satisfaction superior to all the pleasures derived from pomp and pageantry, and riotous abundance.

What becomes of all that wealth which has been bestowed on the Bishops, Deans, and many of the Rectors of the Episcopal church; the one half of which would go a great way towards meliorating the condition of the lower class of the population of Ireland? When the lands, and other emoluments were first allotted to the bishops, it was, on the provision, that the one half, or at least the one third of the proceeds should be devoted to the poor. This appears to be admitted by the benevolent Archbishop of Tuam, in his evidence stated above. "If the church lands," says the Archbishop, "be re-appropriated to the original destination, a large fund would be supplied to the support of the people." And would not the one half, of incomes amounting to eight, ten, fifteen, or twenty thousand pounds annually, be quite sufficient for any order of ministers belonging to the Christian church? That such an appropriation has never yet been voluntarily made, even when the most urgent demand for it existed-seems to indicate, that there is a glaring want of Christian principle and benevolence, even among the ministers of the Christian church.
