    spected It is a as melancholy the Pall Mall thing Gazette to see a opening journal its so columns deservedl to y the reridiculous misrepresentations of prurient imaginations . In the impression of August 19 th , we find a letter from Dieppe , which is full of the most objectionable falsehoods from beginning to end . It gives a picture of sea-bathing at that charming watering of the place pictures , which in can the onl purlieus y have of been Wych derived street and from Hol a study ywell street . The writer commences by an inaccuracy which is only important as showing that , in a matter so easily capable of disproof as the situation of a building , he is too careless to be truthful . Everybody who has been at Dieppe knows that the warm baths are without the enclosure of the e ' tablissement within the gate of the town , and directly oposite the theatre , not the of marionettes vulgar insolence , but of the with live which drama this . But advocate nothing of can purity exceed goes wish on to as invent much a as scene of his , which imagination is , doubtless . Take , thi the s offspring sentence of as his a specimen : " But never in England have I had to make my way in a state of nudity ( drawers excepted ) , down a long beach thick with makes ladies little , many of whom and their bring books their which work I , misdoubt which I fancy their reading , and progress take up , their positions , as nearly as may be to the edge of the water , in which scores of naked men are disporting themselves . " This is entirely untrue . The ladies sit on the terrace in front of the Casino , and there are never more than waiting a very for few their at the husbands end where .

So much for proper delicate England .

    What Is The Mysterious Connection Betwee...

    What is the mysterious connection between licensed victuallers and the Evangelical persuasion ? The Morning Adverb tiser ellished , that with constellation so many rings of journalistic by the pewter literature -pots , of which devout is pub em - - licans that the , has Bishop been of thrown Oxford into is a to fearful go to state Winchester of alarm b that y hearing Dean " Stanley be the new is to Dean be Bishop of Westminster of Oxford , . and The that Deanery Dr .

Alford's Contemporary Review * All we can and say is who , that shall if the doubt statement the veracity of the of Morning this insp A ire dvertiser d journal is ' ?— true such , — a list of proposed recipients of Church patronage does credit to any Minister who selected them . It is long since so many distinguished men have been available candidates for the prizes of the theological profession , and it is important at a time when the Church of England is on its trial to show that she possesses among her members so many men of noble intellect and enli surrounded ghtened Christianity with grand . association There are s very as few those names of Dean that Stanley are so and Dr . Vaughan . There are few Reviews so distinguished for intellectual liberality undimmed by heartless scepticism as the Contemporary Review . We can imagine the fact of a man having but to have contributed written to in the the Rock Conte being ? a slur Revi on e his w is Christianity an honour ; of which any clergyman of the Church nporary of England , who does mig not ht deem be proud cultivation .

No doubt , there are many among the Evangelical saints adored by licensed victuallers who are respectable , if narrow-minded miration men ; but and , until respect they of can mankind produce , they some must greater expect claim to hide the their adlight under a bushel or a quart .

    ANOTHER LAW-COURT QUESTION .

    It Is Said That Sir Alexander Cockburn, ...

    It is said that Sir Alexander Cockburn , in consequence of ill health Court , of is Queen about ' to s Benc retire h . from If this the Lord is a Chief fact , we Justiceshi are extremel p of the y ' sorry for it ; more especially as rumour suggests Lord Penzance , as Sir Alexander ' s probable successor . What Lord Penzance has done to entitle him to the honours and rewards already heaped upon him , we cannot see . He is a good Judge , no doubt , and conducts the business of the Divorce Court in a satisfactory and creditable manner ; but this did not call for his elevation to the certa House inly would of Peers not , justif which y his took selection place a for few the months high place back which , and is understood to be about to become vacant . No doubt there are wheels within wheels in most matters , and we must suppose that the machinery which drags Lord Penzance up the ladder of promotion must be powerful and well greased .
