ROBBERY AT THE WEST SURREY BANK.

APPREHENSION OF TWO OF THE BURGLARS.
A burglary, attended with circumstances of great
daring, was perpetrated, on Thursday night, on the pre-
mises of the West Surrey Bank, nearly oppoeite tee Clock-
house, and in the centre of the High-street of Eason. The
West Surrey Bank, which belongs to trans Mangles,
Brothers, and tics its head office at Guildford, has • branch
at Epsom. The office consists of two rooms on the ground
fl tor of a hence occupied by Mr. Resta Memo, carrying on
business as a fillmonger. The house is detached os one side;
Mr. Moore's yard, enclosed in lofty gates, running between
his own residence and that of • Mr. Holland, who lives next
door. The apartments occupied u the bank are a
front office aid one small room behind, which
latter is lighted by • window looking into Mr.
Moore's yard. This window was fixed upon by the
burglars as their point of entrance, in effecting which
they adopted very similar means to the Frimley rather,.
The window alluded to was an ordinary sash, strengthened
inside by three iron bars. The rascals first cut sway and
tem wed the rash. which they deposit. d very carefully in an
outhouse in Mr. Moore's yard, and then loosening the fasten-
ing of one of the bars, they toned it inwards, and, bending
it up, obtained sufficient room to admit • man'. body.
Having thus secured an entrance they struck • light sad
commenced ransacking the place. Whilst the thieves were
thus engaged, Mr. Holland (Mr. Moore's next door
neighbour) who sleeps in a room overlooking the yard,
had occasion to get out of bed. On going to the window
he at once observed a light in the little hack office
belonging to the bank, and as it was new about 2 o'clock he
telt satisfied that all was not right. Mr. Holland spoke to
his wile on the subject on returnine to bed ; and, with the
natural of a lady, Mr.. Holland got up to peep. She
soon discovered what she thought were the figures of two
men, and summoning Mr. Holland to asks a second obser-
vation, they both clearly saw two individuals in the little
back cffico of the bank tinily engaged in ransacking the
place, one of them holding a lighted candle in his hat, and
the other annul with a chisel or screwdriver, forcing cup-
boards and drawers open. Mr. Holland's first impulse wee
to open the window of his bed-room and give an alarm, sod
with that view he threw up the sash, and called out as load
as he could, "Is that you, Mr. Moore ? " The burglars
beard him call, and instantly decamped, baying first put out
their light Mr. Holland hastened to put on his clothes, and
in a very few mince.' was on his way to the police station.
Almost immediately after leaving his own door he encoun-
tered • man in the MO-street, whom he addressed,
without obtaining any reply. This man walked
off in another direction, end Mr. Holland proceeded to give
en alarm to the polies. He had scarcely arrived at the sta-
tion, when two prisonese were brought in by the officers of
the local police, and charged on suspicion of having stolen
property m their posression. Mr. Holland having comma
skated to Semiotic Kennedy what he had men, that officer
ordered the prisoners to be put back while he himself pro-
ceeded to ascertain the state of affairs at the bank. On
arriving here he found the house bad been entered ae above
described, and on making an examination it was discovered
that the thieves, alter ransacking all the cupb suds and
erawen in the bank, bed entered Mr. Moores private apart-
ments. and regaling themselves on bread god beef and wine,
had subs. q ucatly stolen several articles therefrom. Hsppily
the plunder obtained was altogether very sn el. The iron
safe in the back office of the bask resisted all the efforts of
the reseals to break ft open, although considerably
iojared by the rough usage it had received from the point
of a " jemmy," used in attempting to force it, which was
found sticking in between the doors, and the corresponding
portion of the iutrument was suheequcntly discovered on
one of the prisoners by Sergeant Kennedy. A. cupboard in
this room was broken span, and a bottle of wine taken out,
and from a desk which was also forced several blnele cheques
were abstract. d. The front office was entered by cutting
away the bolts of the door communicating between the rooms,
and here 12.. 6d. in silver money was take n out of one of
the tills. Happily all the other cash, in accordance with
his usual custom, bad been taken to his private residence by
Mr. Everisgham, the manager of the bank, on the previous
evening. The door leading from the front office of the
bank to Mr. Moore's private 'warn:mots was forced, and in
all the lower rooms the robbers committed great havoc,
breaking open drawers and strewing their contents about
the fives. The only articles missed, however,were • greatcoat
and some silver spoons. Mr. Kennedy having completed his
search, returned to the police-station, accompanied by Mr.
Moore. On the prisoners being called, Mr. Moore at °ace
identified his coat on the back of one of the rascals, and on
the pockets being searched the silver spoons stolen from Mr.
Moore's kitchen were discovered. The broken " jemmy'
and the blank cheques were found upon the other prisoner,
and all doubt as to their participation so the robbery being
removed, they were at once put back into cells. One of the
prisoners gave his name as George Roberta, and describes
himself u • gunsmith, but refuses to give his address. The
other man calls himself Charles Dowe' and says he is a la-
b sorer. Both state that they are last from Guildford.
The circumstances which led to their apprehension are
these : Police Constable 307 V was on duty at the lilacs
end of Epsom about half-put two o'clock yesterday malting,
when, observing two sespicieurlooking strangers hurrying
out of the town, be challenged them. Failing to obtain any
satisfactory reply, he sprang upon them, and, seeing both
men by the collar, held them until he obtained the assistance
of two brother officers, and thus secured his prisoners.
Both the fellows were brought up before the local magis-
trates yesterday morning, and underwent • private examina-
tion. The Baron de Tenter and Mr. H. Goss* were upon the
bench, and Mr. William Everest, the clerk to the magistrates,
was in attendance. The evidence of the police officers
having been taken, Mrs. Moore (in the absence of her hue-
' band) was salted to identify some of the articles stolen, and
this haring been done most eatisfa:torily, both the prisoners
w. re remanded until Monday next, when it is expected the
evidence spinet them will be complete.
Among the articles left behind by the prisoners is a razor
firmly fixed into • wooden handle, raising a strong suspicion
that bad they met with any resistance in the noose murder
would have happened. Great credit Is doe to Sergeant
Kennedy arid the force under his command, for their ad-
mirable conduct in the apprehension of the rascals.
Roberts appears about 32 years of age, and is sft. 6ig.
huh; he is respectably dressed, and his linen is marked
"F. S." Dowe is shout 18 years cf age, and 6lt. 4in. high:
he is very swarthy, and has a mole upon his left cheek. Both
the prisoners were conveyed to Kingston last evening.

