DOVER, 8 'ATURDAY
-T-he remnant orffie—allant body bi
T ~"` zyt names'are i rishably linked with the he.o44:lgA, -
fence of the city of Lucknow have jusi- arkiF,an
here,' to take upiheir quarters in this garfibn,
. having -landed it Tortsmouth at 9 o'oiock this ;i /. 11I:
morning. Theie arrival had been anticipated with.llll( 711
a good deal of enthusiasin by the people of Dover,
ever since the depot of the regiment, under Major
' Clapcott, was removed hi er from Aldershott, and
it became knit_ _• .e joined here by r'
the head-. • returning fram
India; and t e vith did credit
to the grateful and patriotic feelings of our towns- .
men. For some weeks past it lias been determined
that whenever the head-quarters of the regiment
should arrive something like a demonstration should
takeplace, and also teat a more substantial mark
of the sentiments entertained for the courage and
endurance manifested by these gallant fellows under
circumstances of. the utmost danger should-- be
afforded. To advance these objects a committee of
townsmen wos formed, with one of the oldest and
most esteemed inhabitants, Mr. C. Lamb, as its
chairman. By these gentlemen a subscription was
opened, and we,are glad to state that the response
has been such that a fete of some kind will at no
distant day be given to the gallant fellows who
arrived here on Saturday, in celebration of their
return home. Upon this point the commanding
officer will of course have to be consulted, but it is
more than probable that it take place in the
course of the ensuing week. It was understood
that the train conveying the troops from Ports-
mouth would arrive here at half-past 5 o'clock, by
which hotiea Vast concourse Of persons had assem-
bled at the railway station and its approaches. In
the interior of the statiou was a large assemblage
of the very elite of the place, in this its most
fashionable season. Among the official personages
were Major-General Cranford, with his Aide-
de-Camp, Captain Malet, Brigade-Major Barnard,
Colonel Cuppagei R.A., Captain Triscott, R.N.,
&c. On the outside a very large crowd had
gathered, patiently keeping their ground from the
time mentioned as the expected hour of arrival un-
til the train actually entered the station at about a
quarter to seven o'clock, The chairman and several
gentlemen of the committee above referred to were
also in attendance, and on the arrival of the train
headed a procession then formed, and which passed
through the principal streets of the town to the
military quarters at the Western Heights, preceded
by a banner bearing the .inscription, " Welcome
home, heroes of Lucknow !" The arrival of the
train was greeted with loud huzzaing and waving
of handkerchiefs, and the greatest enthusiasm was
manifested, these demonstrations being warmly re-
sponded to by the Lucknow men. The 'bands of
the Oxfordshire Militia and of the 32d depot were
in attendance and played on the way to the Heights
" Home, sweet home," and such other airs as were
suggested by the circumstances. The number of
civilians, which comprised some thousands on quit-
ting the railway station, increased at every step,
and the cheering was incessant: At several win-
dows flags and laurels were displayed. Some of the
poor fellows seemed touched with the ovation, and
when on reaching'their quarters the depot saluted
the colours of the regiment, for the honour of which
so much had been sacrificed and imperilled, the
scene was very 'affecting. The head-quarters are
about 300 strong, and-with the depot, which is in
an admirable state of discipline, the entire strength
of the regiment is about 1,100.

RELIGIOUS -.DISSENSIONS IN ST.
GEORGE'S EAST.

