TO THE EDITOR OY Tilt DAILY NEW& SI it, -I come now to the theory, by means of which Anglicans, that is, the upholders of the w eaned church principles within the church of Eng land, justify the Retiirmation. It is one which has been inculcated with extraordinary diligence up and down the land of late years. It is the favourite theory of our younger clergy. It is the great delu sion whereby they persuade themselves that they may claim to be catholics and true brethren of the church of Itome,and yet enjoy all the independence and isolation and substantial advantages of the Eng lish establishment. I need nut say more to show the vast importance:of testing the solidity of this theory: fur if it were once recognised to be absurd and un tenable, the ineompatibility of church principles with the historical and theoretical constitution of the Church of England would soon become transparent, and the great source of the treason which betrays members of that church into defection to Rome be dried up. Mr. Bright has truly remarked at Man chester that the Church of England alone furnishes cornetts to popery; and the fact is only what might be natunilly looked for. Within that church alone is the protestantism of the Reformation demo lished, not by herself, but by the autho ritatice teaching of many of her minis ters ; and the theory wr are considering is the lever with which the work of destruction is etfieted. And I am sorry to be obliged to odd, that the blame dues not rest with the Anglicans alone ; 11w low church, and evangelical clergy are fur from being innocent in this important matter. The general cast of their doctrines, both as regards religion and ecclesiastical polity, has, no doubt, been protestant ; but their ears have not been proof against the sweet music of opinions, which represented episcopally ordained clergymen as the successors of the Apostles. They have too often been guilty of dwelling on this comfortable distraction between themsehes and their dissenting brethren. They have not been unwilling to appropriate to themselves the superiority over the clergy of the non-conformists at home and protestants abroad, otlieed them by Anglican views. They have shut their eyes to the truth that such a superiority could not be vindicated on their own pnneiples ; and have indulged is loose, misty, illogical language, which accepted the pre-eminence, without daring to justify it. And what have been the consequences? Phut Anglicanism has not encountered that resist ance which the country had a right to expect should have been offered to it by the protestant section of the clergy ; that it has lied a fairer field and more favour than was its due in the actual state of clerical opinion ; and that a general discredit has fallen upm protestant principles, which has enabled Anglicans to paint successfully their views as the only ones which the church acknowledged. No one familiar with meetings of clergy can have failed to observe the weakness of the low church party in face of the Tractarians ; a few of the latter arc more than a match for hosts of the former. And no wonder : the high churchmen put forward their doctrines boldly and avowedly ; each man knows his own meaning and that of his party ; there is identity and fearlessness of assertion, though that assertion is founded on delusion. On the other side, the low church clergy are afraid and ashamed to meet the catholic by the protestant theory; theydare not attack Anglicanism in its very first principles; they lack the courage. and alas! not seldom, the inclination to utter the fearful sounds of the right of private judgment, of the perfect validity of non-episcopal ordination, and non-episcopal sacraments; of the equal legiti macy with their own of non-episcopal churches ; and then can it be matter of surprise, if, being thus afraid to accept the full, nay, the irresistible conclu sions of their protestantism, they are powerless to combat men, whose principles are secretly admitted by their inconsistencies, their halfness of heart and feeling, and their fears? We are engaged in an internecine war of principles ; a war that allows of no quarter being shown ; the opposing principles of ecclesiastical polity are antagonistic to and destruc tive of each other. Nothing but the fullest asser tion of protestant doctrine can repel not only the spurious Anglican, but the only legitimate form— Roman catholicism. It can be met only by a direct counter-declaration of principle. The catholic theory of the church is either wholly false or wholly true. Let the evangelical clergy realise the truth that these are the only two possible positions, and that there can bo no halting between these two opinions. Till they do this, their resistance must be ineffectual and despised, and progresi and victory must be the mead of those who, nevertheless ,within the church of England, have no defensible cause. I have been led into this