Before Mr. LOWE'S plan in regard to the new Law Courts shall have been fo!rnally brought under the , consideration of the House of Commons in the form of a Bill, as promised to be done, if possible prior to Whitsuntide, by the Chief Commissioner of Public Works, it will be worth while considering, again, point bl.lnk what are especially referred to as its distinctive attractions by the projector of it himself, namely, the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exche quer. First and foremost, this third plan is particu.- laily commended to the national regard became of its being, of all three plan-, t hemost economical. Secondly —and this is the main merit claimed for it, and the peculiar reason for its being so economical as com pared with the Carey -street Site, and the grand Site on the Thames Embankment so enthusiastically eulogised by Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN—it is to have no frontage in the Strand ! It is to have simply one front, and not two fronts, North and South, as with each of the other two scllemcs for a Palace of Jus tice ! IlenCe the economy. Hence the simplicity of the projected new arrangement. Ifil away behind Howard-street, at the back of the Strand, there will be no necessity whatever, according to Mr. LowE's ar gument, for anything like architeeturul ornamentation or artistic display. Both the other plans front openly to the Strand. In the instance of the Carey -street plan, the southern Lcade of the vast structu re will be on the north side of the eastern extremity of the Strand, between St. Clement Danes and Temple bar, or rather between St. Clement Danes and Chancery-lane—seeing that Temple-bar will, in all likeiihc,o3, be removc - sd from its present position to ba r , _-et,.;:tect , -'oppos.ite. ti extrazity of. Chancery-40, as ono of the - eutvanen "to- the THE SUN, LONDJN, THURSDAY EV Temple. Again, in respect to the grand original suggestion of a Palace of Justice on the vast open space now cleared to view, for the most part, to the north of the Thames Embankment, between Somerset House and the Temple—the Strand Frontage along the whole of its northern facade was, and indeed still is, loudly in sisted upon as one of its conspicuous advantages. There cannot be two opinions, in fact, as to this—that the third plan, Mr. LowE's plan, the plan without any Strand fron tage at all, is a shirking of an expense and shirking of a difficulty. It is hiding away the New Law Courts on one site, at least, in a back neigh bourhood. It is sacrificing beauty, convenince, air, light, architectural effect, everything, to economical considerations. Now, that, we take it, is hardly be fitting the dignity of the country, the majesty of the laws, the power of England, the wealth of Lon lon. Economy is all very well, but —meanness ? And me.inneFs in a matter of such importance as this of a new resting place for the administratioa of the Laws of England? Whatever edifice shall be raised to this end, will be; not for to-morrow, not for next, year, not for the residue of the nineteenth century, it be for uncounted years, it will be for posterity. And, knowing this, to go and hide the new building away in a little back street running parallel with the Strand—a street so obscure that on mention ing it the Chancellor of the Exchequer had to explain to an audience of Londoners, meaning, to the mem bers of the House of Commons, only the other even. ing, that " there is a Street called Howard-street," and that there it is, in " a Street called Howard street," he proposed that the New Law Courts should be erected—does appear to us nothing less than paltry, does appear to us a mere grasping at economy, and a mere snatching at a manifest evasion of a difficulty, quite unworthy of the grandeur, power, pride, pomp, and wealth of the British Government. IVe are told now that not only must the Law Courts be hid away in a back street, but that it is idle to talk of them any longer as a Palace of Justice. A Palace ! We want no more Palaces, is Mr. LOWE'S argument. We want simply a decent building in which to find a home for some—not for all—of the Courts of Law. A Concentration of the Law Courts, at one time talked of, we are assured is quite as much of an extravagance to dream of, as it is an extravagance to dream of their ever being built up into a Palace of Justice. It yet remains to be see❑ whether the House of Commons is so infatuated by this hungering and thirsting after economy that they aN ill be contented to lop down the programme so very deplorably. W e are in hopes that the Commons of England will decide against a back street as the fitting locality for the New Law Courts. We are in hopes that, after all, the New Law Courts, wherever they may be eventually erected, will be not unworthy of being designated a Palace of Justice. 