Ely, shew the distribution of the society's

books and tracts for 1837, as under

574 Bibles,

585 Testaments,

1,491 Prayer Books,

12,277 other Books and Tracts. Cambridge Chronicle.

CHESHIRE.

The Rev. William Richardson, for fiftythree years the reverend vicar of St. John's, has bequeathed the very munificent sum of 6001. for the purpose of purchasing an organ for that church.-Chester Gazette.

An elegant silver inkstand has just been presented by the parishioners of Alderley, to the Right Reverend Edward Stanley, D.D., Lord Bishop of Norwich, as a tribute of regard to him, who had been their faithful and zealous pastor and universal friend during a period of thirtytwo years.-Chester Courant.

DERBYSHIRE.

Seven clergymen, in the county of Derby, (of whom six are curates,) have signed a petition to the House of Commons, for the entire abolition of pluralities except in the case of livings with a population under one hundred persons, and for a re distribution of church property. They pray the House of Commons for this purpose to allow patrons to take from their larger livings, &c. It is not worth while to give more of their petition. This general statement will quite suffice.

DEVONSHIRE.

The Vicar of Plymouth baving sanctioned a subscription for the purpose of building another church in that populous district, in a few days the subscription amounted to 1700l., of which one subscription, without the donor's name, was for 5001.-Salisbury Herald.

DURHAM

DURHAM.

UNIVERSITY.-There were recently announced for public competition. nine competitors for the two scholarships

At the conclusion of the examination the scholarships were adjudged to Robert Thompson Featherstonehaugh.-Durham Advertiser.

BISHOPRIC OF SODOR AND MAN-A meeting of the clergy was held on Wednesday, February 14th, in Bishop Cosin's library, and was numerously attended.Archdeacon Thorp, in opening the meeting, said, "I have called you together in pursuance of a requisition which I hold in my hand, and which I have reason to know accords with the sentiments and

feelings of the great body of the clergy of this part of the diocese. And our business is to petition the two Houses of Parliament in favour of a bill, now in the Upper House, for preserving the Bishopric of Sodor and Man." The archdeacon then stated the circumstances which rendered such a petition desirable.

DR. SMITH, Prebendary of Durbam, moved the adoption of the petition, and dwelt upon the evils about to be inflicted on the Manx church, some of which we might be the more sensible of from the injury we have ourselves sustained by the withdrawal of the episcopal revenues from this diocese.

MR. PROFESSOR CHEVALLIER seconded the resolution in a speech of some length and great ability, in which he enlarged, from personal observation, upon the advantages the Manx church and people had derived from the residence of the bishop, to whom they were deeply attached, and who was the centre of their society and the leader of all their valuable institutions. Among other acts of the late bishop, he had instituted a college under his superintendence, which afforded a liberal education to 200 young men, and which would not have been called into action without the bishop's personal exertions.

Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting before its separation; and the petition was adopted.

ESSEX.

IMPORTANT TO THE UNMARRIED.-It should seem that the New Marriage Act has not yet exercised a very dire influence over the ecclesiastical interests of the populous and extensive parish of Great Burstead, which includes the town of Billericay; for it so chances that during the last six months there have been a greater number of weddings in the parish church than have taken place there within the same period for the last twenty years. It is, moreover, a singular fact, that the Rev. J. Thomas, the vicar of Great Burstead, has granted more marriage licenses for the surrounding neighbourhood since the above-mentioned act came into operation, than for the same space of time ever since he has acted as a surrogate, now upwards of fourteen years.-Chelmsford Chronicle.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

The following passages are extracted from the last annual report of the GLOUCESTER & BRISTOL DIOCESAN CHURCH BUILDING ASSOCIATION, presented to the

meeting held at Bristol in December,

1837.

The subscription collected in the whole diocese amounts at present to above 13,000l., in donations; a sum which has been contributed in nearly equal proportions by the two Archdeaconries of Bristol and Gloucester. It must not be

omitted, that, of the whole sum contributed, more than 4000l. arises from the donations of the clergy, who must be allowed to have set in this instance a signal example of that Christian liberality which they recommend to others.

"Besides these donations, annual subscriptions on behalf of the association have been instituted in many places of the diocese: a measure which your committee hope will soon become general, as being the means to which they look, under the blessing of Providence, for the permanent existence and efficiency of the association.

