WELLINGTON.
October 10. — Archdeacon Hadfield was yesterday consecrated Bishop of Wellington in St. Paul's Cathedral, by the Lord Primate, assisted by the Bishops of Waipu, Auckland, and Nelson. The service was choral, and.the assembly immense, crowds had to go away. The Bishop o{ Waipu preached a sermon in which he defended the Church "from the charge of having failed to benefit the native race. The oaths of tbe Queen's supremacy and of obedience were omitted ; but a declaration was made in lieu of the latter. Bishop Hadfield was formally inducted in the evening by the Lord Primate, and led to his chair by the Eev. Mr. Stock, the oldest clergyman in the diocese. The Primate preached. At St. Paul's the Bishop of Nelson preached most eloquently. The whole, proceedings were solemnly impressive,— H.M.S. Blanche leaves for Auckland to-day with the English mail. ,
