service in 1) and a selection from Israel in Egypt On

performance has not yet been determined upon ; t
committee hoped to have had the gratification of an-
nouncing that they had succeeded in obtaining a new

Mr. Costa will again be conductor, and arrangements have

Cazareu. has long been felt how
seriously the officinal of many earnest and faithful clergymen
Is impaired by indistinct utterance, and incorrect reading. But
there mewed so hope of improvement, while years were
devoted to literature and science, but few mouths to
theology, and not even weeks or da, s to the mode of
sennoe•working, preaching, and public reading. Reread ,
however, Oxford and Cambridge have simultaneously
moved is this matter by appointing lecturers on the
English language, with special reference to the church
service.. The bishops have signified their decided approval
of the efforts now making. The following letter from the
lord bishop of this diocese has been addressed to a rev.
eestleman who has taken much interest in this subject:—
Eccieshall, Staffordshire, Feb. 15, 1141.—My dear Skr,—
None can attach more importance than I do to intelligent and
correct,aadat the same same natural and devout, reading by
11 the clergy in our churches. Any course of instruction or
of practice which may tend to the attainment of this end
manot but be of great value. 1 beadily. therefore, wish
you memo is the effort which you are making for the pur-
pees. And I remain, my dear sir. faithfully yours, J.
LSCSTIELD. The Rev. Alex. J. D. D'Orsey."—Woirer-

ExTIAOILDIN•ItY Traria-1.% —A-most fearful storm
occurred at Attleborough on Tuesday. Several vivid
flashes of lightning were immediately followed by peals
of thunder, but the fired fish and attendant clap of
thunder seemed the effort of all nature to relieve itself of
its overcharge. Numerous persons residing in different
parts of the town describe themselves as being quite
Manned and rendered helpless for several minutes after-
wards, and in other cases apparently speechless. A
poplar tree standing near the Friends' Meetinghouse
wits shack, ad a large portion severed and carried
away many yards. Every windnw of the chapel and
of two cottages adjoining was shattered. A large post
seeming near was wrenched from the ground sad taken
with fearful speed across the road, where it struck another
post, breaking it is two. On the premises of a wheelwright
about a quarter of a mile from the meeting.h was, a board
wee wrenched off and taken some coesiderahle distance.
Happily no serious calamity occurred to any living creature,
although a child was so 'angularly affected as to have ita
hands lifted to the top of the head, from which situation it,
was unable to remove them for as hour or two. Very
little hail or rain fell during the tempera—Bury and Nor-
