A FAREWELL charge is an unusual event, and it is not often that Bishops khow when they are address ing their clergy for the last time. Death removes them from their office unawares. The late Bishop of EXETER occupied the rare position we have men tioned, for when a man is well on towards ninety he may be pretty sure that another triennial period will see . him either in the grave, or at least in his bed. But no prelate now living had appeared before his clergy and spoken to them, con scious of that being his final exhortation until the Bishop of OXFORD held his visitation at his cathe dral last week. Neither the Bishop of WINCHESTER, nor the Bishop of BATH and WELLS, nor the Bishop of ST. ASAPH contemplated resignation at their last visitation. It has remained for one of the most successful as well as eloquent of Bishops to perform the unwonted task of reviewing his own episcopate. For twenty-four years Dr. WIL BERFORCE has presided over the important diocese of Oxford. During that time he has seen one of the most eventful periods in the history of the English Church. When he ascended the throne at Christ Church, Oxford, nearly the whole Church was shaken to its foundation by the Anglo-Catholic movement, and its resulting secessions to Rome. NEWMAN had just gone over. The Bishop's own brothers followed a little later, and quite recently their example has been imitated by his daughter. His brother-in-law was one of the most active of converts, and is now the foremost of English Romans -by virtue of his office of Archbishop of WESTMINSTER. Three years after Dr. WILBERFORCE'S consecration these secessions produced their not unnatural result in the violent anti-Papal-aggression agitation. The Bishop of OXFORD was strongly suspected of keenly sympathis ing with the Romanisers within the English Church, and it is only recently, only because there has grown up a school far more extravagant than the Oxford Tractarians of a quarter of a century back, and compared with which the Bishop and his friends seem ultra-Protestant—that he has ceased to be suspected. Latterly there has grown up another school, with its headquarters at the Bishop's own cathedral city. If Oriel and Christ Church were supposed to have taken their inspiration from Rome, Balliol is thought tc have taken its inspiration from Tubingen. If the Regius Professor of llebrew is at the head of one school, the Regius Professor of Greek is at the head of the other. If Dr. PUSEY i. chief rabbi in the first, Mr. JOWETT is chief rabbi in the second. It cannot be denied that the second school has increased far more in proportion than the first. The first, indeed, is still by much the more numerous ; but seeing what a change has been made in one decade, who will venture to limit the change that will be effected in another ? It is, however, the Romanisers rather than the Rationalists whom Bishop WILBERFORCE most fears. "Faith," he says, " endured among us a far ruder shock from perversions to Rome than from the scientific dis coveries by some supposed mainly to endanger its continuance. . . . Hatred of science is unworthy of a Christian man. Nor need we be afraid of the result if some seek to array science against Chris tianity. The assault of such enemies against the sacred deposit of the truth, the Church has from the first endured, and can endure again and again." Only internal corruptions can make her fall be fore her enemies. Bishop WILBERFORCE has been essentially a v'a media prelate. He has not, like the late Bishop of EXETER, attempted to exclude from the mini stry all persons who do not hold the doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration, nor has he, like the present Bishop of MANCHESTER, suppressed ruthlessly, and with almost brutal intoler ance, the least excess in ritual. What is the result of this moderation, tolerance, and equity Simply that Oxford has become the model diocese of the kingdom. In none other is Church work so extended and so vigorous, in none is there so thorough a Church tone. The theological training college at Cuddesdon, the sisterhoods at Clewer and Wantage are among the most striking instances of energy. But beyond these are the innumerable churches which have been built or restored, and (which is far more important) the innumerable services which have been added, and the immense army of candidates who have been confirmed, all uniting to bear witness to the untiring energy of the Bishop who is now taking leave of the diocese. The mere money value of the work accomplished in the way of church and school building—amounting to over two millions sterling— appears extraordinary when it is remembered that this is an agricultural diocese containing no very large town, none larger than Oxford and Reading. But the money represents a very small proportion of the work accomplished. The devotion of time and thought and labour far outweigh the pounds, shillings, and pence. That this is so, is due in large measure to the example set by the head of the diocese. Bishop WILBERFORCE has always been a worker, and he has expected other men to work. They have nobly followed a noble example. Thus the Bishop who is to succeed him will find that he has come among among men eager to strengthen his hands, and in that way the always difficult task of ruling such a diocese as this will be rendered more easy. Yet it can never