To those who think it is a matter of conse quence what doctrinal limits the clergy of the Church of England shall be required to ob sena in their public teaching, the Judgment delivered yesterday by the DIAN of ARCH= will not appear tedious, notwithstanding its great length. If, indeed, there are any who expected that the prosecution instituted by the Bishop of SALISBURY would result in a theological determi nation of the questions raised in Dr. ROWLAND WiLLlAms's celebrated Essay, they will be greatly disappointed with Dr. Lusamorores performance; for the learned Judge, as he was most careful to remind his audience, had to deal with the allega tions against the reverend defendant, not as a theo logian, but as a lawyer, trying a criminal charge by the strict rules of legal evidence. The points of view which belong to that position are so diffe rent from those of the general public that a certain want of sympathy between the learned judge and the majority of readers is, perhaps, inevitable. But when the:nature of the questions to which Dr. LusuuiorON was confined is fairly understood, we believe he will receive credit for an able and sincere attempt to grapple with a most difficult subject. Dr. Luau:moron laid down almost at the com mencement of his judgment certain propositions which place the course he subsequently took in a clear light. The issue to be tried was not whether Dr. Wimasus was sound in the faith, for " it is " the undoubted law of England that, except on " the occasions whore examination of clerks by " superior authority is specifically directed by law, " a person in orders may hold what opinions he " will, provided they are kept within his own " breast." Neither was it whether he had main• tamed doctrines inconsistent with the true doc trines of the Christian faith—certainly not. But it was, whether he bad promulgated doctrines at variance with those of the Church as de clared in the Articles and Formularies. Ac cordingly, the censures of the Bishops, as de clared in their memorable letter, and the opinions of eminent divines cited in the course of the arguments of counsel, were unceremoniously set aside as irrelevant, and indeed as declarations to which the Court would not hesitate, if need were, to place itself in opposition. It is the business of a judge to enhance the standards of his Court, and certainly Dr. Lusurnoron did not fail in this duty. For to exalt the Articles of Religion, the Formu laries, and the Canons, he declared that the act of the Legislature which made these binding on the clergy proceeded on the basis that, for the purposes intended, " the Church was in pos " session of all the truth, and that nothing re " mained to be discovered." The learned Judge is not insensible of the difficulties attending this proposition. He candidly admits that "it does " not seem reasonable to suppose that it was in " tended to shut out all inquiry and abnegate all " further discoveries however important ;" but in spite of all difficulties he maintains his inter pretation of the intention of the Legislature, and proceeds to put the case in what is certainly a strong point of view. He says :—" I will pre " sums a discovery to be made of great impor " tance, and proved to the satisfaction of very " many scholars and divines, and that such dis covery militates against some of the Articles. " What is the duty of a clergyman T what of the " Court f Is the Clergyman at liberty to use such " discoveries so as advisedly to maintain what is " repugnant to the Articles? I apprehend Ger " tainly not. Is the Court to discuss whether the " discovery be a real or true discovery, to define " its effect and operation f The Court can do no " such thing ; it has only to administer the law. " The duty of the Court is to shut its ears to all " such discoveries. It is bound by law so to do. " The law must be obeyed, even in what may be " termed most extravagant circumstances." If this strict adherence to judicial principles seems to bear hard on the scholar, impressed with the progressive character of all living knowledge, it certainly is a protection to the beneficed clergy man who, warned of the exact requirements of the law as to his public teaching, may believe privately what he likes, provided only that he ob serve a prudent reticence. Another very important point was determined by the learned Judge respecting reference to the Bible for the purposes both of the prosecution and the defence. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council had previously laid down that the conformity of the Articles of Religion with the Holy Scriptures could not be discussed in cases like this. But it was argued on behalf of the Bishop of SALISBURY, that, as the Liturgy was one of the standards of doctrine, those portions of Scripture—the Epistles and Gospels and Lessons —which are incorporated with it might be appealed to. Dr. LUSHINOTON, however, resolutely re fames to decide whether any doctrinal positions are reconcileable with Scripture or not. For g , a consequence would be, that, instead of all " questions of doctrine not contrary to the Articles " of Religion and the Formularies being what are " termed open questions, the Court would have to " compare what is impugned—a sermon or essay— "by numberless references to various parts of " Scripture. How unsatisfactory would such an " investigation be to the clergy and people of this " realm 1 What confusion would be introduced " by the divers opinions of ecclesiastical judges " What mistakes would necessarily arise 1 Into " what a state of uncertainty would the clergy of " our Church be plunged Pressed by these rea " eons, and urged by every motive to preserve peace " in the Church, I will not be