himself, from the first, a convert to the Tractarian
dogmas, and proclaimed himself in the tequel a zealous and
determined convert to Popery. This was a very natural
transition, fairly, if unfortunately, commenced—openly, if,
lamentably, terminated. The Bishop of EXETER adopted a
different course. He twisted and twirled the question of
Puseyite innovations with all the casuistry of which he is so
accomplished a master until it was most difficult to get at
what his own view of it really was. But though, like CA-
TILINE, unrivalled in the dangerous art " simulare et
dissimulare,"—he cou'd not long dissemble his own
nature when stimulated by the opposition and sar-
casm which his coquetting with the Scarlet Lady did not
fail to provke. He got exasperated. This was natural enough
in a prelate of his easy temper ! When exasperated he gave
full vent to his prepossessions for Puseyism on the one hand,
and for theological denunciations on the other. This was
not only natural, but a necessity of his temperament. But
the scolding bishop did not conclude as Mr. WARD
did, by snaking submission to and throwing himself
into the arms of the Church of Rome. He had from
ten to twelve thousand good reasons for every year against
any such excessive sacrifice to impulse ; and he has
retired, for awhile at any rate, from the Pusey
controversy, vanquished and compelled to notify the fact of
his being restrained by the superior authorities of the Church
to his own clergy. But we are sorry to be compelled to infer
from the very able letter of Mr. Churchwarden CLAYTON to the
Bishop of CHICHESTER, which we yesterday published, that
the see of that ancient city is filled by a determined fol-
lower of HENRY of EXETER. The former, with all the bland
amiability of the latter, seems to have taken offence with
the parishioners of New Shoreham for addressing their re-
spectful remonstrances to him against the introduction by
their new vicar, a Mr. WHEELER, of the Tractarian
school's innovations of ceremonial and ritua►. The
case of Mr. WHEELER'S Puseyism was so flagrant, that
the Right Reverend Prelate could not but rebuke him. But
to compensate the vicar, his Lordship has thought proper to
vapulate his querulous congregation, by significantly quoting
to them certain passages in condemnation of "strife and
vain glory." The parishioners, through their churchwarden,
very reasonably assume that this gentle hint is intended for
themselves—a caustic rebuke for having presumed to im-
peach either the discretion or the orthodoxy of their pastor.
This letter, with the signature of the churchwarden, is most
honourable to them as Christians and Protestants. As pole-
mical controversialists it reflects upon them signal credit. They
express their sentiments with a moderation and a firmness, a
felicity of expression and a vigour of illustration that are
worthy of TAYLOR or BAXTER, the racy JORTIN or the acute
BUTLER. Having so recently printed Mr. CLAYTON'S epistle
to the Bishop, we do not here more in detail refer to it; but
it deserves to be long remembered as a model of the temper,
tone, and even the language, of which certain right
reverend correspondents might study with advantage.
But we cannot abstain from asking what it is that
this infatuated affection for the distasteful Popish re-
vivals (we will, fur the sake of the argument, call
them by no harsher name) proposes to accomplish?
Is it the introduction of forms which they conceive to be es-
sentials ? The answer is, that the Protestant laity of this
country regard them as theatrical and empty mummeries.
Do the Puseyites change their ground, and urge that those
forms are in themselves indifferent, but proper to the due and
decorous celebration of Divine worship ? Will they persist
in upholding them when they find that the observance of
these forms disgusts the frequenters and assistants at that
worship itself? Are they mad enough to cling to a prescribed
pantomime of religious action, which has no more reference
to the holy and imperishable, the spiritual and intellectual
truths of Christianity than the old dramatic " mysteries"
and pageants of the Roman Church in this country in
the dark and middle ages ;—to cling to outward
ceremonials like ;those of the irretrievable and
guilty cost of making vacant the Protestant temple itself ?
Of withdrawing, for the sake of their human inventions, the
true worshippers of the living GOD and the REDEEMER from
the simple altars at which they were received into the Chris-
tian community, of which their fathers, for many past gene-
rations, had also been members ? In sober truth, the guilt
of all this pertinacious wilfulness, exemplified in the mis-
chiefs it has already worked, and is so fatally calculated still
to produce, in the defection of Protestant Christians from the
pure faith and unpolluted worship of their ancestors, is one of
the most grave offences against the cause of Divine Truth
which the history of heresies has recorded for centuries past.

Accounts from Switzerland state that the deliberations of
the Grand Council of Berne had been brought to a conclusion.
On the 12th instant M. NEUHAUS summed up the proceedings
in a speech of two hours duration. The proposition of the
Executive Council was at last adopted dy a large majority, it
being voted by 138 to 42, that the Grand Council approved
of the principles developed in the report, or, in other words,
approves of the policy of the majority of the Executive Coun-
cil, which has been protested against by the minority.

