ATTEMPT TO MURDER A CLERGYMAN. Friday night, as the Rev. William Adamson was returning from this city to Loughill, near Shanagolden, a ruffian struck him a severe blow of a heavy stone upon the head, which cut the unoffending gentleman through the hat, and left him in a state of insensibility upon the road. He bled profusely, from the wound, and was ultimately conveyed to the Rev. G. Vincent's seat at Shanagolden. No cause can be assigned for this atrocious outrage on the Rev. Mr. Adamson, and the perpetrator escaped across the fields under darkness of the night.-Limerick Chron. ·

At a meeting of the Clergy of Limerick, held in the Chapter-room of the Catbedral, on Saturday last, it was unanimously resolved, that addresses should be presented to his Majesty and both Houses of Parliament, against any further interference by the legislature with the property

of the church.

A subscription has been set on foot amongst the clergy of the united dioceses of Ferns and Leighlin, to erect a monument, in the Cathedral of Ferns, to the memory of the late bishop. The subscription of beneficed clergymen are limited to 1. 10s., those of unbeneficed to 1. Already several sums have been paid to the treasurer, Rev. Thomas Moore. The Bishop of Meath has subscribed

ten guineas towards building a second Presbyterian meeting-house in Derry.

THE NEW IRISH TITHE BILL.-Of the clergymen who have been induced to affix their signatures to the memorial, it is said that only eighteen have any interest in tithes.

BRIDGE-TOWN, JAN. 9, 1836. -We have great gratification in placing before

our readers the Address of the Lord

Bishop to the company assembled at St. Peter's, on the 31st of Dec., at the ceremony of laving the first stone of their new Church. On that interesting occasion, the respectable; and the whole ceremony was company was very numerous and highly conducted with the greatest order, and with that respectful attention which was due to our respected prelate, and to the solemnity of the purpose for which the inhabitants of Speight's Town and its vicinity were assembled. A procession was formed of the clergy, and of the inhabitants of the parish, of both sexes,amongst whom were the Hon. Sir Reynold A. Alleyne, and his lady, returned from England,-to the spot marked out for the reception of the corner stone, which was laid with the utmost solemnities.-Barbadian.

The Address will appear in our next Number.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

THE "Record" newspaper has chosen to take up the controversy about Milner, and to publish a letter from an anonymous correspondent attacking this Magazine, and earnestly recommending all persons who wish to do justice to Milner, to read both Mr. Maitland and Mr. King's pamphlets. Nothing can possibly be more disinterested and fair than such a recommendation from a friend of Milner, and the "British Magazine" most affectionately joins its anonymous assailant in this recommendation. To establish Milner's exceeding unfitness to be a church historian, nothing more is wanted than investigation. With respect to the "Record" itself, its reproaches can give no pain to those who, like the writer, are convinced that its whole temper is essentially anti-christian, and its whole tendency-if not its objectto exasperate differences and inflame men, not against each other's errors, but against each other. It is quite welcome, on all occasions, to say what it will of one who does not fear its rancour, and has no regard for its opinions. In his judgment, it has not done wisely in venturing on the Milner controversy. The other periodicals on Milner's side of the question have very prudently preserved as long a silence as they could, for the best reasons. times, however, a show of courage prevails; or, again, the writer in the Record" may really believe in Milner's extraordinary qualifications. There is no telling.

"J. B." will, doubtless, get the information he wants by writing (post paid) to C. Hodgson, Esq., Bounty Board, Dean's-yard, London.

The account of the Coventry Society shall be given in the next Number.

The Editor begs to recommend "Hele's Select Offices of Devotion," "Bishop Andrews's Prayers," and Jeremy Taylor's "Golden Grove," to A Daughter of the Church."

No doubt can be entertained of the good intentions of S.;" but let him consider calmly and seriously, as a religious man, whether one whose education has not been such as to enable him to avoid gross faults, both in spelling and grammar, can be properly qualified to act as censor on a large body. It may be very true, that he may see what he does not approve it may be true that it deserves disapprobation; but (the question is not asked either as a sneer or as a mere evasion of his remarks) would he not be doing what would be more advisable and suitable, to be looking to himself? The undertaking to reprove others is always a fearful task. Every serious minister of God's word must feel it to be so, though it is his duty to do it, and to make himself qualified for the task. But should a Christian voluntarily undertake that task, undertake it, though not having had the means of qualifying himself for it, nay, undertake the task of censuring those from whom, whatever may be their faults, he is to receive the ordinances of God?

The Editor thinks every letter from "T. K. A." a great favour. But if he has seen the second reply of Mr. Whewell to the " Quarterly Review," he will perhaps think that the matter cannot rest better than where it is.

"V. G. M.'s" letter shall be given, if possible, in the next Number. The subject deserves discussion. But perhaps V. G. M.," on consideration, may see points on which his argument is weak. Would a clergyman, according to his notions, be justified in accepting an advowson as his share of his father's property, and then in presenting himself to the living? This case should be considered.

The following shall be used as soon as possible :-" L. W.," "J. C. Prosser," "Burgovallensis," and "Mr. Clarke."

A correspondent wishes some one to point out what are the causes which predispose the country to the reception of Popery at present.

"Philo-Melmoth" seems not to be aware that the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has already gone beyond his wishes about competition. It is just about to become its own bookseller. It remains to be seen whether the plan will answer, or whether the ancient plan, of which "Philo-Melmoth" so much disapproves, was not the safer and better

one.

Many thanks for the notice of the shameful book respecting Coleridge. It shall be used in the next number.

A "Dublin Evening Paper" has just been received, containing the protest against the famous memorial, signed by 16 deans, 27 archdeacons, 78 prebendaries, 342 beneficed clergy, and 165 curates. Additional names are to be advertised next week.

Several very obliging communications cannot be noticed for want of space. It is right to mention, that some of "R. W. B.'s" valuable collections about the British School Society, and "W. P.'s" account of the Home Missionary Society, are in type.

The Editor has just received a copy of the Registration Bill, which seems a little at variance with the account from the Cambridge Chronicle." The clergy are to keep double registers in some cases, and send copies four times a year.
