ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTIONS.—A bill has passel
the House of Commons for continuing till the 31st of
December, 1847, an act for suspending the operation al
the new arrangement of dioceses, so far as it affects tin
existing ecclesiastical jurisdictions. The registrar of

THE ROUND CHURCH OF CAMBRIDGE.—The question
respecting the restoration of this edifice was decided o_,o
Thursday week in the Consistory Court of Ely, which o._°l:
in the hall of Trinity College, the Rev. Chancellor Spar"
presiding, assisted by Dr. Daubeny, of Doctor's Coro'
mons. We may briefly remind our readers that the Re!'
Mr. Faulkner, the incumbent, resisted the confirmatio°
of the Faculty granted for the restoration of the chard,'
on the ground that a stone altar and credence table, such
as are used for idolatrous purposes in Popish Chapels,
been erected without the sanction of a Faculty, and vrlth'
out the vicar's previous knowledge. The case was veil
fully argued by Dr. Bayford on behalf of Mr. Faulkaah
and by Dr. Phillimore on behalf of the Churchwardeaa ;
and the Court directed the Faculty to issue, thus confirms'
ing the erection of the stone altar and credence table'
The Vicar immediately appealed to the Court of the Arch-
bishop.

It appeared that the reverend gentleman had been ere;
dibly informed that the deceased had died in
intoxication, but that he had discovered since the fuller
that he had been misinformed. The Bishop, in tbe
course of his judgment, gave utterance to the following
to our minds—most erroneous doctrine •—" God, when'
he vouchsafes to regenerate by baptism, vouchsafes also
to give forgiveness of all sins to those who on,
tinue in the state in which they have been placed by bBP.,

forfeit that state, but, thanks be to God, not sins of
firmity ; and whether in the case of a death under intox-
