THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE.
We have to announce the death of the Bishop of
learlisle, after a lengthened illness. The melancholy
event took place on Friday afternoon, at the episcopal
residence, Carlisle. The Hon. and Right Rev. Samuel
Waldegrave, Lord Bishop of Carlisle, was a sou of tht
eighth Earl of Waldegrave, who died in 1859, aged 71.
Bishop Waldegrave was born in 1517. He was educated
at Balliol College, Oxford, and had a most dis-
tinguished university career. He graduated in 1839,
and took a double first, viz., in Mathematics and Classics.
He was in 18,12 elected to a fellowship at All Souls', being
fitted for that select body Loth by birth and by abilities.
In 1844 he was appointed to the rectory of Burford St.

Martin, and held that living until his elevation to the
episcopate, in 1860. During that interval he was appointed
one of the select university preachers, in 18-16, Bampton
Lecturer in 1851, and Canon of Salisbury in 1857.
In 1860 there were extensive changes on the episcopal
bench. Archbishop Musgrave died, and Lc rd Pal-
merston translated Dr. Longley from Durham to
York, Dr. Villiers from Carlisle to Durham, r. --)pointed
Mr. Walclegrave to Carlisle. A little later ne appointed
Sir Roundell Palmer, Mr. Waldegrave's brother-in-law,
Solicitor-General, a vacancy having occurred among the
law officers of the Crown by the death of Lord Campbell,
and the elevation of Sir R. Bothell as Lord Westbury
to the woolsack. At that time Lord Palmerston
entrusted his episcopal patronage entirely to bis
relative, Lord Shaftesbury. The consequence was
that all the prizes of,the Church were bestowed upon ono
party, and that one by no means containing the ablest men.
At length the partiality became so extreme that there was
a general outcry, in which even the by no means High
Church Ti»?es joined, and from that period Lord Palmer-
ston appointed men of moderate views, who were neither
connected with the peerage nor protegés of Lord Shaftes-

bury. Mr. Waldegravo was, however, a man of superior
attainments, and great things were expected from him.
It is not uncharitable to say that these expeo-
tations were not realised. Soon of ter his consecration
he gave tokens of a thoroughly sectarian spirit which com-
pletely neutralised his intellectual powers. His intellect
was, in fact, stunted by his theology. So far as ho became
known at all, it was as the enunciator of the most ex-
treme " Recordito " views. llc was quite incapable of rising
to the consideration of any of the great questions which
during his episcopate agitated the Church. He gave himself
up rather to denouncing Popery, Ritualism, and Rationalism
with a superfluity of invectives. He published a short
preface to a penny edition of "Foxe's Martyrs," and in
the course of a very few linos contrived to introduce seven
opprobrious terms connected with breaches of the Seventh
Commandment, and which ho applied to the Church of
200 millions of his fellow Christians. On one occasion he
stopped short in the middle of a sermon to rebuke
a lady for bowing at the sacred Name. When
the cattle plague broke out he saw in it

- -
a punishment for the sin of Ritualism, in spite of the fact
that the most Ritualist dioceses were nearly free from the
plague, and that it abounded most in dioceses where the .
Low Church party was in the ascendant. Altogether he
may best be described as the editor of the Record in lawn. ,
A man of this calibre was not likely to have much
lz-
fluence in such an assembly as the House of Lords. He
was an infrequent speaker, nor were his speeches
of any eloquence. It will suffice to mention the subjects
of them in order to shew how extreme a partisan the late
bishop was. In 1864 he opposed the bill for allowing the
clergy of the sister Episcopal Church to officiate in the
English Church, although they acknowledged the same
creeds and formularies as our own. His objection was that
the bill would seem to sanction a few extreme men is
the Scotch Church. He lived to see far more extreme
views openly preached in the English Church. The bill was
passed. During the session of 1866 he spoke against
selling and hawking goods on Sunday, and here, as in
other matters, took the narrowest view. For instance, he
did not like Lord Chelmsford's bill, because it allowed cer-
tain exceptions, and, therefore, as the Bishop contended,
made the Legislature partakers in the guilt of Sabbath
breaking. Ho spoke also against Romish ceremonials in
the English Church, and against the repeal of obsolete
cathedral statutes. In 1867 he spoke in favour of
legislating upon clerical vestments, and mentioned
that he had walked out of Lambeth Palace be-
cause, when the bishops were invited as usual to meet
the Archbishop of Canterbury before the opening of Par-
liament, the topic above-mentioned was not in the list of
subjects to be discussed. On Lord Lyttelton's Increase of
the Episcopate Bill he contended that the funds for new
bishoprics should be provided by laymen, and not out of
the property of the Church. Ho denounced the idea of
appointing suffragan bishops, and painted in blackest
colours the horrors that would ensue if there were 100
bishops in the kingdom with small salaries and
without a seat in the House of Lords. He warned
his fellow-peers that in supporting this proposal
they wero lending themselves to the revolutionary party.
He concluded by drawing a frightful picture of what would
happen if Leeds, Halifax, and other large Yorkshire towns
had each a bishop of their own. What would become of
the Bishop of Ripon ? He would have to be created
Archbishop of Ripon; and then what would become of the
Archbishop of York? Some one had suggested that he
should b e created Patriarch. At this frightful pro-
posal Bishop Waldegrave was fairly aghast, and he sat
down. The appointment of the Ritual Commission gave
him another opportunity of shewing his narrowness. He
complained that the commission did not possess the con-
fidence of the country, his sole reason for saying so being
apparently that the commissioners included men of
all parties. At last the Bishop of Oxford was obliged
to call him to order, and he shortly afterwards received
a severe snubbing from Lord Derby. A few days later
he made a solemn appeal to the Peers not to sanction the
bill for permitting judges, mayors, sheriffs, and other
public officers to attend Roman Catholic churches or
Dissenting chapels in their robes of office. Here again he
drew upon his gloomy imagination, and painted in sombre
hues the spectacle of the representative of the sovereign,
attended with all the pomp of his maces and
gown, bowing down before the Host or attending
a synagogue. It is scarcely necessary to say that in this as
in most other instances Bishop Waldegrave's old-fashioned
intolerance was found to be out of date. In the session of
1868 he made a last protest in behalf of Church-rates,
which were that year condemned by both parties, Tho
Bishop did not attend the Lambeth Conference
of 1867, and, we believe, took no part in the debate on
the Irish Church. It is to be hoped that his
successor will be found to lag less behind the rest of the
age. The Church is injured rather than served by having
for chief pastors men who, however excellent in their
private lives, belong to an epoch that has passed away for
ever.
