THE LONDON AND WESTMINSTER
PURE WATER COMPANY..
The procuring of a plentiful supply Of Vrholeitisne w. ter, so
ardently desired by the inhabitants of this metropolis, and so
long sought by the scientific, encouraged by the Legi, attire,
is now on the eve of attainment. A plan for obtaining pure,
soft, and cheap water, will be laid before Parliament in the ell,
suing Session. This plan is partly original, though the place
from whence the supply will be taken was pointed out by the
late Mr. Telford, who, however, saw only one source of supply,
where two are now, by 'e3tperiment, shown to tekist. During
his time the local possesors of the land were hostile, they are
now friendly. Those sources of supply are at a height stICIA-
, cient to bring the water by its own gravity to all partt of Lon-
don and Westminster,
It is not necessary to prove the defective quality and high
price of the water at present supplied. The Legislature, in
1828 and 1834, took evidence of the former—every House-
holder feels the latter. The London and Westminster Water
Company, by uniting capitalists holding large shares with con-
sumers holding small shares (with special privileges), will
speedily improve the present system. Details of such shares
and of deposits will appear in the prospectuses before the end
of the month.
Directors will be elected from the Committee now in the
course of formation, (being qualified Shareholders,) and further

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 18341.

Our readers must, we believe, have shared our
astonishment at learning that the Bank of England
on Thursday came to a final resolution to reject in
its discount business all paper of any description
bearing the signature of a bank of issue, whether
private or joint-stock. They could not, however,
he surprised at further learning that this resolution
of the Bank has caused alarm and indignation through
the whole of the manufacturing districts. It throws
discredit on a large quantity of paper already issued.
It lowers in va ue a considerable sum of money—for
drafts and bills with which people pay debts are
equivalent to money—already in circulation, and must
nflict a proportionate injury on all those who hold
that paper. It singles out one species of mercan-
tile instruments which are generally current, and
For no reason, except that these instruments bear
.he signatures of rival establishments, it depreciates
hem in the market, and inflicts a loss on a great
number of persons.
Now, by what right does the Bank so decry
any mercantile paper ? We shall, perhaps, be
asked, why should not any one Bank be at
liberty to discount or not any paper that
is offered to it ? 'Why should we, or any
public Journalists, call into question the right of
the Bank to manage its own affairs just as it
pleases ? Therein lies the gist of the whole matter.
If the Bank of England were a private body we.,
should never trouble ourselves about its mode of
managing its business. But the Bank of England
is not a private body, and because it is a
public body, because it has received certain privi-
leges and a certain monopoly, it is bound to
act in accordance -with the principles on which it is
by legislation established.
All credit springs from commerce, using that
word in its most extensive sense. It is based on
future production, or -on commodities hereafter to
be brought to market. In no shape or form does a
particle of credit issue or spring from Government,
which produces nothing, and will have nothing
hereafter to sell. The notes or Exchequer Bills it
issues on revenue to be hereafter paid, is a false
credit; because all the credit which can be justly
and properly taken on its revenue, is in reality
taken on the commodities which are brought to
market to pay it. Thus, all real bona fide credit
springs from commerce.
Now the Bank of England, from greedy
avarice has demanded, and the Legislature
from stupid ignorance has given, the Bank,
not a strict and perfect, yet a very extensive mo-
nopoly of the issue of these credit notes, and made
them a legal tender, which commerce requires,
which commerce puts into circulation, and which
are essential to its very existence. It is the pos-
session of this monopoly greedily, and unjustly
asked, and most inconsiderately and unjustly be-
stowed, which gives to the Bank duties, and to
commerce claims on it, which do not belong to any
private trading establishment. , In accepting the
insidious privilege, it binds itself to all the conse-
quences

Every class of tradesmen, private bankers, joint-
stock bankers, and all others, have an equal claim
on commercial credit, proportionate to their
means, or to the commodities they are to circulate,
or hereafter bring to market. They have a right to
demand their share of the Bank. To exclude any
one class is to proscribe that class of traders. The
Bank lessens their profits, and in this age of com-
petition must, in the end, extinguish them. It
takes on itself a power of encouraging or discou-

Swee this article was in type the Bishop of EXE-
TER has announced that a corrected report of his

reports in the newspapers are incorrect. We shall
therefore abstain from further remark till we see the
corrected version.

alternately to the earth, and like camp followers, a
vile crew, it chtithes itself with the spoils and
plunder of the slain.

