THE BISHOPRIC OF NOBWICH.

(From the Rama)
It will be remembered that in the debate on the
Bishop' Resignation Bill, Isstameion, many captious objectiona
were taken by the Bishop of Exeter and Ozford, who led the
opposition to the measure. Amongst other things It was
argued, and so far correctly, that • bishop could only resign
to his metropolitan; elitist, in accordance with the Vitra-
montane denial of the Queen's supremacy, it was added that,
now that we acknowledge no l'ope, an archltiahup could
twigs to no one under heaves.
It was also intimated in the mores of the debate that a
bishop had a spiritual peenige for life, which he could sot
voluntarily resign. This difficulty bas been semis mooted en
the occasion of the resignation of the Bishop of Norwich, but
without any solid ground. It was very confidently asserted
that there has been no ease eine° the Reformation of a volun-
tary resignation of an English bishop. But this is not strictly
correct. In the case of every translation from one me to
neither there is a previous resignation, nut of the office of a
bishop, but of the wee which relinquished, with all its
tights, privileges, and temporalities. The very point some
during the Queen's trial in July, 1820, when Biahop Tomline
was translated from Lincoln to Winchester, on the death of
the father of the present Earl of Guildford. In order to
qualify himself for the see of Winchester it wan necessary for
hint to denude himself of Lincoln. During the interval his
mu was offered, but the Roues of Peer., under the guidance
of Lord Chancellor Eldon, ruled that the bishop was no peer
during the interval between his ceasing to hold Lincoln and
becoming fully installed in Winchester.
The Bight Rev. Dr. Binds therefore ceases to be Bishop
of Norwich from the moment at which his resignation is ac-
cepted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. An act will indeed
be required in order to secure him a pension, but not in order
to denude his lordship of his spiritual peerage, which, being
attached to his office and not to himself, pares from him on
resignation, along with all the other episcopal rights, privi-
leges, and temporalities.

band to be in Baines, and was totally consumed. The pi-
loser wee at owe suspected of having occasioned the tire, and
on her being taken Into custody she, without any honitation,
admitted that she had set the Awe on lire, but did not say
whether she had done it sesi.kntally or not. It wad mug-
grated ea a moths for the commission of the art that a young
girl named Turle, • playfellow of the prisoner, had been
charged before the magistrate with taking away rove portion
of the wood-work of tho shed in question, and that she de-

7113 ABILOVER BURGLAR

At the Derbyshire assizes, on Thursday, Thomas
Wootton was charged before Mr. JuthlceWightmen with the
burglary at the house of the Rev. Joseph Noddle, at Ada-
over, on the 21st of February.
To the groat surpeise of tho court, the prisoner pleaded
guilty to the charge, and
Mr. Justice Wightman, in eentencing dispels:ate, mid—
Prisoner Thomas Wootton, you bays oceekessd yourself
guilty of • most serious burglary, attended with the grated
violence., as appears by the depositions which I have read,
end according to the mode in which you sad your ems-
pinions in guilt made an entry into the hews at the prose-
cutor. The family of the prosecutor might wen the
greatest terror and alarm at the entry of their house is the
dead of the night by • number of men who appeared in dif-
ferent apartments of the house, with their fame blackened to
avoid recognition end identity ; and there appears little doubt
but that for the courageous conduct of the prosecutor, your
utmost end worst designs would have been fully accom-
plished. From what I ese In the Mr.
Nodder exhibited the gteateet courage, and notwith
standing that you bad instruments likely to produce death or
some grievous bodily berm. It appears the pistol which he
discharged at you waa unfortunately loaded only with small
'hot instead of with a bell or slugs, but fortunately it was
discharged lnc manner that left it quite impossible that you
could escape conviction. You have pleaded guilty, end it is
well you have, for there could be no porede chance of your
escaping upon the testimony of the wieldier who would
have be® brought against_ you. I think yea
_see one of
those persons of whose conduct we bans latelylemid ea much.
By • mistaken leniency—by the gnat at • ticket ot have,
you were allowed for • time to avoid serving the fall prod
of 16 years' transportation, which fir a roost mime othmee
you had been previously sentenced. The presort case ii*nrs
what a grievous mistake was made by your being set at
libetty. The sentence of the meet IN that you be tmasported
for 2.5 years beyond the seas. The prisoner received the ma-
Mace with a smiling countenasor.

