The following letter has been addressed by the Bishop of London to the Bishop of Capetown : " Fulham Palace, Jan. 20. "My dear Lord ; -1 feel myself constrained by a sense of duty, much against my inclination, to ad dress your lordship publicly on the subject of a letter which you sent to the newspapers last week. You announce, as I understand you, that it is your intention forthwith to consecrate a new Bishop for Natal. Had Parliament or Convocation been sit ting, I should have asked in my place for an answer to the following : " 1. Whether, considering the words of the 26th of George 111., cap. 84, and other statutes, the law officers of the Crown, having been consulted by the Government, have declared such consecration to be lawful ? "2. If you are not acting on the authority of the law officers of the Crown, has a legal opinion been taken justifying the step you propose, by whom it has "3. b \ e v e n h e g n i v a e n n d , w a nd he r w e h i s a t are its proposed e xp t r h e a s s t t t h e r e m c s n n ? secration is to take place, and who are to be the officiating bishops ? "But neither Parliament nor Convocation is in Session, and, as it seems there is no time to lose, I take the only means open to me for asking you, before you proceed further in this matter, to give a public answer to these questions. It was only last week that I learnt accidentally, but from the most undoubted authority, that you proposed to hold the consecration on the 25th inst., and in Scotland. A vigorous protest against this proceeding has been made by persons who are among the most attached members of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The Scottish plan is, I now learn, abandoned, and it is stated that on Saturday next you propose to conse crate in England. your gr bishopsgreat t perplexity. in E n gla w nd e maywelbe "Meanwhile,t row thrown into know not in which of our dioceses an act, which, place.to sa say the se any v leas na t a , y i s mostread f aa in t d h o e ub t ful newspapers morn ing legality,to take that the thing has already been done, a n d we may be left in the disagreeable position of being called upon by others, as well as moved by our sense of public duty, to visit some of our clergy for taking part in proceedings contrary to the law of the Church and realm; when, had we been pro perly informed beforehand and the matter formally investigated, we might have prevented them from committing themselves. " I am sure you will see, my dear Lord, that the Church of England is entitled to a plain and imme diate answer to the questions I have asked. " You remember, from your recent presence at the Lambeth Conference, " 1. That the assembled bishops, under the direc tion of the Archbishop of Canterbury, deliberately abstained from affirming that Bishop Colenso's deposition was valid, either spiritually or in any other way. " 2. That at the adjourned meeting of the Con ference the report of the Committee recommending the consecration of a new bishop was, by the wish of the Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as of the Bishops of Lincoln, Ely, Chester, and myself, with others, deliberately, not approved, but only re ceived. " 3. That many of the English bishops, feeling strongly, like myself, how dangerous is the teaching of pitinop Colenso, still hold that his see is not " 4. That some also of our body, whose authority is very great in such matters, believe that (quite independently of questions of English law) the de position is uncanonical. " You will remember also, " 5. That, whereas the words of 26 George 111., cap. Bf, declare that by the . laws of this realm no person can be consecrated to the office of bishop without the Royal authority—if any doubt exists as to the applicability of these words to your case— that consecration service which alone can be law fully used within the Church of England prescribes that the Royal mandate shall be produced before the consecration is proceeded with ; and, moreover, the bishop elect is called upon to declare in the face of the congregation that he is persuaded he is truly called to his ministration in the office of a bishop, not only according to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, but also according to the order of this realm.' " To many it seems inconceivable that any man will be found to make this solemn declaration, in the midst of all these doubts, before the legality of his consecration has been publicly established by some competent authority. " Under these circumstances I venture to call upon you, my dear Lord, not to go further without the most perfect openness and the most complete examination by the authoriries of Church and State as to the legality and propriety of what you are doing. You surely will allow that you ought not otherwise to proceed to a step which :must be fraught with the gravest consequences for the Church, both at home and in the colonies, and for which, certainly, there is no precedent since the schism of the non-jurors. " Let me remind you that what I ask implies no long delay as to the authoritative settlement of whether or no you are right in your view of your duty. Parliament and Convocation both meet early next month, and it surely would be unbecom ing, in the face of statutes and of ecclesiastical