LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4.

Tan Bishop of LONDON'S Charge resembles M.
BOYKIN " one hundred guinea dish ;" it contains a
large amount of rich and fat turtle furnished by him-
golf, with the " small noir" taken from the middle of
the backs of other bishops, living and dead ; the nois
being, as Soxea has it, the most delicate part of
the birds."
But like dish, like Charge; it le too composite, too
delicate, too refined, too rare; as the one must have
disordered any stomach save those of aldermen with-
out satisfying hunger, so the other will disturb and
perplex the mind ecclesiastical, without composing
one doubt, or allaying s single fear. It is able, it is
learned, it is subtle, it is suggestive; but it wants
that strong vein of common sense, that backbone of
decided opinion fit for every day use, that are eel-
desist of deep sincerity, of ingenuous ends, and of
simple objects. It has all the art and skill of a dialect-
beim, but it wants that simplicity, candour, and single-
noes of purpose that are needful in crises like the present.
It repels c mfideoce and invitee (tome an Irishism) re-
pulsion. It is an elaborate apology for personal conduct,
rather than directions auto the policy which the me-
tropolitan clergy ought to adopt in the midst of inter-
nal strife and external aggression. It neither tends to
allay the strife, nor proposes means of resisting the
aggression. It disturbs everything, and nettles no-
thing. Dr. BLOXPIELD speaks of some of his clergy
introducing " histrionics" into their churches. Bat
was not he himself playing the part of a bishop at
Bt. Paul's, on Saturday ?
At a time when the POPS ie exercising sovereign
right over the territory of this realm, and establish-
ing in it diocesan authority, to be, of course, followed
by parochial organisation ; at a time when be is the
manifesting the sense his church entertains of its re-
cent triumphs over the church of which Dr. Buda-
FIELD is a bishop, Dr. BLOMPIELD occupies three-
fourths of his charge by reviving, continuing, and
prolonging a controversy which has done more to alie-
nate the laity from the clergy of England, which
has more citrus. ed by its '4 envy, hatred, malice, and
all uncharitableness," the community, than any occur-
rence since the Reformation. This Romish aggres-
sion was, if anything could be, a signal for union,
for peace, for concord, for abstinence from internal
controversy ; it was indicative of a time when the
proteetants of England needed all their atreogth, all
their calmness, every concentration of thought, to
repel at once a political disturber and a religious foe.
It must, one would have supposed, have absorbed the
mind of every prelate, and occupied the faculties of
every clergyman; it might, one would have hoped,
have convinced every eceleeimeic, be he mitred or only
diaconal, that whilst they had fur the last few years
been fiddling, Rome had been burning.
But no; it seems to have no such effect on Dr.
BtoNYIRLD. Whilst his church is in danger from
without, he is occupied within by more than Byzan-
tine refinements and ecclesiastical absurdities and
priestly pretensions ; he is extracting from poor per-
secuted Mr. 0011.11‘w's examination by his ruthless,
remorseless brother of Exams, some extreme, some
ultra position which to anathematise and exorcise; he
Is laying down rules of construction at once so
obscure and abstruse that now, on episcopal corn-
mend, the Liturgy has to prevail over the Articles
and then the Articles have to rise superior to
the Liturgy ; he is discovering views of the
seal offices of the church that mean
or mean nothing, u opportunity serves or necessity
requires • he is defining the word " regeneratioa" is
a way that would at ono. satisfy Dr. Pune and be
not wholly objectionable to r. GORDAN ; he is
showing how much more acute a person he is than
the Judicial Committee and the two archbishops ; is
picking holes in their judgment; and proving that it
means nothing, though at law it has settled every
thing. Conscious, apparently, that after so incurs-
tent an episcopal career as his, his authority will not
carry much weight, Dr. BLOMPIELD has culled pel-
ages in all directions from high church and low church
writers to support his views, until he has made his
charge almost u rare a mosaic as Dr. Par's cha-
racter of CHARLES Fox. "That's BURNET," "that's
TILLOTdoN,” "that's LEIGHTON," exclaimed an old
Sootchwomaa, as unacknowledged passages from the
old divines fell from her miaister's lips. "Turn that
woman out," he at last exclaimed, pointing to his
tormentor. "That's his sin !" wan her finishing
reply. Now, in the charge, all that is the bishop's
"Ma" is confused, elaborate, perplexing ; all that is
Boozes's and WATERLAND's, VAN MILDRRT'S and
BITIIELL's, is clear, intelligent, and decisive; and it
is not very fair that he should use their light to illu-
minate his own darkness.
The great defect of the charge is, that thre•-fourths
of it are not only unnecessary under the present cir-
cumstances, but are positively mischievous, because of
recent occurrences. And when at last Dr. Storrs-
mud does corns to treat of the Romish easion,
be falls infinitely short of the occasion. "Treat the
Pope," said NAPOLEON, "as a first-rate power, as a
Sovereign, with 100,000 men at his hack!" In Dr.
ELoRTIELD'a estimation Plo NONO, who is now parcel-
ling out England regardless of its laws, its leg'l tion,
or its monarch, is only the "Bishop of Rome." Why,
what childish ecclesiastical drivelling is not this, to
place the Pope, with the entire Roman catholic world
at his beck and call, on a level with himself! This is
not the way in which pretensions so arrogant, and
power so real, so visible, so active as that the Pope
is now, not pretending to exercise, but actually exer-
cising in E-gland, can be repelled. It is not by de-
nouncing Mr. Goirtax and sneering at Pro Noe°
that so daring and so astute a priest as
Cardinal WISEMAN is to be driven back from West-
minter Abbey. It is neither by mild resuming
- censures of the Romish tendencies of Dr. BLOW-
IPIELD'S favourite clergy, nor by long, tedious, profit-
less discourses on Mr. Goan•it's opinions, that Rome
is to be resisted. It is by widening the area and
deepening the foundations of our own protestant
church ; by throwing open her doors, not by clearing
away those who linger abort bar portale ; by aban-
doning all those preposterous* aasseigetaral preaso-
Moos of preternatural what p lam of bis