'We are in hopes that, notwithstanding all Mr. LOWE'S rough and ready arguments in the way of economy, that the Palace of Justice (that is to be) will look northwards on the Strand and south wards on the river—will be worthy of its juxta position to Somerset House—will be worthy of rising to view within sight of St. Paul's Cathedral i❑ the East and of the Houses of Parliament in the West —will be worthy at once of the Thames itself and of the Thames Embankment. THERE have been bigger failures than that - of BARNED'S Banking Company, but none more dis graceful. This company closed its doors on April 18, 1866, just nine months after they were first opened. Considering that the bank had a nominal capital of two millions, this was rather rapid work, ...r nrlrl Mit Liverpool men are wiser now than they were then, and the wonder is not that the bank lasted only nine months, but that it Listed nine weeks. The directors were nine in number ; three of them were MozLEYs, and they are the chief heroes in that most scandalous story which has just been published by the gentlemen who were appointed to watch over the interests of the unfortunate creditors. This report is certainly one of the most extraordinary documents ever published, and by the side of it certain other notable cases now before the law courts appear dull and uninteresting. The original bank of I. BARN ED and Co. became converted into a limited liability company just about the time that OVEREND, GURNEY, and Co. underwent the same transformation. The transfer was effected chiefly by Mr. L. B. MOZLEY and his uncle, who were, so to speak, the bank itself, and were considered of sufficient commercial standing to guarantee to the shareholders of the company the assets of the old business, which were ;hated to be about two millions sterling. The capital of the I reconstituted bank was divided into 40,000 shares of £5O each. The whole of them were, in a fashion, allotted, and, with one or two trifling exceptions, the amount of £lO per share was registered as paid. Of these shares, however, only about 14,000 were held by bond fide shareholders. The remaining 26,000 stood in the names of adventurers, speculators, and clerks without means or resources. The latter had lent themselves to the Messrs. MozLEY to assist in floating the bank, and the Messrs. MOZLFY in return paid up the £lO call on these nominee shares with money drawn from the banking company. Of these shares there are 16,500, which should have produced on calls £660,000, which have produced £4,000 ; and 12,300 shares which should have pro duced £492,000, but which have produced nothing. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that "about a year after the stoppage the money of the creditors seemed gradually vanishing," and that they determined to form an association to watch over their interests. The truth is that Liverpool morality is of a very peculiar character. It thrives best under the most unfavourable circumstances ; it thrives worst under the most favourable. Those of the unlucky shareholders who have made the greatest efforts to meet the calls are small tradesmen and other persons, who have been sorely pinched in making up their contribution of R 19,500. " The higher we have gone," say the three gentlemen appointed by the Shareholders' Association, " the less inclination we have found to prove that honour and high position are inseparable qualities." It is when the highest point of all is reached that this separableness is most apparent. It is when we come to the directors that, with two exceptions, we find the greatest reluctance to meet' their obliga tions. Two of them have discharged their liability to the estate; the others have not done so; and of the MozLEY family the three examiners say, " They are, to all appearance, the only persons who have not suffered in their style of living, or in their peace of mind by the disastrous result to the affairs of the company." Why should they have suffered ? For them the nine months' swindle has been a most pro fitable transaction. Let us see what they put into the bank and what they have drawn out of it. Mr. CHARLES MOZLEY is the millionaire of the lot, he was actually worth £23,000, which is the amount that is forthcoming to meet liabilities of 9 :30,304. Clearly Mr CHARLES MOZLEY will henceforth be able to say with the Pharisee that he gives tithe of all that he posesses. This is more than his nephews can say. Mr. C. F. Mozr.Er owes the bank for calls and other liabilities £19,610. To meet this liability he holds shares in four companies, worth together £6B, and furniture worth £-14 17s. There is also " an unsound horse," sold at TATTER sALL's for £9 Os. ; but as the bill for the keep of this noble charger amounts to £26, the steed can hardly be set down as an asset. Mr. C. F. MozLEy's deficiency is, therefore, £19,507. Mr. L. B. MOZLEY has outshone his relatives. He owes on calls £214,200, -he has overdrawn, his account £8,245, and be has . other liabilities Anountizig to £115462J, Altozetkes. hip liabilities are £340,728. His assets are shares in the Liverpool Athenaeum, worth £10; twenty shares in a theatre company, worth nothing ; 150 Empire Marine Insurance shares, worth an equal amount ; and a share in a music saloon, worth £6O ; together £7O, leaving a deficiency of £340,658. These gentle men, having done so well for themselves, deserved the confidence of the public. But public confidence in these commercial days means money, and so on the afternoon of the day on which the bank stopped with liabilities £2,000,000, these three directors paid themselves £l,OOO for a quarter's service in the management of the bank. They had, in fact, managed it so well, that the assets, which it was calculated would produce £850,000, have after just three years yielded £160,000. Next to the astounding impudence of the MozLEYs, that which astonishes us most is the credulity of the Liverpudlians. Here were a gentleman worth £132 17s. and an unsound horse, and another gentleman, worth £7O in theatre and music hall shares, entrusted with two millions of money. Nor does our surprise end here. Having thus deceived and plundered their fellow townsmen, we might have expected that these persons would have been prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the law. On the contrary, everything has been made pleasant for them. Instead of winding up the company in the Bankruptcy Court, where unpleasant disclosures would have been made, the bank has been wound up in Chancery, to the great advantage of the directors, and to the great loss of the creditors and the share holders. The three inspectors point out that Messrs. Mom.