TO CORRESPONDENTS. 1 It would serve no Rood purpose were we to publish the magisterial examination in the County Court at Bala. The scene was to be regretted tl A Membb," asks us how it is that we have now no accounts sent to us of the Lay Society's meetings We cannot answer the question, "St. Mungo's" lines are not quite up to our standard of criticism. The letter on tin "Lay Movement," and other com- munications stand over till our next. We received, late on Thursday night, a report of the lecture recently delivered by Mr. tVillinm Roberts, at Southwark, on the Eastern Question, but it is im- possible we can find room for it this week.

CHURCH EXTENSION IN BANGOR. tor many years past, the necessity for ad- ditional Church accommodation in the parish of Bangor, has been very apparent. Commo- dious as the Cathedral is for the congregation of comparatively a limited district, the rapid increase of inhabitants in this city and imme- diate neighbourhood, in the absence of a cor- responding increase of Church accommodation, has at length rendered it imperative that a new Church should he forthwith erected. Upon this point there appears to be no difference of opinion. The unanimous manner in which the resolutions, submitted to the meeting on Wednesday, were passed, is conclusive in that respect. There appears, however, to be a de- sire on the part of some of the promoters of a Iiaw church, tluit the sacred edifice should be erected at the East end, while there are others who would prefer its being- raided in the Wes- tern portion of the city. This part of the question, we have no desire at present to dis- cuss. The matter is in the hands of the com- mittee appointed at the meeting referred to, a report of whose proceedings we publish in another colllmn of this dziy's I Chronicle: We beiieve that we are correct in stating- that a rumour was inlu-ilrion^ly circulated throughout the parish, previously to the hold- ing of the meeting, to the effect that a church- rate would be proposi ti for effecting the object in view. We need scarcely add that such ru- mour was without the slightest foundation. It will be seen by our report, that a sub- scription li-it Was at once opened, and th it the sums subscribed were of the most munificent description— £ 1,010 having been contributed on the spot. We can only express our sincere desire that the example thus set will be as liberally followed, and that ere long we shall have the satisfaction of announcing that the ne- cessary preliminaries have been completed, and that the good work shall have been commenced. We were much pleased wi,h the energy dis- played on the occasion by the Bishop, whose life has been spent in labours most interesting and valuable to mankind; and can only add our sincere desire thaI his lordship may be pro- longed in health, happiness, and usefulness,— that in his decline he may be cheered by the prosperity of the Church, aJld the abundant con- solations of our holy religion ;—and that when his lordship shall resign an earthly mi ire, it may be for a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

THE WAR IN THE EAST. The Ktnperor of Russia has withdrawn his funds from the Bank of England, and closed his account with that establishment; as he has with the Bank of France. The large sum of .£OO,()OO, in -old, has been remitted to Rus- sia within the last three weeks,—chiefly, it is Understood, on account of the Emperor. On Tuesd,-tN.tl)e statement, that the last SUIIH due to the Emperor had been transmitted, gave rise to a report that the Russian Am- bassador was to be recalled from our Court; the funds declined in consequence and the political feeling was decidedly lInfavonrablc in the city. It was announced that four war- steamers had departed from the mouth of the Danube and the general ^mpression was, that the days of peace were at an ciid ;-ttiat the aggressive course of Russia would not lie arrested, except by the strong arm of force. Our ministers are said, how truly, we know not, to be again negotiating. A uote," on the basis of the V ienna document, drawn up Ity England and France, and which, it is said, liad been asseiite(I to by Russia, was sent to Constantinople, iiil teaclied the Porte early in last iiioittli. Lord de Redcliffe did not urge its acceptance, as the troops had crossed the Danube, and it was at once rejected by the Divan.