CAMBRIDGE, Aug. 5.
KING'S COLLEGE.—On Friday last, James Jeffreys,
Bumpszead, was elected a fellow of this society.
On Tuesday last, at Eton, the eight senior King's
scholars were superannuated ; amongst whom was Carter,
whose turn, from his position in the college, it was to
succeed to a fellowship at King's College. No vacancy,
however, having been declared to have taken place at
King's when the college clock struck the hour of two on
Tuesday forenoon, the senior King's scholar at Eton loses
his fellowship.

The Bishop of Hereford, acting for the Bishop of
Lichfield, in his late tour in Staffordshire, confirmed
10,478 persons.

The British Bible Society has just presented to the
Royal Library a collection of bibles in 82 different lan-
guages, consisting of 119 volumes.

Jesus Colleg-, Oxford, was entered on Tuesday last by
means of skeleton keys, and robbed of plate valued at
nearly £3OO.

The parish church of St. Michael, Lichfield. was re-
opened on Thursday week, after having been closed for
the past twelve months. The whole of the nave and
aisles have been partly rebuilt and wholly restored.
The election of a chaplain to the London Female Orphan
Asylum took place on Thursday, when the Rev. R. S.
Cattley was elected by a majority of 119 over his oppo-
nent, the Rev. W. Curling.
CHRIST CHURCH, TURNHAM-GREEN.—On Thursday
week the ceremony of the consecration of the newly-
erected church for the parish of Chiswick, called Christ
Church, Turnhnrn-green, was performed by the Right
Rev. the Lord Bishop of London.
JUVENILE BAZAAR.—The gross amount raised by the
bazaar held last week at Ashton-under-Lyne, for the
Church Sunday Schools, including the donations by se-
veral gentlemen, amounts to the handsome sum of £156,
enabling the committee to realize at least £145.

On Monday, Stamford was visited by a terrific storm
of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain.
Amongst the casualties, the lofty spire of All Saints Church
has sustained some damage, the extent of which has not
yet been ascertained. Happily no lives have been lost.
CONSECRATION.—On Saturday week, St. John's
Church, Hawarden, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop
of Bangor. After the special service, the Chancellor read
the service of consecration, which was signed by the bishop.
The Rev. H. P. Foulkes, curate of Buckley, read prayers
assisted by the clergy of Hawarden. The Rev. Dr. Hook
then ascended the pulpit, and after saving a portion of the
" Bidding" prayer, preached from Roman xiv. 5, 6.
REVENUES OF THE SEES OF ST. ASAPH AND BAN-
GOR.—According to the recent parliamentary return, we
find that the Bishop of St. Asaph states the gross amount
of the yearly revenues of that see as follows :—ln 1832,
£7,396 19s 8d ; 1833, £6,907 13s 10d ; 1834, £6.135 8s 3d ;
1835, £7,203 lOs 10d. The gross amounts of deductions
for payments and allowances in each year were :-1832,
£1,383 lls 2d ; 1833, £1,047 is 7d ; 1834, £1,253 5s 5d ;
and 1835, £9Bl 19s. The Bishop of Bangor makes the
following return of the gross amount of the yearly revenues
of that sea :-
1830 £7,157 13 7 I 1833....C5.473 2 1

5,978 16 5 I 1834
6,431 1 9 I_ 1835

5,581 4 5
5,535 3 4

But the deductions for yearly payments and allowances
reduce these to the following net income :-
1830 .... £3,431 12 0 I 1833 .... £3,493 19 3

1831 .... 4,127 4 101 1834.... 3,557 3 6
1832.... 4,234 11 0 1835.... 3,558 19 3
ETON COLLEGE.—There are more pupils on the esta-
blishment than at any former period ; a gradual increase
having taken place every year since 1836, when the num-
ber on the books was 444. The number now is 713—viz.,
661 in the upper, and 52 in the lower school. In 1745 the
aggregate number in the two schools was only 248. Since
the foundation, in 1441, 2,257 have succeeded to King's.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE IRISH CHURCH.
—The Morning Post thus reports the speech of the
noble Duke, which he made in noticing the petition of
Lord Oranmore, praying that a portion of the property
of the Protestant Church of Ireland should be granted to
the Roman Catholic priests. " The Duke of Wellington
arose, and throwing himself into an attitude of defiance,
and raising his voice to a pitch that echoed through the
house, thus gave expression to his feelings :—" My Lords,
I shall not enter upon the question of the irregularity of
presenting such a petition, nor do I intend to enter into
the discussion of the important question to which it re-
lates. I wish only to warn your Lordships of one cir-
cumstance attending it. The prayer of this petition goes
to nothing more nor less than this—whether your Lord-
ships are to repeal or to maintain the laws by which the
Reformation has been established in this United Kingdom.
That is the question for your Lordships' consideration in
this petition from a Peer of Ireland, though not a mem-
ber of this house; that is the question which I beg your
Lordships to consider well, and to decide whether or not
you will listen to arguments in support of such a propo-
sition."

Mr. Makgill Crichton has published a letter, giving an
account of his progress in Ireland on behalf of the funds
of the Free Church. We extract the following passage :
—" The subscriptions already made at Belfast, added to
those obtained at Newry, Ballymena, Coleraine, Newton,
Limavady, and Londonderry, and promised at Armagh
and Cookstown, which we visited on the following week,
amount, when joined to the Dublin subscription, to nearly
£6OOO, and if the appeal be carried on with energy, the
total to be transmitted from Ulster will probably not be
under £9000."
