OF 771 E EVENING MUT,.

Sir,—ln rekrenoe to an article in your paper of Monday evening,
I beg to elute, that the prayer apponwd by the church to be used in '
"time of dearth and famine," was real at St. Stephen's Church on
Sunday last; and that the omission of the form issued by Mews.
Griersoo was not byonler of the Archbishop, who gave no order what-
ever on the subject. lam not disposed rigidly to scrutinise the com-
mand of those placed in authority—sod, therefore, on occasions for
which the Church has made no provision. I have not scrupled to
use the farms of prayer issued by order of the Privy Connell. But
the present occasion being one for which the church has made ,
provision -and not being aware that the Privy Council have power
to relax the Act of Uniformity, or to shelter the clergy from
the penalties to which they become liable by violating it, my colleague
and I did nut feel warranted in using any form of prayer except that
premeritcd by the prayer.book. It is not my place to defend the
sermon preached by the archbishop on Sunday last. This much,
however, I may say, that the writer of the article in question
strangely Misapprehended his Gram's meaning, the view be took
being, in fact, the exact oppoette of what the writer has represented.

Grey Porter, whose coquetting with the Repealer has ob-

has published a placard respecting Lord Enniskillen, of
which the following is a copy :

LORD Poirrant,tsoron.—This nobleman paid, on Satur-
day, his first visit to the family estates, so long neglected
during the life of the late earl. He was received in Borriso-
leigh by the tenantry of his Limerick and Tipperary estates,
who presented him with an address. His lordship, who
promises to be an excellent landlord, occupied the chair at a
drjerentr which he afterwards gave sonic of the most influ-
ential of his tenants, and had upon each side of him the
Protestant and Catholic clergymen of the distract, who
evinced the most cordial good feeling in their sentinic nta and
intercourse. Lord Portarlington, we are told, after having
left the sum of one hundred pounds for the Relief Committee
of Borriseleigh and gained the goodwill of all by his kind-
ness and affability, departed " amidst the cheers of a grateful
tenantry, and the blessings of the poor."

here to-day (I have been unable to trace it to Its source),
that Lord John Russell has suddenly and unexpectedly
arrived in Ireland. It is stated that his Lordship has been
closeted ell day at the Castle with Lord Bessborough. I
merely mention the rumour as au o,s dit.
