On Tuesday evening, at the rooms et Mr. John Chap man, 142, Strand, a number of gent:lolnm authors, pub liihers, and bimksellers, Met, convened by circular, " . to agree upon such an eipression of opinion" on the ques tion of the dispute in the booksOing business " as may hasten the removal of the present trade restrictions, on the commerce of literature." The circular further in timated that the expedieney of Abe advocates ot a free trade in books Seeking. an interview with Lord Campbell, Mr. Grote, and Dr. !Allman,' "the arbitrators" selected by the opposing parties, would be submitted to con sideration. . Mr. CHARLES DICKENS (who, was called upon to act as chairman, and who was, very warmly received), paid that on being requested to, take the chair, he had in the first instance declined, on the ground 'that they had met to discuss what was a bookseller's question, and not an author's til:d But consideration suggested that ho might on that very account be better qualified to act as chairman, as being necessarily impartial in a contention betwcen different elaises of booksellers and publishers. He was,z on principle, most strongly opposed to any tern, in any commercial direction, - .of exclusion or restriction. - He held that every man, whatever his call ing, must be felt' to the fair and free exercise of,hie.own iseseatethriftseta4-enterniEse. Iroltrig 'that opinion, he was there tonight to make a protest against a nerd cuter system of restriction;_ and he trusted 'that a. satis factory result would be obtained,—(Cheers.) . Letters were read - excusing the absence of the writers, and expressing approval in the purposes of the meeting, from Mr. Cobden, Mr., Thos. Carlyle, Mr. John Stuart Mill, Professor De Morgan, Mr. Henry Cole, Mr. James Wilson, Mr. W. J. Fox, Mr. George Combe, Mr. J. M'Culloch (of the Stationery-office), Mr. W. E. Glad stone, Mr. Robert Chambers, Mr. Leigh Flunte Mr. Wm. Weir, Mr. WO3. Hewitt', Mr. Robert Hunt, Mr. A. B. Reach, and other gentlemen. The letter from Mr. Car lyle, as highly characteristic, we append:— " Chelsea, &lay 3, 1852—Sir,—Unluckily I shall not be able to attend your meeting on Tuesday evening, but I can. have no hesitation in testifying my concurrence with the object of it, which I understand, in brief; to be free-trade in books, or the first step in a course leading straight towards that. Free trade in re spect of books, and, indeed, of most other ob jects, is by no means the ultimatum one aspires to, or the perfect condition that will satisfy the world's want in the matter; ve: y far from that in many cases; and in the case of literature, farther than in any . other whatsoever. lint surely in all cases, and in that of literature too, free trade is better than trade unjustly crippled by monopolies which are merely blind and greedy; in present circum:- stances, free trade were a clear improvement; and more over, in the critical disposition -of the world, it is a first stage through which all faulty things must pass, and only beyond and after trial of which can any progress thaVvvill prove true and lasting be looked for. For the rest, I fear there are few branches of human industry, and most clearly literature is not one of them—in which the shopkeeper spirit (so we may call it for the sake of definition) will suffice to regulate production and distribution 'according to the world's real want and interest: in regard to very ma ny there is perpetually needed a generous merchant spirit (which it may be feared free-trade and active competition will not much tend to develop among us) —and in regard to some, there is needed a spirit higher than any kind of merchandise, and not looking to profit and loss for advice at all. Now certainly, beyond all Other objects, li- terature in its higher forms belongs to the latter class'; to these two latter classes it belon gs i n a ll f orms o f have nay looking only value to m an ki n d for the mere to . the visible vicinity, an d sharpened into ever greater e agerness f or imme diate returns, is smitten- with eter na l i ncom p e t ence in s it ho th pk a e t ep even the finance of literature, and can do no good what ever there that would not otherwise be done, and does immensities of mischief there which perhaps might otherwise remain undone. • " All this is true even of 'the finance of literature:— and, alas: literature has many elements besides the finan cial, and far more important to it than the financial; in regard to all of which it would so gladly cease to be anarchic, and become well ordered, and well governed, if it only could. Truly, to consider how society at pre sent stands related to literature may well fill the think lug man with astonishment, with anxiety, almost with terror. The duties of society towards literature in those new coalitions of the world are becoming great, vital, inexpressibly intricate, little capable of. being done or understood at present, but alt-important to be un derstood and done, if society will continue to exist with it, and it along with society. From the highest business of spiritual culture and the most sacred interests of men, down to the lowest economic and ephemeral concerns where " free press" rules supreme, society may sea itself, with all its sove reignties and parliaments, depend in g on th e thing it calls literature, and bound, under incalculable penalties, to very many duties in regard to thatl—of which duties, I per ceive, finance alone, and fr ee trade alone, will by no means be found to be the same. But such considerations lie far beyond our present business, and must not be more than alluded to here. • " What alone concerns us here is to remark that the present system of book publishing discharges none of these duties, less and less mnkes oven the appearance of discharging them; • and indeed as I believe is, by the nature of the case, incapable of ever in any perceptible degree discharging any of them in the times that now are. A century ago there was in the , book selling guild=if never any royalty of.spirit, as how could such be looked for there?