THE CHURCH IN THE COLt)NIES.

( From the Colonial Gazette.)
The " Expenses of the Ecclesiastical Establishments
LI the Colonies"-that is, the amount of public money
paid annually to Clergy of various religious denomina-
tions-are stated in a Parliamentary Paper, printed
by order of the House of Commons during the Session
just closed. In the table given below, the reader will
find a " general recapitulation," or abstraet of the ac-
count. It presents some results worth notice .-Church
of England, 134,450/. 10s. 11d. ; Church of Scotland,
9,967/. 6s. Bd. ; Dutch Church, 6,8861. 4s. 6d. ; Church
of Rome, 14,7631. 1 15.4 d.; Totals, 166,067/.135. sd.
Cape of Good Hope, Wesleyan Minister, 751.; Jamaica,
Wesleyan Chapel, 500/. ; Jamaica, Baptist Chapel,
600/. ; Jamaica, Jews' Synagogue, 1,0001. ; General
total, 168;242/. 13s. sd.
The Archbishop of Canterbury told Lord Normanby
that he did not complain of the amount of public money
given to the Church, but he could not agree that all
religious denominations should be put upon an equality.
In so far as the State recognizes other sects by
giving money to them as well as to the Church,
the claim of the Church to exclusive aid from the
State is disregarded ; and it was against this, probably,
that the Archbishop intended to protest ; for, as respects
the amount of aid contributed, the superiority of the
Church over other Christian denominations is maintained.
For instance-in Upper Canada, where, as Lord Dur-
ham's Report declares, the members of the Anglican
Church are a minority, the sum of 7,476/. 15s. 10d. is
allotted to them, while the Church of Scotland receives
only 2,1181. and the Church of Rome 1,6001. Out of
the total 168,2421. 13s. sd. the Church of England gets
134,450/. 10s. 11 d.-the lion's share certainly. The
venerable Primate had no cause to grumble at the pro-
portions in which the grants were divided among the
different religious denominations.
Looking a little further at the account, we see that it
is not to the numbers of the clergy, so much as to the
higher rate of payment, that the excess of the Church
receipts is to be attributed. At Gibraltar, a Catholic
Vicar-General and four other clergymen divide 300/. ;
while two Chaplains to the Garrison, belonging to the
Church of England, obtain in salary and allowances
745/. 7s. 4d. In the lonian Islands, three Chaplains
of the Establishment receive 6851,, and three Roman Ca-
tholic Chaplains 91/.
At the Cape, the sum given to the Dutch Church is
5,547/. 2s. 2d., but it is divided among twenty-three
ministers ; while six English clergymen take 2,313/. 15s.
The Dutch are paid at the rate of 2411. ; the English
385/.
In Upper Canada, twenty-six clergymen of the
Church of Scotland are paid 57/. per annum each,
amounting to 1,482/. ; the salaries of the English
Church clergy vary from 10C/. to 3001., the great
majority being 1701 and the total 7,4761. 15s. 10d.
The sum of 1,0001. is paid to the Roman Catholic
Bishop to be divided among twenty-nine clergymen of
his church in Upper Canada.
In Newfoundland, the Venerable the Archdeacon is
paid 3001. ; the Roman Catholic Bishop 75/.
And so it runs throughout the Colonies. Complaints,
at any rate, should not come from the Established
Church ; and perhaps the Bishops and Archdeacons,
now in England, would act wisely in pocketing their sa-
laries'and saying little about them.

THE LORD BISHOP OF GLOU-
CESTER AND BRISTOL.

