Address of the Presbyterian Church in Cork , to his Grace the Archbishop . ofCashel 9 on his'Primary Visitation Charge , with hisGrace ' s Answer . WE have perused with lively interest the following address and
reply , and , deem tjiem worthy of permanent ' : record in our Repository ' . The Archbishop of Cashei seems to hold the same noble moral rank in the Irish Chunm , that the Bishop of
Norwich does in the English . * feuch men are not only the ornament , but also the defence , 'of their respective com munions . The Address and Rep \ y have been sent to us in a Cork pewspaper , and we insert the introduction to them which we here find .

" The documents which we subjoin ^ comprising the Address of the Presbyterian Congregation of this city to the Archbishop of Cashel , and his Grace ' s answer thereto , possess peculiar interest—indeed we may add importance—at the present moment . It is soothing , in the midst of the
religious strife which . is waging in this unfortunate country , to find , at least , one set of Christians claiming for themselves , and conceding to others , the right of exercising conscience in all spiritual matters ^ and paying a tribute of * approbation to the instructive lessens of kindness and
conciliation which la * ely proceeded from the distinguished prelate whom they have addressed . It is equally , if not more gratifying , to witoess the kindred spirit which pervades the reply of this -distinguished personage . We do not
think that the visitation charge of his Grace , which is the subject of eulogy by the Presbyteriaa body ,, and which , doubtless , our readers have fresh in their Tcmembrance , will have made a , greater impression on the public mind / -than this brief 'but j * ea * itift * i record of true . Christian feeling and
opinion . " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR GRACE , (| l We , the Ministers and "Elders of thfe Presbyterian Church in Cork , assfcrisbled in our first knxhial Vestry
? T % e * ft » wler will not fail to reteojlect the Addties ^ of the Eastern Unitai ^ m Society to the Bishop of Norwich , with the B ^ hop * rf Answer , inserted " Mon . Repos . XVII . 521 , $ m .

since your Grace ' s arrival Hi Ireland , beg leave , to , offer to your Grace cmr respgctfiii congratulations on thatevent . " Dissenting " , for conscience' sake , from that national Chufch in which
your Grace enjoys elevated rank ; yet firmly believing that ihe see 4 s . of $ alvatiou ; are sown in every church \ vbich ' confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the JPather / and that it is of far less importance to auv
society or Christians to say , that * they are of Paul / they are * of Apojlos / they are ' of Cephas' —than that they are f of Christ' ; we feel ourselves called upon to express our approbation of those- sentiments of Christian
chanty and love , breathed throughout your Grace ' s Primary Visitation Charge—sentiments which must characterise the first act-of your Grace ' s Archiepiscopal functions , net only as an admonition . worthy of distinguished literary talent , but also honourable to the feelings of your Grace ' s heart . € t
The liberal and enlightened views of Christian brotherhood which tljat admonition holds to all tine disciplfes of tke Lord Jesus t Christ , alre calculated to cairn the tumults caused by the bursts of intemperate , zeal—to repress that spiritual intolerance so unbecoming in the Christian minister , and to inculcate in the minds of all
those ^ who are labouring in % he vineyard of their great Master—that , as as they are fellow-travellers through & world of tri& )*; they are fellow-sharers of errors , ^ e ^ ne ^ ses and infirmitie s ; and , though differing . in dpinion ia what yemr Grace ha ' d denominated forms n ^ xt ^ S'sjential to salvation /
yet are they , fellow-worshipers of the satne God , fejlow-epcpectants of the same mercy > th ^ ou ^ h at Redeemer , and therefore dwell in tjie unity of the spirit And the hoftd of peace . " Although fully ; cortscious that your Grace , ? in the di ^ chiaj-flpe of your high pastoral --duties , Vse ^ fes not the
