"T " GTIOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL. New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaus.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, through the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly, held at the CAN-
TER BURY HALL. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real lite, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still farther impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best writers. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the "White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly replacel by others. The pages cf Shakspere and the
el,:er Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, In g oldsby, Dickens, &c., &c.,
will, in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, Itr.c. ; Comedy by Cesworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George -Hodson, E.
Marshall, and George Hutchenson.

THE CAPE MAIL.

PLYMOUTH, Dec. 21

The mail steamship Briton arrived here this even
ing at 10 o'clock. She left the Cape on the 20th
ult., St. Helena on the 28th ult., and Ascension on
the 2d inst., alai brings 39 passengers.
Bishop Colenzo's trial commenced at the Cape on
the 17th ult. in St. George's Cathedral, before the
Metropolitan Bishop of Cape Town and two suf-
fragans, the Bishopof Graham's Town and the Bishop
of the Orange Free State. The accusing clergy, the
Dean of Cape Town and the Archdeacons of
Graham's Town and George Town, were present to
support the charges they had preferred. Dr. Black,
Curator of the Grey Library, attended on behalf of
l3ishop Colenzo, and read a letter from the Bishop,
denying the jurisdiction of the court and handed in a
formal protest against the proceedings. The Dean of
Cape Town supported the charges in an eloquent and
forcible speech, characterised by deep research and
great ability. The trial was expected to extend
over several
.days. The question at issue would
finally pass into the hands of the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council.
A civil action was pending against the Dutch
Reformed Church for suspending from the ministry
the Rev. Mr. Kobse, on a charge of heresy.
The Federal steamship Vanderbilt returned to 1
Cape Town from the Mauritius, and remained in
Table Bay until Oct. 27. She then proceeded to
Angra P,:quina, the Confederate rendezvous, and
carried a quantity of coals stored on Penguin Island,
which was annexed to Cape Colony two years since.
The Vanderbilt al.so seized the British bark Saxon,
of Cape Town (in British waters, it is said) that
vessel being supposed to have been laden with part
of the cargo of the Federal bark Conrad, captured
by the Alabama end converted by Cspt. Semmes
into a tender to the Alabama, and renamed the
Tuscaloosa. The Vanderbilt then put a prize crew
on board the Sazon, and sent her to New York for
condemnation. The crew of the Saxon, with the
exception of the mate, said to have been shot by a
Federal officer, were transferred to a coasting vessel
and forwarded to Table Bay.
