SOW LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 31. • *T the present moment the sod important &mese el the empire, the diocese of London , is su ff ering seder an epi scopal eclipse. If ever there was a Bishop whose irritable and incessant activity pervaded every portion of hie spiritual dominions, it was cer tainly Cesium JaN35 of Ixor4Do3. It is a matter, no doubt, of great regret that this estimable prelate is disabled by incapacitating infirmity ; but if there be any truth in Episcopal theory, it is a matter of some• thing more than regret. A great diocese is practically anbishoped. The metropolis and its border districts are in a state of prelatical destitution. It is a ease of urgency—a ease of extreme spiritual need. It is the case of a passenger ship without a surgeon—a court without a judge—a sure of mule without an incumbent. Moved by this alarming state of things, Lord BLANDFORD asked Lord PALUZLITOIt, Kt long ago aa Friday week, whether there was any intention, in any quarter, that anything should be done. Could Buffragu Bishops be appointed—meld that long dor mant datute the 26th HENRY VIII. be roused up from its sleep of three centuries P The answer et the oracle was Delphic in its solemn ambiguity. "The matter was one of great difileulty. The sebjest (a subject which ever since Euratom's days bas hew on and off in comes of dimension) was under thedeli beration of her MAJUTT'S Ministers." This 'adieus " deliberation • of Ministers is playing the game of a subtle adversary. It is curious to remark how the demand for more Bishops, originally raised by the High Churchmen, is urgently pressed by them when ever a Ministry of their own inclining is in office, and hushed as soon as a decidedly Liberal Minister I. in power. Hence they have kept quiet on the Epiecepets question in the hope that Lord PAINED,- area's Ministry would be speedily turned eat. They do not want young sad hale Bishops, is Ise of old and infirm, unless the new are to be d their own party. And they are powerfel fin obstruction through the organisation d the Us. don Church Union, in the councils of Alb Idled Bishop of OMIORD reigns paramessat The Blab" Oi OXFORD is anxious to throw sew iNvellibeset he can in the way of placing episcopal appilants at reedit in the hands of the Crowe. Bedies • by pre. venting lay legislation during the present session, he expects to repeat his anneal faros of submitting the question to Convocation before it is discussed in Par liament. "The woman who deliberates is heti" and the liberal Pautaa who merely "deliberates •on the present condition of the Bpimoopate, places the interests oldie Church at the wary of the Bishop of Ozroan. Fortunately for those interests the (meths of Lord &Amman ham met with a more satis factory answer from another quarter, in the shape of a very edmirable pamphlet from that vigorous and valuable church dignitary the Dean of Bturrou Dr. Buior, in thissmaterly performaace, este out by girls, a few short bet sionolueive roma. he thinking that the revival of the set of HURT Via, and the appoints's' of Bergen Bishops se that Let directs, would provide no effectual remedy for the meths Kendal He then moor& to rem oiler the recommended°n of the Chancery Cora- inbelosern in their final report of 1846, that a panel statute aboald be "framed enabling the Crown to nominate a coadjutor, with a right of samemice, wheasver a Bishop repaired such aid by mama of advanced age and protracted infirmity, and should be reedy to ~reader o portion of his episcopal imams le femur of such coadjutor." To this waggestion Dr. ELLIOT objects, and es we think unanswerably, that when a owe of proved prelatical incapacity mime, it is to the last degree mnremonable that the powers of the law and the Interests of the Church "should wait ca the winless's. of a Bishop 'to surrender a portion of hie episcopal revenue.' The law should be so framed 'as to compel a reluc tant Bishop to do so.' " Again, why should the only cane contemplated be that of a voluntary pea ties em the part of the Bishop for the 'asides(' of a coadjutor P Finally, why a coadjutor at all P What madams is the coadjutor to receive from the Ambled Bishop? " Why is the younger sad more active man s with unimpaired powen of Riad. with all the advantages of personal knowledge et