The large and beautiful &urea of Ht. Martin's,
Bradley, was ormsearated yesterday by the new Bishop of
Leehhold. You many of the magregation, Mike aloes of
the esertee, partook of huseheon, which had been provided
* the egmelous oehooleeem. Coespietrous amongst the
daeortaislos of the room was the matimeat, " A hearty
Peilleillie to one Bishop," which, in large geld letters on •
bier gieerad, stretched across the wall at the upper end of
the apartment Mr. Marne Hemline prided, and he
was supported by the bishop, the archdeacon, Sir John Mor-
ris. Mr. Loaidele, end others. Mr. Williamson discharged
the duties of chairman, at Mt. Baldwin's request. After ee-
-1 pressiag that gentleman's peat mtidaotion at seeing so
many persons around him, with, also, his gratitude that,
notwithstanding be had arrived at the age of upwards of
eiehte, still he had been spared to see the desire of his life
asseneillialied, Mr. Williamson gave the toast of the •
"Qom.' Sir John Monis gave that of the "Bishop."
la din so Sir John excited • prolonged burst of applause,
elms Maid that it should be • matter of anxious prayer
ea the pert of God's people when • bishop had to be
appointed, " that whoever might be selected to strengthen
their church should be, in all senses of the word, bishops
of the Reformation in England."
The BISHOP, on rising to respond, was received with
much cheering. After some preliminary observations his
lordship said—When he went out, twenty-six years ago to
New Zealand, it was with much more freedom of
-mid Man Nese with whisk be Sow anderessirlem duties
of his new diocese. New Zealand was an untried field as •
bishopric, although, as missionaries without a Mabee, may
earnest men had laboured there for many years. He, how-
ever, had not when he went to New Zealand to follow • man
who was revered and gifted like the Bishop of Lichfield.
As • young man he looked up to Bishop Londe'e as
one than whom there was no one more highly respected.
(Applause.) And down to the very last time wheelie saw
that *merited prelate—at the church congress—that same
sentiment made him Tagged BishopLonsdale re a manwho,
perhaps, above all others, be venerated, and took for an
example. (Applause.) To follow such a one would have
been •• most overwhelming responsibility if he had followed
him by any choice. By any choice of his own he could
not have undertaken it. Not that he wished them to
understand that he came there with any unwilling-
ness. He came there with the same willingness as that
with which he first went to New Zealand. (Applause.)
He had had no desire either to mark out or to choose his
owe path ia ties ministry. (Renewed applause.) Often he
bad been surprised at so much being said of the sacrifices
of missionaries, when so little was said of those of others.
Nothing during the early wars in New Zealand had struck
his attention more than again and again seeing gallant
young men serving in the army and navy—men of
family sad of education, who might have stayed at
home, and enjoyed there all the luxuries and the
ease which these could procure, yet who bad gone out and
had readily engaged in the very arduous and perilous
duties peculiar to their respective avocations. It seemed
to him at that time most extraordinary that there should
be so much glorification and talk about the missionary
enterprise, es if that was the only ono in which sacrifices
were endured. On those wild heights the warlike natives
were confronted, and their positions were occupied, by
men of the highest social standing and influence at home
all without pecuniary profit or personal advantage.
(Applause.) They went out, he supposed, because
they were commanded to go—(applause)—and ouch
was the real feeling in connection with the minis-
terial duty. (Renewed applause.) And he con-
fessed that when her Majesty with kindly
consideration for his feelings, gave him the blackest por-
tion of her dominions—(laughter)—lie felt it rather • relief
than otherwise, (Applause.) He felt that it could not be
imputed to him that he had selected that diocese for its
peculiar natural beauties. (Renewed laughter.) But he
had quite expected to find many moral beauties in it.
(Applause.) He should he quite willing to work in the
black country with all the heart, and soul, and strength
with which God had blessed him. (Applause.) He would
come at any time when he could assist. (Renewed
applause.) He did not at all times, however, desire
tomake his presence amongst them an occasion of convisial
meeting, though he took part in those things occasion-
ally just to keep up the old Anglo-Saxon usage—(langhter)
—which seemed necessary for people in this day. What
be should desire when he mane amongst them was that
they should have • missionary meeting. or eervices for the
working claims, or some other obsertnnoe that would show
that the purpose for which they met was something dif-
ferent from the meetings of the ordinary men of the
world. (Heir.) He did not object to these things now
and then, and he heartily participated in the kindness
which was then being shown to ti
nim ; but in
some way, each entertainments did ot seem to
hit at the root of the matter. (Hear, hear.)
Pointing to the sentiment behind him, Bishop Selwyn said
that be felt that this was indeed " a hearty welcome "to
their " bishop." (Applause.) He responded to it with all
his heart and he thanked them for the exceeding cordiality
with which they hod met him that day ; and he trusted
it would be only a prelude to the cordiality with which
they should meet on all occasions when they could benefit
one another. (Applause.) Not that they must expect too
much work from him. When he was taking leave of his
friends in New Zealand, and they were asking him if he
should return to them, one reason he gave for inducing them
to believe that he ehould return wee that in England they
were not likely to give a great deal for • man who bad spent
26 years of his life in IMITSIOS in New :endured. Sir John
Morris had expressed • kind wish that he (their bishop)
might be spared amongst them for many years. (Applause.)
With that he had nothing to do. Ho could not look
*yowl the present moment. As far is Ood gave him
strength, be was quite prepared to devote the whole
of that measure of strength which God might be pleased
to give him in their service in that diocese. (Applause.)
There was, however, this reservaion —that be must pry
off Isis debt to New Zealand. He wound up his watch
there for may twelve menthe That time would won
have expired. He must then return to that distant
colony, and heeling handed over the diocese to hie sue-
-0•1100f, and performed various duties connected with his re-
mama, be hopedtoreturn at about the beginning of IWO and
devote the remainder of his life and all his heart to their
service. (Loud applause.) Hinton was not a country with
which he waa altegetberunacquainted. When a boy he used to
pow through it six times every year in the old Shrewsbury
Union coach. (A laugh.) Many were the nights during
which he looked at thaw blazing firm, and the furnaces all
around, thinking, as be did so, that they were an extraor.
dinary kind of men who lived amongst them—perfect sala-
manders, to exist in the midst of =eh fire. (Laughter.)
He bad now come amongst them to find that they had not
mile hot furnaces, but also very warm hearts. (L
heaoudlth of

t) Hie lordship concluded by proposing the
uss.
sissaissa (Mr. Williamson) to whose exertions, in
esenanion with the liberality of Mr. Baldwio, they owed
the enteldhibment of the church which they had that day
dedicated to Almighty God. He did this, he said, most
heartily. (The mast was drunk with much cheering.)
Mr. Wietrauscar, in rereading, said that Bradley was
surely a sienionsry parish, for when be MM. MOW*
ihelll he found that it was " given over " to dissent, to the
Wesespiem the primitive methodists, and the lis ens*. But
whilst, eligible came toßradloy,which he never visited until