—yet a spirit .of solid merchanthood, which had its value in regard to the prosaic facts of literature, ,and is ever to be thankfully remembered there. Of this solid merchant spirit, if we take the victualling and furnishing of such an enterprise as Samuel Johnson's English Dictionary for its English feat (as perhaps we justly may), and many a " moires," Encyclopedia 13 r itannica," &c., in this coun try and in others for its lower, we must gratefully admit the real usefulness, respectability, and, merit to the world. But in later times, owing to many causes which have been active, not on the book guild alone, such spirit has long been diminishing, end has now es good as disappeared, without hope of re suscitation in that quarter. The spirit of the book trade, it is mournfully evident, is that of modern trade generally, no better and no worse a hand to-mouth spirit, incapable of ever again paying for even a Johnson's Dictionary; not what I can call a merchant spirit, but (on the great or on the small scale) a shop keeper 'one. Such is the melanchoiy fact, so far as my experience and observation have taught me to form an opinion. If my vote is inquired of in the matter, I grieve to say, and am not con scious of either anger or of favour in saying, it is authentically this which leads me—and, indeed, has long since led me—to infer that the publishing guild, taking large wages for doing indispensable work, and quite omitting to do it, is in no sate or lasting position before the public, and will prove 'incapable of standing, unless it Can escape being inquired into. If the public itself (as I by no means believe, or ever believed) is adequate, by froa trade or otherwise, to remunerate literature, the, public 'ought to . have at least a chance of trying to do it. The present system, by which above one-half of the selling price of a book (` from 55 to 65 per, cent., including advertisements)' is paid over to a min or set of men, not' who write it or print it, or bind it, or make paper for it, but who show it across the counter and draw in the money, remained, to all who look at it in this point of view, one of the most aatonish• ing ever seen in human commerce, and seems to me, in these days, destined to speedy abrogation when once the public has got eye on it. " My own interest in the business, I confess, is not of a lively nature; nor are my hopes for the world, from such a revolution, what they once might have been; but such is, and has long been, my view of the case now come in hand. No duty being done, to litera ture but a shopkeeping one, let us have at least the eligible kind of shopkeeping—your 55 per cent. reduced gradually (as we find it in America just now) to 15 or to 10, with books about half the price they now bear, and with 20 times, or 40 times, as many readers to them as new—after that, we shall see. " In haste; I remain, sir, yours very truly, (Signed) " T. CARLYLE. " John Chapman, Esq., Publisher, 142, Strand." Mr. JOHN CHAPMAN then rose to make a statement explanatory of the circumstances which had led to the meeting, and descriptive of the position of the contro versy. He, in the . first place, entered into the reasons which had induced him to decline an informal in vitation to be present at the deputation of the Book sellers' Asaociation to Lord Campbell.

You may elepend upon it, that from the proposed arrangement nothing unpleasant to, any of the parties can occur. "I remain, your obedient servant, "John Chapman, Esq." " CAMPBELL. Lord Campbell fully understanding that while his opinion would be respected, his arbitration was not to be accepted as final or decisive. The s t atemen t. of Mr. Chapman was, in effect, a reproduction of the documents and arguments with which the public is already familiar. It was listened to throughout with great interest. Mr. BABBAGE moved the first rnelotio nt Tbe prin ciples of free Article having zioergeedt omm o bi l d ~by „ cit e , tiortence as well as by argument, it is the opinion of this meeting that they ought to be applied to books as to all other articles of commerce." The principles enunciated in this resolution he had held all his life, applying them to the commerce of literature as to every other trade. He was convinced that the Booksellers' .Association greatly misapprehended both their rights and their in terests; and, though there might in some quarters be some temporary mischief, as the consequence of abolish ing artificial regulations and consenting to a natural and vrholeiale trade, he was satisfied in the end general bene fit even to the retail booksellers themselves would be the result. He did not see why the arrangement for a more natural state of things could not be made gradually and quietly. This was a matter in which there need be no violent hurry. Free trade in this, as in every depart ment was inevitable; and it was folly to attempt the maintenance of any artificial regulation of the price of such a commodity as a book. Mr. ROBERT BELL seconded the resolution. He re earded this indirectly as an author's question, the sale of an author's book, and being dependent upon the price of the book. Ile had some doubts if the expression "free trade" was discreetly used in the resolution. The phrase might leave some wrong quasi -political impres sions, and might deter the alliance of some f r i en d s; and, further" than that, he questioned if competition, pro perly considered as competition in the ordinary commer cial sense, would be regarded as applying to the book trade. For instance, he could not see how Mr. Ma caulay's " History," or any similar distinctly eminent book, could be regarded as being exposed to competi tion. Ia the main principle implied in the resolution he entirely agreed. The retailer became absolute proprietor of the copy which he purchased; and it was obviously his right to sell that property at whatever price be pleased. Perhaps there might be unfair underselling, if all restrictions were removed; and this was to be avoided by the publisher diminishing the margin of allowance between the advertised and the trade price. ll of Mr. T. SAUNDERs (bookseller,Classing-cross), ad dressed the meeting. The gist of his observations was, that the Booksellers' Association was proceeding upon the fairest, principles of trade, and that the restrictions which were kept up were necessary for the protection of the dealer. " Free trade" had nothing to do with the question. He was a free-trader; but he denied that this question of the regulations of a trade could be set tled with reference to the axioms of free trade. Free trade applied to the taxes on books, and to the import of books, but not to the terms on which a body of re tailers should conduct their business. Mr. Saunders was supporting the proposition that the meeti ng w a s unwarrantably attempting to interfere with the profits of the retail bookselle r s, w h e n several gentlemen inter rupted• him, denying that this was the question, and The CHAIRMAN Saunders that his suggested to Mr. - remarks did not apply to the affirmations of the reso lution.