CHURCH ACCOMMODATION FOR RAILWAY EMPLOYES.—
We are glad to observe, by the report of the last half-
yearly meeting of the Great Northern Railway Comyany,
that the chairman has given notice of his intention to
submit to the proprietors at their next meeting a proposi-
tion for providing suitable church accommodation for the
employes of the company at Doncaster. The proposal is
highly honourable to :the chairman and directory of the
Great Northern Company, and we trust it will be as ho-
nourably responded to by the shareholders.

THE LORD BISHOP OF CHESTER has been for some
time enraged in holding confirmations within the arch-
deaconries of Chester and Liverpool ; and on Wednesday, at
Kendal, he delivered his charge to the clergy assembled in
that town from the adjoining parishes. His lordship appears
to have selected Kendal for the first delivery of his charge,
and will not meet the clergy of Liverpool and Chester
until the middle of next month. After leaving Kendal the
Bishop proceeds on a visitation and confirmation tour
through those parts of the ancient diocese of Chester
belonging to the archdeaeonry of Richmond, which will,
on the next vacancy of the see of Carlisle, be annexed to
that bishopric, according to the arrangements of the Ec-
clesiastical Commissioners. The charge was delivered in
an impressive manner, and some parts were truly eloquent,
when reminding the assembled clergy of the necessity of
faithfulness in the discharge of their sacred duties and the
union which would exist between the diligent shepherd
and the flock over which he had the charge. Among the
topics alluded to in the bishop's charge were the necessity
of better endowments for the ministers of new churches,
the Training College at Chester, the schools at Warring-
ton, and Convocation.
