ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. On Saturday, October 31st, the Vice Chancellor, Heads of houses, &c., with deputation from the University, arrived at Northumberland house, Charing Cross, about twelve o'clock in procession, preceded by the Esquire Bedells, with their maces of office, and by the servants of the University bearing the book of statutes, and the instruments of admission. The procession moved through the marble hall and tapestry room to the great gallery, at the end of which a dais was erected, having a chair of estate, in which the Vice Chancellor took his seat covered, till it being notified to him, that the Chancellor elect was approaching, in his robes of office, with his attendant train bearer, he rose from his seat and proceeded along the gallery to the door of entrance, where he received the Chancellor elect, and conducted him to the dais. The Vice Chancellor stood at the right hand of the chair, and then made a short introductory speech, which was followed by reading the formal instrument of admission by the Proctor, by the adminstration of the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, and finally by a Latin speech by the public Orator. His grace, dressed in a magnificently embroidered state dress, and wearing the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and the badge of the Order of St. Patrick, then pronounced a short speech, with which the ceremony concluded. The party then left the gallery, in nearly the same order as they had entered, and adjourned to the great dining room, where they partook of an elegant refreshment. The election of a High Steward, for the university, commenced, in the Senate House, on Wednesday, the 11th November, and the polling continued every day till Friday the 13th, when the contest terminated in the election of Lord Lyndhurst, by a majority of 486.

THE CHURCH We understand that there is every probability of St. Paul's chapel of this place being united with the Episcopal Church of Scotland. This desirable consummation will bring a wealthy and respectable congregation under the charge of the bishop of Aberdeen. At a meeting, on Wednesday, of the constituent members of the Chapel, the proposal of an union was brought forward, and warmly supported by most of the influential members of the Chapel. Some objections were started, but these were considered as unimportant, and a committee was finally appointed to confer with the Right Reverend the Bishop IN SCOTLAND. of the Diocese, on the terms of union. It is to be hoped that the example of this intelligent congregation will be followed by those of the Independent Chapels in Montrose and Perth, and that the whole Episcopalians in Scotland will soon become united in one body. - Aberdeen Constitutional. These are independent chapels in which the liturgy is used, and who have long pretended to make part of the church of England, although no bishop in England has ever acknowledged them, or exercised any jurisdiction over them.Ed. Ep. Mag. ་་ MISCELLANEOUS. FAILURE OF SCOTTISH CHURCH ExTENSION. We understand that an application was lately made by the Church extension Committee of the General Assembly to the minister and kirk session of Coldstream, for a collection in the parish church, in aid of the church extension fund. It was, however, unanimously thought by the session, that, considering the opinion prevalent in the parish and neighbourhood, of the position which the Church of Scotland has assumed, of defiance to the law and courts of justice, any attempt to obtain a collection in the parish of Coldstream would be nearly ineffectual; and an answer to this effect has been, or is to be, returned to the General Assembly's Committee. This is not the first instance we have heard of, showing how the Established Church of Scotland has crippled its resources and is losing its influence throughout the coun try, from the unfortunate contest in which a majority of its clergy have involved it, We much fear that as long as the General Assembly continues in its present course, there will be on the part of all classes every where, a disinclination to increase the influence of a clergy, who are not only showing an example of rebellion, and sowing the seeds of discord and dissension through the land, but are too certainly undermining the Establishment itself. Berwick Warder. This fund has been diverted from its legitimate object, to advance the schemes of the clerical agitators.-Ed. Ep. Mag. We have great pleasure in drawing the attention of our clerical friends to Mr. Darling's (Little Queen Street) Circulating Library of Theological aud other Works. For a small annual subscription they may obtain the loan of the best works in divinity, history, general literature, &c. END OF VOL. II. Clarke, Printers, Silver Street, Falcon Square, London. |
