LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 23.

Tne Bishop cf EXETER wIl! now, it is to ba hoped,
rest satisfied that Le cannot, by a side wind, revive for
any inaction' purpose either the Upper or the Lower
Reuse of Ome,cation ; and that he, in his high sta-
tion, is just as amenable to the Queee's ordinary tri-
bunals as the meanest of her subjects. In his relent-
less persecution of Mr. Sainte, he had the satisfaction
of thrusting that victim of his episcopal wrath into
Exeter gaol ; but, after his scarcely lees vindictive
persecution of Mr. oultrlAM, he will have the morti-
ft:ration of instituting this more fortunate object of his
ecclesiastical bigotry into the vicarage of Brampford-
Speke ; besides, it is very sincerely to be trusted,
paying him his legal costs. And, by tis ducomtiture,
that great principle of comprehension which has so
long adorned the Church of En,land, is re-established
and confirmed.
In the midst of the high church confusion woes:
confounded, which has followed the decision in Mr.
Goausar's case by the Privy Council, two things eve
very apparent. First, that the noise, the turmoil, and
the disorder are entirely clerical ; and are coon led
(even amongst the clergy) to a couple, or at most to
three bishops, to a few tractarian archdeacets and a
crowd of silly curates, whom Oxford has let loose
on society, whose reading is greatly in ad-
vance of their judgment, and who, seemingly,
will remain all their lives what certainly they now
are, great boys. S.condly, that these ecclesiastical
rioters, in spite of all their protestations, their memo-
rials, and their flood of pamphlets, have not agreed
on what it is they want.
They are all, it is true, vastly dissatisfied with the
composition of the appzllate court which rebuffed the
dogmatil tyranny of Bishop PHlLeorrs; so dissatis-
fied, indeed, as to be nearly as rebellious and revolu-
tionary in speech as the ettOwLEits and GeowLees
of the Crown and Anchor Tavern. But, unlike that
red agricultural conclave, they know net what they
want.

Some bawl out for Convocation ; others shout for a
Synod; one turns to the Bishops for help ; another
demands the interference of the Laity to coerce the
bishops into furious courses ; this pamphleteer places
all his hope in dogmatic teaching; t'other is strongly of
opinion that in the greater excommunication only is
there any safety. Canon TOWNSEND, of Durham,
notwithstanding the cool 6,000/. a-year he gets out of
th 3 Church for teaching the doctrines of the Reforma-
tion, posts off to Rome and begs Pto Nosni to
add to his own troubles and instruct us heretics,
by summoning a Oenerrl Council; whilst Pro-
fessor MAURICE, of King's College, issues penny tracts
in Fleet-street, recommending hid reverend brethren
visit to his tailors' shop somewhere near Oxford-street,
and there learn that Clwisran ..Fortalisne is the
remedy for all their ecclesiastical woes as for all
our national griefs. Mr. SEWELL, of Oxford,
and late of St. Columba's, Ireland, contemptuously and
angrily rejects and re:mdiates Convocation : stamp-
ing his foot he denounces it as " a civil creation—a
clerical parliament—an institution for purposes of
finance—to which the church owes her present trou-
bles!" After the fashion of the Cameroniane, no-
thing less ti an " a synod of Guti's ministers, for
proclaiming His word," will satisfy this gentle-
man who seems to know a little of everything
but the Bible ; though " with what form and
precise jurisdiction," he intends to clothe his
synod, when ho gets it, is, he says, " a ques-
tion for the profoundest research!' Mr. BEN-
NETT, on the other hand, implores the Laity of
Belgravia to arise and mob Buckingham Palace—" to
set the church right in this her danger." " The reme-
dy," he, with comical mystery, assures thit pious but
polka-loving locality, "is with you I" His neighbour,
Mr. Ism, of the less fashionable, and, we fear, the
also lets moral Brampton, is much of the same
mind : for he thinks that " a Bishop does
not understand theology ono shade better for
being a bishop; nor a priest for being a priest ;'
whilst Mr. KEBLE, rising in audacity, boldly denies
that the bishops " are representatives of the general
mind of the church." Nor is this denial of Mr.
KEttLE'S with him the mere proposition; ho draws
from it a practical conclusion, almost as revolu-
tionary as the decision LEDRU ROLLIN came to when
he resolved to the blouses of Paris, that the Roman
expedition being an infraction of the constitution, im-
posed on thee: the obligation of rebellion. For,
argues Mr. KEBLE, the bishops not being the repre-
sentatives e the general mind of the church, the church
never assentc d to the powers of this J ud icial Committee;
and for want of its assent, and because the act clothing
it with powers was pealed in the session in which
ton Irish bishopric. were suppressed, it is the duty of
the church to resist the decrees of that tribunal. And,
in like manner, Mr. MASERU, Mr. DODSWORTII, Mr.
NEALD (all but Dr. PUSSY, struck dumb by the decision
it may be presumed), indulge in what poor SYDNEY
SMITH (oh, that be were still with us to pillory such
ecclesiastical puppyiem !) used to call their " little
books of nonsense."

