hoTttng intelligence. NORTHAMPTON AUTUMN MEEIING. WIDUBDA7. The attendance today we; even more limited than that at yesterday, and the course and stand presented • compa ratively deserted appearance. The thin attendance on the course was probably influenced by the weather a good deal, is the wind blew in violent gusts during the after noon, and rain wan several times threatened t but fortu nately it kept off until just after the spurt had concluded, when there was • heavy storm, and the course was soon cleared of spectators. The racing was decidedly an im provement upon that of yesterday, the fields being larger, and the finishes more interesting and exciting, but the afternoon was so unoomfortable that there was no enthu siasm. Racing commenced at half-past one o'clock with the Harlestun Nursery, which, although set as the LA MOO of the day in the order of running pub lished in the morning papers, was allowed to take the plane of the Northampton Handicap at the request ot the stewards, who probably foresaw that the laid-mentioned race would be little better than • walk-over. This ar rangement was made after the order of running as first fixed hail been circulated. Retty was weighed for in the Harlesten Nursery, but owing to the mare not being on the spot, the number was only displayed about • minute on the telegraph board. The various races being fully described below.need no deecriptiou in this place. During the intervals of sport there was some betting on the Cesarewitch sail Cambridgeshire, but nothingiaensational took,place. At the George Hotel in the morning nothing was done, and the only offer was 9to 1 sgst Thalia. On the course Honesty maintained his position, and was the sub ject of occasional investments at 11 to 2, which price, however, was always obtainable. Blinkuolie was not so firm, as after 9to 1 had been laid 10 to 1 was offered. Romping Girl at 33 to I was entrusted with a little money, as was also King's Growth 110 to 1. The other transactions were limited to offers. For the Cambridgeshire several horses were hacked at comparatively long prices, 1000 to 40 being taken about Actma, and the like odds to • smaller amount about Satyr, whilst Julius, the Maid of Mashain filly, and Arwourer were each backed at 1000 to M.

Covey) THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1867 this is a church of England school ?" " Yes," he was numerated. " Oh," he said, " low church ?" as if requesting that the bey should be supplied with beer rather than I porter, or something of that sort. (Laughter.) Observe the sequeL He did not stop for a reply, and went away. For four years the boy remained at the school, and never once for te whole of that time did the father ask a ques tion as to the religious discipline through which his son passed. This indifferentism had much increased of late. It was some years since Mr. (iirdlestone, of Kingswinford, expressed himself to the effect that dissent, or religious dissension, was sin—not necessarily the sin of dis senters or any given party, but it implied that there had been sin somewhere. They did not hear much of such views now, but of the anti , dogmatic crusade much was daily heard from the iThintivati of the largest latitudinarianism. Those who felt these things should endeavour to press them more than they did on the public mind, and urge that the prayer in their Liturgy about divisions did mean some thing. Of all the strange Utopias ever propounded the most foolish, as it was commonly understood, was summed up in the phrase, " Let us agree to differ." He fully admitted it, in the sense that no religious differ ence of opinion should lead them to launch out anathemas and denunciations, or make pharisaical boasts of personal superiority. He was not urging anything so hopeless as the abeolute agreement of all the laity of the country in every point of religious belief. What he was espe cially urging was, that the essential evil was when differ ences of opinion were made the ground of schism and separation. It was separation—congregations worshipping apart and independently—that marked the divergence from the apostolic model that he referred to. If the sense of the evil of this dissent was more acute, the religious mind of the country might set itself to con sider how it might be met and remedied. If the church was ever to hope to include within its folds the great body of the people, it must obtain, or regain, liberty of internal action, freedom of self-regulation, and the power of self adaptation to the needs of her time. (Applause.) This, he said, was solely a church question, for as far as he was aware other ;reli g ious bodies had freedom without stint, no man forbidding them ; but the church of England had it not. It might be said that she had it not because she was an established church. That was • large ques tion into which he would not pretend to enter, but he would say just this with respect to the liberty of action, that he did not go to the length of meaning that the established church should do anything in pur suance of that liberty which was not binding in law, and which was without the concurrence of the state. All the church, as he conceived, could demand of her assem blies was a full and unfettered leave to deal, in the first instance, with any or every part of its own system. It could not but be, that in the consideration of such • matter, practical questions would spring up continually. So at that point they would have to inquire what was the separate action of the church ? What were these as semblies? What voice do they or should they utter? He believed that the great majority of those present looked upon the church as an organic entity. If he were asked to define the scope or limits of the freedom of action of which he bad spoken, he should not hesitate to reply that neither by external coercion or general internal regula tion did he wish to see any such limits assigned. He had always thought one of the slight indications of weakness in that vigorous, healthy movement, was that some