The Establishment.—Recent private advices from England have apprised us, that the high Church dignitaries of the British realm are expecting serious innovations upon the Church establishment. A gentleman who lately dined in company with two or three of the English Bishops, mentions that this subject was a leading topic of conversation; and he gathered the opinion that they were preparing wisely to yield to a storm which they clearly saw they could not resist. The correctness of this opinion has already received partial confirmation.—It appears that in the House of Lords on the 7th of February, Lord King, in the course of some excursive remarks upon tithes, which he contended were the property of the public, elicited from the Bishops of Lincoln, and Bath, and Wells, an admission that, rather than that the subject should continue to be a source of discord between the pastor and his flock, the Church would consent to a commutation in land in lieu of tithes. Lord King congratulated the country upon this, which he considered a most important concession, and hailed it as the first step towards the settlement of an important and difficult subject.
