CHURCHES AND CHAPELS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

From the Leeds Mercury.

From the Clergy List of 1845, we find that the number of churches and chapels of the Establishment in England and Wales, in the year 1844, was about 12,100. Allowing for subsequent increase, we may suppose them now to be about 12,500.

From the authorized publications of the Wesleyan, Independent, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Unitarian, Wesleyan Association, and other bodies, as well as from other sources, we draw the following results as to the number of their places of worship:

The following then is the summary of the places of worship belonging to the Establishment and the Nonconformist bodies respectively :

We are not aware of any evidence as to the number of churches and chapels, except what is inferential. The following are the numbers of the clergy and ministers of religion, as given in the census of 1841:

WARM WEATHER WORSHIP.

Mr. WiLans of Agra says, “I have lately been to Cawnpore, 179 miles from this, supplying for the pastor of the church there, who was very ill, and obliged to go on the river for charge of air. During the month I remained there, I preached several times at the Glaut, and in other places. The people generally heard attentiver. I saw tear the river sile a large id 1 temple: looking into it I saw a large stone ids! (Harnunan), a frightful booking thing, painted red, and a boy employed in palling a Kankri over it. I sa, You foolish fellow, what are you about? He said, It is very warm, sir.' Yes, said I, it is indeed, but a stree is not suscepiille eitler of bent or cold. His reply was, 'We think differently from you, and that by doing this we honour the god.""
