At the visitation of the see of Meath, held on the 28th of July, an address was presented by their archdeacon from the clergy of the diocese of Meath to their esteemed diocesan, requesting the right reverend prelate to convey their thanks to the Lord Primate of Ireland, with a supplication that his grace would have the goodness to express their gratitude to the committee for the relief of the Irish clergy, and through them to the generous British public.

Thompson is obliged to be accompanied every Sunday by a guard of police to his church at Templehooty (Mr. Shiel's parish), for the purpose of performing divine service. What will those members of Parlia ment, who rail at the Irish clergymen for being absent from their glebes, say, when they hear that one of those unfortunate men is obliged to be accompanied to the house of God by a guard of police, and that the moment of his setting his foot on his own threshold would be the signal for his destruction?—Clonmel Ad

EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND.

Glasgow. The Episcopalians of Glasgow are supposed to amount to about 10,000, exclusive of soldiers quartered in the barracks. These consist of members of the old Scottish Episcopal Church, of English families resident in Glasgow and its vicinity, and of Protestant Irish, chiefly engaged in manufactures. There are at present two chapels; St. Andrew's, built about the middle of the last century, and St. Mary's, built about twelve years ago, and ostensibly for a small congregation of the old Episcopal Church, which for many years assembled for public worship in a room in the grammar-school, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Alexander Jamieson. These two chapels are now

EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN AMERICA.

DEATH OF AN AMERICAN BISHOP.-Bishop White, of the diocese of Pennsylvania, died at Philadelphia on July 17th, at the age of 88. He was consecrated to the episcopacy in 1787, by Dr. John Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury, and assisted by Dr. William Markham, Archbishop of York; and he consecrated every bishop of the Episcopal Church at present in the United States, excepting the Bishop of Michigan, who was consecrated subsequently to Bishop White's confinement. He may truly be styled the father of the Episcopal Church of England in America; and the American papers speak of him as having acquired, during his long life, universal respect. "The Christian world," says a Philadelphia paper, "is much indebted

to his example, precept, and steady adherence. In his death the Church mourns one of her great apostles. With his bereaved family we sincerely sympathise; but may they not be consoled by the reflection that he has departed full of honours as of years?" At his funeral it has been arranged that a suspension of business shall take place throughout the city and liberties. The funeral will probably be the largest since Dr. Franklin's. He died at his residence in Walnutstreet, Philadelphia. "When his death became known," says one account, "the bells of the several churches in Philadelphia were muffled, and a general sorrow seemed to pervade the community."

Miscellaneous Ecclesiastical Entelligence.

FUND FOR BUILDING CHURCHES IN THE METROPOLIS. The subscriptions to this most important object, to which we have more than once directed the attention of our readers, amount to more than 60,0001. Amongst the subscriptions are the following:-Anonymous, by the Rev. W. Dodsworth, 5001; Lord Bexley, 5001.; Brasennose College, 1,000l.; Archbishop of Canterbury, 1,000l.; Marquis of Cholmondeley, 5001.;

Clergyman, seeking treasure in heaven," 5,000l.; G. Davenport, Esq. 1,000l.; Messrs. Drummond, bankers, 5001.; District Visiter, 1,000l.; "Exhort one another, lest any of you be hardened," 1,000l.; A Friend, by the Rev. W. Dodsworth, for Church, Regent's Park, 8007.; Rev. E. P. Golightly, Oriel College, 1,000l.; Earl of Harrowby, 5001.; Messrs. Hoare, bankers, 1000; Lord Kenyon, 5001.; Bishop of London, 2,0007.; Bishop of Llandaff, 5001.; Magdalen College, 1,0007.; Merchant Tailors' Company, 500l.; Rev. Dr. Pusey, canon of Christ Church, 1,000l.; G. H. Dawkins Pennant, Esq., 500l.; Rev. Dr. Richards, 500l.; Rev. W. Dodsworth, 4007.; Joshua Watson, Esq. 5007.; Williams, Deacon, and Co. bankers, 5001., &c. &c. &c. There can be little doubt that a sufficient sum will be raised to enable the bishop of the diocese to carry his truly Christian plan into effect. We do trust that ere long we shall behold ample church-accommodation provided for the myriads in the metropolis and its vicinity, who are perishing for "lack of knowledge." It is gratifying to observe also, that in different parts of the country active exertions are making to provide church-accommodation in districts which have hitherto been destitute of it. The newspapers abound with most gratifying intelligence on this particular; and we hail it as the dawn of still brighter days to our Church. We would, however, again remind our readers, that the call made by the highest authority of the realm in aid of the Society for Building and Enlarging Churches, must not be passed by unheeded; nay, it is a call from Him by whom kings reign, and who has a right to demand that his worship shall be duly celebrated, and the saving truths of his Gospel made known.

