not a L'd. of Parl. To every cathedral belong a dean and several prebendaries, who form the dean and chapter, or council of the bishop. The next order is that of archdeacons, who are about 60 in number, and whose office is to reform abuses, and induct into benefices. The number of dignitaries of the several orders is stated as follows; 2 Archbishops, 25 Bishops, 27 Deans, 60 Archdeacons, and 544 Canons and Prebendaries:-total 658. The number of churches belonging to the establishment, in 1818, was 10,192; Chapels, 1,551: total 11,741. "According to the last diocesan returns,' says the Edinburgh Encyclopædia, (1815), "the number of non-resident parochial clergy was 5,037; the number of residents 5,397; the number of curates on livings where the incumbents were not resident, 3,926. The annual income of the clergy of the Church of England of all ranks, is supposed to be about £3,000,000; but the annual average income of the parochial clergy, or rectors, vicars, and curates, does not exceed £100." Of 10,656 livings, according to a statement in a late English newspaper, 5,030 are in the gift of the Nobility; 3,567, in the gift of the Church; 1,015, of the government; 784, of the Universities; 197, of public bodies; 63, of the inhabitants. Some make the income of the clergy lower than the above statement, while others make it as high as £7,600,000.

The following Table, which was compiled by an American Editor, from English Documents, and was copied into the Christian Observer for May, 1830, gives a view of the Population and of the Ecclesiastical Statistics of the Country.

Rotation of Irish Bishops sitting in Parliament.

The rotation in which the Irish Bishops sit in Parliament, is regulated by the following cycle; by which each Archbishop sits once in four, and each Bishop once in six sessions.

"In Ireland," says the Eclectic Review (1823), "the Church of England has the tithes; the Church of Rome has the people. Out of nearly 7 millions of people, 5 millions are Roman Catholics; above one million are Presbyterians and Dissenters of other sects; and not half a million (400,000) is computed to be the outside of the numbers who adhere to the Protestant establishment. To minister to these 400,000 hearers, there are no fewer than 1,700 clergy (of whom 587 are dignitaries), with an income of £1,300,000."

THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

The established religion of Scotland is Presbyterianism. The Church of Scotland is governed by one General Assembly, 15 Synods, and 78 Presbyteries. It contains 899 parishes, and has 938 clergymen.
