Church Affair3, In One Form Or Other, Ha...
Church affair 3 , in one form or other , have been occupying public attention ; the more prominently from the decline of interest in other things . Even Disraeli ' s demonstration on finance fades before the Marquis of Blandford's motion on Church Extension ; the Protectionist leader and his subjects having been more used up than the evangelical son of the I ^ uke of Maryborough . According to the received . * ule , Lord Blandford ought to be well satisfied vt ^ ith the attention which he gained ; but the bitterest enemy of 'the Church could' not desire a more damaging exhibition than the debate of Tuesday night . The Church of England professes to be the national Church ; it possesses enormous revenues ; its dignitaries enjoy princely incomes ; and yet vast numbers of the People are destitute of spiritual ministrations . These facts are admitted , nay , the destitution is unostentatiously proclaimed by the friends of the Church ; and yet , when Lord Blandford proposes an address to the Crown , asking- for suitable measures , and especially for an extension of the parochial system , Sir George Grey admits the facts , but objects to do anything beyond the totally inadequate ciforts of the Ecclesiastical Commission . With such servants , the Church of England has a poor chance against the many rival and hostile influences which beset it , and which are gradually rendering its pretensions to be deemed national a transparent delusion . The Bishop of Exeter has acted more manfully in his own diocese , and has obtained the sanction of hia Synod to resolutions in favour of more ceremonious observances , and a permanent order of Deacons . But , while Ministers yield with abject facilit y to the force of circumstances , the Bishop of hxeter proceeds in his chosen course with a reckless disregard of circumstances ; neither of them meeting circumstance with mastery . The same kind of contrast is shown in the demeanour of the two prelates , Kxeter and London , <> u a personal point of discipline . The rector of Stepney having persevered in obstructing the preac her chosen by the ratepayers and sanctioned !| 7 the bishop , Dr . Blomfield has suddenly bolted '" from the midst of the contest , by closing the church . Ho has thus abdicated his proper lunetum of supervising and controlling , and in-Htcacl of protecting the efliciency of the Church by ins autliont y , he has ho far annihilated it for the ratepayers of Stepney . On the other hand , Dr . » nillpotts has rejected another clergyman who holds Heretica l opinions on the doctrine of " prwvcnieiit , grace . " ' I'll' -Anglo-Italian Mission , ostensibly instituted < <<> undertake the euro of souls among the Italians i »» Jjondon , ludicrously estimated at 2000 in num- i "i'r , is noticed by the English papers in a tone hover-[ CouNTi ' . Y Edition . I
ing between derision and apprehension . The Italians in London comprise three classes not likely to offer a very profitable field for missionary labours—the cosmopolitan artist class , travelled Italians brought hither by their English sympathies , and political j refugees . If the Minucci mission has any effect , it will probably be upon English admirers ; for Italian sermons are sometimes most impressive upon those who least understand the melodious flood . No Papal Aggression can be half so destructive to the Establishment or to Protestantism as the bigotries , the dissensions , the material " interests , " and the wholesale neglects , which it
is our weekly duty , to notice . Mr . Disraeli ¦» demonstration , in plain iterms , imiqunts to nothing whatever : it was nothing tndre than a repeating of his old assertion that the limitation of the income tax to one year has rendered the whole Ministerial scheme of Finance a new one : whereupon he poured forth a new edition of his criticisms , enlarged and emended . Sir Charles Wood counter-criticized , and a debate arose , but it was all smoke . So was Mr . Thomas Baring ' s new attempt to revoke Sir Charles Wood ' s Chicory licensingorder : chicory is now one of the institutions of the country by which the Whig Ministers stand or fall . Lord John submits to alterations of the Anti-Papal Bill , he is evidently prepared to surrender the Water Bill , he has given up a Budget ; but on Chicory he is firm .