There is in this country, on the wild and secluded
range of the Cotswold hills, a small and obscure village
called Winstone. The late Rector died a few months
ago, and nearly at that time it so happened that the
advowson of the living, together with some adjacant
property, was purchased by a gentleman named Lyons,
who is we believe a resident solicitor in London. The
cure of the parish of Winstone had for several months
been entrusted to a curate who it appears gave much
satisfaction to the parishioners. When the living be-
came vacant it reached their knowledge that this cu-
rate (a Rev. Mr. Holder) was to have the living. A
consultation took place among the principal parish-
ioners, and a petition was drawn up and presented to the
Bishop of the diocese.
To this petition the Bishop returns the following
answer:—

" Cloisters, Westminster, May 18,1839.
" have received this morning a letter from
you, and signed by eleven of the parishioners of Win-
stone, complaining of the neglected state of your parish.
The only instances which you specify are that the Sun-
day school has been suffered to decay, and that there is
no Sunday and day school in the parish. This is in-
deed a serious and distressing thing. lam sorry that
this has not been sooner communicated to me, and I
will iose no time in writing to the Minister of the parish
on the subject ; but in regard to a more efficient clergy-
man, you must be aware that the nomination of the in-
cumbent rests not with me but with the patron.

" I am, Sir, your very obedient, humble servant,
" J. H. GLOUCESTER and BRISTOL.

The Churchwarden of Winstooe."

Now, in the first place, the decay of the two schools
are not " the only instances the parishioners specify of
the neglect complained of." They instance first and
ioremost the almost deserted state of the parish church,
and afterwards the increlsed attendance at the dissent-
ing chapel ; plainly proving the strength of the cause
which compels those who previously preferred and ad-
hered to the Church to have recourse to a place of
worship from which they differ ; forced thither by the
alleged misconduct of the minister of the Established
Church. As his Lordship deems the minor charges
" serious and distressing," it is fair to assume that he
entertains a still stronger sense of the graveness of the
more serious ones which he omits to notice. Under
these circumstances it might have been expected that,
in-toad of confining himself to a letter to the minister
(which has produced no result), his Lordship might
have recollected that though the presentation rests with
the patron, the veto rests with him ; a veto entru,ted
to him by the Church for the express purpose of guard-
ing parishes from the spiritual injury of inefficient
ministers.
The public, and especially they who belong to the
Church, will learn with surprise and pain that within a
few weeks of the date of his Lordship's letter the curate
was inducted into the living, and continues to reside and
officiate, though we are credibly informed that the dis-
charge of his spiritual duties has become nearly a sine-
cure—that occasionally no one attends the church, and
that no steps have been yet taken to restore the means
of education.—Cheltenham Examiner.

GUIZOT AND THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
—" Honour to M. Guizot," saith the Standard. M.
Guizot is a Protestant and a Conservative, consequently
not likely to be unduly prejudiced against a Protestant and
Conservative Established Church—and as authority has
always been of infinitely greater weight with the " Peel
and Dawson crew" than the most cogent arguments, we
recommend to them the following opinion of the man
whom the Standard delighteth to honour, concerning that
Church which it equally delighteth to support. In
Guizot's twelfth lecture on the General History of Civili-
zation in Europe, pp. 345 and 346 of the Brussels edition,
speaking of the Reformation, he says, " In England it has
permitted the hierarchical constitution of the clergy, and
the existence of a Church as full of abuses as the Romish
Church has ever been, and infinitely more servile." For
once we can join in the cry raised by the Standard, and
exclaim " Honour to M. Guizot."

LORD CLARENDON AND THF.

SPANISH PATRIOTS

Of the powerful impression made upon the public
mind in Spain by the admirable speech of Lord Claren-
don in favour of the Queen's Government, so coarsely
aspersed by the Marquis of Londonderry and his friends,
some idea may be formed from the following gratulatory
letters addressed to his Lordship by General Espartero,
and the patriotic Tertulia of Madrid, for which we are
indebted to the Spanish correspondence of the Morn-
ing Chronicle. We have learned from a different
source that the Noble Lord has received several letters
breathing the same sentiments from distinguished
Spaniards of the highest rank ; and it is not at all
unlikely that his Lordship's able defence of the Con-
stitutional cause will be further stamped by the appro-
bation of the Cortes :

" DUKE OF VICTORIA TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.

