quitted the chapel, and the Holy Sacrament was administered to those who were prepared to re ceive it. The two great Dignita ries of the Church, with the rector and chaplain, returned in the same order to the Bishop's house, and afterwards dined with a select par consecrate the new-erected chapel; whereupon his Grace proceeded up the chapel, repeating the 24th Psaim; "The earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is; the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein," the officiating Ministers and people taking the alternate verses. Nothing canty at Lord Frederick Campbell's. ⚫ exceed the effect of this Psalm when used on such an occasion, and particularly the repetition of those sublime verses; "Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in." "Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle." The Archbishop being seated -on one side of the altar, and the rector on the other, the Deed of Endowment, and other legal forms, were read; after which the Prayers of Consecration, and one for God's blessing on the Founder, his family, and substance, were offered up by the Archbishop, in the most devout and impressive manner. The Morning Service was then read by Mr. Dicks, the officiating Chaplain, the first Lesson being taken from the 8th chapter of the 1st Book of Kings, and the Communion Service by the Archbishop. The 84th and 100th Psalms were also sung in the service; after which a very excellent, appropriate, and instructive Sermon was delivered by Dr. Vyse; wherein the grateful mention made of the venerable Founder was in such terms as it becomes the Minister of God to speak the just praise of a fellow-creature in the more immediate presence of his Maker. As soon as the Sermon ended, the greater part of the congregation The Rev. John Oldisworth, of Swansea, is about to publish by subscription a new edition of Nichols on the Common Prayer, and Psalms, with alterations and additional observations from vari• ous authors.

In 1779 he was senior Wrangler with extraordinary reputation; the second Wrangler the same year was Mr. Herbert Marsh, the translator of Michalis, and now lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity. The distinction with which Mr. Jones had appeared in the Senate-House examination, rendered his progress to a Fellowship easy and certain. Soon after his election, Mr. Crank, the Tutor of the College, appointed him Obituary. Mathematical Lecturer; in which public important situation he enjoyed all the opportunities that he desired of extending his reputation. The Lecturer of a great College, such as Trinity, is surrounded by a numerous attendance of pupils, some of whom, in general, are of distinguished abili. ties, and therefore the Lectu rer feels his exertions called forth by the powerful motives which such circumstances afford. The lectures of Mr. Jones were not dry repetitions of what mere reading could supply: he considered his subjects in their first principles and their detail, in which view also he presented them to his auditors.
