BISHOPS' COURTS.-A most important and admirably-written pamphlet has just been published by Mr. Sewell, of Magdalen College, Oxford, entitled “Vindiciæ Ecclesiasticæ, or a Legal and Historical Argument against the Abolition of the Bishops' Courts in causes of Correction of Clerks, as proposed by the Church Discipline Bill," now before the House of Lords. We earnestly invite our readers to the perusal of this argument, than which nothing, to our minds, can be more conclusive or better founded. The monstrous doctrine of taking away from the Bishops the jurisdiction over the Clergy of their own diocese, is here combated with equal force and judgment; whilst the antiquarian knowledge exhibited by the author, and his sound, legal, and truly orthodox opinions advanced throughout the work, are, as we think, calculated to be of infinite advantage to the cause he espouses-a cause of vast importance to the Clergy of this kingdom, whose common rights and privileges are, in the Bill now proposed, not only overlooked, but absolutely threatened with destruction.

READING SCHOOL was founded by King Henry VII., and the Corporation are charged by a charter of Queen Elizabeth with the payment of 101. per annum to the schoolmaster, which is still paid out of the corporate revenues. Archbishop Laud, in 1640, augmented the stipend by giving two-twentieths of the rents of a freehold estate at Bray, Berks, for the benefit of the schoolmaster, which augmentation now amounts to about 401. per annum. The Archbishop appointed the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, and the warden of All Souls', and president of St. John's, in that University, visitors of his charity, who hold a triennial visitation in the month of October, when the pupils of the school are publicly examined in Latin, Greek, and Mathematics. The master holds office quamdiu se bene gesserit. The assistantmaster is not paid by the Corporation. There was originally only a school-room, and no school-house; but in 1785, a school-house (which is of leasehold tenure, and now held for two lives, aged 81 and 45,) was purchased by subscription for the use of the master; it is situate in the Forbury, and was the residence of the late Dr. Valpy for nearly fifty years; it is capable of accommodating twenty boarders occupying single beds, besides the master's family. The master is subject to the payment of the ground rents and land tax, amounting together to 81. 14s. per annum, and a couple of capons, and also to keep and leave the premises in good repair. The master is permitted to take an unlimited number of private pupils and boarders; and during the long period of Dr. Valpy's mastership (fifty years) the school attained a very high character: at one period he had 120 scholars, including day-boys and boarders. The school is open to all boys, whether natives or residents in Reading, and none are admitted free: day-boys pay 71. 7s. a year for classical instruction, and 41. 4s. more if taught writing, arithmetic, and mathematics; for French, drawing, &c. there are extra charges. The whole management and internal discipline of the school are under the control of the head master. The academical advantages belonging to the school are two presentations to St. John's College, Oxford, on the foundation of Sir Thomas White, confined to the natives of Reading educated at the school.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

"A. W." We shall be most happy to receive a Sermon for Christmas. The Extracts in our next. "D. I. E." A parcel will be forwarded on the 1st as before. His numerous favours shall have our earliest attention.

P. H." The "Jacob's Ladder," is a totally different book from that of H. I.; but should our friend meet with any of the works of the latter, he would confer the greatest favour by forwarding information to the Editor.

"X." has our best thanks.

"G. C." A continuation of the papers commenced in this Number is highly desirable. "T." The review of Archbishop Sharp's Life, and notices of the other works, will, we hope, reach us by the 20th. Our friend's well-known style is often inquired after. "Phoenix." The remaining articles in our next.

"R. H." We hope for further expositions of Popery from our able and zealous correspondent. With respect to the controversy on the "Tracts for the Times," the ground we have taken, from conviction, is decidedly favourable to the "Oxford divines." And the more we study the subject, the more satisfied we are that immense benefit has already been derived by the Church from their publications. Our impressions will, however, possibly be best understood, when we announce, that we entirely coincide in the view taken of these distinguished characters by Dr. Hook.
