DIOCESAN Srnun.—At the anjournel twain for
Foiling:on, on 'ru,e,fity afternoon, the Vicar, who
preeile,l, read the circular letters received from the
Hishop.and then expressed his own opinions with regard
ti the proposed synod. Ile thought that the clergy
would not hr f.irly rapresented—thet three-fourths
euld 00. ens a Imo in the matters discussed.
I; tenni.; to the eueoeuful cenferences held in the
diocese of Norwich.he expressed approval of the system
of basing different centres, all the clergy being
eeognately represented. lie had, ho observed, at the
intelieg at Salisbury, ebjcetel to the form of the pro.
posel omit, Tiler° ought, he contended, to be a emu-
UlOll cattiest!, all the clergy being there. What was
wanted in these &ye war in acquaintanee on the part
of the 'Bah p wi;h bin clerey ;he hail n .ver yet been
fully acquainted with them. Oka he o tall not be it the
present state of things. 1; was otherwise with regard
to the Ili.hop of Norwich, who regularly visitee the
rural deaneries, preaohine in the churches throughout
the dioceu ; the late Bialiop of Carlisle did the malne.
Commenting on the resolution with respect to the synod
taking charge of tho work now carried on by the
vetnntory asereistirms, Mr. Monte referee 1 t 3 the con-
stitution of the Church Pastoral Aid Society as alai to
Diet of the Church Missionery Society, lio wan going
to say But both were originated within his time, at all
event. the Pastoral Aid Society was le attsd since he
*tine to Forlington, in order to render parochial
ministrations more effectud. The 643310 WWI so
favourably received that Dr. Piracy gave £lOO per

The Curates' Aid Society was then stsrte,l in opposition.
Now the Bishop wanted to simile:auto the varione
C but against this proposal it was Reid, " No,
there is • dill Innen i f doctrine, ant Wit difference of
doe! iine always will divl.le the t wo sore otim in question."
The (laurels Missionary Society, managed by • com-
mit..., of laymen and clergy, hal been doing *voluntary
vroi lc. the untied Income ameunting to 1:192,003, while
that et the other society sciroehy came up to £lOO,OOO
• year. Toe Bishop now raid, 'I will minage all this
for non." Mr. Rayne obs-rved that the different semis
-
hors mentioned were all doing good; why not let
them continue as at present' The Vicar ocpreesed the
opinion that practically nothing of any leeal force could
bra done at the truposad synod; the members would
on'y meet to talk. Ilia own plat, was that they should
hive in, etiogs in different metres, the clergy and lay-
men re "beg papers on different subjects efterwards to
be di -rived : he .14;04,1 meetings such as those of
the szientifio gaieties am at Sheffield—th. re could be •
mecum:Mu or tea. Mr. Rayne remarked that the
came t war a v ry critical timo fer the Church of

waat to yet possemion of the Gime:Les ; they hal already
claimed the churchyard., hadn't they? The Vicar:
Ten, where there is no cemetery, Mr. Motile added
that political dissenters in the llouee of Commons were
doing all the mile:thief. The choice unanimously fell
upon Mr. Robert flays., and Mr. Robert Host.

A lad of 11, named George Sullenly', was with him, to

way with him, promising him • lift, They bad a pint
