protest on the part of the Dean, who was absent ; but
the Chapter declined receiving it, or allowing it to be en-

the Rev. Canon Musgrave, as Hebdomadary proceeded to

ward Cox, 8.D., the Rev. Chancellor Corbett, and ThOs.
Evans, Esq., his lordship's secretary. His lordship then
had the usual oaths ainunistered, and was conducted to
his throne. The Te Donn was then sung, and the Latin
prayers having been offered for the new Bishop by the

Saye and Sele, the Rev. Canon Morgan, Prebendaries
Webb, Venn, Gretton and many others) were then pre-
sented to his lordship in succession, and the usual service
was proceeded with. The vast and superb edifice was
crowded by an attentive and apparently deeply interested
congregation, and his lordship was the object of the most
respectful recognition of the audience as lie entered,
passed, and repassed from the episcopal palace to the
cathedral.

ENGLISH CLERGYMEN IN WALES.—The Rev. J.
Griffith, vicar of Aberdare, has addressed a spirited letter
to the Lord Chancellor, from which we quote the follow-
ing passage:—`` The living of St. Andrews, now vacant,
and in the gift of your Lordship, is one of the most valuable
livings in the diocese of Llandaff. It is also not the least
important. By the exercise of that right which no man
it
will deny, your Lordship has, is said, appointed to St.
Andrews one of your own relations. It is also said, that
the Bishop of Llandaff has remonstrated against this ap-
pointment. It is never doubted but that the gentleman
appointed by your Lordship is a man of great piety, and
great merit. But this is not all that is necessary in the

-parish of St. Andrews ; nor is it all that is necessaryio
render a clergyman useful. One thing above everything
is necessary : it is peculiarly necessary that the clergyman
should be able to communicate and converse in the com-
mon language of his parishioners. In this requisite, Mr.
Sampson is deficient ; and it is for this deficiency that the
Bishop has refused to institute him. His Lordship has
felt himself bound to do so—bound not only by his duty
and his conscience, but also by the, stringent clause of an
act of parliament : an act, indeed, which ought to be not
the less stringent, because it was introduced, and passed,
by 0- Government of • • • Lordf

_ very . which your ~nip was, as
your Lordship is now, the highest legal authority. But,
it is said now, that there is a flaw in that clause; and,

acting upon this flaw, it is further said, that your Lordship
will compel the Bishop to institute. What foundation
there may be for this rumour, I know not ; but I cannot
believe it. It is impossible for me to believe it, my Lord,
when I call to mind the great stress laid upon the clause
durirg its progress through the Upper House."
