Tan Bistro:, or NEW ZEILAND.—This right rev. pre-
late, though far away from the scene of his appointed
labour, seems nevertheless to be most laboriously engaged.
On Sunday week, he preached at Eccleshall ; on Mon-
day, at the Cathedral Church at Lichfield, speaking at a
meeting at the Guildhall there in the afternoon; on Tues-
day morning he took part in the ceremony of opening
Oxon Church, Shrewsbury, in the evening lecturing before
the Young Men's Institute ; and on Wednesday morning
preached at Wells.
THE BISHOPRIC OF SYDNEY. —The Cambridge
Chronicle states that the bishopric of Sydney, which was
vacant upwards of eighteen months,was offered in succession
to three Irish clergymen : first to Mr. Hamilton Verschoyle,
of Dublin, who declined it ; then to Mr. C. M. Fleury,
chaplain to the Molineux Asylum, Dublin, who also refused
it; and then to Mr. Frederick Barker, who accepted the
appointment. Mr. Barker's consecration is expected to take
place next month, and he will shortly afterwards proceed
to Australia.

A GOOD EXAMPLB.—The Cornwall Gazette, speaking
(of the day of thanksgiving at St. Feock, says—" The vicar
(the Rev. T. Plaillpotts, nephew to the Bishop of Exeter)
expressed his regret to a Wesleyan parishioner that, on the
day specially appointed for the nation to express its thanks,
thewhole parish should notmeet under one roof,to bless God
for his goodness together. The parishioner talked the
subject over with his friends, and they consulted one of the
preachers of the circuit, who entirely approved the sugges-
tion, as that which Wesley in his day would have com-
mended and enjoined. The consequence was, that the
Wesleyan chapel was not opened on Sunday morning, and
the whole parish thronged their church, where the number
of communicants was greater than probably was ever
before known at St. Feocic."

Sr. Jones, DEPT7ORI3.—On Monday the first stone of
this church was laid by the Archdeacon of Middlesex. It
is to be of a handsome Gothic structure, of large dimen-
sions, beautifully situate on a hill adjoining the Lewisham-
road. A number of the clergy and gentry of the neigh-
bourhood were assembled on the occasion. Archdeacon
Sinclair stated that one individual had placed £lO,OOO at
his disposal to build a ,church, parsonage, and schools in
the parish of Deptford ; and that to meet this contribution
another liberal friend of the church (James Lucas, Esq.,)
had presented him with an elegant villa and garden for a
parsonage, and also with commodious sites for the church
and for the schools.

DIOCESE or MANcrosm.—Ordination : The Lord
Bishop of Manchester held an ordination in the parish
church of Foulton-le-Fylde on Sunday week, when the
following gentlemen were ordained, and afterwards li-
censed to the curacies set opposite to their respective
names :—Wra. Ford Thureby, S.C.L., Emanuel College,
Cambridge, to Worsthornel Ellis Fred. Thorold, M.A.,
Corpus Christi College, Oxford, to Poulton-le-Fylde ; Evan
Alfred Jenkin, BA., Caius College, Cambridge, to St.
Matthew's, Manchester; Alfred Pavey, B.A„ Queen's
College, Oxford, to St. James's, Heywood ; Wm. Henry
Fell, 8.A., Trinity College,'Cambridg,e, to St. John, Lan-