digression by the feeling of shame and sorrow, that the true doctrine of the church of England should be deprived of its natural defenders. I do not wish to pain their feelings. They mast, I am sure, be deeply grieved by the catastrophes which are daily occurring before their eyes; and I hope they will forgive me if, in a crisis of such magnitude, I attempt to point out the real character of the struggle, and to urge them to take up that ground, on which alone they can, but on which also, if bravely occupied, they must certainly win the day. Now, to come back to the Anglican view of the Reformation. I observe that it is a question of title, and of title only. The legitimacy and authority of the Reformation, and of the church of England, which was its product, arc the points at issue. The actual doctrines of that church, their truth and ex cellence, as well as of her ecclesiastical system, are one thing; the authority by whose sanction those doctrines were professed aria that polity adopted is another. We are here wholly unconcerned with the first; our sole business is with the latter. The pro testant asserts that the church of England bases her religious creed on the private judgment of the Chnstian society in England, and her ecclesiastical constitution on the inherent right of that society to frame its own government for itself. The Anglican derives the legitimacy of both the creed and the polity from the authority of a special corporation, which was exclusively endowed by Christ with the prerogatives of declaring religious truth, and governing the Christian body; and this corporation he affirms to have existed all along in England since the introduction of christianity into oar island, and to have been the sole fountain of right and lega lity for every proceeding carried on in the English church. Every act of religious government, which was not the act of this corporation, he stigmatises as invalid and rebellious; and in conformity with the necessity imposed upon him by his theory, he declares the reformation to have been the work of this divinely instituted corporation. Hence a double task is required of the Anglican. He is bound, like the Romanists, to prove that one special self-perpetuating body of men was instituted by Christ to rule Christians far all ages, and to be the sole depository of religious truth and govern ment; and then he is further bound to show, in re spect of England in particular, first, that the na tional episcopal clergy were not merely apart of the universal corporation of Christian ru ers, but pos sessed fully and de jure all the entire powers of that corporation for that particular nation ; and secondly, that all the acts done at the Reformation were per formed by, and in the name of, and by virtue of, the mule authority of the divine instrument of faith and government. With Rome, as against the Christian society, he must establish the transfer by a positive divine appointment of the right of self-govern ment, otherwise inherent in it, from the whole body of Christians to a particular order amongst them; and as against the Papist, he must prove first that the divine organisation is not one but ninny, com posed of many co-ordinate national unities, each enjoying the fullest right to rule faith and practice for its own particular nation, however much all the other co-ordinate corporations dissent front and eon demi; its ordinances; and, secondly. that the teno vated constitution of the church of England, her separation from the rest of Christendom, her new articles of faith, her litany, her laws, were all the regular and deliberate enactments of thia divinely instituted authority. I will not discuss now the theory of national • churches, nor the fearful disadvantages under which the Anglican theory labours when compared with the . papal ; but I ask at onee, on the hypothesis of the truth of the Anglican view, whether the Reforma tion was really the work of the episcopacy of Eng land ? Will any man who sets the slightest value on historical reputation step ficrward and declare that the schism from Rome, the new fbrmularies of faith and worship, and the ecclesiastical constitution of the English church, were the deliberate and voluntary acts of the English clergy? It is neces sary at this time of day to remind the Anglican that the recognition of the supremacy of the crown was extorted from a most reluctant convocation by the imminent peril of a pneinuuire ? 