VISITATION CHARGE OF THE
BISHOP OF LONDON.

THIS DAY.
Tnis day having been fixed for the delivery of
the bishop's charge, a considerable number of the
rlorgy of the diocese attended St. Pant's Cathedral in
order to be present on the occasion. The service
rommerctd at eleven o'clock. At the canolaeion of
the prayers, the sermon was preached by the Rev.
H. Mackenz e, rec.or of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields.
Toe reverend gentleman selected for his text the
29th v. of the 20th chap. of the Acts of the Apostles
u Take heed, therefore, unto yourselves, and to all thr;
flak over which the Holy Ghost bath made you
overseen, to feed the Church of God, which he path
purchased with his own blood." At the conclusion of
this discourse, the Rev. Prelate proceeded to deliver,
from the Communion, his charge to the clergy.
AB the length of the charge precludes our giving it
entire to-day, we subjoin extract* from some of the
most important parts of it, reserving the whole until

- . ...... .
Monday.
Tam Bishop thus speaks of
_ua. ooausx's osmows.

The Jadieial C inteeitteo of the Privy Column have stated
tact Mr. o..rhain's doctrine appears to them to be as follows:
"That baptism is a eamantont generally asesesary to salve.
pace. bat that the pees of regeneration does not so neersarily
accompaay the set of baptism that regeneration invariably
takes peace in baptism ; that the grace may be pentad be-
fore, in, or after baptism ; that baptism is an effectual sign of
epee by which o'd works invisibly in us, bat only in such
a worthily receive it, in them alone it ha. a wholesome et-
fie, and that without retranslate the gealtacations of the
ricipient it Is not in itself an effectual sign of grace; that
infanta baptised, dying before actual sin, aro certainly saved:
hat that Ia so case is regenbredilin Is baptism nceoadi-
lima! "
Bat Mr. Gothanes ssserti bus are not folly or adequately
repressated by the toregoing statement. Hsi real errors, as
I eemoircv them to be, are ot a most serious mature; being.
as far 1 sea saderstand his language, sot merely of a doubt-

precisely and dogmatically opposed SO that dorrine. Those

a a ataigery inference not only that there may be eases in

It did sot spirt to mop »Ibis to reconcile such statements
se these with the pica and nacqnlvosal teaching of she Church
ot Knotted as to the notate of a sacrament. They seemed to
me to he a plus dell d of Shot which the church asserts, that

member of Christ, a child of God, and an Inheritor of the
kingdom of bravo' It there be any meaning in words, these

