He feared they might withhold something from
the coffers of the Church. His regard for public
health and public decency was not so strong as
his attachment to burial fees, which jingle so
musically in the pockets of the priests. But an
Act of Parliament has secured their fees to the
priests, and now the Bishop of LONDON is as
willing as anybody to promote the health and
decency of the community. After this ac-
knowledgment it would be exceedingly un-
fair to tax the Right Reverend Prelate
with hypocrisy. He is quite willing to
dispense with the reading of the burial
service provided the fees are paid. His Lord-
ship has no scruples about granting a dispensa-
tion to the clergy to omit a part of their duty,
provided their congregations are particular in
leaving no part of the established rate of fees
unpaid. Public health and public decency are
good things in their way, but they are subordi-
nate to the vested interest which the priest has
in the rotting remains of a defunct member of

the human family Death, which extinguishes
all passions, and dissolves every other terrestrial
tie, does not relieve us from the taxation claims
of the priesthood—from claims which even a
Prelate avows to have outweighed in his mind
a regard for the health and decency of this vast
metropolis.

The whole of the Mach Journals of Thurs-
clay have reached us, but the principal intelli-
gence they bring was anticipated in our Afternoon
Edition of Friday. We subjoin extracts from
them :

We have a letter from Toulon of 28th August, which
says :

It is announced that several vessels are about to go
Port Vendre, to take on board another regiment,
which is to be conveyed to Africa,
" The vessels which lately left this port, with the 33d
Regiment of the line, are to bring back from Algiers
the 23d of the line.
"It is to be regretted that these changes of
the troops are made at this season. We have
remarked with regret that the regiments sent
to Algeira generally take the field as soon as
they arrive. Thus the 16th Light Infantry and the
56th of the Line, which arrived in the spring in the pro-
vince of Oran, were immediately included in the column
which burnt Tedekempt and took Mascara. The conse-
quence was such as might easily have been foreseen.
These regiments, which had not had time to get accus-
tomed to the climate, had a much greater number of sick
than the other corps. The same thing will 'happen
to the regiments which are now sent to take part in
the autumn campaign. It seems to us, that on the
return of the expeditions, the regiments which are to
come back to France should be sent home immediately,
and replaced by others, which would have some months
to be inured to the climate. This would be the more
easy as there is no deficiency of means of conveyance.
The Didon frigate, lately arrived from Candia, has
just received orders to be ready to put to sea at the first
signal. We hear that it is to go to Brest to take on
board troops for the colonies.
The Styx steam-boat is to take on board the Commis-
sio'ners who are to report as to the state of defence of

the coasts of Provence.
A telegraphic dispatch announces that the Didon left
Toulon for Wrest on the 30th of August.—Le Commerce.
