ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH. ST. HELENS.—WC under-
stand that this incumbency is likely to be soon vacant.
The church, schools, and parsonage are most complete;
and we trust that a truly evangelical minister will bos again
found to occupy this important cure.
THE CLERGY AND WESLEYAN MEETTNGS.—The Rev.
J, Jordan, of Enstone, in Oxford, having been rebuked
by his ordinary for attending a meeting of Wesleyans,
he submitted a case to Sir John Dodson, and that
learned civilian has given the following opinion :
" I think that the mere circumstance of attending and
presiding at a meeting of persons friendly to the Wesleyan
Missionary Society would not of itself render a beneficed
clergyman subject to ecclesiastical censure ; but I cannot
undertake to say that J. J. may not, upon the occasion
in question, have made himself amenable to such censure,
unless 1 am informed what was the exact purport and
objects of the meeting over which he presided, and whe-
ther any and what resolutions were proposed and adopted,
and also generally a hat passed at the meeting. If J. J,
made himself a party to any measures which could justly
be considered repugnant either to the doctrine or disci-
pline of the Church of England, I apprehend that he
would be liable to censure, and more especially if he
acted in defiance of a monition or injunction from his
ordinary."
SEES OF ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR.—A bill has been
prepared by Lord Monteagle, to be submitted to parlia-
ment, the effects of which will be, if the bill should be
carried, to augment the poorer vicarages by the impropri-
ation of the sees. By the order in council passed in 1838
for the purpose of uniting the sees of St. Asaph and Ban-
gor, it was enacted that each succeeding bishop of the
united sees should lodge in the Bank of England, to the
credit of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, an annual
payment of £4,750; it was further provided that a sum
of £4,500 should be appropriated out of the first-men-
tioned sum to the endowment of the intended bishopric
of Manchester. Lord Monteagle's new bill states that
" it has been ascertained that the funds now provided for
the endowment off' such intended bishopric of Manchester,
and the increased endowment of the other bishoprics of
England contemplated in the said recited act, and the
several orders in council framed thereon, are adequate
for such purposes as aforesaid, without the appropriationn
of such contribution of £4,750 as aforesaid ; and pro-
vides that the said annual sum of £4,750 should be ap-
propriated and applied solely for the augmentation of poor
and populous vicarages in the said united diocese in
North Wales.
