      The New Bishop. A Very Pretty Quarrel Be...

      THE NEW BISHOP . A very pretty quarrel between Church and State has just terminated in favour of the U tter . The newspaper world has heen vastl y busy with it for some weeks past , and especially since the prorogation of Parliament . Column after column , headed " Dr Hampden , " have daily stared the reader in the face , until it was enough to produce nightmare or nausea . Some people were silly enough to imagine that it would end in a rupture between the belligerent parties , and that the Bishops , in imitation of the Free Kirk of Scotland , would throw off the yoke of the State , TUT ? \* _MW -RT _^ HfVP

      renounce cathedrals , lands , and revenues , and set up aspiritual establishment of their own . Simple folks I how little they know of "Bishop-natureJ ! " The story is short enough -when disencumbered of the enormous mass of verbiage , which , some how or other , always gathers round all disputes ecclesiastical . It is as follows . Some few years since , Dr Hampden , the Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford , delivererl and published a series of lectures , in which he was charged with having enounced certain views on theological SUD

      jects , which were considered by the Tractarian party to be not onl y " heretical , " but absolutely " infidel . " This is not a place for such discussions , nor are we willing to enter into them . The gist of the whole accusation was , that Dr Hampden was said to have held that Religion and Theology were totally distinct and separate things . That it was quite possible for a man to be truly religious , without holding the " notional doctrines" of the Church , and that consequently a belief in these « notional doctrines" was net essential to

      salvation . On the correctness of these statemeats , or of the views impugned , we offer no opinion , but they certainly do involve some grave considerations for orthodox Churchmen . When the doctrine of the Trinity , the Divinity of the second person in it , and other fundamental tenets of orthodox Christianity , are Mentioned as being included in these " notional doctrines , " and their belief described as being _urni-essential to salvation , it is no wonder that

      all the pious folks , whose capacious faith was their greatest boast and surest hope of salvation , should grow angry at the _worthlessness of their belief , implied , " if not avowed , in these _lastures of the Regius Professor . The result wag , that a majority of a _Convocation of the _University of Oxford passed a vote of censure Kpon Dr Hampden , who firmly maintained his opinions , though he denied they were of the character described by his opponents , and

      there the matter rested . Curiously enough , though they could censure him , they had no power to silence this heretical , if not infidel , teacher , and so the Rev . Professor went on in his official capacity , giving religious instruction to the young men who were afterwards to become the spiritual teachers of the people , and Bishops , previous to ordaining these young men , demanded from them certificates that thev had attended Dr Hampden ' s course .

      The death of the Archbishop of York threw into the hands of the present ministry the duty of appointing a successor . Lord John advanced Dr Musgrave , the Bishop of Hereford , to the archiepiscopal throne ; and having thus produced a vacancy , conferred upon Dr _Hairpden the Bishopric of Hereford . The announcement of his intention excited the terrible commotion we have noticed . Thirteen Bishops remonstrated against the appointment ; Lord John silenced them in a short , pithy , and conclusive letter—Bishop Philpotts , of controversial and pamphleteering notoriety , rushed to the rescue- The Dean of Hereford

      declared his determination to resist to the uttermost the appointment of a heretic , and rather to submit to all the penalties of premunire , the loss of lands , emoluments , aud oSces , than submit to such a desecration of his oaths ; such an abandonment of his duty . The Times was in ecstacy with such a herothe men who fell at Thermopylae were mere dunghill cocks to the noble martyr , Dean Merewether . Lord John coolly replied to the torrent of " learning , " and of heroic determination , by stating that he had received the reyerend Dean ' s" intention to violate the law , "— a piece of successful wit , which has not been equalled in Punch , for many a long day .

      At length , the day of election came , —the Queen ' s conoe d ' tlire , or leave to elect , was read , as also , the recommendation to appoint Dr Hampden , —and the result was , that the noble martyr , finding himself in a minority of t » _-o against fourteen , handed in a quiet protest , signed the certificate of election hy the Chapter , and thus , for the present , the matter stands . Lord John can be very bold when he likes and his courage and determination in this case has been highly lauded by his admirers , and equally denounced by his opponents . Upon close examination , however , it

      will be found there was nothing extraordinary in it . From the first , he must have known that it was a mere party movement , set on foot by the same party that instigated , and carried the vote of censure , in the Convocation . The protest or memorial of tLe Bishops was signed by only one-h ; ilf of the bench . The heroism of Dean Merewether , to him , must nave been mere fustian and bombast , since he knew that that worthy dignitary had applied for the vacant bishopric , and been refused . It

      ¦ was merely a case of " sour grapes , '—and , when the sulky fit went off , the Dean was too wise to quarrel with his bread and butter . We repeat , with such opposition , Lord John could afford to be very courageous ; and , it is on s _« ch safe occasions that he always shines . We must , however , do him the justice to say , that in the use of his dialectical weapons , he thoroughly heat the Bishops—and we ven ure to say , it will be some time before they "try conclusions" with him again .

