TEPTIPN HODSON. M.A., of Baliol
and Merton Colleges, Oxford, son of the Ven. the Arch-
deacon of Stafford, has been appointed Rector of the
Edinburgh Academy, in the room of the Rev. Dr. Hannah,
now warden of Trinity College, Glenalmond.
THE BISHOP-DESIGNATE OP BOHNEO.—On Wednesday

morning

special service was held at the parish church Of
St. James', Piccadilly, for the purpose of enabling those
who take an interest in the missionary operations in Bor-
neo to bid farewell to the Rev. Dr. M`Dougall, the bishop
elect, and the missionaries who are about to sail with him
to that distant sphere of labour. Prayers were read by
the Rev. J. G. Cowan, and the sermon was preached by
the Rev. Dr. Jacobson, Regius Professor of Divinity in
the University of Oxford, from Romans xv. 20. " I have
strived to preach the Gospel not where Christ was named;
lest I should build upon another man's foundation."
THE PROPOSED BISHOPRIC IN CORNWALL.—A corres-
pondent of the Cornwall Gazette says that both govern-
ment and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners are favourable
to Dr. Walker's scheme ; the former suggesting county
meetings and combinations, the latter asking for an addi-
tional £25,000 for the same. This last request naturally
reminds people living in these parts of certain large
pecuniary interests in valuable mining properties, not long
since liberally given up to them by the Bishop of Exeter,
for church purposes, and leads them to hope that the
commission may return a portion to the county on an
occasion so pressing and important.
THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER held a confirmation on
Saturday, at St. Mary's church, Rochdale, for the candi-
dates from St. Mary's, the parish church, St. James's,
and Milnrow. The number confirmed was about 500.
After the ceremony, his lordship delivered an impressive
address, and administered the rite of baptism to Mary De
Jersey, infant daughter of the Rev. Henry Cleare.
ARBROATH.—The new church of St. Mary's, Arbroath,
diocese of Bre-chin, was opened a short time back by the
bishop. The church is of the decorated or middle-pointed
style of Gothic architecture, consisting of nave and chancel,
with north aisle continued partly over the chancel, havin„..
high-pitched roofs, and the whole very tastefully grouped
with a handsome spire at the north-west end of the aisle,
twenty feet square at the base, and rising to the height of
one hundred and thirty feet.

PROPAGATION OP THE GOSPEL : MEETING AT EXETER.
—The anniversary of the Societies for the Promotion of
Christian Knowledge, and for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts, was celebrated in Exeter, on
Thursday, by divine service in the cathedral, attended by
the mayor and corporation in state. The sermon was
announced to have been preached by the Lord Bishop of
Natal, but, owing to some unexplained cause, his lordship
was not present. After waiting till within two or three
minutes of the commencement of the service, the disap-
pointment was made known to the Lord Bishop of Exeter,
who never fails, when circumstances permit, to be present
on these interesting occasions. His lordship, although
quite unprepared for such an announcement, and there-
fore unprovided with a sermon, at once consented to fill
the place of the Bishop of Natal. The right rev, prelate
accordingly, at the conclusion of the lessons, delivered a
most eloquent and impressive sermon, taking his text
from St. Matthew xxvm. 18, 19, 20, " And Jesus came
and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost ; teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, 10, I
am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Amen." The address was, of course, extempore, his lord-
ship having had scarcely a moment's time to consider the
subject before the announcement of the service. The dis-
course, however, although unstudied, was particularly
suited to the occasion. His lordship, in the course of his
remarks, urged his hearers to look upon their assistance
in the support of Church missions not only as a duty, but
as a high privilege ; and pointed out to them, in language
most forcible and touching, that the assistance which was
most acceptable in the sight of God, was that which
required them to make personal sacrifices. At the con-
clusion of the bishop's sermon, a collection was made'at the
doors, which amounted to £BB 13s. 90., the box held by
Mr. Kekewich being found to contain a mite.
DTOCESE OF EDINBAIRGII.—A new church has been
erected at Trinity, near Edinburgh, for the accommoda-
tion of members residing in Newhaven. and Trinity, -under
'the sanction of the Bishop of Edinburgh. " The church,"
'says an Edinburgh journal, " which is dedicated in 'honour
'of the Holy Trinity, is of the middle pointed style of
architecture, commonly termed the decorated Gothic. It
is built of Fife free-stone in random squared ruble, with
'dressings of Craigleith stone, and consists of a 'chancel
19 by 16 feet, nave 45 feet by 20 feet, south porch and
south-west spirelet, a vestry, with outside door on the
north side of chancel. A portion of the vestry is parti-
tioned off for an organ chamber, opening into the,chancel,
with a segment arch of polished stone. The nave is
divided into three bays, the westermost being occupied
by the porch and spirelet, the others with segment-
headed two-light traceried windows in each. The east
and west gables are pierced with three-light windows,
with rich tracery in the head, of different and symbolical
design, that for the chancel being more elaborate.- The
chancel arch is of two orders, the inner arch is deeply
moulded and enriched with the ball-flower, supported on
carved stone corbels and the whole surrounded with a
label moulding resting on two angels. From stone
corbels between each bay rises a principal or roof truss,
framed with laminated timber, forming a large 'Gothic
arch; on these are laid the longitudinal bearers to which
the roof boarding is fixed. All the timber, of fine red