be really easy to fill the place of such a man as the outgoing Bishop of OXFORD. General J. BANKIIEAD NIAGRUDER made his name historic as a Confederate General during the great Ci%il War. No officer of the United States Army threw his sword more readily against the Govern ment he had been trained to serve, than did this Virginian. lie was true to his State and true to his section, if false to the I Tnion—a choice which nearly broke the hearts of such men as LEE and STONEWALL JACKSON to make ; but he had to make it, and he loyally abided the result. The world can recognize a noble and gallant soldier iu General MAGRUDER; But can New England ? —and that is the question we desire to answer. Leas than a month ago that gentleman stood on a lecture plat form, before au intelligent audience crowding a great hall. On his entry he was welcomed by a burst of applause, and who do our readers suppose were those who thus greeted an unrepentant rebel ; none others than the best citizens of Boston, the concentrated essence of New Englandism, and the focus whence spread the thought, the opinion, the spirit which • gave rise to the war, to the desolation of Southern homes, to the subjugation of Southern States, and to the annihilation of Southern slavery. It was a strange meeting for one of a band, another of whose members had threatened to call over the roll of his slaves on Bunker's Hill, to be there with New Eng landers listening with respectful attention to what he had to say. Curiosity to see a real Confederate General had, perhaps, something to do with filling the Music Hall, yet the incident is of importance, as marking the progress of reconciliation. His first words went back to the time when, as a young offi cer of the United States Army, he was stationed in Boston, and was as familiar as any of the inhabi tants with the city as well as its suburbs. He did not discuss a subject bearing directly on the United States, but he spoke freely on one of deep interest to the neighbouring Republic, and probably against the prejudices of the mass of his audience. MA GRUDER was the last of the Confederate Generals wbo held a command, for he was far off in Texas at the time of LEE'S surrender, and for a period it was doubtful whether in the Lone Star State he might not still continue the war against the Union. But his army dissolved, as defeated and hopeless troops without a Government and without an exchequer are apt to do, and the Confederate General crossed the frontier into Mexico, where he met MAXIMI LIAN, who changed his intention of proceeding by way of Vera Cruz to Europe. He took service under the German Prince and shared his fortunes, making him the subject of his lecture to the citizens of Boston. As might be expected from a man of MAGRUDER'S temperament and military training he became deeply attached to MA-XIMILIAN, whom he described as the friend and admirer of the United States, whose first design it had been to imi tate its policy in the administration of his own Government. lie had declined to accept the place of Emperor until elected by , what the General de clared to be the fairest and fullest election ever held in Mexico. The country was entirely unfitted for a Republic, and the only way whereby it could be Americanized was to let some intelligent foreign Monarch govern it, with an enlightened despotism, and in the interests of America. Now that the Union had been restored there was no need for fear, or for asserting the absurdities of the MONROE doctrine. These are not the opinions current in Bos ton, and we like MAGRUDER'S lecture all the better for his bold enunciation of them in that city, whether true or false. But we like still better to see this gen tleman loyally uphold, and in the finest spirit of a soldier, the character and memory of the SOVE REIGN into whose service he entered. He sketched MAXIMILIAN'S early career, and his marriage with CARLOTTA. In person MAXIMILIAN stood six feet two inches, his figure being as perfect as that of APOLLO. The expression of his face was beautiful, his complexion fair, speaking his German descent. His golden hair and beard and bright blue eyes com bined to make him one of the most comely of men. As for CauLorra, he could scarcely express his ad miration for her beauty, grace, and loveliness. He rapidly traced the differences with Mexico, which ended in the intervention of England, France, and Spain. The claims of the European nations were just, especially those of Great Britain, being founded upon the robbery, by JUAREZ, of her Mini ster in Mexico, . when the sum of $60,000 was abstracted by force from the Ambassador's house. The English were got rid of by Mexican diplomacy, and the Spaniards by bribes to their commander PRIM, who was promised, among other things, the place of EMPEROR instead of MAXIMILIAN, whose name had thus early come up. The French alone remained firm ; conquest, not mere redress, being Caeir object. MAXIMILIAN'S intentions were pure and noble, and he was well calculated had there been anything good in it to redeem that distracted and demoralised country; but the withdrawal of the French made a formidable enemy of JUAREi, who only a few days previously had neither a friend nor a dollar. MAGRUDER evidently considers that it would have been a wiser policy in the United States to cave supported MAXIMILIAN; but Mr. SEWARD .eems to