'that the submission" of the clergy, whereby they pledged themselves not to pass any causes or constitution without the assent of the crown, was enacted by par liament, equally under the pressure of the civil power? That the recorded opinion of almost all the episcopal bench against the Innovations in religion exist to this day? That the proemdings of the reign of Edwaril Vt., whic•lt erected the church of England, were the work of acts of parliament and royal commissions, which had nothing but statutes of Henry VIII. and his ton to authorise them? That the visitations and htjunctions which carried out these measures emanated solely from royal authority, and commanded the giving of the cup to the laity, the use of the Prayer-hook, and other mast important points of ritual and doctrine? That the Prayer-book itself, which the act of uniformity of Elizabeth esta blished, and which the Anglicans extol as the precious depository of catholic truth, never reecived the sanction of convocation, but rested on the decree of parliament alone? That when protestant prin ciples finally triumphed by the accession of Eliza berth, only one bishop could he found who would re tain his office under the new creed? Shall we be told any longer, in the face of such facts, that it was the old church', the bishops of the old Anglican church, who were moved by holy zeal and inspired enlightenment to shake off the corruptions of Rome and restore the pure and ancient faith.' It is idle to urge in reply that the doctrines and practices introduced were of catholic quality. This is an assertion of private judgment, which may be true or false. Our concern here is not with the doctrines themselves, but with the au thority which established them. And this I affirm to have been the will and opinion of the Christian people, as expressed by their legislature. For the facts compel one of two conclusions. Either the separation from the old and the establishment of the new church was forced upon a dissenting clergy, upon these divinely ordained expositors of the faith and rulers of the church, by an authority higher than their ownand an acquiescence in the revolution effected by this power becomes a complete acknow ledgment of its competency to overrule the opinion and authority of the clergy and a real abandonment of any attempt to derive legitimacy fur the new order of things from the authorities thus overruled, or we are driven to the only other possible inference. We must, then, suppose that it pleased God to reveal the corruptions of Rome and the purity and aposto licity of the reformed doctrine to tfie minds of the King and his parliament alone ; but that to save the institution of the episcopate as the divine organ of truth and government, it equally pleased God to keep away from the minds of the still blinded clergy all thoughts of invincible resistance or of becoming martyrs for the truth, and to give them the grace of being willing, against their own convictions, to enact and establish • convocation a profession of faith and an ecclesiastical polity which had nothing to sanction them but the will and com mand of the King and people. To the Anglican I say, " titrum horum ;" either conclusion is sufficient for the practical refutation of catholic principles within the church of England. In my next letter I will consider the doctrine of national churches, on which the right of the English church to dissent and separate itself from all other catholic churches is theoretically maintained. A---- THE BISHOP OP EXETER'S " SYNODICAL ACTION" SCHEME.—On Monday the Rev. John Rowe, rector of St. Mary Arches, convened a rural decanal meeting to discuss the propriety or otherwise of approving of the bishop's scheme for bringing about synodical action. Only fifteen clergymen out of thirty-seven in the deanery attended, and these were far from being unanimous. Weunderstand that one clergyman boldly protested against the whole measure ; and two or three expressed their determination uot again to attend a similar meeting. It has been suggested in influ ential quarters, that a meeting of the laity of the diocese will be requisite, to take into consideration these recent proceedings of the Bishop of Exeter, which now occupy so much of the public attention. The eyes of the nation at large are turned towards the county of Devon, in anxious expectation of its adoption of steps Wr the maintenance and vindication of that great protestant principle—the right of private pidgesent.—Ezeter Flyisag Pod. DEFALCATIONS LN THE BIRMINGHAM POST-OFFICE. Considerable sensation has been produced within these few days in Birmingham by the suspension of three clerks in the money-order department of the postoffice, whose places are supplied by three others from the bead office in London. The names of the three suspended clerks are Holberton, Bakewell, and Charnock ; but the more immediate cause of their suspension is somewhat veiled in mystery, although sufficient has transpired to show that there must have been great laxity of duty, to say the least, if no graver charge can be sustained against them. The following particulars are mainly correct, and may be relied upon as a true outline of the case. The duty of Holberton WW4 to receive moneys and write receipts, while that of Bakewell was to pay the orders presented from other offices • but these 'duties occasionally were re ciprocally performed