty should be long wanting, or that we should consider its onerous duties discharged by one soli- tary lecturer. It is true these two faculties are in all Universities of any name, attended with little or no expense to the public chest, in the way of salaries, which seldom exceed £50 or £100, because such Professorships are considered an honor. Their Incumbents depend for support on their professional practice, and not on their academical po8ition,which repays them sufiicientiy by the rank it confers. Since the passing of that iniquitous act, by which King's College is considered to be annihilated, two or three things have occurred which deserve notice, rm 34 because they seem to give some obscure indica- tions of a gradual return to a better spirit. First, we have what is called the explanatory act of the last Session^ which, in truth, gives no ex- planations at all, but in a few silly and impotent clauses, ludicrously marshals certain vague inten- tions, in the teeth of positive enactments whieh it leaves unrepealed. We are, nevertheless, willing to rec&ive even this feeble attempt towards what is right, as a tardy confession of error, while we lam- ent that the framer should have halted on the thresh- old of repentance, and not have proceeded boldly to correct all that had been done wrong. The correction was easy and stilt in time— if enamoured of an affiliating University, why not adopt that of London with such slight modifications as might ac- commodate it to the state of the Colony. In London, a University has been established by Royal Charter for conferring degrees, and for no other purpose whatever. It consists of a Visitor- Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Senate, with a body of Examiners, selected from the moat emi- nent scholars of the different faculties. Tc this University all the Collegiate Institutions for edu- cation, in the United Kingdom and the Colonies, corporate or unincorporated, are affiliated, or on ap- plication may be affiliated. This affiliation entitles such Colleges and Institutions to send up their Students who have parsed through their respective prescribed courses of study, to the University, with certificates of proficiency^ and to request a degree. As the London University is responsible for the honors it confers, the authorities besides verifying 35 these certificates, require the candidates to submit to a strict examination in the branches of know- ledge especially required for the degree — and the granting of such a degree depends upon the fa- vourable report of the examiners. The degrees thus conferred by virtue of a Royal Charter, are recognised through all the Diitish dominions. As the London University merely confers degrees, it has no Professors and gives no instruction of any kind, nor does it meddle or interfere in any ^ay with the affiliated Colleges, or have any connexion with them except through their certificates. Now all this is very simple — there is no dragging up these Colleges from the locality which they have chosen as the most convenient for their peculiar objects, nor are they called upon to waste their funds in building halls or Churches round the London University, but they are left to build where they please, to make their own arrangements, and manage their own affairs, and to regulate their studies and doings as they think Ht. If instead of the foolish act of last Session, a mea- sure had been passed on the model of the London University, and then sent home to be converted into a Royal Charter, that its degrees might extend through all the dominions of the Crown, and not be confined to the Province, as those conferred by the Toronto University, a substantial good would have been effected. In such case Queen's College, Victoria College, Knox's College, Regiopolis Col- lege, &c. &c., on being affiliated could send up tbeir students with certificates of proficiency, for degrees, and if such proficiency was confirmed by 36 cxaminatlon.the degrees requested would.as a mat- ter of course, be conferred. Moreover, a ssuch a University would cost little or nothing to keep it up, and as that little, viz., a trifle to the examinprs, and a competent salary to the Registrar, would be more than defrayed by a very moderate fee upon each degree, the whole of the endowment of King's College, instead of being wasted as it seems likely to be on the present Mammoth Institution, might be divided among these existing Colleges, and such others as may hereafter spring up, in propor- tion to the members of the denominations to which they respectively belong. Thus, instead of har- rassing and insulting these Colleges with the mock- ery of the present proposed affiliation, which offers them bread, and gives them a stone, they would re- ceive the most substantial advantages. Some such measure must be adopted sooner or later, for To- ronto University as at present constituted and ma- naged, can never stand. 2d — A bill was introduced during the last Ses- bion of the Provincial Parliament, by the Bishop of Toronto's friends, for the purpose of acquiring corporate powers to receive the donations given, and to be given for the establishment of the Church University. Now, although this measure was not passed, from the lateness of the Session, we are thankful fur the general favour which it mot with, for we have only heard of one solitary voice against it ; and we trust that by next Session that voice will have become sensible of the indelicacy, to say the least, of opposing the grant of such legal faci- lity for the security of Church Education, which is 37 snarcely ever refused to the most humble petition- ers, in cases of far inferior importance. 