Whilst treating of the practices of one Bishop,
those of another have been kindly offered to our notice in
extenuation. What we should say of the latter is, that
though the affair is most painfully affecting, yet we cannot
make out that there has been such shifting and brokerage
of church preferment,—so much changing of cards, so
much taking up and laying down of hands,—as in that
case which we first presented to public reprobation. The
PRETYIiaN family had their aces and kings dealt them
out at first. Theirs was plain whist; the game of the
other man has been cribbage or !carte. However, we
offer the following extract from IltviNGToN's Clerical
Guide :
!•. G. T. PRETYMAN, Chancellor and Canon Residentiary of Lin-
coin; Prebendary of Winchester;
Rector of Chalfont St. Giles, in
Buckinghamshire ; Rector of
Wheathamstead, Hertfordshire;
and the Rectory of Harpenden,
in the same county ! !

" Well done, good and faitlind servant," Bishop Tom-
LINE, " enter thou into the joy of thy Lord !" We shall,
in truth, marvel greatly, if thou bast not got some warm
preferment, in return for all these things, in the diocese to
which thou hut been since translated ! Is this the way in
which church property has been heaped upon the members
of their families, men of no particular desert whatever, by
the apostolic fathers of the church?— Times.

Yesterday was the birth-day of the Duke ot
GLOUCESTER, when his Royal Highness completed hi'
53d year. The tradespeople of his Royal Highness illu-
minated their houses in the evening.
The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND
came to town yesterday from Kew : their Royal High-
nesses remained at their residence in the King's Palace,
St. James's, till half-past six o'clock, when they left town
on their return to Kew.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after-
noon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the
LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke Of WELLINGTON, Earls
BATHURST, ROSSLYY, and ABERDEEN, Viscount MEL-
VILLE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Sir
GEORGE MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER,
and Mr. HEARIES. The Ministers assembled between
two and three o'clock, and sat in deliberation till fuur
o'clock.

LADY BYRON.—" Yesterday, a very pretty
letter from AWWAHELLA, which I answered. What an
odd situation and friendship is ours ! Without one spark
of love on either side, and produced by circumstances
which in general lead to coldness on one side, and aversion
on the other. She is a very superior woman, and very
little spoiled, which is strange in an heiress—a girl of
..'2o—a peeress that is to be in her own right—an only
and a savante who has always had her own way.
She is a poetess—a mathematician—a metaphysician—
and yet withal very kind, generous, and gentle, with very
little pretersion. Any other head would be turned with
half her acquisitions, and a tenth of her advantages."—
Moore's Byron.
BYRON'S OPINION OF MATRIMONY.--..-
DALLAS called before I was up, so we did not meet.—
LEWIS, WO, who seems out of humour with every thing.
What can be ,the matter? He is not married—has he
lost his own mistress, or any other person's wife?—
Honcsom, too, came. He is going to be married, and he
as the kind of man who will he the happier. He has ta-
lent, cheerfulness, every thing that can make him a pleas-
ing companion ; and his intended is handsome and young,
and all that. But I never see any one much improved by
matrimony. All my coupled contemporaries are bald and
discontented. W. and S. have both lost their hair and good
humour ; and the last of the two had a good deal to lose.
But it don't much signify what falls off a man's temples in
that state !—Moore's Byron.

IMPORTANT FINANCIAL PROJECT.

THE ATLAS OF TO-MORROW,
Jan. 17, will contain an Original Document of the
highest public importanoe, given with full details at great
length, in which an ingenious Project far Raising the Na-
tional Revenue, by way of Toll, is submitted to ccnsidera-
firm. The results proposed in this elaborate view of the
complicated machinery of finance are an increase in the
income of the country, and a decrease in the individual
amount of taxation. It is intended to secure an equaliza-
tion of burthens proportionate to the division of property,
but to he carried into effect without any of the objection-
able features of an Income Tax. The ATLAS will also
contain, in addition to its usual variety of Origin it Mat-
ter, a continuation of the Inquiry into the present Lunacy
Laws.

The great capacity of the ATLAS, being double that
of the largest of its contemporaries, enables it to embrace,
in a more comprehensive form than any other, all subjects
of current interest. A Country Edition is published for
Post on Saturday afternoon.

The Index of this Journal is now ready, stamped,
price 6d. and will be found interesting to all readers, s
an Historical Paper for the past Year.
