LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1844.

The Bishop of GLOUCESTER'S Charge to his clergy,
which he delivered on Monday last at Newnham, at
his triennial visitation, contains matter thast is to be
objected to as well as approved. The stern, uncom-
promising tone, in which the Right Rev. Prelate
speaks of the determination of the Church as regards
the great question of popular instruction, is deserving
of special animadversion ; while the calm, rational,
but decided character of his remarks on the Trac-
tarian heresy, is not less deserving of approbation, and
stands out in favourable contrast to the vacillating
course of conduct pursued by himself, and recom-
mended to his clergy, by the sly, temporising,
jesuitical Dr. BLOMFIELD. But let us hear the
Bishop of GLOUCESTER first on the subject of edu-
cation. Alluding to the institution of Sunday and
daily schools, he tells us that they afford "an oppor-
tunity to the poorer classes of obtaining the benefit of
instruction, which if based on the principles of
morality and religion, is among the greatest of human '
blessings, but if severed from those principles, it may
prove like the fruit of the tree of knowledge, the fore-
runner of spiritual ruin." To the truth and justice of
this observation no one can possibly object. It is an
obvious truism—a safe and harmless common-place,
which must obtain the assent of Dissenters of all
classes. But mark what follows !—" With respect to
the necessity and importance of the Church perform-
ing its duty as the national educator of the people,"
adds the Right Rev. Prelate, " I believe we are all
agreed; and we are determined not to sacrifice any
part of this duty in favour of others. In this matter
wo will neither make nor accept of any compromise."
It is evident from this last remark, that by the
ci principles of religion," of which he speaks in the
first-quoted passage, the Bishop of GLOUCESTER means
the principles of the Established Church ; and to
saver education from those principles is, in his view of
the case, to bring about the " spiritual ruin" of all
who may be educated under such circumstances.
Religion and the Church are, with him, synonimous
terms—one and the same thing ; and he cannot ima-
gine it possible that any sound devotional feeling can
be found without the pale of the Establishment.
Hence he will have nothing to do with any system of
national instruction but such as is in strict ac-
cordance with the views of orthodoxy. "No sur-
render!" is his rallying cry. " A Church education,
or none !" is the motto which he inscribes on his
banner, and which he expects his clergy to insist on
with their utmost power of lungs. Thus, what appears
in the first passage, to be a mere harmless common-
place truism, becomes—when taken in connexion
with the second—to be a bigoted, ex-cathedra dogma,
whose burblind intolerance cannot fail to give deep
offence to Dine,-tors of all shades, and call forth the

regret of every liberal-minded man who, though he I
may wish well/to the Church, is by no means of opinon
that it is but another term for religion. While such is
the spirit that actuates our Episcopal Dignitaries—and
by which, as a matter of course, their clerical subordi-
nates must in a great degree be influenced—we
despair of seeing a system of national education
established on a sound, enlightened basis ; and can
only offer up our humble supplications to Providence,
that—to quote the impressive words of the Litany—
it will please him to endow the heads of our Church
" with grace, wisdom, and understanding." But to
turn to a less ungracious theme. Speaking of the
Tractarian heresy, the Right Rev. Prelate observes—
" Having three years ago deemed it my duty to de-
clare my condemnation of certain recent publications
coming from the reputed leaders of a section in the
Church, I have now to state that my sentiments have
undergone no change whatever since. On the con-
trary, everything has tended to confirm my opinion
that the tendency of those writings is to Romanism."
It gives us sincere satisfaction to see the Bishop of
GLOUCESTER thus speaking out boldly on the subject
of Puseyism, and expressing his strong, heart-felt
conviction, of its injurious tendency. It is, indeed,
an " old friend with a new face"—that is to say,
Popery under the disguise of earnest Protestantism.
It wears a specious and imposing aspect, but it is all
hollowness within, like the apples of the Dead Sea,
which are goodly to the eye, but dust and ashes to
the taste. For the essence of religion it substitutes
the form—the empty shadow for the solid substance.
It makes its appeal exclusively to the imagination,
but leaves the heart and the understanding altogether
untouched. Its language is all unaffected benevo-
lence and humility, but the instincts of its nature are
narrow, arbitrary, and ostentatious. In a word, it is
a mere revival of the spirit of LAUD ; and should it
ever, by any malign series of contingencies, take deep
root in England, farewell from that moment—fare-
well for ever—to independence of thought and liberty
of conscience !

