Monks and pilgrimage#- (Jhrisiim World for Sep- Ui.it n section of tbe Bnglish Church has not only estabiisheid'h nhn nery connected with a splendid Episco pal Church in the West end of London, nit also a brotherhood of monks at Nor wich. It quotes the following account of a pilgrimago made by these monks, from an English paper: The monks of Norwich recently made a pilgrimage to the celebrated well of St. Walstan, at Bawburgh, whose wa ters are supposed to have wonderful properties. The “brethren” with the whole of their “ regalia” in a cab, left Norwich quietly until the city was left somo distance behind them and then, having robed themselves in gorgeous vestments, an acolyte bearing an im mense brass cross, proceeded, singing hymns, to their destination. Before oacb Village church, prayers were said, and by the time they reached the vil lage of Bawburgh their numbers had increased to about seventy individuals, and the; procession had an imposing ap pearance. Beneath a gorgeous canopy Father Ignatius, who was clothed in a gold and white satin cope, and sur rounded by the “ brethren” of the or der, bearing a groat variety of banners, and followed by three little children, bearing the banner of the Guardian An gel, proceeded to the holy well, where, with candles burning, censers swinging, and- amid fumes of incense, the superior sang aloud, “We praise thee, O God !” the audience falling on their faces to kiss the holy oarth, after which they were all sprinkled with the water, sing ing, “ Sprinkle me, O Lord, and I shall boolean,” etc. The well was then in censed, and a large number of candles lighted, and after a short lecture by the “ Father,” vespers were begun, and the scone was very imposing, and doubtless, entertaining to the rustics. The servi ces concluded, a perfect rush took place for the moss, and evory,scrap was torn from the well. The procession then re turned to Norwich. It is understood to be the intention of the monks to visit all the “ saints’ ” relics in the country. No wonder that these monks are turning Papists, and hoping , and pray ing, and asking the prayers of, all Pa pistß, for the “ conversion” of their late associates. Nor are we surprised to hear that the friend’s bf PrOtestahtteiiv in other parts of the island, are on the alert, as appears not only in religious, but in political movements. Witness the following: , U-l A private meeting was held July SI, in Edinburgh, for the putpose of form ing “ a Protestant Electoral Union for Scotland/' The following vras adopted as the basis of the “Union The ob ject bf the Union shall- he, by all suita ble and legitimate means, to impress upon the constituencies of Scotland the .duty and necessity of returning mem bers to Parliament who shall oppose all legislative measures which tend to raise up the Papal hierarchy again as a legally-endowed and established body —tbO- its real costs of Papal propagandism out of the public purse.” Essays and Beviews; Judgment or Con vocation. How regarded by the Hard Chancellor. —Tlio Convocation of, Canter bury, including the bishopsin the Upper House, and the inferior clergy in the Lower have been long and earnestly considering the Essays and Beviews., Last month they heard the report of Committees previously appointed to ex amine the books, ftnd’,, in spite 01 much opposition, principally from the Bishop.; of London and Dean Stanley, came to a dcoidod conclusion. Wo quote from the Christian Work: * The judgment adopted in both Houses is in the following terms“ That this Synod, hiving.appointed committees of the; Upper; and/Lower Houses to exam-; inc and roport upon the volume entitled < Essays and Kevibwsi’ and the said committees hiving: severally- reported thereon; doth hereby Synodically con demn the said volume, as containing teaching contrary to the doctrine re ceived by the United Church of Eng land and Ireland, in common with the whole Catholio Ghiirbh of Christ.” This decision has sinco been the cause of a moist important debatein tbeHouse of Lords. Tbe Lord Chancellor treated it with the utmost contempt, as worth leea and incompetent ; us->dx-posing-*tbe bishops, if they attempted practically to carry it out, ir< vuso of the presentation of the writers to livings, to tho penalty of ■pre.tnunirc; us ansailoaipt, in fact, if it meant anything, to impugn the head ship of the Queen in matters spiritual, one of the most serious ecolesiastical of fences that could be committed. The Bishop of Oxford expressed his dissent from the. opinions of tlie .Lord Chancel lor, as well os his surprise at the spirit of his lordship's speech which he characterized ah'derogatory to the dignity of jtho housed and fitted only to lower his own high position, and de clared his determination at all hazards ?to raise legitimately,^! l ® AMi Church in th<i v <MM w bT men "who were tampering with their solemn-oaths.

