Many comes of the prayer book are stopped wrong, the comma being after the word used, whereas there ought to be no comma; and the last editions of the prayer book have none. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—His Grace the Arch bishop of York closed his ministerial labours in his late diocese, by preaching on Sunday, the 9th of January, at St. Peter's, Hereford, an impressive sermon on behalf of the above institution. He selected for his text these words of St. Paul, " I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." In the course of his address, he made a special appeal on behalf of the society, in consequznce of the serious deficiency at present existing in its funds. It was stated by his Grace that the receipts of the society for the nine Months. ending December 31st, 1847, were less than its receipts for the corresponding period in the previous year by above £15,000; a deficiency, which if it be not made np, may seriously embarass the society, and,perhaps compel it to curtail its operations among the heathen at the very time, when, as his Grace observed, those opera tions are being largely blessed, and when new fields are everywhere presenting themselves, and inviting the society to enter upon them. His Grace alluded in a very gratifying manner to the prudence, wisdom, and economy with which the affairs of this great society are managed, and concluded an appeal, which was no less successful than earnest, by calling upon all who were " not ashamed of the gospel of Christ," to contribute liberally in helping to make that gospel known to the nations which are sit ting in darkness and in the shadow of death. A large collection was made after the sermon. TRACTARIANISM V. CHURCH AND STATE.—The dream in which they are delighting themselves just now is of this kind. They would like the existing Church of England, with its archbishops, bishops, deans, rectors, cathedrals, and churches, to be left entire and unimpaired ; its en dowments remaining undiminished • and the legislat ure and executive withdrawing from all future control over it ! They would then wish to form the said archbishops, bishops, &c., into a great ecclesiastical corporation, with its own synods, convocations, sec., and with the most ample powers of self-government. And this splendid dream they actually cherish, as if it were possible for any British Government or Legislature to give reality to it ! In these busy times our public men are not likely to un dertake so difficult and almost endless a task, as the un twisting the innumerable cords by which the state and the church are bound together. Hence, when we hear LLI INC Ituair separation of church and state ; this slavery cannot be en dured any longer :" we are always ready to reply— " You may separate this moment for yourself, by be coming a Dissenter. But as to the bishoprics and the rectories of the Church of England, you may rely upon it that they are not likely to be separated from State connexion for many years to come." Where, however, we hear the same exclamation from a Dis senter, we know that we are upon more real and honest ground, and therefore we have a different answer. To this objector we reply—" When you can, in fact as well as in fancy, divide a legislator or a statesman into two men, one under Christian obligations, the other not under Christian obligations, then we shall be able to understand —but not till then—how a Christian ruler can discharge his duties without employing all his functions to establish, promote, and maintain the knowledge of the gospel, and the pure worship of the only true God." —Record. EPISCOPAL SALARIES.—The revenue of the Bishops far exceeds the amounts which were anticipated by the public. It was imagined, for example, that Durham was to pay £B,OOO, or a salary equal to that of the Chief Jus tice in England. Instead of £B,OOO a-year, net, after all Imaginable deductions have been made for rates, taxes, quit rents, collection, agencies, outgoings of every des cription, and we know not what besides. In one year, the gross income was £37,161 165., and in another year, £29,806, 12s. Id. ; whilst the two lowest sums put down for thegrossreceipts are.£19,577 13s10d, and £22,4160s 2d. The Archbishop of Canterbury was to have an income of £15,000 a-year, which is all that a Lord Chancellor derives from the great offices which he holds, and which occupy his time both in Chancery, in the House of Lords, and in the Cabinet. The Lord Chancellor holds office only for a few years of Herculean la bour, and retires on a pension of £5,000 a-year. The Primate holds his high office for life, without respect to age, health, or capacity. The Lord Chancellor has no house provided for him and no outgoings defrayed. The Primate has palaces both in London and the country, and the revenue he receives is clear of all outgoings which do not attach to him personally. We speak of the future, for the present Archbishop does not come under this rule, and his income is much larger. The Archbishop of York was to have £lO,OOO a-year besides palaces and pleasure-grounds, and so also was the Bishop of London. A few of the other bishops were to have £B,OOO and £7,000 a-year, which are equal to the incomes of the Chief Justice of England, the Master of the Rolls, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. The incomes of the other bishops were to be about the same as those of the other judges, ranging from £4,200 to £5,000, exc l us i ve o f palaces and pleasure-grounds representing at least another £l.OOO a-year.—Record, RAILWAY AFFAIRS. 4 The works of the Liverpool and Bury railway have been recently re-commenced. The - Caledonian Mercury says, that in consequence of some subsiding at one or two points on the Caledonian Railway, the opening of the line has been postponed. The vacancies at the board of the Cheshire Junction Railway Company have been filled up by the appointment of the following gentlemen as directors :—Mr. Jas. Ban croft and Mr. William Gibb, of Manchester, and Mr. J. H. Rayner, of Liverpool. OPENING OF NEW LINES Ow RAILWAY.—The Stam ford and Oakham line on the 14th Feb ; the Wisbeach and Wallington this week; the Tiverton branch of the Great Western on the 14th Feb.; the Wakefield, Ponte fract and Goole on the Ist March ; and the Swansea and Newport next Spring. A daring American projector proposes a electric tele graph from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is already carried from the Atlantic to St. Louis, in the valley of the Mississippi, whence the distance to the Pacific is 2000 miles, and the estimate is that the line could be formed for 300,000 dollars. ATTEMPT TO THROW OFF A TRAIN.—On Sunday, before the arrival of the first train, it was discovered that a rail had been removed near the Moira station, on the Ulster railway, with the evident intention of throwing the train off. The defect was repaired, and the train passed on in safety.—Belfast Whig. Tlie North Staffordshire proprietors received with ap probation the reports and accounts presented at their half-yearly meeting. A dividend of ss. will be paid in July next from the profits of the canal and the part of the line to be opened in March. Th e wor k s , accor di ng to the engineer's statement, are more forward than could have been expected. The North Staffordshire railway. directors have pressed forward to compl e ti on those parts which were likely to become at once remunerative. The parts soon to be opened are, Stoke to Norton Bridge on the Ist of March ; Stone, to join the Trent Valley at Colwich, by the Ist of May ; also from Stoke by Harecastle to Crew ; and by Uttexeter to Burton ;—Thus completing a through com munication by the Potteries between Liverpool and Derby by August next. From our official returns it appears that the amount of traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3423 miles of rail way, was £147,391, thus accounted for : £71,453 for the conveyance of passengers only, £37,964 for the carriage of goods, and a remainder of £37,974 for passengers and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an increase of £16,612 over the corresponding week of the former year, when the mileage was 2,68 0 . The average earnings per mile for last.week were £43, whilst in 1847 they were £413.
