ExEran.—We ( Wooloner'is Exeter Unzette ) have
much pleasure in announcing that the Dean and
Chapter of Exeter Cathedral have resolved as soon
as the necessary arrangements can be effected, to
hold the Sunday aftertmon service in the navo
instead of the choir. It is proposed to cover the
iloor with substantial cocoanut matting, to provide
from 12 to 14 lundrol chairs for the use of the con•
gregation ; and to add a side key-board to the
organ, so as to enable the organist to command the
choristers in their new posit' . The whole cost of
these arrangements, estimated at upwards of £6Oll -
will be defrayed by an individual member of the
Chapter, who has very recently attested his interest
in the Diocesan Training College by a very munifi-
cent endowment. Under the new :urangeinent
persons entering the nave of the cathedral on Sunday
aftenioosis will be required at once to take their
seats and remain there with becoming reverence
until the condos of the service.

of Uplyme, were on Wednesday week brought before
