The Duke of Manchester, who some time since gave in

According to the Rubric: If this day shall happen to be
Sunday, that form of prayer shall be used, and the fast
kept the next day following." For it is quite evident that
the especial service could not be used the day before the
fast. All fasts precede the holy day. Many comes of the
prayer book are stopped wrong, the comma being after
the word used, whereas there ought to be no comma; and
the last editions of the prayer book have none.
CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—His Grace the Arch-
bishop of York closed his ministerial labours in his late
diocese, by preaching on Sunday, the 9th of January, at
St. Peter's, Hereford, an impressive sermon on behalf of
the above institution. He selected for his text these
words of St. Paul, " I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ." In the course of his address, he made a special
appeal on behalf of the society, in consequznce of the
serious deficiency at present existing in its funds. It was
stated by his Grace that the receipts of the society for the
nine Months. ending December 31st, 1847, were less than
its receipts for the corresponding period in the previous
year by above £15,000; a deficiency, which if it be not
made np, may seriously embarass the society, and,perhaps
compel it to curtail its operations among the heathen at
the very time, when, as his Grace observed, those opera-
tions are being largely blessed, and when new fields are
everywhere presenting themselves, and inviting the
society to enter upon them. His Grace alluded in a very
gratifying manner to the prudence, wisdom, and economy
with which the affairs of this great society are managed,
and concluded an appeal, which was no less successful
than earnest, by calling upon all who were " not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ," to contribute liberally in helping
to make that gospel known to the nations which are sit-
ting in darkness and in the shadow of death. A large
collection was made after the sermon.
TRACTARIANISM V. CHURCH AND STATE.—The dream
in which they are delighting themselves just now is of this
kind. They would like the existing Church of England,
with its archbishops, bishops, deans, rectors, cathedrals,
and churches, to be left entire and unimpaired ; its en-
dowments remaining undiminished • and the legislature
and executive withdrawing from all future control over it !
They would then wish to form the said archbishops,
bishops, &c., into a great ecclesiastical corporation, with
its own synods, convocations, sec., and with the most
ample powers of self-government. And this splendid
dream they actually cherish, as if it were possible for any
British Government or Legislature to give reality to it !
In these busy times our public men are not likely to un-
dertake so difficult and almost endless a task, as the un-
twisting the innumerable cords by which the state and
the church are bound together. Hence, when we hear
LLI INC Ituair
separation of church and state ; this slavery cannot be en-
dured any longer :" we are always ready to reply—
" You may separate this moment for yourself, by be-
coming a Dissenter. But as to the bishoprics and the
rectories of the Church of England, you may rely
upon it that they are not likely to be separated from
State connexion for many years to come." Where,
however, we hear the same exclamation from a Dis-
senter, we know that we are upon more real and honest
ground, and therefore we have a different answer. To
this objector we reply—" When you can, in fact as well
as in fancy, divide a legislator or a statesman into two
men, one under Christian obligations, the other not under
Christian obligations, then we shall be able to understand
—but not till then—how a Christian ruler can discharge
his duties without employing all his functions to establish,
promote, and maintain the knowledge of the gospel, and
the pure worship of the only true God."—Record.
EPISCOPAL SALARIES.—The revenue of the Bishops
far exceeds the amounts which were anticipated by the
public. It was imagined, for example, that Durham was
to pay £B,OOO, or a salary equal to that of the Chief Jus-
tice in England. Instead of £B,OOO a-year, net, after all
Imaginable deductions have been made for rates, taxes,
quit rents, collection, agencies, outgoings of every des-
cription, and we know not what besides. In one year,
the gross income was £37,161 165., and in another year,
£29,806, 12s. Id. ; whilst the two lowest sums put down
for thegrossreceipts are.£19,577 13s10d, and £22,4160s 2d.
The Archbishop of Canterbury was to have an income of
£15,000 a-year, which is all that a Lord Chancellor
derives from the great offices which he holds, and
which occupy his time both in Chancery, in the House
of Lords, and in the Cabinet. The Lord Chancellor
holds office only for a few years of Herculean la-
bour, and retires on a pension of £5,000 a-year. The
Primate holds his high office for life, without respect to
age, health, or capacity. The Lord Chancellor has no
house provided for him and no outgoings defrayed. The
Primate has palaces both in London and the country, and
the revenue he receives is clear of all outgoings which do
not attach to him personally. We speak of the future,
for the present Archbishop does not come under this rule,
and his income is much larger. The Archbishop of
York was to have £lO,OOO a-year besides palaces and
pleasure-grounds, and so also was the Bishop of London.
A few of the other bishops were to have £B,OOO and
£7,000 a-year, which are equal to the incomes of the
Chief Justice of England, the Master of the Rolls, the
Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief
Baron of the Exchequer. The incomes of the other
bishops were to be about the same as those of the other
judges, ranging from £4,200 to £5,000, exclusive of
palaces and pleasure-grounds representing at least another
£l.OOO a-year.—Record,

RAILWAY AFFAIRS.

4
The works of the Liverpool and Bury railway have been
recently re-commenced.

The -Caledonian Mercury says, that in consequence of
some subsiding at one or two points on the Caledonian
Railway, the opening of the line has been postponed.
The vacancies at the board of the Cheshire Junction
Railway Company have been filled up by the appointment
of the following gentlemen as directors :—Mr. Jas. Ban-
croft and Mr. William Gibb, of Manchester, and Mr.
J. H. Rayner, of Liverpool.
OPENING OF NEW LINES Ow RAILWAY.—The Stam-
ford and Oakham line on the 14th Feb ; the Wisbeach
and Wallington this week; the Tiverton branch of the
Great Western on the 14th Feb.; the Wakefield, Ponte-
fract and Goole on the Ist March ; and the Swansea and
Newport next Spring.
A daring American projector proposes a electric tele-
graph from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is already
carried from the Atlantic to St. Louis, in the valley of
the Mississippi, whence the distance to the Pacific is 2000
miles, and the estimate is that the line could be formed
for 300,000 dollars.

ATTEMPT TO THROW OFF A TRAIN.—On Sunday, before
the arrival of the first train, it was discovered that a rail
had been removed near the Moira station, on the Ulster
railway, with the evident intention of throwing the train
off. The defect was repaired, and the train passed on in
safety.—Belfast Whig.

Tlie North Staffordshire proprietors received with ap-
probation the reports and accounts presented at their
half-yearly meeting. A dividend of ss. will be paid in
July next from the profits of the canal and the part of
the line to be opened in March. The works, according to
the engineer's statement, are more forward than could
have been expected.
The North Staffordshire railway. directors have pressed
forward to completion those parts which were likely to
become at once remunerative. The parts soon to be
opened are, Stoke to Norton Bridge on the Ist of March ;
Stone, to join the Trent Valley at Colwich, by the Ist of
May ; also from Stoke by Harecastle to Crew ; and by
Uttexeter to Burton ;—Thus completing a through com-
munication by the Potteries between Liverpool and Derby
by August next.

From our official returns it appears that the amount of
traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3423 miles of rail-
way, was £147,391, thus accounted for : £71,453 for the
conveyance of passengers only, £37,964 for the carriage
of goods, and a remainder of £37,974 for passengers and
goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an
increase of £16,612 over the corresponding week of the
former year, when the mileage was 2,680. The average
earnings per mile for last.week were £43, whilst in 1847
they were £413.
