MR. JOHN BRIGHT AND THE PAIit.EY Ell '-
110 N.—The following letter from Mr. John BriAht, M.P.,
to Councillor Cochran, of Paisley, was read at a meeting
of the electors of that town last week :—"Torquay,Devon,
October Ct. Dear Sir, —I am unwilling to interfere in
your election matters, but in anssvor to your question I
cannot hesitate to say to your committee that the working
man, the new elector for your burgh, will in my opinion
make a grievous mistake if he attempts to remove Mr.
Crum-Ewing from the representation of Paisley, and to
replace him by any other candidate now before your con-
stituency. If Mr. Kintrea was the confidential agent of
the friends of the slaveholdere, ho is a bold man to offer
himself as the representative of the now free men of this
country.—l am, respectfully yours, Joint Banner. Mr.
Robert Cochran. Paisley."
The Times publishes a letter from Mr. W. (1.
Tiumphry, Treasurer of the Christian Knowledge Society,
relating to the vote at the meeting of the 6th instant,
granting 2,0001. to the Dean of Maritsburg and the
Church Committee of the Diocese of Natal, and to a mo-
tion which the writer is himself to make at a meeting of
the society on the let of December with a view to its being
reminded. After remarking that by the vote on the 6th
the validity of the sentence of deposition passed on
Bishop Coleus° by the Bishops of South Africa was vir-
tually affirmed, Mr. llumphry mays :—" Many mem-
bers of this society, who are as far as it is passible
to be from sympathising with the views of Bishop
Colenso, objectoil strongly to the vote, for various reasons
into which -1
need not now enter; and, considering the
eircunndances under which the vote was taken, they wore
not willing to acquiesce in it as the fair and deliberate
expression of the mind of the society upon a matter of
grave impedance. (treat dissatisfaction was expressed
by sonic of the most influential members, and I felt it was
right and me istaery that the society should have an oppor-
tunity of recalling the vote and retuniing to a position of
neutrality with regard to questions upon which it is not
competent to pronounce. lam not without the hope that
unite of those who supported the vote may be induoed by
them oonsideintions to allow of its being revoked by my
motion on the let of December."
