that by Hamburgh Steamer a letter containing one Bank Note, be

LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 2, 1836

There is something in a State-established-system of
religious polity as inveterately hostile to the genuine
spirit of liberty, as such a system is to the pure and
simple religion which we find inculcated in the New
Testament. Wherever religion has been connected
with the State, it has degenerated into a dull an:l dead
routine of forms and ceremonies, and its Ministers have
necessarily become what the events of every passing
clay prove them to be, in this and other countries—the
advocates of abuses and corruptions without number,
naturally springing ou: of the unhappy and unchris-
tian association of temporal with spiritual things. It
follows, as a matter of course, that the Clergy should
be the enemies of Reform, and of all who either by
thought, word, or deed, are guilty of contributing
towards the improvement of our Institutions. They
know that when our Civil Institutions are improved
up to the demands of the present times, and brought
into harmony with the spirit of the age, their concern
will make a bitter bad appearance, and will not be al-
lowed to escape the ruthless hand of the regenerator.

Instances of this clerical abhorrence of liberal mea-
sures and liberal men are not of rare occurrence—they
are "as plenty as blackberries." Only the other di,v
this miserable and impolitic feeling displayed itself in
an attempt, on the part of the clergy of the diocese of
Durham, to spite their newly-appointed Bishop, Dr.
MALTBY. This learned and excellent man was the
friend of PARR, and has been distinguished by the
liberality of his sentiments, and his superiority to those
mean sectarian jealousies, which are so common anion,
the clergy of the Established Church. These were
sins not to be forgiven, and accordingly when the new
Bishop came to take possession of the episcopal resi-
dence, though the principal inhabitants of Bishop-
Auckland went out to meet him, and gave a him hearty
welcome, the clergy kept aloof So they did after-
wards at his installation ; and we would ask them,
if they did not, by thus omitting a customary
mark of respect to their diocesan, show themselves up
infinitely more than they did him whom they meant to
insult ; but who by this exhibition of pitiful malice,
has gained another claim to the respect of all good and
honest men. The people of Durham will not be slow
to appreciate the many good qualities of Dr.
7 MALTBY, and we are much mistaken if they do not
let the clergy know what they think of their conduct
on this occasion. We do not think the church has
any popularity to spare at the present moment.

The Denbigh Conservative Association celebrated
its first—and, we strongly suspect, its last—A univer-
sary, by a dinner on Tuesday last, in the Town-hall
of Ruthyn. Scarcely more than a hundred members
could be brought together on this occasion, notwith-
standing that the dinner (we quote the language of the
report) " consisted of ''every delicacy that the season
could produde"—an irresistible proof that Toryism is
at so low an ebb in Denbighshire, that not even the
