Yesterday the morning service was attended by
a out 1,000 persons, and there was the usual de-
monstrations of disapprobation on the part of the-
congregation. They "said" the responses in a loudf
voice, as on previous occasions. The Rev. Bryant_
King, tie rector of the parish, read the lessons j
from the reading-desk. The service was conducted
by the Rev. Mr. Lowder, who afterwards preached.'
the sermon, at the commencement of which a num-(-
ber of persons rose and left the church, delaying
the opening of the discourse for several minutes.
This is a " new feature," peculiar to the last •
two Or three Sundays. Mr. Lowder abstained
from turning :to the cast, 'both at the berrinning•
and the conclusion of his sermon, and thttst
the people were deprived of one of the liniding
centives to that coughing and hissing by• means of
which they e-yince their disapproval of the practices
of the priests. The congregation dispersed quietly,
and there was no case vrhioh led to the intervention'
of the police.
__ In the afternoon there was the usual crowd at the
Litany service, and, for want of the same precau:
tions as were adopted last Sunday afternoon, to
make the people take their seats in the pews, there
was much greater confusion, and altogether the
service passed off less satisfactorily. There Was also
much more coughing than last Sunday afternoon.
The service was conducted by the Rev. C. F. Low-
der, assisted by the rector, and the reverend gentle-
men were well hissed at the conclusion of a service
throughout the whole of which they had been vio-
lently and incessantly coughed at.
The moment the service was ended a Very large
crowd rushed off to Oravelllane, the scene of the late
exploit with the police, and got across the bridge be-
fore they could be stopped. Here they waited with
a patience worthy of a better cause. But they were
doomed to disappointment, for the Rev. Mr. Low-
der, for. whom they were waiting, declined the
honour of attentions more demonstrative than flat-
tering, and availing himself of a tolerably accurate
acquaintance with the thoroughfares in the neigh-
bourhood, he made a detour, by means of which he
reached his destination without coming into contact
with the gaping angry crowd.
'lt has been thepractice of the parishioners to take

lossession of the Choristers' stall; before the service

began, and then to refuse to give them up whenthe
procession entered. To avoid this annoyance the
friends of the rector have been admitted, on
several recent occasions, through the rectory,
and placed in these seats before the doors of
the church were opened to the public. When the
priests and choristers entered in procession, the
stalls were vacated by these parties—mostly
strangers, by the way, for a sufficient number of
parishioners favourable to the rector could not
be found for that purpose—and the choristers then
occupied them in due form. But at last, the
parishioners also gained early access to the dese-
crated edifice, and thus discomfited the Puseyite
party by occupying the disputed benches. But the
rector, with his usual ingenuity, has found the
means apparently of putting a stop to this for the
future, by allowing no one access to the church till
he has filled these seats with his friends. The fol-
lowing letters—hardly in the tone, perhaps, to be
expected of a clergyman of the Church of England
returning to his church after a protracted indispo-
sition—will sufficiently explain the plailiproposed :

TIIE E.EcTort TO TILE SEXTON.
" The Rectory, Dec. 10, 1859.

"To Mr. Cooke, Sexton,
" Dear Sir,—l must hereby inform you that if you open
either of the gates of the churchyard, or the doors of the
church, at the direction of any other person than myself,
with whom alone the keys alike of the church and church-
yard are legally vested, I shall hold you responsible to an
ecclesiastical court.

"I am, yours fathfully,
"BRYAN KING/."
THE nEcron. TO THE SENIOR CHURCHWARDEN.

" The Rectory, Dec. 10, 1859.
" To Mr. Thompson, Churchwarden.
" Dear Sir,—l have been informed that you have had
keys made for yourself, both of the churchyard gates and
also of the church doors. I have taken counsel's opinion
upon the subject, and beg to inform you that this act is
distinctly illegal. I hereby request that you will not, di-
rectly or indirectly, interfere with the opening of the gates
of the churchyard, or of the doors of the church. I, as
rector, in whom alone the keys, both of the church and
churchyard, are legally vested, will take care that the gates
of the churchyard and the doors of the church, are opened
in sufficient time before the celebration of every service of
the church.

" I am, Sir, your faithful servant,
" BRYAN KING."

CHURCH RATE DEFEAT AT CAMBERWELL.

On Saturday a special court of petty sessions for
the county of Surrey, was held at the National
School-room, St. George's Camberwell, for the pur-
pose of disposing of about 500 summonses for non-
payment of church-rates, taken out by the church-
wardens of the district parish of St. George's, Cam-
berwell.

The presiding magistrates were Mr. R. A. Gray
and Mr. Roberts, who were assisted by Mr. Stephens,
the vestry clerk.
_ . _

The first case called on was that of

Mr. George Roberts, of Sussex-place, Old Kent-
road, who objected that the court had no jurisdic-
tion, inasmuch as that the act of Parliament re-
quired that the summonses should be served within
six months of the making of the rate, while in the
present instance a longer interval had elapsed, the
rate having been made on the ISth April last, and
the summonses having been issued only a few days
since.
After a brief consultation.

Mr. Gray said—Your objection is fatal,
.Mr.
Roberts. We must dismiss the summons.

Mr. Roberts—Then I must ask you to grant me
my expenses.

Mr. Gray—That is very unusual in such a case,
and I do not think it should be done, since there is
clearly nothing frivolous or vexatious in the
summons,

Mr. Roberts—Not originally, perhaps, but I
served notice upon the churchwardens two days
ago that I objected upon this ground, and they had
ample opportunity, therefore, to withdraw the
summons. I only ask it as a matter of principle,
and I think I am clearly entitled to ss. for my time
and trouble.

Mr. Gray—Well, we will consider the matter.

(After consulting.) As you served notice of objec-
tion upon the churchwardens we think you are
entitled to your expenses, and we order payment
accordingly.
Mr. Jessie, one of the churchwardens, imme-
diately, and with great good humour, paid the 5w.,
and the other cases were called on.

A gentleman present, however, upon the part of
the defendants generally, suggested that as the
decision on the first case practically ruled all the
summonses to be illegal, the court should formally
dismiss them on the aggregate, so as to spare all
further trouble, but the court said they thought it
better to dispose of each case on its own merits. It
was replied to this that as all the summonses were
dated simultaneously they thought their merits
were the same ; but the court persisted in taking
the uses separately.
Mr. Box (a vestryman) objected to the validity
of the rate, because the last rate had never been
properly collected, and was prepared with other
objections.
The court, however, said the first objection was
sufficient to oust their jurisdiction, and the sum-
mons was abandoned.
The next defendant objected to the validity of
the rate generally, upon the ground that it included

illegal charges. -
This objection also was held to oust the magis-
terial jurisdiction, and the summons was dismissed.
Other summonses met the same fate. So that
practically the rate is defeated, as was done last
year in the same way.

THE STEAM-BOAT PIER AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.
--The repairs at Blackfriars steam-boat pier, undertaken
by the Court of Conservancy of the River Thames, are in-
tended to be of the most stable character. The whole of the
woodwork that has been exposed alternately wet and dry,
having been found more or less damrged, is removed, and
oak planking will be substituted where practicable, and
workmen are engaged driving additional piles, for prevent-
ing the oscillation, as far as possible, of the floating dummy,
which is undergoing a thorough repair. The moveable stage
and lower platform are being newly planked, and the tide
guage pipes are more firmly secured. The works will be
thoroughly tested by competent persons before the pier is
reopened, which is expected to take place early in January ;
in the interim passengers will land at the pier and embark
at Paul's-wharf.