caster.—Appoint-men/2; His lordship, on Saturday week,
at Poulton-le-Fylde, licensed the Rev. Henry Thomas to the
stipendiary curacy of St. John's Church, Lytham, on the
nomination of the Rev. W. H. Self, the incumbent. On
Tuesday, at the Diocesan Registry, St. James's-square, his
lordship licensed the Rev. Wm. Wilson, M.A., to the per-
petual curacy of St. Andrew's, Manchester, vacant by the
resignation of the Rev. Henry Wray, the last incumbent,
on the not of the Dean and Canons of Manchester,
the patrons. Mr. Wilson's acceptance was not compulsory,
as owing to a defect in the details of this act it became
voluntary onhis part.
Tua Caunen IN SCOTLAND.—The convocation of the
laity of the diocese of Moray and Ross was held at Inver-
ness on the 20th nit. The Litany was said by the Bishop's
chaplain, and the Holy Communion was administered.
Thereafter the. Bishop constituted the convocation in the
name of the 'Holy Trinity, and then delivered to the
laity present an address from which we select the
following passages :—" I confess (said, the Bishop) that
amongst the motives which have influenced me in sum-
moning to council the lay members of my diocese, that of
engaging them in determining controversies has had no place.
I had rather thought of engaging them in such practical
work as woukileave little time or thought for controversy,
and whose valuable and beneficial remits might go far to
blunt its edge, and tend to draw Churchmen together on
points on which they are agreed, rather than engage them
on those on which they differ. 'lf any man will do God's
will he shall know of the doctrine,' encourages me to be-
lieve that when all orders and degrees of men are severally
engaged in doing God's will by doing 'His Church's work
in the ChurNs way, according to their several abilities
in their respective stations, our knowledge of truth will
become clearer,and unity of sentiment-will be promoted
by unity of action." After alluding to the prevalent evil
which arises from the want of united action and sympathy
among Scottish Churchmen, his Lordship eaid :—" It iano
slight advantage'to me that the Church by her canons has
authorized me annually to seek the counsel and advice of

the Presbyters of the diocese. It is because 'I am sensible
of the advantages 'thus afforded, because I Seel that I am
now losing the aid which. I might also derive from the
counsel and advice of the laity, and because I think it will
be for the furtherance of the great objects for which I have
been called to preside over this portion of the lord's vine-
yard, that I have convened this Convocation, that I propose
its annual convention, and that I ask, as your bishop,
cordial and effective co-operation where our interests are
one, our objects one, and with, I trust, the superintending
influence of God's Holy Spirit, we may labour together to
promote the object for which the Incarnate Saviour con-
stituted His Church on earth—the salvation of the souls
for which He died." On the conclusion of the Bishop's
addresses, some resolutions were agreed to, expresfing ap-
proval of the course pursued by the bishop in summoning
a convocation.

PLAIN PRBACRING.—In the charge to his clergy., re-
cently delivered, the Lord Bishop of Llandaff made the
following remarkiwith reference to preaching. He said:--
I am persuarded that in our sermons we do not descend
sufficiently to the level of the lower classes of our hearers.
The dissenting preacher, at least in this part of the king-
dom, has one great advantage over the clergyman—that
his congregation consists of persons of the same rank in
society ; and, therefore, it may be presumed, of the same
measure of attainment. He is consequently under no
temptation to adopt a style of preaching which, though it
might be acceptable to some, would be incomprehensible
to others of his hearers. But our own congregations are
gathered from all classes of the community ; and we too
often forget that, although the educated portion of them
may grasp the meaning of involved and parenthetic sen-
tences, and may be familiar with a phraseology of foreign
extraction, to the poor and illiterate such words and sen-
tences are altogether unintelligible. That such is the
case we all readily admit ; but we do not so commonly act
in accordance with our convictions. Our habits of thought
and expression have been oast in another mould : and too
often, in reference to this particular, we forget the apos-
tolic precept—Condescend to men of low estate. The
consequence of which is that our sermons are often not
understood, and a temptation is put in the way of the
lower and middling classes to seek elsewhere the instruc-
tion which is within the reach of their Capacity. It is to
our English rather than to our Welsh addresses that I
intend these observations to be applied. An English sen-
tence can hardly be composed without introducing words
of foreign origin. With a few of these words, usage has
made our people familiar; but not understanding the sources
from which they are derived, they are utterly perplexed
by any new and unheard-of combination. The complex
terms in the Welsh language are, on the other hand,
composed of familiar and well-known elements. The idea
they present is, therefore, immediately grasped, though
the word through which it is conveyed may never have
been heard of before. * * * How much, again, of the
sympathy that should unite the affections of the people
with our liturgical forms is lost in those parishes where
the sick are never invited by their pastor to desire the
prayers of the church, nor taught to utter the voice of
thanksgiving for the recovery of health, in the midst of
the congregation. It is the want of this individual ap-
probation of our services that renders them, to so many,
dull and uninteresting forms. The habit of making them
their own would give them an additional meaning, pro-
mote Christian charity, and cement the bond of fellowship
with the pastor himself, and between the several members
I of his flock.

