_ • rOYSECRATION OF IGHTO THE RO c YAL CHAPEL.] BRN, k. . 1 This Chapel, founded by his MAJESTY, has been c onsecrated yesterday by the Bishop of CHICHUTZR. I At an early hour the principal avenues leading to the Chapel were occupied by carriages, and though the morning was very unfavourable, the number solicit ing for admission was great. The exterior of the Chapel is a simple and elegant structure, but the approach to it is not completely finishe +. The Chapel is fitted up in a style of suit able magnificence. The pulpit and reading-desk were richly covered with crimson velvet—the com munion-table was decorated with similar costliness, and encompassed with a gilded railing: a golden chalice, Sic. stood on the table. The gallery. pro ieccting over one extremity of the Chapel, is chastely 4113 beautifully painted : it was occupied by the Gen• flew') anti Choi isters of his Majesty's Chapel Sr. James's. At the apposite extremity, and separate farm) the aisle, is the space assigned to the Sovereign tind his suite. A few minutes before eleven o'clock, the Chapel wa s opened to those who had previously obtained tickets to witness the ceremonial of the consecration. The Chapel soon presented a scene of the most grati- tyinz character : it was delightful to behold the noble and illtictrious of the land assembling to petition the ALMIGHTY " that he would favourably approve and graciously accept the godly purpose of setting apart a place, in a solemn manner, to the performance of the mikes of religious worship, and to beg his bless ing tm the undertaking." The ,eats in the Chapel were occupied previously to the commencement of the Form appointed for its enn,ec;ation, and several most distinguished persons were compelled to stand during the ceremony. His MAJESTY entered the Chapel at about half an hour after eleven o'clock. The curtains placed be tween that portion of the Chapel assigned to his MA JESTY and the aisle were thrown aside, and in the centre discovered the KING, dressed in the uniform of the Royal Tenth Hussars, His MAJESTY appeared excellent health, and was most unremitting in his attention to the service which followed, joining with much fervour in the responses, which were very cor rectly and beautifully sung by the Choir. Oa the left, and separated from his MAJESTY by a crimson curtain, were the Princess ESTERHAEY, Lllir HARCOURT, Lord and Lady CONYNONAM ; on the right of his -MAJESTY StOOd Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM FIELD and several other distinguished members of his MAJESTY'S Suite. Bi•hop, his Chaplains, the Preacher, the offi ciating Minister, and other Clergy, passed through the middle aisle to the communion table, repeating, iternately, the six first verses of the 24th Psalm— the remaining verses by the Choir. The Bishop and Lis Chaplains went within the rails, the officiating Miiiister to the desk, and the Preacher near to the rulpit. The Bishop, sitting in his chair, received the KING'S mandate for the consecration of the Chapel, hen magnificent, nor s store suspicions diy, thin that to which his text referred, the dedication of that temple to the worship of the A Luna/MT. The Prelate? then al luded to the various manifestations which Goo couch safed to make on that occasion. He then passed on to the idolatry and the consequent rail of the Jewish people, and then by a natural transition to the coming Of CHRIST, when sacrifices were abolished by the To: luntary offering of the incarnate SAVIOUR. The SA VIOUR of the world disclosed to the woman of Sa maria, the nature of his mission, a n d s p ewe d t h at t h e period of a restricted and ceremonial Service had passed away. " Believe me, the hour corned' when neither in this mountain nor in Samaria shall ye ware' ship the Father. GOD is a spirit, and theyahat won. ship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."—. He proceeded to :hew, that though Goo dwelt not in temples made with hands, yet had the Diving Air ?Hog and his Apostles, by the influence of example proved. that external ordinances were of much ins portance. The Preachel, in a most able and im pressive discourse, dwelt upon the peculiar advantage derived from sacred worship, and, above all, from the excellent Service which the Church of England had adopted, and concluded by praying that GOD' would, of his infinite goodness, vouchsafe to the Mo.' 'larch of this kingdom those blessings which he had ,promi•ed, " that he would grant him his heart's de sire, and fulfil all his prayers."—After the Sermon, the choir sting— " atilelujah, for the Loan Goo omnipotent reigneth." " The Kingdom of this world is become the Kingdom of our Loan and his CHRIST; and he shall reign for ever and ever; King of Kings and Lord of Lords." The Bishop having pronounced the final blessing, Gon save the King" was finely sung by the choir. The Service concluded about half-past two o'clock, when hi, MAJESTY retired, and the congregation left the Chapel. The vocal parts of the ceremony were performed by the Gentlemen and Choristers of his Majesty's Chapel Royal. St. James's. The organ was played by Mr. ATTWOOD. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral. His Ilasesry was attended in the Royal seat by the Clerk of the Closet, the Very Reverend the Dean of HEREFORD. Among the Clergy in attendance were the Rev. Messrs. TATUM, EVERA RD, LOVELL, ace. The congregation was numerous and distinguished. A . ong those present were remarked— Prince and Princess Esterhazy, the Duke of Dorset, Lord Ravensworth and daughters, Lord Norntanby, Lord and Lady Howard of Effingham, the Marquis and Marchioness Conyng ham ; Lady Elizabeth, Lord Francis, and Lady Maria Col:lng ham •' Lord and Lady Harcourt, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Lord Gwydir, Lord High Chamberlain, Sir A. Barnard, Sir E. Nagle, Lord Eardley, Lady Says and Sale, lion. Miss Twisleton, &c. We have thus endeavoured to lay before our Readers a full account of this ceremony. The solemnity was indeed one of the most affecting character. The con gregation, comprising several of the most illustrious characters of the land—the aged Bishop, venerable for piety, for rank, and for an age extended beyond the usual life of man—the devotion of our beloved MONARCH, who joined most fervently in the Sacred Services—all combined to present a scene which, ele- which he placed on the communion-tahle ; and ti vated as it was by the solemnity of sacred music, and standing up, turned to the congregation, And said, sublimed by the intrence of devotio9, must ever re " Dearly beloved in the Ixsau, forasmuch as devour and holy main indelibly impressed on the hearts of those who men, as well under the Law as under the Gospel, have erected witnessed it. houses for the public worship of Goo, and separated them from The Chapel presented a coup died of imposing mag all secular and profane uses, in order to fill men's minds with nificence and effect.

