The following grace was passed : Van Mildert Scholarships.-In consideration of two several sums of money given to the university by the subscribers to a scholarship and the subscribers to a monument, in memory of the late bishop Van Mildert, two scholarships shall be founded of the annual value of 50. each, to be called the Van Mildert scholarships. The first scholar on this foundation shall be elected in June, 1842; and there shall be no further elections on the old foundation. Regulations were passed for the election to the Van Mildert scholarships. The following grace was passed: Gisborne Scholarship.-The rev. Thomas Gisborne, M.A., canon of Durham, having placed 5007. at the disposal of the dean and chapter for the benefit of the university, and the dean and chapter having determined that this sum should be applied to the foundation of a scholarship, it is agreed, that 1007. previously given to the university by Mr. Gisborne, shall be added to the above sum, and that, in consideration of these gifts, a scholarship shall be founded of the annual value of 30, to be called the Gisborne scholarship. That the warden and senate shall have authority to make regulations respecting the Gisborne scholarship. are sure will be participated in by all our readers, that we record the death of the bishop of Chichester, which took place on Friday evening, the 7th instant, at his episcopal palace, after an illness of very short duration. His lordship had been slightly indisposed for a few days, but without any symptoms to occasion alarm. On Sunday he administered the communion in the cathedral, and was able to transact business as usual so late as on Wednesday and Thursday, but on Friday morning, by the advice of his medical attendant, Mr. Dodd, he was induced to keep his room, and about the middle of that day was attacked with a violent sickness, which appeared to relieve him for the time; but upon Mr. Dodd's visiting his lordship in the evening, he found him sinking so rapidly that he deemed it advisable to call in Dr. M'Carogher. The bishop, however, never rallied, and about eleven o'clock died apparently without the slightest pain. We are indebted to a correspondent, who had known and loved, and lived in intimacy with, the late amiable prelate from their earliest years, for the following very interesting notice this we present to our readers in the full assurance that by so doing we best fulfil our duty towards them, as well as to the character of him whose premature death is so deeply and so universally regretted :— "Philip Nicholas Shuttleworth, bishop of Chichester, descended from an ancient and opulent family in Lancashire, was born Feb. 9, 1782, at Kirkham, in that county, his father being then vicar of that parish, as well as a prebendary of York. He received the rudiments of his education in Preston, of which place also his father was afterwards vicar. He was sent at the age of fourteen to Winchester, and was afterwards admitted a scholar on the foundation upon the nomination of the venerable head master of that coliege, the rev. Dr. Goddard, who still lives to mourn the loss of his distinguished and grateful scholar. Here he became remarkable for the composition of Latin and English verse. His poem on 'Non omnis moriar' displayed a vigour of thought and power of poetical diction much beyond the ordinary capacity of boys of 16 years of age. In December, 1800, he was elected a scholar of New college, and in the year 1803 gained the Latin verse prize, the subject of which Byzantiam.' This composition was much admired for the purity and elegance of its Latinity and brilliancy of imagination. Soon after he had taken the degree of B.A. he became tutor to the hon. Algernon Herbert, with whom he resided for some time at Eton, as well as in the family of the earl of Caernarvon. At a subsequent period he discharged the same duties in the family of the late lord Holland, who duly appreciated his various talents and amiable qualities, and ever treated him with the generous confidence of a friend. With lord and lady Holland he had the advantage of travelling on the continent in 1814 and 1815, and the acquaintance which he there gained with France and Italy was enlarged by a second visit to those countries in 1820 in company with lord Leigh. For some years previously to 1822 Mr. Shuttleworth resided in Oxford, and filled the office of tutor to his college, and for a short time that of proctor in the university. When the wardenship of New college became vacant, his high reputation caused him to be unanimously elected to that station; and he presided over the society for 18 years, much to his own honour and the permanent benefit of the college; for it was chiefly by his influence that a very detrimental privilege (which exempted the undergraduates from the university examination for the bachelor's degree) was surrendered in the year 1838. In 1823 he married Emma, daughter of the | late George Welch, esq., of High Leck, Lancashire, by