HURT of Exerai, the patters Bishop of the High Church, has jest bees patting forward new claims to be 0011111idered as the modern THOMAS ♦ BECILITT, ready to insult Sovereign and pee* for the benefit of his order. We do not, bower, wish to do die oredit to thesasesory of Taoism ♦ BILCIMIT—that uncompromising Churchman, and possibly eeaeei eatiose martyr—by comparing Ma with that eon posed of pamphleteer, priest, and prelate, who at present presides over the see of Exeter. The only between the two is the fast of their contumacy. MICBILIT cOes so far as to aMim that Mouse ♦ BumsTr became a martyr in support of the rights of the Saxon commonalty. No one could ever indulge in such a flight of imagi nation as would bring before hie mind's eye Bishop Pim-nein as the personification of a sacrifice for popular rights. Bat most men might have imagined that our pugnacious Bishop would have shrank from insulting his Sovereign. Seth pusses may probably change their opinion when they read a speech delivered by the Bishop at a meeting of the Exeter Auxiliary of the Incorporated So cieties for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge and the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, held at Exeter on Thursday last. The Bishop there expresses his opinion on the withdrawal of the Queen's Letter. This Letter, as all frequenters of their parish church know, was formerly directed to all parish i•cumbents, bidding them exert their influence to induce their pariehloms to rabsoribe libe rally, in order to contribute to the exigencies of the great Church Societies. The Royal authority is this year withdrawn, for causes into which we need not enter. Now the Bishop, as well as any private clergyman, had the power of making a collection in his own church in favour of these societies, and it was perfectly competent to him, as a ruler of the Church, to recommend to the clergy of his diocese to bring forward the claims of the Church Societies to public patronage. This he did, but he was not content to do it without having a " fling" at his Sovereign. He urged the clergy earnestly to preach annul ser mons, "although they could no longer use the high name of the Crown, as formerly." You see what a wicked Crown it is; reverence, therefore, the holiness of the Mitre. However, there is some con solation for them. It may be very painful, he tells his bearers, to see that the support has been with drawn which the religion of this country has been in the habit of receiving frees " the temporal head of all in this country, both in Church and State." I mean, he adds, " not the bead of the Church alone, because the Qualm is no more the head of the Church than the State, nor in any other sense." We confess ourselves at a loss to understand the meaning of the latter portion of the paragraph, the wording of which may be incorrect, a matter which may be settled between the Bishop and his reporter. Bat the animus is evi deet. In any sense which is serious, or which inter feres with the presumed privileges of the Church, the Qum is not to be considered the heed of the Church. On this account Churchmen may go on as usual, and entertain nothing but esespassiosate feel ings for their Sovereign. "I am extremely sorry," Nays our loyal Prelate, " that the illustri ous Lady who has shown such distinguished regard for the interests of her country, should be so dream shooed with regard to her coutteels that she eseaot concede to us the position in which those who have gone before have platted us." If he had stopped hero, the Bishop might have been considered as expressing a are political opinion as to the moral dignity of the counsellors of the Crown and the value of their advice. He expresses his opinion rather coarsely it is tree. He insinuates that the Queen is a puppet la the hand. of her advisers; but inasmuch as in a constitutional country the =carob acts only by the advice of the Ministry, this might be peeved over. But in the next sentence of his speech he goes a little further than this. He tells his bearers that " the withdrawal of the approval of the Crown is an act which he thinks is the abandonment of a itra deity, and don not add to the dignity of the illnetrione Lady mho wears the aroma." Of course when the Bishop Nays that it does not add to the dignity of the Quwr, he means this as • rhetorical equivalent for the expression "it takes away from the dignity of the Qum." Io other words, the Bishop of Emu., in tolerably plain terms, insinuates that his Sove reign has disgraced herself. This is what the High Church has come to. This is the end of the uncom• promising loyalty which was supposed to be the exclusive property of this division of the Church. Because the Sovereign chooses to make • slight alteration in an unimportant regulation, she is told that " this does not add to her dignity." Now the Bishop in former times, when he grew fat and sleek in the grout' and pasture lands of that most de lightful of all rectories, Stanhope, was food of quoting Isaac &mow. Did be ever read