LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20.

DUHLAKLI, who never mime an opportunity
ai correcting a " popular delusion," lately dwelt
in a public speech on the singular prevalence of the
notion that the Church of England is • rich
Church : the fact being that it is a poor Church.
Certainly, we can remember some things which
favour the right honourable gentleman's opinion—
advertisements for cast-off coats, waistcoats, and
trousers, for which needy curates and even rectors
would be very thruakful. Very recently we have
been told, on high authority, that the Church can-
not any longer afford a lemma ministry.
We are not surprised to find even Tory jour-
nalists under such circumstances propounding plans
for • general levelling, and threatening those
who enjoy the good things of the Church with re-
volution. Without going to extremes, we may take
advantage of an incident reported in our colurfins
yesterday to point out one direction in which a
more equitable adjustment of the Church's re-
venues may be made. A new Archbishop of
CANTIREWLY has just been enthroned, and one of
the first things we hear of about him is • prose-
cution of a labourer for invading his " game pre-
" serves." The labourer is committed to gaol,
where he will probably remain for six months. It is
the law, and we are not disposed to question the
j Intim of the sentence. But certainly it seems hard
that the ARCHBISHOP, with so many calls on his
purse, should have to maintain keepers abiding
in the wood keeping watch over his pheasants by
night. If the archiepiscopal estates were pru-
dently diminished, the proceeds of • sale would
probably suffice to build • dozen churches, while a
corresponding reduction of his Grace's salary would
set at liberty funds wherewith to endow as many
livings in poor populous parishes, still leaving
the ARCIIIIIIHOP in possession of an income which
would keep apostolic poverty far out of sight. At all
events the public met not be afflicted with stories
of ecclesiastical distress in the same page which
tells of church preserves of bares and pheasants.

THE family which furniehes Egypt with Viceroys
appears to be peculiarly liable to sudden death.
SAID Pam..., like Assay Fames., his nephew and
predeoemor, has unexpectedly disappeared from
the some.

SAID TACNA, born in 1822, was the fourth lOU
of the celebrated Mamma Az ; his mother warn
a Circaselan. He was educated for the sea service,
and was residing at Alexandria as Grand Admiral
of the Fleet when he was celled to the viceregal
throne He had a keen appreciation of the advan-
tages of the material part of European civilizatioo,
and in his home government took care to avoid
the errors which made his predecessor con-
temptible. The Porte found him faithful
and friendly, and in the early part of his reign he
employed himself in reforming abuses in his own
government. Of late, under the temptation of
loans too easily procured, his expenditure has been
lavish, and without corresponding advantage to the
country. Samt Pacnx is succeeded by his nephew,
the son of lisakarm TACNA. The new VICZROT
is about 46 years of epos man of practical skill,
who, if he will do as much for Egypt as he has
done for his own estates, may soon raise that
country to a high degree of prosperity.

THE Data or SAID PiONA.—Aft soon as the
death of the Viceroy of rept wee known in Liverpool. the
flag was hoisted half mast ow the Town•hall, and regret wee
generally sweated, se the dammed had always talon

and his yachts were built at that port.

At the annual meeting of the Bradford Chamber
of Commerce, held yesterday, a report was read which
warmly congratulated the chamber on the conclusion of the
treaty with Belgium. The full operation of the treaty will
not take place till October, 1864, when woollen goods will
be subject to an ad valorem' duty of 10 per cent., in the
umantinse the duties are 15 per met Much stress was laid
upon a letter published by the council, which, it was al-
leged, bad " materially minted in the speedy conclusion of
the treaty."

It is announced that a submarine cable has just
been macesedally laid by Yams. Glass, Elliot, and Co., be.
tame the port of Cagliari, ie the Island of Sardinia, and
Trapani, in Sicily--a length of 200 miles.

The assistant-ambler of the Hull Banking Com-
pary was charged at the Hull polices court, yesterday, with
embezzling the large sum of 3,1631. The prisoner's same is
John Henry North, and it appears that he has bees in it..
employ of the company for twenty years. By his own se-
count the embezzlements have extended over a period of
fourteen years, the proceeds being applied to the education
of his family, and the supply of his lames in railway ape.
