On Sunday afternoon a scene which is seldom
witnessed at a London church occurred at thc Chapel
Royal, Whitehall. It had been announced that the
sermon would be preached by the Rev. Charles
Kingsley, M.A., Regius Professor of Modern His-
tory in the University of Cambridge, author of
" Alton Locke," " Hypatia," " 'Westward 110 !" and
many other works which are familiar to the public.
Long before the doors were opened carriages rattled
down to the chapel, while a vast crowd soon gathered
round the building, consisting of bishops and other
Church dignitaries, peers, members of the House of
Commons, and persons of almost every class. A
few minutes served to fill the spacious chapel, and
so densely were the people packed that men were
obliged to hold up their hats on sticks and um-
brellas to save them from being crushed.

Prayers were read by the Rev. Erskine Knollys,
M.A., chaplain to the Bishop of London (who was
present), and Mr. Kingsley preached, selecting for
his text the 12th chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the
Hebrews, v. 26, " Whose voice then shook the'
earth," &c. He referred to the changes which had
taken place in men's minds at various stages in:the
world's history, and denied that the demand for in-
quiry in the present day led to doubt_; on the other
hand, he held that it tended to reverence for God's
truth. He denied that the present was an irreve-
rent age, and urged chat such times as the mediaeval
ages were irreverent when the cloistered monks set
up their petty cosmogonies as the word of God.
He ridiculed the doctrine of those ages that there
was a material hell either in the earth, the sun, the
comets, or elsewhere. It was a doctrine of heathens,
and entirely repulsive to Christianity, which was
founded upon the moral work of God. He argued
also against the doctrine of everlasting punishment,
in

sopinions
and expressed his belief that, as at the Reformation
God might be directing men's minds with regard to
theology, ethics, and science into new channels, so
that He might make new revelations to them.
The sermon was listened to with profound atten-
tion and not a little astonishment by the vast con-
gregation. Notice was given that there will be ser-
vices morning and afternoon to-morrow (the day of
humiliation), and it is said that the Prince and
Princess of Wales are likely to attend them. , ,

didates to send in their names, with testimonials as
to character, to the Rev. W. Raynes,• Tutor of the

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, March 19.

St. Patrick's day and night have passed over with
unprecedented quietness. There was scarcely an in-
toxicated person to be seen in the streets of Dublin.
Yesterday it was the same. .No one seemed to
honour the Saint in the old fashion, except by the
wearing Of the shamrock.
In opening the Autumn Assizes at Belfast on
Saturday, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald made some general
remarks on the state of the county. A seaport
town, and such a great hive of industry, with a
varying population, it was hardly to be expected to
escape Fenianism ; but he was glad to find that
loyalty was the rule and a disloyal person the ex-
ception. Parliament had passed a merciful measure
to put down the evil, and they had a satisfactory
assurance that whatever legislation could do to re-
dress real grievances would be done. But it rested
with themselves to eradicate the evil and cure the
wound. The proper place of every proprietor was
on his own estate, among his tenantry, firmly ad-
ministering the laws, and lending every aid to the
Executive ; and he took leave to say that any Irish
gentleman who was, without just excuse, now absent
negleeta a, great duty and neglects the interest of
his country.

At Do wnpatrick, on Friday night, John Logue
was found guilty of the murder of Thomas Graham,
a mere youth, and sentenced to be hanged on the
19th of April. The prisoner had been suffering a
heavy penalty for another felony, and this crime
with two others was committed shortly after his
liberation. He seemed perfectly unconcerned all
through the trial, and unmoved by the sentence,
smiling as he left the dock.
As the same assizes, Mr. Robert R. Tennant, a
gentleman of property and position in the county
Down, was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment
and a fine of £lOO for an aggravated assault on Mr.
Nicholas Delacherois, his brother-in-law. The
offence was committed on Sunday, the 25th June,
in his brother-in-law's house, *hile the latter was
holding out to the prisoner the hand of friendship,
without any reason then assigned, but the cause
was something that had occurred between Mr. De-
lacherois and his wife, the prisoner's sister. The
scene between Mr. Tennant and his friends when he
was carried off to gaol was very affecting.
The Archbishop of Dublin held a confirmation in
Christ's Church on Saturday, when the total num-
ber of children presented out of 11 parishes was only
74. These are the old city parishes, in half a dozen
of which there are not more Church people than
would make one good congregation, and, where,
consequently, there is a great waste of Church pro-
perty and of ministerial resources. The names of
the 11 parishes are Christ Church, St. Michan's, St.
Luke, St. Nicholas Within, St. Nicholas Without,
St. Patrick's Deanery, St. John, St. Audoen, St.
Paul, St. James, and St. Jude.

March 20.

If in former times St. Patrick's-day happened on a
Saturday, there would have been a large number of
persons charged with drunkenness at the police offices
on Monday morning. Yesterday the number was not
greater than on ordinary occasions. The only case of
Fenianism connected with the day is a unions one. A
respectably dressed young man, named John Lee-
dom, in the employment of the Great Southern and
Western Railway Company, went up to the sentinel
on duty at the Kilmainham Gaol on Saturday even-
ing and asked him to go into a public-house and
have a drink, saying, "I am a Fenian." The
soldier immediately called the sergeant of
the guard, and Leedom was arrested. In his de-
fence before the magistrate yesterday he produced
an officer of the company and a constable to prove
that there was not a more loyal man in Dublin, and
that he had himself some time ago given a person in
charge for using seditious language. It was under
the influence of drink that he acted so foolishly, and
it should never occur again. In consequence of this
evidence in his favour the magistrate let him off on
his giving bail for his good behaviour.
The Clonmel Chronicle of Saturday reports a
daring attempt made on Friday night in the town
of Tipperary on the life of a policeman. Constable
Quaid and two others were on duty about 11.30
p.m. It was very dark, and Quaid, observing two
or three persons lounging about, went across the
street to see who they were and what they were
about. One of the men instantly fired at Quaid
from an eight-chambered revolver.
Ibeaaltlnr
en-
tered his great coat and pierced a thicklhe h .
pouch containing a bundle of lettersloadngdedawpiatihrouotf
handcuffs, between which the ball
doing any harm. Quaid then rushed at his assail-
ant, wrested the revolveronuok
tcoefdhhisimhadndows,ns,truanckd
him with it on the head, k
made him a prisoner. The offender's name is
Walsh, son of a coach builder in the town. He
was fully committed for trial at the next assizes.
Yesterday Laurence Donnelly, a railway guard
on the Dublin and Belfast Railway, pleaded
" Guilty" to the charge of stealing a bracelet, value
£lOO, which had been forgotten in a railway car-
riage. • He got an excellent character from the
officers of the company, which the magistrate took
into account, and sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

The Lurgan Gazette reports a case of forgery by
a clerk, who passed a false cheque in the name of
Richards, Brothers, and Co., Belfast, got £192 2s.
for it in Dublin, and has escaped—it is supposed to
America.

At the Mayo Assizes, James Salmon was found
