THE CHURCH.

We congratulate the friends of the Established Church
on the progress the venerable Society for promoting Chris-
tian Knowledge is making in most parts of the British do-
minions. An institution that reckons amongst its patrons
and directors the whole Bench of Bishops, all the Dignita-
ries of the Church, with very few exceptions, and the
great body of'the clergy, cannot fail to excite in the public
a confidence that its proceedings will be conducted on sound
principles. Such has been the effect produced in an ex-
traordinary degree in Liverpool. The clergy of that town
have lately, under the sanction of the Bishop of Chester,
appealed to their flocks in behalf of this charity. 'they
were reproved in a friendly manner for not bringing its
claims earlier to their notice. And the result was 5.52
new aubscribcrs to its list.

SEA MEN.—The Quebec Gazette, of Nov. 24, observes—
" that as the season advances the difficulty of procuring
sailors increases ; not from a scarcity in the port, but
owing to the determination of many to winter here; when
they know they are sure of employment, in preparing rigg.
ing for new vessels to be launched next Spring. Several
vessels are now ready for sea, but arc waiting for seamen,
who demand from 18 to 20 guineas per man for the run."