seemed to think it necessary to lay down the principle of adhe rence in every respect to the letter of the church's formularies. They had seen that in New Zealand they were free to deal without impediment in regard to existing formularies or th e translation of the Bible. He would claim for any national church entire liberty to con sider any question of Christian doctrine or discipline—he would exclude, of course, the Holy Scriptures ; but at the same time he did not desire to see any substantial change in the doctrines of the church of England, nor did he mean to deny any fundamental Christian truth to which they ought to adhere. He considered that the limit, of such doctrines ought not to be so laid down as to be beyond the touch of revision. The churches should be left free to judge for themselves at all times as to what should be. He particularly dissented from the view of those falsely modest, over-timid, and somewhat faithless persons, as he considered them, who represented the English church of the present day as less able than the church of the reformation, or the Caroline period, to deal with such questions. He could not but think that, in the present position, to call upon the church of England to open her doors to dissenters was very much like calling upon a man to open the door of his room when he was bound and chained to • pillar in that room. He supposed, then, that at such • time one might make such suggestions as these :—That the phraseology rot some parts of the Athatissian Creed should be amended and made more clear ; that the damnatory clauses should be omitted as not specially suitable to this creed, and to no other document, as Habil to be understood in the sense generally disclaimed, and inasmuch as in • reasonable sense their substance was necessarily implied ; that if it be true that the term " new birth," as need in the Scriptures, always implied the conscious execution of a responsible will, its Latin equivalent, " regeneration " might be advantageously replaced, and that without the least derogation from the spiritual canoe of the ordinance in all such cases some other precise term in the baptism of infants who are not yet possessed of that responsible will ; that in some sense the engage manta undertaken by sponsors might be differently ex pressed from what they were, so as to convey more accu rately what the church really expected from them ; that it is desirable that the church should contain some defi nition of the term " inspiration -" that the meaning of the term sacrament should be in the ' same way extended in ac cordance with natural meaning and prescriptive usage ; that the language of the Thirty-nine Articles should be revised, and made lees technical and scholastic • that in the 11t h article the word " only " should be omitted and replaced by " some " after the words "justifies by faith," as in direct and verbal contradiction to the Ist James ; and that a new translation of the Holy Scriptures was called for by an increased knowledge of the original lan guages—eepecially the Hebrew—in the interests of truth and for the defends of the faith itself. (Applause.) The Rev. GIORGI VINABLIS then read his paper on the same subject. He maintained that the object desired could be brought about without any sacrifice of doctrine on the part of the church, and that the work could be done by the church itself. They must be catholic in their doings if they called themselves the catholic church. Never ought a church to close—Gond apply:tad—never out a day to pass, without some duly authorised service in it, and those services should be varied. He also advo cated four services—alai varied—on the Sunday, the fourth to contain a little extempore prayer. They seemed deter mined not to alter their Prayer Book, but let the few explanatory remarks in the Prayer Book be enlarged. Such a kindly explanation would bring back many dis senters without injuring the conscience of any churchman. The hymnology of the nonconforming was very beauti ful, and he thought that one of the hymns that they sang that morning was written by a nonconformist. Let the nonconformists come forward in • generous and kindly spirit, and let them be received in such a spirit. Heists' to the Wesleyan, be did not see why, if she should be re ceived, there should not be permission for them to hold many of their extempore prayer meetings, class meetings, and the like. He looked for a gradual and individual return rather than in any great addition. Many nonconformists now only desired some more liberty in the church, in order to return to the catholic and apostolic church. The church must remove stumbling blocks. and be more thoroughly in practice what they all believed holy and catholic in her principle. All that was wanted could be done, and might be done, when convocation had made itself power ful as it ought to be, and supplemented by diocesan synods. (Applause.) Without convocation be saw no hope of the unity that was desired. (Hear, hear.) Of some nonconformist, there was no hope, becluse of the errors of their doctrine ; but these were only • small minority. There must be something wrong about the church to have permitted nonconformity, to enable it to have got to such • head as now. In the attempts to compile a liturgical service, an thems, surplices, and the like adopted among many of the nonconformists, there were indications of • preparation for such a union as ho contended could well be brought about by the exenue of love, and greater variety and liberality in practice in the church of England and Ireland. (Applause.) The PRIIMINT announced with regret that Archdeacon Mackenzie was prevented by domestic affliction from being present to read his paper, but his place would be taken by The Rev. Canon VINARLIB, Precentor of Lincoln Cathedral, who read a paper, which bad been carefully prepared. After defining what be regarded as the inter pretation of the terms chnrchmanship and nonconformity, he proceeded to describe what he regarded as " necessary to the clearing