the clergy and poop* to be deprived in any degree of the authority and of the resources towards 'maintaining order and elleisaey urns the clergy:of the diocese with which the law, to that end, has so munificently endowed the Bpiecopate P" This reasoning mesa to es What, then, is the true remedy P A very simple one. Let the Bishop, when incapacitated from up sad ininsity, have the eau power of retiring cm s Mb passion, which the Judge has in a similar am The largo and rapidly iocrung fluids in the Mods of the Church Estates COOliiilliOSON would supply without any difficulty the memo of prangingh pensions as might be required. It in we might bops, set too much to upon ben the Bishops of on, Church that they would, generally speaking, show no urossonabls reluctases to avail themselves of the mans dna offered of escaping, in cases of proved lability, from the prawn of duties which asset, if they have any Importance at all, be left undischarged without serious responsibility. But Bishops are, after all, bet men 1 sad annatimon it is to be feared, not very wise ones. We mat act omit to provide for such case as that of the Bishop of BANGOIL There is, indeed, se Dr. ELLIOT naiads us, a statute actual in existence, the 4 mg 7 Vie., c. 62, (ranted to meet the use of a Wasp incapacitated "by mental infirmity or lunacy." Are the friends of my Lord of Buena aware of this MAP as is the ream of their nou.isterforesa the falai that a life protracted beyond ths verge of fourscore should enjoy among other immuoities that of sarostranced ',temperance is speech sndconduct P If so, we think they are wrong. There are limits to the respect paid to age, and thee. limit. are passed when age has erased to respect itself. A Prelate whose talk is of " rods and foolscap*" has, we nay charitably hope, so far lapsed into second childhood as tribe brought without violater seder the operation of a statute which, to save the Church from sandal, would remove from the exorcise of his sacred fuestioas any Bishop labouring under the distressing taint of " mental iolineity." Bat there are other ease to provide for besides those of msutal Is fleshy. Love of power, tenacity of Gifu Inability to pensive the growing infirmities of age— all t h ese might operate to prevent a Bishop hem availing himself, is due tau of the bassvolest pro. vision of a retiring pansies. Provision must be aide kw lush emedsgeseise se these. The Data of Brunei proposes to seat thus thus :—" Let a rural statute be famed, midis' the Crown to TSB EXPRESS, SATURDAY WINNING, MAY 91, 1856.

"I believe," says the Dean, " that thus only can the just demands and interests of the Crown and Church be duly, honestly, and effectively mot." In this belief we entirely concur ; and we observe with much pleasure that four Prelates so respectable as the Bishops 01 DURHAM, GLOUCESTER, LICHFIELD, and RIPON. have, in their evidence before the Cathe dral Commissioners, given an unqualified adhesion to a principle, the practical and speedy adoption of which we cannot help regarding as absolutely indispensable to the interests, the efficiency, and the dignity of the English Cnnrch. " Thu CHILD IS Fen= or Tin MAN."—This dieguM of Wordsworth wu never more aptly illus trated than by the following anecdote of 'Henry Brougham, the 'shoal-bey, which we find in a deli cious volume of the reminiscences of the late Lord Cuckburn, jolt published by Adam and Charles Black, with the title " Memorials of his Time, by Henry Cockburn." "Brougham made his;first explo- sion while in Fraser's class (at the High School of Edinburgh). He dared to differ from Fraser, a hot but good-natured old fellow, on some small bit of Latinity. The muter, like other men in power, maintained his own infallibility, punished the rebel, and flattered himself that the affair was over. But Brougham reappeared next day, loaded with books, I returned to the charge before the whole close, and compelled honest Luke to confess that he had been wroog. This made Brougham famous throughout the whole school I remember, as well uif it had been yesterday, having had him pointed out to me as ' the fellow who bad beat the wester.' It waa then that I ant saw him." EXCH6 Q VER BILLS. (Freon the Lomita. Giss r ette of Friday, Nay 311.) Office of her Majesty's Periaaater-(leaaral, Whitehall, May 30.

