LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4. VERY powerful and highly-coloured pictures have recently been drawn of the general inefficiency and occasional indolence of the Church of England clergy, and of their inability, from these and other cause, to keep pea with the growing spiritual wants of the time. The evil hes been set before the world with all the practised skill of rhetorical amplification, bat no attempt has yet been made to suggest a remedy. Let as endeavour to supply the omission. No doubt there is a considerable amount of truth, mixed with much exaggeration, in the general repro mutation given by a distinguished **temporary of the extent of the evil which be has so vigorously ex posed. Is very many cases, indeed, it is notoriously not the fret that anything like residuum or in dolence is chargeable on the working clergy. Frequently the reverse is the cue; and that to each a degna that instances are not uncommon, especially among the younger clergy, in which men working single-handed in populous parishes have literally and simply worn themselves to death with over exertion. But still, notwithstanding the vast infusion of fresh lite and energy which, during the bat tee or tweety years, has been so marked a feature in the English Church, the rule, we take it, unforta mately still is, that in the larger proportion of eases the parochial clergyman is satisfied with a slipshod and slovenly performance of hie dada; and is, in fact, bet too often what he has been described as being, ." the idlest paid labourer in his parish." This leen, without taking the extreme instances of Wales and Cumberland, where it is still notoriously true that the clergyman le frequently rather a tiller of his glebe than a pastor of his flock, immersed daring six days of the week in such severe struggles for a livelihood here u to leave him but little capacity on the seventh to expound for his parishioners the way to the better life hereafter. Bat Lord BLANDYORIAI notion, ao unhappily adopted by those who see the evil without being able to provide any effectual remedy for it, of dividing pariahs*, building new churches, and thereby cresting a larger num bir of indepsowiessi clergy, isemactly the cm to Menem and perpetuate the mischief. L those professions when remuneration deposal, cc, and is commensurate with, intelligeses, new promptnets, and regularity, every man may well be left to shift for himself; and so may the public in reference to than professions. But where then are Axed stipends, oertain payments, biennia incomes, and each like dampers to incitement and exertion. men, se a general rale, are net to be relied upon doing their professional duty up to the mann of their capacity. Individuals there alms will bit honest sod :calm in, and true and faithful to, the work they have to do; but the penal rule is hem arable w►ich requires for security, for safety, and for the dee performance of labial, either the incement spar of self-interest, a close control by empnbstead saw, or the neural responsibility, and sheik, or encouragement (es thalami may be) which, mosompany association and beget stimulus in work. Now, in the cue of the clergy, then is no elms sad effective superintendence of the work of each in cambent in his separate and independent cure of souls; and, increase the episcopate as you may, re quire from the clergy what reports, dierise, or logs that the wit of man can devise, none suit an be obtained. All that you meld do by each moms would be to make confusion worse nefoomded, to sonvert the bishops, their archidieemal 0 eyes,* and their rural demons, ion a hierarchy of eeskeiartioal smuchords, and to alienate the parochial clergy hem, and to exasperate,them spinet, their uprises. The alternative is, the responsibility which cosmos of eisimiatioc. But, to neon it, we nest desessi how the clouds and be content to walk es the meth r we mast eschew the amateur legisladom of Lord SLAM,. Ina and the industrial dreams of Mr. Enrosoom sad take ourselves to pa-entice' names and preluded advienn Ask any incumbent of large experience la largo whim, who has done hie duty up to the limit of his ability, and 'hokum the real state of things hem something better than societies' reports, Blae Books, or idle soavereadow—and yos will And that in the opinion of such a man, the parochial work is always beet done according to the greater number of tholes waisted in carrying out that work.

The evil does not lie, SS Lord Btruproxte and hi. keetor suppose, in large parishes. By all means build more places of worship; by all means obtain fonds for the maiatenance of Mee 'limey. Bot do not divide pandits (wept where they are inordinately large) into new and iadependeut parishes ; do not build large churches ; do sot devolve the ears of new districts to one poor is depeadent irreepoesiblo clergymen.

