WELLINGTON.
Yesterday.' At the annual session of the Church of England Diocesan' Synod, the President, the Bishop of Wellington, in his opening address, said he could not but regard the present education system but as one that is likely, in years to come, to be prejtidicial to the interests of the colony. He condemned the Act of Parliament which legalised marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and hoped that no clergyman holding office in this district would celebrate the ceremony, in fact one clergyman had consulted him recently as to such a marriage, and he advised him not to solemnise it.
