CIIRIST CHURCH, EXETER.
The recent melancholy events which have disturbed the
Diocese of Exeter, and which, it is feared, cannot be satisfactorily
settled, have largely contributed to establish the necessity for a Free
Episcopal Church.

parts of the same country ?" On the whole, we think it
extremely probable that where Lord Brougham lays down
his distinction, a negro would see no difference. As to
" the horrors of the middle passage," in particular, it
is quite time that we should begin, in the use of this
phrase, to recognise the qualification so indubitably es-
tablished by Mr. Macgregor Laird and others, who have
practically investigated the subject. At least two-
thirds of these "horrors" are due solely to our attempt
forcibly to suppress the traffic. It has given to it all the
characteristics of a smuggling trade—thrown it entirely into
the hands of the most desperate men—made its profits enor-
mously high—and, by placing every conceivable obstacle
in the way of supplying the unhappy negroes with either
air, water, or food, during their passage, has driven those
engaged in the trade to look for their profit not to the ori-
ginal cargo, but to its miserable remnant when thinned by
suffocation, starvation, and disease. None can detest slavery
in every form more heartily than we do ; but we are not pre-
pared to admit that good intentions excuse either errors in
reasoning or blunders in action. The merit of our labours
on behalf of the negro race must be estimated not so much
by what we feel for their Sufferings, as by what we' o for
their diminution; and by this standard, whatever Lord
Brinigham may say, neither our naval operations on the
African coast, nor the recent modifications of the sugar mo-
nopoly, will bear a very critical examination.
STANDARD.—The debate in the House of Commons
last night has, we own, disappointed us. It is true that the
best speeches—for those of Mr. Colquhoun and Mr. Grogan
were incomparably the best—were opposed to the conclu-
sion which, upon most painful and deliberate considera-
tion, --we have ourselves arrived at, and therefore we
are incompetent judges of their merit. There speeches
would have convinced us if anything could—but they
have failed. Mr. Gladstone's speech is, however, the
great occasion of our disappointment, though with the full
knowledge of that able gentleman's views on Church and
religious questions, which he has so candidly given to the
public, the speech ought not to have disappointed any
one. Wishing, however, to commend where we can one
whom we most highly respect, and whose weakness, we
may remark, is rather the weakness of his position
than proper to himself, let us acknowledge that Mr.
Gladstone put forward three points with fairness
and with effect—the implied contract to support a
college in which Roman Catholic priests might be educated,
the utter fallacy of the notion that any restitution is due
to Roman Catholics, and the large share which hostility
to the principle of an established church has in provoking
the present agitation. The failure in Mr. Gladstone's
argument arises from the peculiar views which he
holds on religious policy. Rejecting the exercise of
reason and the appeal to private judgment in religious
inquiry, he can of course see no prospect of an ad-
vance towards religious truth in the general advance of know-
ledge. Regarding Protestantism, with Mr. Palmer, of Mag-
dalen, as a simple negation, he assumes that whatever footing
is for a moment allowed to Romanism, Romanism, as not
being a simple negation, but something positive, must make
good,- and even :make more extensive. The testimony
of history is against Mr. Gladstone's notions in
this respect, but a better answer is, that Protestan-
tism is not a simple negation—it is the Gospel, and
the whole Gospel ; and if we are Christians we must believe
that, with the aid of enlightened inquiry and the appeal to
honest judgment, the Gospel will in the eud prevail over
all error, though error may be for a time pro-
tected by ignorance or tyranny. We hope that there
is nothing either ridiculous or visionary in this opinion.
We do not attempt rashly to measure the proximity
of the consummation, but we submit that, according
to all human calculation, the extension of knowledge must
be hereafter, as it has been hitherto, the means. Again,
Mr. Gladstone speaks of the success of the Bill before Par-
liament as removing all religious objections to the general
endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy (so at least we un-
derstand him). It would be difficult to imagine an argument
more calculated to impede the progress of the measure than
this. For ourselves, if we believed the present Bill likely to
produce the suggested effect, we should at once renounce it.
We do not, however, see the slightest connexion between
the measure before Parliament and the threatened endow-
ment. What is the measure before Parliament? The State
finds an institution in which are educated four hundred and
forty persons, hereafter to exercise an influence over a large
proportion of the people, which influence the State cannot
control. These four hundred and forty persons are
educated imperfectly, lodged and fed miserably, and trained
in sordid habits, which, because they are sordid, are sour, and
such as, by excluding them from good company and its
sympathies, make of them enemies to all above them. The
State gives money to provide better education, better food
and lodging, and to elevate the habits of the 440.
What religious scruples are comprised by this that would
not be compromised as much by giving the means'
of instruction, frieze clothing, dry lodging, and habits
of order to a still inferior class of Roman Catholics ? The
question seems, indeed, to resolve itself into this—are we
forbidden to render any act of kindness to our fellow
citizens, if they happen to be Roman Catholics ?
But we may be answered, these persons are in
preparation for the Roman Catholic Church. What,
we ask, is that to us ? We do not enjoin upon
them to study Roman Catholic tenets, or to hold such tenets.
We make no condition that every Maynooth student shall
become a Roman Catholicpriest. We distinctly disclaim all
interference with their religious studies. There is nothing in
the Bill before Parliament to prevent the trustees, professors,
and students of Maynooth joining the Church of Eng-
land to-morrow. We give them so much money, the
greater part of it to be applied to provide lodging, food, and
raiment for four or five hundred of our fellow-subjects--
in this surely no religions principle• is compromised—the
rest to be applied, at their own discretion and upon their
own responsibility, to provide the means of education. If
they misapply the gift, every one sees that the sin rests
with them, not with us. While we maintain the Pro-
testant Church in Ireland, as we trust it ever will be main-
tained, every aid we give to instruction will be a means
to light men to its temples. The endowment of
the priests would be a widely different proceeding. By that
we should pay men for being Romanists, for teaching Ro-
manism, and for turning as many as they could from the
church that we believe to be the true one.

The party within the pale of the Establishment, who denounce
the Protestant Reformation, and labour without ceasing to subvert
its principles, cannot be sufficiently held in check in a diocese like
Exeter, where they are notoriously favoured by the Bishop, without
some large and determined effort to provide for the due celebration of
the services of the Church, in connexion with the faithful ministry
of the Gospel, free from the control of the ecclesiastical ruler.
To provide then for those who have been driven from their paro-
Chia' edifices by the semi-popish teaching of the clergy, it haS been
felt needful to obtain ground in a central part of the city, on which
to erect a large and commodious church; the hall opened a few
months since in Fore-street having proved quite insufficient to ac-
commodate the numerous congregation.
Christ Church is now erecting in East Southernhay—one of the
best situations in Exeter, and on the borders of the two populous
parishes of St. Sidwell's and Trinity. It will be constructed to scat
1,400 persons ; four hundred of the sittings will be free. The cost of
the ground and building, with other expenses, will exceed 4,0001.
The friends of Protestant truth throughout the country are re-
spectfully Invited to sympathise with their brethren at Exeter, by
aiding with their contribu ions tLis spirited undertaking.
An opportunity is .thus Worded them, not only to strengthen the
hands of a small band, who, trusting in God, have commenced this
work, but to record their attachment to those principles which have
been esteemed the glory of Great Britain, and the distinguishing
excellence of her religious institutions.
Contributions for the Christ Church Building Fund will be received
for Henry Crofts, Esq., the Treasurer, at the City Bank, Exeter ; and
at Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co., Bankers, London.

took place at Herbert's Hotel, Bridge-street, Westminster.

further serious consideration.
