! proud of having returned two Liberal Members
those who wish for Church Extension begin
by making all the plunderers of the Church, ever since the passing of the Reform Bill, leagued
whether Bishops and their sons, or Kings' favou-
himself with a party that resisted to the last the re-
rites and theirsons, give up what they have taken I
i peal of the Test and Corporation Acts, and would
re• enact them in all their rigour, with the assistance

of waverers like himself. It is, however, but a mo-
must help herself ; and on the same principle the mentary triumph. If the Liberals fought the bat-

JOHN RUSSELL; and taking LordJOHN RUSSELL
merely as the type of the admirers of the Church,
who possess Church property, we quite agree with
Mr. BARON. Whatever he may think of the
piety of the priesthood, he is zealous for making
them numerous and wealthy.
The Times has lately given the Colleges a hint,
in consequence of the way in which the Chapters have
been dealt with, that should they not pay attention
to their duties, they may be subjected to Parliamen-
tary revision. The Rev. Mr. BARON pro
perly attacks Christ Church as well as the nobility,
for neglecting to provide parsons for the people.
Twenty-two pounds per year, in the estimation of
the enlightened members of Christ Church, Ox-
ford, is the proper salary of a clergyman
who attends to one parish, and to enable
him to live they gave him 221. per year for another
parish. The Christ Church men are of opinion that
half a parson is enough for a parish ; they have ac-
cordingly given two parishes one between them, and
his salary is 441. a-year. Christ Church, we have
no doubt, joined in the petitions to Parliament for
Church Extension, which the representative of
Christ Church asked the Parliament to vote. In re-
lation to Christ Church, then, the Rev. Mr.BARON
is perfectly right ; it ought to be made by the Legis-
lature, out of the Church revenues of the two pa-
rishes appropriated to it, to provide them with
" Ministers of GOD."

By the ordinary mail from Paris we have received
the whole of the French Journals of Thursday,
but the news which they bring was anticipated by
the extraordinary express with the King's Speech,
at opening the Chambers, published in the after-
noon edition of The Sun of yesterday.

Of that Speech we yesterday expressed our en.
tire approbation, in a few hastily-written sentences
and we have only to add, that upon more delibe.
rate reflection we said nothing which we wisi

either to retract or modify. The Speech is all
that we expected from the well-known moderation
of the KING and the Minister for Foreign Affairs
by whom it was drawn up. But we must await
the debates upon it to ascertain its importance
with respect to the destinies of France, and of Eu-
rope. At present every symptom in the political
horizon indicates the continuance of peace.
A correspondence between Captain FisnEn, the
officer immediately in confinand of the blockading
squadron off Alexandria, and the Consuls-General
of France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Norway,
Sardinia, Tuscany, the Two Sicilies, Greece, Hof-

land, Belgium, and the United States of America,
resident in Egypt, dated the 10th and 11th of
October, on the subject of the blockade, appears
in the Paris papers. The substance of it is sim-
ply that Captain FISHER, ignorant of the post-
ponement of the mercantile blockade by the Porte
to the 16th of October, ordered it to commence on

It is no part of our policy to assert that the pro-
perty of the nobility, and gentry, and colleges, which
once belonged to the Church, ought to be restored
to it. Neither do we think that it is politic in a
" Minister of God" to make such a claim. The
clergy must know that they are indebted to
the secularization of part of the property of
the Church, which has given the lead:ng and
influential men cf the country an interest in it,
for the preservation of what remains in their
possession. It is not for•their interest, there-
fore, to ask back the secularized property. Men
like Mr. BARON, however, who appear over-
zealous for all the Mammon-rights of the Church,
forget the councils of prudence, and remind the
nobility and gentry by their demands that some-
thing yet remains to be taken away. The revival
in the Church, and the honiaee paid to the priest-
hood by very ignorant or over %%fly statesmen, have
enlarged in the priesthood their appetite for power.
They are just now more greedy in seeking it than
ever. They look with a wistful eye on the land
and tithes that once belonged to the abbeys. They
claim part of them as a right ; they demand them
back, and are yet too powerful for the peace and
security of those who possess Church lands.
The example of Mr. BARON, may, perhaps, con-
vince them. that they have, in the zealous priests of
the day, who have been flattered into an extraordi-
nary degree of arrogance, some most insidious and
dangerous enemies. Let the landed gentry and
nobility go on encouraging the priesthood to
regain, if possible, their former ascendancy over the
people, and the possessors of Woburn and other
abbeys may prepare to *give their halls and broad
lands back to the Church.

;he 6th; but having learned four days afterwards
"ram the Consuls-General that they had received
;he firman for its postponement, he at once raised
the blockade on merchant vessels, and that it

was the wish of the British Government that
every facility should be afforded to commerce.
SUBMISSION OF CANDIA.—We have lately heard of
the project of our Government to occupy the island of
Candid, and we had reason to believe that Admiral
Stripier,' had turned his attention to that island, in
order to winter there. Whether the Ministry of the
Ist of March had any such idea or not, nothing has
been done to carry it into Effect. Yet what could have
been more natural (since Mehemet Ali consented to
restore that island to the Porte), than to accept it from
the Viceroy, with the intention to give it up after that
arrangement of the affairs of the East.
It is now too late. We have news from Constanti-

norde, thilt the Paella who commanded in Candia for
Mehemet Ali has recognised the authority of the Porte ;
that is to say, that that island is now at the disposal of
England.—Le Commerce.

