The news from Natal is very good. The laity in

the colony -are almost unanimous against the schismatic movement of the Gray conspirators. The people of Pine Town, at a vestry meeting, have repudiated their clergyman, Mr. Walton, altogether for joining in the schism. The Bishop of Natal believes that if Mr. Butler, of Vantage, accepts the position of schismatic Bishop, he will be refused admission into all the buildings belonging to the 4Church of England in the colony. Lord Romilly's judgment, which has reached the colony by this time, will tell strongly in the Bishop of Natal's favour. On the whole, the star of the .schismatics is on the wane.