have arrived at the opposite conclusion, and although MAXIMILIAN was not a party to the design of the Emperor NAPOLEON to establish in America a Latin counterpoise to the Anglo-Saxon race, yet be was its representative, and as such could not have been regarded with favour by the United States. To expect anything from a Mexi can but cruelty and dishonesty would be sadly to misread all the experience of the past. As a mat ter of course, when a Mexican captures his prisoner he shoots him ; equally, as a matter of course, when Mexico floats a loan it repudiates the bonds, and a man would be alike a fool who entrusted his person or his money to such keeping. MAxlmr- LIAN'S chivalry, generosity, and belief in mankind, (especially such a precious sample of it) bordered on folly. Extremes meet ; and his extreme goodness ch d to ie u dt e o d the bec o o h nie ud an lasting of astingreproach to the nation he hoped to save, to supply a theme to blast the Mexican character for centuries to come. JUAREZ was justified in hurling him from the throne,- for the injured Indian was not a party to the Ger ' man's election ; but Mexico was, Had that coun try had even a spark not of nobility, only of com mon sense, seeing what was stamped on the whole career of MAXIMILIAN—that he bad unself ishly given himself up to advance the interests of its people—after defeat, when alike helpless in their hands or out of them, it would have per ceived that the worst use to make of him was to shoot him. It is amusing to watch the efforts of this despicable nation, in its Present financial ex tremity, to raise more money. It (tomes whining to Europe for funds, with the usual blits which seldom fail to attract English gudgeons, wio are mercilessly plundered and insulted on the moraentary wants of the Mexican Indian savage being supplied. Secre tary SEWARD has lately gratified himself by the sight of his fine handiwork to the North in Alaska, and to the south in Mexico. lie may be right, alike in his Northern and Southern policy, but neither, just now, presents any special attraction, and a masterly inactivity might have proved better, for both gravitate one way, independently of feeing with piles of gold the Russian AUTOCRAT, or of needlessly consigning to a cruel death the noble minded MAXIMILIAN.— A ngiO.American Times.

LORD PORTA.RLINGTON O2' THE LAND QUESTION: The Leineter Express publishes a correspondence on the land question between the Earl of Portarlington and the Very Rev. Dr. Taylor, an influential parish priest of the Queen's County. Lord Portarlington asks Dr. Taylor "what landlords are to understand to be the real meaning of the words `fixity of tenure,'" The phrase was once, his lordship adds, " security of tenure." "If fixity of tenure really means the handing over of the property of the landlord to the tenant, subject to a mere rent charge to the owner of the soil, then I say such a scheme deserves the reprobation and strenuous opposition of every honest man in the kingdom. I feel certain (continues his lordship) no Govern ment would ever propose/such a measure, or any Parliament be found to pass it." Lord Portarlington is in favour of defining what, for the future, are to be the legal rights respectively of owner and occupier; he would secure to the tenant full compensation for all unexhausted improvements, and would "promote the security of tenure by encouraging lettings at a fair rent, and for suf ficiently prolonged and fixed periods." Dr. Taylor answers that he only contemplates " fixity of tenure " in the extreme case of a whole popu lation being ruined, and the farming class extir pated. According to his own notion of " security," it " matters little how much an Act of Parliament will do if a tribunal is not established, invested with large powers, to decide questions between landlord and tenant in an equitable way." Lord Portarlington, replying, dismisses fixity of tenure, inasmuch as there is no " extir pation of the farming class." He remonstrates ,against "revolutionary proposals which disgust every honest, right-minded man in England and Scot land ;" and for himself " rejoices in the prospect of legislation." He fully agrees with Dr. Taylor as to a court of arbitration. He thinks it would bo of great service both to landlord and tenant, and has little doubt "the Government measure will embody some such scheme." Lord Portarlington approves generally of Mr. Caird's suggestions. THE CONTROL DEPARTMENT. The Times publishes the warrant &oft up by Sir Henry Storks, by which a control department is established at the War Office. The state of anarchy and confusion has lasted long enough. For more than two years Sir Henry Storks, assisted by Sir William Power and General Bal four, has toiled unremittingly at removing the confusion under the pressure of much opposition not altogether disinterested. His efforts have not, however, been without success, and last Friday a royal warrant received Her Majesty's signature, which has called int 6 existence a controlling element over the discordant branches that have hitherto provided for the supply of the army, and which promises a great increase of efficiency with at the same time a large reduction of expen diture. By the terms of this warrant the different Departments of Military Supply and Transport are to be amalgamated into one body. These depart ments were the