a passage of the following kind in his favourite author t If not, be must have passed over in a poet-prandial slumber the reading of the treatise on the Supremacy. Bannow, in the following passage, speaks of the Emperor, but the expression involves of course all sovereign princes, or sovereign states : The power of canting sad dispeasiag with ecclesiastical laws touching exterior discipline did of old belong to the Emperor. Aad It wee reasonable that it should, because old laws might net couveniestly nit with the present state of things, and the public wells's; ►ecause sew laws might madam to the good of the church or state, the ears of which is incumbent on him; incense the prince is booed to on his power and authority to promote God's service, the best way of doing which any be by fruiting orders conducing thereto. Accordingly, the Emperor did said divers laws emweraieg ecclesiastical matters, which we see extant in the cedes of Thitodasina and Justinian. ISAAC &UMW then did thisk that the State, through its head, had a right to take meuures for the dis cipline of the Church. HINNY of Extern thought so when he was Rector of Stanhope, and a tuba lent pamphleteer opposing the Cathol i c claims, and worrying (;solos CANNING to the beet of his ability because the latter did not make use of the power of the State to coerce Catholics. And, in allusion to this circumstance, let say one who wishes to be able to forma correct judgment on the consistency of this most pugnacious of prelates read the letters he wrote to CIIOIOI CANNING on the speech of the latter in support of the bill of 1825, for removing Catholic disqualifications. It will be mei that all through the Bishop bases his argument igainat the Cat claims on the ground that, if granted, inscavenienos would arise to the ehtte. He seldom touches the theological part of the argument ; be rests it upon political grounds. The State, be mune throughout the whole some et his Nee easing, has a right to regard all religiose with a view to its own security. The State has its owl canonry to consult, and may sake regulations essosning churches as well as regarding other iistitudees: H. is sow changing hie ground. The withdrawal of the QUZIEIeII Letter is no interference with Church pro perty. It interferes with no privilege of the Church. Nevertheless, because it takes a little from the pres tige of the collection of subscriptions, the Minister who advised it is called a a miserable enemy " el the Church of England; and the Qtrzatt, by oneeatiog to it, is said to have committed an act which does not add to her dignity. gig Court.

LATEST • PROM ABROAD. TM Noelleer of this day contains the reports, dated September 11, of Marshal }Wager and General Niel, of the capture of Sebastopol, together with the Marshal's order of the day, announcing the fact to the army. The French Ambassador at Constantinople had offered the palace of embassy for the reception and treatment of the sick and wounded officers from Sebastopol. Count Benkendorff, Russian Blilitary Commissioner at the Court of Prussia, has gone to Odessa to attend the Csar. THE CRIMEA. MARSEILLES, 231 D, Eviumto. We learn from Constantinople that on the 9th a flag of trues had been hoisted on Fort Constantine; that a conference had taken place between Prince Gortchakoff and Captain Drummond, of the British navy, and that it had given rise to a report of pro positions for peaoe—a mistake which had been pro pagated by a great number of letters and papers. It had been prematurely announced that 90,000 French had made a movement on the Tchernaya, but General Larchey had caused it to be declared that no intelligence of the kind had been received. An official notice sets forth that no list of the killed and wounded had u yet reached Constan tinople. Twenty-seven Russian vessels had been sunk. The conflagration in Sebastopol still continued on Sun day evening. General Beeline has been appointed Governor of Sebastopol. The Journal de Constantinople says that the Aaglo- Turkish contingent will be carried to 50,000 men. Lord Stratford had presented several English officers to the Sultan. The same journal also says that Prince Clortchakoff had inquired of Marshal Pelissier whether, in case of the retreat of part of the Russian army, he would take charge of 16,000 Russian sick. The Marshal was said to have assented on condition that the enemy's surgeons and hospital attendants should continue at their posts, and that the Russians should destroy nothing before retiring. In a despatch, published in the Indepeadance Beige, dated Marseilles, Sept. 24, and sent off after the ar rival of the 01111101, it is remarked that the greatest uncertainty appeared to prevail with regard to the position assumed by the Russian army, and that the plans of the Allies remained equally secret, in spite of the many reports which had been in circulation. This appears a very judicious view of the matter. As regards reliable intelligence, the public are now, curiously enough, in much the same position that