UNIVERSITY, ECCLESIASTICAL, AND PAROCHIAL INTELLIGENCE. CLAPTON CHURCH.—Two handsome windows of the perpendicular style of architecture, in the very interesting church of this retired parish, which had been for many years blocked up and in a ruinous state, have lately been re-opened, and their dilapidated mullions restored by the kind liberality of J. A. Gordon, Esq. M. P. of Naish House, the lord of the manor. We understand it to be the intention of the same gentleman shortly to repair the manorial chapel adjoining the nave of the church, and in some measure to restore it to the original state of beauty which it exhibited under the Arthurs and their descendants in the female line, the Winters, who for so many generations, from the reign of King Stephen, in 1140, to that of James II. in 1685, had their manorial pew therein. Sir T. D. and Lady Acland have subscribed 2001. towards re-seating Broadclist church. The inhabitants of Heavitree have resolved on rebuilding the parish church, in a manner capable of accommodating 2000 perons. Rev. WILLIAM FOWLEY. - The Rev. William Fowley lately took leave of his congregation at St. Mary's Chapel, Speenhamland, on his removal from Speen to the perpetual curacy of Starcross, near Dawlish, Devonshire. The worth of this respected indi. vidual may be estimated by the fact, that between 701. and 801. were subscribed for the purpose of presenting him with a testimonial of their affection. This testimonial was accompanied by an appropriate address. Rev. ALFRED LAWRENCE.- At the tithe audit of the Rev. Alfred Lawrence, of Sandhurst, held at the Swan Inn on the 6th of November, the sum of 501. was unanimously voted and presented to the Rev. Gentleman over and above the composition for the tithes of that place, in consideration of the very propitious season in the growth of hops, and the very high estimation in which he is held by his parishioners. ELIGIBILITY OF DISSENTING MINISTERS TO VOTE UNDER THE REFORM ACT.The following is the decision of the Revising Barristers for the Southern Division of Derby : “ Looking to the decisions of the Committees of the House of Commons, the tribunal before which alone these claims can ultimately come for final judgment,decisions pronounced in cases, one of which was as strong as, if not stronger than, the strongest of those before the Court, and pronounced moreover after a most elaborate review, by able counsel, of all the cases on the subject, we feel ourselves compelled to declare, that with the strongest desire to see these gentlemen in the full enjoyment of the franchise to which they are so well entitled in every other respect, we cannot bring our minds to doubt that, as between them and their congregation, (and the question necessarily involves that point,) they only hold appointments during pleasure ; and consequently, as between them and the public, they are not entitled to have their names retained on the lists of voters, in respect of the interest they possess in virtue of their respective offices." Bishop of GLOUCESTER.— The Bishop of Gloucester is attempting, with every prospect of success, to establish a society in that city, for finding employment for the poor, and thereby enabling them to keep themselves from the necessity of applying for parochial relief. EARL ELDON.- The church at Kingston, in the Isle of Purbeck, requiring extensive repairs, has, with its tower, been entirely pulled down, and is now being rebuilt in a most substantial manner, and in a beautiful style of gothic architecture, at the sole expense of the venerable Earl of Eldon. Christmas.—The practice of embellishing and ornamenting churches at this great festival is explained by Dr. Stukely. He observes, that the ancients expected our Saviour was to be born at the winter solstice, and that the great Advent was to happen when evergreens flourish. “The glory of Lebanou, (the cedar) shall come unto thee, the fir-tree, the pine-tree, and the box-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary." Isaiah Ix. 13. Many passages to the same purport occur in the Old Testament. ORDINATIONS.—1832. Exeter ........ Oct. 28. | Llandaff Oct. 14. | Rochester ...... Nov. 4. Lich, and Cov...
