The consecration service attracted a large number of visitms,especially as it had been announced that the service would be perfonued and a /mutton preached by Archbishop Manning. The church consists of a nave and chapel, but under a continuous roof, north and south aisles, chapels of "our Ladye " and St. Francis. The chapel is marked by two gables, which rise from the nave walls above the aisle roofs, each gable being perforated by a fine rose window. Large rose windows also pierce the eastern gables of the tare as well as the ea s t ern wa ll o f th e Wye Chapel. The aisle windows are entirely arcaded in single lights the height of the church, although it has no clerestory. There Is a life-like Calvary painted in natural colours over the altar, but this is only temporary. The altars of the chapels are of Irish marbles, and were worked in Ireland from Pugin's drawings. Archbishop Manning was received at the door of the church by the Right Rev. Dr. Grant, "Bishop o f S out h wark, " in whose diocese Peckham is *nate ; the Right Rev. Dr. Amherst, " Bishop of North amnion :" Father Emidius, the superior, and aeveralof the Capuchin monk s ; M r . P ug i n, the architect, and other gen tlemen. Pontifical high man was celebrated byDr. Great, the music being Mozart's Twelfth, after which the care- Molly of consecration was performed by Archbishop Man tah:grho delivered a brief practical address. The new . will be known as " The Church of the Seven Dolours of the Blessed Marie." Father &aiding has re marked that, in his opinion, looking at the benighted state el Peckham, the " Dolours" must be at least fourteen in stead of amen. There was a second service in the even ing, in which Bishop Amherst took the principal part. CRYSTAL PALACE.

NEw CONGREGATIONAL CM - Refl.—Yesterday Mr. Samuel Morley performed the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new congregational church to be erected in the Junction-road, Upper Holloway. The rapid increase of the population in that district within the last few years has made the want of such a church much felt, and this want is now about to be supplied by the munidceuce of Mr. Morley, who has contributed the sum of 500/. towards the expense of erecting the new building. A large and highly influential congregation were present at the ceremony yesterday, and manifested great interest in the proceedings. The service, which commenced at 12 o'clock, was read by the Rev. Mr. Roberts, the pastor of ' the new church, at the conclusion of which the stone was laid by Mr. Morley with all the usual formalities. The church is to be built in the decorative Gothic style of architecture, the designs for which have been furnished by Mr. M. F. Poulton, of Reading. It is to afford accommo dation at least for seven hundred persona, with provisions fur erecting galleries when required, by which 250 addi tional sittings will be obtained. The total cost is estimated at 7,4001., including the purchase of the freehold. The contract for the building has been taken by Mr. Sawyer, of Dulwich, for 4,716/. About 1.3001. of the sum required has been contributed by the congregations, and 500/. by Mr. Morley, and a grant of 250/. has been obtained from the London Congregational Chapel Building Society, with a loan without interest to the same amount. It is expected that the building will be ready for divine worship 121 the summer of next year, before which time a further sum of 2,500/. will be required to defray the cost of erection. At the close of the ceremony of laying the stone the assembly was addressed by Mr. Morley, who was followed by the Rev. Dr. Vaughan. He reviewed the present position of the Congregational Church in this country, and rejoiced at the widely increasing influence that church was exercising for good on the minds of the people. The assembly then adjourned to the temporary chapel, where a luncheon was served to the company. The Rev. Mr. Roberta, who presided, proposed the usual loyal toasts, which were duly honoured. "The Houses of Par liament" were next given with which was Associated the name of Mr. Tomas, M.P. for Finsbury. The boo. gen tleman, in responding, said that as a member of the esta blished church he held that equality of creeds in the eye of the law was the only true foundation of national happi ness and freedom. Mr. Morley again addressed the assem bly, enunciating similar opinioas to those expressed by Mr. Torrens, after which the company separated. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OUR OWN CORRRBPONDINT.