they were during the reign of the canards about this time last year. THE EXPRESS, TI7ESDAY EVENING; SEPTEMBER 25, 1855. A RUSSIAN VIEW OF THE FALL OF In an article in the Russian organ Le Nord, headed " Anglo-French Alliance after the Destruction of Sebastopol," it is observed :—" In the relative situ ation of the Allies themselves and of the Continental States, the destruction of Sebastopol by its heroic defenders is a very middling (tru-mediocre) triumph, and, es a moral check, is far less important than it would have been had it ooeurred at the outset of the war. Sebastopol was only a town fortified in haste during the siege itself; but events made it one of the bulwarks of the independence of Europe. It falls into ruins, but not without having proved in the meantime that the western coalition is not irre sistible, and that its seductions and its menaces ire perhaps more efficacious than its armies and its Elate." RUSSIA. The Emperor of Russia is accompanied in his southward journey by the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, his brothers, Constantine being left at St. Petersburg. Some of the German journals caution the public against drawing inferences from this journey, because, say they, it was resolved on before the Sebas topol news of the Bth was to hand. But this [is only tens of the Warsaw journey, postponed, if not aban doned. The departure for Odessa was a sudden act. ST. PETERSBURG, BUT. 16.

General Pantuttne having been appointed to the chief command of the army of the centre, with his head-quarters at Blew, the list of commanders of the different armies stands at present as follows : General Chruechtchew, Archangel; Voo Berg, Fin land; Rfidiser, St. Petersburg; Grabbe, Revel; Sievers, Mitten; Paskiewitcb, Poland; Panintine, Blew; Li ders (army of the south), Kitchentff; Gortehskoff, Crimea; Hhormutoff, Provinces of the Don ; Belnatoff, Caucasus ; and hfurawieff, Asia M. Letters from Bt. Petersburg of the 7th state that from all parts of the empire there arrive in the capital news of the complete formation of the troops of reserve, and of the departure of the first levy of the companies of National Militia, which are to meet at Blew. The reserves, it is asserted in official quarters, will number nearly 300,000 men. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, given in Le Nord, states that among the two thousand horses bought by the English officers for the army in the Crimea, a large number were lately belong',( to the Austrian ca valry, which underwent considerable reduction about three mouths ago, when the supernumerary animals were sold. These hones were to be embarked imme diately on board steamers, and to be conveyed from Path to Routschouk. Tin would afterwards be taken to Varna, and thence conveyed in transports to Balaklava.

The French ship Austerlitz, with the Sane and' three gun-boats in company, left this anchorage this morning, on their return to France. It is intended that they should all at Christiassound on their way, where a depot of coals has been established in ease any farther supply should be required. The °facers had, during their somewhat protracted stay, be come qaite domesticated here, especially with the numerous families from Leipsic, Hamburg, and other parts of Germany, who took up their abode during the sea bathing season, and their departure will create a blank in the evening assemblies, whets they were always welcome. The block ship portion of the English fleet is now anxiously looked for, although it is not improbable that the "second summer," with the beautiful weather which we now enjoy, may induce Admiral Dundee to detain them longer under his orders than he had originally intended. Should they soon arrive they may require to remain some time, as it is now understood that the coals which should have been ready are; not yet forth coming. Some colliers are, however, believed to be not very far off; so all may yet be in order. There is no later news from the fleet at Nargen than that which will have reached you by the usual mail through Dantaic, and all is said to have re mained without change since the departure of the previous steamer. A strict blockade of both Gulfs is still the order of the day. There is now no ship of war of any flag in this bay. (room °us owx NARGEN, Sm. lb. On the 13th inst. the Vulture returned to Seeker, where she left the Exmouth, Colossus, Orion, James Watt, Majestic, Imperious', Euryalus, and Bulldog. On her passage to Sulker, she lost her paymaster, Mr. G. B.Eales, who died of cholera, twelve hours after be had been taken ill, and was buried on the island of Seeker, on the morning of the 12tb. De serters are coming off daily to the vessels cruising off Sweaborg, and all give the same account about the damage done to Sweaborg. The winter is now fast setting in, and we true ere long the fleet will be making a move to the southward, the thermometer being so low as 64 deg., and the barometer 29.40. Sept. 16.