Wea 8 ure . advanced . ;; to ;} ithei- stage' of . second reading , but postponed for Ministerial deliberation , is Mr . Gladstone ' s Colonial Bishops Bill . It has excited much interest , and a degree of distrust $ iat can only exist by favour of misunderatanding . A cpntenapprary attacks the ; measure , as one ; to copfer privileges on the , clergy of the Church of Engkuid in the colonies ; , it does no such thing , but only enables the members ¦• of the Church of England to regulate 11 their own affairs by synodical action amongst ; themselves .

It is not known what courserftei will . tajte : ^ we only observe that He asks for time ' to thiiik ajbout it , and he is un ^ fstoiid to belong to the jpow ^ hurch party . 1 ^ ep ^ rty in the Cnurch who advocate the . revival of synodicftl action ^ hjiv ^ held another meeting —Gloucester being the * appointed scene . Therewere a good number of ^ clergy , and some men of station among the laity present ; , but the proceedings are not likely to raise the character of th , e movement , ^ ere was' a want of . decision ^ n meeting an op ' pbsit ^ n ' got up by the Low Church party ; and a weakness of purpose in the chairman which is Mahicntable . ' The conference compares unfavourably wilth its predecessors , not

Qbviously , the tactics of the Convocationrparty . areutofcdiurt opposition , or at . least \ o make . the rao & l ^ of , it when it ^ mes ^ their w . ay ^ ln ^ tesLd : of u fl ^ n ^ beforB it . j ^ e ^ maaf well ^ j ^ Q f't ^ ecl'jfchat ? oppositi on is thei r rjogpl ^ ui ^ jgl j ^^| aid > u ] ftm at they will never suc-[ te & frk VriiQ S ! * - they are vigilant to let slip no chance L for djacussioii .

Lord Jolip Manners indiscreetly confessed the real motive of hostility to the present building . It is an invasion of Hyde ; Park—sylvan retreat of-Fashion , The , Birmingham cricketer would have WO objection to tne building at Battersea ! And 8 . 0 , to ^ keep public faith and protect the sacred bmt Rotten-row , 2 ^ 1 to 103 refuse even an inquiry . : r "jhe : Amalgamated Epgitieers have issued a final manifesto , annpuncing that they abandon their hostile resistance to the Employers , and that they shall in future concentrate their efforts for the protection of labour on self-employment . The employers have beaten by force of greater wealth ; At the last , as at the first , the men preserve' to themselves a monopoly of manly . moderation and candour . Even-their old opponent , the Times , has recently espoused their . cause , and , has advised ' the masters to withdraw their tyrannical declaration : it has not yet been withdrawn . Meanwhile , however , ; the men have given voice to the claims of labpur , in a way which h as excited the attention and ; the respect of many whose convictions were worth winning ; anjil if we mistake not , the events of the last few months will not be without a reflex in the acts of the Legishvture . Amongst recent adherenta to the cause , we inust now reckon the Edinburgh Jtteviewt which advocates an improved law of partnership , and gives utterance to deqlara- r tions that the object of working associations is " perfectly legitimate , " th ^ at , they "Reserve the protection of the law , * ' that the principle of association , " unquestionably a mighty and prolific one /' . " may be among the most powerful influences now at worVfor the education of the workingclasses . " And the sacrifices made * by the Amalgamated Engineers have done much to illustrate that influence in the view of . observers like the , writer in the great orthodox Whig periodical .
