In a Convocation holden on Thursday last, it was unanimously agreed to affix the seal of the University to the following humble Petition to the Honourable the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland : To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble Petition of the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Oxford, Sheweth, That your petitioners most humbly and earnestly beg leave to call the attention of your honourable house to the depressed and declining state of the church in the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. They would respectfully observe, that the number of clergymen in those extensive provinces was never, as they conceive, adequate to the effective performance of their spiritual duties towards a widely-scattered population; whilst, under the progressive operation of existing arrangements, that establishment is undergoing a reduction which must eventually terminate in its extinction: at the same time, they deeply lament that no provision has been made, or is proposed, for affording religious instruction, and the means of divine worship, to the multitudes of new settlers whom the inducements wisely held out by the legislature are annually encouraging to emigrate. Your petitioners apprehend, that the spiritual wants created by this rapidly-increasing population had not been anticipated by parliament when the grant for the support of the church in Canada was reduced; and they see no reason to expect that the reserved lands, which had been originally designed for the maintenance of the clergy, can, for a long course of years, if ever, be made available for that purpose. Your petitioners also contemplate with pain and sorrow the prospect of even the partial extinction of the episcopal office, much more the total withdrawing of the parental superintendence of a resident bishop from a country thus imperfectly supplied with those means of sound religious knowledge which it is the obvious duty of a Christian state to afford to its membeis, especially when they recollect the vast spiritual benefits derived from the zealous and faithful discharge of the episcopal functions by that diligent and self-denying prelate, the late Bishop of Quebec. Your petitioners, therefore, earnestly entreat that your honourable house will be pleased to take into consideration the present state of the ecclesiastical establishment in the Canadas, confidently trusting that the wisdom and religious feeling of the representatives of Great Britain and Ireland will lead them to adopt measures which may extend to the church of those provinces that protection and encouragement which the contracted resources of an infant and increasing colony, craving for the blessings of the Christian ordinances, so imperatively require. And your petitioners will ever pray. Given at our Convocation House, under our Common Seal, this thirty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1838. A Congregation will be holden on Tuesday, July 3rd, solely for the purpose of admitting Inceptors to their Regency.
