LONDO.V, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30.

Mr. Drsisov has hat no time in letting the church
know his remarkable unfitness fur the post to which
the Ilishep of BATU and WLLLS has appointed him.
As if the Christian world were in ignorance of the
invincible bigotry which he has always displayed
upon the two subjects of religion and education, he
has just issued a kind of profession of faith, in the
form of two sermons, with a preface and appendix,
in which he writes himself down in such characters
as those who run may read. It is a kind of defiance
to the feelings of the moderate portion of the church
On the subject of his appointment. It seems to say,
" Look at me! Am I note proper person to be ap-
pointed archdeacon of a diocese at a time when
the
church is turn with dissensions and sighing fur peace?
1 have just now flung my little squib (in
bumble imitation of the great Exeter-Roman
candle) at the Archbishop, I have squeaked out an
excommunication against the spiritual head of the
church, and now you shall see what I will do with
your (duration. Not a mother's son of you shall be
educated by us, if the ungodly laity presume to have
a fraction of a finger in the pie."
These two sermons were preached at the opening of
the Derby Sunday sthools, and contain nothing remark-
able ; the true Iknisonian venom comes out in the pre-
face, and the bigotry in the appendix, which contains
a "plan for combining state assistance with safety of
chunk education is remarkable. In other words, it is
a scheme for dipping into the public purse without
being accountable for the money taken. With the
preface we shall have nothing to do. It contains
vituperation, in the true DLNisosi style, of the Man-
chester and Salford scheme of education ; imputation
of all sorts of wicked motives to the Committee of
Council, and some inflated commonplaces about the
wickedness of " selling the catholic faith for gold."
The appendix is the only part of this pugnacious
priest's production with which we shall trouble our
readers. The following is an extract from his " plan
for combining state assistance with safety of
church education."

The Ilona• of Commons votes annually& sum of money for
educational purposes.
That money is part of a revenue collected from a people
of many different forms of reliaious belief, and it is voted
by a hody of corresponding character.
In returning it therefore to the people, the several sources
from which it is drawn have all to be considered and cared
for by their representatives.

might be called the fundamental law of the settle-
ment of Egypt, if they foresaw that the PACILA of
that country was to be virtually independent.
In the interpretation of the letter of that law the
SULTAN is indubitably right, however it may be felt
that his so straining or interpreting it is unjust to
the PASITA, and not to be enforced without such a
degradation of the authority and dignity necessary
to hie maintenance, as a descendant 01 MEHEMET
ALI MIS not likely to endure. The demands of the
Turkish government are now unreasonable, and
would amount to prohibiting the construction
of a mead altogether. But then it is to be con-
signedi that these are demands made, al) irato, in
MAWR or retaliation to conduct on the part of
Egmt, amounting to a denial of Turkish suzerainty.
duty of the Foreign Minister of England is
indubitably to prevent this foolish quarrel from
going further by reconciling these jarring preten-
sions which divide the two Mahomedan powers,
more on a question of etiquette than any thing else.
It may be all very well and very easy to say, let us
support the PACHA in making a railroad, and defy
the Porte ; no doubt England can do so ; but
such policy must lead to a total destruction of our
influence at Constantinople and to the dismissal of
those ministers, who are attached to England, and to
its ideas of Turkish independence, based upon im-
provements and reforms.
RESCIIID PACIIA is no doubt very powerful, and
his influence has been increased by the marriage of
his eon with a daughter of the SULTAN. Sir STRAT-
FORD CANNING'S personal influence and address are
also very great. But let it not be supposed that
even the present ministers of the SULTAN believe
England to be more disinterested than other
powers. The countries in the East with
which England has had most intimate re-
lations, have been subjected by Englishmen;
and commercial friendship or diplomatic connexion
has in general been followed b
by political subjuga-
tion. That there are pa rties in England, which
desire the possession of Egypt, is well known at the
Porte, and is whispered there by every foreign
diplomatist, French, as well as German and Russian.
Our behaviour, consequently, in the Egyptian ques-
tion will be regarded with the utmost jealousy and
suspicion at Constantinople ; and the Russian
party will not fail to take advantage of it, by
assuring the SULTAN that Queen VICTORIA enter-
tains the idea of appropriating Egypt in a much
more imminent degree than Russia entertains the
thought of appropriating any territories on the Ilanube.
All Turks, or at least all Turkish statesmen, are full of
suspicion, which, if we back up the Pacha of EGYPT
against the SULTAN, not all the influence or eloquence
of Sir STRATFORD CANNING can dispel.
It may be said that there is little danger of war—
that Turkey may threaten, but has no force to send,
and that the batteries of the Egyptian coast are
quite sufficient to deter any project of invasion. I
ARRAS PACO*. will return an answer of defiance to
the SULTAN'S ultimatum. The SULTAN may, in IMF
turn, proclaim the WchCanre or dethronement at
ABBAS PACIIA, but he can no longer send an execu-
tioner to strangle, or an army to dethrone him.
This may be quite satisfactory to ABBAS,
whom it establishes in perfect independence of the
Porte. But whilst this opens a railroad
to our Indian communication, it renders the Turkish

