MR. DODSWORTHAND THE BISHOP

OF LONDON.

Gloucester Gate, Deo. 12, 1850.
MY DIAZ LORD,-1 have read your lord*hip's
letter to Yr. Bennett, published in the Times neweplyer,
and feel not a title hurt at one passage in it. Referring to
my thumb, which had been named amongst others, you I
oles-rve
Bapposing ev n that I had not objected (which, how- I
OM, I have none in the strongest manner), to sOMe Pmze
twee in the churcnrs to which son allude," Ito.
Of enuree this implicates me in a twofold charge-BM,
that I have ititrodu....l into my church practices unauthorised
or disapproved by your lordship ; and, secondly, that I
have resisted sour air hority or direction upon the subject.
In reply to these chug, e, I must say, that immediately
after your remit charge, I waited upon you to inquire whe-
ther the &nervations th.rsin made upon tee subject of ritual
observance were intended to apply to my church. You then
assured me that these obeervati s were not at all directed
against ; and yes were se kind ae to add that you had
always found me ready to attend to your pectoral authority
and advice. Tree only occasion on whisA your lordship ever
interfered in reference to the otuervances in my church was
six or seven years ego, upon an anonymous complaint being
made to you of the pr.tusion men which (owing to the
well meant z al of some of my ii ick), &oersted the altar and
olianc.l on a Wait Sunday. You then told me that you did
not object to such nee of flowers in moderation on great fen-
,'vats; hut that you thought, from my description, that on
that cassia' we had exceeded moderation. I immediately
promised that this excise ahould not occur again kept, as
your lordahii already knows, I have faithfully my
I am we, that, under these circumstanced!, you will relieve
me from the imputation which the words in your letter to
SU. "hawse seem to lay upon me.
I am, your lordship's faithful and obliged servant,
. DODS WORTS.
The Lord Bishop of London.

whisk you have quoted from my to Mr. Bennett
wilt bear the sense is which yen have understood them, as
:l ins to oaths churches to winch he refers. My meaning
have been more correctly expressed to the following
weeds: " Supposing even that I had not objected to some
gnsetices in the churches to which you allude (which, how-
ever, with respect to two of them I have dot.e in thornier/est
MT
he two are, St. Aerew's, Well street, and Mergarat-
Street Chapel. In the former of these cases I remonstrated
wry strongly who the incumbent, bat without effect: in
lie latter I objected to certain observsnees, some of which, I
believe were laid mid*, while others were suffered to con.
none till the conseeration of the new church, to the building
of which I commuted, upon the express condition that no
form should be practised therein which is not authorised by
the rubric, or sanctioned by established custom. I have
had occasion to interfere with the oh...trances of your
church, except e lib empire' to one practice, and in that
instant)* you seedily promised compliance with my wishes.
I remain, my deer Mr. Dod.worth, your faithful servant.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY EVENING.

Morey in the City is as last week, and no charge
in the rates has taken place. Neither has any farther
rise occurred in foreign places.
_

-
The Bank of England returns given by us last
night show a small decrease of bullion and other
changes which require no comment, as the operations
of the Bank slacken at this time of the year. The re-
tarts of circulation of the private and joint stock
banks for the week, as given by ne, likewise show a
slight decline in the circulation.
The accounts of the Bank of Fiance for the wet k
evading Tharaday, acember 12, show the following
results (1:1 for 25 francs):
Bullion

... .... £18,192.013

. .
Bullion on deposit 396,388
Crealsiion
Public deposits
Private dep sits
Bills discounted
GI ivernnient m MOWS

As compared with the previous week, the return
shows:
Increase of bullion
but ion in d. posit 19.895
Decrease of circulation 276,008
Increase of public deposits 373.024
Decease of private deposits
„ bale disconotcd
government securities
The noticeable feature in these returns is the rally
in the amount of bullion. The apparent decree's of
eirctlatione, bills discounted, and private deposits, is
owing to the monthly discounts of bills coming in the
lest week's return and swelling the amount.
The bullion market presents no striking feature
this week. A large stock of silver is now in the
market, with the prospect of a less pressing demand
from the Continent. We have to report a further
decline of gold at Hamburg, Amsterdam, and
Antwerp. 20 franc picots are lower at Frankfurt
end likewiee 6 franc pieces at Amsterdam and
Frankfort. In other markets and articles no altera-
tion is to be noted.
The amount of precious metals exported from
London since our last weekly return, we learn from
official sources, was 37,2891. and 9,017 ounces in gold,
acrd 131,000 ounces of silver, shipped as follows :-
1 Gold coin, to Boulogne, 2,0001.; to Sydney, 30,0001.;
to the Mauritius, 5,2891. and 1,790 oz.; to Rime, 57
oz. Gold b ire, to Belgium, 6,470 oz.; to Dunkirk,
1,200 oz. Silver coin, to Rotterdam. 20,000 oz. •, to
Hamburg, 4,000 oz.; to Belgium, 7,000 oz. Silver
hers, to Rotterdam, 100,000 oz. Toe total value of
the exports is about 107,0001. In addition to this
sum the Madrid, Peninsular and Oriental steamer,
took out 10,0001. _ _ _

- - -
The imports of specie by the Clyde, were 2,086,100
dole., or 417,2201., of which 1,331,483 dole. were
silver, and 754,617 dole. gold; by the Waterwitch
lrcm the coast of Attica, 11 boxes of gold and gold
dust. Total import upwards of 420,0001.
One of the most significant events of the week is
the speech of Mr. Brunel at the Hereford, Roes, ►nd
Gloucester Railway meeting, in favour of economy of
railway construction. When an engineer s) influen-
tial declares his decided conversion, shareholders may
entertain hopes of a reform in engineering expendi-
ture, which will hays a most material influence on
railway prospects.
The following is the usual monthly return showing
the average amount of bank notes of Irish bails of
issue in circulation for the four weeks ending Nov. 30,
1850, together with the ►miuot of coin held during
that period:

There is not a great deal of movement in the mar-
