It has been pronounced therefore, by the unanimous voice of a numerous meeting, to be in the highest degree expedient and desirable, that this Society should continue its exertions. In obedience to that voice, it now solicits further aid; and it appeals to the public with the greater confidence from the success which has attended its past labours. Those who concurred in the first formation of the Society, because the design was good, will the more readily continue their support, when they now see that the design has been carried into good effect. The appeal is made to them, and to every friend of the Established Church; it is made, indeed, to all who think, that to encourage and facilitate attendance on public worship, is to promote the best in Society's Office, 15, Duke-street, Westminster, 2d June, 1824. £3108 15 0 have on all occasions defended the doctrines and interests of the Church of England; the enlightened benevolence with which you have stood forward as the advocate and patron of all public charities; the unwearied labour with which you have visited every parish in your widely extended diocese, and conferred the greatest advantages upon the Church by improvement of all parochial buildings, have commanded universal approbation and respect. And the kindness and attention which you have uniformly shewn to the Clergy of every rank under your pastoral care, demands from us personally the assurance of our dutiful affection for your Episcopal character. Although these sentiments occasion regret on your Lordship's separation from us, we are yet fully aware that after twelve years of most laborious exertion in this extensive and populous diocese, it is but due to your Lordship that you should be translated to a see of ampler revenue and less toilsome duty; and we most respectfully congratulate your Lordship on having received from your Sovereign this testimony of his Majesty's approbation of your meritorious services, You leave the see of Chester with the affectionate good wishes of the Clergy of the diocese, and we pray to God that he will long preserve to your Lordship that valuable life, and those faculties of mind which have hitherto been employed, under the Divine blessing, with such good effect for the interest of virtue and religion, and the maintenance and support of our established Church. Signed in the name, and by the unanimous request, of a numerous meeting of the Clergy of the deaneries of Richmond and Catterick, assembled at Richmond by public advertisement. 66 (Answer.) MY REV. BRETHREN,-I have read your Valedictory Address" with the warmest feelings of affectionate regret. The assurance that I bear away with me the esteem and good wishes of the Clergy of my late diocese, is the most gratifying return I could have received, for all my anxiety and endeavours, to promote the interest of themselves and of those committed to their care. I feel most sensibly at this moment of separation, that the tie which binds together a Bishop and his Clergy, is of a peculiar and a hallowed nature. For 12 years we have been fellow-labourers in the vineyard of our Lord. After such an intercourse, it is with a most painful effort that I now say-Farewell. But before we part, accept my gratitude-my affection-my respect. And be assured, that whilst memory holds its seat within me, I shall never cease to pray for the happiness, temporal and eternal, of the Clergy of the diocese of Chester. GEO. H. BATH and WELLS.
