A TRACTARIAN MODEL CHURCH.

The Record gives the following description of the
church just consecrated in London for the Rev. J.
Bennet and his party :—The separation and magni-
ficent adornment of the chancel of the church are
significant. The body of the building, to which
•the people are strictly confined, is studiously plain.
It is a very well-built and handsome church, in excellent
taste and keeping. But when we approach the chancel
all is changed. Here, all is splendour of adornment.
This large portion of the church is separated from the
rest of the building by a rood-screen. The clergy are
thus placed in the more holy or sacred part of the church
and the laity on a lower level, and without, and there is a
visible wall of separation between the two. The service is
read and chanted within the food-screen, and the people,
who are without, are to hear it through the openings !
Over this rood-screen is raised a huge cross. Another,
gilded, stands on " the altar," between two huge candle-
sticks, in which are lighted candles. On one side of the
" altar" is placed a chair for the Bishop, over which is a
splendid canopy. But this chancel, lighted by a
magnificent " corona lucis," must be seen to be
understood. We are not aware that there is anything
in London that equals it for gorgeous effect ; except,
perhaps, someof the most showy scenes at the Opera house,
or the decorations of St. George's Mass.house at Lam-
beth ; neither of which, however, have we ourselves seen.
The front approach to the chancel is by two brass or
gilded gates, which are kept rigorously closed at all times
by the officials, except for the entry or exit of some of the
ministering clergy. And here another feature is observable.
These officiating clergymen, we perceived, wore, in the
body of the church, a sort of small square black cap. For
this there could be no necessity, as the weather was warm,
being June. But it gave them a distinction above the
people generally, who were obliged to be uncovered. When,
however, any of these young clergymen went into the
chancel, " the holy place," then another purpose of the
black cap was seen. It was instantly taken off, with an
obeisance to the " altar," or the cross which stood upon
it ; and, on withdrawing again, from the chancel to
the body of the church, the cap was at once resumed.
Another circumstance of suspicious appearance was
the use of processions. The congregation being assembled
in the church, a sound of distant chanting is heard. It
draws nearer and nearer, and at last a long procession of
surpliced choristers and priests enters, headed by one
carrying an image of St. Barnabas, which procession ad-
vances up the middle aisle, when the gates of the chancel
are thrown open, and the organ and a body of singers
there assembled greet the new corners with an answering
chant. The chancel is filled by those who formed the
procession, the gates are again shut, and the service
commences.

General Garibaldi sailed from this port for New York
on Wednesday in the Waterloo.
The Earl and Countess of Wilton gave a grand dinner
on Friday, at the family residence in Grosvenor-square.
The Earl and Countess of Sefton were among the number.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Last night, Mr. James An-
derson commenced an engagement at this establishment,
the play being " Othello ;" the leading character sup-
ported by Mr. Anderson, and lago by Mr. Barry Sullivan.
Miss Morant, from the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, played
Desdemona. Our other avocations prevented our wit-
nessing more than a very small portion of the p.ay ;
but in our next we shall be able to give a more assured
opinion as to the performances and merits of the different
parties which they embrace. This day, it will be seen
that " Hamlet" is to be performed, the part of Hamlet
by Mr. Anderson.

-THE LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRI-
TAIN.—The Grand Lodge of this truly Protestant and
always loyal Institution, assembled at the:Wavertree Cot-
tage House, yesterday, for the purpose of transacting the
usual annual business. The Grand Lodge was opened
at twelve o'clock by Brother Ambrose Byford, the
M.W.G.M., supported by the grand officers from all
parts of the country. The routine of business occupied
the G.L. until about six o'clock, after which the brethren
sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, provided by
Brother Kirkup, and served with an excellence which
would have done credit even to the most accom-
plished caterer for the most fastidious appetite.
The most worshipful G.M., Brother Byford, presided ;
Brother M•Douall occupying the vice-chair. The usual
loyal toasts having been drank with all the honours, the
G.M. gave "the glorious, pious, and immortal memory of
the great and good King William the Third," which was
drank in solemn silence. Other toasts and sentiments
followed, and the evening was spent in that true harmony
and interchange of sentiments which peculiarly distinguish
the order.

The Observer says that the revenue returns will show an
increase on the quarter in the customs of X 150,000, and
in the excise of not less than £200,000. The property
tax will exhibit a decrease.

Earl Talbot has made a reduction of ten per cent. to
his tenantry. His lordahip says that he "is fully sensible
that with the present prices, the money laws remaining
unaltered, it is impossible for the tenant-farmer to pay
present rents."