A correspondent in the Times of this morning,
who signs himself " Politicus," observes, in the course
of some desultory reflections suggested by the late
Parliamentary campaign, that Sir ROBERT PEEL has
completely got the better of the Conservatives, and
neutralised the opposition of the Whigs by consenting
to grant them almost everything they demand. There
is some truth in this remark, but it is a truth, we sus-
pect, which is not very palateable to the Whigs, for it
makes the probability of their regaining place more
remote than ever, and compels them to put up with
empty praise in lieu of solid pudding. Why should
the country evince any desire to reinstate Lord
JOHN RUSSELL and his friends in power, when
Sir ROBERT PEEL does his best to conduct the
business of legislation on their principles, and
makes, all things considered, as good a Whig as
the best of them ? If Whig principles be the
order of the day in the PEEL Cabinet, it is clear
that any change of Ministry is superfluous ;
and thus the ill-starred advocates of Whiggery on
the Opposition bench find the ground completely cut
from under their feet, and their restoration to the
sunny realms of office, a land flowing with milk and
honey, postponed to that very indefinite and embarrass-
ing period, the Greek Kalends. The fate of the Whigs
is certainly a hard one, for they are first despoiled of
their principles by the unceremonious leader of the
Conservatives, and then ironically condoled with
on their ill-luck. But stern as is their
destiny, they have none but themselves to blame
for it. When they had it in their power
to turn the key of Downing-street on Sir ROBERT
PEEL, by bringing boldly forward such comprehen-
sive remedial measures, as might enlist the sympa-
thies of the great body of the people in their behalf,
and thereby arm them with irresistible influence
in Parliament;—when, we say, the opportunity
served for their acting in this manner, the Whigs
wilfully neglected it, and by their halting, shilly-
shally system of policy, ruined themselves, and paved
the way for all the after triumphs of the Conserva-
tives, and their Coryphteus, the Tamworth doctor.
Our Contemporary's Correspondent goes on to ob-
serve :—" Thus we have at last that dream of
philosophers, a Government without party.
Sir ROBERT has broken the neck of fac-
tion. Noble achievement ! Yet one may tremble to
think how short an experience we have had of this
benefit. England has never yet been without party
spirit. The conflict of parties elicits much honour,
much virtue. It trains men for patriotism." GOD
help the man who has been trained for patriotism in
the school of party, whether Whig, Tory, or
Radical ! With the best intentions he will be liable
to constant blundering, as people always are whose
range of vision is limited and imperfect. A political
partisan invariably sees but a portion of the truth,
and that but the smallest portion. Of independence
he has not—and cannot possibly have—an atom.
He must see with other eyes—hear with other
ears—and decide with other judgments—than
his own. The selfish interests of a sect, and
not the more enlarged interests of a nation, must be
the guide and prompter of his conduct. The conse-
quence is, that his views gradually become more and
more limited in their range and petty in their cha-
racter, and he becomes as effectually disqualified for
playing the lofty, magnanimous, comprehensive part
of a patriot, as the Bishop of EXETER is for consider-
ing impartially any question that has the slightest
reference to the rich rectory of Stanhope. A man
can never be a patriot, in the true sense of the term,
till he has raised himself from the slough of party,
cast aside its debasing shackles, and learned to think,
act, and decide, in reference only to the good of his
country.