Commissariat, which provided for the food and fuel of men and horses while in health ; the Purveyor's Branch, which had charge of the feeding of the sick; the Store Department, which held the custody of other stores ; and the Barrack Department, whicn was intrusted with the care of buildings. These are to be fused into one service named the Control Department, superintended and directed by a single officer, the Controller-in-Chief, acting under the orders •of a Secretary of State for War. The ranks of the administrative officers of the department are to be—controller, with the relative rank of Major-General; deputy-controller, with the relative rank of colonel ; and assistant-controller, with the relative rank of lieutenant -colonel. The appointments to the depart ment are made by the Secretary of State for War, on its first formation, by the selection of competent officers from the existing departments of supply, from the War Office, and from the army generally. In the latter case the officers are not to be below the rank of captain. The department is subdivided into two Sub-Departments: (1.) The Supply and Transport Sub-Department, including the Army Works Corps. (2.) The Pay Sub-Department. The duties of the former are to receive, hold, issue, and account for, under the orders of the administrative officers of the DepartmeLt in each command, all stores (including clothing) and provisions for the service of the army, and to superintend and direct all laud and inland water transport. The duties of the Pay Sub- Department are to receive and account for, under the authority and direction of the administrative officers of the dspartment in each command on behalf of the Secretary of State for War, moneys receivable and payable on account of army services. After the first for mation of the department the administrative officers are to be selected-1. From commissaries in the Supply and Transport Sub-Department. 2. From combatant officers of the army. Combatant officers so selected must have not less than five years' full-pay service as commissioned officers, and must have passed through the Staff College. The ranks of officers of the Supply and Transport Sub- Departments are to be—commissary, with the relative rank of major; deputy-commissary, with that of captain; and assistant-commissary, with that of lieutenant. Appointments in this Sub-Department are to be made from competent officers or others by the Secretary of State for War. Officers selected are to undergo a probationary service of twelve months as acting assistant-commissaries. before final appointments to the Sub-:Department. The ranks of officers of the Pay Sub-Department are to be— Paymaster, with the relative rank of major; deputy pay master, with that of captain; and assistant paymaster, with that of lieutenant. The appointments in this Sub- Department will bo conferred upon competent officers and others selected by the Secretary of State. The organisation of the Control Department is thus exceedingly simple. One single department, with two subordinate branches, will in future perform the duties hitherto supposed to be per formed by four separate administrations. The saving in the numerical establishment of officials will be very great; there will be one responsible chief answerable for all matters of supply and transport in each command, and with every army, so that if faults are committed the blame will no longer be bandied backwards and forwards between contending disputants. The saving of corres pondence by the fusion into one of four distinct depart ments will be large. The Echo says with reference to the subsidence 01 he Thames Embankment, that the report is absurd, " and there is no cause whatever for alarm. The subsidence be hind the wall of the Embankment is Perfectly natural in the case of newly-made ground, and it is not improbable that the paving will need adjusting again before the settle ment is perfect. The weight imposed by the construction of the Metropolitan District Railway may have increased the subsidence, but this is not necessarily a matter which should cause any alarm or excitement." Earl Grosvenor has issued his farewell address to the electors of Chester. His lordship says he is happy to say "that he shall not lose the privilege of social relations with the citizens," and his regret in wishing them farewell " can only apply to the expiration of many years of direct poli tical service." Ile hopes to be allowed to serve them still, and "to the end it will he his endeavour to cultivate the goodwill and the friendly feeling of all classes of the citi zens, which the ties of more than twenty years have taught him cannot be too highly valued, or too carefully pre- Eerved." A seaman at Kirkdale beat his little daughter so severely that in a few days sho died. The surgeon exa mined by the coroner's jury distinctly traced the death to the flogging with a strap. The coroner put it to the jury whether the father had exceeded " parental authority"(the child was two and a halt years old), and the jury "sympa thising deeply with the parents" brought in a verdict of "manslaughter, with a recommendation to mercy." The prisoner had the option of a small amount of bail, but this wits not forthcoming, and the man was removed to prison to await his trial. THE ROYAL AcADLAlY.