Spiablished Church of this country, which we have
great pleasure in quoting

We haws not yet don* with the bohipoldvd
holder, lii we hail fondly tiojied, for the claims by
which Mr. Disraeli seeks to carry oat his adoption
of the principle of Mr. Hodgkinson's amendment are
generally regarded as unsatisfactory in so far as their
meaning can be understood. To us it seems they do
not go*. far as to abolish oompounding altogether,
but leave it optional tothe perdu dirsolly Interested
—a rather clarions arrfogement, and one that we
think *mild not be found to work very well in
practice. Mr. Hodgkinson is not content, and
adheres to his own simple plan of totally abolishing
compounding, and is to move an Amanda:lout
on the Government propoiritions to that Oval..
This ia the tender spot of the Reform question just
now. and is likely to provoke another great party fight.
The excess wMoll is likely to be put forward for not
fulfilling the promise made by Mr. Disraeli is, that
vestries and local authorities thrtughout the country
are strongly opposed to the idea of chancing the
present mode of levying rates as marl' small
tenomente, and in the of a dissolution upon
this subject, some support it is oonjeotored will be
given to the Government forms& each. reason.

The trials of the Fenian prisoners bane not
excited much interest, for the results in the principal
cease were foreseen from tbe beginning, and, after
• few sproilliooll of Informers' ',idiom., people grew
sick of such diefinsnres. But noir that • unlimber of
minimise bee. sentenced to death, and that the Lord
Lieutenant has declared to a deputation that waited
upon him to plead for mercy, that "that. was no
hope or °banes dconammtation even if they went to
the feet of Her Majesty," • strong feeling is pre-
valent in favour of the risoners. In the name of
humanity and expedieecy, these mes it is generally
thought, should not be made to suffer the extreme
penalty. And as for the infinitesimal mercy of
"dispensing with the ancient aomessories of exeou-
tion.for high treason," people compare it with the
recent release of Jefferson Davis on hail, the general
amnesty accorded to his amociates, and the lenient
view now taken of political offanoes in all Ploropeen
countries., eteept perhaps Russia and impale, to
neither of which we should go for an example.
Besides, the Canadian raiders were at least as bad as
the Fenian prisoners in Ireland; and if one of the
latter is executed will not the world eay that the
former were spared through the timidity of Great
Britain, on the rentosetnnce of the United
States?

The Rev. R. Headland, rector of Bincombe cnin
Broadway, writes to us as follows
"I have now mid an opportunity of reeding in woos
the late unhappy charge delivered to no by the Bishop
of this Diocese, and I would feel thankful if you would
give me a little space in your columns to make • ailesui,
open, and public protest against such teaching. I feel
bound to ray that the charge when read seem, more un-
scriptural, and more opposed to our Formularies and
Articles than when hosed —re I beard it—in fragments,
and that imperfectly,
Such doctrine—l allude especially to his lordship's
teaching about the "Conmiemoratire fiacrifice"—leads
distinctly and by • very exert road to thaw " Bacrilioes
of Masses" which our Church has pronounced in her
Articles to be " blaspliemdus &Mee and dangerous
deoeits," end, if it were @tarried to its legitimate conse-
quences, we should 'rituals the worship of a wheaten
God in our parish churches, the light of the Reforms.
tioa would be and we should become
Papiste without the ope, and probably so, without
him for long.
I do not wish to introdime too much of theological
discussion into the columns of a newspaper; but in
taking so decided a step as publicly to join those who
have already protested sesdnat this charge—and I have
"mitten to the Bishop to inform him that I shall thus
publicly preheat—l am in duty bound to state, as briefly
as possible, my reasons for eo acting.
I earnestly exhort also my brethren, both of the clergy
and of the laity, to join, if possible, in some firm and
, united action, which wit show clearly to our Bishop
how very distasteful sun teaphim is to us that we
are determined so/sr as is as lies that the light once in
Goers mercy lighted by ocr Martyred Reformers in this
realm and Church of England, shall, in old letimer's
words, never be put out.
We ought, as it seems m me, to suffer no personal
affection, such as that whials I bear to our Bishop, to
stand in our way, but as B. Paul did with fi- Peter, to
withstand him to the face."

The Rey. Isaac Smith Litchfield, for 26 years past
the rector of Rockland Ripen, has protested against
the Bishop's charge in these emphatic terms :
" Underetanding from your charge that you
state that God has given to ciertals men roper-
natural powers to work miracles, and to make snob s
change in the elements of bread and wine in the Lord's
Supper Ls is equivalent to Transubstantiation, I beg to
say that! consider such doctrines as absolutely blasphe-
mous, and Ity implisation idolatrous, equally afrorianos
with Scripture and wad& reason, impossible in them-
selves (at least with respect to the latter), sod theiefore
impossible to be believed, offensive in the highest degree
to the enlightened understandings and pious feelings
both of Protestant Churchmen and of all simple-minded
Bible Christians; and that, however ye" may be blind
to the feet or innocent in your intentions, the propound-
ing of them as you have done is a daring insult to those
whom you have addressed. Whatever steps may be
taken in the ease by the clergy of this Diocese, I esonot
refrain from making this solemn distention in the
sight of God and publi to shing It in duty others.
I I
declare it to se my plain opinion, that while you preach
such doctrines as these, which are of the very assents
of &monism, you are unfit for your °Moe, end ought
either to resign or to be deposed. Indeed, I do not
know how, under such eireninstanees, I could &Arnow.
ledge you as my legal superior."

"At the luncheon which followed the re-opening
of the church the Bishop made several short speeches.
not one of which hinted at the slightest objection to
anything that had been done. Ou the contrary, 'when
he looked Nam that gnuid old Church, and compared
it with what it hal been, he thanked Clod for the work
which they had been enabled to accomplish. He moat
acknowledge the great services rendered by the vicar of
that place. He never would have been able to
accomplish so much, but for the audacity of his noble
daring, which had been blessed in their church restore

We can but admire the way in which he managed
to get a Mors unwary brother to do what be did not
like to do himeelf, and so advertised the book
without oompromislng bias:elf. As to the effect on
his own diocese we read :

"The diocese loin every agitated state. Alaiming
rumours circulate even in the most remote villages, to
the effect that the Church of England is going back
to Rome. At Bloxham, as has been already seen, •
Wesleyan Chapel, capable of containing 400 persons, is
about to be erected; and many members of the
Established Church, who cannot reconcile themselves to
the manner in which the Church Services are now per-
formed, are contributing largely to the building fuud.
It appears from • recently published correspondence
between the Bishop and one of the principal inhabitants
(Mr. Fortescue), that several members of the congre.
otion of the Parish Church of Banbury 'have already
ined dissenting congregations;• and that other. are
likely to follow their example, if certain alterations
recently made in the services are persisted in."
