SAL': OP CHURCH PREFERMENTS.—Yesterday the perpe-
tual IILI,OW•011 to the rectory of Woodebester, dio. Gloucester, was imp-
lanted te public competition at the Auction Mart. The aen•aal income
was stated at 4301.; population 900; duties light. The living is
within two miles of titrood, and as easy distance from Bath, Glouces-
ter and Cheltenham. It was ao'd (subject to the life of the present
Incumbent, the live. Dr. Williams, meal lii) for 2,7401.—The next

come 3001., population 82 (the incumbent aged 7n, was knit:iced
down for 1,5902., which was below the reserved price.
LIBERALITY OP THB BISHOP Op IiRISTOL.—The mention
in a contemporary of a munikoent donatiou by the be-I.op of the
diocese, does not clearly explain the matey. No grant io made by
the ethlethaatical commiothners to the diocese. The gift is that
sorely of the bishop, who hating din math of his interest in the lior-
field estate to the ecclesiastical disposal) was hW lord-
ship's own property, and entirely at his own , 11W lordehip
set apart a certain portion for the future endowment of the living od
Itorfield, and then divided the reskloe, taking a moiety Kr himsei,
sortaeld,
adding the other moiety, 5,791/. Ins., to a cum which his lord-
ehip had annually appropriated out of Ms income for the endowment
of small livings, which amount.' to 3.4451. to. 6d., making In the
whole the sum of 9,2382. 17s. Gd., which Ms lordship has determined
to invest in the names of public Violets for the endowment of small
livings. Such munificence as this needs no comment; bat it should,
we think, be fairly eat forth ea an example to others who pommel the
means to perform similar deeds of generosity and selddeniaLa-
Bristol Jon'eal.
