Tilt BANK OF ENGLAND:"
The alteration in the c stitution of the Bank of
;land announced by the Governor at the Zeit court-
will be carried into effect almost immediately. The
anercial disasters of the past year, only too livid in
minds of our readers, have created six vacancies.
names of the gentlemen chosen to fill up the vs-
will, for the first time in the annals of the corpo-
ration, be published twelve days prior to their election
by tke proprietary. We trust that the feeling of caste
which has hitherto been the guiding principle on these
occasions will be abandoned; that some consideration
will be given to talent, as well as to purse; and that the
cadets of old houses, who already have sufficient to
occupy their leisure, will make way for an infusion of
new blood into the still strong though venerable cor-
poration.
The business of the Bank is national business. The
circulation of the country is managed by the Bank.
The creditor of the country is paid by the Bank. The
Treasury balances are in the hands of the Bank. The
knowledge, therefore, required by the conductors of such
an establishment, whether in the use of the national
balances, whether in the management of the debt, or
in the regulation of the issue, must eminently require
minds sufficiently large to regulate the circulation, and
sufficiently practical to enter into the minutest detail
involved in the accounts of the national debt. The
proper superintendence of 750 millions of capital is of
the utmost importance. When the Three per Cent.
Consols are shut, the holders of 340 millions are debar-
red, for one mouth, from the use of their property. The
historian of the Bank gives a vivid narration of the labour
and mind required in revising the internal arrangements
of these gigantic accounts, but adds, " that the import-
ance to the Bank and the merchant of having a complete
command over his money is incalculable, and the result
of Mr. Smee's alterations are not yet fully attained."
Many capitalists refuse to hold Consols, because their
money is not always available, and are therefore compel-
led to invest in securities which they. would not other-
wise choose, and this tends to diminish the value of
funded property, But why should Mr. Smee not have
bean authorised to abolish the shuttings altogether, and
had he been a director, would he not have carried out
some plan which would alike have benefited the Bank
and the public ? Is it just that the capitalist should
pay, as he did in 1825, 72 per cent., because the Bank
are too supine to meet the growing wants of commerce?
Is it fair that the small tradesman should see his name
in the Gazette, because he cannot realise his capital for
the same reason ? Is it quite politic in the directors to
render themselves liable to reproach out of some exclusive
or other feeling, with which the public have nothing
whatever to do? There is no sufficient answer in the as-
sertion that the shuttings are already lessened eight days;
more can and more ought to be accomplished. The
management of the Bank is not one of the fixed
sciences ; it is, or should be, a science of progress ; and
if the directors do not elect men who comprehend these
things, assuredly the motion of Mr. De Wintnn, which
comes on next September, to inquire into the organisa-
tion of the Bank will be carried, to the great annoyance
of that body. History teaches a slight concession may
save a great compulsion ; and if the governors of the
Bank of England entertain the proposal of the Stock
Exchange deputation, and allow Mr. Smee, as one of
their own body, to carry cut a complete abolition of the
shuttings, and throw open 750 millions of capital during
the whole of the year, they will merit, and they will
meet with, the only support which can aid them in any
future conflict with Government—the support of the
great financial classes in this moneyed metropolis.--

CONSECRATION 0
HAMPDEN.
Yesterday morning the Ret. Rena Dickson Hampden,
D.D., was consecrated at Lambeth Palace Bishop of

DR.

