BAIMISLZT New CHAPILL.—On Tuesday lost.
Abe new chapel at Barnsley, to which Lord FITz-
WILLIAM So largely contributed, was opened for
public service. The solemn high mass was per-
formed by the Rev. F. TILAPPII, assisted by the
Rev. CMAIILZI LATILTIZ, sod the Rev. MICRAEL
TRAM. The prayers and sermon were given by
the Rev. B. RATIIIIIT. from Genesis, xxviii. 17,
and in so impressive a manner as to arrest the at-
tention of a numerous and respectable audience.
What added not a little to the solemnity of the ce-
remony was, the number of priests who attended
within the sanctuary, in their surplices and stoles.
A very handsome collection was made after the
Gospel for the benefit of the establishment, both io
I the gallery and in the body of the chapel.
