LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY,

o' Clock.

As all that has reference to the appointment of Dr.
Hampden to the see of Hereford, is at present exciting
.r. much attention, we append some selections, which
' will be perused with interest. The following is an
extract of a letter, dated Trentham, December 18,
' widsb kis grace the Duke of Sutherland has ad-
, iremed to the Rev. Dr. Bowled, vicar of Stanton
; . Lacy. His grace, after expressing his great malaise-
' non with the appointment of Dr. Hampden, says:
I happen to have moans of knowing that when LordOres-
rill* appointed Dr. Hampden to St. Mary Hall, he was not
sequinted personally with Woo, but collected to the beet of
his power the opinion of the varsity at that time, when ,
Dr. Hampden's lectures had already been for some months '
before the public.
The preponderance of opinion was greatly in his favour.
Some of those who have since been moat bitterly violent
then recommended him.
I believe that no disapprobation was expressed until the
paldisetion of his pamphlet in favour of the admission of die-
'." NOM is the urivenity.
' I have written this from feeling sure that it will be liter-
' alai to you to know the opinion of such an authority as
' End Grenville, and you may make any nee of the informa-
tion I am thus able to give you that may seem desirable.
Very truly yours, SUTHERLAND.
The Rev. J. Bowles, D.D., Stanton Lacy, Ludlow.
We annex some extracts from a letter recently ad-
dressed to the Convocation of Oxford:
The proposed actclress nom the clergy and laity of Oxford
to Dr. Hampden (which has been sent to me), the printed
papers accompanying it, and the general language used by
kis advocates, appear to me to place the University in a posi-
tion most painful to contemplate. The plain, manly, straight-
forward course to have pursued at the present juncture
woad, in my judgment, have been to say, whatever may
have been the ophoons of Dr. Hampden in 1836, or when
, his Hampton Lectures were preached or puplithed, the views
he has maintained and the statements he has made in his
seherquent teachings and writings, prove to our satisfaction
that he is round in the faith. The condemnatory statute of
1836, by the clause, " donee 'liter Univereitati placuerit,"
Beall contemplates the possibility or probability of its
. spoil. Let it now be repealed. I, for one, voted,
Mil did more than vote, for its enactment, in justice
~ to the church and university, and I will now gladly
. VTits repeal, in justice to Dr. Hampden. A vote
nation is the legal, authorised, and customary ex-
of the opinions of the university, and must'
• regardedie as the solemn and authoritative declaration of
its judgment and will, and as such binding upon all its mem-
bers—just as • law enacted by a majority of votes in parlia-
ment ia binding upon the whole realm ; and individual
members of Convocation are bound by honour and duty (not
to change their own opinion', but) to submit their own will
and judgment to that of the University, and to seek a change
in that, if they think it ought to be changed, by legitimate
methods. But what do we now awe ? Members of the
University uniting to cry down i 6 authority. proclaiming

render some of Its highest powers a mere nullity, and to
prove that its praise and amsure are both utterly valuelege—

veloped, are drastiog unjust inferences, in order to fin a
stigma on the proceedings of 1836, and on ell who took a
part in them. Bet is Dr. Hampden infallible? And busies
hen now right, does it follow that he was always right ? Wu
not the subject of his Hampton Lectures an obscure subject?
Did his mode of speaking sever partake of that obscurity?
Wee there no possibility that his own views might then have
been far from clear ? May not fresh light have since broken
in upon him ? Might not others, then, have perceived snot
or danger where he did not perceive it ? And if these things
be se, what disgrace would it have been to Dr. Hampden.--
would it not rather have won for him the praise of a humblifl
and noble spirit, to have confessed that he might have loft 1
wroug, and to have made at leant a conditional
of what (though unintentionally and unconsciously on '
rule"
part) wen false or erroneous in the judgment? Ho boo
effect said, " I do not hold any opinions at variance Vl
the fundamental truths of Christianity u taught is tits
authorised formularies of the church of 'England, nor did I'
ever intend to impugn them." How easy it would have
been to have added, " If to the mind of any candid inquirer
I appear to have done ao, I solemnly disclaim such opinions,
and retract every statement which may convey such a
meaning, as far at the meaning is concerned." And if
Dr. Hampden would yet act in this manner, as instead of
saying, as ho still does (in 1837), " I see no reason for
changing a single opinion, or retracting a single state.
meat" I am persuaded it would do more to allay the present I
ferment, to inspire confidence, and give peace to the church,
than all the other words and acts of clergy and laity, or even
ministers of state, spoken and done in an opposite spirit
ad thus would his elevation to the episcopate be rendered
a source of comfort and honour to himself, and usefulness to
the church, such as, otherwise, it cannot be.

CHARLES RICHARD CAMERON, M.A., Ch. Ch.
December 21.
The annexed petition to her Majesty, from the clew
and laity of Hereford, is at present in the course et
signature :
We, the undersigned clergy and laity of the diocese of
Hereford approach your Majesty with mingled veneration
end attachment, to express oar alarm at the efforts which
are now being made to interfere with the free exercise of
the royal prerogative in the ancient and undoubted right of
appointment to vacant bishoprics.
We believe that this most insidious attempt to destroy per
Majesty's free agency se head and supreme ruler, under God
of the national church, is pregnant with danger, whethit;
considered in respect of its immediate and avowed object, ter
in regard to its collateral consequence' on the fundamental
laws of our church polity.
We are unfeignedly impressed with the vital importunes
of maintaining our church government in its entirety, mod
we therefore deeply deplore the conduct of those amongst
the hierarchy and inferior clergy, whose present proceed-
bogs are calculated lb first suspend, and then abolish, that
branch of the royal prerogative to which the church owes
its security, lied the uncontrolled exercise of which is mess-
tial to the protection and preservation of the union of church
and state.
We are the more alarmed because the originators sad
abettors of the opposition to your Majesty's appointment et
Doctor Hampden to the see of Hereford belong principally
tiot.a.J.ara,ilsnit atilly of
ose who
mmhfave 7yeedreemdatino fnhotaincrbich of
arch
of England are noted for their attachment to Romisk
doctrines, rite., and ceremonies, and seek to revive the
-stem of intellectual despotism and degradation which the
Reformation was the great instrument of undermining and
demolishing.
We, therefore, humbly pray your Majesty not to be in-
fluenced by those who are endeavouring to convulse and
disorganise the church by appealing to prejudice and mis-
conception, and who seek to " Darken counsel by words
without knowledge."
According to the Morning Post, a memorial
against the appointment of Dr. Hampden, pur-
porting to be from the clergy of the diocese, was
on Tuesday presented to the Dean and Chapter
of Hereford; and it is added that the de-
putation who brought up the memorial were most
courteously received, and were assured that " the
dean and chapter deeply felt the importance of the
subject, and were resolved on dealing with the ques-
tion in a manner which they had no doubt would be
generally accept able to the church." From this me-
morial we annex some extracts, remarking, however,
that the Post does not profess to give the actual docu-
ment, bat says that it was " to the following effect":
To the Very Rev, the Dean, and the Rev. the Chapter
of the Cathedral Church of Hereford, the following me-
morial of the clergy of that diocese is humbly submitted :
"The church is looaing anxiously to you, and cannot with-
hold its prayers that you may be enabled in this, as in all
other caws, to exercise that right judgment in all things
which the trying circumstances of the day demand on your
account. A more fearful crime for the safety and integrity
of your venerable body than the nomination of Dr. Hampden
to the vacant throne in your cathedral has not ooeurred since
111, feu 1721, when your predecessors in Otos acquiesced
