A conference of Nonconformists, which was numerously attended by representatives from most of the Noncon formist churches in the county of Hampshire, as well as in Salisbury and Poole, has been held in the Above Bar Chapel, Southampton, to consider the course to be adopted in reference to national education. The circular convening the meeting stated that it was, probable Parlia ment would in the coming session take the subject into consideration, with a view to the extension, modification, or alteration of the existing State-aided, denominational system, and it being well known that many voluntary educationists have expressed their willingness to receive Government grants, it has become necessary to make a united effort to secure equitable conditions of assistance, should it be finally resolved to abandon the course hitherto pursued by the majority of Dissenters. The afternoon sitting of the conference was presided over by Mr. W. 0. Purchase, of Romsey, and the evening sitting by Mr. W. B. Randall, J.P., of Southampton. The first resolution proposed was as follows : " That this conference, while gratefully acknowledging the important ser vices rendered to the cause of popular education by voluntaryism, is of opinion that G-overnment aid in pro' viding day schools for the children of the poor is a necessity, and that its acceptance by Nonconformists is in no way inconsistent with their principles." An amendment was proposed that the resolution should end with the word " necessity," but only about twenty out of some 350 per ions voted for this, and the original proposition was carried with three dissentients. The second resolution elicited no discussion, and was carried unanimously :—" That in the judgment of this conference, no settlement of the State education question can be satisfactory, or should be accepted by Nonconformists, which shall not secure for scholars in State-aided day schools exemption from instruction in any religious doctrine or creed or catechism objected to by their parents, and which shall fail to protect scholars against exclusion on the ground of non-attendance at the Sunday-school or place of worship with which such day schools may be connected." On the third resolution a very animated discussion sprang up, and it was ultimately adopted in the following shape, two only voting against it :—" That the existing means of instruction be, as far as possible, utilised in conformity with the second reso lution ; but that, in their absence or neg'ect, this confe rence believes the time has come for the inauguration of day schools supported wholly or mainly out of public rates or taxes ; that the schools thus created should be uncle nominational in their character, subject to Government regulations and inspection, and under the management of an Educational Board appointed by the ratepayers or their representatives ; and that, in order to meet and supply the educational needs of the million uneducated English chil dren, it is necessary to render the instruction of every child in the rudiments of learning compulsory on the parents." An intcrest:ng conversation followed as to whether State aid should be- afforded to schools which were thoroughly efacient, the teachers in which were uncertificated, but no resolution on the subject was submitted to the conference, and the proceedings closed with passing votes of thanks to the two chairmen and other gentlemen connected withthe arrangements, which were throughout of a very gratifying character.

But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Paraffine, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their " BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Paraffine Candles. The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally. PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The "Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy soap to use. "PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre ciated, as not to need any special notice here. LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM. - AN EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci plant consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it. Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8, Sing William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all druggists, in bottles 13-0., and three quantities in one, 2s. 9d. each.

The friends of the movement for closing public_ houses on Sunday have just held a meeting at Manchester. They passed a resolution condemnatory of Mr. Abel Smith's bill, which, in the opinion of the meeting, did not go far enough. Still, they did not see any wisdom in opposing the introduction of the measure, which they thought might be amended in committee. LONDON CABS. —The authorities at Scotland yards have refused to pass a number of cabs submitted to them for inspection, and the owners have appealed from the police to the public in a novel fashion. The rejected vehicles have been driven slowly through the streets pla carded, " They will not pass this cab." Another placard denounced the "tyranny" of the police, and gave notice of a great meeting of cabmen on the subject.

