ARCHBISHOP WIIATELEY'S VISITATION.—The Arc'
bishop of Dublin has just held his triennial visitation
St. Patrick's Cathedral. His Grace's charge, which occ!"
pies nearly four columns of the Dublin papers, is alraerj
exclusively devoted to the great doctrinal question
" faith" as opposed to " works" in the sense in which ealoi
is taught and understood by the respective churches
England and Rome. There was no allusion whatever 1.!,

ECCLESIASTICAL EXCITEMENT IN EXETER.
greatest excitement has prevailed in this city during tttie
past week in consequence of the incumbent of St. Sidwe
the Rev. J. L. Galton, having cited his churchwarden, Iv"
Palk, into the Ecclesiastical Court for removing a credell
table from the chancel of the church. It appears
this credence table has been recently introduced by
Galton, much against the wish of many of his parishiee!,
ers ; and at the last visitation of the Archdeacon ,
Exeter it was presented, and the Archdeacon told tl!'
churchwarden he might remove it. Mr. Palk according
did so, and was then cited in the Consistory Court.
large number of the inhabitants were present during th
hearing of the case on Friday. The Chancellor said, thev,
was no doubt Mr. Palk had exceeded his duty in removl
the credence table, as he ought to have applied for
faculty for that purpose ; but the incumbent had also e!,
eeeded his duty in placing it in the chancel without_A
faculty. Under these circumstances, he recommend%
that Mr. Palk should admit his error, when he would 11°
order him to restore the table'; and Mr. Galton could tty
the question by applying for a faculty to replace it. 1,4