--(Cheera) Mr. SAUNDERS would then consent to speak simply to the precise terms of the resolutions. He continued, however, in the same strain, and became involved in a dispute with Mr. Bentley as to the former discounts al lowed to the trade. Mr. NOVELLO replied a t l eng th to r igr. Sau nders. Mr. G. Wilaos took the same view as Mr. Saunders, and altogether denied the right of such a meeting to meddle in trade arrangements. Mr. SoTnEltoN followed on the same side; and an angry discussion arose as to the precise points at issue. [An amendment directly opposed to the resolution was proposed by Messrs. Willis and Sotheron, and afterwards withdrawn; and a supplementary discussion was then provoked es to the right of Messrs. Saunders, Willis, and Sotheron being present. Mr. Chapman said the meeting had been convened for a specific object, gentlemen hold ing a particular set of opinions only oa, the question hav ing been invited; and he explained that on handing one of the circulars to Mr. Saunders, he had taken for granted that that gentleman would not offer to take part in the proceedings. He was surprised, therefore, that Mr. Saunders and his friends Should have not only spoken, but moved an amendment. Hereupon, Messrs. Saunders, Willis, and Sotheron, offered to withdraw; but Mr. Chap' man begged that they Would not do so; and the chair man, with the evident approbation of the meeting ex pressed his determination, dissentients being present, to hoar all they had to say, and fairly y to put whatever pro positions they might think fit to make.] The resolution, after some further conversation, Was carried, three hands only being held up against it. Mr. CARLES KNIGUT proposed, and Mr. Tom TAX- Lon seconded, the next resolution:—" That the princi ples of the. Booksellers' Association are not only op posed to those of free trade, but are extremely tyranni cal and vexatious in their application, and result in keeping the prices of books much higher than they would otherwise be, thus restricting their 'Blle, to the great injury-of authors, the public, and of all connected with literature. Air. BUSH (of the firm of Bickers and Bush) spoke to the resolution. In his opinion, the association which came to him to dictate the terms on which he should deal with his customers might be properly handed over to the police.—(Laught er .) - The resolution was carried unanimously, the three dhe sentients thi r d resoi easing, uti to offer furth er opposit i on . The on, which was carried, was proposed by Professor NawataN, and seconded by Professor ANSTED:—" This meetin g consid ers t h e peculiarity of the book trade—viz., that the publii•her fixes and adver tises the retail price of his publications —no valid argu ment for the maintenance of the present restrictive sys tem, and that the less the offi ce of the il sale is centralised in the publisher, and promoting the more it reta de volves on the local bookseller, t he bettor for the com merce of literature." Professor Ovum proposed the next resolution— " That the trade restrictions, failing as they do with severity upon books of a limited peculiar comparative y circulation, greatly retard the spread of the Meer branches of science and philosophy by rendering it un profitable, profitable, ~,indeed, dangerous, to publish worksde voted to them. He illustrated the argument of the re solution by referring to his own experience as an author of books on scientific subjects, The difficulty of get dog such books published had led to combinations of scientific men, who bad turned amateur publishers, and 4 . 0 who made the publications pay by fie g 1 natural instead of artificial prices on them. The publiehing system was obviously a rotten one, or it would not drive scientific authors to these resources.

CHRONICLE.—Tee hang-standirg controversy re specting the Metropolitan Water Supply seems at last to be practically settled. Tao few remaining defenders of the Board of Health may perhaps attempt to re-open the discussion in the House; but there will be little disposi tion on the part either of the Government or of Parlia ment to overrule the Conclusions at which the Select Committee have arrived at the close of its laborious in vestigation. The present. Bill, as amended, coincides in almost all respects with the arrangements which we have repeatedly recommended as just and practicable. The supply of water to London is still to be confided to pri vate enterprise, bat the companies are subjected to va rious important restraints and conditions for the protec tion of the public. The important question of rates remains unsettled, in consequence of the judicious determination of the Committee to deal separately with the case of every district in the metropolis. The fair price of water, as of any other commodity, depends on its cost, and therefore varies greatly according to local circumstances. Some of the companies are, up teethe present time, under no legal restriction as regards their scale of chargee,while others, having recently had occasion to solicit new Parliamentary powers, aro subjected to the provisions of the Waterworks Clauses Act. By the pending Bills a maximum rate will be 'fixed for every water district in London.; and the Committee will no doubt take care to provide for future reductions by im posing at the same tithe a limit on the diridends, ac cording to ordinary modern practice. The progress of building in the outskirts of London, and the probable in troduction of a water supply into the poorer tenements, may in a few years afford the means, not only of enrich ing the stockholders, but of greatly Telieving the present consumers. The history of the recent struggle affords a striking proof of the utility of a judicial inquiry in dis pelling prejudice, and of the necessity of maintaining the existing securitjes for the protection of property. Only `two or thre'e years heti() elapsed since the Board of Health took advantage of a popular clamour, founded on their own frivolous and garbled statistics, to recom mend that all the existing water resources of London should be at once arbitrarily abandoned. The Thames and the streams of Hertfordshire were suddenly disco vered to be unfit for human consumption; and the Board determined to bring supplies exclusively from the Surrey hills, where no water had previously been known to exist. It seems strange that any Govern ment could so far countenance suph quackery as to make that project an excuse for impeding all the schemes which were actually proposed, either by the present companies or by rival capitalists, for extending or im proving the watersupply. At last, however, the Board attracted the attention of the Administration by a new and