—The Driver arrived this morning with the mails from Dantsie, and has brought the news of the glorious and successful attack on the south side of Sebastopol. Signal was made this afternoon for all the captain, to assemble at 4 p.m. to-morrow, on board the Duke of Wellington; what for is as yet a secret. The weather has wonderfully changed today, the glass high, with a north-east wind. Sept. 17.—The Cossack has just returned from her cruising ground. A few days since, Capt. Cockburn ran into Worms°, and anchored. He then landel on the island, taking with him two of his boat's crew, with their muskets. He had not got far when he saw a person on horseback riding down towards him, and he not knowing who his friend might be waited until he came up. The gentleman alighted from his horse, spoke in a most gentlemanly manner, and invited Captain Cockburn to his house. The invitation was accepted, and they both went on, the two men with arms following. When Capt. Cockburn arrived at the house, he was introduced to the afore- said gentleman's wife and an English goveroess, who had been there only sight months, and liking the good quarters he had fallen into, he took off his sword, sent it by the armed men down to the boat, l l and made himself quite at home, and he says nothing could exceed the kindness and hospitality he re- ceived, which, no doubt, will be an en-1 conragement to Captain Cockburn to make Wormso his rendezvous during the time, he is cruising off Hango. The Cornwallis leans this evening for England, taking the hospital dressers and invalids of the fleet. Sept. 18.—At 6 p.m., the Vulture left this anchor age for Dantsio with the mails, and, it is reported, will go home on her return, ea she is so much da maged from getting on shore. Her boilers are also very bad. The Admiral was to leave in the Duke of Wellington for Baku on the morning of the 19th. 1 THE HAWSE AT PERNAU. PERNAU, Sum 16. On the afternoon of the 11th inst. four English war steamers came in and anchored in the outer roadstead. One of them (the Archer, Capt. Heath cote) put out a boat and rowed into the harbour,) where a crowd of people were assembled at the pier head. In the boat were two officers, the inter preter, and nine sailors, all well armed. On their arrival Captain Heathoote demanded to see the bar pmaster, and put several questions to him ; for instsnoe—if there were troops in the town, whether any of the buildings were government property, &c.; and on receiving a reply in the negative, notified his in tention of landing the next day with Capt. Ommanney, senior officer of the squadron, to convince themselves of the truth of the statement. Just as they were on the point of rowing o 0 four Bashkir. belonging to the detachment which had just quitted the town, were seen galloping over the bridge. On Captain Heathcote's expressing his surprise at this, the burgomaster explained that the troops had all quitted, and these must have been left behind by chance. The following morninf ail zi English boat appeared again, again, this time with a of truce , but remained at the mouth of the river, m signs and waving the white flag. The commander of the pilots put off in hie boat to explain that they were not permitted to receive a flag of truce. The British officer told him he had a letter to deliver personally to the burgo. master, requiring him to come out in a boat with a flag oetruce and receive it, which the latter did. The letter was from Captain Ommanney, informing him that he had arrived off the town with a sufficient force to reduce it to a hap of ruins, but that he would ewe it on the following conditions :-1. The garrison to lay down their arms and surrender them selves ea prisoners of war. 2. All the property in Pitman belonging to government to be given up. 3. All the shipping in the river to be given up. The burgomaster, accompanied by some of the most respectable inhabitants, must come on board the Archer to talk over the affair; after which the com modore would come on shore to superintend the exe• cution; and lastly, that the slightest attempt at want of faith or a hostile attack would inevitably cause the destruction of the town. One single hoar was allowed to make up their minds. The Burgomaster Tilling, accompanied by the Councillor of Commerce, M. Schmidt, accordingly went off to the boat with the flag of truce, and thence to the Archer, where they had an interview with Captain Ommanney, who received them very politely, and took from them their written answer, that there were no troops in the place, that there was no pro perty belonging to the crown, and that the ships lay seven wrists (five miles) up the river, where, bow. ever, there were troops, and that if the English wanted the ships, they must go up themselves and take them. Lastly, they prayed the commodore to spare the town. The burgomaster succeeded in his endeavours, and Captain Ommanney let him go ashore in safety. The English squadron consisted of the Hawke, 60, Captain Ommanney; Archer, 16, Captain Heathcote ; Conflict, 8, Captain Chamberlain ; and Cruiser, 17, Captain Douglas.