The public subscription now in progress at Man-
chester for the formation of parks and walks for the
use of the labouring classes already amounts, we un-
derstand, to upwards of nine thousand two hundred
pounds, and it is confidently expected that before long
three or four times that sum will be raised. " This,"
says the Liverpool Times, " is the best, because the
most practical and conclusive, answer that could be
given to the charges of selfishness and indifference to
the interests of the poor, which have been so often
directed against the manufacturers of Manchester by
monopolist orators and journalists." It is, indeed, a
conclusive answer—the best that could possibly have
been made to Mr. BANKES and those other great
landholders who, in common with him, are constantly
inveighing against the tyranny and hard-heartedness
of the Lancashire cotton-spinners. Of all people in
the world, the monopolists are about the last who
should indulge in sneers against the manufacturing
system and the selfishness it engenders ; for they
themselves, speaking of them as a body—though we
admit that there are many favourable exceptions—
are notoriously regardless of the sufferings of their
poor and humble dependents, and seem to think that
the whole duty of life consists in a rigorous exaction
of rent, and under the specious forms of law, filching
from the oppressed peasantry, now a slice of com-
mon-land, and now a right of way across a green field
or a heath, whenever opportunity serves. With less
parade of liberality, the manufacturers are far more
liberal towards their dependents, and the parks and
pleasure walks which they are now proposing to form
in the over-peopled neighbourhood of Manchester
will remain a proud monument of their well-applied
munificence ages after the existing generation are
naught but dust and ashes. We hope and trust that,
ere many years have elapsed, the whole of our great
cities and towns, whether manufacturing or other-
wise, will have spacious public walks attached to
them, for to say nothing of them as matters of orna-
ment—though this, by-the-bye, is no trifling consi-
deration—they will have a more direct, beneficial
effect on the health of the labouring portion of the
community, than any other scheme that could be
devised. Besides this, they will tend in no slight
degree gradually to refine and elevate the moral
tone of the operative classes, who, when they find,
after the day's toil is at an end, that they have
close at hand cool, verdant, and picturesque
pleasure-grounds to resort to, where they may,
snatch a mouthful of fresh air, without the
chance of being warned off as trespassers, or
threatened with the unceremonious attentions of
steel-traps and spring-guns, will assuredly be no
longer in a hurry to visit the beer-shop or the
gin-palace, for the purpose of gaining a false stimulus
by means of ardent and adulterated spirits, whose
only ultimate effect is to increase the mental
and physical debility which for the moment they
appear to remove. If a large portion of the labour-
ing classes are At present in a gross state of demorali•

sation—and we fear there is no denyini 1. the fact—
the fault is less theirs, than the inexor able force of
circumstances. No provision has ever !peen made for
their comforts—no means adopted for tl le purpose of
benefiting their health—they have been ;looked on as
mere passive machines—convenient tools for their su-
periors to work with and make money by. Even in
Parliament, which should legislate for the advantage
of all, instead of for a mere fraction of th►e community,
their wishes and requirements have seldom met with
the attention they deserved. While the pleasures
and interests of the rich man have been protected by
an infinite number of statutes framed To r his express
accommodation, those of the poor mi In have been
treated with supercilious indifference ; ca. if, for mere
form's sake, the subject has been brought forward in
the House of Commons, the House hits either been
counted out, or else Government—feeling it necessary
to say something—has coolly dismissed the question
with a well-bred expression that nothing could be
done. But the dawn of a better day is at hand.
We think we can perceive indications, neither few
nor faint, that a kindly spirit is at work among the
higher, and more especially among the middle,
classes calculated to be of infinite benefit to the
humbler orders. The freaks of SWlNG—the alienation
of the peasantry—the sullen discontent of the opera-
tives ;—these things, taken in connexion with the
rapid spread of Chartism among vast masses of the
working population, have at length effectually opened
the eyes of the great rulers of England—namely, the
middle classes—who now see, with the keenness which
self-interest imparts, that to be just, forbearing, and
humane towards their poor and humble dependants,
is not only an act of duty, but an act also of consum-
mate policy, of which they themselves pill be the first
to reap the fruits.

