versatility of his genius. Poseibly this may account for the
Palos taken to keep the matters worst until the very eve of
his departure. Whether be would have consented to go at
all, had any little bird warned him that b the time he had
got as far sa Vienna such a grenade as that flung by Mr.
Guernsey would come phizzing over his head, threatening to
blind him, and to bewilder those to whom be was sent, by its
exploaion—we do not undertake to say. But it may well be
imagined that to a fastidious and fanciful mind like his, the
strangely infelicitous despatch of Sir Bulwer Lytton, an-
nouncing his mission to the Senate of Corfu, mast have been
infinitely more distasteful. A mere unwise or unsuitable cool-
' position it has seldom been our lot to read. Platitudes are
bad things at beat ; but if we must have them we have •
right to their being smooth outside sad empty within. The
Colonial Secretary's in this case were neither ; but seemed
to consist of exaggerated puffery of the Envoy, which a man
like Mr. Gladstone did not used, and of inordinate humility
on the part of the government, which no government how-
ever generously minded towards a disaffected dependency can
ever afford to assume. It is not the custom—certainly it is
not vier, to herald the approach of a well. known statesman
by fulsome panegyrics on ha University reputation, literary
fame, or style of speaking in Parliament; and it is meld
more foolish in those who are entrusted with the keeptsg
of an empire like ours to dismount in the midst of a ter-
, bulent mob, and by foppish genuff,ctions, and
abject deprecations, to try and coax or cozen the crowd bee
pod humour. We think the Cortlotes and Cephalonians
have been sadly aggrieved ; we believe their enforced sub-
mission to our authority is • loss unbalanced to us by any
rein ; and we regard their oppression by England so a
European blunder and a national shame. But "if
sion meketh even the wise man mad," we know 1=1;

unruly, suspiciota, and p~ernyeerne And just becausethis is

the guidance of imperial affairs, and who sieb safely
ameliorate the condition of a people who have had cause to
complain of misrule, than to lower the tone of authority
prematurely, or to tempt, by affected term• of equality,
unerasnoipated dependents into taking beforehand the airs of
freedom. The weak love of tine writing palpably led the
author of " Rienzi" to forget all this ; and by a sort of poetic
justice, it appears that the immediate penalty of his official
fault followed its commission in the universal agreement,
that even as a prize composition the despatch was an
egregious Ware.
If we have been severe in our censure of the accomplished
and distinguished Secretary for the Colonies, it is because we
are thoroughly vexed to see a man whom we regard as, in a
certain sense, a representative of political men of letters, be-
guiled by the intellectual comcombry he ought to have long
since outgrown into attempts at cutting a figure in flashy
riregraph-weaving. Though widely differing from Sir
Bulwer Lytton In many of the opinions by whose advocacy an
'writer he is known, we confer that we are glad of his eleva-
tion to the post he now fills, because we regard it as a
tribute paid to self-asserting talent, nnarsociated with oil-
gamble wealth or birth; end es an assertion of the great prin-
ciple of intellectual equality in the eligibility of men for
office, as opposed to the insolent usurpation of family and
fortune. It is therefore we are angry, and being angry, we
think it much better to say out what we feel, and have done
with it, than to compromise consistency and the hope of a
great cause in a short-sighted endeavour to glow over what
a manifestly wrong. Since the right honourable baronet
has been installed in the Colonial-office he has surprised (per-
haps disappointed) many by his patient and unceasing de-
votion to the business of his department, and by the unas-
suming urbanity of his demeanour towards all with whom
he has come into contact. In the dispensation of patro-
nage he has not yet been seriously tried, none of the great
posts in our wide-spread dominion having fallen vacant
during the past year. What he his had to give away, how-
ever, he his apparently bestowed with a single eye to merit
and a sense of what was due to the public intereet. lie will, no
doubt, have to face many searching interrogationN when the
season for the awful parliamentary sport of melting pop-
gun shots and winging or missing political opponents on the
plateau of St. Stephen's returns; but in our judgment he loss
little to apprehend from hostility either in parliament or the
press, if he will but give heed to the comael of
a deep thinker, addressed to a ywang aspirant to rhetorical
renown—" Whenever you have written down an elaborate
sentence which you think particularly tine, be sure you do
not hesitate to fling it into the fire."

THE BISHOP OP ADELAIDE ON THE UNION
OF CHIP 32 WIS.

