DISMISSAL OP ONE OP HER MAJESTY'S CHAPLAINS.
—A correspondent, who states that he has the most un-
doubted authority for his information, communicates to us
intelligence of the summary dismissal of one of the most
aristocratic of her Majesty's Chaplains in Ordinary. It ap •
pears that the Honourable and Reverend Gentleman ad-
dressed, on two several occasions, letters to her Majesty,
protesting in the most solemn terms against the worldliness
of the Court, and pointing out the various measures by
which, in his opinion, her Majesty and her Royal Consort
violated the laws of the Church over which the Queen is the
temporal head. No direct communication, our correspondent
adds, was made to the Honourable and Reverend Gentlema.n
in acknowledgment of these letters of advice, and a consi-
derable time passed by without the chaplain hearing whether
or not his priestly counsel was to be hereafter followed. He
has, however, at length been informed that his services will
no longer be required at the Court, and that his name will
be struck off the list of her Majesty's Chaplains in Ordinary.
The matter has not yet been brought before the public.
When generally known, it is fully expected to form the sub-
ject of terrible remonstrances on the part of the Puseyite
Party, of which the dismissed chaplain is one of the leading
and most distinguished merabers.—Adrertiser.
