Church affairs , in one form or otto , liaf e been occupying public attention 5 the more prominently from the decline of interest in other ifenqtfr . Even Disraeli ' s demonstration on finance fades * before the Marquis of Blandford ' e motion on Churcfr Extenr sion ; the Protectionist leader and his subjects having Deen more used up than the evangelical son of the Duke of Marl borough . According to the received rule , Lord Bland ford ought to be well satisfied with 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 dignitariet enjoy princely' incomes ; and yet vast numbers of \ the People are de-• titute of spiritual ministration * . These f « ct » sue admitted , nay , the destitution s * unostentatiou sly proclaimed by the ftffends oi 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 Orey admits the facts , but objects to' do anything beyond the totally inadequate efforts of the Ecclesiastical Comin ' iKfjjon . With such servants , the Church of England , has a poor chance against the many rival aud 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 lijs Synod to resolutions in favour of more ceremonious observances , and a permanent order of Deacons . But , while Ministers yield with abject facility to the force of circumstances , the Bishop of kxet « r proceeds in his chosen course with a reckless (^ regard of circumstances ; neither of them meeting circumstance with mastery . A'hq »» me kind of contrast i » shown in the demounoiir of the two prelate * , Exeter and Lotwfcm , on a personal ptrint of discipline . The rector of Stepney having jiersevered in obstructing the preacher chosen by the ratepayers and sanctioned |> y the bishop , I > r . Biomfield ha » suddenly bolted * ' from t 6 e midst of thje content , by closing the c hurch . He has tbu » abdicated his proper function of nnorvi » tn # * nd controlling , and in"teud of protecting th « efficiency of the Church by "is aut hority , he ha » no far annihilated it for the njtepayen of Stepney . On the other hand , Dr . * nill | K ) tts l \ ty $ rejttQted another clergyman who holds heretical opinions on the doctrine of " proevenient grace . " a he Anglo * Italian Mission , ostensibly instituted to undertake the cure of souls among the Italians ll London , ludicrously estimated at 2000 in nurabc , i « noticed yy the English papers in a tone hover-ITown Edition . ]
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 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 ' s demonstration , in plain terms , amounts to nothing whatever : it was nothing more than a repeating of his old assertion that the limitation of the inconie 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 . Tfioaias 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 tip a Budget ; but on Chicory he is firm . The death of the Earl of Derby femoves a nobleman w&ose 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 . JFor 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 Laacelles , Comptroller of the Household , has scarcely any political bearing ; tliat of Mr , Dyce Sombre still less ; but humanity cannot part with long-familiar names and not breathe a 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 , and others , is one ; the Millers' league , which is extending itH 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 . One of their statements is enough to give us pause : they say that their connections are daily drawn away by foreign flour ;—¦ why ?—because foreign flour is cheaper ; and the rouHon of that is , that English corn-growers do not supply the native Millers with grain enough . According to this sign , agriculture ia positively
dei 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 it 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 L mis Napoleon contemplated this in his speech at Poitiers , when he said , " amid an explosion of bravos , " that the safety of France " will proceed from the will of the people , freely expressed and religiouslyaccepted . " We may expect , then , that in none cf 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 Thiera , on Monday night , as " eminent , " " able , " " experienced , " " a man of much authority , " shows how gratefully the sentences of the Historian of Napoleon fall upon the thirsty ears of our Protectionists . Thiera 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 . Thiera is an emphatic , speech-making sham—in short , a master on " the btump . " Apart from France , Continental news presents no striking topics of interest . Political persecution indeed progresses in the German States . The jabbering mummy at Frankfort—the German Diet—continue ** to make frantic though feeble efforts to persuade the world that it i « a living body , and not an eccentric , extinct institution . The Prussian Ministry , beaten by the opposition , withdrawn the decree reestablishing the feudal provincial diets , upon the understanding that the question of theirj 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 tho West indies , and the enormous conflagration at San Francisco (( ho fifth within a twelvemonth ) , are the most striking calamities . The . fatal boiler explosion at Liverpool station looks as if it might prove more than an " accident . " The riot ia UathkcaK ; n-orkh ;> . ise , ngniutfi a k >> v dietary , and the feud at Liverpool between the
