The meeting yesterday at Willis s Rooms , to provide for the erection of a monument to the memory of Lieutenant Bellot was densely crowded . Sir Roderick Murchison performed his part as chairman with great taste and good feeling , enumerating in a cordial spirit the characteristic incidents in the young man ' s life , showing his daring and disinterestedness in the pursuit of science , and his obedience under orders . Sir James . Graham , moving the first resolution , heartily entered into the object of the meeting , and paid a noble tribute to the memory of the young hero . Sir James said , th ^ t when Captain Inglefield ' s expedition last year was determined on , Lieutenant Bellot applied to go as a volunteer , but as the complement of the ship was made up , Sir James declined his request .
. " Lieutenant Bellot pressed his application , notwithstanding my refusal in the first instance . Ho even sought to bring to bear upon me oflicial influence . Others seek favours in the shape of official in / lucnco , but the favour Lieutenant Bellot sought was only that he might be allowed again to enter a British & \\ i \) , to join British comrades , and to encounter the greatest dangers without any reward , nothing but honest fame being his ' object . ( Cheers . ) He actually persuaded the ^ French Ambassador , almost as a national favour , to aak that ho might , be permitted to go . ( ' Hear , ' and cheers . ) After such ; m application I laid the ease before Captain InglclicUl , who , along with his officers , said , ' By all means lot him come as our comrade ; we shall rejoice in his society . ' ( Cheers . ) Lieutenant
Bellofc said , ' Give mo but a plank to lie upon , and a corner in which to put . my clothes ; I ask no more' Captain Inglefield and his officers said , ' Let us havo him as our associate ; ' and I believe they abridged in sonio measure their own . accommodation in consequence , and that—except , the cabin of Captain lugloiiold—Liciul-onant Bellot , had the best , accommodation in the ship . JSfow , what was the conduct of Lieutenant Bullot under such circumstances ? What are the real characteristics of a distinguished naval officer ? I should sum them up tluiH ,- — - assiduity in the discharge ) of his duties ; gallantry in tho
hour ol' danger ; and obedience under command . What does Captain Ingletield report , of Lieutenant Bellot under all these heads ? With respect to assiduity , Captain Ingloliold says that . Lieutenant Bellot was an example to all on board the I'hamix . Late and early he was at his duty . The dip of the needle occupied bis attention by day ; tho ni g ht , ho devoted to Hoiont ilie observations . Such was bin example to tho British ollmn-s and ( sailors . With respect to his ^ allanlry , there nover was an occasion wlmn . danger wan to ho hmvod , or when difficult ies were to be ronfronted , on whitih he was not . a volunteer . ( Loud ehcem . )"

CHUKCH ANARCHY : DISMISSAL OF PROPESSOE , MAURICE . The profound disquietudes of the Church , of England again become apparent to the public gaze . Bishop is again protesting against bishop , and four archbishops against the unauthorized movements of their clergy . A notable Professor , one of the most subtle and eloquent of modern divines , has been ousted from his professorial chair for dangerous teaching , and low church organs are rampant at his fall . But a still better proof of the internal discords
of the state ecclesiastical establishment of Great Britain and Ireland is to be found in the Edinburgli JReview , itself the work of a clergyman . The writer , whoever he may be , is well acquainted with the anatomy of the " Church Parties" whom he undertakes to describe ; and he points out their characteristics with relentless fidelity , tem-Eered with toleration . He layi = f bare to us the tow , the High , and the Broad Church parties , and he subdivides these further by marking the extremes of each . He has no mercy on the depraving and jtidaizing tendency of _ , the jLow Church , of which the Jiiscord" is the fitting prophet ; he does not spare the Romanizing adherents of the High Church with their love of
gewgaws and gesticulation ; he settles down himself in the . -Broad Church , that medium ground where clever men of taste and culture take refuge from the iuroada of modem science * upon historical Christianity , and of modern ethics upon doctrinal beliefs . The writer settles down in the Broad Church after pleasantly discussing the others ; and having perused these descriptions , we feel more than ever tempted to ask , where is the boasted unity of the Chuvck of England ? Thero is abundant evidence in the article of an immense change from , the general apathy and low morality of tho Church in the laal century , to the vast activity and responsive perturbation of the Church in this . But as apathy was unity , so activity has . led to rliamrd .
In tho latter half of tho last century the Church was corru pt , without thought , without learning , without great men . . Education was neglected , charities were perverted , nepotism abounded , and many clergymen holding prelennenls openly professed a disbelief in the fundamental articles . But Wesley roused the Church , from its luxurious sleep , and making plentiful use of d ; i . immliou , rendered it essential that clergymen nhould feel , think , and believe ; Wi . H > er force , being the nimiHter ' H friend , turning his fervid gaze on great national biuh , made it ensential that they . should act ; education , . spreading among / lie laily , made
it lurther eMHonlial that clergymen . should be learned . Thought once * encouraged , ( . he change lrom . quiescence ( , < > activity once niadc , and the mere political and wportintf par . son . s once got rid of , the wide ( spread of education , the on . seLs of free though I ,, the influx of ( u'l-mau npeculation . s , threw the whole in . stitiil . ion into a ferment , which for the last thirty yearn hnn inereaHed . day by day . Churchmen ,. lil <<> the other intellectual clasNeN , were caught up and carried away by the Hpirit of the age . All men jvore oul , upon eptploringexpedilioiiH — in wiencejn history , in theology , inquiry could , | iot be evaded . Active minds and rentiers ni > iril . M abounded ; Home nought and . found
peace and wifely , with a not quite cany eoiiHcience perhaps , in H <; ionee ; Home were carried by their gloomy nnturen into what wo call evangelimu ; some thought and syllogized MioiwhoIvch back to ( Ho borders where old Anglican creeds and nya-I . ems touch upon the l-hh « part il . ions which divide them from KomaniHin , and some clanked through and became I .