LIBERIA.

The New York papers contain the followin_g :
Advices from Monrovia, Liberia, to the 12th of hammy,
state that the native. had attacked the coluniats at Cape
Palmas, and destroyed • large ism nog of property, including
two extensive village* situated at the verge of the Cape. The
moue of the difficulty is not stated. One of the coloniataand
several natives were killed. It is also reported that the
Protestant Etinempal Mission school-houses, with the .ration
at Mount Vaugh, had been turn down. They were in charge
of Bishop Payne. This is the first tumult the Capo Palmas
colony has had with the natives from its foundation in the
year 1834. The treaty of commerce and navigation recently
concluded between the Liberian republic and Prams had
been published in full.

After hearing the evidence Mr. Combo aid that the alas
was quite dear, and ho had no Olternativo but to impose the
penalty of 100/. on them or Ma months imprisonment. The
only chino of mitigation would be by

DRAMA.

LYCEUM.

Mr. C. 1)ilion appeared 1:14 night in the part of
Hamlet, and was reeeired by a full home with very Brea'
applause. Hie performabee, on the whole, did much honour
to his talents as a tragedian. Hie reading of the part del
not present sny new or prettier features; he did not appear
to aim at originality, but (more wisely, we think) atkpted
the views of the character whle.h hare been cote-
bashed by his principal predeceesors. His aspect and
bearing were graceful and princely; he spoke Shek-
epearee fine and thoughtful Ituguteem with great intel-
ligence, feeling, and beauty of elocution. In the
impassioned scenes be Inquently displayed gnat power, but
it was charge and subdued, and be certainly Area more than
usually careful not to overstep the tuodeeity of Matti!. But
his act., with all ito merits (sod they were greet) still be-
trayed the fault which we have already had ocewion to
notice: it was too measured, too deliberate, ten unifirmly
slow • and this want of rapidity of movement gave smoothing
of oddness and heaviness to scenes otherwise excellently
acted. As a proof of the elosnimes with which the action
moved, we may mention that the play terminated at a quarter
past eleven o'clock—an hour titer than the initial time. As
a whole, the play wee well performed. Mn. Weston was a
good representative of the Queen; her Arlin, in the closet
mine with her non was exceedingly efieetive. Mr. Barrett
woe an admirable Polonium; and a drhplant, Mr. Mere
Diddle, made a favourable impression in Larne,. Afire
Woolgar's l) helix was one of the finest perfonnences of the
character we have ever seen. It was full of genius and the
Whyte of the mad scene was irremietible. In respect: to
scenery, costumes, and decorations, and all the ainereiries
of the mare, thepler was got up in et rmumer highly creditslele
to the theatre, and it was altogether an entertainment of •
high order.

Ilso ars against the Bank Charter Act may be
sally mused up. It is susceptible of positive proof
that in easy times the obligation imposed upon the
Bank of purchasing at a fixed pricy all the gold pre-

seated to it has a powerful tendency to encourage
illegitimate speculation ; and that in anxious times
the Act precipitates panic, and, if rigorously car-
ried out, would absolutely strangle the trade
of the country, end bring the Bank itself
to a suspension. And yet we are told the system
is not to be altered ! If the law is to be
maintained, it would of course be some improve-
ment to introduce a relaxing power into the
Act. As the law must be abrogated upon each occa-
sion of severe pressure, let the abrogation be brought
about constitutionally; in the name of public mo-
rality, let not Ministers stand forward es law-
breakers. But even this relaxing power will not
mace to prevent panic, for the public will be
always dubious ss to the point at which Go-
vernment will consider themselves justified in
interfering. Hence, when the Bank's reserve falls
dangerously low, there will be the same rush to ob-
tain the few notes that remain. In 1647, the rate of
interest had reached 8 per cent. when the Treasury
Lotter was hard, and in 1837,10 per cent. Uponthe
next occasion the public will be apprehensive
that the rate will be allowed to p to
12 per cent, and they will rush for money, beard
it, and aggravate the general position just the sear
as they did lest month. Upon all these grounds the
Act of 1844, either with or without a relaxing
power, stands convicted of being both useless and
mischievous. Why not abalish the whole of the
cumbrous machinery which clogs the operation of
the Balk of England? Why not secure the con-
vertibility of the note by miens far simpler, and
se ceding with natural principles ?

