William Butler, vicar of Wantago, who was lately elected a bishop iu South Africa, publishes the following letter, which he has received from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Oxford : Addington Park, Jan. 12. My dear Sir,—We have carefully weighed the difficult question which you have proposed to us, as to your accept ance of your election to the office of a bishop iu South Africa, and we have concluded —that the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council having deter mined the position of our Church in South Africa to be that of a voluntary spiritual society, and that the letters patent held by Dr. Colenso confer on him no territorial jurisdiction or authority, there is nothing in his legal position to prevent the election of a bishop to preside over them, by those of our communion in South Africa who, with ourselves, hold him to have been canonically deposed from his spiritual office. Considering, then, the post of bishop to be vacant, and the needs of this district of South Africa, to be urgent, we dare not advise you to refuse the call which has reached you. But before we can advise you to accept it, there ap pear to us to be certain grave doubts which require to be solved. it is evidently of the utmost moment that no room should be left, in the action which you are invited to take, for creating a schism, which would still further weaken and divide the Church. For the avoidance of so groat a danger it seems to us unusually important that the canoni city of your election should be clear from every reasonable doubt. Now we perceive -1. That the . electing clergy were a decided minority of the clergy of the diocese. 2. That an equal number voted for and against the prdceed ing to an election. 3. That some of those who opposed proceeding to an election recorded their refusal to receive a bishop if ono were consecrated as the result of so evenly balanced a vote. These considerations suggest to us the doubt whether there is as yet the proof which you have a right to require, viz.-1. That the canonicity of the election is certain. 2. That it will be recognised by the metropolitan and suffra gans of the province as canonical. 3. That it will be so recognised by the church at home. We further notice, that though a large majority of the lay communicants present voted for the election, yet that they amounted only to twenty-nine ; so small a propor tion of the whole number of lay communicants in the dio cese, that we doubt whether these votes can properly be taken as expressing the assent of the laity ; more' espe cially as we do not perceive that they pledged their orders to make the needful provision for their bishop. We advise yuu, therefore, to suspend your decision until these im portant questions concerning your election shall have been completely answered. With earnest prayer to God to lead you in this matter to see and to do His will, —We remain, even yours, (Signed) C. T. CARTUAR. Rev. W. Butler. S. Oxox. EXMOUTH AT ALGIERS.—AII through the seven hours' firing, the old sea-lion, Exmouth, though a stout man of sixty-five, and worn with service in every climate, ran about with a white handkerchief tied round his waist, a round hat on his head, and a telescope in his hand, shouting orders as active and eager as the youngest middy in the fleet. He received only two slight wounds, one in the cheek and the other in the leg; but his coat was slit and torn by musket-balls, as if it bad been slashed by a madman's scissors. Many of the Queen Charlotte's guns grew at last so hot that they could not be safely used; others recoiled until the wheels made deep troughs in the deck, and there stuck; others broke from their carriages. Mr. Stone, the gunner, an old man of seventy, who had been in thirty actions, said he never before used so much powder, the Queen Charlotte having expended thirty thousand four hundred and twenty-four pounds of powder and four thousand four hundred and sixty-two rounds of big shot. Exmouth's ship wits placed at such a fine angl-, and with such consummate skill, that she only lost nine men—less than almost any other vessel in the squadron—though close to the gun-batteries on the mole, and near to thousands of Moorish musketeers. Once only, as the despatch has shown, the admiral's vessel was in great danger, when a blazing Algerino frigate came drift ing down on her. The Dutch admiral, seeing Lord Ex mouth's danger, was anxious to send every ship's boat to his rescue, but the brave Cornishman would not hear of it, said he only wished his orders to be strictly followed, and instantly gave the signal fur the fleet to retire out of dan ger before his own vessel was safe from the burning drift. Providence was gracious, for just as Lord Exmouth was regretfully giving orders to cut the Queen Charlotte's cable and veer round, a breeze sprang up and drove the burning ship towards the town.—Dickens's "All the Year Round." FATAL COLLISION AT SEA.—A few days ago, while a French frigate was approaching Madeira she ran into the barque Brutus, of Newcastle, laden with coal. The crash was fearful, the barque going down almost im mediately, taking with her the captain and nine of the crew. The nomination for the borough of Armagh took place yesterday. Mr. Vance was elected without opposition. lie proclaims himself "strongly attached to the Protestant Mastitlatic% Of tho country," . _ T SECURITIES. 98 110 (4) 99 101 b 3 8, t 3 83 1U! 114 114 IU6 113 105 101 103 0) IV3 liG I S 102 1(4 IC3 tOS 1( 3 106 105 107 99 iot 95 41 t.. 0 us 85 6 93 1(1 b 4 b 5 96 98 81 P 3 104 IC6 93 9:1 9( 107 108 11 ALL 2.1.0 29 2.11.

