WORSHIP AMONGST TIIE IRVINGITES.
The series of interesting articles in the Telegraph entitled
" Unorthodox London," contains for its last publication it
description of the worship amongst the Irvingites. The
writer reminds us that at first Irvingism seemed to promise
nothing but a more Rationalist Presbyterian Church. It
acknowledged, however, two doctrines not generally
taught :-1. 'The revival of the Apostolate, dormant
since the death of St. John with the restoration of the
fourfold ministry as a necessity of Church organisation ;
and (2) the recognition of prophecy as a present mode of
communicating the directions of God's Spirit to man.
The latter has been the means of leading it on till
its worship is as ornate and complex as that of the
Boman Church. To witness,. however, the full develop-
ment of this cult us, one must visit Gordon-square, London,
at ten o'clock on Sunday morning. There is a short
" forenoon service," lasting about half-an-hour. There
are nearly fifty clergy in different vestments. The ritual
is altogether florid. After it comes the "Eucharistic
Service," which is as complicated and ornate as the Roman
Mass, though couched, it is true, in the vernacular, but
making the sad mistake of wearisome length. The service,
commencing at ten, and puoceeding without pause, is not
over until nearly one. The sacrificial vestments, on
the occasion of the visit of the Telegraph cor-
respondent, were of white satin, with gold adornments ;
the " Angel," as celebrant, wearing the cope. There
were people in black tippets and people in puce tippets,
and people in short surplices, with coloured stoles (irre-
verently termed " ribbons " by the present Archbishop
of Canterbury), sometimes over one shoulder, some-
times over both, all very picturesque and incomprehen-
sible. There were others in a simple white dress, girt in
with a cord at the waist. The effect was imposing;
but one could not help feeling that all this, in
a Romish church or even an English cathedral,
comes with some sort of sanction, at all events on the
score of antiquity. Concede the prophetic utterance, and
every detail has a meaning. But failing this it is simply
the old fable of the world on the back of the elephant, the
elephant on the back of the stand-
ingtortoise, and the tortoise stand-
in on nothing at all. As a musical performance the Eucha-
ristic service at Gordon-square is decidedly above par.
The old and venerable-looking gentleman who performs
the office of celebrant during two whole hours in that vast
building must be blest with the lungs of a Stentor. The
rendering of the " Preface" in the monotonous cadence
peculiar to ecclesiastical music, and then the burst of
music from the choir in the " Trisag,ion," are very effec-
tive indeed. The " Agnus Dei" was also very sweet.
The music chosen for the different parts of the ser-
vice was as eclectic as the system itself, and this made
the tout ensemble a little patchy. Though not called
by the special name, there were virtually half-a-
dozen anthems, and many repetitions of the
Lord's Prayer, during the long morning service. A
Homily " preceded the Nicene Creed, and was true to
its name. There was no pretence of preachin? power in
fact there was rather evident the studious avoidance of all
Sower display. The subject was the allegory of the
_P, which formed the Gospel for the day here as is
Mae Eatablished Church.

FRAUDS ON FRENCH MERCRANTS.—Arthur de Cissy,
alias Count de Cissy, Count (le Belfort, and several other
titles, has been finally examined at Bow-street, on a
charge of fraud. The

parcels, which he gave to the prisoner. A manufacturer
of fans in Paris stated that she received a letter from
don bearing armorial bearings, requesting that she
would send over some fans. She sent_ twelve,
worth about £lO5, and received back seven.
Two pawnbrokers proved that the missing fans
were pawned at their shops by the prisoner. Five charges
were brought against the mock count, and it was said,
that many more could be preferred, only the persons de-
frauded did not care for the expense of coming from
France to prosecute. The prisoner, who reserved kis de.