LONG SERMONS.—The Times having given place to a
long correspondence complaining of the various versions
(172, our correspondent counts) of psalms and hymns used
in the Church of England, "An Islingtonian" takes up
the subject of long sermons. He complains
" I could not enter any church in the parish in which I
reside with the slightest expectation that the sermon
would be under an hour in length. The allowance is fifty
minutes under ordinary circumstances, and sixty on
special occasions.
This evil of long sermons is one which the clergy
should forthwith amend, if they are sincere in desiring
the people to come to church more generally than is the
case. Can it be expected that a man whose hand or brain
is fully employed all the week will sit for a mortal hour
on Sunday without occupation, unless constrained to do so
by a strong sense of religious duty ?
" I am a professional man, so closely employed that I
have to work in the evening as well as by day. I cannot
attend public worship in the morning of any working day,
but I can do so sometimes in the evening. The time re-
quired for the prayers I cheerfully take from my business,
but I do chafe over giving an additional hour for a ser-
mon. Why are not our churches open in the evening, as
they are in a morning in many places, for prayers only P
"I do not wish to undervalue preaching, but I am sure
of this, that when we are most under the influence of re-
ligion we think most of the prayers, and that when devo-
tion grows cold we concern ourselves chiefly about the
sermon.

" You have more than once expressed an opinion that
there is at present a great dearth of preaching ability.
Perhaps that is why the sermons are so long—the de-
ficiency of quality is made up in quantity. The prescrip-
tion for a sermon seems to be in form like that of the
physicians :—" Take such and such ingredients, and add

water up to so many minutes."

MEDICAL HONOURS POE A BISHOP.—The Rev. Dr.
McDougall, Bishop-designate of Borneo, has been elected a
Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Before taking
holy orders the rev. gentleman was a surgeon, having
passed his examination at the College on June 3, 1839.
WHALLEY Curßcn, BLACZBURN.—On Sunday week,
this old church was re-opened for service, after having
been beautified and restored to its old state. Collections
were made to defray the expenses of the restoration, which
amounted to upwards of £64.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. THOMAS NOLAN.—A testi-
monial consisting of a purse containing 200 guineas, and a
piece of plate, was presented, on Thursday week, to the
Rev. Thomes Nolan, who has been for the last five years
minister of St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row, London. Mr.

Nolan has been presented to the living of Acton, Cheshire,
and is succeeded at St. John's by the Rev. J. B. Owen, of
Bilston, Staffordshire.
TIEE PEW SYSTEM.—The Wakefield Journal contains
a report of an assault case heard before the Barnsley magis-
trates, arising out of a dispute about a pew in Silkstone
church. One party got inside the pew and held the door
fast ; the other claimant forced his way in, but was seized
by the collar and ejected by the other, and his hat thrown
after him ; and all this was done during the Communion
service.