tempted in the trial " of any accusation against a clergyman, to resort " to Scripture as the standard by which the doe " trines shall be measured." i ; ; i l , i , , 1 ti .., , 1 ' t' -:ti, THE E But the question remains—Hot do the Foreat-, laries of the Church require the deny to treat the Bible T According to Dr. Lusunioxott's inter pretation, the answer demanded of deacons at ordination implies " a bond fide belief that the " Holy Scriptures contain everything necessary " to salvation, and that to that extent they have " the direct sanction of the Aunourv." And the Sixth Article teaches the Divine authority of all the canonical books, which are declared to contain all things necessary to salvation. From the lan guage of this Article the learned Judge derives the doctrine of an inspiration which is distin guished by a preternatural and Divine interpo sition from the extraordinary exaltation of the human faculties in men of genius. This derived doctrine he declares to be an indispensable part of the Sixth Article ; therefore he holds that any clergyman who maintains, directly or indirectly, that the Holy Scriptures proceed from the same mental powers as have produced other works, even with the qualification that these powers in the one case and the other differ in degree, thereby con travenes the Articles of Religion. Al to the ex tent to which criticism proper might be exercised on the sacred text, he held that he was not re quired to hold guilty of an ecclesiastical offence persons who should affirm that certain passages were wrongly introduced, and were not entitled to keep their place, in Scripture ; but they must not reject the whole Book—that would be to deny its canonicity, and so to violate the Article. These being the general principles of the Judgment, we may pass very rapidly over their application to the case of Dr. WILLIAM. The learned Judge sometimes finds it difficult to affix a sense to the language of the eseayist, and when that has been done it is not always easy to ascertain when his words represent his own opinions, and when he ought to be considered as merely repeat ing those of Baron BUISSZN. But Dr. Lcannwrois finds the declaration that "the Bible is an expression " of devout reason" inconsistent with the Twentieth Article, in which it is denominated "GOD'S written " word." Dr. Wrisaams's recognition of " the " Eternal Spirit" as informing and inspiring the writers of the Bible is not brought into connexion with this passage by the Judge : on the contrary, Dr. Lusantorox lays down that "devout reason " belongs to the acts and doings of man, and not to " the works of the ALMIGHTY." This panne, there fore, Dr.Lusumorosi condemns. A passage in which Dr. WILLIAM says that the evidences of Scrip ture are " not adequate to guarantee narratives " inherently incredible or precepts evidently wrong," does not appear to the learned Judge to impugn the Articles or Formularies, and so it escapes, although it enunciates the portentous doctrine of the ve rifying faculty. Again, the declaration that "the " Bible is the written voice of the congrege " tion," although it is admitted to be " not a " denial that the Bible is inspired," is declared to be contrary to the Sixth and Seventh Articles. The doctrine of propitiation put forward by Dr. Wrwans, according to which a merely subjective change, and not a new relation brought about by a mediatorial act, is signified, is condemned as contrary to the Thirty-first Article, and similarly his doctrine of justification is declared to violate the Eleventh Article. A large class of opinions, held byDr. i are mentioned in the course of the Judgment as militating against doctrines held by the most vene rated divines, but as to which Dr. Lugar/taro& has not been able to come to the conclusion that in promulgating them the Articles in the Liturgy have been violated. Such are the denials of the Messianic element in Hebrew prophecy; the re jection of the commonly received belief as to the authorship of particular books of Scripture— s& the Book of DAwax, the Second Epistle of Sr. Para; and the Epistle to the Hebrews ; the interpretation in a figurative sense of certain quasi-historical narratives of the Old Testament. The last allegation of the Bishop of SALIM:TRY, that " the tendency, object, and design of the " whole Essay is to inculcate a disbelief of the " Divine inspiration and orthodoxy of the Holy , " Scriptures; to deny the truth of parts thereof, " and to deny the doctrines of original sin, justi " fication by faith, atonement, propitiation, and " the incarnation," is rejected by the Court as unprecedented, and as contrary to the fair rule established by the Judicial Committee in the case of " Boan=a v. Mum," viz., that the words or writ ings of the person accused must be pleaded ; that the meaning, which they are alleged by the prose cution to convey, must be pleaded ; and the parti cular Articles of Religion, orparts of them, asserted to be contravened, must be pleaded aim. The proceedings in the Court of Arches yester day, although important, are but preliminary. Many of the articles are rejected, others are to be reformed, a liberty of appeal is givenin the present stage of the case, and the course of the respective parties is uncertain. As the Judgment stands, however, it will be apparent to any one who will be at the trouble to compare it with the Essay impugned, that it recog nises a much greater latitude of public teach ing than has generally been thought to have the sanction of law in the Church of England, espe cially in the sphere of Biblical interpretation. And on the whole this decision, whatever may suc ceed, cannot fail to have an important place in the religious history of England.

