Lord Derby announced on Tuesday his intention of appointing -a

Royal Commission to inquire into the condition of the Rubric. They are apparently to inquire into the disputed points about vestments, and the time for publishing banns, and the rest of the -trivialities about which country clergymen are inclined to make such a fuss. They are not to inquire into any question of doctrine, or Church government, or anything else of importance, and the Commission, therefore, will mainly consist of Bishops.
