LONDON-
SATURDAY, JANUARY 2;',, 1842.

We were quite sure that the pro-Puseyite
Post and the pro-Puseyite Times would exhibit
no anger at Sir ROBERT PEEL giving the Bishop-
ric of Chichester to the most conspicuous anti-
Puseyite of the moment. Those slaves swallow
the Premier's little pudding of patronage, and
hold their tongues. The weakness of the Tory
cause, despite the much-boasted of majority in
Parliament, forbids them expressing their
feelings. They dare not say what they think.
On the contrary, both of them have written
puling apologies for Sir ROBERT, and both have
discovered that the language of the " Tracts"
sometimes passes the bounds of strict propriety
and moderation. We expected something of this
kind, and are not deceived.
Some remarks in the Times yesterday are
worthy of special consideration, as a proof that
the Church, of which that Journal once pro-
perly said we had, too much, is still regarded by
it as unwort_lay of the high esteem, and theenor-
mous -.ltun demanded for it, of the public. Ther.
-ean be no question that the clergy of the Church
of England are the richest clergy now in the
world ; and no question that their income, sinct•
the Revolution 0f.1658, has increased much !nor(
in proportion than the population. This has no:
been more than three-fold multiplied ; the in-
come of the" priesthood has been increased to
least six-fold, and ought now to be amply suffi-
cient, if duly distributed according to the work
to be done, instead of making Princes of tin
Bishops and Archbishops, to provide religietu
instruction for twice the amount of our pieced-rt
population. The Times, however, tells the pub-
lic " that our population, our manufacturing
towns above all, have frightfully out-grown tht
means of instruction and improvement which
have been provided for them." It also says, that
in the ordinary state of things—that is, with vast
revenues devoted to maintain spiritual Peers and
their accessories—this evil "is not to be mete •
The ordinary course of , things provid,e for no-
thing but itself." The Puseyite ::onclusion im-
plied is, that the inefficient 'aurch ought to bi
reformed, as we say, to 'make it answer its in-
tended purpose.
By what meats is it to be reformed ? "By what are ordinarily depreciated," says the Times,
"as enthusiasm , and enthusiasts." Nothing,
however, is more abhorrent to the Church that;
enthusiasm; on this account she rejected Jonx
WESLEY, and has expelled from her bosom ever)
man who would not conform to the slothful er-
rors which time had consecrated as most useful
to the ease and luxury-loving parsons. The
Puseyites, according to the Times, have beet, roused up, and endowed with all kinds of talent,
expressly to meet the religious wants of the com-
munity, and make the Church the instruaneet
of spreading happiness and virtue throughout
the laud.
" We suddenly discover ourselves," says the Times,
"to be under the responsibility of educating—rather, per-
haps, of converting, a crowded and unmanageable po-
pulation ; as suddenly we find in our hands what hat.,
every appearance of being an instrument for our very
need--a tone of feeling, growing with incredible rapidity
—penetrating with unaccountable successinto the most un-
expected quarters-- sanguine—vigorous—concentrated,
yet versatile—only eager for employment, and invit-
ing friendly guidance from its superiors."
So our Puseyite Contemporary describes the
men whom the Tory Standard and the Herald
are daily and nightly stigmatising with all kinds
of slanderous epithets ; and how does the Puseyite
in turn describe his opponents. He is in the
minority, he, is oppos6d to the Premier, and, there-
fore, bq, is more gentle; but still he lets out a
littl, td his gall, and thus accuses the anti-
,-- - .
tuseyttes of superstition :—" The extreme oppo-
nents," he says, " of the Puseyites, do not hesi-
tate to ascribe in so many words their succea
to the direct agency of the Devil." ig They An.
exceedingly noisy and influential," and they
greet the holy Puseyites, When they are most
successful, by a cry of " Turn them out." What
a description of the GOLIGHTLYS arid other
Evangelical parsons! They are compared to tlu
ignorant, envious mob of a theatre, who
hiss a person off the stage whose perform-
ante they do not like, and they are accused ol
wishing to get rid of their pious brethren by
.forcible • ejectment. The poor Puseyites, who
are now in a minority, must submit to be accused
by their holy brethren to be of the Devil
devilish, but when they get the upper hand, as
they will if the Times be correct in ascribing to
them great talents and unlooked for success, we
know, from the manner in which the Puseyites
treated Dr. HAMPDEN, that they will pay off tilt
Evangelicals in harder coin than their own.
We do not conceal our great pleasure at find-
ing the men who aim at establishing a spiritual
dominion over the people, and who seek on all
occasions to set themselves above the law, when
they cannot make the law an instrument to
serve their selfish purposes, thus wrangling
amongst themselves, and exhibiting their true
character' to the public. If they had a heartfelt
conviction of the truth of their doctrines, and if
they had no purpose of worldly aggrandizement
to serve, they would rely, as all other men do
who are thoroughly convinced of the truth of
what they teach, on time to secure its dominion
over the hearts of their fellow men. But what
the Puseyites seek, and what the Evangelicals
seek, is personal aggrandizement, and to that
the truth or falsehood of what they teach is a
secondary consideration. They wrangle which
of the parties shall have most Church prefer-
ment, and their quarrels can but be advanta-
0-eous to the public.