      As to religion , or the interests of religion , being in the slightest degree involved in the Q uarrel , it is all pretence and moonshine . It was a mere struggle for power and the " loaves and fishes , " between two opposite parties . Liberalism , as it is called , has triumphed . The Whigs can count upon a couple of votes more , in the Upper House , on a pinch—and as to the orthodoxy of the new Bishop 1 why , we have to live in times when that kind of commodity U not so highly valued , or so indispensable as if used to be .

      United States . The President's Message....

      UNITED STATES . THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE . By the arrival of the New-York packet-ship Ashburton , we have received the President ' s Message , which was delivered to Congress , at Washington , on the 7 _ta of December . It is , as usual , very lengthy . Copious extracts will appear in our next number . In _tfie _meantime we may state that a large portion of the Message is taken up by tke discussion of the abortive negotiations with Mexico through Mr Trist , and a _suramary of tbe incidents and _progress of tbe _successful ] campaign that has since been carried on against that country ; in tbe course of which due honour is paid to the bravery and courage of the American army ; He recommends that the United States should retain their present hold in Mexico , until a government is formed who will make peace—granting indemnity for the past and security for the future—that security to embrace New Mexico and California at least . He is wholly opposed te

      either -withdraw the American force , or to retire to a _desiccated line , and there hold and defend it . To effect tbis retention of Mexico , a loan will of _course be required , which he proposes to be seventeen millions of dollars , if Congress will place a war tax on tea and coffee ; if not , he intimates that eightees and a half will be required , and also a loan of twenty and a half for the fiscal year to June , 1849 , if no military contributions are levied on Mexico ; so that this will make a total of _thirty-seven or thirtyeight and a half millions of dollars required up te June , 1 S 49 . a period of eighteen months . The tariff has worked well , and is highly commended . The establishment of a mint in the city of New York is strongly urged ; and attention is called to the establishment of treaties with the Porte , _Tripali , Tunis , and Morocco . The opening of diplomatic relations with the Pope is recommended , and charges des affaires are to be appointed to the republics of Bolivia , Guatemala , and Ecuador .

      To The Chartists, Democrats, And Other F...

      TO THE CHARTISTS , DEMOCRATS , AND OTHER FRIENDS OF HUMANITY The committee appointed by the lets Chartist _Convention _, aided by the several metropolitan Chartist _localities , for aiding and succouring the agea anc , infirm veteran patriots , the wives or law-made _nidews of the expatriated friends of their country , and their orphans and the victims of unjust , because unmerited , tyranny , now appeal to you on _bshalf of the bereaved and afflicted wife of William Jones , one of our much esteemed Welsh martyrs , who was expatriated to the convict settlement , New South Wales , with _JobuFroat and Z _^ phariah Williams , in fteyear 1840 . Tou have nobly responded to the callmade on yon on behalf of Mrs Frost . You have placed means in tbe hands of Mr Frost , sufficient to start him in business , Bbotild his exile continue ; and it is with pleasure that welearn that Mrs Williams is sofarfavouredby « ircumstances as not to require pecuniary aid ; shall then the unfortunate law-made widow of William Jones , be allowed to suffered alone ? Yoar committee feel assured that you will answer emphatically * No !'

      _Itis true that your committee , through yourgeaerOBity , humanity , and benevolence , bare _beea enabled to afford temporary relief ; but Mrs Jones , in a feeling equally worthy of herself and the noble cause in which her _busband suffered and still is suffering , repudiates the idea of liv _mj in idleness , on the pence drawn _Irom the sweat and blend of her toil-worn brethren and sisterhood , and is desirous of possessing the means of living by her own ingenuity and industry . Your committee therefore make this appeal , trusting that each friend ef humanity will contribute his or her mite , for tbe purpose of raising one hundred pounds to place her in business , as a stay and corset maker , in this ' great metropolis . ' _Reaiember a larger sum was raised for Mrs FroBt , and a still larger sum has since been raised for John Frost . A mite from each , sent with promptitude , and the object will be accomplished , _Remember that half sovereigns and Post Office Orders will travel in letters , and that postage

      stamps are money . Up _. _thea , aad be doing ! Letnotthe stigma rest on as that Frost , Williams , and J _« ncs , suffered martyrdom for us and onr cause , and that whilst undergoing their patriotic exile—while separated from their wires , families , home , and fatherland , we allowad one of their sorrow stricken wives to perish of hanger . Chartists , Democrats and friends ef humanity—to you we appeal , and we feel assured that our appeal will aot be made in vain , but that ere three _msnths have elapsed , you willhave supplied ample funds to place Mrs _Joaes in a business becoming the station sbe occupied previous to the expatriation of her beloved husband ; and your committee will then have hut the duty remaining of con . tinning their exertions , until those virtuous , heroic , and truly noble men _' are restored to that fatherland , from which they were _' so unjustly and so _unmercifully torn .

