Tim Bisbep of LONDON has delivered a tem perate, paieetaking, and well-intentiosed Charge, the principal fault of which is its excessive diffuseness. Many people will like to learn the Bishers views on Church Rates, and on the Confessional ; on the present means of the Esta blished nevelt in London to oope with the spiritual destitetisa by which it is surrounded; and as the necessity for its relying in the &tare rather on voluntary exertions than on State aid. These are really the principal matters in the Charge, which are likely to command • very great amount of public interest ; and it may be am well to give an outline of the Bishop's views upon these leading topics. Upon the question of Church Rates in the metro polis, the Bishop's views appear to be somewhat u follows. Without conceding that the levy of the rate is in the abstract unjost, he admits that it is practically so " inconvenient," so opposed to the opinions of the vast majority, that he in " quite ready for any good alteration that can "be suggested," and wishes this alteration to be made "in • spirit the most conciliatory " to those who are not members of our Church." Even should this" alteration go very far"—by which of course the Bishop means, though he does not may it—even should the rate be finally abolished, he has no apprehension for the consequences. " I should " feel no fear myself that the churches of this great " and wealthy metropolis would be allowed to fall " in ruins, or the seemly dignity of their services be " curtailed, because we were thrown more lure " servedly on the hr arty loyalty of that great man " of persons who love the time-honoured institutions " of our Church because they ha it has brought many " blessings on their own and their fathers' souls." "The days are gone by when the Church of England " can look to be propped up by the adventitious aid " of secular authority, if it be not true to itself." " If we, the clergy, are true to ourselves, the tem " pore! aid which the laity can give both privately " and by law in their national capacity, will not, I " feel confident, be refused us." This is the right spirit. The sentiments thus expressed can leave little doubt that the Bishop of LONDON is well con tent, as far as the limits of his own diocese are concerned, to leave the maintenanoe of Church fabrics to the voluntary efforts of churchmen. The reservation he makes with regard to poor and very remote parishes is only what was to be expected. It admits, of course, of a very easy answer: there can be no difficulty, with a body so wealthy as the Church of England, in raising a general ecclesiastical fond for the repair of churches in the few rural parishes which are unable or unwilling to pay for the cost of their repair, except under the compulsion of the law. Meanwhile, it is of excellent augury to Sod the Bishop of the Metropolitan diocese so boldly and wisely avowing the principle that the true strength of the Church is not temporal, and that her best hopes for the future rest not on State aid, but on voluntary effort. On the subject of the Confessional the Bishop is exceedingly verbose. No doubt he felt pain &Hy the responsibility of speaking on such a topic in such a place. He had not only to place on ✓ecord his own views, but he had to show that those views were not inconsistent with certain well-known hese el expression in the Anglican Liturgy. We den net attempt to follow him through the elaborate and evens. process ; we shall pa.s on at ones to the pores in which, with characteristic periphrasis, he penes so modified combessaatioa on the recently revived scandal of private Auricular Confession. We quote the following sentences textually from the Aare If say eiergymes se Maar-hes to Ids people se to Wed awes le aempese thee the mow sad asehersai way of • alauer's isemenelles with Owl is theimesh 'mimics to s whet, ✓ad by reedetog prissily uhe leads them to Mien (1 me the illistreeks I have basil em ployed by au aromas of the Ceadeekeel) that ea the Greek Church W erred by eesteeting preablag. end the Merck et Rose by set eissewesMp the leaky of the Ilartptwea so ear Clare►h 1r Wheels bum mach to Mom he me leadiag Me people weep habilually to priests aseiculse medissice —lf ha thus etin up the imagiamica of swims d ceeMiag 'Orbs es him moms to kWh se a me diator hetwela their souls sad OWL, Ned rhea dry sew la seek hie sid receives them with all the elaissele pespemilea which le so hkely widely to melee their hasp, era he which there Is se authority le the Chereit's Wee el muddy —eating Men tele the wry of hie ebemb, lesesirm Me der, yeltra as the wed restimmie s emedes tires le heed Were the Creek le address him es Irk ghats* Misr. whin • Weis( of queedene me le ere al and, weed, sal drink red feroeleg Ide pewee helm he were eh .

