Three prebendal stalls in the Abbey Church of West-
minster having now become vacant, the crown becomes
entitled, under the ecclesiastical commission act, to the
appointment of one new prebendary.
The Bishop of Salisbury purposes consecrating the new
church at Ditton Marsh, near Westbury, Wilts, on the
30th instant, and the parish church of Codford St. Mary,
in the same county, on the 2d of October. Some other
consecrations arc fixed to take place early in October, in-
cluding the new churches at Newton Toney, Wilts, and
Broad Town, near Swindon.
DURHAM CATHEDRAL.—The prebendaries of this
cathedral have, in the course of the last twelve years,
given no less a sum than £lOO,OOO towards the foundation
of the Durham University, arid £120,000 towards aug-
menting the poorer livings in the diocese.—[This fact
ought to be universally known and remembered ; but we
wonder how much the prebends of this establiahment will
be able to give when their salaries are reduced to the scale
fixed by our church reformers. They will then have suffi-
cient for a respectable maintenance, but universities will
e rain in atatu quo, and poor livings continue poor ]

PUBLIC ADMISSION OF A. ROMISH CONVERT INTO THE
CHURCH OF ENGLAND.—An interesting service took
place in the new chapel, at Ellerker, parish of Branting-
ham, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on Thursday, the
sth instant, in the admission of a person professing al-
legiance to the Bishop of Rome, into communion with
the Church of England. The convert was a young man
—Mr. Bohann—who was attached to a party conducting
the government ordnance survey of the county of York.
He had been for some time in a course of discipline and
instruction, under the care of the Rev. G. F. Townsend,
Vicar of Brantingham ; and on the above named day was
admitted, in the presence of the Venerable Archdeacon
Wilberforce and other clergymen, into the holy com-
munion of the National Church.

DIFFICULTY OF RAISING AN ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL
AT JERUSALEM.—The ground was purcc.ased in 1838,
but the preparations for the building were not commenced
till February, 1840, and Mr. Johns, the architect ap-
pointed to design and superintend the progress of the
structure, did not arrive in Jerusalem till July, 1841.
The first difficulty was to form a foundation, owing to
" the honeycomb nature of the debris accumulated on
the rock of this portion of Mount Zion, arising from the
numberless sieges and earthquakes Jerusalem has been
subjected to, from the time when David wrested his
' stronghold ' from the Jebusites, till the wars of Mehe-
met. Such uncertainty of soil and rubbish existed (Mr.
Jobns adds,) that you could not form any coi,jecture as
to what the next blow of pickaxe would alight upon,
whether a portion of the ruined chamber, loose lubbish,
some part of a destroyed arch, perhaps in an inverted po-
sition, a portion of a broken floor, or of tolerably solid
masonry, and this would probably rest uponloose rubbish."
He was accordingly compelled to proceed down to the
rock itself, upon which on the 28th of January, 1842, the
first stone was laid by Bishop Alexander, at the depth of
35 feet from the surface. On tie 2d November, the first
stone above ground was laid by Mrs. Alexander. The
work advanced till the middle of January, 1843, when it
was stopped through the interference of the Turkish au-
thorities, at which time it had reached five feet from the
ground. Some idea may be formed of the loborious na-
ture of the operations, when it is known that the greatest
depth of the foundations is 42 feet, the least upwards of
30, and that the cubical contents amount to more than
forty thousand cubic feet of masonry.