" MY LORD—I have had particular satisfaction in
perusing the speech pronounced in the House of Lords
on Spanish affairs by your Lordship ; and my heart has
been deeply affected by observing the interest which
your Lordship takes in this magnanimous but unfortu-
nate country struggling to secure its Liberal institu-
tions, and consolidate the throne of its legitimate So-

vereign.
" The masterly manner in which your Lordship has
analyzed and reduced to nothing the errors entertained of
our political situation ; the favourable and honourable
notion your Lordship has formed of the Spanish character,
the exactness with which the Pretender and the principal
personages of his party are described, and the generous
incentive your Lordship offers to England to increase
her aid in order to secure to us more rapidly the triumph
of the noble cause which we defend, are so many sublime
acts of generosity, which shall eternise your Lordship's
memory and the people's gratitude in this ill-fated land
and the pages of history—a feeling now universal
amongst us, and the only tribute worthy of the noble and
generous Clarendon, to whom this feeling is consecrated.
" For my own part, I feel the greatest pleasure in as-
suring your Lordship of the general existence of this sen-
timent ; and in thus fulfilling my duty as a grateful
Spaniard, and complying with the obligations of our
former friendly relations, I have the honour, my Lord,
to repeat myself your affectionate friend, &c.

" Duke of VICTORIA.

" Urbina, August 17."
(From the Patriotic Terlulia of Madrid.)
" TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON, &C. &C.

The speech delivered by your Lordship in the
Upper House of Parliament in England, on the 23d of
last July, has been received in Spain with the strongest
marks of favour and approbation. Foreign journals, con-
taining full reports of it, were sought by the public with
the utmost avidity. It was immediately inserted at length
into all those of the empire ; and as if this were not
sufficient to satisfy the general demand, various trans-
lations and copious editions of it were, and are, being
made, which will give it a degree of publicity never
before experienced by any foreign document amongst
us. It is because the Spanish people, up to the
present moment, had heard no friendly voice from
abroad make known to Europe their political situa-
tion, and the true genius of that struggle in which
they are engaged, and felt too well the importance of
the contents of that speech being diffused through every
corner of the empire ; it is because they have seen all
that is noble and generous in the national character,
duly appreciated, and their reputation vindicated by
your Lordship from the calumnies with which it has
been sought to be darkened by the envy of some and
the ignorance of others ; and because they are unabh,
otherwise to recompense the benefit conferred upon them
by this speech, that they take a pleasure in making it

known universally to the country—a pleasure naturally
resulting from that gratitude proper to noble and gene-
rous breasts, and most agreeable, doubtless, to hire
whose lot it has been to draw it forth.

" But some citizens who assembled together for the
purpose, and many others who participate in and sub-
scribe to their opinions, thought they would not suffi-
ciently discharge the debt of gratitude they owed your
Lordship, if they did not thank your Lordship in the
most solemn and public manner for the faithful descrip-
tion of the state of Spain given by your Lordship to the
House of Lords, the profound knowledge which your
Lordship displayed of our affairs, and the extreme ac-
curacy with which you touched upon various other topics
interwoven with them. By some your Lordship's just
defence of the Queen's Government and Generals, whose
conduct, seldom severe and generally mild in the ex-
treme, has been sought to be conf,unded with the
ferocity of the rebel chiefs, has been particularly ad-
mired ; by others has been still more esteemed
the picture which your Excellency has given of

the ridiculous Court of the Pretender at the momont
when lua declared hi, General-in-Chief a traitor, and

When very soon aft,,r he had to ask his pardon and
commit to the flames his own condemnatory decree ;
thus has your Lordship made known not only to the
people, but to Kings, that which the sceptre would be
in the hands of him who in vain aspires to wield it
against the laws and the national will. Some whose
constant endeavour it has been to establish in Spain the
representative system, with all its natural consequences.
hat's' been plrticuiarly gratdicd by the favourable no-

lice which your Lordship takes of our infant political
customs and legislative assemblies, while those who had
the pleasure of knowing your Lordship's promises in our
favour on taking leave of the p,•ople of this city, re-
peat and declare that, as a true Englishman and man of
honour, you have more than redeemed these pledges ;
but that which one and all of us recognise as of
greatest importance in your discourse, is that which