= declared that the bank had earned a profit of £35,880 exclusive of interest and commission on ' current accounts, and sixteekt days afterwards the bank closed. What has become of this amount ? The inspectors seem to think that if the question is put in another place than' that of the Court of Chancery, an answer satisfactory to the creditors and the shareholders may be obtained. It may not be quite so satisfactory to Messrs. Mon,Ey. THE remarkably unanimous character of the de bate on Sir H. SELWIN-lEBETSON'S Beerhouses Bill is only one of amongst many signs of the change which has come over the spirit of the House of Commons. The progress of the last three years has at least had the effect of convert ing many standard points of doctrine into obsolete prejudices. Some clauses of what was once the Liberal creed have fallen far behind the regene rated Tory programme. Amongst these may be reckoned the old antipathy to discussion, not to speak of legislation, on Tory licenses, landlords, and liquor. On no subject, if we except the game laws, did the old school wax so furious. All attempts to interfere legislatively with the greatest evil of the age was met with the stereotyped assertion that Englishmen were getting more and more sober, but that if they were not, it was impossible to make them sober by Act of Parliament. For years the opponents of national encouragement to drunkenness were met by these respectably ancient pleas, and by the " brute force " of a majority which, having learned the virtue of beer on polling-day, did not like the flow of the barrel to be restricted. But all this is changed. We hear less of the impossibility of making men sober by Act of Paliament. It is admitted that British drunkenness is not quite satisfactory. Mr. HENLEY cannot doubt that beerhouse legislation has failed, and if he is not hopeful of improving the existing state of things, he is not disposed to inter fere with those who wish to try. Mr. BRUCE finds it impossible to deny that there are special evils attendant upon beerhouses, and promises that the whole subject of licensing shall be taken into consideration. Meanwhile Sir H. SELITYN IBBETSON'S bill is allowed to pass without opposi tion. The measure is by no means such as to finally satisfy the advocates of temperance, but it is a decided step in the right direction ; and its acceptance by an assembly which has hitherto resisted every reform of +TIP kind is not, withnnt Riznificance. The object of the bill is to transfer the power of granting beerhouse licenses from the excise officers to the magistrates. Formerly, the latter, who were in a position to make all inquiries both as to the requirements of the locality and the character of the would-be liquor vendor, had complete jurisdiction in the matter of licensing. But since 1830 beerhouse licenses have been granted by the revenue officers, who are not only unable to institute any inquiry, but have some sort of interest in granting as many licenses as possible. All that is required of the applicant is a residential qualification, and a certificate of character from six householders. This sage measure really esta blished the principle that anybody might sell beer with out restriction. The residence proviso is palpably worthless, and the testimony of six householders is so slight a check that a. thief has been known to com mence dispensinghis adulterated abominations imme diately after leaving Prison. Such a wholesale letting loose of unprincipled liquor vendors has been attended with the worst results. The beer sold is bad ; though it is evident that if people will drink, they ought, at least, not to be poisoned. Drunkenness has increased since the passing of the Act. In this respect we must judge, not by later statistics, but by the years immediately preceding and following the passing of the Act. And so great was the increase of drunkenness after 1830, that even the House of Commons of that period thought the sub ject worth inquiry. That the beerhouses are nests of immorality is a fact which cannot be set aside by the assertion that public-houses are as bad, or worse. The bill which passed the second reading on Tuesday deals very tenderly indeed with the question. It provides ample facility for the granting of licenses for the sale of beer not to be drunk on the premises, but licenses for drinking houses will be placed on the same footing as public-houses. In order to secure this distinction increased powers of conviction are provided. As a whole, the measure is only a partial attack upon the present licensing system, but it is a beginning. And so difficult is reform in this direc tion that thirty years of effort have been necessary to secure even this slight and obvious change. In 1839 Lord BROUGHAM brought in a bill to stop this broadcast distribution of bad liquor. In 1809 these endeavours have been successful. , z7 , * V.es ' 4 ` 6 111 11 ManiNt HER MAJESTY.

