ALL things terrestrial come to an end ; whether dinners, balls, plays, sermons, festivals, or funerals; not excepting even the canonization of the blessed martyrs of Japan., whose saintahip has shivered at the gates of which the HOLY FATuzz is the concierge some two centuries and a half. The ceremony in St. Peter's was a magnificently " mounted" scenic display, such as no other temple of the lyric drama in Europe could equal in splen dour of effects and richness of details. If the Em- peter JULIAN bad been more of a modern philosopher than an antique bigh-churchman, be would have prophetically acquiesced in the transformation of his Pantheon into a new functional hierarchy, through the process of dogmatic development. Nothing has been lost of the old religion of Rome but a few names; what remains is the sediment of a sensual and senti- mental polytheism, peopling the sties with the . _ patrons, and partisans, and patronesses of human interests and passions. The last Papal Allocution is purely Pagan in conception and design, if to be Pagan is to be as far removed as possible from the religion of charity, patience, and humi . . . lity, and from the worship which is offered in spirit and in truth. As to the decorations and ap pointments, the wax lights, the choral music, and the processions of embroidered vestments, man has been the dupe of these antics and artifices . . ever since his dramatic instinct was awakened ; ever since the soul became the creature and accomplice of the sense. The Church of Rome has been admirably served by the fertility of genius and art which Popes who were tasteful and sagacious heathens had the wit to employ in the composition of the legendary story of the Church ; and it is with an ill grace that foreign partisans of the Temporal Power pretend a common right to monuments built by Italian genius out of the treasuries of Italian States. Indulgences, it is true, and occasional jubilees, have in all times drawn ready money from the pockets of the faithful to the vaults of the Vatican, but these were not the resources that built the Basilicas. Out of th'e quarter of • million sterling collected last year in the name of Armee pence from the starving poor of the cities•of Europe, something may be available for the wax lights, but the Papal mercenaries and the Boraßox bauditti carry off the cream of the con tributions of Lyons, Dublin, and Southwark. Still the ceremonial at St. Peter's, which shook even honest Protestants with emotion the other day, represents a good round sum, and to the profane it looks uncommonly like one of those gorgeous revivals which are expected to renew the falling fortunes of the theatre. _ _ Nos togimxie► diltpr. When the lights are out and the echoes of the chants and hymns are hushed, and the devout are gone home, there re mains the Roman Question as menacing and as plain as before. Neither the Papal Allocution--certainly not inferior in vituperative energy to any speci mens of the liter►ture to which it belongs— nor the Address of the Bishops, which is but an amplified version of the Allocution, touches the question. Both would fain escape it under a cloud of angry verbiage. Much of this voci ferous wrath may be ascribed to the abundant inspiration with which every Cardinal, Patriarch, Bishop, or simple priest, came charged to the Con sistory ; much, perhaps, to that confusion between the two perfectly distinct questions of tempo ralities and doctrines which is the dominant fallacy of all Catholic declamation on the subject. His HOLIITESB mixes up the last German heresy with the last French brochure and the last English essays, and anathematizes them all in the lump. No Protestant will dispute the HOLY Fzniza'aright to condemn any book which he has no power to burn, ►nd we dare say the Positivist, the He gelian, and the candid sceptic will take his sentence without shrinking. It is only when the HOLY FATE= declares the temporal SOTO- reignty of the Holy See to be of divine origin and design, that we ask whether the foulest crimes with which the history of the Papacy is stained in every other page are of equally divineldescent. One would suppose that the history of the Temporal Power during the last eight centuries was a sealed book when we hear the " divine origin and sanction" of fraud and violence, of murder, incest, and adultery, solemnly affirmed from the Papal chair in behalf of the successors of ST. Pyrex. But the reply of the Bishops caps the Allocution in audacious contempt of facts. The Bishops ask how they could have fulfilled their duties towards the Church, if they had not found at Rome a temporal power such as that of the Popes, entirely independent of any foreign power, and the centre, so to speak, of universal concord. So that to exist solely and wholly by the grace of a French garrison is, in an inspired Episcopal sense , to be independent of any foreign power; and to be the instigator 'and abettor of incessant conspiracies against the peace of a neighbouring State is, according to the same Pentecostal inspiration, to be the centre of universal concord. Pies IX. denounces the detestable hypocrisy of men who talk of a free Church in a free State ; for though the Papacy claims to be overate from all States and to know no law but its own, the only freedom of the State it will acknowledge is subjection, and the only independence of the Church it will accept is domination. Such no doubt has been the clerical theory in all times and places ; but when the theory sits in the seat of government it ceases to be harmless. HOLY FATHER and Bishops, however, are careful to remind all Sovereigns that the cause of the Temporal Power is the reuse di the sonar' child principle in Europe, and that the eoresretone being loosened the whole edifice be shaken. In other words, arbitrary and lawless governmest at Rome wu a guarantee for arbitessy go- vernment at Naples, Paris, or Vienna. To give the Romans a Government of their choice is to deal a deadly blow to the Divine right of all hereditary thrones. It may be doubted whether this consideration is not a little out of date. But we gratefully accept it as an admission that the temporal power of the Papacy is, like any other human power, subject to time and fate. The Bishops actually believe that the Court of Rome is combating for " the right& of nations," when it depends for its own existence upon foreign aid. Apparently the rights of the Roman people, or even of the Italian nation, do not enter into the episcopal account. But why presume to take inspired Bishops to teak? True to the character of the Government they serve, they are equally unamenable to law and to common sense. Rising at last to an exalted strain, they swear to follow the HOLY FATHER " to prison and to death." This is cheap martyrdom—cheaper than the canonization of missionaries ; and we apprehend these rhetorical confessors will have almost as long to wait for martyrdom in our day as the Japanese martyrs have waited for their promotion.

