sion the preacher spoke of as being fun of difficulty.
Blessed as the office was, still experience showed
it to be full of peril, and only to he sought with
repentance and mortification by those who are se, king to
live to God. Sin was awful to handle, it was difficult to
hear and not be denied. They must keep jealous watch
over themselves, framing themselves with discipline,
taking care not to be blind leaders of the blind. The
power of the keys was not new doctrine, nor had it ever
been wholly disused by the Church, although much over-
laid during the last century. Its revival had originate&
not in the agency of man, but in penitents, who tad re-
ceived gifts of grace, not front man, but from the Lord,
through his Holy Sacrament. Dr. Pusey then called the
attention of those who were tutors in the colleges to the
opportunities they had, and the Outies of their station,
acting in the place of parents and guardians, in the bles-
sings they might thus eon'er on their pupils.
The above is a brief outline of the sermon, which occu-
pied nearly an hour and a half in delivery.

It was remarked that in the bidding prayer before the
sermon, Dr. Pusey varied the usual e%prest•ion, " let us
pray for that ' pure and apostolical' branch of the church
to which we belong," into struply "that branch," omit-
ting the laudatory epithe s.

INFORMATION UNDER THE LOCAL BUILDING ACT...-
Oa Thursday the attention of Messrs. Rushton and
Hornby was occupied in hearing the adj-urnel ikquiry of
a case arising out of an information which had been laid
by Mr. Crarey, one of the building surveyors. The
charge was, that a partition wall in the iptui.c of Mr.
Birchenough, of the Royal Railway Hotel, Lime-street
had been removed in a r

nrr cr,n•rary to

such cases required.. The evidence of Crivey went to
show that the wall in question had been taken down with-
out his consent, and contrary to the act. The testimony
on the other side was to the rffect that he (Mr. Crarey)
had been consulted in the matter, and pot•itiveiy given his
consent to the alterations being made. The defendant
was acquitted.

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—The second course ,of
lectures at this Institution for the present season com-
menced on Friday. The suhject is elecution, including
remarks and examples illustrative of oratory, po,t,y, and
the drama; and the lecsnrer is R. H. Smart, Esq., of
London, author of " Winker Remodelled," " Shake..
perian Readings," " Practice of Illocution," &c. In
saying this, we say sufficient to assure our readers that
the course will be in the highest degree itoerestis g and,
instructive. Those who were present on Friday evening
need no such assurance, nor any additional inducement to
hear the remainder of the c.urse. The opening lecture
was chiefly occupied with an ex planation of the nature
and uses of elocution, with iliustr &ores. serious and
comic, of the various styles of reading. E o •ution, the
lecturer observed, when properly understood and taught,
was in reality an important past of education. It was not
the art of acting, or even of public speaking exclusively-I
it was not the art of reading wish a pomp us and theatrical
manner. It was calculated to make all the other parts of
education produce their proper effect on the mind. He
fben explained the nature of language, showing that artieu-
IStion and modulation were necessary to its perfection; and -
divided the modes of reading into the mechanical, the sig-
nificant, and the impassioned, these being all separate and
distinct from acting. M echanical reading was what a child
was first taught, and was similar to the style in which a
person would read a passage, who had the same passage open
before him, a simple enui.ciatinn of the words without any
view to effect. In significant reading the object of the
reader was to convey the sense of the words, not to ex-
press a meaning of his own, but merely to tell what the
author said. This was reading strictly so called, and re-
quired modulation of voice to do it properly. The full
expression of a passage must, however, rise beyond this.
The reader must adopt the sentiments of the author; be
must make them his own for the time, and deliver thrin
with all the warmth and earnestness they might happen to
require. To act a passage the reader must take up another
person's manner ; he moat suppose himself to he the per-
son into whose mouth the lines are put. In illnstratfon
of these distinctions the lecturer' cited the well.kno*n
passage from Hamlet, containing Polonius% advice to his
son. His different modes of reciting it afforded an ad-
mirable exemplification of his remarks; and, in finally
assuming, in its delivery, the character aed tones of thn
superannuated chamber'ain, Isis excf lleht mimicry took
the audience completely by snrpr-se and drew (lows' thun-
ders of applause. Acting, however, Mr. Sm art observed,
was no necessary part of elocution as a branch of etluca-
that this slrs .ould be clearly o-
