THE COURT.

We are sorry to see inferences unfavourable as to the
health of the Prince of Wales drawn from the protracted
stay of his Royal Highness at Brighton. We are asured,
however, on the best authority, that not the slightest
foundation ever existed for any such apprehensions, the
young prince having constantly enjoyed excellent health.
—Observer.

THE YOUNG PRINCESS.—The Princess Royal is be-
coming quite a favorite vith the inhabitants of Windsor
and its neighbourhood. When taking her airings she in-
variably acknowledges every mark of respect paid to her
by graciously bowing her head and kissing her little hand
to each individual.

Queen Victoria's example is setting crowned heads in
motion. Their Majesties of Portugal, accompanied by
the youthful princess, are about to make a royal progress
through the entire province of Alemtejo.
His Excellency the Duke of Palmella has left Mivart's
Hotel, for Paris. His Excellency's absence in France is
not likely to exceed three weeks.
The marriage of Lady Evelyn Leveson Gower, second
daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and
Lord Blantyre, was solemnised at Trentham, on Wed-
nesday last.

THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER.—This nobleman
has returned from the Isle of Wight to Moor Park. Vk e
are happy to hear that he enjoys much better health than
for some years past. Ile is expected at Eaton Hall in
the course of next month. '

mittee of the Down and Connor and Dromore Church
Education Society.—Belfa.vt Chronicle.

NEW CHURCHES.—There are now eleven new churches
in course of erection in the Diocese of Gloucester and
Bristol.

REV. MR. SIBTHORP.—This Rev. Gentleman is now
regularly attending his parish church of St. Helen's, in
the Isle of Wight, and we question much whether he will
ever act again as a Popish priest. His present position in
that apostate community is best explained by his own
words, which are to this effect, I am not suspended, but I
am offended.

WAR AGAINST PEWS.—In Westminster Abbey the
choir is to be altered, the present miserable screen work
is to be removed, and pews abolished. In the cathedral
at Canterbury the choir is about to be furnished with new
stalls and a throne, and the pews are to be removed. The
new church in the Broadway, Westminster, has been built
without pews.

NEW CHURCHES.—On Monday, the new church at
Thurgoland, near Wortley, was consccrated by the Bishop
of Ripon ; and on Tuesday the same rite was also per-
formed at the new church at Denby. After the consecra-
tion of the new church at Thurgoland, on Monday last,
the first stone of a new church was laid at Dodworth, near
Barnsley.

THE LATE ORDINATION.—We are happy to state that
the disagreeable circumstances which had arisen to im-
pede the ordination of the candidates for deacon's orders,
on last Sunday, have no longer prevented their entrance
on the sacred office, the lord bishop having seen fit, at
length, to admit them. This event took place at Holly-
wood, yesterday, when the five gentlemen alluded to were
released from the embarrassing situation in which they
had been placed, and are now ministers of the Established
Church.—Belfast Chronicle.

MUNIFICENT DONATION.—It is announced that Sir
Robert Peel has, within these few weeks, forwarded a
checquelpr £4,000 to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners,
with th. Mew of raising a fund to meet the demand for
the building of churches, which will ensue from the act
that was passed in the last session. This truly seasonable
gift was accompanied by a letter scarcely less gratifying,
in which he spoke of it as a debt due from him in consi-
deration of the large fortune he had derived from trade.
It will be remembered that Sir Robert Peel's was the first
£l,OOO given to the Special Fund of the National Society ;
and coupling the two donations together, and the circum-
stances of the donor, the value of the offering may be
very highly estimated.

SE LENDID PRESENTS.-At Llandaff, on Tuesday last,
the presentation of a testimonial of esteem to the Rev.
W. B. Knight, Chancellor of the Diocese, took place.
The present has been subscribed for by the clergy and
laity of the diocese of Llandaff, and consists of a massive
and superb candelabrum (convertible into an epergne),
with a flower-basket for the same, containing about 200
ounces of silver; a handsome soup-tureen, containing
130 ounces of silver, with the Chancellor's crest, a falcon
and spur, beautifully executed, standing upon the lid ; a
magnificent salver, 22 inches in diameter, weighing 130
ounces, with the coat of arms elegantly engraved upon it,
and also an inscription, from the pen of the Bishop of
Llandaff. There was also a splendid tea-service, com-
prising a tea-kettle, lamp and stand, tea-pot, coffee-pot,
and the minor materials of a rich and elegant tea-service,
containing above 236 ounces. In addition to these mag-
nificent memorials, there was a gold chronometer, by
Arnold, with chains, seal, &c., of exquisite workmanship,
and of the value of £lOO.

