LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22.

IT will be the Bishop of CAPE TOWN'S own
fault if, as the Bishop of LONDON'S letter seems to
suggest, any unpleasant legal consequences should
follow his cou'ecration of the gentleman ho has
found to take the new bishopric in Natal. Dr.
GRAY claims liberty to act in his Province irre-
spectively of the English ecclesiastical laws which
arise out of the connexion between Church and
State, inasmuch as in South Africa the Church
is non-established. Let it be granted that he
is right, still ecclesiastical acts performed here
by members of the Church of England are,
wo take it, under the law of England, although
they may relate to a colony. Perhaps some of
Dr. GRAY'S friends will explain why the new
bishop must be consecrated in England. When
the Bishop of CAPE Town proceeded to depose
the Bishop of NATAL, he did so in his own see,
With the aid of none but South African Bishops.
If he could unmake the former Bishop there,
there also, ono would think, he might make
the new one. Apparently, however, he wants
to have the prestige of an English conse-
cration to oppose to the influence of Dr.
COL ENSO in Natal. This is to grasp at too
much. Since he came to England he has evoked
an expression of the sympathy and support of the
great majority of the Bishops met at Lambeth,
and has obtained from the liberality of Church-
men at home a fund which will give his new suf-
fragan an income equal to Dr. CoutrisoN, and
with this it should seem he might be satisfied. It
is said that the consecration is appointed to take
place next Satimlay, and the Bishop of LONDON
appears to apprehend that ho or some of his
brethren may consequently have to visit some
of their clergy for taking part ►n proceedings con-
trary to the law of the Church and realm. From
what took place at the Lambeth Conference we
imagine that Dr. C HAY will have no difficulty in find-
ing a diocese whore he and his coadjutors will be
perfectly safe froui molestation by the Bishop ; but
really we at home ought not to have our peace dis-
turbed by these colonial affairs. If any body of
persons at Natal want a new Bishop they are free
to have one ; we in England hare nothing to do
with the matter. Let Dr. GRAY take his nominee
to the Cape, and consecrate him, and then he will
pans among Churchmen for whatever he may bo
found to be worth.

Inn 48th Middlesex (Havelock) Volunteers,
the corps from which a few days ago fourteen offi-
cers were summarily dismissed, does nut seem to
have been restored to health and vigour by
that very drastic measure. The adjourned annual
meeting was held last Thursday, when Lieutenant-
Colonel CRUIKSIIANK met the members, and ad-
dressed them with a freedom of personal remark
which must have been veryentertaining, but which
was not calculated to confirm his somewhat weak-
ened authority. One of the cashiered officers was
referred to as a pest, and another as a nuisance :
all of them were spoken of as enemies, and assured
that " there is life in the old dog yet." A horse-
whip was mentioned as their possible portion,
and they were reminded that their old colonel had
" boxed with the best lighting men of his day,
" and had not forgotten to use his fists." It
is painful thus to refer to the acts of a gentle-
man who has done so mach good work in a long
lifetime, and who has still so many titles to
respect, as Mr. GEORO6 CRVIKAHANK ; but it is
necessary. The measures on which he has relied
have not had the good effect he intended, and the
corps is fast going to ruin and dissolution. On
Monday last a whole company of the 48th
marched to headquarters and gave in their resig-
nations, with their rifles. The War-office, which
lately intervened so decisively in favour of the
commanding officer, should now step in and do
something to save the corps.

MR. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN, who was arrested
at Queenstown last week on his arrival by the
Cunard steamer from the United States, has been
released on his professions of strictly lawful in-
tentions. His liberation under these circumstances

shows that, as we had surmised, his arrest was a
precautionary measure, and any elaborate discus-
sion as to the possibility of holding an American citi-
zen accountable in the United Kingdom for speeches
made against this country in New York is rendered
unnecessary. If such a right exists, it is evi-
dently one which our Government would only ex-
ercise in extreme cases. Tram, however, cannot
reasonably complain of his brief detention.
Knowing that the Habeas Corpus was suspended
in Ireland, he resolved to proceed thither, and
did his best to notify the British Government
that a terrible enemy was on his way to its
shores ; a man who, by his own confession, had
put down all the generals and public men in
America, from GRANT to JAY COOKE, KY not to
be despised. Mr. TEAL*, however, has given his
word, and we are all safe again. His ideas
have doubtless been considerably clarified and
corrected since Friday evening, and if ha should
forget what he has learned he may at any time be
re-arrested. He bad better, however, go back to
the place from which he came. There are these