precedent, to hurry on this step before either au thority has had an opportunity of expressing its opinion, " Believe me to be, my dear Lord, g‘ Yours very faithfully, " A. C. LONDON. " The Lord Bishop of Capetown." THE ABLSSMIAN EXPEDITION. (FROM A MILITARY CORRESPONDENT OF THE TIMES.) CAMP SENAFE, Dec. 17, 1867. One of the principal events of the past fortnight has been the arrival of Sir C. Staveley on the sth instant, to assume command of the troops in Abys sinia, pending the arrival of his Excellency Sir B. Napier, K.C.8., K.C.S.I. The consequence of this has been that the com mittee, of which Colonel Merewether was president e., the officers composing the pioneer farce_ has been dissolved, not, however, without an ex pression of thanks in General Orders by Sir R. Napier to those officers for the zealous manner in which they have performed the duties required of them. It is now stated that Colonel Alerewether is about to leave this to take up his appointment as Com missioner in Scinde owing to there being no suitable appointment for him with this force ; this, however, is not currently believed. Sir C. Staveley's arrival is a source of the greatest satisfaction to all departments, as we sadly wanted a head at Zoulla ; where everything seemed to be going wrong, owing to want of system and the issue of definite orders. With Sir C. Staveley, and on his staff, have arrived Lieutenant-Colonel H. Wood, Assistant Adjutant-General, and Captain Moore, Persian Interpreter. Eventually Sir C. Staveley will command the Ist Division, which, in all proba bability, will consist of the following troops :- Ist Brigade, under Brigadier-General Collins, 33d Regiment-3d Re g i men t Li g ht Cavalry; Major Marett's Mountain Tr a i n B a tt er y ; 33d, Duke of Wellington's, Regime n t ; 10 t h N a ti v e Infantry ; 27th or Ist Belooch Battalion. 2d Brigade, under Brigadier-General Wilby, 4th King's Own-3d Regiment Scinde Horse, G 14 Royal Artillery, 4th King's Own Regiment, 3d Regiment Native Infantry, 25th Regiment Native Light Infantry. The 33d Regiment, which arrived before my last letter was despatched, had on the 13th inst. only lauded two companies, owing to the scarcity of water on shore, and these two companies were at once pushed forward to Koomain. On the way they lost the whole of their ammunition and tents, owing to no rear guard having been furnished, and up to the 13th no trace of them had been dis covered. The remainder of the regiment will re main on board ship till their warm clothing arrives from Bombay, when they will be landed and at once sent to this place. Three companies of the Ist Belooch Battalion have been marched to Rayray Guddee, taking the place of the companies of the 10th Native Infantry lately withdrawn. The headquarters of this regiment will remain at Zoulla for the present. The Gl4 have been landed and marched to Koomaylee, where they will, as a matter of necessity, remain till the passes are made practicable for artillery. On the 9th the Star of India (hospital ship), with the Madras Sappers, arrived at Zoulla, and on the following day the Golden Fleece (hospital ship) also anchored in Annesley Bay. Major Prender gast, V.C., is in command of the Madras Sappers. Altogether, there are some twenty-four vessels in the harbour exclusive of the ships of the Royal Navy. The Madras dooley_bearers, under Lieut. Smith, intended for hospital and commissariat duties, ar rived on the 9th, but a portion of them were handed over to the officer commanding Transport Train Depot for employment as muleteers, owing to the strike of the foreign muleteers. The Bombay Government was cautioned as far back as September last against employing foreigners —Persians, Turks, Greeks, Levantines, Albanians, Armenians, &c., and the like, and since then re peated letters have been sent urging them to send muleteers from India. Colonel Merewether troubleal so telegraphed and foreseeing the men would cause, proba bl for e d 2 1. a, s o t o e Or these m en , but up to the present time not a single man has arrived. It is almost needless to say that the Transport Train is in a hopeless state of confusion. Animals roving about day and night dying for want of water (which only can be had at the naval tanks, where it is dealt out without stint to all loose animals that come there), and proper care and attention, add to this the effects of the epidemic mentioned in my last, and the deaths, I fancy, may be put down at twenty a day, and in this state must the Train remain till muleteers from India arrive. The officers are mostly picked men of great Indian ex perience and well fitted for any emergency, but their hands are tied. Things have undoubtedly improved since the ar rival of Sir C. Staveicy, and mules are now handed over to regiments and detachments, where the poor things arc properly fed, groomed, and watered, by which means the lives of many have undoubtedly been saved. Principal Veterinary-Surgeon Lamb, Transport Train, arrived here yesterday, with the object of examining and reporting upon the cause of the epidemic. It is, I believe, his opinion that it is entirely a disease of the blood, and attributable to atmospheric causes. There appears to be no remedy in the majority of instances. The deaths among the cavalry horses amount to 