— Another proposition is said to have been made bv Austria to the British Govern- ment, that, the two Western Powers should join her in inducing the Porte to consent to an armistice. If the Emperor of Russia would withdraw his troops, then there would be no objection to an armistice; but, it is quite evi- dent, that, neither in Wallacl.ia nor Asia, is Russia prepared to encounter the vicissitudes of war. In both quarters, the Turks have defeated the troops of the Emperor and an armistice IIOW, would merely he giving him time to strengthen his positions, and to recruit his troops. If there is to I)e %i,ai-it is the interest of Turkey to follow up her successes and the experience of the past, assures us, that there is no hope of peace, while the Uns- sians remain in the Principalities; unless that peace be based upon the surrender to the Czar of those privileges which it is impossible he can exercise without trampling upon the authority of the Sultan, and the independence of his empire. Yet even iu Constantinople, there is a mo- derate partv, we are told, which is inclined 10 accept any terms Eng-Ialld and France think advisable, and in conformity with the inter- ests of Turkey. This party, according to the cori,esl)ondeiitof the limes,' "speak openly of the crossing of the Danube being fraught with danger—the more so, that it has been inaugurated by a success which may tend to augment fatally, the self-confidence of the General and his troops." Fuad ElTendi is said to have been sent to the camp, by this party, for the purpose of checking the impe- tuosity of Omer Pasha,—and of restraining him from further acts of disobedience as it is affirmed, that he passed the Danube in de- fiance of official orders from Constantinople. — If this be true, if Russia has indeed a party in the capital of the Turkish empire,—that will thus fight the battles of the Czar,—it he- comes eien more necessary that the powers of Europe should assume a most decided (one and if necessary, organize as decided a force, to restrain Russian ambition, and maintain the balance of power as established by the treaty of Vienna,—a balance which the success of the Czar's schemes would entirely destroy. The Morning Chronicle1 avers that our miuisters are firmly united upon the question of preserving the integrity and independence of Turkey at all hazards. If so, the sooner they assume a decided line of conduct, the better. At present, as we are told by the Times,' England and France arc in a position, in which they may find themselves engaged in war, by some fortuitous rencontre on the Black Sea, or from any unforeseen contingency arising out of the present position of the fleets." The news this week from the seat, or rather "eats, of war is to the effect,-that in Asia, the Russians have been again seriously defeated. They made several attempts to retake the fortress of Chetketil, and were repulsed with immense loss.-III Wallaehia, the Turks, are, according to a despatch from Vienna, dated Monday, 24,000 strong, at Kalafat; and there had been no more fighting.

ROMAN CATHOLIC PRETENSIONS. We last week drew attention to the evident clashing which there must be, in the minds of all true Roman Catholics, between their alle- giance to the Pope and that due to the Sove- reigii under wliotit tticy lived and the effect of this divided allegiance is now exhibited in the Grand Duchy of Raden. A difference has arisen between the Grand Duke and the Archbishop of Freiburg, as to the right of appointment to ecclesiastical cures. The Archbishop claims the sole right to make those appointments, the exercise of which the Grand Duke prohibits, asserting his own rig-h t to make them through a Council of Roman Catholic Ecclesiastics. The Archbishop has re>orted to the weapon used in the palmy ages of the Church, when Sovereigns bowed the knee to the Pope — held his stirrups-and kissed his footstool: he has excommunicated the Grand Duke and the Council, and has ordered the pastoral letter, announcing this spiritual sentence, to be read in ail the places of worship in his diocese. The Grand Duke, on the other hand, has prohibited the Clergy from publishing or executing any decree of the Archbishop, under severe penalties. The Priests persisted in obeying their spiritual rather than their temporal head, and the au- thorities attempted to arrest the offenders. In most places, the peasantry have resisted the soldiers, and protected the Priests—rescu- ing them when taken into custody and the utmost excitement appears to have prevailed throughout the Diieliv. We apprehend that the time is pa-,t when that weapon, so powerful in the hands or Hildebrand or an Innocent, can be wielded with effect. Excommunication, with its frightful penalties, cannot be enforced in the 19th century all educated minds will revolt from it. The authority and pretensions of Rome have hitherto been advanced subtlety and secretly she has sapped, not stormed and we agree with our contemporary, the Times,' that the day that transforms the Church of Rome from an insidious under- miner to an open opponent, robs her of half her strength." By what is passing in Baden, we are enabled to ascertain what the working of the Roman Catholic principle fends to and we have no doubt that it will have the effect of iiiiii-iiio- both Sovereign and people in one strong' bond of resistance to principles which cannot but bring the spiritnal and tem- poral authorities into collision, unless the latter is brought into the most complete sub- jection to the former.

