REGULATIONS OF EXAMINATIONS FOR WOMEN. The following has been issued: There will be an examination commencing on Monday, the 5th of July, 1869, open to women who have completed the age of 18 years before the 1st of January, 1869. Candidates will be examined in such places as the syndies appointed by the university may determine. The syndicate will entertain applications from places where 25 fees at the least are guaranteed. Before any application for an examination be approved, the syndicate must be satisfied as to the following points: 1. That there is a committee of ladies who will efficiently superintend the examination, one of whom will undertake to act as local secretary. 2. That this committee will see that suitable accommodation will be provided for candidates who are strangers to the place. 3. That a responsible person will be at hand to receive the examination papers from the conducting examiner and collect the answers. Committees, wishing to have examinations held in their several districts, may obtain all necessary information from the rev. T. Markby, Trinity-hall, Cambridge. No application will be considered which is received after the 1st day of May, 1869. 1. Every one admitted to examination will be required to pay a fee of 40s, 2. Papers will be set in the subjects grouped and numbered as below. Every candidate is required to satisfy the examiners in all the papers set in the first group, except those in religious knowledge. These may be omitted by any candidate who at the time of her application for admission to the examination declares her objection to be examined in religious knowledge. 3. The candidates who satisfy the examiners will be entitled to receive certificates to that effect, and those who pass the examination with credit, certificates of honour. Every certificate will specify the subjects in which the candidate has passed. 4. No certificate will be granted to any candidate who does not pass in group A, and also one of the groups B, C, D, and E. 5. The names of the candidates who pass in each group will be placed alphabetically in three classes. If a candidate specially distinguishes herself in particular parts of the examination, the fact will be notified by endorsement on her certificate. No class-lists will be published, but after each examination notice of the result will be sent to the home of each candidate. 6. A candidate who passes in group A, but not in the farther subjects necessary for obtaining a certificate, will not be examined in the papers in that group in any future year in which she may go in to the examination for the purpose of obtaining her certificate. 7. A time-table for the conduct of the examination will be published annually, and no candidate will be examined in more subjects than such time-table will allow. After passing in group A, candidates may be examined in other groups in subsequent years. After a certificate has been obtained, the fee in any subsequent year will be 20s. A schedule of books recommended by the syndicate will be appended to each group; but it is to be understood that such schedules are not intended to limit the studies of the candidates, nor the range of questions in the papers set by the examiners. Group A.-1, Religious knowledge; 2, Arithmetic ; 3, English history. A knowledge of geography, so far as it bears on this subject, will be expected. 4, English language and literature; 5, Every candidate will be required to write a short English composition. Group B.-1, Latin; 2, Greek; 3, French; 4, German; 5, Italian. Passages will be given for translation into English from the books mentioned in a subjoined schedule. Questions will also be set on the language and subject matter. In each of these languages passages will be given for translation from some other authors, and passages of English prose for translation into each. A knowledge of one of these languages will enable candidates to pass in this group. For a certificate of honour a knowledge of two will be required. In the papers in French and Italian, the connexion between these languages and Latin will be included; but a knowledge of Latin will not be insisted upon as necessary for either the pass or the honour certificate. Group C.-1, Euclid, books i., ii., iii., iv., vi., and ix. to prop. 21 inclusive; 2, the elementary parts of algebra, namely, the rules for the fundamental operations upon algebraical symbols, with their proofs; the solution of simple and quadratic equations; arithmetical and geometrical progression, permutations and combinations, the binomial theorem, and the principles of logarithms; 3, the elementary parts of plane trigonometry, so far as to include the solution of triangles; 4, the simpler properties of the conic sections treated either geometrically or analytically; 5, the elementary parts of statics, including the equilibrium of forces acting in one plane, the properties of the centre of gravity, the laws of friction, and the mechanical powers; 6, the elementary parts of astronomy, so far as they are necessary for the explanation of the more simple phenomena; 7, the elementary parts of dynamics, including the laws of motion, gravity, and theory of projectiles. A knowledge of the first two of these subjects will be required to enable the candidate to pass in this group. For a certificate of honour, a knowledge of two at least of the remaining five will be required in addition. Group D.-1, Political economy; 2, Logic.