REMY the sacrifices of prayer and thanksgiving, and to the in struction of thy people in the pure doctrines of thy blessed SON'S Gospel. Accept, 0 LORD, this service at our bands, and bless it with such succesa as may tend most to thy glory, to the fur therance of our happiness both temporal aad spiritual, through Juus estanv / our LORD and SAVIOUR. Amen.' The usual prayers at the Consecration of a Chapel then followed ; after which (the Bishop sitting) the Act of Consecration was read by the Chancellor and signed by the Bishop, and ordered to be registered, and was laid on the table. The Minister read the service, except where it was otherwise directed. The 84th, 122 d, and 132 d Psalms were then chaunted by the Choir. The proper Les- 1 sons having been read, the Collects followed, and the officiating Minister then passed on to the General Thanksgiving, which being said, the Bishop intro. l duced the following prayer for the KING; 44 Blessed be thy name, 0 Goo, that it bath pleased thee by thy lloty Spirit to dispose the heart of thy Servant, our Sove reign Lord George the Fourth, to eve and dedicate this build ' ing to thy honour and worship. Bless his services, and accept the work of his hand. Remember hint concerning this act of piety—forget not the kindness that he bath here shewed for the house of his Goo, and the religious instruction of his people; and grant that all who shall enjoy the benefit of this pious work, may spew forth their thankfulness, by making a right use of It, to the glory of thy blessed name, through Jesus OMIT our Loan. Amen." This Prayer for the KING, as the founder, being said, the officiating Minister concluded with the Prayer of St. Chrysostom, and the Blessing. 'The Sanctus was sung previously to the commencement of the Communion Service, " Holy, holy, holy." The Communion Service having been read, the Evistle and Gospel followed ; then the Nicene Creed; after which the Preacher, the Rev. Mr. Peansori, ascended the pulpit, and took his text from the latter Fart of the 63d verse of the first of Kings. " So Me King and all the children of Israel dedicated the house ty the LORD." The Preacher, after some preliminary I observations, proceeded to observe, that in the early periods of the world, the worship of one Goo main tained its influence; but though dispensations to rove the perfection and the truth of this pure system worship, were made to man, still, holvever, they were not sufficient to persuade them frod polytheism :Ind idolatry. To his favoured people GOD vouch safed this law, and " his name was known in Judah, and great in israel." The Great Monarch, David, had a temple erected to GOD, but it was reserved for Sol omon , his son, to build a place • worthy of the LAD. The woild, perhaps, never beheld a more or a grand performance of Sacred Music, vocal and in strumental, took place at the Palace in the evening. The several pieces were performed by the Gentlemnen and Choristers of the Chapel Royal, St. James's ; and the organ was played by Mr. Arrwoon, organist of St. Paul's Cathedral. Monday evening his MAJESTY gave a party, at which were present, by invitation, the Earl and Countess MORLEY, Lord BECTIVE, Lord and Lady RA VENSWORTII, and the Misses LYDDELL, Lord EARDLIY, Lord and Lady SAYE and Secs, and Miss TWISLETON, SCC. Yesterday arrived at the Pavilion the LORD CHAN CELLOR, Lord ST. HELENS and Lord STOWELL. The Earl and Countess of CHICHESTER, and Earl and Countess MORLEY, dined with the KING yesterday. Major RENNELL is among the latest arrivals,at Brighton, and is sojourning with Captain RODE; on the Pavilion Parade. Prince LA RDA RIA (brother to Count ST. ANTONIO) has arrived at Brighton. The Count and Countess aie keeping up the festivities of Christmas, at their residence on the West Cliff, by a succession of the most splendid entertainments. Rands of music paraded the town of Brighton on Monday night, and ushered in the New Year with their melifluous sounds. The streets were full of per sons till a very late hour. ' The heightening of the fence or wall in front of the Pavilion at Brighton, is now nearly completed. Lord ST. Hnttw's left town yesterday, on a visit to his MAJESTY, at the Pavilion, Brighton. His MAJESTY has now in his possession, a fine wolf-dog, which followed the Royal carriage from Herrenhausen to Wetzlar, a distance of more than 70 English miles. His MAJESTY observing the dog, or dered him to be taken care of, and he has since proved so sagacious an animal, as to become quiz a favou rite with his MAJESTY. Lie is called Wetzlar, from the place where he was first takekup. This morning a meeting took place in the Regent's Park, between Captain C—, late of the Royal Navy, and Mr. o—, a Gentleman of fortune and 1 , a native of the sister kingdom, residing in Curzon street, May-fair. The parties entered the Palk soon after eight o'clock, and proceeded to a sequestered spot near St. John's Wood, when the ground being measured, they fired at twelve paces. The first fire did not take effect, and an attempt was made at an Amicable arrangement, but did nut succeed. On the second lite, the Captain's ball struck his adversary in the upper part of the thigh, and he fell : he was instantly conveyed home. The cause of dispute is stated to have originated at Drury-Lane Theatre, on Saturday evening, during the performance of Giovanni in Ireland. It was not, however, until last night that the ukcior measure was decided upon. , ~, , , . 7711 ARM Y. 1. • CIRCULAR. • . • • ' Wir-Olice, Department of Aallllll9.
