The admiration of the English clergy for the
practices of the Papal priesthood was well ex,-
emplifled at what the Tory journals call a nume-
rous meeting to raise a find fir sending out
bishops to the colonies. We have more than
once informed our readers that our priest:lmA.
measure the morality of mankind by the defer-
ence which is paid to their order; and that thevr
especially complain of the age, because the.:
priesthood are not now as powerful as were the
priesthood of the Church of Rome, when the
bishops of that See deposed Kings, and made
Emperor:; act as their grooms. We have in_
formed our readers that the great object of
the priesthood is to get back rs meek
of the' power which the Papal priesthood pos-
sessed as they can.. Half their animosity against
the Papacy grows from the influence which the
Papal priesthood preserve in Ireland in spite of
political persecution ; and they can tied no better
model to shape their conduct by, in order to get
power, than that of the Papal priesthood. • Thus
the Bishop of London, at the above meeting,.
could find no better argument for multiplying
bishops than the fact that the Papists bad a great
many. It was not said that bishops could pro-
mote holy living, but they could make a show,
and ri val the Itomanists. His words, as reported
in tic TorY journals, were these :

One 1 tiousa.nd Guinea Stakes.—Syria* cut out the work for
the first quarter of a mile, and was then paswd by the two fa-
vourites, the Queen of Beauty being third ; the running was now
ma.oe by Potentia, who won with the rreakst ease !imaginable,
by two lengths ; a good rate for second ended in favour of
Florence, by a neck ;. tht‘ o hers were beaten off. The an itch
was too hollow a thing to require detail.
Departures.—The Earl and Countess .of Albemarle, Lord
George Bentinek, Hon..). Villiers, and Sir C. Cockerell. Lord
W. Russell was omitted in our list of arrivals.

forth :----
One of the muses why our holy religion had not. prospered
so much as might have been expected, was unquestionably
that these things were too little thought .of.—(Hear, beer.).
This country did not follow the example set by France, who
sent out bishops and efficient staffs; but we were content to
send to the colonies a few clergymen only. I his !'ended in-
evitably to the decline of religion in the colonies. The mis-
take was, however, discovered after the settlement or peace
with An.erica. 'that country was lost to us, and our stat.tsimen
of that lime showed their conviction that one of the cams vs of
that loss was the want of episcopal superintendence, by ts: ‘l3•
lishing bishoprics in Canada.—(Hear, hear.)
What a misfortune that the habitaus, so obe-:
dient, so very docile, such nursery fathers of the
Church, were not under Anglican instead of
Popish bishops. If we had sent bishopS to
Canada, like the French, and established the /W
an Anglican ,Episcopacy, Canada would have.'
been a paradise, and it has been converted into•
something very different, because the Govern-
ment neglected to send out bishops. We
thought that clergy reserves, and quarrels be-
tween Episcopalians and Dissenters, had been rife
enough without adding thereto Npiscopal ire
and Episcopal avarice.
The Bishop of London and the Arc:llLhop of
Canterbury are far from being the most j‘apal
of bishops. They are not Puseyites, but rawer
profess Evangelism, and yet they both adnii.*e
the Papal priesthood, and hold their conduct':
up to imitation. We are not much surprised at
it, when we •learn from the same Prelates that
Episcopacy and the Church, Episcopacy and wo-
nlity, and of course Episcopany and salvftti3r,
are all one and the same thing. The )3ishoii of
London Enid—

lie had always maintained that an Episcopal Ch;:rch with—
out a bishop was neither more nor less than abe w.;thnut a
head, and the Church was said to be an Episccpai Church when
its Lead had ce2scd to exist. Ecciesia est in Episcopo.
And the Primate saLt—

We should assert our claim to be called a Church. by the
establishment of bishoprics in the Mediterranean —( Hear,
hear.) 'I his, t.e conceived, would tend greatly to the Ix ,nefit
of the Church univerPal.

Bonaparte's phrase was, L'etat c'est mot, T. le

public recollection.
What is in a man's mind is sometimes made
apparent by his eagerness to disavow and deny
it. On this principle it is worth while to inotice
that the Archbishop of Canterbury said—
was it meant in sending Bishops to the colooies
to make war with Dissenters (applause), but to
put our Church upon a proper iboting." T. mat
means, however, that the bishops are somelbow
or other intended to strengthen the Churctr
the colonies against the Dissenters. The spl,
dour of a bishop, and still more of an arc:l-
- will be sure to put cut Dissent. It will
be overshadowed by the magnificence of Epis-
copacy, and will pine away to death. The
bishops, who have done so much to. extinguish
Dissent in England, are not to make war on it
in the colonies. They are only expected to put
it down.

At the meeting there was a great sprinkling
of gentry, as well as clergy. We are not much
surprised at that. A bishopric in the colonies,
like a judgeship or a bishopric at home, will be
worth the acceptance of a scion of nobility. No
Peer thinks of making his son a missionary, but
many Peers would like to provide for their sons
by making them bishops. The aristocracy, out
of Parliament as well as in Parliament, exhibit
great readiness to create those places which they
are exclusively to all, and the people are to►
pay for.
