LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2.

LORD PALMILUTON will in a few days have
another Bishopric at his disposal and we should be
sorry to be forced to believe that his late appoint-
meats have been wholly fortuitous. It may very
possibly be that amid his peat avocations he bad as
little time as he had inclination to turn his attention
to questions which he might have supposed inte-
rested few except theologians, or that did more thin
roftli the mere surisce of misty, He may have
been hitherto, without much blame to himself, little
aware of what greet interests are at stake, and how
the deepest feelings of the British community are
involved in the issue of that contest in whisk two
great prieciples are now contending face to bee far
mastery. As First Minister of the Crown, however,
Lord PALNUSTON ought to learn that the penes-
nonce of the Establishment, and, what is of infinitely
greater oommequence, the complexion which Chair
Unity is to retain in England, will, tinder Ooro,
mainly depend on the kind of men the Crown shall
for some time to come be advised to raise to the
Episcopate. _ _ _

Hitherto o the appointments withal Lccd PAL3Me
now hes recommended to the Quin have been sash
as hare *tidied every clams of °Odes exespt that
which, maintaining its dishonest position within the
Church, threatens it with more dupes than it has to
apprehend from the mere avowed hostility al New
conformity. We trust we are act wrong when from
these appointments we draw the inference that up to
this time Lord PcLatzasros has meted cm a settled
plan. The question is, Will le now panne it, sad be
oonsistent in it P

• No ens will, indeed. suspect Lord PALMERSTON of
beading, with the :eel of a partisan, the tame doe'
bled views as Bishops Vitians Sod BAILING, or of
advocating, like some of the Low Church party, an
asters abstinence hoes social piessans ; and no one
would be more ready, we are certain, than his loci-
ship to recoil with antipathy from the narzow-eluded
uncharitabknem in which the ergs= at the school to
which those two surliest prelates belong age
=fortunately far; too pea to indulge. it fine
two Bishops had simply been a rig's= loge if
the evangelical clergy 'sassily, we abseil has
regretted their promotion. Bat Dr. TIMMS and
Dr. BARING are both far merits to theft Wool :
they are well born, bred up amen large-hearted men
of the world, and have imbibed in the aisles with
'Web they have bees familiar every maxim of
telersas, consideration for other, generosity, sad
justice. Lard Pstirnerox meld sot but has bess
aware of these qualities is these gentlemen, and we
trust—as we believe—that he was glad to have so
opportunity of evincing by their seketion his own
wide &Moreno* In opinion from than who, by their
sacerdotal pretensions, are fast beiges' the Church
into contempt and Christianity itself into some danger.
We may have apprehenskes that Dr. TUT may
not have the Brazes to =kaki his own views, bet
his solstice stnegthees the sonvietioa at which we
are most dears' to arrive, that Lord PALmearron
bas seen what the condition of public *plaice sad
the exigencies of the Church require from him ; and
we hope earnestly that be will be rightly guided
or waisted in tarrying oat the views which he
appears so sincerely to entertain for the benefit of
the Church. We doubt not that be is sincerely de-
sirous to promote men who shall sot be Wed path
ass, sad who shall partake, so fez as they may in
consistency with their allegiance to the Chula of
Basked, of the opinions called Broad. We
woos in that feeling. The public, we are
has no wish whatever tease =a advanced who slab
be eggradve astroversialists, who as Weal le
goes enclusicas and lines of conduct, or wileeleimer
tuitions brawlers. Boilicient for the day is the RUM
thereof. Bat it may be feared that Lord Paismamon
may be unwittingly misled. Too many are intended
in misleading him. Some of set purpose, sad some
of stupidity, will be urging him to ignore the cents=
and struggles of the day, to shun the promotion of
man of too declared a colour, sad to select those of
aratral tint.

Now, neutrality is far too often mistakes far MO.
&ration or liberality. It is mob more frequently
the result of conscious and contented ignorance, or of
a mind careless of the questions and interests at tens.
If it derive the advantage from its dulness of being
unintended in divinities dominion, it is peaty apt
to overlook anon of conduct. Sometimes, too, neu-
trality is the consequence of eredidoes good-natan. and
booms* the unwitting instrument of misokid in the
hands of any specious knave who an find it in his
heart to gall the ansescreting optimist. Mush may
he said for the intelligent and charitable disciple of
that, in the slang of the day, obtains the deelgsaSoa
of Negative Theology, hat that dame stedeats mut
not far a moment be conlbunded with the proem=
of "No Theology," sash es rawer tells as we are
threatened with in the See about toluene vacant.
We call on Lord Paussedoir foe the peomotion
damn of robust minds and of exact °piddle, men welt
versed in ecolesiastiod learning, versed as well
in the inculcation and maintenanoe of practical
religion, not celebrities of the Univenities,
nor men who have been spending the best years
ot their UM on a work foreign to the defies of the
ministry of the Church, and whom minds, amid
szeminaSons and the business of eehools, have
berme sesularhed. We want skilled p►eachers,
skilled workmen, from their own abundant experi-
ence able to assist and counsel others, true children ot
as noble, pure, and general a Church es Christendom
has yet nen, inheritors of the old have spirit ot the
Reformation—moderate men, liberal men f but of
that true moderation which comes of true liberality,
and does not forego firming* and decision, while it
qualifies them for spiritual leadership by the habit
which it engenders of just and patient referees* to the
infirmities of their fellow-creatures, whether in eon-
diet ur opinion. From men of amalgam character,
or tram neutral men, we expect the Crown to defend
the country and its Church.
