DIOCESE OF CHESTER,

MARPLE.—The piece of land added to the churchyard
of Marple, Cheshire is to be consecrated by the bishop
on Monday next, the 7th instant, at one o'clock.
BROMBOROUGIL—The bishop has granted a license for
the performance of divine service in the school-room con-
nected with Price's Patent Candle Manufactory, at Brom-
borough, Cheshire, with reference especially to the persons
engaged in the manufactory.

VACANCY.—The perpetual curacy of Hoylake, Cheshire,
by the cession of the Rev. J. G. Longueville. Patron—
the Bishop of Chester.

TIIE MA.TnaTius.—lt is said that the Rev. Vincent W.
Ryan, 8.A., Principal of the Metropolitan Training Insti-
tution (Highbury College), formerly of the Liverpool Col-
legiate Institution, is to be consecrated the first Bishop.
Mr. Ryan was of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, and was in the
second class of classics in 1840. He has laboured in the
ministry in the Channel Islands, acquiring thereby a
facility of preaching in French, which will be very
valuable in a diocese where that language holds the
ascendant. Heretofore the Church of England has had
no firm footing in the island, and Protestantism has been
little more than barely tolerated. A large proportion of
the population are in a state of heathenism, and the re-
mainder are mostly Romanists.

DEATH or THE BISHOP OF KILMORE.—The Right Rev.
John Leslie, D.D., Lord Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin, and
Ardagli, died at the Palace, Kilmore, on the 22nd ult.,
from a violent attack of erysipelas in the head. His lord-
ship was consecrated Bishop of Domore in 1812—trans-
lated to Elphin in 1819—and, under the Church Tempo-
ralities Bill, took possession of Kilmore at the decease of
the ;late bishop, in 1841. His lordship was in his 82nd
year. By his death there will be a considerable accession
to the income of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, as his
successor will have to pay a large per tentage on his in-
come, from which the late bishop was exempt, and there
will also be a saving of the sum the board had to pay to
equalize the income of Kilmore with that of Elphin. His
lordship's successor will have to pay a charge to his ex-
ecutors of £13,000 for building the see house, the late
bishop having been made, by a special act of parliament,
to stand in the position of builder,
CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF SODOR AND MAN.—
On Tuesday the Archbishop of York, assisted by prelates
of the northern province, consecrated the Hon. and Rev.
Dr. Horace Powys, late rector of Warrington, who has
been presented by the crown to the bishopric of Sodor
and Man, in room of the Hon. and Rev. Lord Auckland,
translated to the bishopric of Bath and Wells. After the
ordinary prayers of the Church, and those specially ap-
pointed for the occasion, Dr. Powys, who was habited in
his rochet, was presented to the archbishop, who admitted
him to his new office by imposition of hands. The diocese
over which Dr. Powys will have jurisdiction consists of
the Isle of Man, the population of which at the last census
was 52,387, the number of benefices being 27. The
bishopric of Sodor and Man does not entitle its possessor
to a seat in the house of lords. On Thursday his lordship
sailed for the Isle of Man, the scence of his future labours,
in the Douglas steamer Mona's Queen, Capt. Quayle.
THE INCUMBENT OF EVERSLEY.—Every man is judged
by the way in which he fulfils his duty, as the Catechism '
says,in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call
him. Many of our readers know Mr. Kingsley more as a
writer of books than as a parish priest, which is his prin-
cipal vocation. We shall therefore introduce him to them
in this latter capacity. His sphere of labour is Eversley,
an agricultural parish of some seven or eight hundred in-
habitants, in Hampshire. During his incumbency, he
has, we understand, succeeded in conciliating the affec-
tions of all his parishioners; and with good reason—for,
if we are informed truly, his kind care extends to all of
them. Rich and poor are taught by him their reciprocal
duties towards each other. Education is provided for the
children. The aged and sick are visited at their own
habitations. Habits of thrift and economy are inculcated
upon both farmer and labourer. The good rector is open
to be consulted by them on all occasions. In jay or in
sorrow they can always reckon upon his sympathy. He
even joins in their pastimes handles his cricket-bat, we
are told, with as much dexterity as he does his pen ; and,
in short, accustoms all those around him to look upon his
life as a thing which has not only its duties but its inno-
cent enjoyments. —Critic.
INIQUITOUS PROCEEDING AT CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.
On the 23rd of June a letter was sent to the Daily News
signed "An Under-Master," which was inserted on the
Ist of July. The purport of the writer was to recommend
that the examination of the classes of the lower masters
of grammar schools should be conducted by examiners
not connected with the school, and not by the head-
master, who from his position could not be so impartial or
so fair. It did not mention Christ's Hospital at all, but
only eulogised the late Dr. Rice as a head-master who
always gave his under-masters a due. share of praise. A
notice was also sent and inserted, a few days since, stating
that the Rev. Mr. Thomson was recommended by the
Committee of Almoners to succeed Mr. Cheyne as second
master, and that the Rev. 11. Robinson was recommended
to succeed Mr. Thomson. For these offences, or supposed
offences (for Mr. Robinson is only told that he was sus-
pected), he was informed by Mr. Gilpin, the Treasurer of
Christ's Hospital, at a committee meeting, that he is no
longer a master of Christ's Hospital. Mr. Robinson has
been now a clergyman since 1842. From 1842 till the
commencement of 1849 he was curate of Dudcote Berks •
and since that time has filled satisfactorily the laborious
and responsible office of assistant master of Christ's Hos-
pital for five years at a salary of £l5l, and since that time
of £2OO.
THE BISHOP OF NEW ZEALAND.—At a recent meeting
in London the Bishop of New Zealand, in the course of his
speech, said :—Lest it should be os' supped that the altera-
tion in his financial position would make an alteration in
his determination to go back to New Zealand, he wished
to state most clearly and distinctly it was his intention,
God willing, to return to his own diocese, and to maintain
himself there by digging or begging, or by both. For
one thing he was thankful, that his services were no lon-
ger needed by her Majesty's Government, it having pleased
God, by the exortions of his excellent friend, Sir George
Grey, to restore New Zealand to a state of perfect tran-
quillity, The temple of Janus was closed, and the doors
of the Treasury were closed against him. It would have
been an advantage if the closing of the W.reasury doors
had been prospective inAtail 9f ret:4BKetwe., became it
