BERKSHIRE.

ALDERMASTON.-On Wednesday, November 11, the Rev. J. Knipe was presented by his parishioners with a most elegant piece of plate, as a token of the high sense they entertained of his uniformly worthy and pastor-like conduct during a residence of twenty-four years among them. A splendid dinner was given on the occa sion by William Congreve, Esq. at Alder, maston House, to the subscribers and a few friends.- Berkshire Chronicle.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.

The Rev. John Dell, of Aylesbury, has recently presented to St. Mary's church a set of books for the service of the altar, bearing the following inscription :-Presented for the service of the altar, and as an offering in commemoration of the third centenary of the Reformation, by the Rev. John Dell, LL.B., October 4, 1835.Bucks Gazette,

CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

INCORPORATED SOCIETY FOR BUILDING CHURCHES.-The annual meeting of this

society was held on Monday, November 2, the Right Hon. the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord Lieutenant of the county, in the chair. Among the company present were the Rev. Dr. French; Dr. Wordsworth, Master of Trinity College; the President of Queen's College; Serjeant Frere; W. Christopher Pemberton, Esq. &c. &c. P. Hamond, Esq.; W. H. Cheere, Esq.;

The Earl of Hardwicke, in addressing the meeting, said that it was his belief that great numbers were constrained to become dissenters in large towns from the want of adequate accommodation, which, if afforded, they would again return and worship God in their own churches. for the poor, and he thought this an addiThe objects of this society were especially tional claim for support. In the report of the parent society it appeared that 470l. had been received from Cambridge during the last year, which he trusted would be equalled in the present.

The Rev. Christopher Wordsworth, the secretary, read the report, which stated that 3407. in donations, and 1301. in annual subscriptions, had been received during

the past year, and that the parent society had, during the year, furnished 34,338 free sittings for the public, being an increase of 10,000 over any preceding year. There were at the present time 90 churches wanted in London alone.

The Rev. Dr. French proposed that the report be printed and circulated.

Serjeant Frere, LL.D., said the state of England at the present time was sufficient evidence against the "voluntary system," for the places of worship of all kinds still left an immense mass without the means to worship their Creator. He need go no farther than this town, where, in one parish, the population in fifteen years had increased from 400 to 8,000, and the only public place of worship according to the rites of the established church, would not hold more than 400. He thought they could not do better than adopt and circulate the report.

The President of Queen's College moved the second resolution. The great recommendation to the society was its having furnished so great a number of sittings for the poor, and it had already spent 220,000l. for this purpose.

Professor Scholefield said it was appalling to look at the dioceses of London, Chester, &c.; and it was a Christian duty for all to co-operate with this society in extending its advantages to those places. It had been said that there was an increased attachment of late to the church of England. He thought the dormant feeling of the people had been raised up, when they heard it proclaimed that the church was to be destroyed-not reformed or amended, but totally destroyed, and the "voluntary system" substituted for it. They had been roused up again, when the tremendous principle had been broached, that there should be no church in Ireland, where the protestant population was small.

The Rev. Henry J. Rose, Fellow of St. John's College, moved the third resolution, and said the fact that the church of England was doing the work for fourteen millions with machinery only calculated for seven, was a sufficient stimulant to urge the support of this society. The "voluntary system" had been alluded to. This system was useless, because it supposed human nature to act inversely; it supposed it to be anxious for light, when it was prone to darkness, and supposed that moral and spiritual diseases, whose first symptom was blindness, would seek their own cure. They could tell the law for increasing po. pulation, but the improvement of a port, the establishment of a railway, or the

working of a mine, threw immense masses into a place which before had been but scantily inhabited. It was the object of this society to provide the means of obtaining the blessings of religion to this fluctuating population, and where commercial enterprise congregated people, there to plant a temple. The means the society possessed for the accomplishment of its objects was manifestly insufficient, and be thought, therefore, it was the duty of the nation to interfere, and not even where there was a population of 50,000 or 20,000, but even 500, there to erect a church. The greatness of England had been gained by its moral and religious strength alone, and from the moment we lose it, we might rely upon it, our greatness will begin to decline.

Christopher Pemberton, Esq., seconded the resolution.

The Christian Advocate, and several other gentlemen, subsequently briefly addressed the meeting.