GLADSTONE AND THE TRADES UNIONS.— A meeting of the sub-committee of trades' delegates ap pointed to arrange the proceedings connected with the approaching trades union conference with Mr. Gladstone has been held at the Bell, Old Bailey ; Mr. George Potter in the chair. The chairman said, since the last meeting of the committee he had been in correspondence with Mr. Gladstone as to the points to be discussed at the confer ence, and these points had been finally settled as fol lows :—The limitation of apprentices, the minimum rate of wages, piecework and overtime, and the rules of the unions alleged to be in restraint of trade. No doubt other and collateral questions would arise out of these points but they would form the basis of the conference. By Mr. Gladstone's request he had also furnished that gentleman with the names of the trades represented by the general body of delegates and the aggregate number of members represented by those delegates. The conference would take place on the 18th inst., at Mr. Gladstone's residence. The committee then proceeded to elect the eight members, who, with the chairman and secretary, were to constitute the deputation to Mr. Gladstone. 370 children. £l5 will keep a boy or girl for one year.

The object of the Charity is to give orphan gitls a plain Eng lish education, and practical instruction in the kitchen, house, and laundry, to fit them for domestic service; and, if not other wise provided for when they attain 15 years of age, to obtain suitable situations for them. The Committee earnestly appeal for support. The Charity is entirely sustained by donations and subscriptions. THE TRADES UNION COMMISSION AND THE WORK ING MEN'S ASSOCIATION.- On the first appointment of the royal commission of inquiry into the working of trades unions, an effort was made, but without success, by the Working Men's Association to obtain the appoint ment of one or two working men upon the commission. Consequent upon the vacancy which occurred last week in the commission by the decease of Sir Edmund Head, one of the commissioners, the association resolved to make another effort to get a working man placed upon the commission, and the secretary accordingly wrote a letter to Mr. Hardy, M.P., the Home Secretary, asking him whether, if the committee supplied him with a list of representative working men connected with trades unions, he would appoint one to fill up the vacancy on the com mission, urging that such a course would give greater con fidence and satisfaction to the trades unions generally. To this letter a reply has been received stating that Mr. Hardy " finds that the commission is in so comparatively advanced a stage of its investigation that he does not con sider it expedient to recommend her Majesty to place a new member on the commission." HENRY KINGSCOTE, Treasurer. W. H. Weawicg, Secretary. Office, 121, Pall-mall, S.W. MR. GLADSTONE ON SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Mr. Gladstone has been treating the villagers of Hawarden to an elaborate address on the subject of Sir Walter Scott and his works. The right hon. gentleman, after saying that the distinguished poet and novelist had received in this island respect and veneration little short of idolatry, went on to deplore the danger there was of Scott passing out of the mind of the rising generation altogether. Like the writer in the Quarterly, Mr. Gladstone was in clined to regard the decline of the fashion for Scott as a great public misfortune. Young men and women now under 25 years of age knew comparatively nothing of what Scott wrote, a fact to be much regretted. Mr. Gladstone went further than the Quarterly, however, as to the position of Scott among his brethren north of the Tweed. The article said "he was one of the most illus trious," but in his opinion Sir Walter stood far ahead of all the illustrious men his country had produced. Regard. ing Scott as a poet, if he was not first, he was at least second-class. But, as a novelist, he undoubtedly began a new era in literature. He was a great purifier, and he had the power of reviving antiquity. But his great forte was that of drawing character. Altogether, Mr. Gladstone claimed him as the third great writer that ever lived, Homer and Shakspere only taking precedence. The best of his romances, the right hon. gentleman thought, were " The Bride of Lammermoor" and " Kenilworth," the former tragic, the latter august. Either of these would have secured immortality for an ordinary man. FRIENDLESS AND FALLEN.