Proceedings SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. 67, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Tuesday, Jan. 5, 1869. The rev. Charlton Lane in the chair. The secretaries reported that they received, on Saturday last, in accordance with the provisions of rule XXVII., the names of the following members, duly proposed and seconded, to fill the vacancies in the standing committee declared at the last general meeting, on Tuesday, December 1: The rev. G. Hodson, fellow of Trinity college, Cambridge, incumbent of Cookham Dean, Maidenhead; proposed by the rev. R. T. West, seconded by Mr. W. J. Makins. The rev. A. Blomfield, St. Matthew's, Cityroad; proposed by the rev. T. West, seconded by Mr. H. Wood. The hon. Henry Walpole; proposed by the rev. R. T. West, seconded by Mr. H. Wood. Mr. R. Brett; proposed by the rev. J. A. Foote, seconded by rev. C. Gutch. The rev. Thomas Hugo, rector of West Hackney; proposed by the rev. J. A. Foote, seconded by the rev. C. Gutch. The members, therefore, who would be balloted for on Tuesday, February 2, as the members of the standing committee were: Members of the present standing committee retiring by rotation, but offering themselves for re-election-Mr. John Boodle, rev. J. W. Buckley, rev. R. Burgess, rev. Dr. Miller, rev. M. W. Mayow, rev. J. D. Hales. Proposed by the standing committee in the place of the rev. Charlton Lane, resigned, rev. E. Capeleure, rector of St. George's, Bloomsbury, together with the members above mentioned, proposed by the rev. R. T. West and the rev. J. A. Foote respectively. No other names than those proposed by the standing committee at the last meeting had been sent to the secretaries with reference to the tract committee, the committee of general literature and education, and the supplemental religious catalogue committee. The rev. Dr. Patten, archdeacon of Ontario and rector of Cornwall, province of Canada (Cornwall, Ontario, December 10, 1868), solicited the assistance of the society towards the erection, on the site of the present Trinity church in the town of Cornwall, of a substantial stone church, as "The Bishop Strachan Memorial Church," Cornwall having been the scene of the earliest ministerial labours of the late bishop of Toronto. Though the people generally are poor, the sum of 10,000 dollars (£2,500) has been subscribed by instalments by the congregation. The church, which is to be of stone, 100 feet long, to seat 600 persons, when completed, will cost 24,000 dol. 9,000 dol. more has, by dint of great exertions, been subscribed in the province, leaving a defi- | ciency of 5,000 dollars. The present church is a wooden building sixty-four years old, built when the parish was in its infancy. It is now quite unsuitable for its object, and it is absolutely necessary to erect a new one. The bishop of Ontario heartily supported the application of archdeacon Patten; and it was agreed, on the recommendation of the standing committee, to grant the sum of £100 in two annual payments of £50 each, Redhead, T. J., late vic. Christ Church, Emery-Down. Hampshire. Wood, W. H., late cur. St. Luke, Leeds Yorkshire. of Societies. The rev. Dr. Nicolls, principal of Bishop's college, Lennoxville, applied for a grant of books for the use of the divinity students in that college. These students are, almost without exception, poor; and many of them only able to obtain collegiate instruction through a grant made annually for their benefit by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. On the recommendation of the standing committee, six copies of the society's edition of the septuagint and twelve copies of the concordance were placed at the disposal of Dr. Nicolls, for the purposes specified. The rev. Daniel Wilson, vicar of Islington, in behalf of his son, Mr. Edward F. Wilson, of Sarnia, Canada West, in the diocese of Huron, asked for assistance towards building a small log church to hold about 150 people, in a wild tract of land, in order to afford the Indian owners of the soil an opportunity for divine worship. The Indians will help to the best of their power. A poor widow has already given an acre of land off her lot; others have offered to cut down trees, square them, and haul them to the spot. But money will be wanting for windows, doors, roofs, fittings, &c. £200 to £250 will suffice to build both church and mission-house. The Church Missionary Society is organizing a mission among the Red Indians of Canada, and is ready to take upon itself the cost of agency; but, as this is British territory, the expense of buildings must be borne by friends in Canada and at hoine. It was agreed to grant £10 towards the building of the church, subject to approval of the bishop of Huron. The rev. W. H. Brett (Trinity parish, Essequibo, British Guiana, November 13, 1860) reported the safe arrival of the Indian tracts in five languages, granted to him by the society, and said that ere this they would have been scattered far and wide. The Acowoio are chiefly in request, and 1,000 copies, the bishop informed Mr. Brett, would not have been too many for distribution among them. During the eighteen months which had passed since the missionary expedition above the great falls of the Demerara made by the bishop to a district and people previously unvisited by a Christian teacher, the people had been so well instructed by a zealous settler living near them (who used the society's books for that purpose) that 245 adults were found by the bishop fully prepared for baptisın. These, with 145 children, made a total of 390 Acowoios to whom that holy sacrament was then administered. Encouraged by this, Mr. Brett had commenced the translation