The entertainments at this theatre have been made particularly attractive by the introduction of the charming little drama, -" One Touch of Nature," hit() the bill. The character of Triplet in " Masks and Faces" is perhaps one of the finest of all Mr. Webster's character; and after it comes Mr. William Penn Holder in the petite drama first-mentioned. The representation of this character last evening by Mr. Webster . was touchingly pathetic, and, as of oil, he held the feelings of the entire audience at his command during the performance. As a speci men of dramatic art the part ranks in the very highest order, and Mr. Webster is the only actor on the stage who can truly pourtray the grief at the supposed toss, and the excessive joy at the discovery that the succes,ful actress, who holds managers at her command, is the daughter of the humble prompterand copyist, William Penn Holder. lheperformance elicited the most enthusiastic ap pla.u.ie, aud..ove t4o. greatest Satigactiou to a Very large and brillia,ut audielacesv.- N ING, APRIL 29, 1859. DEAZOASITATION IX CO1:K. The correspondent of the Evening Standard telegraphs from Cork as follows :—" April 28. At a late hour last night Colonel Warren and Captain Costelloe, the released Fenians, were met at a public supper by their political friends. The mayor was loud in his denunciation of England, declaring his readiness, if he were able, to drive every Englishman out of Ireland. The streets were paraded during the night by large mobs with blazing tar barrels and bands of music. The mayor, in the course of one of his speeches at the Fenian banquet, said there was at this moment in the country a young prince of the English nation. [A voice: "He be " (applause.] The Mayor continued—When that noble Irishman, O'Farrell, fired at the Prince in Australia (cheers) he was imbued with as noble and patriotic feelings a 3 Larkin, Allen, and O'Brien were (Vociferous cl:etr'ng, and cries of " Ile was.") He believed that O'Farrell would be as highly thought of as any of the men who had sacrificed their lives for Ireland. (Deafening shouts of "Bravo.") They all saw how a noble Pole had fired at the Emperor of Russia because he thought that the Emperor was trampling upon the liberties of the people. (Cheers.) Well, O'Farrell probably was actuated by the same noble impulses when be fired at the Prince. (Cheers.) O'Farrell was as as noble an Irishman as the Pole, and as true to his country, for each was impelled by the same sentiments to do what they did. Warren and Costello sail to-day for New York." TRADE ACCOUNTS, The trade accounts of Belgium, Hollanu, and the United States have just been laid before Parliament. The Belgian accounts shew : increase on the total value of the enumerated imports and exports in the month of January 1869 of 11 and 16 per cent. respec tively as compared with. those of January ' IS6B. Those connected with this country exhibit some fluctuations. In many instances, such as coal, raw cotton, and some kinds of metal, the value of the imports from the *United Kingdom into Belgium increased largely from 1867 to 1863 and fell again in the present year. Fish shows us some curious changes. Her rings, which were largely imported in 1863, only amounted to 439 kilogs. in this year. Flax in 1867 was imported to the value of 73,661 kilogs., in 1863 it fell to 204, and in 1369 it rose again to 1,037. Iron of most kinds largely izcreased in value, as have also machines and machinery. Hops, which in 1867 were 29,265 kilogs., were in 1868 only 582, andinlS69 abSolutely nothing, Turning to the exports, ne find the export of bark to this country is much larger than last year, though less than the year before. Corn ;gain is more largely exported, and flour shows a remarkable increase froM 57,46 S to 656,603. Window glass has greatly increased. The export of wrought-iron to Great Britain has risen from 858 to 84,660 kilog s ._ a significant fact for our workmen. In Holland the import of our coals has more than d:Aibled, while undressed hides have also added to the increase. In metals and machinery there are likewise a perceptible advance, and the English cotton imports once more assume a prominent place. It is gratifying to find the value of these steadily rising during the last three years. The value of the metals exported to the United Kingdom from Holland has largely increased, especially in raw tin, unWrought lead, &c. The exports of butter and cheese have risen ma terially in value. The account for the United States compare the seven months ending 31st July in 1868 and 1867, but do not divide the exports and imports under different national heads. Most of the items exhibit a marked decrease in value on the value of last year, oils, coal, and petroleum forming a notable exception. The total value of imports, including bullion and specie, were, in 1867, $237,524,089, and in 1865, $229,44V),253. The oxports in the same p2riods were respectively $307,6693 and $280,497,767.

