FINA.NcIAL BEtotty num!. —The following
revolution was passed on Tuesday evening, the 6th nut.,
by the executive c. minittee of the Financial Reform
►rise:—••That this committee, while regarding with
neat' satisfaction the attention recently bestowed by can-
diontes of both political parties upon the question of the
national expenditure, is desirous that the discussion of
this important subject should not be used merely to pro-
mote a party triumph, but to produce a considerable dimi-
nution of the public burdens; and that friends of retrench-
ment in every constituency be and are hereby urged to
bring the expenditure incurred for the defence of the
colonies and the mal-administration of both army and
navy before the notice of all candidates, with the view of
securing as early as possible a reduction of at least ten
niill.ons sterling from the present expenditure, and the
repeal of customs and excise duties to that amount."
Mn. DISRAELI'S ADURESS.—An honest man says
what Le believes; a prudent man will at least say only
what be can be reasonably thought to believe. But Mr.
Diaraeli's peroration is too obviously the work of a clover
her on taking pains to express stupil ideas cleverly.—
Guardian.
TIIE BISDOP OF CAPE TOWN'S FAREWELL.—
Yeeterday the Bishop of Capetown met hie associates,
sad those who are willing to assist him in the work of
Lis diocese, at ...Le rooms of the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Doi in Park-place, St. James's. The bishop
repeated the statement he publicly made in the pulpit of
St. Laurence, Jewry, on the previous eveninv, that he
bad been deceived by the Duke of Buckingham in rehv-
enee to the issue of a mandate for the consocration of Mr.
Macrorie as the new bishop for the diocese of Natal. lie
bad written several letters to the duke—some of thorn
letters of complaint—but had received no answer; and he
believed that the same reason which indneed his brace not
to reply to him applied to the continued vacancies in the
bihopries of Maw Rios and I.abuan. Very shortly he
intended to make a public statement on these matters.
Ile regretti ii to say, moreover, that he had submitted the
name of a clergy man for the deanery of Capetown, va-
cant by the preferment of Dean Douglas to the
bishopric of Bombay ; but this nomination hail received
no notice whatever from the Secretary of State for
the Colonies ; and as he (the bishop) had to sail on
Friday morning from Plymouth, his diocese was likely to
be placid in a position of extreme inconvenience. On th
motion of the Hon. and Rev. A. iI. Douglas, rector of
Banbury, seconded by the Hon. and Rev. Robert Liddell,
vicar of St. Knightsbridge., a resolution was car-
ried expressive of thankfulness to the Bishop of Cape-
town for his past ozeutions, and bidding him a hearty
farewell. In acknowledging the compliment, hie lordship
said be never entertained any feelings of personal ani-
mosity towards Dr, totemic', mind only prayed that he
might he brought to a better state of mind. In answer to
a question from the Rev. Mr. Bennett, he said he could
not soy what the title of the new bishop (Mr. Macrorie)
would be, but d would, ho thought, be wrong under any
circumstances to call him Bishop of Natal, the Queen
having conferred that title upon Dr. Colman. As the
mandate has not been granted, Mr. Macrorie Mill it be
consecrated in England, and the ceremony cannot very
well take place until the meeting of the synod at Ca-
towu in January next. Mr. Macrorie was present at the
meeting yesterday, and made a few remarks, At the
close of the preceediugs the Bnitop of Capetown pro-
, nounced the benediction, and heartily shook lauds with
his numerous friends.