your Lordship says of the absurd project of a mar-
riage between our Constitutional Queen and the rebel
son of a rebel Prince. There is so much and obvious
truth in all you have said upon this point, that nothing
more could be added by our public men, if they had to
express their opinion upon this base and impracticable
union ; but at the moment when the faction approaches
closer than ever to the impossiblity of their endeavours,
and being no longer able to cohceal from the eyes of
Europe their weakness, have to seak other means, if not
to conquer, at least to save themselves from total de-
feat, a good opportunity presented for declaring that in
such a measure they would find no refuge ; and, per-
haps, there was prudence, too, in the declaration, since
events more or less remote might awaken in the minds
of certain silly or disaffected persons the idea of such a
marriage.
" Thus all good Spaniards join in congratulating
your Lordship upon the services rendered to the cause
of liberty, of civilization, and the prosperity of this
country, by this explanation. Well known and recog-
nised have been at all times the interests and relations
which have united this country to England ; and proved
by glorious deeds and recent and important aid, is the
sincerity with which both nations are united in alliance
but the opinion of the British Parliament, so respectable,
which your Lordship has enlightened in a manner more
perfectly than perhaps was ever done before in the case
of Spain, not excepting the case of the question and
times of the war of independence, the character of which
it was easier to understand and appreciate, the opinion
itself of Great Britain, in which your words cannot
fail of producing great effects, and that of its enlight-
ened Government, which consults, directs, or follows it,
cannot fail to influence, powerfully and favourably, that
country in its policy towards Spain. Thus shall be
made more solid, and perhaps enduring, the alliance
between the two nations, and the civil war be terminated
which afflicts us, more readily, and without injury to our
liberties, and the guarantees which they possess in the
Constitution of 1837. To your Lordship shall belong
much of the glory, to both nations great and reciprocal
advantages, and to us well deserved and deeply felt
gratitude, who subscribe ourselves,—Your Lordship's
respectful and bumble servants, &c. &c. &c."

SPRING RICE v. SUMMER WHEAT.-0
the Chancellor of the Exchequer it may be truly said, tha
" nothing in his political life became him like the leaving
of it." Like a good man and true, he has, towards the
end of this far niente Session, hammered away right
bravely at the Corn-laws, and shown himself re;olved to
put the saddle on the right horse," in spite of Attwood
and :all his works, backed by the in-Hume-an attacks of
the Kilkenny cat, or rather of all that is left , a
bit of the tail. The last onset of the national cashier
is perhaps his most furious and most forcible. It is
no Eglinton tournament work, with shaft cut across
the grain, rounded lance head', and soft sawdust to
receive the " seat where honour dwells," of discomfited
tinfoil Nobility. No ; it is a re al, right down English
blow, fair into the bread basket, supported by some
hard hits on the knowledge box , and an appeal to the
" bowels of compassion," which must seriously have
astonished the weak minds of the " elegant extracts,"
who still preferred duty, soda water, and killing time,
to ahocting grouse, girls, or other game in the provin-
ces. If you don't believe us, judge for yourselves, and if
you be dirt dealers, alias landorvners, tremble. " The
Hon. Member for Kilkenny attributed the high rate of in-
terest aitogether to the Bank. But the present state of
the Corn-laws was at the root of the question.—( Hear.)
It could not be expected that the country should make
payment for five millions of fox •eign corn, and that should
not create an exchange again st the country. Whatever
banks existed in this country, tl- le necessary consequence of
that altered balance must be !Ix e production of all the phe-
nomena which the Hon. Mc zber attributed to the ex-
istence of the Bank of Engler, d. He thought the course
pursued by the Hon. Member was very unjust. It diver-
ted the attention of the peo pie of England and of tha
public from the real cause of the whole matter. If we
had a more free trade in forcit fn corn, and it was paid for
by the manufactures of this cot- ,ntry, we should not be sub-
ject to casualties so great, nor dangers so pressing. This

