THE LATE BISHOP OF JERUSALEM.—The will of
Alexander has just been proved in London ; the personal
effects in this country were sworn under £7,000. It ap-
pears to have been made just previous to his lordship's
departure from this country for Egypt, and about a
month after his consecration to this foreign see, being
dated Ist December, 1841. He has left to his executors
and trustees, the Rev. John Christian Reicherdt,
and C. H, Corbett, Esq , both residents of London, the
whole of his property, real and personal, in trust for his
wife, to receive the interest for her life while unmarried,
and at her death, or second marriage, then to his childen
absolutely.

PERMANENT PAY.—A writer in the Times, advocating
the cause of the working clergy, asks—Would it be a very
astounding thing for a member of parliament to bring be-
fore the house a bill for so ameliorating the lot of the clergy
as to provide for all incumbents £l5O per annum certain.
and not dependent on their places ; and for all curates at
least £lOO per annum, also certain ; and to be so arranged
that the incumbent could not in any way evade the law ;
and this might be done by having his salary paid by the
churchwardens, and not by the rector. Would it als ► be
likely to meet with opposition to propose setting by a
fund for the support of meritorious clergymen in sickness
and old are; the two afflictions which bring certain ruin
to curates as well as small incumbents without private
means ?

IMPORTANT ECCLESIASTICAL DECISION.—The Arch-
bishop of Dublin has just decided a very important ques-
tion affecting the constitution of unconsecrated places of
worship, and the rights of rectors of parishes. We allude
to the case of the North Strand Chapel, licensed by the
present Archbishop during the incumbency of the Rev.
Mr. Maguire, the late rector of St. Thomas's, and who
also gave his formal consent; and the important point
decided by his Grace (under advice of his Vicar-General
and Judge of the Consistorial Court) is, that the consent
of the future incumbent, for the time being, is nece sary
to validate such license. We believe there was nothing
personal in the transaction, and nothing further sought or
contemplated, than that of legally sustaining an abstract
question of right. The case was brought forward by
Archdeacon Magee.—.Dublin Mail.