On Tuesday, November 17th, a meeting of the clergy of the diocese, and of the university, took place at the Eagle Inn, Cambridge, for the purpose of considering the best means of assisting the Irish clergy in their present extreme distress. Some very affecting statements, from the Lord Primate of Ireland, and other clergymen, were read to the meeting, which appeared to rouse the sympathy of all present. Clergymen, compelled to distribute their families amongst their relations; to dis. pose of the insurances which they held upon their lives; and, in some instances, actually living upon potatoes and buttermilk, were the subjects of these statements, made upon such good authority. Truly, if any protestant, knowing and believing these things, refuse to hold out his hand to his suffering brethren in this their extremity, he deserves not the name of a Christian.-Cambridge Chronicle.

DEVONSHIRE,

On Thursday, November 5th, the Rev. Dr. Collyns was presented with a splendid silver vase and salver, as a tribute of respect from his pupils, on bis retirement from the Head Mastership of Exeter Free Grammar School.-Salisbury Herald.

On Monday, November 16th, a converted Jew, named Isaac Goldstone, was publicly baptized in Charles Church, Plymouth, by the vicar, the Rev. Septimus Courtney.-Exeter Post.

The liberals of Topsham have succeeded in carrying a resolution against levying

any church rate, this year, for that parish. The consequence has been, that no less than seventy-two citations have been issued against the parties.-Western Luminary..

DURHAM.

DURHAM UNIVERSITY.-The Bishop of Durham has presented the Mirror of Parliament, in 26 folio volumes, and the works of De Rossi, in 33 volumes, to the library of the Durham University. The Rev. Charles Simeon, of Cambridge; Mrs. Andrew Sharp, of Clare Hall, Barnet; the Rev. Archdeacon Thorp; F. Carr, Esq., of Hampton, and Dr. Radcliffe's Trustees, Oxford, have also made handsome presentations of books to the same institution. His lordship bas also, in addition to his gift of the ground for building the church at Stockton, and for the burial-ground and vicarage, transmitted the sum of 2001. to the committee in aid of building the church. This beautiful building will be opened for divine service the beginning of next month.-Durham Advertiser.

ESSEX.

On Friday, 6th November, a handsome and chaste piece of plate, bearing the borough arms, and an inscription, was presented to the Rev. C. R. Fanshawe, late curate of the united parishes of All Saints and St. Peter, Maldon, by the parishioners, in token of the high estimation in which they hold him.-Chelmsford Paper.

On Friday, October 30th, the new Episcopal Chapel at Brightlingsea, Essex, was opened for public worship, by licence from the Lord Bishop of London. The day was extremely cold; notwithstanding, the number of persons present on this occasion was computed at 700, among whom were several of the neighbouring clergy. Prayers were read by the Rev. R. Duffield, rector of Frating; and the sermon was preached by the Venerable Archdeacon Lyall, from the 84th Psalm, 1st and 2nd verses.-Old England.

The Bishop of London has just completed his circuit in Essex, and it is a gratifying circumstance to record, that upwards of 8,500 of the rising generation have, in the holy rite of confirmation, written themselves among the defenders of our church. The following is the list of the members confirmed at each place :Romford, 267; Brentwood, 450; Orsett, 212; Great Wakering, 84; Rochford, 267; Rayleigh, 176; Great Burstead, 233; Great Baddow, 73; Chelmsford, 727; Maldon, 325; Southminster, 155; Witham, VOL.

LANCASHIRE.

CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY. The friends of the Established Church will be gratified to learn that at length there is a prospect of church accommodation being quickly provided for a portion of that dense population in New Cross District, at Ancoats, Manchester. A commodious chapel, originally built for the Tent Methodists, has been purchased by auction, by Robert Gardiner, Esq., for the purpose of being converted into a place of worship connected with the Established Church. The property, besides the chapel, comprises a house and garden for the officiating minister, a commodious school-room, and four cottages; the purchase-money, we hear, was 3,2001. The importance of the object in view may be estimated when we state that the district contains a population of 36,000 souls, and has no place of worship under the Establishment. The building just purchased contains about 1,200 sittings.-Cambridge Chronicle.

A great Protestant meeting took place at Liverpool on Oct. 29. The attendance was most numerous, consisting of the principal members of the clerical profession, together with the leading merchants, bankers, and traders of Liverpool and its vicinity. Mr. W. Hulton was in the chair, and powerful and eloquent speeches were delivered by him, as well as by the Reverend Messrs. M'Ghee, Pope, and Buddecombe, and the Rev. Dr. Ralph.

LEICESTERSHIRE.

The ancient church at Old Dalby, Leicestershire, is in the course of re-construction, at the sole cost and charge of the much-esteemed rector, the Rev. Mr. Sawyer, who, on the death of Sir Herbert Sawyer, succeeded to the principal estate at that place. St. James's Chronicle.

