way to over excited feelings; bat 1t was scarcely
ever our lot to witness such undenlable evidences
Of depression in the rougher sex, who one aud all
seemed 10 be overwhelmed with sad forebOdlngs
and TO think that this severe blow aimed at their
Church offered an occasion on which they might

Such are some OF the deep impressions which
the movement ia producing, The removal OF Mr.
Bennett was doubtless determined upon in the
Joint councils Of Lord John Russell and the shop
Of London, Nth the view. and in the hope Of ar
resting the movement. But it has had. and will
continue to have, quite contrary elect AS
Latmer said to Ridley at the stake, Be OF good
| cheer, brother, We shall kindle such torch In
England as | trust in God shall never be extin-

bas their convictions appear more confident now
than ever that an impression has been produced
! in favor Of the Catholic principles and rtualsm
| of the Church of England, of such depth and IN
| tepsty as never to be erased
The Bishops however, are taking steps 20 eX

in ConvocatiOn or in Synod they are content 70
assemble privately, not to say secretly, ana
| scheme how they may best obstruct movement
which threatens seriously To disturb their luxu'
riUUs case, their AristocrRtic pride, ana their
worldly convenience as State Bishops they
dare not venture to ask for a revision OF the
PRAYER Book, which, being the law OF the land,
would require the interpostion Of Parliament
and they know that TO once begin TO tamPer with
that Book there would DO no security for either
creeds, or sacraments, or rites. But they are
preparing, it is said to bind down the Clergy ut
they cam so tightly to the mere letter OF the Hu-
brio, as TO reduce the public services Of the
Church 20 the coolest and most meager form.
Such step will only serve to precipltate the
crisis and hasten that which Is now but too
plainly ioreseen-a rupture in the State Estab-
shment, aud the institution of Free Church. II.