Thus in large parishes we should get mutual evangel, mutest responsibility, close mutual affectionate superintendence, a division of labour, one kind of work allotted to one man, another kind of work to another; we should not have more schools built than necessary ; we should not raise huge, over grown, and deserted churches; and we should be able to collect larger funds for what the poorer parts of the parish might need, and to provide a supply of hard working men heartened by the spirit of co operative association for the great and arduous task of spreading amongst our rapidly-growing population a knowlsdp of the truth. Co-operative association' of working elargymen in our existing parishes is what we want, not the creation of new; parishes; and for the means of thus adding to the numbers of the working clergy let the Church of England look, not to State aid, bat to the voluntary assistance of her own members. An increased number of Church-paid curates would be a far more valuable auxiliary to the Establishment, as well as an infinitely greater advantage to the poorer classes of the laity, than an increased number of State•paid bishop..

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE STATE OF NAPLES. (PLOW 0171 OWN NAPLES, 8w T. 29. There are two sources of protection on which the King of Naples relies, and relying on which he will resist all remonstrances—the Madonna and hi. army. Throughout the summer we have had intermi nable series of fates in honour of the Queen of Heaven and her attendant saints ; and on the 18th or 19th instant, when all were watching the movements of M. Hubner,his Majesty mut engaged with the diplo twists of Heaven. On the evening of the 18th a friar of St. Lucia, much venerated in royal circles us man of God, was ushered into the royal preemies. On the 19th, too, there was summoned to the palace the " 8•ova Bersflns," a woman reported to be a " basso spirito." She had • long conversation with their Majesties, and left the palace in one of the carriages of the court. The counsels of these perso•ages may prevail over the notes of all the cabinets of Europe. Of course these anecdotes will be listened to in Rag land with incredulity, and yet they are trifles com pared with what I might narrate. The other point cfoppui of his Majesty is his army, and my lot letter spoke of military preparations. I have now to add that, on the 24th inst., Cot. Agostici, at the bead of a commission, went to visit the marine forts The objects were to me if the " incnociamento" of the tire was perfect, and if the condition of the forts was good. It was found that the battery " casamatata "of the Military Port had elisions is the bens of the arches, whilst the vaults of Castel- Novo were full of elisions. It was decided not to repair, but to report that they were in bad condition, as no one would take the reeponsibility of repairing what might be wanted on the moment. As to the battery of the Mole, it was decided to make Nome slight alteration in the planting of the anima so as to ensue a better erose-flre. As to the land force, it is being concentrated more and more upon Gaeta, where from 8,000 it has been increased to 10,000 within a abort time, and where also (and this is a novelty) cavalry have been summoned. A Rosman circular, sent by the imperial govern. meat to all its foreign agents, arrived here on the 18th inst. The ordinary correspondence of political prisoners in Montererdao with their families is now much more restricted, though the place is visited by the comman dant. Nevertheless, it transpires that the health of Baron Poerio is veryweak, and awakens new fears. He has lately had a surgical operation performed—whe• titer slight or not I cannot tell—and by the last ad vice' was confined to his bed. Ton will remember the can of poor Zeit% the consumptive patient— the skeleton in chains. Well, he died there three weeks since, his father not being permitted to close his eye,. Died hoped to have sent more details, and had, therefore, deferred my report. The great news of the day is the confident and, I think, well•grooaded expectation of the arrival of the fleets, and the then consequent departure of oar legations. The excitement and rejoicing which have been thus created are universal, for all parties have been long agreed that Nothing bat sock a stop would ever produce any results in Naples. Ob stinate by nature and in principle, the political system of King Ferdinand is a religion to him. He neither can nor will abandon the faith and practice of his life. Oa this account, thereon, intervention becomes a necessity to save Italy from revolution and Europe from war. For the reasons, too, I have alleged above Ferdinand can never burnout= with the new state of things. "Pat not new wine into old skins" is a proverb two thousand years old. Of a choice of evils.

Rainier left Naples some days since for Leghorn and Florence, thus changing his route. Mr. Lowther, who was to have been here last week, dose not come for the peesent—in feat, the French and British legations are, I may say, on the eve of departure.

