THE EXPAESS, SATURDAY

the Bishop's approval of Mr. Huz.visigillpoln t-
ment as chaplain. The letter contained a formal
admonition of Mr. HILLY• 11.1), and the Bishop, in
informing a deputation of the Guardians
of that fact, authorized them to communi-
cate it to the Poor Law Board. The con-
duct of which the Bishop complained is,
strangely enough, the too frequent celebration
of the Holy Communion. The Bishop writes :
" I require you at once to discontinue the daily
" celebration of the LOAD'S Supper, and to minister
" that holy sacrament only at such times as before
" the present year customary in your church."
This inhibition may be recorded by the aide of the
memorable notice, " You can't pray here," given
three or four years ago by theverger in St. Edward's
Chapel, at Westminster. It gives Mr. HILLY•YD a
certain controversial advantage, of which he avails
himself, writing in his reply, " I must most re-
" spectfully decline to comply with your lordship's
" request to discontinue the daily celebration of the
" Holy Communion." However, the question, as
far as the workhouse chaplaincy is concerned, is not
whether the Bailor or the Rector of St. Law-
rence is ecclesiastically right as to the proper
mode of performing service in that church, but
whether the Bisuor's approval of Mr. HILLY•ED
as Chaplain is withdrawn. It seems that a cler-
gyman may discard the comely usages of centuries,
and deck himself with alb and chasuble for altar
service, and go about the streets in a strange black
silk dress, and not only justify himself, but claim
to be considered a better Churchman than his
neighbours, on the ground that he is observing
canons and rubrics which they have allowed to fall
into forgetfulness. After what we have seen of late
it is impossible to foresee for what practices some
obsolete ecclesiastical rule may not some day be
quoted. Happily, however, these things may be left
to those whom they concern. The guardians of
our unions want pious, moderate, and sensible men,
to instruct the young, visit the sick, and conduct
the services in their workhouses, and the Bishops
have every reason to further their wishes. It is
very likely that Mr. HILLYARD has a right to make
his church so nearly like a mw-house as he does,
and that the Bishop can do no more than issue an
admonition, which he may decline to accept ; but
there is no reason why the Norwich poor should
be committed to the charge of an impracticable
and eccentric chaplain.

however, thronged with spectators. Lord A. Paget, Colonel

Kelley, and Messrs. Barlinsou and Matthews, representing the
Great Western Railway Company, were in attendance, and
received her Majesty and the royal family as they left the
train. Both the Queen and Pliocene Helena looked fatigued.

the spectators as she passed through the town. As her
Majesty reached the cattle the royal steuderd wear an up on

who is an artist..

The report of a dissolution of parliament, and
the appearance of a liberal candidate, induced the conger-
satires of Cambrid:e to bold • meeting on Wednesday

pressed themselves coofideet of returning their present con-
servative members, mid while they repudiated all attacks
on the personal character of Mr. Christie, the liberal can-
didate, they had no doubt of keeping him out of the repre-
sentation.

with tome of the believers present, avowing itself to be the
spirit of a celebrated pirate who bad long since departed