NEW CHURCH IN COVENTRY-STREET, LONDON.—Her
Majesty has subscribed £5OO, the Bishop of London £l,OOO,
and Viscount Sidney £lOO, towards the erection. of a new
church for the parish of St. James, Westminster. The
church will be built in Coventry-street, Haymarket, be-
tween Rupert-street and Princes-street.
THE LATE BISHOP WAINWRIGHT, of NEW YORK.—
At a meeting in aid of the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel, held at St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, on Thurs-
day, the iollowing allusion was made to the late Bishop
of New York, Dr. Wainwright, by the Rev. H. Mackenzie,
who was in the chair:—" It must have been a cause of re-
gret to all who heard in our parish church,and in the vestry
house of this parish, the voice of the able and gifted Dr.
Wainwright, distinguished for its truthfulness even more
than for its peculiar melody, to hear that tidings have just
been received in England of that gifted prelate's death.
It was very shortly after he returned to America, from
this country, in 1851, that he was elected to the high office
of a Bishop in the Church of Christ, as Provisional Bishop,
of the diocese of New York. Since that time he was dis-
tinguished for the faithful fulfilment of his sacred but
elevated functions; and, in his removal from his sphere of
laborious duty on earth to his rest in the Lord, we in
England do but echo the sentiments of our brethren in
America, who say, as we reflect on his 'passing from his
'house on earth to his house not made with hands, eternal
in the Heavens, May I die the death of the righteous,
and may my last end be like his.' " The meeting was also
addressed by the Rev. Charles Mackenzie, Prependary of
St. Paul's ; Rev. J. P. Gell, Diocesan Secretary of the
Society; Rev. Dr. Camilleri, Rev. F. S. Jones, and others.
NEW CIiIIRCH a.r LEIGHTON.—On Tuesday, the new
church of the Holy Trinity at Leighton was consecrated
by the Lord Bishop of Hereford. It has been built at the
sole expense of John Naylor, Esq., of Leighton Hall, at
about a mile distant from his residence, and occupies a spot
of ground commanding a most lovely prospect, from which
beautiful views are obtained of Powis Castle and park,
the town of Welshpool, its new and beautiful church
standing out in bold relief from 'the lofty hills and widely
spreading woods which surround it; the Breidden Hills
surmounted by Rodney's Pillar, and the Moel-y-Golfa ; the
Severn winding its silvery course through the picturesque
valley ; and the hall of the proprietor of the estate upon
which the church is built, adjacent to which stand the
extensive farm buildings, upon which an immense amount
pf money has been expended with a view of introducing
among his tenantry every modern agricultural improve-
ment and appliance. The church is in the pure English
style ef the 14th century (commonly called decorated), is
built of two different kinds of stone, of which one, of a
very dark blue grey colour, is found on the estate, and the
other a pale creamy sandstone, comes from the Minera
Quarries, near Wrexham. The dimensions of the building
are—Extreme length, from W. to E., 804 feet; width of
nave, 21 feet ; ditto of two aisles, 21 feet ; extreme width,
42 feet; length of chancel, 20 feet : width of ditto 15 feet;
width of tower, 104 feet ; height of walls and springs of
main roof, 294 feet:; total height of ridge roll, 48 feet;
height of tower from ground line of branch, 654 feet ;
height of spire, 84 feet; total height to pinnacle of spire,
150 feet. The east window—of five lights, the extreme
height being 23 feet, extreme width 11 feet, and
the height of arch, 11 feet—is filled with five
figures, nearly life size, representing our Saviour and
the four Evangelists. Our Lord is pourtrayed as offering
to ill'the blesSings-of the Gospel, and may be supposed as
uttering the injunction—" Come unto me all ye that are
weary and heavy laden. and I will give you rest." The
Evangelists appear as recording the events of the Gospel
narrative. Each figure is surmounted by canopied niches,
within which are small figures of the patriarchs, judges,
kings, and prophets, The tracery within the arch repre-
sents St. John _preaching in the wilderness ; the Spirit
descending upon the apostles at Pentecost ; the raising 'of
Lazarus; our Lord giving sight to the blind; the emblems
of the Trinity—the A. 0., the LH.S., and the Dove. The
west window contains five lights, the extreme height being
25 feet, extreme width 11 feet, and the height of arch n