whereby we recoiwe the inward and epiritual gram, no well ea

be true, th.n is hipl is,. 81010 h ecr assessment according to the
insect.% delio Woo, nor ens we, with a safe conicience, tune
Valle to teeth our children that catecbiam, which yet the
church d.rt s is to he learned of every one of her members.
1, appeared to me, then, that the es aMertiona of Mr 0 ahem,
wroth were paoeot over without notice by the Judicial Com-
mittee, but to which I meld not shut my eyes, went to de
rite holy bap ism el its sacramental chancier, and utterly
to erowate its p caller and distinrive gram. 1 am not now
cosaiderip g, sor was this th, question been the Judicial
Ciieeitter. whither Mr. 0 whim's theory be defeesible as
ineoiesivent with the Isnot' ire of Holy Scripture which
I en p outdid it is not), but whether it be agreeable to the
Oracle teaching of the Chnrch of Bnaland; whethe r it
e,. d with the dt dilation which she ha. draws,
is arcoriance with the primitive Cbu;ch of Christ, from the
word ed Go% the as. source of truth ? Now, that

e;.iritarti lit., kJ:Weed the doetrioe of our church, is, to my
wed, to plain that I find its difficult to undimmed bow any
;tram cgs penuela himselfol the contrary.
Oar diarrhoea next emphatically refuses to admit
' that the ar.ielta contain the whole doctrine of the
Church of linglAnd." In support of his views he cites
the opinions at Ihshop Pearson and 1/r. Waterrland,
and, above all, the ~olemn declaration of assent to the
Prayer link made at ordination, and the effect of the
Canoe with respect to the d,ctrines of the sacra-
ria nte reclaim d in the Prayer Book. With respect
to Lie argument put forward by Mr. Gorhais's coun-
sel. that the Prayer Book was " to be consider. d
i-inply as • guide to devotion, and note defining any
toerine,” he thus 'peas :
It appear to me to be a perfectly inadmtuable sappoaition,
tact, is a soignee act of devotion, and especially in the ccli.
beaten' eta sacrament, any point of doctrine should be em
bodied es• certain and acknowledgi d truth, about which
the cherish eaterteine any doubt. Tbt. would safely be
nothing short of addr. mina the Author ot Truth Is the lan-
realm of falsehood. Oa the contrary, the assumption of a
aomeine, at true in • rewsibed form of prayer, or thanks-
, tine to God, is in fact, the most soles. and positive
a•arr, ion of that doctrine which can possibly be made.
Will any one m that it the artistes of religion had

tobenely ...baited by the thaw. when she direced her sacs-

...rod in the article, it is therefore not irs. tied by our
Chereh when ,he instructs se to pray, that having been re.
"'aerated sod made the children of Gad, by adoption and
pee., cc easy he duly renewed by his Holy Spirit.
The t tr,ct of the 27th article, and the invalidity of
Mr. (Leitrim's theory of prevenient grave, and its in-
applicability to ihtants, are then diectiseed by oar dio-
man aide great learning and minuteness, in which
the various authorities aro investigated and balanced
with great cri it al acumen, and the decieion come to
that Mr. Oortiam's theory of the comparative if not
absolute inefficacy of baptism could not ba reconciled
with the language of our authoritative formularies."
1, appeared to me (Cuilt.lll,ll the Bishop) that he went to
mach greater letw.hs in depreciating the sacramental she
tarter of baptism than say wii:er of our church with whose
works I wee arquiated, except the opponents of Hooker;
that he left far in the backgretuad theme who maintain the
typuthetical, the condi:ional, or the charitable theory of
eftkotey, in his assertion that in all eases the for-
et.. fru of original bin, the grace of regeneration and &deta-
il n into the family ot 0 td, are sot the eff,ats or the molts
act ',lntro, bet or a prevenient ;sat of grace, when a hap-
loid infant possums them, or of • subsequent eat of erre,
loon got y fellow at some later time after baptism.
Bishop then proceeds to state hue view of
TEO DOCTIIIIII OP 11117PTISW.
I am or opinion that the real doctrine of our Church as to
he 'Met of baptises is correctly stated Is the tollowing words
id we of the new learned ef bee seas, Bishop Beveridge :

