THE REV. DR. PUSEY

The decision of the vice-chancellor, in regard to Dr.
Pusey's sermon, has naturally caused much excitement in
Oxford, and the Tractarfan party are endeavouring to make
out that the board of inquiry was not fairly selected. We
are therefore induced to copy the following article from the
Oxford Chronicle. although we wish to be understood as

hall was crowded to overflowing, and InuA have contained
from 3,000 to 4,000.

THE CITY CHURCIIES.—So far as we could ascertain as
to the attendance at the city churches on Sunday, we mad•
state that, generally speaking, it was not more than on the
preceding Sabbath.• Some of them were very poorly attended ;
others were better filled ; but, on the whole, there was ex-
hibited a sad falling off as compared with the past. In re-
spect to the new places of %Norship, we may observe that,

while they were all well filled, there was not the sa

in; as took place on the previous Sabbath. • The City Hall,
for example, (occupied by the congregations of St. John's
and the Tron Church,) was tilled to overflowing during both
services, but, compared with the previous Sunday, few had
to go away from want of accommodation. The •services in
the City Hall were conducted in the forenoon by Dr. Bu-
chanan, in the afternoon by Mr. Kennedy of Dornoch, and
again in the evening by Dr. Buchanan, when the Hall was
well filled. Dr. Brown of St. John's was at Kirkintilloch,
where be preached the funeral sermon of Mr. Foreman, late
minister of that parish, who died on Sabbath week. Tile
Rev. Dr., we understand, performed that duty in obedience
to the wish expressed by Mr. Foreman while on his death
bed. The Secession clergymen occupied the same places of
worship as last week, with the exception of Dr. Smyth, who,
instead of being in Renfield Church, was accommodated with
that of Mr. Murray, Associate Seceder, Main-street. and
Dr. Patterson, who left the Black Bull Hall, in which he
met the people in the forenoon, for Bridgegate Church in the
afternoon. We understand that the congregation of Mr.
Somerville, Anderston. was kindly accommodated with the
use of Dr. Struthets's (Relief) Church in that borough.
Four of the city churches, the ministers of which had signed
the deed of demission given in to the General Assembly, were
declared vacant, viz. St. John's, preached vacant by Mr.
M`Letchie of Blackfriars ; Tron, by Dr. Leisham of Govan ;
St. George's, by Mr. Lee of Campsie •, and St. Paul's, by
Mr. Turner of Gorbals. Principal M`Farlan preached in St.
Enoch's in the forenoon, and Dr•. Hill in S . David's, also in
the forenoon—the same rev. gentleman officiating in St.
Andrew's in the afternoon. During one half of the day the
pulpits with the exception of St. George's and St. John's,
.•

were,
wwe believe, supplied by preachers. We may mention
in the case of St. David's, that at the afternoon service there
was not a single imiividual in the galleJy, while the area was
but very thinly attended.—Glasgow paper.

Reizensiein, and Captain Slicker, of the King of Hanover's
suite, were present, and a large party of the nobility and

VISIT TO WINDSOR.—The Queen and Prince Albert left
Claremont soon aft►r nine o'clock on Monday morning, fur
Windsor Castle; the Equerries in Waiting, Colonel Buck-
ley, and Major-General `4ir Edward Bowater, attending.
Her majesty and his royal highness returned to Claremont
about two o'clock. Their Royal Highneszes the Prince of
Wales and the Princess Royal were taken an airing in the
afternooh, in a carriage and four, in the vicinity of Clare-

DEVONSHIRE LACE.—We are given to understand, that
the Queen, from an anxious desire to encourage the British
manufacturer, ordered some collars of lace. to be made at
Beer, a retired village in Devonshire, the shape being fur-
uished by her Majesty. They have been just completed,
and forwarded to Buckingham Palace; arid the Queen, with
her usual discriminating taste, has been pleased to express
her admiration of the extreme beauty of the design, and of
the manner in which the work has been executed. The
collars were made under the direction of Messrs. Cheek and
Tucker, Beer, and the pattern designed by Mr. Butler
Adams, jun., London. We trust that the patronage of her
Majesty, whose correct judgment in all matters of taste is so
well known, will draw the attention and favour of the public
towards this valuable production of British industry.
The will of the late Duke of Norfolk has just been proved
in Doetors'-commons, by the oath of the Earl of Surrey,
(now Duke of Nurfolk,) the only son of the late duke, and
sole executor named in the will, which is dated 26th March,
1840. He bequeaths the sum of £20,000, which had been
standing in the funds for many years, to his son, the Earl of
Surrey. To Lady Mary Howard and Lady Adeliza Howard
be gives £5,000 each. To Lord Fitzalan £1,000; and vari-
ous legacies to the several branches of his family. The whole
of his plate he gives to his son, but directs that it may be
considered as " heirlooms." The residue of his property,
both real and personal, he gives to his son, who succeeds to
the title of "Earl Marshal of England." The personal pro-
perty within the province of Canterbury has been sworn
under £120,000. This abstract, of course, gives no idea of
the great wealth of the late duke. For many years previous
to his death he was intent on increasing the revenues of the
title by adding to theta estates contiguous to his own mag-
nificent domains in different parts of England. In Surrey
and Sussex alone his purchases were encrmously extensive.
The smallness of the legacies to the other members of his •
family may be regarded as an indication of his " ruling
passion," to aggrandise the successor to his title and ruone
than princely revenues.—The Britannia.

EARLDOM OF BUCSIAN.—We are authorised to state, that
Sir Cohn Mackenzie, of Kilroy, whose claim to this :incivu,
peerage, as being the representative of Lady Marjory Fraser
of Inverallochy, the eldest daughter of James, the seventh
Earl of Buchan, was supported by a train of apparently the
most conclusive historical. documentary, and oral evidence,
and confirmed by the opinions of the most eminent lawyers
and genealogists both in England and Scotland, has recently
and accidentally discovered a document, from which it would
appear that Lady Margaret Gray, and not Sir Colin's ances-
tress, was the eldest daughter. Even the existence of this
Lady Margaret was never once mentioned by any. of the
peerage writers, or, which is still more strange, so 'much as
alluded to in the extensive family correspondence of the
time. On the contrary, it was uniformly stated, by several
branches of the family who have assumed the title, and by
all the writers whose names have weight as peerage autho-
rities in Scotland, that Lady Marjory Fraser. of Inverallochy,
was the eldest daughter of 'the seventh Earl. As her repre-
sentative, Sir Colin Mackenzie was, consequently, the person
deemed legally entitled .to the honours. Though the un-
looked-for discovery alluded to was known only to Sir Colin,
he yet, in accordance with the feelings which actuated him
throughout, immediately announced it to Mr. Douglas, of
Brigton, in Forfarshire, whom he learned to he the direct
lineal descendant of Lady Margaret Gray. To this gentle-
man, and to his family, the communication proved a matter
of no little surprise, as neither they nor any in their neigh.
bourhood had ever heard even a surmise of such a right.—