After all, the most valuable portions of the Bishop's Charge are thole in which he dwells upon the hest issue of enabling the Chareh of England is the metropolis to perform the functions of a Missionary Ctinrch. This is Ih. Tale's strong ground. He adequately apprehends, he deeply deplores, and he resolutely determines to grapple with, the vast spiritual destitution of our close-pent alleys and our teeming streets. He rejoices, not without reason, that the days are past when " tha church was in " danger of dying of her own dignityl * He enu merates, not without a just complaerency, the tier meal efforts that have of bate been makin Cto render the ministrations of the Chttreh more abild , aible to the metropolitan public. The special Mis sionary services that have been inaugurated in Isling ten , Clerkenwell,St. Panting, and elsewhere; the open air preachings on the steps of the Royal Exchange ; the great gatherings in Westminster Abbey—are all subjects of deserved congratulation. In a few days the vast Metropolitan Cathedral wilt be open to the same pion' uses. Two thousand five hundred seats are to be placed beneath its dome for the poorest of the people ; the most gifted preachers will find ample scope for their best powers in ministering to a vast congregation ; and the noblest of Pro testant Temples, so long degraded into a gloomy mausoleum of second-rate art, will become a grand arena of elevating devotion. In all this there is life and hope. • It is not, however, on these more showy and im posing ministrations that our Metropolitan mainly relies. In the humbler bat not lees useful efforts of the various Home Mission Societies he discerns one of the most indispensable agencies for battling with the ignorance and indifference of the million-peopled city. He is not without that wisdom which hes taught Rome how to utilise every enthusiasm, however fervent, and all-einoere spiritual effort, however un cultured sad homely. The influence wrought oa the human mind by the fervent and impassioned open-air premising' of the Methodists has not been lest as him. He has heard and marked the effect produced by the voice of the preacher echoing through a still summer's day ever the village common under the shadow of okt trees; and listened, not without emotion, to the echoes of those simple hymns pealing far along the mountain solitudes of Wales. He has meditated on the efficacy of these meow to touch the hearts of many who " never entered within the Church to join in its calm " devotion and listen to its measured teaching." He draws the wise conclusion that the Clergy of the Church in past time " have been unwise and greatly " to blame in neglecting obvious means which GOD " has placed within their reach for rousing the "better feelings of thoughtless souls, and enlisting " what was so often employed against the Church as "a osefol aid to her sound, practical, Gospel teach ' " bag." The whole of this portion of the Bishop of LONDON'S Charge is pregnant with comprehensive charity and sound good sense. His notion of the proper functions of the Church of England in the metropolis is eminently wise and true ; and it Leon all hands a matter of congratulation that so import ant a position is filled by a man who so correctly ap prehends its ditties and so energetically discharges them. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1858. THE LATE ROBERT OWEN. Robert Owen died on Wednesday, in the 89th year of his age, at Newtown, Wales, whither he had gone on a visit to his native place. Robert Owen must have been an extraor dinary child, judging by his own amusing account of himself as a teacher in a school from the age of seven. He was under-master at nine. He maintained himself as a shopman for a few years, being always treated with a considera tion and liberality which testify to there having been something impressive about him. Arkwright's machinery was then coming into use ; and at the age of 18, Robert Owen became a partner in a cotton-mill where forty men were employed. He was prosperous, and rose from one lucrative concern to another till he became the head of the New Lanark establishment, which included a farm of 160 acres, and supported 2,000 inhabitants. The ordinary notion of Robert Owen among those who had not examined his operations is, that be was that kind of " amiable enthu siast," who is always out at elbows, and making his friends so • but nothing could be further from the truth. He was a consummate man of bunions, never wrong in concrete matters, however curiously mistaken in his abstract views. He made many fortunes, and enabled others to make them; and if he had been selfish and worldly, might have died the wealthiest of cotton lords, or a prodigious landed proprietor. No one could go over any of his succes sive establishments, in Scotland, Americi, or Eng