The termination of my official connection with the Council will make no difference in the lively interest which I have felt in this institution, nor in my earnest prayers for its prosperity, although it will not be in my power to promote its interests by the same amount of personal attention, nor of pecuniary contribution. With the assurance of my best wishes for the welfare of the Council collectively and individually, and for your own, I remain, &c. C. J. BLOMFIELD, Bp. Rev. H. Baber. New Subscriptions.

(Parochial Collections, continued from January Number.) The following collections are a portion of the sums already remitted to the Society, being in lieu of those heretofore made under the authority of the Royal Letter triennially granted in its favour. In the majority of dioceses the Bishops, in conformity with the recommendation of the Archbishop, have issued a Pastoral Letter, requesting the Clergy to preach a sermon and make a collection in behalf of the Society. In most cases the suggestion which emanated from the Committee of the Society has been added, that the proceeds should be divided between the Parent Society and the Diocesan Board of Education. The returns are those received from the undermentioned counties since the last announcement (19th November) at the Receiver's office up to the 17th of January. They comprise, in some instances, the whole amount collected; in others only the moiety, the other half having been forwarded to the Diocesan Board. Collections received since 17th of January will appear in future Numbers. Collections forwarded for the Society's General Fund are not included in this list, but have been acknowledged in the monthly list of contributions to the Society. Queen's Scholarships. The following are the Lists of Queen's Scholars, the result of the recent Examination at Christmas. LIST (IN ORDER OF MERIT) OF QUEEN'S SCHOLARS (MALES). CHRISTMAS 1856.
