Of our church establishment we have nothing to 

 say disparagingly, and can speak in very favourable 

 terms of the clergy in general. 



The Episcopal is the established Church in Ber- 

 muda. It is comprised in the see of Newfoundland, 

 and the clergy are maintained on fixed salaries voted 

 by the legislature, and voluntary contributions of 

 the people. 



The rectories are five, and there are ten churches, 

 and also five Episcopal chapels. In the parish of 

 Warwick there is a Presbyterian kirk, also a smaller 

 one in Hamilton. The Wesleyans have a fine chapel 

 in the town of St. George, a commodious one in 

 Hamilton, and seven smaller places of worship
