its ceremonies.  A small memorial place of worship, which will operate as a “chapel of ease” for Christ Church, has been built in Bird-street.  Belonging to Christ Church there are some good day and Sunday schools.  They are numerously attended, and well supervised.  Adults have a room to themselves on a Sunday, and they go through the processes of instruction patiently, benignly, and without thrashing.  At one time there was a school connected with the church in Wellfield-road; but when St. Mark’s was erected the building and the scholars were transferred to its care.  Viewing everything right round, it may be said that Christ Church is a good substantial building, but is rather too plain and weighs too much for its size; that its minister is a mildly-toned, well-educated, devout gentleman, with no cant in him, with a tender bias to the side of gentility, and born to be luckier than three-fourths of the sons of Wesleyan parsons; that its congregation is influential, rose-coloured, good-looking, numerous, thinks that everybody is not composed exactly of the same materials, believes that familiarity is a flower which must be cautiously cultivated; that its religious and educational operations are extensive; and that if all who are influenced by them would only carry out what they are taught—­none of us do this over well—­they would be models from which plaster casts might be taken either for artistic purposes or the edification of heathens generally.

WESLEY AND MOOR PARK METHODIST CHAPELS.

These two places of worship must constitute one dose.  They are in the same circuit, are looked after by the same ministers, and if we gave a separate description of each we should only be guilty of that unpleasant “iteration” which Shakspere names so forcibly in one of his plays.  Wesley Chapel is the older of the two, and, therefore, must be first mentioned.  It is situated in North-road, at the corner of Upper Walker-street, and we dare say that those who christened it thought they were doing a very hand-some thing—­charming the building with a name, and graciously currying favour with the Wesley family.  People have a particular liking for whoever or whatever may be called after them, and good old John may sometimes look down approvingly upon the place and tell Charles that he likes it.  The chapel, which was built in 1838, enjoys the usual society of all pious buildings:  it has two public houses and a beershop within thirty yards of its entrance, and they often seem to be doing a brisker business than it can drive, except during portions of the Sunday when they are shut up, and, consequently, have not a fair chance of competing with it.  The chapel is square in form, has more brick than stone in its composition, and has a pretty respectable front, approached by steps, and duly guarded by iron railings.  Neither inside nor outside the building is there anything architecturally fine.  A decent mediocrity generally pervades it.  The
