In August. ./8: , 1, the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph . formetthemsetSes into a French Company (Societe en Comman- dite); and established telegraphic comnumicatiori between Dover and Calais. On the 13th November last the telegraph was opened to the public; since which time it has worked without the slightest irregularity • 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-r 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 . Submarine Telegraphic Communication with a!1 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 11. 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 coupttnication 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 Hutt 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 cent. In order to provide for the daily increase of business, and to secure the telegraphic communication with the Continent against any risk of interrupti ni, it is proposed to lay down a second cable between France and England, and also bile 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 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 eontemplation. 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 un dertaken to Pre vide 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 al! the other cities of commercialimportance through out the Continent of Europe. An estimate of the vast extension of business which must follovv such a development of Telegraphic Communication, under a systein of moderate 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 public to avail themselves of an invention which is evidently destined materially to affect the interests of the Commer cial and Political World.

This Company is termed for the purpose of supplying what hag now become an object of first-rate commercial importance—viz. ,; a cheap communication, by Electric Telegraph, between London, Li verpool, 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 Velegra i rs from Dover to London and Liverpool, connecting Manchester rid Birmingham, which will unite with the existing Submarine le graph to France, and with that which is about to be laid down i to Be . giutn, under concessions from the Fren h, Belgian, and ether foreign Governments, which secure an exclusive and direct corre spondence with the telegraphic systems of the Continent, extendilig 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 of maintenance for ten years. A sufficient number of wires will be provided to enable the Company to carry on a large businesi 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 Ines in question, extending over about 300 miles, complete in and includh , all preliminary and Parliamentary ex- every respect, Jug _ penses, purchase 01 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 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 farther engagements, without the consent of the Proprietors. The deposit of 31. per Share will be sufficient to raise the requisite capital under the proposed contract: and the remaining 21. 'per Share will be kept in reserve to provide any additional accomino dation that may be wanted for a large expansion 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 win to collect Telegraphic Messages throug h ou t the vastly extended Lines in America ;..these being forwarded by the packets, , on their arrival at Liverpool, be instantly transmitted through returning r L icnr i i n an e : to ack a e ll t. paris of the Continent of Europe, so that answers may be received in a few minutes in readiness for the departnre of a it is benoven, Uttneuver. that the introduction of more economical clhe jt Y s ee t !e iG e ra om en e tal a .e s m l6rafr uc b h eua • and efficient means of transmission must lead' to an eXtensive United States of America, where upwards of 22,000 miles of s has been the case in the is a ' matter pa reoffinteaebelsesaryopearnatdionh,ahiatnudat uwsehearsethiet life.

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; very, ler from that in many cases; and in the case of l:teraturb, 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 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 that:will prove true and lasting be looked for. For the rest, I fear there are few branches of htinian 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 tho world's real want and interest: in regard tio, very many there'is perpetually, 4,eeded a generous merchant spirit (which it may be feared free-trade and active competition will not much tend to develop among us)—aed ,in regard to some, there is needed a s pi r it -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 fornai belongs to 'the latter class ; to' these two latter classes it . helongi in all ferries of it velue .to mankind ; for the mere shopkeeper thath opke have any eperspir spirit, looking only to the :visible vicinity, and sharpened into ever greater eagerness for imme diate returns, is smitten with eternal. incompetence in 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 et e"n of the finance of literature:— and, alas! literature - has KaAny 'elements besides the finan cial, and far more important fait than 'the financial; in regard to all of which it would so gladly cease to ,in 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 astonishment, with anxiety, almost with terror. The duties cf society towards literature in those new conditions of the. world are becoming great, vital, inexpressibly intricate, -little capable of being done or understood , at present; -hut all-important to bo 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 and epheeral concerns where " free prose" YeealaYl:g itself, with all its move odie g orithe'thing it calla ruled regu t s t u e p 3 r a e u m d e p , : r o u t society eesel trade-al one, will by no literature, and bound, under incalculable penalties,. to very many duties in regard to that!--- wich duties, per ceive, finance alone,' and free means be found to beethesame. Bat suchnonsiderations 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 .rnakes. even the appearanCe of discharging theme and indeed as '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 thee book selling guild—if never - any .royalty of spirit, as how could such be looked for there-7-.lFt a spirit of solid merchanthood, welsh 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 victualliog .and furnishing of such an enterpriee as Samuel Johnson's Eoglish Dictionary 'for its Englislh . feat (es perhaps we justly may), and many a moires," °'Enoyclop.ediseßritennica,'? . &9., in this coun try and in others for its lower,. we must grateinlly admit the real usefulness, reipectability , and merit to the world. But in -later times, owing to many causes which have been active, not on the book g uild alone, such spirit has long been diminishing,• a n d has now . as "good us disappeared, without bope of re suscitation in that cleaner. The spirit of the b o o k trade, it is mournfully evident, is that of modern trade generally, no . better and no worsq a hand to-mouth spirit, incapable of _ ;ever again paying for even a Johnson's Dictionary I-not_ what I can call a merchant spirit, but (on the great or on the small scale) a shop keeper one.

