ADDITIONAL CURATES SOCIETY.—The Committee in
a recent report state, •' It a matter of some satisfaction
to the Committee that they find themselves enabled to
state that the Society has been enabled during the past
year not only to maintain its fcrmer position, but to en-
large the sphere of its exertions and usefulness. The
number of grants towards the employment of additional
curates, which, in the year ending Easter, 1844, had been
increased from 117 to 196, has during the past year been
augmented to 217. and since Easter to 244. To these
must be added 24 grants in aid of endowments, by which
the services of an additional clergyman in each district
have been permanently secured. The grants thus made,
which pledge the society to an annual expenditure of
£14,000, contribute to the maintenance of 268 additional

clergymen."
CHURCH OF ENGLAND MISSIONARY COLLEGE.—The
sum at present contributed for this institution, irrespec-
tive of annual subscriptions amounting to £5OO, is
£50,000. The college will be formed on the plan of the
collegiate institutions of our own universities, and the
Archbishop of Canterbury has consented to give statutes
for its government and regulation. The college will con-
sist of a warden, a subwarden, who is to .be a master of
arts in priest's orders, and six fellows, all of whom are to
be actively engaged, under tt e superintendence of the
warden, in the instruction and tuition of the students.
The officers of the college are to be nominated by the
Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishop of
London, for the time being, as being the prelates more
immediately connected with the Church in the colonies;
and with the prelates above-named will rest entirely the
selection and appointment of persons to fill the offices in
question. The Archbishop of Canterbury, for the time
bring, is to be visitor of the college. The object for
which the institution is founded is to supply the want of a
sufficient number of ministers duly prepared, by special
training, to labour in the dependencies of the British em-
pire ; for, many as are the zealous men now labouring there,
eras missionaries to the heathen, they are few in compari-
son with the extent of the field of labour. It is, therefore,
the object of the college now in progress to provide an
education to qualify young men for the service at the
Church in foreign settlements, with such regard to eco-
nomy and frugality of habits as may fit them for the
special duties to be discharged, the difficulties to be
encountered, and the hardships to be endured.
