BEAUTIES OF THE ENeIlsH CHuRcH "Es-
rABIIsmIENr."-The English correspondent
of an exchange paper, says that Lord
SALISBURY, himself a sincere and zelous
member Of the established church, "a move.
ing the reading Of bill in the House Of
Lords, proposing a changei in certain church
matters, had occasion TO expose a shocking
state Of things, as existing in q very nu-
merous class Of benehces in the establish
ment. He stated, says the writer, that
there were very many liVings, the right of
presentations to which was exercised by
several hundreds, in some cases BY thou
sands Of the parishioners, and that the most
scandalous scenes were presented In such
cases, in almost every instance Of the ap-
pointment of a clergyman to a vacant bene--
6ce. Taking one case as an illustration 81
the general state Of things, he informed me
house, that, at the last appointment Of the
curacy Of the parish Of Bilstcn, Q regularly
contested election took place, which lasted
Eve days and at which 2l23 electors voted,
Every resident adult, male and female,
whether household or lodger. was entitled
to vote. Bribery was carried on as nm
blushingly as at a Parliamentary election
limited only by the means Of tho respective
candidates; and squibs, pasquinades, lam
poons and libels, were plaearded all over
the place, as freely as in the case Of con-
test for q scat in the House Of Commons.
The public houses were thrown open 70
all comers, at the cost Of the reverend can
didates for the cure Of souls; drunkenness
and rioting prevailed on all sidesj and
