P.ROSECU7ION OF "ESSAYS AND

REVIEWS."

This apparently interminable subject, which has
i
occa-
sioned so much controversy and so much angry feeling n
the Church, will be brought once more before Dr. Lushing-
ton, the Dean of the Court of Arches, on Monday, the 3d
of November, unless, indeed, the case should come before
the Judicial Committee of Privy Council on technical
grounds arising out of the learned judge's decision on the
admissibility of the articles of the 25th of June last. The
Bishop of Salisbury intends prosecuting the case against
the Rev. Dr, Rowland Williams, vicar of Broad Chalke,
and has amended the articles filed in accordance with the
decision of the Court, so that probably Dr. Lushington
will be able to pronounce judgment on the merits of the
case in the course of the forthcoming term. The proceed-
ings are taken under the general ecclesiastical law, and not
under the statute of Elizabeth, and the specific charges
which Dr. Williams has to meet are set forth in the revised
articles which the Bishop of Salisbury has framed. The
bishop has reformed the articles in which Dr. Williams is
alleged to have said that the Bible is simply an expression
of devout reason, and that the sacred writers were merely
passionless machines, as being a violation of the 6th and
7th of the I hirty-nine Articles of Religion, The bishop
has also reformed the 12th article filed against Dr. Wil-
liams, in which he is alleged to deny the views held by
the Church of England on the propitiation and satisfac-
tion made by Christ for the sins of the world. Some
other articles have been reformed, but the articles which
are now omitted, , and which will not be argued, contain
the charges against 14. Williams of denying the Messianic
character of Christ, the authenticitfeof the Book of Daniel,
the Epistle to the Hebrews, and the Petrine Epistles, the
divinely ordained nature of water in baptism as a means
grace, the doctrine of the resurrection, and the incarna-
tion. That article is also omitted which dec'ares that
the tendency, object, and design of the whole Essay is
to inculcate a disbelief in the Divine inspiration and
orthodoxy of the Holy Scriptures. In the course of the
next term the case of the Rev. James Fendall, M.A.,
rector of Harlton, and proctor in the Lower House of Con-
vocation for the clergy of the diocese of Ely, against the
Rev. Henry Bristowe Wilson, 8.D., vicar of Great Slaugh-
ton, Huntingdonshire, the author of the article on the Na-
tional Church in Essays and Reviews will also be proceeded
with, and judgment probably delivered.

The works in the interior of the cathedral of
Notre Dame, which were resumed on the 17th of August
last, will not be terminated before the 20th December next.
The building will then be reopened for public worship. The
closing of the church was necessary from the nature of the
repairs to be effected. More than 200 workmen are at pre-
sent employed in repairing the arches of the nave, the
chapels, and pavement,
in fixing the iron railings, and in
restoring the windows.
