TRANSPORT AND MAII

---4.--

THE war, brief though its period of existence, has
been productive of numerous social revolutions, and pro•
mises to effect others of very general importance. Among
those which threaten considerable publi

iconveni,

tbe. interruption of our previously
mail system will be severely felt. The emergencies of our
own troops, and those of our allies in the Crimea, have
caused Government to avail themselves of all the aid to
be attained by employing the mail steamers, as troop and

vell-organised ocean

store ships, wherever that could be done, without in the
most serious manner impeding the_ public _service.._._ Last
week we alluded to ihe fact that, in consequence of three
of the Cunard steamers being engaged by Government,
there will be no mail despatched by that line to New
York from Liverpool before the 9th of December. A
notice from the General Post-office, since published,
confirms what we then stated. In addition to this
interruption, the Royal Mail Company . have been de-
•

prived of steamers to perform the service between South-
ampton and the Brazils ; and the mails must consequently
be transmitted from this port by the South American
Company's steamer Pampero, which sails on Friday next.
After the 2nd of next month, no mails will be despatched
for the West Indies at present. The General Screw Com-
pany having no vessel to take out the Australian mail of
the 4th proximo, it will be conveyed from this port by the
Black Ball clipper James Baines, on the 9th of December.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company are at present per-
forming their contract with smaller steamers ; but it is
anticipated that even these will shortly have to be pressed
into the transport service. Southampton is quite de-
serted, with the exception of oue or two vessels under-
going repairs, previously taken up by Government. The
following list of magnificent steamers belonging to the
Southampton mail companies are at present employed as
transports :-Royal Mail Company :-Oronoco (paddle),
2,900 tons, 800-horse power ; Avon (p), 2,069 t., 450 h.p. ;
Thames (p), 1,900 t., 450 h.p. ' • Medway (p), 1,895 t., 430
h.p. ; Trent (p), 1,856 t., 430 h.p. • Tamar (p), 1,800 t.,
450 h.p. Peninsular and Oriental Company ;-Hima-
laya (screw), now the property of the Government, but'

cered and manned by the General Screw Company, 2,750
t., 300 h.p. ; Indiana, 2,364 t., 300 h.p. ; Golden Fleece,
2,500 t., 300 h.p. ; Jason, 2,500 t., 400 h.p. ; Hydaspes
1,800 t.; 300 h.p. ; Harbinger, 1,00 t., 150 h.p.; Propontis
530 t., 100 h.p. This list shows that Southampton has con-
tributed 22 steamers, of 32,266 tons and 8,530 horse power.
Liverpool also has borne her fair share in furnishing the
Government with steam-ships, screw and paddle, for ser-
vice as transport or store vessels, as will be seen by the
following list of ships, tonnage, and power :-Cunard
Company : Arabia (p), 2,700 tons, 800-horse power ;
Europa (p), 1,850 t., 650 h.p. ; Niagara (p), 1,850 t., 650
h.p. ; Cambria (p), 1,200 t., 440 h.p. ; Jura (s), 2,200 t.,
400 h.p. ; Emu (s), 1,600 t., 350 h.p. ; Alps (s), 1,400 t.,
300 h.p. ; Andes (s), 1,400 t., 300 h.p. Canadian Com-
pany : Cleopatra, 1,400 t., 300 h.p. ; Ottawa, 1,200 t., 200
h.p.; Charity, 1,200 t., 200 h.p.-all screws. Liverpool
and Philadelphia Company : Kangaroo (s), 1,900 t.,
350 h.p. South American Company : Imperatriz (s),
1,800 t., 200 h.p. Cork and Liverpool Company : Alba-
tross (s), 750 t., 200 h.p., and Cormorant (s), 850 t., 200
h.p. ; making a total of 15 vessels, of 22,950 tons and
5,540-horse power. In addition to these are about 20 or
30 sailing transports, of the largest class, belonging to
this port.

THE LARGEST LONDON CHURCH income is £2,081 9s. sd.
for St. Botolph's, Bishopsg►ate, and the smallest is but £4O
for St. Helen's, Bishopsgate.
CHAPLAINS FOR THE CRIMEA.—The Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel received upwards of one hun-
dred applications from clergymen desirous of proceeding
as assistant-chaplains to the seat of war. Ten of these
were selected, and have received their appointment from
the War-office. Seven of this number have already left
for the Crimea. _ _

A VIsITiTION was held by the Ven. Archdeacon Stone-
house, in the Consistory Court of Lincoln Cathedral, on
Thursday, the 9th inst., and afterwards adjourned to the
White Hart Hotel, to hear three complaints against Wm.
Middleton, the parish clerk of the parish of Stow. The
charges 'against him were, annoying certain parties by
grinning at them while passing to and from church, mis-
behaviour at a wedding, and brawling during the reading
of the sentences previous to the administration of the
sacrament. The charges were fully sustained, and the
clerk was dismissed from his office.
THE BISHOP DESIGNATE OF SYDNEY.—The Right
Rev. Dr. Frederick Barker, who has been appointeti Lord
Bishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of Australia, preached
a farewell sermon to his congregation at Baslow, near
Bakewell, Derbyshire, on Sunday week. The benefice
which the bishop has vacated is but of a small annual
value, and is in the gift of the Duke of Devonshire ; but
the Crown will, in all probability, claim the next pre-
sentation ;according to the usual practice in such cases.
Prior to his nomination to the incumbency of Baslow, last
year, Dr. Barker was perpetual curate of St. Mary's
Church, Edge-hill, Liverpool, an appointment which he
held nearly twenty years.
THE FRIEND OF THE CLERGY.—On Sunday, two ser-
mons, in aid of the Friend of the Clergy, were preached
in the parish church of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields ;—that in
the morning by the Rev. W. Cadman, rector of St. George's,
Southwark. The rev. gentleman said that the society was
established for two objects; one to secure permanent pro-
vision for the widows and unmarried daughters of clergy-
men of the Established Church, for those who were left by
the death of their earthly supporter to the benevolence of
the friends of Christ ; and to 'extend relief to clergymen
under circumstances of temporary difficifities. It was
imperative on the part of all members of the Church to
support such a Society, to help the beloved ones of the
man whose instructions and holy life had been a-blessing
to the district in which he had 'laboured, and had, from
the necessities induced by the paltry pittance on which he
was, compelled to maintain himself and his family, been
exch4led from the intercourse with society to which he
was ftgy entitled. The number of thoclergy in England,
Wales, agd Ireland, amounted to 18,000;
and it was be-
lieved AO the ftygage income of the .teachers of the
