BISHOP COLENSO AND THE COLONIAL BISHOPRICS
FOND.—This case, which was expected to come on for
hearing this morning before the Master of the Rolls, is
definitively fixed to be heard on Friday next.
THE Aurllommire or " Eccfl Homo."—There is
a legend floating about London, that the publisher in-
vited sixteen persona to dinner, to meet the author of
" Erne Homo, who returned home no wiser than they
came. But how much more curious a banquet might bo
given if all those to whom the book has been ascribed
were invited to meet each other! The dinner-party would
include, amongst others, the most celebrated of Roman
catholic divines, the most learned of Roman catholic
laymen, we know not how many Nonconformist ministers,
three Essayists and Reviewers, en Archbishop of York,
innumerable young Fellows of Colleges, a Republican
Professor, a female novelist, a leading journalist, an Irish
historian, a Scottish poet, a Scottish duke, a Master of
Trinity, a Dean of Westminster, an Attorney-General, •
Poet Laureate, a Chancellor of the Exchequer, a High
Church Vice-Chancellor, a law stationer, • chemist,
an unknown sea captain, and the Emperor of the French.
No " Imaginary Conversations," no " Dialogues of the
Dead," no feast at Solomon's House in the New Atlantis,
would equal the charm of that surprising entertainment
The seal of mystery, however, still remains unbroken, and
we earnestly trust that it may be so. In our day, when
theological polemics attach so much more to name and
station than to doctrine, when respect of persons is so
much more powerful than respect of truth, it is doubly
important that, at least until the work before us is com-
pleted, the vultures of party controversy should be kept
at bay.—Mactaillan's Magazine for June.
