it be an efficacious one, we shall not quarrel with it.
Now—without any desire invidiously to recur to by-
gone delinquencies—we may remark that the last two
years have been sufficiently fruitful of clerical offenders,
contra bonos mores, on the one hand (in those against
whom irregular, vicious, and even licentious courses have
been established), and contra bonos consuctudines, on the
other (in such as have set aside the old established forms
and rituals of the service to introduce new and offensive
changes therein). The clergy, as a body, will do well
to bethink them how seriously these frequent exposures
of the criminal weaknesses of individual members of it,
must be calculated to prejudice and compromise them in
the public estimation. People will be very apt to in-
dulge in very impertinent and disagreeable speculations
on the expediency of cutting down the scale of the con-
tributions they pay in aid of the endowments in ques-
tion, for the support of a hierarchy, more particularly,
who certainly have revenues of an amount scarcely com-
patible with the purity and simplicity of the " rule of
life" affected by the teachers of a reformed Church,
which owes its existence entirely to the excessive cor-
ruption, wealth, and luxury of "the older Church that it
has superseded among us. For these reasons, we are
as much astonished as scandalised when we read of dig-
nitaries of our Establishment committing themselves to
any proceedings that bring them into collision with their
flocks, or their subordinate functionaries, and make
them parties to appeals to legal and spiritual tribunals,
where the very fact of their appearing is calculated to
damnify them, and to injure the moral character and
authority of their sacred calling. Is there no teaching
these gentlemen the value of decorum ?—the impressive
merit, in their case, of unobtrusive quietness.
Very many days have not elapsed since we brought
under the notice of our readers the case of the pluralist
rector of Oakingham, in Berks, patron, rector, and in-
cumbent of the church and living, and Dean of Salis-
bury, withal. We showed that in consequence of
the alarming state of dilapidation into which the parish
church had fallen, the parishioners had vainly applied
to, and attempted to negotiate with, the Dean and his
lessee, to induce them to repair, in conjunction with the
parishioners, the chancel and the fabric. The evasive
bandying of the parishioners between Mr. Dean and Mr.
Lessee, the architect of the one and the surveyor of the
other, and the no-result of the business will not, we sur-
mise, be easily forgotten. It appears from certain " Re-
solutions" agreed to at a meeting of the inhabitants of
Oakingham, on Monday last, to determine on the steps
proper to be taken for the repairs of the edifice, and
making further provision for the cure, that the Most
Rev. the Dean is still contumacious ; that on the part of
his lessee he offers to subscribe 1001. towards the re-
building of the chancel, on the express condition
that he should be released from all further charge
or demand on that score by the parish ; that the
meeting expressed their astonishment at such a
proposition, which Mr. Dean must have well known
when he made it that the churchwardens could not
comply with, inasmuch as they have no powers by law
to enter into any such arrangement. And the meeting,
seeing the Dean would not co-operate with the pa-
rishioners, instructed the churchwardens to repair and
uphold the chancel at the least possible expense, and to
maintain the fabric as far as possible, in its present condi-
tion, &c.

better establishment of museums in great towns ;
we should lave been disposed to hope that her
Majesty's Govmmaent would have regarded the " Chi.
nese Collectiot" as an acquisition well worthy securing
for the nation. Of all the people congregated together
under one scepre and one system of civil, political, and
social institutions, on any part of the surface of the globe,
and at any period of its known history, the Chinese, it
is not too muchto say, are the most marvellous, and in
some respects the most interesting. Of all the States
over which Etropean civilisation has extended itself,
England, beyonl all competition, has established the most
extensive, the nost beneficent, and, we may now trust,
the most peananeat relations with that vast
but jealous empire. To commemorate the spirit,
the enterprise, the liberality, the valour, and
the inflexible perseverance which have been mani-
fested by her is establishing her mercantile colonies
in those remote rgions, we can imagine no means more
admirably calculated than the careful deposit and pre
servation of such a collection as this of articles illustra-
tive of the social character, the domestic manners, the
arts, and the reinement of that many-peopled nation.
Instead of allowirg it to be brokenup, sold piecemeal, and
dispersed into a tiousand hands, it ought to be purchased
by us, as that European nation which first rendered
potent to the rest of the world the resources of so stu-
pendous an Asiatic empire. That the collection should
have been made iy an American gentleman does not at
all affect this viev of the question; for without the pre-
vious establishme3t of the paramount authority of the
English among sll the other " barbarian " races at
Canton, the collection itself could never have been
made. The extraordinary patronage it has already
found with those classes among us who have had the
opportunity and ueans of visiting it, may afford a just
notion of the value it would possess with the whole
British public, if rendered gratuitously accessible to
their inspection and study. The costumes, the spirited
and admirable models, large as the life, of men and
women of variois races composing part of the great
Chinese family, tie superb specimens of native manufac-
tures, and the elegant glimpses afforded of the interior
economy of their houses, temples, &c., combine to ren-
der this exhibition one of the most popular and instruc-
tive that was ever seen in London. We heartily trust
t hat arrangement; may be made to prevent its being
taken out of the cosntry ; and it would be a great reflec-
tion on oar public spirit if we hesitated to purchase it
for the nation, on the fair and equitable terms which we
should suppose would be those required for it.

