trict of the nkanufacturing town of Oldham, Lancashire, was
laid on the Ith, by the Bishop of Manchester. The population
of Werneth is about 4,550, for which there is no church ac-
commodation, if a small mom capable of holding about
fifty persons is excepted. The estimated cost of the build-

ries, curate of Brecon, under the assumed name of
" Eglwysdd," against the ltev. W. Rowlands, curate of
Merthyr. They were-Ist. Allowing Sunday-school pupils
to recite chapters in the parish church. 2nd. Allowing a
Dissenter to pray on the burial-ground atfu-r service was
over. The commission sat for some hours with closed
doors, and then reported that the charges were not proved
by the evidence. The Bishop of Llandall has, however,
expressed disapprobation at the irregularities which have
occurred in the administration of public worship, and at
the mode in which it. was brought before the public. His
letter was read to the parties by the Archdeacon of Llandat!,
in the presence of the members of the commission.

grace the zuvlibishop, and the lords, the bishops, the tipper
House, respectfully calling their attention to the urgency of the
case, and praying their concurrence in appointing committees of
both houses to consider conjointly of the best means of remedy-
ing this defect, and supplying this want in our Church system.

tions to prepare a draft of such representation, and to submit it