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVERING. The Monte-Lombardo-Venetian debt, alluded to in the Moniteur as being now entirely assumed by Italy, is that debt three-fifths of which were saddled upon Italy by the treaty of Zurich of Nov. 10, 1859. The amount of the remaining two-fifths is estimated at about 163 millions of francs ; and these added to the 87 millions which, by virtue of the treaty of peace just signed, Italy is to pay to Austria for the share of Venetia in the loan of 18E4, and the war material which cannot be removed, makes the sum of 250 millions which Italy will have to pay for getting possession of Venetia and the Quadrilateral She would at one time have readily offered very much more. Prince Napoleon, whose departure for Havre was prematurely announced, will, I believe, leave Paris for that port to-morrow, with the intention of making a trip in his yacht round the British islands. General Prim has arrived at Brussels with him family, intending to pass the winter there. The long dreary road extending from the triumphal arch of the Etoile to the Pont de Neuilly, is about to be transformed. Squares (in French pronounce squarr) are to be laid out in the centre of the causeway, and on each side of the squares there will remain a road wide enough for carriages. This will be a great improvement. Everybody who crosses under the Arc de Triomphe coming from the Champs Elys6ea must be struck by the contrast between the beautiful Avenue de I'lmperatrioe and the ugly road for merly called the Avenue de Neuilly, and now the Avenue de la Grande Armee, which runs almost parallel with it. The works preparatory to the change are already commenced. The Grand Duchess Marie of Russia arrived in Paris yesterday from Biarritz. She will stay a few days at the Grand Hotel, and then proceed to Florence for the winter. The Bourse was so much depressed to-day that the word " panic" was pronounced. Rente fell 20c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 95c. and 69fr. Mobilier fell 17fr. 50c., Credit Fonder 10fr., and Italian 70c. It is curious that the Italian funds should fall heavily on the very day that the Mouiteur announces the signature of peace between Austria and Italy. The fall in Mobilicr is at tributed to the news that several of the railway lines in which that great company is largely in terested have been much more seriously damaged by the inundations than was hitherto supposed. The money article of the Liberti, however, says : " People were much more pre-occupied than usual with rumours that have been current for some days, and this is the true cause of the depression." The state of the Emperor's health is, I believe, alluded to, but according to very recent accounts it was much better. THE SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION. (nom ous SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) MANCHESTER, THURSDAY. There never was a place more admirably adapted than the Manchester Assize Conrta for the meet- ing "of such a society as this. The capabilities of Gothic architecture are demonstrated by this build- ing, which is as convenient in arrangement as it is beautiful in design. The whole of the meetings of the departments, and the sections of depart ments, are being held under the same roof, and there is neither hurry nor confusion in passing from one to the other. The splendid entrance hall is used as the reception-room, but its aspect yesterday did not seem to promise a busy meeting. Instead of the crowds which are usually seen on the opening day of the British Amociation, there were only two or three persons I scattered here and there apparently feeling like the early swallows of summer. But the congregation in the cathedral yesterday afternoon to hear Canon Richaon's sermon, and the meeting at the Free trade Hall last night to hear Lord Shafteabury's inaugural address, were nacre promising in the way of attendance. This morning there was a very crowded au• dienoe in the civil court, to hear from Lord Brougham his annual address as President of the Council. Half an hour beyond the time his lordship appeared, and to the surprise of many began to read his address himself, with something of his ancient vigour. But before long the vigour flagged, and the larger part of the address was mere dumb show to most of the audience. But nothing could prevent the " old man eloquent" from kindling now and then, when some old war cry stirred him. There was a great deal of Henry Brougham about his references to bribery and to one or two political questions. The energy and emphasis of his declaration that the re ' signation of the late ministry was "wholly unne cessary " drew cheers from many who thoroughly disagreed with the statement. An important his , torical declaration, as to a point which had been ' overlooked in the reform discussions, excited much interest. He said that the whip, in 1829, accepted as the basis of the reform then to be proposed household suffrage with only the limitation of a year's residence. I un derstood him to say that in this proposal there was, in his opinion, a means of enfranchising all the I better part of the working classes ; and by adding !to it the provision that all the males in such houses should vote, a wide and safe extension might be given to the franchise, and the reform 'question settled. Of course the subject of elec t Ural corruption