Proceedings of Societies.

SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.

Various meetings have been held during the last quarter in all parts of England. Great success has already attended them. The following calculation is taken from a paper of suggestions on the subject:-"There are in England about 1,600,000 families in communion with the Church: if each family gave on the average 2s. 6d. a-year, (which is scarcely more than one halfpenny a-week), the amount contributed would be 200,000. The rich may be reasonably called upon to give much more liberally of their abundance: but surely there is hardly a single Churchfamily in the country that cannot afford to contribute, though it be of their poverty, one penny a-week towards the propagation of the Gospel in foreign lands."

Nearly all of the collections under the Queen's letter have come in. The following is the amount contributed by the several counties of England and Wales :—

CHESTER.

Liverpool Collegiate Institution.-A new educational establishment is about to be founded in this town, under the title of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution. J. Gladstone, Esq., has contributed 500l. towards its funds; Lords F. Egerton and Sandon have likewise placed their namnes amongst the donors, and consented to become vice-presidents. The bishop of the diocese has accepted the office of visitor.-Liverpool Mail.

GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL.

Horsley.-On Wednesday, Oct. 16, the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol consecrated the new church and additional cemetery at Horsley, Gloucestershire; and afterwards, with about forty of the clergy and an equal number of the principal contributors, was entertained by Rev. Samuel Lloyd, the vicar, to whose exertions the parish are chiefly indebted for this admired edifice. It is cruciform, built of white stone, by Messrs. Rickman and Hussey, in the old English style, harmonising with the ancient tower, and forming together a conspicuous ornament to the landscape; and by its outward form and internal arrangement a model of rural ecclesiastical architecture, and a real blessing to the poor, containing 536 free, out of 1032 kneelings.

SARUM.

Meetings of the Clergy.-From a paragraph which has appeared in this and most of the metropolitan journals, it appears that the clergy of a certain district in the county of Wilts, and diocese of Salisbury, have come to a resolution to meet amongst themselves once or twice in every year to consult generally on the affairs of the Church, and to take such measures as the circumstances of the times may require, the better to protect their temporal interests from the designs of scheming politicians and other officious meddlers, and above all to guard the welfare and efficiency of the established Church, at whose sacred altars they minister, and whose holy doctrines they are bound by the most solemn ties to maintain and teach. The example thus set by the clergy of Wilts should be followed by their reverend brethren in every part of the kingdom. -Morning Herald.

WINCHESTER.

Church-extension in Southwark.-It is in contemplation to build three new churches in the parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, which contains a population of 50,000 inhabitants, with only two places of worship, the parish church, and a chapel of ease, belonging to the establishment. The want of church-accommodation in this large parish has been long and severely felt. Schools for the education of children on the national system will be attached to each church. The Metropolitan Church-building Fund, the Incorporated Society, and her majesty's commissioners, will furnish grants; and there is no doubt a large sum will be subscribed by the wealthy inhabitants and large firms in the parish. The parishes of Christ Church, Blackfriars-road, and Bermondsey, are to be furnished with an additional church each, and schools, which are much wanting. The third new church in Rotherhithe parish is fast approaching to completion, and, when opened, the comprehensive plan of the Rev. Mr. Blick, the rector, of erecting three new churches, with a district of 3,000 souls to each church, leaving 4,000 to the mother church, and five new schools, will be fully carried out. The new and spacious church in Park Street, Southwark, is to be consecrated on Thursday next by the Bishop of Winchester. The large church, which is to hold 2,000 persons, now building on the site of the nave of the ancient church of St. Saviour, is in a very forward state. The side-walls of the edifice, which correspond with the architecture of the choir and ramparts, are up; and the large pointed arched windows, great doorway, and buttresses, already present an imposing appearance. This church, and St. Peter's, Park Street, afford additional church-accommodation to upwards of three thousand persons.-Conservative Journal, Nov. 2,

National Schools, St. George's, Camberwell.-On Oct. 28, (being the seventh anniversary of the re-opening of St.