land, without being convinced, in the first place, of the economy of association, and, in the next, of Mr. Owen's remarkable ability in the ordination and conduct of the machinery of living. His arrange ments for the ineal . h of an aggregate multitude, for their comfortable feeding, clothing, leisure, and amusement ; the methods of cooking, warming, washing, lighting; the management of the mill and the farm, the school and the ball-room, everything requiring the exercise of the economic and administrative faculties, was of a rare quality of excellence under his hand. In ten years, while all the world was expecting his ruin from his new fangled schemes, he bought out his partners at New Lanark for 84,0001. His new partners and he realised in four years more than 160,0001. profit; and he bought them out for 114,0001. These are fasts which ought to be known. Those New Lanark mills were set up when Owen was a boy, in 1784, by Arkwright, in conjunction with the benevolent David Dale, of Glasgow, whose daughter Demme Robert Owen's. wife. How they were managed by Owen we have seen. In 1816 he found himself et liberty to try his own methods with his work-people ; and his social and educational sno etas was so striking that many of the great ones of the earth rains to him to learn his method. In spite of his liberalism emperors and kings and absolute statesmen went to Lanark, or invited Mr. Owen to their courts. In spite of his infidelity, I:relates and their clergy, and all manne r o f dissent ing leaders, inspected his schools. In spite of the horror of old bigots and new economists, territories were offered to him in various parts of the world on which to try his schemes on a large scale. Metternich invited him to a succession of interviews, and employed government clerks for many days in registering oon versations and copying documents; and there was lees absurdity than some people suppos e d i n M r . Owen's san gu i ne expectation that his "ne w s y s t em of society would soon be established in Austria. Though he did not see it, there was much in his method of organisation which might be turned to excellent purpose by an arbitrary government; and whenever the Prussian system of education, with its fine promisee, its sedulous administration, and its heartless and hopeless results, is brought under our notice, our remembrance travels back to New Lanark, with its dogmas, its discipline, the mild and beneficent solicitude which brooded over it, sad its dependence for genuine liberty and free in. the personal character of the adminis trator. The discipline in the two oases might be dilbrent, and the dogmas opposite; but the /dun denial system had strong resemblances. This ought to be easily mmesivable when it is remembered that Menorah& WM pupil of Owen's, and the Mexican government his patron, and Southey his eulogist. In 1828 ear 01111 cabinet sanctioned and furthered his going out te Mexico, to see about a district which was eared kiln there. 150 miles broad, includ img the golden California of our day. There isnot have been something in Mr. Owen's doings to came such incidents as these. The " amiable enthusiast" himself steadily believed that it was the love of humankind which was the bond between himself and all these potentates; but wise men saw, and the event has proved, that the temptation lay in the opportunity his mimes afforded far training men to a subservient 7 which he was very far from desiring. Robert Owen was the founder of Infant Schools. m an y h a d conceived the idea, but he was the first to join the conception and the act. Da Felisabseg bad instituted education in connexion with agricultural industry, but had not particularly contemplated infanta in his scheme. Others had in theirs : but it was not till Hooey Brougham had reported to his parliamentary 161 ether friends in London what was sottadly done New lanark, and they had consulted' with Mr. Owen, and borrowed his school master, that Brot4ham, Romilly, Ben. Smith, Zachary Maculae and Lard Lansdowne set up an infant school in Westminster. Tou t wa s in 1819, when Owen's school had been i n operation three years. As usual, in swat cues, the immediate benefit was obvious enough, before the at tendant mischiefs began to show ther.naelves. But his own special schemes failed—one end all ; and if he had lived two centuries, scheming at his own nimble rate, his enterprises would never have succeeded, because they were founded on an imperfect view of the human being for whory.. benefit he lived and would willingly have died. In 1824, he formed a group_of communities in America , having purchased the Harmony Estate, consisting of a village and 30,000 acres of land, from the Reppites, who were emigrating westwarde.. The community, including several thousand pervins, improved in mind,manners, and fortunes; but there was still