three years: the Rev. H. Vachell, sailed April 19, 1835; Rev. Thomas Green, B.A. of Trinity College, Dublin, sailed October 22, 1835. The salaries guaranteed from this fund are not less than 70%." The reasonable expenses of the voyage and journey to the place of their destination are paid, and the salaries commence for three years from the period of their commencing their pastoral labours there. Appointments made in Canada. These have arisen out of this fund, but are not entirely supported by it: Midland District Travelling Mission, Rev. S. Harpur; Burlington Bay district ditto, Rev. J. C. Usher. Gratuities given by the Bishop of Quebec in aid of settled missions, as per his letter dated Toronto, Sept. 10, 1835; to the Rev. James Padfield, Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, missionary at March, in Upper Canada; to the Rev. Frederick Mack, same Society, Osnabruck, in Upper Canada; to the Rev. D. Robertson, same society, Stanbridge, Lower Canada. Extract from the bishop's letter relative to these and other proposed donations: "I shall be glad (if you can consistently with your professions, in collecting these funds for me,) that you would authorise me, at my discretion, to apply a part, not only to itinerant, but also to settled resident missions. Most of these missions are very extensive; and in some cases it is easier to procure the means in particular places than throughout a whole district. This is especially my difficulty with the missions to which I have given gratuities, and with those named below, to which I wish to give similar assistance, if you are at liberty to accede." pluck up courage, and go on in the strength of the Lord. But there are two great wants I feel. First, the want of a well-qualified interpreter. Secondly, the want of some portion of our Liturgy in the Chippewa tongue. I am not aware that there is such a translation in existence; but surely the expense could not be great in getting the morning service, with some Psalms and Hymns, and the Gospels, translated for the purpose. This I would undertake to do myself, in a very short time, if I had a good interpreter. Here is a field of a most interesting description open before me, and what a pity if we cannot procure the means of attaching these poor, but willing to be instructed heathens, to our venerable Church! I could wish also that I had a little shanty to live in among them, say two days in a fortnight, where my presence in visiting them, from wigwam to wigwam, would have an additional effect, besides that it would aid me so much in acquiring a knowledge of their language, so as to be soon able to preach to them in their own tongue the wonderful works of God. Were your lordship at my elbow for a few days, I am sure that no exertion would be wanting, and no step left untried on your part, to promote these two grand objects, which I have so much at heart, in regard to these poor Indians. As to the rest of my extensive charge, I have always evening service at my own place every Sabbath, which is very well attended-indeed our house is so small that we cannot well accommodate more than thirty in the room. On the alternate Sundays I attend at the village of Delaware, where our congregation has exceeded my most sanguine expectations. Since our new church was opened for divine service, the usual attendance, when the weather permits, is from seventy to more than a hundred. I have also established a day and Sunday school, which are prospering; the attendance of children amounts to thirty. I should have visited Chatham before this, but found my hands so full of work here, that I was unwilling to disappoint any of the congregations I have formed-besides, Chatham is forty-eight miles from me, and I cannot afford to be at more expense than I feel I am at present subject to. With my present engagements, family, and two servants (man and wo Further assistance, as proposed above: to the mission at Hamilton, at the head of Lake Ontario: to the Rev. J. D. Geddis, “a most deserving missionary, of great piety and zeal;" to the Rev. Richard Flood, Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, missionary at Caradoc and Delaware, situated in the remote western district of Upper Canada, between Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, for his services and exertions among the Bear Creek and Monsec Indians, now first, by his labours, brought within the pale of the Christian Church (see his letter annexed); to the same, to enable him to provide himself with a well-man), and keeping also a few horses (less