whom he leaves a son and four daughters. Whilst in Oxford he was highly distinguished by his very argumentative, judicious, and eloquent sermons, which he delivered with a very impressive tone of fervent devotion, and which particularly engaged the attention of the undergraduates of the university, and never failed to secure a numerous congregation in St. Mary's church. These, and his Paraphrastic Translation of St. Paul's epistles,' his Consistency of the whole scheme of revelation with itself and with human reason,' and his last work On Tradition,' are the chief fruits of his theological studies. In 1840 he was raised to the honour of the mitre, to which his merits, in the opinion of his friends and the public, was had long entitled him. His career as bishop of Chichester has, alas! been but too short to effect all the good he contemplated for the benefit of that diocese; but, short as it has been, it has gained for him the high esteem and affection of his clergy, and of all who had the pleasure of knowing him throughout the county. It may be truly said, that every individual who was acquainted with him can bear testimony to his Christian piety and charity (in St. Paul's sense of the word), to his candour, integrity, and amiable unaffected manners, diffusing cheerfulness in society by the copious fund of information he had always at command, his retentive memory, and the lively pleasantry of his conversation. Those who have read his writings will acknowledge that his extensive learning, his sound judgment, and persuasive cloquence were, both in the press and the pulpit, dedicated to the service of God and the best interests of mankind."-Oxford Herald. DUBLIN. Deanery of St. Patrick's.-Dr. Ratcliffe decided on Tuesday last an important question in the cause of the election of the dean of this cathedral, depending before his honour, between the rev. Dr. Daley and the rev. Dr. Wilson, the candidates for the vacant dignity. It was contended on the part of Dr. Daly, that the return made of a dean in his person by the compromisors was absolute and final, and that the compromisors were not bound to disclose in what manner the members of the chapter voted. It was contended, on the contrary, by Dr. Wilson's advocates, that the election was to be decided according to the majority of legal votes; and that the compromisors, archdeacon Langrishe and the rev. Moore Morgan, must submit to answer interrogatories. judge decided the question in favour of Dr. Wilson. It is stated that the rev. Dr. Daly, in consequence of the above decision, will resign his pretensions to the deanery. HEREFORD. The We have witnessed the recent extension of the church in this neighbourhood with the highest gratification. In one week a new chapel was opened at Bartestree, and a chapel and burial-ground consecrated by the bishop of the diocese. Yesterday the parish church of Sellack, considerably enlarged, was to be re-opened; and Much Cowarne church, destroyed by lightning some time ago, is far advanced towards restoration. The building of St. Nicholas church, Hereford, is fast progressing; and, taking all these circumstances in conjunction with the generous feeling evinced in supplying the funds for the erection of St. Martin's, it is evident that the friends of the church of England in the city and county are neither few in number nor deficient in zeal.-Hereford Journal. Cathedral. It appears by a circular that has been very recently issued, that the cost of restoring Hereford cathedral to its original beauty is estimated at 20,000/. The dean and chapter have declared their readiness to subscribe 2,000l. from their own resources, the bishop of the diocese 500l., and the chancellor of the choir 1001. It is worthy of remark, that, as stated in the circular, "since the year 1831, the dean and chapter have expended on the fabric, besides the proceeds of the estates, and a voluntary sacrifice of 51. per cent. upon all their fines, the sum of 1,1497. 7s. from their own private means." Unfortunately there is a debt of nearly 9,000l. upon the fabric fund. A public meeting will no doubt be convened, in order to devise measures for raising the amount required to effect the restoration of the edifice. On Jan. 4, a most respectable meeting, convened by R. Lane, esq., high sheriff, was held at the Shire-hall, Hereford, for the purpose of considering the best means to be adopted for the repair and restoration of this beautiful edifice. The dean gave a highly interesting detail of the present state of the cathedral, alluding in very proper terms to the providential discovery of the dangerous condition of the masonry; and pointed out the means which it was proposed to adopt for restoring the building to its pristine safety and beauty. The following is the substance of the resolutions passed:-That measures be adopted for the restoration of the cathedral. That a diocesan meeting be held in a more central part of the diocese, and that ladies be invited to attend. That a provisional committee be formed to receive subscriptions. All the resolutions were carried unanimously. 