DIOCESAN INTELLIGENCE,

SALISBURY.—Steps have been taken to enlarge, repew,
and renovate the parish church of Liddington, near
Swindon, Wilts, and which improvements, it is expected,
will be made in the course of the ensuing summer. _

The parish church of Hinton Saint Clary, near Stur-
minster Newton, Dorset, is to be taken down and re-
built in the course of the ensuing summer, and the ser-
vices of the church will be performed in the National
School room, until such time as the new church will be
ready for consecration.
It is intended to rebuild the parish church of War-
brook, near Chard, in this diocese, at an expense of
about 1,0001., rendered necessary in consequence of the
dilapidated state of the present edifice, and the insuf-
ficiency of the accommodation afforded therein. The
funds will be raised principally by voluntary contribu-
tions, aided by grants from the Church Building So-
cieties, and a church-rate, which has been granted for
that purpose.
The Bev. E. Caswall, Clerk, M.A., Perpetual Curet e
of Stratford, under the castle of Old Sarum, has re-
signed that preferment, which is a curacy of small
value, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury
Cathedral.

STEAM TO AUSTRALIA.—We perceive that Mr. Wag-
horn, of overland to India celebrity, is to attend a meeting
which is to be held at the London Tavern on Friday next, at
twelve o'clock, to give his valuable opinion upon the advaa-
tages to be derived from opening a steam communication

LIVES OF THE KINGS OF ENGLAND. BY THOMAS
ROSCOE, ESQ.—The first volume of the above work, which
will supply a want long felt in our literature, has just ap-
peared, printed in a similar form with Miss Strickland's
popular "Lives of the Queens." It comprises a most in-
teresting biography of William the Conqueror, full of
personal anecdotes, which will be new to the generality of
readers, and displaying great historical research and critical
taste and judgment. There can be little doubt, to use the
, words of the prospectus, that " The Lives of the Kings of
England will prove a valuable auxiliary to those readers,
who, fond of tracing effects up to their true causes, are
desirous of ascertaining the real share contributed by each
of the British Sovereigns to those results which have con-
ferred on our country and nation their present proud 0
pre-
eminence in power, prosperity, freedom, and glory.

WINTER IN AMERICA.—A correspondent, writing
from New York under the date of the 28th of February last,
says—" We are enjoying (?) a most severe winter: snow
three feet deep in the streets, thermometer twenty degrees
below zero. The sleighing is magnificent—it is really quite
a treat, a good sleigh ride. And yet, with all this cold, the
sun over head being so brilliant, and the air so dry, you
would not feel it so niuch its you would suppm,"—Literary
