DIOCESE OF CHESTER.
CONSECRATION.—The new church of Saint Margaret, at
Dunham Massey, in the parish of Bowdon, Cheshire, recently
erected at the sole charge of the Earl of Stamford and War-
rington, at a cost of upwards of £lO,OOO, was consecrated by
the Bishop of Chester on Wednesday last ; it contains 663
sittings, of which 200 are free, but the church has been built
with reference principally to the wants of the district, which
is one almost exclusively inhabited by the wealthy. The
noble earl has endowed it with a sum of £BO per annum for the
minister, and a sum of £2O per annum as a repair fund. The
pew rents will also furnish a considerable amount in aug-
mentation of the income of the clergyman. The patronage is
vested in the earl, his heirs and assigns; and it is in contem-
plation to assign part of the parish of Bowden as a district to
the new church. The Rev. J. Kingsley, for 20 years curate
of the parish church, is to be the first incumbent.
The new church at Willaston, in the parish of Nestor, is to
be consecrated by the Lord Bishop on Thursday next, at two
o'clock.

PREFERMENT.—Rev. Henry Maclean has been licensed by
the Lord Bishop a.s Clerk in Orders of the parish church of
Wigan, on the nomination of the Rev. H. J. Gunning, the
rector.
VACANCY.—The Rectory of Tattenhall, in the county of
Chester, by the resignation of the Rev. G. R. Moncrieff.
Value £277, with a house. Patron, the Lord Bishop of
Chester.
ON ST. BARNABIEIe DAY, the ground was broken for a new
parsonage-house, at St. Barnabas, Kensington. This will be
the first parsonage built on a new principle lately admitted by
the Church Commissioners, in cases where, for the want of an
endowment, the Queen Anne's Bounty is unable, consistently
with its rules, to make a loan. The incumbent is permitted
to purchase the site, to build the house, and to make over both
to the Church Commissioners, charging the living with the
repayment of a portion of the capital advanced, secured in the
form of an annual rent-charge to himself or his heirs, in case
of his voidance of the incumbency within thirty years. The
admission of this precedent will be of great importance to
incumbents of uneudowed parochial districts.
A CONFIRMATION was held at Childwall, on Tuesday, by the
Bishop of Chester. The candidates, numbering about 350,
were from the surrounding districts of Garston, Grassendale,
Hale, Halewood, Woolton, Gateacre, and Wavertree, all in the
parish of Childwall.

ERECTION OF NEW SEES.—The third and final report of
the cathedral commission recommends the formation of twelve
additional bishoprics in England and Wales. Among the
proposed new sees are St. Columb (for Cornwall), Westminster
Gloucester, and Bristol (to be again made independent sees),
and Southwell.

having died of measles, no person could be found to carry its
corpse to its last resting place, when a poor old man offered to
perform that charitable office; and had, after resting once or
twice, reached so far as the churchyard, and had just deposited
his fatal burden on a stool, at the head of the grave, when his
head fell upon his breast, and he sank to the earth and died
without a pang.