came up for comment ; and his 1 lordship demanded with great energy that bribery should be made felony. Send the man who gives land him who takes the bribe to the treadmill, and you will stop bribery, but you will never stop it otherwise. The departments are meeting to-day in great strength. In each department special subjects for consideration are prepared by the committees, and for the first day or two all the papers and the suc ceeding discussions will bear on those subjects. TO-day a paper by Mr. Anthony Trollops, on In ternational Copyright, has been read, and the sub ject is occupying the attention of Section A, of the Jurisprudence Department. Seetiou B discusses the principle of a Bankrupt Law, and Section C, under the chairmanship of Mr. H. C. Banbury, M.P., the desirability of carrying out Life Sen tences to the utmost. In the Education Depart ment the question is—By what means can the im pediments to the Education of the Children of the Manual Labour Class, arising from the apathy or poverty of parents, and the claims of the market for labour, be most effectually removed 1 In the Health Department a subject is to be discussed which should have some practical effect on the municipal administration of this smoky city. The question is—How far are smoke and the products of combustion arising from various manufacturing processes, injurious to health 1 What measures ought to be taken to prevent the contamination of the atmosphere from such causes 1 I Perhaps in the discussion which is just coin : mencing we may hear why it is that measure s which may and can be taken to suppress smoke are not more effectually taken here. Manchester is indeed better in this respect than it was. But I see everywhere chimneys sending forth a very wasteful and needless amount of smoke, which the law might stop if the authorities enforced it. The Trade Section discusses to-day the question of Liquor Licenses, on which several celebrated " Alliance" men are taking part. On this subject Lord Brougham was very earnest and em phatic to-day—pleading for the legislative suppres sion of public houses—though, in common with the rest of his audience, I must rely on the reporters for actual knowledge of his argument and of his exact words. Apropos, by the way, not of Lord Brougham, but of many readers of papers on such occasions as the present, it would be well if the committees would not only decide on the paper, but would judge of the capacity, in voice and manner, of the writer for reading it. There are but few men who can read so as to be heard in such rooms as the larger sections of this association meet in here, and the complaints of not hearing are loud and many. But it is not in the least the fault of the architect, for the acoustic qualities of the rooms are excellent. It is the misfortune of un accustomed readers, whose voices not being trained for public effort, are more adapted to an ordinary room than to a large hall and a crowded meeting. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Adolph! ; Mr. Thomas Chapman, F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a reward of 6!. 10s. was granted to the crew of the institution's lifeboat, the his, at Hayle, for going off in a strong gale of wind and heavy ground sea l on the 10th ult., and rescuing the crew of eight men or the brigantine Nicholas Harvey, of that port, which vessel had. stranded on Hayle Bar. A reward of 61. was also voted to the crew of the Porthdinllaen lifeboat, for put ting off in reply to signals of distress, and bringing ashore the crew of five men of the brigantine Columbia, of Car narvon, which was in a very dangerous position near the I rocks in Porthdiullaen Bay, having parted from one of her anchors. A reward of 71. was likewise granted to the crew of the Blakeney lifeboat, for being instrumental in bring ing safely into harbour a pilot coble and her crew of three men during a strong wind on the 12th August. Rewards amounting to 341. were also voted to pay the expenses of the lifeboats of the institution stationed at Blackpool, Lytham, Shoreham, and North Deal, for various services during the past month. The thanks of the institution in scribed on vellum were ordered to be given to Mr. licitly B. Gawler, R.N., inspecting officer of the coastguard at Ballyheige, county Kerry, and 11. each to three of his men, in acknowledgment of their services in wading into the surf with life lines round them and effecting a communication with the barque Mary Anne, of London, which had gone ashore during a strong gale and heavy sea on the 11th ult. By these means 12 out of 14 of the crew of the vessel were rescued. A reward of 2/. 