feet. Subjects: Epitome of biblical history; Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, representing the patriarchal period ;
Moses, Aaron, and Isaiah, the Mosaic period; our Lord,
Peter, and Paul, the Christian period. There are also the
three emblems of sacrifice—namely, Abraham offering up
Isaac, the offering of the Lamb, and the circumcision ; and
the three emblems, of the water—the deluge, the passage
through the Red Sea, and the baptism. In the tracery
are the emblems of the twelve tribes, the expulsion, and
the ascension. The west aisle window is filled by the arms
of the founder. The chantry and aisle windows are filled
with ornaments and the founder's monograms. These
windows were designed and executed under the superin-
tendence of thesrchitect, and Messrs. Forrest and Bromley,
of Liverpool: Architect, W. H. Gee, Esq., Liverpool;
builders, Messrs. J. and W. Walker, Birkenhead ; encaustic
tiles manufactured by Messrs Minton, and Co., Stoke-
upon-Trent ; bells cast by Messrs. Taylor and Sons,
Loughborough. The cost of its erection and endowment
is about £22,000. There are also school-houses built in
the Gothic style near the church, in which a number of
children are educated at Mr. Naylor's expense.
Tun Cuuncx xrr Tun PACIFIC.—At a recent meeting
in Wells,' the Bishop of New Zealand, in the course of a
long and interesting speech, made the following remarks
on this important subject. He said, referring to New
Zealand : If they went to the neighbouring islands of
Melanesia, they found a race descended apparently from
African extraction. To the eastward they were supposed
to be of Asiatic origin; but to the westward there were a
multitude of islands, almost all of which had, in various
degrees, an admixture of the African race, and, in many
cases, the full African character—the curly hair, and other
signs of the Negro race. Almost every island had a lan-
guage of its own. A small island of 500 persons would
have a language not spoken by any other people 'Pm the
face of the earth—a distinct and copious language, and
having considerable grammatical beauty. Here was a
great and rather difficult work to be performed. There
were the great groups of the Hebrides, New Caledonia,
(now occupied by the French), and the Society Islands,
with 20,000 or 30,000 inhabitants. Then to the north-
ward were the Solomon Islands, New Britain, New Han-
over, New Zealand, and New Guinea. Those who knew
the map would be aware that New Guinea was about as
distant from Borneo as from New Zealand ; and what they
hoped was, that the Bishop of Borneo would conduct his
operations to the westward, and that he and the Bishop of
New Zealand would meet and plant their common stan-
dards in the very centre of the great island of New Guinea,
there to announce the completion of the great work com-
menced at the beginning of this century, by carrying the
Gospel over all the islands which remained unconverted
throughout the whole Pacific. Referring to the lack of
any ordaining power, what they hoped was to begin at
once, and as speedily as possible, by an episcopal authority. -
Not wishing to employ English labourers in climates
where, if they fall, they must be replaced by others utterly
unacquainted with the language, they contemplated work-
ing at once by a native agency ; and, in order to that, to
gather together all the young men who might be fit to be
admitted into the Central Theological College, and to
place them in one of the most beautiful, and yet one of
the most humiliating, spots which stud the face of the vast
Pacific—Norfolk Island, where " only man is vile,"—
where we had sent out the very worst class of our con-
victs, to make that which God seems to have intended for
a Paradise to be what it has been described—a very hell -I
upon earth. Now that the convicts were about to be re-
moved from that island, it was proposed to remove the Pit-
cairn islanders thither. The man who, repenting of his
sins, standing as it were between the living and the dead,
who had seen all his comrades kill one another, afterwards
finding an old Prayer-book, taught all the children of the
mixed race who had descended from those sailors, the
mutineers of the Bounty, and thereby laid the foundation
of a community which is the wonder of even the rude
seamen, and to all educated men is the cause of thanks-
giving to God for his overruling providence, who, out of
the very depths of sin, has brought forth such abundant
tghreace IfJae ofththeye nß•eirsehoenap bolfedmtodaesnteasbialishaantdNtohrefol Ipik