The Trieste Gazette states that orders have beerrgiven by the Austrian Goveru mentfor the construction of an engine of 1,00() horse power fur the frigate Lissa.

The trial of the four prisoners charged with scuttling the ship Severn with intent to defraud various insurance companies was resumed this morning, but nothing new was elicited beyond that which has been repeatedly pub lished. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) TIM RUSSIAN NOTE POI: ERTES.' Jacob Sebendz Showers, yesterday found guilty of feloniously uttering 95 forged five-rouble notes of the Russian empire, was placed at the bar for judgment. Mr. Justice Keating- told the prisoner that he had no doubt but that he was a memb3r of a gang formed to cir culate on a large scale these forged Russian notes. The offence had been much aggravated by the atrocious accu sation brought against a person who had acted towards him as a friend. The sentence of the Court was• that he be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Adolph Groeger and George Szipals, who were also found guilty of ailing iu the said fraud, were sentenced to 12 mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day.

Back stated that on the previous afternoon the prisoner went into the infirm ward and began quarrelling with the nurse. The nurse told the prisoner, who was under the influence of drink, to leave, and the prisoner then struck her. The nurse complained to the master, who sent for prisoner, and on his speaking to her respecting her con duct, she abused him in strong terms. The master told him (Dack) to put her out of the room, and the prisoner then set to abusing him, and on him putting his hand on her to remove her she took off her boot, and said " You -, I will mark you, and struck him several times with the boot.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—A little thin old man, with a number of papers in his hand, came before Mr. Paget to complain of what he termed a most astound- ing, unprecedented, and heartless display of wickedness, audacity, and unfeeling conduct, on the part of a woman to whom he had beon paying most true and honourable addresses. Mr. Paget —You pay addresses to a woman ! You want a nurse. (Laughter.) The queer little man, who shook violently, said he saw an advertisement in a newspaper that a woman of some beauty and means wished to meet with a partner who would make her happy for life. Tired of a state of single blessedness he answered the advertisement, had an inter view with the fair one, took her to his lodgings, and made her well acquainted with the economy of his house hold. She professed to be well pleased with him and with every thing. Other interviews took place, and letters passed them. Mr. Paget—Love-letters ? The applicant—Yes, sir; we agreed to get married, and I bought her a wedding dress A hick cost ma 8 guineas lawful money of Great Britain, a new bonnet, and a mangle. Mr. Paget —A mangle, who was to turn it ? Applicant—She was to turn the mangle. Well, sir, everything was ready for the marriage, banns put up in the parish church, wedding-cake prepared, and my new clothes purchased ; all was going on smoothly, and at th'e last moment the refused to have me, and said she never intended ; in fact, she did not love me.well enough to marry me, and she has got my property. Mr. Paget said ho could not wake the woman love the old man or marry him. Ile looked over the love letters o the woman which were written very badly and in very amatory terms. - The reading of them by the magistrate. created great mirth. Mr. Paget returned them to the would-be husband of the woman who had jilted him, and said he could do nothing for him at all; but if he was so ad vised he could bring an action against the faithless fair ono for breach of promise. The little old man packed up his papers, gave a long. drawn sigh, and left the court a wretched specimen o: blighted love. 1 Y.A EIKE TS.--1 Lis day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

THE LIONS AT THE NELSON MONUMENT.— Yesterday morning the fourth lion was convoyed from the studio of Baron Marochetti, and placed on the base of the Nelson Monument, in Trafalgar-square. " The figures for the present remain shrouded, but they will be uncovered forthwith in the presence of Sir John Thwaites, the chair man of the Board of Works, and several other influential gentlemen. MISSING SKIPS.—The Sarah, which sailed from nine Sablons for Queenstown on the 19th of September; the Jane and Mary, which sailed from Lance-a-Loop for Teigumouth on the 24th September; the Europa, which sailed from St. Croix for Copenhagen on the 23d of August; the Capron, from Cronstadt for Wisbeach, which passed Elsinore on the 29th of October ; the Helms, which sailed from St. Jago de Cuba for the Channel on the 19th of September; and the Sicilia (s.s.), from Bordeaux for the Clyde, which left Milford on the 4th of January, have not since been heard of. THE SEARCH O$ PASSENGERS' LUGGAGE.—The Duke of Beaufort suggests that the difficulty apprehended from the delay during the Paris Exhibition likely to be caused by the usual search of passengers' luggage might bo filet by exempting all who choose to take an extra clearance ticket from search. " The price of the ticket going to France," he says, " might be 25fr., and returning, £1; or, if that is considered too much, half or two-thirds might be charged, the charge being entirely a question for the Executive in both countries. The revenue would be benefited, and I am sure travellers would cheerfully pay to avoid the inconvenience and delay. The timbre affixed to the luggage, and the passenger's ticket marked cleared, or in some peculiar way, would insure both from annoyance." LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Lumbago, derangement of the kidneys, rheumatism, tic doloreux, all excruciating pains of the muscles and nerves, are relieved with astonishing rapidity by the use of this extraordinary Ointment.

