THE BISHOP OF JERUSALEM

(From the Morning Herald.)
The triumph of the British arms on the coast of Syria,
whilst it confounded the projects of the French revolution-
ary party, carried dismay into the hearts of those whose re-
ligious interests in that country were bound up with the
fortunes of the tri-coloured flag ; and thus it was that our
ships of war, whilst sailing along the coast, beheld that flag
hoisted, as in defiance, from the wall of every convent of the
Latin church. They were impotent to resist us, but they
could not repress this ebullition of hostility and hatred.
The war ended, what were our political and religious ene-
mies then to do? Were their original projects to be re-
nounced and blasted ? And were they tamely to look on,
whilst the Protestant Sovereigns of the league, which had
saved Turkey from destruction, anxiously betook themselves
to the discharge of a long-neglected duty ? These Sovereigns
felt deeply the reproach that, whilst the Holy City abounded
in splendid and pompous instances of the worship of corrupt
Christian churches, not one edifice had been suffered, not
even attempted, to be raised, where the pure truths of the
Gospel could be proclaimed to the faithful followers of the
Redeemer, whom those Sovereigns were bound to protect in
the exercise of their religion ; and hence arose the project
desired by his Prussian Majesty, and earnestly supported by
this British Government, for establishing a bishopric of the
Anglican church at Jerusalem ; and it was equally an act of
sound worldly policy, and of religious duty, which England
performed, in affording her fullest countenance and support
to the establishment of an Anglican prelacy in that city, in
whose fate, be it in whatever hands, the hearts of the Chris-
tian will ever be bound up by the strongest ties, and in
whose destinies some of the dearest and holiest of his hopes
are involved.
It is plain that these things have made the most profound
impression upon our inveterate political and religious foes.
In the field of war they could not meet us ,• but one re-
mained opened to them, and closed to us ; and thence they
have incessantly and earnestly carried on an hostility entirely
their own ; they have had recourse to falsehood and fabrica-
tion, with so merciless an industry, that it might be supposed
to have nearly exhausted itself, but they are actually now
giving a new currency to lies which were exploded some two
or three months ago. The Jesuit party at Paris appears
'from recent accounts to be the chief actors in this most
active conspiracy, for it is one which has ever shown itself
to be " Grsecis mendacior ipsis." The splendid entry of the
bishop into Jerusalem, under the protection of British au-
thority, and the marked sanction and countenance of the
supreme local government, at once controverted this predic-
tions of his disgrace and rejection which had abounded in
Paris and Jerusalem, and it proved the decided influence of
the British government. No one could dream of a Mussul-
man's interest in a success, in which neither his feelings or
faith could, to say the least, partake. The lies, therefore, to
be useful, must be anti-British and anti-Protestant; and
thus it is that we were first assured, " inter alia," that the
bishop was subject to gross insults, and pelted in the streets
of Jerusalem, whilst preaching in the open air; and now we
hear that the American Protestant missionaries are driven
out of Syria by persecution, that an Albanian soldier has
publicly attempted the life of Colonel Rose, the consul-gene-
ral, and has remained undetected and unpunished by his
superiors ; and as
" The reptile's at his dirty work again."
but, as it appears, with somewhat exhausted imagination,
the lapidation-lie is revived, and we are assured that Bishop
Alexander " walks the streets of Jerusalem under a shower
of stones ;" and in order to freshen up the falsehood, a new
motive for the old outrage is assigned : they say that " the
inhabitants of Palestine are shocked at the sight of a bishop
having a wife under his arm.
NN e took the trouble a few days since to show, that, of all
the various classes of these inhabitants, the European Ro-
manist alone would be so scandalised ; and the fabrication
lies necessarily at his door. But the Americans are uninter-
rupted; but Colonel Rose has not been shot at; but Bishop
Alexander has not been stoned ; had he been, we know to-
lerably well at whose feet " the witnesses would have laid
down their clothes." We then cited the authorities of re-
cent date, on which we gave the contradiction to such asser-
tions ; but we can now state that Bishop Alexander, advert-
ing to the strange and fabricated reports, which he had just
learned to have been circulated in Europe respecting himself
and his mission, tells his friends, in a letter of the 12th May,
that there " is not a shadow of truth in the allegations ; that
he has never preached in the open air, and that hitherto he
has experienced nothing but respect and kindness ;"—that
they are " going on regularly, pursuing their course of duty;
and that he must say that they have everything to encourage
them."
We learn from indisputable authority in Syria, that the
project devised against the bishop was, to terrify him into
bolting—to use that familiar but expressive word—to cause
him to abdicate under insult and alarm, and to shame our
state and church with his flight.

