11EA.LTH OF THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER.—We hear
fat
_the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol has been
4iered by his physician to abstain from all episcopal and
heal duty, and will, in all probability, shortly leave
tad for a renewed and lengthened sojourn in one of
49 milder climates of the south of Europe. His lord-
-1,0 is at present at Brighton.—Bath Chronicle.
I,,*te Record states that at the marriage of Miss Wilber-
Cee, the daughter of the Bishop of Oxford, there was no
rense, but the banns were proclaimed publicly in church
°r the three preceding Sundays. The first part of the
ther7ice was said in the body of the church ; the choir then
to the
the processional psalm as the bridal party moved
the altar ; then followed the celebration of the holy
Zrement, in which the homily from the marriage service
10.1!3 introduced as a sermon, and the whole congregation
vi,ng, by request, throughout.
The Rev. Richard Autram, incumbent of Slapton,
el,"°11, accused of omitting to perform service in his
t'llrch on Good Friday, and Easter-day, and neglecting
04
,113antise an infant whom he was warned was dying, has
3
mitted, on the finding of the commissioners of a prima
4crele case against him, to the sentence of the bishop, who
reprimanded him for the first. and suspended him for
three months for the second offence, as through his neg-
eet the child had died unbaptised, thereby becoming dis-
ltitled to Christian burial, and deprived of that assurance
Wvation which God's word, solemnly interpreted by
also Church, would otherwise have given. Mr. Antram was
t B,C) condemned in the costs of the proceedings, and is not
°e restored till he has acknowledged his fault before his
rdinarv, and promised not to incur the like again.
t..\;IsITATION OF THE DIOCESE OF OXFORD.—The
fis°°e of Oxford commenced the triennial visitation of
bia'diocese on Thursday, in the parish church at Ayles-
-414Y. The chief points to be noticed in his lordship's
th`rge are these—viz., the neglect of common prayer in
witurches—that is, of people uniting heartily and audibly

ei4:, what we require to secure us against Romish
044aption is not argument, but watchfulness over
of feelings, which Romish pervert-makers first
do all love to assail. He traces graphically the

Plain terms every attempt, on the part of the Transi-
igNat clergy in our church, to introduce therein Romish
vi:Plances and customs repugnant to our habits and con-
bti,:l°lla. Quite as admirable in its way is the suceeeding

against the infidelity which is prevalent, and which,
iit'ie affecting a respect for Christianity, denies the autho-
led of the Scriptures wherein it is revealed, and acknow-
tlic,g,es_no spiritual agency except that of the Creator and
own soul.—Church and State Gazette.