away of misconceptions ," and then " the faithful dscharge of the covenanted duty of the church's ministry." (The meeting welcomed with applause the striking of the bell which indicated that the speaker bad only five minutes left to him, end still more unmistakeably the last strike, and the rev. gentleman had to retire before he had quite completed his paper.) Mr. J. N. LANGLEY then said—ln considering this qua. tion, as we must do, from a dissenter's point of view, I think the reasons which keep men from our communion may be classed under these two beads:—let, • traditional feeling that there is more room for active spiritual move ment forindividual efforts among dissenters than in the church ; that they have more life, more liberty, in one word, more religion than we have. 2nd, • conviction that our whole standing ground, in assuming to be the National Church, is radically wrong, and that dissent is a solemn duty which every Christian man owes alike to his country, his conscience, and his God. I believe it is our bounden duty, as churchmen, to give a practical refutation of the first class of objections ; and that the second, though now put forward most prominently and persistently, would then assume a much less formidable appearance than it does at present. The best argument in favour of an established, or a national church, is to be found in the earnest zeal and self-denying holiness of the members of that church. la it true then that there is a lack of spiritual life and liberty in the church of England ? If so, let us openly and honestly avow it, and strive in God's strength to supply the lack. And let us see whether this fatal deficiently is the result of the church's teaching and principles, or whether it ham arisen in spite of that teaching. Is the fault in us churchmen, or in the church ? One of the very first charges brought against us, and most keenly felt by many earnest nonconformists in justifying separation from tui, is, that the church leaves no room for lay influence and activity ; that, practically, • layman. so le duty is to hew, to obey, and to—pay; that the pare= does everything, rules everything, and is everything. Must we not plead guilty to the charge 7 1, for one, with shame admit its force and truth. Every Wesleyan chapel and school reminds me of a sad and pain ful page in our church's history. I think all are agreed that such • schism as that of John Wesley's would not be allowed to take place now ; and it is painful to think how much better and stronger the church would have been at this day, and—may I not say ?—how much better the Wesleyans themselves would have been, had that schism thank God that the members of the English church have learnt better now, and have resolved to wipe off this heavy reproach. This question of lay agency has • most important bearing upon my present subject, and it is • I question that is not to be solved by the united action of the church in recognising a lay order of sub-deacons or readers—though, as • first step, thatis of immense value — but by the individual action of each clergyman, by his seeking out and heartily welcoming any and every form of lay help. I believe that by this means alone hundreds of earnest men and women would be insensibly won over to our church, not by any proselytism, but by the stronger attraction of spiritual affinity, and would become our most valuable adherents. Clergymen are too apt to wrap them selves up in a strong exclusive class spirit, which leads them to ignore, as fellow-helpers, all beyond their one favoured class, with the occasional exception of the school wester and the parish clerk, and that by virtue of their official relation to themselves. Is this distrust of lay agency the result of the church's Meshing! I think not, when I remember that no church recognises more fully than our own the layman's pert in every act of public worship ; that even in the Eucharistic service she retains for the sole use of the people the very expressions which have been handed down from St. Cyril (I.D. 325), that she commits to them her higheet utterance of praise in the " Sanctus " and the " Gloria in Excelsis ;" that she thus teaches most emphatically " the priesthood of the people." I cannot think that we are acting as her faithful sons in thus zealously guarding against the extension of lay agency. Closely skin to this is the charge brought against the monotony of our service ; and as that service is even still rendered in some churches in one dull round, without regard to fast or festival, is there no truth in this charge also! Can we wonder at pious men and women finding relief in listening to the extempore prayers of • minister even though these prayers can but reflect the very lights and shades of his own personal experience? And is not the remedy in our own hands? I firmly be- 1 lieve that due regard to the different seasons of the church's year would prove a mighty attraction to many a pious soul ' and would furnish a refreshing variety, which can never be obtained from ministration, however gifted and earnest, where the hymn is the only possible act of united worship, and everything else is left to one man. I can only say that such has been my expe rience. I cannot, for instance, wonder at dissenters not caring to come over to the communion, when they see so many churches closed on Ascension Day, and the church's law and order thus coldly set made by her. And I think it would be quite in harmony with the spirit of our Prayer-book, and would supply • real lack, if we had • few more special services, especially for thanksgiving and I should much like to see a special and more jubilant form of prayer and praise for our great f estivals of Christmas, Easter, Ascenxion, and Whitauntide. The attention of the speaker on this subject has been in vited, by the editor of the CAvrciesson, to a very interest ing letter, which appeared in the columns of that paper, under the signature of " A Dissenter against my Will." The writer urges the modification of the damnatory clauses