If my vote •is inquired of in the matter, I grieve' to• say, and sin not con scious of either anger . or of,favour: in saying, it is authentically this which. loads me—and; indeed, has long since led me—to infer thatthe publishing guild, taking large wages for doing ..indispensable . work, and quite omitting to do it,- is in no sate or Jaeting position before• the public, and will prove incapable of standing, unless it can escape being inquired into. If the public itself (as Iby no means believe; or ever believed)-is adequate, by free trade' or otherwise; to remunerate literature, the public ought to have lit least a chance of trying to do it. The present system, by which above one-half, of the selling Pri&e,of et......b00k : (` from 5510 65 per maw including advertisements') is paid , over to , a -man or set of men, not who "write it or . print it, or bind it, or make paper for it; but who -.s how ie iterbss I the counter and draw in the money, remained, to all who look at it in this point of view, one of the most astonish 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.

Lord: Campbell fully understanding that while his opinion - would be respected, his arbitration was not to be accepted an final or decisive. The re statement" of Mr. Chapman -was, in effecte a reproduction of the documents and arguments with which the public Wready familiar. It was liseened to throughout with great interest. Mr. B.Aj3BAGE moved the first - retehtti ont e The prin ciples of free trade having now .been established by ex perience-La well as by argument, it% rite opinion of this meeting teat 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 coerimerce of literature as to every other trade. He was .convinced that the Booksellers' Assodiation 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 consentin g to a natural and wholesele trade, he was satisfied in the end general bene fit even 'so the retail booksellers themselves would be the result. He did not see why the arrangement for a more natural suite 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. Ho re garded this indirectly as an author's question, the sale of ansauthor's book, and being dependent upon the price of the book. Ho. had some doubts if the expression " free trade" was discreetly used in the resolution. The phrase might leave some wrong quasi-political impres sions, cud 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 seo how Mr. Ma caulay's e" History," -or any similar distinctly eminent book, conlci 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 ho pleased. . .Perhaps there might be unfair underselling, if all restrictions were removed; and this was to bo avoided by the publisher diminishing the margin of allowance between the advertised and the trade price. Mr...T.- SAUNDERS (bookseller, cf 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. Ho 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 meeting was unwarrantably attempting to interfere with the profits of the retail booksellers, when several gentlemen inter rupted him, denying that this was the question, and The CHAIRMAN Mr suggested to --• Saunders that his remarks did not apply to the affirmations of the reso lution,—(Cheers.) Mr. SauernEns would then consent to speak simply to the precise terms of the resolutions. He continued, however, is the same strain, a nd became involved in a dispute with Mr. Bentl e y as to the former discounts al lowed to the trade. Mr. Novenno replied at length to Mr. Saunders. Mr. G. Wxy.tmi took the same view as Mr. Saunders, and altogether denied the right of such a meeting to meddle in trade arrangements. Mr. SOTHEReN followed on the same side; and an angry discussion arose es to the precise points at issue. [An amendment directly opposed to the resolution was proposed by Messrs. Willis end Sotheron, and afterwards withdrawn; and a s upplementary discussion was then provoked as to - the right of Messrs. Saunders, Willis, and Sotheron being present. Mr. Chapman said the meeting had been convened for a s pecific object, gentlemen hold ing a particular sot of opinions only oa the question hav ing been invited; and he explained that ou 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 w ou l d not do so; and the chair man, with the evident a pprobation of the meeting ex pressed his determination, dissentients being present, to hear all they had to say, and fairly to put whatever pro positions they might think fit to make.] The resolution, after some further co nversation, was carried, three hands only b e i n g held up against i t . Mr. CABLES KNIGHT proposed, and Mr. Toes TAT non 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 o therwise be, thus restricting their sal© to the great injury of authors, Met an of public d all co nnected with . , , literature." Mr. BUSH (of the firm of Bickers and Bush) spoke to the resolution. In his opinio n , the association which cone to him to dictate th e terms on which he should deal with his customers mi g h t b e properly handed over to the police.