We have Owned with regret that frequent attempts have be lately made by the most influential organ of the daily press to disparage the ability of; firdish scalptore, and to defend aa an inevitable necessity a :ethane to foreign either. It is, moreover, reported that a large sum of mosey is about to be devoted to a monument to the Duke of Wei limiters, and nether nut to a memorial at &uteri to the bran sea who have fallen in the late war; and, is the pre sent temper of the public mind, end in the dispo Woe of some who minim the patronage of the enemy, we are not without spprehnsion that due justice will fail to be done to the English sculptor. We desire to guard ourselves against the Imputation of an illiberal jeaioney of the torah:en. Art is a nal l lan guage, and the artist should find himself a native of every great city of the world. There has never bees a time when the Eng fah courts and the Eighth people have not received with ready oedemas the feweige painter, architect, sod sculptor. May it be thus sleep. Bet we claim for naive talent that it also should be sought for and appre ciated. It is not true that there is a dearth of genius amongst the sculptors of England. There an works of in disputable excellence from the hands of livieg artists that attest the contrary. What is lamentably true is this—that stems have rarely been adored for committing public works to the men of the greatest merit amospt ea. We would humbly nggest that if the patronage of the natioa were exercised with wore care and discrimisatien, and with • genuine desire to discover the worthiest on whom to be stow it, the public menumects of Eon's:id would no 1 tore be appealed to as displaying in so many instnees a pastel mediocrity. None can feel more deeply than ourselves the degrada tion which the se en of Beglaud has suffered during the last 60 years, from the erection in our Men p liisn Cathe dral, the Abbey, and Guildhall, of the buge ',anilines and detressieg &Licorice which deface toe walls of these beliti flies. Bet let it be borne is mind, that whale largo sums sere being lavished upon each pmdeetioes as those, Flu. man and Banks were alive, needy and seeking employment. Men who were neglected year after year by the government sad the municipal authorities of that time are now the bent of ev ry Bahamas, and are seknowledged to have earned aaltereyean mistake. To approach somewhat nearer to our own timesore would point to a fact of no little significanoe. A sculptor of the name of Watson recently died; Oa was an industrious "via, and a citopetitor for most of the public monuments meted in his day. He hulloed a commission ; but the r•jaeled models which he sob hited on such occes'ons, are now sought for with avidity, and studied by living artists. --- Whether the same anfertuoate method of selection atUl attends spit us, we must leave others to decide. We must observe, bowers', that there is an iscreatiog indisposition snriegst artists of ackn.wleiltred merit, to eater into any publio competition. It is felt that e proposal for a general competition is ao security egoista an itseampttent or partial judge. To castbat this indisposition, to foster the genius of the country, to secure fir oar greatest monuments the artists of the greatest power, we sushi floally submit, 1. That in es. ry competition, • public eshibition of the models of ell competitors should precede the selection orally toss of them • aad, 2 That such selection should be made by a committe e se cousittuted that the body of artists as well al th e public la general may csafide la them. - - To a public empatitioe so eondusted ws cheerfully invite every art it resident in the United Kingdom, sad we rest elotldest thee., patronage being liberally and wisely ease /Md, then will no longer be as imprimis' abroad, in this country, that the 'Weak sculptor is moquel to the cele bration of English heroism.

Perhaps the following is the moot salient passage : The conquest of Kars compelled Europe to reflect. The cabinets understood that with such troops—with a will to firm and resolute—the Rumian general, disposing as Ano ints muter of all the resources of Asia Emu, could in one single campaign conquer the rest of the country, and in the followiog summer show himself under the wall' of Constan tinople.

In the Greek Chamber of Deputies oa the sth of May there was • very interesting discussion on the convention between the kingdom of Ore ce and the Porte for the supprersion of brigand,. If we may rely upon the statement made by the Greek Minister for Foreign Affairs, the energy of the government, the zeal of its officials, and the courage of its troops, have actually reduced the evil of brigandage so fa as they have authority to'act within the Greek territory itself, and would have abolished it altogether but for the obstacles which a different sovereignty places in the way of their pursuit of the brigands across the frontier. This difficulty, which the Minister isoeti early compared to that wnich the Greek hero in the fable experienced when he found the monster with whom he was wrestling renewing hie per nicious strength every time he approached his native soil, is to be removed by the convention lately agreed to with Turkey. The engagements are reciprocal, and for this common object. The soldiers of either state may advance beyond the frontier, in pursuit of persons, whether foreigners or natives, who have committed crime in the state to which the soldiers belong; but they are prohibited frnm entering any inhabited place, and they most not oome near the poets occupied by the military of the state into which they have penetrated. With these restrictions, no definite limit, u to dis tance from the frontier, is assigned for their right to traverse the territories of the state neighbouring their own. Each of the contracting parties engages to expel, not only criminals, but deserters from the army of its neighbour, though it does not engage to deliver them up to their own sovereign. Greeks may be tried and punished, when appre- hended in Greece, for crimes committed by them in Turkey ; but this, as explained by the minister, is no innovation, the principle having been recognised in the former commercial treaty. One or two of the deputies expressed their apprehen sions of confusion and cor filet ari.iog from the mixture of Greek and Turkish troopectend Greek and Turkish thieves on the border, and pa triotically disapproved the article relative to the expulsion, which they regarded as equivalent to the extradition of deserters; but the prevailing sentiment of the Chamber was that of congratulating the government upon having adopted a measure so de cidedly in the interests of civilisation and good order, and having thereby given practical effect, at this early period, to the declaration of the great powers in the treaty of peace, by which the Ottoman empire is,recognised as a member of the European family of nations. The projet de loi, to incorporate the treaty, was pawed by 88 votes against 2. AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE.

