 IIH n of the Irigli C'hurcli hud avuilvd themsi-h \-s 

 of the provisions for run, mutation embodied 

 in the Irish Church act, leaving only M.I who 

 had not conmiiiu-<l. '1 In tutul umouut of com- 

 mutation capital handed over to the repr< - 

 alive church body at that date was 5,451 ,^JJ. 

 But several of the aged <-k-i>'Y, or cK-r^rv leaving 

 the country, had " coiiipoundcd " by receiving 

 a rounil sum in lieu of their annuities, so that 

 the total auiount remaining, and invested at 

 4 7. 9d. per cent., was 4,668,22 1. This 

 Mini, if it were allowed to remain intact, would 

 jiroducc a handsome yearly revenue lr church 

 purposes; but it was bound to be burdened 

 with annuities amounting to 880,626, go that 

 by the time these arc extinguished a great 

 part of the capital will have l.reii absorbed 

 unless some measures are de \isei! to supplement 

 the yearly interest. Another fund in the 

 hands of the representative body, culled the 

 I'rivute Endowment Fund,'' amounts to 

 about 580.000. Thin, however, is burdened 

 with payments to certain 1 1 u-ts. and is there- 

 fore not available as a general isustcntiitioii 

 fund. Of the private subscriptions of indi- 

 viduals and parishes, the greater part are 

 allocated by the donors to the parishes in 

 which they are interested, so that the fund 

 available to really poor parishes is very tinnll. 



III. FKKE Curacn OF ENGLAND. The 

 eleventh annual convention of the Free Chvreh 

 of England was held on the 28d and 24th of 

 June. It was more numerously attended than 

 any previous meeting. A resolution was 

 adopted in favor of a closer union between 

 this body and the Countess of Hir 

 Connection. To this end, a recommendation 

 was pawed, to tin- etl'cct "that the mii:'- 

 and members of either body should he re- 

 ceived aa ministers and memben of tin- other 

 on signing (if Free Churchmen) the titt.,n 

 artii ;. "nnvction. and (if members of 



the Connection) the declaration of compliance 

 with the doctrine and worship of the Free 

 Church,]' and that their meetings should ho 

 held unitedly at one and the same time and 

 place. A resolution was passed to expunge 

 from the 28th article the words " given, taken, 

 and," on the ground that the members of the 

 i 'hureh disclaim the belief that the body 

 of Christ is "given" by the minister or 

 "taken" by the recipient in any manner, 

 n new places of worship had been erected 

 during the year.
