Rev. Canon Jenkins,- vicar -<>f "Aberdg/e* faftfr • -^cidled .resi^o^ia eohsisqtienta bf ill health. The Rev. Canon Falloon, who has given up the living of St Bride's, Liverpool, for the living of Ackworth, Yorkshire, was on Thursday presented, by his late con- gregation, with an address and £1,050. The chancellorship of Llandaff Cathedral, vacant by the death of the Rev. C. A. Morgan, has just been filled up by the appointment of the Rev. George Woods, M.A, of University College, Oxford, roctor of Sully, Cardiff. The Bishop of Meath, in his charge to the clergy of his diocese, said that the superiority of a regular Church system over a religious revival was that while the former was applicable in all cases, the latter depended for its efficacy upon the exciting effects of numbers. The Archbishop of York. speaking at a diocesan meet- ing, contrasted the readiness of the Nonconformists to erect temporary church buildings where needed with the tardiness of the Established Church in doing the same thing. He enjoined upon his hearers the propriety of making an effort by which no clergyman in the diocese would be in receipt of a salary under £150 per annum. The B:sbop of Ripon has been appealed to against the decision of the rector of Marsden, near Hucidersfield, refusing to allow the words" requiescat in pace to be cut on a tombstone in the churchyard. The bishop upholds the decision, and points out that the words really institute a prayer for the dead, which is against true Protestant belief, though quite in harmony with Roman Catholic doctrine. The Bishop of Chichester, speaking at Lewes, gave his opinion that surplices should be worn in the pulpit— the point having been raised by a clergyman in the archdeaconry. Some omitted a strroom when the Com- munion was admmistered. This was illegal; they should Curtail the hymns or shorten their sermons rather than entirely deprive the congregation of the benefit cf their counsel upon so solemn au occasion. A deputation from the Liberation SlJcietv-Mr R. W. Dale, of BirEMttghaffi, and Mr .)'. G. Rogers, of London— addressed a crowded meeting Ü" Liverpool on Tuesday Bight, and a resolution in fav<s<Cir of disestablishment was adopted. there was at fint a good deal of interruption, hut the most noisy of the disturbers were removed by the police, at the direction Sit the chairman, Mr W. S. Caine. The clergy of the ral deanery of Sutton, in the arch- deaconry of Maidststte, having discussed at length the subject of 1 unerai reform,' have resolved :—" That, in order to lessen tlws expense of funerals and to discourage unnecessary display, we recommend the discontinuance, as far as may be, of the custom of presenting the clergy with hatbands, scarves, and gloves." The Ely Archidiaconal Conference, held on Tues- day, at Bedford, was remarkable for a very animated debate on the Burials Bill, when the Dissenting view was put forward in a vigorous speech by a clergyman, who inducsd eleven members of the conference, including Lord Charles Russell, to vote with him. Two important statements were made, one by a clergyman in whose churchyard there is an unconiecrated portion set apart I for Dissenters within the wall, where during his incum- bency of five years there has not been a single burial; and another by the Bishop of Ely, who said that numbers of the clergy would givc willingly portions tif their glebes for Nonconformist burial grounds, if a short act was passed enabling them so to do.