could not qualified interpreter to assist him in his labours among these tribes, and to aid in procuring a translation of the Liturgy, the Psalms, the Gospels, and some select hymns, into the Chippewa tongue, as spoken by these tribes. Extract from the Rev. R. Flood's letter, dated Caradoc, September 4, 1835, addressed to the Bishop of Quebec, and sent by him to be communicated to the Subscribers to this "Upper Canadian Mission Fund," as one out of many proofs of the benefit resulting from their efforts to provide him with (what he had no other means of providing) disposable funds to meet contingent openings, and "to lengthen his cords." (Is. liv. 2, 3.) "It is now better than two months since I first commenced visiting the Bear Creek and Monsec Indians, who are as yet in a heathen state, residing on the banks of the river Thames, in the extreme part of this township. I was principally induced to try my own efforts, from the circumstance of their unwillingness to join the Methodists, who are established among some Indians about four miles distant from those I now allude to. I have now the unspeakable delight to inform you that my humble services have been crowned with success so far, that I have gained their attention, and that they are now attending my ministry statedly every alternate Sabbath, on which I have to preach twice, as their languages are quite distinct. On last Sabbath there were between forty and fifty in attendance; and their demeanour altogether was marked with attention and reverence, which, from pure pagans, may be considered extraordinary; so that I am inclined to go through the work I have for them), I cannot cover Upper Canada is divided into twelve districts, which require for their scattered population (as may be seen from the above instance of Chatham and Delaware) travelling missionaries, even where settled resident missionaries are fixed within the district. Four out of the twelve only are yet provided for, and a well-qualified missionary, Mr. Green, is gone out to supply a fifth, the utmost extent the present funds allow. Thank God, however, that in this country it is only necessary to bring such a state of things fairly before the public eye to have "the cruse" supplied. Encouraged by the above addition, as an earnest that the benevolent views of the bishop will meet still further support from the public, a treaty has been opened with a third gentleman to proceed without delay. The fund is not at present equal to this increased expenditure, but "the Lord's arm is not shortened," and upon that we must rely. "Our need (says the bishop in one of his letters dated Toronto, March 27, 1835,) of churches, parsonages, ministers, and of funds to supply them, is great indeed. The people here come forward to do their part, but their means are very, very small. Pray ye the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers into this desolate vineyard." And in another letter, "The want of any funds at my disposal is a great inconvenience to me, and a sad hinderance to our progress: many of our most deserving missionaries are reduced to such a degree as greatly to impair their efficiency on the extensive sphere in which they are called upon to minister. There is no provision for any new missionaries either in Upper or Lower Canada, and they are 'greatly needed by large congregations. Of these the largest and most destitute are for the most part, emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland recently settled, very poor, and consequently wholly unable to contribute to the maintenance of the ministry, or provide for the support and extension of the Church to which they belong." By Order of the Hon. and Right Rev. the Bishop of Quebec, W. J. D. WADDILOVE, By whom subscriptions will be received. Beacon Grange, Aug. 1st, 1836. (From the Newcastle Journal, of August 20, 1836.) Miscellaneous Ecclesiastical Intelligence. DIOCESE OF CHESTER.-New churches are about to be erected at Openshaw and at Harpurhey; these are the fruits of the Manchester Church-Building Society, which goes on flourishingly. DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER.-Dr. Otter was consecrated bishop of this see on Sunday the 2d of October, in the private chapel at Lambeth, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the Bishops of London and Rochester. The sermon was preached by the Rev. C. W. Le Bas, from 2 Cor. ii. 16. DIOCESE OF CORK.