Bishop McIlvmime i'm EnsEmnd

Through the Kindness Of the Rev. DR..
Bronfon of this city, we are enabled 10
give our readers the following letter from
Bishop Mclhaine. from the lVestora
EpiscofG'ida Of tho present week. It
will be read with great interest by every
body, and especially by those of the
Bishops own household. lts cmincnty
kindly and truly christian spirit add much
10 its peculiar interest, as coupled with
the present complications between this
country and England. We believe it 10
have been prc-cmincntly good move for
Bishop McIlyainc to visit England At the
present time, aud that tho result of his
visit will bo for the good Of the nation.
We only wish there were more unofficial
representatives abroad Of the samo
sort:

My DEAN BIsHor,-I am here once moro
with my venerable and most kind, friend
whom | haye personally known more
than twcny.ivc years-thc Bishop Of
| Winchester. Yesterday, in the Chapel
Of the Castle, | preached for the third
time the sermon at his Ordination, first in
! 1853. then in '5S. There were seventeen
| for Dcacon's and fifteen for Priests Or
DC s. The Sunday before had preached
| in Trinity Church, Cambridge. | have
| plenty OF applications to prcach--a great
many more than ! can answer in the af-
firmut.vc. The whole land il in mourn
| ing for the death Of the Prince Consurt,
and most sincere mourning il is. All
| people secm lcclingiy impressed with the
greatness Of the loss, ns we'll they may
be; for il is great indeed to the Queen
her children, and the nation. Nothing is
mere interesting TO me than the docp-sca-
ted and strong loyalty Of the people to
their sovereign, and their earnest and ten
der affection for their Qpccp for whom
in every praying family, there is a daily
prayer, us well rs in every church. The
psor Queen is bearing her loss far better
than was feared. While she is relieved
by much weeping, she has strength given
her no. to sink with her loGd. Ths,
with an anxiety all through the country
about the relations with our Government,
arising out of the Trent ailuir, makes il
a most interesting and anxious time 10 be
in England. Before that affair, the feel
ing OF the great DO Y OF the ton was
decidedly with the Union against the re-
bcllion. At present, mntil the question
of the release of the captured men is do
cidod, that feeling is checked, but not
changed. am persuaded there has been
no intention, on the part of the English
Government, to interfere with our block.
Sde, even while hearing very uniayorabc
accounts from their naval officers of it,
sutiiciency, and therefore Of It's rcaity..-
| firmly believe that ii the Trent affair be
amleably settled, there will be 10 inter.
ference with us in favor of the South -
They really do pot want the cotton, cx-
copt for tie employment Of laborers.--
The other night, at large company at
the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird's, inyted TO
meet nc, ard at which was asked to ad.
dress them about on; affairs, one of tie
clergymen present (a Canon of st. Paul! y
remarked how forbenrirg England ha,
been in not breaking the blockade when
50 many of her factories wanted the cot
ton of the South. wLs spared the ne
ccssity of unsw, ring, by my old friend,
the Hon. aud Rev. Baptist Noel, who said
the blockade bad been the greatest bene-
fit to the manufacturers Tor the market
was glutted with their fabrics, and they
thus had an opportunity of getting them
OF without loss. The same ! heard from
tie Earl Of ShanosbrrY.
The deep and wide feeling Of the ma
tion is that Of strong aversion TO TO war
with us about the Trent affair, and of hope /,
1t may b. amioably adjusted, Sermons
Of that spirit have been preached all over |
the land, and meetings for prayer against
the awful resort OF war, are very Humer- I
Gus Indeed, almost wherever YOU hear