It is with sincere regret we announce the death of Lord Canning, late Viceroy and Governor-General of India. The melancholy event happened this morning. His lordship expired at • quarter past six a.m., at his residence in Grosvenor-square. Ever since his return from India, about two months ago, Lord Canning suffered from the change of climate, but at the early stage of his illness it was thought rest and care would soon restore his impaired health. However, notwithstanding the best medical skill and greatest care, his lordship gradu ally became worse day by day, and during the last forty-eight hours not the remotest hopes were held out by his medical advisers to his friends. His lordship rallied wonderfully last evening, but only for • few hours. The Marchioness of Clauricarde has been in constant attendance on her brother throughout his fatal illness, and, it is almost needless to remark, is deeply affected by his death. The lamented nobleman, Charles John Canning, Earl and Viscount Canning, of Kilbraham, county of Kilkenny, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was the youngest of I the four children, and only surviving son of the Right Hoe. George Canning (the eminent statesman) and Joan, third and youngest daughter of General John Scott, of Balcoide, county Fife. He was born 12th Decem ber, 1812. In March, 1837, he succeeded to the viscountcy on the demise of his mother, who, the year after her husband died, was cra ted • visconntees, with re mainder to her only surviving son. The late peer married sth September, 1835, the Hoe. Charlotte Stuart eldest daughter of the late Lord Stuart de Rothe say, and sister of Louisa Marchioness of Waterford. He had the misfortune to lose his amiable sad beautiful wife, who died on the 18th of November last, after • abort illness, at Calcutta, during the absence of the earl, then on a farewell official tour in the distant provinces of India. Not leaving any issue,the titular honours of the family become extinct. The late Earl Canning, after undergoing the early course of a sound education, proceeded to Oxford Univer sity, and entered Christ Church, where he obtained, in 1833, the high honour of let class in clerics and god class in mathematics. He for some months had a seat in the House of Commons. hiving been elected member for Warwick in August, 1836, in opposition to Mr. Hob. hones, on conservative principles. In March the noosed. ing year he removed to the upper house by the demise of his mother. On the late Sir Robert Peel taking office in 1841, Lord Canning joined the government, and filled the pest of Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, under the late Earl of Aberdeen.up to January, when he was appointed Commmia &loner of Woods, &c. He retired at the break up of Sir Robert Peel's administration in July, 1846. Like many of his political friends, he continued out of office till the helm of public affairs was taken by the Earl of Aberdeen, in whose administration he accepted office as Postmaster General, which position be held from January, 1853, to July, 1855, when he was selected as successor to the late Marquis Dalhousie in the important post of Governor- General of India. In this brief sketch of his public life, adequate justice cannot be does to the transcendent abilities be dis played during one of the most Critical periods of our rule in India. From the outbreak of the mutiny at Meerut to the final euppression of the rebellion, he evinced uncommon energy end discretion, tempered with clemency. Indeed, his merciful decision in regard to several of the native troops whoa sympathies were with their corn. rides in arms against British domination, was severely com mented on by the press of India and in England et the time, bat now it is generally conceded that by the punishment of those alone proved guilty of deep crimee,h• acted judiciously. On leaving Calcutta, after administering the affairs of India as Governor-General and as Viceroy for six years, he was loaded with proofs of devotion from all clause of the peo ple such as no previous Governor-General had experienced. Lord Canning received the unanimous thanks of both houses of parliament in April, 1859, for his eminent civil services during the mutiny. He was also made an extra civil Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, in recognition of the approbation of his Sovereign, and in May, 1859, re. oared a further mark of favodr from her Majesty—be was by letters patent created an earl. His lordship would, bat for his premature death, have received on. of the vacant garters. The calls of the nobility, including the Earl Atwell, Lord Palmerston, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and nearly all the chief members of the government, to inquire after the health of the earl, have been very numerous. By the lamented death of his lordnip the families of the Duke of Portland, the Marquis and Marchioness of Cisnricards, the Right Hon. the Speaker sod Lady Char lotte Denisea, Lewd and Lady Howard de Weldon, the Coon tan Dowager of Woke, Lady Stuart de Bethany, liss Marchiooess of Waterford, Lord Henry Beatinck, the tees (Dowager) Sem" Lord Dunkellin, &a, are placed in 1 mourning.

