THE CONGE D'ELIRE.—The permission to elect a
bishop arrived in Manchester yesterday. A chapter had
been assembled on \Wednesday, in the expectation that on
that day the document would have come to hand, and could
have been acted upon. It is now probable that a chapter

malities of election. The first Bishop of Manchester, there-
fore, it is expected, will be consecrated before the expiration
of the present month.
TUE ARCIIIIIBIIOPRIC OP YORK is now authorita-
tively given by rumour to Dr. J. Sumner, Bishop of Chester.
Other dignitaries, however, are still freely named as probable
successors of Dr. Harcourt. Clerical gossip affirms that either
the Bishop of Durham or the Bishop of Norwich will be
raised to the vacant archiepiscopal see.—The Clutch
and Slate Gazette says :
The surmises (Lir they are nothing mare) mention the Archbishop
of Dublin (Dr. Whitely;, the Biabop a Worcester (Ih. Pepys, brother
of the Lord Chancellor), the Bishop ef Oxford (Dr. 8. Wilberform),
who is lightly talked of ea the "emit favourite." The Bishop of

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION,—The
third annual meeting of this society was held yesterday
everting, at the Freemasons' Hall. The large room was com-
lletely filled. The chairman, T. Farmer, Esq., congratu-
ated the society on the progress it had made. From the se-
cretary's report it appeared that the society had been
founded three years mace by only eight young men ; but
since then it had greatly increased. On New Year's-day
8,000 addresses were distrtbuted to young men in houses of
business with the most beneficial results. Branch usocia-
Mons had been formed in the various districts of the metro-
polis, all of which were well attended, and would be more so
but for the pernicious late-hour system. The receipts of the
last year amounted to 199/. 13r. 3d., being in excess over the
previous year 3111. 18s. 1)d. ; expenditure, 570/. 17s. 7d.;
balance paid to treasurer for previous year, 801. Os. 11d. ;
balance in hand, 81. 17s ltd. The report was received with
laud cheers. Resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the
emaciation were then adopted. The meeting was addressed
by the Rev. Messrs. Leifchild, Oldis, and Barret, and some
other gentlemen, and the proceedings terminated.
INQUESTS, YEATERDAY.—SI:SPICIOIIB DEATH AT
Haeaxer.—Before Mr. Baker, by adjournment for the
fifth time, at the Committee.rooms,Church.street, Hackney,
as to the death of Mr. S: Nelme, aged 73, whose death
was proved to have been the result of poison. The
deceased's grandson, William Allnutt, a youth of 12 years,
against whom a suspicion was raced, and who has since the
last meeting of the jury been taken into custody on the
charge of robbery, has admitted having stolen deceased's
gold watch and the twelve sovereigns that were missing.—
Dr. J. Letheby, chemical lecturer at the London Hospital,
gave evidence as to his further analysis of the contents of the
stomach. He had since his last examination by the
coroner, analysed the intestines and their contents, and
detected three grains of arsenic therein, which was alone
quite sufficient to account for death.—By the Coroner • Had
tented the brain also, and found traces of arsenic there
likewise. Should think, from the quantity of arsenic found
in the liver, and also the brain of deceased, that ho must
have been labouring under its influence for some time; and,
from the fact of its being discovered in the intestines, he
must have had a dose within 48 hours prior to his death.—