still more daring eccentricity. An ingenious gen tleman was sent into Surrey to collect evidence in fa boar of the official " gathering -grounds;" and he came back with a new-fangled project of his own, founded on a supposed discovery of various springs and streams which his employers had never heard of. The latter coolly adopted the substituted plan; and they once more claimed a monopoly for their new device, at the expense of all the establishments which had, up to that period, supplied London with water. Their last vagary had the fortunate effect of enlightening Sir George Grey as to the true character of his subordinate advisers. A scien tific commission was appointed, which afterwards con tradicted in detail almost all the propositions respecting the quality of our supplies which bad been long and in dustriously circulated in blue books at the public ex pense; and a Bill—which, however, was wholly untena ble in itself—was submitted to a Committee of the House of Commons, which has been virtually reappointed in the present session. The measure of 1851 was framed by Sir William Clay, under the influence probably of a temporary alarm. It was understood that he afterwards abandoned his own proposals, and the Government which endorsed them never affected to give them any hearty or sincere support. It was provided by that abortive scheme that all the companies should be amalgamated, but no principle was laid down for the valuation of the stock on which the dividends limited by the Bill were to be calculated. A power of a most ano malous kind was given to the Secretary of State, en abling him to direct the Water Company at any time to resort to any new source of supply. It was evident that this provision was the result of a remnant of the perni cious influence formerly possessed by the Board: of Health. It was perhaps not intended that so extraor dinary a discretion should ever be exercised ; but the clause would have enabled any obstinate or capricious Minister to rain the Water Company at a moment's notice, and perhaps at the same time to leave London dry. It would have been almost as reasonable to give the Secretary of :State power to order the di version of the Great Western Railway into any line which he might deem preferable to its actual course. In the present year, the same obnoxious provision was retained, although Lord Seymour bad the good sense to abandon the proposed compulsory amalgama tion. When the Bill was first introduced, we explained the objections which attached to its details, stating our grounds for believing that a Committee would probably be able to convert it into a working measure. The Board of Trade, instead of the Secretary of State, is now to be invested with a certain power of inspection and control over the ordinary working of each company, and over the adoption of new sources of supply. All the existing establishments are to be compelled to filter their water—a process hitherto employed only by three or four companies. Covered reservoirs and water-courses are to be introduced within those limits to which the smoke of Lonclob may bo considered to extend its dete riorating influence. The system of constant supply is to become universal within a period of five years. The rates, as we have already stated, are to be regulated ac cording to circumstances, under the provisions of spe cial Acts; and consequently the most material detail of the new arrangement still remains to be settled. One of themost important provisions adopted by the Committee limits the supply to the waters of the Thames or of its tributaries, taken above the range of the tide, But a large portion of the population of London has no interest in the new regulation. The New River and the East London Companies supply more than half the metropolis from the New River and from the Lea, above the tidal flow. Greenwich and Woolwich, with the adjoining suburbs, depend on the Ravens bourne; and the Lambeth Company has recently opened its noble works at Ditton, some distance above Tedding ton Lock. The Grand Junction and the West Middle sex Companies will have to retreat from Kew to a point somewhat higher up the river; and the Chelsea and Southwark and liauxhaSl works must be removed from their present questionable position in Chelsea Reach. When these changes shall have been effected, any fu ture addition to the water supply—should it ever be required—will probably be drawn from the chalk to the north of London. There is, however, no objection to any contribution which may hereafter be squeezed out of the arid sands of Farnham. In a conversation which arose some weeks since on this subject in the House of Commons, Lord Hbrington attempted to introduce the general saoitary question—expressing, at the same time, an apprehension that the lower districts south of the river might be swamped by au excessive flew of water. It is desirable, that Parliament should remeinbsr that there are two independent objects to be considered in dealing with this matter. - The present Bill purports to provide pur chasers with an unlimited supply of water, of the best quality and at the cheapest rate which circumstances may permit. The question of providing a universal dis tribution of the supply is an entirely indifferent one. At this moment the companies would willingly furnish the poorest lodging-house in London with all the water which it could use. If the price forms the impediment, it may be' hoptcl that the present measure will lead to a reduction in the rates; but the fact is that the poor will not .pay for a comfort which, beyond a certain limit, they haio. not yet learned to regard es - a necessary of life. It is for Parliament to decide whether a compulsory water-rate shall be levied on the owners of houses in habited by the poor. In consideration of such an arrange ment, the companies might fairly be required to submit to a reduction of their ordinary rates. There are many grounds on which Parliament, on behalf of the public, is entitled to interfere for the purpose of supply ing every dwelling with water. A man has a right to be uncomfortable himself, and perhaps to impose annoy ances on' tenants who may be willing to comply terms; but no one has a right to increase the risks with his nf fire, or to create a certainty of fever. The advhcatcs of a smeltery improvement will do well to directniversal portion of their energies towards securing a supply already a of water; and their efforts will certainly . o impeded by - the circumstance that there the most main, fully charged, within a short distance of is there, not be wretched lodging-house in London.

