It is the characteristic of our constitution that it renders

MR, GODSON, MEMBER FOR KIDDERMINSTER, now

Mr. Godson having arrived from London only a few days

OPENING OF THE CIIURCII OF THE JESUITS IN
MATPAIR.—The first church which we believe the Jesuits
have ever possessed in London was opened yesterday by the
Right Rey. Dr. Wiseman, assisted by Dr. Browne,
R• 011111 Catholic Bishop of Wales; Dr. Gillis, Roman
Catholic Bishop of Edinburgh, and a numerous clergy. The
church standa in a mews. The form and style of the church
are, we believe, the work of Mrlicholes; but the deecrations
of the easetnary and of the inteeier are due to Pugin. On
the right and the left of the high altar, and in either aisle, is
a chapel—the one of the Blond Sacrament, the other of St.
Termini (the founder of the Order) aid another saint.
With the intrinsic beauty of the church the furniture and
equipments of the altar are in harmony. The wheal is •
gift from Sir Charles Tempest, and will serve to illustrate
the liberal character of the general decorations. The mere
binding of the book, we are informed, cost 381. Between
the beginning and conclusion of the pontifical service, Dr.
Wiseman preached a most impressive sermon on the hist, ry
and present situation of the Jesuits; on their emulsion
from Rome previously to the democratic outbreak, as from
other states and countries on the eve of revolutionary
trouble.; and congratulated his own flock on the accession
of such tellow-soldien in a due form, and with adequate
means, to their common warfare. In the evening Dr.
Browne delivered a sermon. In future, however, it will
generally be, it is to be presumed. not bishop., but the mem-
bers themselves of a srciety which has been always famous
for its preachers, that will make the walls of that church re-
sound with their exhortations, expositions, or d.nunclatiots.
LAYING THE FIRST STONE OP THE NEW FULHAM
WOILICHOIIIII BY THE SNOOP or LONDON.—On Monday
afternoon the ceremony of laying the first stone of the new

bitants of both parishes, to the amount of about 800 persons,

ated on a riot of ground of five IMO in extent, on the side
of the high road leading from Hammersmith church to Ful-

hospital and receiving-hones of which are already erected, is