—(Laughter.) The resolution was carried unanimously, the three dis sentients ceasing to offer furth er oppos i t i on . The third resolution, whi ch was carried, was proposed by Professor NEWamAN, and Professor seconded by ANSTED:—" This meeting considers the peculiarity of the book trade—via., that the publisher fixes and adver tises the retail price of his Publications—no valid argu ment for the maintenance of the present restrictive els , tem, and that the less the office of promoting the reta il sale is centralised in the publisher, and the more it de volves on the local bookseller, the better for the com merce of literature. Professor OWEN proposed the next resolution— " That the trade restrictions, falling g as they do with peculiar severity upon books o f a comparatively limited , c i rcu l a tion, greatly retard t h e spread of the higher branches of science and philosoph y by rendering it un profitable, and , i ndeed, dangerous, to publish works de voted to them." lie illustrated th© argument of the re solution by referring to his Own experience as an author of books on scientific subjects. The difficulty of get ting &Lich books published had led to combinations of scient i f i c men, who had turned amateur p u blishers, and who made the publications pay by fixing natural instead of artificial prices on them. The publishing system was obviously a rotten one, or it would not drive scientific authors to these resources. Dr. LANKESTER seconded the resolution; and on being put it was carried. Mr. WARD proposed the fifth repolutioa--4, That ex perience h a ying repeatedly shown ~ that t rades with arti ficially high profits and asmall gain by being forced into the natural system na ofl ow profits an d a large ' market t hi s meeting is of opinion that th e abolition of • nous, injuring the book sellingso far from the present restrictions, will greatly benefit it." business, Mr. CHAPMAN seconded it; and after a speech f r om Mr. SAUNDERS, it was carried. place A conversation thou toot;LordCam inll lrleference to the suggestion to wait upon Lord - A .

CHRONICLE.—The long-standing controversy re specting the Metropolitan Water Supply seems at last to 'be practically settled. The few remaining defenders of the Board of Health may perhaps attempt re re-open the discussion in the House; but there will be little disposi tion on the part either of the Gorernraent or of Podia ment to overrule the correlations at which the S; , lect Committee have arrived at the close of its laborious in seatigation. The present Bill, as emended, c:ineides in almost ell respects with the arrangements n hich we have repeatedly recommended as just and practicable. The supply-of water to London is still to bo 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 conseqa nee 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 molding to local circametanees. Some of the companies are, up to the present time, under no legal restriction as regards their scale of charges,while others, having recently had occasion to solicit now 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 Loudon, 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. Only two or three years have 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 bo 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 tho 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 collect evidence in fa bour 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 sabstituted 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 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 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 atm• 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 ruin 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 le 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 Dill was that 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 smo ke of London may be considered to extend its date rioratirg influence. Th e s y s t em o f cons tant supply is tobec 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 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 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 nobleworks 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 Vauxhall 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 Ebrington attempted to introduce the general sanitary question—expressing, at the same time, an apprehension that the lower districts south of the river might be swamped by an excessive flow of water. It is desirable that Parliament should remember 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 hoped 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 have not yet learned to regard as 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 reduotion 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 himse lf, and p erha p s 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 case, nominally " Hodgson v. Glad. I 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 01l lands in which the Word of God is revered as the only rule of fifth, and the Only hope of the Christian, This case is said, by a legal fictioo, or a limited and tech nicsl. use of the word, to be promoted by Hodgson v.

