and laity of the church in Natal, deeply fool the didicultise
ceder which we labour, in consequence of the cooduct of
Bishop Cameo. We see no means of their speedy removal
except the appointment of another bishop. Should this

that you will signify the same to us, end that you will mark
it by selecting for as a man to be oar bishop whom the
Metropolitan may conesorate, sad to a bishop so elated sad
consecrated we promise joyfully to pay all dm obedience.
This

The Rev. Dr. CALLAWAT then proposed, end the Bev. F.
S. SOBINOON secooded, the following amendment
"Whereas groat and laudable anxiety exieta in the hearts
of the members of the church guerally, lest in their pre-
sent painful position soy steps should inadvertently betaken
which should in any way operate them from the mother
church in Eagbod ; and whereas we, the undersigned,
being deeply cossaioss of the great lass to the church in the
colooy, from the want of • spiritual head—Resolved,
That we pray the Lord Motroptan to Melee us on the
following points:-1. Whether the aotoptiooe of • new
bishop on oar part whilst Bishop Ooleoeo still maim the
letters patent of the mown, would in any way saver as from
the mother church in England. 2. Sappaing the reply to the

ration of the gravity of the circumstances and of Bishop
Coleus', having been consecrated by the Lord Archbishop of
the Province of Canterbury,.first to take causal with the
other Bishops in South Africa, end then to solicit the opi-
nion of the Convocation of the Province of Cants/bury on
the questions submitted."
Mr. PINSON then proposed, end Mr. Earrwoon wended,
the following amendment :—" That we, the undersigned,
object to any course praying the Archbishop of Canterbury
to select a man to be our bishop whom Bishop Gray may
°mama's, as sack prayer is opposed in our belief to the
royal prerogative."
Mr. WALTHIN then proposed, and the Bev. Mr. LLOYD
seconded, the following amendment :—" That we, the
msciersigeed, molder it expedieet that • petition be Peer
mitwd to her Majesty the Q410410' settle( forth the evils
to which this diocese is subjected, from the fact that so
episoopil jurisdiction or acknowledged authority now entail

Judicial Committee declares that the letters patent out"
no
jurisdiction which can be enforced by law • whilst, at
the same time, the clergy, and some of the laity, have
refused all voluntary subscriptioos to John William Odom,
D. D., styled by her Majesty's letters petcock Lord Iliac,
of Natal ; and prints; her Majesty, is virtue of her rupee-
may in matters ecclesiastical, to take steps far relieving
the clergy sad laity of the diocese from the perplexities
sad antonomasias of their present position."
The Rev. W. 0. NIWNHAY then proposed, sod Dr. COE.
DON secostied, the following amendment:—" That as the
late decisions of the Privy Council, is the coos of the
` Bishop of Natal v. the Bishop of Capetows ' determined
only a question of juriedicOm. and as the DU, of Bishop
Dolma has therefore not yet been tried coo ills own merits
by a legally constituted court. sod ea it is mot important
to have the said ease so tried, and andenteating that this
can be effected only by the crown issuing a ommission for
that purpose, it is resolved that we, the undersigned,
clergy sad lay members of the church of Ragland io Natal,
do hereby earnestly petition the Qum to mu* such corn-
mission."
The Rev. Mr. W•Lrow then proposed the following
amendment : —" That should it appear desirable that a new
bishop should be appointed to this see of Natal, we, the

elect to that office any clergyman within the province of
Canetown."
The lest amendment was lost by a division of 18 to 1' ;

The Orsthasulown Journal*: July 19 thus writes upon
the intention of the Bishop to return to Natal :
"Any doubt that existed whether Dr. Wens" would
return to his diocese is dispelled by the publicans) of his
address to the clergy and laity. That considerable doubt
wes entertained on this point there can be no gnos-
tic*. The attitude of the clergy and Dr. Coleno's
protracted absence sufficiently amounted for it. The
elergy of Hotel, with ooe or two exceptions, 'were
to his sentimeots on matters which they con-
ceived vitally affect their religions faith, and bad pro-
ceeded so far in the expressioo of hostility as to sign •
protest declarative of • fixed determionin
cogaise him as bishop ; and from his lengthened absence
there appeared little probability of his again troubling
either them or 'the moaning Lab' with his presence.
Whatever exception may be taken to the doctor's opinions,
his moral courage admits of no question whatever. It was
a bold step for a bishop of the mieopal church to
write and publish matimeots opposed to the orthodox
notions generally received io that communion; it is a step
little less bold to rotors to his diocese, with an intention
of resuming isecleeiestioal functions. The bishop and his
legal advisers are satisfied. however, whatever the metro-
politan may affirm to the contrary, that the way is open, in
• legal sense, for his reentry upon the oduletretsons so louse
interrupted. ' Yoa will have hesz' states Dr. Coleus* in
his address, ' that the Ooeuell of the Colmial Bishoprics
Fund has ignored the recent decision of her Majesty is
Council, so far as to refuse to par the arrears of my
episcopal income, which they have withheld from April 1,
1854. This has canned an unexpected delay in my re-
turning to my duties, sa I have been obliged, io coon-
queers, to file a bill in Chancery, in order to compel pay-
meat ; end I had reason to fear that I might be detained
in England by the slow proems of this trial perhaps for
some months longer. A generous Eindish feeling. however,
has not allowed this advantage to be takes of me who
would bare been otherwise powerless to resist such op-
pressive proceedings. And by the aid of my fellow-
countrymen, in support of the mint decision of the Privy
Council, I am now enabled to say that I trust. God
e fling, to sail for Natal by the first opportunity.'
The generous English feeling alluded to by the bishop was
exhibited in a public subscription sersountine to fifteen hun-
dred pounds, in which Sir James Clark, Sir Charles Lyell,
Professor Jowett, and others participated. This has en-
couraged Dr. Colonso in the erratic coarse he has tans. sod
ambled him to resolve upon revisiting Natal. It would be
hotter for the interests of the dsuroh of England in Natal
if the bishop were influenced by a differeot determination ;
but, as the contrary is the men we may glance a moment
at his legal status, as determined by the recent
judgment of her Majesty's Privy Council. Dr.
Ooleoso is of opinion, and is supported in it y
eent
legal authorities, that determining the status of bishop
appointed by letters patent in a colony mooning represen-
tative institutions ' is to declare the bishop to be the legally
appointed head of a voluntary association of person, lay
and clerical, who have agreed to be governed by the laws of
the united church of England and Ireland. The bishop, if
proceedings should be instituted before him against an
clergyman, is bound to observe, so far Se Ci1C41118.11.00e6 will
allow, the laws and usages of that church, sod in
deciding in any case he mnet conform himself to
the judgments prononeeed from time to time by
her Majesty In Conocil se supreme head of the church of
Eoglisoil. His decision may be reviewed on appeal to the
metropolitan, as that of any bishop in Eogland may be re-
viewed in the court of his metropolitan ; but the deformi-
ties's-1i of the metropolitan must likewise be reversed by
the same laws. usages, sod jadesseats, sod will be subject
to review by the Qum In Council. Further, the civil
mart of tai colony dose csus enforce a penalty
by the ersolesiestioal authority, and thus there w again be
an ultimate appeal in any ease to the mown.'
If the doctor's opinion be moved, and in the
face of the Wel authorities onl, which it is
bred there is not much room for hesitation, the
boldness of the stayy he is taking is still mere evident. He
will resume his epheopa duties with the esetnety of en-
centering Manacles from the dery and leansr his
