CONSECRATION OF THE CHURCH OF ALL
SOULS, LANGHAM-PLACE.

Yesterday the grand and interesting ceremony of the
consecration of this church took place. The ceretnony was
performed by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London,
attendid by the Rev. Dr. flesh", Dr. Burgess, the Rev.
Basil Wood, and a full atti•ndance of the Rectors and cler-
gymen of th:• Established Church.

The exterior of the church exemplified two descriptions
of architecture ; the base and pillars being plain, from the
Corinthian, sur 1111 l units! on •the capital by richly-carved
wreaths from the same class. The belfrey, dial and spire
are aid to he very fine specimens of light and finished
esecution, although subject to the remarks, and we believe,
jokes 01 inane persons. The church, on the whole, viewed
front Iteperit's-street, presents a finished and elegant struc-
ture, of excellent proportion. On entering the church the
altar-piece is seen, the subject he ing the Redeemer deliVered
up by !lentil to the Jews. 'The painting is of great dimen-
sions, and is admirably executed. There is only one gal-
lery, which is supported by octagon pillars, with plain
capitals. The aisle is clear to the altar, and on each side
see the pews, which, we understand, have for some time
since been taken. The interior of the church presents
many decorations in design from temples of Athena. The
pulpits are coven el with rich crimson velvet, and have a
very grand appearance. On the clitoral being thronged,
the congrmation being composed of ladies of the most ele-
gant, beautiful, and fashionable appearance, the cusp dad
was very imposing..

-
Admission was obtained by tickets, given by gentlemen
form. d into a committee by the vestry of the parish. A
number of polite constabli s wet e statiot:ed outside to pre-
ser.e. ordcr, atiti keep regularity among the carriages, of
which there were an itnnte.Ae number.

The congregation eonthretieed arriving at half-past ten
o'clock, and by eleven the church was crowded, hut, in
consequence of some regulations of the committee, nut
inconveniently, the doors Le•i.% dosed un the commence-
ment of the ceremony.
Shortly after eleven o'elcek, his Crete, the Bishop of
London arrive el, atti neleil by his (chaplain ; he was re-
vived at the great door by the Chancellor, the Registrar,
tbe Rev. Dr. Spicy, time• 111iieister, and Vestrymen, attended
by die Conunitte•e and Wellies, bearing their staves, sur-
mounted with massive silver. The Reverend Ilishop was
conducted iii piocession through the great aisle, to the
vestry, where he was rested with full epicopal role a. The
Vestrymen and Rectors, and a number of clergymen. ar-
ranged themselves near the eumwttuiuu table. The Com-
mittee took their stations in the great aisle, and the chil-
dren of time Mary-la-luitine, noel National Schools, dressed
in an uncommonly neat 111311111 r, were placesl in the gal-
leries appropriated for them, as they were tee join in die
response

'l'h.• Rev. Bishop, on these arrangements being conclud-
ed, advanced up to the middle of the altar, where the Rev.
Dr. Sprey presented him the petition, which bring handed
to the It-gistrar, be read it aloud by command of the
ii:shop, who advancing to the front of the altar, declared
he would attend to the prayer of the petition, and would
then provsil to the cuus:•craticn and dedication of the
church. The o►gan here emmat need playing, under the
admirable dir:ction of Mr. Neal, and, from ia hich and
tine swilling tones, had a very sublime t Met. The first
subject was the itch Psalm from David--" The earth is
the Lrd's, and all that therein is; the compass of the
world, and they that dwell dierein : glory be, to the Father,
ta the Sou, and Holy Most." This Psalm was sung from
the tat to the loth verse inclusive, after being recited by
the Bishop, who, attended by the clergyman, &e. proceed-
ed in prtwvs•ion down tl:e aisle and bark, alternately re-
prating the Psalm.

