THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN BT. GEORGE'S
EAST.—Yesterday a nsiettesef the vestry of this parish wee
held at the Vestry hall, Mr. edger in the chair. The Vestry-
Clerk announced that he had received the following letter
from Mr. J. B. Lea, the mmetary to the Bishop of London,
relative to the eoriedeatical state of the pariah. "3, Dean's-
yard, Westminster, Oct. 26.—Dear Sir,—The Bishop of Lon-
don, who is etililfrom borne, wishes me to send you a short
statement se to the position of the reference to him. This I
proceed to do. On the 4th of October Mr. King (the rector)
wrote to me that the bishop having offered his mediation
between the vestry and himself upon the question of his use
of unaccustomed vestments in Divine Service, and the time
for the Sunday afternoon (lecturer's) service, be pledges
himself to abide by any decision which his lordship might
make upon the above questions. Upon the receipt
of this note I enquired of Mr. King whether I was
to consider that he pledged himself to the bishop's
decleion es to the hour at which the lecturer'.
afternoon service was to commence, anti as to the vestments
to be worn to the perish church by himself and the other
officiating clergy. His answer to this inquiry, and the lette raub-
eequestly received from him slow clearly that the terms pro-
posed by me implied a wider reference than he bad intended,
and he declined to adopt them. It new appears from a letter
of Mr. King's, dated 14th October (but which, in conse-
quence of the bishop's movements, only reached his lordship
a few days since), that be understands the terms, the use of
uneccuritomed vestments', to apply to coloured stoles and the
chasuble, both of which hesitates he would be ready to give
up at the bishop's desire. You will thus see that the only
two points left by Mr. King to the bishop's decision were-
1. The hour of the lecturer's afternoon service. 2. The use
of coloured etolm and the chasuble.—l em, &c., J. B. Liz.
W. L. Howell, Esq., vestry clerk." The letter was ordered
to be entered as the minutes.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. H. L. TATLOR.—A num*.
roue meeting, maiming of ladies and gentlemen, was held
on Wednesday evening at the Deptford Institution, Mr.
Alderman Salemons, M.P., presiding, for the purpose of

able asestance rendered by him to the inhabitants of New-
cress and its vicinity, In witiog the director, of the North-
Kent Railway to provide better accommodation at the New-
cross station, en eSort which has resulted in the erection of
one of the beat Mations on the line, in the place of one which
was altogether below the requirements and respectability of
the district. The testimonial consisted of a massive silver
loving cop of chute and elegant design end elaborate work-
manship, bearing the following inscription ,—" Presented to
Henry Lowman Taylor, Esq., by the inhabitants of New-

venient station at New-cross, North Kent Railway, Oct. 26,

Works, and one of the directors of the company. made a state-
ment to the effect, that an act of parliament had teenobtained
for oonstructing a line of railway to Tat boat, a point six
miles from the town of Brecon. It would be necessary to
apply to parliament for powers to fill in that gap occasioned
by the failure of a bill promoted last session by the Aberga-
escuty Cartel Company. The length first to be constructed
would be 14 miles, from Merthyr to Talybont. The directors
had before them an offer to lease and work that portion of the
line by highly tespectable parties, at an annual rent of 4 per
cent, on the capital expended (for ten years), to be Increased
to 6 per cent, so won as the line will be opened to the town of
Brecon. Resolutions in support of the undertaking were
unanimously agreed to, and several gentlemen prevent doubled
their share of subscription to a considerable extent.

LONDON. FRIDAY, OCT. 28.

