^^ THE NEW BISHOP . . A very pretty quarrel between Church and State has just' terminated in favour of the I i ttef- ^ e neff sp P wor ^ ^ as keen -vastly I C , ^ - with it for some weeks past , and espel . ^ -jy since the prorogation of Parliament . I p ' jjnin after column , headed " Dr Hamp-\ V p » have daily stared the reader in the face , | ^{ i it was enough to produce nightmare or U aU c& . Some people were silly enough to ? , jr ; ne that it would end in a rupture be-* e ei the belligerent , parties , and that the U ; 5 iops , in imitation of the Free Kirk of Scotteift Wliuld throw off the 7 oke of the State > -pounce cathedrals :, lands , a ' nd revenuesj and ot up a spiritual establishment of their own . ^
fimp le folks ! how little they know ot ^ Bishop-nature ^! " The story is short enough Lhea disencumbered of the enormous mass of / verbiage , which , some how or other , always / gathers round all disputes ecclesiastical . It is is follows . Some few years since , Dr Hampaen , the Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford , . delivered and published a series of lectuies ^ in which he was charged with having enounced certain views on theological subiects , which were considered by the Tractarian ' party to be not * only " heretical , ' but absolutely " -infidel . " This is not a place for such discussions , nor are we willing to enter into
I them . The gist of the whole accusation was , I that Dr Hampden was said to have held that I ' Relig ion and Theology were totally distinct I and separate things ,- That it was quite possi-! tie for a man to be truly religious , without \ holding the " national doctrines '* of the Church , and that consequently a belief in these I " national doctrines" was not essential to sall vation . On the correctness of these state-1 merits , or of the views impugned , we offer no I op inion , but they certainly do involve some trrave considerations for orthodox Churchmen . ^ Vhen the doctrine of the Trinity , the Divinity of the second person in it ^ nd other funda ^
mental tenets of orthodox Christianity , are I mentioned as being included in these " national doctrines , " and their belief described as bein # non-essential to salvation , it is no wonder that all the p ious folks , whose capacious faith was their greatest boast and surest hope of salva-I tion , should grow angry at the worthiessness of their belief , implied , if not avowed , in these lectures of the Regins Professar . The result i -wasj that a majority of a Convocation of the University of Uxford passed a vote of measure spon Dr Hampden , who firmly maintained his opinions , thongh he denied they were of the character described by his opponents , and » there the matter rested . Curiously enough
I though they could censure him , they had no I piwer to silence this heretical , if cot infidel , I teacher , and so the . Rev . Professor went on in I iis official dapiwsifcy , giving wligious instrnc-I tion to the young men who were afterwards to become the spiritual teachers of the people , 1 and Bishops-previous to ordaining these young men , demanded from them certificates that i | they had attended Dr Hampden ' s course . j The death of the Archbishop of York threw If into the hands of the present ministry the if dutv of appointing a successor . Lord John 1 advanced Dr Musgrave , the Bishop of Hereford , J to the archiepisoopal throne ; and having thus ! produced a vacancy , conferred' upon Dr
Ha-j'p-1 den the Bishopric of Hereford . Theannouoce-= ment of his intention excited the terrible « om-1 motion we have noticed . Thirteen Bishojis I remonstrsted against the appoiataient j Lord j John silenced them in a short , pithy . : and conclusive letter— 'Bishop Philpotts , of , i controversial aad pamphleteering notoriety , : rushed to the rescue . The Dean of Hereford I Glared his determination to resist to the uttermost the appointment of a heretic , and I rather to submit to all the penalties of pre iimnire , the loss of lands , emoluments , and offices , than submit to such a desecration of Ms oaths ; such an abandonment of bis duty . I The Times was in eestacv with such a
heroi tie men who fell at Taermopyls were mere dunghill cocks to ths noble martyr , Dean I Mexewether . Lord John coolly replied to the torrent of ' learning , " ami of heroic determina-I tion , by stating that he had received the ' £ &-verend Dean ' s" intention to violate the law , "a piece of successful wit , which has not been equalled in Punch , for many a long day . I At lecgth , the day of election came , —tbe I Queen ' s conge d ' elire , or leave to elect , was I lead , as alsoi the recommendation to appoint I Dr Hampden , —and the result was , that the § noble martyr , finding himself in a minority of I fcro against fourteen , handed in a quiet protest , I signed the car tificate of election by the Chapter , t | and thus , for the present , the matter stands .
j Lord John can be very bold when he j likes— and his courage and " determination in jj this case has been highly lauded by his adj mirers , and equally denounced by his oppo-1 aents . Upon close * examination , however , it 1 will be found there was nothing extraordinary I in it . From the fir = E , he must have known g that it was a mere party movement , set on I foot by the same party that castigated , and I carried the vote of censure , in the Convoca I tion . The protest or memorial of tl e Bishops I ^ as signed by only one-half of the bench . The heroism of Dean Merewether , to him , must
bave been mere fustian and bombast , since he | knew that that worth y dignitary had applied I for the vacant bishopric , and been refused . It I was merelya case of " sour grapes , ' ' —and , when lie sulky fit went off , the Dean was too wise I to quarrel with his bread and butter . We re-I peat , with such opposition , Lord John could £ sord to be very courageous j and , ifc is on I such safe occasions that he always shines . I M ' e must , however , do him the justice to say , I that in the use of his dialectical weapons , he I tWo ushly beat the Bishops—and we venture I to say , " it " will be some time before they "try 1 conclusions" with him again .
