At an Indian wedding, at the Phillipine
Islands, the bride retired in order to, go down to the river to
wash her feet. While thus employed, an alligator seized her :
her shrieks brought the people to the place, who saw her be-
t Ween the monster's teeth, and just drawn under the water.
The bridegroom instantly, with his dagger in his hand, pursued
the monster. After a desperate conflict, he made him deliver
up his prey, and swam to the shore with the body of his dead
wife in his arms

PRICE SEVEN PENCt

THE BISHOP 'OF PETERBOROUGH.

The, questions proposed 'h3y this ierterible
Prelate to those w l o coirie:to'hith as Candidates for

Holy Orders have been fully justified by'a learned
and able Correspondentin this Paper. The sub-
ject, however, we find, has since been incia
dentally taken up in The Bury Gazette, a new
Provincial Journal, but which by its spirit 'intel-
ligence, and political rectitude, -deserves and is
likely to secure a permanent establishment. -To
that Paper we are indebted for the following
article, which we shall resume till the whale is
concluded :
REMARKS on a SECOND ATTACK -on the BISHOP of
PETERBOROUtiII in the HOUSE of LORDS, June 7,
1822.

The following remarks are confined, to what
the Editors of the Public Prints have given us as the Debates
in the Rouse of Lords on Lord DACHE's Motion,- (fn the
real Debates these remarks might have been of a very different
nature. The writer regrets that accurate documents on these
subjects are rarely to be met with.

