Meade, D.D.; Secretary to the REPRESENTATIVE CHURCH BODY (INCORPORATED 1870), THE CHURCH OF IRELAND.-The following particulars respecting the condition of the Irish Church at the present time will be interesting to those persons who desire to prevent Disestabishment in England and Wales, equally with those who desire to promote that measure. The Church of Ireland, which by the Act of Union became united with the Church of England on the 1st of January, 1801, was separated from the Church of England, disestablished, and to a large extent disendowed, on the 1st of January, 1871, by the Irish Church Act of 1869. 1,500 1,000 Of the former property of the Church of Ireland, £5.376,362 has been appropriated by various Acts of Parliament, as follows:-To intermediate education, £1,000,000; pension fund for National School teachers, £1,300,000; distress works, £1,266,000; Royal University of Ireland, £600,000; arrears of rent, £950,000; sea fisheries, £250,000; distressed poor-law unions, £10,362. The supreme governing body of the Church of Ireland is the General Synod, which meets annually, and is composed of the Archbishops and Bishops, and 208 clerical and 416 lay representatives. Subject to the General Synod are 21 Diocesan Synods, which are assisted in the management of the affairs of their respective dioceses by smaller elected bodies called Diocesan Councils. Every male member of the Church of Ireland, over 21 years of age, may become a registered vestryman. The registered vestrymen of each parish elect a select vestry, who manage the secular affairs of the parish. They also elect lay representatives for the Diocesan Synod. The incumbent of the parish is appointed by a board of nomination, consisting of 7 persons, viz-The Bishop, 3 diocesan nominators (2 clerical and lay) appointed by the Diocesan Synod, and three parochial nominators (lay) appointed by the registered vestrymen of the parish. The Bishop of the diocese is chosen by the clerical and lay members of the Diocesan Synod. The Primate is chosen by the 'bench of Bishops from amongst their own number. The financial trustees of the Church are the representative body, composed of the Archbishops and Bishops, 13 clergymen and 26 laymen, chosen by the Diocesan representatives in the General Synods, with 13 co-opted members (clerical or lay). This body holds the property of the Church, and administers its funds, subject to the General Synod. The number of members of the Church of Ireland in 1881 was 639,574. The Book of Common Prayer, in use by the ' United Church of England and Ireland before Disestablishment, has been revised and slightly altered by the General Synod, for the use of the Church of Ireland, the 39 Articles of Religion remaining unchanged. Shortly after Disestablishment the Church Commissioners, in whom the entire Church property was vested by the Act of 1869, paid over to the Representative Body about seven and a half millions of "commutation money," charged with annuities, to the then existing clergy, amounting to about £600,000 a year. A further sum of half a million capital was similarly paid as compensation for private endowments. The invested capital now held by the Representative Body is over seven millions, the income from which is £290,000 per annum. The annual contributions for five years past have averaged £163,000. The amount contributed since Disestablishment is three millions and a quarter. The Commutation Fund is now reduced to two millions, and the annuities to £130,000. The stipends under the new system, which have been gradually replacing the annuities, now amount to nearly £220,000 per annum.