      " X}T&On Forth* Miuio*" Friek&S,—In Last...

      " X } T & on forth * MiUio *" Friek _& s , —In last week ' s Northern Star we briefly alluded to a strike now on hand in Camelon , to whiab we feel _dispesed to call your attention this week . It i « an important affair , and no time should lie lost , or energy spare' ? , to bring this strike to a speedy termination . To do wliich , the Central Committee mnst be aided hy the rigorous and persevering exertions of every individual member of this association . There must be no lacking of duty —no indifference to payments . ' The sinews of war' must be supplied , or the work of progress , of emancipation , will be awfully retarded ; and tyrants grow bold and daring by our weakness—thev will

      increase and extend their acts of oppression and cruelly in proportion as we become careless and apatheti _* . As we have often said before , our own redemption lays in our own hands , and whea we like , w « may set ourselves free . But as long as we remain indifferent to our own interests , those interests will become more difficult to realise , —will retrograde at a fearful ratio . We may look for others to do our work , but we shall look in vain ; and unless we ' take our own affairi into our own hands , ' as Sir Kobert Peel advised us , we shall most certainly be undone . Let us , therefore , devote our attention to insure each other ' s happiness , and the day will come when labour shall be amply rewarded , and the rights and privileges of the working men be once more respected as they ought to be , and capital compelled to do its duty to the _toil-\» g _milViona .

      The case of tbe _Cawelon _nailmakers is ot a very _pressing and oppressing nature , and upon its success _, or failure depends the prosperity or entiro overthrow of the nail trade , both in England and Seotland . For , if one master is allowed to reduce his men , the others who have to compete with hiso . in the same market , must necessarily have recourse to the same system of . reductions , and thus is this spirit of _fiercn and unprincipled competition that rages both in the commercial and manufacturing world , sustained upon the poverty and destitution of the working classes . Reductions in the selling prkes of manufactured articles are ever accompanied by a still _greater reduction in the wages of the operative ; and to effect this , every excuse , even the most frivolous and absurd , is adduced to justify _irUem in bringing down the price of industry ; a fearful strife exists among employers , as to who shall pay the Jsast amount 0 / wages , thereby enabling hem to command a readier sale at lower prices .

      _Tiujs it is with the poor nailma . er » . The _masters , both in England and Scotland , are competing fiercely with each other , in order to undersell and drive each other out of the market ; and to enable them to carry ou this most unholy warfare , they have brought down the price of labour . The emaciated frames—the dejected and haggard looks of the nailmakers , in general , demonstrates sufficiently to what a fearful extent the system lias been carried , and the tremendous havoc perpetrated by

      this base and cruel system . When we have spoken to the employers upon their misdoings , they have ingeniously construed each other ' s procedure into a justification of the repeated reductions imposed upon their men , notwithstanding their mutual agreement , in their private meetings , to pull clown the prices of the men . Corrupt and ruinous must be that system , that is founded upon the wrongs and sufferings of tha working classes . Its deeds of darkness and infamy must sooner or later , recoil on its own head .

      Besides this , the Bailers have another monstrous griefance to bear up against , and that is the ' Fogen' system a 9 it is technically termed . This system , the masters make a prolific source of personal gain . These ' _Fogern , ' are a class of middle men , between the _masters and tbe men , whom the employers _engage to purchase tbe nails of the men at reduced price ? . Sometimes the manufacturers will _rejeet the nails when the men tako them in under the plea that they are _inferiorly got up ; and and then they will employ the " _Fi-gers" to buy up , most likely , the very nails they have just objected to purchase from the men . They do this , because these _"Fogers , " wflf dodge the men , and get the rejected nails infinitely below their value . It may b

      said , that the men om < ht not to sell to the " Fogers , " and thu 9 get rid of tbera altogether . But let it be understood , that the poor nailers have nothing to subsist upon , but what they get from hand to mouth _; and , that when tbe masters refuse to take in the nail ? , thomen have nothing to depend upon but that fur their breakfast , and as they cannot eat nails , or starve , they are compelled to sell the work to tho '" Fogers , " who , knowing their abject condition , pull down to the lowest point the prices regularly paid forthe work . Thus are the _^ e poor men driven to _disperation , and out of their _wretchedness do " Fegers , " and manufacturers amass great fortunes , while _poverty is the reward of industry , and a pauper ' s grave awaits the hard-worked care-worn