CHURCH MEETING IN BELFAST.—On Tuesday last,
in pursuance of the requisition of the churchwardens, a
meeting of the lay members of the established church was
held in Belfast, for the purpose of having submitted to
them a communication from the Lord Bishop of Down
and Connor and Dromore, in reference to the adoption
in the diocese of the prayer for the church militant. The
Belfast Chronicle deVribes the meeting as most nume-
rous and influential, and as one of the most important
assemblies ever convened on an ecclesiastital subject.
After the bishop s letter had been read, the following re-
solutions were agreed to :—" That having heard the
`pastoral letter to the laity' of our diocesan read, we
respectfully receive it as an appeal to the laity, and a re-
cognition of their right to express their opinions on mat-
ters connected with the church of which they form an in-
tegral portion. That we fully approve of the manner in
which the public services of the church have hitherto
been performed in this parish, every thing being done
' decently and in order,' and declare our decided objec-
tion under present circumstances to any departure from
long-established usages. That we are convinced the true
interests of the church would be more promoted by re-
moving all obstacles in the great works of church exten-
sion and church education, than by involving us in the
commotion raised about obsolete ritual observances, the
introduction of which has elsewhere produced angry and
profitless collision to the weakening of the church, and
the great injury of true religion. That while we are firmly
attached to the doctrine and discipline of the church of
which we are members, we gladly embrace the present
opportunity of declaring our anxious desire not only to
live on terms of Christian fellowship with our brother
Protestants of other denominations, but to co-operate
with them in every measure calculated to advance the
principles of our common faith." The following is a
copy of the lord bishop's letter to the churchwardens :
" I take the liberty of sending you two copies of a pastoral
letter, which I have recently addressed to the lay mem-
bers of the united church of England and Ireland in this
diocese. I shall esteem it a favour if you will take such
steps as you may judge most serviceable for making the
pastoral letter known amongst your brother parishioners."
PROCEEDINGS IN ILFORD CHURCH.—During the last
two or three weeks considerable sensation has been cre-
ated amongst the parishioners of Great Ilford and Bark-
ing-side, in consequence of the introduction into the
various churches of certain novelties in the performance
of divine service. Some of the influential gentry of the
surrounding locality have left the church in the midst of
divine service, and it will be seen by the following requi-
sition that further steps are about to be taken in the mat-
ter :—" We, the undersigned inhabitants of Great Ilford,
having had our feelings outraged at the introduction of
Tractarian forms into our church, and stilt more so at the
papistical doctrines preached there, as also by the curate
making the sign of the cross upon himself on approaching
the communion table, which acts are sanctioned by the
vicar, request that you will call a general meeting of the
parishioners, to take such measures as may be thought
best under these most painful circumstances." This re-
quisition is signed by 32 of the respectable inhabitants of
Ilford ; and in order that the grounds for such a proceed-
ing may be fully understood, it may be proper to lay be-
fore the public the following particulars, obtained from
personal inquiries and documents placed at the disposal
of the reporter on the spot. It appears that no notice was
taken by the parishioners of the change from the black to
the white surplice whilst preaching, in accordance with
the recent charge of the Bishop of London, nor was there
anything in the mode of performing divine service devia-
ting from the usual custom, excepting the introduction
of the offertory, and plates being passed from pew to
pew during the communion service, which created much
distaste amongst the congregation of St. Mary's Church.
This distaste grew stronger on perceiving that the plates,
three in number, were, after going round the church,
taken, with their contents, to the vicar, still before the
communion-table, who knelt over them and blessed them
separately, and then placed them on the altar. Since this
occurrence the Rev. F. Baugh, the vicar, has introduced
the Reverend Mr. Bedford, of Oxford, who has recently
returned from Belgium as his curate, and this reverend
gentleman, whilst reading the litany and creed, turned
his back entirely upon the congregation, with his face
towards the communion table, on approaching which it
was observed by many persons in the gallery that he
bowed and crossed himself.

'essfully competed for. Hay crops

were generably good ; wheat, oats, and barley a full aver-
age crop, and the lengt) cf the straw more than usual.
Whether the yield (says the report) will be equal to that
of last year is, at present, uncertain. The potatoes corn-
mnnced well, and though there are some complaints of
rot, the crops in these districts are free from it, and pro-
mise well. Grass has been plentiful, and pasture and
meadow land look better than usual at this time of the
year. The report concludes ;—We have had another
season favourable for the reaping and gathering of the
corn, and it is a subject of thankfulness to us, and must
be to every member of this society, that we have in store
the blessed provision for another year of good bread."
It appears, by an abstract of the accounts, that the ba-
lance due to the treasurer is £lO6 17s. Id. ; and it is some-
what remarkable that the receipts for the admission of the
public to the show-yard last year was within Id. of the
same amount—namely, £lO6 17s. !

The CHAIRMAN, before distributing the prizes, pro.
posed the health of Sir R. Brooke, and the agriculturists
of Cheshire; to which the worthy baronet replied in a
neat and feeling manner.
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to deliver the following
