The point was wh9ther sufficient notice had been given by the district surveyor that a certain bow window, in a house in the course of erection by Harding, was cumtrary to the act. A division was taken, when the statement of Mr, Bolger was decided to be unsatisfactory. A report was brought up from the Committee of Works and Improvements, recommending that the necessary surveys be forth with made for widening Union street, Southwark, in conformity with the reconmenda- Lion of Mr. Irvine in his suggestion for improvements in the borough of Southwark, and also that Messrs. Smith and Son should be allowed 7001. for their professional services for the twelve months, beginning Ist Novem ber, 1856, and ending 31st October, 1857. That part of the report relative to the Messrs. Smith was received. Mr. TURNER then moved the second part of the re commendation, viz., that surveys be forthwith made for widening Union-street, Southwark. Mr. FEW said if the new street in Southwark, was to be made, be could not see wby this survey should take place. He could not understand the use of widen ing Union•street, without it was intended to shelve the making of the new street in the Borough. A ter a short discussion, that part of the report rela tive to the widening of Union-street was withdrawn. [We shall give the cwielusion in our last edition ] LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) THE WATFORD AND HEMEL HEMPSTEAD BANK,-IN WM. SMITH. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt (Mr. Smith, a solicitor), surviving partner of the banking firm of Smith and Whittingstall, of the Watford and Hemel Hempstead Bank. It will no doubt be recollected that on the death of the other partner proceedings were taken to wind up the affairs in bankruptcy, and it was subsequently proposed to conclude the matter under the private arrangement clauses, but the case was adjourned into open court. Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Chidley, Basinghali•street, for creditors. Several proofs were tendered, and, after some discus sion, admitted ; but, in consequence of the nature of the accounts, the bankrupts having also been in partnership with a Mr. Edward Fearnley, also deceased, no balance• sheet hal been filed, and a further ajournment took place for six weeks. IN RE WATSON AND ENSOR. To-day was appointed for the last examination of these bankrupts, the first being described as of Artillery-place, Finsbury-square, mining agent, and Ensor as of Coptball buildings, dealer in shares ; but, no accounts having been filed, an adjournment took place till the 3d of January next. e Mr. Plews appeared for the assignees, Mr. Stubbs Ar Watson, and Mr. Chidley far Ensor. MARKET NEWS. _(This Lay.) CORN EXCHANGE. There was only a moderate supply of English wheat on offer in to-day's market; nevertheless, the demand for most kinds ruled heavy. Selected samples of both red and white were held at full quotations, but tho value of other kinds was almost nominal. Over 14,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand this week. The business doing in most descriptions was limited. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were held at full currengies. The show of barley was only moderate, yet the trade ruled heavy, at barely late rates. Malt was firm, but not dearer. Wo were well supplied with, oats, and most kinds were the turn in favour of buyers. Beans, peas, and flour ruled about stationary. ARAMALB THIS WISKE. Wheat. 1 I Barley. 1 Malt.. 0 tts.

It was at present partly occupied by market gardeners, and the expense of making the proposed park would amount to 40,0001. The land would cost 32,0001., and after the park had been laid out, it could be kept in order for about 2001. per annum. The memorial was ordered to be received.

