The ritualist controversy in the correspondence
columns of the Times is waxing rather warm. What it
has yet in store we cannot tell, but the writers must be
getting under the influence of no little excitement
when one of them, the rector of Chialehurst, says in
reference to another clergyman, the incumbent of St.
John's, Brixton :—" I fear that for any one deliberately to
kneel and to ' receive the Holy Ghost' for the office and
work of spriest. and then to call this in fact' • sham,' and
deny that he is • priest, must be terribly near, if it be not
a sin against the Holy Ghost.'"
A return has been published of all the joint-
stock eompanis: formed during the two years from the
31st of May, 1864, to the 31st of May last, when the fur-
ther creation of such undertakings was effectually stopped
by the panic. It appears that the total of companies under
limited liability brought out in England alone during the
24 months was 1,760, or at the rate of 73 per mouth ; that
in Ireland during the same period 85 were introduced, or
at the rate of rather more than three per mouth ; and that
in Scotland the proportion was 57, or rather more than
two per month. Besides this there were 41 companies es-
tablished in England on the unlimited principle, and 32
in the mining districts on the cost-book system. In Ire-
land there was only one unlimited company formed, and
in Scotland the number was 12. The aggregate of com-
panies, limited, unlimited, and cost-book, formed in the
United Kingdom in the two years was 1,988, or at the
rate of 83 per month. The total of limited companies
created in the United Kingdom since the passing of the
act in 1162 has been 5.589, of which a large proportion
have already been wound up or are undergoing that pro-
cess.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—NOR-
WICH, FRIDAY EVENINO.—The preparations for the visit
of their Royal Highnesses the Prirce and Princess of
Wales to Norwich have now reached • very advanced
stage, althoulh, to the great disappoir -went of the
citicens, it has transpired that the royal visitors will leave
Costessey-hall (the seat of Lord Stafford), and consequently
Norwich, on the Thunday in the festival week. This step
has been rendered necessary in consequence of the Prirce
of Wales having determined to comm:noe his journey, to
1 5... Petersburg at the close of next week. The result is
that their royal highnesses will rot attend the ball which
closes the festival, while they will not be able to be pre-
-1 sent at more than two or three of the concerts. The
Prince and Prircess, with the Queen of Denmark, and ac-
I tompanied by General Knoil and Major Grey (in waiting
upon the Prince), the Hon. Mrs. Stoner (in waiting upon
the Princess), the Countess Roventlow (in waiting upon the
Queen of Denmark), and Ci.ptain Cruschiold, will leave
Sandringham-house on Tuesday by special train, and will
arrive pnvately at Dereham, thence proceeding to Oedema),
ball. In the evening there will be a dinner party at the
h_ll,and on the followinl morning theirroyal highnesses and
I suite will make their entry into No-with. It is expected
that the royal party will be escorted iromCostessey as far as
I the boundaly of the city of Norwich, on the Dereham
read, by the Norfolk Light Horse, under the command of
Captain Gurney, and the tenantry of Lord Stafford,
' mounted. At the city bourdaif the Prince and Princess
I will be received by the Mayor of Norwich, the deputy
mayo.., the sheriff, and the city officers; and • procession
will be formed, which will pass along St. Giles's-street to
the Guildhall, where addresses will be presented from the
mayor and town council and the bishop and clergy of the
diocese. After this ceremonial the royal party will attend
I the morning performance in conrexion with the Norwich
Musical Festival, and in the afternoon they will proceed to
Chapel Feld, where they will plant two trees to comme-
mo ate their visit, and inaugurate a drill shed for the local
volunteer corps. The Prince and Princess will then return
to Costeuey-hall, where there will be • ball in the evening.
I The illuminations which will take place in Norwich on the
I Wednesday evening will be of the most varied and ex-
tensive character. Two troops of the Ist Dragoon Guards
have been ordered from the camp at Colchester to Nor-
wich, and will serve as an escort. A large body of the
Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows will keep the lme from
the Crescent entrance to Chapel Field to the space enclosed
for the planting of the trees. This morning a meeting of
some of the pnncipal ladies of Norwich was held to con-
cert measures for presenting some appropriate present
to the Princess.
LORD CLARENDON'S HEALTH.—In reference to
a statement concerning Lord Clarendon's health made by
the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian,
and re-produoed the day before yesterday in the Mes-
senger, we have received a communication from a corres-
pondent likely to be well-informed, assuring us that the
whole account is altogether incorrect. " His lordship did
not leave England," says the rectification, " until towards
the end of September, when his health had become quite
restored by • sojourn of some weeks at Buxton. He then
went to Paris, and afterwards to Switzerisnd, where be
was recently seen in excellent health and spirits, and is at
this moment, probably, at Rome, having made arrange-
ments to return thence direct to England at the beginning
of December. The cause assigned for Lord Clarendon's
illness last summer is likewise entirely without founds

SPAIN.
The Temps of to-day says :
The Spanish government continues its work of re-
vising the whole of lie political organisation and of :
eliminating all the independent and living els- ,
manta which the sacristy and the camp have not
quenched. The Nervier ministry have not failed in their
task. They have suppressed all disagreeable journals,
and as for journalists they have been banded over to courts
martial, who, with a view of teaching respect for the
established authorities, have
iards condemned them to death.
Then, with a view of preserving Span from foreign
poison, foreign and French journals have been prohibited.
Not being able to shoot or imprison us, the government
have simply resolved that the moment a French journal
should attack it or the established religion, its circulation
should be for ever prohibited.