CHURCH PASTORAL-AID SOCIETY.-Although the list of contributions, printed with the report, exhibits a gratifying proof of lively interest for the spiritual welfare of the country, and an amount of nearly 2,500, yet the annual subscriptions, on which must rest the permanence of the Society, are only about 6001; while the grants of the Society already exceed 1,200. per annum, bringing into active devotion to the pastoral work eighteen zealous assistants, clerical and lay, in aid of necessitous parishes and districts. It is truly painful to the committee to defer or refuse that aid which, in many instances, has appeared to them

desirable, and which, were adequate funds at their disposal, they would cheerfully give.

A meeting of the clergy of the deanery of Bristol was held on the 25th instant, called by requisition to the rural dean," to take into consideration the propriety of forming an auxiliary to the Church Pastoral-Aid Society recently established in London, for extending the influence, and increasing the efficiency of the Established Church," when the Rev. T. T. Biddulph (in the absence of the rural dean) was called to the chair, and resolutions were severally moved, seconded, and carried unanimously as follows:-"1. By the Rev. C. Buck and Dr. Swete-That this meeting fully recognises the duty incumbent on the members of the Church of England to employ all suitable means for extending its influence and increasing its efficiency; and hails with thankfulness to the great Head of the Church, the institution of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society, in the objects and regulations of which this meeting cordially concurs. 2. By the Rev. Dr. Allen and H. C. Brere-That an Auxiliary be now formed, and entitled, the Bristol Auxiliary Church PastoralAid Society.' 3. By the Rev. S. E. Day and J. B. Clifford That P. F. Aiken, Esq. be appointed treasurer, and the Rev. L. R. Cogan secretary. 4. By the Rev. W. Knight and W. Hunt-That the rules contained in page 19 of the Parent Society's Report be adopted as the regulations of the Bristol Auxiliary. 5. By the Rev. J. Hensman and W. Wait-That the treasurer and secretary be authorised to take proper steps to call a general meeting of the friends of the Church of England, on Thursday the 11th of August, in order to develope the objects and plans of the Society, and to appoint a president, vice-president, and committee. 6. By the Rev. T. P. Jennings and A. R. Ludlow-That the thanks of the meeting are due and are given to the highly-esteemed Rev. T. T. Biddulph, for his readiness in taking the chair, and his conduct therein." All the clergy present tendered their subscriptions, and engaged to do their utmost to promote the cause of the Society.

BRISTOL. The consecration of the new church at Weymouth, founded at the sole expense of the Rev. George Chamberlain, rector of Weymouth and Wyke Regis, took place on Saturday se'nnight, by the Lord Bishop of Winchester. A grand procession, comprising the Lord Bishop of Winchester and suite, the

Worshipful the Mayor and Town Council, the Archdeacon of Dorset and suite, the clergy of the deanery, M. Wyatt, Esq. of London (the architect), and an immense number of gentry, was in attendance. The church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

KENT.-New Church at Sheerness.-The consecration of Trinity Church will take place at Sheerness on the 30th August. A sermon will be preached on the occasion by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury; after which a collection will be made in aid of the Church-Building Fund.

DURHAM.The bishop, accompanied by his family, has arrived at Auckland Castle. On approaching Bishop-Auckland, the rev. prelate was met by a large concourse of persons, in carriages and on horseback, who paid him the respect of escorting him to the splendid seat of the see of Durham. After the usual ceremony of presenting a falchion by the owners of Pollard's Lands had been gone through in the vestibule of the palace, his lordship turned round, and, addressing the company assembled, returned them his thanks for the warm and hearty welcome with which he had been received, and hoped he should live on terms of the best neighbourhood and good feeling with those who had honoured his arrival with their presence. LICHFIELD. The Lord Bishop has commenced his primary visitation.