Tux Emperor of the FRENCH has just rendered
the King of N‘rtes an important service, for which
it is probable he will never be adequately thanked.
The meditated junction of the Neapolitan and Papal
force., in order to an attack on the independence of
this Itornagneee, has been peremptorily forbidden;
the appointed interview between the Holy Father
and his meet dutiful son is indefinitely postponed;
and OARlllaDell army, which wanted nothing but
an enemy, is condemned to chafe in inaction. Car-
dinal ANTONELLI hereupon inclines hisser to reason.
Wiser than the ethtx.vei and the Duramhours,
who perplex the Pore's cause with their maladroit
advocacy, he does not declare that the Papal
Government is perfection, and that nothing at all
an be done for it in the way of reform. On the
sontrery, he presents the Doke DI ORAHHONT with
a plowing little catalogue of ameliorations and coo-
cessions which his Holiness will be most happy to
carry out, upon only one condition—that the Lega-
tions be delivered into his power first. If, however,
the Emperor of the FRENCH maintains his resolu-
tion until the settlement of the question, the Holy
Father will have either to acquiesce in the loss of •
province or to recover the allegiance of his sub-
jects, as many unholy Potentates have done, by
making his rule agreeable and safe. But if other-
wise. the people of the Romagna will not quietly
permit their fate to be disposed of without their
good-will.
It would be well if the Eiersaoit's Italian policy
were always equally wise. Hie friends indeed tell
us that he is better disposed towards Italy than the
world believes; that he is truly anxious to lure
Italy to herself, strong enough to defy foreign
interference, and internally too well settled to give
encouragement to revolution. If some things seas
to discredit his claims to this character, they refer
us to the difficulties with which he has to contend,
to the embarrassments of the Villafranca compact, to
the intrigues of the priesthood, and above all
to the selfish and unpatriotic character of
some of the chief agents through whom he
is compelled to act. But the world, which sees
Louie NlPoLecoN in a position of greater mastery
than any man of this generation has occupied, is
driven to consider the acts of his Government as his
own. When a man has overthrown a system under
which bad ministers are removed and reVaced by
better, it is for his personal authority to supply
guarantees io the room of those he has subverted.
If the truth be, as those who study the ways of his
Court plead, that while he aims at a policy national.
magnanimous, and worthy of France, his Ministers
are more proud of the good word of his vanquished
enemies than of their master', approval, then one
cannot imagine a situation more pitiable than his.
The dangers, political, military, and civil, which boost
him in his Italian enterprise, the immortal reputa-
tion of Liberator of Italy which he so nearly won
the fame he might still acquire if trim to the idea
which he so nobly proclaimed at Milan, all are
as nothing to these men, the servants and
betrayers of every dynasty. For • sordid interest,
for • personal pique, they would sacrifice all that
he has woo in and for Italy, and by legalising per.
rituals and enormously increase that Austrian influ-
ence in the Peninsula which their muter went thither
to destroy. Should they succeed they will exhibit
him to France as having poured out her blood, to
Europe as having grievously sacrificed her honour (or
nought. We in England see this distinctly, we, to
whom the alliance of France is precious as long on it
is • pledge of progress, civilisation, and liberty; and
we see it with great regret. The EMPEROR con-
quered English opinion by the high-minded declara-
tions if his Milan proclamation, and from that moment
until the arrival of the amazing news from Villa-
franca we wished him success. Although the tidings
of the disastrous agreement sigxed there gave a shock
to every mind in this country, yet as soon as men
bad time to reflect, all were anxious to de
justice to him in a difficult situation. The

world wants peace. Interests which are con-
nected with the sustenance of millions are deranged
and impeded by causes which must be well know*
to Lome NAPOLEON, and which the world believes
that he has the power to remove. Treaties are signed,
and peace is said to be concluded, yet men's lions j

show no sign or joy. While those whom interests are

provisions with alarm, the rest of the world is occupied
in observing with distrust a restlessness which

no other purpose than to acquaint the world that
Queen Isei rt t..e has ships and soldiers to spare?

reduction. Travellers from Cherbourg tell of
railway carriages daily arriving there full of
cartridges and munitions of war, and of the
hundred rifled cannon which are to be mounted
around the harbour. It is right that the
Emperor of the Favecit should be made aware'
of the imprciaion these and other similar facts make

brought about which must soon become intolerable.
Men and nations can manage to rub on with a revo-

become the rule, a stand is sure to be made, sooner or
later, against their authors. LOUIS NAPOLEON is at
this time producing in Europe just inch a state of
anxiety and uncertainty as that from which he was
called in to deliver France. There most be, there will
bean end made of this situation. If the En P EROS still
powwows the good sense of which he has often given
proof he will restore confidence by his own act, and
reconcile his glory with the peace and well-being of
the world.