REMARKS. '
On perusing the Debate in the House of Lords of the 7th
instant, on Lord Dacre's presenting the Petition of,die,ltev.
T. S. Grimshawe, Rector of Burton, Northamptonshire,
against the Bishop of Peterborough, for refusing to license the
Rev. E. Thurtell, whom he had appointed his Curate at Bur-.
ton, on the ground of his not giving satisfactory answers-to the
Bishop's questions, 1 was tempted to throw together a few
hasty remarks on the subject. In these remarks, -whateverbe
their want of Connection or importance, I shall at least evidence
my own opinion of this transaction, and I confess I have par-
tiality enough for it to wish 1 may find it entertained by others
as well as by myself.
I consider this_renewed attack upon Bishop Marshin. the
House of Lords as a part of that system, resorted to by the
Whig Faction that has long disturbed the quiet of the realm, to
undermine all persons and all things opposed to their destruc-
tive line of politics. It is one among their many instruments
by which they hope, under cover of the distress and confusion of
the times, to turn out the present Ministers and to get into of-.
fice themselves ; a despairing effort to bully and bluster their
party into power, and in which, I trust, their success will prove
commensurate with their deservings ; will convince them that
they possess less of the love than of the rooted dislike and se-
rious apprehension of their country.
There are certain adversaries with whom it is almost impos=
sible to preserve our temper without something that looks like a
dereliction of our duty. 'Men who take up with every slander,
and use it for every purpose, cannot be said to stand upon much
ceremony with those they mark out for sacrifice. Towards
such Wnig advocates of, it should seem, almost any constitu-
tion and religion save their own, we need be in no particular
alarm how we carry ourselves. Of one thing we may rest as-
sured, that mildness of demeanour will not do our business.—
Their spirit is not so tamed, their neutrality not so won, their
resentment not so softened. 'We must get upon other groUnd
with the insolent Whig faction of the present day. We-must
contend with them in their own way, repel them with their own
weapons, lash them with their own scorpions, break them on their
own wheel, and, if they be all too lost or insignificant fur these
resorted operations, we must pack them oft with their own in-
difference and treat them with their own scorn.
There is a medium in all things. The Clergy are certainly
a patient body of men. Professionally, perhaps,. it is necessary,
in some measure, that they should be so, but that patience
has more than her " perfect work" which stoops to every in-
dignity. Where contempt is calmly born,, from weak and from
coarse minds, we shall be sure to have enough of it. If our
Bishops will consent to become the butts of such men as Lord
Holland and Earl Grey, they shall presently be made to feel
how often this sarcastic disposition will be indulged in. From
their delicacy they must look for no respites from ridicule, nor
for any softenings of uneasiness from their mercy. These
Whig Noblemen have long been thorns in the side of the
Clergy, merely because the Clergy have wanted a proper spirit
to resist them. Had every Right Rev. Prelate, attacked, by
their coarse invectives, stood up in his place and vindicated his
order as Mr. PhillpOtts, on a late occasion, vindicated the Dur-
ham Clergy against Earl Grey, and put this hot-headed Mob
Orator to " a perpetual shame," Bishop Marsh would not now
probably have had the mortification to contend with his insult-
ing and methodistical accusers. That descent from his literary
dignity might at least have been spared him.
The ground of this reiterated attack seems to consist, if the
public papers are fair records, in denying that Bishops have
any right to take such means as they judge proper of discover-
ing beforehand what are the religious tenets of candidates for
Holy Orders, or of Clergymen licensed to curacies, or institute
to benefices. This surely is an opposition to ecclesiastical au-
thority that cannot be maintained. Have we an Established
•Church, and is a Bishop not entitled to the credit of under-
standing on what foundation it is established ? And if he be a
competent judge herein, is he not entitled too to know what
others think of the Church, and whether, like himself, they cor-
rectly appreciate its excellency in having " Jesus Christ him-
self ' for its " head corner stone ?" And would it not be an
omission of a most solemn duty, if, of persons so soon to be-
come fellow labourers in the same vineyard, he were to ask no
questions for fear, forsooth, that he should be obliged to lie4r
ignorant, or irrelevant, or wild and heterodox answers ! Are
we to set the gates of our National Church wide open and to
.let all. enter in that hill,. upon a mere subscription to the arti-
cles and littirgy, with, an implied reservation that the interpre-
tation thereof may be considered as entirely within their own
,breast ? Surely this can never be looked upon as a qualifita,-
don for the Ministry on the one part, or an adequate discharge
of prelatical duty on the other.
'These, believe me, are not times for any relaxation of estab-
lished discipline, or any commutation of established rights and
authorities. At a season when Sectaries are'every day increas-
ing—are so increasing as to boast .that they now numerically
make up nearly one half of the British Empire—when our
Evangelical Divines, feeling the popular pulse as they go
along, are with silent step perpetually approximating to these
Sectaries—when a toleration of so ample nature is granted to.
dissenting prejudices and opinions, as no former times were
ever incautious, or indifferent, or unwise enough to hazard ;
and when Roman Catholics axe hoping to break through those
wholesome restraints by which they have hitherto been pre-
vented from disturbing the peace of that Churdn, which, were
it in their power, they would anathematize and root up as
heretical to morrow—is it at such a season, and under such
circumstances, that Bishops are forbidden to investigate whether
a candidate's religious persuasions be in unison with, or
in opposition to, the established doctrines ? When . or:.
thodoxy in Church and orthodoxy in State are almost what-
ever any one may chuse to make them ; when every weak
enthusiast is complimented as a " Master in
,Israel," and
the fanatic of the conventicle considered as worthy .of
being " weighed in the same balance" with the sound, and
rational divine, are we to be told by these Lay Casuists in
Theology, that it is " a cruel practice to examine Curates upon
the Articles ;" " a tremendous grievance" to " close all
those openings in the thirty-nine articles purposely left for the
scruples of conscientious minds ;" * and to • shut out of the
Church any persons who might be willing to enter it ?" * Surely,
surely we shall never be deluded into this covert recommenda-
tion to fill our EStablishment with " Jews, Turks, Infidels,
and Heretics."

I cannot but think that Bishop Marsh has taken a just view
of our wants and of our dangers, and has justly, conscientiously
acted upon it. Whether he has, in every instance, discreetly
acted upon it, I will not undertake to say. A ,deviation fium
common practice will require more than common fore-thought
and sagacity, and nothing will be received as a compensation
for the infringement of "settled customs and forbearance, short
of the most acknowledged necessity. That necessity, however,
does appear. " The many•different ideas about orthodoxy" I-
raider additional tests of orthodoxy desirable. What we be-
lieve as to our politics, what we believe as to our religion, re-
quires to be submitted, Under existing circumstances, to the
purest standard and to the sharpest ordeal. • What should we
think of a candidate who declared ltis political tenets to be
founded upon the Creed of Lord Holland, and his religious no-
tions upon the Evangelized Scruples of Lord Galthbipe ?
Should we instantaneously admit, or instantaneously reject, men
so prepared for the work of the Ministry ?"