The election of a representative in parliament for Liet field, in the reom of Lord Wsterpark, resigned, took place in the Guildhall of that city yesterday. The proceed. Inge excited very little interest, although on Monday it was confidently ref orted that an oppoeition candidate tc.eld be proposed on the day of nomination, and this report gm c inflicted by subsequent credit:wane, s. Mr. Cardeo, a member of the Oatord Circuit accompanied by Mr. Keaealy, the barrister, arrived in the coarse of the evening, hat et,' consulting the besets of the cinsereative party, Mr. C. found that he bed no chorea of success, and he declined offering himself as a candidate. The hon. caadi late was in court during the ni.minstion, but ha t o.k no part in the proceedings. The Rev. T. B. FLOUR (the anal formalities having been gone through) proposed the Ron. Fraud, Dudle Stuart Ryder, commonly called Lord Bandon , as a fit and proper person to repr. sent the city of Licl.field in puha mint. The noble viscount's views, as stated in his address, were in accordance with his own, end he doubted nut that he would justify the choice of the electors. Mr. HIWITT seconded the commit:on ; and, no othee candidate being pvpreed, Lord Bandon was declared duly sleeted.

Young, Son, and Msgnay, of Litarbouse Dockyard, sod the ship. weights in their employ, has led to a eviler, which, welter, will cause more distress, and certainly more unpleassat feeling, than the matter in dispute seems to be worth. The occasion of the quarrel, as we understand from the primed addresses en either side, was a resolotion which Mean. Young, Bon, and Magnay t. ad taken to alter the hour. of duly labour in the r ettabli.hrnent. cy and nut prcf ose to lengthen the tiny 'e no It, but, on the contr.ry, to abridge ft by ten minute.. The ciotom hipi been with them, uit is with the other shirwrigiite of Lond-n, to work on the whole nine hmrs and firiy minutes in the day; the altera tion announced by ties urea would have u.aue the working time nine hours and a half. But they hue found ccnsider able Luis and inconvenience is the elist.ng system, of allow ing tour different intervals for rest arid refreshment — namely, half an h or at e IVA o'clock for breakfast; twenty minutes more at eleven ck, an hoar at one o'clock for dinner, and half an hour at tour o'clock for tea; the work beginning at sin in the morning, and ending st six in the evening. 'I hey said, in their address to the werkoren, dated the 30th of April :—" We have long beet sensible of the great evil. resulting him ;the 'unnecessarily frequent interruptions of work, under the existing division of the blare of labour. While it it a source of continual dissatisfaction and complaint on the f art of shipowners, it is certain that the greatest real injury falls on the work men themselves, most of whom ate employed by the job, and any waste of time is consequently a deduction from the amount of t se , r walrus. That Iraqis does not result from tco many hours being devoted to trot and refreshment, but from the t o frequent cessation from work, whin► c indirectly hut inevitably a melons loss of time, without neaten ng any benefit whatever on the workman. Toe 'yeti m doss not prevail in any port in Grist Britain except that of London and even there it is enclusively confined to tt e private crocks arus on the river Thames, and cannot therefore be allegeo to be neceerary foe health er comfort." The charge proAsed by Messrs. Young and Magney, then, was to give two leisure intervals of one hour each, namely, breakt..,t at nine sad dinner at one, and as they abolished the tea-time altogether, they made the day's stork is terminate at hell-past five, instead of sir, in enamel ; and in winter , the men would leave work at dark, maker gap for it by restricting the break fast end dinner time to Mille quarters of en tour each. In retommeding this Van, they further observed: "Thu intension of breakfast time to ore hour win enable very many who reside at a dietsnce from the premises to enjoy that meal at their homes inateam of being compelled to meant to the publx•house. They will also, we dcebt not, duly estimate the great sdvanta.re of leaving work at ass earlier hour, by which opportunities for improvement, comfort, and recreation will be puetly extended. And on the whose we hint their good arose will prove to them that the change we due announce, while primotiog that order and regutarity •hicb inirloyers and employed in every establishment ought equally to desire, is calculated in ea especial manner to advance the interests ' physical and moral, of the workiog clime', whose social improve• meet we axe tut anzioody desirous to promote." • • It appears that the i. tended alteration was unfavourably received by the workmen, and M. am.
