desire some CHARITY in Shepherds of the Sheep; they do not indeed expect the simplicity of a Parson Adams, in a Spiritual Lord, but they look for an example of that charity which “thinketh no evil,” and which “rejoiceth in the truth.” What is a Bishop but a “tinkling cymbal,” if not endowed with moral courage to set his face like flint against vague imputations, and ignorant prejudices? The Rt. Rev. Lord of Farnham Castle is energetic enough in pouncing upon, and worrying Deacons and Curates, and can deprive them of their licenses with a celerity not very edifying. Why not exhibit equal alacrity in enforcing the law against the Vicar of Camberwell, a Parish for thirteen years without a Resident Vicar? “Dat veniam corvis, vexat censura columbas.” Why clip the wings of the dove, but give the raven, or vulture free course? MR. DALTON has sent me some statistics of the Liverpool Lending Libraries. Total number of volumes 26,009. Individuals entitled to use the Libraries, 8,594. Number of volumes lent during the week, April 18th 1860, 9,520. The pleasure derived by the sick, and those out of work, in being able to borrow books to read at their own homes is constantly coming under the notice of the Librarian. A person out of employment thus writes: “Were I to be deprived of the use of books from your excellent Libraries, my life would become only a burthen and a blank.” Ladies and Gentlemen, My task is done, and it is time to bid you adieu! “Et vix sustinuit dicere lingua Vale!” That word “Farewell” is always difficult to pronounce. Once again I beseech you to REVERSE the decision of 1856. Many anxious eyes near and far off, are watching how you will vote on this occasion; do not disappoint their hopes, do not frustrate the intentions of the Legislature! _Liberavi animam meam_. I have discoursed at some length from the same text, but I trust, though unavoidably discursive, you have not found me a tedious FEILDE Preacher. Need I remind you of the opportune reduction of the rates of halfpenny in the pound in the Parish rental. If you look at this question only as a Ratepayer, it must be gratifying to know that your money goes for Libraries rather than for Dungeons, for the supply of Books and Newspapers, NOT for the support of paupers. Need I remind you how favourable to the cause I am feebly advocating is the fact, that as a Nation we are _now_ enjoying unexampled Prosperity and unbroken Peace! If, as I have shown, none should be entrusted with the Franchise who cannot read or write, do not grudge a trifling rate which would aid this great cause. Do not forget that a RATE SUPPORTED NEWS ROOM is a step, nay, a stride, in the direction of the INSTRUCTION OF ALL. Yes, the time is propitious! The course is clear before you—the race is glorious to run! “Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been— A sound which makes us linger;—yet—farewell!”