hastened away from this view of the pass by the violent
plunging of one of the horses in Lord Glenlyon's car-
riage, that defied all the efforts of the servants to
soothe him ; and so alarmed did the ladies become—
this being at a narrow part of the road, and immediately
overhanging a frightful precipice—that they got out.
Here ter Majesty and Prince Albert, with the rest of the
party 'walked on foot for fully a mile to the scene of the
Falls. The walk itself is a charming one, combining
every variety of mountain scenery. In some parts the
road was so narrow as with difficulty to permit two per-
sons to pass, while a fall would have sent the unfortunate
person thirty or forty feet over the rocks into the brawl-
ing stream below. Her Majesty, however, we understand
did not betray any symptom of fear, but gaily trode along
the footpath ; and at the end of it was well repaid by the
view which there presented itself. The Tummel here
finds its way through a succession of rocks, which seem
hurled in confusion together, telling a tale of former con-
vulsions of nature. The time at which her Majesty saw
this magnificent scene was too late for her obtaining a
sight of a beautiful natural phenomenon which is always
to be seen in sunshine. The spray thrown up by the
river in its fall, when shone upon by the beams of the
eastern sun, form two magnificent rainbows at distinct
points, but which may be seen together, and which com-
pletely span the fall. After walking about for some time,
and viewing the falls from three different points, one of
them a very rude sort of stone chair, on which her Ma-
jesty sat down, and where the print of her foot, visibly
left on the soft ground, is already regarded by the inhabi-
tants With almost superstitious admiration, the party re-
turned to the carriages, and drove back through the Pass,
where they again stopped to have a parting look at the
stupendous rocks that here gather on every side. The
field where Graham of Claverhouse was shot—the house
from whose window the fatal bullet was fired—as well as
the stone marking the spot where he fell wounded from
his horse—all attracted the attention of the royal party.
About half-past six they returned to the Castle.
About nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert, attended only by a servant of
Lord Glenyon's as a guide, crossed the Garry at the ford
of Invervack. and proceeded on horseback to the hill of
Tulloch, a height on the opposite side of the road from the
Castle, and immediately overhanging the Inn. Arrived
on the summit, her Majesty and Prince Albert dismounted,
and walked for some time along the ridge, commanding
a view of Strathgarry, as far as the Pass, on the one side,
and Glen Fincastle, on the other. They then remounted
their ponies, and at half-past eleven returned from the
hill. It may be added that her Majesty took he ford
both in going and returning, without alighting from
horseback. On returning, her Majesty's attention was
attracted by Lord Aberdeen's huntsmen, who were stand-
ing around, and one of them was called up to speak to
Prince Albert. Her Majesty was dressed in a shepherd's
plaid shawl, and a mourning dress.
On Thursday morning Her Majesty and the Prince
walked about the grounds, and in the afternoon the royal
party went some miles down Glen Tilt, to obtain a view
of some of the vast herds of wild deer, of which there are
said to be 12,000 or 15,000 in the glen. In the phaeton
with the Queen were Lady Glenlyon, Lady Canning, and
Lady Caroline Cocks, and Prince Albert, Lord Glenlyon,
and some others of the noblemen and gentlemen of the
loyal suite were on horseback. After proceeding about
four miles down the glen the carriage was stopped, and
the gillies and forresters, who had been previously sent
out to drive the deer, sent several large herds of forum 50
to 300 up to the crest of the hills, where the noble animals
were seen to the greatest advantage, standing out against
the clear sky. In the afternoon the Marquis of Breadel.
bane and suite, in a carriage and four, arrived at the
castle, on a visit to Her Majesty.
On Friday morning, the Queen and the Prince were afoot
as early as half-past seven, walking in the grounds. The
Princess Royal was abroad upon her Highland pony. Her
Royal Highness spends the greater part of every day in the
open air, and has got as a playmate a fine manly fellow,
the young master of Glenlyon, a boy about four years old.
He wears the regular Highland costume of kilt and plaid,
with a tiny dirk, &c., and the eagle's feather in his
bonnet ; and the happy pair of children may be seen at all
hours of the day sporting on the lawn and in the grounds
around the castle. In the afternoon the royal pair took a
drive in the carriage.
Orders have been received on board the royal steam
yacht Victoria and Albert to have every thing ready for
her Majesty's embarkation on Monday, the 30th instant,
on which day her Majesty has signified her intention of
leaving Scotland on her return voyage. The yacht is still
lying in the river Tay, off Dundee, and it is understood
that her Majesty will embark at the same place where she
landed, and that the royal party will leave Blair-Atholl
on Monday morning, immediately after breakfast, and ar-
rive in Dundee between three or four o'clock the same
afternoon, whence they will proceed at once on board the
yacht. By this arrangement her Majesty will arrive at
Woolwich near mid-day on Wednesday. The voyage
from the river to Dundee occupied upwards of forty-two
hours, and, calculating that it will take the same time to
return, should her Majesty embark at Dundee at four
o'clock on Monday, the 30th, the yacht will reach Wool-
wich on Wednesday, October 2. about ten o'clock.
The Princess Royal is very frequently seen riding, or
running about the policies, and as the Highland guard,
whenever she approaches them, present arms, they are
much more frequently called upon to discharge the duty
towards her than to either of her royal parents. Her
Royal Highness is a stout active girl, and appears to be
in the enjoyment of the most perfect htalth.
It has been already mentioned that the Prince had shot
three harts on Saturday. Besides shooting these three
harts, the Prince wounded another. The largest one shot
was expected to weigh from 16 to 18 stone—it actually
weighed 15 stone. The others weighed 11 and 12 stone
respectively. To shoot the deer when running—or, as it
is called here, " on the run"—is held to be good sport in
the Highlands. It appears that the Prince shot all, three
" on the run," and he is in immense favour with the
Highlanders on account of it. Indeed, he only requires
the tartan in order to become quite the man of their
hearts. If repert speak true, it is not unlikely that the
Prince will use the national dress during a part of his
stay, as a large supply of tartans has been brought to the
Castle for inspection. Her Majesty too delighted all the
" gude wives" of Dunkeld by the way in which she took
the Princess Royal on her knees at the window there, and
tied on her bonnet. The whole demeanour of both-the
Queen and the Prince, whenever they do appear here in
public, is most kind and considerate; and they invariably
acknowledge by bows the salutations of the people, who
are beginning to understand the real nature of her Ma-
jesty's visit, and her desire to be allowed to live as pri-
vately and be as free from the fatigues of royalty as
possible.

