Simony, which is forbidden alike by the law eerier-
asticsl as well as the civil law of Eugland, still appears
to flourish. Among many such advortieements in the
public prints we need notice but one which tells ue that

A New QUALIFICATION rot HOLY ORDERS.—The
Lord Bishop of Rochester has just promulgated a novel
but by no means unwarrantable order to candidates for
ordination. He requires a certificate from each candi-
date that the effect that lie has power of voice sufficient
for his public ministrations; that lie hat no impediment
or hesitation ; and that his manner of reading is not
heavy or monotonous, but such as is well fitted for the
sacred functions which he will hese to gi,,,,ehgege, His
lordship also requires every candidate to read before
him previous to his ordin•tion. This regulation is likely
to have most beneficial effects, though Bishop Wigrain
is the first bishop who has made it.
