A CANONADE.—The Carlisle Patriot states that the
Rev. Canon Gipps is about to resign the living of Cor-
bridge, the best piece of preferment in the gift of the
Dean- and Chapter of Carlisle, but has attached this
trifling condition to his resignation, namely, that the
living shall be made over to his son, a young gentleman
scarcely admitted to priest's orders.
Tina: LORD BISHOP OF MANCHESTER, on Tuesday, at
the Diocesan Registry, St. James's-square, licensed the
Rev. James Robert Thackeray (late curate of St. Paul's
Church; Preston,) to the stipend:
Church, Preston, on the nomination of the
Parish, the incumbent. The Rev. Walter Nit....
(late curate of Denton Church), has been nominated to
the perpetual curacy of that Church by the Earl of Wilton,
the patron, the same being vacant by the resignation of
the Rev. William Parr Greswell, the last. incumbent.
CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—The annual. Synod of the
united diocese of Argyll and the Isles was held on the 3rd
instant,, at Lochgilhead. In the course of the proceedings
the bishop laid before the Synod the proposed constitution
of Cumbrae Church and College founded. by the Rev. J.
F. Boyle, and placed by him in the hands of the bishop.
The bishop is to be ex-officio visitor. The resident clergy
are to consist of a provost and at least six clergymen, two
for the service of the church and tuition in the college,
two at the disposal of the bishop, and two aged clergymen
taking part in the church service. The bishop intimated
that he had for a time accepted the office of provost, and the
Synod gave its sanction to the proposed constitution of
the foundation, with a vote of thanks to the founder.
TESTIBIONLA L TO A CLERGYMAIP.—A very handsomely-
chased silver inkstand has been presented to the Rev. C.
T. Piney,_ 8.A., late assistant curate of Bedworth, bearing
the following inscription :—" Presented by the emigre-
+n the Rev. C..T. Pizey, B.A

Pizey also held the office of second master, of an endowed
grammar school at some distance from. Bedworth, and
therefore was not parochially connected with it ; but this
must enhance the value of the testimonial that, although
not personally acquainted with his charge, yet ministeri-
ally, and in a few months, Mr. Pizey gained the esteem
of those among whom he laboured. It is a most interest-
ing feature in this subscription, that very many of the
poor have contributed.—Coventry Standard.
MEETING- OF CONVOCATION.—On Thursday, at eleven
o'clock, a number of clergymen, members of the lower
house, assembled in convocation in the Jerusalem Cham-
ber,,but at half-past eleven the Rev. Canon Wordsworth
entered the room and intimated that three o'clock was
the hour fixed upon, and that the Archbishop of Canter-
bury would not be present until that time. This took the
rev. gentlemen very much by surprise, and considerable
discontent was manifested ; but after an interview with
the Dean of Ely, as Prolocutor, at Dr. Wordsworth's re-
sidence, an adjournment took place until a quarter-past
two o'clock, when the reverend gentlemen re-assembled at
Dr. Wordsworth's, and at three o'clock the entire body of
clergy in attendance, including the Prolocutor and the
Rev. Canon Wordsworth, again appeared in the Jerusalem
Chamber, and there remained standing in groups dis-
cussing the state of affairs until a quarter past three
o'clock, when the Archbishop arrived, attended by Dr.
Twiss, the vicar-general, and Mr Dyke registrar. There
was no other bishop present. The Dean of Ely, on behalf
of the clergy present, complained that no intimation of
the change from the usual hour of meeting had been
given, and their hope, that his grace would give such
orders as might prevent a• similar occurrence in future.
His grace replied,believing that it was generallyunderstood
that the meeting was only for prorogation, I did not expect any
one would attend, otherwise I would have causedthehour to
be generallyknown. lam very sorry that it has happened so,
but I never had any idea that there would be any business
at the prorogation; that it was, in fact, the same as the
prorogation of Parliament, and I never expected any one
to attend. Mr. Dyke then formally prorogued the Convo-
cation to Saturchty, the 10th of September next. Nn time
was fixed, and notwithstanding that the omission was
pointed out his grace bowed at the conclusion and with-
drew. The members remained a few minutes i t conver-
sation with each other, apparently in no complacent mood ;
but one by one, or in groups of two or three, they also
withdrew, and the Jerusalem Chamber was deserted. The
following notices were intended to have been g,iyen for dis-
cussion at next meeting of Convocation by the. Rev. Chan-
dos Pole, had a house been formed :—Motion to take into
consideration at next meeting of Convocation the neces-
sitous state of remote hamlets, and also of densely-popu-
lated districts, and in what way they can. be ameliorated
in their religious wants, either by the ereetion of chapels
subordinate to the existing church, on. by what other
means ; also to take into consideration, in what manner
the church can be benefited by deacons in remote places
subordinate to the incumbents, and at what age they
should. be admitted to the office, aud what training is
necessary.

A FATAL ACCIDENT AT TUE CREATAL PALACE occurred
on Monday week, through the sudden fall of a scaffolding
in the interior about 180 feet high. Ten men were killed
en the spot, two have died since at-the hospital, and another
is without hope of recovery. The jury returned a verdict
of accidental death.

DURING TUE LAST QUARTER of the year there were
received in the Dead Letter department of the General
Post Office, at Washingtor, two thousand and eighty-one
letters which contained money. The aggregate amount
was 12,000 97 dollars.

THE DUNGIEVAN ELECTION.—The nomination for
Dnugarvan is fixed for this day, Tuesday, and the Polling
for Thursday. The ministerial papers here are loud in
their praises of Captain Brabazon, and consequently op-
posed to Mr. J. F. Maguire.
CORE CITY ELECTION.—The polling, commenced on
Friday at eight o'clock. At seven o'clock, the constabu-
lary were tolled off to the booths in the several wards.
For the first two hours Colonel Chatterton led by a large
majority, amounting to over 100. The next three
to
hours
the majority gradually decreased ; and from
the close of the poll the majority increased for Me r.
o'clockr. F. B.
Beamish. The gross poll which will be declared t
will b Beamish, 1,183; Chatterton, 1,000 ; majority for
Beamish, 178.
THE VALUE OF ADVEETlSlNG.—Advertisers will do
well to ponder the following sensible remarks contained in
a cheap little book, entitled " How to Get Money ":
" Whatever your occupation or calling may be, if it needs
support from the public, advertise it thoroughly and effi-
ciently, in some shape or other that will arrest public at-
tention.

all other causes combined. There may possibly
occupations that do not require advertising ; but I can-
ltbioefe o
c,
nearly
not well conceive what they are. Men in business will
sometimes tell you that they have tried advertising, and
that it did not pay. This is only when advertising is done
- and grudgingly. Ilomcepathic doses of adver-
tising will not pay, perhaps ; it is like half a potion of
physic, making the patient sick, but effecting nothing.
Administer liberally, and the cure will be permanent.
Some say they cannot afford to advertise. In this country
where everybody reads the newspapers, the man must have
a thick skull who does not see that these are the cheapest
and best media through which he can speak to the public,
where he is to find his customers. Put on the appearance
of business,'and soon the reality will follow. The farmer
plants his seed, and while he is sleeping his corn and po-
tatoes are growing. So with advertising. While you are
sleeping, or eating, or conversing with one set of customers,
ardndofty uruhoo-
your advertisement is being read byhunev
sands of persons, who never saw you nor
business, and never would, had it not been for your adyer-
