Rumor states that the John street Meth- odists and the Episcopal Methodists are also about to build, but nothing definite is yet to be known.

At present they hold service in St. Andrew's church, formerly occupied by a branch of the Old Kirk. The Baptists have pur- chased the Church built by the OldiK irk, situated on James street, for $21,709, but there is some difficulty in referenceta the title, which is likely to make the sale null and void. The old court house is in ruins, and workmen are busily engaged in clearing away the rubbish and making ready for the building of the new struc- ture, which is to be proceeded with at once. " 1 The Spectator, which has so iplig been struggling for an existence is bidding fair to be no ordinary rival to the Times. The latter has had pretty much its own way for the last few years,' but the Spec- tator under the new management; with Mr. G-ardiner, formerly of the London Advertiser, as Editor -in -.Chief, is showing - , signs of real life and advancement. The Ocean House, the lOaklands, and the Beach still continue to be the favor- ite resort for pleasure seekers. The Bay steamers have now a rivel in conveying passengers thereto, in the Hamilton and Northwestern Railway, which runs sev- eral trains daily, to those places. The effigies of two of our citizens were burned on Monday night. It appears that an old man who keeps a flour and feed store on king street became enam- ored with his servant girl, and when re- mthastrated with by his wife ,gave her a severe beating, and this has been Tepeat- ed for several ,weeks. Lately the old man has rented a house for the girl and spends a good deal of his tine, it is said, with her. The community were !indig- nant, and expressed their indignation by burning their effigies, as stated. The great subject of interest here now is the temperance movement, which has been going on for several weeks, and which is doing a great deal of good. Over 1,500 have already signed the pledge. A large number are persons who have been very hard drinkers. It is impossible to estimate the good that is being done. The nietings are crowded, and are ad- dressed usually by the reformed men themselves -some of whom are !really talented. At present the meetings are held in a large tent, capable of holding one thousand persons, frequently. there are hundreds who cannot gain admittance. Messrs: Haskett and Hurd, from New Hampshire, are the leaders in the,move- ment. D. 13. Chisholm, Esq., is the' Presi- dent of the Club, and is very active in the work. It is intended to submit the Dunkin bill to the electors at no very distant day.. There is no doubt but a fierce fight will ensue, but it is quite gen- erally thaught that with the present tem- perance revival, the bill will carry in Hamilton. Trouble in the Bnglish Church. The proceedinge in the Synod of the Diocese of Toronto last week show that the breach between what .is called the Evangelical section of the Church and those who are considered the High Church party is gradually growing wider. When the Synod assembled for business, Dr. Hodgins, who had for sev- eral years been Lay Secretary, was dis- displacecl on no other ground than that he wan a member of the ChurchlAss?- ciation, whose sympathies were fully in accord with the party who are opposed to the policy of the Bishop and the cler- gymen who support him and the- Trinity College. This gave rise to considerable feeling, and the consequence Was that Vice Chancellor Blake and one other prominent lay member of the Synod declined to act on the com- mittees for which they were elected, on the ground that their party was so mis- erably represented as to leave them no voice in the proceedings. The Bishop in his annual address re- fers to the dissensions in the church. Unable any longer to shut his eyes to them he deals with them in a half -fright- ened. way, unwilling to condemn, yet forced to acknowledge that the breach is one of serious import, ancl fraught with still more serious consequences. He speaks of the effects of the present di- vision as "terrible." "By the acts of in opposing power within us," he says, "di- visions in this diocese have already reached a painful extent." And these divisions, he declares, are not "for the majesty and holiness of truth, but .fer selfish aims and party dominancy," Again, the organizations to which he re- fers are characterized as "adverse," and sary, but on the other hand the members of the Church Association claim that it is, and judging from the enthusi sm I manifested at its meeting last week, we should be inclined , to say that it m ni- feats a power and vigor and a spirit en- tirely foreign to those who oppose it. The breach is indeed a serious ne. The slumbering elements of discord h ve long been kept down, but they canne be concealed any longer. The Church As- sociation has become aggressive and will not be kept down. It exhibits a vitality and a power that cannot be found amsimg the old stand -still and do-nothing mm - berg of the High Church party. he Bishop seems, utterly unequal to he emergency. Himself thoroughly im- bued with High Church ideas, but with- out the courage to openly avow' them, he stands powerless and unable to grape ple with the difficulty. Meanwhile the Church Association is going ' on with its work. Active, vigorous, determined to succeed, and impressed with the belief that they are laboring in a good cause, they are gradually cutting one by one the very roots which underlie the basis of the Church of England, and are form- ing a strong party which nominally claims to belong to the Church, while they are at the same time acting in de- fiance of its laws and without its authority. ° Canada.
