Till TRIAL OP BISHOP COLENSO.

The trial of Bishop Coleus.) for false and erro-
neous teaching in his published works began on November
17, in St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town. the court con-
sisting of the Metropolitan Bishop of Cape Tows, trod two
suffragan*, the Bishop of Graham's Tows and the Bishop
of the Grasse Free State. The accusing clergy, the Dan
of Cape Town and the Archdeacon. of Otahasn's Town and
George, were present to support the charges preferred. Os
the sort of Bishop Coleus*, Dr. Bleck, the curator of the
Grey Library, attended, and read a letter from his lordship
denying the jurisdiction of the court; subsequently the
doctor headed in a formal protest against the p • gs.
It was oesteoded, however, that though the Bishop of
Natal does sot actusily put in an appearance, he lass
messily plaided to the charges brought against him.
First, in a letter written soon after the appearance of hi
Irssalatioo of the Epistle to the Romans, in which he re.
plies to some objections to that work op the part of the
Bishop of Cape Town ; and secoudly, in the preface to the
third part of his critical examination of the Pentateuch and
the Book of Joshua, to which he sow refers as answering
any objections that may be urged against the two former
parts. The trial at the Cipc war expected to extend over
several days. and the decisive adjudication as to the ques-
tioned jurisdiction of the metropolitan, and os the merits of
the charges to be Goan, looked for some two or three years
hence at the hands of the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council.

The Advertuter and Mail says :—" The promadinp as
a erboie have hitherto been conducted with much dignity
and remarkable fairness, while the arguments entered into
by the accusal clergy, and especially that of the Dean of
Cape Town, have been no less masterly than elaborate,
and distinguished throughout by a power and grasp of
theological thought which reflect the highest credit en
their authors, and which, when widely circulated among the
public, will prove an admirable corrective to the shallow
and ;eductive, though Tittering and specious, theories
against which they are direetrd.'.
The Cape In us says .—" The speech of the Dean of Cape
Town, m supped of the charges preferred, was very eloquent
and forcible, and characterised by deep research and great
ability. There has been nothing in the proceeding, not in
aooonlance with the strictest justice end fairness. What.
ever may be the Mine of this trial, we may at lust venture
to my that the subject has been gone into with an ability
and a depth of research not unworthy eves of the Mother
Church."

THE LATE LORD ELGIN AND THE INDIAN
CLIMATE. —A Caleartta oorrescisat writes : " Dr.
Macrae end Dr. Cleghorn have n in attendance on the
dying viceroy at Inurmsala, where he expressed a wish to
be buried. It is loss since the doctor, declared emphatically
that there was so hops. Deep Is the sympathy with Lady
Elgin, who had sot recovered from the blow of her boy's
death when her husband was laid low. There can be no doubt
that, not only in asceuding to so high an altitude as the
Rosins pass, 11,000 feet, but in hiking long walks and scram-
bling over difficult routes in the Himalayas, Lead Elgia
was impnideot, bat he has only precipitated a disease
which must sootier or Later have carried him off in any
climate, just as in the cam of Mr. James Wilms. There
is so reason for the panic which the Viosroy's death is sure
to oression among the governing class In England. Up till
Lord Dalhousie's time the Viceroys were as healthy as if
they bad been in the tropics. That nobleman cams
out to India early in life, and subject ban hereditary tom-
plant ; but ho worked as never man did for eight years.
He refused to go home two years after his doctor had
wanted him of the consequences, and he accepted, in the
spirit of a patriot, the task of annexing Oude, which the
catiset imposed upon him. Lord Canning worked for
six years, and is such times! A cold caught in crossing
the English Channel developed the seeds of liver complaint
undoubtedly might in India, but with care he might have
lived long. la appointing a governorgeneral to India it
should be laid down as a rule that oo man shell be seat out
above 40. At that age, and with ordinary hard work for
live years, a enemy's chance of life is as good is lodia as
alnewlseris. It is not the hest but the rains which kill men
who land ia lied% late is life, and from the rains the viceroy
ms always weeps tea great extent, while the sae under 40
ass defy them. Ito Maine has bad better health in India
than ever be bed in England."

