The Bishop of Calcutta is understood to have spoken
very strongly as to the Tractarian teachers in India, in
connection with the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel, on the occasion of his first meeting with the
society, after his return from his distant diocese.

Dr. Pusey preached in the parish church at Ilfracombe,
on Sunday week. The sermon was free from the peculi-
arities for which the preacher has become so notorious, and
was an eloquent argument in support of the resurrection
of the body.

An association has been formed in London, with Lord
Ashley as patron, for the purpose of promoting the
entering into holy orders of pious and talented young
men, and to provide funds out of which a certain annual
sum, for three, four, or fire years, shhll be afforded to-
wards the expenses of approved candidltes.

STRANGE PROCEEDING.—The Bishop of Exeter has
expressed his disapprobation to the Rev. J. Hatchard,
vicar of St. Andrew, Rev. G. F. Whidborne. of Charles
chapel, and Rev. J. Lampen, of St. John's chapel,
Davenport, for allowing strange clergymen in their
pulpits—alluding to the advocacy of the claims of the
Church Missionary Society, on Sunday, the 13th ult., by
the deputation from the parent society.—Exeter paper.

PROTEST AGAINST TRACTARIANISM —\\Te feel called
upon to notice a sermon, delivered in his college chapel,
by the Provost of Eton, on Sunday last. We wish simply
to advert to the broad, unquestioned, and all sufficient
fact, that the Provost of Eton, in the most solemn and
deliberate manner, on the most public Eton day in the
year, before a large congregation of nobility and gentry
assembled on the occasion, has made a bold, positive, and
uncompromising declaration of hostility against the Trac-
tarian party.—Herold.

MR. NEWMAN AND lIIS PARTY.—The Bishop of
Chichester, in a letter dated last month (July), says,
" I believe there is no one of those among the clergy who
have watched the progress of late events in our Church,
including many brethren on the bench, who is not aware
that the adherents of Mr. Newman (for he is the real
leader of the party) are few in number. A short time
will now probably suffice to prove this fact. It is well
known that Mr. Newman is preparing for secession ; and
when that event takes place it will be seen how few will
go with him.

ADDITIONAL CLERGYMEN AND LAY READERS.—A
correspondence has just been published, between Lord
Sandon and Sir R. H. Inglis, as representativ:s of a large
body of memorialists, and the Archbishop of Canterbury,
on the subject of multiplying the number of deacons and
of employing a class of laymen who, without abandoning
their worldly callings, might assist the clergy in the dis-
charge of all such affairs as are not restricted to the three
orders of the ministry. His Grace says, in reply, that
" he has submitted the memorial to such of the bishops
as he could assemble, and that the following is the result
of their joint considerations. 1. No considerable addition
can be made to the existing number of clergymen without
additional funds for their support. 2. The salary required
for curates at present is not greater than must be paid to
deacons under the proposed scheme. The funds, there-
fore, which must be raised for the new class of deacons
would suffice for the maintenance of an equal numbr of
additional curates, and if the funds of the existing
societies were so enlarged as to furnish the means of
supporting a larger number than are now employed,
it is not probable that the bishops would interpose
any unnecessary obstacle to the admission into the mi-
nistr) of a sufficient number of persons to supply the wants
of their respective dioceses ; although every bishop must
be allowed to judge for himself of the measures proper to
be taken for supplying the wants of his own diocese by the
ordination of as many persons as maybe required, in con-
formity with the canons of the church, it does not appear
to be expedient to lay down any general rule on the sub-
ject, which might control the bishops in the exercise of
their discretion, or diminish the securities which now
exist for the due preparation of candidates for the minis-
try. With respect to the employment of lay scripture
readers, it is thought that the question may be most pro-
perly left to the bishop of each diocese to encourage or
sanction such provision, if he should think fit, in those
parishes, the incumbents of which may be desirous of
availing themselves of such assistance."
