church-rate for the repairs of the church. He said it was the duty of the parishioners to uphold that form of worship which was conformable to the most numerous class of the people; and he observed, that if none but those belonging to the church were called upon to pay for its support, that building ceased then to belong to the public, and was private property.

CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY IN YORK CATHEDRAL.-On Thursday, the 16th of November, a convocation of the bishops, archdeacons, and proctors of the clergy, in the metropolitan province of York, convened under the mandate of the archbishop, was held in the chapter-house of York cathedral. Such a meeting has not been held during the last century. In proceeding to business, Archdeacon Headlam proposed that the clergy in convocation should present a loyal and dutiful address to her Majesty, on her accession to the throne.

The Archbishop's commissioner (the Rev. C. Hawkins, Canon Residentiary) :— Not being in possession of the Queen's writ, we cannot proceed to business.

Archdeacon Thorpe (Durham) seconded the motion. He trusted that they were not brought together for mockery and derision, but for council and deliberation; and therefore he maintained the right of the clergy in convocation to address or petition their Sovereign.

The Commissioner refused to put the motion, when the Rev. W. Barnes, vicar of Richmond, said they had been summoned by the archbishop to meet to discuss measures for the security and defence of the church, and to give their votes and advice in favour of those things which appeared conducive to that object, and to dissent from those things which would militate against the church, or the public weal. He hoped that they would proceed to business.

Dr. Besly moved that the rejection of the address be recorded on the minutes, which was seconded by the Rev. G. Townsend, but the president declined putting

this motion also.

Petitions were then presented to the Archbishop, praying that he would intercede with the Queen, that she might issue a licence, in order that the convocation might deliberate and advise upon all matters affecting the spiritual interests, rights, privileges, and immunities, of the united church of England and Ireland, which might be mooted in parliament.

The convocation then closed, after which the members repaired to the Minster Library, and the Venerable Archdeacon

Headlam was unanimously called upon to preside.

An address and a petition to the Queen were then agreed upon, having been proposed and seconded, respectively, by Archdeacon Thorpe and the Rev. J. Dodd, and by Dr. Besly and Mr. Townsend.

The petition having been signed, it was resolved that it should be sent to the Archbishop of York for presentation to her Majesty; and after passing a vote of thanks to Archdeacon Headlam, for his able conduct in the chair, the meeting separated.

It will be observed that this account of the proceedings is imperfect, as there is no space to print the petitions.

SCOTLAND.

RE-ELECTION OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR R. PEEL, BART., M.P., AS LORD RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW.-(From the Glasgow Constitutional, Wednesday, Nov. 15.) This being the statutory day for the election of the Lord Rector of the University, the Comitia assembled in the Common-hall at 10 o'clock. The Rev. William Fleming, D.D., Vice-Rector, having opened the proceedings with a Latin prayer, Professor Meiklebam read the laws of election. The business proceeded more solito, and the result of the election was announced by Professor Meikleham. On the return of the different nations, the following announcement was made from the rostrum of the Great Hall by Mr. John Boyle (son of the Lord Justice Clerk):-"Quod felix faustumque sit.-Apud Collegium Glasguense, die decimo quinto mensis Novembris, anno millesimo octingentesimo tricesimo septimo, vir Admodum Honorabilis Robertus Peel, Eques Baronetus, suffragiis omnium nationum electus est Rector Magnificus hujus Universitatis in annum sequentem, -Plaudite!" Sir Robert Peel has thus been re-elected Lord Rector by a majority in all the nations. Lord John Russell, Sir John Campbell, and Dan. O'Connell, were put in nomination by the whig-radical faction; but, notwithstanding all their pri vate canvassing and revolutionary spirit, they could only muster 44 votes out of 1,200 students. After three hearty cheers for Sir Robert Peel, and the Peel Club, the meeting broke up.

The foundation.stone of the new buildings of Marischal College, Aberdeen, was laid, on the 25th of October, by the Duke of Richmond, and, besides the principals of the college, the following noblemen were present at the ceremony :-The Earl of Aberdeen, Earl Bathurst, Lord Saltoun, Lord Cunningham, Hon. Captain Gordon,

M.P.; Sir Michael Bruce, Bart., Mr. Bannerman, M.P., Sir A. Leith, Sir Thomas Burnett, Sir John Forbes, Col. Farquharson, &c. A grand banquet was given in the evening at the County-rooms, when the Duke of Richmond presided.

IRELAND.