Ancaster and Willoughby, Lincolnshire Mr. Spafford BILLIARD MATCH FOR £2OO. The grand tournament at billiards, which occupied three evenings of last week, at the Post-office Hotel, Manchester, has led to a further trial of the skill of the winner of the handicap. It will be recollected that in the first day's play Mr. John Roberts, sen., of London (the champion), who owed 100, was conquered by Mr. Julius Johnson, of Man chester, who received 70 points; on the second day Mr. Johnson succumbed to Mr. Green, of Liverpool, who only received 22 points; and on the third day Mr. Green was handsomely beaten, in two games out of three, by Mr. W. Moss, of Manchester, who received 60 points. Now Mr. Moss accepts the one against . Mr. John Herst, of Liverpool, who appears to be recognised as the second player in the world, Mr. John Roberts, sen., being his only acknow ledged superior. Mr. Moss received 300, towards 1,000 up. The match was played in the Assembly-room, in the Free-trade Hall, and commenced last t vening at six o'clock. There was a considerable attendance of admirers of the game. The table was perfectly new. After a few preliminary strokes to try the cushion, Mr. Moss opened the game, the players altercating several times, when the score stood—Moss, 303, Horst 3. Moss, however, added a neat break of 21. Herst failed to score, when he again took the cue, and made "the figures in his next break 71 to his opponent's 2. Herat made this to 10, when he got a miss ; and, after several unimportant breaks, Herst scored 20. Herst followed for 2in as many breaks. Moss resumed, and car ried his score to 425 against 25. Herst was most unfortu nate at this stage of the game, in the breaking of the balls. The betting was now 6 t0 4 on Moss—the gentleman quot ing himself at 30 to 10—and the betting soon after assumed the figures of 3to lin favour of Moss. The game was called 467 to 55, then made a break of 18, bein g his best hitherto. He now w hen Moss made a fi ne break of 43. Herst got fair fair possession of the board, and, on taking his cue, offered 20 to 4 respecting himself. After a little all-round play, he got the spot stroke 11 times, making a total of 56. He soon again had the cue, and, by making the spot stroke 14 times consecutively, brought the game to 477, Moss, Herst 187. There then followed skirmishing, which re sulted mainly in favour of Horst. The betting was now e ven, but after another sp len did break by Herst, changed to 7in his favour; the g ame standing Moss, 482 ; and Herst, 274. Moss then played for 15, coming out by miss ing a twist shot for the right top pocket. After five more il remarkablescore breaks the game was 522 Moss, and 290 H era t ; M oss b e i ng theae board striker, of a 3 n 2 d . playi ng After this a rst made neat his break ' and Moss, resuming, made five spot strokes, followi ng them with several long-shot cannons successfully played, so severalimm immediately resumed, strokes.

Horst now showed better play, and gaining position for the spot secured it no fewer than 23 times, and netted in the break 101 points. He changed from side to side of the table, having apparently complete control of both the corner pockets. Moss then added 7 points, and Herst followed with some good mis cellaneous play, exhibiting marvellous precision. The numbers now stood, Moss 623, Herst 4G5. A skilful break by Moss, in which he was repeatedly applauded, and which yielded him nine points, was followed by one carefully played by Herst for 17, which left the game 633 Moss, 501 Herst. Moss lost his cue by a comparatively easy spot stoke, and Heist improved the occasion by scoring 28 points. Moss soon made the game 655 against 531. Herst now played admirably, cannoning and pocketing at plea- hounds, or his representative, is required for qualification, it shall be necessary to produce that certificate, or to account for the non-production to the satisfaction of the Stewaids, before weighing, and in the event of the owner or jockey being unable to comply with the rule, the clerk of the scales will have strict orders not to weigh the rider."