—Arrangements are being made for an exhibition of great interest in the new rooms c f th e Royal Academy during the early months of the ensuing year. A committee of Royal Academicians is now busily at work collecting from the various private galleries in the Kingdom a number of fine works of the old masters, which will be opened to the public in January. Thus, the old British Institution Exhibition will be adequately replaced, probably on a larger scale. The collection will also include as many of the works of Stanfield and Leslie as can be got together. The Academy have in their own possession a most important work, with which the general public have no opportunity of becoming acquainted—the copy, by Oggion, of the cenacolo of "Leonardo da made for the Ceratos of Pavia —the most perfect memorial existing of . 11e great and now dilapidated inasteri*Po. Observer. COLSTON DAY AT BRISTOL. Colston Day in Bristol was celebrated as usual on Saturday. The Liberal banquet certainly went off with the greatest eclat. There were present Mr. Stansfield, M.P., Mr. John Morley, the borough member, Mr. Dixon, M.P. for Lirmingham, Mr. Marling, the representative of West Gloucestershire, and Mr. Richards, the recipient of the suffrages of Carmarthenshire. Mr. Stansfield's speech was the speech of the day. He began by congratulating the Liberals of Bristol on the success of their party in the country generally and in their own part of it in particular. "Whether I look to the results of the late general election in West Gloucestershire, or in East Cornwall, or in such borough constituencies as those of Bath, of Cheltenham, of Tewkesbury, of Brecon ; or, to go further west, of Hol ston and St. Ives; or if I bear in mind those two cathedral cities, Hereford and Exeter—constituencies in which both of the law officers of the late Government met their fate-- or if I cross the border and enter the precincts of the Principality in which, I believe, only one borough can boast a Conservative member, I say I cannot but feel that I am here, as it were, in the capital and centre of the Liberalism of the West, and that I am among friends, companions, and fellow-soldiers, who have fought a good fight, and deserve the success which has attended them." But this success (Mr. Stansfeld went on to say) only represents the triumph of principle. The elder member for Bristol was continuously bringing on the much dreaded annual motion—the Ballot. Memberd of the House of Commons shirked it, and ran away from it ; but now Lord Hartington's committee was likely to recommend it. Mr. Morley was also fighting hard in the good cause. (The mention of Mr. Morley's name was received with the utmost enthusiasm.) And the cause was making way. A great work had already been accomplished. Other labours were ahead. The freedom and purity of elections must be secured. Poverty, ignorance, and crime must be stamped out. The Govern ment must take up and deal with the licensing system of the country. Mr. Forster was ready to deal with . the question of education, and would deal with it in a statesmanlike manner. From this question Mr. Stansfeld passed to the land question. " The Irish land question is not one to be dealt with easily. There is no Royal road to the solution of the question of Irish land. Tho other day the Prime Minister, speaking before the citizens of London upon this subject, confessed to a great sense of the difficulty of his task, of the responsibility of his position ; and he entreated the encouragement, nay, the forbearance, of the public. These words of his have been interpreted in a sense which they will not bear. It has been said that they show upon Mr. Gladstone's part an incertitude of mind and a sense of fear. Those who have thus interpreted the words of the Prime Minister have forgotten the seriousness and the conscience of the man. There could be no greater mistake than to suppose that a sense of responsibility meant weakness, or that a perception of the difficulties of the task which has to be performed, and which shall be performed, meant a faint heart or an uncertain mind. I can tell you nothing of what are the details, but I can tell you something of the spirit in which the measure will be conceived and produced. The same honesty, the same courage, the same mastery at on"© o f inciples and details, the same comprehensive €, , -, as p, th e same untiring labour and energy which (K;nceived and passed the Irish Church Bill, are at wofK at this moment in the conception and will remain at work in the elabora tion of a measure with reference to the question of Irish land." Mr. MORLEY first " paid a tribute of respect" to the Premier, and then went on to refer to the Irish Church question. In closing his remarks on this subject he referred to the Temple controversy, and ex pressed a hope that ere long the Church of England would be as free as that of Ireland was. The question as to Dr. Temple, however, was happily settled. " With out going into that discussion with any antagonism, no one would be more glad than himself to help to free men from that position and assist them to attain freedom, which they would never arrive at by any other method than that by which they had arrived at it in the Irish Church question." Denouncing the University Tests Bill, Mr. Morley said he had a fast conviction that very much of their commercial delinquency had been strengthened by the system of sub