THE BISHOP OP LONDON AT ST. QEOROL 8.
rs-rmitiusr.

Yesterday evening an extraordinary amount of
excitement was occasioned in the push of SL G
the-East, by as announcement that the Bishop of London
would preach la the church which wee is times met the
some of such ul riots. His lordship haa on an. or
I two medusas viiied the church for the purpose of inspect-
is g the enema& and ecclesiastical decorations which
fumed the posa4 of ocintention betimes the rector
,st.
Bryan and Ide parishimers, but until last t
be never took
the &stria say is the services. About thuty
despises of * all babitcd la
their embrace' simedded on the steps of
the *trek to receive his lordship, and there VIM
elm present the churchwardens, overseers, *idealises, and
fremul members of the vestry. The climb nu crowded it
'every part, but the congregation was composed of re-
spectable tradesmee and their families, and numbered few el
that extraordinary class who used to lade'.' themselves
by throwing hassocks at the altar, and singing comic sup
during the progress of the services. Prayers were said by
the 1t... Alfred Cay, of King's College, London, the
curate in sole charge of the parish, and the c
meg with great burliness the Advent and EveiroggTryesiaans,
aid the lOtali NAM. The bishop preached ao aernest,
thoughtful, precticel sermoo, from the First Epistle of St.
Psal to the Corinthians, lit chapter, 7th verse—" Watching
for Me coming of our Lord Jeans Christ." It was a
armee peculiarly apprepriate to the seas ,a of Admit.
which the chinch is now commun.:est*. bet his lordship
made no allusion to the peculiar circumstances of the parish.
It amen that in August, 1860, the Rev. Bryan King, the
rector, obtained from the Archbishop of Canterbury sad the
p of Loudon leave of see-residenes until Dec. 31,1861.
om the bishop's suggestion Mr. Cay was eppointed to the
charge of the parish during that period. Mr. King has ob-
tained a twelvemonth's extension of leave, but he refuels
to sanction Mr. Cay's t, on the ground that
he islands to eanniat• a c man of his own choke
to take the duty next year. The rev. gentleman Imo net
communicated to theshureli wanks' the memo( his nominee,
and on much suspicious feeling is cousomently growing ia
the parish, that the subject will be disease's! ere long at a
public meet* probably with great disadvantage to the
prom of the district. Mr. Cay's tbutire of office expires
with the close of the present year, and the parishioners
are considering the best means to he adopted fur present-
ing boo with s memorial of their respect mid esteem. Next
hsnday three sermons are to be preached in the church is
old of the current expenses ; that in the morning by the
Rev. .1. MConeel Homey, M.A., incumbent of Christ
Church, }Britten; I. the aftennoo by the Rev. It. H.
Mayes". M. A.. incumbent of St. Paul's, Whitechapil ; and

The ministers having been introduced, M. de ffehinerling
declared that the government was not disposed to accept for
offences of the press the special procedure recommended
by the commission. The latter persisted in its former
opinion, as having been agreed to almost unanimously,
and the Chamber is now to decide. The question in
itself is serious, for it amounts to nothing lees than; send-
ing all offences of the press before a jury.

PARIS, TIJZSDA7 Evimsro.

Prince Napoleon will, in all probability, go to
London immediately after the meeting of the
Senate, to superintend the arrangement& of the
French section of the Universal Exhibition. It is
now' said that, notwithstanding the influential
attempts made to burke his speech in the Senate, he
will certainly deliver it.
The Bourse was dull, and the fluctuations were
unimportant. Rente closed without change at
67fr. 50c. and 67fr. 70c. Mobilier was also with-
out change. The Italian loan fell 10c. The
Orleans Railway felll2fr. 50c. ; Northern, lfr. 25c. ;
Lyons, 7fr. 500. ; Eastern, sk. ; and Western,
2fr. 50c. Southern rose 2fr. 50c.

A deliberate attempt at murder, caused by the
" pangs of despised love," occurred at six yes-
terday evening, in the Cud Charlemagne, No. 370,
Rue de St. Denis. A discharged soldier, now 29
years of age, who lost a leg in the Crimea, and is
decorated with the crone of the Legion of Honour,
bad been for some time gasatly onamoured of
Mdlle. Adele, aged 22, the presiding goddess, or
dame de comptoir, of that somewhat ob3eure
establishment. Whether on account of his " one
foot in the grave," or some other reason, the
damsel turned a deaf ear to the mutilated hero's
suit; but once lately she appeared so far to yield
to much importunity as to promise to meet him in
the evening after business hours. When be came,
with beating heart and 'scrupulous punctuality, to
the trysting place he was met by another young
lady, whose intervention is not explained. Whether
she was a friend or a rival of Mdlle. Adele, or
merely a busybody, does not appear ; but, accord-
ing to the legal journal the Droit, the third party
told the lover that Adele was only laughing at him,
and never had the least intention of coming to the
rendezvous. The next day the Cri-nean soldier—
who, it should be mentioned, is now a merchant's
clerk, and in easy circumstances—went to the °di
as usual, and after taking some refreshment pre-
sented himself at the counter, and put down a piece
of money as payment While Mdlle. Adele was
stretching out her hand to take up the money, he
pulled a loaded pistol from his pocket and pointed
it at her. She fortunately saw the movement, and
seized the barrel of the pistol in time to divert the
aim. The charge merely gazed her arm, but she
fell backwards from fright, at the same moment
that the would-be murderer, losing the balance
precariously maintained by his natural and his
wooden leg, fell backwards also under a table. In
this way it happened that the customers in the
odd, alarmed by the report of the pistol, gazed on
vacancy when the smoke had cleared away, and
were lost in astonishment. In a few momenta the
tip of the wooden leg, pointing above one of the
caf6 tables, indicated the position of the discomfited
assassin. Mdlle. Adele, half-smothered in reversed
crinoline, was picked up behind her counter nearly
unhurt. The unhappy man, who was at once ar-
rested, confessed his intention to kill her.