10s. was also granted to some men who assisted the coast. guardmen in hauling the shipwrecked crew ashore on the occasion. Various other rewards were also voted to the crews of shore boats for saving life from shipwreck on our coasts. It was reported that the inhabit nts of Bristol and Clifton had, through Miss Hill, Mr. E. Austin, Mr. E. Hancock, and gentlemen belonging to the Bristol His- trionic Club, contributed to the institution the cost of a new lifeboat, to be stationed at Losaieniouth, North Bri tain. Mr. Robert Taylor Heape, of Rochdale, had also collected 425/. from amongst the residents of that town to defray the expense of a lifeboat to be stationed at Pol. kerria, near Fowey, Cornwall. A contribution of 3601. had also been received from E. P. S. to pay the cost of a new lifeboat for Barmouth. Miss Hamill, of Kingstown, had also forwarded to the institution a donation of 50/. by direction of her brother, the late James Hamill, Esq. The institution had during the past mouth forwarded new lifeboats to Queenstown, Poolbeg, and Brixham ; the Railway and Steam Packet Companies kindly gave them a free conveyance to their destina • tions. The Poolbeg lifeboat, the G. V. Brooke, was exhibited on the Adelphi-terrace, London, before being sent to her station, and was publicly launched at Dublin on the 20th ult. The City of Exeter lifeboat for Brixham was also taken to Exeter on the way to her station, when a grand demonstration took place with her. The London Sunday Schools' lifeboat was also publicly presented to the institution on the 25th ult. at the Agricultural-hall, Isling ton, in the presence of upwards of 24,0a00 of the Sunday School children. Payments amounting to 3 ;4501. were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. It was reported that the society was now collecting esti mates from different places for the construction of some safety fishing boats. Theseboats are intended to become practical specimens of what may be termed life-saving fish• sang-boats, and it is hoped that after sufficient trial other boats on this model may be built by fishermen on various parts of the coast of the United Kingdom. Thus a pet manent improvement would be established which miglt lead to the saving of many live on occasions of such boats being overtaken by gales of wind, when pursuing their avocations at long distances from land. A working draw. log of a new lifeboat built at Port Adelaide, South Austra lia, on the plan of the institution, was brought under ;he notice of the meeting by the marine board of that place. Reports were read from the inspector and the assistant-in spector of lifeboats of the institution, on their resent visits to different lifeboat stations on the English and Irish coasts. The proceedings then terminated. PROPOSAL TO HOLD SHY NEXT CHURCH CON GRESS IN BIBMINGII.I3I.—A meeting was held i?

THE YARMOUTH ELECTION DOMMUSSION.—At the meeting of the commissioners yesterday several witnesses were examined as to bribery at the last election and at preceding ones. Mr. Clown, solicitor, legal agent to the liberals, said that it was not true that money was sent down in oyster barrels to carry Watkin and M`Cullash's election in 1857. He thought the legitimate expenses of a tian!iLte f /Ii l i .!.:11101lin might Se tiTtoly“. —"711 and had known them to be so low as 1501. Another wit ness, • wine and spirit merchant, stated that previous to one election he was sent for to the Star Hotel ; and whilst his overcoat hung in one room and he sat in another, his coat pockets were, in some mysterious manner, filled with parcels of gold. He did not say how many parcels there were, but he thought that each contained about 400/. or 5001. He was annoyed, but was induced to take the par cels and hand them to some one else. Other parcels were sent to his house. He purposely avoided asking how much the parcels contained. Three cheque(' were also given him ; but so careful was he that he .lid not know the amount which they represented. The commissioners again adjourned. PROPOSED SCHEME FOR SiterRINCI HAMPSTEAD HEATH To TEE PUBLIc.—At the meeting of the Maryle bone vestry yesterday—Mr. Kyusiston in the chair—a com munication from the vestry of St. Pancras was read on the subject of securing Hampstead-heath and the adjoining I lands for the public benefit, and suggeeting that negotia tions should be entered into before the next session of par liament by the Metropolitan lio.ird of Works with Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Itart., and also soliciting the ap pointment of members from the M .rylebone vestry toco-ope rate with them in taking energetic in ea au res forthe above pur pose. Mr. Nichols! said the object of this oommunicatioft was a most important and di-nimble one,:md he believed the Metropolitan Board was fully alive to that fact, but they had no funds to negotiate with. The scheme would have to be (tarried out by an act of parliament, the same as in the cases of public parka. He thought the subject ought to be taken earnestly up, as it would be a disgrace to them if Hampstead Heath were lost to the public. After a short conference Mr. Nicholay moved that seven delegates be appointed to co-operate with the vestry of St. Pancras is the matter. Mr. Filmer seconded