of the Athanssian creed, or its optional use, as is the case in the American episcopal church. The conclusion of the letter deserved quotation : " Nobody would venture to propose than clauses if it were now to be done for the first time ; and by the freemasonry of common sentiments be can tell of lips closed and Prayer-books shut when they are read from regal pews at Windsor, in many a cathedral stall, and still more humble parish churches. This point once settled, I, for one should begin to feel that I was not non conformist, but schismatic ; at present I do not. I wish I could be made to feel that for one hour; that should suffice, for the next I would confess and seek the remedy with a gladness I cannot express." Words like these from one who describes himself as " • dissenter whose forefathers resigned large livings in 1662," plainly show that the church of England is regaining much of her influence. Nor can I refrain from saying that, as a churchman, I heartily agree with the sentiment of this writer. I cannot think the faith of any human being in this cardinal doctrine of the Trinity is strengthened one whit by the occasional use of the creed ; and it may fairly be questioned if the faith of many is not shaken by the offensive manner in which that great doctrine is expressed. I may say that its stern note of exclusion jars with • peculiar pang on my feelings on our great festival days. Another point that deserves notice is the practice of requiring • two years' silence from any nonconformist minister before admitting him to holy orders. I am not insensible to the argument that may he adduced in favour of some such term of probation, as • test of the sincerity and the purity of a man's motives, bat I do think that the term might be shortened, and in some cases entirely dispensed with, as it has the appearance of branding a man with • special stigma for having been • nonconformist minister, and of bolding out • very grudging and tardy aboollitline. I am not unaware of crying abuses in the church, of lazy and absentee rectors, of the abominable and shameful practice of selling advowrions and other glaring abuses of patronage. I am not prepared to advocate that the power of the ap pointment and dismissal of • minister should be left to the congregation, but I do think that In certain cams the congregation should have the means of obtaining relief from the Incompetence or negligence of the clergyman, and if we as churchmen show ourselves in earnest in trying to get rid of these abuses, they will then no longer seem as a justification for separation from us, but many dissenters will feel they can do more good by uniting with us to purify the church from within than by remaining separate. Nor can I even think the vexed question of church rates can long furnish any just ground of separa tion and opposition. The leaden( of opinion have fully expressed their readiness to sweat to any arrangement which may secure the rights of parishioners, and at the same time relieve the consciences of those who object to pay them. Above all, let us show by our intercourse with each other that the communion of the church of England is not based upon unity of opinion, but upon unity of worship. This I believe to be the erowning glory of our church in its relation to the different nonconforming bodies. In the fact of so many men of diverse and op posing sentiments ministering at her altars, I see, not the proof of • cowardly oompromise which could not have survived the first rude breath of opposition, but an honest Christian comprehension, of which faith and worship are the watchword and she bond of union. We need not fear the existence of conflicting opinions within the church while she is so truly catholic in her faith and worship, allowing no man and no party to exalt their own views into bonds of communion, and thus exhibiting • living protest against that idolatry of private judgment which makes every new opinion the basis of • new sect. But we are often told we have bartered away our freedom. Hence our opponents are very fond of talking of the noncon formist churches es " free" churches, and of the ex tempore prayer as " free prayer," and then by insinuation contrasting our enslaved position. Let us remember there is • freedom which brings no blessing—the freedom of lawless anarchy—when " there is no king in Israel" and " every man does that which is right in his own eyes." A savage or • bandit might speak of his life ea a " free" life, compared with the more artificial and restrained life of civilised society. Surely there is • nobler and a truer freedom than that—the freedom under righteous law. Would that, as churchmen, we could rise to the height of the freedom we poetess—the freedom of • comprehensive worship—the freedom which recognises the common bond of fellowship—the pulsations of the common divine life amid diversities of opinion and divergences of religious sympathy—the freedom which in every utterance of com mon prayer unites the living present with all th e most sacred memories of the past—with " the glorious company of the apostles," " the noble army of martyrs," which belts the earth with one hand of fellow-worshippers, each in one voice uttering the one creed, and with one song of praise approaching the one altar and commemorating the one great sacrifice. Give me this freedom, and I care for little else. But I have said nothing &oat what seems the strongest objection of all—the alleged sinfulness of the union between church and state. In my inmost heart I believe that if the church shows herself fully alive to her responsibilities as a national church, with a zealous and ex tended episcopate, • truly earnest clergy, an awakened people, the objections to • state church will be most effectually silenced. I believe that such a church would throw • light upon the whole controversy, that men would read the Bible with • new interest ; and would find akin to it that living unity which it seems to have well nigh lost—they would feel that God would not be so