I THE LABOUR PARLIAMENT. We regret to find that the working men are about to take a step which their warmest friends cannot justify, and which must still further di- vide them from the employing class. At a meeting of working men, held at the People's Institute," Manchester, on Sunday evening week, it was resolved to institute what is to he called a Labour Parliament," to be "composed of de- legates to be elected by the working men of each town, in public meeting assembled," who are to meet in London, and their expenses, of course, to be defrayed by the contributions of those who elect them. This Parliament is to organize machinery for the support of operatives on strike, to lay down a specific plan of action for their guidance in their contests with their employers, and to propound some means to make labour independent of capital, and enable it to become independent, self-employing, and remunera- tive." These objects, it will be recollected, were those promulgated by the advisers of the amalgamated engineers;" and in the ruinous attempt to attain them, they expended the £ 25,000 which were in the hands of the com- mittee when the strike commenced, besides many thousands more which men in employ were induced—in most cases compelled--to give to support the turn-out." And what was the result? Not one object the men were struggling for was obtained some of the engi- neers emigrated—others returned to their work, cowed, broken-down, and impoverished whilst not a few became, and are, outcasts, and their families reduced from a state of comfort to one of utter poverty and distress. The objects which the proposers of this" la- bour parliament" set forth can never be ob- tained. The labourer can never, in this coun- try, be made independent of capital and, in any struggle between labour and capital, he must always come off worsted, because capital will continue to enable its holder to live, even if it be unemployed; but if the labourer is idle, he must starve, or become, with his family, dependent upon charity and the poor laws. It is quite true that, in a certain sense, labour and capital are dependent upon each other; the latter cannot be rendered productive without the application, directly or indirectly, of the former. But it can remain quiescent much longer than labour can, and, during the inter- val, the possessor has ample means of living, which the operative has not. Those, therefore, who strive to bring about a good understanding and mutual agreement between the capitalist and the labourer, are the true friends of the latter; whilst those who talk of rendering him independent of capital and self-employing, are his worst enemies, because they lead him to contemplate objects which can never be realized, and create and excite discontent under circum- stances in which it is much wiser and better to inculcate resignation and patient industry, which, will generally surmount all difficulties, and ena- ble the really honest and persevering man to live in a state of comfort, and to rear his family with a prospect of doing the same. The strikes which have occurred of late years have ahsolutely swallowed up a sum of more than TiiitEi: MILLIONS, which, if it had been placed in Savings Banks or Friendly Societies, would have ensured comfort to the working- men in old age, and ample assistance to their families after their death. The present strikes in Lancashire arc inflicting a dead loss of nearly .47)0,000 a week to the working men of that district; and one of several thousands to other operatives,who are contributing to their sup- port. What can compensate for this loss ? No- thing; and we earnestly exhort the men to give up their unions, and to avail themselves of the kind offers of the Clergy and others to restore them to good terms with their employers. The longer they remain unemployed, the greater their loss the Wore difficult will it be for them to regain their former position, and once more restore the blessings of a comfortable home, the reward of industry, to their families. We urge this course for the sake of the em- ployed, much more than for that of the em- ployers, who deserve little pity, as the working classes are really only carrying out principles which they have been the most active to incul- cate when they were to be directed against those who are superior in influence and rank to themselves.