the s om e thi ng wan t. big which was essential to permanence. Duke Ber nard of Saxe Weimar stayed there for • week or two, and, amidst all his respect and admiration for Mr. Owen, sa that it would not do; and in that ohm the experiment was not a long one. The so count given oy the Duke of Mr. Owen's expecta tions is so precisely true, at all periods of his life, that it may stand as a general description of the phibuithrqpiat's state of mind for seventy years : " He looks to nothing lees than to renovate the world, to extirpate all evil, to banish all punishments, to erects like rWitis and like wants, and to guard against all conflicts and hostilities." And so he went on to the end. At every moment, his " plans" were going to be tried in some country or other, which would bring over all other countries. Every body who treated him with respect and interest was his disciple; and those who openly opposed or quizzed him were regarded with a good-natured smile, and spoken of as people who had very good eyes, but who had accidentally got into a wood, whene they could not see their way for the trees. He was the same placid happy being into his old age, believing and expecting whatever he wished ; always gentlemanly and courteous in his manners; always on the most endearing terms with hie chil dren, who loved to make him, u they said, " the very happiest old man in the ; " world always a gentle bore in regard to his dogmas and ila expecta tions; always palpably right in his descriptions of human misery ; always thinking he had proved a thing when be had asserted it, in the force of his own conviction; and always realty meaning something more rational than he had actually expressed. It was said by way of mockery that " he might live in parallelograms, but he argued in circles;' but this Is rather too favourable a description of one who did not argue at all, nor know what argument meant. His mind never fairly met any other—though at the close of his life he h id a strange ides that it did, by means of spirit-rapping. He published sundry conversations held in that way with Benjamin i Franklin and other people; and n the very same breath in which he insisted on the reality of thane conversations, he insisted that the new found power Wee " all electricity." It must be needle's to add that whatever reception his doctrines and plans may deserve or meet with, his life and conduct were virtuous and benign. No censure attaches to him in his domestic relations, in his personal habits, or in his ordioary social dealings. He was a beloved and faithful husband and father, pure and simple in his way of life, and upright in his transactions. There was therefore no solid ground for the horror expressed by the Quarterly Reriiiw, in the name of its constituents, when they heard of Robert Owen from a new place. When they were expecting, as they declared, to hear of his being in Bedlam, they heard of his being at court, introduced to the young Queen by her Prime Minis ter' Lord Melbourne. Many have been introduced there who were quite aa wide of the mark in speculation, and quite as complacent in their mis takes; while there can hardly have been many so self-governed, so tree to their convictions, sad so thoroughly superior to the world, so impartial s. disinterested, and so devoted to the welfare of the people, individually and collectively. As long as the name of Robert Owen continues to be heard of there will be some to laugh at it, but there will be more to love and cherish it. The probability seems to be that time will make his prodigious errors more pal pable and unquestionable, but that it will at least in equal proportion exalt Lis name and fame, on so• count of some great intuitive truths which are at prevent about equally involved with his wildest mistakes and his noblest virtues. Major Melchior, of the Imperial French Artillery, who was charged with the preseatetion of the IMb. howitser L'Alliance to the Queen, at Windsor, yesterday visited the military establishment. at Woolwich. The meter was so compenied by Major Andrew., who has recently been honoured by the Emperor with the distinction of the ribald and mom of the Legion el Hower. The major'. appearance on the ground attracted considerable atteatlos, not only from the circumstance of his being the envoy of oar 'mast ally, but also from the evident loot of hie having borne an ample share in the hardships and dangers of the Crime,, having soared the lam of his right arm at the memorable siege of the Malakoff. A letter from Rome, of the 10th says :—" In the memory of the oldest Roman such weather ham not beat seen here in November ea for the last 10 days has afflicted us. We have had rain, hall, snow, and frost. In many year so severe • temperature is not experienced in the depth of winter mm we have had In this first third of November.