There are no late ship letters, although we have plenty of
arrivals to-day.
There is an increase shown in the Bank of England's issue
of notes last week to the amount of 223,190/., while its stock
of gold and silver was 15,635,735/. in the Issue Department,
and 776,243/. in the Banking Department, giving an in-
crease of 139,227/. The Rest is less by 10,2161. The Public
and Private Securities together increased upwards of one
million sterling.
Tha Scotch banks, during the four weeks ending the 31st
ultimo, increased their circulation of promissory notes by
356,011/. The Irish banks, on the contrary, lessened theirs
by 125,2691., probably in order the better to meet the con-
templated operation of the proposed new Currency Bill.
The Public Securities have been heavy again. Consols
are marked 99% to par for present Transfer, and 99 for Ac-
count. Exchequer-bills are down to 595. to 60s. premium.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. obtain 102% to
1024. Bank Stock is about 211.
The accounts from the Madrid Bourse, where the excessive
speculation carried on has resulted in most serious losses,
causes the value of Spanish Stock to rule heavy here. The
Five per Cents. have been 29% 4, and the Three per Cents.
41% % ; Portuguese Converted have realised 6714. Mexi-
can are flatter at 37% to 384 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 63% to 3%.
Railway Shares are still fluctuating, but there is a good
deal doing. The disposition is rather to sell.
BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

We should like to ask the Dean of Salisbury whe-

ther he falls back upon an inward consciousness of such
pure and disinterested affection for the Church that has
advanced him to so high a rank among her servants,—
upon the personal humility of a servant only anxious to
exalt the glory of his LORD, to render all worldly as well
as spiritual homage to his Divine Master in the careful
maintenance of His time-honoured temples,—that ha
can thus afford to repudiate the respect and insult the affec-
tions of his flock ? That he is thus content to earn an un-
becoming notoriety among those dignified ministers of the
Establishment who will give least towards the keeping up
of religious fabries, which it should be their pride as it
is their duty to preserve and cherish, because they re-
ceive most from the congregations to whose personal
wishes and comfort they are so palpably indifferent ?
That he will thus vulture to challenge public indigna-
tion at his emphatic determination to keep his pockets
full, though he thereby render the church empty ? Per-
tinacity of this kind offers but sorry prospects to those

friends of the Establishment who are anxious to see her
recovering, by all exercises of Christian humility, active
charity, brotherly love, and true and unsordid zeal for
her honour, whatever influence or authority she is said
by some to have lost through the proselytising energy
and uncompromising devotion of her Roman Catholic
rivals !

Another conflict is anticipated in Switzerland. It
appears that the Ultramontaine party in Lucerne, under
the influence of the Jesuits, meditates an attack on
Argau, a neighbouring canton, which refuses to accede
to their terms. Their object is to assist the insurgents
at Freiamt, and overturn the existing Government of
Argau. The Zurich Gazette says 2,000 volunteers
from Lucerne are ready to move upon the expediton.
This movement has caused great excitement in some of
the Protestant cantons, but up to the 3ist ult. no col-
lision had taken place.

According to intelligence from Madrid of the 30th
ult. the excitement caused by the illegal proceedings
against the press continued unabated, but the public
peace had not been disturbed. The Gazette publishes
the treaty concluded between Spain and Morocco,
signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the two countries and
the British Consul, Mr. DnummoND HAY, as mediator.
By this treaty the frontier of Ceuta shall be re-esta-
blished such as it was conformably to the 15th article
of the treaty of peace. The EMPEROR engages to pre-
vent the Moors on the frontier of Melilla, Penon, and
Alhucema from molesting either the inhabitants of those
places or the vessels approaching the coast.

The Paris papers contain long comments on the new
treaty for the suppression of the slave trade ; but, with
the exception of the Messager and Journal des Debar,
they are of little importance. The former journal points
out an error in the translation which relates to the
right of search ; and states that, by the 10th article, it is
abolished, and not suspended, as inferred from the text
published by the London journals. " The conventions
of 1831 and 1833," says that journal, "cannot be re-
established but by the previous concert and common
consent of the two Governments; and in default of
this common consent, they are, at the end of ten
years definitively abrogated. This is what results
from the very text of that article. As to Article 8,
when the instructions annexed to it shall have
been published, it will be evident that they only
go to regulate the execution of a principle of the right
of nations, conformably to the constant practice of the
French navy, to the precedents of our laws, arid esta-
blished in the same form, in the same terms, by the
official documents of the Government of the United
States."

Amongst the rumours regarding the Colleges
about to be established in Ireland, it has reached us
that Dr. Cook, of Belfast, and Dr. Kirwin. of Galway,
are named as likely to be the future Presidents of the
respective colleges of these places. If clergymen be
eligible to these responsible situations (and we cannot
see why they should not be considered the most eligible)
we do not think a better selection could possibly be
made. These gentlemen's acquirements, talents, and
liberality of opinions are well known to the country, and
held in the highest estimation by persons of the religi-
ous professions to which they belong. And we have no
doubt their appointment will prove equally acceptable
to the Presbyterians of the north, and to the Catholics
of Connaught.

DEATII OF Met. GEORGE STANSBURY, COMPOSER
AND VOCALIST.—Another name is added to the dramatic Obituary
by the decease of this clever and well-known artist, who expired
on Tuesday night, at his house, Melina-place, Lambeth, at the age
of forty-four, after a painful illness, which terminated in dropsy.
Stansbury was a native of 13 ristol, where his father kept a musical
repository.

vertised for sale. In these days of awakened attention
