The Clergy List (Kelly's Directories, 12s. 6d.).—This periodical appears for

the sixty-ninth time, and supplies its accustomed variety of carefully collected and corrected information. We note the many proofs of increased activity in the Church, in the Church Societies, General and Diocesan, the Theological Colleges, &c. ; but it is a discouraging fact that the number of the clergy increases but very slowly. The ordinations do little more than replace the losses by death and retirement. There ianothing to speak of that can be set against the increase of population.