At a recent meeting of the town council of Shrewsbury, an address to the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, on his resigning the head-mastership of the Royal Free Grammar School in that town, and on his appointment to the see of Lichfield and Coventry, was unanimously adopted, and subsequently presented to his lordship. It was afterwards also unanimously resolved to congratulate the Rev. Dr. Kennedy on his appointment to the head-mastership of the free grammar school, as the successor of Dr. Butler, and the address was presented to Dr. Kennedy by the mayor and a large body of aldermen and councillors, last week.

Another instance of the beneficial effects to the Church, resulting from perseverance and activity on the part of her ministers, has fallen under our notice this week. Many years ago a school was built by Mr. T. Dakeyne, in Gradbach, Staffordshire, a small, poor village, situated in a very thinly populated district. Its management fell gradually into the hands of the dissenters, and a sort of nondescript religion was inculcated, till about three years ago, when it once more reverted to the Church. Since that time the school has continued to increase, until it now numbers about a hundred scholars, and Church influence has been augmented in the same proportion, by the most commendable labours of the Rev. J. Roberts, who, for some time, has voluntarily travelled on foot to Gradbach, over a wild country, remote from his own curacy, for the purpose of performing divine service once each Sunday in the school-room. Dissent has now almost disappeared, and the best spirit in favour of the Church prevails. On Sunday a sermon was preached in the school-room on behalf of the Sunday-school, by the Rev. T. R. Bentley, B.A., of Ashton-under Lyne, when, notwithstanding the poverty and the small numbers of the circumjacent population, no less a sum than 18. was collected, and it has since been increased by donations to upwards of 202. It is remarkable too, that though, as has been said, the congregation consisted of very poor people, only 8s. 34d. was collected in copper, shewing that even poverty gave with a very liberal hand. The collections go towards the repair of the school, and the purchase of prizes for the scholars.-Manchester Chronicle.

Nothing can more clearly exhibit the enormous disproportion between the spiritual wants of the community and the provision made for supplying them. The population of Lancashire and Cheshire has increased, in about thirty years, from 864,000 to 1,647,000, and every year it is increasing in the same ratio; it is necessary, therefore, that some steps should be taken to provide this immense number with religious instruction. The Manchester Church-Building Society, established last year, raised in two months the sum of 18,000.

SALISBURY.-Castle Street Chapel in Reading, which has been forty years in the Countess of Huntingdon's connexion, and lately under the care of Mr. Sherman, will be consecrated for the service of the Church of England by the Bishop of Salisbury. The appointment of the minister will be in the trustees perpetually.

An address has been presented to the Bishop of Salisbury, by the clergy of the deanery of Malmesbury, expressive of their surprise and regret at the intention of the Church Commissioners to separate that deanery from the diocese of which it has so long formed a part, and to add it to the diocese of Gloucester. They deprecate being removed from under the jurisdiction of the learned and pious prelate who presides over them; as well as that of the Archdeacon of Wilts, to whom they are much attached, and under whose superintendence they desire to continue. The address has, we believe, been forwarded to the Archbishop of Canterbury, that his Grace and the rest of the Commissioners may be informed of the opinions and feelings of the Bishop of Salisbury, and the archdeacon and clergy, with respect to this uncalled-for dislocation of the diocese. In his late charge to the clergy of the deaneries of Cricklade and Malmesbury, the archdeacon thus speaks of the proposed separation : "For this change I have never yet been able to discover any reason, and none has been assigned, though perhaps it is fair to conclude that those who have recommended it are persuaded that it will be beneficial to the interests of those who live in these deaneries. As to my own sentiments concerning this intended measure, I think that though some few parishes in these two deaneries might, perhaps, for their own convenience, be advantageously annexed to the see of Gloucester, there is no reason why the whole of them should. It seems to me (as it does to the Bishop of Salisbury) to be an innovation uncalled for, and for that reason, if there were no other, to be deprecated and opposed."

CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS.—The donations by the friends of scriptural education at Liverpool, amount to 10,3211. 3s. 2d., and the annual subscriptions to 3651. 14s. The number of children receiving instruction in the schools already in operation, exceeds 1,100. In the south school there are 276 boys, 197 girls, and 80 infants, in all 553. In the north school there are 400 boys, 230 girls, in all 630, making a total for both schools of 1,183.
