The Natal Bishops.

The Rev. William Butler, vicar of Wantage,
who was lately elected a bishop in South Africa,
publishes the following letter, which he has received
from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop
of Oxford :

Addington Park, Jan. 12.
My dear Sir,—We have carefully weighed the difficult
question which you have proposed to us, as to your accept-
ance of your election to the office of a bishop in South
Africa, and we have concluded—that the decision of the
Judicial Committee of the Privy Council having deter-
mined the position of our Church in South Africa to be
that of a voluntary spiritual society, and that the letters
patent held by Dr. Cotense confer on him no territorial
jurisdiction or authority, there is nothing .in his legal
position to prevent the. election of a bishop to preside
over them, by those of our communion in South
Africa who, with ourselves, hold him to have
been canonically deposed from his spiritual office.
Considering, then, the post of bishop to be vacant,
and the needs of this district of South Africa to be urgent,
we dare not advise you to rofuse the call which has reached
you. But before we can advise you to accept it, there ap-
pear to us to be certain grave doubts which require to be
solved. It is evidently of the utmost moment that no room
should be left, in the action which you are invited to take,
for creating a schism, which would still further weaken
and divide the Church. For the avoidance of so great a
danger it seems to us unusually important that the canoni-
city of your election should be clear from every reasonable
doubt. Now we perceive-1. That the electing clergy
were a decided minority of the clergy of the diocese. 2.
That an equal number voted for and against the proceed-
ing to an election. 3. That some of those who opposed
proceeding to an election recorded their refusal to receive
a bishop if one were consecrated as the result'of no evenly
Tbalancedhese considerations a
vot
suggest to us the doubt whether
there is as yet the proof which
the u
ehalveti.l right to require,
vTihxs.—tit
wTinhahtethreeecaognocinseicdithyy
ofthe metroploolnitaiBncaenrdtaisnu'ffra2-.
gans of the providce as canonical. 3. That it will be so
recognised by the church at home.
We further notice, that though a large majority of the
lay communicants present voted for the election,
yet that
so small a proper-
they amounted only to twenty-nine ;
Lion of the whole number of lay communicants in the dio-
cese, that we doubt whether those votes can properly be
taken as expressing the assent of the laity ; more espe-
cially as we do not perceive that they pledged their orders
to make the needful provision for their bishop. We advise
you, therefore, to suspend your decision until these im-
portant questions concerning your election shall have
been completely answered. With earnest prayer to God
to lead you in this matter to see and to du His will, —We
remain, even yours, (S ig ned) C. T. OANTUAR.
Rev. W. Butler. S. Oxox.

_MOUTH AT ALGIERS.—AII through the seven
hours' firing, the old sea-lion, Exmouth, though a stout
man of sixty-five, and worn with service in every climate,
ran about with a white handkerchief tied round his waist,
a round hat on his head, and a telescope in his hand,
shouting orders as active and eager as the youngest middy
in the fleet. He received only two slight wounds, one in
the cheek and the other in the leg; but his coat was slit
and torn by musket-balls, as if it had been slashed by a
madman's scissors. Many of the Queen Charlotte's guns
grew at last so hot that they could not be safely used;
others recoiled until the wheels made deep troughs in the
deck, and there stuck; others broke from their carriages.
Mr. Stone, the gunner, an old man of seventy, who had
been in thirty actions, said he never before used so much
powder, the Queen Charlotte having expended thirty
thousand four hundred and twenty-four pounds of powder
and four thousand four hundred and sixty-two rounds
of big shot. Exmouth's ship was placed at such a
fine angle,and with such consummate skill, that she only
lost nine men—less than almost any other vessel in the
squadron—though close to the gun-batteries on the mole,
and near to thousands of Moorish musketeers. Once only,
as the despatch has shown, the admiral's vessel was in
great danger, when a blazing Algeria° frigate came drift-
ing down on her. The Dutch admiral, seeing Lord Ex-
mouth's danger, was anxious to send every ship's boat to
his rescue, but the brave Cornishman would not hear of it,
said he only wished his orders to be strictly followed, and
instantly gave the signal for the fleet to retire out of dan-
ger before his own vessel was safe from the burning drift.
Providence was gracioas, for just as Lord Exmouth was
regretfully giving orders to cut the Queen Charlotte's
cable and veer round, a breeze sprang up and drove the
burning ship towards the town.--Dickens's " All the Year
Round."

FATAL COLLISION AT SEA.—A few days ago,
while a French frigate was approaching Madeira she ran
into the barque Brutus, of Newcastle, laden with coal.
The crash was fearful, the barque going down almost im-
mediately, taking with her the captain and nine of the crew.
The nomination for the borough of Armagh took
place yesterday. Mr. Vance was elected without opposition.
lie proclaims himself " strnngly attached to the Protestant
constitution of the country."
