Fifty-two clergymen in Derbyshire have presented a memorial to the Archbishop of Canterbury, expressing strong disapprobation of the Benefices Plurality Bill. They state, that there are five thousand

benefices now held in plurality, of which two-thirds are sufficient alone to maintain a clergyman; that the provision which prohibits the holding of livings in plurality which are distant more than ten miles from each other, will "leave the tremendous evil almost untouched," as of the livings at present held in plurality "nearly three thousand are within ten miles of each other, and above two thousand within five miles of each other."-Derbyshire Courier.

A meeting has recently been held at Exeter for the purpose of establishing a branch of the Additional Curates Society The bishop of the diocese related a gratifying exception to "liberal" hostility to the church in the conduct of Mr. J. W. Buller, the unsuccessful candidate for Exeter at the late election. In the course of the business, the bishop announced that Mr. Buller had come to him voluntarily, a long time since, and said, " I hold the great tithes of the parish of St. Thomas, (a populous parish adjoining Exeter.) I feel bound to act as the incumbent would be compelled to do by law, if he were the owner of the tithes and non-resident. I am bound by law but to pay a small salary; 1 will, however, put myself in the situation of a non-resident rector, and an additional salary of 150l. per year.' Salisbury Herald.

Carpendale, of Harwood Chapel, in the charged his duties of schoolmaster and 73rd year of his age, having faithfully disreader of the chapel since the year 1789, and, with equal usefulness and propriety, those of his sacred office since his ordination in the year 1808. His whole stipend,

which he received from the Duke of Cleveland, for the performance of his ministerial duties, was forty guineas a year. His has left in the hands of the bishop of the realized property, amounting to 2001, he diocese, the rector of the parish, and churchwarden of that part of the parish of Middleton in Teesdale, as trustees, to lay with it the foundation of an endowment for a perpetual successor to himself, that the inhabitants of that destitute part of the diocese may be constantly supplied from the church with a resident minister, and provided with a burial-ground, the distance of the burial place of the parish, from the chapel in Harwood, being ten miles. The name of George Carpenter, therefore, deserves to be had in perpetual remembrance, not only in the remote district in which his lot was cast, but as an example throughout the church.-Durham Adver.

A sermon in aid of the funds of the institution was preached by the Rev. John Lonsdale, B.D., and at the conclusion of the service the Lord Mayor presided at a dinner given at Merchant Tailors' Hall, and a handsome collection was made.-Times.

ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL.-The annual apposition, or distribution of prizes, took place on the 16th of May. The Duke of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishops of London and Winchester honoured the ceremony with their presence. Orations in praise of the founder, Dean Collett, the friend of Erasmus, and the first who introduced the Greek language into the scheme of education in this country, were delivered in Greek, Latin, and English, by Masters

Harriott, Hough, and Webb. Prizes were awarded for Greek trimeter iambic verses on the subject," Divus Paulus viperam excutit," to Master Harriott, and for Latin

KING'S COLLEGE.-On Saturday afternoon, April 28th, the annual meeting of the proprietors of King's College was held in the large lecture-room of that Institu tion; the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair.

Archdeacon Cambridge, the Marquis of Bute, Lord Bex. ley, Sir R. H. Inglis, &c. Mr. Smith, the secretary, read the Report, from which it appears that the number of students in each department at Christmas last were as follows:-Senior department, regular students, 116; medical ditto ditto, 60; junior ditto, pupils, 346. In addition to these, 143 students have attended particular courses of lectures, so that the entire number has amounted to 665. The Bishop of Chichester, in moving that the Report be received and adopted, said there was one part relative to which he felt it necessary to make a few observations. He alluded to that part which stated that there had been a trifling diminution in the number of the students. He did not think that ought to form a subject of regret to the proprietors, when he stated that the reason of it was, that Institutions founded on similar principles, and for the same object, as King's College, had recently been formed in different parts of the country, the necessary consequence of which must be, that the number of students applying for admission to King's College would be diminished. The secretary then read an account of the receipts and disbursements of the council during the past year, from which it appeared that the receipts were 16,828l. 16s. 10d.; and which, after deducting the expenditure, left a balance in the bankers' hands of 1,245l. 7s. 8d., exclusive of 1,000l. invested in exchequer bills.
