SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—We are glad to see the standard of re-
volt raised in the Church itself against the priestly
pretensions of Henry of Exeter, and his congenial
curate; and against the "holy innovations" of the
Peel of the Church, Charles James, Bishop of London.
The standard of revolt may be considered rather a fierce
phrase. But, after all, it is only revolt against revolt—
revolt against individual or clique caprice, setting
itself up as the authorative organ of English Church-
mans*. Now, very unfortunately, English Church-
manship has no organ just at present. Every
English Churchman, "high" or "low," is "thrown on
his own resources," and compelled to choose his own
ground. The charge of irreverence to authorised in-
terpreters of orthodox doctrine or discipline must
come with a very indifferent grace indeed from. the
Original Church agitators. The sometime editors of
Froude's " Remains," or of the British Critic—such
Gracchi of the Church as Mr. Newman or Mr. Ward
—are the last men in the world to be listened to in
complaint of the sacerdotal sedition, Bishop Phillpotts
doing the honours of his diocese to the suspended
Saint who had given name to Puseyism, Bishop
Blomfield setting aside all ecclesiastical usage
(which, as the Rev. Henry Raikes, Chancellor of
Chester, most justly observes, "in ecclesiastical
matters is but another term for law")—these " holy
innovators," we say—betraying, moreover, in all
their innovations a degree of ignorance of the law of
the land, and the law of the Church, all but incon-
ceivable in undeniably acute and officially elevated
. men, speaking from a seat of authority—have begun
that process of unsettling men's minds, which never
yet ended in favour of implicit obedience to the
power that provoked it. It is very strange that it
should not have been felt, in those days of inquiry,
that unreasoned deference can only be paid to pre-
scriptive--habitual—claims on it. Men will readily
take for granted that there is some reason at the
foundation of any practice, which comes recom-
mended to them by the fact that it has subsisted
from century to century. And some reason, for the
most part, there is. It is the crudest of all proceed-
ings--and that which has most usually been objected
to hasty Reformers—to ascribe nothing of weight to
usage, and everything to some fancied fitness. Wise
men would have begun for instance, in the great
gown-Or-surplice question, by supposing the vesture
obnoxious to their zeal innocent, till it was proved
guilty. They would not have ridden off on some
nonsensical hobby of the sermon being part of the
communion; they would have traced the poor gown
back, and would have discovered its real and original
conformity to the whole system of Protestant
worships Accordingly the decent and primitive
gown (we, of course, speak as Protestants) would
not have been discarded by a prelate professing not
to be ashamed of the name of Protestant, whatever
might have happened to it at the hands of the Puseyite
Bishop Phillpotts. And, we imagine, even that pole-
mical prelate, with all his fine instinct of discord,
would have hesitated to indulge it (in the matter of
burials) in defiance of the law of the land—if he had
happened to know that law a little better, before he
talked about it. In this state of things, and with this
incredible levity in some high places, every Church-
man must feel the fate of the Church possibly de-
pendent on him. Whether, or not, there are " ten
righteous men" in the city, may fix its doom.
Whether, or not, there are sufficient numbers
of clergymen not drunk with a dream of power—
to retain the general confidence of the laity in
something like sane spiritual guidance—is the
question which every clergyman's conduct and lan-
guage go so farlo answer. There can be no scruple
about speaking out, when the modern monkery speaks
out so loudly. There can be no scruple about dis-
siciting from bishops, when the modern monkery
insults them, and they truckle to it in meed of
insult. Any one who requires proof of this is referred
to Mr. Ward's " Ideal of a Christian Church"
and with regard to the truckling which has followed
all this insult, on the part of some prelates—what are
these " holy innovations" (never thought of before)
but concessions to this modern monkery ?
What are they but concessions, and most blunder-
ing ones, to . the spirit which now avows
its entire unity with Itome—while, most pspoe-
terously—though accepting " the whole cycle of
Roman doctrine"—denouncing every exercise of pri•
vate judgment in matters of faith as a sin—deelaring
his Holiness " head bishop on earth," mad his dogmas
tic decrees infallible—declaring our Church " vitally"
and utterly "corrupt"—and declaring elsewhere, that
Churches thus corrupt are not Churches at all—the
modern monkery of Oxfhrd clings nevertheless—like,
sombre and stifling ivy—to the Church of its fellow-
ships—the Church of its coterie-influence—its tea mid
" relies." 'the modern monks believe Rome in all
things—except when Rome tells them they must join !
her. In this ridiculous and self-stultified position let
them by all means rest. We would not make a martyr or
a single man (we beg pardon, monk) of them. We
would !u them go on reviling fur wiser and far better;
men than themselves, and enumerating amesigst the
signs of sointAsip the harbouring of vermin. But we
would not let them dictate charges to Prelates, and ce-
retnonites to Protestants. We would let them cell us
heretics to their hearts' content, but not palm on us
their heresy. We would let them anathematise all
private judgment, hut net sub4itute theirs for ours.
