Dr. Travers Tvriss has been appointed by the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury Vicar-general of the province of
Canterbury, on the resignation of Sir John Dodson, ap-
pointed Dean of the Arches and Judge of the Prerogative

Court of Canterbury, in the room ofthe late Sir Herbert
Jenner Fust.

DEATH OF DR. KEATE.—The Rev. Dr. Keate expired
on Friday morning at his house in Hartley Wespall, Eton.
In him Eton has lost the most distinguished of her
scholars. During nearly a quarter of a century he guided
the studies and preserved the discipline of the school with
unparalleled success.

We are enabled to say that the Bishop of Exeter, on
reading the pamphlet entitled Miss Sellon and the Sisters
of Mercy, expressed to that lady his decided opinion, that
it is due to herself that she should make a public state-
ment on the matters contained in that pamphlet. With
this intimation Miss Sellon has declared her full inten-
tion of immediately complying.—Morning Chronicle.

A SILVER BAPTISMAL FONT.—Mr. Joseph Wolsten-
holme, of Sheffield, has just completed a silver electro-
plated baptismal font. The entire font is 38 inches high
and the diameter of the bowl 19 inches. It is intended,
we understand, to be placed in a new church in Lancashire,
where it will doubtless constitute a novel and highly at-

MUNIFICENT DONATION.--We understand that the
Rev. Dr. Warreford, who has so repeatedly given large
sums towards the erection of churches and schools in this
diocese, has sent a cheque for the amount of £30,000 to
the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, to be applied
to certain charitable purposes in proportions mentioned in
his letter—Bristol Journal.

THE REv. Mn. GRESLEY.—We learn that the Bishop
of Chichester has required from the Rev. Mr. Gresley, of
St. Paul's Church, West•street, Brighton, the return of
his license to preach in this diocese ; and that the assigned
grounds of the proceeding are the opinions held by the
reverend gentleman relative to the doctrines of confession
and absolution . —Brighton Gazette.

COLONIAL Bisnors.—Mr. Gladstone has just brought
in a bill to relieve bishops in the colonies, in communion
with the Established Church, and the clergy and laity in
communion with them, from legal oaths and disabilities
affecting the management of their church affairs. The
bill provides that bishops in Canada, New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward's Island, the
Cape of Good 'Hope, New South Wales, Victoria, South
Australia, Van Diemen's Land, and Western Australia,
may meet together from time to time to make all such
regulations as may be held necessary for the better con-
duct of their ecclesiastical affairs, but they are not in any
case to impose temporal penalties.

AWFUL OCCURRENCE AT OLDHAM.-Mr. Spencer
Suthers, a highly-respectable cotton merchant at Oldham,
committed suicide on Saturday week, by jumping down
the shaft of a coal mine, some 435 feet deep, grasping a
cord on his way down, that was attached to an iron cage
at the bottom. His body came down with fearful violence
upon the frame-work of the cage. His left leg struck the
frame-work of the cage, near the knee, and leg and boot
were instantly snapped off, and flew to a distance of several
yards. The right leg was also broken. The unfortunate
gentleman was quite dead when lifted up. He appeared
to have kept an upright position all the way down, but not
to have clasped the rope tight for any distance, for the
only marks of friction apparent were on the front of his
waistcoat and trowsers, which were also torn ; and the in-
side of his left hand, which was a mass of raw flesh. His
left side, in addition to his legs, was a good deal bruised
with coming in contact with the cage at the bottom of the
mine. He was sixty years of age, and leaves a widow and
three children,