islanders were, to a man, members of the Church of Eng-
land), the Rev. Mr. Nobbs would be the first minister ;
they would then gather all the native youths from the fifty
or the hundred islands which they might visit, that there,
under the direction of their own bishop, they might receive
their education in his theological college, and be by him
ordained ministers to their own countrymen in their own
language. And thus would be solved the problem how to
put in motion a system which, by God's blessing, may
evangelise the world; it was nothing short of that, for
there were at this moment five hundred millions of souls
Placed wider the rule of our church."

CHOLERA IN BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—Mr. Bailey,
livery porter in the above palace, was attacked with cholera
on Monday week, and died on the following Thursday.
The Ipswich Express reports a case of suicide in which
the party's mind became deranged because he could not
gratify a desire to serve as a soldier in the East.
TIM CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL of Parma has just con-
demned a priest named Felice Sanguineri to four years'
imprisonment for calumny.
APPROACHING WINTER.—The tops of the Grampians
are said to have been whitened by snow on the 6th inst.
GOVERNMENT have entered into a contract for the
manufacture of thirty-five millions of ball cartridges and
52,000 bombs, for the army in the east.
MR FRENCH EMPEROR has decorated a number of
medical officers with orders in the Legion of Honour for
their devotedness in attending cholera patients.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERT.—On Tuesday afternoon a farmer
from Argyleshire, who was attending Falkirk Tryst, was
robbed of £3BO while passing through a crowd near a
tent upon the market ground. The money was all in
Bank of England notes, the numbers of which are kuown.

TRADE AND MARKETS.

MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—No improvement in the market this
week. A general dulness has prevailed. Prices are barely
firm, being maintained only in those goods and yarns in
which large operations have lately taken place, and, as a
consequence, orders are still held in the course of execution.
There is a decided absence of anything approaching to a
spirit of speculation—a feeling existing generally, that
the highly-favourable accounts of the cotton crop in
America must lead to lower prices for the staple, although
it is impossible, at the present prices in Liverpool and
New York respectively, to import without entailing a loss.
Yarns have been only in limited demand, either for home
use or export. For the latter descriptions, the inquiry is
almost confined to the operations of the Greek houses,
and some for the Italian market. For India, as also for
Germany, there is little doing ; and for these descriptions
prices are barely firm. Yarns, for home use, are in
limited demand, with prices rather in the buyers' favour.
Warps may be had on better terms, as may also the lower
counts of cop yarns. 20's to 30's are not very abundant,
and consequently firm ; whilst 30's to 40's are hard to
meet, at very full prices. Goods are not even worse than
yarns, and the result is, that buyers can generally obtain
concessions, perhaps with the exception of the lighter
descriptions of T-cloths, long-cloths, and printers, which
are in demand by the Greek houses.
ROCHDALE.—The flannel market continues good and
the demand steady, with little or no variation in price.
Fine goods are most inquired after. In the wool market
there is no change worthy of notice : the manufacturers
continue to buy for immediate use only.

LEEDS.—Our cloth markets have' ruled dull, and the
demand out of the market has also fallen off, the mer-
chants having bought freely in the early part of the
season, are now pretty well supplied ; and the weather
continuing mild for the season, the consumption of winter
goods has hitherto been limited. Prices are firm, stocks
moderate, and the mills continue well employed. Business
has has been duller than for some time in the warehouses;
and the shipping houses are, as usual at this season, daing
little.

BRADFORD.—WooI The purchases now making are
very small indeed; so much is the production curtailed in
the worsted trade, that there is not 50 per cent. consumed
compared with 1552. Noils and brokes, from actual
scarcity, command good prices.—Yarns The business of
the worsted spinner is very bad; prices are far below the
cost to produce, and every day adds to the quantity of
idle machinery, and to the indisposition to adopt artificial
light. These further precautions tend to prevent depres-
sion in the present ruinous price for yarns.—Pieces The
orders given out at midsummer being now run out with
the manufacturers, and the cost of yarns greater than at
that period, it is impossible to produce goods except at a
great loss ; and, with the slackness among the American
houses, there is no disposition to make goods at the prices
now offering; and during the week large quantities of
looms have been stopped, and others put in short time.

LEICESTER.—Trade continues in a firmly active state
in most of the warehouses, although the press of business
is not fully equal to usual seasons, which can scarcely be
expected under existing circumstances. The glove trade
is very flat, and the greater part of that class of machinery
is still. Prices of wool and yarn remain firm.
NOTTINGNAM.—No improvement in either the lace
or hosiery branches ; each trade is depressed to an extent
unknown for some years, and until orders for goods
suitable for the spring trade are given out, this depression
will continue. No alteration in the price of yarn.
