CMUIICH ESTABLISHMENT IN I itELAND.—The
clergy of the established church in Ireland consists
of 4 archbishops, 18 bishops, 300 dignitaries, and
about 1,200 parochial incumbents; and the tithe
and church revenues, which in 1799 amounted to
about 45,0001. are ut this time suppased to be of the
value of 679,0001. per annum. Mr. Wakefield,
from the estimate of well-inf4rmed persons, has given
the value of stone of the bishoprics, as full w:—
The primacy of Armagh, 14,0001.; Derry, 12,0001.;
Kilmore, 10,0001.; Wateford, 7,0001.; Clogher,
10.0001. The livings in the gift of the Archbishop
of Cashel arc worth 35,0001. per annum ; of the
Bishop of Cloyne, 50,0001. ; of Cork, 30,0001. ; of
Ferns, 30,0001. Killtdoe has 109 benefices, many
worth 1,5001. per annum. In the bishoprick of
Cloyne one living is worth 3,0001.; one 2,0001;
and three 1,5001. each. The deanery of Down,
which in 1720 was worth only 2,0001. per annum,
now lets for 3,7001. The rectory of Middleton, in
the county of Cork, in the year 1785, yielded
scarcely 8001. per annum ; at present it produces
upwards of 3,8001.

As the Rev. Dr. Barrett, of Trinity College, Dub-
lin, was walking one day in the Provost's garden,
two of the students, who were looking out of a
window, perceived him, and having procured a
looking-glass, on which, catching obliquely the rays
of the sun, they directed them full in the face of
his Reverence, who being offended at the indignity,
procceded directly to the apartments of the young
gentlemen, and said, " Well, Mr. B. and Mr. IV.
line you each 10d. for eastinercjiections on one of
the heads of Trinity College."
The Earl of Lonsdale caused four fine fat cattle
to be slaughtered and distributed, on St. Thomas's
Day, amongst the poor in the neighbourhood of
Lowther. Ilis Lordship has also iven e...ions to
famish them with a quantity of warm clothing.

CONSECRATION 01-. TOE ROYAL CHAPEL
BRIGHTON.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 2.—This chapel, founded by
his Majesty, has been consecr.ited this day by the
Bishop of Chichester. At an early hour the prin-
cipal avenues leading to the chapel were occupied
by carriages, and though the morning was very un-
favourable, the solicitors for admission were very
numerous.

The exterior of the chapel is a simple and eleg.
gant structure, but the approach to it is not com-
pletely finished. The chapel is fitted up in a style
of suitable magnificence. The pulpit and reading.
desk were richly covered with crimson velvet; the
communion-table richly decorated with similar cost-
liness, and enrompassed with a gilded railing. A
gold chalic', &c. stood on the table. The gallery,
projecting over one extremity of the chapel, is
ehastefolly and beautifully painted. It was occu-
pied by the gentlemen and choristers of his Majesty's
Chapel Royal, St. James's.
At the opposite extremity, and separate from the
aisle, is the space assigned to the Sovereign and his
suite.

A few minutes before 11 o'clock, the chapel was
(Tened to those who hail previously obtained tickets
to witness the ceremonial of its consecration,

His Majesty entered the chapel at about half apt
hour atter eleven o'clock. The curtains, placed be-
tween that portion of the chapel assigned to his
Majesty and the aisles, were thrown aside, and in
the centre discovered the King, dressed in a rich
blue uniform.

On the left, and separated from. his Majesty by
a crimson curtain, we observed the Princess Ester-
hazy, Lady llarcourt, Lord and Lady Ci. mynghtun.
On the right of his Majesty stood Sir Benjamin
Bloomfield, and several other distinguished members
of his Majesty'y suite.
The Bishop, his Chaplains, the Preacher, the
officiating Minister, and other clergy,
.passed thru'
the middle aisle to the communion table, repeating,
alternately, the six first verses of the 24th psalm—
the remaining verses by the choir.
The Bishop and the Chaplains within the rails ;
the officiating Minister to the desk, and the Preacher
near to the pulpit.
The Bishop, sitting in his chair, received the
King's mandate for the consecration of the chapel,
which he placed on the communion-table.
The usual prlyers at the consecration of a chapel
then followed, idler which—
The Bishop, sitting, the act of consecration was
read by the Chancellor, and signed by the Bishop.
and ordered to be registered. The Bishop conclud-
ed with pronouncing the final blessing, after which
—" God save the King" was finely given by the
choir.

The service concluded about half-past two o'clock.
The chapel presented a coup (twit of imposing
magnificence and effect. The communion-table and
organ, as fwell as the royal seat, are splendidly
atbrned with draperies of crimson velvet ornament.
cd with gold. The communion plate is also of the
richest and most valuable description. The strnc-
ture, from its size anti extent, affords room for a
large congregation ; and from the simple expansion
of its root; is peculiarly adapted for the perform.
ance of sacred music. This, we remarked, was
particularly exemplified while the choir was per.
forming some sweet passagei in the Tc Delon, and
also in the responses of the communion service (the
beautiful composition of Jomelli). The natural
harmony was here much increased by the peculiar
and happy adaptation of the building to the pur.
poses of sound.
His Majesty appeared in excellent health, and
seemed to derive considerable satistitetion from the
beautiful performance of the choir. The organ was
played by Mr. Attwood, organist of St. Paul's ca-
thedral.

A beautiful bouquet, composed of the following
flowers, was sent to some ladies resident in Here-
ford, by a friend in the immediate neighbourhood,
on Christmas-day :—Dark and light coloured roses,
violets, sweet peas, mignionettes, Indian pink, sca-
bius, pink valerian, stock, heart's ease, polyanthus
(two kinds), sweet scented colt's foot, colutea, single
sunflowers, luuristinus, arbatus, candy tuft, African
marigold, American grounded, grape hyacinth, and
everlasting. The flowers retained all their summer
fragrance.
His Majesty has now in his possession aline wolf-
dorb•, which tidlowed the royal carriage from Her-
renhansen to Wetxlar, a distance of more than 70
English miles. His Majesty observing the dog,
ordered him to be taken care of, and he has since
proved so sagacious an animal as -o become quite a
favourite of his Majesty. Ile is called Wetalar,
from the place where he was first taken up.
Farms have been offered to solvent persons, for
seven years, free of rent, on condition of thjr being
kept in good order, and the tenant paying the poor
rates, but the utters have been refused!!
