Hassel states, that of the 251 millions of the Christian
population of the world, 223 millions retain Episcopacy,
and only 27 millions and a half reject it.
A tablet is about to be placed in Peter's Church, Col-
chester, to the memory of the Protestant martyrs who
were burned at the stake in that town during the reign of
Queen Mary.

The Rev. Owen Parr, Vicar of Preston, has formally
signified that he will resist the intending tolling of a bell
at the Popish chapel of St. Augustine, considering it the
privileges of the Church of England as by law esta-
blished.

Oxford was the spot where John Wickliff, in 1377, first
preached publicly against the supremacy of the pope, the
infallability of the church, and the doctrine of transub-
stantiation. The same spot is fixed on by Dr. Pusey, in
our days, to revive what was dispelled by Wickliff, the
morning star of the reformation.

CLERICAL MUNIFICENCE.—The Rev. W. J. Brode-
rick, Rector of Bath, knowing the crowded state of the
Abbey and other burial grounds within his Rectory, has
most munificently come forward, and at the cost of up-
wards of three thousand pounds, supplied a cemetery,
and presented it to the Abbey parish. It is to be conse-
crated in August.

THE ST. LEONARD'S " OFFERINGS."—On Wednesdy
evening, during the holding of a vestry meeting, one of
the massive gilt candlesticks lately presented by some un-
known person to the church of St. Leonard, Shoreditch,
was pulled down from the communion table and left o❑
the ground--the wax candle broken to pieces, and the
candlestick injured. The affair has caused much talk in
the parish.

We understand (says the Oxford Herald) that the au-
thorities of the University have resolved on punishing
four of those who took the most prominent part in making
the disturbances at the theatre on Wednesday, in the fol-
lowing manner :—Mr. Paul Parnell, Fellow of St. John's
College, to be rusticated for five years; two Messrs.
Marshalls, of Brasenose, for three years ; and Mr. James
Collins, Commoner of Balliol College, for one year.

The radical town council of Tiverton lately thought
proper to appoint a committee to wait upon a clergyman,
to find fault with a sermon which he had preached before
their high mightinesses. To give dignity to the occasion,
the object of the domiciliary visit was explained in a letter
from the town-clerk ! The rev. gentleman's reply (and
he could hardly have given a better) was a request that
they would deposit a copy of the town-clerk's missive in
the British Museum, as an example to all other corporate
big-wigs who think it within their province to administer
canoni cal law.

ADDITIONAL COLONIAL BISHOPRICS.—We learn from
the second report of the committee appointed to act in
concert with her Majesty's government, for the erection
and endowment of additional bishoprics in the colonies
and dependencies of Great Britain, that they have deter-
mined to appropriate a large portion of the fund at their
disposal, namely, the sum of £20,000 towards the en-
dowment of a bishopric in New Brunswick. The com-
mittee assume that £5,000 will be collected in the province,
and they express a hope that the public at large, and
especially those connected by trade or property with
New Brunswick, will make an effort to raise the amount
to the required sum of £30,000.

Dr. Pusey, canon of Christ Church, and Regius Pro-
fessor of Hebrew in the University of Oxford, is the se-
cond son of the late Hon. Philip Bouverie (who assumed
the name of Pusey), by Lady Lucy Sherard, eldest daug-
ter of Robert, Fourth Earl of Harborough, and widow
of Sir Thomas Cave, Bart. Dr. Pusey's eldest brother is
Philip Pusey, Esq., of Pusey, M.P. for Berkshire, the
eminent agriculturist. Dr. Pusey was born in June, 1800,
and married June 12, 1828, Maria Catharine, youngest
daughter of the late John Raynard Barker, Esq. Mrs.
Pusey died May 26, 1239, leaving an only daughter. Dr.
Pusey entered at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1818, and
took a first class degree in literis humanioribus, Easter
Term, 1822 ; he was afterwards elected a fellow of Oriel
College. In 1828 Dr. Pusey was appointed Regius Pro-
fessor of Hebrew in that university, to which office is
attached a canonry in the Cathedral Church of Christ,
Oxford. In 1824 Dr. Pusey obtained the Chancellor's
prize for Latin prose composition, the subject being Co
loniarum aqua Grcecos at Rotnanos inter se comparitio,
The family of Pusey is of great antiquity, having been
settled at Pusey, in the county of Berks, prior to the
Conquest. The family estate is held by Cornage under
a grant by Canute, a fact mentioned both by Camben and
Fuller. The horn is that of an ox, of a dark brown
colour, and by its production the manor was recovered in
the reign of James 11.

The Rev. T. Davies, Wesleyan minister of Penrith, in
stepping into an omnibus in that town was seized with a
fit and fell under the wheel, which passed over his head,
causing instant death.

EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION.—On Thursday even-
ing last the Rev. Jabez Bunting, D.D., preached a ser-
mon at the New Wesleyan Chapel, Higher Broughton, to
a crowded congregation ; after which a collection was
made with the view of liquidating the debt on the building.
The collection amounted to the liberal sum of £750.