THE INQUEST.-THIS DAY. The inquiry into the deaths of the unfortunate indivi duals who lost their lives on Sunday evening last, at the Royal Surrey Gardens, was resumed this morning at the Newington Workhouse, bcfore Mr. Carter, coroner, and the jury impannelled on Tuesday last. Mr. Spurgeon was not present at the commencemcnt, though he bad been summoned to attend. The jury having answered to their names, the follow ing additional evidence was taken : Mr. C. W. C. Otway, surgeon, 7, Canterbury-row, Newington -road—About 7 o'clock en Sunday evening last I was summoned by Police-constable 333 P to go to the Surrey-gardens, where a dreadful accident had happened. I immediately went there and found great confusion in every direction. 01 arriving mid-way be tween the entrance of the Garden and the entrance of the Hall, my attention was called to a female lying on the grass surrounded by a number of persons. I ex amined her ; she was breathless, and she had no pulsa tion in any part. Her countenance was very suffused and puffy. I detected no particular external injury on her person. I listened at her chest, and was about to make further inquiries when I was called off to examine another person. The first person was Mrs. Skepper. She was about two yards from the first female. She was not breathing, but I felt her pulse and heart heating. I directed the bye. standers to raise her a little, and loosen her dress, which was done. I was then pulled away to another female at the other side of the garden, and I never saw Mrs. Skepper after. I found the third person dead. I think the second female I saw in the garden. I was very much distressed at the sight, and when called away from the second female I looked round and seeing a medical friend of mine there I asked him to attend to her. Superintendent Lund then desired me to re main by his side whilst the bodies wore brought and hid on a table at the north-west end of the building. I believe the first brought was a female, Mrs. -Bar low. She appeared to have been brought from upstairs. She was dead, her face was very livid, with the chin forced down on the chest. The bone of her stays was forced through her dress and was pressing on her mouth and nose. I opened her dress and removed the stay bone. I then felt her heart, and I said this woman is dead. My impression at the time was, that beside the suffoca'ion she had injured her head at the top of the spinal column. I have since examined her body, and found a contusion on the right aide of the head. She died from suffocation by the head being pressed down on the chest, and a physical impediment caused thereby to the introduction of air into the lungs. Noticing the female was in the family way when she was placed on the table,l afterwards came to the workhouse in company with Mr. Stower, a medical man, and it was decided that the Caesarean operation should be performed. Mr. Gannon, a medical man operated, and a full grown male child was taken from her—the child was dead. I believe the next person I saw was Heard, a large powerful man ; he was brought from up stairs, and was dead ; his head was forced down on his chest, as in the case of Mrs. Barlow; his face was suffused and livid ; I did not detect any particular external injury on his person ; he died from suffocation from pressure on the brain. I thought at the time he had broken his neck, and on a hasty examina tion I was unable to say if his neck was dislocated ; he was bleeding from the back of his head as if he had fallen, and there were marks or bruises on his chest ; the wound at the back of the head was a contused wound. Two females were then placed on the table, but I don't know where they were brought from ; Mr. Marshall attended to one of them. Their names were John son and Matthews. Johnson was in a state of syncope, and she was attended to by Mr. Marshall. Matthews I examined, and found her dead. Her countenance was more livid than the others. I detected no personal in jury ; and my opinion is that she also died of suffoca tion. I afterwards saw Johnson, and found her dead. Her countenance was pallid. One of them was bruised about t! , e fale. I believe all three persons lost their lives by suffocation, through compression. By the Foreman—Probably had received a blow that might have paralysed him, but it was not the cause of death. By the Coroner—They all lost their lives by violence. Witness—l belive the boy who fell from the stairs was not killed. Oa Sunday evening a person called at my ho‘use and wished me to attend a boy who had severely injured himself from falling down a staircase. Mr. Fullager.