Admirable, the reader will say, but surely this
cannot ho Mr. DENLiON who is writing. This
liberal doctrine of the proper appropriation of public
money to public purposes never came forth from
Fast Brent. If so, a change has come over the
spirit of the reverend author. Wait a moment. The
enemy of mankind it is well known has a large
stock of scriptural phrases at command when scrip-
ture itself is to be opposed, and the enemy of en-
lightened education ha., no objection against the use
of a liberal profession or two, when they serve to
!mink his approaches against liberal institutions.
Here is the startling nom sequitur which comes in as
a requel to the suspicious liberalism of the preceding :

11114 it b. to be observed here that under no circumstances
ought a Fr evcrnateut board, or even parliament, to claim the
right to control or regulate, directly or indirectly, either Me
winner or £he manner of education ; and that, `besides the
general and permanent objection to the exercise of any such
control or regulation on the part of parliament or govern-
ment, there exists a partirniat objection in the fact that
parlicinent is composed, and government may at any time
be composed, of persons holding various forms of belief.

Divan Itus.sian, and puts an immediate extinguisher
on every reform or every progress at Constantinople.
Moreover, it awakens all the old jealousies enter-
tained in 1810 by France, and in which the despotic
powers fully sympathise and join. In the renewal
of this antagonism, there is abundant material for
getting up in France an excitement against Eng-
land—an excitement that might be made to
secure the election of the Prince DE JOIN VILLE,
and make one of the conditions of that
election his active resistance to English views upon
Egypt or policy in Egypt. Even Loris NAPOLEON,
in combating the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, would be
obliged to proclaim and even act forthwith on that
policy, which was required to secure popularity.
And hence would ensue a series of difficulties and
compli cations, which it is sufficient to point at with-
out enumerating.
We should say this to all parties, put an end to
this quarrel as speedily and as completely as you
can. There is danger, there are the elements of war
in it ; and there is no security for the future. In
tho unstable state of all Oriental countries, the
English might make a railroad to-day, and might be
ousted from it to morrow. And they might find
converted into the means of obstruction and extor-
tion an enterprise from which they had naturally
hoped increased facilities, speed, and economy of

The liberal flourish, therefon•,about the considera-
tion of the " sources from which the money for educa-
tional sources is drawn," terminates in this, that go-
'moment having drawn the money from these
sources, has nothing to du but distribute it blindfold,
and is delivered from all responsibility .to the said
sources, inasmuch as when the money is out of its
hands, it has no right to inquire or exercise any con-
trol over its duo distribution. Now, to us nothing
rtcuw more clear than this, that government is re-
swiisible to the nation for the due employment of
t&• sums that it draws from it prolissoilly for cduca-
tinted purptsses. The nation has a right to say to
the government, if we are mulcted yearly fur the
education of the poor, take care that our money is
duly applied. Mr. Dm/mix says, No ; give us
your money, and then open your mouth and
shut your i:,cs mid KV what Gnu will send you
in the shape of education. Experience tells
us that all the education we should then get would
be literally a Ged-send. The process by which the
church is to participate in the division of the public
tax, sis delightfully simple. Founders and suppor-
ters of schools am to make application to the
LiNhop, and the bishop is to make his representations
to the government, to the effect
That a certain sum in aid is required for the maintenance
of trailliag schools, whether situate in, or i.taliledied in
cosinesion with, the diocese. That a certain sum in aid is
!squired fur the purpose of maintaining an alb:lent diocesan
inspection.
We arc then told—
The proper business of the depsrtimmt of government to
which the distribution of the edue :glom' grant was en-
trusted would he sissy/se to meet this representation by an
annual gnat of money to the bishop, to be transmitted to the
parties, ne.

