All these new bishops would have larger charges than
the bishop of the united see of Bangor and St. Asaph.
Cons quently, we are not able to consent to the conti-
nuance of two bishops in that little corner of the island,
until t ese larger wants have been first attended to.

Now, for this addition to the episcopacy, we neither
ask additional revenues nor additional seats in Parliament.
Most High Churchmen are now quite prepared to abandon
all claim to either. It is not long since we read, in a
journal professing very High Church Principle,:, a pro-
position for 40 bishops, with incomes of £3OOO each, and
the 40 to elect 10 (besides the archbishops) to sit in Par-
liament; these 10 having n further allowance, for town
expenses, of £lOOO a.year for each. It is clear, that the
present revenues of the bishops would suffice to defray
the whole of this charge.
Now we believe a plan of this kind would be received
by all classes of churchmen with delight; and that any
Governmen. would have earned endless fame by proposing
such a reform.

Meanwhile, we must once more earnestly deprecate
any retrograde movement.

The act of 1836 provided for a bishop of Manchester.
We now look for the fulfilment of that expectation. And
we trust that any individual who stands between the
country and the realisation of this hope, wi!l at least ex-
plain, very distinctly, exactly how and when, upon some
new plan—and that within a few months—the bishopric
of Manchester is to be. constituted.

MONEY MARBET-SATURDAY NIGHT.--Consols
closed a shade better than they opened. The amount of
business was limited in the extreme, and long before the
markets shut meat of the dealers had left for the day.
The inactivity of the speculators continues the theme of
general complaint. Consols left off this afternoon 95/ to
for money, and 95/ to 1 for the account. Bank Stock
was done for the account at 2101. Exchtqutr-bills
brought a rather higher premium to-day, and were quoted
12s• to 15s. pm. The latest bargains in the foreign mar-
ket this afternoon were—Brazilian Five per cents, at ;
the New Bonds at 66 ; Ecuador, at 3 • Mexican for the
account, at 24/ and 25 ; Peruvian, at 37 ; Spanish Five
per Cents, at 26/- ' • the Three per Cents for the account,
at 3(4 and 37k •, Venezuela, for the account, at 421 ;
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 971 ; and Dutch
Four per Cents., Certificates, at 95. Money is in fair de-
mand to-day on commerc'al paper, without being in any
degree scarce. Nominally, the rate fixed by the discount
houses for first-class pauer is 3 per cent., that being the
minimum rate of the Bank of England, but really it would
he hard to obtain accommodation under 31. On the
Stock-Exchange money is easy.

THE DAGENHAM MURDER.—The wife of Serjeant
Parsons, against whom charges were made of being in
some way implicated in this horrid affair, has died under
melancholy circumstances. She had been recently con-
fined, and it is supposed that the particulars connected
with the melancholy event had such an effect upon her
feelings as to accelerate her death. It is stated that there
has been a meeting of the several heads of divisions of the
police at Scotland-yard, for the purpose of devising the
best means of discovering the murderer or murderers of
tha unfortunate man Clarke. The result of that meeting
is, the proposition of enlarging the amount of the reward
for the discoverer of the murderer from £lOO to £aoo ;
that us the police feel that a certain odium has been cast
upon the force generally by the non.discovery of the
murderer, they propose to raise by voluntary snbscrip_
tions amongst themselves the other £4OO, in order that
the perpetrator may be brought to justice, and that the
scale of subscriptions from constables, inspectors "
ohn i will be settled by the heads• of division- 90--

RAILWAY METROPOLITAN TERIIINI.—The novel sight
will soon be witnessed of many hundreds of men em-
ployed in the very heart of London in the construction of a
railway. The London and South-Western Company have
now got possession of nearly all the property necessary for
the extension of their line to Hungerford Bridge, and the
most active preparations are making for commencing the
construction of the works without delay. There will be a
magnificent station at Hungerford Bridge. The extent and
style of the erection may be inferred from the fact that
its cost will exceed £lOO,OOO. The expenses of con-
structing the extension line from Nine Elms to Hun-
gerford Bridge, including the purchase of property, will
not, it '

is suppofed, be under £600.000, making, with ti
station, £700,000, or the enormous sum of