Madrid journals of the 15th have been received.
The Government, it appears, had received dispatches
from the Spanish Consul at Gibraltar, which were of
an unfavourable nature. Of seven conditions de-
manded of the EMPEROR by the Spanish Cabinet, the
EMPEROR would accede to only two of any import-
ance—namely, the neutrality of a portion of territory.
around Ceuta, and a grant of indemnity for the in-
jury to trade. Some fresh disturbances had broken
out at Madrid, but no cause is assigned.
The Bourse was closed on the 15th, that day being
the Feast of the Assumption.

No further intelligence had been received at Paris
from Tangiers, and the war of words being nearly
exhausted, the contents of the journals possess little
interest. A Ministerial paper infers, that when the
storm is fairly calmed the affair of Otaheite will be
amicably settled by concession on both sides. " The
Commerce," says the Globe, " asserts that any repa-
ration whatever granted to England would be an un-
pardonable act of cowardice. On the other hand, the
Whig journals said, a few days ago, that if the British
Cabinet did not obtain a complete disavowal of the
conduct of the French officers at Otaheite, it would
dishonour itself. Truth and good sense lie between
these two opinions, which are equally extreme and
false. The English Government would not perform
an act of courage in demanding the complete dis-
avowal of legal acts; it would commit an act of folly.
The French Government would not commit an act of
cowardice in expressing its regret at an error of form
and an useless severity ; it would perform an act of
propriety and justice. It is impossible that the two Go-
vernments, composed as they are of prudent men, and
not journalists, should not understand what they owe
to each other."

Though no official accounts had been received from
Marshal BUGEAUD or the Prince DE JOINVILLE since
the last dispatches, unfavourable rumours prevailed,
which are attributed as the cause of the low atate of
the French funds. It was said, and believed, on the
Bourse, that more fighting had taken place between
the French forces and the Moors; that the latter had
collected an army of at least 30,000, and that the
Marshall had sustained a defeat. Another rumour
was that a revolt had taken place on board the squa-
dron of the Prince DE JOINVILLE on account of his
not taking possession of Tangiers. Such an event is
very improbable, and the report is declared by the Mi-
nisterial journals to be entirely destitute of foundation.
Great activity prevailed in the French dock-yards,
we suppose chiefly to amuse and please the mad party
who cry out for war with England. " The Navy De-
partment," according to one of the journals, "had ad-
dressed a circular to all the maritime prefects, invit-
ing them to prepare returns of the number of ships of
war of every description, which might be sent to sea
within a short space of time, together with an ac-
count of the situation of our arsenals and strong
places."

On Wednesday the Funds fell about 10 centimes.
The Three per Cents. closed at 80f. 20c., and the
Fives at 120 f. 10c.

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :

"A courier was sent off on Monday to Cadis by the
Minister of the Marine, with dispatches for the Prince
de Joinyille, it being supposed that his Royal Highness
was still at that port, waiting for the ships sent from
Brest, to join him in the attack upon Mogadore ; but,
according to letters from Cadiz, the Prince had taken
his departure withwt this reinforcement.
" Lieutenant ReMe, aide-de-camp of Admiral Dupetit
Thouars, who had been about three weeks at Vichy
taking the waters, has arrived at Paris, in compliance
with a summons frem the Minister of Marine. Captain
Collett, who commanded the Reine Blanche, the Ad-
miral's flag ship, has also been at Paris for some time.
He left the station in the Pacific Ocean subsequently to
Lieutenant Reine."