A break for sby Herst was , followed by another successful one for 21 by Moss, who had now established himself as first favourite. By ,most consummate skill, exhibited in the next two opportunities, Horst altered the game mat3rially by making a series of 14 spot strokes and a break of 54, leaving the balls so that they could not be played by his rival, and then following in another good break.

Hurst quickly set a break of 29 against this. After scoring 25, Moss got his favourite position for making the spo: - , shot, but failed in retaining it, and struck his opponent's ball off the table. Hurst had consequently nothing left, and gave a miss. This was repeated. Moss scored next, mating 10, bringing the game for himself to 957, and for his opponent 904.- When Herat next. retired he was 927. A break of 37 by Moss now left him only four Lom winning the game. Much excitement prevailed dur ing the remainder of.the.play, and there was considerable finessing. Mess added three towards the 4he required by one of the finest strokes during the match, making the left hand bottom pocket off the red, which was in balk,•eushion ing round the table for it. Herst again resumed his cue, and brought up his score to 956, when Moss resumed and won the game by 44 points, amidst great applause. Three cheers were also given for Mr. Herst.--lianckesterGuardian.

Particulars have arrived of the disastrous fire at Yokohama, Japan, on the 26th Nov. last, by which more than a hundred lives were sacrificed, two-thirds of the native town destroyed, and damage done to the amount of £1;000,000 in the English settlement alone. An eye-witness on board H.M.S. Princess Royal, at 9 a.m., writes : " I went on to the poop, and soon saw how serious the threatened conflagration might be. There was a typhoon outside the bay, and consequently a very strong wind ; half a gale was blowing off the land, bearing towards us a dense mass of smoke rising from the Japanese town and the American consu late. The plan of Yokohama is this :—Looking from the sea, we perceive along the bund a series of handsome Europetin houses. Running nearly parallel with the bund are two long streets and a number of smaller streets, branching off in different directions, the whole forming the European settlement. On the hill to the left are the English and French hospitals, above them the mili tary camp. Immediately behind the settlement, and surrounded by a moat spanned by two or three small bridges, lies what is called the Yooshi Warm, or Gankiro, generally occupied Iv foreigners. It is a portion of the Japanese town licensed by the Government for prostitutes. At the end of this place stands a temple ; to the right of this and the settlement is the Japanese town. At a cook-shop in the Gankiro at the side opposite to the temple above mentioned the fire broke out, and spread with awful rapidity through the closely-packed wooden houses inhabited by hundreds of unfortunate women. The scene is said to have been fearful in the extreme, and the screams from the poor, terri fied, fire-pursued girls and children most heart rending. The crowd passed over the narrow bridges, bewildered by the thick smoke, blinding dust, and scorching sparks driven after them by the heavy breeze which swept across the plain at the other side. Many fell into the water and black mud which surrounds tho place. Several boats were near, but the Japanese made no organised attempt to put them to use. One or two Englishmen managed to get ropes across ; and formed bridges of boats, so as to construct a ferry, across which many were passed in safety, thus escaping what must have been a most terrible death. Also many of the poor creaturLs were pulled out of the water and saved. Nothing could stay the fury of the devouring monster. Before 11 a.m. nearly the whole of the Japanese town•was clean licked up. , As much water as possible was poured on by parties of sailors and soldiers, but, on account of the power ful wind, with no perceptible effect ; house after ' house caught, and the fire was fast approaching the ' handsome club which was opened only four months blow up some of the p l o o b s a o i n n ed fouo f w ro e m d ago. rIo save this it wabsuilddeienmgsedinnetcheessa:eyighto andGuncap t b h o e llth fl o e o e d t . exp l os i on until mowp,derandwasex nothing but a heap of ruins was lying around the club and the French hospital. The wind had changed, and was now blowing straight over the remaining part of the European quarter, and towards the camp. It was between 4 and 5 o'clock that, looking down from the hill near the hospital, it seemed as though the entire place was doomed to annihilation. By good Providence, however, the wind began to lull, and gradually veered round again to its original quarter. To this is owing the safety of the portion of the town which the fire had not reached by 5 pan . . During the day a long stream of empty tea-boxes, silk chests, pal ings, and other rubbish floated past the ship. The hulk of a junk, blazing fiercely, drifted by, nar rowly escaping the Nassau, a store-bilk for gun powder.

The three following days it continued to smoulder on, gradually expending itself, and on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 29, only a few heaps here and there were smoking and blazing slightly. This calamity has brought considerable distress upon the Japanese, Before it happened provisions, es pecially rice, were very dear on account of the late war between Chin-Hien and the Shogoon ; nor has al • the rice crop of the present year been by any means an abundant one; therefore the blow upon small shopkeepers was very great."