The Monifeur did not appear ou Tuesday for several hours after the usual time of publication. The de ley was occasioned by the debate on the previous day in the Owns Legislatif, which was so stormy that it was not t 'ought proper to publish it as reported by the short-hand writers attached to the chamber. A new edition of the report was made out, amended, corrected, and purified so as to be fit to appear before the public. At Genoa, last week, Garibaldi was • guest of his daughter, Termite, who, with her husband, Major Oansict, resides in a villa near Albaro, and whose "interest ing state" the papers take care to VIIIOUDOS.

How they are g o t . together is sufficiently •• puzzle, and coming as they do fro m at a council of ministers. Thereupon a paragraph is sent to the Pays, commencing as follows :—" We all parts of the kingdom, under specific arrangements as to believe we can state that everything that has been the length of their stay in town, and with railway return ticket. for the week only, it must be obviously imp ss hitherto said on the subject of the despatch of re inforcementa to Mexico is premature."

We recommend no one to thority with the Pays, but by the Pays itself. Al I lose the only opportunity afforded, by to-morrow's p tr , formance, of participating in this brilliant musical friti va l . to what is to happen, the Pays says this. The The Hester-hall offi ces for the sale of tickets hav e bees time of the departure of the troops is not yet fixed. and the Princess Nary, with • host of other dirtaoguisled literally besieged tins mornuig. The Duchess of Cambridge The only thing settled, "as we believe," is the num ber of reinforcements and the designation of the v i s it ors, „ill be present to-morrow. corps which are to compose them. If we (the Pays) are correctly informed, there will be two grand divisions, which, with the troops already in Mexico, will form an army of twenty thousand men. [This, you see, is a larger force than has yet been spoken of.] General Foray, the commander in -chief, is to be invested with political powers which will be " defined hereafter." Moreover Admiral Jurien de la Gravibre is to second, " within certain limits," the diplomatic action of General Forey. All this is not very clear, but one might surmise, since it has been stated that General Forey is to be detained till M. Dubois de Saligny comes home, that the terms of the general's and admiral's diplo matic commissions would not be settled till the arrival of that envoy in Paris. But now, to add to the .00nfusion, the Moniteur do la Plot& says that General Forfeit is to leave Cherbourg for Mexico this very day. It can scarcely be doubted, after the statements of the evening journals which I noticed yesterday, that news bad been received from General de Lorencez, and yet the Monsieur is silent. I sup pose that his despatches are kept back, in order to be produced with the best effect possible in the speech which M. Billault is very likely making at this moment in the Corps Legielatif. The Presse confirms to-night the suspicion which I entertained yesterday, that General de Lorences has retreated as far as Orizaba, and is no longer at Anacsoc, as thegoveroment journals have hitherto asserted. The reason assigned for his further retrograde movement is that at Orizaba the water is better, provisions are more easy to be bad, and that the place is altogether better suited for an en campment while waiting for reinforcements. The Presse repeats, in spite of asseverations to the con trary by most of the seaport journals, that the bulk of the reinforcements will not go out till Sep tember. It says, however, that a corps of 4,000 men will embark immediately for Martinique, in order to become acclimatised, and that they will be encamped on the heights in the interior of the island. It also says—and here I find some evi dence of an intention on the part of the Emperor to get out of the bad mess in which his double dealing has involved him as soon and as well as he can— that all thoughts of establishing a monarchy, or setting up Almonto as president, are given up, and that the only object of France now is to attend to ' the interests of her own subjects. The Progres of Lyons has received a warning for a Paris correspondence in its number of Jane 21, I which contained "false news, propagated with the evident design of throwing discredit upon the imperial government." The false news is pre sumably something of a very dangerous nature, since the warning abstains from quoting a word of it. Viscomte Helion de Barrel= has been cited to appear before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Nioe, for having caused a pamphlet, entitled "De Libertate," to be printed and distributed, that work being considered by the law authorities of a nature to excite hatred and contempt against the govern ment, and discord among the people.

M. Firmin Rogier, the Belgian envoy to Paris, who, it was feared, would have retired into private life in consequence of the death of his wife, has just returned to his post here at the special request of King Leopold. The famous black doctor, who, after being ad mitted for two months to the charge of a ward in the cancer hospital, was, it will be remembered, sentenced to a long term of imprisonment for practising without& diploma, is now at large.
