RIBROP COLID7BO'B SALARY. —The merits of the
question may be very simply illustrated. The analogy
between the Church and an army is familiar enough.
In that army a bishop occupies the position of a general
officer. Let us suppose that at the hottest period of •
campaign a general goes over for a few months' "boll-
'lays to the enemy's forces, SAM vigorously on their
side, and does—always by way if relaxation—ths.
utmost possible injury to the muse he has left. His
holiday over, the general returns to his post, his pockets
filled with the enemy's gold, and openly avowing his
intention of using hie command to the utmost possible
limit in the enemy's service. Ile is tried by court-
martial, and sentenced to dismissal, but by some
anomalous authority, the civil power intervenes, and
restores him to his poet. The question is as to the
honesty of his claire for pay during the trine his superior
officer was doing his work, and he himself fighting in the
hostile ranks. We should be sorry to think that, even
with the pre.ient Court of Final Appeal, there could be
any chance for such !ago honesty m this. But we do
not think that this need be feared. The endowment
wee granted for a Church of England Bishop of Natal.
By the deprivation of his Metropolitan, he is interdicted
In the one oharacter, whilst the self invoked aid of the
Privy Council judgment annihilates Ws very existence
as the other. In what character he is to appear before
the courts to prosecute his present claim we
are at no slight lima to understand.—Cherch and Stale
Review for Sept enter.

ST/IPATHISICREI WITH Da. OOLINBO.—The Church-
man threatens Deans /Noun and Stanley with legal
proceedings for their syuipathy with Bahop Colenao.
They have come forward," it saye, "publicly in his
support and favour. Hence it is evident that them men
intuit be held identified with the infidel and condemned
doctrines of this notorious apostate from the Christian
faith, until they duly and regularly purge theinselves
from any complicity with his guilt. They cannot be
acquitted until they have made due sntiefactiou for their
offence by pronouncing condemnation of Colenso as a
notorious infidel, and entreating pardon for the en-
couragement they lave given to him, and the scandal
they have mused to all Christians in so doing. How
can this be properly mid regularly done? By citing
them before Convocation on the charge of suspected
faith, grounded on the public and notorious fact of the
Colenso subecription and meeting, end the scandals
caused thereby. If they refuse to appear. Convocation
could proceed to expel them from its body, and to
suspend them ab officio, on penalty of deprivation if
they presume to officiate. If they appear, they can be
compelled to subscribe a recantation and submission
under the same penalties. Convocation might net at
naught any threatened appeal from its decision, and the
attempt to appeal would involve deposal, ipso facto,
Irons office and benefice."

has offered the vicarage of Caine, Wilts' ire, which re-

EINEM? COLENBO v. THE CHANCELLOR Or THR
EXCHEQUER AND OTHER/3. -It has been stated that Dr.
Coleus°, Bishop of Nat'l, bas filed a bill in Chancery
against the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Attorney.
General the Arebbishopof Canterbury, Vice-Chanoellor
Page Wood, Mr. Hubbard, and others, seeking to com-
pel them to pay over the amount of his salary from the
Colonial Bishopric, Fund, which has been withheld
during the last two years. The defendants in the case
have filed their answer, and have fully set out the cit.-
curustanoes under which the fund was formed. In
Jane, 1853, the council of the fund appropriated a
capital actin of £lO.OOO for the est.blishment of the
Bishopric of Natal, and Dr. Colenso was nominated
bishop by the Doke of Newcastle, who was then
Colonial Secretary. The defendants urge that they had
nothing to do with the appointment of Bishop Colenso.
Having adverted to the letters patent and the recent I
judgment of the Ja licial Committee of Privy Council,
the defendants say in their answer, "We are advised
that in accordance with the fetid judgment the letters
patent are null and void so far as they purport to create
any diocese, or to confer any legal jurisdiction or
authority on the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff has no
power to exercise the function of a bishop in the oolony
of Natal, or, at all events, has no jurisdiction as a
bishop in the colony, and is not himself subject to the
jurisdiction of the Bishop of Cape Town as his Metro-
politan, or to any other spiritual or ecclesiastical
jurisdiction whatever; and we submit that if such ie
the ease the objects for which the funds herein before,
mentioned were subscribed and invested have not been
obtained, which objects were in the first place to secure
the pastoral care of a bishop for the clergy and people
of the diocese of Natal, and in the second place to bring
such bishop under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan,
,1 himself being subject to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
And we declare our belief that none of the contributors
tothe ColonialßishopricsFundintended to contributeto-
-1 wards the support of a bishop such as the judgment of the
'Judicial Committee of Her Majesty's Privy Connell has
decided the plaintiff to be—that is foggy, a bishop with-
' out any jurisdiction over his clergy on the one hand,
and entirely independent of all metropolitan juris-
diction on the other." The defendante proceed to
allege that the clergy of the diocese of Natal have
refused obedience to Bishop Colette° ; that one of the
fundamental principles of all arrangemente for the
erection and endowment of colonial bishopries was the
maintenance and preservation of strict connection in
do trine and discipline between such bishops and the
United Church of England and Ireland ; that all the
Archbishops and Bishops of such Church are trustees
for the endowment of the see of Natal, and, as auch,
are authorised to withhold the income from the plaintiff.
The CASO will be argued before Sir John Romilly, in the
Bolls Court. at the oommentiewent or the forthcoming
Michaelmas term.