Yesterday there was a repetition, though not to a
very serious extent, of the disgraceful disturbances
in the parish church of St. George's-in-the-East.
The morning service was conducted by the Rev.
Frederick George Lee, S.C.L., of St. Edmund Hall,
Oxford. There were some strange singularities in
the service which arc worthy of notice, inasmuch as
they are partly the causes whichlend to keep alive
the spirit of religious animosity. with which the
parish is unhappily afflicted. The rector is away,
and the churchwarden (Mr. Thompson) who has a
most painful and difficult duty to discharge, states
in reply to inquiries that he does not know where
the rev. gentleman is, nor who is ‘• in charge" of the
parish. There is, consequently, no one who is re-
sponsible for the ecclesiastical condition of the parish,
and the churchwarden is at the mercy of any strange
clergyman who may appear to take the duty. At the
commencement of the service yesterday morning,
Mr. Lee appeared at the altar, to which he did re-
verence, in the vestments of a Roman Catholic
priest, the ordinary ecclesiastical habit of a clergy-
man of the Church of England being entirely dis-
pensed with. The reading desk was also ignored
by him. He knelt in front of the altar and intoned
the prayers, and when the time came for reading
the lessons that duty was performed by a layman,
who ascended the desk habited in a.. plain whitesur-
plice of a pattern similar to that worn b,y acolytes4f
of the Church of Rome. At the close of the Com-
minion service Mr. Lee (who had previously dis-
pensed with the Litany) ascended the pulpit in his
white robes, consisting of chasable, manciple, stole,
&c. To the uninitiated in ecclesiastical millinery
it may be stated that the vestments consisted, not
of an ordinary linen surplice with the graceful ap-
pendages of scarf and university hood, but of a
yellowish white cloak fastened close round the
neck, all the trimmings consisting of broad gold
lace embroidery, with a cross %oven into the back.
He selected for his text the 4th verse of
the 9th chapter of St John's Gospel, " I must work
the works of Him that sent me while it is day ;
the night cometh when no man can work." The
sermon—or rather the last half of it—consisted of
a general condemnation of the press on account of
its malignity ; of the Church, on account of its
apathy ; of the public, •on account of its
antipathy to the ultra High Church party; and of
the mob of St. George's parish, who (the rev. gentle-
man delicately observed) were disciples of the
gospel of Belial and followers of •Beelzebub. His
sermon, so long as he kept to his text, was one of
a much higher character, both for lucidity of ar-
gument and sound evangelical teaching, than .one
generally hears in London pulpits. Although of
the simplest character, it was clearly the work of
a gentleman and a scholar. Departing by a despe-
rate leap from the text which he had so well ex-
pounded, Mr. Lee proceeded to a consideration of
the present state of the Church and Church parties.
He drew a lamentable picture of the State of the
Church at the time when Wesley and Whitfield
aroused it from its slumbers, and seemed to think
that the present position of affairs had not much
changed for the better—or, rather would not have
changed for the better at all, had it not been for
the Oxford movement, with which he very honestly
admitted he was, a sincere sympathiser. In the
church of St. George's, he remarked, there was a
form of service which was not generally recognised
in the national establishment, but nothing was
done there in violation of the law of the land,
which in ecclesiastical proceedings allowed great
latitude. Owing to the publicity given to
last Sunday's proceedings, there was an
overwhelming congregation at the afternoon ser-
vice, NN hich was commenced at a quarter-past two
by the Rev. Hugh Allen, M.A., the lecturer nomi-
nated by
,the vestry. The preacher selected for
his text the 18th chapter of Ezekiel, verse 32,
" For I have no pleasure in the death of him that
dieth, said the Lord God. Wherefore turn yow.-
selves and live ye." The sermon was of a highly
explosive character. Towards the close the rev.
gentleman begged the congregation to depart
peaceably as soon as he had pronounced the
benediction. A very few indeed followed his
advice, and nearly 1,000 persons waited for 'what
is called the rector's servica, which commences at
four o'clock, and which consists of the Litany said
before the altar. It was quite plain from t!ae cha-
racter and demeanour of the people that a serious
disturbance might be expected, but the intention
on their part was thwarted by the very commend-
able and discreet conduct of Mr. Thompson, the
churchwarden, who at a minute or two before four
o'clock went into the vestry and informed Mr. Lee
that he would, in fulfilment of his duty, render him
all the assistance he could in his performance of
the service, but that he would not be responsible
for the result if it were persisted in. The result of
the interview was at four o'clock made known by
the churchwarden, who ascended the steps of the
reading desk and announced that the four o'clock
service was suspended. Still the people were un-
willing to leave the church. At length a man with
vigorous lungs, and who ran the risk of ecctepiasti-
cal censure for " brawling," proposed that the
Doxology should be sung, and gave it out; in due
form. It was executed with consideratily ;more
strength than harmony at its close, and al .ter a few
hisses and groans the churchwarden, with the assis-
tance of the police, suceeeded in de arirg the
church.

MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1859.

The news of the Congress seem to be very uncer-
tain as to results. The plenipotentiaries are fight-
ing rather shy of each other. The fact is they do
not know what to be at, for fear of giving offence
one way or the other. The question of the Duchies
is the difficulty, for Austria is most anxious for rein-
stating the exiled Dukes,while France is secretly desi-
rous of having Prince NAPOLEON invitedto Florence.
How matters will end does not at present appear ;
but if Austria persists in espousing the pretensions
of her protegees the quarrel may yet be fanned into
a flame. On the other hand, the people are
heart and soul determined to be united to Piedmont,
if France permit them, which is very doubtful,
seeing the private desires of NAPOLEON, who in
this instance is all powerful unless some considera-
tion for other advice persuade him to the contrary.
Peace at the present juncture may be more politic
for him ; but for how long must mainly depend
on circumstances. The speech of M. de MORNY
is fraught with some under-current of mischief,
however plausibly he may pretend. Our course is
clear. To be prepared is our only safety ; and in
taking proper precautions we have as good a right
as others, without being questioned as to our mo-
tives.

Everything now seems to be very dull in Paris.
Speculation there is none, and trade is at a stand-
still. The following from a correspondent is rather
amusing : " The military spectacle brought
t 6 Paris all the most accomplished pickpockets
of Europe, and every one has some story to
tell of the marvellous tricks of cleverness
that have been displayed : amongst others is
the substitution of a pair of ordinary spec-
tacles for gold ones that adorned the nose of one of
the most wealthy of the bankers, who did not be-
come acquainted with the robbery and the change
that had occurred until his family remarked it on
his return home. An illustrious foreign Duke, who
has long resided here, and astonished the admiring
world with his diamond waistcoat buttons, is said to
have been shorn of some of his jewels ; and several
ladies were divested of their shawls, immediately
after the shower of rain, under pretext of clear-
ing away some of the watery element that had been
imbibed."

Our great contemporary, by whom so many swear
as their master, has at length begun to admit facts,
and to reason a little, as well as banter, on the bal-
lot. A few days ago it admitted for the first time
a statement from its " Own Correspondent" in Mel-
bourne, a gentleman who is a warm supporter of
the Ballot, as to its successful moral working there.
The other day it admitted, after a little fair reason-
ing as to the working of the Ballot in those small
boroughs which its Reform Bill of this spring
consigned to schedule A—it admitted, what we
recently asserted, that the Ballot is needed to pro-
tect workmen against being intimidated by each
other. "We are quite sure," it observed, " that at
this moment, if it were put to the Ballot, the authors
of the strike in the buildings trades would find them-
selves in a considerable ''minority. Every class
wants protection against itself even more than against
its betters, and. the Ballot certainly might do some
good there." Our readers may remember that the
rem Ark we have italicised is precisely the one which,
accotrding to the Sydney papers, was exemplified
by the first election under the ballot in New South.
Wale S. We entirely accord with it. We have
great faith in the good sense and fairness of the
more ii itelligent of the working classes, when these
qualith $ are allowed free action ; but for this, it is
essentia a that they should be protected against the
NEW T 1 KS and POTTERS, and the committees of
despoth u nions, quite as much as against despotic
masters or wealthy corruptors.
On ,Sa turdzky our contemporary receiveJ a wind -
fall, oste which we, however, as well as he wero
pleased tt) 'catch, in the shape of a letter from a
lord, cov,c ,ring on from a person of somewhat more
note than a lord ; and both letters unfavourable to
the Ballot . The inclosed one was from the " talented
author"--s ays Lord Radstock, of one who would
nest, we believe, use such a word as English—the
" amthor o, f Two Years before the Mast,"—R. H.
