THE BIsHOP OP LONDON'S FUND.—Yesterday a
general hoard meeting in oonnexion with this fund
was held at the offices in Pall-mall. The Bishop
of London presided, and said that since he
last had the pleasure of meeting the board some
matters of importance bed occurred to which he
might be allowed to call their attention. When they last
met they received an intimation that the Bishop of
Rochester was anxious to inset the e seen tire committee, and
abuse that time the committee bad bad as interview with
the bishop and his archdeacons. It had been decided to
continue the grants to those parishes within the old
diooes of London which had been transferred to the diocese
of Rochester. The grants would be continued for two
years name! namely, full giants from Midsummer 1868 to 1869,
and shoat Midsummer 1869 to 1870, half the amount of
grants at present paid. He did not know whether any inti-
mation bad been received that that proposal was accepted
by the authorities of the diocese of Rochester ; but, after
full consideration, it seemed to be the beet way in which
the matter could be dealt with. The work bad been
undertaken in those parishes while they were in the
diocese of London, and so if all aid had been suddenly
withdrawn, it must inevitably have suffered. Mush more
had been given to that part of the diocese than had been
remised from it, and no injustice would have been done if
the gnats had been withdrawn, but part of the wriginid
deaden of the Bids" of Load n's Fund was to preemies
web, work in 06 of the metropolis, and be
hoped the parishes now in the diocese of Rochester would
not stiffer by the course which had been adopted. His
lordship then proceeded to mention the special donations
received since the last meeting and some other matters.
and the proceedings terminated.
CHURCH OPENGLAND SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.
—The annual meeting of the friends of thissocietv was held
last evening in the large room at Exeter-halt, the Rev. Dr.
Miller in the chair. The report, read by the secretary,
stated that owing to the want of capital the publications
of the society had not been so numerous as the committee
could desire. With a view to increase the efficiency of
Sunday school teachers they bad offered prizes for the best
designs on teaching. Prizes had also been given for a
knowledge of the Prayer-book, as they believed it to be of
the utmost importance that young children should be
thoroughly acquainted with the Book of Common Prayer.
The sum received m donations and subscriptions during
1867 was 1,7311. de. 9d.; 66 new wheels had been added to
the list. The total sum received for publications, ho , was
2,668/. Bs. Id., but the sum plated at the disposal of the
committee was totally insufficient to wry out the object
of the society to lay the foundation of religious education
broad and deep. The chairman remarked upon the
importance of the society to combine unity of purpose
among Sunday-school teachers. The publications of the
society had accomplished a great deal of good. They would
admit that Sunday-schools were • necessity, and
thouaands of little ones could, by the aid of Sunday-
schools come within the fold of the Lord. He moved
the adoption of the report which was unanimously carried.
HONE MISSIONARY IWILTY.—The annual meet-
ing of this society was held last evening in Finsbury
Chal, when there was • large attendance ; Mr. Samuel
Morir presided, supported by Mr. T. Barnes, ILP., Rev.
Dr. A. M. Brown, Rev. Newman Hall, Mr. H. Spicer,
Rev. J. H. Wilson, he. The report stated that daring the
past year the agent of the Home Miasioaary Society
prowled the Gospel in 576 towns, villages, and hamlets
eoataining • population of nearly 800,000 souls, speeitti
over 39 counties in England and Wales. In the mission
chapels and rooms there were 42,000 adult hearers,
17,663 children taught on the Sunday by 1,969 teachers,
and 1,589 young persons in bibles asses, besides
nearly 2,000 children under instruction in 34 week-
day school.. The organisation consisted of 55 grouped
stations, each station having from three to eight villager,
forming one group, sixty patentee, with one or two vil-
lages to each ; and 70 evangelists, who do the same kind
of work in the counties which efficient city missionaries do
in towns. Last year these evangelists visited 26,000
families ; held 6,000 cottage and other meetings ; diatri-
bitted 362,000 tracts, and, with the other agents, sold
1,722 copies of the Scriptures, more than 110,000 religious
wiodicals, and were the means of bringing 1,105 mem-
ben into the fellowship of the mission churches. Com-
pared with the returns of 1866-7, the number of grants
showed a large increase. Compared with those of 1863,
when thos present systole of meana was adopted,
the numbers are as 115 to 191, while 217 labourers have
been added to the free service roll, the largest number of
agents and free workers ever employed by the society.
The east of these enlarged operations has fallen in aesrly
equal proportions on the Home Missionary Society, county
associations, and the peisple =cart whom the missions-
riee have been at work ; and au zealous and earnest have
most of the county associations now become, that if the
society had the means, twenty additional evangelists could
at once be placed in the field. The chairman advocated
the claims of the society, and speeches were delivered by
Mr. Baines, M.P., Rev. Dr. Brown, Res. Newman Hall,
he. Let year's illOOl7lO was 7#271., and the expenditure
6,4311.

society undergone • cheap, whisky the members
had obtained greater control over the management of itS
affairs and the distribution-id its funds. The name of the
inelitutidilshas also been slightly altered. It was formerly
salted the " Sooiety for Promoting the Boiplorment of
Additional Curates in Populous Places." The Bishop
of Llandairt in moving the adoption of the report,
sketrhed a gloomy picture of the spiritual desk'.