self-contradietory as to make • national church the distinctive glory of one dispensation, and as according to our opponents, the distinctive shame of another. That would soon learn to consider that hard division between things sacred and secular—between man's social and spiritual nature as false alike to Scripture—and to reason to human nature, and to history. One word more. Brought up as I was outside the pale of the church, I humbly and devoutly thank God that he led me by the way that seemed to Him best into her commu nion. I was won by the attraction of spiritual affinity, and I would to God that, not only for our sakes, but chiefly for their own, my nonconforming brethren could be led to the same result. I do not pretend to say that I agree with everything, but I have found something better and higher ! than agreement. I have found • unity much mare sacred than the bond of opinion, and in her manlier faith, her ' fuller worship, her richer life, I hope to spend my remain ing days on earth." Mr. Langley was enthusiastically cheered at frequent intervals, especially when he com plained of the monotonous manner in which services are conducted by many clergymen, and upheld the necessity for the frequent opening of churches. The Venerable Archdeacon DrifISON then came forward, and was loudly cheered. He said that they were become advanced reformers, but they were going too fast for him. He had stood on other platforms of church congresses, but be had never before laird advocated • reform in the church's creeds. (Rapturous applause.) He could not agree with Lord Lyttelton any more than with the rest of the speakers that night. It seemed to him that the union that was desired was to be brought about by departing from the church's system. Now, he maintained that what was desired was that the church system should be fully carried out. (Renewed applause.) He contended that most of the schisms@ had arisen fremsseh departures. (Applause.) His friend Lord Lyttelton had advocated an alteration in the Prayer-book. Lord LITTELTON—What I advocated was that the church in her own assembly should have liberty to deal with her own formula. (Applause.) Archdeacon DEXIBCOII—WeII, I don't think that the church has any rook liberty. (Chem and counter cheers.) After having early in life opposed an alteration of the Prayer-book, he was not now, in his later years, about to advocate such a change. (Applause.) He was not going to consent to such an alteration for the sake of noncon formists, because he did not believe that by any such change they would thereby bring back one nonconformist. (Loud applause.) They must make the church of England more a reality than she now was. (Renewed applause.) They most let the people know what they . were to join. (Applause.) He bad heard some one saying there was a difference between the expressions cath ol ic and re formed. He drew no such distinction, for every thing that was reformed was catholic. He never knew ' anything gained by any species of compromise. It was a very common thing in politics, but he was not at all clear that Europe had any greater respect for England because she had introduced compromise into her politics ; and Christendom would not have any more respect for the church of England if she introduced compromise into her religion. It was proposed to alter it to suit the time, and he supposed the next thing would be to propose to alter the Bible to suit the times. It was already attempted by the waters of " Pews and Reviews," and by Dr. Colenso. Here were two aspects presented to them, and how were the nonconformists to know to which aspect they were to look! Political reform meant bringing in something new, but ecclesiastical 'dorm meant bringing in something old, and when they threw themselves back upon the first century of Christianity then they would have a title to the people's respects . (The tinkling of the bell here put an end to the archdeacon's address. The audience, by their applause, expressed their desire for its continuance, but the president said that the rule must be observed.) Earl NICIAON approved of what Kr. Langley had said relative to lay agency ; and thought that the venerable archdeacon had misunderstood what had been said by pre vious speakers. He (Earl Nelson) could not go all the way with Archdeacon Denison in his extreme Comma. Viscount SANDOII Dioke of the great things that non conformists had done in the Potteries and the other manu facturing parts of the county ' • and showed that it was not alight thingtotalk of bringing becksuch men tothe church, calling upon them to thereby sever themselves from old associations. (Applause.) These men had stepped in, and had done the work which the church herself had neg lected. He spoke of the labours of these Chris tian men, not only from observation in his own °acity, but also, through the assistance of the Bishop of London, of what they were doing in certain parts of the east end of London, where religion at one time was kept alive by the efforts of nonconformists. It was only digi. fied on the part of churchmen to acknowledge the value of the labours of nonconformist*. (Applause.) Speakers at church congregate must not leave out of recollection what was taking place out of doors. (Applause.) Let the church, as the venerable archdeacon had said, put herself in order. Let there be unity in essentials—though with great variety in form of worship-ooud applause)—unity in the belief of the inspiration of Scripture, and attachment to the pure doctrines of the Reformation. (Applause.) Their non conformist brethren would be much more likely thereby to come into their arms than by any altering of their for mularies. (Loud applause.) He asked if it wag not pos sible, as time went on, to acknowledge the position of the two bodies. (Applause.) After some remarks from the Rev. W. Clarke, of Taun ton, Mr. Charles Binning, and the Rev. Dr. Gasett, The Right Bon. Joss Norma moved that the ques tion before the congress, viz., the admission of noncon formists to the church, should