SIR J. 13ROOICE AND THE PIRATES.—The followine, is an
extract from a letter, bearing date the barque S—, off' Sin-
gapore, Easter Monday :—" They have humbugged us here
nicely. Owing to Sir J. Brooke's being brought to trial for
murder, or going beyond his orders, he did nothing towards
stopping the pirates from gathering again, and now they are
out again stronger than ever. He was tried while we were
in Singapore, (the chief justice of Calcutta coming down on
purpose,) and acquitted ; but the mischief was done. I heartily
wish some of the heads' were out here, and could see some of
the scenes that are witnessed here now, again and again. A
junk is taken, (a pirate junk,) her decks are one mass of blood,
her paint all stained with it, torturing instruments of all kinds
on board, and the men boasting how many they have killed."
LORD HARDINGE has issued a general order on the subject
of the late attempted or pretended duel at Canterbury. Cornet
Evans, of the 6th Enuiskillens, is to be cashiered. Lieutenant
Webster, of the Ist Royals, is to retire from the service by
the sale of his commission. Lieutenant Hartopp is most
severely reprimanded, and his conduct is to be reported every
three months by his commanding officer for the information
of the commander-in-chief. Lord Hardinge considers Sergeant
Brodie's conduct in preventing the duel most praiseworthy,
but it would have been better if he had reported his appre-
hensions to his commanding officer the previous night. Cornet
Baumgarten is directed to be more on his guard for the
future, and his attention is called to certain sections in the
articles of war. Captain Fitzwigram's name is not mentioned,
although he is said to have been the prompter in most of the
transactions.
FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. GEORGE CITRZON.—Mr. George
Curzon, heir-presumptive to the barony of Scarsdale, and
cousin of the Earl Howe, met with an accident in Hyde Park
on Saturday, which has terminated fatally. He was riding
in Hyde Park, just before six o'clock, and when about mid-
way between Apsley-house and Stanhope-gate, in endeavour-
ing to pass by two carriages, his horse became restive, and
threw him on the edge of the footway. Mr. Curzon fell on
his head, which, it is believed, from the very serious injuries
he received, must have come in contact with the kerbstone.
He was immediately conveyed to St. George's Hospital, and
Mr. Holmes, the house-surgeon, on perceiving the extent of
the injuries sustained, called in the aid of Mr. C. Hawkins,
who immediately pronounced the case a hopeless one. A te-
legraphic message was then forwarded to Derbyshire, appris-
ing Mrs. A. Curzon, mother of the deceased, of the accident,
and she arrived in London early on Sunday, and reached the
hospital about an hour and a half before the death of her son.
Earl Howe had been by the bedside of his cousin during the
greater part of the night. The deceased. George Nathaniel
Curzon, was eldest son of the late Hon. and Rev. Alfred Cur-
zon, brother of Lard Scarsdale, and was born on the 6th of
October, 1826. His remains have besn removed to his lodg-
ings in South Audley-street.
LONDON NEW CATTLE MARKET.—At the inauguration of
the new cattle market at Islington. which took place on "Wed-
nesday, Prince Albert, who presided, said, in reply to the
address of the Corporation :—" I have been much pleased by
the opportunity which your kind invitation has afforded me of
seeing and admiring the great work which you this day open
to the public—a work which not only deserves alladmiration in
itself on account of the excellence of the arrangements and the
magnificence of the design, but which will, I trust, be found
eminently conducive to the comfort and health of the city of
London. That its success will be commensurate with the
spirit in which it has been undertaken and carried out I cannot
doubt. A certain dislocation of habits and interests must in-
evitably attend the removal of the great city market from the
site it has occupied for so many centuries, and this may possi-
bly retard for the moment the fullest development of the un-
dertaking. But any opposition arising from such causes will
soon cease, and the farmers will doubtless soon learn to appre-
ciate the boon thus conferred upon them by the London Cor-
poration, in the increased facility which will be afforded to
them for the transaction of their business, and the comparative
security with which they will be enabled to bring up and dis-
play their valuable stock in the Great Metropolitan Cattle
Market."
MERCANTILE FAILURES.—The Administrative Reformers
boast so much of the competency of mercantile men to manage
the affairs of state, that of coarse we may assume they are
perfectly capable of managing their own. It happens, how-
ever, that some ugly cases have turned up lately, and if report
speaks truly we shall in a few days have as flagrant a case
made public as has been exposed for years. We allude to
Messrs. Strahan, Paul, and Co., the bankers, who stopped
payment on Monday last. The city article in the Timer of
yesterday states that revelations have been made which place
this case-" as one of the worst on record." Their liabilities,
which they represented to be about £300,000, are more likely
to reach double that amount, and this enormous deficiency
is perfectly at variance with the causes which they offer
for their failure, so much so, continues the writer that there
is every reason to fear that for a long period the house has
been existing upon the property of those who confided in
them," so that these gentlemen for the last year or
two have been grossly violating every principle, not only of
honour, but of commercial and banking laws, in a manner
scarcely to be credited of the merest tyro in business. The
late case of Davidson and Gordon is another equally flagrant
example; and how many more could not be added to the list
of late years ? With every respect for the talents and honour
of the British commercial class, we beg to dembuursi
to
st their
sertion that they could transact the public
the
a proof of discretion
State in so faultless a manner. In the management of their
do cook accounts
own affairs, they give us none so greatand care. Railway and other companies
to
make things pleasant, and even some associations, according to
Colonel Freestun, will descend
.so lo the art of cookery, as
to embellish their bill atm with a list of absent and never-
intending-to-be-present honourable Members.—The Pren.