HARWICH HARBOUR AS ♦ HARBOUR OF agrociit—Thin morning the report of the select committee appointed to inquire as to the best means of preserving Harwich Harbour as a harbour of refuge, was issued. The committee, after alluding to the dangerous state of the harbour, recommend that a bill should be brought in by the Board of Trade authorising the placing of the Stour, Harwich Harbour, and such portions of the Orwell as are not under the dock commissioners of Ipswich. under the supervision of a Conservancy Board reponentiog the various local interests of Harwich, Miatley, and Ipswich, in addition to certain members to be named by the Board of Trade. This Conservancy Board should have power to levy such does oe shipping using the harbour as may be necessary to defray the cost of improvement mid main tenance, and provision should be made for the application of all dues raised on shipping to shipping purposes. As national interests are concerned in the proper maintenance of the harbour, some assistance, the committee think, should be given by the government. Mr. Lawson, on the 27th, will call attention to the alleged general diratisfaction existing throughout the country regarding the laws for licensing houses for the sale of spirituous and fermented liquors, and to the necessity of the immediate revision thereof ; also "to the expediency and justice of permitting the inhabitants of any parish or place to decide whether the common sale of such liquors shall be carried on within the locality." The concerts at Northumberland House on the 18th and 25th of June are uaavoidably postponed, in eons*. mimeo of the death of a near relation of the Duchess of Northumberland. Sir Henry C.

The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton entertained • select party at dinner last evening, at their residence in Arlingtonetreek 'Ater in the evening her grace bad an assembly, which was most numerously and fashionably attended.

We are requested to state that the Countess de Flahault's party at Albert-gate, announced for June 19, is postponed to Thursday, June 28. Lord Llanover has returned to town from South ' Wales. Lady Llanover is expected on Thursday next. Lord Arthur Hay has left town for Paris, to join Lady Emily Peel, whose health is still such as to prevent her immediate return to England.

