ALondon correspondent Of the W. c. Ad-
poeats in speaking Of the late general cleo
ton, reveals new feature which, he thinks,
had very material il not controlling infu-
ence in producing the result. He says:
"Perhaps there never was general cleo
ton in England so extensively influenced by
religious views as the one now closed. The
bishops Of the Established Church IRE chosen
by the Government for the time being; anu
it has so happened, that since Lord paimer-
ton has been in power there / ~ been nm I'M
usual number OF vacancies, from deaths and
designations, in the episcopal bench. This
has thrown into the prime minister's hands n
yery large amount of ecclesiastical influence,
which he has employedto the discontinue of
the High Church party. Evangelical Church
ism 10 now in favor with the court and the
Government. This 10 not ~ it formerly was.
The slow Churchman," who could fraser-
nine with his dissenting brethren, and extend
the right hand of fellowship to all who love
the Lord Jesus, was formerly an nnfnshion-
able character; whereas at present he basks
in the sunshine of regal and conrtly favor
The old High Church party, who Tor ages
| have been accustomed to consider themselves
as the elite of the countrywide have been
accustomed TO look down with self-compla-
cent contempt, not only upon all dissenters,
1 but upon their Sow brethren, are conf ounded
and exasperated at this unpleasant turn IN
/ their affairs and, with the Earl OF Derby At
their head, have strained every nerve to Sc
cure the overthrow Of the liberal PREMIER
1 A. great deal OF the oratory about the butch
cry and injustice perpetrated at Canton has
been prompted in this way; not that the par
ties cared much about the Chinese, but they
thought they had handle against the man
who has so ANONYMOUSLY put them out OF
court. They have not succeeded. Lord
Palmerston retains a large majority in the
new Parliament. Aud now another bishop
has resigned, the Bishop OF Norwich and a
! thorough going evangelical liberal, MIR. Pei
ham, is to be consecrated in his place.
The result Of these things 10, that the Es-
tabished Church is becoming more and more
a divided body. The semi.Popish party,
though they have far less Of popular enthu-
sasm on their side, command q great pro-
portion Of the educated and the wealthy; and
the inquiry is now made by stranger, as a
matter Of course, in regard to any OF then
places Of worship. Is it High Church or
Low Church, Is it an evangelical or trac.
tartan clergyman? The two parties will not
associate together. The breach between
them grows wider than ever, 1t is very com.
monty stated in evangelical journals that the
Churches where there is evangelical preach.
ing are crowded, while the Puseyite churches
are half empty. This, however, does not
accord with our own observation. The Pu'
seyite churches are quite as much crowded
upon the whole, a. the evangelical; but ther
they nre not nearly SO numerous.

G. Governor Robson, in speech lately
delivered by him, denounced Brown, the edi-
tor Of the Herald Of Freedom, as u traitor
TO the cause, and utterly unworthy the conf
dence Of the Free State men of the country.
Brown rejoins through the papers. We infer
that public opinion in Kansas is with Cover
nor Robson and that Brown, notwithstand-
ing his unconquerable perseverance, will
lose the influence which he has hitherto ex-
ertea over Free State sentiment, and The
power which he has had in their councils.
