The Church Pastoral Aid Society was the first that called
attention to the Spiritual destitution of the country, and
endeavoured to alleviate it. Since its commencement it has
brought upwaids of £140,000 to the assistance of the Church,
the " wants of which," in the strikin words of its sy-
nopsis, " it regards on the one hand, and the order on the
other." To this the Bishops have borne testimony. The
Bishop of Winchester publicly expressed himself thus re-
specting it, "The more I have examined its constitution,
and inspected its principles, the more I find them to be in
accordance with that which I should have most desired to
originate had I been called upon to devise it, for the good of
the Church."
The Bishop of Lichfield, in reference to its imagined in-
terference with Church order, spoke thus :—" I repeat,
that the jurisdiction of the Bishop is in no degree denied or
interfered with. I can only say, that whets a candidate for
orders comes to me, whose stipend is to be paid by this So-
ciety, I know that his qualifications and character have been
scrutinized with more than ordinary attention ; and whet
you consider the difficulty which the Dishop has in getting
satisfactory testimonials, and how often he is liable to be de-
ceived, and misled into error. I must say, that I regard the
inquiries made by this Society as a great additional security
for the usefulness of the person so nominated."
The Bishop of Chester, one of its first and most constant
patrons, in defending the Society on the same head, declared,
" I think, when public liberality supplies the salary of a cu-
rate, something more should be known than a mere negative
testimony to his merit, and that proof should be given of his
faithfulness and zeal."

SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.-011 Sunday last
the Rev. John Natt, vicar of St. Sepulchre's, London,
preached in the morning at that church, and afterwards re-
turned to his residence in Nlecklenburg-square, apparently
in good health. The rec. gentleman sat down to dinner by
himself, as usual, but a longer period than ordinary elapsing
before he rang for his servant, the latter, after the lapse of
three quarters of an hour from the time he had quitted his
master, went into the room, where he found him lying on
the floor, quite black in the face, and in the agonies of death.
Medical assistance was immediately sent for, and Mr. Wilson
of Doughty-street, arrived in a few moments, bu'
ced Mr. Natt dead. The medical gentlemen gi

not cleared tiponth;;;;;Con. The meeting altogether ap-

amicable at the conclusion.

A CLERGYMAN SWOT BY HIS STEP-SON.—GLOUCESTER,
MONDAY.—This morning a young man, about eighteen years
of age, of genteel appearance, was brought to the county gaol,
in this city, charged with having intentionally shot the Rev.
Hugh Percy Rennett, perpetual curate of Norton, a parish
situated four miles from this city, on the road to Tewkesbury.
The circumstances under which the outrage was committed
are reported to be as follow :—Mr. Rennett, who is related
to the Northumberland family, married a Mrs. Clarke, the
mother of the young man committed this day to our county
gaol. The marriage was a very unhappy one, searcely a day
passing without some brawl or other occurring. As was na-
tural, the young man took part with his mother, and it is al-
leged that the combined power of the mother and son was too
powerful for the single-handed vicar. On Friday night there
was a quarrel, and on Saturday night another, in course of
which the vicar threatened to strike his wife. This, it is said,
roused the passions of the son to an ungovernable pitch, and,
seizing a loaded pistol, he fired at his step-father. The ball
entered the neck. and the serious nature of the wound be-
coming instantly apparent, surgical aid was sent for, and the
most persevering efforts made to extract the ball, but with-
out effect. 'William Cother, Esq., surgeon, of this city, was
sent for express on *lda), and ascertained that the ball,
after penetrating the throat, through the centre of the stock
worn by the unfortunate gentleman, passed by the larynx,
taking an oblique direction towards what is called the painter's
muscle, and then descending downwards towards the shoulder.
As may be supposed, the reverend gentleman remains in a
eery precarious state. The son stated to the magistrates to-

ago a farmer named
in the parish of Treleach-ar-Bettws, died, and was buried in
Treleach churchyard. It was well known to several of his
neighbours and intimate acquaintances that he had made a
will, which left the principal part of his property to a distant
relative, and that he had left comparatively little to his wife.
After his decease strict search was made for this will, but it
was nowhere to be found, and shrewd suspicions were enter-
tained that the wife had made away with it. However, in

it was determined to take steps to ascertain how far their
suspicions of her dishonesty were confirmed. On Monday
morning last the grave in which old William Jones had been
berried was found to have been disturbed during the night
and filled with fresh earth. Who had done this was. alai is
still, a mystery. It is supposed, howevt c, as the deeds have
since came to light, that the relatives committed the daring
sacrilege, and tiound the will and other deeds had been
buried in the coffin with the old man. There will be worki