The data are :—Boinbry, August 29 ; Calcutta, August 22 ; Hong Bong, August 9; Canton, August 8 ; Shanghai, July 31. The Bombay papers state that, consequent upon orders from home, preparations are being made in Bombay for a military demonstration in the Persian Golf. No details of these alleged preparations are given, and the statements of the Indian press on the eubjeOt wear a very speculative air. The Bombay Timm reports Mr. Vernon Smith's speech delivered in the House of Commons on the 21st of July, and then says: The Chairman of the Board of Control having announced in his speech on Indian affairs, that after the treaty catered into with Persia in 1853 binding the Shah not to laterfere with Herat, it would be impossible to permit advances to be made on that city, or, should it already be occupied, means must be taken to met its occupants, • deepatch was received by the government of Bombay to mike the accessary preparations for extremities. By latest accounts Herat has for some months been in the possession of Persia, the Afghans, though eager, being nub's to expel them. We are at present, therefore, busy, is compliance with instructions from home, main arrangements tar the despatch of a forge to the Gulf. Persian staohinatious and insolence made their appearance when Russia was supposed to be carrying everything before her in the Crimes, and we have no doubt, now that the war is closed, that the Shah will see the wisdom of acting on the counsel given him from St. Peters burg ill months ago, on no acoourt to get into a squabble with England. A vigorous remonstrance, end the know ledge that we are preparing to back this by • tome perfectly Irresistible, will in all likelihood obtain for us all that we desire without the movement of a man. From Affghanistan tidings must always be re ceived with very great allowances. Dost hiahomed is still at Cindshar, anxious bet unable to get to Herat. The Persians are endeavouring meanwhile to work upon his fears, and trying to persuade him to return to Cabal. His soldiers are said to be going over in thousands to the enemy, Affghsn irregulars being in general ready to juin any cause where plunder is in ROW. The Laho►s Chrofsicle says : On the authority of letters received from Cabal, " The capture of Herat wee effected by force, and not by fraud. Barash Khan, the governor of the place, wished to make term., but the offer was refused. The besiegers succeeded in destroying one of the gates. They then carried the city by atom, with aloes on their aide of 1,500 killed. Dost Me homed is of coons much dispirited by this news, sad does cot propose to return to Cabal for the present. A European lately arrived from Candaber from Herat. The Lester told kim to go en to Shan/pore in Ends ; but be instead went to Cabal, end maned himself for a time In the hones of a Jew merchant. He was at last dkcevered and curia to tho dasher of fathomed Amass Khan, the Dot's son, who ordered his paints to murder him ; bat by the recommenda tion of Mahouts& Osman Khan, the Doet's nephew, his life was spared, and he was delivered to the Vakeel of the Bri tish government, to be forwarded to Peshawar. It appears that the Europeanises preferred to remaia at Cabal to pm- Um medicine." All apprehensions of a second &tail insurrection had pined away. The unfortunate people were sat faring from a famine, the natural result of the last year's rising.. The Governor-Geaeral was at Calcutta, and Lord Harris at Madras; Lord Elpbinstooe was about to proceed to the Deccan, where, however, he would only make ?a short sojourn, "hie object," says the Bom bay lima," being to consult with the Commander in-Chief on the proposed Persian expedition." A subscription bad been set on toot in Calcutta for the benefit of the victims of the recent inundations in France, and up to the latest dates amounted to about 8001. The weather had for the fortnight been singularly agreeable, with a pleasant intermixture of sunshine and showers. The fall of rain up to the latest date was short of sixty inches, and the monsoon would in all likelihood be somewhat under an average, but it had occurred so seasonably as to be eminently favour able for sgticulture. CHINA. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Singapore, with the English =Sof the 10:h of June, arrived at Hong Kong on the 25th of July. News from London 45 days old. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship Chosen, with telegraphic re ports via Calcutta from London to the 28th of June, arrived on the sth August, three weeks from Bombay, followed the next day by the report bearer to Singa pore, the Fiery Cross, 13 running days only from Calcutta. The Lightning, also from Calcutta via Penang, arrived on the morning of August 9. The most remarkable record of the month elapsed since the despatch of the previous mail had been the ex ceedingly inclement weather. In Canton as much as 113 inches of rain fell in 57 days. The foreign factories were flooded, communication in some cases being kept op by hosts. Ruin to the provincial rice crops follows as a matter of course, and great is the distress anticipated from the conjunction of the high price of rice and anarchy. Touching the rebellion, the Over and Friend of Chino says: As the rebellion approaches it; crisis this subject is De eming more and more absorbing. News very unfamer. absl to the imperialists has recently reached Scenghai. 044 report says three cities south-west of Sco-chow hove fallen. The latest iatelligeace of the rebels in the neighbourhood of Nanking is that they have been gaining upon the imperialists, end have taken the town Keeling sad a district town is the vicinity of Nanking, also Leih-yeag, which belong. to the department of Chin Kiang, sad ere now besieging the town of B sing, la C►ug chow-fee. The commander in-chief of the imperials% Heanrynng, has beau compelled to withdraw hie forest from the neighboae. hood of Nanking. The cavalry under his command have disappeared, and his other troops are dispirited. The two parties have lately had two g e I battles, In both of which the insurgents were victors. In the firsts Go vernor Keib fell, and various other high officers were killed. In the lest the chief commander of the day wee wounded in the thigh, and his troop routed by the issargente. The whole province of Xiang-el, joining Kivang-tang on the north-sect, is new reported ea entirely in possession of the isieurgeste. The PA* Gaseils (day 22) gives an eesomt of the lose of Niog-kwoh-feo, about 200 miles west of fibmighal:— . On the 7th inst. oar local reporter informed to of the loss of Usg-ehow, in Kwangoi, where the rebellion first com menced, sad is new golag ea with power. The officers in Gemmed were wounded, the fortifications sad war junks all taken, exempting nine that made their imps. Again smother despatch tame on the 27'h ult., saying that the market-tows of Wsercheng was taken by the rebels, and one commander perished. The peat month mute to have been an ufortena•e period for the imperialists; the reports of their losses, like Job's, follow each other in quick sums ; bat them is one consolation, it is to be hoped that their less k the eonatry's gain." Nothing had been heard of Admiral Seymour since his excellency left Shanghai for Japan in July. The Nankin is guard ship at Hong• Kong I the Bittern is at Whampoa, but will go to Canton shortly. The Comes proceeded on Admiral Stirling's convoy service up the coast, duly, oa the Ist August. AUSTRALIA. We are in receipt of Sydney papers to the Bth of July, contaioing advice from Melbourne to the 28th of Jane. The Sydney Herald contains a sum mary prepared for the Star of Peace, from which we take some passages:— " Parliament was opened by commission on the 22d of May, under circumstances of greater ioterest than had ever before attended the opening of the ssioas of the colonial legislature. " In the Legislative Assembly, the election of a speaker gave rise to a long and animated debate, and to a remarkably close contest. The candidates ter the honour were, Mr. Watson Parker, chairman of committees io the old Legislative Council, and Mr. Daniel Cooper, one of the members for the Sydoey hamlets. Mr. Parker was supported mainly by the adherents of the government ; Mr. Cooper reale ing, on the other hand, the support of the occupants of the opposition benches. Mr. Cooper was ulti• mately elected by a majority of 24 to 23.! " On the following day the parliament was formally opened for the despatch of business by his exce.lency the Ooveraor•Qeneral in person. "The actual extent of our commerce is gradually progressing, as may be seen from the statistics which we give below, which indicate a substantially in creased consumption. Cumplaints of the dulnees and languor of trade are not unusual, but these are rather suggested by the contrast between the present aspect of the markets and that which th.