THE LBVIATHAN.

There was very little proven made in the launch-
ing of the vessel daring the teat two days of the week. Fresh
power had bun sobbed, both in eams and river haulage, but
cylinders would bunt, and chains would give away, in
spite of Wag pretenticet, teed every hitureption of either
kind mad* a mad taxed into the wafting hones of " The
dark days before Christmas." She bas now got about 80
het down the ways, and at high water has obtained a
respectable amount of immersion, bet still nothing of any
consequence as giving buoyancy to her huge bulk. It la
now obviate that the ways have been constructed at jut
such an incline as enables the ship to Aide down under the
pressure of a vast force from behind, while it is so little
removed from the level as almost to neutrathe her own
momentum. Whether this has been the result of deep
design and careful calculation, or whether it has arisen
from oversight, it le not for use to say, but the
result has certainly been to give great appearance of
blundering to the whole proceeding, end to aced frequent
opportunities for earns= anything but pleasant to
American and other foreign engineers. It is not forgotten
that it was only when the Great Britain was finished that
any one thought of measuring the pies of the dry dock in
which she was built, and that, in order to get her oat, •
good deal:of the wall on both sides had to be knocked down.
In this case the building of the largest ship in the world wee
commenced at so low an elevation uto give a minimum of
incline to the bed of the river, and hence the necessity for
thou immense efforts which have been wearying the public
during the last fortnight, by their comparative futility.
Great and expensive power is constantly in action to hold
the vessel back but, in as far se the spectators are able
to judge, it appears to be wholly unnecessary. One thing is
certain, that whenever anything gives way, which is pretty
well ss often as the power Is applied, it is not in any
portion of the checking apparent.. The tides are now daily
falling, and if the este of movement should not be consida-
ably acceisrated we shell have to wait some time longer As
the completed launch of the Leviathan.
During yesterday no ettempts were made, but, In ceder
that no further loss of time might be occasioned, the "rams'
were advanced newer to the ship.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We hare received the Cape Argus of April 11th,
from which it appears that the governor has
opened the session of the colonial parliament with a
speech, in which he found abundant matter for con-
gratulation in the position and prospects of the
country. The relations between the colonists and
the frontier tribes are now satisfactory, and the
apprehensions which were lately entertained exist
no longer.
A letter from King William's Town, of April 2,
says that painful accounts come from beyond the
river Kei of the famine which begins to prevail
amongst the Kuffir tribes, the marequence of which
is the occurrence of many isolated acts of robbery.
The men of the German Legion are being distributed
over the country, and the new lines of posts are being
formed. The original plan of locating them in
villages has been changed, and they are now to be
spread, in smaller bodies, over a greater extent of
country, with lines of communication carefully kept
open between them ; the settlers to be allowed to
choose such sites as are moat agreeable to them, and
best adapted to their individual pursuits.
The Port Elizabeth Mercury relates that the sea
serpent has actually born captured in Alga* Bay, by
Mr. Capper, the proprietor of the Sunday Island
Ferry, misted by Mr. Newcome. It was thrown
ashore near Cape I'sdrone, and supposed by the
coloured people who found it to be an immense fish.
It proved, however, to be " a creature with a long
serpent-like body, about eighty or ninety feet in
length, with au enormous head, ramming the ro•
perties of the reptile species, and a mouth furnished
with a formidable row of serrated teeth on both
jaws, which, when closed, dove-tailed one into
another." The animal was dead, and decomposition
wee already going on. The bead was cat off and
placed in a waggon, which could scarcely contain it,
and taken to a neighbouring home, " where it now
remains." All this is very circumstantial, but the
Arias remarks that a vessel named the Sea Serpent
arrived in Algoa Bay on the day referred to. Per-
haps this circumstance gave rise to a myth.