200, and their daily average to two, while in the Transport Train the daily average is from 2 tc) 3 per cent. at Senafe, With reference to the Transport Train, I may may state that, as far as practicable, it is to be organised on the same system as the Military Train in England; and with this object in view, non commi,•sioned officers from British regiments have been appointed to the first and second class in spectorships, while the third class is to be filled by non-commissioned officers of the Native Army. With such supervision, and with Indian drivers, the Train ought to be as efficient a branch as any in the service. The Commissariat, always a hard-worked and much-abused department, has been of late still fur ther harassed by the failure of the Transport Train ; but the officers—Major Mignon (the most experi enced and able officer of the Bombay Commissariat Department), Major Hawks, and Lieut. Shewell have worked indefatigably, and so kept things from coining to a dead lock. It is reported that the Advance Brigade is to be n o of here.the TAlta coming l o o m re in i t n o g the rea t e e u r l q t i u v a a n t t e i d ti e t s r a t c h t a s pushed on to Bahat, nin e m il es south of Senafe, and territory, where it is supposed s u p p li es w i ll b e forth : Tigre this place Chief's scarcely anything is procurable, and • ruinous prices are asked, because there is but one coin—the dollar. You must buy a dollar's worth of wood or honey, and the same price is asked for a goat or sheep. Rupees they won't look at. The move of the Advance Brigade will enable the_ speedy despatch of other troops to this place, but the ground occupied by them will not be the same as we are now on, but about two miles further on in a large valley, where the water supply is more abun chat, and the ground capable of holding a larger number of men. The advance brigade was turned out for exercise last week by Colonel Field, commanding, and after a few pretty ma noeuvres, which much astonished a large num ber of Abyssinians who were seated on the neigh bouring rocks like eagles watching our movements, was marched to quarters. This exercise is to be weekly, and will dol.* iless do the troops much good, giving them au idea of what they may have to do should we meet Theodore and his army ready to do battle. On the 13th inst. the Norma arrived at Zoulla with a constabulary establishment—a want long felt at that camp. Had a small police force been added it would have been better, for the Shohoes are great thieves. Captain St. John, R.E., has also arrived, and is very anxious to commence laying the telegraph wire to Koomaylee, and thence to Senafe. Major Mig non has offered to lend rafters to commence the work with, and telegraphic communication between Zoulla and Koomaylee ought to be opened in the course of a few days, and with this place a fortnight hence. Captain Le Messurier, with some well-borers and a staff has arrived, and his first experiment, made on the 11th, about a mile from the shore, was highly satisfactory. The want of water is the greatest drawback to the efficiency of the Commissariat and Transport Train departments. The spring tides at Zoulla, on the 11th and 12th, are reported to have been unusually high, and had it not been for the presence of the Sappers and dooley-bearers (Madras) great quantities of com missariat stores would have been destroyed. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Jan. 21.—With a quieter business in the Liverpool cotton-market to-day, and a slight decline in the prices, the demand here for yarn and cloth has undergone a considerable modification. The market for shipping yarns has assumed a much quieter tone than on Friday. Spinners having sold rather considerable quantities last week at the ad vance then obtainable arc now pretty well under contracts which will keep them engaged for some short time to come, and they are consequently dis posed to hold for the same prices, and are not pres sing on the market for new business. The business effected under these circumstances has been limited, with prices nominally unchanged. There is a similar lull iu the market for home trade yarns, and, after the excitement of last week, business appears tame. No doubt buyers, the more active of whom were manufacturers, have satisfied their wants for a time, and have appeared more disposed to look on to-day than to follow up the operations of last week. Spinners are requiring rather full prices for most counts of these yarns, owing to the extent to which they are already under engagement. The cloth trade is also quieter, and the excitement which gave such a lively aspect to the market last week has subsided. Not only has a quieter tone in the Liverpool cotton-market yesterday and to-day I tended to this effect, but very unfavourable news from China has had a deterring influence upon buyers for that market. The recent shipments and purchases for that market have been considerable, but buyers to-day have been determined to suspend their operations altogether. The quotations of manufacturers and sellers generally advanced a good deal, of course, under the influence of last week's activity and excitement, and they are nominally un changed ; but they have been able to effect but little business at any price. The demand for print ing cloths, jacconets, and mulls has undergone but little change. Domestics have had but little share in last week's improvement, and these and long cloths and T's remain without much alteration. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report:---6 4 There has been an active demand during the past week, and makers, esp3cially of India and China shirtings and of printing cloths, have contracted largely at a considerable advance on our last quo tations. The weaker tone of the Liverpool market, combined with other causes, has served to check the business, and to-day we close with a steady market, but with a marked falling off in the ope rations." CARDIFF, 20th.—There are more vessels in port than at the date of last report, but this arises partly from the unfavourable and stormy weather which has prevailed, and not from any actual in crease in trade. The exports of coal during the past week have been considerably below the ave rage, the clearances, as compared with previous weeks, being small ; but with a return of tolerably fair weather, and with ample tonnage in the port, the shipments will soon _increase. From the Mail packet station there is the usual demand, which is expected shortly to extend, as the stocks are known to be exceedingly low at several places. France has taken by far the greatest quantity for the past six or seven days, and there is no doubt of her continuing a good customer. From some of the Mediterranean markets inquiries have increased, and freights are rather firmer than they were, and there is a prospect of an advance taking place. There is no improvement to note in the prices ob tained for coal. The house-coal trade is dull, and freights are low. ROCHDALE, 20th.—The flannel market to-day, though visited by a few more buyers than last week, was very quiet. Operations were confined to small purchases, and in some instances sales were only effected by a lowering of prices. The best flannels, however, command late rates, and we can scarcely say that there is an absolute lowering in any class of goods. Yorkshire goods, though they continue in slack demand, are steady in price. Wools, too, are nominally the same as last week, but manufac turers purchase for immediate rather than prospec tive wants. LEEDS, 21st.—There has been a small attendance of both manufacturers and buyers in the woollen cloth halls this morning, and the business done was not to the same extent even as on this day se'nnight. The weather was both foggy and wet, which had a prejudicial effect on the market, and was probably the chief cause of the comparatively small sales of goods. The demand for tweeds was moderate, but chiefly for the lower qualities of those with cotton warps. Small selections of other fabrics were made, but the markets in both the white and the coloured halls were devoid of anything like animation. Wools, both colonial and British, maintain last week's pries ; but there is no great demand, buyers in the woollen and in the worsted trades being alike cautious in their purchases, and devoid of speculation. The flax trade is rather im proving, and prices of both the raw material and of threads and yarns arc rather firmer, if not higher, l 'than they were a short time ago. NA VAL AND .11IT,I7'ARY INTELLIGENCE An order has been received at Chatham directing 60 non-commissioned officers and gunners, with teu soldiers' wives and ten children of the 16th Brigade Royal Artillery, and 53 non-commissioned officers and gunners, with one soldier's wife and child, of the 25th Brigade, to be held in readiness for em barkation at Liverpool on board the West India and Pacific Steam Navigation Company's screw steamer Australasia, 2,498 tons, 350 horse-power, for Cal cutta. The troops are ordered to be in readiness to leave Chatham about the 30th inst. Detachments of one sergeant and 80 privates of the Ist battalion of the Ist (the King's) Royal Regiment, one ser geant and 150 men of the 2d battalion of the Ist Royals, one sergeant and 100 privates of the Ist battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals, and 50 men of the 82d (Prince of 'Wales's Volunteers) Regiment have also been placed under orders to proceed from the depots of their respective corps at Chatham for embarkation for India, to join the service com panies of their regiments in the Bengal, Bombay, and Madras Presidencies. The following officers at Chatham have been placed under orders for embarkation to join their respective regiments in the East and West Indies : —Capt. J. L. Preston, 45th (Sherwood Foresters) Regiment; Lieut. A. Glen, 21 battalion of the 10th Regiment; Ensign E. H. Singer, 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment ; Lieut. G. Roe, 2d West India Regiment ; and Ensign W. IL Gordon, Ist West India Regiment. Staff-Surg. B. A. M‘Derm o tt , late doing duty with the 2d Depot B a tt a li on at Chatham, has been placed under orders for embar kation to join the 95th Regiment in India. The company of the 9th Regiment, commanded by Capt. Harvey, which has for some time been doing duty at Simon's Town, arrived by rail, on the 17th of December, at Cape Town. They were escorted from the station to the barracks by the band of the 99th Regiment. A court-martial assembled yesterday morning at Mount'Wise, Devonport, for the purpose of trying 1,122, Gunner J. Reid, belonging to No. 8 Battery, Royal Artillery, recently stationed at Plymouth Citadel, on two charges—First, for having uttered mutinous language on the evening of the sth of January inst. ; and, secondly, for being drunk. The court consisted of 14 officers, chiefly belonging to the 12th Regiment, the Lieut.