      The Rev . — Mackarness of ¦ , the new Bishop of Oxford , should have been born a sailor , for he will be all at See in his new position . Does any one know who he is ?

      The American crew complain that the Oxford four gave them " the wash " in the late race . In spite of this , they don ' t seem to have come out of the affair with clean hands .

      A Report Is Gaining Currency That Lieut-...

      A REPORT is gaining currency that Lieut-Colonel Thompson , who was supposed to be in command of the Volunteers in Belgium , was mistaken , by more than one of the Belgians for a soldier . We fear this pleasing and harmless on dil will prove to be a canard .

      This Is An Age Of Progress And Of Wonder...

      This is an age of progress and of wonderful inventions . In a paper published on Saturday morning appeared an announcement of the great success of the new drama at the Adelphi , which was not produced till that night . This beats the telegraph . Mr . Webster has been till lately rather behind the age . He now se ems determined to get the start of time .

      We understand that Doctor Cumming is about to receive a Cardinal ' s hat for his services rendered to the Roman Catholic Church by his work entitled the " Hammersmith Discussion , " which , from recent statistics , it appears has c ££ . J verted thousands of Protestants to Romanism . The learned Presbyter ( who

      is still taking in his coals by the scuttle ) , has fixed the end ' of the world for November the 5 th , having refused , finally , to make any arrangements for the holding of the Pope ' s Council .

      A Report Is Current, Although We Do Not ...

      A report is current , although we do not wish to assert that there is the least truth in it , to the effect that the First Lord of the Admiralty , in strict adherence to those principles of economy which so characterize his administration , proposes , in the interest of the public serviceto relinquish his official residence

      , at Whitehall , in order to afford greater room for the Admiralty clerical staff . If this magnanimous move on the part of Mr . Childers is agreed to by the powers that be , it will probably be accompanied by a snug douceur in the shape of compensation . Thisagainmight be economically applied in keeping up the

      , , First Lord's state and dignity at South Kensington . How pleasant it is to be able to feel that there is at least one conscientious member of the present Cabinet !

      Mr . Westropp has a very delicate conscience , which does not admit of his telling anything but the exact truth . He adprovided mitted before ^ 500 for the the Bridgewater purposes Election of bribery Commission , and when , accused having by the Commissioners of having sworn before the Committee of the House of Commonson his oathand on his honour as a

      , , gentleman , that he had not expended a single penny in bribing , or beyond the legal expenses , he naively replied , " I did not expend it—other persons expended it . " We are afraid the Commissioners hardly appreciated Mr . Westropp ' s simplicity .

      Mr. Westropp Has A Very Delicate Conscie...

      It is good that men should be brought face to face with the fact that perjury and falsehood are perjury and falsehood , even when only uttered in defence of such a respectable institution as Electoral Corruption .
