of the clergy is abundantly manifested, for they
( are to have all the incomes and all the appoint-
ments. In the Church of England the ap-
pointment of the Bishops is in the hands of the
Crown, as a safeguard against the ascendancy of
the priesthood; in the new scheme of Colonial
Bishops to be appointed by the Bishops, though
endowed by voluntary subscription, the com-
plete ascendancy of the priesthood is secured.
We recollect that a project of this kind was
mooted four or five years ago by Mr. Preben-
dary TOWNSIXEND, of Durham, who argued
stiffly for the Deans and Chapters taking the
election of Bishops into their own hands. We
are inclined to think that the Reverend Gentle-
man went so far as to urge his Reverend brethren
not to mind the Royal authority., but to elect
their Own Bishops in spite of a Ministry whom
it was the fashion, amongst the clergy, to stigma-
tise as the enemies of the Church of England.
But whether he went quite so far as this or not,
his admonitions, and the present conduct of the
clergy in constituting Bishoprics independently
of the Crown, are strong indications of the de-
termination of the priesthood to resume, if pos-
sible, their ancient ascendancy.
The Puseyite heresy has found much favour
with the priesthood, because it includes similar
principles of Church exaltation. With that its
professors make a display of sincerity and fer-
vour, and possess some learning. That such a
poor and cunning mixture of worldly wisdom
and cloister enthusiasm should have been
palmed off on the people as religion by a large
number of theaninisters of the Anglican Church,
is a forcible illustration of the complete degra-
dation of the Church, and of its ambitious pro-
jects. It will take up anything which promises
to secure its domination, and hence the success
of Puseyism, and the zeal with which the Bi-
shops and their satellites promote the subscrip-
tion for establishing more Bishoprics in the
Colonies.

We call attention to a letter signed " Conser-
vator," which we copy from the Times. It ap-
pears in that Journal with all the honours of
leads and large type, and—strange and discor-
dant sounds for the Squires—it advocates a fixed
duty on corn. In emphatic language it tells the
patrons and friends of the Times that they must
give Commercial Reform, and must speedily
give it, or there will be a convulsion. We hope
the Tories will not neglect this solemn warning.

The Express received on:Thursday from Paris
enabled us to anticipate in our Afternoon Edition
all the really important news contained in the
French Journals of Wednesday. The dispute
between the Government and the late Munici-
pality of Toulouse is degenerating into a mere
squabble, notwithstanding the efforts of the op-
position Journals to dignify it with the name of
a Constitutional-question.
Some three months ago a shoemaker of Montpel-
lier married a young woman of that town, and afterwards
brought her to Paris, taking a lodging on the sixth floor,
in the Rue de la Boucherie. An evil spirit of jealousy,
which had taken possession of the mans mind even be-
fore the union, haunted him in his new abode, and induced
him to keep his wife constantly under lock and key, pre-
venting her even from contributing to their comforts by
following her ordinary occupation of getting up fine linen.
It happened that another native of Montpellier followed
them to Paris, and took a small wine-shop in the same
street. Here the shoemaker frequently resorted, and,
two days ago, ventured to allow his wife to go for some
vinegar. The time required to get the liquor out of the
cellar, and perhaps some little gossip about their fellow-
townspeople, kept the wife longer on her errand than
the shoemaker thought necessary, and the jealous hus-
band at once converted the wine and vinegar-dealer into
an old sweetheart of his wife. Under this impression,
the infatuated man went to the wine-shop, and picked
a quarrel with its master, but was turned out by him
and his friends before he could commit any act of ven-
geance, for which purpose he had armed himself with the
cutting-knife used in his trade. Enraged with this
defeat, he returned home and satiated his wrath on his
unhappy wife, whom he wounded desperately in many
places, nearly cutting out one of her eyes. Her screams
called in the assistance of her neighbours, who forced
their way in in time to save her from instant death, though
she still lies in a dangerous state. The infuriated man
was taken to prison.
Two men, one a merchant's travelling clerk, and
the other a draftsman, in a state of intoxication, passed
along the rue Montmartre, the clay before yesterday,
shouting A bas Guizot Vire la Republique ! and hav-
ing collected a crowd, insulted the guard posted at Saint
Eustache. Here they were arrested, and carried before
a Commissary of Police, who transferred them to the
Prefecture.
The day before yesterday a woman, walking in the
Gardens of the Luxembourg, was suddenly taken in
labour, and, seating herself on a bench in the All6e de