' Letters and papers from Bombay, dated Oct. 23, have come to hand. The Bombay Standard says :—" There are still some 150,000 salmis scattered over the country, chiefly in Owde, in arms against us, but they are utterly purposeless and disorganised, and it is most difficult to get them to fight at all ; when they are brought to stand they scamper on the first fire, though ten or twenty times as strong as the assailing force. Betwixt the 18th of September and the 18th of October above 5,000 are computed to have fallen in the field, and close on 80,000 must have perished sines the commencement of the mutinies. Eminently suooreafal actions were fought near Luck now on the 23rd September, and again on the 4th, 6th, and Bth of October, in which some 4,000 must have fallen. " General Sir T. Seaton has had a suceessful little affair with the enemy in Rohilcund, and the Mhow Field force, tinder General Michel and Colonel Lockhart, have twice defeated Tends Tope* with the lon of thirteen guns, supposed to be the whole he Want of cavalry alone has prevented us troying this formidable mass of insurgents, still believed to be some 14,000 strong. The diffl calty is being remedied, and valuable auxiliaries are on the way, in the shape of a party of Southern Mahratta Horse. Despite all our calamities, the country continues to enjoy an extraordinary degree of commercial prosperity—trade increasing in amount and improving in profitableness at a rate almost in credible. What is now wanted is the extension of means of communication, and the enecursgement of European enterprise and capital in the interior, when the resources of India may be doubled in a year. "Great preparations are making for illuminations and other displays on the promulgation of the royal proclamation expected some fortnight hence, inti mating that the sovereign has assumed the reign of authority. " The King of Delhi and family have leR the North• West Provinces for Calcutta, to await farther orders, hie feeble health and declining years ren dering it probable that he may never leave the shores of India. " We have had several heavy falls of rain in the course of the past fortnight, a thing very unusual at this season of the year. The weather ainoe then has suddenly become dry and cold. The comet, which has now been visible for a month, is fast passing beyond the reach of observation. The Governor- General and Commander-in-Chief continue at Alla habad ; Lord Harris is on the Neilgherries. Sir Patrick Grant, commander-in-chief at Madras, is expected at Bombay, on a tour of inspection of the Madras troops in Central India. Lord Elphinstone is at Matheran ; Sir Henry Somerset on a tour of inspection in the Southern Mahratta Country. Trade is brisk, but freights lower." The following intelligence had been received by telegraph from Sir R. Hamilton, dated Indore, October 21 : " Captain Pitickey visited Tehree from Colonel Liddell's camp at Nimore on the 17th. Colonel Liddell's move had headed Tantia Topee, and had forced him back upon Tel Behut. The rebels were going to re-cross the Betwah at Seris Ghent. Colonel Liddell was moving on Tel Bebut. Lieut. Kerr, with detachment of Southern Mahratta Horse, had passed at Asseerghnr, and was moving on Huingabad Bhileah. Major Learmonth's de tachment had arrived at Mhow in excellent condi tion, and had gone on, leaving no sick behind." From Camp 19th October, via Indore, 24th October, 9-40 A.M. From Major General Michel, to Bombay. To Lord Elphinstone and Commander-in• Chief : " The . Mhow and Cavalry columns under my command surprised the rebel army, about ten thousand strong, this day at Scindwab. They were utterly defeated with the loss of all their guns, four in number, and four or five hundred killed ; a great number of sepoys being among the number. They were bound for the East via Murrooree. The fugitives are now bound to the North via Banpor, and perhaps to Tal Behat. They fought fairly ; my loss is trifling ; no officers killed." The following memorandum has been issued in Oude : The Chief Commissioner desires to call the particular atten tion of all ccenraissioners and civil allows to the following remarks. Military operations in Cade may shortly be ex pected to commence on an extensive scale. The services of every armed servant of the government will be required to aid In the speedy suppression of the rebellion and malnte ■anee of order. Probably several influential zemindare will is like manner aid with their contingent forces. In order that the local government may render the services of all aforementioned redly efficient in co-operating with the regular army, it is absolutely neceseary that the parties should while the campaign lasts, be under no divided authority. The Chief Commissioner therefore directs that civil officer, will not call on any truly who may be nominated to perform a pert hewers, small in the genersl military operations of the campaign, to act in any way, or move from one position to another, except by the desire or with the con currence of the senior military authority in his district. With reference to the Military Police, the Chief Commis sioner deems it necessary to direct that civil allows do not Woe any orders to snob of the police as may be serving in their districts, unless the police have been modally *cad under their orders fur district dation.

