NEW CHURCHES AND CHAPELS.

The first meeting of the incorporated society for promoting
the enlargement, building, and repairing of churches and
chapels of the session for 1835-6, was held on Monday. at the
Society's rooms, in St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square,
Newell Connop, Esq., the treasurer, in the chair. The at-
tendance of persons of distinction, ecclesiastical and lay,
was numerous, considering the period of the year. The re-
port of the society exhibited matter for much congratula-
tion, as regarded the past, present, and future. Since its
institution, in 1818, the society had expended £199.405, and
been thus instrumental in building, enlarging, or increasing
the accommodation iu 1,260 churches or chapels, and in pro-
viding 313,550 sittings, of which 233,925 were free and un-
appropriated. As the society advanced in years the demands
upon its funds multiplied, being, during the two last years,
each ending in March, £38,588, a sum which then left their
means almost exhausted; but during the recess they had
received £2,300 in donations, £2,000 of which was the mu-
nificent gift of Mr. George Davenport. They were now be-
gining to find encouragement and co-operation in the provin-
ces, though they could not but regret that it had not been more
general. A district committee of the society had been formed
at Cambridge, from which £470 had already been received in
subscriptions and donations. The Durham diocesan society
had for six years transmitted to the parent society one-forth
of its receipts. A diocesan society had also been established
at Worcester; and also an association for the district compre-
hending Boroughbridge and Ripon. His Majesty had been
graciously pleased to issue a King's letter, under the autho-
rity of which collections were now beitaig made throughout
England and Wales, which, it was hoped, would be successful.
The report concluded by expressing the earnest hope of the
committee that, under the blessing of God, the society would be
enabled to carry on, and extend its beneficial operations,
and thus afford to their Christian brethren continually in-
creasing opportunities of worshipping their God and Sa-
viour according to the apostolical ritual of the Church
of England. Grants of various amounts were then or-
dered, as follow :--'Towards rebuilding the chnrch at Kil-
garron, county of Pembroke; enlarging a chapel at Lower
Gomel!, Staffordshire; repairing and increasing accommoda-
tion at Bradford, Yorkshire; enlarging the church at Kettering,
Norfolk ; enlarging the church at Calbourne, Isle of Wight;
enlarging the chnrch at Havering-atte-Bower. Essex; rebuild-
ing the tower and re-seating the church at Kimpton, South-
hampton ; building a gallery at the church of West Halton,
Lincolnshire ; rebuilding a church at Cheadle, Staffordshire ;
building a chapel at Borrow-bridge, Somersetshire ; building a
chapel at Barton, near Gloucester; enlarging the church at
Mandesley, Norh?lk; building a chapel at Cavlev-bridge,
Yorkshire; and building a church, parish of Mottraiii, Cheshire.
The works and repairs at various churches.and chapels having
been completed according to the specifications and plans, and,
having been approved of, the grants voted, amounting to £2,500,
were ordered to be paid to the contractors. The ordinary busi-
ness was then transacted, and, thanks having been voted to the
chairman, the meeting adjourned.
