It is rumoured that his Grace the Archbishop of Can-
terbury has written a letter, that is said to be already in
type, upon the doctrine of Regeneration id Holy Baptism.
If this be so it will no doubt appear immediately after the
judgment delivered in the Gorham case.

MUNIFICENCE.—A lady has presented, through the
Bishop of London, to the committee for the build-
ing of a new church and school in the Trinity district
of St. Pancras, the munificent sum of £l,OOO in aid of the
funds now raising for their completion. Miss Burdett
Coutts has given £lOO, and a lady has placed £lOO in the
hands of the Rev. Mr. Laing.
Dr. Achilli attended a meeting of a newly-formed Bible
Society, in the parish of St. George, Bloomsbury, on
Tuesday. He proposed a resolution, which was carried
unanimously, affirming that, in consequence of the energy
and activity of the Roman Catholic Church, it was desir-
able to send copies of the Scriptures to all parts of the
world, in order that the people of each nation might he
enabled to read in their native language.
TITHE RENT CHARGE.—The Rev. Mr. Lund, of Mor-
ton Rectory, Derby, has addressed a letter to the editor
of the Cambridge Chronicle, of which the following is an
important extract :—" Allow me to say that, by omitting
the farthings in the average prices of the grain, the fixed
corn-rent for £3OO is not quite correct for all purposes,
although sufficiently so for some. The exact figures are—
Wheat, 284'86 bushels; Barley, 505'26 bushels; Oats.
727'27 bushels. And this being the corn rent of £3OO, of
course one third of these numbers will give the corn-rent
for £loo—and proportionately for any other sum. I
admit fully that the Tithe-owner's income is thus made
to depend with singular disproportion upon barley and
oats, and little comparatively upon wheat. But so it
seemed good to the Legislature to enact—a Legislature
chiefly composed of landowners—and the clergy are in no
way whatever to blame for it."

THE NATIONAL SOCIETY.—The Earl of Chichester
presided on Tuesd,ty last at the anniversary meeting of
the Cheltenham Training Schools. His lordship entered
largely into the questions at issue between the Committee
of Privy Council and the National Society, and defended
the management clauses imposed by the government as a
condition of assistance, representing those which had
been opposed by the party of the Rev. George Denison
as necessary to secure to the church laity a fair influence
in the control of the schools. The views of the noble earl
were loudly cheered, and were supported by all the other
speakers, both of the clergy and of the laity, who took
part in the proceedings. The Rev. Mr. Close, the incum-
bent of Cheltenham, in the course of his remarks, com-
mented in strong terms on the misrepresentations of Pro-
fessor Sewell and others at the late educational meeting
in London, and expressed his conviction that such princi-
ples as were there broached would not meet the assent of
the members of the Church of England generally. The
attendance was numerous and most respectable, compris-
ing a considerable number of the elite of the place, and
the demonstrations of applause were such as must have
convinced the most sceptical that the anti-supremacy
party in the church is not likely to find much favour in
the eyes of churchmen.—Church and State Gazette.