The ConstituAinspel, having warmly supported the idea of iluistirstion on the part of England and France in the affairs of the United States, and having ventured to affirm that negotiations on the subject had commenced, is somewhat dis turbed by the declaration of Lord Palmerston; that not only no communication on the subject had been made by the French cabinet, but that the English government had no intention at present of inter fering. The Constitutional says : We have no need to remark that Lord Palmerston does not reject by an absolute negation the idea of a media tion. He limits himself to declining it for the moment. There is another reflection to be made. No one is ignorant that it is the habit of English ministers not to take decl ines on important questions without having patiently con sidered towards which aide leans public opinion. Now, in Engiand, as has been abundantly proved by the unanimous voice of the press, public opinion tends with eagerness to wards that humane and politic solution, a mediation. The Press. also refers to the words of the En:T HAI minister for the purpose of fully approving of them, a mediation in American affairs being a course of proceeding, it thinks, altogether to be d:- precated. The Debats publishes some observations on the same subject, and seems opposed to the project of mediation, for the reason that if accepted it would leave the question of slavery undecided. The political bulletin of the Moisiteur has the following : What would be really important for the Unionist cause, and what would have a much more decisive character than precarious end dearly purchased victories, is manifestations by the Southern Steam in favour of • return to the Union. But nothing of the kind has taken place ; and the journals of New York, which had flattered them selves with that hope, no longer speak of that party of the Union which was to arise in the South &wording as the progress of the Federal mins gave full liberty to the estimations of the people. It is on the attitude ' assumed by the men of the South, and on the undisguised hostility manifested spins Ntthe orthern flag when hoisted in the conquered towns, that almost the whole of the English press now found their argument. to Waist on the necessity of a mediation which would offer to the parties engaged in the struggle an opportunity of seeking an amicable solution for their interminable quarrels. Motions on that subject have already been made in the two houses of parliament, and from the replies made by Lord Palmers ton and Earl Russell, it appears to result that the British government particularly preoccupies itself ;n this matter with the question of opportuneness. FRENCH FINANCE. The Debate of to-day says : The discussion on the biidget oommenoed yesterday. It will have a political importance which we do not wish to pre judge. Whet will effe:t it most, in a financial point of view, is the consideration that the minister is sincerely desirous of diminishing the expenses, and, for that purpose, arranging them more clearly. Of this double task he has accomplished the latter part by the new classification which he has introduced into the budget and into the detailed table of the public expenses. He has done more than undertake the first. The commission on the budget has in realty established, by its triple report, that the budget of 1863 will present a reduction of 123,000,030 francs on the preceding estimates. The Minister of Finance, doubtless, will not stop there. He is the first minister since 1832 who his acquired power by making his programme known before hand. What he has executed of this justifies the favour with which the financial world has welcomed the return of M. Fould to the ministry, and warrants the hopes •of that enlightened and just portion of the liberal public which re quires not of a ministry more than it can give in the cir cumstances in which it is placed, and in the general system which circumscribes its liberty of action.

THE CAINE CONSOLIDATION SCHEME. CONSTANTINOPLE% JUNE 16. The amended consolidation scheme has been published to-day. The Caimds are to be withdrawn M the end of three months. The new Consols will be precisely similar to the old. A letter from Jura states that a terrible scourge has caused dismay among the farmers in that department. It was remarked that there were very few cockchafers seen there this year. The cause is that the lame, or white worms of which they are formed, remained in the ground, and are al this moment gnawing the roots of the plants. Wheat, clover, lucerne, and even the roots of the meadow grass are nearly destroyed. Even the hedges which divide the fields have not escaped these destructive insects, as their withered leaves testify. Accounts from Burgundy state that the vineyards in that district have not been so forward since the year 1822, when the blossoming commenced only on the 20th of May, whereu this year more than two thirds of the grapes were formed previous to the first of June. None of the vines remained in blossom at that period except those planted in unfavourable situations. A very abundant crop is to be remarked in addition to the unusual forwardness of the grapes. An additional fact greatly in favour of the vine growers is that the most delicate descriptions are more heavily laden with bunches of grapes than the common vines. A Genoa letter states that Garibaldi will rema"i seise time at Lego Maggiore Were he returns to °apnea. Varnhagen von Buse, a German writer of con siderable repute in his own country, died two or three years ago, leaving behind him a diary, of which a portion, es our nodes are aware, has since been published by his niece, a lady possessing the rather remarkable name of Ludmilla Assing. The appearance a few months ago of volumes UL and IV. of the work produced a considerable sensation. Certain incident& and circumstanoes, dating from 1848.9, were related in them in a way deemed offers. sive to the preirent King of Prussia. His Majesty being asked by M. von Bernath, then Minister of Justice, whether he objected le a prosecution before the tribufials, the King declared that be did not, and left it to the minister to pro secute or not, as he held it most expedient. Apparently Von Bernath and his colleagues thought the affair not worth moving is ; the book was largely extracted from and sesteered; the editor was not molested. But, • few den ago, to the surprise of everybody, a public summons was Maid by the Berlin tribunal to Miss Ludmilla Aiming, who IN sow In Italy, to appear and answer the charge of offence and outrage towards the King.