The case. nominally " Hodgson v. Glad stone," in the Arches' Court. claims a far more startling title throughout Protestant Europe, for it is th. Pope v, Christianity ; and should the plot succeed in England, Ur- blood-red flag and the fiery cross will be sent through all lands in which the Word of God is revered as the only rule of f a ith, an d the only hope of the Christian. This case i s sa id, b y a l ega l fi c tio n , or a limited and tech nical use of the word, to be promoted 'by Hodgson Gladstone, istone, whil e a ll th e wor ld knows that it is insti tuted and carried on by the Bishop of London-by that prelate who licensed and suffered several Tractarian priests to preach unscr i ptural and profane doctr i nes, to practise the most offensive idolatries, and to utter the most re volting impieties—all without rebuke. He licensed and endured, in the same manner, Mr. Bennett, whom all knew to be o ne o f t h e di sgu i sed emissaries of P opery, and did not withhold hi s li cence unt i l h i s mummer i es , buffo buffooneries, and profanenes s h a d near l y occas i one d a public riot in time of divine service. And when the Bishop withdrew his licence, he joined with others in recommending this disguised Popish priest to the Popish holder of the Protestant living of Prosaic as a proper per son to be incumbent. That priest, finding his attempts at deception no longer practicable, has now acknowledged his allegiance to the Pope, and y et , f o r aught we ktow to the contrary, still holds the living. Under 'this Bishop Of the Established Churcb, the following persons have thrown off the mask in less than six months from the publication of the last Catholic Directory announcing what are falsely called " Clerical Converts to the Catho lic (Popish) Faith." The men never belonged to any other Faith or Church:— Rev. G. Carey, Curate of Margaret Chapel. Rev. C. B. Garaide, ditto. Rev. Mr. Bodley, Curate of Archbishop Tennyson's Chapel. T. W. Allies, formerly Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of London. „ Rev. liiihrißedroiil, - Cara - C . 6f Christchnrcb, Hoxton. Rev. W. Dodavverth, Incumbent of St. Pancras, London. Rev. Harper, St. Peter's, Pimlico. Rev. Joseph Henry Jerrard, D.C.L., Member of the Senate, and Examiner in Classics and History in the University of London. Rev. Vale, 01 Zluchingham Palace Chapel. To these are now to be soled the R2v. William J. E. Bennett, of the notorious St. Barnabas Chapel, Pimlico, whom Lord John Russell and numbers'of the nobility and gentry patronised, by their constant attendance on his buffoonery and profane mummeries, assisted by three or four other Popish priests in disguise. We are astonished that Protestants have not generally seen through the shallow device of the Jesuits in intruding their pupils into tho universities and the Church, for the very purpose of inuring the people to the practice of idolatry, and then pretending to be reconciled to Rome, in the hope and expectation of carrying over their flocks in a mass. Besides Mr. Turnley, in his " Popery in Power," Mr. Gladstone, in his excellent sermon, " Tree tarianism is Popery, and must be expelled," and our selves, no one seems to have noticed the artifices. As to that sermon of Mr. Gladstone'a, and another on the famous text," Speaking lies in hypocrisy," we have very little doubt that they contain the seals of that animosity with which he is persecuted. A Bishop, under whom so many unchristian tenets and practices are allowed to be tried, to the intended overthrow of the Church, which he is most enormously overpaid to serve, and under whom so many " clerical converts" to Popery, swell the lists of the Catholic Directory, had need of very clean hands before going into a court to prosecute a clergyman whose real offence is that he preached the doctrines held by the Latimers, Taylors, Stillingfleets, Tillotsone, and Sherlock a of his church—men before whom the modern bunch of bishops hide their diminished heads. He has also fearlessly, and in the strictest accordance with his duty, denounced the insidious practices which well known bishops publicly protect and encourage in their dioceses; and, therefore, he and all such clergymen are to be put down, if possitile, with the forms of courts and appearances of law, but, at all events, they must be put down. Who does not see the perfect keeping in fos tering Bennett, Allies, and the other disguised priests in the lists just given; the refusal of the services of such pious and Protestant clergymen as the celebrated Merle D'Aubigne, a man with a world's fame for ever, to the foreign visitors of the Protestant faith; and the inhibition and persecution ,of Mr. Gladstone? The connexion is visible—palpable; gross to every sense of perception. There are four bishops now pub licly notorious as deeply implicated in the Popish plot, and no stronger proof can possibly be adduced of the weakness of the State Church, and the defectiveness of its Government. Where is the power to inhibit and expel these bishops? Does it conveniently sleep? and why have they not long ago been, every one of them, tried, even in ecclesiastical courts? Why should a bishop have his court, into which he can drag and ruin an honest clergyman, and neither clergy nor people have a court to punish, in like manner, a traitorous bishop? If the Church is to stand as a Protestant Establishment twenty years longer, it must be provided with a remedy for this glaring defect and absurd inconsistency in its internal discipline. With reference to the people, and such upright clergyman as Mr. Gladstone, we would beg them to remember the great movement in the Church of Scotland a few years ago. Let the former support those of the clergy, whom the Popish bishops now in the Establishment displace, and endeavour to deprive of all means of