NEW CHURCHES.
THE thirty-fourth annual report of her Majesty's commis-
stoners for building new churches has just been printed.
In their last report the commissioners stated that 547
churches had been completed, in which accommodation
had been provided for 650,833 persons, including 328,853
free seats for the use of poor persons. They now state
that 23 churches, in addition, have been, by the aid of
grants from the funds placed at the disposal of her Majes-
ty s commissioners, since completed. In these 23 churches-
accommodation has been provided for 14,897 persons, in-
cluding 9,723 free seats for the use of the poor, as far as
the same can be at this time exactly ascertained. Thus,
in the whole, 570 churches have now been completed, and
provision has therein been made for 565,780 persons, in-
cluding 338,575 free seats for the use of the poor.
The commissioners further report that '27 new churches
are now in the coarse of erection, towards which they have
contributed aid upon certain conditions. Plans for 15 new
churches have been approved of, and plans for five other
churches are under consideration. The commissioners
have also afforded, or expressed their willingness to afford,
facilities for obtaining the sites for parsonage-houses in 26
parishes, and for the sites of churches in 7 others. They
have also constituted districts for 19 churches in the
parish of Manchester, which districts have now become
parishes and rectories under the Parish of Manchester
Division Act, 1850; 13 consolidated chapelries have also
been constituted, and district chapelries have been assigned
to 28 churches.
Several new churches are about being commenced in
the metropolitan districts, and some are so far advanced
as to be nearly ready for consecration. In Paddington
three new churches are to be at once commenced, the
Bishop of London having subscribed I,oooi. towards that
object. In Coventry street, Haymarket, between Rupert•
street and Princes-street, a church is to be erected, her
Majesty the Queen having subscribed 500/.; the Bishop of
London, 1,000/. ; Viscount Sydney, 25/. ; and Mr. W. T.
Egerton, M.P., 251., for that purpose. Three churches are
to be erected in Clerkenwell, an influential committee, of
which Lord Shaftesbury is at the head, having been formed
fur the purpose of raising the necessary funds. In the
parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, a large church is to be
erected, at the sole expense of Mr. J. Gellibrand Hubbard,
a site having been given by Lord Leigh. At Limehouse a
church is to be built, at the sole expense of Mr. William
Cotton. " A merchant," whose name has not transpired,
has offered to build and endow a church in any part of Lon-
don the bishop of the diocese may point out. In Kensing-
ton, lsleworth, Hammersmith, St. Pancras, Shoreditch,
Whitechapel, and other densely-populated districts, churches
are to be built. Among the new churches which are ap-
proaching completion are St. Matthew's, Oakley-square;
St. Luke's, Nutford-place ; All Saints', Notting-hill ; St.
Andrew's, Westminster ; Trinity Church, Newington ; and
one near Limehouse, built at the sole expense of Mr.
