barracks, and there his Majesty embarked. The
Emperor walked from the station to the steamer,

French and English sailor*, who bad promptly manned the
yards of their respective vessels. After visiting different
points for the purpose of considering questions connected
with the embankment of the river, the Eclair stopped
at Port Jkrome, opposite Quilleb,euf, where the

leave of his Majesty, after presenting to him the Mayor of
Rouen, with the Presidents of the Tribunal and Chamber of
Commerce ; and the train, attar a very short delay, started
for Paris. On the occasion of this journey, the Emperor
promoted M. Bouniorau and M. &ornery to the rank of

CONSECRATION or ST. Lums'a CHURCH, KING'S-
Cgous.—Yesterday morning the Bishop of London conse-
crated this church, the foundation stone of which was laid
in 1855, by the Marquis of Blendford, now Duke of Marl-
borough. The building, adjoining the Eustoii-mad, is a sister
church to St. Matthew, Oakley-square. The style ie early
decorated, and presents from the reed a pleasing exterior,
though somewhat lessened by the trumaited condition of the
tower. The interior has a light cheerful air about it. The
pews are plain and neat, capable of containing, with the
gallery, 1,200 people, two-thirds of the seats being free. The
gallery is neatly decorated, and somewhat spacious. The
desk is elegant, and the pulpit in well placed, but the scroll-
work round the panels is not yet put on. The chancel
is simple and pleasing to the eye and without any inappro-
priate decorations. The roof in high pitched, but in no way
inconvenient to the sound, which reverberates through the
building clearly and distinctly. The present building cost
about 7,445 W., but still there will be some 500/. deficiency,
not including the completion of the tower, the organ,
schools, or parsonage house. Towards the church the Earl
of Ellesmere contributed 1,000!., a British merchant 250/.,
while the Skinner.' Company have been liberal contributors..
The conimittee,with their energetic chairman ((anon Dale),
have beau enabled within tho last ten mouths to have this
appropriate and elegant building re.tily for consecration.
The constructioe is alike creditable to the architect, Mr.
Johnson, of the Adel phi, and Mr. Dove of IsHogton, the
contractor. The Bishop was received by the Rev, Canon
Champneys, vicar of St. Pancras, the Rev. Canon Dale, the
Ray. Messrs. Phillips, Clemenger, Manley, tee. The Rey.
C. If. Andrews, Theologicid Associate of King's College,
Lendon. and formerly curate of St. Pancras, has been ap-
pointed to the incumbency.