the resolution. Mr. Grange wanted to know where the money was to come from. Mr. Nicholay said it was proposed to make a metropolitan rate. Dlr. Taverner and other gentlemen supported the motion, which was carried unanimously. THE THREATENED STRIKE OF ENOINE DRIVERS AND FIREIM—From preseut firpetrilllCCP it seems pro bable that the differences between the engine drivers and firemen of the North Eastern Ha Tway will be brought to • satisfactory termination. LaNt night a telegram was received by Mr. Oliver, the secretary fur the assoctation at Gateshead, from Darlington, stating that there was a pro spect of a favourable settlement. and that the reinstating of the men who were discharged from the Stockton and Dim lington service would be considered by the directors at a I meeting to be held on Wednesday next. Yesterday, also, • deputation of the men on the northern section had a meeting with Mr. Fletcher, the superintendent engineer at Newcastle. and that gentleman expressed himself as being favourable to the demands of the men. At • meet ing of the men last Sunday nii,ht, it was resolved that should the Stockton and Darlington men give in their I notices, the drivers and firemen on the North-Eastern line would at once adopt a similar conne. Another meeting of the men was held last night, at the house of Mr. Oliver, Hawk Inn, Bottle-bank, Gateshead, when the telegram ' fromDarllngton was taken into consideration. The notices for the resignation of the men, to the number of 400, were produced, but, considering the favourable turn things had taken, it was agreed to let them stand over, and await the issue of the meeting of the directors on Wednesday neat. It is currently reported, however, that arrangements have been made with Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Tionch that should the Stockton and Darlington men turn nut. Mr. Fletcher would endeavour to work the truffle an that line with his own m en. Should that be the case, the North-Eaatern men will send in their notices at once. REPintmeaff BLACKBIRDS. —The Sport has the following :—" The last of the republican blackbirds of Mondaye (Calvados) has just been shot by an advocate of Bayeux. Those birds, long celebrated throughout the arron dissement, were certainly better known than the persons who have killed them. The remarkable facility with which blackbirds learn and retain airs of music is matter of notoriety. In 1548. an ingenious patriot attempted to turn that instinct to account to repubticanise the whole wooded grounds of the neighbourhood. He brought up by hand two broods of the birds in question, taught them for three or four months the Marseillaise, and when he thought their education sufficiently advanced for them to impart their talent to the others, he gave them their liberty. The rest of the winged tribe took • fancy to the musics of Rouget de Mlle, and for many years nothing but the Marseillaise" was to be heard. At a later period France changed her tune, and the majority of the songsters who had not modified their repertory fell before the shot of the rural guards. One alone escaped the pursuit of the authoritin, and claiming • right of asylum It took refuge in the gardens of Mondaye, where the good monks often listened to its song with a smile. The unfortunate bird at length one day ventured beyond its limits and paid for its temerity with Its life. Time luul singularly changed the colour of its black and lustrous plumage. Physically, as well as morally, it had become a mole Mane." A specimen of that rare bird the hoopoe has been shot in the Isle of Portland. _ The Dundee A drertieer, reporting the journey of her Majesty from Balmoral to Dunked on Monday, says the party rode on ponies, except Prince Arthur, who pre ferred to walk the whole distance (about seven miles) from Spitted to Kindrogan. The young prince requested Hr. Grant, head gamekeeper to her Majesty, to ride his pony wrong the hill. He walked alongside, and did not seism in the least fatigued. The royal carriage passed through the pretty little village of Kirkmichael, and thence to Dunked. Ili:uassing Dirnanean-house to Kindrogan,. the shortly into conversation with Miss Smar e ol Dirnanean. The weather, though somewhat hazy, was dry, calm, and mild ; and Mr. Keir had luncheon served out to the royal party on the lawn in front of Kindrogare isi:OSe. The :cirty seemed to be in high spirits, and after a shore ate at Kind Tog o thy: :Proceeded on to Dunkeld. It is expec ted that her Ifejesty will stay at is..:: / ce l d" house for eight or ten days. The visit is of a strictly private nature. ROYAL CoLLEGE OF Synotrorts.— From the annual report of this institution it appears that from Mid summer-day 1865 to Midsummer-day, 1866, the income of the college amounted to 10,993/. 7a. 7d., derived princi pally from the fees paid by the students for diplomas, which produced the sum of 8,542/. 