3rd — We are also grateful to the Senate of To- ronto Univer8ity,for lately permitting the evidences of the Christian religion, to be noticed in the lec- tures of moral philosophy. These things, though perhaps in themselves of little moment, are, never- theless, of great value, as iudicaiions of a gradual return to a better spirit. Only one point more remains to be disposed of Some of our friends are filled with grief, and others with indignation, on being con* etantly taunted by our opponents with the fact, that if it was wrong to destroy King's College and establish an infidel Institution in its stead, it was a Churchman that did it, and that he has btill some members of the Church among his abettors. Now, as we cannot deny this melancholy fact, we must be content to bear the approbrium, and I therefore entreat the faithful children of the Church to do so with patience, and without any feelings of personal resentment. We have only to reflect that such contradictions have happened in the Church of God from the beginning — there was an adversary among the Apostles, and St. Paul lind his Alexander the coppersmith. I remain, my dear Brethren, Your affectionate Diocesan, JOHN TORONTO. Toronto, 1 0th Dec, 1850. 38 m CHURCH UNIVERSITY BOARD. At a Meeting of the Church University Board, called by order of ihe Lobd Bishop, and held at the Church Society's House, on Saturday, the 2 1st of December 18.50, his Lordship the Bishop of Toronto addressed the ncieeting as tcliows : — " Gentlemen, — I have taken i.^ early a moment as I conveniently could after my return, to request that you would do me the favour to assemble, in order that I might thv.nk you personally for your kindness in associating, during my absence for the purpose of forwarding, b^' any means that might be suggested, the great object in which we take so deep an interest — namely, the establishment of an University, in which the young men of our Church may be educated by teacherr, who shall be under no necessity of abstaining from initructing them in the Articles of her Faith, and who will feel it to be thsir first and highest duty to inculcate a knowledge of her doctrines, and to train up the youth committed to their care, in a pious observance of her worship. What you will naturally desire first to know is, the measure of success which has so far attended our exertions. — I mean the exertions made in this country before my departure, and the efforts made by myself in England, which efforts were unremit- ting during the period of my stay there. That you may have all under one view, I havt^ requested Mr. Champion to prepare a statement of the contributions made iu Canada, in land and money ; and I have furn'shed Mm with the means also of preparing a similar statement of the amount rnioed upon the appeal mnde bj ;ne in England.—- These minutes will remain deposited with the 111 ^ Secretary of the Church Society, who will at all times exhibit them to any Memb^ of the Church who may desire to see them. They will show that there have been subscrip- tious made io Upper Oaoada in land, of the esti- mated value of .,,....,«.. £7,^62 15 In money to the amount of 16,708 2 6 Acres not valued, 3391, but taking them at the usual estima- tion of one pound per acre...>.. 3,391 Two Town Lots, not valued by the donors, but assumed to be "r^urth 50 £27,711 17 6 And I have the pleasure of stating that in addition to this fund, donations have been made by kind friends of our undertaking in England, to the amount of ten thousand pounds ster- ling, or in currency about 12,444 which includes the very liberal contributions made by the Ve- nerable Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign parts. — The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and the University of Oxford. The Venerable Society for the Pro- pagation of the Gospel, has also given a valuable piece of land within the city of Toronto, which is estimated at 3,000 £43,155 17 6 mw ^mmHmnem m. .^:^' 40 I was under t^e necessity of incurring the ex- pense of printing documents and circulars in great numbers, as I depended more on the hope of ex- citing a general interest among the Members of our Church, than of being assisted by any large contributions from individuals which must al- ways be uncertain. These aids we cannot doubt will come in time — the good and wise Being in whose cause we are engaged, will dispose the hearts of His people to strengthen our efforts. We must not on our part let the design drop for a mo- ment — we must and will advance steadily and as expeditiously as shall be in our power by all the exertion we can use ; and we need not fear — that when, with the blessing of God, we have so far ma- tured our plan as to be able to open a College for jr youth on the sound and liberal system to which we have pledged ourselves, an interest in its success will be found to gain ground rapidly, and to show itself occasionally in those munificent benefactions which in all countries have come in aid of institu- tions founded for such worthy purposes. Deducting from the funds raised in England, the expences unavoidably incurred by me in such dis" bursements as I have referred to, (which form in- deed the only deduction from the fund, for all my own personal expences from the time of my de- parture to my return, I have cheerfully defrayed from my private means,) ws may still reckon on about ten thousand pounds sterling, because there will be accessions yet flowing in from the effect of measures adopted by me for making an appeal to the several parishes throughout England. 