Tuesday's Gazette contains an order in council, direct-
ing that after the next avoidance of the see of Salisbury,
the bishop succeeding thereto, and his successors, shall
pay to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, the annual sum
of £lB5O. By a recent valuation, it appears that the reve-
nue of the see exceeds by this sum the amount fixed by
the commissioners "as suitable to the circumstances
thereof." The income so allotted was £5OOO a year.
It is the intention of government, with the concurrence
of the episcopal bench, to create four new sees—Manches-
ter, Nottingham, St. Albans, and Cornwall. The bishops
of these new dioceses are not to have seats in the House
of Lords by virtue of these appointments ; but the pre-
lates are in future to sit in Parliament according to seni-
ority of promotion, the present number not being increased.
It is a pity that Lord John Russell should mar the grace
of this concession to the increasing requirements of the
church, by any such paltry condition.
THE REV. JOHN BUHNET.—This reverend gentleman
having been promoted to the vicarage of Bradford, from
St. George's, Macclesfield, some of his former Divinity
pupils have presented him with his Doctor's degree, and
some extremely elegant and useful articles of plate, in
testimony of their appreciation of his character and worth.
A number of his friends have also presented him with a
purse containing three hundred sovereigns, as a grateful
testimonial to his unwearied labours as a Christian pastor,
and his great exertions in the cause of church and school
extension.

ST. ►SAVIOTJ

s CHURCH, LEEDS.—In consequence of
some perversions to Rome in this church, the vicar of that
church, and the Rev. R. Ward, and the curate (Rev. Mr.
Case), have both resigned, after communications from the
.bop of Ripon. A ber of -

num members of ~ne congre-
gation in consequence addressed the Bishop, expressing
their love and respect for the vicar, and assuring his lord-
ship that Mr. Ward never by his teaching endeavoured to
induce them to join the Roman Communion, or to shake
their confidence in the Church of England. The Bishop
makes a kindly reply, stating that Mr. Ward "is fully
conscious that he has weakly yielded to the sinister influ-
ence of others, and has, in some instances, consented to
act in direct contravention of the spirit of my admonitions
and injunctions, insomuch that I am persuaded it is as,
essential for Mr. Ward's own peace of mind, as it is for
the welfare of the church in this diocese, of Ourselves,
and of your children, that Mr. Ward should cease to offi-
ciate at St. Saviour's." He adds, " You are yourselves,
as yet, scarcely conscious of the dangers you have escaped,
and it is for me, as your spiritual father, to step forward
in your behalf, lest your affection for the individual should
blind you to the perilous tendency of that system which
it has been attempted to establish at St. Saviour's, foreign,
as it is, to the spirit of our church, and calculated gradu-
ally (it would seem imperceptibly), to familiarize you with
many of the reprobated sentiments and practices of +'
Church of Rome."

FALMOUTH. JAN, 29.—H.M. packet Express has ar-
rived at Falmouth, and brings news from Rio de Janeiro
_ _

to the 16th December. -
The American flag affair is temporarily settled, by the
commodore's sailing for the River Plate. The affairs at
Monte Video in statu quo, waiting commands from En-
gland.

From an authentic source it is learnt that no further
official • transactions will take place between the United
States minister and the Brazilian Government, until ad-
vices have been received from the Washington cabinet ;
the United States commodore would return to Rio by that
time. The United Siates government intended to have a
naval depot at St. Fransisco ; whether recent affairs will
cause a change of purpose or not, remains to be seen,
Else, nothing of moment had taken place, or is known by
this arrival. The crop of coffee is large, but of inferior
quality. The express is freighted with £15,000 in ,gold
from the mines.

Commercial transactions have been small, with the ex-
ception of coffee. The sales of that article during the
week, from the Ist to the 11th of December, amounted to
50,000 bags, at an advance of 50 reis. The exports are
4,307 bags to Antwerp, 4,850 to Baltimore, 5,674 to
Hamburg, '2,665 to Havre, 1,886 to Lisbon, 4,46 Q to
Marseilles, 11,510 to New Orleans, 1,700 to Philadelphia,
and two bags to Liverpool. Amongst the passengers by
the Express is Mr. Cowl, late master of the Arethusa,
lost totally on Sept. 18th, at Patagonia.