THE Lars FIGHT BETWEEN NINA AND

-lisliVir:

Yesterday morning the informations that ha I
bees laid epithet the principals, seconds, and abettors, and
others in the recent contest between King and Hausa, came
es for bearing before the magistrates sitting in petty sugar
at the justice room at Aar mar Wadlituth The
justices present were ileum. Donald )rely (ebeierra), E.
Halsey, H. Diem, E. W. Smyth, W. C. Meilend, G. Field,
and the Hoc. F. G. Moque:. The defendants
upon being celled assercred as follows: Thomee
King, John Carmel Heiman, Thomas Sayers,
James Mace, John Calvin Noce (alias Jerry Noon),
Jobs Tyler (alias Boa Tyler), Robert Travers, John
, Macdonald, William Richardson. and William l'rsetoe.
Edward Smith did Dot sourer, and Inspector allegretto, who
had served the other summonses, stated, in reply se the
beech, that be had delivered the summons at the piece of
business of Edward Smith, Bell's Life in London othes, in
the Strand, and lied been told he would be there in the
afternoon. Hessen appeared somewhat weak from the

propriety. Mr. Beard apposed for all the &feu-
, dente, except Heenan, Sajem, and Macdonald,
who were not professionally represented Mr. 'limp-
goo, dark of the IMAM haVilig read the inhumation,
Mr. Beard said, on behalf of the defendants for whom he
appeared, that be might point out, firth, as far es King
was emeeerned, that it was not his Daiwa= to light any
more, and that be thought that the ends of jostles wield be
fully Wield if he was bound over to keep the poem The
ether defendonts would also enter into similar IVOOVIli•OC416
sod web the adjacent county (Kent) it bad been considered

ramekier that would be suflitient. Hems also assured the
teesheweee that with Stymy and Macdonald he would enter
into musties that would be neassaary, wed far his
own pave he did not inlaid to fight again.
The (Uknfill observed that the object was not
so meek to punish the defeedants as to deter others front
following their example, and the beech doubting the effi-
cacy of the plan suggested by Mr. Beard, felt that they must
Ame with the case. Sound intimates having deposed to
the feet of the defendanta, except Richardson and PrelltMl/2
who were discharghd, baring bees prevent at the fight, Mr.
Beard addressed the beach on behalf of the defendants he
represented. He again urged that the ends of justice
would be fully satisfied if they were bound over as he had
taken leave to suggest at the cleating of the aim Whatever
the feelings of the Sergi magistrates might be in the matter
it was quite dear that great favour and countenance wee given
in certain high quarters to men in the position of tth dden-
danta, and some allowance ought therefore to be made far
those who, rising iovariably from a most humble and obscure
position in life, were made so much of by those who so largely
supported them. No one could fail to me that persona of
reek and portion did attend such fight; and that was an
miditioul reason which should iudece the bench to deal
lightly with times who had been selected for punishment.
riesarnißeard) was not there to say that they were right in
the law, but when the bench considered the cues
the wee before them, he felt bound to urge that reliant*
might fairly be placed upon their pruning that they would
not further Imagers's. AU England bad been into-
reeked in the contest between King and Hewn, and an
equal interest had been manifested in America with regard
to Mace ; he was not unknown to fame as a pugilist of high
menu, combined with civil and forbearing conduct ; and
all the others equally with him had se wader:led themselves
in their vocatioe as to have found friends to become sure-
ties for their future good behaviour, more especially with
regard so King. He (Mr. Beard) was requested to my
that King, having arrived at the top of the tree,
would fight so more, and there could, therefore, be
no fear of his offending in like manlier again.
He concluded by appealing to the magistrates for their
forbearance in the administration cf the law, and on re-
suming hie seat wee loudly applauded by a very crowded
court. The defendant Heenan aid—Gentlemen, as to
Sayers and myself, I am not in a state of health to enter
into the rig. again, lied, if I was, I certainly should not
fight apia in this country, sad for Sayers, we an both
willing so enter into any recognismoes that will satisfy you
that we should Deter do this again. The defendant Mac-
donald mid he was willing to enter into the sureties which
Mr. Beard had suggested. After gime cousultetion, the
chairman of the bench said—We have considered
this case earefally, not only the evidence but
also the observations, so ably mad* by Mr. Beard, oe
behalf of sonie of the defendants, as well as
the case of those who are not leg-illy represented. We feel
that in this cake the parties should all be booed over to
answer any charge that may be preferred egainst them at
the quarter sessions. We do not is what they
have done there was anything • sly reprehensible;
but persons cannot commit acts with impunity.
Thus persona will he summoned before some tribunal
which will deal with them according to the evidence which
will be adduced. The defendants must each enter into
their own sureties of :i0(, and find had to the extent of
501. to appear at the next quarter sessioos to answer any
iadictmeet for misdemeanour that may be preferred against
them. The required bail was then metered into, and the
defendants were liberated.

