then, they repent lin sackcloth and ashes, or die at
their post in their long cherished cause of despo-
tism, one point is clear, one truth is undeniable—
namely, that they have played a desperate game
and lost it ; that they have played at bowls
and have got rubbers. The Episcopal Bench
now stands precisely in the same situation as the
more aristocratical portion of the Clergy, before the
first French revolution. Both were pampered, lazy
luxurious, ignorant of the times in which they lived:
and heedless of their omens; but the one had a
justification which the other cannot plead, in defence
of its conduct. The French Clergy had no friendly
counsellor to warn them of the dangers of their posi-

tion; they had no: Earl GREY—no Lord BROUGItAM
—to point out to them the breakers towards which
they were rapidly a Ivancing; whereas the English
Episcopacy was solemnly and even affectionately
warned beforehand, that if it presumed to array it-
self in opposition tr*-the wishes of the people, it
must be prepared to abide the consequences. De-
spite this well-meant remonstrance, it resolved to
brave the worst—and that worst has yet to come.

Let not the Episcopal Bench lay the tlatering
unction to their souls, that in the ranks of their op-
ponents are to be found only the idle—the profligate
—or the free-thinking ! A more erroneous notion was
never yet entertained. The most respec'able—the
most influential—the most devout—the most intelli-
gent members of the community are against them
Those who have a vast stake in society—who have a
strong interest in the settled institutions of the
country—who are devout from principle—from edu-
cation, from habit—from instinct—from inclination,
—the majority of these are against them. In a word,
England, Ireland, and Scotland are all equally dis-
gusted with the conduct of the Bishops, and all equally
desirous to see them ejected from the House of
Lords. By such expulsion, religion will be bete•
fited, and bigotry be alone the victim.

In last night's Gazelle there is an official do-
cument issued by the Board of Health, recommend-
ing the measures necessary to prevent the introduc-

Lion of cholera. Among other regulations a local
Board of Health is recommended in every town and
village on the coast ; that every large town should
be divided into districts; and the sick be immedi-
ately separated from the healthy. It also recommends
the free adm'ssion of air into all apartments.

German Papers state that the cholera has greatly
abated in Hungary, and that Count CAPO DISTRIA,
in consequence of the late events at Poros, and the
absolute impossibility of reconciling the several
parties in Greece, has resolved to lay down his au-
thority and quit the country. He should have done
so long ago.
In the French Chamber of Deputies the amend-
ments of the Committee for abolishing the here-
ditary Peerage, as stated in The San of yesterday,
were adopted by a majority of 346, there being for
the abolition 396 and only 40 in favour (if the Peers!

We direct attention to a letter respecting Poland,

in another part of our Paper, by which it will be
seen that the boasted moderation of the Emperor
NictioLAs to that 'wham country betrays itself
in throwing the most meritorious of the gallant
Poles into dungeons, or sending them to perish
in Siberia. Clemency indeed ! but there will be
a day of retribution, and then !

We have by express the Gazelle de France and
the 31essager des Chambres, of yesterday's date,
with papers and letters of Thursday night, from
which we take the following :

PARIS STOCK EXCHANGE, THURSDAY, FIVE OCLOCK.