-The Lord Bishop of Cork held a confirmation at Cove on the 13th, at Cloyne on the 15th, at Blarney on the 17th, at Mallow on the 20th, at Doneraile on the 21st, at Mitchelstown on the 22d, at Fermoy on the 23d, and at Macroom on the 27th ult. (Sept.); and immediately after the confirmation at each place held a visitation of the clergy of the adjoining district. The attendance of persons to be confirmed was very considerable. During the progress of his tour he made an extensive inspection of churches and schools.-Dublin Record. DIOCESE of DROMORE.-The Bishop of Dromore, since the annual visitation of his clergy in July last, has personally inspected almost every church in the diocese-held confirmations in them, administering that sacred rite to more than 2000 young persons-and examined into the good order and arrangement of the clerical duties in each parish.-Ibid. DIOCESE OF FERNS AND LEIGHLIN. The Lord Bishop of Ossory and Ferns has completed an extensive and necessarily laborious circuit of his lordship's new dioceses of Leighlin and Ferns, in the course of which he held visitations in the respective towns of Carlow, Baltinglass, Newtownbarry, Gorey, Enniscorthy, Wexford, Tintern, New Ross, and Maryborough. The right rev. prelate also administered the solemn rite of confirmation to upwards of 3000 young persons in these several parts of the diocese, and visited the clergy in the neighbourhood, — Kilkenny Moderator. DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL.-These two being now joined, and such alterations made as recommended by the ecclesiastical commissioners, the bishop of Gloucester, Dr. Monk, will immediately enter upon the episcopal jurisdiction of the united see. DIOCESE OF RIPON. This newly-formed diocese will consist of two archdeaconries, both in the gift of the bishop, viz. the archdeaconry of Richmond, consisting of the deaneries of Richmond, Catterick, and Boroughbridge, and so much of the deanery of Kirby Lonsdale, as is in the county of York; the archdeaconry of Craven, of the deaneries of Pontefract and Craven. DIOCESE OF WINCHESTER.-By a government order, the salaries of the clergy in the island of Guernsey, which were from 601. to 70l. a-year, have been increased 50%., with 10%. in lieu of tithe on fish, now abolished, as hurtful to the fisheries. CHURCHES. Foundation-stone laid at Newbridge, Glamorganshire, by Bishop of Llandaff, Sept. 10. New churches are about to be erected at Accring ton, and at Shaw in the parish of Melksham, Wilts. CONSECRATION OF NEW CHURCHES. St. Peter, Malvern Wells, erected at the sole expense of the Rev. E. P. Boissier, consecrated by Bishop of Wor cester, Sept. 20th. Chapel at Littlemore, in the parish of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford, by Bishop of Oxford, Sept. 22. The clergy of Islington have just issued an appeal to the inhabitants of that parish, for the purpose of raising 60001, to enable them to erect three additional churches within its limits. Its present population is estimated at 42,000, and the accommodation in the six churches amounts to 9,500, or one church to about 7,000 inhabitants. To enable them to build three churches, the sum of 9000l. will be required. If 60002. can be collected in the parish in the course of four years, the remaining 30007. has been promised from the Metropolitan Fund. The subscriptions already amount to about 2000. The amount subscribed to the Metropolis Churches' Fund up to the present date is 78,000. By the new act which has been passed relative to chapels of ease in Ireland, there can be no doubt but that the Protestant interest will be materially strengthened. LONDON.-New Church in St. Bride's parish. On Sunday Oct. 16th, after the morning service, a sermon, in aid of the fund for building an additional church in the parish of St. Bride's, was preached at the parish church by the Rev. Henry Melvill, B.D. The Rev. Thomas Dale, the vicar, preached in the evening. On both occasions collections were made, amounting together to 2671. 7s. 4d., to which may be added 16007. collected in the course of the last three or four days.

White, M.A. of Univ. coll. Oxford, has been instituted as second minister of St. Andrew's chapel, Glasgow. Efforts are making to erect a chapel at Ayr, where the Episcopalians are supposed to amount to 400, many of them poor Irishmen. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has voted £100 for the object. The congregation at present meet in the upper floor of a storehouse! CHURCH IN THE WEST INDIES, &c. DIOCESE OF BARBADOES.-At an ordination held by the Lord Bishop in the cathedral of St. Michael, Barbadoes, July 25th, the Rev. J. Fothergill, of St. Bees' coll. ; Rev. W. H. B.