STEAMBOATS LID PEITZ FIOSITS.—At the last
weekly petty session, held at Dartford, the superin-
tendent of the Waterman's Steam Packet Company
appeared for the directors to answer a summons, at
the iodises of the Board of Trade. charging the de-
feodaste with illegally conveying passengers in the
Gannet steam vowel, to a point further tiles that foe
which the vessel was duly licensed. It appeared that on
the 16th September the Ganuct embarked two pugilists
named Robert■ and Morrison, with a number of their ad-
herents, who landed at a poet below Gravesend, when a
fight took place. The Gannet is licensed to convey pas-
sessors from London to Gravesend only. The bench inflicted
a rise of 40s. and 54 costs.

THE LATE SALE OP LORD STAMFORD'S STUD.

Argue of the Post writes :—" The difficulties
attendant on the late sale of Lord Stamford, I am happy
to state, ham terminated ; the °occluding act of the drama
being the withdrawal of Lord St. Vieoent's elann and the
payment by Captain White this (Turnditl) evening of the
whole of the purchase-money to Meters. Tattersall, who at
once handed him over an order for the delivery of Cam-
human, Archimedes, sod Lysander. Under ordinary ciroum-
Minces the affair might be compressed into a couple of lines,
but the excitement the trams: foe has created being the
talk of every clubroom in the oouatry, dunands a more es-
larged account of the proceedings. Early this morning the
respective solicitors of Lord St. Vincent and Memel. Tat-
tersall met by appointment at the office of the latter. At first
them appeared to he little chance of the solution of the
difficulty being acne to io an amicable manner, and war
was imminent ; for the captain, sho did not on this occa-
sion verify the adage of 'having a fool for his client,'
brought to the advocacy of his side of the question all the
turf experience and legal lore, and, coupled with the ex-
oellence of his delivery. he held his own all the way,
arid certainly went on his merits. His opponent ran quite
as stoat, but in the midst of the contest • cessation of
hostilities took place by Lord St. Vincent telegraphing to
Mr. Graham, his solicitor, to withdraw his claim, leaving
therefore the captain in possession of the field as well as
the horses. Some routine telegraphing followed, and all
being made etrsigbt, the crowning meet of Captains White's
wonderful career on the turf occurred, by his giving, in
nice and clean Dotes, 4,30 M. for Carebuernn, the two-year-
old ;'1,9(01. for the yearling Aichimedes, and 190 guineas
for Lysander, another yearling. Who, therefore, attar this
will my that Macaroni was not • gocd horse? It seems,
however, that the Eon. Admiral Row used his good offices
with Lord St. Vincent to come to au 'minable arrange-
ment with Lord Standard, and so prevent the public crpoei
of a quarrel between two of his own order, which would na-
turally lead to the Jockey Club being brought before the
world, in a mart disagreeable manner, at • time when, by the
acts of some of their officials, it had attained a degree of
unpopularity unknown since its constitution. The sp.
plication, backed by others of a similar nature, Lord et.
Vincent's kind-hearted disposition could not withstand ;
and. by yielding so gracefully aid promptly to it, he is de-
serviag of every praise, and has raised himself still higher
in the estimation of the racing world. For, bad the trial
I been proceeded with, there is no knowing where the mis.
chief arising from it would have terminated, and the results
might have been more disastrous than are contemplated Dy
'the ordinary looker-on. In taking !rave of this quesaioi,
can only express • hope tldit a similar one may not arise
again and that the knowledge of the phrase ' without re-
serve may be better understood than it seems to have been
at Newmarket name three weeks back. That Lord Stem-
ford has seen his mistake I am quite sure, and that Lord St.
Vincent and Mr. Naylor are satisfied of it, is beet proved
by the withdrawal of their claims ; the one at hie personal
request, and the other with • view to mama his being
embroiled is • course of expensive liticitios."

Tits CRAWLS! COURT-MARTIAL. —We believe
that the moult of the courtmartial at Mansholt is likely to
be rude hams almost immediately. Clammily speaking,
in elutes where the pnamediags are protracted and the evi-
dence voluminous, a period of some week. between the deci-
sion and it. promulgation is a to amble the Judge
Advocate-Galena to review the who with the ..Eject of
determining the legal validity of the trial. But in the pre-
seM Inatome the constant and careful attention given to the
ems by Mr. Hoodlum will serve to prevail any such delay.
The finding wan formally completed yeetenlay ; it will be
at mos submitted for her liviesty's approval, sad very pro-
bably it will be publicly announced to the comae of a day or
two. The notes says :—" The exact terms of the Sad-
ie/ are for the prompt a secret. hat it is pretty well
uoderstried that the court to.lt a favourable view of Colonel
Cra why's madam, makiva ample allowance for the eireum•
stances is which he was placed."