—We have a letter from the mother of the boy, stating he is not dead. The Coroner—l believe a policeman has seen the mother of the boy, and ascertained he is not injured, and that he was at work yesterday in the City. Mr. John Madge, examined on Tuesday —On Sunday evening last I went to the Surrey Hail to hear Mr. Spurgeon preach, and I stood durin g the whole of the evening in front of the orchestra, close to the foot of the pulpit. I faced the audience, and could see every part of the ball, which was densely crowded. I was at th e gardens at a quarter past 4 o'clock, and assisted in snaking arrangements, with the police, to pre serve order. I did it at the request of the deacons of Park-street Chapel, who wished good order to be kept. Mr. Spurgeon entered the pulpit about half-past 6 o'clock, when service commenced by singing, reading the scriptures, and prayer. At the close of the prayer there was great confusion near the entrance door (the centre door), occasioned by persons rushing out of the place—about a dozen or twenty at first—from the body of the hall, occasioned, I believe, by a persona or persons ceiling out "Fire." The Coroner—Why do you believe it ? Witness—Because I heard it, and a cry th a t th e " galleries are falling." By the Coroner—Did you hear the word fire dis tinctly used ? Witness—Yes, sir, more than once. By the Coroner—Can you say whence the so unds cstue ? Witness—First from the door at the main entrance, when I heard at the same time a little bell tinkle. The cry of are was re-echoed immediately, exactly opposite, and apparently after from three or four parts of the ball. As soon as one person cried " fire," it was re peated by the others. The tinkling of the bell was answered at the opposite side of the hall by the tinkling of another bell, and another rush took place, accompa , nied with the cry of " the galleries are falling." By the Coroner—What effect did this have on the people Witnesi —lncreased confusion —dreadful —every body appeared in commotion. All rose up extremely agitated. By the Coroner—Can you identity any of the persons wbo raised the cries Witness—l don't think I can, but I saw several per sons standing up at the end of the hall put their hands to their mouths and cry, "The galleries are falling.' They used their hands as a trumpet to convey the sound as far as possible. By Mr. Holland—You say the confusion appeared before the cries ? Witness—Yes, about a dozen or so rushing out of the main door; the more the men cried the more the con• fusion. I at first thought it was some person being removed in a fainting tit. When they were shouting " fire," I saw a man take a chair and go round the ball and smash the glass in the windows and doors, against which barriers had been placed to prevent exit during the service to create additional confusion. By a Juryman—How were they barricaded ? Witniss—Oa the outside. When I saw the rush was general I went to the N. W. staircase, and there saw the bodies lifted on the leads, as described by ins in my evi deuce on I t uesday last. I thought at first the confusion emanated from persons desirous of plundering. By a Juryman—l am satisfied the tinkling noise I heard was made by a bell, and not from the rattling of the drops of a glass chandelier. By the Foreman—l am glad you were so self-possessed at the time, Mr. Illedge, because there are a few ques tions I wish to have answered. What is your impression as to the breaking of the glass—was it to give additional modes , of exit or to create confusion ? Witness—To create confusion. Foreman—From your information, do you belieie there was a preconcerted arrangement to create con fusion Witness—Yes. liivrernan—Did you feel alarm at the time ? WitneFs--Yes, a little when I heard the cry " the galleries are falling." By a Juryman—When the first c'nfusien occurred did you hear screams ? Witness-LI c ou't think I did—l'm not certain. The deacons bed no idea any disturbance would arise, or that any opposition would be bhown to Mr. Spurgeon's preaching. Mr. Spurgeon had no idea of the murderous work that was going on in the stairs. lie was only aware of it when I went and informed him, and he remained in the pulpit addressing the people in the hopes of allaying the panic. I and others bad to dr.74:: him out of the pulpit. By the Jury—Mr. Spurgeon acted very properly. Mr. Ww. Soanies, engraver, of Fincbley-road, Wal worth—l was at the Surrey-hall on Sunday evening last. The disturbance commenced about the middle of the !8 5 6 Foreman—Was there a man stationed at this stair case ? Witaess—l believe so. Foreman—Do you know who was there ? Witness—l don't recollect • but I can ascertain. • Foreman— Would it not be the duty of a man sta tioned at a particular spot to remain there ? Witness—Not iu this instancs, because the instruc tions are general. Foreman—l consider we should have the man before us who was stationed there, because he must have seen the accident. Mr. Superintendent Lund—l will make enquiries and let you know if a policeman was at the bottom of the stairs at the time. Witness continued, in answer to a question put to him, to say that up to the time of the cry of fire, the immense concourse of persons was orderly and there was no indication of a disturbance likely to occur. By a juryman—l heard no tinkling of bells or of glass. 