" A letter from Vienneof the 14th, says—' Yesterday
the King of Prussia went to the theatre of the Court
with the imperial family. The royal party were re-
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm. The King was to
have been present at a review of the garrison to-day, but
in consequence of a slight indisposition he did not leave
his apartment until late. Ile then paid a visit to Prince
de Metternich, which lasted half an hour. The King
will take his departure to-morrow. Prince de Metter-
nich sets out in two or three days for Trieste, in order
to be there at the Emperor's arrival.'
" A Berlin letter of the 13th, in the Journal de Franc-
fort, gives the following account of the disturbances
amongst the workmen in the cotton factories, which we
have already noticed Last' night, some disturbances
broke out in the large cotton factory of M. Dannenber-
ger, where the men refused to work any longer at their
former wages. It appears that some time back a new
kind of printing was introduced, which took more time than
the old sorts, and, in consequence the director advanced
the wages of the men engaged in it. As soon as they
got accustomed to the new werk, they were able to get
on as rapidly as previously, and:the wages were reduced
to their former amount. It was this reduction which
produced the disturbances. The President of Police re-
paired to the spot with a sufficient force, and did all he
could to calm the irritation which existed. He also took
precautions to prevent any breach of the peace. Unfor-
tunately, the spirit of insubordination had spread, and
this morning the workmen of several neighbouring fac-
tories also struck. The proprietor of one of them, M.
Goldschmidt, was at the moment occupied in making his
preparations for the exhibition, which was to open two
days after, when the determination of the workmen was
communicated to him. He refused to increase the
men's wages, declaring that cix or seven thalors (the
thaler is 2f. 75c.) were ample wages for a week's work.
All possible precautions have been taken to insure the
safety of the machinery, and to prevent acts of violence.'
" A Berlin letter, quoted by the Cologne Gazette, states
that M. Dunker, the police-officer, who had been sent
into Silesia to make an inquiry into the causes and cir-
cumstances of the riots among the maufacturers, has
been killed by a wearer, who shot him with a pistol; but
the Gazette adds that this news needs confirmation."

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The returns for
the last week are favourable. The number of deaths
was 932, while on the previous week they were 934.
In the first class, which includes epedemic, endemic,
and contagious diseases, there is an increase, as com-
pared with previous summers, chiefly in small-pox,
scarlatina, and diarrhcra. In almost every instance
there is a decrease. Deaths from consumption, old
age, and violence, are below the average. The number
of deaths caused by small-pox appears to be greatly
on the increase. The average is eleven, while last
week fifty-eight were carried off. The table gives
no return of the numbers that had not been vacci-

nated. The following is an analysis of the list o
violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, nine cases, of
which four were by falls, and three by horses and
carriages; wound, one case (suicide); drowning, five
cases, of which one was stated to be suicide ; hanging,
two cases (suicides); scald, one case ; and suffocation,
three cases. Total, seventeen males (including one
case put to tetanus), and four females. The ther-
mometer was highest on Friday, 67.5, and lowest on
Thursday, 49.6 degrees. The quantity of rain in
inches was 0'92, the highest amount for the last four
months.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat up from
market have been on a very limited scale, while the
stands were scantily filled with samples. The trade,
however, was heavy, at barely stationary prices. The
imports of Foreign Wheat continue good. The first
parcels sold at full currencies, but in other kinds next to
nothing was doing. The duty is now 19s per quarter.
The supply of Barley was small, yet the sale for it was
heavy, at late rates. Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas, moved
off slowly, at prices barely equal to those obtained on
Monday.

The supply of beasts was tolerably good as to numbers,
but very deficient as to quality. Although the attend-
ance of buyers was rather numerous the Beef trade was
heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. We had on
offer 100 Scots from Aberdeen, and 20 Oxen and Cows
from Holland. Sheep, the supply of which was rather
limited, moved off steadily, and previous rates wei e well
supported. As is almost invariably the case at this
period of the year, the Lamb trade was very dull, at barely
stationary prices. In Calves very little was doing, and,
in some instances, the rates had a downward tendency.
Pins were a mere drug. Mulch Cows sold at from 161 to
191 5s each.
