Wso is to be the new Bishop of Bristol and
Gloucester ? If public opinion either in or out of
the diocese could make the appointment, it would
be say to name the man. The Church wants
a man on the bench—and just now tape-
ciaPy—of seam, of conrog% of perfect know-
ledge of its history and its true policy, of libe-
rality, activity, and of okapis practical piety, like
the Dean of Biurrox. It wants a diviee whose
sympathise are at ones refined, cultivated, and
thoroughly and sincerely popular ; whose inelegance*
and frankness of speech eon on all ocesaions be do.
plaided on ; who sees dearly that the Chen* to emo-
tions national must, like the notice, booms liberal;
and who hos all the evangelical orthodoxy of Exeter-
hall, without a tinge of its sonnies ar intolerant%
The diocese, too, media men who to these Tidbits
unites a perfect acquaintance with its present position
and exigencies; for the late Bishop Mom, with rangy
fine sentiments continually on his lips, was in practice
a prelate of very small form of character, and such moo
always fall more or less into unworthy hands. The
coasequenos la that in the diocese there is plenty of
work fora tens-hewed bishop to do; and it re-
quires but one courageous Prelate on the bench to
row halt a doesn to resistance who are now
content to enettemb to the crafty domination of the
Bishop of 01101 D.
A serious responsibility rub on Lord PAIMMUITON,
M most be obvious to hies when he reflects upon the
mischief which one bad appointment of a Bishop by
Lord Asuman is at present accomplishing is the
dimes of Salisbury. Lord ABIRDEEN gratified the
personal friendship of Mr. Smarr Hunan by
raking a Dr. HAMILTON, whom no one bad ever
heard of, to that see. And the new bishop, who, in
the pride of his Avglicaniene, would deride the
liquefied= of Br. JANIIARIVie blood as a scan-
dams band at Naples, tells his flock at Bland-
ford that " haling the ►lood of the Apostles
rooming in his veins,' be will not coomarate their
berial-groand unless they treat his desire to Imes a
commeaaion-table in its chapel, a having an authority
which By. Pam never dreamed of for his dimities%

long in hie grave ; bat the white-haired old Dr.
BzEcau., Mrs. STowl's father, was there to open
the meeting with prayer—according to the old cus-
tom of the State. To us the most impressive fact
is that the general cry of this and the ghat
subsequat meeting, composed of citizens of all
politics and religions, all professions and parties, wee
for I•VENDELL PHILLIPS, the abolitionist and Disunion
leader. All his speeches are splendid ; and it may
be imagined how this one will work. The situation
of Disunion, virtual before, will ere long booms
actual and recognised. The sentiment of the first
meeting may be briefly expressed in the words of one
of the speakers—" The blood of this Northern man,
who had dared to stand up in the Senate of the United
Staters under circumstances that would have discos-

raged a man of leas ardour, lees enthusiasm,
and lees courage—that blood now stains the
Senate floor, and not all the water of the Potomac
can wash it out." A prodigious meeting was bold
in Finial' Hall the evening before the departure of
the last mail; end the next will being detailed so-
counts of the proceedings, and of Mr. PHILLIPS'S
speech. The New England annual Convention was
to take place the week after; and it may be confi-
dently predicted that it will be more like the
conventions of WASHINGTON'S days than any
that have been held since. Meantime this
quarrel puts out of sight and oat of mind the
quarrel with England; and the PZILSIDENT'S purpose
in aggras sting that dispute will be so far baffled.
Every man is repeating to himself and his neighbour
that the blood of their representative now stains the
Senate floor; and not all the water of the Potomac
can wash it out. The next thing said is that there
is nothing for it but the discomfiture of the Slave
policy or aspiration from it, and that this will be the
upshot, whether now or ten years hence.