Mr. Henry Walker, the secretary, gave an outline •of the contentsof the report, which shewed that, with one exception, the two o'clock closing on Saturday had been maintained, and was extending in the West-end of London, while other shops had adopted four o'clock instead of six, and five o'clock instead of eight. The guide brought out to assist this part of the operations had proved a great success, and the ladies' committee were still indefatigable in their labours. In the provinces the half•holiday was given on Wednesday or Thursday, as Saturday war usually the market day. General early closing ha(' obtained numerous additional adherents both in Loader and the --country, especially amongst drapers, hatters and wholesale warehouemen. In Bristol, Rich mond, Colchester, Leicester, and fifteen other places the canvass had been highly successful ; and from communications to hand it appeared that effort, in the same direction were being made in the colonies notably Australia, whence several applications had beer received for the illuminated placards and publications o' the association. More recently an Affiliated Society hac been formed in Paris, and its promoters were in corre spondence with the secretaries, their letters describing th, enthusiasm with which the Parisian shopmen had enterer into the spirit of the movement. Financially the associa, tion continued to progress, and the receipts, amounting t( £1,098 13s. 11d., enabled the treasurer to announce a smal balance in favour of the general account, and a some larger one as standing to the credit of the Saturda3 half-holiday fund.

Dr. Russell, whcse celebrated letters to the Times on be Crimean war gave him a name and established his ame, writes home an interesting account of his second iisit to the scene of his former privations, trials, and riumphs. His description is of the visit of the Prince .nd Princess of Wales to the place, but the portions which ere most remarkable are those in which the doctor ecalls the memories of the spots now so famous. Speaking if his sighting of Sebastopol from the ship Euxine, in which he royal party sailed up the Black Sea, the writer says:— To some of us the exclamation, There is Sebastopol !' reused a strange emotion. There it was, indeed—the dim ontour of Fort Constantine dancing in the mirage far way, the wend-mown outlines of the landscape of the ilatenu seamed with the French trenches near at hand, and rowned by the ridges of the Flagstaff Bastion, the Medan, he Malakhof, the Mamelon, Catheart's.hill e Karaiesh, ,nd Kazatch, once black with masts and hulls, now eft to the wild duck and the seagull—not a trace of the >use' town to which war gave a vigorous commerce which aniBhed like the pall of white smoke that once hang roe the city beyond. As we opened the entrance to the oadstead, and well-remernbered fit ots came to view, here came a feeling too deep for w crds. The officers n the bridge had still the seine rid chart to guide hem which served our fleet in 1834. There is a coarse, nit very accurate, engraving of the appearance of the utrance, as cis n front the at a, to direct the course ( f essels ; but on the bluffs or projecting points where were Fort Nicholas, Tort Alexander, and Fort Paul presetting heir casemated fronts, there is now nothing but some scat ered blocks of stone. The eye eagerly sought out through he gle se the familiar landmarks, and found them ; but there vere some objects which came in sight that were new tons. Ns the north side there is the Memorial Chapel which the lions care of . the Emperor has erected, and there is also the North Cemetery on the hill side, behind Fort Cathe the, with its array of charnelshouses in white stone and ,he monument to Prince Gortechakoff. On the south side there is a conspicuous monument on the Malakhof, .nd in front of the ruined pile of barrack and hospital, behind the Peden, towers a colossal statue. I'hc first effect of Sebastopol in its present state (the loctor goes on to say) to new comers is one of surprise. They say the place is much smaller than they expected. indeed, it is difficult to understand, as it now ap rears, how the genius of the engineer and the rrovery of an army could have cast a Wall so strong around those ruined heaps that the legions and fleets of two great POW ers and two potent auxi .iaries were held at bay for eleven long months and ' nore. The forts on the north side are jest as they were ,vhen the Allies evacuated the Crimea. As we ran past Fort Constantine there were just three men on the Parapet, and