AN ARCHBISHOPRIC IN AUSTRALIA.—It has been
settled by Her Majesty's government that the diocese of
Sydney shall be formed into an archbishopric. It is pro-
bable that the first archbishop will be the Rev. Thomas
Jackson, Rector of Stoke Newington.
EPISCOPAL RESIGNATION.-It is rumoured that the
Bishop of Bath and Wells intends resigning his diocese, on
account of his great infirmity, and the difficulties which
have recently occurred, and which are beyond his power
to control.

NEW AFRICAN BISHOPRICS.—The bishopric of Natal
has been conferred upon the Rev. J. W. Colenso,
of St. John's College, Cambridge, Rector of Forncett St.
Mary, Norfolk. The bishopric of Graham's Town has
not yet been provided for; but it is said to have been
offered to the Rev. Daniel Moore, incumbent of Camden
Chapel, Camberwell.
MEETING OF THE NATIONAL SOCIETY.—The annual
meeting of the National Society was held on Wednesday,
the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair. The three re-
tiring members of the committee, Lord Lyttelton, T. D.
Acland, Esq., and Sir Thomas Phillips, were re-elected,
and the Rev. Sir H. Thompson, Bart., in the room of J.
C. Colquhon, Esq. The report having been read, Lord
Redesdale moved the adjournment of the meeting, which
was seconded by A. J. B. Hope, Esq. Archdeacon Denison
opposed the motion, and was supported by the Rev.
Downes Willis, who was anxious to put some question.
The Rev. John Keble supported the adjournment, anxious
to leave matters in the hands of the committee. Canon
Trevor, the Revds. W. W. Mayow and N. Oxenham, and
the Bishop of London having followed on the same side,
the primate put the question of adjournment to the meet-
ing, and it was carried almost unanimously. The Arch-
bishop then dismissed the meeting with the blessing.
SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL..--
The 152nd anniversary of this society was celebrated on
Friday in St. Paul's Cathedral, in the presence of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishops of London,
Manchester, Bangor, St. Asaph, Antigua, Quebec, Mon.
treal, Nova Scotia, Norwich, Salisbury, Oxford, Chiches-
ter, Gloucester, and Edinburgh. The Dean of St. Paul's,
Archdeacon Hale, the Rev. Dr. Russell, the Hon. and
Rev. Montague Villiers, the Rev. T. P. Dale, the Rev.
T. Champneys, the Venerable Archdeacon Anderson, the
Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and many members of the
corporation also attended. The service was performed
with a full choir, and the sermon was preached by the
Bishop of Manchester. In the evening the Lord Mayor
and Lady Mayoress entertained the bishops at the Man-
sion-house. Among the company were the Archbishop
of Canterbury and Mrs. Sumner, the Bishop of London,
the Bishop of Winchester and his lady, the Bishop of
Bangor, the Bishop of St. David's, the Bishop of Worces-
ter, the Bishop of Salisbury and lady, the Bishop of
Chichester and lady, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of
Manchester, the Bishop of Hereford, the Bishop of Llandaff,
and the Bishop of Nova Scotia and lady. Many of the
aldermen and their ladies were also present, and some of
the most distinguished of the metropolitan clergy.

THE ATTEMPT ON MR. GLADSTONE.—At the Central
Criminal Court, on Wednesday, William Wilson was
charged with having unlawfully threatened to publish a
matter touching the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, with
intent to induce him to procure him an appointment or
office of profit. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was
sentenced to a year's imprisonment.

THE PEACE NIOYEMENT.—We bare been waiting
anxiously to see what steps Messrs Cobden and Bright,
and their brethren of the Peace Society are proposing to
take in the present aspect of affairs in the East. A depu-
tation headed by these two gentlemen could not fail, we
should think, to have immense weight with the Emperor
Nicholas. The deputation might be reinforced by the
Earl of Shaftesbury, if his Lordship can be spared from
his new " Ragged" Hyper-Episcopate, and if he can in-
duce the " women of England" to hold another meeting
at Stafford House, and to give him letters commendatory
to the " women of Russia," Surely there would be
much more sense in this than ig Baiting a nee: IC the
