His lordship briefly returned thanks, expressing his sense of the importance and usefulness of the society, and the sincere satisfaction he always experienced at every fresh opportunity which offered to further its objects; after which, the meeting separated.-Hull Packet.

ST. JAMES'S, CRUDEN. DIOCESE OF ABERDEEN.(From a Correspondent.)The old church is in so dilapidated a state, that the clergyman and managers have found it necessary to adopt measures for having it taken down and rebuilt. The present church was built only about eighty years ago; but an ill-constructed roof, and not very well cemented walls, have combined to reduce the edifice to an extremely dangerous state. The internal arrangement betrays bad taste and slight acquaintance with ecclesiastical architecture. The church is seated for 460: the extent of the congregation is such that the new church must contain at least a like number. The clergyman and managers, "whilst anxious that the proposed edifice should possess the character and appearance of a temple dedicated to God, are, at the same time, resolved to pay due attention to plainness in the structure and economy in the expenditure. It is calculated that not less than 750l. will be required for the work." To meet this expense, the members of the congregation, chiefly inhabitants of three fishing villages-the rest, with few exceptions, being small farmers and crofters have been able to contribute only 1167. The Earl of Erroll, who is the patron, has given 501., and the Countess, 25l. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has given a grant of 100l.; the Church Society in Scotland, which is yet only in its infancy, bas granted 601.; Dr. Anderson's

trustees, who have an estate in the parish, have liberally subscribed 301.; and several of the other proprietors in the parish have promised to subscribe lesser sums. But so large a proportion of the estimated expense is still wanting, that the Rev. J. B. Pratt, the clergyman, expresses very great fears that he will be unable to raise the necessary funds, unless the friends of the church, south of the Tweed, generously lend their aid to assist him. Some have thought that the Scottish clergy do not exert themselves sufficiently to rouse the landed proprietors, who, for the most part, are members of the church, to a proper sense of their duty in regard to lending aid to such pious purposes; and are apt to blame them for too frequently having recourse to the friends of the church in England, whilst it is supposed they do little among the wealthy at home. It may be well to rectify this mistake, which originates in ignorance of the true state of matters in Scotland. Although a great proportion of the Scottish nobility and gentry are members of the church, yet they live more in England than at home. Their money is spent in England, and their children are educated there. They may be said to be more closely connected with the church in England than with the church in Scotland; and hence it may be that they think less of the wants of the church in their own country. But these circumstances, if allowed their due weight, will account for the fact that the Scottish clergy have, in many cases, so little influence with those who have property in Scotland, but whose visits to their native country may not exceed a few months, or weeks, or, it may be, days, perhaps once a year; perhaps only once every second or third year.

And the same circumstances are sufficient to account for the frequent appeals that Scottish churchmen feel themselves under the necessity of making to their English brethren. Nor can they be blamed for this. Their case is surely such as deserves aid; for if Scotland be, in a great measure, deprived of the influence of her nobility and richer gentry, her ancient church has a strong claim on England which has so many of her noble and wealthy members amongst us. And it is a principle to which every good churchman will adhere, that, "Whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it." Mr. Pratt intends, if he can possibly accomplish it, to erect an edifice which, although necessarily plain, will be constructed in every respect in a purely ecclesiastical style, so that those who worship within its courts may see in every part of the house of God something to remind them that they are the disciples of Christ, and pilgrims on their way, under the divine guidance, to the holiest place of all-even heaven itself, where

their Saviour and their Gol is for ever present.

THE EPISCOPAL COLLEGE AT PERTH.The following is a list of the larger subscriptions, given in order as they were made; and a munificent list all must allow it to be Mr. Gladstone, sen., 1000l.; Bishop of Ross and Argyle, 1000l.; Duke of Buccleuch, 1000/.; Marquis of Lothian, 500l.; Mr. W. E. Gladstone, 500l. To these are to be added a great many smaller subscriptions, varying from 51. to 100l.

Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., has been unanimously elected Lord Rector of Aberdeen University by the Senatus Academicus of that seat of learning.

IRELAND.

There is some probability, if the clergy are now active, that they will get the 100,000l. so long withheld from them by the late government; 40,000l. of it has been repaid by the ecclesiastical commissioners, to whom it was lent, and now is deposited in the Bank of Ireland. The clergy have been paid only 30 per cent. on the arrears, out of which Lord Melbourne promised that they should have 70 per cent. It is better late than never that tardy justice should be done to them.-Limerick Chron.

COLONIAL.

A new college is about to be established at Sherbrook, Lower Canada, to be called "The Diocesan College of Canada East." The bishop of the diocese to be president ex-officio, and the appointment to professorships to be invested in the bishop and trustees.

TORONTO. On Thursday, the 19th of September, the Lord Bishop of Toronto held his primary visitation. The Rev.

Henry Patton, rector of Kemptville, read the prayers; the Rev. Wm. McMurray, rector of Ancaster and Dundas, read the lessons; and the Rev. A. N. Bethune, rector of Cobourg and one of the bishop's chaplains, preached the sermon. The bishop then took his seat within the rails of the altar, and the names of the clergy having been called, his lordship delivered his charge, adverting in it to every prominent topic affecting the church-to its rise and growth in this province-its position with reference to sectarians-its temporalities-its wants, and the best means of supplying them-the duties of the clergy in administering the sacraments and catechising and educating youth, &c. &c. After the conclusion of the charge, the clergy remained behind, and received the holy sacrament at the hands of the bishop, who was assisted in the performance of this duty by the Arcdeacon of Kingston, the Rev. A. N. Bethune, and the Rev. H. J. Grasett. Soon after the administration of this solemn ordinance, the clergy presented an address, to which his lordship returned a most affectionate answer. It was a day that must ever be memorable in the annals of the Canadian church, and that will long be reverted to by the pious and reflecting churchman with a sensation of gratitude and hopefulness. In the year 1812, the first Bishop of Quebec met only five clergymen at a visitation which he held for the province of Upper Canada. In 1841, the same space of territory is apportioned into a separate diocese, and out of ninety officiating clergymen, including one archdeacon, the bishop finds sixty-four assembled at his primary visitation, the remainder having been excused from attending on account of their great distance and the heavy expense attendant upon travelling.