"The extensive parishes of St. James, St. Philip and Jacob, and St. Paul, in the city of Bristol, containing an extremely large population of the poorer classes, and having very few inhabitants possessed of much worldly substance, seem to call most loudly for the early exertions of this institution and unless the committee be enabled to initiate and to carry on the good work in these parishes, they see little hope of the requisite church accommodation being obtained. The first difficulty which meets them in these and most other cases is that of procuring a proper site for a new church,-the price set upon land in populous neighbourhoods being so high as to make a purchase by the committee hardly practicable. They still however rely upon the effect of benevolent feeling and attachment to the estab lished church, in the minds of public bodies and of individuals possessing land in such districts.

"The committee have the satisfaction to report the prompt and handsome manner in which the dean and chapter of Bristol have acceded to their application, by freely giving up their interest in a certain piece of land near King's Parade, in the parish of Clifton, held under them on the tenure of a single life: this is an eligible site for a new district church, for a considerable and growing population, near the Limekilns on Durdham Down. They trust that they shall meet with corresponding liberality on the part of the lessees of the dean and chapter; in which case this desirable work may be undertaken with little delay.

"The committee have likewise a pros

pect of the gratuitous grant of a site for a new district church at Hillesley, in the parish of Hawkesbury, where there is a large population removed at such a distance from their parish church as almost to exclude them from the benefits of the establishment. They also hope to be able to promote the erection of a church at Hanham, in the populous parish of Bitton." At the First General Annual Meeting held at Gloucester, January 3rd, 1838, the following paragraph was contained in the report presented to that meeting :—

"Your committee bas originated schemes for the erection of new churches in the populous manufacturing village of Horsley; at Whiteshill in the parish of Stroud; in High Orchard, adjoining the Docks of the City of Gloucester; in the Hamlets of Longford and Twigworth; and in a populous part of the parish of Leckhampton. In all these, additional places of worship are much required, and we entertain sanguine hopes of being able, by God's blessing, to effect each of the desired objects. Several other applications have been made for the assistance of the association, to which your committee have anxiously attended, but have been hitherto prevented by different obstacles from placing matters in a successful train. The first and most material difficulty which meets them in the majority of cases is that of procuring a proper site for a new church; the price set upon land in populous neighbourhoods being so high as to make a purchase by the committee hardly practicable. In many instances, as at Leckhampton, at Long. ford, and at Twigworth, gratuitous offers of land have been most handsomely made by generous proprietors; in other cases, the committee rely upon the influence of a benevolent feeling and an attachment to the established church, on the part of public bodies and of individuals, who possess land in such districts. Those proprietors cannot fail to see that, in giving sites for new churches, while they confer the greatest of all blessings upon their tenants, they will likewise materially enhance the value of their property in the vicinity.

HEREFORDSHIRE.

The Bishop of Llandaff has subscribed 2001. for the enlargement of Chepstow church, and the inhabitants of the town nearly 1,000l.-Hereford Journal.

KENT.

A vestry meeting was held on the 1st of February, in the Town Hall, Ramsgate, for the purpose of granting an ordinary

church-rate. In the absence of the vicar, his churchwarden was called to the chair. A rate of 2d. in the pound, according to the old rating, was moved and seconded: when, according to annual custom, and in a speech annually inflicted on the meeting, George Hinds, Esq., once chairman of the reform committee, and professing to be a churchman, moved an adjournment of the question for twelve months. This was seconded by a dissenter, no less a character than the new liberal magistrate. After a considerable display of oratory, and a recommendation from one person of no small importance to the dissenters to give all their opposition to the rate, the question of adjournment was negatived, and the rate carried by a most triumphant majority; there being at least two to one in its favour.-Kentish Observer.

LANCASHIRE.

PARLIAMENTARY GRANT TO THE COLLiverpool have addressed a prayer to both LEGE OF MAYNOOTH.-The protestants of

Houses of the British Parliament to withdraw the parliamentary grant to the college of Maynooth. The petitioners, after setting forth the failure of the college, both as a political experiment and as a seminary for education, moral and religious, state," that the class books, as used by authority in Maynooth college, contain a system of ethics, so inverted and unchristian, as to encourage criminality and

indecency, to render property under the British crown insecure, to exalt perjury, under certain circumstances, into the rank of a supposed virtue, and to make allegiance to their church to take precedence of loyalty to our sovereign."-Manchester
