THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONG-KONG GAZETTE.

Beems as though the Cabinet would soon be deprived of his as

sistance. Indeed nothing but mistrust and barred of the Whigs on the part of the Torica, scams to keep Sir Robert Pcel in his place. Should be throw up office he must be succeeded either

by some mire uncompr mizing Tory Premier, who will bring maniers to a point, or by a Whig Ministry pledged to make great concessions. In either case, a radical change in the state of things will be hastened.

..

In the Church, there appear to be the same elements of danger at work, as it the Smie. If the Irish Church should survive The present crisis, it must be by the special interposition of God, I who alone doeth great nurvela. Six years ago the idea of touching the revenues of the Established Church in the sister is- land would have been acouted in the House of Commons. Now, the proposal of making a fresh distribution of ecclesiastical re venues in Ireland with the view of endowing the Gatholic Church is made a maller of discussion; and though it has met with much opposition, yet the more fact that such a proposal has been brought forward and supported, is a circumstance which bodes no good. It is thus that all mighty changes in our constitution, civil and ecclesiastical, have gradually crept upon us.

At first they have been spurned with scorn; then they have gained ad- mission, and have been discussed in the House under the pres- sure of circumstances; and have been eventually carried.

We must not be too sanguine that even a Conservative Ministry would not, under the terror of a Civil war in Ireland, give up part of the

Protestant endowments as a gop to the Catholics; and nothing could be more fatal to the stability of the Established Church than this sacrifice of the principle on which it is based. Mean. while, the Bishop of Down has been preaching doctrines which have served to alienate the 800,000 Presbyterians in the north of Ireland, who form the strength of the Protestant interest, and the Judges in the House of Lords have declared the mixed marriages hitherto celebrated between Presbyterians at Episcopalians, il. legal, and thus bastardized housands, and disturbed the security of property. Thus the two bodies of Protestants are thrown into a state of mutual alienation, at a time when there is no safety for either but in active co.operation.

In England, Tractarianism continues to tear the Church of England to pieces; and the Puseyites continue to approximate nearer and nearer to Popery. The salvation of the Church, to all appearance, depends upon the firm stand the Laity may make against these innovations; and it is gratifiying to find that some of the most influential gentlemen and laymen in the Church have sent up a protest to the Chancellor of Oxford against the pro- pagation of doctrines so subversive of the principles of the Re- formation. At the head of these are Lord Ashley and Lord Sandon, The Methodists, diegusted with the insolence of the Puseyites, are identifying themselves more closely with dissent; and the compact body of Dissenters have constrained her Majes. ty's Ministers to withdraw the Factory Bill, though supported, without exception, by the adherents of the Established Church. Some of the Tory papers upbraid Sir James Graham for having yielded to the dictation of the Sectaries. He has yielded to the wishes of two millions of petitioners, whose voice no Minister could safely despise. All these events ovidently portend the ap- ́proach of great and radical changes, not merely in the measures, but in the principles of government; changes not only relative, but organic. So rapid indeed has been the succession of new influences, arising out of the repeal agitation in Ireland; the dis. content of the starving manufacturers, the progress of opposition to the corn laws, and the triumph of the Dissenting Interest over the advocates of the Education clauses of the Factory bill in Eug- land, and the secession of half the Ministers and their adher ents from the Church of Scotland, that it is impossible to foresee what may be the character of the next Parliament. That As- sembly will be elected under the pressure of circumstances miore momentous than any which have arisen since the convocation of the Long Parliament.