—The estafette from London having brought the price of
Consols rather higher, our prices opened rather better than
the quotation of yesterday. At the close of 'Change tke report
was circulated that the Belgians had accepted the conditions of
the treaty, wit!i the exception of that part relative to the debt,
which had caused the immediate despatch of a courier to the
Conference. This report, and the assurance that the King of
Holland will accept the treaty, caused our Funds to rise as high
as 6•2 f. 50c. for the Three per Cents., and 90f. 80c. for the Five
per Cents., with a tendency to further improvement. The
articles of the Moniteur and of the Journal des Debats, both
official, however plainly indicate that the Government felt yes-
terday, if it does not feel to-day, some doubts as to the willing_
ness of the Belgians to accept the treaty.
(From the Gazette de France.)
We learn from the Austrian Observer that the cholera had
sensibly diminished in Hungary. On the 26th ult. there were
no sick at Ofen. The accounts from Perth say that commerce,
which had been interrupted by the cordons, had commenced
to revive.
The following, dated Vienna, Oct. 10, is extracted from the
Augsburgh Gazette of the 15th inst.:—" Commercial letters
from Cracow mention that the Field-Marshal Paskewitsh, upon
being created a Prince, had also the estate of Pulawy, belonging
to Prince Czartoryski, conferred upon him as a fief for life.
This news, however, requires confirmation ; for the Russian
Crown possesses means enough to reward the services of Marshal
Paskewitsch without violating Polish private property. We
enjoy here most beautiful weather, which contributes to
improve the sanitary state of the city. Hopes are entertained
that the cholera will disappear in a few weeks, as it has already
assumed a milder character. It is expected that the Emperor
will leave Schoenbrunn towards the middle of the month, and
return to the Imperial Palace at Vienna. The last accounts
from Greece are favourable to the President, Calm d'lstria. He
is powerfully supported in the suppression of the insurgents by
the three Admirals of the mediating Powers. The heads of the
revolters will soon be delivered up to justice, to be punished ac-
cording to the laws. However well Miaulis may have deserved
of his country during the war of independence, now he is
highly criminal, having lost all claim upon the gratitude of his
country by the wanton destruction of the Greek fleet."
The same paper also contains a letter from Berlin, dated
Oct. 10, which says—" Although we may consider the affairs of
Poland as entirely settled, ,ct the Emperor of Russia has
thought proper to press as much as possible the levy of recruits
lately ordained in his Empire. For this purpose aides-de-
camps of the Emperor have been despatched into the Govern-
ments with necessary instructions."
Priirate letters from Moscow mention that the plague has
broken out in that city. The same letters also communicate the
intelligence of the spreading of the cholera, which has broken
out at Wells-a-lonz, in Austria, a short distance from Lintz.
Yesterday 72 new cases of the cholera occurred at Vienna.
There the total number amounted to 1954, and of deaths to 844.
On the 9th of October the Metalliques Five per Cents. were 84 ),
Four per Cents. 7414.
The Berlin State Gazette, of the 13th inst., brings no political
news of any interest. The total number of cases by the cholera
to Oct. 12 in Berlin was 1318, of deaths 830.
The Dey of Algiers left Paris on Tuesday night for Nice,
where it is his intention of passing the winter.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.--Strrim OF OCT. 19.
M. Mabul brought up the report of the Committee on the
Bill for granting a supplementary credit of five millions for the
relief of the foreign refugees in France. This report sanc-
tioned the views declared by the Minister on bringing forward
the Bill, particularly the principle that the refugees were not
to be received in a spirit of hostility to any Foreign States, and
that no hostile attempt against any such States ought to be
allowed to be organized by the refugees in France—a principle
which the Committee hoped would be equally adopted by fo-
reign nations. The report concluded by recommending the
adoption of the Bill.
The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of the Bill
granting eighteen millions for public works.
M. Voyer d'Argenson opposed the Bill. He said that it was
a mockery to profess to relieve th,e lower classes of the popula-
tion, by finding them work, to be paid for by taxes which would
fall most heavily on those very classes: A better way would,
he said, be to raise a special tax for their relief, and he Lhould
have no difficulty in pointing out from what class that tax
ought to be derived. A perpetual Committee might then be
elected to superintend the application of the fond, by means of
which the poor citizen would always know where to apply for
relief.
M. Auguste Giraud supported the Bill, as likely to tranquil-
lize the western districts, both by giving work to the unem-
ployed labourers, and by altering the physical situation of those
districts by the formation of new roads, which will admit of
more immediate and direct communication between the (Air:
ferent parts.
14. Charles Comte opposed the measure as an approach to
the Poor Laws, which had been so justly reprobated in Eng-
land. In the United States, the principle that every commune
ought to furnish subsistence for its own inhabitants was conse-
crated by experience.
The Minister of Commerce denied that the proposed Ines,
surd had the most remote tendency to the introduction of PeC,'
Laws, the very principle of which Was supporting the indigel!t