The Bishop of EXETER, in his Visitation
Charge at Honiton, made the following state-
ment :
In civil affairs it was considered necessary that the
parties whose duty it was to sit in judgment upon
them, and to determine upon, or to reject, measures
regarding them, should be really conversant with the
nature of the questions at issue. But as it regarded the
Clergy and the affairs of the Church, it was singular
that such knowledge was not deemed requisite ; and
could the results of such a system be therefore a matter
of surprise ? For instance, let them suppose that in a
council of war a number of Clergymen were introduced
for the purpose of deliberating and determining upon
some important military question. Was it not more
than probable that the conclusion they would arrive at
upon a matter with the details of which they were un-
acquainted, and of the nature and circumstances of
which they were utterly ignorant—was it not more
than probable, he would ask, that in a council so com-
posed the public interests must suffer ? And yet the
circumstance's of that case were not more incongruous,
nor could the consequences likely to result from it be
more pernicious, than in the case of a body of laymen,
or of naval and military officers, assembled to sit in
judgment upon, and pretending to legislate for, the
affairs of the Church, ignorant, as they must necessa-
rily be, of all those minute points connected with them
which essentially tended to render that Church effec-
tive. The Bench of Bishops was the Council of the
Church, which could never legitimately be composed of
men, who, whatever their pretensions might be in
other respects, were unlearned in the high ecclesiastical
matters so frequently submitted to their decision.
The Bishop made several other statements of con-
siderable importance, but we shall at present con.
fine ourselves to this one. He doubts and denies
the competency of the Legislature, composed of a
body of laymen, to provide for the Church ; and
claims for the Bench of Bishops, learned in high
ecclesiastical !natters, to be the exclusive Council
of the Church. He compares the Church to the
Army and Navy, and states that it is as incon-
gruous for laymen to meddle with the affairs of the
Church as for clergymen to decide on a naval or
military question. There is, however, a wide dis-
tinction between the Church and the Army or
Navy. The Church embraces, and the word means,
the whole congregation ; the Army and Navy are
but a small section of the whole community. They
are particular professions, the peculiarities of which
are known only to the members; but the t lurch
is followed by all, her doctrines are voluntarily
offered to all, and all by the offer are made the
judges of them. The Church is not for the priest-
hood but the people. In one sense the Church
and the Army and Navy are exactly similar;
the Anglican Church, like the Army and Navy,
is the offspring of legislation ; it dates from an
Act of Parliament, and, like them, is intended by
the Legislature to effect a public service. Though
the Legislature might not set itself up to judge
whether a naval or a military operation were well
performed, it never lays aside the privilege of de-
ciding whether the Navy and Army answer the pur-
pose of defending the country, for which they are
constituted ; and if the Legislature finds that they
do not, it remodels them without hesitation. In
this respect the analogy is perfect; and the general
Legislature—that body which called the Anglican
Church and the Navy and Army into existence, and
that body alone, can judge whether the Church, and
whether the Navy and Army, have answered the
purpose for which they were created, 'one was
endowed, and the others are paid.
The Bishop, however, would have the Acts
Of EDWARD VI. and ELIZABETH tO be
final and unalterable flaws, or only allow
them to be altered .. as the clergy, who
usurp the name of the Church, or rather as the
Bench of Bishops—a still narrower body, that
usurp the same comprehensive dictate.
If by the term Church the Bishop means doctrines,
no Legislature can alter them ; they must flow from
principles which are eternal, or from facts which
are irreversible. They are the logical offspring of
mental. perception—they are thoughts clothed in
words, and can neither be dictated nor altered by
positive laws. When something, like the rubric
and like the service and constitution of the Church
of England, has been fixed and sanctioned by law,
that, of course, can be altered by the same power
that sanctioned and fixed it ; but doctrines, whether
in religion or mathematics, laugh to scorn the im-
potent fetters of the lawgiver. But what the
Bishop means by the word Church is not doctrines,
not the whole congregation, including the priest,
but the priesthood alone ; and such being his mean-
ing, he claims for the Anglican priesthood a power
of making regulations, not only for themselves—
though that would be arrogant enough—but for
the whole congregation, and for all the high eccle-
siastical matters which concern the temporal mo-
rality and the eternal welfare of the whole people.
We shall look closer at this assertion on some
other occasion, in reference to the commands and
example of CHRIST, who never arrogated to him
self an independence of the civil authority, but
humbly and submissively bowed to its decrees ;
at present we shall content ourselves with
asking Tory politicians whether they countenance
the arrogant claim of the Tory Bishop to set aside
their authority ? The assertions are not confined
to the Whigs, but the whole Legislature, Tory as
well as Whig, is described as incapable of making-.
regulations for the affairs of the Church. By now
countenancing such ambitious claims, the Tories:
may possibly embarrass the Whigs, but they will;
elevate the clergy to authority equal to that of the'
LegiSlature, and render all legislation on 'ecelesias.
tical matters impossible, how wide so ever they may
extend. Such will possibly be the inevitable result
of a Church Establishment, placed under a
Legislature composed of men of various and
conflicting religions. Fortunately for the wel-
fare of society, no day now passes that
does not render more and more certain the
inutility of such an Establishment. The recent
Revivals in the Church of 'England, at Oxford,
and Exeter, in Bedford-row and Clerkenwell, as
well as the more recent Revivals in the Church of
Scotland, while mysticism. in literature and po-
litics, as well as in religion, is overspreading the
land, are fast disabusing the mind of that last pre-
judice on which Church Establishments had fixed
their hold—namely, that they prevented fanaticism,
and preserved a decent and' orderly train of religious
thought and of worship.

corn.

