fortunately attended with loss cf life. A party,
composed of about a dozen young men, had been spend-
ieg the previous night at a public ball, and, on retiring
foni
by the wine which they bad
drunk, agtod their homes, they repaired in a
body to the lodgings of one of the party, when they deter-
mined on finishing their carouse in a joyous manner. The

as he was in hopes that it would soon be at an end he did
not interfere ; but, as his hopes on this point were not
realized, and the noise, instead of terminatinoe became more
uproarious, he went to the room, and begged them to desist
This interference, however, being unsuccessful in obtaining
quiet, and the neighbours becoming alarmed,
he sent for a
party of the military front the nearest guard-house, who
young entered the apartment, and required the men to for_
low them immediately to the commissary of police. This
interruption was not at all relished by the young men,
who, flushed with wine, would not pay any attention
to the summons, but loaded the scrjeants who conducted
the tarty of the troops with the grossest abuse, end made
even obstinate resistance. They were at length all got
into the street, when some of them atternpv,tedforun away,

WHAT IT IS TO BE A BISHOP'S

SON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—Under the head of Clerical Intelligence con-
tained in the Bath Papers, my attention was called to
the following announcement :—" The Venerable Arch-
deacon Law has been presented to the Living of Wes-
ton-super-Mare, and the Rev. Edward Wilson to the
Vicarage of IVliitchurch, Dorset."
Archdeacon Law is the son of the Bishop of Bath
and Wells, and Bishops' sons, of all others, should be,
like Caesar's wife, beyond suspicion. To say the least,
therefore, the following public transactions look too
much like an arrangement quite at variance with the
spirit, if not the very letter of an Act passed in the 31st
year of the reign of Elizabeth, *' to prevent corrupt re-
signing or exchanging of benefices with cure of souls ;"
and while such things are permitted, the reason why the
Laity do not respond to the daily calls made upon their
pockets in the shape of contributions for the advance-
ment of religion, as they would otherwise do, is suffi-
ciently apparent.
In your Paper some time since was a statement that
some individual had accepted, for certain purposes,
three livings " within eighteen months ;" this you fitly
denominated jobbing." Archdeacon Law, within
three years, has been the Incumbent of four livings.
He was Rector of Weston-super-Mare, to which he has
just been re-presented by the Bishop, his father, who is
the patron. This he resigned in the year 1838, to take
the Living of Bath, and he was there succeeded in the
Living of Weston-super-Mare by the Rev. Edward
Wilson. After preaching against all and every rational
amusement and recreation of the people, he on a sudden
vacated the living of Bath to take that of East Brent,
which became vacant on the death of his brother-in-
law. This is also in the gift of the Bishop, and which
the Archdeacon has just vacated, to be re-pre-
sented back to the living of Weston-super-Mare.
What has become of Eat Brent I know not, but
no doubt one of the family will be found in it. Mr.
Wilson has been presented to the living of Whitchurcb,
also in the patronage of the Bishop. Here, then, we
have the son of a Bishop resigning or exchanging for
interest, or benefit, or whim, three livings, and retaking
his former one, which makes four, and three out of the
four being in the patronage of his father, who is a Bishop
of the Church of England. Was patronage originally
given to Bishops for such purposes ? Undoubtedly
not, and such a circumstance demands an investigation
by the higher authorities. The evil of such things,
and their sufferance and existence in the heads of the
Establishment, are manifold, whether we look at them
as direful in their effects on the winds of those con-
kregations who unhappily are the sufferers by such con-
stant change of ministry, or as being bad examples and
most dangerous precedents afforded to the clergy ; and
while such proceedings are permitted among the Le-
viathans, it is useless to complain of the acts of the
inferior members of the Church. Some of the Puri-
tans of the present day stop at nothing to suit their
own views and interests, without the least regard to
public opinion, or any deference to the feelings of the
religious community, and then profess surprise that their
appeals to the people are not attended with success, or
heard with respect. While laws are evaded, or their
spirit departed from by the clergy, in vain may they
look for a thorough reform and amendment of life in
their parishioners.
Bath, Oct. 7. VIGIL.
For the benefit of your readers I have sent you the
clause of the Act alluded to :
" 31st Elizabeth, c. 6, s. 8.