      sons of toil . Such is the position of the _Camelrn nail makers , and bad and reduced as is their condition , the _masters are attempting to bring them down still further , and in resistance of which , we now appeal to the _varisus trades to aid _theBe pcor and brave men to maintain , at least , their present position . Never let it fee » aid , that one part of your fellow men were broken dowft and crushed by tha ruthless hand of tyranny , and that you would not lay one linger on to prevent the progress of ruin , or to arrest the oppressor in his courso of spoliation and dread . _Remember , that if yeu suffer despotism to go unchecked , _ils injurious _teadency will _spread like a direful coatagion , and like a sw . trm of locusts , eat up the last remains of the workman ' s labour . Let everv one iu this association determine to a man ,

      that this revolting act ot _oppression shall , be resisted to the very teetii ; that the world may again be able to witness another triumph of the people ; tho _inevitatla result of their union of purpose , and _promptness in responding to the cry of the oppressed . Let not the _pyor nailers have it to say , that they were too low _ai ; d degraded to ho pitied by their fellow men , as well ;> s having to contend against the h » 8-tility of the master class . Now is the time to try your strength to test your power ; aud to see how far you are prepared and determined to carry out your laws and exercise _yourlegitimate power , which is so eminently calculated to obtain yoar inalienable rights , and permanently maintain the original dignity ef labour . To your post like men—Be firm to each other , and no powers on earth will be able to resist go strong and formidable an association .

      The central committee of the above expanding association met on Monday and following days , fir the transaction of general business . Correspondence has been received fvora Birmingham , _Brorasgrove , VVirenbali , _Keijjhley , Manchester , Bacup , Sunderland , Newcastle , North Shields , Paisley , Aberdeen , Camelon , Holytown , Glasgow , Greenock , Whitehaven , Wiaan , _Wellington , Butterwiek , _InverneES , Leeds , Nottingham , Derby , Maidstone , Plunipton , Bath , Bristol , and a givat number of other places . Also tho following adhesions have been received _Neweastle-on-Tyue _cordwainera , Butterwiek handloom weavers , Inverness boos and Ffloe makers , and North Shields nail makers . Also the following reports from the agents of tho association .

      Whheiuvkn _Lecibrk to the W « RKiNa Classes . —On Wednesday and Thursday evenings last , two lectures were delivered in the TemDerance Ilall , _Senhousc Street , in this town , by Mr Wm . Claughan a « ent to the National Association of United Trades . _Aftt-r the appointment of a chairman , the lecturer immediately commenced addressing the audience , which was pretty numerous and very respectable , _being chiefly composed of members of tho United Trades' Association lately formed in this town , Mv Claughan began his discoune by stating the objects and setting forth the advantages of the _AssBci .- . tion to the working classes . The United Trades' Association , be said , was established for the Protection ot Industry and for the Employment of Labour . It

      was not established to sow the seeds ot dissension between the employer and the employed , but to reconcile them to each nthtr , wherever reconciliation was practicable , lie mentioned several instances in whioh the interference of the central oommitteo of tbe Association hadbeen crowned with the most benclicial results—alike _atlvantngcouB to both masters and men . Tho speaker then _pointed out the advantages of the . National Association over the Trades' Societies , Trades' Unions , and Benefit Clubs of forrmr times , the members of which were invariably eneouragfid to strike on tho lea ? t difference arising between them and their employers . The National Association , however , he said , _encouraged no strikes ; they endeavoured to reconcile all differences between the _masttrs and men , and where they could not be

      successful , the _As _^ 'ciation employed tbe men on its own account , and thus secured to itself the advantages of re-productive labour . Every officer af the Association entrusted with responsibility in pecuniary matters bad to produce bonded security , so that every eare was taken to preserve the _Awociation free from those ' elements ot * decay , ' which have _prodded such fatal results in almost every description ot Trades' Societies hitherto established in this coantoy . The many interesting details connected with the proceedings of the Association were listened to with tbe most profound attention by the audience , who at the conclusion of eaeh lecture , rewarded the speaker with several rounds of » p i _» use . Resolutions in favour of the Association were also passed , ai ' tfae _oloso of each lecture ; also _vote 3 oi thanks , to the lecturer and chairman .

      Mr Lenegan attended a public meeting ia Marsh Gre *» . The meeting was well attended , and _con-SL _^^ r _& ble _S _OCtd has _& eea effected . , Mr _Lenegan _naa

The committee , besides _testiuj _? them in the office Beales , took the precaution to take one of them to the post-office , to inquire whether they nouM pas * , and were informed by the postmaster they would . It is true they are very olose to the le al _weight , and some , from being damp when made up , or some sheets of puper somewhat thicker , may have canned the unpleasant circumstance .