The following despatch announces the arrival of the Simois, but does not say that the ship brings Marshal Pelimner's expected despatches : "Marseilles, Sept. 23. I " The Elimois briop Constantinople news of the 14th. A Ti Deum had been celebrated on the occasion of the taking of Sebastopol. Great enthusiasm pre , veiled. The Emperor Napoleon's expressions relative to ne — laud Pacha had made a great sensation" "According to letters from the Crimea, the northern fort and the Russian skips had opened a violent fire, on the Bth, against the positions conquered by the "The Presse d'Oriene reports that the Russians had destroyed the forts of the roads. They had blown up the central bastion, and the forts St. Paul and Nicholas. Fort Alexander and Fort Quarantine had been in part burnt. It was rumoured that the Russians were marching towards the Mackenzie heights. The brigade of elite of the Sardinian army had fought side by side with the English. Fifteen hundred Russian prisoners were taken in the Male khoff. There was a report that the Russian general Osten Sacken had committed suicide. It was confi dently asserted that the fleet would bombard Odessa, and that Marshal Pelissier would pass the Talisman to attack the Russians. "The French general, M. de La Mottexonge, was wounded." Of the above news it is to be remarked, that all that is new is very doubtful. The following telegraphic despatches have been received: " Vienna, Saturday. "Letters from Naples confirm the changes in the Neapolitan ministry. The Minister at War, Prince habitat's, is superseded by M. Picena, but be is still to receive his salary. General Winspeare has bees appointed Secretary of State; and M. Bianchini, director of police, in the place of M. Mazza. It is hoped that these changes will satisfy the Western Powers." The publishes a letter from its Vienna correspondent, from which it results that Austrian finances are in a much better state than people suppose, that all the rumours of the Emperor to oouncil having rejected Baron de Bruck's plans of financial reform are unfounded, that on the contrary they were approved of by his Majesty before he lett for Ischl at the beginning of the month, and that when a few minor details are settled they will be carried into execution. The correspondent proceeds to give a sketch of what these plans are, assertioF by way of preface, that they are not mere palliative*, bat go to the root of the evil. It appears that a prin cipal symptom of the disease in the Austrian snobs quer is what, in the simple but expressive language of a Chinese financier, would be called " the excessive oozing out of the Sycee." The bank stopped payment in 1848, and its paper has been at a discount ever aim. The discount, which at times was as much as 70 per cent., ruled at 26 per cent. on an average after Baron de Bruck's retirement from the ministry some time since, but since, his return to power it has been re duced to 10 per cent., and even lower. The new finance minister wishes to do away with it altogether, and the correspondent wisely argues that this result will necessarily be accomplished as soon as the bank shall be in a condition to resume money payments. It is said with equal acumen that to attain this grand object the amount of cash in the bank coffers must be augmented so as to respond to the requirements of the regular circulation. The government intend., it is said, to repay to the bank the remaining amount of the money owing to it by the state, by means of an " ingenion. combination, which deserves to be ex plained. Austria, reported to be so heavily bur dened, " has resources of which foreigners little think." The correspondentfindsit convenient to forget that these heavy burdens, now made so light of, were but a few days ago urged in the columns of the Constilutionnel as an unanswerable reason why Aus tria could not join the Western Powers in the war. However, he proceeds to say that at a moderate va luation, the state domains, mines, and railways are worth 1,600 millions of florins. It is proposed to amigo the domains to the bank as a security for the above-mentioned debt; but in order to avoid the evils of a too hasty throwing upon the market of a great quantity of real property, a mortgage bank will be created, with a capital of 100 millions of florins, the lobate. to be paid for in specie and not in paper. This, the Cbnstassiionnel says, is the bank of which the journals have talked so much without being able to indicate either its object or its mode of action. This bank will have the power to sell or mortgage the state domains in proportion as the National