To calm tho perturbation, to smother the rebellion,
and to avert the insurrection of these red men
of the Church of England, oar busy Diocesan has
introduced a bill into the House of Lords—not to
send them all to the treadmill ecclesiastical—but to
erect • purely spiritual court, of bishops only, " to
determine any question of doctrine or tenets of the
church of this realm arising either in a criminal or
civil snit."

In such an enactment the first thing that strikes
one is the strange inaccuracy of its language. " The
church of this realm !" There is here either igno-
res°. very extraordinary, or (more likely) pretensions
very presumptuous. Fur of " this realm " the encl.-

siastieal establishment of the southern division of~tb
island as not the only church. Blore the throe with Scotland, the " realm" aoesisted of Englatui only; alter that union, it incloded all Great Britain; atii;„
sequently to the union with Ireland, the wad
• realm" signifies the united kingdom ; and the dif.
ference between the meaning of the terms " realm" and
o dominions" is, that whilst the former to exclusive
the latter is inclusive of the colonies and t ran/Irwin;
dependencies. Now, u the established eourch of this
part of the kingdom is not the estabhshed church of
the northern portion of this is and, it is only by eft
abuse of terms that the church of Eogland and lie.
land can be called " the church of this realm.'
But the pretence on which the bill d is, that
a court, composed of spiritual persone, is nereesszy
to
give satisfsc ion to the church in the d-dertumstiou
of such question'. Now, admitting for an ins-ant
this to be so, Bishop BLOXFIILD ought, I there
be any such necessity, to have plucked up courage
to have gone much further than he prop-aes te
do. For, alter all, his new tribunal o!
only to have appellate jurisdiction ; the h'il still
leaves original jutisdiction over " gootio is of
doctrine or tenets of the church of this realm," to be
exercised by laymen officiating as judges in tie ecele•
siastical courts. Th.-re is an inconsistency item quite
fatal, we submit
, to the assumption i.: wide, the bill
originate s, and wholly at variance with t.... theory
that in criminal or civil suits questions of doctrine
ought to be decided by churchmen. For, ("act the
Bishop's bill, and nine-tenths of tit's-, quer•iiats will
still be decided by lay judges; it will way b-; where
length of puree enables a litigant to upper!, that the
episcopal court will come into o:ieratiee.
But the pretence is wholly unfounded. Thtre is
DO general wish for niy such court on the: part of tux
church. The ultra high churchmen, uwe Lave stew,
repudiate it as wholly insufficient for the emergency
ox crisis to which, in their eau& d the
church has been brought ; and the low churchmen
are utterly opposed to any measure, b: it whi.r it mar,
that will increase the power of the tistcps ere jot;
whilst to the co; tritution of •• this ream;," a court
composed of spiritual persons is u terly repro:ant:
it would be intolerable al ke to all our national trarli.
tions and to our legal habits. On this last cint,
deed, Bishop BLOMFIELD himself would epee: to
have misgiving., for his bill only eirecta Lis ep'••
copal tribunal to certify ite opinion to the Judicial
Committee ; and though it gee; on to cite: tf•.a.t the
opinion " shall he binding and conclos!ve for tle pu-