-LONDON FEMALE PREVENTIVE and REFORMATORY IN STITIITION. THE REFORM LEAGUE. —The Council of the Reform League met at t ß h e e n ir ie r s ooms,Adelphi-terrace, on Wednesday The chairman f t e ; r r llr e M. to the question esptrioes.dni of e the int e h r e f e c r h e n a chair. int by the police with the branch meetings of the League at various li cense d houses, and reminded the counc il that at their last meeting, after he read the denial of Sir Richard Mayne that the police had so inter fered, he submitted a statement by a landlord of one of the houses, repeating that the police authorities had prevented Branch League meetings, or any other meetings, being held in his house. The question was then adjourned, in order to bring forward corroborative evidence as to the interference of the police ; and having obtained that, he had written to Sir Richard Mayne en closing it last Saturday, but he had not yet received an answer. He did not think it advisable to read the letter sent to Sir Richard until he had received his reply. He congratulated the council upon the success of the meeting in St. James's Hall, both in point of n umbers and the ex cellence of the leCture delivered by Mr. Stansfeld, Mr. Mantle moved, Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson seconded, and it was resolved, "That the special and warmest thanks of the council be given to James Stansfeld, Esq., M.P., for his judicious and statesmanlike address on ' The political future of the working classes,' delivered last night in St. James's Hall." A letter was read from an elector of Westminster, stating that Mr. Smith's canvas against Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., was being actively pursued, as the whole district was dotted over with his committee men. The writer suggested that the members of the branches of the League in Westminster should exert themselves to r2eure the triumphant return of Mr. John Stuart Mill. There was a general hope expressed by the members of the council that the Reformers of Westminster would do r. ;r duty by so honest and able a Reformer as Mr. Mill had proved himself to be.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destimto sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

NAVAL AND MILITARY lIVTELLIGENCE. His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Com manding-in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Wednesday next, the 12th inst. Yesterday the whole of the infantry regiments at present stationed at Aldershot were exercised in various field movements by Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding the division. The troops formed up on the Queen's Parade, North Camp, in line of contiguous columns. The Lieut.-General arrived upon the ground shortly after the formation was complete, and was received with the usual salute, after which the troops marched past in grand divisions as follows :—Pioneers, bands and drums of the 2d Brigade ; Staff and Brigadier- Gen. Carey, C. 8., Major Trench and 40th Regi ment, Col. Harrison and 80th Regiment, Col. Synge and 43d Light Infantry. Pioneers, bands and drums of the 3d Brigade ; Staff and Brigadier Peyton, 98th Regiment; Major Madden and 51st Light Infantry, Capt. Beamish and 98th Regiment, Major Deacon and 54th Regiment. They then countermarched and went past from the reverse flank in mass of columns, and again from the ori ginal flank in lines of contiguous columns by bri gades. After a few other movements the troops, who were in marching order, returned to quarters about half-past 12 o'clock. The deployments and formations were executed with great accuracy. Capt. F. A. Marindin, late the Adjutant at the Royal Engineer Establishment, Chatham, has been appointed to the Royal Engineer Department at Devonport, and is succeeded in the Adjutancy at head-quarters by Capt. Bruce Brine, who is ordered to join at Chatham from the Curragh. The general court-martial which recently assem bled at Chatham garrison, under the presidency of Col. J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., Royal Engineers, for the trial of Capt. James Hett Tennant, 45th (Sher wood Foresters) Regiment, on the charge of having, when in command of a detachment at the Isle of Grain, Chatham, absented himself without leave from the 6th of October to the 21st of December, was yesterday dissolved, and Capt. Tennant ordered to resume garrison duty this morning. An Admiralty order was yesterday received at Chatham dockyard, postponing the launch of the ronc!ad frigate Hercules, 14, 5,226 tons, 1,200 horse-power, from Saturday until Monday after noon next, in consequence of the members of the Admiralty being unable to attend on the former day. The