'fhe choir was occupied by some gentlemen from the
Chapel Royal, whose scientific execution of the hymns
contributed much in adding cffi•ct to the imposing scene.
•

Ott this psalm and re-Twist.; being :oncludrd, the Mini-
,qtr presented the Acts of and the tleetla of
Cony; yance, which were plans! on the conitnunion table.
The Ihslsoil then snored to the north side of the altar,
and turning to the con,2regaticn, delivered, in an impressive
moron r. the following whir* sr:--

'• Dearly lvdoveil in the lain!, forasmuch as devout and linty

plsce, in a m.leion manner, to the iterfortrte.et of Ole several offices
of Ile:Tious ; and let us faithfully and devoutly big his

The Bishop then kn:l ling down, a, Ilia the congre:;ation,
offend up an eloquent prayer for the l liviue as!Astance and
blessing* upon the 'hureh. Iht standing up, he delivered
to the congre:iatimt the prayer on entnnotttion, beginning,
" Orant, I r Lord," &c. and the raver for a religions
spirit, commencing, •• Oh Lord ! by thy holy sword,
grant,"
r.
-

The r usual pra!ervt being read, the Bishop took his
teat, and directed the s, ntenee of Consecration to be read,
which was accordingly dime by his Chaplain. The sen-
tence having received his Lordship's signature, and being
pass, id or promulgated, was dirtettal to be lodged in the
Itt-gistry nab the other records.
'I he Nlorning ,S,-rvee was then continence:l. and the ad-
diti 111 l al Lessons and Psalms introduced and delightfully
sung, viz. Psalms Isiaiv., and cxxxii ; the first
Leskm flout the First Book of Kings, from the :NM to the
Whi verse: the second 1,:,,50n was trom the loth chapter
of the Hebrews, from the 15th to the :26th verse.
The bruins were sung in au admirable manner.
_

The et;lleet of the day being read. the Bishop delivered
a short prayur fur mercy and religious attention to the
sawed rites.
The Minister proceeded wit:i the morning service as far
as the prayer of Saint Chrysostom, and the prayers for
grace. Three verses of the 26th Psalm were then sung,
the children and congregation joining in the responses.
The Bishop then mmeded to rex' the Commlmion Ser-
vice, and the collect and prayers for the King, after the
Epistle, and introduction of some tousle, and the singing
of the Sixth Chapter of Corinthian*.
The B shop's Chaplain advanced, and delivered the fol-
lowing address :

•• Ite ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers ; fur
what fellowship bath righteousness with unrighteinianess ? and
what communion bath light aith darkness and what concord bath
Christ with Delia! ? or what part bath he that helieveth with an
Infidel ? and what nommen' bath the Temple of tiod with Idols
for ye are the Temples of the living :oil ;as od bath said. I
will dwell in them, and walk in them : and G I
will be their God,
and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, smith the Lord, and touch out the un-
clean thing ; and I will receive you."

The Bialiop's Chaplain then proceeded to rive the Gos-
pel Irons the *I chapter of St. John, verses 13 and Is in-
clusive.

The Bishop rose. and read aloud the Nicene Creed, the
choir sing* the Hat.litjah.

The Rev. Dr. `prey then ascended the pulpit, and an-
nounced that on next Sunday the Holy Communion would
take place.
The clerk- having given out the tooth psalm, the entire
coneregation ehatimed that sublime prayer of Daviil.
The Rev. Dr. !trey having read the usual prayers, pro-
ceeded to preach hia sermon from the ht chapter of the
book of Malachi, ruse 11 :

•• Fur. from the ri,ing of the sun even to the going down of the
same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every
puce inecliSe shall he oifercil onto my Caine, and a peace-MK:ring,
tor my mime shun be great among the heathens, saith the laird of
lloviz...
_

The iter. Gentleman ilelirerial a most eloquent sermon,
remarking on th.• necessity of Opl niug and hie Hain:,
churches for the promulgation of religion and divine wor-
ship.
_

The Bishop then arose mt the north side of the altar,
and read the prayer tOr the Church militant, and another
prays r ; 'fur which he delivered his blessing to the coil-
gTrgition.
The service being, thus concluded, the Imp returned
in procession to the vestry, and war then escorted to hi■