HER MAJESTY IN A HIGHLAND INN.—On reaching
Dunkeld the royal cortege stopped to change horses, and
a delay of half an hour took place, when her Majesty,
Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal, alighted, and
entered the Duke Arms Inn, kept by Mr. Grant. Here
her Majesty and Prince Albert were regaled with Atholl
brose, while the young Princess was supplied with milk.
The Queen asked for oaten cake, a portion of which she
gave to the Princess, and at the same time explained to
her the nature of the bread, and its peculiarity as an
article of food in Scotland. It appears that the idea of
the royal party alighting at the inn had never been enter-
tained, and consequently no preparations were made for
their reception. Lord Glenlyon, only a few minutes
before the carriages approached Dunkeld, rode on before,
and communicated her Majesty's intention, and, as may
easily be supposed, the whole inn was instantly thrown
into commotion by the unexpected intelligence. Land-
lord and servants alike were sadly perplexed. The want
of fit preparations for a royal lunch, which it was pre-
sumed her Majesty and Prince Albert wished to take,
was felt as a sore mishap, and every one was running to
and fro, eagerly making such preparation as the circum-
stances of the case would adroit. The house itself was not
in a condition deemed worthy of royal visiters. The stair
happened to be uncarpeted, the rooms were not garnished
with decorations such as the eye of a Queen might delight
to rest upon, and,,in short, everything was in that state
which an inn may be supposed to exhibit when it is in-
tended not for regular company, but for a host of visitors
who might find it a convenient place from which to wit-
ness a passing pageant. By dint of activity, however,
matters were soon arranged. A loyal draper, who lived
next door, drew from one of his shelves a roll of plaiding
which, stretched upon the stair, served admirably the
purposes of a carpet, and by the time the royal cortege
drove to the door, everything was in perfect readiness ;
while the resolution of her Majesty and the Prince, not
to take lunch, but simply to sip a glass of " Atholl brose,"
saved the landlord from all further perplexity. After her

Majesty's departure, the plaiding which covered the stairs
was purchased at a very handsome price by a gentleman,
who declared that he would not part with it for ten times
its value.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGREMONT AND MAGAZINE REGATTA.

On Thursday last the second annual Egremont and
Magazine Regatta came off under the most favorable cir-
cumstances, much to the amusement of the inhabitants
of Egremont, Seacombe, and the thickly-populated dis-
trict on that side of Wallasey Pool. This regatta is got
up in the usual manner, by subscription; and we are
happy to learn, that it has been very warmly patronised
and supported by most, if not all, of the leading gentle-
men on the opposite side of the Mersey. The committee
for the present year consisted of Messrs. Jas. Cleworth,
William Nutt, Richard Dean, William Roberts, and
Leonard Fosbrooke ; and perhaps a more energetic body
could not have been selected for the purpose. The exer-
tions of the committee were most efficiently seconded by
Mr. and Mrs. Sharpies, of the Egremont Hotel, Mrs.
Dean, of the Black Horse, and Mrs. Roberts, of the
Yacht Inn, at the Magazines.
The weather, on Thursday, was delightful, and most
favorable for aquatic sports. An excellent view of the
racing was obtained from the windows of the Egremont
Hotel, which presented a goodly array of female loveli-
ness, and also from the headlands along the shore, which
were lined will spectators.
The racing was excellent, and afforded the utmost sa-
tisfaction. We subjoin an outline of the prizes and the
order in which the boats came in :
The first was the MAGAZINE Cur, for sailing boats not
exceeding 10 tons; not more than three men in each
boat. The first boat received £2 ; second 15s.

Bootle Bay Buoy Mariner's Friend took the lead to Egre-
mont, was never caught after, and won by two lengths.
The second was the EGREMONT STAKES, value 305., for
boats not exceeding 17 feet keel ; to be rowed by four

oars.
Mr. Leonard's Ariadne

Mr. Dean's George ... .
Mr. Dean's George took the lead to the buoy; in turn-
ing the buoy went too far round, and Ariadne went 11:1*
side, was never headed, and won by six lengths.
The third was the NEW BRIGHTON STAKES, value 305.,
for sailing boats, not exceeding 17 feet keel; three men
in each boat.
Mr. Forshavv's Eleanor .

.round

Mr. Cleworth's boat took the lead, and kept it
the buoy off Egremont ; but in corning up to the starting
place, got too near in shore, lost the breeze, could not
catch it again, and had no chance after.

The four IN as the MAGAZINE Pu u.sE, value 305., for four-

oared gigs.
Mr. Hughes's Brunette.. ".... "
Mr. Sharples's Egretnont Lion ..
A capital race between the Lion and Brunette, first one
and then the other taking the lead, and ended cleverly in
favour of the Brunette : a hard and well contested race.
The Lion would, it is believed, have been the winner had

it been for the breaking of one of her thole-pins.
The boats started at the Magazines, kept to the right
hand of the buoys, went round a boat moored off Egre•
mont, and returned to the starting place.