of St. Matthew's gospel into their tongue. Owing to his limited opportunities for the work, it would probably be a year or two before it would be ready for the press; and Mr. Brett trusted that the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge would then aid him in the printing of it. Mr. Brett asked for aid towards the erection of a chapel further inland, in the place of one which the sea had now surrounded; their last barrier, only fifteen feet from the chancel wall, having been swept away during the equinoctial gales. All the parishioners are poor, the proprietors of the estates being mostly in England, Mr. Brett asked for £25, and said that he was in other ways so much indebted to the society, that only the exigency of the case compelled him to solicit this uid. The application had the approval of the bishop; and it was agreed, on the recommendation of the standing committee, to grant the sum of £25 towards the erection of the new church. The bishop of Sierra Leone (The Retreat, Sierra Leone, Nov. 28, 1868) asked the assistance of the society towards building a church for a native pastor in that town. The cost would be probably £2,000. The Church Missionary Society had granted £250; a similar sum has been collected by one of the missionaries, and it was hoped that more than half the amount required would be raised in a short time. The bishop had recently completed two churches in the country, besides others, beyond the colony, which had been erected by the missionaries. The native congregations were not wealthy, and the bishop would be very grateful if the society will aid them with a liberal contribution. It was agreed, on the recommendation of the standing committee, to grant the sum of £50 towards the building of the native church, together with bibles, common prayer-books, and tracts to the amount of £10. Archdeacon Mooyaart (Kandy, Ceylon, November 16, 1868) informed the society that, after ten years' delays, attended with many difficulties, the first stone of the new church (All Saints') at Point de Galle was laid by the bishop, on October 30. The governor, Mr. Hercules Robinson, has given a site opposite the queen's house, in the port of Galle, and £500 from the public revenue. The church, the design and plans for which have been given by Mr. Smither, the government architect, will accommodate about 380 people. There is a sum of about £2,150 available for the building, but a considerable sum is yet required to make up the estimated cost. In 1859 the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge voted £100 towards the building; but from unforeseen difficulties the work was not carried out, and the grant, not having been claimed within five years, was cancelled in 1864. Arrangements for commencing the building have CANADA. COLONIAL now been made, and the archdeacon asked that this grant of £100 might be renewed. Such a grant would greatly help forward the erection of the church, and would be most thankfully appreciated. It was agreed, on the recommendation of the standing committee, to renew this grant of £100, to be paid when the amount sufficient for the completion of the church had been raised. The rev. James Lawrence, visitor of emigrants sailing from the port of Liverpool, forwarded a report of his labours during the last three months. The dead season for emigration has now set in, and probably there would not be emigrants again in any quantity before the latter end of March or the beginning of April. Mr. Lawrence had accompanied the emigrants sailing in the "Nestorian," in which were about 90 young women under Miss Rye's care, to Londonderry, performing service on board and giving them an address. He acknowledges, with many thanks, two grants of books, one of Swedish and Norwegian tracts from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, the other of books and tracts from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. Total number of ships visited, 15; number of emigrants, 5,892. Pursuant to notice given at the last general meeting, the rev. Dr. Biber rose to move the following resolution: "That a committee be appointed to inquire into the present condition of the Armenian church, its present relation to the church of England, and its position towards the Anglican bishop at Jerusalem; and to report to the board thereon at the March meeting." At the suggestion of the chairman, Dr. Biber, under protest, altered his resolution as follows: "That the standing committee be requested to appoint a committee to inquire into the present condition of the Armenian church, its present relation to the church of England, and its position towards the Anglican bishop at Jerusalem; and to report to the board thereon at the March meeting." This resolution was seconded by the rev. F. S. May, and, when put from the chair, was negatived. Other business was transacted. CHURCH.

In this nomination the bishop of Huron sent a message to say that he did not concur. The second ballot was then taken, with the following result: 1 vince should be chosen by the synod, he should hold the office only until a canon should be passed, leaving the election of metropolitan in the hands of the house of bishops, and placing the election of a bishop of Montreal without restriction in the synod. This message was ruled to be out of order, as inconsistent with the resolution adopted with reference to the first message of the house of bishops. The bishops accordingly withdrew it, and sent down the names of the bishops of British Columbia, Newfoundland, Huron, Ontario, and Toronto-the bishop of Quebec explaining through the secretary that he could not permit his name to be used, as his mind was quite |