1 heard no scraatus previous to the panic. By Mr. Holland—Do you think the breaking of the chandeliers might be taken for that of bells? Witnetts—Y es. John Varney, police-constable 333 P—l was on duty on Sunday evening at the front gates. Persons rushed out crying "Fire !" and from what they said to m s I fetched a surgeon. On returning I went into the builuing. The_witness then repeated the evidence given by him on Tuesday with reference to the identity of the bodlee. The gates were burst in from Penton place after the alarm was given. There were more than a thousand persons in the gardens who could not gain admission into the body of the hall. Evidence was then taken to complete the identity of Mrs. Mead, which was nut completed on the former day and wbere her death took place. Robert Paine Grace, 14 years of age, residing at 11, Lyndhurst-grove, Lyndhurst-road, Peokharn---I was at the Surrey-gardens on Sunday evening, in the third gal lery, on the left hand side from the pulpit. After being there about half an hour l eaa a middle-aged wan near the principal entrance, lie bad clank whiskers and a beard. [W shall give the conclusion in our late edition.] An inquest was held last night by Mr. Bedford, at the Compasses, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, on tha bodie- of two newly•bgrn infants, found in Hyde•park and Warwick-equare, Pimlico. In each case a vtr,licc of " murder" against persons ualtnown was re turned.. TIIu END OF TIME LONG YACATION.—The long vaca tion, which commenced on the 10th of August, termi nates to-day (Friday), and to-morrow the common law offices will reLutne their wonted activity. As the 2d of November falls on a Sunday this year, Michaelmas Term will not commetice until the following Monday. There is a good deal of business before the courts. As usual, a number of persons have given notice of their intention to apply to be admitted attorneys of the com mit law courts. exceed prayer. I stood under the gallery immedietely opposite the main entrance. At that time a rush took place into the lobby from the gardens, which protluee.l a bustle in the bail, followed immediately by screaming in that vicinity, and a general looking round to that spot. The word "Fire" arose more as a matter of in quiry than an alarm, and immediately like a stream it flew across the hall like a flash. Suddenly the avenue gates were opened, and there was a melt producing a sound as if a fire-engine were coming. Then the panic arose. I had not then beard the tinkling of bells, but I did occasionally the breaking of chandeliers. A.gene re a alarm spread through the building—all appeared to get out of their seats and trample over one another, from a ) desire to escape. I assisted in breaking the glase in the windows (but not with a chair) to give additional means of exit. If it had not been done more lives weuld have been lost. When I was breaking the glass a person came up to me and said, "Be quiet, don't do that, but trust in God." I replied that I quite agreed with him in that sentiment, but at the same time I considered myself justified in what I was doing, in giving additional facilities to escape. I do not believe the disturbance arose from a preconcerted measure, but from the foolery of opening the avenue doors when the hall was full. The panic arose from an accidental and unforeseen circumstance. I did not see any one put his hand to his mouth and call fire. Mr. Isaac John Barrett, master of the Spa Wood Grammar School—l was at the Surrey Hall on Sunday evening in company with my wife. I stood with my face to the audience about three yards, in front of the pulpit. During the second prayer there was breathless silence, and I distinctly heard the tinkling of the drops of the gas chandelier and a rumbling sound of feet as if stamping at the main entrance, simultaneous with another such sound at the north-east entrance, accom panied with the breaking of glass. I had not then heard the word "fire." From the manner in which Mr. Spurgeon addressed the audience in prayer I thought a disturbance might occur. He said, "There were a great many mealy-mouthed ministers who were afraid to use the word hell to car; polite, but that he should use it a great many times tbat night in the course of his address. His master Christ seldem spoke of heaven, but of hell." Immediately on hearing that a thought crossed my mind that a disturb. ance might arise. I believe the disturbance arose Irons a preconceeted plan by the opponents of Mr. Spurgeon. When the confusion commenced Mr. Spurgeon desired the audience to be quiet—it was only "pickpockets." I saw an old schoolfellow of mine named Young, who has a wooden leg, golinto the pulpit. He said " they must be aware of the expense incurred in engaging the hall, and that as they had not been able during the confusion to collect as much as they anticipated, he should feel obliged to the remaining portion of the audience if they would subscribe as they went out." I do not attribute the disturbance to anything Mr. Spurgeon said. Superintendent Lund—l went to the Surrey Gardens at half-past 5 o'clock on Sunday evening in consequence of an application for eight policemen, and that Mr. Spurgeon would preach there. I went there as a matter of duty. On my arrival I found at least 15,000 persons assembled. I took up my position at the gates of the trout entrance until five minutes past 6. A large Dum ber of persons had been admitted, and then there gas a large