THE CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHI
GREAT HOMER-STREET, LIVERPOOI

The consecration of this beautiful edifice, dedicated to
the worship of Almighty God, was solemnised yesterday,
by the'Right Rev. the Bishop of Chester, assisted by a
numerous body of the clergy of the diocese, amongst
whom we noticed the Rev. Chancellor Raikes, Archdeacon
Brooks, and the Rev. Dr. WlSTeile, canon of Chester.
A numerous congregat'on was also present on the occa-
sion, amongst whom were our worthy Mayor, Sir Thos.
Birch, M.P., William Brown, Esq. M.P., and various
gentlemen-connected with the town of Liverpool.
Christ Church, as many of our readers are aware, has
been erected by the family of the late Charles Horsfall,
Esq., in memory of their revered and valued parent. The
structure is in the perpendicular style of Gothic architec
ture—plain, yet elegant and chaste both in de,
execution. The sacred edifice consists of a nave, two
aisles, and a chancel ; the interior dimensions of the
church being 87 feet in length by 65 feet in breadth—the
chancel 32 feet 3 inches long by 20 feet wide. The
inside presents what is called an open storey, there being
no ceiling nor galleries ; whilst the timber of the

ign and

roof is carved in the most tasteful style of ancient
Gothic, stained in imitation of old oak. The roof
of the clere or elevated story is supported on two rows of
stone columns, and neatly moulded arches. Over the
chancel, which is at the east end, of course, there is an
elegant and free arch of the same style, which, when
viewed from the entrance of the house, presents a pleasing
finish to the eye. This beautiful structure being intended
to partake more of a monumental than a parochial cha-
racter galleries, have been excluded : but notwithstanding
this there is ample accommodation for at least one thou-
sand persons, of whom it is intended that three hundred
and fifty shall be free sitters. The pews, which, are 126
in number, are exceedingly neat and handsomely con-
structed. The ends of each row of those which have the
corridors or passages are elegantly carved at the top, with
a piece of trellis work, known in building parlance as a
poppy head; they are also stained and burnished in imi-
tation of old oak, as is also the casing of the superb organ
and the fronting of the organ loft. Having been favoured
with an admission to the organ loft, we could but help
being struck with the comfortable and roo

accommo-

dation which is provided for the orgvnist and the numer-
ous double choir. The organ, we observed, bore the
name of Hill and Co., London, organ builders to the
Queen, and certainly it is a specimen of art which does
infinite credit to that well known establishment. We
rarely before have heard such beautifully voiced solo stops,
and in the full organ the tone and grandeur of the music
was exquisite. We believe that the specification for this
magnificent instrument was drawn out by Mr. J. W.
Fraser, of Manchester, (a valued friend of Mr. Horsfall's
family), and that it was also constructed under his super-
intendence. Mr. Best presided at the organ, and dis-
played the rich tones of the instrument in a variety of
combinations. We particularly admired the Te Deum
and the Anthem.

The exterior of the churl' peresents a plain, yet chaste and
elegant appearance—the only ornamental portions of the
edifice being some tracing round the window tr
a handsome bold bossed cornice, and some finely
mullions in the windows of the tower

Between the

mination of the buttresses and the commencement of the
pinnacles, there is a series of grotesque figures, which tend
to break and relieve the sameness which, without
ments of some kind, this part of the building would k.
sent. The design of the edifice is from the pencil of Mr.
Shellard, of Manchester, but as that gentleman could not
attend to its erection, the plan was subsequently placed
in the hands of Mr. culshaw, of this town, by whom va-
rious alterations and amendments in the plan were effected.
Altogether, the church reflects great credit on all parties
concerned in its erection. The only suggestion of im-
provement which we might venture upon, is that of the

The consecration service was read by the right rev.
Prelate, assisted by the rev. Chancellor and the Arch-
deacon of Liverpool, after which the right rev. Bishop
ascended the pulpit and preached an eloquent and it
sive sermon from the 2nd Chronicles, ith chapter
and 16th verses. The tenor of his lordship's
was to impress his hearers with the necessity which
existed for congregational devotion, and consequently for
such edifices as the present, wherein the Almighty tiod,
the great and beneficent Creator, might be worshipped in
spirit and in truth by his people. His lordship con

the example of kind and christian zeal, of pious liberality
which has been displayed in the erection of this structure
is such as must strike every christian heart. It is built
in the vicinity of a town which has increased in popula-

ratio that England itself scarcely •presents such an exam-

community. This proves that in this mart of com-

highest office in the magistracy of this town ; and we must
feel satisfied of his having deserved that testimony to
