Ona'uesday evening a Dumber of young persons were
enjoying themselves at a pie ale, at Hastings, Surrey,
when mi,young man of the party., to avoid being caught
by his companions jumped over a fence about three feet
high, imagining that there was a footing on the other
side, but it merely served as a ,-protection from the
brow of the cliff, which rises Terimadicularly about 200
feet abovet. Mary's Chapel. When found, the body of
the deceased was standing erect in A ;gutter between the
organ loft and the cliff quite dead.
THE CANTaRBURY COLONSETS.--On Sunday morning
an immense body of persons attended the ordinary service
-at St. Paul's ,cathedral, an announcement having been
'made that the colonists who are about proceeding to
'found the Canterbury Settlement in Netv,Ze.aland would
,be present, andithat a sermon would be preached to them
by:his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. The cola-
mists took their sests in the body of the cathedral and. in
the prebendal stalls, There were presenta large number
of nob omen
emen and gentlemen who take an interest in emi-
gration and colonization, amongst whom were Lord Lyt-
tleton (by whose name the chief town of the new. settle-
ment will be called), Earl Nelson, Lord Wharnehffe, the
Lion.

Mr.
bendary Venn, &c. His Grace selected for his text; he
parting salutation of the Apostle St. Paul to the Chris-
tians of the Church of Corinth—" The grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of
the Holy Ghost be with you all." The archbishop, in
discoursing upon this text, remarked upon the various
petitions of the prayer, and earnestly exhorted those who
were about sailing for their distant home ever to remem-
ber that they were members of the universal church dis-
persed throughout the world—a recollection of which
would support them in any of those difficulties and trials
which they might be called upon to undergo. The arch-
bishop's was an eminently practical sermon, and was lis-
tened to by the colonists, and indeed by the congregation
generally, with very deep attention. Yesterday, a dinner
was 9ven, under the presidency of Lord Lyttleton, to the
working class emigrants, and to-day the four noble
vessels which are bound for Port Lyttleton will leave the
shores of England with the enterprising band of colonists
who are to be the founders of a settlement which will, we
trust, prove one of the most interesting of England's

colonial possessions. It is expected that the Rev. Thos
Jackson, the Bishop designate of Lyttleton, will accorn

PanY the first band of colonists, and that a commission
to consecrate him will be directed by the Archbishop of
Canterbury to the Right Rev. Dr. Selwyn, the Bishop of
New Zealand, whose formal consent to the division of
the diocese must be obtained before the final steps in the
erection of the see of Lyttlcton can be taken.