CHURCH BENGAL, June 1.-Rev. R. Arnold, to be district chaplain at Cattuck; and the services of Rev. W. Sturrock are placed at the disposal of the lieut.-governor of the north-western provinces. THE CHURCH IN INDIA.-In Bengal there are 37 persons on the ecclesiastical establishment of the Church of England-the bishop (of Calcutta), the archdeacon, domestic chaplain to the bishop; all the rest are chaplains at the different churches in the presidency. The total annual expense of the Church establishment in Bengal is 457,116 sicca rupees. The total annual expense of the Scotch Church in Bengal is 22,414 sicca rupees. An annual allowance of 4,800 sicca rupees is also made to the Roman Catholic priests. The annual expenditure at Singa'pore, Prince of Wales' Island, Malacca, including an allowance to Roman Catholic priests at the last-mentioned place, is 2,4831. At Madras there are 24 persons on the establishment-the archdeacon, the senior and junior of the presidency; the rest chaplains at the various churches. The total annual expense is 206,562 sicca rupees. The expense of the Scotch Church at Madras is 20,685 sicca rupees. Allowance to Roman Catholics, 5,922 rupces. At Bombay there are 12 per B. Harper, as assistant cur. in the parish of St. George, Basseterre, in the Island of St. Christopher; and on the same day granted a license of non-residence to the Rev. J. Vincent, B.A. rector of the parish of Scarborough, in the island of Tobago, for six months. DIOCESE OF QUEBEC.-The lord bishop has been obliged to visit England, in the hopes of regaining health and strength, having suffered from the arduous duties of his diocese. IN INDIA. sons on the establishment--the archdeacon, the senior chaplain of the presidency, the junior and garrison chaplain, and nine other chaplains. The expense of the establishment, 155,005 rupees. The expense of the Scotch Church is 21,944 rupees. Allowance to Roman Catholics, 4,080 rupees. The several amounts of expenditure in English money are as follow:Bengal, with Singapore, P. W. Island, and Malacca, 50,9167., Madras, 21,894., Bombay 19,9981.-total, 89,8087. In addition to this sum, incurred in India, there was also defrayed at home in the same year, for pensions and furlough allowances to chaplains, the sum of 7,785., making altogether 97,5931. All the above statements relate to the year 1834; since that time, however, the labours of the Bishop of Calcutta, formerly quite overwhelming, have been materially diminished by the erection of new bishoprics, of Madras, Bombay, and Australia, which promise to be of infinite importance to the furtherance of the great work of propagating the Gospel in the East. Comparing the religious state of India at the present moment, as far as our own countrymen are concerned, with what it was at the commencement of the present century, there is much cause for gratitude. Miscellaneous Ecclesiastical Intelligence. DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER. During the last week in October, East Grinstead and its neighbourhood was the scene of much interest. The bishop on Tuesday morning consecrated the lately erected chapel at Forestrow, when a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Nevill, vicar of the parish. On the following morning he consecrated the chapel at Danehill, when the Rev. J. Anderson preached. The next morning his lordship performed the same ceremony at Holty, in the parish of Hartfield. Thus have three chapels, in three adjoining parishes, been added to the Established Church. During the short period the bishop has filled the see, the new church of St. Paul, at Chichester, had been consecrated Oct. 13th. DIOCESE OF EXETER.-The Scilly Islands.-These islands have recently been declared, by act of parliament (as they were previously understood to be), within the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Exeter. They are six in number. Augustus Smith, Esq., to whom the lease of the islands has been granted by the crown, is proprietor of the whole. A clergyman re sides at St. Mary's, under the title of the Lord Proprietor's chaplain, who has the care of the church of St. Mary's, and in his official capacity occasionally visits the other churches on the islands. The present chaplain is the Rev. E. I. Wilcocks. In 1752, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge accepted a small trust from the Rev. William Hartshorne, rector of Brosely, Salop, from which, with the contributions of other individuals, and a regular annual sum from its general funds, it has maintained two clergymen, and has supported schools upon the principal islands. The pastoral charge of St. Martin's and St. Agnes has been committed to one of these-that of Fresco, Bryher, and Sampson, to the other. Upon all of these, which are called the off-islands, there are churches or chapels, excepting upon Sampson, which is very small, and the inhabitants of which can easily cross to Bryher.-Society's Report for 1836. The new church of St. Mary's, Penzance, has been consecrated by the bishop of the diocese. |
