UNIVERSITY 4- CLERICAL NEWS.

The trustees of St. James's Episcopal Chapel, Edin-
burgh, have, we understand, invited the Rev. Drummond
Anderson, of St. Jude's, in this town, to become a candi-
date for the important office of Minister of St. James's,
where the Rev. Mr. Bagot officiates} for several years.
The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Calcutta preached
a sermon on Wednesday morning last, at the Collegiate
Church, Manchester, in aid of-the funds for the erection
and endowment of the cathedral of St Paul, Calcutta.
Judgment was given on Friday morning, by Vice-
Chancellor Sir. J. Knight Bruce, in the cause of the
Attorney-General v. Glasgow College—an information
filed for the purpose of restoring. as it is alleged, to their
original purpose, certain exhibitions to the University of
Oxford, founded by Mr. Snell, in the year 1679. The
testator directed that his exhibitioners, nominated by
Glasgow College, should proceed to Oxford for education,
and should then return and " take holy orders" in the
Episcopal Church of Scotland ; which was the established
Church at the date of the will, and for which, alone, an
Oxford education could be adapted. It is urged on the
other hand, that the testator meant only the Establish-
ment for the time being. The Vice-Chancellor decided
in favour of the application of the Charity, for the pur-
poses of the Episcopal Church of Scotland. The exhibi-
tions have, in fact, been held without reference to any
"orders" whatever,—Presbyterial or otherwise.
BISHOP OF JERUSALEM.—lmmediately after his con-
secration, Dr. Gobat, the new Bishop of Jerusalem, took
his departure from this country. He is to proceed by
Constantinople to the important and interesting scene of
his future labours, and most earnestly must-every Christian
pray that a blessing may attend him in the discharge of
the duties of his Episcopal office. The opposition made
to his appointment, the protest of the Bishop of Exeter,
the alleged letter of Dr. Pusey, the ravings of the Tract-
arian and High Church journals, the objections of Lord
John Manners, and the opposition of Mr. Hume and
others of his class to the Bishop's naturalization, are all
circumstances which point out the fact, that the new
Bishop is not one of those who come under the woe, which
our Lord pronounced upon those of whom all men speak
well. The Bishop is a man of far too much spirituality
of mind, far too much attached to the vital truths of
Christianity and to the doctrines of the Reformation, to
be spoken welt of either by the Bishop of Exeter or Mr.
josenh Hume. But the Christian is more indebted to
the King of Prussia who selected this unambitious, but
learned and devoted Missionary, to fill the office of which

never gem' an appointment of this kind less expected, and
at the same time better chosen. Dr. Gobat was at work
at Malta, organizing with great success the new Protes-
tant College, when by desire of the King of Prussia both
Lord Ashley, as the head of the Malta College, and the
Chevalier Bunsen, as his Majesty's Ambassador, offered
to him the newly-erected Bishopric at Jerusalem. The
offer would have been most flattering to a man in the
circumstances of Dr. Gobat desirous of worldly distinction
and independence. But he was so zealously devoted to
his work as Vice-Principal, that he declined the honour
until assured that it was the opinion of the heads of the
College, that he ought to regard it as a call of Providence,
inviting to a new scene of labours in the East.—Record.