The meeting at Birmingham, With whose opi-
nions we are happy to see our own coincide, de-
clared itself favourable to testing of the Members
of the House of Commons on the total and im-
mediate abolition of the Corn•laws; and it
passed a resolution recommending the Deputies
of the League, who are to assemble i❑ London
on the Bth, to adopt measures to that effect. In
a circular issued by the League, it is said " The
I cause in which we are engaged, as advocates for
the abolition ofall restrictions on commerce, and
all monopolies in food, has advanced during the
ast nine months with unprecedented rapidity."
The League admits, and glories in the admission,
lthat this great success has been mainly owing
to the support given to the good cause by the
ministers of religion, and to the high principles

-Is no important news in the Paris Jour-
, 0.21 s of Thursday. A squabble which took place
all in the Chamber of Deputies on the previous day
relative to the Census, occupies a considerable
portion of their leading columns, M. LESTIBOU-
Dm having proposed an amendment upon the
Census paragraph in the Address, the Minister
DUCHATEL ascended the tribune for the purpose
of showing how comparatively pop ular the mea-
sure was. Ofcourse so matter-of-fact a Minister
was expected to demonstrate his facts by COCKER
or DILWORTH, and M. DUCHATEL, whose notions
of correctness are always arithmetical, produced
his returns. M. DUSSOLIER, an Opposition Deputy,
thought such reasoning might be unsound, and
asked permission to quote an instance. The
Chamber readily, the President permissively,
and M. DUCHATEL from the tribune smilingly,
granted it. Thus encouraged, M. DUSSOLIER
made his way to the tribune, ascended the
steps, and only bezan to clear his throat for an
oration, when lie found himself cheek by jowl
with the Minister. He knew one municipality,
he said, where the majority were opposed to the
census; but where a contrary report had been
made to the Minister, he at once ordered five
hundred francs to be given to the hospital of the.
town, to reconcile the inhabitants to the report
made to the Government. The bribe was not
great certainly, but then we suppose the muni-
cipality was very small, and the hospital
funds exceedingly low. M. DUCHATEL pro-
tested that he had no recollection of the
circumstance, possibly because he had been
engaged in so many where larger bribes
were distributed. But M. DUSSOLIER saw that
he had created a diversion in favour of his party,
and proceeded to follow it up. The Ministerial-
ists, dreading fresh revelations, were furious.
They shouted " order," and commanded him to
withdraw from the tribune, that the Minister
might finish his speech. The President shouted
iu chorus, rang his bell, and looked as nervous
as if he was under the influence of a third
bottle of Burgundy. M. DUCHATEL looked
daggers at his companion in the tribune; but
M. DUSSOLIER being one of that class of legis-
lators who are fonder of exercising their lungs
than their sensibilities,' only shouted the louder,
and appeared to, enjoy the raging of the
tempest he had raised. At last the Pre-
sident lost his temper, and in so doing
made a rush at his hat. Thumping it
down upon his head, he cast a wither-
ing look upon the stentor in the tribune,
and darted out of the Chamber. After him
scampered the Deputies, like so many school-
boys, so ,that the Minister and the orator were
left alone in the Tribune. The, whole scene
was richly farcical, beating, altogether, every-
thing in the shape of pantomime at the
London theatres. In a quarter of an hour
the President's passion cooled, and the tribune
being empty, the discussion was resumed, and
immediately afterwards adjourned over tin
Thursday. It was then again resumed, and con-
tinned up to post hour without a division.
It appears that the two French corvettes which sailed
a short time since from Toulon, and were said to be des.
fried for New Zealand, are carrying out the troops which
embarked on board them to the West Indies, where they
are to reinforce the garrisons. These ships were at Al-.
gesiras on the -9th inst.
