The next order is that of archdeacons, who are about 60 in number, and whose office is to reform abuses, and induct into benefices. The number of dignitaries of the several orders is stated as follows; 2 Archbishops, 25 Bishops, 27 Deans, 60 Archdeacons, and 544 Canons and Prebendaries :-total 658. The number of churches belonging to the establishment, in 1818, was 10,192 Chapels, 1,551: total 11,741. According to the last diocesan returns," says the Edinburgh Encyclopædia, (1815), "the number of non-resident parochial clergy was 5,037; the number of residents 5,397; the number of curates on livings where the incumbents were not resident, 3,926. The annual income of the clergy of the Church of England of all ranks, is supposed to be about £3,000,000; but the annual average income of the parochial clergy, or rectors, vicars, and curates, does not exceed £100." Of 10,656 livings, according to a statement in a late English newspaper, 5,030 are in the gift of the Nobility; 3,567, in the gift of the Church; 1,015, of the government; 784, of the Universities; 197, of public bodies; 63, of the inhabitants. Some make the income of the clergy lower than the above statement, while others make it as high as £7,600,000.