I'Observatoire, brought into the world a fine boy. v The
mother and baby were immediately taken to the Lying-
in-Hospital, and received all the care the emergency
required. _ _

A remarkable case of sub-cutaneous section of the
muscles, for the cure of a distorted foot, has been re-
cently performed on M. Adolphe Dumas by Dr. Duval,
of the Porte Maillot. That gentleman had been afflicted
with a contraction of the tendon Achilles, and other
muscles of the right foot, which had turned it completely
round, so that he walked on the outside edge of the foot,
while the heel was raised three inches from the ground.
A few seconds sufficed for the section of the tendon
Achilles and another muscle, on the front of the foot, the
result of which was, that the foot was immediately
brought round to its proper direction, and ten days after-
wards the patient walked like any body else.
The King is to leave St. Cloud to-day, to go to the
Chateau of Eu.

Yesterday the Ministers went to the Palace to hold
a Council.

We have received news from Algiers of the 27th
of July.
At seven o'clock in the morning half a battalion of
Zouaves had arrived on board the Phare steamer, coming
from Mostaganem. At eight o'clock a proclamation of
the Director of ,the Interior was posted up, ordering
each of the inhabitants to receive one or more of these
brave men for some days.
The expedition under the command of General La-
moriciere, returned to Mostaganem on the 19th. During
the march of our troops Abd-el-Kader had shown himself
with a considerable force,and the rear guard had two actions.
The Zouaves had caused the enemy to sutler great loss.
We had 65 men killed and wounded. The column has
brought back 800 sick, most of whom have been sent to
Oran.

The accounts from Oran, of the 24th, are of little
importance. We have received a letter from Mostaga-
nem, dated the 25th July. The details which it con-
tains are far from agreeing with those received from Al-

Biers. The expeditionary corps has suffered ma.
The Arabs were more numerous than ever, and harassed

it incessantly. They fought at close quarters. Afany
officers are wounded. The brave Captain Delort, of the
6tk regiment of light infantry, who behaved so admir-
ably at the passage of Abbet Kredda, has been left
grievously wounded at Mascara, as well.as other officers.
It was thought that his arm must be amputated. We
have lost a great part of our horses.—Le Constitutionnel.

THE SPEAKERSILIP.—Amongst our rumours will be
found one relative to the Speakership, which rests on so
good a foundation, that we must in this part of our
Journal call on all the Liberals to be present on the'first
day of the Session, and be prepared for a contest on the
Speakership. There is at present a prevalent belief
Sir Eardley Wilmot will be put in nomination, and will
be supported by the great body of the Tories.

LIBERTY OF THE PREss.—Bonaparte held
the liberty of the press in the greatest horror ; and so
its
favour, was his passion when anything was urged in
favoir, that he seemed to labour under under a nervous
attack. Great man as he was, he was sorely afraid of
little paragraphs.
BANKERS IN PARLIAMENT.—In comparing
the present with the last Parliament, it will be found
that the Bank of England has lost one member—Mr.
Pattison. The London bankers have lost two members
—Mr. Grote and Mr. W. Attwood. The country
bankers have lost two members—Mr. Hector and Mr.
Bickford. The National Provincial Bank has lost two
members--Mr. Courtenay and Lord Hallyburton. The
London Joint Stock Banks have lost three members—
Mr. Musket% Mr. Wyse, and Mr. Jervis. On the other
hand the London Bankers have gained one—Mr. Mas-
terman ; and the London Joint St')ck Banks have gained
two—Mr. P. M. Stewart and Mr. Rennie. The Irish
and Colonial Joint Stock Banks remain the same. Thus
it will appear that the Bank of England and the private '
bankers have, upon the balance, lost four members, while
the Joint-Stock Banks have, upon the balance, also lost
four.

Fox HUNTING.--Arrangenients are now in
progress for the Fife hounds hunting the Linlithgow and
Stirlingbhire country, and not for twenty years has
there been the same stock of game to begin work upon.
