TOLLOILLOW Monty. N. 6m.....Afternooo, Oa MLL, LONDON, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 24. OF the many comments which have appeared on the controversy between the Bishop of CAPE TOWN and the Bishop of NATAL we have seen none so manly, so straightforward, or so pregnant with important consequences, as the " Petition of the " Bishops of the Anglican Church in New Zea " land" which has just been printed. Its authors appear to possess, in a measure rarely vouchsafed to the clergy of the present generation, the faculty of seeing things as they are. The successive judgments of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, first in the case of " LONG v. the Bishop " of CoerrowN," and secondly, in the " Petition " of the Bishop of NATAL," have been accepted by them not as opinions to be cavilled at or found fault with, but as plain statements of fact to be accepted frankly and loyally, together with the whole train of conclusions which can legitimately be deduced from them. There is no attempt to fence with unpleasant truths, no trace of any desire to pick out the parts which suit their own purpose, and to reject whatever may be incon venient. On the contrary, they accept the de cisions of the Judicial Committee as constituting, in effect, a formal die-establishment of the Colonial Church, and they evince a business-like determine- tion to reap the advantages as well as the dis advantages of the consequent change of Aitus. Their petition seta forth, in the first in- 1 stance, the consecration of the signataries as Bishops ; their acceptance of letters patent from the Crown ; and the subsequent decision of the Privy Council, that in a colony such as New Zealand, which is possessed of an independent Legislature, those letters patent can neither constitute a bishopric nor confer eccle siastical jurisdiction. With the position of affairs resulting from this combination of events.the Bishops do not attempt to quarrel. They do but " humbly crave permission to surrender their " letters patent, and to be allowed to rely in " future upon the powers inherent in their office " for perpetuating the succession of their order " within the colony of New Zealand, and securing " the due exercise of their episcopal functions, in " conformity with the Church constitution," which the petition proceeds to describe. First of all, then, the bishops, clergy, and laity of the Anglican Church in New Zealand have agreed upon a con stitution for associating themselves together by voluntary compact. In accordance with this con stitution, Church affairs will be duly ordered, Church property managed, internal discipline pro moted, and " sound doctrine and true religion " maintained." Further, this constitution has been recognised by an Act of the New Zealand Legislature, under which numerous properties have been vested in trustees appointed by the General Synod, and regulations framed and a tribunal esta blished for the proper administration thereof. Be sides this, the General Synod has, "at a meeting "held at Christchurch in May, 1865," framed rules for enforcing discipline, and also, in precise accord ance with the judgment in "LONG v. the Bishop of " Cierrowx," established a "tribunal to deter "mine whether the rules so framed and assented "to have been violated or not, and what shall be "the consequences of such violation." After thus setting out their constitution, the Bishops go on to claim for themselves and their flocks a position as independent as that which has been conceded by the courts of law in the case of Dr. Wieser; to the Wesleyan Methodists. They quote the decision of the Privy Council that the Church of England in the colonies "le in the same situation with any "other religious body—in no better, but in no "worse position--and the members may adopt "rules for enforcing discipline within their "body which will be binding on those who, " expressly or by implication, have assented "to them." And then they point out that the rules adopted by the Synod provide, first, for • tribunal established by the voluntary compact of the clergy and laity of New Zealand ; secondly, for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the colony, on the petition of either party, to " inquire into the regularity of the proceedings " and the authority of the tribunal ;" and thirdly, for a further appeal from the Supreme Court of the colony to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council " upon the same grounds ;" and, there fore, " that the Anglican Church in New Zealand " is effectually guarded against the danger appre " bonded by the Lords of the Judicial Committee, " that cases might occur in which there would be " a denial of justice and no remedy for great " public inconvenience and mischief,' without " having recourse to a direct appeal to the Crown "in the case of any controversy, such as that " which is presented by the petition of the " Bishop of NATAL." Lastly, the petitioners " humbly express their conviction" that inas much as all the New Zealand bishoprics were " founded by private efforts, and en " dowed by private resources," the right of ap pointment to them is not part of the prerogative of the Crown, and ought not, therefore, to rest with the advisers of the QUEEN ; and they conclude by praying for an acceptance of the surrender of their letters patent " now declared null and void," and for a recognition of the inherent right of the New .