For, in feet, to egm rivete judgment the -alipsal is made,
after all, on bath' s. The Newman aid Wasel
pkiny, stilted, would dethrone rsasen from all j,el4.
meat on faith. But they are compelled to restore
Reason ad interim, to supply arguments why they
themselves stay out of Itsone. It is universally
received in the Roman communion, tb-st no
SalVtitiOri is to be obtained out of it—and that
fui• hing but " invincible ignorance" eau be
pleaded for any yet -Within its pale. Mr.
Wnrd declares that he looks to Rome for instrue- •
tion and model, and exults in adding that numbers,
like himself, are possessed with the whole cycle of
Roman doctrine. But this doctrine—the keystone
of the arch (for it is this which stamps Catholic
enthority) this, the most imperative in " the
%hole cycle of Roman doctrine"—these Ox-
ford heretics boggle at. And why ? Because
nil other Roman doctrines are good weapons of
attack and aspersion on Protes*entism. Det this ore
doctrine demands the sacrifice of btation and influence
by themselves. We ascribe no motives o f sordid in-
terest to this very curl us party. hart it is choir,
beyond all mistake, that they feel coosistency would
consign them to insignificance. We hen!? an ener•
. getic (riot exclusive or persecuting) reaction of Pre-
testan t independence amongst clergy a,iid le i t
(which is surely as justifishle as insurrectioe against
Protestantism) will do just the same husire-Ss for
them—consign them, namely, to that inslgnificenee
to which some remnant of commoil sense withholds
them, as yet, from consigning themselves.
S PANDARD.—" The Viscount Abrantes, we
believe, is still in London." Upon this short and
somewhat doubtful text the Morning Chronicle hangs
an argument of more than a column long to prove
that some important change in the sugar duties.
some change much more important than that
proposed by the Whigs and rejected by Parlias
ment in 1841, may be looked for at the hands
of Sir Robert Peel. We assure our readers that
the Morning Chronicle has no other datum what-
ever to support this extravagant expectation,
but its own belief that " the Viscount Abrantes'' (the
Mazilian envoy) "is still in London." Now, dis-
iiiiesing the uncertainty in the case, and taking it for
granted the Viscount Abrantes is still in London, we
must dispute the necessity of our Contemporary's in-
ference. The Viscount Abrantes is, like every foreign
gentleman and every foreign minister with whose
country we are at peace (now happily the case in
reference to the whole world) at liberty to
remain in London as long as it shall seem plea-
sant to him ; and if he came here with
the peremptory and extravagant propositions
that have been ascribed to his Government, his lin-
gering here is a proof, in addition to ninny others,
that his propositions have been, as they ought to be,
firmly rejected, and that he waits a modification of
them from his own Government. Shopkeepers per-
fectly well understand from the hesitating retire-
ment of a customer who, has in vain attempted to
cheapen an article, that he will, in the end, come
back and purchase it. The customer as well
knows that the shopkeeper who follows him into
the street will, ultimately, accept his price. It
is just the same thing in diplomacy. The
party that shows an anxiety to keep the nego-
tiations open as long as possible, is the party that
knows he must give way at last. If the Brazilian
Government had not in fact had so much common
sense as to see before the failure of their negotiations
with France (of which, by the way, the Horning
e'llronicle says nothing) that this is their situation,
by was the Viscount Abrantes sent here ? The
vitimation of England was obtained from Mr. Ellis—
why then send a special envoy, if there was no new
proposition to offer ? It may be, that the Brazilian
Government may, like others whom the League and its
journals have cheated, have been for a moment puffed
ul with an inordinate notion of the importance of the
Brazil trade to tithe European nations, to France as
well as to England, and may, during this delusion,
}l've miscalculated its power, or rather forgotten its
utter inability to exclude European goods. A few
minutes' conversation of its representative with the
letter informed and more prudent Ministers of
England and of France would soon expose the true
state of the case, and apprise the Brazilian Govern-
Tent, that highly as it may think of itself and of the
"mmeree of-the country which it governs, the &st-

meat of Rio. This, no doubt is the _ overn-

dency of the report which the Viscount Abrantes has
made to his superiors, and it is awaiting the modified
propositions which such a report must suggest, that
"the Viscount Abrantes we believe is still in Eng-
land." The illornits, Chronicle "eng Fes for it that
the Viscount's demands are of a Siby line character,
and have not been diminished by so long an
armistim" Upon what does our Contemporary
found this very rash engagement? The Sibyl did not
linger still in Itome ; but, though she returned,
she took her answer and departed; she did not stop
to " higgle and haggle," it we may use the
Parliamentary dialect. Again, there has been
no armistice, except the expiring treaty is to
be regarded as such. It may be that the
Brazilian Government will be so silly (though we
do not expect it to be so), as to make more extrava-
gant demands, because the less extravagant are refused,
in order to get in a higher style out of the. affair, just
as Mr. O'Connell prefers the more obvious impossibi-
lity, repeal, to the less obvious impossibility, fede-
' ralism. "In for a penny, in for a pound," accord-
ing to the proverb. When people resolve to claim
what they know they Rill not get, there is dignity
and grandeur in insisting upon something very great.
The fact is, that our Contemporary's article is from
first to last mere moonshine ; an abuse of time, type,
and the patience of readers, of which we cannot rea-
sonably complain, seeing that we have nearly filled a
column in replying to it ; for which we ask pardon.
