doors of the institution when he expired from lam of
Wool, syncope, as the medical officer of the Hospital, ex-
plained, having set in with great rapidity from the lowcondi-
lion of deceased's system. The appearance of the doomed
exhibited a deplorable state of destitution. He was well
known in Dover, although lost sight of here for • non-
sidarable period, being a sou of the late Captain Bushell,
the owner of the first steam packets plying between Dover
and Calais—the Britannia and the Wellington. The
deceased was articled to one of the local solicitors sad
subsequently practised on his own account. He left
Dover, however, some fivoend-twenty years ego, sad
afterwards gave way to habits of dissipation. For the
last three years he had bees in London, where he had

THE LATE PROFESSOR A. J. Eiver.—The Scots-
man, in announcing the death of Professor Soott, of Owens
College, et Vevey, Pis :—"htr. Scott was ono of the earli-
est tail ace of the moat powerful of our lecturers in Edin-
burgh. He gave short courses on the Philosophy of His-
tory, of Literature, on Dante, on Mental Philoirmr;y,
&c., and always with distinguished acceptance.
was something in the wan that transcended while it
enriched his words and entranced his hearers—some-
thing that made them feel that, if what reached them
we. good and greet, there was something greater and better
still unroached and there, if it only could be uttered.
Tnere was an exuberance of living, instant thought, and
that of the purest and highest kind, which by its very
richness and fulness prevented its adequate expressiou—
oot that he was a confused or imperfect thinker, or even
cloudy, except such clouds as oar visible heaven must
always have—and his were always in the upper heavens—
at once their glory and its gloom ; but he thought, sad
felt, and was moved at the very moment be spoke, and his
words partook somewhat of the fine confusion of immediate,
formative life."
Bisnors AT THE CAPE.—A correspondent informs
us that, at the meeting of the S. P. G. yesterday, there
was considerable discussion as to the license to be held by
the clergy in the diocese of Natal. The standing committee
were inclined to treat them as simply under their
authority (as in North America, before the consecra-
tion of bishops), but a great number of mem-
bers considered that the clergy should bold the
Metropolitan's license. It being oossidered doubtful
whether the question could be entertained without notice,
it was ultimately postponed till the February meetieg.
As considerable misapprehension prevails as to the
probable coarse that will be adopted by the Bishop
of Cspetowo, we think it desirable to say that there
is no possible doubt but that the Bishop of Cape-
town will follow the line of 000doct of which his
Sj nod approves, that is, he will offer Bishop Colons° to
have his judgment revised by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury or by the Bishops of the United Church. but by no
lay authority. Should Bishop Colones refuse this alter-
native, sod yet continue to exercise his functions as • bishop
the bishop of Capetown will proceed to proisounce the sen-
tence of excommunication which his Synod has approved.—
