RELIGIOUS AND PHILANTHROPIC
INTELLIGENCE.

Society for the Building and Enlargement of Churches.—The Fourth Anniversary of this Society was held on Monday, May 20; the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair. From the Report it appeared, that in the course of the last year sixty-eight applications had been received, fifty-four grants made, to the amount of £13,551, and room provided for 16,891 persons; 12,764, about three-fourths of the whole being free sittings. Since the formation of the Society 60,000 additional sittings have been provided, of which near 50,000 are free and unappropriated. The contributions to the Society, from its origin, have been in donations £60,873. 6s. 10d., and in annual subscriptions £630. 14s. During the last year two donations of £500 each were sent anonymously.

Cheshunt College.-On Thursday, June 13, the Thirtieth Anniversary of the opening of the late Countess of Huntingdon's College, (now at Cheshunt, Herts,) was held in the College Chapel. Four of the students read selections from the Scriptures and from the Liturgy of the Church of England. Mr. William Lucy and Mr. Eben. Morley (two of the senior students) delivered orations, the latter on ‘divine illumination,' and the former on the image of God.' The Rev. Dr. Collyer preached from Rev. xix. 10. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.' A large party of the friends of the Institution afterwards dined together, when a Report of the state of the College was read. Besides the Collection at the Chapel, several liberal donations were presented in the course of the day; new subscribers were announced, and some of the old ones doubled the amount of their annual subscriptions.

Baptist Home Missionary Society.-The Annual Meeting of this Institution was held on Tuesday evening, June 18, at the City of London Tavern; Edward Phillips, Esq. High Sheriff of Wiltshire, in the chair. The Report stated, that the Society now employed twelve Missionaries, who are entirely devoted to the work, under the direction of the Committee, besides assisting upwards of eighty stated ministers and occasional preachers of the gospel, situated in twentysix counties in England, and seven in Wales. Each of these labourers regularly preaches at from two to ten different stations; and they have altogether upwards of an hundred Sunday schools under their care. The receipts of the last year amounted to nearly £930, upwards of £200 more than those of any former year. Still the stated income of the institution does not amount to one half its expenditure, the larger proportion must therefore be provided by occasional donations and public collections, which are not obtained without considerable labour and expense.

Baptist Mission.-On Wednesday morning, June 19, the Anniversary of this Society commenced by a sermon, delivered in the Methodist Chapel, Great Queen-street, by the Rev. W. Jay, of Bath. In the evening the Rev. Micah Thomas, of Abergavenny, preached at Sion Chapel. At a prayer meeting, held for the special purpose of imploring a divine blessing upon the society and its founders, on the

following morning, at Eagle-street meeting house, the venerable Dr. Ryland, of Bristol, delivered a very suitable address, from Acts xxi. 28. Men of Israel, help.' The public meeting was soon afterwards held in Great Queen-street Chapel, Benjamin Shaw, Esq. the treasurer, in the chair; who, in his speech with which he opened the meeting, very happily adverted to the pleasing instance of Christian liberality, afforded by the fact of an Independent minister having preached in a Wesleyan chapel, for a Baptist Society. The Report contained an interesting account of the present state of the missions on the Continent of India, in Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, the West Indies, &c. together with a statement of the measures adopted at home for promoting the interest of the society. From the statement of accounts, it appeared that the receipts of the society in the year just closed, had been greater than in any preceding year, except the last, in which extraordinary donations and collections had been made to the amount of £2000. The amount received in the past year was about £11,600, exceeding the expenditure by £1000; but as the treasurer had immediately to make a large remittance to India, and was under acceptance for bills drawn from thence, he concluded his statement of accounts by informing the meeting, that the amount of debt due from the society might still be stated at £4000.