Extremely simple indeed. But what guarantee
Las the public that this plan shall work honestly as
well as simply? Mr. ItExisox proposes an annual
return to parliament of the expenditure and the
annual certificate of the diocesan inspector. That is
to say, that the whole knowledge of how the money
is spent within the consecrated precincts where no
layman is to be allowed to intrude, is to come from
parties who nay have an interest in malversation
of the funds. What right have we to suppose that
diocesan inspection, performed by delegates, will
work better than episcopal inspection has worked
for the lust three hundred years? The bishops were,
by virtue of their office, inspectors of the great
public schools, and it is impossible to cite any more
flagrant ease of perversion of funds than is presented
by the records of the abuses in these institutions. Epis-
copal inspection has watched over the misappropriation
of revenues and the decay of education. Episcopal
inspection has seen the funds of one institution
growing " small by degrees and beautifully less," until
they became an inappreciable quantity : it has re-
garded with complacency the absorption of the
revenues of another school by the master and the
disappetuwice of all the pupils; it has looked calmly
on while magnificent buildings crumbleddown to in-
teresting ruins. These have been the result of direct
episcopal inspection. Make it indirect, says Mr.
Ilextsox, and you shall see what yon shall see.
Give us diocesan inspection, and everything will
work well. The government has wisely refused to
listen to the words of the charmer. In doing so, it
has but acted upon a principle, the value of which
is tested by all history, that the clergy ought not to
have unlimited control over any function of the bode
politic, and that the due working of such function Is
only to be attained by the co-operation of the laity.

We regret to learn that mme difference of etiquette
at .‘lexaudria between the high officers sent from
the Porte and the I'acha of ECTPT, has so irritated
the SULTAN'A minister*, that the demands or remon-
strances. which were drawn up and had been with-
held on the representation of Sir STE.tTFORD CAN-
NING, have now been forwarded to Alexandria. The
firman of investiture and of hereditary right,
which Sultan \l.tuyot•n granted to the
Pacha of EGYPT in 1811, on the advice
of the allied powers, was unfortunately so worded,
as to satisfy the full pride of the SULTAN; and
therein it is expressly declarcdthat, in all ceremonies
the Pacha of loom, notwithstanding his hereditary
right, shall be treated on a par with other Paellas.
The other conditions to which the ruler of Egrpt
was subjected by that firman, and which Re-
ttEstET Ali accepted, were still more stringent.
Not only were the military and naval forces of
Egypt limited, but no officer of the rank of colonel
could be appointed without the sanction of the Porte,
stud no new tax levied without its consent. It was
very uniketunte that the allied powers should sanc-
tion the SULTAN in employing such language in what