I As to religion , or the interests of religion , I king ia the slightest degree involved in the g quarrel , it is all pretence and moonshine . It ^< s a mere struggle for power and the "Igaves ^ d fishes , " between two opposite parties . liberalism , as it is called , has triumphed . The 1 jV % s can couiit upon a couple of votes more , I m the Upper House , on a pinch—and as to the orthodoxy of the new Bishop ! why , we have to live in * times when that kind of commodity knot so highly valued , or so indispensable as I iUsed to be .

"SWsn / wj / wJfiBMM , " Friends , —In last week ' s Northern Star we briefly alluded to a strike now on hand in Camelon , to which we feel dispesed to call your attention tbis week . It is an important affair , and no time 8 hould be lost , or energy spared , to bring this strike to a speedy termination . To do which , the Central Committee mnst be aided by the vigorous and persevering exertions of every individual member of tbis association . There must be no lacking of duty —no indifference to payments . ' . The Binews of y , ar' must be supplied , or the work of progress , of emancipation , will be awfully retarded ; and tyrants grow bold and daring by our weakness—they will
increase and extend their acts of oppression and cruelty in proportion as we become careless and apathetic . As we have often aaid before , our own redemption lays in our own hands , and when we like , we may set ourselves free . But as long as we remain indifferent to our own iuteresfs , 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 affairs into our own hands , ' as Sir Robert 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 toiling millions .
The case of the Caraelon nailmakers is of a very pressing and oppressing nature , and upon its success , or failure depends the prosperity or entire overthrow of the nail trade , both in England and Scoitland . For , if one master is allowed to reduce his men , the others who have to compete with him in the same market , must necessaril y have recourse to the same system of reductions , and thus is this-spirit of force and unprinci pled competition that rages both in the commercial and manufacturing world , sustained upon the poverty and destitution > of the working classes . Reductions in the selling prices 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 them in bringing down the price of industry ; afearful strife exists among employers , as to who shall pay the least amount of wages , thereby enabling hem to eommand a readier sale at lower prices .
Thus it is with the poor nailmaHers . The masters , both in England and Scotland , are competing fiercply with each other , in order to undersell and drive each other out of the market ; and to enable them to carry on 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 has been carried , and the tremendous havoc perpetrated by ihis 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 down 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 nailers have another monstrous grieyanca to bear up against , and that is the ' Fcgen' system as it is technically termed . This system , the masters make a prolific source of personal gain . These ' Fogere , ' are a class of middle men , between the matters and the men , whom the employers engage to purchase the nails of the men at reduced prices . Sometimes the manufacturers wil . reject the nails when the men take them in under the plea that they are inferiorly got up ; and and then they will employ the " Fogers" to buy up , most likely , the very nails they have just objected to purchase from the men . They do this , because these " Foyers , " will dodge the menand pet the
re-, jected nails infinitely below their value . It may ba Biid , that the men ought not to sell to the " Fogers , " and thus get rid of them 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 the masters refuse to take in the nails , the men have nothing to depend upon bat that fur tkeir breakfast , and as they cannot eat nails , or Btarve , they are compelled to sell the work to the ' -Fogera , " who , knowing their abject condition , pull down to the lowest point the prices regularly paid for the work . Thus are these poor men driven to desperation , and out of their wretchedness do " Fogers , " and manufacturers amass great fortunes , while poverty is the reward of industry , and awaits
a pauper s grave the hard-worked care-worn sons of toil . Such is the position of the Camelon naij 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 various trades to aid these poor and brave men to maintain , at least , their present position . Never let it bo said , that one pnrt of your fellow men were broken down and crushed hj the ruthless hand of tyranny , and that you would not lay one finger on to prevent the progress of ruin , or to arrest the oppressor in his course of spoliation and dread . Remember , that if you suffer despotism to go unchecked , its injurious teEdency will spread like a direful contagion , and like a swarm of locusts , eat up the last remains of the workman ' s labour . Let every one in this association determine to a man .
that this revolting act of oppression shall be resisted to the very teeth ; that the world may again be able to witness another triumph of the people ; ths in * evitabl 8 result of their union of purpose , and promptness in responding to the cry of the oppressed . Let not the poor nailers have it to say , that they were too low and degraded to be pitied b y their fellow men , as well as having to contend against the hostility of the master class . Now is the time to try strength to test your power ; and to see how far you are prepared and determined to carry out your laws and exercise your legitimate power , which is so eminently calculated to obtain your 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 , for the transaction of general business . Correspondence has been received from Birmingham , Bromsgrore , Willenhall , Keighley , Manchester , Bacup , Sunderland , Newcastle , North Shields , Paisley , Aberdeen , Camelon , Holytown , Glasgow , Greenock , Whitehaven , Wigan , Wellington , Butterwick , Inverness , Leeds , Nottingham , Derby , Maidstone , PJumpton , Bath , Bristol , and a great number of other places .