A letter addressed to the Earl of FINGALL,
which we insert, contains some useful, though not
very important, suggestions as to Ireland. To give
that country all possible local advantages, such as
are suggested in the letter, without creating an ad-
ditional Legislature, would probably be good po-
licy. Irish causes should be tried in Ireland, and
Irish students should not be compelled to come to
England to learn the law. Such suggestions, how-
ever, will go a very little way to satisfy the Re-
pealers, who seem bent on kindling the passions of
the people, and organizing them into one compact
mass, ready to take advantage of all occurrences.
Mr. O'CoNNELL may not succeed in what he
professes, but we are assured that Repeal is very
popular in Ireland, and that the agitation he is
encouraging will make him so powerful, that he
may be able to make his own terms with either the
Whigs or the Tories.

We have inserted two letters to-day relative to Mr.
R. A. Reynolds, and have 'received many others, some
of them well written, and expressing general dissatis-
faction with the letter lie had addressed to the news-
papers, but we see no use publishing more. The
question has lost all interest as regards Mr. Reynolds.
The public should now turn their attention to the
source of the evil, and get up petitions to her Majesty
and Parliament, in order to effect such a reform in the
Horse Guards as should prevent the recurrence of a
similar act of oppression.

We mentioned lately that a part of the Conser-
vatives had chosen Lord STANLEY for their leader,
and had advised Sir R. PEEL to retire to private
life. In reference to this schism, we presume Mr.
G. S HARCOURT, who is one of the Peelites, at
the Brill dinner, on Thursday, took great pains to
exalt the. merit of his chosen leader. He called him
their able leader—that renowned and straightfor-
ward statesman, Sir ROBERT PEEL—who led them
from victory to victory. They must all have read
in the daily prints an account of the efforts made
by that compact phalanx of honest men, the Con-
servative party, in the House of Commons ; and,
when they bethought themselves of the wonderful
energy of their honest and able leader, they could
not fail to be lost in admiration of the extraordinary
talents of that eminent individual, his straightfor-
ward earnestness of purpose, and high-toned recti-
tude of conduct. They might heve seen how
truly like a statesman that eminent man had
directed his course, straightforward to his ob-
ject, turning neither to the right nor left.
The Peelites sic afraid of Lord STAN Lt r, and
very shabbily seek to deprive him of the merit of
the victories he obtained over the Ministers on the
Irish Registration question. When the Conserva-
tives have settled who is to be their leader, we shall
be able to infer what is to be their line of policy,
and shall be prepared to look for paltry compro-
mise or unshrinking bigotry. Sir ROBERT and
the Noble Lord can only keep together while they
have office to attack ; the instant they succeed in
ousting the Ministry, they will quarrel for supremacy.

MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF

FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS.

Yesterday information was communicated to the
Thames police of the loss of two baps of 200 Portu-
guese gold coins from the Wilberforce steam-ship during
her late voyage from Lisbon to London. Before the
ship left Lisbon 16 bags of gold coins were smuggled
on board, the Portuguese law prohibiting the exporta-
tion of the money of the country. The whole were
given over to the charge of Mr. Smith, the supercargo
of the vessel, who is an old and confidential servant of
the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
-13-111Y. He deposited 14 bags in the lazaretto under
the saloon or principal cabin, in the after run of the
ship, and delivered two others into the charge of the
Captain. On Tuesday morning the ship arrived at
Blackwall, and Mr. Smith, having some business to
transact ashore, directed the mate to transfer the bags
of gold from the lazaretto into the Captain's cabin, and
informed him that he would find fourteen bags. He
found, however, only twelve, which ho locked up in the
Captain's cabin. On- the following day, when the super
cargo returned to the Wilberforce the loss was made
gold was
known to him ; and Mr. Hartley, the wharfinger of the
Lam-
beth-street, who has been superannuated, Dublin Steam Wharf, St. Catherine's, to whom the
the gold to the Bullion Office, in the Bank of England,
consigned, after removing the remainder of
seat for James the police officer, formerly of Lam-
will be recollected, and who, it
was the person who brought to jus-
tice the Caspars, Mooney Moses, and others for steal-
ing the gold dust from Mr. Hartley's premises. Lea
has been using every means to discover the parties im-
plicated, but hitherto without effect. Each bag was of
the value of
2,0001. They were consigned to Mr.
so great a loser by
Hartley, who was the gold dust
robbery ; but it is right to state that no blame can be
attached to any o,r
the servants of that gentleman, as
the robbery was effected before the gold was given into
the charge of the wharfingers.

MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF

LONGFORD.

The election of Chief Magistrate of the City of
Edinburgh was to take place yesterday, but the
result of the election of Town-Councillors has de-
prived it of all interest, as no doubt remained that
sir JAMES FoRREsT, the present Provost, would
be re-elected. Sir JAMES is a Non-Intrusionist, and
professes to be a Liberal, yet has he for the last six
months been straining every nerve to defeat Mr.
ADAM BLACK, well known, not in Edinburgh
only, but throughout the United Kingdom, for his
great moral worth and Liberal principles. But
Mr. BLACK is a Dissenter. His opponent