JUNE 17, 1502‘.1.1,,.; OS= on - aux a tiPRiCSB FROM PARIS. PARIS, MONDAY Evsinia. The Opinion Nationale alone of all the French journals contains some interesting news from Mexico, in addition to that given in yesterday's Monifeur. According to a letter, dated Mexico, May 12, about thirty French soldiers, wounded in the action of the 6th, were carried off the field by the Mexicans and taken care of in the hospitals of Puebla, where General Zaragoza had been to see them. The French prisoners were twenty-five in number—one lieutenant, six sergeants, one cor- poral, and seventeen men. They were expected in Mexico, where it was rumoured that they would be set free on parole. The municipal council had offered to take them under their special protection, but the French residents in Mexico proposed to con tribute the necessary expenses for their sup port. It is stated that the French column, when marching to the attack of the Guadeloupe heights, left their knapsacks at the foot of the mountain, and that in their retreat they were not able to get their packs again, and that the Mexicans got possession of them. This news, if true, is very serious indeed, for it will be , remembered that General Zsragosa's despatch, published by the Monikur, speaks of a column of 4,000 men being sent against Guadaloupe. If all those men, or even any considerable proportion of them, lost their knapsacks, the military disaster suffered by the French must have been very great indeed. However, this correspondence states that in the knapsacks were found several Crimean and Italian medals, with which the Mexican soldiers _ _ decorated themselves. Several of the wounded were also stripped of medals which they wore on their breasts. It is said that a Zouave whose leg was cut off in the hoepital endured the operation without a groan, but shed tears when his medals were t‘ru off his uniform. The Mexican govern- ment has censured the soldiers who have been guilty of these outrages, and has ordered that the medals taken from the wounded shall be re stored. The Opinion Nationale throws the whole blame of the French failure upon General Almonte, who deceived General de Lorencez and the French government as to the state of public opinion in the country. Bo long ago as January last the Patric asserted, on the strength of information evidently furnished by General Almonte, that no les* than eighteen province* out of the twenty-one of which the Mexican confederation is composed, were ready to adhere to the " Almonte project." "All the towns without exception," said the Patrie, " will vote in favour of the project as soon as the pro . . . . . clamation of the allies - assures them that their wishes shall be attended to." General de Lorences might have seen reason to doubt General Almonte's prophecies from what happened when the French army arrived in Orizaba. Almoute provoked a prnnunciamento. But in that city of from 20,000 to 25,000 inhabitants, although it was glistening with French bayonets at the time, he only collected 92 signatures. Still, however, he persisted that the 70,000 inhabitants of Puebla were ready to rise and welcome the French flag as soon as it ap peared ; and we know that General de Lorencez believed him ; because the Mon►teur states that it was calculated that the attack on Onadaloupe would be supported by a rising of the inhabitants of Puebla. Almonte also made him believe that a Mexican general named Cobos, at the bead of 4,000 reactionaries, would come to his aid. A messenger from the French camp, taken prisoner by the Mexicans on May 5, was found to be the bearer of the following letter, written to General Coboe by a priest, one Father Miranda : San Diego de Is. Alamos, May 5, 1862. Dear Friend,—Fort Guadeloupe is to be taken to-night. Come and join Us without losing a moment, and with what ever tome you can bring, even it it should be only your cavalry. FiUNCIDOO Yn►NDA. Whether owing to the seizure of this pressing letter, or for any other reason, General Cobos and his band was not forthcoming in time of need. Pro tests against General Almonte and his scheme for the regeneration of the country come into Mexico from all quarters. The Lancastrian Society (au educational body, as its name import.) and the Geographical and Statistical Society, the majority of whose members are conservatives, have expelled General Almonte. Sir Charles Wyke, accompanied by Admiral Dunlop, arrived in Mexico on May 4, and the English legation was reopened. Sir Charles Wyke's treaty for the settlement of all difficulties with England has been unanimously ratified by the Mexican Congress. _ . . The Patriequotes complacently a Mexican cor respondence in the Monde, asserting that the affair of the sth was a trivial check, due entirely to the " rashness of some Zouaves, who converted a simple reconnaissance into an attack with the bayonet upon a strongly fortified mamelon." Unfortunately for this view, the Moniteur admits that there was a deliberate purpose to storm the Guadeloupe forts, and that the attack failed. The clerical journals are in favour of the expedition from a mixed motive. They are glad to see the government embarked in an undertaking which they think will bring it into trouble, and they encou rage Almonte because he is the representative of the catholic party, which for years oppressed the country, and is the author of the anarchy which at present prevails in it. The Patric estimates the number of the reinforce ments ordered out to Mexico at about 5,000. The ridiculous figure of 100,000 was mentioned the other day in a London journal. The debate on the budget in