We find in the Adelaide Advertiser of Nov.
11, 1858, the following letter, which had been addressed by
the Right Rev. Angustus Short, D.D., Bishop of Adelaide,
to the Rev. Thomas Binney, of tie Weigh Blouse Chapel.
London, an eminent Congregationalist minister, who is at
present in Australia. The letter is in explanation of the
difficulty which the Bishop had felt in complying with a
memorial to him, signed by the Governor-in-Chief and
Ministate of State, asking him to allow Mr. Binney to preach
in the pulpits of the clinches ender him control. The
Bishop, It will be seen, propounds a scheme of Christian union
of which the recognition of Episcopacy is an essential part.
The letter is printed at the request of the Bishop .
"TO THE REV. YR. BINNEY.
" Dear and Reverend Sir,—On my arrival yesterday at
this place I received your note, accompanied bye printed
copy of our correspondence. I was fully prepared to see it in
pnnt; but I forbore to suggest that course, being satiefied
that you would choose the proper time and pleas for so
doing. It was, however, rendered necessary by public
allusion having been made to my letter, suds correspondent,
on no better grounds than his own surmise, having thought
fit falsely to disparage so eminent lady, with whom I was
not personally acquainted until aiter I had been consecrated
Bishop of Adelaide 1 should have preferred to have re-
ceived from you at your leisure the matured conclusions of
your judgment on the interesting topic to which I have
drawn attention. The discussion, however, has been pre-
' eititated, I would fain hope without prejudice to the cause.
I must now beg to may a few words explanatory of my
impression' on the proceedings which have taken piece
daring my absence.
" I. I think it 'untoward' that his Excellency the Governor
should have been mixed up with the correspondence between
yen and myself. Church and State have teen separated in
this colony, and I know not why an official character should
have been given to a memorial concerning the administration
of this diocese, by the signature of the Governor-in-Chief and
Ministers of Suite.
2. If I have doubts bow far the letter of this eeckwiestical
datum law of the Established Church of England is appli-
cable to this or other colonial dioceses, I have Dane as res-
pects its spirit, nor ul the inspired authority of the spoetolie
'tradition of eighteen centuries' on which that law is
founded. The evidence even of Jerome, and the argument of
Chillingwonh, are to my mind conclusive on that head. I
could not, therefore, nor ran I feel justitted in departing from
that traditionary rule even in your case. Rad I felt sure that
no statute law would have been violated I should not have
transgressed the . custom' of our church without first con-
sulting the metropolitan and other bishops of the province of
Anemia, as well sa the Ayehhishop ot Canterbury. Con-
niquently 1 think that I ought not to have been invited by
those high in authority in this colony to take a step on my
own responsibility which, though possibly not an actual,
would have been at la at • virtual trenegreasion of the law
of our church. You, sir, well enforced the duty of obedience
to existing laws in your farewell 'perch.
" 3. Having stated why 1 was unable to invite you to
preach to our congregations, I took occasion from thrum to
urge a consideration of the terms on which at some future
time possibly that inability might be removed. The ludis-
pewee's conditions appeared to me to be three:
"A. The acceptance in common by the evangelical churches
of the orthodox creed.
" B. The LISS in common of settled liturgy though not to
the exclusion of free prayer, as provided tor in the Directory
of the assembly of divine' at Westioinsti T.
.. C. An episcopate freely elected by eh- United Evange-
lical churches, not (as I have been tuhapprenended) excle-
sively_by our own.
" No nodal, however, of these preliminary conditions was
tam in the memorial addressed to me. Without then
there would be no security against the intrusion even of here-
deal preachers into our pulpits.
" I have now done. The object of my letter to you bee
been answered. I have drawn attention to the possible future
union of Evangelical Churches; but I have found, like
smother before me, that there are shoes who, . when I
speak unto them of peace, rusks themselves ready to battle'
"Charles V., after his abdication, amused Intent( with
trying to mike acme watches keep time together. Finding
hie hopes disappointed, he wondered at the folly of him own
lifelong endeavours to 'asks men 'to be of the mime judg-
ment sad walk by the tame rule.'
" My letter certainly has not bridged the ecclesiastical gap
which separates us. On the other hand, Ido not think it
bas widened the breach. lam content to bide the time and
allow the leaven to ferment. If the counsel be of Golf, It
cannot be overthrown. Meanwhile, as the evangelical
watehea, though all professing to be set by the sun, do not
seem at present inclined professedly to go together, I must
continue to MK mine ley the . old church elms,' which, after
ell, is probably the surest going time-piece in the world, end