Our Contemporary has, before now, been warned
against confounding the nominal with the real wages
of labour, the price with the reward of labour. We
are sorry to see him misleading himself and his
readers by such a want of discrimination ; but we
protest against his ascribing to us the assertion,
that because labour is high p►iced, in our food-taxed
country, that the reward of labour is increased by the
tax on the labourer's food. Moreover, wP nowhere
said, " that the Corn-laws raise the wages of agri-
cultural labourers to the level of the increased price
of corn," and it is not honest to ascribe to us words
that v< e did not use:

Letters and Papers From Madrid of the 7th inst

of the scenes which preceded the confirmation o

The French journals of Monday, are more
an usually barren of Foreign or domestic news
of any interest. The Commerce says that it was
reported at Besika Bay, (the rendezvous of the
combined French and English fleets at the Dar.
dandles) that the Prince de JOINVILLE had ob-
tained a firman to pass the winter at Constanti-
nople, with the Belle Poule frigate of 60 guns.
A correspondent of the Edon eur states, that the
English are detested at Constantinople, and are
frequently pelted with stones by the po-
pulace, while the French on the contrary
are prodigious favourites with the most orthodox
iViussulmans. A French officer being mistaken for
an Englishman, was recently insulted, but when
the Turkish rabble discovered that he was a
Frenchman they made him a very handsome apo.
logy I If the reader ask do we credit such a state-
ment, we answer at once, not a syllable. It is a
mere sop to satisfy the cravings of national vanity.
In a similar style a Correspondent of the Tou-
lonnais, writing from Besika Bay, under date of the
26th ult., thus disposes of the Eastern question :
" What do the Russians want ? To invade the
Ottoman empire. What do the English want ?
To prevent that invasion, and to overthrow the
.Egyptian power. What do the Austrians want?
14e. sa.me as the English. What do the French want?
To defend the Ottoman empire, maintain the
Egyptian power, and to prevent any hostile colli-
sion." This is French all over ; but as regards
the views of England and Austria it is unfounded.
Neither of these Powers have a greater wish to de-
stroy the authority of the Viceroy in Egypt than
:they have to set aside the influence of the SUL.
TAN in Stamboul ; and as yet we have not heard
iliat- they were even suspected of want of good faith
towards his Highness.
'.1," A dispatch from the Minister of the Interior," says
a %Meaux letter, "has granted permission to the su-
.pericir officers of the army of Don Carlos, with the
Lexpeption of Colonels and Generals, to return to Spain;
as well as those of inferior ranks." The same dispatch
autlrories.the Spanish Consuls at Bordeaux and Oleron
to receive the submissions of Spanish refugees, and
grant them passports.
According to the Oriental. correspondence of the
Augsburg Gazette, the young Sultan sent an autograph
letter to the Emperor Nicholas, of which M. Rze-
wuski was the bearer, to assure him of his intention to
observe strictly the treaties in existence between 'Turkey
and Russia. The Russian Consul at Alexandria had
declared, in reply to Mehemet Ales mPnlce to order
Ibrahim to advance on Constantinople, tint a Russian
army should be dispatched against Ibrahim, if the Vice-
roy did not yield within one month to the wishes of the
Great Powers.
-" We learn," says the Semaphore of Marseilles, " that
Admiral Roussin had sent orders to Admiral Lalande
to sail in company with the English fleet to Alexandria,
and to act coercively against the Viceroy ; but that
these orders being contrary to positive instructions
which Admiral Lalande had received direct from Paris,
the latter felt himself bound not to ex, cute them. It
appears further, that Admiral Lalande has been ap-
proved by the Government, and that it is mainly on ac-
count of this difference that Admiral Roussin has been
recalled."

On the 28th ult., as we find by a letter from Al-
giers, the Duke of Orleans, after a grand review of the
troops, delivered to several officers commissions and
decorations of the Legion of Honour, which his Royal
Highness had brought out from the War Department.
The Duke was to embark on the Gth for Philippeville,
whence lie would go to Constantino, and return by
Bona. Abd-el-Bader had sent his usual presents, eon_
sisting of foar ostriches, several gazelles, two horses,
and some lions' skins.