" And be it further enacted by the authority afore-
said, that if any Incumbent of any Benefice with cure
of Souls, do or shall corruptly -resign or exchange the
same, or corruptly take for or in respect of the re-
signing or exchanging of the same, directly or indirectly,
any pension, sum of money or benefit whatsoever ; that
then as well the giver as the taker of any such pension,
sum of money, or other benefit corruptly, shall lose
double the value of the sum so given, taken, or had ;
the one moiety as well thereof, as of the forfeiture of
double value ofone year's profit before mentioned, to be
to the Queen's Majesty, her heirs and successors, and
the other moiety to him or them that will sue for the
same by action of debt, bill, or information, in any of
her Majesty's Courts of Record, in which no essoin
protection, or wager of law or privilege shall be ad-
mitted or allowed" ! !

THE JEWS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

shall feel obliged by your insertion of the
following observations, resulting from an extract from
Fraser's Magazine, copied into one of your late publi-
cations.

The extract I refer to is one respecting " the present
state and prospects of the Jews," in which I find the
following passage, stating to be a description of the
Jewish character :—" Meanness the most abject, and
pride the most overbearing—the degradation of helots
and yet a conscientious and a manifested sense of the
dignity of a Royal priesthood—crouching, cozening,
squeezing, grasping on the exchange, in the shop, with
nothing too /ow for them to do, or too dirty, if profit-
able, for them to pick up."
I cannot conceive how any just or sensible writer
can have the audacity thus to vilify four millions of the
human race; that race consisting of the descendants of
ehosen;Repple. Jvhole.,of the; above passage

On the repeal of the Jewish
Naturalization' Pill, In that celebrated speech his
tiirdship` stated, " I assented to the Bill last year in the
hopes it might induce some wealthy Jews to come and
settle among us." Would his Lordship have dared to
offer inducements to a people to settle in this country
capable of every low and dirty action—or did he think
that their industry and probity would be beneficial to
this country ? I opine the latter, and I can with
confidence appeal to the country whether his Lord-
ship's judgment has not been fully verified, when I call
to recollection the names of Sir Moses Montefiore and
DaVid Salomons. It would be easy to name many
others equally respectable, who never manifested any
crouching, cozening, squeezing, or grasping spirit on the
exchange, and whose actions throughout life would
laugh to scorn the miserable spirit which actuated the
calumniator of a nation.

I will not trespass further on your valuable columns,
as my first feeling on reading the extract was to have
passed it over in silent contempt, but on further consi-
deration 1 did not think it proper that such opinions
should be circulated without comment.
NOT A CROUCHING BUT A
FREE-BORN JEW.

Catteval, Oct. 8,1840.
[Some parts of the description taken from Tracer's
Magazine were evidently unjustand marked by prejudice,
but the picture, on the whole, was so vivid, and at the
same time complimentary to this most remarkable
people, that we preferred giving it entire.]

It is stated that under the term Metropolis are coin-
prised the 32 districts herein mentioned, which include the
City of London within and without the walls, the City and
Liberties of Westminster, the out parishes within the
bills of mortality—and the parishes of St. Marylebonc ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington; St. Mary,
Stoke Newington; St. Leonard, Bromley; St. Mary•le-
bow ; Camberwell ; Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St.
Paul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as enu-
merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for
1838 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that
year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in
1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in-
creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the
popul Ilion had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.
General Register-office, Oct. 8, 1840.

THE REGISTRATION ACT.—In consequence
of the recent Act of Parliament by which non-parochial
r.igistcis are, after examination by the Commissioners, made
r,!ceivable as evidence in Courts of Justice, the registers of
births and baptisms, which for nearly a century have been
kept at Dr. NS illisms's library, in Redcross-street, have
just b_.en removed from thence, and are now deposited d with
the Registration Commissioners, at their office
yard, Chancery-lane. The Commissioners sic emP"'-
ol
ered to receive, at any time previous to the 9th of
.Nove or
-
ber, any non-parochial registers of births and baptisms.
of deaths and burials, and to deposit in the General Re-
gister-office all such as they find to be accurate or faithful..
No document will be received, nor can the advantages of
the Act be secured, atter that date.