George's district church,) the first stone of new schoolrooms and residences for the master and mistress was laid by Henry Kemble, Esq., M.P. for the eastern division of the county of Surrey and a resident of Camberwell. After divine service at St. George's church (it being the festival of St. Simon and St. Jude), the procession, consisting of the resident clergy, the churchwardens, the directors, architect and builder, and the children of the several charity schools at Camberwell, walked to the ground, which is very near the church, when appropriate prayers were read by the Rev. Samuel Smith, minister of St. George's church; and the ceremony was performed in the presence of a large concourse of persons who had assembled upon the occasion. When the stone had been laid, Mr. Kemble addressed the company upon the great advantages to be derived from institutions of this nature, where suitable education is afforded, based upon religious principles, strictly in accordance with the Established Church. A large proportion of the company afterwards proceeded to the parsonage in Wells Street, where they partook of a cold collation, and the whole of the children (about 400 in number) were regaled in their present school-rooms with meat, bread and cheese, and ale. The clergymen who attended upon the occasion were the Rev. Messrs. Melvill, Ainslie, Hankinson, Lilley, Lambert, Nash, Burton, Stainforth, Irons, and Rowsell. The building, which will be plain Gothic, is designed by Mr. W. G. Colman, of Buckingham Street, Strand, the architect appointed by the directors of the schools.

The schools in question were first instituted in the year 1824, for about 250 children; but in consequence of the increased and increasing population of the neighbourhood, it has become necessary that more commodious schoolrooms should be built, to contain at least 400 children, together with contiguous residences for the master and mistress; which the directors feel that they are now warranted in doing in furtherance of the benevolent wishes of the late John Ward, Esq., one of the original directors of the schools, who in the year 1835 bequeathed the very liberal sum of 500l. to the charity for that purpose.

scopal Church Society.-The annual meeting a Edinburgh, Dec. 4. A report of the proappear in next Register. Ep pal Synod.-On Sept. 5, a statistical report of the church for the year 1838 was laid before the synod, of which the following is a short abstract:-83 congregations; 86 clergymen; 2113 baptisms; 2098 catechumens; 784 confirmed; 204 marriages; 401 deaths; 8523 communicants. This report was drawn up by the Rev. J. W. Ferguson from returns hastily procured, and which were necessarily incomplete. That in future it may be rendered as accurate as may be, the synod agreed to request and require the minister of every congregation in the church, immediately after Whitsunday each year, to draw up a

complete statement of his congregation, under all the usual heads, and to forward the same to the synod-clerk of the diocese, whose duty it will be to draw up from these a general view or table of the whole diocese; of which he shall forward one copy to his own bishop, and another to the Rev. J. W. Ferguson, A.M., minister of St. Peter's chapel, Edinburgh. The purpose of this last is to enable Mr. Ferguson to draw up a general statistical report of the whole church, to be laid before the bishops at their annual meeting in September. The thirty-fourth canon renders it imperative on the bishops to hold an episcopal synod every year, at such time and place as the majority of them shall appoint. Such synods, of course, will be holden at such times and places as cireumstances may require or direct. It seems important, in the meantime, to acquaint the clergy and laity of the church generally, that the bishops, as trustees of the Pantonian and other funds, meet in Edinburgh every year, and that their meeting is now fixed to be on the first Wednesday of September. On this occasion, in each successive year, matters of difficulty may be referred to the bishops in synod assembled for their consideration and counsel; and matters of discipline may, at the same time, be presented by appeal or otherwise, as the canons direct, or the case requires, to be then duly considered and determined, in conformity with the canon law, constitution, and uniform practice of the church. All concerned are hereby respectfully requested and required to take special notice of the foregoing arrangements, and to attend to them as circumstances shall require. JAMES WALKER, D.D., Primus.

Miscellaneous.

Scriptural Education in Ireland.-The committee of the London Hibernian Society having before them upwards of one hundred applications for new schools, many of which would be at once opened in the darkest and most desolate parts of Ireland, are compelled to make an earnest appeal to the friends of scriptural education, for aid to enable them to supply the requisite funds, which otherwise cannot be procured. The committee are anxious it should be known that the average cost to the society of each day-school is not more than 101. annually; and they are willing to guarantee that, for every additional 107. subscribed, a school shall be established in any part of Ireland the subscriber may prefer; and a quarterly account of the state and progress of the school sent to the person so contributing. The average number of scholars in attendance at each of the day-schools is seventy-eight.

Sunday-Schools in Ireland.-The friends and supporters of these schools are exerting all their power and influence to raise subscriptions throughout England towards their maintenance. With this laudable view they purpose holding meetings immediately at Bath, and to have charitysermons preached. According to the last report of the society, which has just been circulated, the total number of schools amounts to 3,006, which contain 226,650 scholars, having 21,828 teachers. Of the total number of boys, 139,102 read the Bible and Testament; 45,944 are adults, above the age of 15, and not one-half are receiving education at the daily schools. The number of schools founded during the past year considerably exceeds that of the preceding years. The increase of the distribution of Bibles during the same period reached 1,423 copies, and that of Testaments averaged an equal number.