subsistence. Their teaching will be as pure, as holy, and as effectual, in an uncon secrated place, as any house made with hands, and blessed by a bishop. The church, for nearly two cen turies and a half, bad no such rite ss consecration. It was borrowed from the heathen custom of dedicating the temples of the mythological deities, and is now as pure a piece of Popery as processions, tapers, crucifixes, and dolls. A magistrate's licence is all that is suffi cient, and, for any purpose of true religion, it will be fully as valuable as a bishop's, or anything that a bishop can grant, confirm, or do. The bishops of apostolical and primitive times were not men exercising authority, but elders among elders in each church, which was no thing more than a congregation for prayer and mutuel exhortation, and their whole business was to moderate, and look over, or rather after, the community of goods. Hence their name. The rest was an encroachment of the Popes JO personal aggrandisement, and bor rowed from the , sacerdotal usages of the Pagans, as soon as the Popes divested themselves of Christianity and professed Mariolatry and the old worship of pictures and doll. Let the people abjure al prelatical authority over their judgment and conscience, and maintain their faith oil preachers. A movement of this sort will commence the second Reformation, which will spread over Europe like a train of gunpowder. The opportunity now pre :sews its lf, and the direct foes of God and man may b. briefly defeated with their own weapons. Oe reference to the proceedings in the Arches' Court on Monday, it will be seen that Mr. Gladstone was not allowed to enter upon those subjects which are alone material to his de fence. Wo do not doubt that the Judge's objection i 3 strictly technical, but what a farce aro wo witnessing, where a very different person and far heavier offences ought to be the subjects of legal investigation. The proceedings, without some such timely warnings as the present, will carry the public mind away from the real and only important matters at issue. DAILY NEWS.—The decision of Sir John Dodson, judge of the Arches' Court, in Mr. Gladstone Cote another example of the loose and unsatistactory rights the law regulating the power s of bishops and th of their licensed clergy; w hilst the facts of the case afford another illustration of the inconsistent manner in which the diocese of London is governed by i its Bishop. The Mr. Gladstone in question, it is scarce y necessary to state, is not the right reverend gentleman cf that name who occasionally preaches in the House of Commons— who is for revolutionis in g the Church of England in the colonies—who has assumed the care and protection of the episcopal communion in Scotland—and whose works, pamphlets, and essays on ecclesiastical subjects already fill many volumes remarkable for anything an d everything but coherency of opinions. The de fendant in this case is a Reverend Gentleman who wa s lately licensed by the Bishop of London to perform di vine service in an unconsecrated and proprietary chapel in seems, he m a d e hi mself in Long - acre , wher e, as re • markeble for his low Church opinions es the other Mr. Gladstone is for his high Church views. Fond as the Bishop of Lo ndon is of building new church es, where they are not at a ll times wanted, he has a even huge dislike to private proprietary chapels. He was always sorely troubled about the one in John-street , o B Bedford row, r c s l- row , where Mr. Baptist N oe l preached so long and o popularly. He still keeps a sharp look out after D r . Th o rpe and his chap e l i n Belgravai,wsh or devoted. It ere he will not . Bloomsbury have fresh curates, however a bl e , ou o district was in a proprietary ch a p e l in the msbury that he, last year, s il ence d t h e foreign out his styl e o f ministers. He is now in hot water with Mr. Gladstone preaching in a simil ar pl ace of worshipa in Long. acre , and some of these days we may see him fall foul of the reverend author of " Satan," a Poem , who occupies the Percy -street conventicle. Doubtless proprietary chapels a such as these are ma k es hif ts . Now- ays no one thinks of resorting to such irregular anddefectiv e moans of Church extension, and the sooner they ca n b e a ll use d u p as district ch urc h es th e better. Bat bishops should re collect their origin; how they of were started to supply great and notorious deficiency . c church accommodation, how in those days the liberality, the means and the legal facilities of the presenth time were wanting; how, wanting them, dissent would of the old parish churcihneds..ff have received the overflow and the supineness, the And recollecting all this perverse ness of their predecessors, lerence, and the bishops might be excused if they treated proprietary chapels, their ministers and their congregations, with a little less haughtiness and a little more respect and consideration than they do. But so it is —bishops look than harshly and unkindly at them; so and no bishop more Charles James of London. It must, however, be admitted that their incumbents are not especially bishop -loving clergy; they cannot, of it s members belong t o t h e high church party, f or none of members would condescend to sacrifice or meditate within unconsecrated walls; and of the low church party , t he y are generally the lowest. They l oo k more to their con gregrations than t their diocesans, and have much of the sturdiness and independence of dissenters . They work hard, preach with vigour, and lecture frequent l y . Perhaps► we ma- add, that they love to see their nam e in large pla cards-on the walls. Of this sort and school seems to have been Mr. Gladstone of Long - tiC fC—earnest, active, , decided, and, if we judge co rrectly, a little etr "g and ( iz. 4 7 N ) coarse.