13 understand that the sum of 1,8001. was subscribed in the the house of God? If punishment is to fall, it should room. LINCOLN. Nottingham Church Building Society.-Letter from the bishop of the diocese to the committee of the Church Building Society for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire: "To the General Committee, &c." Testimonial to the late Archdeacon Cambridge.-A feeling having very generally prevailed in Twickenham and elsewhere, that some public mark of respect ought to be paid to the memory of the late archdeacon Cambridge, an address was put forth some months since by a committee, expressive of the reverence and affection in which his character was universally held by all who knew him, and proposing a subscription for a monument in the new district church on Twickenham common, towards the promotion and erection of which he gave the most valuable and efficient assistance. Subsequently, however, to the circulation of that address, the suggestion of numerous friends has been adopted by the committee, that the form of testimonial should be changed, and that, instead of the proposed monument, a national school, to be called "Archdeacon Cambridge's School," should be erected adjoining to the new church, for the poor of the district, as being more in accordance with the simplicity of character and well-known wishes of him whose memory it is the object to honour; whilst it will prove a substantial blessing to the numerous poor families ou Twickenham common and at Whitton, where the means of education are at present so lamentably deficient. fall on us who have neglected our duty; not upon the unhappy victims of our neglect. I regard, therefore, with the sincerest satisfaction the steps now taken to make generally known the amount of spiritual destitution existing in the county and town of Nottingham I am assured that we have only to make it known in order to "Willingham, Market Rasen, Nov. 20, 1841. secure its immediate removal. I am assured, too, that "GENTLEMEN,-Mr. Galley Knight has communimy reverend brethren in particular will use their utmost cated to me the resolution passed at your meeting, held exertions to promote the good work now in hand. It on Friday, November 12, that I should be requested to may be that in many parishes the church accommodation take upon myself the office of president of the society, is amply sufficient; and that, through the bounty of a which it is proposed to establish for promoting the buildresident proprietor, every want, as well spiritual as teming, &c., of churches, in the county and town of Notting-poral, of the poor, is immediately relieved. But let those ham. At the same time that I express my willingness who enjoy these blessings remember, that all parishes to accept the office, allow me to express the satisfaction are not so happily circumstanced; that indeed the most which I feel that effectual measures are at length taken populous are generally the poorest and let them testify to call the attention of the clergy and gentry of the their gratitude to God and their affection to his service by county and town to the spiritual destitution which pre- causing some portion of their abundance to overflow and vails around them. Of its extent the statement which fertilize less favoured districts. you have published will afford melancholy proof: of the "That the divine blessing may attend your labours, is obligation of the wealthier portion of the community to the sincere prayer of relieve it, no doubt can exist in the minds of those who "Your faithful friend and servant, bear the name of Christ, and profess to derive from his "I. LINCOLN. gospel the rule of their practice. The Author of our being has been pleased to place the rich and poor in a state of mutual dependence on each other; and though in countries like our own, which have made great advances in wealth and civilization, this dependence may be less apparent than where society is in a ruder state, on account of the extent to which the division of labour is carried, yet it is not the less true that the rich derive all their means of temporal enjoyment-all their conveniences and luxuries-from the labour, and are consequently bound to minister to the wants, both temporal and spiritual, of the poor. This is an obligation inseparable from the possession of wealth, not the less real, not involving a less serious responsibility because human laws do not prescribe by positive enactments the manner in which it is to be discharged, nor annex penalties to the neglect of discharging it. How, then, let us ask ourselves, have we discharged this obligation?