cumber remaining outside. I left the entrance gates and made my way to the N.W. Tower. I en tered and ,saw the ball and galleries tolerably full. I returned by the main entrance where a number of per sons were entering. I considering they would fill the hail, and on meeting one of the deacons, I told him the ball was pretty well full, and that I should take the responsibility of closing the gates. I locked them, and left three policemen at the gates to intimate to the people that the hall was full. I returned into the hall, went throegh the body of the hall and into the orchestra, and took up a standing position on the left hand side of the, pulpit, which gave me a command of the whole build ing. The service had not then commenced. There were between 5,000 and 6,000 persons in the body of the hall, comprising men, women, and children. There were a great many children, and a very large proportion of women in the body of the hall. The three galleries were pretty full, but I don't think there %ere so many as his the Alboni night, when 13,000 persons were present ; there was walking room round the first gallery behind the seats, but I could not see how full the others were. I should think there were about 1,400 persons in the first gallery. The other galleries appeared to be full. The service opened about half. past six with a hymn, followed by a prayer, mad what air. Spurgeon said appeared to have a great effect on the female portion of the audience. He said, "There may be some daughters here who have erred from the paths of virtue, and may have brought their fathers' grey hairs with sorrow to the grave." There was great sobbing and crying amongst the females. He continued his prayer, saying, " What a glorious night is this." I then saw two men, and a lad about 16 or 17 and considerably shorter than the other two, rise up in the body of the hall, immediately opposite the grand entrance. One of them held up his arms and called out what I believe to be " fire, fire." The cry was immediately repeated, and it is impossible to de scribe the scene that ensued, I jumped down from the orchestra. There was a tremendous rushing, and I heard the greatest noise at the north-west gallery. I saw no one attempt to arrest the parties who raised the alarm. It appeared to be a general panic after the first alarm. I don't think I should know the party again —I may say certainly not. The ball was lighted inside as usual, and there were some lights on the outside. I could see no cause for the origin, of the cry of "Fire." I put Mra. Lund, who was with me, out at the south• east door, and I then proceeded to the north-west door. The first thing I sax was a respectable female, with her face fearfully cut. I Assisted her to Mr. Tyler's office, and she afterwards lelt in a cab. On my return I was informed some one was lying dead on the flats of the refreshment rooms. I returned immediately, and then saw the balustrade was down, and six or seven people had fallen over to the bottom ; one man's leg was broken. The people were rushing down the staircase ; but they made way for inn to ascend by the side nearest the wall. On the matting of the first gallery, inside the door, I saw a female lying dead, but I can't identify her as being one of the deceased. lam certain three dead bodies of females were brought down stairs. I lifted the window a little, anti I saw two women, and as I came down the stairs I saw a man lying on the flats dead. I afterwards sent some police to the spot., who brought the bodies down, and they were all found to be dead. It was my impression at the time that the disturbance arose from the opponents of Mr. Spurgeon, and that it arose by preconcertion, but certainly not by them. As such I reported to the Secre tary of State ; but I have since had cause to alter my opinion. I did not hear of a single pocket hair +kerchief having been stolen, The totes were closed at 10 minutes past 6 o'clock. After that Sergeant Coppin went out side, and there saw a number of seed mobsinen. Their practice is to go into a building with the tail end of the people. The gates were closed 20 minutes Mere the appointed time. I have not hoard of anything being stolen. I dionld have thought four policemen sufficii-nt fur security inside, but as Mr. Spu Teen's friends asked fur inure, he Lad them. If I had not been applied to 1 should have sent three or four men. About 13 or 14 persons were picked up at the bottom of the stairs. By the Foreman—l have formed a different view as to. the cause of the panic from my tint impression, and as I am prosecuting inquiries I must decline giving my change of opinion, and the causes for it. There were 28 policemen present on the Alboni night. By Foreman—How were the policemen disposed on Sunday evening ? Witness—Sergeants Coppin and Varney were inside. The others were about the building and at the end of the staircases, Till; FAT Al 4 ACC.I •D 8 Ar T. 1117 SURREY GA I.DENs. The usual Thursday ever ti.ig assembly #; , f Mr. Spurgeon's congregation took place last Cycling, over which Dr. IleteLer, of Finsbury Cher el, in the abs enco of the former gentleman, presided.