Nevertheless, it would have beeequite as easy to have delivered convincingued powerful lectures on the subject, without turning the pulpit into, a forum if acettention even against Bishop , Bloinfield; the lecturee: might net bayc+ been so po pular or - attractive, unspiokd by the personality; but they would probably have been gains as effective and j ests/le a ve - And, after - all. etch proprietary chapels . b piritual edification, eaailesitastical bitterness. are places for divine .worahip, Red not for polemical strife and Exeter-hallis still peen for ale4animesities of religion; and for better, things to. In the midst of this curri culum the Bishop -of London deprived Mr. Gladstone of his licence; which he did without assigning reasons,: trying him for any ecc!eeiastieal offence, or even making , any charge of irragularity against him. The Bishop ' merely served Mr. Gladstone with the following docu ment, as plenary in its terms, and as it turns out in its . authority, as any Papal bull:— " Charles James, by _Divine permission, Bishop of London. to the Rev. John Eddowes Gladstone, clerk, B.A. Whereas, we did on or about the Ist August, ISSI, give and grant unto you our licence and authority, but during cur pleasure, to perform the office of minis. ter of Long-acre Chapel, being an unconsecrated chapel, to which you were nominated by Charles George Whitaker Smith, clerk, sole lessee thereof, by and with the written consent of Henry Mackenzie, diem, vicar of the said parish. Now, we, for divers good causes and considerations, do, by virtue of our authority, ordinary and epiacopal, and as far as in us lies, and by Jaw we' can revoke, annul, and make void the - staid ljeen aes and do dismiss yeas from the office of minister aforesaid by these presents. And we do furiber by these. presents prohibit yoir from officiating as minister, or performing any ecclesiastical duties within the said chapel, or - elsea where, within our diocese." This peremptory prohibition Mr. Gladstone held to be of no legal value, because of its assigning no canonical reasons, or its containing no adjudication of his having committed any canonical offence; he therefore disre garded it; s t ud, pursuing his ministerial labours in the chapel (with certainly no • increased respect ' for the - HAW'. wasnfer the reformation of his manners and for his soul's health, thrown into the e cc l e siastical courts. There. on Mond a y l ast, hesitation or doubt, that S t i the e J olin Dodson bishop had a riled,perfect withoutlogal right to revoke a clergyman's licence thus summarily, the whole race of curat es and other licensed and without stating an y reason. follows , clergymenthen, that anyare at i the m oo m ti e — re t y ha o t t h itsh powereirbishovoeprs ' them whimi.sanrdbcitarparriy.cettoadt despotic;—that he may at any moment revoke the li cence he has granted them;—and that he is under no legal obligation to explain t o any mortal why l wherefore he has done so. Ail th ey have to rely on or is bishop's sense of moral re s p ons ibi l i ty and of duty. Beyond that they have no security th a t they may not at any moment be silenced, ruined, and starves: nif this really be the state of the law as to curates and licensed clergymen, it is certainly without parallel in English jurisprudence; and not one of the inferior clergy of this country is for an instant safe. He may be unfrocked whenever his bishop pleases; and not a word of explanation need the bishop give. Yet no sooner does he become a beneficed clergyman —no sooner has he a living instead of a curacy or a chapel— than he may set his bishop at defiance, he may perne trate what moral enormities he chooses, and the bishop cannot eject him from his benefice. All the diocesan can do then is to silence him in his church; the profits of his cure be may continue to enjoy—the only restric tion that can be placed on hint being that he must ab stain from public service. This contrast is clearly very discreditable to our Jaw; it is arbitrary, and despotic, and tyrannical to licensed clergymen; it is over-protec tive where beneficed clergymen are concerned. Nor is this the only unpleusaut contrast furnished by this case. How long- e offering, enduring, quiescent, and tolerant was tie Bishop of London with Mr. Oakley, Mr. Dodsworth, and Mr. Bennett! How premptory, haughty, and intolerant with Mr. Gladstone! For the former he had letters, entreaties, requests, end solicitations. • For the latter, instant dismissal and the Ecclesiastical Court. He bowed Mr. Oaklay and "dear Mr. Dodsworth" politely to Rome. He will drive Mr. Gladstone un feelingly to dissent. LAW IN TELLIGEN CE INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, May 5: (Before Mr. Coinuaisbiuller LAW.) IN THE NATTER OP PATRICE STEWART. This insolvent, a clerk in the Ordnance-office, applied to be discharged. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Caalteen opposed for creditois, and other creditors appeared in person. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Sargood supported. In 1846, when the insolvent's salary was 2101, h• ap plied to the Court of Bankruptcy, and obtained a 6.e9.1 order. He had paid 601. a year into that wart until the last quart, r, and dividends had been paid. Beiag without sufficient means he had raised money on bills, and had paid for advances and , renewals more than. 60 per cent. for the last two years, until ho resolved, to come to this court. lie had never been free from the money-lenders. lie proposzd to continue the 601. to the Court of Bankruptcy, and to pay 601. a year into this 'Court for the new creditors out of his present salary of 33C/. It was arranged between the creditors and the insol vent's counsel that NO/. a year amid be set aside. Mr. Commissioner Lew was not disposed to discharge the insolvent, unless the Ordnance Department would consent to the proposal, as the creditors might obtain no benefit. As to the money lenders, he only wished the law allowed him to pay the tradesrncn first, and such persons in twenty years time. Ultimately it was settled that the insolvent should go out on bail, such permission havmg been before refused, and that the case should be adjourned to the 7th June, to carry the proposal of 1001 a year to the new creditors into effect.