Open benches, with carved ends, occupy the nave, leaving
an avenue in the centre, laid with encaustic tiles. A
stone pulpit is fixed in the north-east angle, raised on
three steps, and finished with stone cornice and carved
heads. The chancel is raised one step, and on each side
is fixed a bench for the choir. The sacrarium is raised
two steps, and is divided from the choir with altar rails
of moulded wood work, enclosing the Lord's Table, which
is framed of massive oak. Both the choir and the sacra-
rium are laid with Minton's encaustic tiles, the 'latter
containing emblems of the Evangelists and the Agnu,?Dei
in red, blue, and yellow. A stone font occupies the
ancient position to the left hand on entering by the south
porch. Stone crosses of beautiful design surmount the
apex of each gable, and a gilt iron one terminates the
point of the spirelet. Traceried openings pierce each
aide of the belfry, which is octagonal, finished with a
moulded cornice, having grotesque heads at the angles.
The church is provided with 150 kneelings, and though
small, possesses every essential of a church. It has cost
nearly one thousand pounds, the whole of which has been
defrayed by the Rev. Walter Mitchell Goalen. A burial
vault has been formed in the chancel for the beneficent
founder and his family, which we trust may be many
years unoccupied. The Messrs. Hay, of Liverpool, who
have erected so many ecclesiastical structures, are the
architects, and this church fully sustains their well-earned
reputation.

AN AGED COIIPLE were drowned, a few days ago, near
Droylesden, by walking into a canal at night. The event
was unknown until their son was passing the spot on the
following morning, when he accidentally discovered both
bodies.

A MiLrrluy " REVOLUTION.. "—A local paper (the
Chronicle) says :—" Limerick has at length been totally
ung,arrisoned. For the first time since the siege, the city
of the violated treaty is left in the keeping of a handful of
raw recruits. The 57th depot has gone off to Birr,
and the 40th depot has been removed up to the new bar-
racks to replace the `die herds.' The Castle barracks, in
which the 40th were stationed, has, since their removal,
been closed, andthere are at present a sergeant, a corporal,
and two or three privates keeping possession of it."
PRIVATE Brair..s.—From a Parliamentary paper recently
issued, it appears that in the last session of Parliament 362
private bills came under the consideration of the House of
Commons, of which 321 originated in that house, and 41
were brought down from the House of Lords.; 269 private
bills received the Royal assent, among which were 81 rail-
way bills, 26 bills relating to roads and bridges, 23 relat-
ing to waterworks, 13 to ports and docks, and 43 to pav-
ing, righting, and improvement of towns.
CAPTAIN COOK'S CHRONOMETER has been presented to
the United Service Institution by Admiral Sir Thomas
Herbert. It has undergone some adventures. After two
voyages with Cook, Lieut. Blight took it out in the Bounty ;
the mutineers carried it to Pitcairn's Island; it wassold to
an American, who sold it again in Chili ; finally Sir Thomas
Herbert bought it at Valparaiso for fifty guineas.

A LIBEL ON THE LADIES.—A United States paper is
charged with the following libel on the " sex" :—" We
have noticed that five women will spread out their clothes
so as to take up the entire side of an omnibus, thus occu-
pying the room designed for eight ; and then, if another
woman presents herself at the door, they will cry out—
' You can't come in here! there 'aitit no room ;' but if a
man wants to get in, they can make room easy enough."
RUSSIAN CONTRACT BUILDING. Letters from St.
Petersburg state that the Czar has ordered the arrest of
the contractors who were employed to eonstruct the works
at Bomarsund, now destroyed. The charge pretended
against them is, that they undertook to build the fortifi-
cations from base to summit, while it is now proved that
the interior was a loose rubble, incapable of opposing any
resistance to the concussions of the shot, and pouring out
of the least breach in the facings of the forts.
SUDDEN DEATH OF TICE MARQUIS OF ORMONDE.—The
city of Kilkenny was, on Tuesday, thrown into a state of
unusual excitement by a rumour, which later accounts
completely verified, of the sudden demise of the Marquis
of Ormonde, at Loftus-lodge, county of Wexford, whither
he had gone a short time since, accompanied by the Mar-
chioness and family, to enjoy the benefit of sea bathing.
The late Marquis of Ormonde was born on the 24th August,
1808, and succeeded to the title in 1838. He married in
1843 Frances Jane, daughter of the Hon. Sir E. Paget,
second son of the late Marquis of Anglesea, by whom he
leaves four sons and two daughters. The young Earl of
Ossory (now Marquis of Ormonde) is only 11 years old.

MR. DisBAELI IN DEVONSHIRE.—The Right Hon. the
ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Disraeli arrived
at Plymouth on Monday last, being received at the
station by Sir J. B. Y. Buller, Bart., M.P., and S. Tris-
cott, Esq., of the Royal William Victualling Yard. Mr.
Disraeli is the guest of the latter gentleman during his
stay at Plymouth and Devonport. A large party was in-
vited to meet him at dinner, and on the following morning
Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli went to the official residence of
Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith, at Devonport, where
they witnessed a review of the South Devon Militia.
They proceeded thence to the new steamyard at Keyham,
and afterwards visited the dockyard, over which establish-
ment they were conducted by Rear-admiral Eden, the
superintendent. From the dockyard they embarked and
went on board the Impregnable,l2o, flag-ship, which they in-
spected, and subsequently proceeded to Mount-Edgeeumbe,
where they were received by the Countess Mount-Edge-
cumbe and Lord Valletort (the noble earl being absent on
a cruise in his yacht), by whom they were conducted
through the beautiful gardens and park, with which they
expressed themselves highly delighted. In the evening,
Mr. Disraeli dined with Colonel Sir J. B. Y. Buller, and
the officers of the South Devon Militia, and among the
guests were Admiral Sir W. Parker, General Sir H. Smith,
E. R. P. Bastard, Esq., Captain Wise, &c. On Wednes-
day, Mr. and Mrs, Disraeli visited Mr. Bryant's sugar
refinery, and thence proceeded to Kitly, on a visit to Mr.
Bastard. On Thursday, they were guests of Sir John and
Lady Buller, at their temporary residence, Falco Villa.%
