The consecration of Dr. Temple to the See of Exeter,
and of Lord Arthur Hervey to the See of Bath and (Yells, will take place on December 21 (the Feast of St. Thomas), under a Com- mission from the Archbishop of Canterbury, issued (according to custom, when the Primate is unable to be present) to four Bishops of the southern province—London, St. David's, Ely, and Wor- cester. Dr. Temple will be presented by the Bishop of St. David's, and his own diocesan, the Bishop of Worcester ; Lord Arthur Hervey by the Bishop of St. David's, and his own dio- cesan, the Bishop of Ely. The Bishop of London will preside in the place of the Archbishop. The consecration had been fixed by the Archbishop for the chapel in Lambeth Palace ; but his Grace's recovery not having been sufficiently rapid to allow of his being present, the Archbishop has requested that it should take place in Westminster Abbey. The service will commence at 11 a.m. ; the doors will be open at 10.30 a.m.