41 For realiziag'and securing the contributions made in this country in land and money, measures should immediately be taken ; and one important consider^ ation is, what is the best and most convenient me^ thod of investing the property in the absence of a corporate capacity which, ^fter some delay, we may hope to obtain, either by an Act of the Legislature or by a Royal Chatter. In order to avoid the jiecessity of calling upon all the Members of this Committee to meet ; ex- cept on such particular occasions as may seem to reqnir it, propose that I may be favoure^l with the ast iftv^^ . .. of a Council, to be composed of a limited number of gentlemen, whose advice I can have in all matters respecting the College, and its property^ until a more formal constitution can be obtained. In the mean time, I propose that the property shall be vested in a limited number of Trustees who will act, in regard to the care and disposition of it, under such instructions as they shall receive from the Council. While I was in England I made an application to Her Majesty's Seer; tr^ry of State for the Colo nies, for a Charter posed College, anc ' form or heads of ^i i Charter as I thought desirable, I framed a J.fift, which I now lay a copy of before you. It was prepared by me chiefly from the original Charter of King's College as granted by the Crown, and from the system adopted in regard to Bishop's College, established at Lennoxville, in Lower >! e government of the pro- j. requested to furnish the IS! I 4^ m m m Canada, throagh the exertioBs of the present^Wd Bishop of Quebec. What may be the prospect of our speedily ob- taining a Charter of iDcorpoTatioi^ it is difficult at present to determine. We should have thought it incredible, if it had not been proved to us, that either the imperial of Colonial Government could have wanted the firmness to afford their countenance and support to an institution for the education of youth in avc r ' ""^nnexion with the established religion of the E^ . ; and more sur- prising still it has been to us, ^o find that they wanted the justice even to maintain the grant which they had actually made for that obviously wise and necessary purpose. This, however, I do not speak of as a ground of reproach to one administration or party more than another> It would perhaps be unjust so to represent it — though I believe there have been some public men serving in this Province, while the destruction of KingV College was in pro- gress, who could have scarcely brought themselves to concur in such a measure as has been passed in disregard to the solemn pledge of our Sovereign. However this may be, it is our duty to repair the injury that has been done, as soon as we can, and as effectually as we can. For the youth of the National Church ought no more than the youth of other religious denominations to be forced into a College, in which no Church or form of doctrine is acknowledged, nor into any College under the exclusive government of an Ecclesiastical body other than their own. In behalf of the Romau Catholics, the Presby- 43 leriaos and MethodUts, the Government have pro* vided the means of avoiding this difficulty by grant* ing to them Charters of Incorporation for Colleges of their own, and I will not suppose it possible that they will withhold the same advantage from us. But if we could be certain that they would) it should not in the slightest degree divert us from our object. You will be glad, I think, to learn that a site has been procured for our University-— such as seems to combine many advantages. I have agreed to the purchase of twenty acres of land very eligibly situated, being the front part of Park Lot Number — — , at a price which I think not unreasonable. No other tract, so well calculated for the purpose, I believe, could have been procured in the vicinity of this city, or rather I may say, in the city, fur it is within its limits. While I was in England I procured the plan of a new College, intended to be erected near Liver* pool which, it appears to me, may, with some modi- fications, be adapted to our purpose, and my expec- tation is that we may have so much of it completed before the next winter, as will enable us to com- mence instruction. All who take an interest in the Church Univer- sity must have observed with pleasure the prompti- tude with which several of our most eminent Medi- cal Practitioners have associated themselves with the view of forming a complete Medical Faculty, to be conducted in the same spirit, which we tdrust, will ever animate the whole. The known talents and character of these gentlemen give the best as- surance for the efficiency of the department which they have with so much kindness undertaken. mr. 44 Such, gentlemen, are the matters which I wished to communicate to you, and adding, to what I have now