The intelligence brought by the Dutch mail is important,
and exhibits in a striking light the paternal character of the
Government. A scarcity of provisions is apprehended in
Holland from the failure of the potato crop and the cold, late
harvest, and the KING, resolved:to provide in time against such
a calamity, has, therefore, issued a royal decree reducing the
import duties on flour, rice, beans, potatoes, and other neces-
sary articles of food. This Order in Council, which comes
into operation immediately, announces that measures will be
proposed in the ensuing session of the States General for the
purpose of continuing till June, 1846, the minimum duty on
wheat duty, barley, &c., as determined by the law of
Dec. 29, 1845. We have no wish to raise unnecessary alarm,
but the almost universal failure of the potato crop in this
country as well as the continent, and the present unfa-
vourable weather, and the doubtful quality of the new crops
cannot fail to have their effects on prices. Holland is within
a few hours sail of England, high prices in that country of
course must be felt here, and the question arises—will our
Government imitate the good example and issue an Order of
Council in time to guard against the danger ?

Madrid journals of the 10th have been received. They are
occupied chiefly with the proceedings of the court-martial,
the excitement caused by the conduct of the authorities in
regard to the late outbreak, and absurd rumours of an inva-
sion from General ESPARTERO. Some of them state that
English gold bad been plentifully distributed among the in-
surgents, as well as the soldiers, and one of them (the Es.
panol) publishes a report that the ex-REGENT is about to
leave England in a vessel-of-war, wich is to be followed by a
steamer, carrying 25,600 stand of arms. " This news," says
that journal, "is communicated to us from Lisbon, and is
considered authentic."
The Gazette states the real cause of the dissatisfaction
excited by the new tax in these words :—" From the bad
system in the collection which has hitherto been adopted,
many have been able to avoid payment, and as they can no
longer do so under the new arrangement, they have become
dissatisfied." The capital was quiet, but considerable anxiety
prevailed respecting the fate of the prisoners, whose conduct
was under investigation before the court• martial.

On the 10th some business was done on the Bourse, at the
following prices :—Three per Cents., 32% Cash ; Fives, 22%
for Account.

Certain of the Paris journals, from want of other topics,
have been compelled to take their text from some articles in
two London journals, respecting the visit of the QUEEN to ,
Eu. According to one of these papers it was anything but
a friendly visit. It was based on intrigue, and our simple-
minded QUEEN was inveigled to the Court of Lours Pm-
LIPPE solely for the purpose of giving her consent to the
marriage of the Duke DE MONTPENSIER to the sister of the
Queen of SPAIN. Two of the French papers gravely reply to
this charge, and one of them, the France, declares that such a
marriage is impossible. " Spain," it says, "is now out
of all diplomatic course with the Powers on the
banks of the Rhine, and can only return into
it by one means—that of a marriage between
ISABELLA and CnArtrzs VI. On this depends all her futu-
rity—on this depends her lasting tranquillity. All other
combinations must fail. England may be ready to promote
the interests of the Prince of COBURG, and France those of
the Duke DE MONTPENSIER ; but Spain will never allow her
destiny to be disposed'of without her consent, and she has a
horror of foreigners, Neither the Prince of Comma nor the
Duke DE MONTPENSIER will meet with any sympathy in
Spain. The marriages of these Princes will have no other
effect than that of uniting all parties against them, of hasten-
ing on the catastrophe, and they will go only to serve as
escorts to the two Princesses, when the storm of revolution
shall drive them precipitately out of their country."
The papers contain the following accounts from Eu ;—" On
Sunday morning, between -eleven and twelve, the KING,
accompanied by Generals ATISALIN, GOURGAUD, and FruArr,
and the Prefect of the Seine Inferieure, took a walk in the
town of Eu, and stopped on the place to see the National
Guard, who had assembled for a religious ceremony at the
church, file off. At two o'clock his MAJESTY left the Chateau
a second time, accompanied by the Mayor and Deputy-Mayor
of Eu, the Commandant of the National Guard, and some
members of the Tribunal of Commerce, and took a walk near
the mills of Mr. PACKILM, but in consequence of the un-
favourable state of the weather, his MAJESTY returned to
the Chateau by three o'clock." We subjoin additional
extracts from the papers :

RACECOURSE, WEDNESDAY AFTEILN')ON, 4 O'CLOCK,

The " Great St. Leger," after a series of fluctuations, mys-
tifications, and =etchings almost without parallel, has
at length been brought to an issue, but under circum-
stances that sadly lessened its attractions to those whose
interest in it lacked the impulse of speculation. We al-
luded to a change of weather in our last ; it became
more decided as the night:advanced, and the promise of
the morning was wretchedly unfavourable ; the rain fell
steadily, and the prospects of the " grand day" were of the
gloomiest description. This, beyond doubt, had an effect upon
the attendance ; still those already on the spot, and vast num-
bers who came by the night train from London, York, Liver-
pool, Manchester, Birmingham, and other distant places, and
the, thousands at Sheffield, whom no weather can daunt,
were not to be disappointed, and the streets, long before
midday, were almost blocked up. Of equipages of a higher
class the display was far from "imposing," unless we take
the word with the signification attached by those who may be
ancient enough to remember the golden days of the turf there
were several unpretending carriages and pair, and a few
" fours," but of " display," in its true meaning, the less said
the better. However, this and the badness of the weather
until midday, may have detracted from the " grandness" of
the day, it by no means warrants an inference of failure or
flatness; on the contrary, the assemblage was immense, re-
minding us of Doncaster in its palmy days, and it must have
gratified those who have been so active in purging the turf
from its impurities, and making it again worthy of patronage
and support from the higher classes, that the proportion of
the aristocracy of both sexes exhibited a very large increase.
Anything like a perfect list of the visitors is out of the ques-
tion ; we can now only make a selection, reserving a more
comprehensive " Court Circular" for a future day :
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

Lords--Spencer, Glasgow, Chesterfield, Strafford, Euston,
Edward Russell, George Bentinck, Maidstone, Glammis, John
Fitzroy, Duncannon, Brownlow, Cecil, James Fitzroy, &c.

