The Yew York ,Tribune of the 27th 'ult. publishes a at spatch from E.!an Francisco of two days earlier date stating that the British ship Baringer had just arr:vcd there from Australia, bringing the following escaped political prisoners, sent from Iroland to the British penal colonies in 1865 and 1867 --john Kenny, Dennis B. Castilian, Dennis Hennessey, Maurico Figenbohm, Patrick Lchy, Thomas Fogarty, David Joyce, John Thehan, Patrick Wall, Michael Moore, David Cumming, Eugene Geary, John Walsh, Patrick Doran. and Patrick Dunns. They were son tenced to terms of transportation varying from five yeas to life. They say that they suffered indignities such as no other country but England offers to political offal drs. As soon as the vessel reached the harbour, Mr. Smith, the Fenian Head Centre of California, was notified of the fact, and a committee was at once sent on boar I to escort them to the city. During the afternoon they were visited by large numbers of our Irish citizens and others. who gave them a warm welcome to American soil. BISHOP TEMPLE'S PERSONAL EXPLANATION. On Friday, in the Upper House of Convocation, Dr. Temple, Bishop of Exeter, made a personal explana tion to the assembly. His lordship said ho wished very much on the previous day to make a personal statement with reference to an announcement which appeared in one of the papers, but ho was obliged to delay his statement until this morning. The announcement to which ho referred was that he did not intend on any future occasion to re-publish the essay which he once wrote in the "Essays and Reviews," and, from the way in which it was announced, it was possible that it might be supposed that that announcement was' intended to be made in Convocation. He should have pre ferred making no personal statement, because it was almost impossible for a man to express in mere words what his feelings were on a matter like that. He must let his life and actions speak for him. Now he would address to them words which must be interpreted as they best couldte. Ile could not help regretting that an unfortunate blunder of his necessitated his explanation. With regard to the announce ment he wished to state that it had no reference whatever to Convocation. A little while ago he had occasion to tell an intimate friend (a layman), whose opinion he valued highly, that he had come to the conclusion that he would not re-publish his essay. His reasons were that he found the volume (" Essays and Reviews") was, whether with good reason or without, the cause of serious distress, anxiety, and perplexity to a very great many good people. That distress and anxiety was to a very large degree what he might call contagious. It was not because people had read the book, but because they saw the alarm and discomfiture of others who had read it. He felt very certain that was the case with a very large number and h. , ) believed with the majority of those who felt any agitation in the matter. Clergymen who had signed the memorial against him said privately to Lim that they had not read the essay or anything else he had written, but they felt themselves constrained by the general expres• sion of odinion. He did not think that feeling was right, or quite defensible. He did not set himself up as n judge of others, but he confessed that he did net think the Bishop of Lichfield was quite justified iu the part he took the other day, when he said he had not read the Look, and did not intend to read it. It scorned to him in such cases that the duty of those who acted at all was to act with a full knowledge of all the circumstances. It was quite certain, then, that a great deal of distress and alarm did exist among some who had read the book, and as long as there was any legal right at stake it appeared that he ought not, directly or indirectly, to sacrifice that right. He was appealed to make some declaration on the grounds of charity, and he was almost threate sod that if ho did not do so there would be such opposition made as to keep him out of the office to which he was appointed. But he did not think it right to give way on either ground, especially on the latter, as it was clear to his mind that if such opposition could be success ful the matter ought to be fairly tried. On the ground of charity he would not yield, because one man might yield on that ground, and another man might be called upon to yield on what might be called the ground of charity, when really it was compulsion. Therefore, as long as there was any legal ground at issue he thought it right not to do anything. But after he had become Bishop of Exeter, and when the matter was pressed upon him very earnestly, by some who certainly shared with him the conviction of the necessity of great liberty of opinion, he thought he might do as he had done without injustice to any one, and that he rugl.it yield to the wishes of these who felt so keenly, and withdraw the publication of the essay from the public. This was intended as e satisfaction to those who were unhappy about the book, and who were not quite in a position to answer it—who were distressed, and who would be more dis tressed if such a book were connected with the name of a Bishop of the Church of England. When he told his friend his intention he did not for one moment think of Convocation, and he did not think the announcement would be made daring the sitting of Convocation and give rise to a discussion. Of course he ought to have been very much more guarded, and to have prevented such an announcement being made at the time, particu larly when Convocation was sitting. The right thing for him to have done would have beento have said nothing about it. He had made a blunder and was sorry. One other misconstruction he had to speak about was this—lt might be supposed the withdrawal of the essay was some sort of condemnation of the volume or the writers, or a retractation of what ho had himself written. He did not intend to make it either one of those things, It did not seem to him fitting that he should express a judgment on the writing of others in the "Essays and Reviews," al though it was almost impossible toprevent the appearance of having intended to express such an opinion. The course he had taken might be liable to be challenged, but what he had already announced he intended to do, and it was as well to tell the plain truth in such a case. He meant no such retraction and no such condemnation, nor did he mean it to imply that he had done wrong in letting his essay appear with the others. He did not intend, on that point, to express an opinion. He felt that the publication of an essoy amongst others that would be allowed to Frederick 'Temple would not be allowed to the Bishop of Exeter. The Bishop of Exeter would be required to bo more guarded in everything that he did, and would not only be required to see that only his own publica-' tion but the writings of others were approved by him when his name was associated with them. The Bishop . of Exeter's position would give a book a kind of authority it would not have of itself. He had always held himself responsible for his own essay, and for the statement made at the beginning of the volume, and if the circumstances were to come over again he should do precisely as he had done before. His great and chief reason for with drawing his essay he had stated, his second was that he thought the volume had done the work it was intended to to do. Whether he acted wisely or rightly ie. the past was a matter of opinion upon which he would say nothing. When he was asked to join\ in the writing of such a volume, his reason was that ho could not help being very much struck with the extraordinary reticent) which prevailed among the younger university men, especially at Oxford, and which seemed to 11* to be doing serious mischief to their characters. ManYiwere unwilling to say that their opinions differed from thew ordinarily expressed; if they had a doubt, they were unwilling to express it. Such doubts and perplexities, when kept in, always give a kind of importance to a matter, and a greater magnitude than it really deserves. He was quite certain that in a large number of cases the result of open speaking was the way to get rid of those doubts and perplexities, which could in no other way be, got rid of, and thought men should be encouraged to speak out. He wished to join in a movement that would further this, and that men should speak out, and since the publication of the "Essays and Reviews" men had spoken out more freely. A great many men had received a great help from this change in tone. When the matter came before him in the beginning of the year, he had to con sider the whole subject, and he thought that the work had been done, and ho acted on that opinion, and he felt he was no longer justified in allowing his name and position to be used in forcing that book upon public attention. It was not his place to pronounce judgment on the book itself, but if he had done mischief, (which lie was not prepared to deny,) yet it had certainly dona great deal of good. The speaker at great length defen d ed e ed himself, and referred to religious subjec ts of interest in the course of his speech.
