LONDON, THURSDAY, NO MYRRH 13.

Tax general question of Episcopal resignatioas is
now, owing to the age, the infirmities, sad the wishes
of several of our Prelates, in a state requiring
sole-
tioo. And yet it has hardly resolved that relied.
nary dissamion and thorough examination which are
so necessary to a satisfactory decision apes it. It
jut one of thus gaietiess which ought not to be
tattled under the pressure of personal oossideratioe&
if properly treated, it might be made a substantial
ketri..:!!".! to ecclesiastical reform f u
treated it is certain to prove a soarer of ecclesiastical
scandal. Let u try, then, if we cannot arrive at some
general principles likely to lead to a correct mope.-
hension of that which is needful in the cutter.

It is, we will assume, plain that Bishops who for
sufficient reasons are willing to resign their dimness
ought to have the opportunity of resigning, and that
those who ought, bat who are unwilling, to resign
should be oompelled to do so. The law is, no doubt.
that Bishops, if so minded, may resign, but, as the
law does not provide them with mins on resig-
nation, it practically does not afford them such an
opportunity of resignation as it is reasonable to
exposit them to take. The law also is—as settled by
the 6 and 7 Vitt., chap. 62—that substitutes may
be provided foe Bishops labouring under mental
incapacity.
In the first cue, that of Bishops who are disposed
to resign, moderate and sufficient pensions ought
clearly to be provided, and the quantum of the retiring
pensious ought, on general principles, and in con-
formity with thensual practice in such matters, taboos
relation to the net income enjoyed under incumbency,
and to the length of incumbency. The question of
quantum is, however, a matter we are not at provost
going to disuse. In providing peados' at all, there
is this danger, that some Bishops might be too desi-
rous of resignisg; jest as thus are Judges who con-
ceive themselves entitled to retire after their 16 years'
service on their full pensions, although net disquali-
fied by any permanent sit:Anus or disability. Clearly,
then, security most b 3 taken that no pension shall be
granted except under the authority of, say the Great
Beal. and after such examination into the Oilel2l.
statues and report to the Crown as the LORD CRAW
alum may deem it geneses:7 to institute.
In the second cue—that of incapable Bishops—
more than mental infirmity ought to be provided for,
—the on ly eue contemplated in the Act before referred
to. Moreover, the provisions of that statute are so
clumsy and absurd, that it requires entire remodel-
ling. Foe example, another capable Bishop is to be
appointed to do the additional duties of the incapable
Bishop. The appointee is to be paid—at the diger*
Rios of a third spiritual person, who fa his turn is'
to take ears of the temporalities of the seo—o sum
not exceediog one-sixth of their amount; and the
earplug has to accumulate on behalf of the incapable
Bishop, until he recover his faculties or depart this
life.

Once admit by legislation the principle dredger
tion and pension, and this superstructure mast of
course fall to the pound. Otherwise we should
have the flagrant absurdity of a WORT pecuniary pee-
vision for Bishops without their wits than for Bishops
with them, and the dioceses of the former would be
placed by law in a worse position then the dioceses
of the latter.
Here, se in the other case, a flied pension ought
to be provided for the incapable Bishop. A new
Bishop ought to be appointed sad the shelved
Bishop, if he recover, left to enjoy the raisers cum &ra-
ked. Retirement is the proper sphere for every one
who 0009 having been deprived of his mental fuel-
ties, has been restored to them. PASCAL, when he
recovered, prayed eloquestly sad fervently for the
sake of his soul, to be re-precipitated into inesponsi-
bility. All that we desire is, that Bishops in those
circeenstinees should not have the responsibility of
dioceses re cut on them.
Bet how pay the pensions? That is the great
question. The answer, of eases, is, from the Reds-
siutical Fend. If Bishops be neamsery to the Al-
delay of the Cenral', that *Heine, ought tot to b%
sacrificed to the intense rooks of Lord BLrathroato
and his friends for the propagation of poor mates-
And to expect psy meat tram any other SOWN WOW
be childish.

The strength of Lord BLANDTORDII party sad odor
difficulties asset not, however, be overiooksd. Fee it
is jut here that the (pestles al *ego* rssipatioa
and of episcopal pensions wawa tato eallislow with tie
question of the multipliattioa of bishops. aid we way
io coast quenco have a penal atisearrior if we do
am oxemais • little pelisses mid kemight. Addl.

dotal bishops ran &Wooly be paid out of the/Wades. I
tical Food ; and already that fund has quits enough
. .

to bear. To attempt to get out of it both:-salaries for
new and additional Bishops and pensions for retiring
Bishops—is absolutely and oertainly to fail as to one
of the two, and is in fact to court defeat for both
purposes. Here then we molt make a choice.
The Government ought, therefore, to make up its
mind to select either the one project or the other.
Now we have no hesitation in urging that the pre•
foresee should be given to the pensioning of unfit
b!shops. Let the Cabinet forego the scheme of carving
new dioceses out of London or Durham. The former is
really one of the most manageable dioceses in England.
It is small and compact in area; an hour and a halt's
drive will cony its bishop to its most distant parts;,
its clergy are not numerous, but are well organised ;
its laity are accustomed to conduct their own parochial
and charitable affairs, and are thoroughly well up';
in voluntary habits ; its ordinary episcopal business
can be easily transacted in morning calls in St.
James's-square. Its strictly diocesan work is, in
truth, small. Its great work is its accidental work.
That is, the Bishop of LONDON, being always in or
sear the metropolis, is subject to every kind of
reference from the Church Societies having head-I
quarters in London, from the Government, and from
old women of both estrus; but that is no just ground
for a division of a diocese not large or otherwise I
troublesome.

If, however, we Londoners are to have more
Bishops forced on ns—if confirmations are really gaol
onerous a work that one Bishop of London cannot
get through them pleasantly and agreeably, and if
they are so grave a matter that Deans or Arch-
deocona cannot he allowed to confirm, even under
episcoptl, deputations, why not raise Weatnistutsr into
on archbishopric and ands it with Caniarbaryt By
giving to the united archbishopric the oars of a lugs
part of the parishes on the northern and all those on
the southern bank of the Thames, the question of the
London episcopate would be easily and satisfactorily
settled. Lambeth Palace is within a stone's throw of
Westminster Abbey. The Archbishop resides there
many months of the year, especially the confirming
months; daring the rest he is within twenty minutes'
railway drive of Addington. The diocese of Canter-
bury is very small; to give him this metropolitan
work would usefully fill up bleepers time; this plan
involves not a farthing more expense; it is one of
thorough ecclesiastical reform; and, looked at from
that point of view, would receive the support of the
great balk of the Liberal Party; whereas a division
of Loadon can only be carried by Tory moistened,.
As to Durham, the useful way of proceeding there
le equally obvious. Give further slime in the south
to Ripon, and add all the North Tyne to Carlisle.
But to met up a new Bishop in North Northumber-
land, when the Church, as Sir Games their. can tall
his oolleepse, is in a minority, and where Presbyte-
rianism and Independency largely prevail over Epi-
scopacy, might be very agreeable to the molly
gentlemen and clergy, bat would be of no real nes to
the Church, on which it would operate as a heavy
pecuniary Wass.

It is thus apparent that this seemingly minor
question of Episcopal Resignations really opens up
the whole area of Reolesiastieal Reform, and doing so,
Ira pet L PALMUNTOK Cabinet fairly to the test,
on one great subject.
