An Interesting Incident at the Holy Sepulchre.
The Duke of Norfolk has written from the Holy Land to inform her Majesty of an interesting and unique incident in connection with the visit of the English pilgrims to Palestino, who have now left Jerusalem and are returning home. On St. George’s Pay, for the first time since the age of the Crusades, Pontifical High Mass was sung at the silver altar in front of the Holy Sepulchre by an English prelate, the Hon. and Right Rev. William Clifford, Bishop of Clifton, and his lordship also preached, after which the anthem “Domino Salvam fac Reginem Nostram ’ —in other words, ‘ God Save the Queen ’ —was sung by the pilgrims. This was the first instance that the Queen or any other British Sovereign had been publicly prayed for in that place, probably, since the time of Richard Cceur de Lion, and certainly the first since the Reformation.
