THE STATUS OF THE CLERGY SIR,—T hasten to make a

slight but necessary correction to my letter in your issue of Friday, June z6th. I an authoritatively informed that the Guild of All Souls bought perhaps half a dozen advowsons before passing its existing rule against this practice. Also, that the Kelham Fathers purchased the advowson of Kelham (in their private grounds) from the late Rector of Kelham.—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

PREBENDARY AND RURAL DEAN.
