LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 22.

IN suffering a numerical defeat on his motion for a
public inquiry into the circumstances attending the
institution of the Rev. .1. W. BENNErr to the benefice
of Frome Selwood, Mr. Holum...re has substantially
gained another success. For, in averting public in-
gen.'', three cabinet ministers (two of them Secre-
taries of State) have undertaken, with the full and
entire approbation of the House of Commons, to sub-
stitute a friendly investigation; and the CHANCEL-
Loa of the EXCHEQUF.II, has admitted that, maiming
the bets to be as represented and the law to afford
ere remedy for the intrusion of a semi-Romanist
peisa on a protestant cure of souls, legislation must

the benefice of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge. Ilso sow
scquenoca of that institution were that those aphis=
and doctrines of which the Bishop had tics_y warn-

The first remark in this state of facts relates to
the eemduct of the Bishop. In England alone, el

Hence it is appesimett that where two 'ign are
wiling, nothing is osier than to elude en protec-
tion intended to be given to the laity *him two
canons. What, therefore, is wanted are ether some
means of restricting episcopal authority in this
respect, or of reposing some power of self-protection
in ishionen themselves.
Secretary Sir Jolts PAISINGTON stated (without
showing) that in this matter the Bishoji.of Lonuon's
conduct had been blainekos ; and mr. llonsass
said the report was that the Bishop had endorsed
the certificate of his three beneficed clergy that
Mr. Basiirrr had, during the last three years
he was in the diocese, been a faithful ',mis-
ter of the church, to the effect that their
signatures were genuine only. But the prac-
tice under the 49th canon, is for a bishop to require
of his presentee a km decessit of his last ordinary.
Did Mr. Dv+ NM' carry to Wells such a document 1
from Fulham.? And if not, why did Dr. BAGoT, in
this ease. where the parishioners had remonstrated,
dispense with that document? There is, in the dis-
cussion, a hiatus here, which Dr. BLOMPIELD ought, '
in mercy to his own reputation, to supply.
Nothing in Mr. HUSSMAN'S speech was more
admirable than its comprehensive spirit; he never
once infringed on the principles of toleration.
The church has always been accustomed to