about eight or ten on the reek behJw. There eels no flagstaff, and, as far as I could make out, no gun .0 any casemate. Nowhere, indeed, could we see the sign rf a Russian flag. The character of a military port or station has been quite abandoned." The Times correspondent goes on to give his impressions of the Memorial Chapel, the great cemetery, and the places around them. Ile recalls deeds of valour, as he goee front Joint to point, and asks how this or that was done. Then .le reminds us of the Alma. " The Prince, disnmenting, sxamined the position with interest, and inspected ;he names on the memorial stone, and Captain Sit ariatine pointed out to his Royal II igh (less the position of the Russian corps, and related how he and his army on the • heights saw the Allies advancing in megnificent as ray, but very slowly as it seemed, front their bivouac on the Alma, and how his Marines, who did not tire a shot, and were in the rear of the paulement, nevertheless lest nearly fifty men from the long•ranging rifle bullets of the British regiments. The field is unchanged : every embrasure cut in the (fic. , ,u'iit can be traced, and the traverses can as it anbe counted. ahe bridge over the river is very will be was, and in September next it is probable there who vineyards full of grapes, as before but of n clambered up that gently murelcrous 3lope, andt'ho joined in the wild (a which ruse yof victory and in the cheers r • from the bridge beyond as the Guards threw up their bearskins around Lord Raglan, how many have gone to join their comrades who then were stretched lifeless below them ? Well might the Prince of Wales ask ; Why did we advance straight against the Russian guns.' Nearly a thousand men of the gallant Light ilivision, which drew the teeth of the Russian batteries, and forced them to withdraw their pieces, leaving to the Guards a comparatively easy task, might have liked to Lear the answer. 'We saw where Gortschakoll's tent stood--where Menschikoff's headquarters were— and then, mounting once more, left tie _Princess and Mrs. Grey, ti ho had come up in a pony carriage, and, crossing over the bridge and y the ford, rode rapidly through Boorborik, saw where die Sec,:nd wog divided by the flames, where :.ord Raglan crosed with his stall, wLa re rrlocc Napo. eon's division furtive' the stream and was held in check iy ,he gathering masses dove them, and looked :tw0 . ... to the ,eight, towards the ford at the mouth of the river, belie:C.ll he c rag,lii.e and precipitous Lamks where Los net, covered t h e ti re of the fleet, passed his corps across, and, like ants, and sp , king up his guns, turi:ed the lfilssian left."

What a scandal this is we could .ippreciate to some degree after our visit to the Russian Cemetery ; but it was not until we had seen the French that we quite understood its enormity. The Russians are as anxious as we ought to be on the subject. They have done all they could, and more than could have been expected. The Czar has pm.• chased the fee simple of the land occupied by our numberless graveyards—they are not numberless, for it is said they are nearly 70, but I suspect there must he some , Aagg,_ration in that - and the Government can scarcely be called on to take care of the graveyards themselves.

Pray turn public attention to this. Surely no British Parliament would grudge. the money needed to save the national reputation." The field of Lahti-Java much interested all the party who visited it. "It is still easy to mark the site of the Light Division and of the Second Division Camps, hut it is not possible to indicate very particularly, or specially, the position of individual buts. We passed through the lines of the old camp or cantonment from the Fourth Division to the extreme right, but there was no time to visit the Third Division or the Naval Brigade; and, indeed, but for lines of stones here and there and the old lines between tents and huts, still marked out by rude pavement, there was little to distinguish the several localities of the ground once so full of and teeming with men. 1 ra,:me7:l,l of broken glass give evidences of Christian and cirilise.l occut , ation which promise to be im mortal ; for the plough is not known, and the old farms are abandoned.

The pomp and circumstances of glorious war ' Liss vanished. The earth has bubbles as the water hath, and these are of them.'" Inkerman, the Malakoff, and the Mamelon, are also enthusiastically described. A slightly favourable change has taken place in the health of the Bishop of Salisbury.
