THE BISHOP OF EXETER.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
In the early part of the week there was a case in the
Court of Queen's Bench which deserved more attention
than it received from the hands of our liberal brethren of
the Press. It was that of the dispute between the Chap-
ter of Exeter and the Crown, as to the right to apFo'nt,
to the office of Dean, which was vacant by the (teeth 0'
the late Dr. Landos, uncle to the gifted L. E. L. We
have every respect for the clever Dr. Phillpott's, who, as $
member of the Press, though rather of the slender pam-
phlet than the broad sheet, is entitled to every consideration
at the hands of his brethren of the broad sheet. But the
Right Rev. Peer has so often come before the public in
his character of a politician, that we shall be pardoned for
saying a few words in reference to the share which ;he
has had in this Deanery question, and the part vihiel
he has played in the diocese over which be has bee!'
appointed Bishop. When the Bishop of Exeter was ap-
pointed to the diocese over which he presides with se
much grace, it is needless to remind the reader that be
obtained that preferment by a timely recantation of big
early opinions, and a seasonable adhesion to the altered
principles of his friend and patron the Duke of Welling-
ton. The Bishop had no sooner entered on his diocese
than he began to look out for his kith and kin. The
prrcentorship fell vacant. This office was worth some
2,0001. a year, and the nomination being in the Bishop,
although the. Chapter held a veto over it, the worthy
Pre!ate named his own son. The Chapter declined to
receive the young man, and the Bishop then nominated
the Rev. Thomas Hill Lowe, who held two fat living;
in Worcestershire. The Chapter accepted the said
Mr. Lowe, and that Gentleman having vacated the
two fat livings in Worcestershire, the Bishop's son Isla
forthwith installed therein, and he was the gainer by the
tra,isactionef a comfortable settlement for one of his hope-
ful progeny. The worthy Prelate has neglected no or
portunity since for fastening his offspring and kindred on
the public through such patronage as his opportunities
offered him. This response to the paternal feeling is at
all events creditable to his character as a man, however
much we may lament the mode by which a dignitary of the
Church of England may provide for his family. The
shop had no sooner secured the reward for his timely COl:
version, than he began to make due provision for his
his offspring. Two daughters were married to clergy,
men of the diocese, for one of whom he has provide':
handsomely with a Cornish living; while the other en. 101:
the dignified position of Bishop's Chaplain. One son,
ae
has been before stated, has received two fat livings in
Worcestershire ; another has had the living of Stoke'',„.
leignhead ; and a third, we believe, has received profit'
able preferment in Cornwall. It is evident, therefore;
that the good Bishop has neglected no opportunity 0'
providing for his offspring ; and, whatever love he V.y
profess for the Church, it is quite evident that he P.'
lost none for his family. The dispute as to the Deanery
has opened a new point in the character of the Net'
ehich it is worth while for the public to watch.
The Crown has held the patronage to that office ev,e,
since the Reformation ; but at the last election t 0
"
Chapter, moved by our good Bishop, endeavoured "
c;
shake off the trammels of Regal authority, an
up for independence. They discovered by the statutes
_
of their foundation that they were bound to elect their
own Dean, arid that it would be contrary to the law tO
~
submit to the dictation of the Crown, which had prevailed
for three hundred years ; but they did not recollect that
the Crown, whose authority they resisted, had relierL.
them from the immunities and responsibilities which
tb
Popish foundation bad imposed on them.
As this subject is now under the consideration —Aft"
Court of Queen's Bench, we will not pursue it fartber:,
but we beg our readers to bear in mind, that while the
Bishop and Chapter of Exeter resist the authority'of.the
Crown on the one hand, in obedience to their statute,,, they
upset the authority of the statutes on the other hand, by
accepting exemptions which the prerogative
only could have afforded them. of the Crown

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS'

(THURSDAY EVENING.)
POST.—The English funds were flat to-day, 'Q cense:
quence of some sales made of Three per Cent. Reduced
stock, and of Three-and-a-Half.per, Cent Reduced, by the
Government broker, supposed to be for ateount of 00
savings' banks. Consols left off at 914 to' for the open'
ing, and Exchequer Bills at 255. to 275. prem. The pre-
ceeds of the sales referred to (about 30,0001.) would pro'
bably be reinvested in Commercial Exchequer poer.
Money was worth about 3 per cent. in the English-gm"
per cent. in the foreign house.
Great Western Railway shares were 41 to 3 prem.,
London and Blackwell 2to 4 prem., London and South-
ampton 19 to 20 prem., London and Brighton 54 to idis..
Eastern Counties 15+ to South Eastern and Dover 101
to I per share, and British Iron Mine 501 die. per share. _
We do not hear that the advices brought by the Biitish
Queen steamer from New York have led to renewed tran9-
ections in the American securities. On the contrary, the
market for them is understood •to continue exceedingly
sluggish. The " Improvement Bill" recently passed bi
the Legislature of Pennsylvania makes appropriation:
amounting to 3,000,000 dollars. It contains a prove
which requires the United States Bank to lend the State
4,000,000 dollars at 4 per cent. per annum, under the
penalty of a forfeiture of its charter. This measure haviP,g
been devised and advocated by the Members who recant!l
denounced the Bank as an insolvent institution, and utterly,
unworthy the confidence of the people of Pennsylvanhi'l4
severely commented upon in the journals. The object
suspected to be that of putting down the Bank rather thb:
to provide the necessary funds for the purposes of t d
State. Great doubt is expressed of the willingness no
ability of the Bank to supply the money.

SUN.—Exchequer Bills closed rather lower this after'
re.•
noon, viz. 255. to 275. premium ; but Consols were r nA.v
cisely the same as yesterday, viz., 911 to ;73- el.
The New Three-and-a-Elalf per Cents for the opening
were done at 99.1 ex. div.
The Foreign Securities looked rather better again to-
hy, but the chief speculative business was in Columbia;
Bonds.. TheiSix per Cen.s. of 1824 rose to 271 14-; an
the Old Bonds to -25.1 to 26 ; for the Account rebel;
higher prices have been paid. Mexican Stock advance:
to 32 and 32i-; for the Six per Cents. of 1825, Speniliht
Actives were better. Portuguese New Stock bou,,g„d
35i ; Belgian rose to 10421.; Buenos Ayres were merged
184 ; Guatemala, 27; Danish, 78a • and Dutch Five per
4 ,
Cents. 1014.
The Railway Shares gave way slightly, but there Ore
no extensive operations entered into.