At a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Loughborough and Ashby, and the vicinity, held at the King's Head Inn, Loughborough, on Monday, October 26th, 1835, G. J. D. Butler Danvers, Esq. was called to the chair, on the motion of W. Herrick, Esq. the High Sheriff, seconded by W. W. Abney, Esq; and the following resolution (moved by R. Jacomb Hood, Esq. and 4z

seconded by C. Allsop, Esq.) was passed unanimously:"That a Society be now formed to resist the spread of Roman Catholic errors;"-that for this purpose it shall be their business to circulate throughout the neighbourhood tracts exposing the errors of the Romish Church, and vindicating the truth against her corruptions. But that no tracts shall issue from the repositories of the society which have not received the sanction of the managing committee. The Rev. M. D. Babington and Beauvoir Brock, Esq. were appointed secretaries to this society.

[The list of subscribers comprehends almost all the first persons in that part of Leicestershire. The society has been made necessary by the outrageous and indecent proceedings of the persons connected with, and encouraged by, Mr. Ambrose Phillips, who have been preaching in the streets and church-yards, and almost insulting the clergy in their own churches. Mr. Phillips is here asked,Can he vouch for the moral character of all the persons whom he has brought as the only true moral and religious teachers? He will probably understand the question. Will he answer it ?]

LINCOLNSHIRE.

Some circumstances respecting the arrangements, as to the lectureship at Melton Church, deserve to be recorded. So soon as the rector (the Rev. Mr. Halifax,) was acquainted with the wish of the inhabitants for an evening lectureship, he gave his assent, put his name down for an annual subscription of 50l., and, in the most liberal manner, desired the parishioners would appoint whoever they deemed most worthy to fill the situation, which they did, by electing Mr. Kelley; and Mr. Halifax confirmed the same instanter, expressing strong satisfaction that the choice of the town had fallen on so zealous a member of the church.-Boston Herald.

MIDDLESEX.

The examination and orations of the scholars of St. Saviour's Grammar School, (Head Master the Rev. L. Sharpe,) took place on Tuesday, November 17th, 1835. Messrs. Tagg, Hannah, Wheeler, Timms, and Sharpe, delivered Greek, Latin, and English orations.

The new church and burial-ground of St. John's, at Potter's Bar, near Barnet, was consecrated on Wednesday, the 4th November, by the Bishop of London. It was built after a design, and under the superintendence, of Edward Blore, Esq. D. C. L., and consists of a nave, chancel,

and tower at the south-west angle, presenting a handsome western facade to the great north road. The material consists of Ranger's patent stone, and the effect altogether is a happy adaptation of the solid, substantial style of the Normans to the more modern notions of comfort and convenience. It is due to the liberality and good taste, and good feeling, of Mr. Byng, of Wrotham Park, the Member for Middlesex, to state, that the expense of the erection of this beautiful specimen of modern Norman, amounting to nearly three thousand pounds, has been principally defrayed by himself; add to which, he has settled a handsome endow. ment on it, for the support of the incumbent, and given the right of presentation to the Bishop of London and his successors for ever. The Rev. Henry George Watkins, jun. M. A. of Worcester College, has been fixed upon by the Bishop for the first incumbent. Morning Herald.

At a meeting of the rate-payers of St. Mary's, Kensington, on Saturday, the 14th November, the Venerable Archdeacon Potts presiding, an old church rate of 2d. in the pound was carried by 110 to 35, and also a new church rate of 6d. in the pound.-Ibid.

The Bishop of Chichester, the present preacher at Lincoln's Inn, has addressed a letter to the benchers of that society, expressing his intention of resigning the preachership on the last day of the present Michaelmas term.-Orford Paper.

Dr. Paris has accepted the Professorship of Materia Medica at King's College, London, vacant by the resignation of Dr. Bisset Hawkins, of Exeter College.

Richard Higgs, Esq., Student in Civil Law, and Fellow of St. John's College, has been appointed to the Classical Lectureship and office of Librarian of King's College, London.-Morning Herald.

The Commissioners of Church Inquiry have resumed their sittings in Great George Street. Nearly all the members of the commission were in close consultation during the greater part of Friday, November 13, and Saturday, 14. The Bishop of Lincoln has placed at the disposal of the commissioners the prebends of Carlton-cumThurlby and Empingham, in the cathedral church of Lincoln, which have fallen in. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Melbourne, Lord John Russell, the Right Hon. T. Spring Rice, and other members of the commission, were present. The meeting broke up at four.-Morning Herald.