by both, which in some measure has led to the defalcations in question. How Charnock is mixed up in the matter, or whet were his precise duties we are not at present enabled to state. Holberton has been in the office upwards of eight years, and has had passing through his hands, in trifling amounts, from eighty to one hundred thousand pounds a year, while Bakewell, who has been longer employed, has paid out, upon the average, one hundred and fifty thousand pounds during the same time. The" outs "of the Money-order-office of Birmingham are consequently almost double the " ins," a fact which has a curious bearing upon the peculiar industry of the town, as it clearly indicates that there are a number of small manu facturers who live from hand to mouth, and who regularly depend upon their customers remitting them the trifling proceeds of their industry. There is also a manager, who is appointed, w e believe, - by the heads in London, and upon whom devolves the duty of inspecting the accounts weekly, if not nightly, either personally or by delegation. The machinery, therefore, of the money-order department of the office is exceedingly simple. Whence, then, the defaleationt ? It appears that there is a consider able amount, which may be called a floating balance, always in the hands of the clerks—at least, if it is not always in their hands, it is simply transferred after busi ness hours to the post-mistress fur safe custody—sometimes sealed but more frequently not, and handed back to them in the morning. A word or two upon that respectable functionary the post-mistress, against whom not a shadow of blame can rest. The appointment is a sinecure, and dates back as far as the good old times, as they arc rantingly called, of George the Third ; it was given lift certain services, not strictly defined, reedered to that blind and bigoted old monarch by one of his German attendants, whose widow, we believe, the present func tionary is. Have the wet-nurses from London, under the recent improvements in Post-office management, materially obviated the inconveniences which that fag-end of monopoly has entailed upon Birmingham ? That fustian is answered by the da , nottenteiat which we are now describing. We have said that a considerable balance—sometimes four, five, and six hundred pounds—has been left in the hands of the clerks, and seldom, if ever, balanced up nightly. Here has arisen the error—here we may trace the germ of the defal cations, which have become swollen to their pr sent dimen sions from positive negligence, if from no graver error, and which ought to call down the severest reproof upon those who have so slovenly performed their duty. From the pres sure of business, which may be estimated oy the "ins" and " outs " already cited, it will readily be imagined that errors frequently occurred under such incompetent manage ment, either by taking had money, by paving too such, or by making out the receipts wrongly, all of which have been the case occasionally, and one or other of them frequently. Why have these Inches been permitted? One word will answer the question—negligence or incapacity. Yet this • negligence or incapacity, or both combined, 111, been mani , fest for a long period, and several complaints have been ut ter ed, if not formally made to the authorities ; still no effort was made to obviate it; the accumulation of the defiles thins grew up under the noses of the officials in Binning , ham; and however inconvenient, if not positivelyalishonest, to the community at large, it was blindly overlooked until it became too palpable fur even the most purblind vision to miss it. The precise amount of the defalcations has not ' transpired, as the matter is yet Bab judice ; nevertheless, ' one party acknowledges a deficiency of abut forty pounds, which he states has arisen from sometimes receiving too • little, at others paying too much, or taking had money. . These deficiencies are mails up out of the salaries of the , clerks themselves, and not from a general fund, as is generally that ease in banking establishments, where they fall coin wariftively light upon the individual. Now, had these clerks • been compelled to make up their deficiencies nightly, in stead of has Mg a large balance left perpetually iu their • !iambs upon which they cuula draw ad libitum, even taking this liberal view of the case, the error would have been checked in its germ, and the defaulter. themselves would most probably have been spared the pain of either standing I before the world in a criminal attitude, or as slovenly, slitiacring, and incompetent oltieials. Here we have another exemplification that most of these appointments are made to fit the individual, not the individual to fit the Lim. ',ointment ; hence the inconvenience which the public have 1 to endure, and the scandal of official incompetency. MURDER NEAR TRURO. (From the Exeter Flying P. 4.) It has happily been some years since the frightful crime of murder has been perpetrated in Cornwall ; hut we are sorry that we have again to add to the catalogue of heinous guilt, a murder committed in this county on Satur day last. The locality where the deed wit: perpetrated is called Silverwell, near the Chiserton Arms, on the road be tween Truro and St. Agnes, and about five miles front the former place. The murdered man, William Kendall, occu pied a small farm, and lived in the house with his wife alone. This was his second site, to whom he had been married about four years. Her former name was l'eague, and she had a son by her fin.t husband, called Elijah Teague, and now about seventeen years of age. 