THE NEW BISHOP IN NATAL.

The following letter appeared in yesterday's
Guardian
'Mr.—There are many who will rejoice to hear that
one has at length been elected to the office of Bishop of
the Church in Natal :
" The appointment has been made by the Metropolitan
and the Bishop of Grahamstown, in concurrence with the
Archbishop of Canterbury, in accordance with the follow.
ing resolution, adopted sew. con. by the clergy and laity
of the church in Natal assembled at Pietermaritzburg on
October 25, 1866 :
" ' That if the person now elected be hindered from se.
(opting the holy office, the Bishop of Capetown and tho
Bishop of Grahamstown be requested to choose, with the
concurrence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, a tit and
proper person, whom, when canonically consecrated, we
bind hereby ourselves to receive as our bishop.'"
The person chosen for this difficult post is the Rev. W,
R. Blacrorie, M.A., of Brasenose College, Oxford, formerly
a master of Radley College, afterwards incumbent of
Wapping, and sincepreeented to the living of St. James's,
Accrington, by the Huline Trustees. The place and time
for the consecration have not yet been definitely fixed.
I avail myself of this opportunity to state what has been
done towards making a provision for the new bishop until
the endowment shall revert to the church. A committee
has been formed for the purpose of raising the required in-
come. The Hon. and Rev. H. Douglas, Banbury, Brom&
grove, the Rev. Canon Seymour, Kinwarton, Alcester,
have kindly consented to act as secretaries. It has, how.
ever, almost of necessity fallen upon me to guarantee au
income. I have promised that 6001. a year shall be forth-
coming so long as it may be needed, which may very jos.
sibly be for 10 or lo years, and that the espemes
of the passage, &c., shall be paid. The com-
mittee has received promises of subscriptionsan amount.
ing to about 700/. a year for five years, d nearly
1,000/. has been given in donations. The subscriptions,
owing to deaths, removals, and other accidental creme.
stances, can hardly be estimated as producing 0001. a year
for five years. At the expiration of that term we may
therefore be placed in very difficult circumstances if a
better provision be not made. I am sure that churchmen
would not wish this responsibility to remain with me.
What we most seed at this time ts a guarantee fund in
case of its being required. Some have suggested that an
annuity shotdd, be purchased for the period of Dr.
Colenao's life. I should be thankful if this could be done,
as it would relieve all parties from anxiety.

THE REP. NEW MAN HALL ON AMERICA.

Last night the Rev. Mr. Newman Hall delivered
a lecture on America, after his recent visit to that
country, to • large assemblage in the Metropolitan
Tabernacle.for3lApNre...HAtuLL,,glthlahou.emie4 wth,ituikh ae,m, oishtt enthusiastic