The Regium Donum. —The General Assembly of the Irish Presbyterian Church, which met in Belfast, in July, discussed this subject for a whole day, with closed doors. Says the Christian Work: The proposal was that the gov ernment should raise the Regium Donum from 69Z. to 100/. for each minister at present in receipt of it; that this fixed sum should be removed from the hazard of an annual vote and placed upon. the Consolidated Fund; and that to provide for the endowment of new congrega tions—of which it was estimated there Would be an average of four every year, —each minister should subscribe 10/. annually to an endowment fund. _ Vari ous objections were made to this pro posal, but it was ultimately sanctioned, and the committee re appointed. There has been an increase of nearly six thousand families and over three thousand communicants during the year to this church, though the aggre gate of contributions —nearly £82,000 — has somewhat diminished. The Irish Methodist Conference reports a decrease in members of 957, in expla nation of which the deaths are stated at .419 and emigrations at 811, with.4BB on trial. The most serious decline was in the Portadown District, which has lost 400 members,—a loss attributed to seve ral causes, chiefly the depression of trade and the tide of emigration. It is expect ed by the Conference that £lO,OOO will be raised in Ireland for the Jubilee Fund. The Rationalistic Controversies within the National Church still run high. The name of Pasteur Adolphe Monod having been mentioned in connection with M Coquerel’s (junior) non-election as suffragan to Pasteur Martin ■Paschoud —an extremely interesting document, giving the full account of the exclusion by the rationalists, headed by Pasteur Martin Pashoud, of Jfc Ad, Monod from thd Church of Lyons, in 1831); has been published) it is from his own -pen,, a simple'sober statement of facts, and. in its unvarnished simplicity reveals two things; first, the persecuting spirit of tho rationalistic party, god, secondly, the Christian spirit of love and faithful ness in which it was borne by the young pastor. Several Places of Worship have been opened. That of Lorient at the end of May, Joiftvillo on the sth of June, Hur tigheim at the commencement of the same month. Worship has commenced at Dole, in a hall of tho Town-house. ■At FranoilloD, a pious Protestant, on losing his son, devoted the sum intend ed to prepare tho young man for the ministry, to build a place of worship; it is now opened; although the father was Called away before ii was fioistled, bis heirs carried out his intentions. The Wesleyan' chapel at Le Wigan was also opened in Juno.

Near Lugano there is a village with a population of some five hundred, where the priest has embraced evangelical views, and all his people, almost with out exception, are with him. Pour other priests indifferent parts of this, same Canton ha ve pat off the priestly habit of the Homan Church, and are now preaching the gospel to their peo ple. In Switzerland, though the Bishop : m «jy exoo m miinicate, he .cannot deprive, a priest of his, living, or separata him; from hiß flock, for the governtnent Hus tains him. Hence there are priests-who; become enlightened, continue in their, parishes, and preach in their churches. As an interesting instance of this, in Stabio, a town of 2200 inhabitants, situ ated a littljo South of Lake Lugano, there is a parish priest who has been excommunicated for preaching the gos pel. The Bishop cannot, however, drive him from his flocky he‘therefore re mains, preaches the gospel in his church, •reccivingT fro<P..tbo government about two hundred dollars a year. More than half of his people strongly sympathize with him, and among this ngraberare the most inflneQtiai,.in the place. Two; of his brothers, ono a judge and the other the principal innkeeper of the town, with thoir families, are amoDg the 1 most izealous for the truth. This .priest l visited yesterday, and was de lighted to find him a man of decided ability, with clear and evangeUoaV views, and sincere love for the troth. He is a j bold and independent thinker, and at the same time shows great frankness and simplicity of character. He ap pears a truly converted man. At Ghemme, » town situated at the Southern extremity of Lake Maggiore, where our colporteur- at first met great opposition, the. burning’ two or three of pis Bibles publicly, there ia now a remarkable demand for the Scriptures,-tb« people inaignant at .their priests, and desirous for the truth.'

The master jewellers and watchmakers had already organized and appointed a committee and adopted the following resolutions : “The day of rest is a benefit to the laborer. “ The members of the present meeting bind themselves to respect it, and have it respected by their workmen. “Thecommittee will continue to study all means of promoting the work.” Other trades are turning their atten tion to the subject, which bids fair to command new and much-needed atten tion through the whole community. No new movements of importance iu this field are reported, though the great est encouragementjto labor is felt. The correspondent of tne Christian World at Lugano, already reforred to, writes: Italy is at present in a most favorable state for being Evangelized. , Every-; w-here there is deeply felt the necessity of a thorough religious reform, and everywhereii t/'canSbe said this' religious reform has already commenced, I havo been surprised, injtho tour and the some what extended observations I have recently made, t 4 find to; what degree the Italian mindßs giving up the Papa cy, and, at,the same time, waiting and asking for“a. trjily reformed religion, based upon thq,Bible and the Bible alone.