'lbis son lived with his mother and Mr. Kendall until January last, when he went to lodge at a neigh bouring house with Henry Grose ; but lie still occa sionally worked on the farm for his father-in-law, who was about 72 years of age. His father-in-law had on Saturday last ridden to Chacewater, and the young man was on that day working on the fano, employed in threshing and boiling turnips. His father-in-law was never more seen alive ; but was discovered on Sunday morning dead in his own house, sitting on a chair in the parlour. There was a large wound over the centre of his forehead, of an irregular oval figure, two inches and a half in length and two inches in width. The mortal blows appeared to have been given with dreadful force the bones were broken in, and the surgeon who was calbsl inserted his finger on the right side to the depth of nearly an inch. Sixty-one pieces .if hone were extracted, and the lioness* were driven an inch and a quarter below the surface of the skull. A hammer was found on the ganlen hedge,end this hammer fitted into the wound in the man's forehead. A w hite hair was found attached to She end of the hanainer, and the surgeon, on a microscopical exami nation, believes it to be a human hair, and that in all pro bability it was torn from the deceased's eyebrow. An in quest has been held on the body, before Mr. John ('arlyon, county coroner. The inquiry commenced on Monday, at 11 o'clock, was continued on Tuesday, and did not ti rmi nate until late on Tuesday night. The result was, that a verdict of " Wilful murder " was returned against the de ceased's son-in-law, Elijah Teague, who was apprehended under the coroner's warrant, and has been committed to the county gaol at Bodmin to take his trial of the next assizes. The evidence ou which the jury grounded their verdict was of a singular character, and wholly circumstantial. The son-in-law was examined at the inquest, as will as other witnesses. Ile states that he found deceased, who had returned from Chacewater, about eighty I yards from his own house, lying on the ground in sensible, with a large wound in his head, caused by kick from his horse ; that he then lifted hint up, and car ried him into his own house, his heels dragging on the ground. There do not appear, however, to be any marks of the body having been thus dragged over the ground. Deceased's wife was absent at this time, having gone to Henry Grose's (Elijah Teague's lodgings.) On her re turning and asking for her hu baud, league said Ile was in the parlour, but he would not allow her to go in, say ing the horse had " thrown" to him, and it would Hurry her. She did not go in, but went back to Geese's house, who called one or two neighbours, and with them end his wife proceeded to deceased's dwelling. When they got there they found deceased's wife walking up and down before the house, she having left Grose's house in the interim, and gone there. The neigh bour* found the door locked, and could not find the key where it was usually placed when no one was at home. As they could nut get in, deceased's wife proposed that the door should be lifted from its hinges, but this was not done, and, strange to say, no entry was made into the place until the next morning, when the old man was found in the parlour, as before described. The surgeon, Mr. Moyle, does not , conceive the wound in deceased's forehead could have been , caused by the kick of a horse, as stated by Elijah Teague, but that the injury was inflicted by two or more blows from some heavy instrument. Another circumstance wa the fact of Elijah Teague having been about three hour s, absent from home to call a surgeon (according to his own statement), and an explanation of which he was called on to give in his evidence. Ile also pointed out five spots of blood at the place where he says he found deceased's body before he took it into the house ; but the surgeon gives his opinion that the spots are not blood that had flowed from a recent wound. I 1 The prisoner's own statement of the circumstances hay ing been heard, and the evidence of the surgeon, as well as 1 that of Mary Grose. Henry Gnaw, and Edward Mitchell. I of Tregavethen, the jury, at the adjourned inquest held on I Tuesday, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against I 1 Elijah Teague," who was committed to the next ensile for trial. There does not appear in the evidence anything to I show a motive for the committal of the act, but it is stated 1 in the neighbourhood that there were frequent disagree- meats between the deceased and his eem-in-law. