Lords, continues for one year from the end of this set

deacon Sinclair, and 159 other clergymen, was presented

rington, having tendered his resignation, in consequenq
of being about to leave the neighbourhood, it was resolved
that this board acknowledges the value of Mr. PowYs.3
services, and regrets to lose them, but at the same time

deacon Harrison, Archdeacon Croft, Canon Spry, Canon
Moore, Canom Russell, the Mayor and Corporation of Can'
terbury, Mr. A. Beresford Hope, Bz.c.
A NOBLE Lanr.—From the following paragraph, to
which we willingly give insertion, it will be seen that a
lady has devoted herself to a good and charitable work;
under more than ordinary difficulties, and we understane,
that, in addition to the pecuniary responsibility assumed
by the noble-minded lady alluded to, nineteen of the
twenty-four hours are devoted to the promotion of the
work : —Mornus CHURCH (COZINEMIRA) BITILDIS6
FUND.—The collection for building a church, parsonagf,
and school-house far girls at Moyrus, county Galway, 14
being vigorously carried on by the collector, who, in order
to admit of these buildings progressing while the weather,
is favourable, has,. on. her own responsibility, signed all
the contracts necessary, though they amount to a mucl'
larger sum than she has yet been privileged to receive,
This lady's desire is that (God willing), the church should
be ready for consecration by the period. of the Lord Bishop
of Tuam's autumnal tour. It may be truly said " she
hath done what she could to forward this single-handed
undertaking." May she not then rely with confidence
on the generosity of all to whom she has so earnestly ar
plied (above 4,000 of whom have not yet answered) to for
ward her at least the small sum she has- specified ? AnY
donation addressed to "The Collector, Miss Moore, War-
ren Cottage, Lisburn, county.Antrim," will be gratefully
received.

UNIVERSITY EXPENSE:L.-AS- many misstatements have,
been circulated with reference to the expenses incurred
for a university educations wegive the following from the
Cambridge University Calendar for 1854:—The following
table of average expense regularly incurred by the student
is calculated for one of the colleges. The difference is net
much at any other college :—Tuition, £10; rent of rooms,
£lO ; attendance, assessed taxes, &c., £6 ss. ; coals,
10s.; college payments, £5. per annum. Cost of
living : Breakfast, dinner, and tea; at 16s. 6d. a week for
twenty-five weeks, making the average three terms' resi'
dente in the year, £2O 12s. 6d. ;• laundress, £5 Bs.: total,
£6l 2s. 10d. Rent of rooms varies in. the several colleges
from 24 to £3O. Price of lodgings, Bs. to 28s. per week ;
the most frequent payment is 145..t0•165., and half-price
is paid in vacations. Entertainment in rooms, attendance
of a gyp, orders in hall, are extra. and optional. Private
tuition is for the most part £l4 or £7 a term. Persona'
expenses and tradesmen's ' bill's are independent of the
place ; they are paid by the student himself, or throne
the tutor, as may be found expedient. The above caICIV
lations are, perhaps, for the most part too low. Mang
students, however, at Cambridge db spend more than
£BO or £9O a year whilst in residence • and certainly the
college expenses of at least one-half of hie students do not
average, with private tuition, more than £l3O or £l4O
year each.

- TILE CLEIIGT COLLEGE.—The foundation festival of
this institution was held on Wednesday, at the Loudon
Tavern, The object of the society is to form a home for
the superannuated and disabled clergy of the United
Church of England and Ireland. In order to carry out
this object the promoters have proposed to found ar-
establishment after the model of our Collegiate Insti-
tutions, with dining-hall, library, and chapel, in which
there shall be daily service, morning and evening, and at
which two rooms shall be. reserved for each married pr'
single fellow, while three rooms shall be placed at the do*
posal of a limited number of fellows ; so that the widower
or unmarried inmate shall, be solaced by the society and
cane of some sympathising relative or friend. The founders
of the establishment have expressed a hope that the
sympathy and liberality of a Christian public will be
extended to an institution which seeks to afford relief
their declining years to those clergymen who, in youth
and the maturity of their powers, had cheerfully devoiva
their energies to the. duties of their holy calling. Mr•
T. W. Booker, M.P. for Herefordshire, presided at the
dinner. The subscriptions of the day amounted to £2,7710;
among which were one hundred guineas from the ehau
man, with an annual donation of ten guineas ;
dred guineas from " Anonymous," and £250 from,

