THR Standard remarks it was not without warrant
that we predicted the total failure of Mr. Monsell's
Homan Catholic Oath Bill in the Ilona. of Pears. By
a decided majoiity the imition for its second readiou

Tut BISHOPRIC.—It In FtgtA upon
apparently traitworthy authority that Bishop Gobat is
upon the point of retiiiug from the Jerusalem epioopate,
and that he weal be succeede I by the Bev. Dr. Ewald.
Surely the authorities of our Church ought to have by
this time learned that it is most impale to place a
foreigner in position so eminently requiring the tact
and the prestige of • native-born Englishman. Dr.
Ewald is committed by predilection, and by other
eircumatancev, to tread iu the exact footsteps of
Bishop Gobat.