It wu ex pected to arrive by the mad due in Calcutta on the 13th of Oct. On the day of its promulgation there will be illuminations, &0., in the presidency towns. The authorities of Bombay are doing their utmost to ware a grand display on the occasion. CASUALTIES. Hu MA, r.err's Foices.—Colonel C. A. F.

The following is the proclamation issued by Prs. aident Buchanan in regard to the new fillibustering schemes : Wheresa, information has reached me, from sources which I cannot disregard, that certain persons, in violation of the neutrality laws of the United States, are taking a third attempt to set on foot a military expedition within their ter. ritory against Nicaragua, a foreign state with which thee are at peace , in order to raise money for equippi ng maintaining this expedition, persons connected therewith, r e I have reason to believe, have issued and sold bonds ea other contracts, pledging the public lands of Nkomo% and the transit route through its territory ea security for their redemption and fulfilment : the hostile design of this expedition is tendered ear attest by the fat that there bonds and contracts ea be of no passible value to their holders unless the present 'oven. meat of Nicaragua shall be overthrown ; besides, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of that gnu s . meat in the United States has honed ano ice, in pursues of his Instructions, dated the 27th inst., forbidding the citizens or subjects of any nation, except weavee Ix. tending to proceed through Nicaragua over the husk route from ocean to ocean, to enter its territory withal a regular passport, signed by the proper mi n a* or consul-Ireland of the Republic resident in the country from whew they shall have departed; such p n sorts, with this exception, will be stopped sad com palled to return by the same conveyance that took them to the country—from these circumstances the infernos is irresistible that persona engaged in this expedition will ; leas the United Stales with hostile purposes against Nis. neva. They cannot, under the guise which they have seamed, that they are peaceful emigrants, conceal their real intimations, and especially when they know, in advance, that their landing will be resisted, and can only be scoomplbleld by en overpowering forte. This expedient was suotanfelly resorted to previous to the last expedition, and the wall le which those composing It were conveyed to N' eo. tidned a clearance from the collector of the port at Although, after a careful examination, no arms or mushier of war were discovered on board, yet when they arrived is Nicaragua they were found to be armed and equipped, sati Immediately commenced hostilities. The leaders of the former illegal expeditions of the sane character have openly expressed their intention to nee hostilities against Nicaragua. One of them who has airs* been twice expelled from Nicaragua has invited, through the public newspapers, American citizens to emigrate to that republic, and has designated Mobile as the place of res. dezvoos end departure, and Ban Juan del Norte as the pat to which they are bound. This person, who has mama his allegiance to the United States, and claims to be Presi dent of Nicaragua, has given notice to the collector of the port of Mobile that two or three hundred of those emigrate will be prepared to embark from that port about the middle of November. For these and other good reasons, and fer the purpose of saving American citizens who may have been hardy deluded into the belief that they are abed to proceed to Nicaragua se peaceful emigrant% if any sod there be, from the disastrous consequences to which tOn will be exposed, I, Jana Buchanan, President of the tithe States, have thought It fit to thine this my . proclamation enjoining upon all othoers of the government, civil and mili tary. in their respective spheres, to be vigilant, active, sad faithful in suppressing these illegal entertain, and in earn ing out their standing Instructions to that effect, and exhort- ing all good citizen@ by their respect for the laws, sad the =for the peace and welfare of the country, to aidthe of the publlo authorities in the discharge of the duties.