-y wore during the early period of the gold discovery than indicative of a positive decline in the amount of busi ness transacted. "The increase in our popniation, in the quantity and the value of oar produce, and in all branches of colonial industry is necessarily augmenting the de mand for imported goods of every description." We extracted in a former issue an account of the massacre, by the natives of Woodlark Island, of an Italian missionary and the crew of the brig Gazelle. The Sydney paper affords the names of the captain aid crew thus: The names of the unfortunate sufferers were, besides the missionary before-mentioned :—William Thomas Parking, captain, a native of Deptford ; Junius Parking (his brother), chief mate, aged 27; Robert King, bora at Norfolk, Eng land, carpenter ; Henry Chula, of Chelaea cook and steward, aged 20; James C..ffey, of Liverpool, able seaman, 32 ; Henry Wilson, born in the United States, able seamen, aged 27 ,• John Offline°, of Boston, able seaman, aged 30; Joseph Fallard, of Maryland, able seamen, aged 32; H. Baguet, of Caswell, ordinary seaman, aged 20 ; and a lad, a native of Sydney, 15 years of age, named James Yates. No reoond mate'. name is on the article.. Immediately that the Favourite hove insight of the island it was arranged to entice a number of the crew on shore, murder them, and then attack the vowel. The captsin,however, haying learned from Fearer, who came alongside in a canoe by himulf, the fate of the crew of the Gazelle end the design formed against himself and crew, twice discharged a carronade in the direction of the approaching fleet of canoes, which had the effect of lightening the eccupants and malcieg them speedily retreat to the shore. Pierre was brought on to Sydney, which he had visited on former occasions with members of the mis sion, as it was feared he would have been murdered bad he returned to the island. It is stated that H.N. eb'p Juno will be despatched to Woodlark Island, immediately on hew return to port, with the view of eliciting further particulars, and probably visiting the murderers, whose names have all been ascertained, with condign punishment. The cue of the Gesell* is the third one of the murder of crews of vessels that has been perpetrated by the natives of Woodlark Island within the last fifteen year*. Both at Sydney and Melbourne there had been great rejoicings on account of the peace. The Cana pus from Liverpool had reached Sydney, after a long passage of 168 days. The following extract is from the Melbourne Herald of 28th June: The price of gold I o sellers remains at 31 16s. The entries for shipment at the Custom house tc-dsy consisted of 5,739 ounces for Liverpo 1, 2 020 ounces for Calcutta ' 1.292 ounces for Hong Kong, and 33 ounces f or Sydney. The Customs bill of entry for the week ended on Saturday shows an export of 12,466 ounces, of which the banks shipped 10,555 ounces. The Oriental Bank also shipped 5,000/. in specie to Ceylon. The arrivals fi.r the week ended last night hive been very limited from the melghbouring colonies, but lugs from the United Hiagdom. Including the Ocean Monarch, six large vessels, of over 8,000 tons burden, have entered the bay. The foreign snivel' have been two fr ten Chine xis Ade. laide, one from Heflin., and one from Boston, U.S. The departures for the week hove been 26 vessels, many of small tonnage, and showing a balance in favour of upwards of 6,000 tons. _ . The Age of the same date reports that the escorts from Mount Alexander and Ballarat bad brought in to Melbourne, on the 27th, 29,109 ounces of gold, and 28,7974 cash. On June 27th arrived at Melbourne the ships Oscar I. and Ooldflnder from London, and the James Baines from Liverpool, the latter having suffered in a squall. An agitation was afloat for the assimilation of the tariffs in the Australian colonies. Both at Melbourne and Sydney the necessaries of life were exceedingly cheap, and agricultural produce was selling at prices which were not remunerative. At Sydney, potatoes were unsaleable at 2s. per cwt. Mr. Fellow., a sound and able lawyer in large peso tic., bad accepted the office of Solicitor• General of Victoria. It was hoped that the Chinese, who were very numerous in Victoria, might be induced to engage in making the railways. Both in Melbourne and Sydney associations had been formed against government grants to religious denominations. From South Australia we learn that the Legislative Council had been prorogued by the Governor, after having passed measures for initiating the new con• stitution. The Governor expressed his hope that the political power entrusted to the people and the uni• versal suffrage