In August, 1851, the ,promoters of the Submarine Telegraph formed themselves into a French Company (Societe en Comman ditel, gad established telegraphic communication - betwen - DOl'llrada . Calais. • • On the lath November last the telegraph was opened to the public, since which time it has worked without the slightest irregu'arity or interruption. A Submarine Telegraphic communication having been thus suc cessfully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now ar rived to invite the public to c—operate with them in developing the resources, and extending the advantages of this important under taking: The following brief statement will show the actual position and prospects of the Sub./ arine Telegraph:— A royal charter of incorporation was obtained in 1851, but it has been determined to surrender the same for one of more extended powers, enabling the Company to establish a S ibmarine Telegraphic Communication with all parts of the Continent of Europe. The draft or this charter is now before the Board of Trade, and It is believed that it will be finally granted at the next Privy Council. The capital of the French Company consists of 75,000 shares of 1/. each. _ _ _ It is proposed to surrender these shares for shares of a corres ponding value in the Company now forming under the aforesaid extended Royal Charter. An exclusive concession has also been obtained from the Belgian Government, and important privileges from other foreign Govern ments. . The Charter of Incorporation will unite these different conces sions and privileges, thus securing to this Company the exclusive right of telegraphic communication between Great Britain and the Continent. The receipts of the Submarine Telegraph have never been less than 5 per cent., although it has been severely cramped in its operations in consequence of its present position, forming, as it does, only one link in the chain of continental communication ; but, after allowing an outside margin for works and expenses, and for laying down a distinct and most complete line from Dover to London, the returns during the past month have been at the rate of 71. 18s. 31. per cen , . In order to provide for the daily increase of business, and to secure the telegraphic communication with the Continent aga.nst any risk of interrupti n, it is proposed to lay down a second cable between France ana England, and also one between Dover and Ostend, which will give 16 Telegraphic lines of communication between Great Britain arid the Continent, and amply supply the various lines of France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Responsible parties have undertaken to lay down these lines with a sufficient number of wires for any amount of traffic that can be anticipated, for the sum of 70,0001., to include all patent rights, and all preliminary and other expenses incidental to the Belgian and other concessions, which will become vested in this Company. The Charter will authorise the raising of a capital of 300,0001. ; but under the arrangements above referred to, not more than 75,0001. of new capital will be required to carry out the objects in contemslation. The European and American Electric Telegraph Company being formed under the powers of the Act of Parliament in connection with this Company, the arrangements for completing the extension of the Submarine Telegraph to London, Manchester, and Liverpool, will be immediately concluded, when the French Government have undertaken to provide independent wires for the exclusive use of the from Calais to the centre of Paris. In the e therefore, the Exchanges of London, Liver pool,Submarine Telegraph and Manchester, will be brought into instantaneous communi cation with that of Paris ; and the same principle may be carried into effect with al! the other cities of commercial importance through out the Continent of Europe. An estimate of the vast extension of business which must follow such a deveispment of Telegraphic Communication, under a system of mo lerate charges, may be arrived at by a consideration of the marvellous results which attended the introduction of "the Penny Postage. The day of experiment with the Submarine Telegraph has passed, and all, therefore, which now remains Is to afford every facility to the puhllc to avail themselves of an invention which is evidently destined materially to affect the interests of the Commer cial and Political World. Applications for the 1,500 Shares may be made to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Stock Brokers, 68, Old Broad-street, City. THE EUROPEAN (ftni AMERICAN) ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

It is proposed to construct one main line of Electric Telegraphs from Dover to London and Liverpool, connecting Manchester and Birmingham, which will unite with the existing Submarine Tele graph to France, and with that which is about to be laid dovin to Be glum, under concessions from the Fren h, Belgian, and other foreign Governments, which secure an exclusive and direct corre , spondence with the telegraphic systems of the Continent, extending at the present year over 10,000 miles. These lines will be laid underground, under the powers of the Act of Parliament. according to the most approved modern system. by which the telegraph will be se,ured from interruption by atmos pheric or other causes. and the Company guaranteed against all cost or maintenance for ten years. A. sufficient number of wires will be provided to enable the Company to carry on a large business at low rates, which affords the surest source of profit in an undertaking where increase of traffic is not attended by any corresponding in crease of working expense. Resporsible contractors have guaranteed to lay down the entire lines in question, extending over about 300 miles, comp'e e in every respect, and incluaing all preliminary and Parliamentary ex penses, purchase of patent rights, &a., and also to ensure the main tenance and satisfactory working of the lines for ten years after their completion, for the sum of 112,000/. The whole expense of the undertaking being thus defined, no liability can be incurred beyond the amount called on the Shares, as the Directors will undertake no new lines, and enter into no further engagements, without the consent of the Proprietors. The deposit of 3/. per Share will be sufficient to raise the requisite capital under the proposed contract: and the remaining 2/. per Share will be kept in reserve to provide any additional accommo dation that may be wanted for a large expans'on of traffic—no por tion of it being called up without a distinct resolution to that effect from a General Meeting of the Proprietors. Arrangements are now making by which, in the course of a few months, London, Liverpool, and Manchester may be placed in direct and instantaneous communication with Paris, Havre, Marseilles, • Brussels, Amsterdam, Hamburgh, Frankfort, Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, and almost every town of importance in Europe. Express News Agents in New York and Boston have undertaken to collect Telegraphic Messages throughout the vastly extended Lines in America ; these being forwarded by the packets, will, on their arrival at Liverpool, be instantly transmitted through this Line to all parts of the Continent of Europe. so that answers may be received in a few minutes in readiness tor the departure of a „ . returning packet. It is believed, moreover, that the introduction of more economical and efficient means of transmission must lead to an extensive development of business, as has been the ea•e in the United States of America, where upwards of 22,000 miles of Telegraph are already in profitable operation, and where it has bee me as much a matter of necessary and habitual use as the Post-office, in all the transactions of commerce and affairs of daily life. Application for Shares may be made to Messrs.