is the second defect of Dr. BLoitnibes chugs, that
it contains little evidence that under his guidance the
church will rise to that height.

state of ignorance, and you endanger not only all re-
ligion bat the very stability of society.
On the whole, Dr. BLowriaz.n's charge is a con-
tribution to the polemics, and not to the history of
our times; it will neither calm the waters of internal
strife, nor devise a system of external resistance :
but will punks and confuse and distract many, with-
out encouraging or streagthening any. In the hands
of such a Bishop of LONDON, the Revolution of 1688
would have fallen through. We nest therefore seek
other counsel and support against the attempts both
from within and without, to undo what that great
and glorious event achieved for Ragland.

EIIZOPE can sever be coasidered as Nettled, or in a
eats of testing peace, as long as Its great central na-
ture and race have net obtained their freedom, inde-
pendence, and political development. Germany is this
central nation, touching, as it wen, every country
in Europe, and affecting all necessarily by its pieta&
or its turbulence, its weakness or strength, its ideas
retrograde or progressive. So important is Ger-
many in Europe as a military and political positing,
that wilatrver foreign power or prince is master of
Germany, is thereby master of Europe. NAPOLBON
fully felt this when Its formed the confederation of
the Rhine, and planted four or five erowned heeds
amongst the minor princes of Germany to reign as
his vase's. When NASOLZON offered England pesos,
its statesmen rejected the offer because he claimed to
be virtual sovereign of Germany. The only way of
destroying him and of terminating the great Euro-
pean war, was the liberation of Germany from his
yoke. England spent a quarter of a century and six
hundred millions in setting Germany free from
France. This achieved, she was unable to have Ger-
many organised, so as to admit of its development
and freedom, and thereby to secure its independence.
In NIS the German states were merely tied to-
gether like a faggot, and thrown into the
hands of Austria, the most spendthrift, the
most bigot, the most stupid, the most despotic
government that ever acted Meshes upon a people.
The consequence was, that Germany has never been a
country—has never had weight, purpose, or freedom.
C.mstitational government, promised to it, was found
impossible. And if some kind of fiscal and commer-
cial prosperity and unity was achieved, it was done by
Prussia in spite of Austrian despotism. Each a system
of non-government brought on, of course, a popular
revolution, with all its follies and simian. The
Prussian government and army subdued it in Ger-
many ; whilst Austria was unable to retain her best
provinces without introducing large Russian armies,
and without, in fact, placing the sceptre of Austria in
the hands of Aussie.