That priest finding his attempts at deception no longer practicabl e , has now acknowledged his allegiance to the Pope, and y e t, f or aught we know to the contrary, still holds the living. Under this nista of the Established Church, the following persons have thrown off the mask in less than six months from the publication of the last Catholic Directory announcing what aro 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. 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, Hoxton. Rev. W. Dodsworth, 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, 91 Buckingham Palace Chapel. To these are now to be added the Rev. 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 the 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 sermonof Mr. G ladstone's, and another on the famous text," Speaking lies in hypocrisy," we have very little doubt that they contain the seeds 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 ho is most enormeusly overpaid to serve, and under whom 80 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 ho preached the doctrines held by the Latimere, 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 publicly 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 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 hav, 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 interanl discipline. With reference to the people, and such upright clergyman as Mr. Gladstone, wo would beg them to remember 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 n"^r2'33 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, 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, 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 tinier were not men exercising authority, bat elders among elders in each church, which was no thing more than a congregation for prayer and mutual 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 for 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 dolls. Let the people abjure all prelatical authority over their judgment and conscience, and maintain their faith ful preachers. A movement of this sort will commence the second Reformation, which will spread over Europe like a train of gunpowder. Tho opportunity now pre sents itself, and the direct foes of God and man may be briefly defeated with their own weapons. 0.1 reference to the proceedings in the Arches' Court on Monday, fit will be seen that Mr. Gladstone was not allowed to enter upon those subjects which are alone material to his de fence. We do not doubt that the Judge's objection is strictly technical, but what a farce aro we 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.

Now-a de roprietary chapels s no one thinks of resorting to suc h i rregu l ar an d defective means of Church extension, and the sooner they can be all used np bishops as district churches the bett er . Bat 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, the overflow wanting them, dissent would have received of the old parish churches. And recollecting all this and the supineness, the indifference, and the perverse ness of their predecesso rs , bishops might be excused if they treated proprietary chapels, their ministers and r their cone gati ons, with a littl e less haughtiness and a little more respect and consideration than they do. Bdt so it is—bishops look harshly and unkindly at them; and no bishop more so than Charles Jews of London. It must, however, be admitted that their incumbents are not especially bishop-loving clergy; 'they cannot, of course, belong to the high church party, for none of its members would condescend to sacrifice or meditate within unconsecrated walls; and of the low church pa rt y , they are generally the lowest. They look more to their con gregrations than to their diocesans, and have much of the sturdiness and independence of dissenters. They work hard, prea c h w ith vigour, and lecture frequently. Perhaps, e in large Otte we may add, th a t th e y love to ace their nem 1 seems to cards on the walls.

Ho took to delivering popular lectures on Tractarianism: in them he did not mince matters, but, from the pulpit traced the growth of that system in London to the policy and the proceedings of the bishop. The taste of this, in a chapel to whi c h h e was licensed by the bishop, 'was perhaps questionable ; the pt u d enoe nowhere; but the truth, to great extent, un ( r a i i b te d . Tractarianism would have spread in the dioceie . of. London had its present bishop been a Cranmer, but it s spread has, no . doubt, beehtreatly encouraged by the fact that he is a Blomfield. Nevertheleasaai, Wo u ld have beenquite as easy to hare delivered convincingand powerful lectures on the subject, without turning the pulpit into a forum of accusation even against Bahep.