CHURCH ACCOMMODATION IN BANGOIZ. i PUBLIC MEETING. On Wednesday last, at noon, pursuant to pub- :;c notice,*a meeting of the parishioners of Bangor was held at the National School Room, in this city, for the purpose of taking in to consideration the ex- treme desirableness of providing additional Church Accommodation for the increasing population of the town. Shortly after the time appointed, a numerous and influential company assembled at the place of meet- ing, amongst whom we observed The Right Rev. the Bishop the Very Rev. the Dean the Rev E. Pughe, Vicar; Rev. D. Evans; the Rev. E. Lewis; Rev. J. V. Vincent; the Hon. Colonel Pennant, M.P.; J. V. H Williams, Esq.; Messrs. H. LI. Jones, J. Richards, ;K Roberts, H. Morris Griffith, H. R. Hughes, i. I. Robertsand H. Morris, churchwardens, G James, T. Wilson. Bicknell, H. H. Price, J. Wright. B, hir- ley, B. Robinson, H. Matliers, G. Davies, R. Foulkes, A. R Martin, Thos. Evans. It. Pritchard, T. Davies, J. Brooks, Turner, Owen Roberts, M. Roberts, S. Hughes, Thos. Lewis, GriIHth Parry. &c &c. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bangor having been unanimously called upon to preside, took the chair, and proceeded to address the meeting. lie observed that the noticc convening the present meeting, as they were of course aware, stated that the object was for considering the desirability of pro- viding additional church accommodation for the in creasing population of this city and he hoped that the result of their deliberations would prove beneficial to the inhabitants, and their spiritual edification. (Hear, hear. There was at present but small Church accommodation for the large and rapidly increasing population of this extensive parish Within the past half century the population of the parish of Bangor had more than doubled in the first twenty years; and during the last twenty or twenty-three years the increase had continued upon a similar ratio. He would quote from the statistical returns from the last census, taken in 1851, ana the five pre- ceding returns, from which it would be seen that the increase of population in Bangor bad been steadily going on The first census was taken in 1801, and the last in 1851, with the following result 1801 Inhabitants—?770 }SJ I ditto -2.M3 1821. ditto — ;>7f) 1831 ditto 47.)1 j :8U. ditto -7:121 .3i ditto -7.')f!Ci (Hear). Ihusitwouid be seen that since the year 1821, the population had been more than doubled; and since the last census of 1851, three years had elapsed, during which period it was well known that the inhabitr,nts in the parish of Bangor h"d been still further augmented. Under these circumstances, there had not been a corresponding increase of Church accommodation-indeed, no addition what- ever; and the want of so necessary and essential a provision had now become imperative. (Hear, hear.) In 1811, the number of houses in Bangor was 1512-iii 1851, they amounted to IS19-shewing an increase in ten years of no fewer than 277, and of course there must be a proportionate number of additional families. Let them look at what was now being carried forward in regard to building. Within comparatively a few years a new town had sprnng up in their city-he referred to 'Upper Bangor," where, from his own grounds, he coul d see numerons buildings now being raised. (Hear.) It Iniht. therefore, fairly he calculated that as these buildings were completed, they would become occupied, and the population be still further increased within the boundary of the city. (Hear.) There was also a large population without the city boundary which had likewise been greatly increased during the past twenty years. Many of those places, too needed additional church accommodation, which would tend to the promotion of Church union and the spiiitual edification of the people. But the object of the present meeting confined them to this city, and directed their attention to the great necessity of providing increas- ed Church accommodation for the inhabitants. He could not, however, help observing that in the dis- tricts between Bangor and Caernarvon, and Bangor and Holyhead, there was a want of Church accom- modation and spiritual instruction. He ( tiie Bishop) had been present at the laying the foundation stone of a new Church at Holyhead a few weeks since, where the inhabitants had decided upon erecting a commodious and handsome edifice, and lie hoped that they would follow so good an example. ( Hear and cheers.) He would not further occupy the time of the meeting by observations of his own, but leave those gentlemen who would follow him to strengthen the cause by the expression of their sentiments and eloquence. His lordship sat down "mid applause. The Very Kev. the L*ean of liatigor rose and pro- posed the first resolution, as follows l'hat to meet the wants of our increased population, it is desirable that a new church should be built in Bang or." The Dean observed that the Bishop had anticipated what he intended to have said on the occasion. He need therefore scarcely