Bishop Julius at Home.

The London correspondent of the " Melbourne Argus," writing on April 11, states that L>r Julius, Bishop of Christchurclt, who is now at Home on a visit, was the hero of a funny little adventure a few days since. For six years he was in charge of a church in one of the working men's districts in the metropolis, and he still declares that the burden of the poor of London lies heavily on his heart. He was walking along the Thames recently at Richmond when a lively party of costermongers with their wives and sweethearts, who were spending a holi day on the river, rowed up to the bank and indulged in hillarious comments upon the broad brimmed hat, apron, and gaiters of the Prelate. They drank hu health with musical honors from a large jar of Swiss whisky, and one fair siren declared she would like to embrace " the blooming old general," and invited him to take a seat in the boat. The rest of the party readily acquiesced in the invitation, which was cordially accepted, somewhat to the confusion of the company. When the boat pushed off, the Bishop in a quiet and happy manner urged upon his friends the advantages of temperance and promised if they would throw the whisky jar overboard, he would pro vide them a good substantial tea higher up the river. The offer was accepted and the Bishop was allowed to throw the whisky overboard, and later on he carried out his promise to the fullest extent and joined his coster friends with the cup that cheers but not inebriates. Bishop Julius a few days since sddressed the Bishop of Bedford's annual meeting in Bast London, when he contrasted the h»ppy position of the people who emigrated from this over crowded country with those who re mained behind. He had come, he said from a country where there was no such poverty as existed here, where the children were bright and fresh, well-fed, well clothed, well educated, and where honest, hard-working men, had work and were well paid for it. With the recollection of the beauty and bright ness and freshness of colonial life in his mind, he felt he said the burden of the poor of London more painfully than he had ever felt it before. A crisis might be coming in London, and in another thirty years he might be the New Zealander of whom Macaulay spoke long ago, and who was to stand upon a broken arch of London Bridge and survey the ruins of the whole city. If such a thing came to pass it would hive been brought about not by the working of unbelief or socialism, but by the neglect of the Church. Bishop Julius gave a lecture at Highgate the other evening. His sub ject was New Zealand, but he did not confine himself to the usual scenic cum-farming groove. He had a full and appreciative audience, and made the most of his opportunity. The Radical and Socialistic enunciations of the bishop went down well with the people present, but he is said to have grievously shocked a very respectable tradesman of the neighborhood by his bluntness of speech. The " shocking " occurrod after the lecture. Bishop Julius was approached by a man and asked what chances the colony afforded for a young man who had served an apprenticeship in a bank. The eaid young man's father was the questioner, and he went into a long description of his son's abilities, short-comings, etc., finally winding up with the question : " What would you advise me to do with him V Said the Bishop gravely \ " You'd better cut his throat."
