THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

There is every reason to expect that the quarter's
ue will show a very trifliog deemase—if any—when
compared with the corresponelie g quarter of lest year, not.
withetandir g the reductions which the Chanctltir of the
Exchequer wee able to make in the last 11•41011. The
brim duties-700,0001. a year—were wholly abandoned, and
yet we And thee:cies so prosperous, In the other items, as
scarcely to miss the total lees in title. The buoyancy of the
revenue of cads' is one of the most convincing and conclusive
proof, of the wide.spread prosperity and occupation of the
great mass of the people. The stamps, although prosily re-
duced, will not exhibit the signs of that reduction in MI in
the present quarter, since a great lemmas of !matinee', which
' was kept back tor the cbange,wtll probably show its effect upon
the present quarter, which to its full extent cannot be hoped
for again. The Customs ductaate, but will show well la
spite of the great reductions that have taken place. These
Cr. the chief items which mark the slate of the country. The
others will probably vary very little, and will be shown by
the tabular returns. In the meantime the large amount of
public deposits exhibited in the weekly retinae of the Bask
of England, smi.uiating to the sum et nearly half a million
of increase weekly, shows that the debtor and creditor
acumen of the Chancellor of toe Exchequer stands well, and
that his balance at the end of the financial year is more likely
to inasese than to be diminished, notwithstanding the taxes
that he has relined or reduced, and the mama that are in

course of expenditure in Lquidation of the pnblic debt.—

THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE REV.
MB. BENNETT.-IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS.

On Saturday the preliminary proceedings for de-
priving Mr. Buren of the incumbency of S:. Paul's,
Knightsbridge, and the chapel', of St. Barnet's*, Pimlico,
were commenced on behalfof the Bishop of Loadoo. It wilt
be reeoUeet.d that Mr. Bennett, in his letter to the Bishop
of London, stated that "it his lordship would tot allow him
time to msk. the desired &Winnow' in his mode of conduct-
ive the "erste, sat hie churches, he had no alternative but to
place his It ing into his lordship's hands." This part of his
letter the Biseop coesidered as a formal resi,nai ion, an.t
intimated to Mr. linnet& that he ace, pled the resignation.'
A few days afterwards the bishop made arrangements
for the tutor* performance of the services in the
churches, and informed Mr. Bent.ett of the nature
of them. The d gentleman then declared that
be had net resigned et all, and, moreover, that it was
not his intention to do so. The bishop informed him that
he had resigned, at.d that he thouln, therefore, insist on his
giving up the two churches. Mr. Bennett, however, stoutly
refuses to do so, and the matter is now to be brought into
the Ecclesiastical Court ; and, from the nature of the eel
dente which will be brought forward, it is likely to De some
years before it is finally settled, as Mr. Bennett and his
friends are determined to appeal to every court open to
them, should the bishop succeed in the first instance.
Banal of the moot eminent eeeksiastieal lawyers who have
bets consulted on the matter maintain that Mr. Bennett
cannot De said to have resigned until be executes the formal
dud required in such cases, a course which he is not likely
now to adopt.
The proceedings taken by the Bishop of London are under
the 314 Vic., oap hOosections 3 and 4, which is as follows:
" And he it enacted that in every case of any clerk la
holy orders of the unit, el church of England and Inland,
who may be charged with any offence against the laws eccle-
siastical, sr concerning whom there mey exit scandal or
evil report, as having offended against the said laws, it shall
be lawful kr the bishop of the diceese within which the
offsets is alleged or reported to have bees committed, on the
anoliestion of any party complaining thereof, or if he shall
sk tit of his own men motive, to issue • commission under
Ms hand and seal to des persons, of whom one shall be his
eiser.peural, or an archdeacon or rural dean within the
diocese, for the purpose of making inquiry as to the grounds
of each charge or report. • • • • • That it shall be
lawful for the said commissioners, or any thr, • of them, to
examine upon oath all witnesses who shall be tendered to
Sem for examination, u well as of arty party alleging the
Bath of the charge or report as of the party seemed, and to
all witnesses whom they may deem it necessary to summon
Bs the purpose of fully prosecuting the inquiry and enter-
Seising whether there be sufficient prima facie ground for
Instituting further proceedings.
erten such preliminary proceedings shall have closed, one of
the oommissionen shall openly and publicly declare the
opinion of the majority of the commissioners present at
such inquiry, whether there be sodlcient grounds for further
procesdiags."
Should tho teernmissioners decide that there is ground for
farther proceedings, the bishop may, with the consent of Mr.
Bennett, pronounce sentence at one*, but u Mr. Bennett
will ant submit to this coarse, the matter will have to go
before the Arabes C.,urt. Is the mean time the earring at
St. Paul's end St. &mains will be performed by the
curates. Beth the eharehee et St. Paul sits St. Barnabas
were built sod endowed by the Bey. Mr. Bennett. the former
of which is worth 1,0001. a year, and the latter 3601. It is
stated that the reverend gentlemen has expended upwards of
100,0001. in the building end endowing the churches and
schools •f she districts of St. Paul and St. Sarmatian—