BORDEAUX, OCT. 11,-A new despatch from the
Minister of the Interior announces that it is not only
the captains and officers of lower Tanks who may ob-
tain permission to return to Spain, but likewise all
superior officers, except colenels and generals.
According to the same despatch, the Spanish Con.
suls at_ Bordeaux and Oleron may, l►ke the Consuls at

cond, that it is very expensive ; and third, that the
owner of the soil is bound to make it as productive
tas possible. He is bound, therefore, according to
Mr: BOWEs)tO drain the soil, tind to ethplOy labour
611 it in every way which will add to its produce. But
then the expense ! again we are told that the eNs
pense is so gat ! Now what does the expense of
(training land resolve itself into ? Cutting; laying)
and filling ; loading, winning stones and quarry
work ; subsoiling, lime, &c., are the items which
make up the amount of expense. They all resolve
themselves into labour. The quarries, the chalk, •
the iron for furnaces to burn the lime, the clay
from which the bricks and other materials aie
obtained, are all worthless till labour gives a value
to them. Thus it is the high price of labour which
prevent:, landowners from doing what Mr. BOWES
Says is their duty, and stops those improvements
which would add to the fertility of the country.
In spite of the Morning Herald, we must again
assert that the Corn-laws are the main cause why
the price of labour is so high, and we make the as-
sertion while we deny the statement of the
Herald that the Corn-laws increase the
labourer's reward. The Corn-laws were enacted at
a period when prices of all kinds had been, by
artificial means, forced to an extraordinary height;
and they were intended to keep the price of corn
up to that height. They partly succeeded, and
from that time to this the price of corn has been
on the whole higher in this than in the neighbour-
ing countries. They have compelled the whole
community, including the labourer, to give more of
whatever they have for sale (the labourers have
only labour) for their food than is necessary. The
labourer, we are aware, in con6equetiCe.of the in-
creased price of food receives an increase of wages,
but whether the increase in his wages will equal the
increase in the price of corn, is the point to be ascer-
tained, before it can be asserted that the rise caused
in the price of food by taxing it gives him an in-
creased reward. This is a point which we have, in
common with others, argued over and over again,
and have endeavoured to prove that as the tax
limits the supply of food, and is so intended, it
lessens the reward of the labourer, though it raises
the price of labour.

ONE OF THE STANDARD'S DAILY FALSEHOODS.-::
" Although Mr. James was a Whig, and has been charged
with undue partiality in recording the exploits of officers
professing the same politics, the only mention he m►kes
of him is that in which he records the capture by the
gallant Admiral's ship Egyptienne of the French frigate
Libre of 40 guns. Unhappily, however, the Admiral
was amusing himself ashore when this exploit was per-
formed ; his first Lieutenant being in temporary com-
mand of the Egyptienne at the time." He was com-
pelled to stay to attend Sir H. Calder's court-martial,
against his inclination. We will take the opportunity
of correcting, another statement of our anything-but-true
Contemporary. "Marshall," he says," that nzost eulogis-
tic and voluminous of naval biographers, has only devoted
a page to Admiral Fleming's services." The reason
is this, Marshall compiled his biography by applying to
the different officers for a statement of their services.
Each roan, therefore, in Marshall tells bis own tale,
and very naturally omits nothing that is advantageous
to himself. Admiral Fleming, however, on being ap-
plied to, declined to puff off himself and his services
under Mr. Marshall's name and protection. Hence
the paucity of Marshall's eulogy on him. We are glad
to be reminded of this circumstance by the Standard,
as it confers honour on Admiral Fleming, by demon-
strating that he could rely on his merits without the
aid of literary quackery.

Experience tells us that the condition of the
agricultural labourers in Eilgland has been conti-
nually deteriorating since the Corn-laws were passed,
which is a sufficient proof that their wages have not
been raised equally with the rise in the price cf
corn. By far the greater part of their wages are
spent in corn, and, consequently, a very small in-
crease in the price of that, such as is caused by
the Corn-laws, suffices to deprive them of macy
comforts. But another, and the most important
consideration, is, that their wages will be deter-
mined by the relation between the supply of, and
'the demand for labour, as well as by the price of
corn. Now we learn from Mr. BOWES'S state-
ment, as well as a thousand other similar state-
ments, that the demand for labour, in every branch
of society, is ditninislicd or slackened as it becomes
high priced or expensive. The increase in the
price of corn, therefore, which causes an increased
price to be given for labour, at the same time les-
sons the demand for labour, and prevents the rise
wages being eqUal to the rise in the price of
