nearly wholly rebuilt, took place. The structure now consists of a nave, aisle of the length of the nave, which was not the case with the northern aisle, a chancel, and a tower at the western end, in place of the other which stood on the north. To these has been added a small but convenient vestry room on the north side of the chancel. About four hundred persons were in the church on the occasion. The sacred edifice which has thus been completely restored, is a chapelry to Adderbury. The total cost of the alterations has been upwards of 15754, the risk of which was undertaken by gentlemen in the parish, and a clergyman in the neighbourhood. Before the consecration, about 8007. (including 150l. procured from the Incorporated Church Building Society,) had been received; but on this day, 2261. was collected-2081. and upwards at the morning service, and 177. 8s. at the evening. The contributions of the townsmen of Banbury were liberal. BODICOTE CHURCH.-The chaste, substantial, and appropriate east window over the altar, entirely new, was the gift of the Rev. Dr Williams, Warden of New College. It cost him upwards of 501. The college, also, as a body, expended upwards of 100. in restoring the chancel to its altered and improved condition, as in masonry, painting thereof, and the stalls. Mrs. Hitchcock, of Bodicote, presented the pulpit and reading-desk, and also the altar, with appropriate hangings, together with a floor-cloth, in imitation of the encaustic tiles. A new silver paten was given to the church, for the use of the communion, by Mrs. G. Nelson, wife of the Rev. G. Nelson, late curate of the parish. Lastly, the altar books were presented by a gentleman named Bolton, a friend of the Rev. G. S. Warriner, the present curate. We have already noticed the splendid liberality of the Rev. W. Cotton Risley, of Deddington. We will here, therefore, add only, with regard to his gifts, that the altar, reredos, or altar screen and commandments, are of Painswick stone, and that the tablets containing the commandments (which are in old letter, and beautifully illuminated) are surmounted by an ogee canopy, adorned with crockets and finials. Mr. James Gardner, the churchwarden of Bodicote, also contributed at least 507. in carriage, with his team, during the progress of the work. SURREY. A patent has just been obtained for a machine for carving Gothic and other tracery, in a cheap, rapid, and yet most effectual manner. The carvings for Camberwell Church are being cut by this instrument. WORCESTERSHIRE. At a special meeting of the Worcester Diocesan Church Building Society, held in that city, a grant of 1504 was made in aid of increasing the accommodation in the parish church of Bromsgrove. Before the meeting separated, the Rev. H. J. Wilding resigned the secretaryship; and a vote of thanks having been unanimously passed to him, the Rev. J. D. Simpson was appointed secretary in his stead. YORKSHIRE. The munificent Mrs. Lawrence, of Studley Park, in addition to former liberal donations, has just presented a thousand pounds to the Ripon Diocesan Church Building Society. YORK MINSTER.-The churchwardens of the different parishes in York are at present actively engaged in soliciting subscriptions for a clock bell, to weigh no less than eight tons, to be placed in the northwest tower of the cathedral; and there is every reason to believe that the exertions now being made for this purpose will be successful. R. Fountayne Wilson, Esq., of Malton, near Doncaster, has given 500l. to the National Society's general fund, in addition to 500%. to the special fund. A new organ has been lately presented to the church of Kirkdale, in Cleveland, by Mrs. Livesey, of Kildale Hall. - ARCHDEACONRY OF CRAVEN. The visitation of this archdeaconry has been fixed as follows:-Leeds, Monday, 3rd; Skipton, Wednesday, 5th; Halifax, 6th; and Wakefield, Friday, 7th June. We understand that an official intimation has been given to the clergy, that, in conse quence of the intention of the Lord Bishop of the diocese to hold his triennial visitation in the ensuing autumn, their at tendance at the archidiaconal visitation is not expected, and that their names will not then be called. There will not, consequently, be the usual sermon and charge, and the business of the visitation will be confined to receiving the presentments of the old and admitting the new churchwardens.