the kindness of the greeting which welcomed him on his
return from America. He took it as an eArt.it
of their goodwill to America. He hoped he
might also take it as an earnest of their good.
will towards the pecuniary object connected with
the meeting, namely, the collection of a fund for to
erection of a lecture-ball and school-room in connexion
with that new church which they must build in place of
the Surrey Chapel, the lease of which would soon expire. I
Having opened his lecture with a humorous description '.
of the voyage out, he said that his friend Mr. Cyrus }IA
CAM on board at Halifax. Mr. Field told butt that no
angry message had ever been sent between the two co ai-
tries by the Atlantic cable. (Applause.) An AnerLan
from Dorchester came on board—Dorchester in .tape.
rica. Ho told them that he had been in INT-
chester in England, and he pointed out thr...3
things in which the Dorchester of America die
fered from the Dorchester of England. Dorcheste in
America had public schools winch all the children of
the teen were educated—this was not the case in the
Dorchester of England ; in the Durcheeter of Ainencs
there was no house where • man could get drunk—there
were 37 such places in the English Dorchester; the po
house in Dorchester had only twelve poor people in it—
it was far different in the English town. He was
much pleased with Boston when he arrived there.
lie regretted that on the way be saw some la r•
sons who were intoxicated. Tide was not incon-ie
tent with something else which he had said. Ile
had stated that he saw more drunken persons in a
late walk in London than he bad seen during the whole
time ho was in America, and he repeated the statement.
But this did not mean that there was no drunkenness is
America. He regretted there was too much of it. At
Boston he was charged, two sovereigns for two breakfast:—
one for himself and one for his friend—and for kettle;
his luggage, and when he remonstrated, he was toll that
he might, if he liked, have all his meals for two for the .:ay
—64 dollars for each. That was the rule of the hotel.
The voyage from Roston to New York, by Newport, was
amusinely described, accompanied with anecdotes
illustrative of American life and manners. Ile
visited the house of Washington Irving, and
was kindly received by his nieces. lie also
visited West Point where there was a military college.
He had given them his experience of the Boston hotels ;
but at the Kidskin Mountain Hotel the proprietor would
accept Dothiug either for hireself or his friend, rind be ex-
perienced the none hospitality at limey other pieces. Thu
river boats and railway ouriages lied often been described,
but no description could du justice to the comfort and
even the luxury of their snangements. Persons could
travel for 1,300 miles continuously, sleeping and living in
the train during the whole journey. There was a
agreeable practice of chewing tolitioco, and its necessary
consequence, in America, which he hoped would never be
adopted in this country. (Hear, hear.) The American
system of dealing with passengers' luggage was deicribel,
and was recommended for adoption iu this country. Ha
took the liberty of doing what everybody did to Lint—lie
talked to everybody, and us this way pie obtained
a good deal of information, so that nobody could
say that he was " proviug" him or " putting bin
through." He found from Wiet.ry amongst the laimuring
claims that workmen in England, if they were only wrier,
might be as well off as they were in Antoine. Rut tho
homestead system, by which a man and his wife will
obtain 80 acres of land on ordain conditions, gave the
Ametican working classes an advartage over the working
classes in England. Ha passed through Saratoga, Pura,
to Rochester. At the last-named place he asked to we
the waterfall of which he bad heard. He asked where it
was. The person be a.sked said " the stores were not yet
opened." He said he did not want stores—he wanted to
see the waterfall. "Oh yes, we call ladies' hair water-
falls hero," was the reply he received. He passed on to
Niagara, of which an interesting description was given,
and many anecdotes were related. He went out to see the
falls at night. He observed • man watching him. He In-
quired why he did so. " Oh," said he, " I did wit know
what you were about. You might have jumped into the
stream. I saw two gents do it," One of them was a com-
mercial traveller who was in the habit of drinking. Let
as a general rule the maxim in America was that
you must look out for yourself. lie was not long
in the country when he was told he must
tee his intellect, and he took the hint. The
journey from Niagara to Lake Ontario, and the
passage of the rapids of the St. Lawrence, was next
detcribed. In Cana& he found that there was no state
church. All churches were free. The system of educa-
tion was described. There were primary, central, and
eneral
grammar schools, and these were supported by a geral
to tax. The system in the United States DAS somewhat &f-
-ie ferent, end the schools ware classified into primary,
grammar, and high schools. Every child in America
could be instructed in any of these schools, and there WO4
no position in the state which was not open to the child
I 4-1 of the poorest person in America, if that child had the
- intellect to attain to it. These were not charity schools.
8 They ware indispensable because education was indispeue
able to the nation. He went to the West—to Chicago. lie
must say he found everywhere the negro waiters throughout
2 America to he perfect gentlemen. Those who DOO&O•iii
6 esserted their independence were generally snobs. Here
ho visited a negro church, and was much pleased with
what he saw ; also the Christian Young blen's Associa-
" lion. In Chicago he met it house which was being moved
4 from one part of the town to another, with all the people
in it—women sad children. He visited Robert Lincoln,
the son of the President, and invited him to break.
2 fast He remarked that if he had been in
a England he would be Prince Rob,rt. His reply was,