be specially reported by the said Jir1:•:•..1 c,eni
mittee to her MAJESTY in council," it add.
the important words, .• together wit t !heir ed.
vice to her MAJESTY on such arpral." New,
if the opinion so co titled "shall be nirrlirg tad
cmclusiA e for the purposes of the appeal :" ni y
notwithstanding the Judicia' Coins:tit, es Las to rep ,rt
the opinion to the Succreig.i, wits their own ad.:ye

nay, at present it would be meat prob.b/e- -that !'7.e,

So-m.lRn would have to choose bete •:.e

Sovereign, in such a dilemma, weeld be
to seek responalble aid in de•erruinirg ult'rh
to prefer. So that this precious bill mlghr attire:rt. 7
farce the decision of " questions of doctrine tr tett.,rs
of the church of this realm," on the political net
for the time being ! Such are the elastuditi, • hi:r
commit when they meddle with matters ofthi<:,r.
The bill is, in truth, a measure to place t,t-
reign in a"Ex ;" to increase the at: • -•.'

and that probably is fiao very be,, vs.on
;even for its summary rejection. By re: c •

THE CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Milt
reedy have discovered that his Savings Banks Bill is
an unsuccessful attempt at legislation. Since the
house adjourned for the Whitsuntide rreese,
st-ance has poured in upon xemonattance, and repre-
sentation upon representation, until the right hon.
gentleman's budget of " unanswered letters '

followed the introduction of the Stamp

the serge. gate meeting, held ct St. NI 1r: en's-pia,e,
last week. They tell Sir CHARLES We et? very
plainly that his treasurer system will not work: aid
that, except as regards the appointment of inspeet"
the bill contains nothing which is calculated either to
increase the utility of savirgs bank•, or to angina'.
their stability or safety.
The appointment of government inspectors of
savings banks is not objected to inane qu.rtor. The
trustees and managers of most of the he its mtge.
indeed, that this part of the measure should be passed
into a law. The superintending committee of :he
Bioomebury Bank are of opinion : " That the appoiLt-
meat of permanent inspectors, duly qualiti,d, woul
establish a sufficient cheek without interfering with
the existing arrangement of w oi-conducted banks.'
At Warrington the managers have resolved, That
this meeting desires to express its approval of the
provisions introduced into the bill for the appoint-
ment of inspectors." And so say the moortgers of
the savings bank at Grantham—" The inere:tion and
audit proposed by the bill present the only alter:it:ors
which it is desirable to introduce."

But whilst the savings banks agree upon th'e point
they also agree that the proposed division 01 the
responsibility between the government and the
managers—by the appointment of ',salaried treasurer
for each bank—is in the highest degree objectiJnab:e.
A " Memorandum of the new Savings fink
sent up from Dundee, declares that "Midi 11
division of responsibility would lead to con-
fusion, would be derogitory to the p-esent
trustees and managers, and incompatible with the in-
dependent discharge of their duties." 'lip Glasgow
managers are of opinion, "That the appointment of
paid treasurers should be dispensed with, or limited
to those cases in which the Inspector or the
trustees may recommend its adoption." The
Warrington trustees declare that the treuurer-
ship clause " is extremely objectionable, inasmuch as
it tends to place the management of the institution
entirely in the hands of paid ottixrs and
thus virtually to nullify the sup:rvision of those
gentlemen who day by day devote their attention to
the interests and salutary operations of the bank.
The superintending committee of the Bloomsbury
Savings Bank, one of the largest in the kingdom,
agreed to the following resolution : "That Weil-eon-
elected hankie do not require for their benefit the
proposed arrangement of an indirect guarantee,
through the appointment of a triteesurer, tor do
the depositors need it for their security." The super-
intending committee of the Brighton Savings Bank
go even further. They say "If the appointment of
a treasurer, as proposed, be persisted in, this com-
mittee entertain no doubt that it will be followed by
the resignation of the managers, and that a largo
portion of the public who have hitherto taken
in
in-
terest in these institutions will no longer join n Pm"
meting their welfare or prosperity."
The banks also declare, usei pore, that the PeePcla