first selected test armour-plate for the tur retted ironclad Cerberus, building for the colony of Victoria under the superintendence of the Admi ralty, at Jarrow, was passed through its trial yes terday at Portsmouth most successfully, on board the target-ship Thunderer, under the superinten dence of Capt. A. W. Hood, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Excellent. The plate was manufactured by Messrs. Calumet' and Co. (limited), of the Cyclops Steel and Iron Works, Sheffield. It was 14ft. in Ipngth, 3ft. 9in. in breadth, and Bin. in thickness. Eighteen ,test shots in all were fired 'at it in two clusters, nine shots being planted in one cluster with edges of indents overlapping at each end. Th e p l ate proved of very superior quality in metal and in manufacture. WONDERFUL iMPS SPORT WITH 71IE BRAMIIAM MOOR. Lately the Bramhatn Moor Foxhounds met at the Boot and Shoe Inn, Leeds and Selby-road. Punctually at half-past ten the popular Master, accompanied by his two. daughters, and youngest son, arrived. The young ladies are passionately fond of the sport, and often grace the field with their presence. The Master gave the order " Mr. Pavier's plantations"---the desired one was absent. Thence to Ledsham Gorse, again blank. A field from the gorse there is an old quarry, a very fa vourite resort. No sooner were the hounds yoicked-in than the welcome note was given Away in the direction for Ledsham Park, headed to the left for Ledsham House, then straight up hill, crossed the Fairburne-road towards Fryston, then to Buttress Hill, down the road for Burton Salmon ; killed him in a quarry against Station ; a quick 35 minutes. Back again to the Boot and Shoe plantation ; blank. Crossedj the road into T. Bland, Esq.'s woods, generally a sure find ; not at home in the first. Over the railway ; here all correct, a view from the veteran Ned John son proclaimed the welcome fact. Hounds settled to work in a moment ; drove him very fast through the woods into the open near Newthorp Lime-kilns, raced into him after 25 minutes with a clip. Turpin threw No. 2 to the eager pack, the noble Master presenting the brush to one of his lovely daughters. They then retired from the field. What next? was the question ; a Badsworth man made the remark 46 They will not try again after two kills and so much work." The Master laughed, gave Turpin the order " Daniel Hartley's," a wood situate on the Earl of Ashtown's property. Although an absentee strict orders are given for the preserva tion of foxes, and abundance of the right material is always found, both upon the earl's and Colonel Gascoigne's Parlington estate. A fox was viewed going into Daniel ; Turpin quickly clapped the ladies on the line. On, on, with a clink, best pace, lots of music; leaving Lotherton Hall to the right, past Hicklam House to the left, for Hook Moor ; a long check took place ; the Earl of Harewood and son, C. Sykes, M.P., the Leeds division, and many of the field left. The noble earl not having the slightest idea that had he only waited half an hour there was a run in embryo that would have landed him ten miles nearer his own domain. Turpin cast across the moor, hit him off ; slow hunting to Mr. Bland's plantation ; matters warmed up in the plantation, Johnson of the eagle eye views him stealing away for Pain Hall ; on with a rattle to wards Micklefield station; turned to the right below Micklefield Village, forward for Parlington Park, across the park a burster, a momentary check. Hark to Woodbine ! good bitch ; forward on leav ing Parlington Old Wood to the right, down to the brook, creased to the left of Throstle Nest Farm ; a straight goer now before us, one of the right sort, crosses the middle of the fields ; no faint heart, been to see his lady love, no doubt. On, on, leaving Barnboro' Village to the left, away to the right, over the Scholes and Barwick-road, skirting the hamlet of Scholes on the left, clinking on, leaving Marich Hall to the right ; a slight check in the fallows ; see how the ladies work ; look how Beeswing and the lot quest roun d ; well done Symphony, one to you! She carries the line down the fence, the body quickly rushing to cry. " Forward, forward!" over the Leeds and Tadeas osier bed ; h ere our ga ll ant ter-road to Grimes Dyke friend lingered a while meditating en the happy moments past ; meditation in this instance was at tended by an increase of pace. On from the osier beds three fields in the direction of Shadwell. Such fields ! Fetlock deep every stroke. Held to the right for Mr. Skelton's plantation, o ver th e open for Ettoft's, across Leeds and