Al=rain that what the speakers at the late Oxford meeting really want, some for one purpose and some for another, is to see the influx of two or three hundred men who will get through the university for half the expense usually incurred, the Times contends that the way of meet ing the proposition lies in reviving the ancient academical institution, which included servitors or rims as one of the orders of students. These would be relieved, as formerly, at every point, of aconsidersble portion of the ordinary charges, and by being placed visibly in a position of a poorer student would be exempted from the social obligations presumed to attach to men of larger means. If the Oxford reformers would be prepared to see a poor class of students openly recognised and distinguished as such, the institution of ser., vltors would be as little obnoxious as a poor man's college, sad far more practicable. Generally, however, It cannot be denied that the wish is rather to obtain all the advantages of Oxford without all their natural cost. Wbeu we are j asked, as we seem to be asked at present, to admit to the advantages of superior society • large class which is not rich, and yetis not to be treated as poor, the problem be comes very difficult indeed. The Post, treating of this extortion of college servants, says that all the necessary waste of an undergraduate, either at Oxford or Cambridge, might be supplied at lust from 25 to 50 per cost. cheaper. The remedy is in paying the cook, butler, and all their subordinates fixed salaries, acid making an arrangement by which AIL articles supplied from the kitchen or buttery shall be charged out price as at the clubs. trefortunately the cook sod the butler are not the only offenders. Porters, gyps, scouts, bed-makers, markers, ell carry ea the same game, and vie with each other in trying what they can screw out of the too easy young men around them. (nos 001 omit 001AB110IIDINT.) PARIS, THURSDAY Einunito. The France, noticing the revival of a rumour that the Emperor intends to strip the Corps Legielatif of the right to discuss the address and to grant a limited right of interpellation during the whole course of the session by way of compensation, says We knew very well that the suppression of the debate on the address is called for by these men who believe that the empire and liberty of discussion are incompatible. But when we study the policy and action of the Emperor we that it he advances cautiously in the path of reform he never goes beak. The opposition has no doubt somewh at t it abused the right of speechifying upon the sddrems.e for has so used its privilege ea to make it more profitabl the government than itself. But that would be a strange mason for abolishing the right. Yesterday I mentioned the condemnation by the correctional police of the great Jew financier, M. Mollaud, for having or g anised an illegal ottery, although he alleged in his defence that ho was doing a patriotic thing by splitting up shares in I the Mexican Loan so as to enable a larger number of Frenchmen to invest their savings in a specula tion patronised by government. To-day the Moniteur notices a lottery on a smaller scale, which has brought the originator of it into trouble —not, however, eta much trouble as he deserved. A young man named Petri, being invited to a wedding, was at a loss for wedding garment& His only available security whereon to raise money was a silver watch, which he could only pawn for 10fr. or sell for little more. In this extremity a friend said to him, " Put up your watch for a raffle. You may very well have 70 members at a franc each. The person who gains will be greatly pleased, and all the others will only have lost a franc." This advice was followed. The 70fr. were actually raised and laid out at a French Moses and Sous in a new suit of clothes. It does not appear that any of the sub scribers to the raffle complained. It was quite natural that they should not do so. Every sane man who puts money in a lottery knows that in all probability he is throwing it away. The impulse which makes a man take a lottery ticket so far dies out before the drawing that in a very large proportion of cases he does not take the trouble to look over the lint of the winning numbers. In every lottery of the many which, to the shame of the Empire, have been authorised within the last fifteen years, a large number of prizes have been unclaimed. In the case in question, it appears from the Monitettr's report, that the " authorities" got wind of the speculation of the owner of the silver watch. Not only was he prose cuted, but his friend who gave him bad advice was included in the indictmen t . The Court dealt gently with them, and for a scheme which, if high example did not so greatly encourage it, would have looked like a bad swindle, merely inflicted a fine of 100 fr. The present government is very guilty in the matter of lotteries. They were abolished by Louis Philippe as essentially demoralising, and the law remains as it was in the time of that sovereign. But the exceptions to the rule patronised by the empire are an numerous that the moral effect of the law is completely obliterated. It would be better that lotteries should be absolutely free than that a monopoly of them should be continually granted to an extent sufficient to absorb every halfpenny that the public can be induced to risk in them. On one pretext or another there are always lottery tickets on sale in Paris, and the persons who get the direction of thew plunder the public to an enormous amount every year. The taste for this sort of gambling, which the law prohibits, is thus fostered by authority. At best a lottery is classed among maki prolukita, when not authorised, and the public is encouraged not to think a lottery nuttem in se. The courts of justice, ever humane, have come to regard illegal lotteries as venial as counterfeited bulletins in a ballot box. M. °dyne Barot, a writer on the staff of the Prose, avows himself in a letter to the Erenetnent to be the author of the biography of the author of the " Idaudit," signed "0. B." He alleges that very many pages of the " Maudit," and more par ticularly chapters 3,4, and 6, were read to him ten years ago as personal memoirs, and he gives it plainly to be understood that IL &den, in whose behalf M. Nefftzir and a dozen other Paris journalists yesterday took up the cudgels, ' was the person who read them. M. Barot fur thel r affirms that to his certain knowledge the I person described in the novel as Archbishop T—, was a bishop of P—, and that " Ver delon " was an Abbe He therefore concludes either that MM. Lacroix and Verboeck hoven are mistaken in asserting that a priest known to them is the author of the " Maudit," or that the person alluded to by him (namely, M. Erdan) must have furnished the author not only with documents and personal souvenirs, but with whole pages in his own handwriting. As a matter of course, M. Banat says he replies only by "disdain " to the hard language hurled at him by his confreres. The Bourse continues firm. The rather unex pected announcement that the Bank of France had reduced its discount from 5 to 4 per cent. was no doubt at the bottom of many purchases yesterday and to-day, but it did not produce any great effect when made known to the public.