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. ' M ARLBOROUG 11-ST REET. Three Irishmen, who gave the mines of Fay, M‘Disifey, and Carpenter, were charged with assaulting Mr. J. Vinden and his brother, F. Vinden, No. 5, Great Clapp-street, Newington-causeway. Mr. J. Vinden stated that yesterday morning he and his brother were walking alongside:of the Serpentine, near the Crystal Palace, when they saw the prisoner and about 50 others pelting a foreign gentleman with mud and stones. The gentleman expostulated with the mob, whereupon his hat was knocked off, and himself rolled in the mud. Witness and his brother ran to his aid, when they were hustled by the p risoners , and wit ness was knocked down by the prisoner Fay, and while he was lying on the ground the other two tried to f o rce a handful' of mud into his mouth. His brother, who was also mush ill-treated, contrived to make his escape, and, having procured the inisistance of the police, the prisoners were secured and conveyed to the station. Mr. F. Vindeu corroborated the evidence of his brother. The pri.oners, who denied the charge, were each com mitted to the House of Correction for sia weeks, with bard labour. IV. Pearce and H. Barnett were charged with picking the pockets of several gentlemen in Ilyile.park. Lockerhy, 180 8, deposed that yesterday morning he was on duty, in plain clothes, on the north side of the Exhibi tion, when he saw the two prisoners together, and, knowing them to be suspected characters, he watched fur some minutes, sad saw the prisoner Pearce go up to • gentleman who was standing by the water, and take something Irons his pocket, which he handed to Barnett. Witness, having learned from the gentleman that he had lost his pocket handkerchief, went in pursuit of the prisoners, and caught them in the act of rubbing another gentleman. He took them into custody, and on searching them found upon Barnett six silk handkerchiefs concealed next his skin, and on Pearce he found two snuff-boxes and a handkerchief. The gentlemen who had been rubbed were not in attend. 1111 CV. The prisoners, who did not Mier any defence, were cow. witted for three months. About a dozen other charges of a similar nature were dis posed of in like manner. MONEY MARKET. Tills DAY. Two o'CLow. The English stock market opened this morning with a steady appearance at the full rally noticed on Wednesday, but realizations have since taken place which have driven prices back a shade below the last range of that day's market. No considerable amount of movement is perceptible in the Stock Exchange generally, and the attendance of dealers is not so large as usual. Nest week more activity may be looked for. Consols opened at 961 to for money, and 961 to 97 for the 13th of May, and are now called worse, at 961 to and 961 to respectively. The Reduced Three per Cents. have again been operated in on public account. The:official business list is as follows : fliece per Cent. Ccinsols, 961, • ditto for account, 961, 97, 961; Three per Cents. Reduced , 96, I, 93.1; Sew T hree-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 97.4, ; Long Annuities, 1860, 7: ii -16; ditto 30 years, 1839, 7 1-16. Bank Stock, 210, 211. India Stuck, 261. South Sea Stock, 1071 ; ditto old annuities, 931. Exchequer Bins are still quoted at the . depressed prices lately established.

RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. The share market opened with a verifirm—ap pearance this morning, and prices have since shown a decided upward tendency, bargains being concluded in moat stocks on higher tcrmsthan could be obtained on Wednesday. Additional confidence is imparted to buyers by the very favourable appearance of the traffic returns (as shown in another column), the in crease over last year being expected to be well maintained, and even more decidedly shown in fu ture returns. Business in this department is mode rately active. The lines which show the most marked improvement in price to-dai are the Midland, London and South-Western, Eastern Counties, Great Northern, South-Eastern, and Brighton. Berwick') and York and North Midlands, on the contrary, are rather weaker. SHARMA AND 4171" KS UNGUARATTECTI. C.osing prim Watorsday. 46:01 today up to I o'dotk.

PROPOSED NEW LINE OF RAILWAY TO UNITE MAN CIIP.tITEa, Bliti EN II EAP, AND LI V PAPOOL.—it is rumoured that a new line of railway, to unite Manchester with Liver pool, is in contemplation, extending by a tunnel from the Arcade to the Dingle, and thence forming a junction with the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Railway.