In the midst of this curri- Culum the Bishop f 14 , •nckii deprived Mr. Gladstone of his licence ; which he did without pingping .reasons, trying hitt') for any eccicsisstical offende, Or evt.ta making any 'charge of irr .gularity :igeinst" him. The'Bishop in: rely served Mr. Glalstone with the 'following docu ment, as plenary in its terms, and as it turns out is its authority, as any Pap'3l bull:— " Charles James, by Divine permission, Bishop of Inedon, to the Rev. John Eddowes Gladstone, clerk; B.A. Whereas, we did on or nb'ut the Ist August, 1851, give and grant unto you our licence rnd authority, but during our pleasuie, to perform the office of minis ter of Loog•acre Chapel, being an unconsecrated chapel, to which you were nominated_ by Charles George Whitaker STkith,.cl , rk, sole lessee thereof, by and with the written consent of Henry Mackenzie, clerk, vicar of the said parisb. Now, we, for divers good causes and considerations, do, by virtue of our authority, ordi nar y and episcopal, and as far as in us lies, and by law we can revoke,. annul, and make void the said licence, 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 containing no adjudication of his , having committed any. canonical offence; he therefore disre. garded it; and, pursuing his ministerial labours in the chapel (with certainly no • increased respect for the bishop), was, for th e reformation of his manners and for his soul's health, thrown into the ecalesiastioal courts. There, on Monday last, Sir John Dodson ruled, without hesitation or doubt, 'that the bishop had a perfect legal right to revoke a clergyman's licence thus summarily, and without stating any reason. rt follows, then, that the whole race of c u r a t es and other l icense d clergymen are at the mercy of th e i r bishops' w him and caprice at any moment;—that his power over them is arbitrary and 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 to any mortal why or wherefore he has done so. All they have to rely on is the bishop's sense of moral responsibility and 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 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 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 be placed on him being that he must ab stain from public service. This contrast is clearly very discreditable to our law; 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 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 he had letters, entreaties, requests, and solicitations. For the latter, instant dismissal and the Ecclesiastical Court. He bowed Mr. Oakley and "dear Mr. Dodswerth" politely to Rome. He will drive Mr. Gladstone un feelingly to dissent. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, May 5 . (Before Mr. Commissioner Law.) IN THE MATTER OF PATRIII/C. STEWART. This insolvent, a clerk in the Ordnance-office, applied ;o be discharged. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Caalteen opposed for creditors, and other creditors appeared in person. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Sargood supported. _ In 1846, wheYthe insolvent's salary was 210/, he ap plied to the Court of Bankruptcy, and obtained a final order. He had paid 60/. a year into that oourt until the last quartt r, and dividends had been paid. Beiag without sufficient means ho had raised money on bills, and had paid for advances and renewals more than 60 ,per cent. for the bat two years, until he resolved to ,111 come to this court. He had never been free from the oney-lenders. He proposed to continue the 601. to t.:Je Court of Blakruptcy, and to pay 601. a year into this court for the new creditors out of his present salary of 3301. it was arranged b-tvvcen the creditors and the insol vent's counsel that 1001. a year should 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, ha only wished the law allowed him to pay the tradesmen first, and such persons in twenty years time. Ultimately it was set:Rd that the insolvent should go out on bail, such permission having 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.

Rely, cense tupon his el ec ti on for East Suffolk, has, for the Fifthtime daring the existing Parliament, caused a va cancy in the rep resentation of this borough. The only candidate iu the field for the vacant seat is Mr. Isaac Butt, Q C., who cause down last week and prosecuted an active canvass, besides addressing Me electoral body on two occasions. The resignation of the Solicitor-General has led to the abandonment of the petition to the House of Commons against his return, which it appears was drawn up and presented under the instructions of Mr. Coppock. This proceeding has aroused the ire of Mr. Butt, who a few evenings since convened a meeting of his friends and supporters, and submitted to them a counter petition, " to have Mr. Coppock brought to the bar of the House of Commons for improper interference with the privileges of the electors of Harwich." The writ for the new election arrived on Tuesday. MANCHE STER.-A meeting of the supporters of Lord Moreton and Mr. G. Loch, was held on Tuesday even ing at the Albion Hotel, Manchester. About sixty or seventy persons only, out of the whole number of those to whom circulars had been sent were present, and the most influential were Mr. Robert Gardner, Mr. Robert Gladstone, and Mr. Robert Barbour. Though the can didates profess to come forward on independent tend liberal principles, they are brought out by the high Con servative party,.and the chief motive to action is the course vvhich the present Members for the borough took on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill and a desire to thwart the Anti-Corn -law League.
