THE CHURCH SERVICE AT GREAT ILFORD.

To

For some months past the parish of Great Ilford, in Essex, has been the scene of considerable excitement, resulting from a controversy which has been going on between the clergy and the parishioners relative to the mode of performing divine service in St. Mary's and other churches. It appears that the parishioners were successful in obtaining from the clergy a concession, to the extent of the abolition of the weekly offertory; but they also demanded that a credence-table, which was erected at the altar, should be removed, and that alterations in the position of the reading-desks should be made, so as to prevent the clergymen, during certain parts of the service, from turning their backs upon the congregation. Resolutions in support of this demand were prepared by the vestry, and forwarded to the Bishop of London. these resolutions his Lordship, in a letter dated January the 27th, replied, that "With respect to the reading-desk and the credence, I have been informed, as I stated to Mr. Thompson when I saw him at London House, that the introduction of the one and the alteration of the other took place twelve months ago, with the knowledge of the churchwarden, though not with his express permission. As no objection was made at the time, I do not think it necessary now to authorise the removal of the slab, or the restoration of the reading-desk to its original form. With respect to the other parts of the resolutions, I will content myself with expressing my regret that the concession which Mr. Baugh has made to the wishes of the select vestry, in discontinuing the weekly offertory, has not been met by them in a kinder spirit." In consequence of this decision, a meeting of the

restry took place a few days since, when resolutions were unanimously adopted, requesting and authorising the churchwardens to take every legal step in their power for the removal of the credencetable, and for the restoration of the reading-desks to their former position. Thus the matter rests for the present.

FROM "THE RECORD" OF FEB. 19. The Oxford Chronicle states that the Hon. and Rev. Arthur Percival, who, it will be remembered, was one of the original contributors to the "Tracts for the Times," has withdrawn from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, on the ground of the admission of the Bishop of Chester's Tract on Justification by Faith. And the weekly organ of the Tractarian party gives the following notice :-"We are glad to learn that remonstrances, addressed to the Monthly Board of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, on the present state of affairs, are in contemplation in various parts of the country; we recommend the example to be followed, and that extensively and immediately." Lord Stanley spoke out firmly and eloquently on Friday night in support of the "Protestant Established Church." It was a withering speech for his opponents. Lord Howick spoke in favour of Popery, and Mr. D'Israeli was said to be the representative of the Tractarian party and "Young England."

our

bona fide character of these apparent differences. Mr. Newman's own expressions, with reference to his own disclaimer of Popery, still clings to our memory: It was necessary to position.' So of these changes, contentions, disagreements. They may, indeed, be entirely genuine, above-board, and sincere. Or they may be, like Mr. Newman's Anti-Romanism of 1840, necessary to our position.'

"Nor does it matter much whether the follower of Tract 90, or of the Treatise on the Church, be in reality the more consistent man. Essentially, there is

no real difference. Far less mischief is done by a writer like him who gave us No. 90, and who lets you know what he is driving at, than by such a work as the Treatise on the Church; which seduces the reader by a winding path into a belief that Rome is, always has been, and always must be, a true Church of Christ, but that the Dissenters of England, and all the Presbyterians of Scotland, whether established or non-established, can form no part of the Church of Christ.' We warn our friends, therefore, of the probability of some such division as we speak of being publicly made or professed; but we shall regard it as only another reason for exercising watchfulness and circumspection, both with reference to those who take the decided, and to those who take the moderate line, in the future manoeuvrings of this undermining party."

TRACTARIAN DIVISIONS. "The Record" also states, that symptoms are becoming daily more apparent of a separation-in outward appearance, at least-between the more vehement and the more moderate of the Tractarian party. It is reported that Messrs. Rivington have declined the publication of Mr. Newman's 'Lives of the Saints,' and that Mr. Oakley's agent in St. James's-street, whose trade is chiefly in missals and breviaries, is to be the publisher. It is also given out that a fresh series of The British Critic' is on the stocks, of which Mr. Palmer, of Worcester College, is to be the editor. We cannot give any opinion as to the

JESUITS AT OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.

A correspondent of "The John Bull," who signs himself "A Sexagenarian Graduate," makes the following statement:"I have often wondered that the public press has not yet traced to them the origin of the Oxford schism. It is a wellknown fact (a great fact, if you will) that Roman Catholics have been admitted upon the boards at the universities for many years past. At Cambridge they were received at Christ's College some years ago. At Oxford they have since crept in more numerously. Once admitted, they may take any oaths, and subscribe to anything required of them by those whom they designate heretics; but with what intention of keeping their

faith with them, the extracts which you have already adduced too plainly show. The viper has been nursed in the academic bosom; and now is the time that their Romish principles, concealed for a brief period with care, are beginning to show themselves in their recent outbreak. So long as the Jesuits are thus permitted to insinuate themselves within the two Universities, there can be no peace to the Church."

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF KING WIL

LIAM'S COLLEGE, ISLE OF MAN.

It is our painful duty to record the total destruction by fire of this beautiful modern and extensive edifice, on the morning of Sunday, the 14th of January. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is ascertained to have broken out in the western wing, either in the classrooms of the English department, or in the boy's dining-room immediately below. The building was insured in the Sun office for 20007., and the property of the Rev. Mr. Dixon, the principal, for 22007.; but the loss to the building alone cannot be under 4000l. The Rev. Mr. Cumming, vice-principal, was uninsured. The college is a modern erection.

The first

stone was laid by the late LieutenantGovernor Smelt, on the 23d of April, 1830, and it was opened in the summer of 1838. The building is partly in the early English and partly in the Elizabethan style, forming a spacious and cruciform structure, 210 feet in length from east to west, and 135 feet from north to south; from the intersection rises the embattled tower, 115 feet high, strengthened with buttresses, and surmounted by an octagonal turret, intended for an observatory, having in each of its sides an elegant and lofty window, and crowned with a parapet. The edifice cost about 60007., of

which 2000l. was from the accumulated fund from property granted by Bishop Barrow, in 1668, for the education of young men for the ministry in the Manx Church. The whole of this splendid and extensive building has been totally de stroyed, with the exception of the Vice Principal's house. There were about 60 boys sleeping within the college at the time, who were obliged to escape in their nightshirts; but we are happy to say that not a single accident occurred.

Ilminster.-On Friday, the Rev. J. Allen, of Cross-house, with his usual bene. volence, gave his accustomed annual dinner to all the old men and women in the town. The old folks put on their holiday apparel, and bent their way at two o'clock, p.m., towards Cross-house, where on their arrival a good substantial dinner of roast beef, plum pudding, and table beer, was supplied to them. The lady of the rev. gentleman waited upon her guests, and took a lively interest in seeing them comfortable on the occasion; and the cheerful countenances showed their thankfulness as well as the many benedictions that were uttered for the health and long life of the rev. gentleman and his amiable lady.-Exeter Gazette.

On the 5th inst., an election took place for a minister to the parish of St. Benedict, Norwich, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. George King. At the close of the poll at four o'clock, the numbers were-For the Rev. Wm. Goodwin, 27; the Rev. Thomas Clowes, 19; the Rev. Andrew Warnes, 8. Mr. Goodwin was of course elected. Eighteen of the parishioners did not vote.