The death 01 the Earl of Derby removes a nobleman whose feeble health had long withheld him from political activity ; it brings to Lord Stanley his full title , but otherwise it causes no difference , as the present Earl had already been called to the Upper House . For the time , indeed , it impedes him in taking up the affairs of the Cape ; a severe disappointment to the friends of that colony . The death of the Right Honourable William Lascelles , Comptroller of the Household , has scarcely any political bearing ; that of Mr . Dyce Sombre still less ; but humanity cannot part with long-familiar names and not breathe n regret for merit underrated or harshnesses overdrawn . Illustrations of unsatisfactory working in the Competitive system , as it operates upon practical men , are daily multiplied . The meeting of Authors , Publishers , und others , is one ; the . Millers' league , which is extending itc * activity , is another : the Publishers deprecate the holding of copyright by foreigners in this country ; the Millers deprecate the admission of ground corn into this country , and call for a duty on foreign flour , to keep their mills in full work . Ouo of their statements is enough to give us pause : they say that their connections arc daily drawn away by foreign Hour ;—why ?—because foreign Hour is cheaper ; and tho reason of that is , that English corn-growers do not supply the native Millers with grain enough . According lo Hum sign , agriculture h positively < K ' -
j dining , and the country is becoming visibly dependent on the foreigner for its food . The fate of the Revision movement in France is | decided . High authority declares it to be "impos' sible "; the Republicans will certainly not support if ; without the repeal of the law of the 31 st of May ; and therefore , naturally enough , the Bonapartists , driven from the outworks of revision , entrench themselves in what they deem their stronghold—the demand for the prolongation of the powers of the President . Evidently Louis Napoleon contemplated this in his speech at Poitiers , when he said , " amid an explosion of bravos , " 4 Ur . r * l % ~ nitfaMnf Pmnnil tf xxr ' tW *\ m (* f * f > r \ fi-niYl f } l « J *
: tlUail bMC ; OClX ^ bY XJM . . taill / U « »** ,. £# * v * ww ^» » v « . » v . «~ will of the people , ireely expressed and religiously accepted . " Wemay expect , then , that in none of the anticipated modes will the " solution / ' pacific or violent , be worked out : 1852 has yet to unfold its own story . Notably among the events of the week , the Freetrade debate in the French Chamber attracts the greatest attention . M . Thiers pitted against M . de Sainte Beuve , with Frenchmen for his audience , of course carries away all the praise , and nearly all the votes , though a respectable minority of 199 to 424 voted for Free-trade . The object of the speech was obvious . It was a skilful investment of oratorical talent to make political capital . M . Thiers spoke at the Left in general , and the Socialists in particular . Its effect in other quarters is also obvious . Disraeli complimenting Thiers , on Monday
, night , as " eminent , " able , " experienced , " a man of much authority , " shows how gratefully the sentences of the Historian of Napoleon fall upon < he thirsty ears of our Protectionists . 'J'hiers professing Protection is not a sign that Thiers is a Protectionist , but a sign that France is Protectionist . The day may not be distant when Thiers will equally profess Socialism , and yet not be a Socialist . Tliiers is an emphatic , speech-making sham—in short , a master on " the stump . " Apart from France , Continental news presents no striking topics of interest . Political persecution indeed progresses in t lie German States . The jabbering mummy at Frankfort—the German Diet—continues to make frantic though leeble efforts to persuade the world that it is a livingbody , and not an eccentric , extinct institution . The Prussian Ministry , beaten by the opposition , withdraws the decree reesUiMishing- the feudal provincial diets , upon the understanding that the question of thcirj revival will be submitted to the assembly . The news of the week in copious in crimes and adversities , abroad and at home . The cholera breaking out in the West Indies , and the enormous conflagration at . San Francisco ( ilie wflli within n twelvemonth ) , are ( he most , striking calamities . The fatal boiler explosion at Liverpool station looks ns if it might prove more than an " accident . " The riot in lt : it hkcalc workhouse , against a low dietary , and llu" IWid at Liverpool bihm-n liie .