Thorner-road, straight for the Leeds and Scarcroft-road ; a slight check in the road, bit him off to the right along the plantation, under the hill, to the left through Mr. Tennant's plantation, over the Leeds and Scar croft-road into the wood, on to the extreme end of the wood as if for Wyke, to the right through the gorse, over the road again near the bar in the direction for Bratnhatn, back again into the cover, such a crash ! Now talk about condition. Our old friend had here two or three relations in reserve ready to take up the running for him, and by this artful dodge saved his life. Past five o'clock, al though from the point where No. 1 was killed in the morning it must be nearly 20 miles. hounds still showed a wonderful game endurance and superb condition, reflecting the greatest credit on the hunts man's skill. Shades of evening closed the scene. We had three or four fresh foxes on foot, hounds were stopped, and this punishing run for hounds and horses was over. The Mater was up at the finish, his horse having cast a shoe ; he came some ten miles straight ; hounds all there. Time, lh. 48min. At Grimes Dyke osier bed I took stock of the field. I only saw the huntsman, T. Fairfax, Esq. ; Baldwin, Esq. ; Tennant, Esq., and son ; B. Nicholson, and Ned Johnson. L)oked again at Leeds and Thorner road, only three—huntsman, Baldwin, and B. Nicholson. At , the finish the Master, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Tennant and son, Baldwin, Nicholson, Wick ham, Mr. Gregsm and son, and both whips. Many thanks to Mr. Tennant for his liberal hospitality, which was never more required both for horses and men.—Correspondent of Bell's Life. • AQUATICS. THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. The crews at present selected are progressing favour ably, although some changes may naturally be expected. The official challenge, about the giving or accepting of which there could be no doubt, has been duly forwarded by Mr. Still, the president of the C.U.8.0 , to Mr. Willan, the president of Oxford, and as the tide suits well for the race to take place at midday on Saturday, the 4th April, that may be looked upon as the time for the consest. The following are the crews : OXFO] 1. I). Benson, Balliol. 2. A. C. YarLorough, Lin 5. T. J. Derrington, Christ Church 6. S. D. Darbishire, Balliul. 7. R. S. Ross, Exeter. 8. R. G. Marsden, Merton.

Cunningham, King's. 6. W. F. M'Michael, Down ing. 7. H. T. Naiin, Pembroke 8. W. J. Pinckney, Ist Tri nity. In the Oxford boat the stroke is the same as last year • Messrs. Carter and Tinne also were in the last victorious contest, and Mr. F. Willan, who is at present overlooking his craw from the steerage, will take his place at No. 7. The crew, formidable as before in size, already gives pro mise of being worthy of the University of Oxford, and that is no trifle. At Cambridge Mr. Still is handling the yoke lines, and from that position looking after his men. It will be seen that Mr. Pinckney is rowing the stroke, all solicitations to induce the Hon. T. Gordon, who was at No. 4 last year, to row being at present unavailing ; but although that gentle man does not wish to be in the forthcoming contest, it is hoped that he may yet be induced to take the stroke, for which he is eminently qualified. Messrs Still (6) and Anderson (1), in last year's crew, will soon displace two of the gentlemen in the above list. The crew at present in the boat are strong and good, and are already at very bard work. CHURCH RATES REGULATION BILL.- -Mr. Hub bard's Bill, which is again laid before Parliament, has been printed. What it proposes is that any person who, on one of the first seven chys of the year, sends written notice to one of the churchwardens, claiming to be exempt from being rated to a church-rate, is not to be liable for any rate levied in that year; but if he is only tenant of the pro perty for which he is rateable, the churchwarden is to send a copy of the claim to the owner, who, unless he also claims exemption, is then to be rated, and to be en titled to attend and vote at the vestry mestiogs. Vestries for making or applying a church-rate are to be designated "church vestries," and are to transact no other business; and no person thus exempted from church-rate is to be entitled to attend or vote, or to act as churchwarden. The bill contains a clause providing that for the church of every parish or district entitled to levy church-rates one churchwarden shall be nominated by the minister, any local rule or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. milSePsEiEnDl inland dNfErlOirm n S.