WOMANISING INNOVATIONS IN PIJVLIC WOUOIP.
Then, with regard to the mode of dlebratieg Divine
warship: it has hem • subject of gnat unsaddles to me
to en the changes which have been introdoeed by • few o
the clergy, at varianee, as I think, with the spirit of the
Chewable directions, sad, in some iguana., with the letter.
It has always been osteriaid at evidence of tie wisdom
and moderation of these who framed our Comma Prayer,
that they retained sash tereureeles se they thought
best to the tailing fora of God's honour and glory,
ad to the Inducing of the people to a most perfect
and godly living, without error or supentitioe, putting
away other things which they perceived to be most absurd,
"em In men's indium:es it often eltanceth diversity in
divers countries." Bat this principle has been lost sight
of by the persons to whom I allude, and they have pre-
sumed, following their mere private judgments, and not
the rules or intention of the Church, to introduce, one by
ens, those very forms and observances which the re-
formers of our Liturgy had purposely disc manned and
laid did, but when It is now sought to revive. some of
them for the fires time dose the Itelormatloe. These in-
aovations have, In Mho lostanere, ben carried to each •
length as to renter the Church service altacrt histrionic. I
really eannot characterise by a gentler term the continual
changes of poster., the (repent genuflexion., the cumin,
the peculiarities of dross, and some of the decorations el
Marches to which I allude. They are, after all, • poor
imitation of the R.lnvis cisrenienial, and radish, 1 had no
doubt, to the obeervint numbed of that Church, a subjoin,
ea the me hand, of ridicule, as being • faint and
mend copy of their own gaudy ritual, and, on the
other band, of exaltation, as preparing those who take
delight in them to wet • faller gratitlation of their taste in
the Roman tweimuelon lamby no means insensible to
the vale* of the esthetic principle in the eat, roals of roll.
pea, bet great edition is requisite not to ley suck stress
apes that which is material and emblematic as to detract
from the Importance of that which is purely spiritual
—to substitute, in feet, the mere machinery of religion
for the 'Seco which it is intended to produce. I have
always untended, and atilt contend that we are
bowed to outs out all the Chetah's directions for the
celebration of Divine service; bet I contend also, that we
offend spinet her order, tot less by the addition of what It
torolds er does sot enjoin, then by the omission of anything
that it prescribes.
Buffer me to remind you of the language which I held
to you on this subject eight years ago. " Such practices,"
I observed, "which are neither prescribed, nor mow.
mended, nor even noticed by ear Church, nor sanctioned
by pedal custom, throw discredit upon thou Leung
eseemonies and expressive Sodas, which are intehded to
enlida the devotion of thou who are espied in the devise
of Ood, and to do holder to his holy nano. In resisting as
exonerated spiritualism, we mutes careful sot to incur the
charge of materialising religion, and, above all, we most be-
ware of arbitrarily connecting the gine ci O id with ordi-
names of merely human appoldnuat, and of teaching
oar pope to place the seressonde which the church
has ordained, however significant and laudable, on
the same footing as the sacraments which had
been ordained by the Lord Jesus himself." In 1846
I again complained of the efforts which had for some
time put been systematically made to revive anionest
the members of our communion opinions and practises
usually regarded se peculiar to the Church of R me, and
spoke of them es tending to proles and unsettle sensi-
tive and imperfectly-instructed conscience., and to pre-
pare them for an acknowledgment of the paramount
authority of that Church, which, as it concedes within',
nor admits the possibility of its dreg, even in the
minutest feature of that complicated system, which was
stamped with the character of noebangeehlenees by the
Council of Trent. has manifestly • great advantage in

dealing with unstable and undciiibtfa minds, whedon;
one step has been taken in advance towards that ~sum.
I had hoped that thew distinct expressions of my
opiniod would have the off et of check's; the innovations
eluded to, and of awakening thow of the clergy of my
disci se who had departed the furthest from the simplicity
of our Reformed ritual, to a sense of the danger of all
endeavours to assimilate it to the Roman INTIMAJCIfaI, and
to the inconsisteney of each endeavours with their own obli-
gations, as ministers of ear /Wormed Chrtrob, band by
solemn pledges to observe her sales, and to carry out
her intentions. That expectation has been disappointed ;
neither my public 'short ition• nor my private admoni-
tions have prAuced the desired effect. I have been told
that I bad no authority to forbid anything which was not
in express terms forbidden by law; and that practices
which, th)ugh properly laid aside by the Church, and so
by implcation condemned, have not been actually prohi-
bited, aro therefore lawful, and that canonical obchence to a
bishop is only that welch he can enforce in • court of
law; and so the innovations which I objected to have been
persisted in, with additional change introduced from time
to lima, with the manifest purpose of assimilating the
services of our retonsed church as nearly aa possible to
those of the R moon. Once more I dec'are my entire
diopproval of such poetic's, and my earnest wish that,
while every direction of the rubric and canons is observed
oh. re it is possible, no (MA should be introduced into the
celebration of the public worship which is not expretsly pre-
method by them, or mactiossd by long.established usage.
It is • duty at all times incumbent upon the members
of our Reformed Church, especially upon her ministers,
to abstain from exerything whisk may Deem in any way
to countenance the errors of the Church of Rom, and load
any pence to believe that the difference between us is
less than it really is; to forbear from imitating its pecu-
liarities, 11.0111 recommending is books of devotion, MU
attending its services, eves through ntriosil, in this
country at least ; in short, Is diaa all intercourse with it as
• Church. But this duty proems upon us with peculiar
bete at the preernt time, when that Church is advancing
its pretensions to 'pintas' dominion amongst as with an
arrogance hitherto unknown.

DEPUTATION TO THE BISHOP OP LONDON.—Yes-