said, the more detailed statement which has appeared in The Church newspaper,* you will, I trust, find yourselves in possession of every thing important which you can desire to know respecting my journey to England, and the present state and prospects of The Church University. We may still have many difficulties to encounter and surmount, but the great encouragement which we have already received from every qdarter where the Gospel is honoured, gives us a sure promise of a successful result. The work which we have in hand has not been undertaken from caprice or trivial motives, but has been rendered absolutely necessary by events over which we had no control, and believing them to have been permitted by a wise Providence for the trial of our Christian principles, we should have proved ourselves traitors to the Saviour and his body, the Church, had we shrunk hack in selfish indifference." At the conclusion of his Lordship's address, the following Resolution was moved by the Hon. The Chief Justice, and seconded by the Hon. James GoBDON, and having been put to the Meeting by the Secretary, was unanimouetly carried: — liesolved,— That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Lord Bishop of Toronto, for the interesting report vrhich he has had the goodness to lay before as of his proceedings in England, and of the present condition of the Church University Fund. • Thii allude* to th« P^toral Letter publUhed herewith. 46 CHURCH UNIVERSITY BOARD. A Meeting called by order of the Lord Bishops of the Church University Board, was held in the city of Toronto, on Saturday the 4th of January, 1851. The LosD Bishop op Toronto in the Chair. The Bishop opened the meeting, which was numerously attended, by reading the following circular : — Toronto, 3rd January, 1851. Sir, — I am directed by the Bishop to invite yoii to meet him at the Church Society's House, on Saturday the 4th instant, at three o'clock, P. M., to choose a certain number of Gentlemen from among the Subscri- bers to the Church University, to form, with a like number named by his Lordship on behalf of the Donors in England, a Provisional Council, till the Institution goes into operation. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Thomas Champion, Secretary. The lollowing resolution was moved by E.G. O'Brien, Esq., seconded by Lewis Moffatt, Esq., and having been put to the ^leeting by the Secretary was unani- mously carried : — Whereas, the Provision made for sound religious and general education, under the care and guidance of the Church, by means of the original Charter, granted by King George the Fourth, to the late University of King's College, and obtained chiefly through the exertions of our beloved Diocesan, then Archdeacon of York, has been wholly diverted to mere secular purposes ; and the character of the University so entirely changed by unwise legislation from time to time, as to result in the prohibition, by parliamentary Statute of all Public Worship and Keligious Instruction within its walls, it has, therefore, become imperatively necessary to establish some seat of learning in the Province in which on the basis of religious knowledge, and under the 46 j i sanctifying influences of religious observances, the sons of Churchmen, as well as the youth generally of the Province, may attain that instruction in the various branches of Art and Science necessary to qualify them for discharging their duties in Church and state: And •whereas, the Right Reverend Father in God, John, Lord Bishop of Toronto, has a/;ain, by his individual exertions, brought such a school of learning into that state of maturity as to give sure prospect of its being shortly put into operation, and now requiring the aid of a Provisional Council for its management. Be it resolved that the thanks of the Churchmen generally throughout the Province are justly due to his Lordship for these exertions, and that this Board do therefore for them- selves most respectfully tender the same to his Lordship^ And be it further Resolved, That before proceeding to the appointment of members to form part o£ the Provisional Council, as desired by the circular of the 3rd instant, calling this meeting, this Board records its sense of the large pecuniary aid which his Lordship has given, by taking upon himself, and defraying out of his private means, not only heavy preliminary expenses incurred in this Province, but also, and in addition thereto, those expenses necessarily attendant on an expensive and lengthened visit to Grea'. Britian, the payment of which by his Lordship should be considered as a donation to the Institution in addition to hjs other liberal subscrip- tions made thereto. The Lord Bishop, after thanking the meeting for the resolution whi«h they had passed^ proceeded aa follows : — " The time is now come when active measures must (be taken for realising, securing and taking care of the donations in land and money, which have been made towards the support of The Church University. *'In addition to this, steps must be taken for l:,"^ ■'7: * -■i! 47 the erecttng suitable buildings— contracts must be made —plans determined upon— and funds provided. " Moreover, it may be found necessary to consider whether any alterations can with advan- tage be adopted in the draught of the Charter or form of the Constitution which has been already submitted to