udeep the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Aber-

consider conducive to the welfare of the Church, and to

Pool coLi'lAsTicAL Mesta—The establishment in Liver-

ought not to pass unnoticed. The society
services as
advantage of Mr. William Sudlow's eminent
better - conductor. It is certain that there is no one

tical .tudy of ch le a .

onl inusleal library in Liverpool, and has devoted not
our
much time, but also much money to promote it in
Parish Church. For the excellent choir at St.
ii.:.eicnolas's, he is entitled to all the credit, for he has paid
n salaries of many of the choristers out of his own

Simple music of the church was brought out by the, choir
which he had instructed.
THE VICAR OF FROME.—On St. Peter's-day, the Rev.
W. J. E. Bennett, Vicar of Frome, presented an offering
of £l3O to the churchwardens of the parish church of St.
Peter's, for the purpose of paying all debts incurred by
them connected with the church previous to Lady-day
last, the church-rate having been applied for and refused.
All church-rates are now, by consent and advice of the
Vicar, abolished, as well as pew-rents, which are well
known to be illegal. The weekly offertory is now
restored, in accordance with the ancient usage of the
Church, and the proceeds devoted to the maintenance of
the worship of Almighty God, the relieving and visiting
the sick and needy, and educating the poor children of
the parish. It may as well be mentioned that the Vicar
entertained at dinner, on the same day, nearly one hun-
dred poor communicants, and distributed five hundred
buns to the Church school-children. It is now the Vicar's
custom, upon every saint's day, to invite some of the poor
communicants to a dinner, provided entirely at his sole
charge; so that whilst administering to their spiritual
Wants he does not neglect their bodily comforts.

SUSPENSION OF PRIEST'S ORDERS.—Much excite-
been caused in the diocese of Durham, in con-
sequence of the suspension from priest's orders of one of
the Prizemen of Durham University, who has been for
some time past acting as curate in a populous district. He
Was in deacon's orders, and applied to be admitted to the
Priesthood at the recent ordination ; but just before the

'Church memorialised the bishop, stating that the Rev.
11. Blunt, their curate. was in the habit of preaching
the doctrine of the mass, had exaggerated the authority of
the Church and her ministers, had insisted upon the evils
resulting from the exercise of private judgment, the power
of remission of sins vested in the clergy, and the doctrine
of transubstantiation ; and that, moreover, on one occa-
sion he inculcated the practice of having the cross upon the
altar, and wearing it upon the person. Mr. Blunt denied
having preached Romish doctrine, and submitted his
sermons. The bishop acquitted him of this charge, but
alleged that his language was " mystical and confused."
The result was, that the bishop suspended the reverend
genwetleman from taking priest's orders for the period of
eve months.

°CRESTER CATHEDRAL CHAPTER.—The Bishop
on ester commenced a formal visitation of his cathedral
14
. Tuesday, in order to institute an inquiry into the state
the endow' ments, the emoluments of the canons, minor
canons, j
...- lav clerkst &c., and to take such steps in
re-
ference thereto as in his judgment he might think peces-
-1117. Service having been performed in the choir, the
'''lshop retired to the chapter-house, where he . occupied
Presidential chair, and was assisted in transacting.the
,Quiness before bim by the Right Hon. Stephen Lushing-
, D.C.L Chancellor of the diocese, Mr. John Burder,
Of ~
Rochester, his
l Parliament-street, and Mr. Essell, of
.Xdshp's legal secretaries. All the members of thef
the answered to their names, with the exception. o
squirm n• and Rev. F. Hotham. Upon the Bishop in-
Itiarl whether any presentments were to be made? the
t.lf the it; Shepherd handed in a document, complaining
-ecluen:p"ittlee which the minor canons suffered in con-
rove -al th l in which the cathedral

is distributed, and which was a clear viola-
ought t Liie statutes by which the Dean and Chapter
a Prese°,°o bound. The Rev. Robert Whiston also made
ances olflttnent, setting forth in succinct terms the griev-
troretn which he complained when engaged in the con-
man '3' with the Dean and Chapter, and embodying
Pan3„l,af the statements contained in his celebrated
for ~.r,"let, entitled Cathedral Trusts and their Fulfilment,
'frot,""„}ch he was dismissed by the Dean and Chapter
Ward tee mastership of the grammar school, but after-
are ta restored under circumstances with which the public
le- laitlar. He complained that, notwithstanding the
•ezattakeable manner in which public opinion had been
lishr,sed in reference to the late long-protracted and
'that—tat struggle, the Dean and Chapter continued to set
o Public opinion at defiance, and to deprive the other
.:qtueers of the cathedral, lay and clerical, of their fair and
ttitahie sh
are of the revenues, appropriating to them-
:Yes far more than was their due. Mr. Whiston having
t3itse a general statement, requested the permission of the
i"oP to be heard 't The Bishop, having con-
'suite • upon i .
h„ with Dr. Lushington, informed .. • Mr. Whiston that
DLeould not hear him upon that occasion, but might,
I,,',,"iaPs, do so at a future time. For the present, it
• uuld be sufficient if the reverend gentleman would hand in h;„
co.:,` Presentment in writing, in order that it might re-
,,..,`Yre due consideration at his lordship's hands. This
(rl'un se Mr. Whiston immediately adopted. Present-
erents were also made by the lay-clerks. All were con-
,inatorY of the cupidity of the Dean and Chapter, an.d
,d„lne inefficient manner in which they discharged their
tinY, holding, as they did, benefices in various parts of
uu cowl,
co, `try, which prevented them paying proper atten-
r_, to the cathedral. It was stated that the average
iaalment for every sermon preached by a canon residen-
didYd',:as just upon £lOO, while the minor canons, who
the 1 flail duty, were rewarded with less than £l5O a-year,
a, Y-clerks at the same time receiving amounts which
:7cUY enabled them to subsist. The Bishop having re-
7oevved the presentments, and beard a variety of state-
a? nts said he would appoint a future day for their con-
siderati
bu • onafter the transaction of some further
illness, the proceedings terminated."