Two monks named Bernard and Belair, both be-
longing to the Order of St. Gabriel, and the eldest
member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, of
Losignan (a man aged 75 9, were separately and
sisooesaively convicted at the recent assizes of
Vienne of criminal assaults upon girls under 11
years of age. The Conatitutionnel, in the course of
some indignant remarks upon the frequency of
these enormous crimes among members of religious
orders, observes that the monki of St. Gabriel do
not belong to an order recognised by the state, and
that it is time to put a stop to the ill-repaid
tolerance which serves as a passpoi. to wretches
who sneak into honest families, and are entrusted
with the education of ch;ldren.

The Monde celebrates tbo eighth anniversary of
the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate
Conception, and takes advantage of the occasion to
announce that " revelations and prophecies worthy
of great respect presage a glorious triumph for the
church, and areal peace after so many vicissitudes."
The Monde was not aware at the moment Of
writing this ardde of the grand eruption of Vesu-
vius on Dec. 8, which the ()merle de France of this
evening considers as a manifest demonstration of
Providence in favour of Francis 11.

and each roller is marked with 25 letters of the alphabet.
If the letter at which it is set should not be discovered, the
exhausting of all the variations necessary in that case to the

CRYSTAL PALACE POULTRY SHOTV.

The fine collection of poultry which the
Crystal Palace directors annually collect, preparatory to the
Christmas sacrifices, was exhibited yesterday to the select
audience who are usually permitted the privilege of the
private view. This year's poultry show, although coming
so closely on the heels of its Birmingham rival and prede-
cessor, seemed to have suffered little from the fact that the
choicest specimens of the race could not do duty at the two
places. It appear that the most valuable birds have a
great objection to travelling, and therefore cannot be made
to go the rounds of 11(10061MaVe shows, like the tulips and
dahlias amongrt the dowers. The exhibit. of the Curial
Palace show are therefore afl debutaats, and must be ad.
mired accordingly. In number of pen the exhibition
does not differ much from that of last year, but the
quality is quite as much improved as the interval would
justify us in expecting.
Immediately after the poultry show M. Blondin exhi.
bind for the second time his novel entertainment on
the low tight rope. The details have already been
described in the Boras, and therefore it is
only necessary here to say that to all who do
not go to see the great acrobat in expectation of the " sen.
elation" to be derived from the sight of a fellow-creature
breaking his neck, the new performance must be much
more attractive than the older and more hazardous one.
11. Blondin is in truth the very prince of tight-rope dancers,
active, vegetal, sad resolute. He dances, throws summer.
seal* and performs prodigies of equilibrium with all the
certainty of an automaton, whilst the ease and grace with
which he does everything communicate a positive serra-
tion at pleasure to the spectator, which is infinitely to be
preferred to the aching excitement of his earlier feats. The
public, who have bean frightened whilst they were at-
tracted by the summer performances, should all go and pay
• Christmas visit to M. Blondin, when they will see every.
thing to amine and gratify them, whilst there is nothing
exhibited which is calerhited either to disorder their nerves
or disturb their tvgestioa.

MORE TROOPS POR CANADA.

In addition to the Persia, Australasian, Adriatic,
and Panama, six other mew tramporte were taken up yes-
terday, and will be got ready with all speed to take troops
on board. The 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards
and the 2nd Battalion of the Fusilier Guards have
received order' to be ready for embarkation at
once. The whole force at present under orders for em-
barkation is as follows ; the corps comprising it have already
been specified :—Two battalions of Guards, four batteries
of Field Artillery, Ave batteries of Garrison Artillery, ix
battalions of infantry, three companies of Sappers and
Miners, two battalions of the Military This, and 40 men
of the Commimariat Staff Corps. Others are under orders
to hold themselves in readiness. The change of armament
in the Warrior will be effected with little trouble. In •
day or so her long Ws will be replaced by 103-pounder
Arinstronsa.

The first battalion of the Bide Brigade, consistiog of $8
officers, 868 men and noncomminioned officers, and six
horses, will embark this afternoon at Dublin, on board the
City of Dublin liteampacket Company's steamers Windsor
and Ttsfalgar. They wi'l as.ive in Liverpool to-morrow
morning, and the two steamer named will, in course
of the forenoon, proceed alongside of the steamer
Australasian, into which they wi'l be trans-shipped,
and sail in the course of the afternoon for the
St. Lawrence. In the course of the same day 90
men belonging to the Rite Brigade, brought over-
land from Winchester, w^l embark from the great landing
step on board the Australasian, which will also take on
board a field battery of guns, together with seven officers and
266 men. It addition to the men and guns there are also to
be put on bond a large amount of cotninissariat rations ;
and a vast socomuletion of sledges, fur conveying troops
and store over ice and snow, has already arrived in Liver-
pool to be carried out by the steamers. The Persia will
seal, it is arranged, on Friday or Saturday. The African
mail steamer Cleopatra was yesterday ordered to be surveyed
ion account of government.

The government has ordered the Royal Mail steamer
Magdalena to be surveyed to ascertain how many troops
she will carry. The Union Steam Packet Company's
steamer Celt, and other ships lying in Southampton Docks,
have been offered to government for transports. The
government, in taking up transports, have not specified
how long they will be required. At Portsmouth the clang
of the hammer is heard all night long in the dockyard.
