On the evening when the frlenda and admirers of that aistinguisned evangelist, Henry Varley, met In the vnuren of the Diserpies to listen to ns closing words of instruction and exhortation, the pastor, Dr. Hepworth, m the course of bis re- marks, stated:—“Though our good brother goes from among ns the meetings inangurated by him will be continued m this churen and in the Church of the Holy Triuity, corner oj Madison avenue and Forty-second street, and tn the latter piace Miss Logan and Miss Beard, of Lendon, will conduct the services, at certain hours, Which were an- nounced during each day of the week.

Rome, March 31, 1875. ‘This aiternoon, at balf-past three o'clock, (ook place the ceremonies connected with Cardinal Manning’s taking possession of the titular throne of St. Gregory im the church dedicated to the memory of that saint in Rome, At least 1,000 per- sons, mostly English aud Americans, Catnoltes and Protestants, among the latter a great of England, witnessed the interesting solemnities. {i seemed, indeea, as if the entire colony o1 Eng- nish residents must have been gathered within the sacred edifice, Among the titled persons were Archbishop Howard, Lady Londonderry, Sir Vineent and Lady Eyre, Count Kearney, Lord Beaumont, Marquis Stackpovle; besides a host of other prominent persons and the members of the Enghsb, Irish, Scotch and American colleges in Rome, THE CHURCH OF SAN GREGORIO. To Englishmen the fact of Carninal Manning taking possession of the titular throne of the Church of St. Gregory has a peculiar significance, ‘The chureh ts intimately connected with English Christianity, 1 was founded here on the Catan Hull, on the way to the Appian Way, as eariy as the seventh century, on the site of the jamily mansion of St. Gregory the Great; and from it went forth St. Augustine, the great English missionary, to couvert the inhabitants oF Kugiand to Christianity. There, on the large st¢ps before the cnurch, stood St, Gregery, to wive to Si, Augustine and his com- panions nis blessing betore they starred on their long journey. The Christianity of the Angio- Saxon race, therefore, went Jorth from this ancient and unpretentious Little edifice—a tact very advantageously alluded to by the Cardinal io bis sermon, I need not give you any descriptions of the arb treasures of the church, of the Gaicos and the Domen- ichinos.

The Cardinal was met at the entrance by the monks Of the convent, and conducted to the vestry, where he was robed, being accompanied by Mgr. Cataidi as master of ceremonies. A pro- cession was then formed, headed by across. It proceeded down the nave to the great dour, where the Cardinal was incensed, The monks then paid obeisance, and tae procession was re-iormed, The Cardunal frat proceeded vo the Chapei of the Holy Sacrament, where he knelt fora while in prayer. He then proceeded to the bigh aitar, the monks chanting in Gregorian tones tho ‘Ecce Sacerdos” and the “antiphon of St An- drew and of St. Gregory. The Oardinal then took a seat upon che (hrone under the daiWdachino, wheo Mgr. Cataidi read (he mandate jor tue re- ception of the utle, This document was in Latin, It recited that the title was vacated by the death of Quagita, the last Cardimal who possessed the tiuiar honors of the Church, After this the monks were severaliy led up to the Oardinal, some embracing lim, others kissiag the ring, and the lay broteers kissang the hem of garment.

Never in this world—never, till the iage day, when the gool Shepherd shall count the sheep of Bis flock, And God grant that on that day not one of us be found wanting in that haven of peace,” Soended vhe sermon. The Cardinal theo ap. proached and kneit down before the blessed sacrament; benediction was pronounced, and ne proceeded to the sacristy, Where @ seat had. been prepared for him, and the Catholic visitors to the charon were severally and por sonally introduced to him, kissmg the ring, As may naturally be supposed, the Cardinal was deeply moved at times during the ceremonies, aud moro than once the tears rolied down mis cheeks, proving the joy aad eme- ton that he experienced, He was clad in fall car. dinai’s robes, and on bis head was the scariest berretta.
