in the parish of Knaresborough, 2007.; Scissett, in the parishes of High Hoyland and Elmley, 2001.; Lofthouse-cum-Carlton, in the parish of Rothwell, 1007., in augmentation of a former grant of 2001. made by the society. The committee approved a grant of 2001, being made towards purchasing a parsonage-house at Wilsdencum-Allerton, in the parish of Bradford, but no local funds having been raised in aid of this object, the application was referred to the next meeting of the central committee, in pursuance of the 16th rule of the society. Some other matters in detail being disposed of, the thanks of the meeting to the Lord Bishop for his kindness in attending and presiding upon that occasion, were then moved by the Venerable Archdeacon Headlam, seconded by the Rev. Robert Meek, and passed unanimously, after which the committee departed. The next meeting of the central committee will be held at Leeds, at a time to be fixed by the bishop.

THE Editor is extremely sorry that, owing to his having been obliged to write the Notices to Correspondents for the preceding month under circumstances of peculiar haste and inconvenience, some things were omitted which he intended to say, and some communications were not acknowledged. In particular, he meant to have assured G. W. that he did (and he thinks very naturally) write under the misapprehension which he supposes. He most fully gives G. W. credit for the wish and intention to correct his error, though he was mistaken as to the fact of its being possible, (for if he had written immediately, he would perhaps have been the first-certainly not more than the second-to point it out;) and under the other personal circumstances to which he alludes, it might be very pardonably neglected. Still there are so many persons, and even among those whose professed principles should lead to different conduct, who would not think of acknowledging an error or misstatement, that the Editor does not feel that he has been very uncharitable in allowing the language of a correspondent still altogether unknown to lead him into a belief that he had met with one of them. J. B. seems not to have observed that the collect for the Sunday after Christmasday is the collect for the Nativity. Received: A Churchman-An Opponent of the Oxford Tracts-Clericus Riponensis—B. A.—M.-Spectator-R. P.-N. Z.-Mr. Winning-H. C.-R. A. H.— S. H. S.-(to whom the Editor has repeatedly failed to express the obligation which he really feels)—D. B.—Mr. Lacy—Philo—T. H. C. The Editor is much obliged by Mr. Simpson's hint, which shall be attended to. Also to W. L. N. for information, of which he hopes to make use. He has reason to believe that the statement is true; and yet, in its present form, it would probably convey a wrong idea to many readers of this Magazine. The Editor does not think that the papers on Klopstock's Messiah would suit the Magazine. They are at Messrs. Rivingtons', No. 3, Waterloo Place, directed to the author. "A Catholic Priest's" queries should have been inserted in the previous Number, had it been possible; but how could be imagine that a letter written by him in the country on the 28th could be in time to be even acknowledged in the next Number? It did not reach the Editor till he had returned even the proof of the Notices to Correspondents. The questions are-"Supposing the officiating priest to preach in his surplice, and immediately after the doxology to descend to the altar, and there to begin The Offertory' by reading the sentences (or some of them) and, intending to administer the Eucharist, to proceed with the service according to the rubric; at what part of the service are those who do not intend to communicate to leave the church? And how are they to be informed thereof?-Secondly, supposing a person to have a daily sacrifice of prayers and thanksgiving in his church, at what times ought be to commence both morning and evening?" The Editor wishes that he could give J. S. any information as to the question whether the absence of the word "may" in the general thanksgiving is accidental or intended. Perhaps some correspondent who can conveniently examine a sealed copy of the Prayer-book will be so good as to communicate the result. The Editor is told that the question was discussed in the “Christian Observer" some ten or twelve years ago. The Editor is not sufficiently acquainted with the discipline of the kirk of Scotland to answer C. B.'s question. He thinks it probable that the minister has in the first instance a right to give or withhold at his discretion, but presumes that there must be some appeal. He is sorry that he does not know where to obtain information. He is obliged to a friend for a pamphlet containing "a statement" of some "recent proceedings." It is very curious; and it would be well if it were abridged into a mere statement of facts, for at present it is too long for general circulation; and indeed a great part of the comment, though very good and very true, consists of matter so obvious that it might be spared. All communications for the EDITOR should in future be addressed to the Office of the British Magazine, No. 13, HENRIETTA STREET, STRAND. INDEX TO VOL. XVIII.
