DIOCESE OF CHESTER.
PREFERMENTS.—The Rev. John Watson was on Thursday
collated to the rectory of St. Peter, in the diocese of Chester,
void by resignation of the Rev. Frederick Ford, by the Lord
Bishop of Chester, patron in right of his see.—The Rev.
George Scott was the same day collated to the rectory of St.
Bridget with St. Martin's, in the city of Chester, void by the
death of the Rev. W. P. Hutton, by the Lord Bishop of
Chester, patron in right of his see.—The Rev. W. H. Strong
was, on the same day, instituted to the rectory of Newchurch,
in the county of Lancaster, void by cession of the Rev. F. A.
Bartlett, upon the presentation of the Rev. J. J. Hornby,
Rector oriVinwick, the patron, for this turn only, in right of
his rectory.—The Rev. Francis Haden Cope was, on the same
day, licensed to the stipendiary curacy of Windermere, in the
county of Westmoreland, upon the nomination of the Rev.
Sir Richard Fleming, Bart., the rector.

SINCE the accession of Dr. Graham to the see of Chester, in
the latter part of the year 1848, his lordship has consecrated
59 churches.
THE Salisbury Journal gives a full report of the primary
charge of the Bishop of Salisbury, from which it appears that
his lordship laid much stress on the example set him by his
predecessor, in the work he had accomplished. During the
16 years of Bishop Denison's episcopate, out of 556 churches
and chapels in the diocese, the number in which two sermons
were preached every Sunday had risen from 143 to 426, and
in which Holy Communion was administered monthly from
35 to 181.

ST. PAUL'S AND ST. BARNABAS.-It was intimated at the
sitting of the Consistory Court, on Friday, that judgment in
the cases of Westerton and Beale v. Liddell will not be deli-
vered until November.

one in Hulme, another in Ancoats, another in Miles Platting,
another again at the top of Rochdale-road, adjoining Colly-
hurst, and lastly one for the population of Cheetwood and
Strangeways, to be built in Waterloo-road. The last-
mentioned, at present, we believe, appertains to the Cathedral,
never having been yet been partitioned out to any church, or
had any special spiritual supervision, although upwards of a
mile in length, and three-quarters of a mile in breadth, and
containing a population of between eight and nine thousand.
The peculiarity of the Cheetwood Church will, we doubt not,
recommend it to the liberality of all classes of churchmen,
be they high, low, or broad. The committee (who, from
our advertising columns, it will be seen, number nearly
40) however they may differ in other church matters, are
all agreed,and are prepared to join hand and heart in building
a place of worship, to be entirely free from pew rents, in lieu
of which there is to be a competent endowment fund. No one
who enters the various places of worship, situated in or ad-
joining our poorest districts, but must deplore the almost uni-
versal absence of the masses of the people. The fact that out
of 450,000 only 190,000 attend the various places of worship
in Manchester and Salford, is a sufficient proof that some-
thing is lamentably wrong in our present parochial system ;
and ask the poor operative why he does not attend to his
church or chapel, and the reply often is, either that he has not
decent apparel in which to appear, or when he has gone to any
place of worship he has been placed behind the door, where it
has been impossible to hear, or in consequence of wealthy
pewholders, to approach nearer the pulpit. Here, then, at any
rate is one great difficulty removed ; here, surely, irrespective
of many other commendatory considerations, is a step in the
right direction ; and one or two facts which have come to oar
knowledge convince us that though contributions may 119:
