I - graphic cbmithnicatlon between Dover add Bite), and established • • CUthils. On the 15th 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 charb•r of incorporation was obtained in 1851, but It has been determined to surrender the time for one of more extended powers, enabling the Company to establish a Submarine telegraphic Communication with all parts of the C , intinent of Europe. The draft or this charter is now before the Board of Trade, and It is believed that it will be llnally granted at the next Privy Council. The capital of the French Company consists of 75,000 shares of I/. 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 conces-lon 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 Dever 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 against any risk of interrupti 'n, it is proposed to lay down a second cable between France and England, and also one between Dover and Ostend, which will give 16 Telegraphic lines of communication between Great Britain and the Continent, and amply supply the various lines of France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Responsible parties have undertakers 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 '75,000/. of new capital will be required to carry out the objects in contemplation. 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 Submarine Telegraph from Calais to the centre of Paris. In the course of a few months, therefore, the Exchanges of London. Liver pool, and Manchester, will be brought into instantaneous communi cation with that of Paris ; and the same principle may be carried into effect with all 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 devel rpment of Telegraphic Communication, under a system of mo terate 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 puhlic to avail themselves of an invention which is evidently destined materially to affect the interests of the Commer cial and Political World.

Electric Telegraph, between London, Li verml, and Manchester, and an uninterrupted connexion, by means of the Submarine Telegraph, between those places and the Continent of Europe. , 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 down to Be gium, under concessions from the Fren It, 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 secured 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. Responsible contractors have guaranteed to lay down the entire lines in question, extending over about 300 miles, complete in every respect, and including all preliminary and Parliamentary ex penses, purchase of patent rights, &c., and also to ensure the main tenance and satisfactory working of the lines for ten years after their completion, for the sum of 112,0001. The whole expense of the undertaking being tllus 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 tinder the proposed contract: and the remaining V. per Share will be kept in reserve to provide any additional accommo dation that may be wanted for a large expans . oa 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, L on don, Liverpool, and Manchester may be placed in direct and instantaneous communication with Parts, Havre, Marseilles, "Brussels, Amsterdam, Hamburgh, Frankfurt, 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 tits 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 rd eg ietl rap d h en a t re me ß a i n r returning packet.

But, inetead'of yur coming to us separately, I strongly advise you to attend here on'the 17th or May. we appointed that day expressly to afford you an oppor tunity of meeting U 3, and by n o means xa l as t ee ly for the association. You may depend upon it, that from the un proposed arrangement nothing pleasant to any of tho parties can occur. " I remain; your obedient servant, "John Chapman, Eq." - "CAMPBELL. Lord Campbell fully" understanding_ that while his opinion would be respected; his arbitration was not to be accepted as final or deeisive. The " statement" of Mr. Chapman was, in effect, a reproduction of the documents avid arguments with which the public is already familiar. It was listened to throughout with great interest. Mr. BABBAGE moved the first r eso l ution: " The prin ciples of free trade havinreelelteeteeen establi s h e d by ex perience as vvelLaktvkirgulssett,Fitia thenpinieu pfB4.4is, meeting that they ought to be applied to books as to all °tbsr articles of commerce." The principles enunciated in this reeolution he had held all his life, applying them every other trade. t H o o th w e a c s om oo m o e v r i cL e o d f t l h it a e t ra t t h ur e e B a l s ok to 6olow, Asth6iation greatly misapprehended both their rights and their in some temporary mischief', as the con sequence of abolish ing and though there might - i e . 80,7,0 arters be artificial regulations and consenti n g to a natural and quarters wholesale trade, he was satisfied in the end general bene fit eveu to the retail booksellers thsnaselves 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 attempt the in e o v f i t a a o b y l e a ; r t a i n ii d o i a i l t r e w g a u s l a folly tio o of fo the price of such a commodity as a book. maintenance m e depart ment, t Mr. ROBERT BELL seconded the resolution. Ho re garded this indirectly as an author's question, the sale of an author's bock, and being dependent upon the price of the book. He 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 friends; 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. In 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 he 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. r.o_ ia PUBLlC p i oTuiitoa i l-lovngat-esrtasnudpit p ,long-standing JOURNALS. ycsoenetrnrosvaetrslyastrtco. . C P c. I t t ß l e' g N: I the uoLf t e E t be practically reified. The few remaining defenders of the Board of Health may perhaps att_mapt to re-open the discussion in the House; but there will be little disposi tion on the part either of the Government or of Penile ment to overrule the contlesions at which the Select Committee have arrived at the close of its laborious in vestigation. The present Bill, as amended, coincides in almost all reaps eta 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, but 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, depend on its cost, and therefore varies greatly according to local circumstances. Some of the companies are, up to the present time, under no legal restriction as regards their scale of charges,whiloothers, laving recently had occasion' to solicit new Parliamentary powers, are 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 _time a limit on the dividends, 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 relieving 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 securities for the protection of property. . Oaly two or three :years have elapsed since the_ ,Bond of . 1245941ga aefel e xopular-_clamour,. founded on their own frivolous and garbled itatiitios, to recotn mend that all the existing Water resources of Louden ahould 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 such 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 water supply. 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 co llect evidencehour of the official " gathering g rounds ; " and he came founded in fa backhour hsuicphp w oh i s t i h es de a md n i ps e le w oo:v. f ee a rr n sy g o e a m s elbeaaddproject r s f springsheaisrdo own, onand s f. et latterr h 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, • ueplied London with water. Their last Nagar) , 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 had 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 S present session. The measure of 18 51 was fram ed b y William Clay, under the influence prob abl y 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 ofai, 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 ho might deem preferable to its actual course. In the present year, the same obnoxious provision was retained, although Lord Seymour had the good sense to abandon the proposed compulsory amalgama tion. When the Bill was first introduced, we explained the objections which attached to its detaile, stating our groutais for .b.dieving that a Committee would probably be unto 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 London may be considered to extend its dete riorating influence. T'no system of constant supply is to become universal within a period of five years. The rates, as we have already stated, aro 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. Oue of the most 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 Now River and from the Lea, above the tidal flew. Greenwich and Woolwich, with the adjoining suburbs, depend on the Ravens bourne; and the Lambeth Company has recently opened its nobe works at Dutton, some distance above Tedding. ton Leek. The Grand Juni:Lion and the West Middle- Mr. T. SAUNDERS (bookseller, of Charing-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 itia 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 bouks, and to the import of books, but not to the terms oa which a body of re tailers should conduct their business. Mr. Saunders was supporting the proposition that the meeting was unwarrantably attempting to interfere with the profits of the retail booksellers, when several gentlemen inter' rupted denyin g th at t hi s was the question, and The CHAIRMAN suggeste d to M r . Saunders that his remarks did net apply to the affirmations of the reso lution.—(Cheers ) Mr. SAUNDERS would then consent to speak simply to the preeLie 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. Novnr..T.o- replied at-kvgth to Mr. Senn?.... Mr. G. WILLIS took the same view a; Mr. Saunders, and altogether denied the right of such a meeting to ined3le in trade arrangements, Mr. SOTHERON followed on the same side; and an angry discuseion arose as to the precise points at issue. [An amendment directly opposA to the resolution was prOpeed by Messrs. Willis and Sotheron, and afterwards withdrawn; and a supplementery dieeeseion was then provoked us to the right of alessrs. 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; bet Mr. Chap man begged that they would not do so; and the chair man, with the evident a pprobation of the meeting ex pressed his determinat io n , dissentient s b e i ng p res ent, to positions they hear all they had to- might thsayink fit t . and fa o irly to p u t w h a t e ver pro- The resolution, after so make.] me further conversation, was carried, throe han Only being held up against it. Mr. CARLES KNT proposed, and Ail, Tom TAT- Lon seconded, the next res olution:—" That the princi ples of the Booksellers' A,a,t , -80 c , ion are not only op posed to those of free trade, but are extremely te ranni cal and vexatious in their application, and result in Ito-ping the prices of books much higher than they would otherwise be, thus restricting their sale, to the great injury of authors, the public, and of all connected with literature." Mr. 13 - osa (of the aim of Bickers and Buah) spoke to the resolution. In his opinion, the association which cern() to him to dictate the terms on which he should d ea l with his customers might he properly handed over to the peliee.—(Leughter.) The resolution was carried unanimously, the three dis eentieuts ceasing to offer further opposition. The third resolution, which was carried, was nroposed by Professor NEWMAN, And seconded by Prol'essor ANSTED:—" This meeting seconded the peculiarity of the book trade—viz., that th e publisher fixes and adver tises the retail price of his publications —alO valid argu ment for the maintenance of t h e present restrictive sys• tern, and that the less tho offi ce of Promoting the retail sale is centralised in the publisher, and th e more it de volves on the local bookselltr, the better for the com merce of literature.

The p ublishing system was obviously a rotten one, or it would not drive scientific authors to, these resources. i Dr. LANKESTER seconded he resolution; and on being put it was carried. proposed the fifth resolutio " That ex- Mr. WARD having repeatedly shown that tradesiLl with arti ficially ticially high profits and system of low profits n an and a large , forced into the nature . th i s mee ting is of ofpurinfirocnlnthiantinthrionabolition of market, the present restrictions , so . „ g the, book selling business, will greatly benefit It.

When these changes shall have been effected, any fu ture addie ion to the water supply —should it ever be required—will probaoly ba drawn from the chalk to the north of London. There is, however, teo objection to any contribution which may hereafter be sque , zed out of the arid sands of Farnham. In a conversation which arose some weeks since on this subject in the House of Con:Hone, Lord Ebringten attempted to introduce the general sanitary question—expressing, at the same time, an apprehension ttiat the lower districts south of the river might be swamped by an excoseive flew of water. It is desirable that Parliament should remember that there are two independent objects to bo considered in dealing with this matter. The present Bill purports to provide put 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 indifbrent 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 hoped that the present measure will lead to a reduction in the rates; but the fact is that tho poor will not pay for a comfort which, beyond a certain limit, they have not yet learned to regard as a necessary of life. It is for Parliament to decide- whether a" compulsora, water-rate Shall be levied on the owners of houses in habited by the poor. In consideration of such an arrange ment, tho companies might fairly bo 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 bas a right to be uncomfortable himself, and perhaps to impose annoy ances on tenants who may be willing to comply with his terms; but no one has a right to increase the risks of fire, or to create a certainty of fever. The advocates of sanitary. 'improvement will do well to direct a portion of their energies towards securing a universal supply of water; and their efforts will certainly not be impeded by the circumstance that there is already a main, fully charged, within a short distance of the most wretched lodging-house in London.

I shall not be able to attend your meeting - tin Tuesday evening, but I can have no hesitation in testifying my concurrence with the object of it, which_.l 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,lced,. 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; my far from that in many cases; and in the case of literature, farther than in any other whatsoever. But 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 aelear 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 that"will prove true and lasting be looked for. For the rest, near t here are few branehesof human industry, and most clearly literature is not brie of them—in which the shopkeeper pe in cd te e r d es a interest: generous in reg ar m d er to oh ve a r a y , an spirit (so we may call it for the sake of defi n i t i on ) w ill suffice to regulate production add distributio n accor di ng ta to they there world's Ss perpetually d'sreai want taal and rly no spirit (which it may be feared free=trade anti active competition will net much tend to develop.among us)—and in regard to ;souse, 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 . belenge to the latter claSs ; to these two latter elasses ir'ttelongs in all forms of it that have any value to Mankind e 'for the mere s hopkeeper spirit, looking only to the visible vicinity, and sharpened into ever greater eagerness for imam diate returns, is smitten with eternal incoMpetence in even the finance of literature, and can do no good what ever there that would noaotherwise .be done,. and does i m mensities ?of :mischief :there- which perhaps might otherwise remain undone. . . • All this is true even of the finance of literature:— and, alas! Werature 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 ing man with astouishment, with anxiety, almost with terror. The duties of society towards literature in those new conditions of the world are b.sconsing great; vital, inexpressibly intricate, little - Capable of being done or understood at present, but all-important to be un derstood and done, if Society will continue to exist with it, and it along with society.

The case, nominally " Hodgson v. Glad stone," in the Arches' Court, claims a far more startling title throughout Protestant Europe, for it is the_Pope v. Christianity; and should the plot succeed in England, the blood-red flag and the fiery cross will be sent through all lands iu which the Word of God is revered as the only rule - of faith,.ancl the only hope of the Christian. This ease is said, by a legal fictien,nr a limited and tech nical use .of the word, to be promoted by,Hodgkon v. Gladstone, while all the world knows that it is insti tufo,' and carried on by . the Bithop of London—by that prelate who licensed and suffered several Tractarian priests to preach unscriptural and profane doctrines, 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 one of the-disguised emissaries of-Popery, and aid not withhold his licence until his mummeries, buftioneries, and profaneness had nearly occasioned a public riot "in time Of divine service. And when' the Bishop withdrew his licence, be-joined with others:in reconstnending this disguised•Popish priest to-the.

'That priest, finding hi s a tt empts at deceptidn no longer practicable, hasiiniv acknowledged his allegiance to the Pope, and yet, for aught we know to thecontrary, still . Colds the living. Under ,this Bishop of the. Established Church, the following persons -have thrown off the mask in less than six month from the publication of the last Catholic Directory announcing what are falsely called " Clerical Converts to the Catho- lie (Popish) Faith. The men never belonged to any other Faith or Chureli:-- Rev. G. Carey, Curate of Margaret Chapel. Rev. C. B. Garside, ditto. Rev. Mr. Bodley, Curate of Archbishop Tennyson's Chapel. T. W. Allies; formerly Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of London. -Rev, Henry Bedford, Curate of Christchurch, Heaton. Rev. DodsWorth,. Incumbent of St. Pancras, -Lon(laa. • Rey. Harper,-St. Peter ' s, Prea . hce. •Rsv. Joseph Henry Jorrard, D.C.L., Member of the Senate, and Examiner in Classics and History in the ,Unitersity of London. Rev. Vale, of Buckingham Palace Chapel. To these are now to be added the Rsv. William J. E. -Bennett, of the notorious St. Barnabas Chapel, Pimlico, whom Lord John Russell and numbers of the nobility and - gentry ps,troniied, by their constant attendance on his buffoonery and profane mummeries, assisted by 'three or four other Popish priests •in diignise. We are, astonished . that Protestants have not generally seen through the shallow device of the Jesuits in intruding . their pupils into the universities and the Church, for the very pawn) 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 flOaks in a mass. - Besides Mr. Turnley, in his 4 ' Poniry in Power," Mr. Gladstone, in his excellent sermon, a Trae 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's, 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 Serie, 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, Tillotsons, and Sherlecks of his church—men before whom the modern bench 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 publioly protect and encourage in their dioceses; and, therefore, he and all such clergymen are to be put down, if possible, 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 defectivenesa,of its GOvernment. Where is the power to inhibit and expel these bishops? Does it 'conveniently sleep? and why have they' not Jong 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 presided with a remedy for this glaring defect and als4uret inebnsistency - in Its internal discipline. With reference to the people, and such upright clergyman as Mr. Gladstone, we would beg them ' to temember the great movement in the Church of Scotland a few years ego. 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 es 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, had no such rite as 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, tapere;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 primitivetimes were not men exercising authority, but elders among elders in each church, which was no thing more than a congregation for prayer an 4 mutual exhortation, and their whole business was to moderate, and look over . or rather sifter, the community of goods. Hence their name. The rest was an encroachment of the Popes for personal aggrandisement, and bor rowed from the sacerdotal usages of the Pagans, as soon as the Popes divested themselves of Christianity and professed -M - ariolatry and the old worship of pictures and doll.. Let the people abjure all prelatical authority.over their judgment and conscience, and reaintaio their faith ful 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 sents its( If, and the direct foes of God and man may be britfly defeated with their own weapons. 0:1 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 materiel to his de fence. We do not doubt that the Judge's objection is strictly technical, but what a farce are wo w itnessing, where a vory 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 tho real a., . . nd only important matters at issue. of Sir John D odson, DAILY NEWS.—The decision judge of the Arches' Court, in Mr. Gladstone' s case, is another exampla. of the loose and bishop s unsatisfactory state of the law regulaing the powe.ls, t h e facts powers of of their licensed clergy w . ; i 'i the incomistent m anner in Of the car afford another illustration of is governed which the diocese of Lende n g The Mr. Gladstone in question , it is ::arc b e y ly necessary to state, its Bishop. is not the right reve ren d gentleman of that name who occasionally preaches i n the SOUSE) of Commons— whoChurch of England in the colonies—who has assumed in is for revolutioniSing the 010 care and protection of the episcopal communio n Scotland—and whos e works, pamphlets, a nd ess ay s on ecclesiastical subje c t s a lready fill many volumes remarkable for antthin g an d everything but coherency ofopinions . The de fondant in this case is a Reverend G eatl omen who was lately licensed by the Bishop o f Lond on to perform di vine service in en unconsecrated proprietary chapel in Long-acre, where, i and t seems, ho made him se lf as re • a C h urch rkable for his low o p ini ons as the Oth er M r . M Gladstone is for his high Church views. Pond as the Bishop of London is of building new churches, even t where ' they are n e t a. a ll times wanted, he has a h uge dislike to private proprietary chapels. He was always sorely troubled Omit the o ne i n J ohn-street, Bedford ow, where Mr. Baptist N oe l preached so long and so r popalarly. He still keeps a sharp look out after Dr. Tho r pe and his chapel in Belgravia, where he will not h av e tresh curates, however able, pious, or devoted. It was in a proprietary chapel in the Bloomsbury district that he, last year, silenced the foreign ministers. •He is now in hot water with Mr. Gladstone about his: style of predekieg in S. similar place of wor s hi p i n Long- acre; and come of these clays we may see him fall foul of the reverend author of " Satan," 'a Poem, who occupies the Percy-street conventicle. Doubtless proprietary chapels such as these are makeshifts. Now-a-days no one thinks of resorting to such irregular, and. defective • means of Church extension, and the sooner they can be all used up as district churches the better. But bishops should re collect their origin; how they were started to supply great and notorious deficiency of church accommodation, how in those days the liberality, the means and the legal facilities of the present time were wanting; how, wanting themydissent would have received the overflow of the old parish churches. A nd recollecting all th i s and the supineness, the indifference, and the perverse ness 'of their predecessors, bishops might be excused if they treated proprietary • chapels, their ministers and their congregations, w ith a little less haughtiness and a little more respect and consideration than they do. But so it is—bishops look harshly and unkindly at them; and no bishop more so than Charles James o. London. It must, however, be admitted that their incumbents are not especially bi s h op -l ov i ng clergy; they cannot, .is f o course, belong to th e hi g h church party,. for none of its members would con d escend to sacr i fice or me di ta te within they unconsecrated walls; and of the low church pat e r ; non. are generally the lowest.

Exeter-intlfili'stilf open for the animosities of religion; and for better things' too. In the midst of this curri culum the Bishop of London deprived Mr. Gladstone of his licence; which he did without assigning reasons, trying : lim for any ecclesiastical offence, or even tasking any charge of irr. eularity 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 ball:— " Charles James, by Divine permission, Bishop of London, to the Rev, John Eddowes Gladstone, clerk, B.A. Whereas, we did on or about the let August, 1851, give and grant unto you our licence and authority, • but during our Pleasure, to perform the offide of minis ter of Long-acre Chapel, being an unconsecrated chapel, to which-you :were nominated by Charles George 'Whitaker STith, ; 9 l erk, sole lessee thereof, by and with the written cOntent' OfHenry Mackenzie, clerk, vicar of the said parish. Now, we, for divers good causes and cOnsiderations, de, by virtue of our authority; - ordinary and episcopal, and as far as in us lies, and by law we can revoke, annul; 'and make void the saiditcencee and do dismiss 'you from the office of minister aforesaid by .. these presents. And we do further by these presents. • prohibit.-you from•officiating as minister, or performing. any ecclesiastical duties within the said chapel,.or 'else 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 con t ain i ng no a dj u di cat i on o f hi s having committed any canon i cal offence; he therefore disre garded, it; and, pp rs uing his ministerial labours in the chapel (with certainly no increased respect for the bishop). was, for, the reformation of his manners and for his so.•.ll's health, thrown into the ecclesiastical courts. There e on 'Monday last, Sir John Dodson ruled, without * r he ig s h it t a t t o iot t i eti o o r k d e on a b c r ier t g h y a clergyman's l a h n e 's bi fi h ce o n p r. e ll e f ail ol thu a s e perfec t timnia l r egit ly l ) the whole race of curates and other licet v ed 3' and without 'stating' any reason. clergymenthen, are at the mercy of their bishops' whim and caprice at any mement;—that his power over them is arbitrary and despotic;-ethat lie may at any moment rev oke . the_li cence he has granted them;--and that he is under no legal blatigatiOn - eto explain to any m or t a l -why or o wherefore he has done so. All th e y h ave to rely on is the bishop's sense of moral responsibility an d of duty. Beyond that they have no security that they may not at any moment be silenced, ruined, and starved. If 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 thiacountry is for an instant safe. He may • be unfrocked whenever his bishop Pleases; and not a word or explanation need the bishop give. -Yet no -' sooner does he become a beneficed clergyman —no sooner has be a living instead of a curacy or a chapel— than he may set his bishop at defiance, be may perpe 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 he may continue to enjoy —the only restric tion that can bo placed ou him being that he must ab ' stain from public service. This contrast ieelearly very discreditable to our law; it is arbitrary, and despotic, and tyrannical' to licensed clergymen; it is over-protec -1 tive where beneficed clergymen are concerned. Nor is this the only unpleasant contrast furnished by this case. How long-suffering, enduring, quiescent, and tolerant ; was the Bishop of London with Mr. Oakley, Mr. Dodsworth, and Mr. Bennett! How premptory, haughty, and intolerant with Mr. Gladstone! For the former ho had, letters, entreaties, requests, and solicitations.. For the latter; instant dismissal and the Ecclesiastical Court.- He bowed Mr. Oakley and "dear Mr. Dodsworth" politely to _Rome. He will drive Mr. Gladstone un feelingly . _ to dissent.