Bank of Vienna may have oc casion for cash. The sales will be made under the surveillance of the Finance Minister, so that the bank cannot sell more than sufficient to realise the amount of money owing to it. It is suggested that doubts have been entertained whether the interest of , 6 per cent. offered to the shareholders in the pee -1 posed mortgage bank will be a sufficient temptation I to attract capital, seeing that other investments—the Austro-French Company, for example—hold out greater temptation. And this, "perhaps," may be the reason why Baron de Bruck listened to a counter project submitted to him by M. Isaac Pereire, on the part of the Credit Mobilier Company, which " com bined conditions singularly well adapted to the financial state of Austria with a scheme for a much smaller amount of capital than that proposed by Baron de Bruck for his mortgage bank." The cor respondent then, without telling us which of the two schemes has been adopted, and leaving it, in fact, to be plainly inferred that both are still sub judice, jumps to the comfortable conclusion that at all events Austrian Bank paper will be no longer at a diaconut. He then gives some explanation., not sufficiently clear to be interesting, of the mode in which Bares do Bruck hopes in three years' time to make the re ceipts balance the expenditure ; and concludes with the remark that the Austrian national debt, 1,693 millions of florins, exceeding but very little the value of the state domains, mines, and railways, the finan cial situation of Austria is far from being dangerous. A great deal of business has been done at the little bourse on the boulevard. Credit Mobilier rose from 1,270 to 1,360, in consequence, it is said, of differences in the management, and between the company and the government, having been arranged. Toe Minister of Public Instruction has granted a week's extra holiday to all the public schools and colleges, in honour of the taking of Sebastopol. a This alludes to the alleged exponsion, " greet MID.' which was repudiated by the Jlowiteur.

The Baßesot correspondent of the Melepourne Harold, writing on the 14th, says: " From Information which has just come to hand, I fear that we are on the eve of onions disturbances in this district. I am not in possession of the facts of the case farther than that considerable ill-feeling has manifested itself between the Irish and other miners on the Amherst sad Daisy Hill gold field, and that by latest accounts the frig portion of the community there had had notictit' giro to them to leave that neighbourhood within 24 hours, at be driven off. Some disputes as to claims appear to be at the bottom of the affair. Be that as it may, several expose, have arrived here from Dsisy-hill, giving accounts which have excited the Irish population hers as well. The Ass trailers Know-Nothiogism is among the other signs of the times, and may yet command mare attention than is esp. posed. I am sorry to say that thq, Chinese are still perm eated here. During the coming in of a large number of these people a few days ago the dogs were set on them, and in one case a savage bulldog tore the clothes from off a Chinaman's back, and, as may be supposed, frightened the man considerably. Mr. Commissioner Mackenzie, when informed of the occurrence, very properly interfered, but tot late to SITS the man from being ill-used in the first place." The Melbourne Age of June 23 says : " On the whole, however, notwithstanding the alarming accounts we have received, we are not disposed to entertain serious apprehen sions from the movements at Mary borough. We have sufficient confidence in the diggers that their good sense— that is to say, their common sense—will not allow the quarrel to be carried the length of actual bloodshed. Our correspondeat concludes his letter yesterday by stating that all was quiet when he wrote, and we trait things will cos- Unto so. Ever se little reflection would adios to show the intelligent men of Maryborough the madness of permit ting this absurd busiest' to go any further. The mutual protection societies had undertaken to mediate between the contending patties, and we should hope they would be sue eseeful. The means of quelling the disturbance, namely, by observing strict neutrality and treating factious differ emcee with quiet scorn, are very easily applied, and could hardly fail of success. We shall sac: but if the ems tun out otherwies—if these disturbances swell up into a civil war—it will be the worst thing for the entire diggings com munity that mad possibly have happened." anus/a.m.—Letters from Jerusalem to the 3rd have arrived.