The CZAR of Russia has thus become as much
master of Germany as ever NAPOLEON was. The
latter never issued an edict from the Tuileries to the
German princes more imperative than that now leaned
from Warsaw by the Russian cabinet. And the
Russian orders to Germany are precisely of the same
scope and nature as NAPOLEON'S were. Both pro-
scrilxd anything like freedom or constitutional govera-
anent. Wherever there was • popular feeling, a dis-
content, or • desire, no matter how moderate or just
—put it down with the sword. Such is the law—such
are the orders of St. Petersburg.
Now, we admit at once, that having spent and suf-
fered an mach to set Germany free from France, we
cannot at the present day undertake another war to
liberate Germany from Russia. Bat having lost
the power, and the wish to defend the independence
and the rights of every European country by arms,
we owe it at least to ourselves and to the world to
entertain and prorc.ii opinions consonant with our
dignity, our reputation, awl our constitutional cha-
racter. As BagliAmen, we must disapprove of the
domination and dictation of Russia over Germany, and
we ought to say so openly, instead of sneaking under
the gab,,rdine of Roma, and affecting to approve of
and adhere, to her Eurpesa dictatorship, with the
sneaking and the dastardly aim of not appearing to
resist hat in truth, we cannot help.
The peremptory order at present 'joined by Russia
to Germany is, Get into the old fetters which the Holy
Alliance forged for you. Re-establish the old federa-
tion and the Frankfort Diet. Let this be accom-
plished, and Russia has accomplished in Germany all
it desires. In the first place, with the Diet a condi-
tutiocal government is impossible. See the law that
it at this moment insists on applying to Hesse, and to
enforce which it has marched an army. This law is,
that no states or chambers can refuse the taxes or de-
mand to discuss their hart. If they dare do such a
thing, they shall be occupied by Austrian troops, and
the taxes raised by the bayonet. If the entire of
the officers of the army, as in Hesse, re-
sign rather than break their oath to the constitution,
the Diet pronounces them traitors, and orders their
plows to be Blled by Austrians. Such is the law of
the Diet and the Confederation, for which the Tines
congratulates Europe, landing the CZAR for timing it
epee the Germans. Then the Diet has established a
universal law of censorship. Books and journals are
under its especial extinguisher. Let the people, my of
the most enlightened part of Germany, enforce by
the unanimity and justice of their opinioas the adop-
tion of certain liberal er constitutional measures by a
prince's government, this prince may yield for a 6.120,
bat the assembled princes at Frankfort will soon undo
what he has done. The Frankfort Diet is a political
pepedom, with a dispensing power to release sove-
reigns from too popular promises or oaths. Why,
Prussia herself could not preserve even her present
constitution, moderate as it is; nor could Idsimus-
rem establish the liberty of the press, as was his
intention, if all these things are to be controlled, ao-
cording as it may seem good to Austria, and of coarse
to Ramis, at Frankfort.

Now, we may not be able to help these things ; but
is it not humiliating that we should have organs bass
enough to congratulate the country upon their happen.
log P The proposal; which Pram made for replacing
the old Federation, at least in the most intellectual and
developed parts of Germany, were, that there should
be a union of states, the people of each state choosing
a federal deputy, to form a lower house, with the
legislators of each state to farm a delegate to form
an upper home. This was the great principle of
representative unity for Germany, guaranteeing at
the same time the free enjoyment of its constitution
to each state. Here was peogteaee hen was the popular
easiest ; here we. what libsrsL =jilt rally to here