The Marquis d'Azeglio does not quit England, but continues to reside in London. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Yesterday, at the Warrington Borough Court. George Parry, lately the goods manager for the Great Western Railway Com pany, at the Bank Q uay Station, Warrington, was charged, on remand, with embezzling p the sum of £l9 lOs 3d. Mr. George Proctor, the district manager of the Great Company, stated that in September last he had his attention drawn to the management of affairs b y the prisoner at Bank Quay ; and he sent a clerk there to attend to the business, having summarily dismissed the prisoner. The clerk reported that there a larger outstanding debt than Parry had stated was Subsequently Parry told witness he had " done wrong." He (witness) asked him how much he was behind ' and the prisoner replied, about £250. The prisoner was committed p to Kirkdale sessions, bail etngaccepted to the amount of £4OO for his re-appearance. TECHNICAL EDUCATION. —The Macclesfield Cham ber of Commerce has resolved to forward the follow. ing remarks to the Committee of the Privy Council : "That primary edu ca ti on s h ou ld be compulsory and technical to an elementary degree ; that it should in all cases be preparatory to a secondary or advanced education in science, art, and lan guages, as applicable to trade , manufacture, and commerce ; be unde r State control and inspection, and be supplemented by local rates where neces sary. That secondary education should be given in all middle-class school s , as we ll as primary schools, and, as regards sc i ence an d art, should be given in colleges and universities, and placed on an equal footing with classics and mathematics as to rewards, honours, emoluments, &c. It should be given in central technical schools for instruction in science, art, commerce, agriculture, &c., and be main tained, controlled, and inspected as in the case of primary schools. With respect to general edu cation, it is recommended that the Govern ment management and control should be consoli dated by the appointment of a Minister of In struction, with a seat in the House of Commons ; that it should be liberally aided by Govern ment grants, loans and allowances, proportioned to local efforts and educational results ; and that it should be assisted by existing endowments being placed in commission. It is not the alleged superior technical education obtainable on the Continent that has chiefly caused the absorption of the English silk trade by foreign manufacturers. The much cheaper cost of labour in France, Germany, and Switzerland gives the manufacturers of those countries an im mense and increasing advantage. The combinations, or trade unions, in this country have not only affected wages or the price of labour, and in many cases have thereby driven capital, trade and manu factures to foreign countries, but have also interfered disastrously in crushing the talent and ability of the artisan, and causing in many instances an unnatural and fatal mediocrity in design and execution. No amount of technical education can counteract this baneful influence until the manu facturer with his capital can be permitted to pay for labour according to its real value, which he is now prevented from doing by the action of trade unions. The restoration of the apprenticeship system, which enabled the artisan to be regularly and completely educated in his art by the experienced workman with whom he was daily engaged, is a necessity to be kept constantly in view. But, beyond all these facts, there is yet the great question of foreign tariffs. Unfair tariffs and difficulties relating to capital and labour must be borne in mind when alleged continental excellence in technical education and skill is under discussion." Till: REPRESENTATION OF ARGYLESIIIRE. — In con !ecinnce of l'ar.