the Government in England, and sent 10 the Provincial authorities here for approval, but of which no notice has been yet taken, although it must have been received several months ago. Perhaps this apparent neglect may not be produc- tive of any great disadvantage f for, should changes be judged expedient, it may be necessary again to submit the draught of the Charter so amended to the consideration of Government. In the mean time, such inattentioa to our wishes seems to indicate that there h no immediate prospect of getting a Charter, and that we are compelled, without waiting any longer^ to consider by what scheme of Government the want of it can be best supplied, on the principle of acting as a voluntary association. And here, gentlemen, I would observe, that since the destruction of King's College, and till a Charter shall be obtained, we are placed and kept, as members of the United Church of England and Iceland, under every other religious denomination in the Province; and the influence of the Crown is not only employed, without the knowledge of our gracious Sovereign, and unquestionably contrary to her wishes, to arrest the growth and extension of the Church, which she has sworn to cherish and protect^ but even to peril Its existence. 48 " How long this &tate of things shall be suffered to continue, I know not ; but in the mean time, we have a sacred duty to discharge ; bnd 1 have, therefore, called you together, to assist me in deliberating and acting in these matters, — and for this purpose to have a Board formed from the Contributors of The University, to serve as a Provisional Council ; and, as the College is to be strictly a Church of England Institution, the members chosen will be required to sign the Thirty-nine Articles. *' I would propose that the Provisional Council shall consist o( twelve members, of whom six shall be chosen by the Contributors of The University now present ; and six by the Bishop, in his own behalf, and that of the Church Societies and Contributors in En^'land. '* I would farther propose, that the two Arch- deacons shall be ex-officio members of the Provisi- onal Council, when it may be in their power to attend, and that the Bishop preside at all meetings at which he may fini it convenient to be present. " I have now therefore to request that you, gentlemen, who have had the goodness to associate ill my absence in forwarding the great object we have in view, do forthwith choose six of your body, who are willing to give a portion of their time to the service of the Church University, and to act as temporary Councillors in the management of its affairs. '* This being done, I shall nominate a like num- ber, including one to represent the Medical Faculty. 49 " Such Council to serve till the College is ready to commence the business of instruction, when some modifications will become necessary that all the Faculties may be equally represented." On the recommendation of the Lobo Bishop, Ic was agreed — That a Provisional Council be formed, to consist of the Lord Bishop of Tobonto, who shall preside at all meetings at which his Lordship may find it convenient to attend; the Venerable the Abch< DEACON OF Kingston ; the Venerable the Abch- DEACON OF York, nnd twelve Members ; to serve till the University be ready to commence the butl- ness of instruction ; and that six of the twelve Members of such Council shall be chosen by the contributors to the Church University now present ; and six, including one to represent the Medical Faculty, by the Lord Bishop on his own behalf, and that of the Church Societies and Contributors la England. The following gentlemen were nominated bv the Meeting, and elected as Members of the said Council :— Alexander Burnside, Esq., the Hon. Mr. Cbie:? Justice Robinson, the Rev. H. J. Grasett, M. A., the Hon. Mr. Chief Justice Mac aula v, John Arnold, Esq., Lewis Moffatt, Esq. The Lord Bishop then nominated the following gentlemen as members of the Council : — The Hon. James Gordon, the Hon. Mr. Vice- chancellor Spragge, Philip Vankoughnst, Esq., the Hon. R. S. Jamsgon, the Hon. Mr. Justick Draper. 50 Aad to repreitnt tht Medical Faculty— Edward M. Hoddib, Esq., M. C. It wai also agieed that the foUowiog Geotlemea sliould be Trustees :— The ReT. H. J. OnASBTT, M. A., George Wm. Allan, Esq., and Lewis MorFATT, Esq. It was Ordered, That the first meeting of the CouDcil should take place on Thursday, the 9 th of January, at the Church Society's House, at three o'clock, P.M. His Lordship then thanked the Board for their attendance ; and stated that they would occasion- ally be called together, when the Council had any important business upon which it might be thought advisable to take their opinion. Tugs. Champion, Secretary. COUNCIL OF THE CHURCH UNIVERSITY. At the First Meeting of the Council of the Church University, held on the 9th of January, 1851 : The Honourable Mr. Justice Draper having intimated to the Lord Bishop that it might be inconvenient to him to attend the duties of the Council, although desirous to the best of his ability to promote the interests of the Institution, and therefore begged to decline ; Upon which his Lordship nominated James M. Stbachan, Esquire, a member of the Council, vice the Hoo. Mr. Justice Deapbr, resigned. 51 CHURCH UNIVERSITY. Council : The Hon. andRt.Rev. the Lord Bishop op Toronto. The Ven.