CLENFER HOUSE or Muncv.—Tuesday witnessed: the
ceremony of laying the first stone of the new building for
the House of Mercy at Clewer. The funds only admit of
a portion of the plan being begun upon at present, .tamely
three sides of the. intended quadrangle. This will give
accommodation for about fifty penitents ; the fOurth, and
more important portion is to contain the chapel, the ill'
firmary, and the rooms of the sisters ; about £2,500,1;3
required before this can be entered upon. TuesdaYs
ceremony was 'very simple, as in the first instance it hal
not been contemplated to assemble so large a,mainher 0
friends as were ultimately invited. The chpristers frog'
Windsor came over to lead the chanting, which. was very
heartily joined, i by those around. The procession was
formed a little after twelve o'clock, and proceeded to the
spot where the stone was suspended in readiness, singing
Psalm Exur gat .Deus, the Bishop of Oxford with the
Warden and. Subwarden leading and the sisters following
in the rear. The 125th, 126th, and the 122nd Psalms
were afterwards chanted, and some appropriate prayer/
offered up by the Bishop and Warden ; and when the
Bishop had laid the stone, "in the faith of Jesus Christ,
and in, the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost ; that within these walls the true faith and
fear of God, with love and peace, may flourish ; and that
this place may be a refuge for the lost sheep of Christ,
and for the training of His children, in faithful and de:
voted, service, " &c., the Te DAUM, was sung, and al;
knelt upon the grass to receive the Bishop's benediction,:
and the procession passed from the ground singing the
' anthem, " Praise God in His Holiness." All afterwards'
adjourned to the little chapelwhich had been enlarged 13Y.'
temporary aisle, with its flondidecorations"
By virgin fingers meetly spread,"—
presented a strikingly festive appearance. Here. the,
Bishop celebrated, and the Holy Communion wae_
ministered to between 150 and 2(A). The amount cif t 1
offertory was nearly £l5O. The visitors were very,• her
pitably entertained at hincheon before dispersing,
TICE OXFORD COMMEMORATION.—The usual =avers?,
celebration took place on. Tuesday, in the
was. swami
Theatre, which crowded with undergradp.ates an„
visitors anxious to see the presentation of caadidatw I°'
honorary degrees, and, hear the recital of the pxize essays'
Before the formal, proceedings commenced, the under
graduates adopted the usual boisterous method of showing,.
theirpersonal.or political predilections. The warmest
feelings of the academic youth seemed to he about equallg
shared between the chief naval and nailitary leaders en'
gag ed In. the war against Russia, and the officers under
whose dlscipline they themselves either are now or have,
been recently placed. The popularitiy of the late ana.
present proctor was only equalled by that of Sir Charles
Napier, Lord Raglan, and Omar Pasha. Of the Russiall
war heroes "Charley Napier" had very clearly the ca 3;
and, in connexion with the same subject Louis Napoleon
received very hearty applause, while the Emperor Niclgoles
was more groanedthan perhaps, any other name which vf_Ass
given. Political leaders were but little mentioued,
their names often excited neither approval nor disapproval'
Oxford reform, as might be expected, occupied a more
prominent place in their thoughts, and a storm of hiss
and groans
`meted the name of Mr. Heywood and the
were loudly
watchword Admission of Dissenters," while Sir Williate
Heathcote, and afterwards Mr. Henley,
cheered. Soon after eleven o'clock the procession enters"
the theatre, but it was much smaller and less imposing
than usual. Of the Heads of Houses no more than eleven
were present, and only twelve or fourteen Doctors, Islo
noblemen accompanied the procession, Amongst the can:
didates for honorary degrees were,—Prince Lucien Boog
parte, Dr. Colenso, the Bishop of Natal, Mr. Henley,M.f4
Admiral Moresby, Colonel Fane, of the Oxford militia,
Mr, M`Dougall, and Sir George Grey, all of whom were
well received. Of the poems composed for the occasion,
the Latin one, recited by Mr. A. Blomfield, son of the,.
Bishop of London, was very warmly applauded by the
more learned among the audience.
