THE BISHOP OF LONDON ON THE LATE ARCH-
/3168CP or Cserrxririly.—On Sunday morning the Bishop
of Londcn riraebed at the yarish church of Broadstairs,
taking for his text the Lth verso of the 7th chapter of
Revelation. It being All Saints' day, the discourse of
the bishe p had refer ace chiefly to the happy state of Vie
mintly bast above, and the hol" qualifications of the
taints en earth. In alluding to the death of the late
arehbisliop, he said :—" We are met together this day on
a very solemn occasion; wo are commenzimting the
saints glory, and this diocese is mourning the departure
el tine who lived here amongst us :or the last six years •
truly blameless Christian lift. How is it that •
man in an exalted station, with all the temptations
of abundant wealth, with many pressing cares of
secular business, es able to live that consistent
Christian life, of which the head of this diocese and pro-
vince just departed was a notable example ? Centainlyby
having the root of Christian life in the heart; by living
iu his inward man a life of faith and prayer : and then,
amidst all tumults and temptations of outward life. Hod
keel akm tare, and a pattern of saintly virtues. It has
been my privilege, during the last twelve years, to live in
very intimate relations with the last two Archbishops of
Canterbury—two men holding the very highest position,
next to royalty itself, in this realm ; anti I can truly say
that it seemed to me ever to be a blessing to this church
and nation that two men, thrust to such pre-eminent
posts, were not law exalted in their worldly rank
than they were in their conisistent Christian character. A
good thing indeed for the church of Christ if it is presi le
over by those who are first in all Christian graces. Both
the one and the other will be long remembered by those
who were privileged to have intercourse with them." He
added that the influence which each exercised in their day
and generation by a quiet enduring Christian life would
long be felt by all who were privileged to be brought into
their intimate society, and he appealed to his congregation
to all endeavour in their respective walks to live that con-
sibtent life of Christian principle, that when they were
called they might be able to give a good account of them-
selves, and join the great company of saints in heaven.

TEE PROSECUTION OF THE REV. W. J. E. BEN-
ET:Tr. or Fanatic —The Lamaism of this cause before the
Bishop of London's Commismoners has been at last fixed
for meat Thursday, at elaven o'clockt at Loodo9-houte.
It is right that the public should be informal that the
Church Discipline Act (3 and 4 Viet., cap. 86, sec. 4) ex-
pressly (Erects that " all preliminary pooeedinpi shall be
public ." The public are therefore entitled to admision to
London-house as much as to Westminster-ball, unless,
after "special application of the party incised," the
Commirdoners shall after hearing the parti?s, " direct
that the same, or any part thereof, be private.' Thus This ex-
cept:on is intended to apply to ewes of scandalous immo-
rality, and as nothing of the kind is charged on Itr. Bus-
men, it is not to be supposed either that he will conde.
ecend to make any such applitatiors or that if he made it
the Commiesiosen would listen to an application so
entirely opposed to the spirit and to the terms of the act.
—Record.

A CLERGYMAN SUSPENDED YOU DRUNKENNESS.
—At the Chancellor's Court, York, held in the cathedral,
yesterday, the cue of Morrissey r. Robinson was hurl.
It was a one brought under the Church Discipline Act,
sent to that court by letters of request of the ehop of

his lordship's secs etary, against the Her. John Robinson,
rector of the parish church of Bowsaw, Cumberland, then
resident curate of the parish of Chilton, in the dime's of
Oxford. The charge against the defendant was for
cueing scandal to the church by having been guilty of
drunkennesswithin the dime, of Oxford, for which he
wu cited to answer articles in the above court. Certain
preliminary 'proceedings had been taken, and • Mr. Mien-
herd appeared on the part of the promoter, and Dr. Dean
We. far the defendant. The Chancellor decreed the
charges proved, and suspended the defendant far ampler.