be referred to a committee to be appointed by the Central Executive Committee, with instructions to report to the congress. . . The Bishop of Ehv seconded the proposition. His lord ship said that it might seem somewhat paradoxical to say that he agreed with everything that bad been said that evening ; but he did feel that all the speakers, notwith standing the diversity of opinion, bad aimed at something highly desirable. (Hear bear.) He was of opinion that the diversity of o pinion shown that night could not be settled at that meeting, and therefore it via that he seconded the resolution. They were all yearning for unity— for unity at home and unity abroad—and be thought that in order to secure that object they should first establish unity at home. (Hear, hear.) He didn't like ward establishments in any way whatever. He considered Christianity as one, and the church of Christ as one. It was only because there was • disunion that led the state to select one form of worship from another ; and he denied that that was a Christian establishment in its proper sense. It was monstrous that the state should be allowed to choose • form of worship which appeared to it the most nodal or respectable, and then adopt it is the religion of the nation. The true principle of Christianity was that religion should bring the nation into the church, and that there should be no division. Some discussion ensued as to whether the motion could be put. Archdeacon DENISON was of opinion that the matter ought to be made a matter of debate, as it was the opinion of some that the resolution would lead to certain alters. tions in the constitution of the congresa which would lead to serious and sensible difficulties. He suggested that the proposition should be postponed. Several gentlemen pointed out that it was a rule of the congress that no opinion of majorities or minorities should go forth from the congress. The PRESIDENT said that if he determined to put the resolution there must necessarily be considerable debate, and therefore he hoped that it would not be pressed. The Right Hon. J. Napier consented to withdraw the motion. . . . The PRZAIDENT remarked th►t be must say that the matter could not be entertained b the congress, as be thought no good might come of it. !tear, hear.) The meeting closed with the A Moamort PRAYKIL—The Deseret News has a long account of the dedication of a Mormon meeting-house in one of the towns of Utah. The proceedinp were under the auspices of Brigham Young. but the " dedicatory prayer" was delivered by Elder Taylor. This prayer was a very remarkable production. It began at the base of the building and went to the to of the steeple, mentioning every item between thews ta, and calling for blessings upon each separately :—" lees, we pray Thee, the house, in all its parts, that is built or rests upon this ground ; bless the foundation-stones thereof, and all of the stone wall that composes the foundation ; together with the lime, the sand and clay of which the mortar is composed that bind it together ; bless also the columns, and their bans and caps, that are placed in the foundation, or basement, to support the building. Bless also the beams, the joists, the columns, the flooring, the lintels and all the wood-work pertaining thereto ; including the beams and binders, that compose or sustain the tower. Bless also the plates, the rafters, and beams that sustain the roof, and all the ties and fasten ings thereof ; together with the sheeting and the shingles; the tin, zinc, or other material used upon the roof or tower ; the ball and vane that rat upon the top of the tower ; the bell and its fastenings, and everything per taining thereto. Bless also the door frames and their casings, and the doors thereof, together with the hinges, locks, and fastenings. We ask Thee also to bless the windows, and their frames and casings ; and the sash, the glase,and the putty wherewith they are fastened." These are only about half the things specified by Elder Taylor. He goes on to the joists, lath and nails, the paint and varnish, the " adobies of which the upper part of the building is built," and other items too numerous for us to mention, as the auctioneers say. We should think that his knowledge as well as his memory must have been severely tried ; and we venture to say that few who have ever delivered dedicatory prayers could give such • preo tical account and complete catalogue of the details of the building dedicated.—hen York Times, Sept. 18. THE CHOLERA AT MALTA. —The Malta Times of the 26th Sept. says:—The total number of deaths from cholera amongst the troops up to the 25th inst. was 16 men and five women and children. principally in the 14th Regiment. There were two attacks at the beginning of the week in the lit Battalion Bth Regiment, one of which terminated fatally ; but happily they have not been followed by any others. The poor fellow was seised very euddenly whilst playing in the hand on the Palace-square. Re was to have been married on the following morning, but before that time he was a corpse, and the chaplain, who was to have married him, had the sad ogles to perform of committing his body to the grave. A sergeant of the Royal Engineers, who had been three years at Pembroke camp, where the cholera Ent broke out in the 14th Regiment, has fallen • victim to the prevailing malady. There was quite • panic in the camp the other day amongstthe women and children who were left behind when the wing of the regiment quartered there was removed to Gozo, two women and • child having been attacked with cholera and died in a few hours. The remainder of the women and children were at once con veyed in ber Majesty's steamer Hearty to Coto, and since the change there have been no fresh cases amongst them ; but * death was reported on the gird inst. of • soldier be longing to the wing now encamped lon Fort Chambray, in that island. With this exception, we are happy to state, sa far as our information extends, that the health of the troops in Goso is most satisfactory.

