LONDON CHustctiEs.—lt is alleged that extensive,
changes are in contemplation as regrdsfound to the parishes of
the City of London, the churches beaing exceed
the wants of the inhabitants :—" Out of forty-nine
churches, having an aggregate income of £29,000, twenty
nine are to be removed and twenty retained. In every
parish, the population of which exceeds 1,000, a stipend
of £l5O is to be assigned, and £125 for every 10010°'
tional parishioners. This would give for the twaty
churches to be retained an income of about .£11,35,0;
leaving for the t wenty-nine churches to be removed °
sum of about £9,650, or £230 per church per annual;
and to make up this to from £5OO to £7OO, means are 0
be raised in the new locality to which the church is to be
removed. The patronage to follow the churches which
are left standing, and the patrons of the removed churcheo
to appoint to the new churches."

LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF C110!,,r
CHURCH, PENNINGTON.—On Thursday, the foundaeol
stone of Christ Church, Pennington, was laid by Mr'
Lilford, in the presence of a large assemblage of sPee'
tators. The town stands in three townships—Penning'
ton, Bedford, and West Leigh, and these townships et/All
tain a population of 14,000 persons. There are thrye
churches, but they do not afford accommodation to Inc,)'i)
than one-sixth of the population. The vicar of Log,
has the presentation to two, and in consequence of lames(
table disputes, many have attended the ministrations °
clergymen in the townships adjacent, travelling a distatico
of about threee miles each way. Others have joined i32:'
senting denominations, whilst some have, it is feared, u'i
come apathetic to all religious duties. By the pressure "0
such circumstances, the new church will be brought ie!ri
existence. The total cost is estimated at £.1,300t
addition to which the church will require furnish,,rl'i
fence walls for the yard, a fund for its endowment, ao,,,,uhe
parsonage house is also proposed to be erected. t
