THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

•
MS GRACE'S CONFIRMATION.
Yesterday was, the day appointed for the solemn
ceremony of the confirmation of the election of the
Bishop of LONDON to the' Archiepiscopate f CANTER..
BURY. The ceremony, like these consequent on the
elections of the Suffragans of the same Archdiocese.
took place in the ancient Church of St. Mary de arcubus
(Bow Church, Cheapside), so called because it firmerly
stood upon arches, and here the ancient Archiepiscopal
Court of Canterbury was held, *hence the present ap-
pellation of the Arches Court.
The cone d'dire, it will be remembered, appeared
in the Gazette of Tuesday week, and the Dean and
Chapter of the Metropolitical Church of Canterbury
having proceeded to the election of the Right Rev. Fa-
ther in tiod, Dr. WILLIAM HOWLEY, Bishop of London,
pursuant to his Majesty's permission contained in a
letter of recommendation, with the ROYAL SIGN MA-
NUAL, the election was certified to his Grace, and he

having consented to accept it, both these preliminary
steps were certified to his MAJESTY, who gave his as-
sent to the nomination, under the Great Seal, which was

exhibited to four Bishops specially appointed for the
purpose, with the Royal commands to confirm the new
Bishop. The Bishops subscribed to their “fiat colfir-
nuttio,' and gave a commission under their respective
Episcopal Seals, to the Vicar-General of the Arch-
diocese of Canterbury, to perfect the confirmation of
the Archbishop Elect.
'These preliminary steps, which are not generally
known, took place last week, when the Vicar General
(Dr. ARNOLD) issued his citation, summoning all op.
posers of the election to meet yesterday morning at Bow
Church, and show cause, if any they could exhibit,

why the election by the Dean and Chapter of Canter-
;bury should not be confirmed. This was dOne by the
appointUsent of the Arches Court on Friday, by pro.
clanriation three times within the Church, and a notice
of the same sort affixed to the Church door, and an
authenticated certificate presented by him to the Bishops
appointed to confirm the election.
At a little before eleven o'clock, his Grace the Arch-'
bishop Elect arrived at Bow Church in his carriage,
and immediately the beils of Bow Church rang out a
merry peal. Soon after the arrival of his Grace, thel
Bishops named in the Commission arrived, accom-
panied by Dr. ARNOLD, the Vicar-General of the Arch-I
diocese of Canterbury, Drs. Pummistous, Lee, and'
DODSON, and the other officials of the Archdiocese.
The Commissioners under the Great Seal were—the
Bishops of WINCHESTER, who wore his rioand as Pre-
late of the Order of the Garter, CHESTER (the Bishop
of London Elect), CHICHESTER, GLOUCESTER, and
ROCHESTER, the oth:ial Sub-Dean of the Archdiocese.
There were besides twelve Proctors in their robes, Dr.
GOODENOUGH, Head Master of Westminster School;

Dr. Vera, Chaplain to the late Archbishop; and a
number of Clergymen, who wore Prebendal scarves.
They remained some time in the Vestry room ; dor-
'

ing which Dr. ARNOLD, who acted as Proctor for the
Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, exhibited his proxy
hum that body, and then presented their return to the
conge trelire, in which they declared they had elected
Dr.Wiwais Howley, Bishop of London, to the Archi-
episcopal See ; and having returned the citation, desired
that if any persons opposed the election they might now
be called on to come for ward and state their reasons.

The Court was then adjourned into the Church.

They entered as follows : The Archbishop Elect, with
a small blue covered book in his hand, containing the
prayers and ceremonies for the occasion. His Grace
toot his seat in one of the centre pews alone—ibex fol-
lowed the Apparitor of the Court of Arches—next, the
Bishops of Winchester, Chester, Chichester, Gloucester,
and Rochester, and to their Idsrdships succeeded the
Doctors, Proctors, and Clergymen.
On arriving in the Church, part of the Morning
Service was read, and a special collect for the new
Archbishop.
The Bishops Commissioners then lefrtbeir pews, and
took their seats round a table in the middle aisle.

The Bishop of WINCHESTER, presiding in an armed
chair, with his back to the Altar, read the appointment
under the Commission from the Great Seal, and sake
other documents.

The Proctor of the Dean and Chapter then preonted:
himself at the end of the table, and said, Lattiod, as
proxy for the Dean and Chapter Otlise Carnet:hail Orrirch
of Canterbury, and present to your Grace (addressing
the new Archbishop), a certificate of your being elected
to be Archbishop and Pastor- of the said See, and pray
that your Grace will be pleased to give your assent to
the said election."
The Proctor then gave in to the Registrar of the Court
a summary petition, wherein the whole previous process
of election and assent (,n the part of his Majesty and the
Archbishop Elect was contained. This having been read,
he prayed that a time might be appointed to prove it.
The Bishop Of WINCHESTER adMitted the petition,
and declared for its being proved immediately.
The Proctor then proceeded to exhibit the Royal As-
sent, with the elected Archbishop's consent to his elec-
tion, iind also his Majesty's certificate to the Bishops,
and desired a term to be at once assigned to hear final
sentence, which the Bishop declared (or immediately.
The Proctor then desired that all opposers of the election
or its confirmation shall be publicly called.
After these ceremonials had been gone through, the
Archbishop elect, in a loud voice, made the following
declaration :

"In the name of Gop, Amen. 1, WiLL/AY HOWLRY, by divine
permission, Bishop of Loewe, regularly and lawfully named and
elected Archbishop and Bishop of the Cathedral and Metropoll-
tical Church of C 111114; Canterbury, and to accept of such election
of myself and my person, so as is made, and celebrated
on the part and behalf of the Reverend the Dean and Chapter of
the said • Cathedral and Metropoinical Church of Canterbury,

Amour: Gon, do accept of such decant' of myself and my person,
so as is premised, made and celebrated to the honour of Ausioury
Gon, Etrllllll/2 Sow, and Hoir Gaon, and do give my assent and
consent in this writing to the election, being once and again asked
and entreated. thereto."
The Paocron then prayed that their Lordships would
be pleased to take upon themselves the duty cf the con-
firmation, and to decree that it be proceeded in accord-
ing to the form of the letters patent, and the exigency
of the law.

The Bishop of Wncnrsern, in answer, replied in the name of
himself and his brothers, that in obedience to the command of the
Sovereign, they would take upon them the duty of the Confirma-
tion' and accordingly declared that an actuary should be appointed
in their behalf.

The Proctor then presented to their Lordships the Archbishop,
and said, •' I hereby do judicially produce his Lordship."
His GIiACS then presented himself at the foot of the table, and
kneeling administered to himself these oaths, viz.
" A disavowal of any belief in Popery, or the power of the Pope ;
Lisle km belie( is the Holy ficriptures, and his decluatiee faithfully
to peal& over the See to wilds be had been elected."
Letters teatinsonial were then made out, and the procession re.
'termed Into the Atwell In the same order as they had entered.—
i'fbe kik ring another peel as his Grace and their • Lordships
departed.