Some 50 men are in hospitalorithout including those who have been transferred to the Sanatorium at Citta Vecchia.

Mr. Buchanan, solicitor, appeared for the complainant, and the defendant oonducW his own caw. Mr. Francis Onliter, & commercial traveller, residing at Hampstead-heath Hotel, said that the bill was give n t o him by a gentleman named Steer, and that he was ine drawer, and Mr. Steer was the acceptor. H e s.,* it to the defendant with a letter troth Mr. Steer, an d re . quested that the bill or the proceeds should be returned in three days. At the expiration of that time he called upon the defendant, but did not see him. On sabiequeut occasions he spin called, but the defendant always mul e excuses for not giving up the bill, until on the 20th Sept et .. ber he admitted that be had disposed of it, and applied the proceeds to his own purposes. Defendant cross-examined the witness at some length on matters irrelevant to the point in dispute, and deni e d having received any letter with the bill of exchange.

The attendance at the clubs today was pretty good, considering the numerous ont-door attractions, and • fair amount of business was tran.acted. tlO the Cesarewitch, Honesty kept firm, the outside price laid being 11 to 2, and at the finish offers did not exceed to 1. Idlinkhoolie kept his place as second favourite with equal steadiness, and after the friends of Mr. Chaplin's cult had vainly endeavoured to obtain to 1, they were fain to accept 100 to 12. Montgonbert's position was decidedly improved. 11 to 1 was taken to a small amount, and layers then limited their offers to • point less. The principal feature of the day, however, was a demonstration in favour of Maid of Masham filly, upon whom in the course of the morning several hundreds were invested, down to as little as 100 to 6. At one period Thalia had an unhealthy appearance, and receded to 20 to 1, offered ; but she sub sequently recovered herself somewhat, and 100 to 7 was taken kindly. Armourer was in decidedly bad odour, re ceding to 100 to 6, and an unmistakeable desire was mani fested to lay against him. The horses in the second rank exhibited little or no change, hut among the outriders Julius was backed at 1,000 to to, and Harpenden, Guy of Warwick, and NU .118 rompilius for trifling amounts at their respective quotations.

The congress re-assembled yesterday morning in the Agricultural Hall, at ten o'clock, under the presidency of the Bishop of Licit/gm). Prayer having been offered up, a paper was read upon " Church Patronage" by the Rev. J. btackarness, who was followed by Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P. Papers were then read " On the position of Stipendiary Curates" by the Rev. J. Haloomb and the Rev. G. O. Browne; and the Yen. Archdeacon Allen, Earl Nelson, Lord Dartmouth and others addressed the meeting upon the subject The afternoon sitting was occupied in discussing the question of " Church Education of Young People and .Adults." papers upon which were read by Mr. T. Salt, jun., of Weeping-cross, Stafford, sad the Rev. Dr. Lowe. The Dean of Chester and the Rev. Canon Norris also de livered addresses upon the subject. The proceedings, as usual, terminated with the bene diction. RITUALIRM. During the forenoon a meeting of clergy was held in the School of Art, Darlington-atreet, to organise • larger meeting in London in the month of November, to ta.ke such action as might be thought necessary, in consequence of the report of the Ritual Commission, and to deprecate any change in the law of the church of England relative to ceremony. The Venerable Archdeacon DIMION presided, and there were also upon the platform the Bishop of Ten. nessee, Bishop Twelle (Orange River), the Dean of York, the Ron. C. L. Wood, Mr. Robt. Brett, Mr. Shaw Stewart, and Colonel Baggott. The Venerable Chairman stated that the meeting was altoge ther preliminary, and be did net desire himself or that the speakers should go into the question of ritual ism. That would be done at the greater meeting that they were then assembled to organise, and which would be attended by churchmen from all parts of she kingdom. Nocriais so important as the present had occurred within his remembrance in the history of the church of England ; and it was not what was commonly called ritualistic. Be had been now some 35 years • priest in the church of England, and he had not seen any occasion to change the order of divine service in which he was brought up, and in which he had endeavoured to teach the doctrines of the sacrament as they were commonly taught in the church of England. He was not one of the ritualistic body, but he bad made up hie mind not to attempt to interfere with what priests and congregations saw to be good letdown= and calculated to promote the teaching of the doctrinesof the church of England, and especially of the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist. Such an interference was not to be per ' witted. (Applause.) He should have maid the same had there not been—se there undoubtedly was—any division of and schools in the church of England ; but when he Forn i :l i parties in the church of England who fell short in their practice, in the mere letter, to say nothing of the spirit of the church of England, parties who systematically