THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1854.

gives the closing act, as we suppose, of the WIL-
BERFORCE (ROBERT) squabble. This worthy Trac-
tarian and Archdeacon had, it appears, published
a book on the " Doctrine of the Holy Eucharist,"
avowing, it would seem, opinions on that question
as remote as possible from Protestantism, and as
near, as different language would permit, to the
Papal dogma of transubstantiation. His brother
the Bishop fraternally commended the book and
it doctrine, representing it as containing the
" only views which can save the Church of
England at the present crisis." Hereupon Mr.
WILLIAM BROCK writes rather hotly to the mitred
brother, inquiring into the truth of his reported
commendations. The Bishop replied, justifying
himself and the Archdeacon, and after, we believe,
another exchange of epistolary shots, the Bishop
and Mr. BROCK parted. Mr. BROCK, however,
was not a man of the mettle to sit down quietly
in the same church and diocese with a Romanising
Archdeacon. He determines to have a judicial
decision on the Popish book. The Archbishop of
YORK is moved to unite in legal proceedings
against Mr. WILBERFORCE. The Archdeacon,
to facilitate proceedings, manfully avows the
paternity of the book, and the Evangelicals
saw victory as securely in their hands as
we lately imagined Sebastopol to be in those of
the Allies. But, alas ! they too were doomed to dis-
appointment. Mr. ROBERT WILBERFORCE discover-
ed that a doctrine which he vigorously espoused
four years ago, but has left undisturbed ever
since, the legal and canonical doctrine of the
Queen's supremacy, could be borne with no longer..
He resigns all he can resign of the priest, and
the priest's emoluments. His superior of York
accepts the resignation, and abandons at the same
time the legal proceedings. The Book and its
doctrines are' still uncondemned, and Mr. BROCK,
and those with whom he acts, have lost their ex•
petted triumph.
Mr. BRocKis, of course, sadly grieved; he expos-
tulates at great length with his P4iinate for giving up
proceedings without consulting those with whom
lie was acting, and " begs to ask whether his
Grace has legal grounds for accepting the resigna-
tion of Archdeacon WILBERFORCE after proceed-
ings had been commenced against him." The
Archbishop curtly replies—" I acted according to
the best of my judgment at the time. My
opinion remains unchanged." Mr. BRocK, how-
ever, though snubbed, could arguo still, and re-
cords his protest against the Archbishop's evasion
of a judicial decision in a full column of our con-
temporary from whom we quote ; and there the
matter, we suppose, will now rest.
In the details of these clerical squabbles it is
impossiblethat the public should feel much interest.
Clerics always did dispute, and always will. To some
of the more general bearings, however, of these
controversies none of us can well be indifferent.
Mr. BROCK appears but little of the Christian in
wanting to compel hi§ brethren to go to law ; the
Archbishop, on the other hand, seems but a timid
defender of his own faith. When Mr. BROCK
would stand on the technical ground, " once a
priest always a priest," he is but reviving the
mean subterfuge by which HORNE TOOKE was ex-
cluded from the House of Commons, and Mr.
SHORE so intolerantly dragged to gaol by the
Bishop of EXETER. Notwithstanding the legal
dictum of a learned Judge, common sense coincides
with general practice in permitting a very differ-
ent license to the clerical servants of the State, and

Crimea.

those which belong to the warlike professions.
Desertion is fatal to the conduct of the latter,
and can never go unpunished. But in the Church
a man's whole worth depends upon his honest ac-
ceptance of her Articles and Formularies. If he re-
nounces them in heart, we are compelled to com-
mend rather than to censure his withdrawal ;
indeed straightforward Englishmen complain of
Tractarians chiefly for remaining in the Church,
not for leaving it.
It strikes us also that the Evangelicals have not
acted a very dignified part in insisting, since the
GORHAM decision, so strenuously on the Royal Head-
ship of the Church. Before that event they used
to apologise for the fact, and to explain it away
as best they might. Now it is the main point
in their ecclesiastical creed. It is but a poor

decision for them. It barely tolerates them in
the Church, while it affirms the doctrine of their
opponents. Iu our judgment, and we avow it
openly, the controversy between Evangelicals and
Tractarians is rapidly forcing both into false posi-
tions with regard to the National Church; and
if the combatants have only as much sturdy theo-
logical honesty as their brethren on the other
side of the Tweed, it will, at no distant day,
force them both out of her communion. In fact,
the belligerents are, in our opinion, doing what
neither of them desire—they are disposing men's
minds to look without repugnance on the idea of
separation of Church and State.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday
closed steadily. The sales included 5,000 bales, of
which 1,000 wore taken for export and on specula-
tion. There were 100 bales • Pernain and Maran-
ham sold at skd. to 60., 200 Egyptian at sd. to 70.,
and 500 Surat at 3d. to 41d. per lb. The railway
share market was quiet, but firm.
The grain market has been very firm to-day,
and wheat ls. higher than last Monday.
In a report of the fruit trade by Messrs. Hough-
ton and Levy, of Liverpool, currants are described
as having been dull throughout the month, the
dealers not being disposed to increase their stocks
until they have more positive information of the
new crops, as the accounts lately have been of a
varied character. Holders, however, acting upon
their advices, have not pressed on the market.
There are no arrivals yet of new fruit, and as the
winter demand will shortly set in, should the
predictions of importers be realised respecting the
supplies, the quantity, to meet even a moderate
consumption, will certainly fall short. Raisins
and figs have had a brisk sale.
The accounts from the Baltic state that there
was great interest felt to ascertain the intentions of
the allied fleets. The French steamers, since their
return to Kiel, had been actively engaged taking
provisions on board and otherwise preparing for a
conflict or a longer stay in the Baltic, and they had
exhausted their coal depot, at which 22,000 tons
had been left. The weather was getting unfavour-
able, and it was feared the storms which early pre-
vail in the. Baltic would expose the ships of war to
considerable risk. Many of the vessels had been
damaged, and one French steamer came into colli-
sion with a vessel upon leaving the Baltic. The
French ship-of-war Jemappes was nearly lost, hav-
ing parted her chains and anchor, and been driven
out to sea. The officers of the fleet considered
that they could remain yet a month or six weeks
in the Baltic.
St. Petersburg advices of Sept. 30 quote the
rate of exchange on London for three months' paper
at 36 11-16 to and on Paris at 379 to 380 cen-
times. The shares of the Russian American Com-
pany were at 230, and of the Gas Company at 69.
The Five per Cent. Metallics were at 97 for the
first series of 1850.
The affairs of Mr. Edward Oliver, of Liverpool,
have been arranged so as to allow of the business
being carried on, and Messrs. Allen and Anderson
expect to be in a position to meet all claims, and
in the interim will conduct their operations as
usual, specially protecting the produce of their cor-
respondents.

the least elasticity. Consols have been quoted 95k