Hereford.
From an early hour in the morning numbers of per-
sons flocked towards the Palace, anxious to be present at
a ceremony, the previous circumstances connected with
which, have so long agitated the public mind. The ar-
rangements were, however, of such a nature that no
persons were admitted except those who had obtained
his Grace's permission, so that the small and elegant
chapel in which the proceedings took place was not in-
conveniently crowded, while the ceremony proceeded
unmarked by any of those exhibitions and interruptions
which characterised the confirmation proceedings at St.
Mary-le-Bow, on the 11th of January.
The usual preliminary arrangements for conducting
the ceremony having been performed,
Shortly after eleven o'clock the procession entered the
chapel, and was composed of his Grace the Archbishop
of Canterbury, who was ushered in by John Burder,
Esq., the Lord Bishop of Norwich, the Lord Bishop of
Worcester, the Lord Bishop of Llandaff, the Vicar-
General (Dr. Burnaby), the Registrar-General (Francis
Hart Dyke, Esq.), Dr. R. L'hillimore, Dr. Bayford, Dr.
Twist, the Proctor for the Dean and Chapter of the
Cathedral Church of Hereford, and several clergymen,
for the most part friends of the new Bishop.
Dr. Hampden, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Hinds,
then entered the chapel, followed by John Burder, Esq.,
of Parliament-street, the Bishop of Hereford's Secretary,
and having taken his place in the stall assigned to him,
the morning prayers were proceeded with.
Morning prayer being ended, his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury began the Communion Service.
The Bishop of Worcester read for the Epistle the ap-
pointed portion of the 20th chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles, and the Bishop of Norwich read that portion
of the Gospel the 2 tst chapter of John. The Nicene
Creed having been read by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury,
The Rev. Dr. IhNos ascended the pulpit, and deli-
vered a lengthy and eloquent discourse. The Rev.
Doctor tbok for his text a part of the 20th verse of the
28th chapter of St. Matthew—" I am with you even
unto the end of the world," and urged with considerable
force of argument the dependence, for the purposes of
a right interpretation, of the Oid and New Testaments
upon each other, supporting his observations by many
texts, and asserting the identity of the Jehovah of the
one with the Jesus of the other, and thus proving the
divinity of the latter.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the ceremony of the
consecration was commenced ; the Rev. Dr. Hampden,
in his rochet, taking his place in front of the rails of
the communion-table, was presented to the Archbishop
by the Bishop of Llandaff. The oaths of allegiance, &a.,
were tendered by the proper functionaries, and taken,
and the question of the consecration service put by the
Archbishop, and answered by the new dignitary, who,
having been arrayed in his full episcopal habits, knelt,
and the Archbishop and the Bishops present placed their
hands on his head, and invested him with the episcopal
commission, and the whole was concluded.

ADDRESS TO THE ARCHBISHOP
OF CANTERBURY.
The following address has just been presented to his
Grace the Archbishof Canterbury from tbe Arch-
deacon and rural Deap nso on of Chester, the part of the
clergy of that diocese :

" Chester, March 20, 1848.
" Most Rev. Father in God,—We, the archdeacon,
rural deans, and clergy of the county of Chester, ap-
proach your Grace with feelings of affectionate respect,
to present our sincere congratulations upon your eleva-
tion to the see of Canterbury. We have learned, by the
experience of twenty years, the important benefits re-
sulting from your mild and efficient superintendence.
To whatever portion of the diocese we look, we may
trace evidence of that unexampled energy which has
stimulated and assisted the great and necessary works
of general education and church extension. With
cheerful hope we anticipate the blessings which will as-
suredly result to the Church and nation from the wider
diffusion of your influence in the exalted sta-
tion to which, by Divine Providence, you are called ;
and when we recollect the earnest piety and devoted
zeal, the kind sympathy and the urbanity of manner
which have so strikingly characterised the Intercourse
with your clergy, we rejoice in believing that He who
has graciously bestowed upon you those eminent en-
dowments will by his blessing render them more and
more conducive to the best interests of man, in the ad-
vancement of His kingdom throughout the world.
While, however, we endeavour to recognise in your
Grace's elevation the earnest and token of great lasting
good, we cannot but feel the deepest regret at the loss of
those peculiar privileges which we have so long enjoyed,
and at the severance of those intimate and endearing ties
which have attached the clergy of this diocese to their
ou
revered and beloved Bishop. We ferveatly pray
be
for an
increased means of Divine influence, that y may
endowed with a spirit of power and of love, and of a
sound mind for the discharge of your high and solemn
duties, and that after a prolonged courseyou may, when
the Chief Shepherd shall appear, receive a crown of
glory that fadeth not away.
(Signed by the Archdeacon, Rural Deans, &e.)
To this address the Archbishop returned the following
reply:—

" March 22, 1848.
.. my Reverend Brethren,—Next to the approval of
our Heavenly Lord and Master, the good opinion of his
faithful servants on earth is worthy to be desired. I
therefore hasten to acknowledge the gratification which
I have received from yoar kind and affectionate address
on my promotion to the archiepiscopal diocese of Can-
terbury. Superintendence becomes an easy task when
those who are under authority and those who exert au-
thority are actuated by the same mind and will; and
such has been so generally the case with ourselves, that
I have had no temptation towards you other than the
trial of love and the spirit of meekness. I shall not
cease to pray for the continual prosperity of that por-
tion of the Church from which, in the Providence of
God, I am removed, and especially that you may be
enabled to provide additional folds for the flocks which
are daily multiplying around you. You, meanwhile,
will not be unmindful of him who has hitherto desired
to be the helper of your faith; but entreat the Author
of every good gift that, by his grace, I may be found
sufficient for the more arduous duties which henceforth
I must endeavour to perform.
