the attempt by the outraged and indignant commu-
nity. He should relinquish the supersri(ious venera-
tion he has heretofore exhibited fur old regulations,
which must be so modified as to meet the exigencies
of the moment.
Bat we would ask Mr. KEOGH—the recognised
leader of the movement—a gentleman for whose
unquestionable ability we entertained a sincere
respect, what benefit or advantage does he
hope to gain for the cause, of which be is
the advocate, by such proceedings ? He has
rendered the English people a thousand times more
determined than ever to have a measure suited to the
emergency. Ministers are now inclined, in conse-
quence of the course which he has followed, to sanc-
tion far more stringent enactments than they would
previously have assented to. They have practically
adopted the views of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
the Member for Midhurst, and the clients will have
good cause to say—" save us from our friends," fur
these friends have occasioned greater mischief than
the most vindictive and malevolent opponents could
have accomplished.

As if to add to the excitement, we find
that the POPE, stimulated by what the
Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Mem-
ber for Yougbal justly termed " a bastard
episcopacy," has endeavoured to set aside the system
of mixed education brought forward by the Go-
vernment and sanctioned by the Legislature
of the United Kingdom. The firebrand of
Tuam has thus had a temporary triumph
over the respected and venerated Dr. MUR-
RAY and those prelates who supported his tem-
perate and judicious councils. The " synodical ac-
tion" that has been applied to such a purpose must
necessarily be checked. There is manifestly an at-
tempt to revive the Papal pretensions which
had been so strenuously and unceasingly
opposed by our ancestors even in the days
of " Catholic England." We will not now endure
an ecclesiastical despotism, or suffer the unwarranted
interference of a foreign potentate with the
prerogative of the British Monarch or the
independence of the British nation. The pro-
tection of our civil and religious liberties is
in our own charge, and we will not aban-
don or neglect the sacred trust. Let Lord JoUN
RUSSELL, then, if he desire to retain the support
and confidence of the people, set aside the tem-
porising and milk and-water policy which he
has hitherto pursued, let him exhibit a spirit and
energy becoming the occasion, and the Whig Ministry
ri ill have no cause to regret the factious proceedings
of the Irish Brigade, although it has led to the loss
of the most valuable part of the Parliamentary session
of 1851, and completely obstructed the public business
of the country.

Poorold Dr. HENRY PHILLPOTTS 13 not, it appears,
o have all his own way, even in the diocese of Exeter.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, with more good nature than
sound judgment, had announced in the House of
Commons that the Government did not intend to in
terfere with the attempts of the Right Rev. Prelate
to hold what, in the plenitude of his episcopal power
the Bishop chooses to call a Synod at Exeter, because
indeed and in truth it is no synod at all, a fact of
which the Right Reverend and most astute Prelate
was perfectly well aware at the time, for he
has always, notwithstanding his phrases of boastful
defiance, abstained, with a caution and prudence
that the most circumspect might envy, from the com-
mission of any overt act that would bring him
into collision with the law. But the clergy,
of the diocese are not quite so complaisant;
they neither regard the vagaries of their Diocesan
with the contemptuous indifference of my Lord
Jorew RusseLL, nor have they that faith in the
orthodoxy or the prudence of the Right
Reverend persecutor of Messrs. SHORN and
GORHAM, which it would be necessary that
men should have before they embark themselves
with him on a voyage, the termination of which no
man can foresee; and accordingly a goodly number of
the clergy of the diocese of Exeter have put forth
and published their "reasons" for refusing to join
this synod. This most important document, which will
be found in another column, is most respectfully
worded, and in this respect contrasts most favourably
with the furious, unjust, and ill-bred vitupera-
tions in which the Bishop of EXETER thought
it decent to indulge in speaking of his
superior, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY.
The arguments put forth in this protest are most
cogent, and they prove indisputably that whilst the
Bishop cf EXETER is railing against schismatics in the
most unmeasured language, he is himself heading an
unbecoming and injurious, if not schismatical ,opposi•
tion to the Archbishop of the province, and the con-
stituted authorities by which the whole body of the
Church of England is governed.
In plainer language he raises the cry of schismatic
in order that under cover of the cry he may indulge
in schism, even as a swell- mobsman raises the cry of
"stop thief," in order to get safe off with the booty.
The reasons relating to the judgment of the consti-
tuted authorities in the GORHAM case we give entire,
on account of its great importance—it is as follows
" 2. Because the primary and avowed object for which
such assembly is to be convened is to issue a synodical decla-
ration of adherence to the article of the creed—' acknow-
ledge one bap.ism for the remission of sins,' which it is al-
leged has been virtually denied by a judgment delivered by
her Majesty the Queen, as under God, the only supreme go-
vernor of this reaiin, as well in all spiritual or ecclesiastical
things or causes as temporal, on the recommendation
of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, with the con-
currence of the wo Archbishops; such a declaration being,
as we believe, uncalled for, inasmuch as the decision of her
Majesty was not intended to impugn, neither does it, i , our
judgment, in any degree whatever impugn such article of the
creed—au article which we constantly and solemnly repeat
before God and in the face of the congregation, with the full
`assent and consent' of our minds."
In every word of the rsbove we entirely concur, and
we believe that every unprejudiced person who has
at all gone into the controversy will admit that,
whether right or wrong, the opinions of Mr. GORHAM
are much more in accordance with the doctrines pro-
fessed by the Church of England than are those
of the Bishop of EXETER. But that matter
is entirely beside the question. The decision of the
Privy Council as to the doctrines held by the Esta-
bliehed Church is, and must be taken to be final,
let the decision be what it may. The Church
is the established of the law as completely as is
the army, the navy, or the police the established of
the Jaw, and is as completely under the control
of the law. As that law can regulate or
disband the army, the navy, or the police, so can
the law regulate or disestablish the Church. The
law established the Church, the law, of course,
knows what it intended to establish ; and if the
Bishop of EXETER refuses to obey the law, he should
also, as an honest man, refuse to receive the
emoluments, or exercise the patronage, or enjoy the
privileges which he derives from the law. When we
see him acting in accordance with the principle so
admirably laid down in reference to a precisely similar
case by the Duke of RICHMOND, and resigning his seat
in the House of Peers, giving up his episcopal revenues,
and retiring from all connexion with the State, then
we shall give him credit for being actuated by con-
scientious motives ; but until he shall have done this
we shall continue to regard his synodical speeches as
we have always regarded his Gorham letters,
as neither more nor less than the noisy
brawling of a defeated suitor, who gives vent to his

rage and disappointment in impotent railings against
the opponent who has defeated, and the judge who
has condemned him.

THE SCOTCH BENCH.— On Wednesday the judges
assembled in the first division, when the late Dean of Fe.
culty, Mr. presented his commission to supply the
vacancy in the bench created by the resign lion of Lord
Mackenzie. Mr. after the reading and acceptance
of the royal letter containing his appointment, Nithdrew to
the Outer-house, and heard two cases beside Lord Ivery.

he and Mr. Rutheriurd finished their probation, and took
their,osews in the Outer-h use, in the room of Lord Ivor.),
and L td Murray, who go to the first and second divisions of
