SOCIETY POR PROMOTING THE BUILDING AND
REPAIPJNG OP CHURCHES AND CRAMS.

This society held its last meeting for the present
motion at the society's house, No. 7, Whitehall, S.W.,
yesterday ; the Lord Bishop of BATE and WELLS in the
chair.
There were also present the Venerable Archdeacon Sin-
clair, the Rev. Canon Wordsworth, Rev. Robert Trate*,
Messrs. John Boodle, George Coeburn, Robert Brehm,
William Rivingtoo, Rev. George Ainslie, secretary, and
Rev. Walter Field, assistant-secretary.
Grants of money amounting to 4,8604 were made in aid
of the following objects, viz. :—Bnildrog new churches at
Congresbury, near Bristol ; Bowden, in the parish of Wide-
canoe, near Ashburton ; Little Amwell, uear Hertford
Masborough, near Rotherham ; New Town, in the parish
of Alventoks, Banta St. Andrew's, Derby ; St. Jude's,
St. Pancras, Shrub-hill, in the parish of St. itarfin's, Wor-
cester ; and Wigfair, in the pariah of St. Aleph. Rebuilding
the churches at Alverstoka, *ear Gosport; Illumine,
rear Roes ; 80. Issas, near Tinily ; and Stoke Prior,
near Leominster. Enlarging or otherwise increasing the
accommodation in the churches at Cheestoks. near Bath
Colebrook, Bucks ; St. Benedict, Glastonbury ; Heading-
ton, Oxford ; halloo, near Bristol ; Streatham, Surrey ;

near Malden ; Trench, near North Walsham; Weston, sear
Kirkham, York ; and Wokingham, Berks. The grants for-
merly made towards increasing the aconnunodationlin the

near lialiguard ; Nicholas, Rochester; wich, near
Kimbolton ; flutterton, near Spaldiog ; and West Torring-
ton, near Wragby, Lioooln. The society likewise accepted
the following trusts for the repair of churches at Draoot,
near Wells, Somerset ; Barbourne, near Worcester ; Coavd
Rivet, near Carmarthen ; St. Catharine Ventuor, Isla of
Wight; Emsworth and Red Hill, near Havant, Hants.
At this meeting a lar-er number of applications were re-
ceived than on any previous occasion since the establish-
ment of the society. They were no less than 49 in all, and
the sum voted in aid of the many cases relieved by the
committee was quite two-thirds the amount of the society's
regular annual income. We have here a proof of the great
increase of church restoration, if not of church building,
throughout the country, and the urgent necessity of enlarged
contributions toward the support of the institution.

ORR NEW WAR IN CHINA. —We have IRILAOII tO be-
lieve (says the Globe of 'sat evening) that trustworthy advice'
have been received, corroborating in the main the private
telegram from Hong Kong, which announces that the
English and French forces had met with a check from the
Chinese rebels, and had been compelled to retire on Shanghai.
It will be recollected that the allies had been employed in
dislodging the rebels from various positions around that city,
which they occupied to the interruption of trade. Up to
the 18th of May, the latest date from which we have °Blasi
despatches from the scene of operations, the allied forms
had been uniformly successful. We now learn, however,
that they met with a disaster, and were obliged to give no
those positions from which they had driven the rebels, and
fall back on Shanghai. There are rumours about to the
effect that this has been accompanied by serious loss ; but
of this there is no authentic information. Beyond the fact
of a reverse, and a retreat to Shanghai, we have no infor-
mation ; and until the arrival of detailed accounts, it is idle
to speculate upon the circumstances or manner in which theme
untoward incidents occurred.

The rifle meeting at Frankfort proceeds appa-
rently with much spirit, the political Arent continuing
prominent. Little intelligence reaches us concerning the
shooting (for which the weather is very unfavourablo), be-
yond the general fact that the Swiss, more successful than
at Wimbledon, have carried off most of the earlier prizes.
At the Great Hall Alpine roses are sold, which are brought
in quantities from the Righi and the Finstersarhorn. A
notice is stuck up urging the riflemen not to visit the neigh-
bouring hells of Homburg, Wiesbaden, and Wilhelmsbad.
The Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha is extremely popular
among the riflemen. He is greeted everywhere with enthu-
siasm, and festivals have been given in his honour.

Every year a medal is struck at Rome commemo-
reties of some act of Papal power, on the occasion of the
fete of St. Peter. This year the device is the Priest of the
Apostles receiving alms from a man and woman, and the
inscription on the reverse is :—" Petri inopiam Christiant
stipe sustemant. Antique Pietas roomette. An. 1862."
THE QUEEN AT WINDAOR CASTLE.—Her Majesty
the Queen arrived at Windsor by special train, on the Great
Western line, precisely at 30 minutes peat 1 o'clock ',ester.
day afternoon. Her Majesty was accompanied by his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales and the other members of
the royal family, and attended by the ladies and geutlemen
of the court. Her Majesty bad on this occasion dispensed
with her long black veil, in which she was shrouded on her
former visit, and, although looking somewhat pale, ap-
Wto be in the enjoyment of excellent health. Her
delty proceeded through the town to the castle, with the
bliss d the carriage closely drawn down. The stay of
the court at Balmoral will not exceed a month, when her
ltcSe:ta will return to Windsor for • few days, and then
it
to Germany.
THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.—TUN-
BRIDGE Watts. MONDAY.—The ex-Queen of the French,
Marie Amilie,having received a telegraphic mirage on the
arrival of her grandsons, the Comte de Paris and the Comte
de Chartres, to the effect that they would leave Cork for Lon-
don on Saturday morning, proceeded to the railway station at
Tunbridge Wells, yesterday (Sunda)) morning, at 10 o'clocic,
with her daughter-in-law, the Duchess de Montpensier, and
her youthful family. The royal party waited the arrival of
the young princes, who arrived, accompanied by the Doc de
Nemours, Duc d'Aumale, Prince de doinville, and the Due
de Mootpensier. The meeting was truly affecting. The
young princes left by the 9.25 train this morning, in order
to inspect the International Exhibition.
KIRKCALDY BURGHS.—There are now in the
field Mr. Roger Aytoun and Mr. Henderson, both in the
liberal interest, and Lord Schomberg H. Kerr, brother of
the Marquis of Lothian, has published an address in the
" liheral-cosservative interest. The nomination is ex-
pected to be fixed for to-morrow, and the pulling for Thom
day next.
ANCIENT CHINFAE PORCEI.LIN.—A very choice
collection of ancient Chimes porcelain, enamels, sad car-
vings in jade, including specimens of extreme rarity and
beauty, and all brought from the Summer Palace at Pekin
be an officer, with other objects of art, was yestenky
biought to the hammer by Messrs. Christie Menace, and
Woods The whole realised upwards of 3,0001.
In a sale of choice illustrated and other books,
county histories, &c... which have during the last week
passed under the hammer of Messrs. Puttick and Simpson,
of Leicester-square, there recurred a volume of Theological
Tracts, including two works from the presses of Caxton and
Pynson, hitherto unknown to bibliographers. That muted
by Caxton consisted of the Mike for Trandiguration Day, on
ten leaves ; and that by Pynsoo, the Mlles for the suc-
ceeding day, oecumices 24 Mayes. An additional interest
is attached to the book from the circumstance of its being
the first printed io England for the service of the church.
The volume was sold, after an active competition, for 2001.
Its destination is believed to be the British Munn=
