DIOCESAN SYNODS.—In compliance with a resolution
adopted at the meeting recently held in the Hanover-
square Rooms, in favour of the periodical holding of
Diocesan Synods, the clergy and laity of the diocese of
Gloucester met on Wednesday, in the large room of the
Bell Inn, Gloucester, for the purpose of considering this
question. The majority of the meeting was in favour of
the object proposed, on which several resolutions were
passed. It was then resolved that the meeting should
adjourn to Manchester, to meet on the 21st October.
THE FRIENDS OF THE CLERGY.—The second anniver-
sary festival of this society took place on Wednesday
evening, at the London Tavern, Sir W. Page Wood, M.P.,
presiding. In proposing the toast of the evening, the
chairman said that we had in England a body of 16,000
clergymen, continually increasing in number, but the
means of supporting whom by no means proportionally
increased. Their average income was believed to be not
£2OO per annum, and many men whose whole lives were
passed in the sacred duties of their office would therefore
not receive the poor pittance of £lOO. What sustained
them, however, in their course of duty was the assurance
that their wives and families would be maintained if they
should be left in what the world called want and destitu-
tion, and he was sure that this confidence would not be

misplaced. By the exertions mainly of one individual
they had now been able, in this their third year, to dis-
tribute assistance to no less than 83 nec

ssitous clergy-

men, to contribute to the support of 25 widows and-9
orphans, and to give permanent relief in, he believed, 10
cases of distress. That such an institution as this was
needed was shown from the fact, that in the very first
year of its existence there were no less than 35 applicants
for relief, in the second 55, and in the third 92. Mr.
kldrich, the secretary, read the list of subscriptions,
'-ich included donations of 100 guineas from the chair-
-10 guineas each from Lord John Russell and the
of Derby (whose name was received with great en-
thusiasm), and 600 guineas from Mr. John Lord, and
amounted altogether to the noble and almost unexampled