scription. The Endowed Schools Bill was then eulogised; and the Bankruptcy Bill reviewed. As to the land question, he warned his hearers against re garding certain opinions as extreme. Land differed from other property in the respect that it was amenable for public use. There were certain things which needed to be grappled with to which he would just refer. The law of levying a distress for rent was one. He knew not any reason why a landlord, when £lOO was due for rent, should seize property worth £3OO or £4OO, and he ventured fro say in the House of Commons that law was passed because the landlo:ds passed it. Depression (Mr. Morley said) had laid hold on commerce. He had never known it so great. How was it to be relieved? There was a larger number of working mess out of employment than he had known for many years. Many mills had been put on in the cotton trade, but there was great suffering existing, and he had a strong impression that the real suf- fering was not reached by their poor laws. While the noisy ones, the vagrants, and impostors were getting their money by large sums, great suffering, what he would call quiet suf . fering was really never found. That relieving officer in a parish was most popular who was the most successful in keeping down the rates. What they wanted was, as in Germany, a system of visitation among the poor. At Elberfeld a friend of his found working men united in a visitation of the poor, and there were two results from this—impostors were d_tected and real suffering was relieved. They wanted, and he was in favour of, a more searching investigation as to the working of their poor-law system. Mr. DIXON, the secretary of the National League, of course spoke on his favourite subject of education. He declared that immediately the magic words of national, compulsory, unsectarian, and free education were pro nounced, they enlisted on behalf of the scheme able and leading mon in all parts of the country, and they found that they had now become, he thought he might say, a power in this country, and that before the next session of Parliament they would number not only many many thousands among the middle classes, but they would have (as they wished) branches established in every great centre of the country, and they would be backed by the whole body of the working classes. The League had no intention whatever of doing anything which should destroy the usefulness of the 25,000 existing schools. In their opinion the present denominational system, based upon voluntary effort, did not reach every child in this country. They intended to propose a scheme which would embrace within its limits all these schools, and add to them some thing more that might be necessary to provide sufficient school accommodation for every child in this country. Both Mr. Marling and Mr. Richard afterwards addressee the meeting. The Conservative dinner was addressed by several local magnates, by some clergymen, Bishop Anderson, and Major Allen, M.P. • The Cork and Limerick Farmers' Club have passed a resolution expressing a desire to see Mr. Byrne, the chairman of the Mallow Club, elected for Mallow. ARMS FOR NEW ZEALAND.—We learn from New Zealand, says a contemporary, that a select committee had been for some time sitting, to inquire into the description of arm most suitable for the use of the colonial troops, with the view of procuring the best sort with the £3,000 which was to be voted for the purpose. The arm which the committee had decided to recom mend is a rifle or carbine of a total length of from 33 to 40 inches, with swivel loops and slings; and a knife bayonet not exceeding 15 inches in length, and of a weight not exceeding 111bs., to be fixed to the under side of the muzzle. The bore of the rifle to be . 45, and the cartridge one on the Boxer principle, with central fire-cap. The rifle to be a breechloader, and, if possible, on the Martini- Henry principle. OLD LONDON BRIDGE. —The carriage -way of London Bridge is to be closed on account of repairs. When old London Bridge was being widened and repaired, in 1758, a temporary wooden bridge was built for the con venience of passengers and traffic. This temporary struc ture was destroyed by fire on the 11th of April in that year. It was supposed to have been fired by an incendiary, and the City offered a reward of £ 9 OO for the discovery of the criminal. The Lord Mayor licensed forty extra boats in consequence of this misfortune, which for the moment put a stop to the trade of London and Southwark. The inhabi tants of the Borough were also greatly distressed by the destz uction of the troughs which conveyed water to them during the repairing of the bridge. The ancient wooden bridge which was first erected was destroyed by fire in 1163, and was rebuilt under the inspection of Peter, curate of St. Mary Colechureh, in London. It was, however, determined in 1176 to build a stone bridge, and this structure was completed in 1 9 09. Peter was again employed, but (lied bef ore th e b r i dge was finished, and was buried in a chapel dedicated to St. Thomas, which stood on the ninth pier from the north end, and had an entrance from the river by a winding staircase. The bridge, however, required constant repairs, and the alterations in it a littlo more than a century ago cost nearly £lOO,OOO. THE REV. e. 11. SPURGEON.—We regret to state that the Rev. C. Ff.