that the bulk of the army would assuredly refuse to
follow him.
I have mentioned in former letters that publics
opinion, alarmed at the comparatively unfavourable
tenor of the accounts from California during the last
two years, has been rather opposed to the project of
sending out emigrants there with the funds of the
Lingoes d'Or lottery. Ono of the reproaches ad-
dressed by M. Reyre to tho dismissed manager, M.
Langlois, was that, in seeking to divert any part of
the funds from their original det.tinntitmi he was
committing a breach of contract with the public, who
must be taken to have countenanced the lottery upon
the faith that emigration to California was the one
beneficent purpose to be furthered by it. The recent
notice from the prefecture of police, that the Malouin
would sail with emigrants from Has-re in a few days,
and would be speedily followed by several other
departures, seemed to evince a determination on
the part of the new management to adhere strictly
to the original scheme. But the Paine last night
announced that the Minister at War has asked the
government to apply the whole of the lottery funds
in sending emigrants to the central agricultural dis-
tricts of Algeria.
Both the National and the I)4We warmly oppose
the Californian project, which, indeed, does seem most
cruel towards the unfortunate labourers whom it
proposes to carry out at the smallest possible cost,
and then to leave them to their own resources, with
the exception of Li days' provisions with which they
were to be furnished. At the end of that time, it is
evident that most of them would find starvation
staling them in the face, unless—which the anxiety
manifested to send them to California leads ono to
suspect—a company of speculators should be there
already, calculating upon taking advantage of the
misery of these men to gain their services at a low
price. If the interests of the French colonicsandof the
emigrants themselves are to be consulted, it certainly
seems that Algeria, with its broad, uncultivated
lands, its want of population, its regular govern-
ment, and comparative proximity, offers a better, or
at least a safer, field for emigration, than the lawless
wilds of the distant gold regions. The emigration to
Algeria failed miserably two years ago, and most of
the emigrants returned wretched to France.
M. Dupin has made another politico-agricult
speech, lus hearers this time being the farmers of Ch♦
team Chinon. He ascribed the present languor in busi-
ness to political causes, and thought it important that
they should be well convinced of this, and not
suppose that their private affairs could flourish if they
remained indifferent to the public weal. He urged
upon them that under a republic it was the duty of
every man to take a part in public affairs, in which
respect they differed from citizens under a monar-
chy, whom he compared to the passengers of a ship,
trusting to the captain, going to sleep, and arriving
safely all the same. He recommended them to se-
lect the man best qualified to govern them, with the
same care that they would choose the best advocate
to plead their cause, and the best doctor to cure them
of disease, taking special care not to be misled by
smooth-tongued vagabonds, to whom they would
not sell a hog or a sheep upon credit, but
who possessed a marvellous facility for gaining
credit for political wisdom. For himself, he had ar-
rived at an age which required repose; and he should
have already retired from political affairs if retire-
ment were as honourable as activity at a time when
activity was necessary and not exempt from danger.
Yon may remember a reported appearance of the
Virgin Mary to a shepherd and shepherdess at
Salette, near Grenoble, which made almost as much
noise as the miracles of Rose Tamisier. The Ga:clee
de France lately published a pretended confession of
the shepherd that he had seen nothing, and had lent
himself to a wilful imposture. The Abbe Rousselot,
vicar-general to the Bishop of Grenoble, has now, how-
ever, written a letter to the Opinion Publique, which he
begs the whole religious press to re-produce, stating
positively, on the authority of the bishop himself, that
with respect to the " important fact" of Salette both
the shepherd and shepherdess have never ceased to
deny that they have ever retracted their original
statement. The bishop is about to pronounce offi-
cially the value which the church will attach to the
important fact, which in the meantime bids fair to
be a very genuine miracle.
To-day being the anniversary of tho birth of the
Count of Chambord, the legitimist papers take oc-
casion to compose a sort of tributory strain in honour
of their exiled 'prince. The Opinion Pablique does
not stick at heading its article "Le RM." As a con-
trast to these demonstrations of a lively faith, I may

notice a less encoura,,ing but more practical 'picture
of the Count de Chatulx)rd's position, in to-day's
Charienri. Ile is there represented in heavy cavalry
uniform, with helmet and cuirass, about to start for
Paris. M. Bcrryer, followed by Ratapoil, of the
society of the Tenth of December, arrives, and thus
addresses him, " Prince, my noble friend Baron Ito-
tapoil and myself have come to say that the best way
for you to return to France will be to remain in
Germany, and to make all the legitimists vote for
Prince Louis Napoleon." The count, bitterly dis-
appointed, replies, " Then it was not worth while to
be writing to me during the last fifteen months to
fold myself in readiness to set out, and to keep me
senstantly dressed up as a cuirassier." This is really
the sum and substance of whole reams of newspapers,
sad it is to be hoped, by the way, that the destrue-
don of this compendious mode of writing contempo-
rary history threatened by the proposed new law
(nominally against caricatures, but in reality against
the Clinrienri) may not succeed. If we may judge
from the despairing tone of the Union to-day, the
legitimist right have small confidence in their tem-
porizing policy, and doubt painfully whether, by
keeping the Count de Chambord in Germany, they
will ever succeed in bringing him into France. The
niun complains of divisions among themselves, so
fatal that revolutionists and usurpers may be content,
for the legitimists are doing their utmost to give
them the mastery.