THE BISHOP OF CAPETOWN. The Bishop of Capetown has circulated, in print, the correspondence which has taken place between himself and the archbishops and bishops on the subject of the con secration of a new bishop for Natal. To the Bishop of London, addressing him as " My dear lord," ho says— " Your letter of Jan. 20 reached me a day after its first appearance in the Times, with a leading article in support of it." Having argued the question at great length, he concludes as follows : " I cannot close this letter without one word concerning yourself personally. I must express my pain at the con duct of one whose wry different lot has sheltered Lim from the very severe trials to which the maintainers of the faith in South Africa have for these last few years been exposed ; and from whom they might have expected brotherly sym pathy and support. 1. Because, while you have felt it your duty to reiterate your disclaimers of sympathy with the views of Dr. Colenso, you have, whenever the subject has been in discussion, adopted the course and employed the language which his most skilful advocate would have used, and that often with a vehemence of expression which seemed to betray an eager partisan. 2. Because it is impossible for me not to note the marked difference of your whole conduct and language towards myself, who under circumstances of the greatest difficulty, have been simply endeavouring to discharge conscientiously my bounden duty, often at the cost of much suffering and loss." In reply to the Archbishop of York he says : " You have interposed in a matter which did not cot tern your jurisdiction, and that not without, as it seems to me, unseemly insinuations. You insinuate, first, that the South African bishops contemplated an invasion of your province. What ground, I must ask, have you for such an imputation ? You insinuate that we were acting upon a policy of concealment. What ground, I ask again, have you for this imputation ? We have never contem plated acting in any province without the full consent of its metropolitan, and have concealed nothing on which we had resolved, and from the first have opened freely our whole case to thb Church at home. Being in full commu nication with the Archbishop of Canterbury, I know of no reason why I should have made any special communi cation to the Archbishop of York." He then proceeds to reply to the several points raised in his Grace's letter seriatim. The following are the principal portions of the Bishop of Capetown's final letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury :-- " I submit my proceedings as to the consecration of an 3rthodox Bishop of Natal at this time, whether in England or Scotland, to your grace's judgment, feeling that I ought not in this country to act without the hearty consent and support of the Primate of All England. So long as your Grace had no objection to offer to our consecrating within your province or diocese, or in Scotland, I was prepared to proceed, without hesitation, to the consecration. But as your Grace, upon fuller information, deems it to be the course of Christian wisdom to postpone the act, I ac quiesce. Your Grace, I am fully persuaded, feels thegravity of the present crisis. The opposition of those bishops to whose objections your Grace has thought it right to yield seems to me to remove the responsibility of delaying this consecration from the South African to the Home Episco pate. Upon the course which the bishops of the mother Church shall now take must depend the unity of the Church:of England herself and her own standing in Christ's kingdoin. It is that Church which is now really on its trial at the bar of Christendom. Her greatest synod has declared that Dr. Colenso's teaching contains ' errors or the greatest and most dangerous character, subversive o faith in the Bible as the Word of God.' At her call, and by the urgent counsel of her whole episcopate assembled in Westminster five years ago, he has for these errors been tried and deposed by the bishops of South Africa, and separated from the communion of the whole Church. I do not myself understand what further action is con templated by those bishops, who, your Grace informs me, have counselled this delay, since the Convocation of Canter bury has already, in delivering its judgment on this matter, ruled ' that the acceptance of a new bishop by the Church in Natal would not involve any loss of communion between it and the mother Church,'. ' would not impair the con nection, or alter the relations existing between the mem bers of the Church in the province of Natal and the Church of England, provided the bishop be canonicaliy consecrated,' and certain other conditions observed. It was upon this judgment of Convocation that the South African Church has acted, The conditions have been ful filled, the bishop chosen and presented to your Grace' as desired, and accepted by you. The bishophas been before. hand recognised by the Church of England's highest synod. He has been recognised in spirit, if not in express words, by the great Anglican Conference lately assembled in your Grace's palace at Lambeth. I shall wait with trembling in common with tens of thousands of its most devoted members, for some synodal decision which may rescue the Church of England from the false position in which some of its bishops have placed it. Should no further action be taken, it would, I fear, leave the Church of England burdened with the alliance of heresy, by the et durance of the deposed heretic as a bishop in communion with itself. Whatever the decision of the bishops of the Church of England may be, the duty of the Church in South Africa is clear. It is bound, if it can, to provide a faithful pastor for the souls of the people entrusted to-its care, and, God helping, I trust on my return to my pi ovince, with the aid of my co-provincials to be able to consecrate there. We hold that the maintenance of the faith is the first and highest duty of every Church ; that that duty must be pre. ferred before any other consideration, and that nothing can release us from the obligation to discharge that duty at the Present crisis." FIRE IN THE BOROUGH. --At about half-put one o'clock this morning a fire broke out in Union-street, and spread so rapidly as to endanger several private houses. It seemed likely that the houses would be entirely de stroyed.
