THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF,in presenting A Petition against the abolition of church rates, without the substitution of a sufficient equivalent, took the opportunity 29 to correct a misunderstanding which prevailed with reference to a Bill on the subject of church rates laid on the table of the House last year by the most rev. Prelate (the Archbishop of Canterbury). It had been generally understood that that measure had received the sanction of the whole of the Episcopal Bench, and a statement had been made that those Bishops to whom it had been submitted had not objected to it. He, however, had the misfortune not to take the same view with regard to that measure as the most rev. Prelate. He was sure the most rev. Prelate would excuse him for recalling to his recollection the fact. He (the Bishop of Llandaff) begged to disclaim any participation in the Bill.