add that with what had fallen from his lordship lie perfectly agreed. He would, however, express his desire that the good work they I had in view would ill due time be realised, and that men's minds would be opened to the importance of affording assistance in its accomplishment: and that, by God's blessing, great good would be the result, and he hoped it would be extended throughout the parih, (Hear.) The Rev. Evan Pughe, Vicar of Bangor, se- conded the resolution, with which he most cordially agreed. lie would state, briefly, his reasons for advocating the erection of a new Church. During the 211 years preceding the last census, (as the Lord Bishop had informed them,) the inhabi- tants of this parish had been more than doubled; and since that period the population had advanced at an increasing rate. (Hear.) They all agreed that there should be a new Church, and lie hoped they would retire from the meeting with the conviction that there would be one. (Cheers.) The hope wis but reasonable; for if their present Church, fitted up as it was for Cathedral and parochial purposes, sufficed for Bangor when it was a village, surely some ampler and more extensive spiritual provision ought to he made for it, now that its population reached nearly | 10,000 souls. (Hear, hear.) Thc Inaximulll amount allotted to each working clergyman, was two thou- sand persons, consequently there ought, to be four or five working clergymen for this parish, exclusive of the staff belonging to the Cathedral, which, he apprehended, should be looked upon, in most respects at least, as a distinct Ecclesiastical insti- tution They were all aware, a, his lordship had clearly proved, that the population of this parish had rapidly increased of late years. The tem- poral requirements were such that an Act of Par- liament had been obtained for a larger supply of water for the inhabitants, and a new gasometer was also to be erected in the course of next year. Seeing, then, that these things were taking place, how much more strong and cogent were the reasons for additional chu ch accommodation -if things spiritual were to keep pace with thi gs temporal. (Hear, hear.) Hut then arose Oie question, what kind or church were they to have? Some would wish to have an exclusively Welsh Church; andit iiad I been reported, to the prejudice of this meeting, that the object contemplated by the promoters of the new Church, was to exclude the "relh congre- gation from the Cathedral. He nced not inform the meeting that such rumour ves too absurd to require refutation. (Hear.) If there were anew ] Church, it must be for a new congregation, for their object should be. not to retrograde, bit to gain ground-to extend, not to limit, the spiritual instruc- tion and influence of the Church, so as to render it commensurate with the wants of the people, as well as the capabilities and resources of the piace. (H ear.) But there were olhe.s who were dc.irous I that the new Chmch sholld be exclu,(¡'I' EngHsh. These, however, were points upon which it was pre- mature to .e?,?Izite or to raise a dicnssion. The services of a Church should be regulated by the re- quirements of the people; and as oil,. population is bi -lingual, he thought the services of the new Church should be bi-lingnal also and he might mention it as i.is oivn convje'ion, that nothing could be more conducive to the spiritual interests of the place, than an English service at six o'clock in the evening, whieh might be easily had, if they succeeded in their present object. (Hear.) He considered it a privi- lege to attend this meeting, which, although com- paratively small in number, was great in point of influence; and they should remember that fre- quently from small beginnings great results followed. (Hear.) He trusted that such would be the result of that meeting, and that by God's blesssing, their deliberations would tend to promote the spiritual and temporal interests of Bangor. (Hear and ap- plause.) The Bishop having put the resolution to the meet- ing in the usual way, it was carried unanimously. The Hon. Col. Pennant, M. P., rose to propose the next resolution. The Lonl Bishop had very ably stated that additional church accommodation was necessary in Bangor; and the returns which his lordship had quoted clearly showed the rapid in- crease of the population. They had also heard his lordship express a hope that they would not be be- hind their neighbours in reference to providing church accommodation for the inhabitants; and having passed a resolution declaring that a new church was necessary in Bangor, a re ben placed in his hands that fouowed?"? viz .-the appomtment of a committee t nc first first resolution into effect. He would l<!COn* that, whate ver plan should be adopted '6' Iar system be fixed upon, and that in tiief! of a committee, the lu mber of gentlemen should not c ceed more than was a ctu,,I]3, for the transaction of business, fr he bd,lIcCl" the success of their meetings would a g(¡OI::d pend upon what he had suggested.