TILE OXFORD AND CAMORIDGE BOAT-RACE.—This
much looked for contest came off on the Thames on Saturday.
Mr. E. Searle started the gentlemen at 17 minutes to 4.
They both caught the signal at the same moment, and after
half a dozen strokes on both sides, the boats dashed through
the water as evenly as we ever remember to have seen a start
Off the Speaker's House the Cambridge crew had drawn the
head of their boat about a foot in advance of their opponents,
and facing the Horseferry increased it about two more.
At Chandler's (the Ship) the Oxfords boat-head was as near
as possible on a level with their adversaries main thwart,
but on the discharge of some cannon the xonion at the
moment picked up their boat as though it had suddenly been
propelled by the wadding, and went up to their adversaries.
For about a quarter of a minute they were oar and oar, and
then the Oxonians gradually gained on their adversaries
passing through Vauxhall-bridge a length and a half in ad-
vance. Five minutes after the start, off where the Spread
Eagle used to stand, the Cantabs brought, their boat up
within a yard of their opponents stern and made as it were
to dash inside of them, but could not succeed in getting any
nearer, three or four powerful strokes on the part of the
Oxonians taking her further away. At the Red-house the
Oxonians were about three lengths a-head, and at I3uttersea-
bridge a trflle more (17 minutes from the time of starting).
In Wandsworth-reach the race was renewed with fresh vigour
but despite the most powerful efforts on the part of the
Cantabs, the Oxonians won by about three lengths. The
time in which the distance was rowed was thirty minutes
ten seconds. The winners and losers were both greeted
with loud and deafening cheers.

The supply of Beasts was very moderate, but of superior quality,
and owing to the attendance of dealers the trade was •father dull
at barely Monday's quotations. The fresh arrivals from Scotland
comprise only 43 Scots. We have had a large number of Sheep,
yet the demand for them.was fair at unaltered rates. About 10u
lambs came to hand from the Isle of Wight, while the lamb trade
was dull, and previous rates were hardly maintained. Calves were
iu large supply and sluggish demand, at last week's currencies.
In pigs exceeding little was doing. Mulch cows were selling at
from £l6 to £2O as each.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, JUNE 11

Although rain is now much wanted, no injury has yet been
stained in this district by its absence : and the continuance, since
r last, of fine hot weather, such as we have not seen for years,

tv'EltrooL coitiv

VICHANCIS, JurcE 10.7
Thear&iiiico-aitwise and from Ireland remain perfectly
...significant, and from abroad we have merely to announce
5,326 qrs. of Wheat, having received no other Grain, nor any
Flour thence into this port since our advice of Tuesday last.
Anticipating lower duties, the millers and dealers, as
gards free foreign Wheat and Flour, have been very inactive
from Tuesday's market until to-day ; these expectations are
now partly confirmed by a decline in the import rates, upon
the former to Hs. per qr., and on the latter to Gs. 7-Id. per
barrel ; those upon all other produce remaining precisely the
same as last week. Meanwhile parcels have continued to be
occasionally released from bond as sales could be effected to
consumers, and for shipment to Ireland, which, affording a
regular supply for the requirements of the trade, have kept
the prices tolerably steady. In other free articles, during
the same period, the transactions have been moderate, with
little variation from the terms last noted.

In consequence of the continuance of fine weather, and an
almost total absence of country millers at our Corn Exchange
this morning, the sales of all sorts of free Wheat, even of a
retail character, were so nearly impracticable as to render
prices little more than nominal: in this state of depression
no accurate quotations can be given further than that had
buyers appeared, somewhat lower terms would have been
readily accepted.
Flour, also, was generally very difficult to sell and rather
cheaper.
Grinding Barley moved off moderately at a small advance.
—Malt dull at late prices.—Free Beans and Pease in limited
request at our last currency.
Oats and Indian Corn, with less inquiry than before, re-
mained stationary in value.

Oatmeal, upon a temporary suspension of demand for Ire-
land, and very little for consumption, merely sustained our
last quotations.
Bonded Wheat having met little enquiry, only two parcels
have been sold since Tuesday, at nearly former prices. No
sales of Flour, except in retail, for export. 1,500 to 2,000
quarters of Pease have changed hands within the same time,
at 325. to 325. 6d. the quarter, and 8,000 to 10,000 quarters
Egyptian Beans at 21s. to 21s. 6d. per 4801hs.