(From a Correspondent.)—The following paragraph was copied into the British Magazine (October 1837, p. 477,) from an Irish newspaper :

"TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN.-It is resolved by the fellows of Trinity College to erect an extensive chapel in the square facing the entrance. This is become quite necessary from the increased number of protestant students; and already a part of the square has been thrown down, so that new buildings will commence forthwith. The junior fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, now derive a salary of 8001. from the funds, instead of being individually paid by the students who entered under them, these perquisites being now conveyed to the general treasury of the establishment."

These statements are erroneous; the building about to be erected in Trinity College is not a chapel, but a museum and schools, with lecture rooms. The number of students has not increased of late, but, owing to the state of property in Ireland, bas, if anything, diminished, and the income of a junior fellow has also decreased, not only in consequence of the decrease in

the number of students, but also because the number of fellow commoners has been lately diminished, the gentry of Ireland being now content to enter their sons in the rank of pensioners. No such arrangement as that described in the last sentence of the foregoing paragraph has been adopted. The income of a junior fellow depends altogether on the number of students in the college, and the fees paid by each student for tuition have not been "conveyed into the general treasury of the establishment," but belong entirely to the tutors.

THE IRISH CHURCH.-The primate, in a circular to the other bishops, has re. quested returns to the following queries from each of the parochial clergy, his Grace being of opinion that accurate information on these points may be of great importance to their interests :-" 1. What is the name of your benefice? 2. The gross amount of composition? 3. Gross amount payable by landlords? 4. How much of the above amount is paid without law proceedings? 5. Gross amount payable by occupiers? 6. How much of the above amount is paid without law proceedings? 7. How many schools are there in your parish under your superintendence? 8. State the number of children attending these schools. 9. State the supposed number of children of the lower orders in your parish of suitable age for school."

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The following have been received :—“ Ka@oλukoç," (on the 5th November Services), "Silur," " M.," (on the Ember Weeks) " E. S.," "A Country Curate," "Clericus," Norfolciensis," "Amicus Ecclesiæ," "Catholicus Anglicanus,"

"G. C. S." and "D. P."

Many thanks for the abstract of " Pietas Londinensis."

"C. J. H." shall hear from the Editor before long.

Other letters and papers have been received, besides that of "Silur," relative to the Custom of Wakes, or Fairs, which appears to be exciting much attention just now, especially in the County of Hereford. They shall receive due attention as soon as possible.

The letter on " Altar and Sacrifice" has been unavoidably postponed.

A correspondent informs the Editor, that he has before him a copy of the "Treatise of Christian Consolations," which is there ascribed to Bishop Hacket, as it is also in "Bromley's Engraved Portraits."

Will "H. V. B." look into Events?

If the angry correspondent from Bradford will look into Events, he will see that his suggestion, as to a reference for information, has been complied with. When persons are very angry, it is of little use to reason with them; but it may be well to state to him, that the Editor does not collect the Events himself, but that he exercises such general superintendence and supervision of them as time will allow. He cannot, of course, always know the character of a paper from which an extract is given. In the present instance the transaction was public, and publicly stated in a newspaper; and as it was traced to temporary alienation of mind, a part of the scandal it might have caused was obviated. Its appearance in this Magazine has drawn forth another account, written in a better spirit, and more authentic. Had the angry person, who does not give his name, sent such an account at first, it would have been gladly printed; but it is impossible that any one person can know the exact circumstances of all events that take place everywhere. It may however, be, confidently stated, that it is the general practice of this Magazine to exclude, where it is practicable, all statements offensive to individuals; and its whole course may be appealed to in confirmation of the statement. If this gentleman would undertake the management of a Magazine for a single month, he would, perhaps, learn to be a little more reasonable in his expectations, something less harsh in his judgments, and rather more charitable in his expression of them. The very best thanks of all parties are, however, due to the correspondent who has kindly furnished the account now given.

"Monitor" must be under some strange mistake. He either cannot understand a plain statement, or he writes from memory, which is an inconvenient practice, when one begins to reprove others. The Magazine did not promise an additional quantity of letter-press, in consequence of giving up the plates of Parish Churches, with articles relative to matters of interest in those parishes. What was promised was, that the money expended upon engravings should, for the future, be expended in procuring more Revites. "Monitor" will see that the department of Reviews has been increased. He forgets, also, the statement, that this (the "Parish Churches") was the only department of the Magazine in which the Editor was dis appointed of a sufficient supply of matter. At the same time, he will be very glad to give insertion to such articles, from time to time, if supplied by those who are able to render them interesting. They are so to himself; and he regrets, as much as" Monitor," the necessity of discontinuing them.

ERRATA.
