• • BBRLIN, Avower 19.
A oorrespoudent of the Gerichts-Zeitung, who
has lady lien at Varzin (Count Bismarck's estate
in Pomerania), gives such an account of the mi-
nister's mode of enjoying his holidays as warrants
the belief that there are many years of good work
in him. yet.. Immediately after breakfast ho
mounts his horse, and takes a rido of si= or seven
11( 111111;• aomctimus visiting his own tsnauts,
and soniotimes dropping in upon ono of. the
neighbouring country gentlemen. He re-
thins home to dinner, and then spends the rest
of tho evening either in the family circle, or,
when the public business requires it, in his
study. A telegraph wire has been recently laid
down between the Chateau of Varhin and the
imin eat station at the little town of Sehlawe, so
that all important intelligence can be communi-
cated to hini without loss of time. A few months
ago the countess fell off a chair, and received an
injury which the country doctor pronounced to be
a fracture of tho ribs. One of the oount's tenants,
however, had a shepherd who stood in high repute
among his neighbours for his medical and surgical
knowledge, and the count, wishing to have his
opinion as well, accordingly sent for him. As
soon as this rustic diSeipliOl Alsculapiuli-entkred
the room, tho countess began to laugh:,
" Anybody who can laugh like that," said
- the new .do 'tor, " cannot have broken any
ribs." It is hardly necessary to say that
tbe diagnosis proved correct, and that the broken
ribs, which the papers talked about for weeks
afterwards, were all a mistake. Varzin is a large
estate; consisting of 23,000 Prussian morgen, or
about 16,000 acres English. Count Bismarck has
only retained the castle and the park, and has let
all the rest of the • land. Having repeetelly ob-
sirved that one of hi 4 tenants seemed to be in very
bad spirits,- he one • day took an 'opportunity of
asking the raise--whether, perhaps, his rent was
too high. "It is not that," said the tenant, "but
I have no eAdtal, and without capital one cannot
get on--one can make no improvements."
" And how much do you want ?" said the Count.
" Six thousand thulers " (9000 was the reply ;
" and if I were to boirow them I should have to
pay most exiabitant interest." " There you are
mistaken," said the Count, " you can have them
at a very reasonable rate. Go to my secretary this
afternoon, and he will give you that sum at once."
That Count Bismarck should be a popular landlord
will not appear very wonderful after this.

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH

WHITBY, Farrar Mtwara.
The Bishop of Peterborough died at a quarter
before eleven this morning.
The late bishop was the son of Mr. Francis Jenne, of
Jersey, and was barn in 1806. He was educated at Pem-
broke College, Oxford, where he took his B.A. degree in
1827, being first class in classics. The only other persons
who achieved that distinction at the same time were bir
Edmund W. Head, of Oriel ; the Bev. Dr. Charles Wil-
liams, the present Principal of Jesus College; the Rev.
William Jewell, of Merton, Professor of Moral Philo-
rophy ; and Mr. Herman Motivale, of Trinity, Professor
of Political Economy in the University of Oxford, who in
1860 was appointed permanent Under-Secretary of State
for the Colonial Department, and subsequently for the
Indian Department. Amongst his immediate college
contemporaries were Mr. Samuel Wilberforce, now
Bishop (of Oxford ; Mr. Trower, late Bishop of Gib-
raltar; Mr. Jacobson, now Bishop of Chester; Mr.
Neste, M.P. ; Mr. 'I% W. Faber, &c. Having held a
college tutorship for some years, he was appointed in 1834
to the head-mastership of King Edward the 6th's Gram-
mar School at Birmingham, and this post he resigned in
1848, on being appointed to the Deanery of Jersey. In
1844 on the death of Dr. Hall, he was elected Master of
Pembroke College, Oxford, in which capacity it will be
remembered by Oxford men that he took high evangelical
ground, and was the determined opponent of Dr. Pusey
and the conductors of the "Tract, for the Times." In
1864 he was nominated by Lord Palmerston to the deanery
of Lincoln, and in the same year. by the same Minister, to
the Bishopric of Peterborough. He had been select preacher
and vice-chancellor prior to receiving these appointments.
The late bishop, in his place in Convocation, was a warm
supporter of liberal principles, coinciding on all important
points with the Bishops of London and St. David's, in
apwit2on to the Bishops of Oxford and Salisbury. The
bishopric, 'Lich is worth 4,5001. a year, falls to the nomi-
nation of Mr. Disraeli, the second be will have bad at his
disposal.

DR. PL SEY AND THE WESLEYAN CON
FZRPJCE.

The Times publishes a long Inter frnn Dr.
Posey in explanation of his recent letter to the President
of the Wesleyan Conference. The writer commences by
eipressing his belief that "the days of Establishments
are numbered, whether, in fact, the diseetablishment comes
a little scones or a little later." Diseetablishment as-
sumed, the next question, he says, is how it is to be carried
out, whether by the denominational system or by secu-
larisation ; a question which has, the doctor seems to think,
not been properly faced. His motive for writing to the
Cenferenceis thus Mated : —"I believe Mr. Coleridge's bill to
be very pernicious, not to the Church of England only,
but to religion generally. In discussions both in and
out of parliament it was assumed that Mr. Coleridge's
bill was in the interest of the dissenters. I was convinced
that it would benefit no dissenting body except the uni-
tarians, that the so-called orthodox (/.e., the non-'4orimiau-
Laing) dissenters would gain absolutely nothing by it,
and would be among the first to deplore its effects.
'They would gain nothing in the way of assistance
ie the education of their sons; for all scholarships
said exhibitions are now given to superior attain-
ments; and the son of a dissenter, who has abilities and
Culture enough to gain a scholarship or exhibition, is en-
tirely on a par with any churchman." Dr. Posey goes
'este say that he still thinks that religious dissenters
would "prefer a system whereby they wont.' gain the in-
teilectuaFediantages of the university, while they retained
the teligious teaching of their sons in the hands of those
of their oen_persuamon, to one in which they might be
taught (as 'Mr. Coleridge's Biltwonld allow) seriatim by
• Baptist, a Sociman, a Deist, an Atheist, a
Pantheist; or contrariwise by a Roman Catholic."
" Anyhow" continues the doctor, " I wished the dissent-
ing bodies to have the question before them, and I wrote
to the president of the 'Wesleyan Conference, because, as
the conference was then sitting, the subject could be oon-
sidereil by them conveniently. Little sympathy as they
11144 y have with me, they are, I believe, the most religious
body external to the church, and the meet opposed to ra-
tionalism, and would, I hoped and hope, give the subject
consideration on its own ments." The proximity of a Wee-
k) dm, Ritpti..t, or oven Socinian College, might, it is sag-
smei ted, only make the teaching of the Established
Church more definite.

In the conrloding part of his letter Dr. Pussy declares
that he never looked for any answer to hie letter, only
wvhing the conference to consider a question which
concerns theirivinscienom. not his; and that thoeonfarence
wirely did not commit itself at once to any opinion upon
a -object which was new to them.

A 'on of the Right Hon. W. E. Glinl4tone will,
