from the report of their proceedings for the last year:-"The committee have great cause to express their thankfulness that the diffusion of the word of God, by the means of this society, continues steadily advancing. The number of books and tracts issued from the depository since the last report, amounts to 2,524-namely, 226 Bibles, 158 Testaments, 176 Books of Common Prayer, and 1,964 other books and tracts, being a much larger number of Bibles and Testaments than has been issued before, in any one year, since the formation of the committee."

NEW NATIONAL SCHOOL ROOM, BowLING. A very commodious and handsome Gothic edifice has been erected, chiefly at the expense of the Bowling Iron Company, upon the Wakefield road, nearly opposite their works, and about a mile from the town of Bradford. For a year past, a Sunday school has been collecting whilst the building at Church-hill was in progress, and which now numbers 400 children. The Lord Bishop of Ripon having granted license for divine service to be held in this building, the first instance of its celebration took place on Monday afternoon, on which occasion, after a sermon from the Rev. James Bardsley, curate of Bierley, a collection was made towards the expense of the fittings, benches, desks, &c. On Tuesday afternoon, a general meeting of all the Sunday-school teachers of the Bierley Chapel schools, and of those in the proposed district of St. James's church, was held at Church-bill school room, and after partaking of tea, an address of thanks was voted most unanimously and heartily, to the Bowling Company, and to J. G. Paley, Esq., in particular, who, in addition to the company's liberality, had freely granted a site upon his own estate for the building. A deputation then waited upon Mr. Paley, who kindly expressed his hearty wishes for the prosperity of the institution, and promised to acquaint the company with the grateful acknowledgments of the meeting, which consisted of nearly 300 persons, most of whom were residents in the township and neighbourhood. In the address an earnest hope was expressed that all wealthy employers of the working classes

in the neighbourhood would follow so good an example. The Bradford Church Education Society, whenever it may commence its useful labours, will afford to all employers, whether more or less affluent, an excellent opportunity of imparting religious instruction to the families of their workmen. The archbishop of the province and the bishop of the diocese have already sent, by way of good example, liberal donations to this society.-Leeds Mercury.

NEW CHURCH.-On Friday, the 6th April, the foundation stone of the District Church of Christ Church, Lothersdale, in the parish of Carlton, was laid, in the presence of a numerous assembly, by the Rev. John Pering, M. A., vicar of Kildwick, on which occasion the address was given by the Rev. J. A. Busfield, D.D. The site of this church, consisting of an acre of ground, is liberally given by the Earl of Burlington, and the Rev. Walter Lavett, M.A., vicar of Carlton, has endowed it with the munificent sum of 1000/.

A meeting of the inhabitants of Wetherby was lately held, to consider whether the present chapel of ease in that town should be repaired or a new one built; the latter course having been agreed upon, a subscription was set on foot, and in the space of half an hour nearly 1,0001, were collected. Wetherby is by no means a large town. York Herald.

The sum of 1,5001, bas already been subscribed towards the erection of a new church at the top of Victoria-street, White Abbey, Bradford.-Halifax Guardian.

SCOTLAND.

The Queen has been pleased to appoint Lord Belhaven to be her Majesty's high commissioner to the General Assembly of the church of Scotland.

The Duke of Richmond, chancellor of Marischal College and University, has declined giving any decision in regard to the last election of a lord rector, against which, as declared in favour of Lord Brougham, an appeal was transmitted to his grace, signed by 108 of those students who were supporters of Lord Lyndburst and Mr. Colquhoun.-Aberdeen Jounal.

"Mr. Perceval," " F. O.," and "Clericus Felix" on Attendance at Balls, will be given in the next Number.

"W. W. S." is informed that there can be no doubt that D. N. D. Papa, represent the words Dominus Noster, Dominus Papa; that the form is frequently fully given, and that it is quite in unison with the forms of low Latin, Italian, French, and even earlier English, where the complimentary title was often repeated, as “ To my Lord's Grace, the Lord Archbishop," &c. &c. It is perhaps worth noticing, that Mr. Southey, whose authority is so great, charges the commentators only with giving the pope the blasphemous appellation of our Lord God. His note, perhaps, should be transcribed, "Foulis' Hist. of Popish Treasons, &c, p. 29. Extra. Joh. xxii., Tit. xiv., de verborum significat, cap. iv., cum inter non nullos, Gloss. sect. Declaramus, prope finem. The reader who refers to Foulis, will see why he has been thus minute in his quotations. The passage is found in ten editions of the canons which he had examined, four of them published after Gregory XIII. had corrected the canon law."-Book of the Church, chap. x., at the end.

"The Church," a weekly paper, published at Cobourg, in Upper Canada, ought to be recommended to those interested in the church affairs of that country, as being under excellent direction and authority. The Editor of the "British Magazine" would be truly obliged to any clergyman in Canada, and in any other of our colonies, who has the means of knowing what it is important should be stated and circulated in this country, and who would briefly state it in the compass of a common letter to the Editor, which would not cost the writer much time, and could always be given in the Magazine. It is impossible at a distance either always to know what is most important or to give the time necessary for abridging paragraphs from newspapers arriving from different quarters, and full of local matters.

"J. M.," on Flacius Illyricus, is received. Will he not allow the Editor to give his valuable name in full?

In answer to the following note,—“ Sir, I hope, for the credit of the clergy, you will undertake to answer the very weak arguments with which a weak advocate attempts to defend the practice of clergymen's attending balls. I am, Sir, yours truly, A Subscriber from the First Number of your Magazine," the Editor would be exceedingly glad if the writer would himself answer either the letter in question or any other letter which may seem to him deserving of animadversion, and, if the arguments are weak, expose them.