Rotherham Independent College.-On Tuesday, June 25, was held the Annual Examination of the Students of this Institution; Dr. Boothroyd was called to the chair. The junior Hebrew Class read in the twelfth chapter of Deuteronomy, and analyzed such words as any member of the Committee pleased to point out. The senior Hebræans read in the book of Psalms, and went through two, which the Chairman selected at the moment; they read also in the book of Proverbs. The Chaldee and Syriac Classes were examined in the second chapter of Daniel, and in the seventh chapter of John, in the Peshito Syriac version. The junior Greek Class read in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and parsed several verses. Another Class was examined in the Oration of Lysias against Eratosthenes, and in the Septuagint version of the book of Proverbs. The seniors read in the Oration of Eschines against Ctesiphon. In Latin, the juniors were examined in the Second Ode of the first book of Horace. They produced and read several English translations of these Odes. Another Class translated part of the first book of Tacitus's History. The afternoon was occupied with examining the Students in Theology. The Mathematical Examination in the evening was precluded by a meeting of the General Committee of the Institution. On the following day, Wednesday 26, the Annual Meeting of the Subscribers was held, Joseph Read, Esq. in the chair. Mr. Benson read to the meeting a Greek Theme; and Mr. Matthews and Mr. Barton delivered Latin Themes. The Report of the Committee announced, that there had been nineteen students in the Institution at the commencement of the session; that six would finish their studies at the present Midsummer-of these five are going to stations of usefulness, and one intends finishing his education at the University of Edinburgh.-In the Evening, at the Chapel, three students delivered English Themes;-Mr. Woodwork, On the certainty and near approach of the Millennium;' Mr. Johnson, 'On the means of hastening that state of the Church; Mr. Benson, "On the effusion of the Spirit to give efficacy to those means.' Mr.

Scales, of Leeds, delivered an appropriate address to the students, which closed the services of the day.-The Report of the Treasurer announced that he was more than £400 in advance; while the expenses of the current year are unprovided for a circumstance which must distress all the friends of the Institution.

Homerton Academy.-On the morning of June 26th, the Annual Sermon before the friends of this Institution was preached at Broadstreet by the Rev. John Innes, of Camberwell. In the evening two of the Students delivered orations; Mr. Jacobson, 'On False Notions of Charity in Religious Matters,' and Mr. Morell On Prejudices with regard to Religion.' On the following day was the public examination of the students, the Rev. W. Ward, of Stow-market, in the chair. The examination in the department of Languages had taken place on a preceding day by Mr. Ward and Mr. Innes, in the most close and rigorous manner, none of the classes having any previous knowledge of the passages which they would be called upon to explain, parse, or scan, except so far as that they would be in the authors read throughout the past year. The conductors of this strict examination in the Latin and Greek Classics, and in the Hebrew Bible, expressed themselves highly gratified with its results. On the public day, the students were interrogated on several branches of science, and particularly in theology; and the ministers and other gentlemen present were pleased to express their satisfaction. The Chairman delivered an affectionate and instructive charge to the students, and the meeting was concluded, as it had been opened, with prayer. Shortly after, the first stone of the new Academy was laid by the venerable Treasurer, Joseph Stonard, Esq. who delivered an appropriate speech on the occasion; after which a hymn was sung, and a very suitable and interesting address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Winter, in which he gave a sketch of the history of the Academy and its tutors from the commencement; and, in conclusion, solemn prayer was offered by the Divinity tutor for a blessing on this undertaking, and on all the interests of our country and the universal church of God. Mr. Innes and Dr. Winter have complied with the request made known to them, for the publication of the sermon and address.

Hoxton Academy.-On Tuesday, July 2, the Annual Examination of the Students was held before several ministers and friends of the Institution. The Rev. Dr. Manuel was in the chair for the Classical and Oriental department, and the Rev. Mr. Macfarlane for the Belles Lettres, Philosophical and Theological department. The students of the first year read in Latin portions of Cicero's Orations, and in Greek Esop's Fables, from the Collectanea Minora. They were examined also in subjects connected with the Belles Lettres. Those of the second year read in Latin some of the Odes of Horace, and in Greek a part of Lucian's Dialogues. They were also examined on various subjects connected with Intellectual Philosophy, and in part of the third book of Euclid's Elements. The whole of this class produced Essays on different branches of the Philosophy of the Mind, some of which were read. Those of the third year were examined in Tacitus and Demosthenes. Some of them read Essays on important topics of Biblical Criticism. In Hebrew they were examined in the prophecies of Isaiah. In Divinity they gave a full account of the lectures they had received on the doctrine of Original Sin. Those of the fourth year read part of the Edipus Coloneus of