-how have we acquitted ourselves of this responsibility, with reference to the spiritual wants of our poorer brethren? While we have seen the population increasing on all sides, have we made any corresponding exertion to provide for its religious instruction-for its accommodation in the house of God? Can we look around without humiliation and self-reproach, on the churches which the piety of our ancestors scattered over the face of this land, without painfully feeling how condemnatory of the age in which we have lived the comparison between their zeal for the honour of God, and our lukewarmness-our apathy in his cause? I mean not to include all in this censure. I know that there are splendid exceptionsinstances of Christian liberality not unworthy of the best ages of the church. But these splendid exceptions are as oases in the desert, serving only to render the surrounding barrenness more striking by contrast: they are not sufficient to redeem the age from the charge of apathy-of insensibility to the religious wants of the growing population. Of that insensibility we are now reaping the bitter fruits. We complain of the spirit of insubordination-of the intemperance, the licentiousness, the irreligion, prevailing on all sides, and especially in the manufacturing districts; and we are not slow in calling upon the legislature to interfere and remedy the evil. We forget to inquire whether we are not ourselves the parties whom the law ought first to visit with its penalties-whether this melancholy state of things has not been produced by our own neglect of duty. If the voice of blasphemy and impiety is heard in our streets-if the laws of God and man are held in contempt, is it not because we have not taken pains to send forth ministers to instruct our poorer brethren in their religious duties; to set before them the promises and threatenings of the gospel; to infuse into their bosoms those principles which can alone render them proof against temptation-the fear and the love of God? If the Lord's-day is openly and grossly profaned, is it not because we have taken little pains to enable them to pass it in a manner befitting its sacred character, by affording them the means of access to OSSORY. Late Bishop.-We have to announce the death of the right rev. Dr. Fowler, bishop of Ossory, who expired at the palace, Kilkenny, on Friday evening last. The deceased prelate was son of Robert Fowler, archbishop of Dublin, and acquired some distinction for his attainments at Christ-church, Oxford, where he received his education. He was born in 1765, and married in 1796 the eldest daughter of Luke, first viscount Mountjoy. The late bishop was consecrated bishop of Ossory, Ferns, and Leighlin, in 1813, which diocese includes the counties of Carlow and Kilkenny, the Queen's county, Wexford, with parts of Wicklow, and the King's county, the revenue of the see being of the annual value of 49027. On the 10th ult. a commission de lunatico inquirendo took place at Dublin to inquire into the state of the right rev. deceased's mind, when it was proved that, although he both rode and walked out, he was still in a state tantamount to childishness, and quite incapable of managing his affairs. The late bishop possessed estates to the value of 6000l. per annum, and a large sum in the funds. Dr. Fowler, previously to the melancholy visitation with which he was afflicted, was distinguished in a preeminent degree for his princely acts of charity. Possessed of an ample private fortune, it is well known that for a long period he devoted the revenues of his see to the exclusive use of the poor and friendless throughout his diocese. OXFORD. Sabbath Desecration in the Navigation of the Thames. -In consequence of the exertions of Dr. Arnold, one of the magistrates for Berks, there is every prospect of a great improvement being made in the observance of the sabbath by the navigators of the Thames. On the motion of that gentleman, seconded by the rev. Mr. Evans, it was carried unanimously at a meeting of the Thames commissioners, that "from and after the 1st of March, 1842, no barge or boat shall be allowed to go through any pound lock within the jurisdiction of the commissioners of the Thames and Isis navigation, between the hours of six o'clock on Sunday morning and twelve o'clock on Sunday night." Dr. Arnold's motion originally stood from "twelve o'clock on Saturday night," but to secure unanimity it was changed to six o'clock on Sunday morning. It appeared from a recent report made by the chap. of the county gaol, that, of eleven bargemen who had been for various offences consigned to that prison within the past twelve months, only three could repeat the Lord's prayer, or appeared to possess the least knowledge of their duties as Christians. The probable cause of this on the part of this class of men was attributed to their constant employment on the sabbath. CHURCHES CONSECRATED. Chester.-Weston Point, near Runcorn, Dec. 24.