the Corps Legislatif was begun to-day by M. Granior de Canaignae, to whom the Chamber was listening with impatience up to the hour to which the evening's report comes down. He is supporting the substance of an amendment already thrown out by the commit tee. At the opening of the sitting several members complained that after having had nothing to do for months they were now called upon to vote the budget without sufficient time for consideration. Then are, in fact, but ten working days between this and the end of the session, June 27. The Revue Contempornine suggests that if the patriotism of the deputies were to prompt them to work a few days without salary, the Emperor would doubtless prolong the *melon- Unfortunately, however, the imperial constitu tion debars the deputies from the exercise of an initiative, and the government could scarcely propose a bill to strip them of their pay. Should the session be prolonged a single day beyond June 27, another month's pay rill be the right of every member. Although there were successive falls at the Bourse last week in consequence of rumours from Mexico, the positive announcement of the Moniteur has produced a further considerable depression. Bente fell 25e. for cash and 30a for account, closing at OBfr. 30e. and 613 fr. 35c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c. In railways, with the exception of • fall of 10fr. In Southern, and Mr. 75c. in Lyons, there was little change. ITALY. (1 , 11.0 N 0011, OWN TURIN, Jun 12. The law proposed by ministers for regulating the right of association, so that the government may not be wholly at the mercy of hostile parties, l a undergoing examination in the committees of the Chamber. The presidents of these committees belong to the majority, which is averse to factious associations ; nevertheless the law meets with the most strenuous opposition, not on account of its scope, but of its form, so that it must be almost wholly changed. Its capital fault is that it lays down no legal definition of what is meant by the word association • and unless this is clearly deter mined the tribu nals will be embarrassed as to the application of the law. It is of course to be ex pected that the government will be afforded some means of defending itself, but not in the manner indicated in this proposed law. Sir James Hudson's recovery is leas rapid than it was hoped it would be. His illness, however, is not very serious. To-day the Chamber p-ssftl by a very large ma jority a law for the reguWion of chambers of com merce. It is the first law that has been passed since the re-opening after the recess. Yesterday the Senate adjourned again, because the deputies had not yet sent up any laws to it for examination. It will meet again on the 20th inst. It is rumoured ,that ministers are dissatisfied with the conduct of the new Prefect of Palermo, the Marquis Giorgio Pallavicino Tribulzio. Thus, then, in less than a month, he has justi fi ed my forebodings ; for, as you may recollect, I stated that in appointing him the ministry had made a very bad choice. The marquis bears an illustrious name, made still more illustrious by the cruelty of Austria, who kept him a prisoner in Spielberg for nearly ten years. Moreover, he behaved honour ably in Naples when Gariba ldi was there, beset by Bertani and. Company. But in these days, besides an honourable character and an illustrious name, much political capacity and much administrative experience are needful, two things of which the marquis is wholly destitute. The ministry will, therefore, do well in recalling him, but it did ex ceedingly ill in sending him. These repeated changes discredit the government, make it appear unstable and inexpert, and delight its enemies, who take advantage of them to sow distrust, and make more difficult the civil reorganisation of the date. Yesterday an order was issued for the arrest of a Neapolitan who has three wives, one in Naples, one in Alba, a little town in Piedmont, and one here in Turin. The law condemns bigamy, and I do not believe that it will accept as a valid defence the etymoloOcal argument put forth, it is said, in one of your English courts—namely, that be is a bigamist who has two wives, but not he who has three.

New CRIIRCH Ili MLY FAI R. —Yeateraay after noon a meeting was held in the Hazioversquare Rooms, under the presidency of the Bishop of London, for the pr• pose of adopting measures for securing the erection of a new church in Mayfair. From a statement made by the rector, it appeared that in his district of 81. (kelps. Hanover-square, there is a permanent population of about 18,000 souls, and only two parochial churches --namely George's and Grosvenor Chapel of Ease. The number el sittings in these two churches ia 2,100, exclusive of about 300 for school children. Of these 2,100, the free sittings do not much exceed 500 There are also in the district four uncooriscrated chapels, of the class denominated " poplin tory," as being {ovate property. The poor had no place in them except by the good will of the proprietor for the time being. On the south side of the church district (the part known as Mayfair), there is an area of about three quarters of • mile in length, and a quarter of a mile sa breadth, thickly covered with dwellings of every els". from the mansions of the nobility to the moat squalid and miserable abodes which can be found in any part of the metropolis. Towards the erection of the proposed aew church some liberal subscriptions were announced--amose ol others the Duke of Devonshire, 5001. ; the Manson et Westminsten, 200/.; Lord Aahburton, 100/. ; Mr. J.
