ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. —The special services
under the dome were continued hat night. Hundreds were
unable to gain admission to the cathedral. The prayers
were intoned by the Rev. F. Calvert, and the lessees were
read by the Rev. Canon Dale. The anthem was, "Keepwo
beseech thee, 0 Lord," by the late Mr. Buckland, the former
leader of the choir. The preacher for the evening was the
Right Rev. Dr. Fulford, Bishop of Montreal and Metro-
politan of Camels, who chose u his text Genesis, let chap.
v. 1,2, 3, " In the beginning God created the heavens awl
the earth." The bishop remarked that it was the day when
the church, according to her seams., recommenced the
reading of the Scriptures, end our familiarity with thou
should not lead us to overlook the great and important
tenths wi'h which every page was instinct. The re-
searches of science had thrown much light on the earlier
history of the world ; but there was nothing in whet had
thus been learnt that wu inconsistent with the truth of
the Bible inventive. There was little doubt that the crea-
tion of man did not take place at the first stage of the
earth's formation, but many thousand years elapsed during
which it was inhabited by many strange creatures, and
when it underwent extraordinary changes and violent con-
vulsions, before God proceeded to the accomplishment of
his great pis the creation of man. After quoting
Bishop 's " Meditations on the Creation," the
preacher proceeded to show that as the creation
of the world was patient and progenitive, when it might
have been accomplished immediately, so in the spiritual
regeneration of man a like progreadve course was adopted.
I Although 1,800 years had elapsed since the proclamation
of the Gospel., yet there was still a vast portion of tho
world where its *round had not been heard. Although
6,000 years had elapsed since the creation of man, there
; were immense areas still uninhabited. Thu faithful could,
1 however, look forward to the time when all that wee good
for them would be revealed. But the church would not
; flourish, if, in soiW of all difficulties, it lost its missionary
1 character. At the present time, when so much had been
I done abroad, there had been an unprecedented activity in
• good works at home. The serums neat Sudsy evening
will be preached by the Ray. Edward Parry, rector of
