The Archbishop of Canterbury objects to grants of public money

to various religious denominations in the Colonies. His Grace told Nor- manby, in the House of Lords, that sects ought not be be put upon an equality with the Church. In so far as the State recognizes other de- nominations by giving money to them as well as the Church, the claim of the Establishment to exclusive patronage is, no doubt, disregarded; but as respects the amount of aid contributed, there is nothing like equality-all sects are not put on the same footing ; as we learn from the subjoined table, extracted front a Parliamentary paper of the last session. It shows the sum annually paid to different denominations in each colony.

It appears that in Upper Canada, where, as Lord Durhom's Report declares, the members of the Anglican Church are a minority, the sum of 7,4761. 15.s. 10d. is allotted to them, while the Church of Scotland receives only 2,1181., and the Church of Rome 1,600/. Out of the total 168,2421. 13s. 5d. the Church of England gets 134,4501. 10s. I ld.- the lion's share certainly. The venerable Primate had no cause to grumble at the proportions in which the grants were divided among the different religious denominations. Referring to the detailed ac- count attached to the table, we find that it is not to the numbers of the clergy, so much as to the higher rate of payment, that the excess of the Church receipts is to be attributed. At Gibraltar, a Catholic Vicar- General and four other clergymen divide 300/. ; while two Chaplains to the Garrison, belonging to the Church of England, obtain in salary and allowances 745/. 7s. 4d. In the Ionian Islands, three Chaplains of the Establishment receive 6851.; and three Roman Catholic Chaplains 911. At the Cape, the sum given to the Dutch Church is 5,547/. 2s. 2d., but it is divided among twenty-three ministers; while six English clergymen take 2,313/. 15s. The Dutch are paid at the rate of 241/. ; the English 3851. Ia Upper Canada, twenty-six clergymen of the Church of Scotland are paid 571. per annum each, amounting to ;48.1 the salaries of the English Church clergy vary from 100/ to 34.-,6'; s great majority being 170/., and the total 7,4761. 15s. 10d, The 011d 1,0001. is paid to the Roman Catholic Bishop to he divided se; twenty-nine clergymen of his church in Upper Canada, in yeo8 foundland, the Venerable the Archdeacon is paid 300/.; she Catholic Bishop 75/. And so it runs throughout the Colonies °C;' plaints, at any rate, should not conic from the Established Chur.cht% perhaps the Bishops and Archdeacons, now in England. Would actwisely in pocketing their salaries and saying little about them. -