On Saturday last, a steamer ran down a skiff near the
Hungerford Suspension Bridge on the Thames. Six
persons were in the boat, two of whom—Mr. W. Hawtrey,
son of one of the London Common Council, and another
young man, were drowned.

The Mining Journal speaks highly of the quality of the
iron ore found in Lough Allen district, Ireland, which is
said to be not only in average superior to the ores used
in Great Britain, but they attain a richness in iron only
equalled by the blackband ironstone of Glasgow.
The academy at Newport Pagnell for the education of
Dissenting Ministers, or, as it has been called of late
years " Newport Pagnell College," is about to be broken
up. It is said to have been founded by the Rev. Mr.
Bull, the Rev. John Newton, the poet Cowper, and
others, in 1780.

According to a letter received by Sir Percy Nugent, the
Viceroy arrived at Halifax on Monday, June 10—the tenth
day, instead of Tuesday, the 11th. This makes her reach
Halifax 21 hours before the Canada. Lloyds List also
gives the 10th as the day of her arrival, and the 11th as
that of the Canada's.

The town of Stafford and the neighbourhood were
visited by a very heavy storm on Tuesday last. Towards
nine o'clock the-rain began to descend, and shortly after-
wards poured in torrents, the glare of the lightning and
the loud peals of the thunder being truly avvfnl, and con-
tinuing, with a cessation of about half au hour, until
eleven o'clock.

It is said that the New Orleans Burlesque Opera Com-
pany, now performing at the Howard, will take their de.
parture in one of the steamers for Europe. Wilton has
made an arrangement for them with Mitchell, manager of
the St. James, who has offered them 81,000 per week for
six months. The company will consist of ten performers,
seven male and three females, to sustain the el
the burlesque operas.—Boston Herald

• • Last week a constable named Scott, aged 34, died in
Guy's Hospital, from chloroform administered to him
while undergoing an operation for the removal of his right
band, which had been bitten by a man some weeks 'nevi-
ouSly. The surgeon endeavoured to dissuade the deceased
from taking the chloroform, but he persisted in having it
administered. The surgeon said that not a tenth part
was used which he had seen given in other cases, and that
he had no disease. The surgeon added that he did not
think chloroform could be administered in any case with-

THE GORHAM CASE.—On Saturday, in the Court of
Exchequer, the Attorney-General appeared to show cause
on behalf of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir
Herbert Jenner Fust, and the Rev. Cornelils Gorham,

agams, (le rule nisi for a prohi, ...en
granted by that Court at the instance of the right rev. pre-
late the Bishop of Exeter. The Attorney-General stated
his case with great point and brevity, and after he sat down
the chief Baron (Sir F. Pollock) took occasion to express
the obligation of the Court to him for the very able and

succinct manner in which he had presented so

authorities to their notice. Mr. Greenwood
Cowling having followed briefly on the same si

conclusion of their arguments, the Chief Bc.ron said the
Court would hear Sir Fitzroy Kelly on Monday, the in-
terval being such he hoped as would enable him to com-
press his argument. Sir F. Kelly thanked his Lordship,
and expressed his intention to endeavour so to do. Mr.
I Baron Alderson :—You must remember what Bishop South

said to Queen Anne,—" Please your Majesty, if I had had
more time I should have preached a shorter sermon."
BALLOON DISASTER.—On Saturday, the Nepaulese
Princes visited the Vauxhall Gardens to witness the
Ascent of the Nassau Balloon, which took place shortly
after their arrival, and made its way through the clouds
towards Gravesend, beyond which place its descent was
accompanied with imminent peril to the lives of the aero-
nauts. At a quarter to nine o'clock, or thereabouts, it
passed over that town, its course being directly eastward,
but from some cause which has not transpired, it after-
wards descended into the river near the Jenkin buoy. A
barge which was at a short distance from the soot made

towards it ; the crew succeeded in rescuing both _
Green and Mr. Rush from the balloon, which was rapidly
floating down the river. The revenue cutter Fly also pro-
ceeded to the rescue, and having grappled the balloon
found it impossible to the its -,gress until, by dis-

icb
charging muskets into it, they made vents for the escape
of the gas. It then collapsed and was placed by the aero-
nauts in the barge and taken to Gravesend, where it
arrived 'about four o'clock on Sunday morning.. Mr.
Green and Mr. Rush shortly after returned to London.
The first;named gentleman is very much hurt on the head
and face, probably from his efforts to keep on the 1,-"

which was continually rolling and turning over on tile sin
face of the water.
RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA IN CHINA.--Recent
accounts from Cochin China state that cholera made its
appearance in that country in the latter part of last year,
and had committed great ravages, traversing the whole
kingdom. It broke out in the month of September, in
the Royal province, and quickly spread through the other
urovinces, proceeding in a northern direction. It attained
the greatest malignity in the month of Octobe..

