ST. CoLump Cnoru.—Some time ago we announced
that a magnificient new church was being built at Not-

Major, Cornwall, a

Since then we have learned that this generous individual
has established, in connection with this church, a college
of the above name for the reception of sixteen or twenty

chorister boys, who are boarded, lodged, and edUcaied
free of expense, and who are being trained to perform
daily choral service as in cathedrals and collegiate churches.
A large organ is also preparing at Gray and Davison's
manufactory, which will be divided and placed partly in
the northern and partly in the southern transepts, for the
the more effective accompaniment of the chanters on the

A LUCKY SON.—The Rev. Edward Renn Hampden, a
son of the Bishop of Hereford, has made rapid progress in
church preferment in the course of the present year.
Early in the year the incumbency of Breinton. in the

Cantores si

diocese ot Heretord, became vacant, and tn. _
ferred it upon his son. He had held this living but a few
weeks when Canon Musgrave, rector of Eaton Bishops, was

,p con-

preferred to a living in Yorkshire. The rectory of Eaton
Bishops, being worth about £5OO a year, and in the gift
of the Bishop of Hereford, was conferred upon Mr. Hamp-
den. He had not been long installed into the rectory of
Eaton Bishops when the Dean of St. Asaph rendered

vacant, amongst many other benefices, the rectory of
Cradley, worth £l,OOO a year. This being one of the
bishop's livings, was conferred upon Mr. Hampden, and
he has been duly collated to it by his father. The reverend
gentleman has thus been preferred to three benefices in
the course of a few mouths.—Globe. In reference to the
above, John Bull says See what it is to be the son of

a bishop ! Edward Renu Hampden is the fortunate man
whose moderate personal pretensions are made equal to
the highest grade of ecclesiastical merit by the lucky acci-
dent of his having sprung from the loins of Reun Dickson
Hampden, Incumbent of the See of Hereford
gentleman's gown had hardl

the shape of his back, byre he had become a beneficed
clergyman, with the charge of Breinton mercilessly thrust
upon his shoulders. But Breinton was not long to enjoy
young Renn's pastoral care. Within a few weeks the
rectory of Eaton Bishops became vacant, value £5OO a
year. Who so fit to fill it as the hopeful son of the Epis-
copal patron ? But hardly had the new rector taken pos-
session, before a living of twice that value, the rectory of
Cradley, fell in, being likewise in the bishop's gift. Of
course it was morally impossible that it should be con-
ferred upon any one else but the already twice collated
and inducted, the well-beloved Renn junior. Might we
venture to suggest, that before Episcopal appointments
are made in future, some phrenologist of eminence should
be called in to ascertain that the cranium destined to wear
the mitre is not disfigured by a disproportionate develop-
ment of the bump of philoprogenitiveness ? "
LAY-IDLERS AND CLERICAL WORKERS.—WhiIe legis-
lative bodies are devising plans, let not individuals forget
their duty as men, and brothers, and Christians. " The
fault of the Clergy !" " Where are the Clergy ?" How
glibly do such expressions come from the lips of men who,
by precept and example, are undoing all that the Clergy
are attempting to do ! There is not a grovelling penny-a-
liner who cannot, after rising, with the morning headache,
inquire, on any exhibition of popular ignorance, "Where
are the clergy ?" There is not a mob-mouther, as he
mounts his tub after thrashing his wife and starving his
children, who cannot ask, " What is the use of the Clergy ?"
There is not a graceless upstart member of " The House"
who cannot, after leaving his heartless frivolities, exclaim
with well-feigned astonishment, on any appropriate occa-
sion, " What are the Clergy doing ? " There is not a lazy
negligent manufacturer who cannot, after refusing his
five-shilling piece to the national school, wonder in. the
midst of a tumult, " What have the Clergy been about ? "
The Clergy have not done everything, it is true ; but they
have done much. Would you more ? Would you put
down " strikes," and animosity between employers and
employed ? Would you enlighten the ignorant mind and
soften the stubborn heart ? Would you instil loyalty
into disaffected feelings ? Would you sanctify the hearth
of the poor by contentment, industry, and virtue ? Then
join with the Clergy; in your individual capacities, strive
to do good; so walk that you may be an example to those
beneath you ; endeavour by the word spoken in season, to
reclaim the erring ; and be assured, in your respective
spheres, you will have more influence for good than
the Clergy can possibly exert. The Roman emperor
could boast that he found his city brick, and left it
marble. May God grant, that it may not be the eternal
reproach of our age, that we found England's greatness
apparently
Firm as the marble, grounded as the rock,
and that we left it shifting as the sandhill, passing as a
cloud.—Fraser's Magazine.
MULTIPLICITY OP HYMN BOOKS.—Some years ago,
a bishop, after taking possession of his see, made an
inquiry as to what hymn books were in use in his diocese,
and he pretently had not less than ninety different selec-
tions handed in to him.

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ARCHDEACON DENISON.-It
having been authoritatively announced that the Archbishop
of Canterbury has determined on taking proceedings, in
the ecclesiastical courts, against the Venerable George
Anthony Denison, M.A., Archdeacon of Taunton, it may
be interesting to state briefly the points which will be pro-
minently forced upon public attention, and the circum-
stances which have given rise to them :—" In April, 1853,
Dr. Spencer, late Bishop of Madras, was administering the
diocese of Bath and Wells for Dr. Bagot, who was unable,
through illness, to attend to his episcopal duties. Arch-
deacon Denison, who was examining chaplain to the
Bishop of Bath and Wells, put certain questions to the
candidates for holy orders, and gave them instruction on
certain points, which led Bishop Spencer to declare that
the archdeacon's teaching was not the. doctrine of the
Church of England." In consequence of this grave charge,
the Archdeacon formally presented to the Bishop of Bath
and Wells the following declaration :—" I have set out
below, in eight propositions, the doctrine of the Holy
Eucharist. I maintain this doctrine. I have not, any-
where, at any time, maintained any other doctrine :-1.
That the bread and wine become, by the act of consecration,
` the outward part or sign of the Lord's Supper ;' and, con-
sidered as objects of sense, are unchanged by the act of
consecration, remaining . still in their very natural sub-
stances.' 2. That ' the inward part or thing signified' is
` the body and blood of Christ.' 3. That the body and
blood of Christ,' being present naturally in Heaven, are
supernaturally and invisibly, but really, present in the
Lord's Supper, through the elements, by virtue of the
act of consecration. 4. That by . the real presence
of the body and blood of Christ in the Lord's Sup.
per ' is not to be understood the presence of an influ-
ence emanating. from a thing absent, but the super-
natural and invisible presence of a thing present, of His
very body and very blood present, under the form of bread
and wine.' 6. That the outward part or sign' and ' the
inward part, or thing signified,' being brought together in
and by the act of consecration, make the sacrament. O.
