1 CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOPS OF
NOR WICK, LL A NDAFF, AND MADRAS.
Yesterday, being Advent Sunday, was appointed
by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the consecration
of the Right Rev. Dr. Samuel Hinds to the bishopric
of Norwich, rendered vacant by the decease of Dr.
Stanley ; the Right Rey. Dr. Alfred 011ivant to the
bishopric of Llandaff, rendered vacant by the decease
of Dr. Copplestone, and the Right Rev. Dr. Thomas
Dealtry to the bishopric of Madras, rendered vacant
by the resignation of Dr. George Trevor Spencer.
The ceremony took place in the private chapel of
Lambeth Palace, and excited considerable interest, so
large a number of bishops never having been conse-
crated at one time during the present century, with
the exception of 1842 and 1847, in the former of
which years five, and in the latter • four colonial
bishops were admitted to the high offices of the
Church. Among the persons present at yesterday's
ceremony were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Bishops of London, Lincoln, Carlisle, Hereford, and.
Manchester, &c.
The usual prayers of the Church, and those speci-
ally appointed for the occasion, were read by the Rev.
John Thomas, M.A., the Archbishop's chaplain, and
the sermon was preached by the Rev. R. Moore
Boultbee, B. D.
The Iter. Gentleman selected for his text the 10th
chapter of St. Mark's Gospel, verse 43, and dwelt at
some length upon the dignity of the Christian priest-
hood, and the privileges and duties of the ministerial
office. He contended that Christian ministers, whilst
they were clothed with humility, should take care
never to degenerate into subserviency to worldly
policy, and should never surrender any one of their
religious principles.
At the close of the sermon the Archbishop of Can-
terbury and the right rev. prelates appointed to assist
them took their seats within the altar rails, and the
newly elected bishops, vested in their rockets, were
presented to his Grace by the Bishops of Lincoln and
and Carlisle, with the words—" Most reverend father
in God, we present unto you these godly and well-
learned persons, - to be ordained and consecrated
bishops."
The Queen's mandates for the consecrations were
read aloud by Mr. F. H. Dyke, and the newly elected
bishops put on the full episcopal habit. They were
then admitted, by imposition of hands, bishops of the
Church of England, and the Holy Communion being
administered, the services of the Church were brought
to a,close.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
INCREASE OF TIIE BOROUGH BOUNDS.--Under the
Boundary Act of 1832, several residents in Cowes
claimed the right to vote for the Members
of Parliament to be returned for the borough of
Newport in the first refcr:ned Parliament, on the
ground that the houses they occupied were built on
the s,il and bed of the Medina or Newport river, and
about twelve got on the list of voters after a long op-
lo ition from the Liberals of Newport, who contended
that as they resided at five miles distance it could
never have been intended that they should have a vote
for the borough, and, further, that the tide of the
river had never flowed over the land on which their
houses were built. Year after year other names were
add d, and the Tory corporation of Newport kept
their hold of the borough solely by the aid of their
Tory supporters at Cowes, the majority of the New.
port voters being ngiinst them.
A change is now likely to take place, as in excavat-
ing tie land to form a main sewer ti rough the high
ateeet of West Cowes, the workmen, at a depth of from
three to four feet, came to a beach of fine shingle
through which the tide ebbed and flowed; they dug
d )wn about three feet jet -I it, but the tide pre-
v_nted their working at high water. The shingle
xtends the whole extent of the cutting up and down
the street, and under the houses on both sides of it.
Heretofore those residing in the houses on the east
side of the street only voted at the election of the
Members for the borough of Newport, and also for the
town-councillors ; but, on the same principle, the
residents on the west side have an equal right to the
elective franchise, as in former times there could not
have been less than two feet of water flowing over the
land on which the houses now stand. The present
owner of the Northwood estate being a Liberal will
also have a considerable effect at all future elections
for the borough and county.
JOSEPH ADY.--At the County Court at Newport,
Isle of Wight, on Thursday last, Mr. Butt applied
for leave to take out a summons against this worthy,
who, lie stated, had diddled him out of 205., en a
representation that he would give him some valuable
information for it, but he now found that it was all
humbug. The judge laughed at him; but told him
that, as he had sent the money by post-office order,
the case was within the jurisdiction of the Court, and
that he could have the summons.

SUDDEN DEATH IN LAMBETH CIIURCII.—An
awful instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred
yesterday during the performance of Divine service, in
the parish church of St. Mary, Lambeth. The officiat-
ing miizster had just commenced reading the Psalms for
the day, when a respectable inhabitant of the parish,
named Stickley, who resided at No. 3, Walnut-tree-
walk, and has for some time past occupied a seat in one
of the galleries of the church, was observed to stagger
and fall to the ground. The " street orderlies" of the
district, who attend the church regularly, were called to
the spot by the pew-opener, and with their assistance the
unfortunate gentleman was conveyed into the vestry,
where he was immediately examined by several medical
gentlemen, who at once pronounced life to be extinct.
The bey, Mr. Dalton, the rector, having retired to the
vestry, instantly recognised the unfortunate man as a
regular attendant and communicant at the church. Mr.
Superintmdent Butt, who happened to be in the church,
at on,:e gave directions to some of his officers to procure
a stretcher, ou yi hich the deceased was shortly after-
wards conveyed to his late residence. The awful inci-
dent created much excitement in the church, and the
seri ce was delayed for a few minutes in consequence.
The reverend rector, who was very much affected, al-
luded, in very feeling terms, to the occurrence in the
course of his sc.nalun.

The Earl of Carlisle left town on Saturday evening
on a visit to Lord Ashburton, At the Grange, Santo.

THE BRAZILS.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY Nteine...--By the Bonita,
from Pernambuco, we have received letters from that
port of the 6th of November, which advise that the
new sugars were arriving more freely, but the market
had opened tardily for them, and shipments were not
expected to be made for Europe for two or three
weeks, at which time freights would become more
active, and rates to the Channel were expected to be
from 455. to 50e. sd. per cwt.
The quotations for Muscovado were 1,600 to 1,700,
and white 2,100 to 2,700 reis per arroba, according
to quality. Cotton continued in good demand, at
4,850 reis per arroba, and at the outports of Maceio
and Paraiba 5,400 reis was the price free on board.
Exchange was 27i.
The Seraphina arrived at Pernambuco Nov. 3.
Dates from Liverpool of the 27th of September,
reporting less favourably of our sugar and cotton
markets, but the reverse for coffee had been received.
The Brothers and the Eliza Johnston left Maceio in
company with the Bonita, and the Bodiam Castle
came out with her from Pernambuco, and the Hen-
rietta would leave Paraiba a few days before all.
These vessels are all bound for Liverpool, and includ-
ing the Bonita's cargo, have on board 12,000 bales of
cotton. Exchange was gradually advancing, and was
negotiated by the Bonita at 274.
The Bonita also brings later intelligence from
Bahia and Rio Janeiro. From Bahia we learn, under
date October 23, the new sugars were arriving fast,
and only small quantities of shipping being in the
bay, the freights were expected to rule accordingly.
Prices of the new crop had net yet opened. 1,500
reis to 1,600 reis for brown, and 1,900 reis to 2,000
reis per arroba for white, were fixed upon as the
probable rates. Cotton was 4,800 reis per arroba,
and Exchange 27d. From tio accounts were but
four days later than by her Majesty's ship Constance,
only reaching to the 16th of October. Coffee w-As
quoted :3,900 reis to 4,100 reis for superior, and 3,700
to 3,800 reis for good firsts. The stock was 80,000
bags. Freights were' dull, at 403. to 455. to the
Channel. Exchange 27d.