I shall e:ideavour to obtain Dr. Campbell for the evening, but this il3 doubtful. I am not sure that Mr. Spurgeon wilt bahero next Monday ; but if he goes on as well as he is a ow doing I have a faint hope that we shall see him next I linrade.y, though we must not exp.ct him to take any activ e part in the service. Sub scriptions have come in far bt Tend our expectations. Our list already almost reaches the sum of 501. I have made application to several sources, ft - orn. whence I hope to derive considerable assistance. Collectiolas have also been made in many of the churches on this si le of the water for the relief of the sufferers. Tile directc rs of the Surrey Gar dens sympathise with us deeply, an d are not only willing, but anxious, that we should resum e our services there. No blame whatever is attached to . ..us. All that human foresight or human prudence could p. rovide for wo did. I have no doubt, however, that great g ood will eventually result from this sad calamity, and tb.a t the Lord has a les son to teach us all in it. I am also e,n,bled to inform you that we are likely to bring at least one of the perpetrators of the outrage last Sunday to justice. ,!Cheers,) No, my friewls, let ns not harbour a feeling of re% vino towards even . _ our enemies, although we hsve a right to it , ist them legally punished. 'We have received informati.lc this evening, which it is our intention to ►follow up, and'. 'which we hope will rcsalt in the apprehension of one or .m ire of the of fenders. And I may express my desire that ia a taw weeks we may have another large congregation a t the Surrey Gardens. (ilere again cheers rose in variou ; parts.) But fear nothing, my friends, a very efficient b ody of police will be in attendance to secure order. Tho re gentlemen who assisted in the arrangement of last Sun 6*.ay's service will now please to repair to the vestry, wiles t we hope to elicit some flu tiler information." THE NEYV DgAS Oh' CARLISLE. The appointment of the Rev. F. Close to. the vacant deanery has been officially confirmed. On Mon day last the rev. gentleman received an authoritative an nouncement from Lord Palmerston, intimating that the a ppointment had, with her Majesty's sanction and concurrence, been placed for his acceptance. The appointment is, wo believe, worth about 1,0001. per annum, with residence; and its duties are chiefly to act as vicar to the cathedral, to over look the canons, and the general business of the chapter ; to preach some 12 or 13 s:rsoins in the course of the year, and to reside at the deanery for eight months out of the twelve. The rev. gentleman will finally leave alieltenharu for Carlisle in about six weeks from this time. It is worthy of remark here, as a somewhat peculiar coincidence, that on the 20th of October, 1820, he was first ordained to the office of deacon, and that exactly 36 years from that day—namely, the 20th of October, 1856 ho was presented to the deanery of Carlisle. Mr. Close has contributed by his purse and his personal exertions to advance in a very perceptible degree the growth and improvement of the town, and he has Inc• ceeded in endearing himself to a very wide circle of the religious public. We are not, therefore, surprised to hear that the present opportune occasion is likely to be seized upon for the purpose of offering him some substuntial parting token of affection and remembrance. The rev, gentleman first officiated at Trinity Church on the 24th of March, 1821, and was inducted to the incum bency of Cheltenham parish on the 19th of Nov., 1826. His tenure of office has thus extended over, within one month, 30 years, and ho has, we believe, been the longest resident incumbent since the reign of Henry the Eighth. Tue gift of the perpetual curacy of the parish lies in tie trustees of the late Rev. Chas. Simeon's trust, these gen tlemen at present being the Revs. H. Venn, Dr. Marsh, E. Auriol, W. Cares, and W. Holland. It, is probable that the living will be first offered to the Rev. J. Browne, of Trinity Church; but from that gentleman's long con nection with the congregation of Trinity, it is not thought likely that he would accept the appointment.—Cheltenham Examiner. INSTALLATION OF THE DEAN OF WEST- MINSTER. 1 The Rev. Richard Ch enev i x T renc h, 8.D., ;o f T r i n it y Co llege, Cambridge, wh o h a d b een a pp o i n t e d t o th e d eanery of Westminster, in success i on to t h e V ery R OT. Dr. Back land, dec ease d, was i ns t a ll e d w i th the usual ceremonies yesterday morning in the Abbey Church. A large ntina• bur of parsons attended. At 10 o'clock Lord John Thynne, the sub-dean, and two of the canons, the Rev. Dr. Words worth and the Roy. John Jennings, entered the Abbey, followed by the Rev. J. C. Haden (the precentor), the Rev. Messrs. C. M. Arnold, G. Repton, and E. Antrobus (minor canons), the Rev. C. B. Scott (head master of West. miustor School), Mr. St. Clair Bedford (the chapter clerk), and a large kody of choristers in surplices. Full choral service was performed, the prayers being intoned by Messrs. Antrobus and Maden, and the lessons read by Mr. Arnold. At the end of the first lesson, the Rev. Mr. Haden, the precentor, and Mr. Bedford left their seats and proceeded to another part of the Abbey, from which in the course of a few minutes they returned, followed by the new Dean, who who was not present during the first part of the service. The Queen's inundate, authorising Lis in stallation, was presented to Lord John Thynne, and it was read aloud to the congregation. Mr. Trench took the usual oaths, and read iu Latin a declaration promising to maintain the office of Dean in its integrity, and properly to administer the funds of the Abbey. Lord John Thynne then conducted hies to his stall, and in this consisted the ceremony of installation. The re mainder of the service was then proceeded with, the anthem, which was beautifully executed, being taken from the 106:1 Psalm. Mr. Tarte preside lat the organ. SHIPPING.—(This Day.)
