THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1862.

The house was occupied last night in considering
the cases of two vary different classes of persons—

more different, perhaps, now) than they were three

or four score years an:,,,,—tiplers and clergymen.
The alterations in the Tippling Act are required
by justice to tl'ae trade, and the only question was

whether tv.,6 provisions of amended aet should be
extended to the vending of beer, wine, and cider.

Again justice was readily listened to, it being agreed

that as the traders in those articles had received no

fair notice of the proposal to apply the bill to them,

they ought to be let alone for the year at least.

There was also a formal objection of some weight.
But when the house got from spirits to spiritual
men, the debat, became quite lively. It was Mr.
BOUT/RIB'S Bill, as amended before a select com•

tnittee, which came before the house. The object

of the bill was the very simple one, as it would

appear to most persons, of enabling a clergyman
to renounce his proft;,sion ; and while renouncing it,
and of course all its emoluments, to be held free
from an:f disabilities attached by law to that

proft,ssion. Justice here would seem to be

r,s plain as in the case of tipplers, and
those who minister to the desires of tipplers.
An officer in the army or navy if he give up his

profession, is no longer bound by its rules or amen•

able to its authorities. Why should a clergyman
if he withdraw from the Church be any longer re-

sponsible to bishops or the ecclesiastical courts.
Why should he not be as free as the officer who has
sold out is from responsibility to the Horse Guards
or tr., courts martial ?

the most amusing thing of all was that the
Select Committee—and the House was with it—.
were exceedingly anxious to prevent the seceding
clergyman from becoming a member of Parlia-
ment. It seems almost ludicrous, but Mr. Bou-
VERIE said that on no disputed pont was there
so large a majority in the committee on the side
of what seems like intolerance and persecution in
its way. Two of the oddest of reasons were as-
signed: Ist. The seceding clergyman ought not, it
was said tq be placed in a better position than
those who did not secede. Why not then grant
the right to be members of Parliament to clergy-
men as well as to the other servants of the
State ? If a clergyman suited the electors and
wished for the post, there seems no reason why
he should not fill it. Mr. MIALL was an ex-dis-
senting clergyman, and he might have been
elected while a clergyman. Why put church
clergymen in a worse
position than those of Dis-
senters ?

But, there was a reason No. 2, and that was,
that the select committee were " unwilling
to admit within the house gentlemen who,
in their capacity of ministers of religion,
might have had an opportunity of acquir-
ing great influence over the minds of those with
whom they had been brought in contact !" Mr.
BOUVERIE seemed to disclaim this fear himself
but his sapient majority in select committee were
overpowered by it So the bill is still to contain
one little penalty—one certainly which could never
be felt twice in a century—on the clergyman who
dissents, He may not represent his fellow-men in
the Hones of Cummons! Can folly go further ?
What the House of Lords will do with the bill we
cannot guess. SAMUEL of Oxford will of course
fight hard for the indelibility of the very holy orders
which he confers.