3s. The disbursements amounted to 12,6411. Is. 4d., of which sum 3,6101. be. 6d. was paid in fees to council and examiners. Salaries and wages is, put down at 3,101/. 14s. 10c1., and Pensions, 498/. 12a. The government and parochial authorities have received for stamps, taxes, and Intel., 1,130/. 8.. Id. In prizes and lectures, the council has distributed nearly 2001., and in the present and succeeding year for prices alone a sum of 194/. 10s. will be uttered for competition to the members of the college. The expenditure shows an excess of 1,6471. 13s. 9d. over the receipts. During the past year the court of examiners has held 54 meetings and examined 20 gentlemen for the fellowship, rejecting only ore. For the " primary." or anatomical and physiological examination, 497 candidates were examined antll36 referred back to their studies for three months, and during the same period 410 candidates were examined for their " pass ' or surgical and pathological knowledge, and 64 were rejected for six months. The midwifery board had four meetings, when 43 candidates were examined and seven were rejected. For the dental diploma only two candidates were examined, both of whom passed. From an analysis of the list it appears that there are at the pre sent time 1,314 fellows, viz., 324 by examination, 245 hono rary, and 745 by election. The members of the college are about 14,721. Great changes have taken place in the col lege during the past year, for we find that Mr. Luke, a twice elected president, has been displaced from the coun cil in favour of Mr. Charles Hawkins, the government inspector of anatomy. Mr. Hodgson, having retired from the court of examiners, has been replaced by Mr. Quern who has become a vice-president. Dm. Oldham and Lee have been displaced in favour of Drs. Barnes and Priestley. Mr. Thomas Bell having resigned has been succeeded by Mr. W. A. Harrison as a member of the dental board, and examiners in classics, mathematics, and French for the fellowship of the college have disappeared altogether, and their place supplied by the Royal College of Preceptors. DEATH OF HARRY GRIYSHAW, THE JOCKEY. — Are regret to have to announce the sudden and untimely death of Harry Grinishaw, the well-known jockey, who on Wednesday night lest waa thrown out of his trap on his return home from Northampton Races, end was killed on the spot. The name of the deceased jockey has long been familiar to the public as a successful rider, but he will be chiefly remembered for having steered Gladiateur to vio- tory in the Two Thousand Guineas, Derby, and SL Leger of last year. Grimshaw was originally apprenticed to the late Mr. John Osborne, the trainer, and repaid the care and instructions of his master by winning the Cam bridgeship e upon Red Eagle, in 18-59. For the last four or five years he had been closely identified with the French stable, and was an especial favourite of Count Lagrange. Grimshaw was about twenty-two or twenty three years of age at the time of his death, and it was only some three months since that he married one of the daughters of his former employer, Mr. Osborne. The sud denness and shocking nature of the event has created a most painful sensation among the racing community, by every member of which the deceased jockey was held in the greatest respect. EXTRAORDINARY FELONIES BY A SERVANT GIRL. —A singular case of felony came before the Whiteburch (Salop) magistrates at their last sitting. Emma Lewis, a quiet, respectable -looking girl, 19 years of age, was charged with having stolen from her master a coat, a pair of child's boots, a pair of kid gloves, a dress, a hat, 21b. of sugar, a quarter of a pound of tea, and a quantity of bread and cheese. The prisoner wee a domestic servant in the house of the prosecutor, and on Thursday week, on the return home of her mistress after a short abseece, the prisoner informed her that a man, whose personal appear , since she described with great minuteness, had entered the , house, and, after threatening to murder her if she raised an alarm, had absconded with a portion of the articles enumerated above. Early on the follow ing morning the prosecutor was awakened by a violent screaming, and on inquiring the cause was told by , the prisoner that " the man in the slop " had been there again and committed further depredations. The prosecutor, , greatly alarmed, then called in the police, who . put into action a simultaneous inquiry in every town and village for some distance around for " the man in the slop," but without success. On Tuesday the prisoner gave an alarm , far the third time, which was followed, as before, by the absence of other articles of property. A careful examina tion of the state of the house proved, however, that no , entrance had been effected from the outside, and suspicion being thus directed towards the prisoner, her room was searched, when the whole of the missing property, with t the exception of the bread and cheese, was discovered. The prisoner offered no defence, and was ememitted for trial.