NEW YO

TItICALS 1

( From the New York Morning Herald, of Aug. 13.)
Next Monday, or rather next Monday night, com-
mences the grand theatrical campaign in our " Great
Metropolis." On that night Forrest opens the National
Theatre, in his favourite part of Metamora, a character
which is not only exclusively his by right of purchase,
but which we venture to say no actor in or out of ex-
istence could render so popular as himself.
The Bowery of course will not close, especially as
for some days to come, they must have nearly a mono-
poly of the theatrical business. Hamblin thus having
the field to himself, intends to revive some of Mas-
singer's old plays, a measure which will meet our most
hearty approval, provided he does not permit either of
his " talented adaptators" to emasculait the text with
their scissors, or to improve it with their pens.
The Olympic and the Franklin are at the present
time doing the " cheap and nasty" business. The for-
mer splits the ears of the groundlings with spouters of
the very greenest order, while the latter, less ambitious in
its aspirings, delights those who are admirers of herculean
feats with the outre contortions of a troop of " voltigeurs."
Niblos will of course keep the field yet for some weeks,
and as a large portion of the audience there are formed
from a clique of conscientious personages, who will visit
a garden to see vaudevilles and rope-dancing, when
they would not, to save their souls, go to a theatre to
witness a play, we may expect to find as good an at-
tendance, and to get as bad a glass of punch at the
garden, as we have been accustomed to since the arrival
of the Ravels, and the advent of Burton, upon whose
shoulders the mantle of Jack Reeve is said to have
rested. This is the present position of the Thespian
army now, but let us see what are its future prospects ;
for in this case the race will certainly be to the swift,
and the crown of victory awarded to the strong. We
shall therefore review the talent of their respective
leaders, and calculate the intellectual and moral stamina
of the rank and file. _ _ _

The managers of the National, as every body knows,
played their cards badly at the close of the last season,
and in consequence they shut their doors a few weeks
sooner than they had calculated on. They did not,
however, sit down quietly to mourn over their mishaps,
but instantly commenced the re-embellishment and re-
decoration of the interior of the edifice ; and we are
happy to bear testimony to the liberality, genius, and
taste which have been displayed by the proprietors and
the artists in their employ. We venture to assert,
without fear of contradiction, that no theatre on this,
and but few on the other side the Atlantic, will present
a more brilliant coup dceil than the National, when
crowded with the beauty and fashion of Gotham.
As we do not expect, however, that the New
Yorkers would attend a theatre, merely for the beau-
ties of its interior, we will, en passant, take a look at
the comparative merits of the two companies, which
are just now resting on their arms, or travelling with
the speed of steam to the scene of action.
'lle following, we believe, is a pretty correct esti-
mate of the talents of the Park and National employees,
both present and prospective :

ful violinist, and the latter asiuppose that as Hughes has
s,-cond leader to the Coventlgone to Eur,,pc, very little
Gaiden orchestra for the last alteration will be made from
season. the last season.
Leaving the orchestral department out of the ques-
tion, we find by the foregoing enumeration, that the
two companies are nearly on a par with respect to
numbers, but that the National is the strongest in
point of material and talent, especially in the higher
v,alks of the legitimate drama.
In tragedy, the Park only presents the additional
name of a Mr. Shaw—we believe they might as well
have taken Freer—who, according to the Courier, is to
"do the tyrants." It is, however, somewhat unfortu-
nate for this gentleman, that a namesake of his has
lately been doing a little in the tyrannical line, at the
Bowery, and although his efforts may have been much
to his own satisfaction, we believe he has found very few
admirers or imitators. We presume therefore that the
new Mr. Shaw will not follow in the footsteps of his

illustrious predecessor. In comedy, with Power and
Placide, they may certainly do something, especially
with the assistance of Miss Poole, and our old ac-
quaintance of the Surrey Theatre, Mrs. Fitzwilliam.
In opera, the Park will rely on Guibilei and Miss
Inverarity, but they will not be able to bear away the
palm from Shirreff, Bailey, and Wilson, unless the Park
management support them with some good second-rate
singers, and a chorus efficient both in numbers and
musical attainments. In ballet, Mr. Simpson must pro-
vide the same adjuncti—or fail.
Now let us look at the force of the National. For-
rest is too well known and appreciated to need any
comment. A full house may, therefore, be calculated
for every night during his engagement. Can any one