Liam, Nicholson.

Captains—Pettat, Lowther, Bastard, Jones, Peel, Higgins,

S. L. Fox, &c.

Business recommenced between ten and eleven o'clock
this morning, and in the midst of an almost impenetrable
crowd was kept up with " more cry than wool" for a
couple of hours. The most important item in the proceed-
ings was a declaration by Mr. Gully that Old England would
not start. This was a thunderbolt to those who but ten
minutes before had invested at 15 and 16 to 1. It was also
stated that Red Robin would not run, but no official an-
nouncement was made. The prices of the favourites varied
in some particulars from those last quoted. Miss Sarah was
backed at 9to 4, Mentor at 9to 2, Weatherbit at 6 and 7
to 1 (plenty of layers), Pantasa at 10 to 1, The Baron at 12
to 1, The Pasha at 10 to 1, Annandale at 12 to 1, Duc-an-
Durras at 1,000 to 30, and Fitzallan at 25 to 1.

By one o'clock the room was closed, and the scene shifted
to the race-course. Fortunately the weather had now
cleared up, and, to the delight of the thousands congre-
gated on the ground, has been fine up to the closing of our
express.

The Municipal and Selling Stakes got over, the bell rang
for saddling for the only event that possessed any interest—
the St. Leger.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY; QUARTER TO THREE:
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 bags,
2,000 being on speculation. Previous rates were fully sup-
ported. 200 Pernans sold at 63%d. to 7d.; 150 Maranham, at
41/Bd. to 6d. ; 250 Bahia, at 64d.; 100 Surat, at 3%d.; and
the rest American, at 4d. to 51Ad. per lb.—The business done
in Shares was good, and at advancing prices.
Accounts have been received direst from Rio to the 11th
July. Political matters were quiet, and the Budget was
expected to be passed by the Senate. Exchange 24% to 25.
There are not any arrivals of the least importance an-
nounced in the City this morning.
The half-yearly General Court of the Proprietors of Bank
Stock, held this morning, was of some interest, but rather
thinly attended. The usual dividend was announced, though

the
Bank of England at the West-end of the town, was casually,
and we may say rather guardedly referred to. The subject
still remains for the decision of the Court of Directors. The
Governor (Mr. B. Heath) was most explicit as to the details
of the affairs of the Corporation, and certainly most satisfac-
tory they were; as, after paying the half-year's dividend,
which will take 494,5091. ottd, the balance of undivided pro-
fits amounted, on the 31st August last, to 3,091,3781. lls. 4d.
The income-tax, amounting to 14,8241. 3s. 4d., is included
in the same sum as the balance, or rest. And,
after all deductions on account of both items,
there was added to the rest a sum of 15,363/. 14s. Bd. Well,
indeed, may the Proprietors be thankful for such good ma-
nagement, especially as our old friend Mr. Clark quaintly
observed, considering the low rate of interest that money has
borne for a long time past. It will be seen that the market
ya'uo of Bank Stock has been fully supported to-day. The
Branch Banks of the Corporation are paying very well.
Not much business was transacted in the Consol market
this morning. For the Account the quotations are flat, and
at 98% and 98A, and for Money at 985/ %; for Long An-
nuities, from 11 to 11% ' • and for Exchequer-bills, from 465.
to 48s. premium. Bank Stock for the Account has been done
at 2131 A, and India Bonds at 625. premium.
The only prices • for the Foreign Stock to-day have been in
Old Danish, at 90 ; in Mexican Deferred, at 17% 1/4 ; in
Spanish,tat;27l/1 ;in the Three per Cents., at 38% ;in
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents , at 10%; in the Dutch
Two-and-a- Half per Cents., at 61; and in tho Four per

The Railway Share Market has not been very animated
to-day, but business to a good extent has been effected. The
settlement can scarcely be said to be entirely over yet, such
is the amount of speculation and of real business that has
been entered upon. The principal alterations have been a
slight fall in Birmingham and Oxford Junction—in Bristol
and Exeter from 85 to 83—a rise in Goole and Doncaster to
6. The Great Westerns have receded from 170 to 163, the
Half Shares from 96 to 92%; the London and Birmingham
opened at 2225, and are now 221; the Midlands are lower,
so are the Newcastle and Darlington Junction. The Great
Northern of France are firm at 3 premium, Rosamel's ditto at
1% IA premium, and the West Flanders at 3% premium.
