THE CHURCH.

HUDDERSFIELD PARISH CHURCH.—This beautiful structure
which has been rebuilt by voluntary subscription, is now nearly
completed. The new erection is considerably larger than the
former, and upwards of 30 new pews are free and appropriated
to the use of the poor. This is the third erection on the same
site. The late church was consecrated in May, 150 G, and the
erection previous to that about 400 years before. The church
will be opened fur divine service on the 27th iustaut.—Leeds
Intelligencer.
Naw CHURCH AT BLACKBURN.—On Thursday week "he
foundatioa stone of a new church, to be called St. Mark's, was
laid at Witten, near Blackburn, under circumstances which
proved in a striking maner the ttachment of all clases .of
people in that neighbourhood toa our venerable church este-
blishment.—Bladburn Standard.
TRINITY CoLtuott BLACKBURN.—On Sunday evening the
Bishop of Chester preached a sermon in St. Mary's Church,
Blackburn, in aid of the funds for the erection of a new place of
worship, to be called " Trinity Church." The collection
amounted to £54 45., which taking into consideration the laige
sums already subscribed by the inhabitants, is very handsome.—

CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHURCH. CARLISLE.—On Tues-
day morning last the Lord Bishop of the Diocese performed the
ceremony of consecration at this church. The weather Was very
unfavourable, indeed, and no doubt prevented the attendance of
many woll-wishers to our church establishment. Christ Church
is of the pure Norman architecture, and the pulpit and altar
screen is an elaborate specimen of the same style. The length
of the church is 70 feet, the breadth 56 feet, the height of the
spires 70 feet. It contains sitting room for 1030 persons, 400 of
which are declared to be free sittings.' Tae gallery seats will
accommodate 500.—Carlisle Patriot.
CONSECRATION OF IMMANUEL CHURCH, FENNISCoWLES,
NEAR BLACKBUIIN.—This edifice which will hold five hundred
persons, was consecrated on Monday last by time Lord Bishop
of the diocese. It is built in the gothic style, and reflects credit
upon the architect.—Manchester Courier.

VICAR OF BuITON.—A subscription amounting to upwards of
£5OO has been raised, chiefly by the members of Mr. Slade 's
congregation, but promoted also by many other parishioners, to
purchase a service of plate, which they might present to him as
a testimonial of the faithfulness with which he has discharged
the duties of his laborious office, and of the important benefits
which he has rendered to the parish ever since it was committed
to his pastoral care, a period of nineteen years.