St. Paul's Chapel.-Dec. 19, the bishop preached in this chapel at the request of the congregation, conveyed through sir Michael Bruce, bart.; and, after a most feeling address in reference to the union of the chapel with the Scottish episcopal church, preached from Rom. xv. 13. St. Paul's chapel was built about 100 years ago, by families devoted to the episcopal church, but who would not subject themselves to the pains and penalties attaching to the Scot. epis. church, and was supplied with clergymen ordained in England. This was the state of many other episcopal chapels in Scotland, who were nominally under English bishops, who occasionally gave them advice, and sent them pastors. On the Scottish episcopal clergy, after the death of the last of the Stuarts, taking the oaths to the house of Hanover, the penal statutes became virtually, and afterwards formally, repealed, and almost all the congregations submitted, by the advice of the English prelates, to the episcopal jurisdiction in Scotland. St. Paul's chapel adhering, and most properly, to the ritual of the English church, kept back until a late act of parliament rendered more close the connection of the English and Scottish episcopal churches, and the guarantee afforded by the canons of the latter for the English communion-service (differing in some not unimportant, though they have been stated as minor points, form the Scottish) in any chapel that might prefer it, led to the proposal of a union, entered into with the most friendly feelings on both sides; for- | mally completed a fortnight ago, and ratified as it were in spirit by the bishop being solicited to officiate in the chapel on the first convenient Sunday thereafter. Two chapels only now remain separated, viz., those of Montrose and Perth. Trinity College, Perth.-The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has, under certain restrictions, voted 1,000l. to this institution in consequence of the following letter received from bp. Sinner to the secretary, Mr. Parker: "Rev. and dear sir,-I once more beg leave to solicit your very friendly aid in bringing under the notice of your venerable board the accompanying papers, relating to a plan of the very highest importance to the prosperity of the episcopal church in Scotland, and which, we feel most deeply grateful, and at the same time proud to say, has met with the most marked approbation of the highest dignitaries of the united church, their graces the archbishops of Canterbury, York, Armagh, and Dublin. The bishops of the episcopal church in Scotland feel very sensibly the many liberal grants which have been from time to time most generously bestowed on their humble portion of the catholic church by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and the frequency of these grants makes them not a little reluctant in venturing to renew their app lications. But the countenance and cordial support of this most influential society seem so indispensable to the success of their proposed establishment, that they dare not hesitate humbly to solicit for it its favourable and liberal regard. In as far as can yet be ascertained, the proposal for the establishment of Trinity college has been entertained most favourably by the members of the episcopal church in Scotland; nor does it seem to meet, as I am happy to assure your standing committee and the society at large, with any hostile feeling of jealousy on the part of the established church of Scotland; which will most readily, I doubt not, concede to episcopalians the right claimed by every religious de nomination, to educate their youth in the principles of their own communion. But I feel persuaded that it is wholly unnecessary for me to add one word more on the subject, either for your or the committee's satisfaction; the members of which, I, from past experience, am convinced, will give their most impartial and favourable attention to the papers now brought before them. Accept my best thanks for your personal kindness and attention so readily conceded to me on many occasions, and believe me ever to remain, with most grateful esteem, rev. and dear sir, yours very faithfully and truly, His grace the duke of Buccleuch, and Mr. J. Gladstone, of Fasque, have given 1,000l. each, for the purpose of founding, in a central part of Scotland, north of the Frith of Forth, and removed from the immediate vicinity of any large town, a college, to be called "The College of the Holy and undivided Trinity." The following subscriptions have also been made for the same purpose:Her majesty the queen dowager, 1001.; archbishop of Canterbury, 1051.; bishop of London, 1007.; bishop Skinner, Aberdeen, 1057.; the (late) marquis of Lothian, 500l.; lord Douglas, 500.; Mr. R. W. Ramsey, of Whitehill, 500.; the right hon. W. E. Gladstone, 5001; Mrs. W. E. Gladstone, 2001.; Mr. J. R. Hope (theolo gical books), 4007. The following have also subscribed 1051. each, which gives them a perpetual right of nominating one to the proposed college-viz., Mr. T. Gladstone, Mr. J. W. Gladstone, Mr. R. Gladstone, the rev. lord H. Kerr, Mr. J. Kay, the rev. T. Bowdler, sir G. Stirling, bart.; Mr. A. Falconer, of Falcon-hall; Mr. A Cay, the earl of Dunmore, Mr. C. A. Moir, Mr. J. Stir |