conceded by the new constitution would prove a safe and conservative measure. Ne gotiations were on foot for connecting Adelaide with Melbourne by electric telegraph. TEE LATE FRAUD ON THB CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. Notwithstanding the zealous exertions of the police, stimulated as they have been by the reward of 2401. offered by the company for his apprehension, the delinquent Robson I. still at large, and up to a late hour last evening not the lightest else was diticovered resonating his whereabouts. It will be seen from the followiegfeeta respecting Itobeat's short career, that amongst the list of modern swindler, ' forger% sad embezzlers, few whose history of prtfliguy an ti extravagance his Dieu mad. public will bear comparison with that of the present delinquent. Four years ago, and shivtly after his marriage, Robson was found to be living with his wife in a single room in the vicinity of Chancery-lane, the rent of which was only 4s 6d. a•week, and his prise', d resouroe at that time was 18s. &week, which he received from a law stationer, in whose service be was. His moans for some time after this were es humble as humility could make them, and the fist change found in them was on his obtaining a situation at the Crystal Palace at a moderato salary, not much exceeding 30s. a-week. A subsequent promotion found him in the com pany's accountant Aloe, and finally he was placed in the registrar of chores and dividend certificate nice, at a salon of 1501. per annum. Oa this slender means he managed to establish a shoaled works in Howling-green-street Kensington cress; be then took a fashionable residence—Kilburn Priory—famished it in a ells of great elegance, established his breughsta, two dog-carte,, and six horse., two of the latter alone having been purchased for 5401.; kept his groom and coaciman in duping liveries; and had his three domestic servants to attend on himself sad his wife. Ibis, to a man with such a limited income as that of Mr. Robots, might be supposed by ordinary winds to be extravag nt, but net an with him. Re, in addit on, considered it necessary to his enjoyments to !tavern:nothing more to beguile his leisure hours, and he took under his protection a courtes in of some celebrity, for whom he took C wage, in the Park red, St. John's.wood, and il:ted II up in a style of surpass ing elegance. and, in addition to other appurtenances for the lady's comfort. provided for her a handsome brugham with cowmen, etc., with liveries to match, and this estab lishment alone must Inn made a e maiderable hole is 1,2001. or 1,6001. a year. Rig attention to this damsel wee perfectly lavish, and it was only a few months ago that be preseeted her with an elegant dressing-cans, furnished with silver. which cos: the trifling sum of 371. Not content with this expensive indulgence of his profit guy, Robson took under his care a young lacy who had been a favourite "Columbine," end established her at • hones in Craves-street, whi re he kept her at an extravagant rate. This lady, however, be has latterly managed to gee of his bends by lending 3001. to a young gentleman who his married her. . . . In addition to all this profligacy and extravagance, Rob. ems was actually in treaty for tt,o purchase of Kenilworth Castle, Worcestershire, from Its present owner, at a coat of 6,0001., hut, before tt e bargain had been octets led, the babble bunt, and he was obliged to cat. A short time bef be absconded, Robson paid 601. to an op`tolstrrer in the Borough for firs it LI of certain' for his boom at Kilburn; and the deluxe of style in which that dwelling was furnabel may be imagined front the fact, that on the sale of its feraiture at the anstion.roome of Mr. Oarnham, of Oxford-street, ft realised no less a sum thee 1.3001. . . . How Robson mold have been allowed to carry on inch a nouns el extraordinary eztravagacce is Maly surprising. ' Hs was know VI every omnibus driver in the nistrooolis se a particularly fast man, and the owner of some of the bad asp about town. In addition to the other means adopted by the police for 64 apprehension, s numb*, of chuguerreotype likenesses of Robson have been struck ..ff, and forwarded to the authori- Cm at all the principal towns and outpors in England, so that hie tempo may be prevailed by every possible means.— itornissg Post. --- LICKNSES FOR MUSIC AND DANCING.—The Court of Quarter Bersions for the county of Middlesex will sit ea Thursday oust, the 9th heated, to anent and resew lianas ender the 26th Geo.