Whitbhaven Lecujke to the Wobxino Classes —On Wednesday and Thursday evenings last , two lectures were delivered in the Temperance HaU , Senhouse Street , in this town , by Mr Wm . Claughan agent to the National Association of United Trades . After the appointment of a chairman , the lecturer immediately commenced addressing the audience , which was pretty numerous and very rt'speetable , being chiefly composed of members of the United Trades' Association lately formed in this town . Mr Claughan began his discourse by stating the objects and setting forth the advantages of the Association to the working classes . The UHiled Trades' Asaoijj ' ation , he said , wbb established for the Protection of Industry and for the Employment of Labour . It
Was not established to sow the seeds of dissension between the employer and the employed , but to reconcile them to each other , wherever reconciliation was practicable . lie mentioned several instances in which the interference of the central committee of the Association had been crowned with the most beneficial results—alike advantageous to both masters and men . The speaker then pointed out the advantages of the National Association over the Trades ' Societies , Trades' Unions , and Benefit Clubs of former times , the members of which were invariably encouraged to Btriko on tha least difference arising between them and their employers . The National Association , however , he said , eacouraged no strikes ; they endeavoured to reconcile all differences between the masters and men , and where they could not be successful , the Association employed the men on its own account , and thus Bcoured to itself the
advantages of re-productive labour . Etery officer of the Association entrusted with responsibility in pecuniary matters had to produce bonded security , ao that every care wae taken to preserve the Association free from those ' elementp of d . cay , which have produced such fatal results in almost every description of Trades' Societies hitherto established in this country . The many interesting details connected with the proceedings of the Association were listened to with the most prefonnd attention by the audience , - who at the conclusion of each lecture , rewarded the speaker with several rounds of apphuse . Resolutions in favour of the Association were a ' eo passed , atjthe close of each lecture ; alao votes of thanks to the lecturer and chairman . Mr Lenegan attended a public meeting in Marsh Green . The meeting was well attended , and considerable B &od has been effected , Mr LenegBohaa

We trust the rarioua trades in this district will do their utmost to attend these meetings , ¦ and noi be among the last who shall endeavour * to help forward this great national movement . Since the Central Committees repljto the Crayford block-printers , that appeared in last week's Nobthbbn Stab , we have received the following , from the district committee of Manchester : — 18 Mouat-strcet , Shaw ' s Brow , Salford , December 2 «\ b , 1817 . DeahSir , —I laid your t « Ucr of the 20 th bef vnHa district committee , with r < ference t » the < 3 eol 6 lon of the district committee on the Croyford block printers' case —>• when the district committee came to a unanimous vote upon tke following resolution , which I am requested to > forwarii , with their wish for its insertion by you in the-Stau of the present wetk .
' Renolrea— -That while the Manchester DUtrict Cam- ; mlttea do refrain to give any opinion upon the merits or demerits of the question of dioputo between the Cray * ford block-printers and the Central Committee , yet they deem ths statements of the said trade , and the conduct of a deputation from tout body , through the preia , anS in going round the country to th « various trades , to be > highly ceaenrable , at the whole matter ought to be left over until the uezt conference ( annual or special ) as being the last and only course of appeal . ' I remain , your * truly , jAMEa Oouldin , District Secretary .
The first number of tbe Central Committee's Report is publiehad , and a cop ; has been forwarder to the score * tarlas of all bodies in connexion with the Association , and a stock 1 b on band for Bale among the members , whe > are requested to give their orders through their local secretaries , to whom any quantity will be forwarded . upoD receipt of Pout Office order for tke am » untj or if in small sums , by postage stamps . An allowance ot twenty-fire per cent , will be made to secretaries for their trouble , and as the expense of carriage will , in some ' . cases , bo rather heavy , it may be requisite for such secretaries to arrange nith their merabera for inch additional charge as may be necessary to cover the extra expeuuet . Tbe trades of Scotland are informed that a supply of the Reports have been forwarded to Mr Claughan , of . Holytown , to whom , as alao for cards and rules , application mast be made .
A » stated above , to secretaries of trades , throng ^ whom orders may ba sent , an allowance of twenty . five per cent , will be allowed for their trouble , but ia every case either in England or Scotland , eaih mast be for * warded with the order . The committee ver ^ jnuefc rearat to find that nom o . aopieB of the Report , which had been circulated through the post , have been surcharged for overweight . Tho committee , besides testing them in tho office scales , took the precaution to take one of them to the post-office , to inquire whether they would past , and were informed by the postmaster they would . It is true they are rery close to the le-al weight , and some , fr « m being damp when made up , or some sheets of paper aomewhat thicker , may have caused the unpleasant circumstance . Great caro will be taken to prevent such an occurrenoa Infature .