doubt but Charles Kean and Vandenhoff will -draw,
when sustained by such artists as the two Wallacks
and Connor ? Of Miss Vandenhoff the London cri-
tics have spoken favourably ; but independent of that
circumstance, the rarity of a debutante in the higher
walks of the drama cannot fail to prove attractive
to such lovers of novelty as the denizens of this city.
In comedy, the National appears a little the weaker of
the two, but not sufficient, we believe, to turn the scale,
provided Wallack brings some novelties in the shape of
interludes and farces, and scientifically concentrates the
talents of Browne, Mitchell, and Williams, on those
nights when Mons. Alexandre and Yankee Hill appear.
The public will thus perceive that the rival houses
are nearly balanced, and that to the perseverance and
tact of their respective managers they must, after all,
depend mainly for success. The struggle will be despe-
rate, for the fortunes of each depend upon the result.
The outlay of both has been unlimited, and to succeed, or
even get a bare return upon the capital employed,the most
energetic competition must be kept up, coute qui coute.
There is no doubt but their expenses, without the stars,
will be upwards of 600 dollars per night, and therefore
they must have an audience which on an average will
yield 750 dollars throughout the season. The ex-
penses of the National are calculated, in the best in-
formed circles, at 450 dollars, exclusive of stars, and to
pay they must take 600 dollars, or lose money. The
question then is, can the city sustain three large and
three small theatres? and that question will be tested
before another year expires.

Hurprian Diet has ra-
solved to deliberate, in the first place, on the Royal pro-
EE
positions, and is now already engaged with the levy of
recruits. We learn from good authority that an address
from the Diet will be shortly sent to his Majesty the
Emperor, requesting that the coronation of the Em•
press, as Queen of Hungary, may take place next year
at Presburg, in order to combine with that ceremony
the commemoration of the coronation of her Majesty
the Empress Maria Theresa, a hundred years ago ; and .ii
thus to render the ceremony more imposing.
Count Von Richfeld, hitherto Charge d'Affaires of
Austria at the Court of Brussels, is appointed Ambas-
sador at Carlsruhe.
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 4 —Hafiz Pacha was last
week in great danger of atoning for his defeat with his
life ; the Divan was uncertain whether, according to
ancient custom, the silk string should be sent to the
General, or whether he should be tried by a court mar-
tial, of which the Prussian officers should be members,
when the Prussian Ambassador Baron Von Konigsmark
generously took the Pacha's part, and prevailed on the
Port not only to abstain from inflicting any punishment
on him, but likewise to leave him in the post of Governor
of Sirvas, which he has filled since the death of Reschid.
Prudence way, indeed, have likewise influenced the
Divan, as Hafiz Pacha has many partisans in the army,
who unequivocally manifest their disapprobation of the
manner in which S iadulah Pacha, the present Coro-
mander-in-Cnief has treated his predecessor, when he
caused him to be taken as a prisoner to Sirvas, and
scarcely deigned to give him a short interview. M. de
Bella, the Belgian Charge d'Affaires, has entered on
his functions, and M. de Achard means to leave by the
next steam-boat.
AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 3.—The Austrian Observer, of
Aug. 27, has :.ecourits from Constantinople to the 14th,
which contain little of importance. The sanitary state
of the capital was very satisfactory.
The Count Von Besmurk, Lieutenant-General in the
service of Wurtemburg, has arrived at Amsterdam.
We find from the Austrian Observer that Prince
Metternich is so far recovered that no further bulletins
of his health are to be is-ued.
BERLIN, AUG. 29.—Rahme Effendi, Turkish Charge
d'Affaires, at this Court, died yesterday of consumption.
He was interred yesterday evening between eight and
nine o'clock, in the manner prescribed by the customs of
his own country, in the enclosed burying ground out of
the Halle Gate, where two other Turkish diplomatic
agents are buried, viz. :—the Ambassador Azig Ali
Effendi, who died in 1798, and Mehemet Erad BeY
