THE CRYSTAL PALACE AND THE CLERGY.
A meeting of the clergy belonging to and resident
within the archdeaconry of London was held at Sion Col-
lege, London-wall, on Thursday, at 2 o'clock, "to consi-
der in what manner the clergy may best express their
opinion upon the encouragement which will bo given to
increased desecration of the Sabbath, if the Crystal Palace,
now erecting at Sydenham, shall be opened as a place of
public recreation on the Lord's Day. The meeting was
convened by circular, addressed to the clergy, by the Rev.
W. IL hale, archdeacon of London; and the attendance
on the occasion was rather numerous. Amongst those pre-
sent were—The Venerable Archdeacon (who occupied the
chair), Dr. Only, Dr. M'Caul, the Revs. Messrs. Ruddock,
Wicks, Wilson (vicar of Islington), Cox (vicar of St.
Helen's), Mackenzie, Good, Murray, Horne, C. Marshall,
E. Annul, Rowe, Toogocvl, Povalt (minor canon of St.
Paul's), Dears, Short, T. B. Murray, Abbiss, &c. The
proceedings having been opened by prayer,
The AIWIDRACON said that it was right that he should
state that it was not in compliance with any requisition
from any body of the clergy that be had taken upon him-
self to call the present meeting of the clergy and archdea-
cenry of London ; but he was well aware, from a conver-
sation which he had bad with one or two influential per-
sons among their number, that it would be agreeable to
them to be called together. (Rear, bear.) The course
he thought that they must adopt would be, to appoint
a committee to draw up some declaration of their feelings
—(beer, hear)—but what that declaration should be, and
to whom it should be addressed, were now points for con-
sideration.

The Rev. Mr. Rt DDOCR. president of Sion College, said
he would advocate an application from that body directly to
the Rouse of Commons, and should certainly be entirely
averse to any application from the clergy to the private
mryoratien of shareholders of the Crystal Palace.
The Rev. Mr. SHORT would suggest that, on ouch a
momentous question, the Bishop and clergy of London
should approach the foot of the throne, and represent the
strong. feelings which animated them to their gracious
Sovereign.
The flee. Dr. Client said, that after the observations of
the archdeacon and other gentlemen, very little was left for
limes anybody else to say. Ile thought the first question
was, whetUr they had irufilcient grounds for moving in this
malfee. It seemed to him that there could be no question
es that point, from the circumstance that the Archbishop of
Canteebeep and two other bishops had already taken the
metier k Mad, and acted upon it. The next point was es
to the to whom they ought to apply. He thought
it wMM be rather a degradation far the clergy of London
to appal te a joint-stock company; and as to the Home of
Comma% be did not think the affair sufficiently advanced
he then he apsdy to it ; but if the giver of the :barter was
Lewd Dee*, be tbireett the man who had to give it wee the
men w be smiled to to refuse it.
The Rev. Dr. M'Caut thought that before adopting an
else the Ant step they should take was to agree to the
riiprioeiple, that they viswedtootith botvror end alarm.
:eattrz,e_tiaus.r...d„°°wr which the allialevedowlsobuolial
brig the wrath and displeasure of add on the whole
nabs, ((tsar, bear.) He should, therefore, move " That
this sitsUair views with horror and alarm tits possibility of
the egonlog of the Crystal Palace at Sydeuham, or its
green', by .uy public authority, on the Lord's day,
thereby OVille a sanction to the national violation of the
divine assemasid, easa selling down upon this nation them
judgments Moaned in the divine word against those who
prefabs the Sabbath day."
The see. T. B. Murray seconded the motion.
The resolution moved by Dr. M'Caul was then put and
carried unanimously.
Tho ARCHDRACON then read an address which he had
prepared, and which, if they agreed to adopt it, might be
sent by a deputation to Lord Derby.
The Rev. Mr. Cox moved that the address just read be
adopted substantively by this meeting.
Dr. CIVOLT seconded the motion, which was put and
carried nem. res.
A committee, consisting of the Archdeacon, the Rev. Mr.
Widdock, Dr. Croly, Dr. M'Caul, and the Rev. Mr. Good,
was then appointed for the purpose of making such verbal
corrections in the ahnve addresses they might Anil neces-
sary prior to its receiving the signatures of the clergy of the
archilesconry ; after which, the aforesaid committee, with
the addition of the Rev. Mr. Co., are to form a deputation
for the purpose of presenting the document to Lord Derby.
The Rev. T. 11. HORNE then moved, and the Rev. 8.
W ices monocled, a vote of thanks to the Archdeacon, which
was unanimously passed, and the proceedings then termi-
nated.

A BARON IN DInTREAS.—The Conatitutionnel re-
lates the following striking example of the vicissitudes of
fortune: About a fortnight Nieman old man, about 80, pre-
sented himself at the inside of Chatillon suit-Seine to
demand the %null assi•taneo given to paupers when travel-
ling. This octogenarian was the Baron d'Ypres, Chevalier
of the Holy Roman Empire, bachelier rsscicnces, and a
descendant of one of the most honourable families in
France. He had been rich and happy, but at the time of the
insurrection of St. Domingo he lost his father end his
fortune. Ile is now proceeding at an allowance of 15
centimes a league to Tijoin some member of his family in
the He de la itkunion, who enjoy a certain property, and
have east for him to cows to them.
