While it is not possible to estimate indicate even
approximately the value and influence of labors and
talents, and sanctlhed abilities devoted to the service
of Gods altar and the of souls, there are two
obvious and conspicuous monuments of Bishop REY-
NoLDss, with which his name must ever be connected
by the grateful memories of those who most keenly
feel his withdrawal by the dread mandate We need
scarcely say that we aude first to the editions of
Bishop ENGLAND's writings, compiled and arranged
labor of love and of duty by his successor, and
secondly, TO the Cathedral which has but lately been
completed, and which was the last object of and
Socitude that shared the personal attention of Bishop
REYNOLDS before the premonltory approaches of the
diseases which terminated his earthly life and suffer-
ings The access and progress of this last illness
were marked by constant and often very palms,
which endured with composed resignation.
The remains of Bishop REYNOLDS will repose in
vault adjoining that which contains the body of his
predecessor
The LONDON TIMES AND THE ENGLISH ARIsTOCRA-
CY.--The London Times the newspaporal demigod
of Engishmen, flushed with it's victory over the Alb
erdeen ministry and intoxicated with the applause it
has received, aspres to lead in and urge a vigor
Gus against the aristocracy Of England. Hear
what he says
"Our eyes are open, and we behold that we are
naked. We ask for talent sufficient to conduct great
affairs to successful conclusions and instead of talent
offered titles and pedigrees We ask for mer-
il, and we offered in exchange high connexions,
or, at best, seniority The cold shade of arlSocracy
is as aH and nothing can grow beneath it ex-
cept the ofshoo!s of the tree Itself"
After denouncing the manner in which the war
has been managed, and telling that the people Of
England coming to conclusions but little favora-
Bile 10 the stability of the present goVerning classes,
| it thus up the against tbs aristocracy:
| owe have been ready to allow place and patron
/ age TO be monopolized by few great families
| We have been content to live in country,
strangers TO government, excluded from
! the working Of Institutions, but it
! ly on condition that national pride should be
! respected, and interests and position in the
great family of nations remain inyiOlate. This our
aristocracy have failed to secure u.s. and therefore
the people of England will, we hope, demand, in no
spirit of wild and theoretical eveling, spirit of
hatred luminosity to any person Of the community,
but in the spirit of practical reform of urgent and
ntolerabe grievance, that the system which excludes
plebeian talent from high office shall henceforth be
discontinued, and that in the army at the desk, and
in the council, those shall be called to the rub
lie service who are best able to the public. We
wish all success to this movement
g 1t has been painful lot to witness more near