-Col. of which, Henry Meade Hamilton, presided. Brevet-Colonel T. H. Laye (who came from London expressly) was the Judge-Advocate ; and Capt. and Adjt. F. Duncan prosecuted. The prisoner pleaded "guilty" to the charge of drunkenness, and " not guilty" to the other. Three civilians, Messrs. Butler, Dyer, and Dickers, stated that on the evening in question they were at Phillips' Salham Inn, in the Citadel road, Plymouth. The prisoner was there drunk and excited. He said his Battery was on the point of departure in the Himalaya for Ireland, and if called on he would not fire at the mob, but iu the air, and would reserve a bullet for the captain. Al though he had taken the oath of allegiance to his Queen and country, it was only as au Englishman, which he was not, but an Irishman. Bombadier M'Gorary, who was on duty in the guard-room, proved that Reid was intoxicated when he came to barracks on the evening of the sth. In defence the prisoner stat.2d that ever since he was 15, when he entered the service, no one ever heard him utter a disloyal expression. He had an affliction in his head, and when he had drunk two pints of beer, as he did on the sth, he lost his reason. At Phillips' they were always talking about Penianism. To tell the truth, he did not understand the meaning of the term. As to his having said he was an Irishman, that he could not account for; he was born and bred an Englishman, and had never been out of the coun try. He had no antipathy against Captain Orr, who never bad any dispute with him but on one occasion, some years since. To sustain this state ment the prisoner called Serg.-Major George, who had known him nine years ; Staff-Sergeant Dem-- ster, ten years ; and Trumpeter Tole, three years. They never knew him to be other than a loyal sol dier, but two pints of beer were sufficient to make him drunk. The finding of the Court will, as usual, be first transmitted to the Horse Guards. At Chelsea Hospital Capt. Robert Grier, aged 75 years, died on Sunday. He entered the army in February, 1810, as Ensign in the 44th Regiment, and shortly after went on service to the Peninsula. At the battle of Fuentes d'Onor he was wounded in the right shoulder ; at the siege of Badajoz he led the advance of the feigned attack which ultimately became the successful one, and commanded the " forlorn hope" when the place was carried. He was iu the campaign of 1815, and severely wounded in the ankle at Quatre Bras. Capt. Grier had the war medal with three clasps, and the Waterloo medal. He was placed on half-pay in March, 1817, as Lieutenant, and was appointed a Captain of in valids in September last. Capt. Grier had for many years resided at Auchgrea, county of Longford. Her Majesty's 4-gun steam sloop Shearwater, Commander T. E. Smith, now in basin at Woolwich, preparing to be dismantled and paid out of commis sion from service in the South Pacific, brought home a couple of men picked up in the Straits of Ma gellan on the 11th of October last, and who had subsisted during the preceding six weeks on mussels and other precarious food which they were able to gather from the rocks. The men when discovered were scarcely recognisable as Europeans, having ,been so thoroughly metamorphosed by their mode of existence and exposure to the severity of the weather as to be taken for the native aborigines, if any were in existence. Their names are David Riddles, second captain of the foretop, and Samuel J. Henley, able seaman, both belonging to her Majesty's 17 gun sloop Chanticleer, cast away in the ship's dingy in a gale of wind while in attend ance on a shooting party of the officera. Theysofthat ship, and reported to the Admiralty a s ded were discovered by m excursionistsira from the Shearwater, and were thus a similar party ° f rescued could not be far culously from a miserable death by starvation and cold, which they were certain have been transferred to the dis tant. Henley has lost the toes of one of his feet by frost-bite. They flagship Fisgard, and, from the kind and humane treatment which they received on board the Shear water, they are rapidly recovering and gaining strength. The screw steamship Nelson, 72, Capt. Charles B. Payne, which left Portsmouth on the 29th Oct. for Melbourne, put into Table Bay for coal on the 19th December. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— During every break of wintry weather exertions should be made by the afflicted to recover health before unre mitting cold and trying storms set in. Throat ailments, coughs, wheezing, asthmatical affections, shortness of breath, morning nausea, and accumulation of phlegm can readily be removed by rubbing this fine derivative oint ment twice a day upon the chest and neck. Holloway's treatment is strongly recommended with the view of giv ing immediate ease, preventing prospective danger, and effecting permanent relief. These all-important ends his ointment and pills can accomplish, and will surely prevent insidious diseases from fastening on the constitution, to display themselves afterwards in those disastrous forms that will probably embitter life till death itself is almost prayed for, (From the In the week ti births and 3,436 thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 28 per 1,000 persons living. The annual sate of mortality last week was 27 per 1,000 in London, 28 in Edinburgh, and 31 in Dublin, 27 in Bristol, 24 in Birmingham, 36 in Liverpool, 32 in Man chester, 30 in Salford, 26 in Sheffield, 25 in Bradford, 24 in Leeds, 27 in Hull, 28 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 32 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 31 per 1,000 during the week ending the 11th inst., when the mean temperature was 17 deg. Fah. lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 26. The Marchese de Cinque, by desire of the Chancelier G6n6ral of home, has supplied a return, sheaving that in the first eleven days of this year, ending Saturdays January 11, the births were 214, the deaths 304, out of a p.pulation of 215,573. I In London the births of 1,129 boys and 1,073 girls, in all 2,202 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1838-67, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,192. 'ilic deaths registered in London during the week were 1,596. It was the third week of the year; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population. 1,745. The deaths in the present return are less by 149 than the estimated number. Three hundred and seventeen deaths were caused by zymotic diseases, the corrected average number being 355. Thirty. three deaths occurred from small-pox, 37 from measles, 36 from scarlatina, 9 from diphtheria, 73 from whooping. cough, 50 from typhus, and 14 from diarrhoea. One death from small-pox occurred in the west, 14 fatal cases were registered in the north (where the Small-pox Hospital is situated), 8 in the central, 4 in the east, and 6 in the south, districts. Measles were least fatal in the east districts. Ten deaths from scarlatina were recorded in the west, 13 in the north, 2 in the central, 4 in the east,' and 7 in the south districts. Ten deaths from whooping -cough Were registered in the west, 15 in the north, 8 in the cen tral, 14 in the east, •and 26 in the south districts. Three fatal cases of le r il : eivere-alconlorldn--the west, 12 in the north (where the London Fever Hospital is situated), 8 in the central, 12 in the east, and 15 in the south districts. Phthisis proved fatal to 186 persons ; 235 deaths occurred from bronchitis, 92 from pneumonia, and 91 from diseases of the heart. The deaths of 9 children and 2 adults from burns or scalds, of 14 children and three adults who were suffocated, and of 2 persons who were killed by horses or vehicles in the streets, were registered. In East London, comprising the districts of Shoreditch, Bethnal-green, Whitechapel, St. George-in-the-East, Stepney, Mile-end Old-town, and Poplar, the deaths in the week were 321. This is less by 7 than the average deaths of the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1858-67 ; the average being 328, which, if corrected in the usual way for increase Of population, becomes 356. The actual deaths were 321. The annual rate of mortality was 27 per 1,000 in East London, 27 in West London, 27 in North London, 26 in South London, and 29 in Central London. Allowing for any possible decrease of population inEast London, it is evident that the mortality there is not higher than it is in the rest of the metropolis. MR. COLEI?,IDGE, _41.P., ON EDUCATION. M.P., p res id e d at the annual Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., dinner of the Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools, at the City of London Terminus Hotel, Cannon -street. In giving the toast of the evening, the hon. and learned gentleman said there was no better insurance in the world than a good education, and no better insurance for a good edu. cation than a well-conducted school like this. He believed the school was admirably well conducted, liberally con ducted, religiously conducted, and that in its vigorous youth it gave fair prospect of a long and enduring matu rity. But he regretted to find that like our own dear coun try—although with no Abyssinian expedition to explain it the society's expenditure was in excess of its income. (Laughter.) And all must agree that it behoved them, in humble imitation of our country, to take steps to equalise in come and expenditure, and to try and make both ends meet for the future—(cheers)-21,200 was required to bring the income to a level with the expenditure, but no doubt a mere statement of the claims of the institution would be met by an immediate acknowledgment of them. The insti. tution was established for the benefit of the necessitous children of our friends and equals, of our fellow-labourers in the great workshop of life, and they appealed to our best and tenderest feelings ; they were bound to us by ties the strongest, most lasting, and most holy, and we could not do better than to give them a good education. Education was not the only great question but the great necessity of the times. He was not about to embark the company into the mysteries of an education controversy, and had not the ability to decide between the rival systems. Having himself had the advantage of an education which was now considered somewhat rusty and old-fashioned, but for which he could not help humbly thanking God every day of his life—(cheers)---like some other men upon some other things, it might be that his sympathies upon this matter were more conservative than his convic tions. (Laught&r.) But, truth to tell, he was very careless what we did so long as we *lid something for education. (Cheers.) Any education in the world was better than none, and he had come to think that as it was the direct interest, so it was the duty of this great country to sec that our citizens were properly educated by example, by sug gestion, and then, if all other means failed, by sterner measures. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he would say: We of the middle classes have manifestly a magnificent political future opening before us, and it is our solemn duty to make ourselves and our children, as far as we can, fit for the exercise of those great powers which it has pleased God to put into our hands, to be used, not for our own benefit merely, but for the benefit of our country and of mankind; a n d as b e i ngs. as Shakespeare says, "of large discourse, looking before and after," we are bound to improve ourselves to the exigencies of our situation, and to all ennobling, refining, and elevating pursuits. Remember that there is a very great difference indeed between greatness and strength. You are strong now ; you will be still more strong in time to come ; but if you would be great, you must acquire that temperance of judgment, that tolerance and charity of feeling, that large and liberal cultivation of mind which a good education alone can bestow. (Cheers.) And for my part, I have ceased to care whether the educa tion be old-fashioned or no, whether classical or maths. matical, or physical, so that it be real or true. (Loud cheers.) MALVERN COLLEGE. —The Rev. G. P. Harris, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, has been appointed to the professorship of English Literature and Modern History at this college. JUMPING FROM A TRAIL—Early on Tuesday morning a fatal accident happened at the Shrub-hill rail way station at Worcester, through a passenger alighting from a train when in motion. It appears that on the pre vious afternoon a special train left Gloucester for Birming ham, calling at Worcester and other intervening stations, taking passengers to Birmingham for the pantomime, and returning next morning. The train was a heavy one of between twenty and thirty carriages, and on reaching Worcester was stopping at Shrub-hill station, when a carpenter named Steed, residing at Merry vale, in that city, imprudently opened the door of the carriage in which he was riding, and jumped out before the train had come to a stand-still. The result was, that he was twisted round and fell back upon the line, the wheels of the carriages passing over his legs and inflicting fearful injuries on other parts of his person. On the train coming to a stop lie was apparently fniir ilonrs in , w a h d en y i n death ah state. put In an extricated, in a fearfully mangled state, and a str e t c h er having been procured, was carried at once to th e W orcester he r(3);:l insensible lived sensi three an or and end to his sufferings. fact,lnfi THE JAMAICA PROSECITTIONS.—It may be remem bered by our readers that after the rebellion in Jamaica in 1865 certahionhsdmltaken resolutions w ere passe d i n the then existing oHffio c u e s r e s of w Assembly regarding t h t the the suppressionconduct of o f the e rrevolt. British volt. The public will readily recollect that Brigadier-General Abercromby Nelson was among these officers, and occupied a conspicuous position both as regarded the progress and the events of the rebellion. On the 23rd of November, 1865, the House of Assembly in Jamaica passed a vote, from which the following is an extract :—" That this House, being desirous of conferring a special mark of its approbation on Brigadier-General Abercromby Nelson for the distinguished services rendered by him during the rebellion in the eastern parishes of the island—Resolved, that a sum of 200 guineas be granted to her Majesty for the purpose of procuring a suitable testimonial to be presented to him with the grateful thanks of this House." It is now completed, and consists of a silver epergne and candelabrum. At each of the angles of the tripod base of the epergne is stationed a figure in relief of a crocodile, and between these figures the arms of Briga dier-General Nelson, the arms of Jamaica, and an inscrip tion of the extract from the votes of the House of Assembly, given above, are engraved on three shields. From the base rise several sugar-canes in blossom, and between these stand two figures representing the aborigines of the island, each supporting a shield. These figures, with the representations of the crocodile at the base, are, it may be added, illustrative of the Jamaica arms. Above the sugar-canes rise six branches for lights, surmounted by a crocodile couched in the midst of palm-leaves, and supporting a bowl for flowers or fruit. The testimonial will be immediately forwarded to General Nelson, who is at Pro Ult . 94clutY b Ireland.