broke the law of the church of England—(hear, hear) — and when he saw parties attempting to interfere with those who did not do so and taking advantage of popular prejudices hounding the people of England on to the backs of the ritualista, then it was for all who adhered to the church of England, whether ritualists or not, to steed together side by tide. (Loud applause.) The first resolution, which was proposed by the Rev. R. Brirrr, of Stoke Newington, recognised the importance of united effort on the part of churchmen to maintain their rights and liberties, and to resist any attempt to change the existing law of the church in reepectiot ceremonial ; and it called upon churchmen to assemble in London at a day and place to be fixed in November for the purpose of me moralising the Ritual Commission and to take such other steps as might be necessary. Mr. Brett said that be had been assaulted by a mob for upholding the ritual of the church and a few windows had been broken, but he and his colleagues were prepared to suffer anything in defenoe of such a cause. He allied upon all churchmen to stand together in this matter. (Applause.) The Hon. C. L. WOOD seconded the motion, and it was supported by Mr. Mayo and the Rev. J. W. Lane. It was carried unanimously. Colonel BAGOOT proposed the next resolution, which de sired those present to give their names in favour of the meeting. Mr. SHAW STEWART seconded the motion, and it was supported by the Rev. R. IW. Pendell and by the Rev. Mr. Mackonechie, of St. Alban., Holborn, who said that the ritual question was distinctly a layman's question. The only desire on the part of the clergy was, to give the laity their rights in this matter, and at the same time to do their work amongst the laity more effectually. The sentiments of the speakers were received with ap pbsuse, and the rev. chairman experienced some little diffi culty in preventing one or two of the speakers from going more fully into the question than he thought was desirable at the preliminary stage of the movement. A vote of thanks was pulsed to the chairman by thaDean of Yon' and by Bishop Tens., and It was duly acknow ledged. The Dean of Yong said he could state with authority that the audience would have been twice as numerous if room could only have been found for them. There were perhaps 400 persons in the room, which wee crowded in every part. RE-UNION OP NONCONFORMISTS WITH THE CHURCH. At the evening meeting of the Church Congress on Tuesday (the Bishop of Lichfield presiding), Lord Lyttelton read • paper "On the best means of bring ing Nonconformists into union with the Church." He said the subject as Mat set down was, " the best means of bnnging about unity of doctrine and worship in this country." He was no party to the alteration nor did he object to it, though if any thing be should bare preferred the old form of the subject. He should like to look at the subject as • whole, and not 1 confider what others had to do without acknowledging they had much to do themselves. He would not confound unity with uniformity ; he was willing to give the term religious unity the largest sense compatible with having • definite Christian craienclust. He did not care how few or simple the elements of such • doctrine might be, but be could not treat the subject se that Christianity was nothing more than • nebula of sentiment and rehgion. What occurred to him as • primary object to be obtained, if they would see • greater approach to agreement, was that people should see it was • matter of importance they should so agree. Many of the middle classes were with out any fixed religious truth, and it was a matter with which they were not in the least conoerued. The country would see additional evidence shortly in the report of the commission for inquiry into the state of education of the middle classes. That evidence would show that, in the matter in which the adult population might be considered to be most sensitive, the re 'Won' consideration and train ing of their children is showed the utmost indiffer ence to what their children were to be taught. The name of secular school was not liked, and they desired to send their children to schools where religious instruction wee given, bat bate the substance of what they learnt they did not inquire. He himself met with an instanced this lately. A respectable tradesman called on the head of • large middle class school, which was known to be of a decided high church character, with • view to placing his son there. He in. quired minutely into all that went on there, except the religions teaching. At the threshold, on leaving, he seemed to be mounded of something , and said, " I believe GUILDHALL. Joarph Athlllll and deorge I girds, t wo gallon stationed at the Naval Barraoks, were placed ►t the bar before Sir Robert W.

An old woman said that her husband was ve ,p 7 bad in bed. Jose Hardy, sworn—My brother (the prisoner) came home intoxicated last night, and demanded eighteenpeocri of mother to pay • porter with.

I asked him to be quiet, when be took ups short poker, with • point as sharp as a bayonet, and raid be was • good mind to " gouge my eye out" for interfering, I reasoned with him, and said, " I never did you any harm, and why should you come here and annoy poor old mother end father!"