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

SIR ROBERT PEEL'S HEALTH.
The following bulletin was issued this morning :
.‘ Whitehall-gardens, July Ist, ll a. m.—Sir Robert Peel has
had a good night and on the whole is a little better this
morning. (Signed) B. BRODIE. •
Great excitement was caused in the Court of Common Pleas
at a' out half-past one when the Lord Chief Justice announced
that he had received a note, purporting to be from the Lord
Mayor, informing him that Sir Robert Peel was dead. His
Lordship stated that he bad made inquiries, and found no such
letter had been written by the Lord Mayor. Inquiries were,
however, immediatey made at Sir R. Peel's, and the answer
was •—" No material change had taken place."
Her Majesty and Prince Albert sent early in the morning to
ascertain how the bon. baronet was progressing, and about five
hundred persons of distinction, of all shades of politics, either
called or sent before half-past one to get the latest information.
The Express states :—" It is currently reported in well in-
formed circles at the West-end, that the immediate cause of the
fall of Sir It. Peel off his horse was a fit with which he was sud-
denly attacked."

LNON, MONDAY, 4 P.M.
Sir Robert still suffers from the pa iO D
n in the side and shoulder,
but is no worse.
THE BISHOP op EXETER P. GORHAM.—This morning, Sir
Fitzroy Kelly replied at great length, reviewing the decisions
of the Court of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, and reca-
pitulating the arguments which he had advanced in those
courts; his address occupied the whole day.
ATHENS, JUNE 19TH.—There are reports of a ministerial
crisis. The Journal Patties has been confiscated. New and
more severe press laws are expected. Vessels coming from
Malta are subjected to quarantine. The treaty of trade with.
Russia has been promulgated.
THE PAPAL STATES.—A letter from Terara, of the 21st ult.
states that a courier extraordinary attached to the Russian
legation atßotne had passed there in great baste, on his road to
St. Petersburg. Preparations had been made at Terara for the
accommodation of a body of Austrian cavalry.
GERMANY—AUSTRIA—VIENNA, 26TH JUNE,—Lord John
Russell's declaration that he was convinced Lord Palmerston
would not act as the minister of Austria, Russia, or France,
had created considerable sensation. There is good reason for
believing that the difference existing between Austria and
Russia on the German question will soon have ceased to
exist.

HOUSE-OF COMMONS.—LAsT NIGHT.
The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. and among the
petitions was one presented by Mr. Reynolds, (who appeared
along with the sheriffs of the city of Dublin, in his civic robes,
from the Corporation of Dublin, against the bill for the aboli-
tion of the lord lieutenancy of Ireland. The attire of the hon.
member excited much attention, and In passing up and down
the house he was greatly cheered.—Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave
notice that as the order of the public business had been consi-
derably disarranged by the debate on foreign policy, he would
make a statement as to the course he would take with regard to
theseveral measures on Thursday next. He would thenstate the
day on which heproposed to proceed with
the mercantile marine
bill.—Mr. Dvsess; asked Lord J. Russell when it was intended
that the National Exhibition of 1651 should close; whether it

scription proving inadequate to repay the expenses of the ex-
hibition, it was intended to ask Parliament either this year qr
the next for any grant of public money towards such ex-
penses.—Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in reply, said it was intended
that the latest period at which the exhibition should be open
should be the Ist November, 1851. He thought it might be
closed earlier. And it was decided that, within seven months
after its being closed, the contractors should remove all the
materials and the buildings. . With regard to the site, the
commissioners had drawn all the reasons for and against the
selection of Hyde Park, and it had been thought best that
those reasons should be drawn up in the form of a report
to the Lords of the Treasury and the house. His lordship then
moved for a copy of that report, which would be in the hands
of members to-morrow. It had never been contemplated to ask
for a grant of public money for the exhibition, it being always
supposed that public subscriptions and the money received at
the doors would be sufficient to pay the expenses, particularly
if it took place as originally intended, in Hyde-park.—Mr.
REYNOLDS suggested, amidst loud laughter, that Phoenix-
park should be selected.—A lengthened conversation took
place upon the subject, after which it was determined that the
discussion relating to it should be taken on Thursday. .
