Mr. Kinglake (says the London Review), in
assailing the French, has been as merciless to the dead as
to the living; we have no reason, therefore, for supposing

LONDON CAB, CABBY, AND CAB-HORSE. —lf a
whole host of angels perched themselves on the box of the
real modern cab, they could scarcely turn dirt into cleanli-
ness, or straw bath carpet. They would doubtless raise the
moral tone, but, like Bob Acres, who would as lief be shot
in an awkward posture as a genteel one, they would fail,
with all their politeness, in impressing the female mind with
any liking for dirty eushions and the smell of stale tobacco.
Can anything be conceived more wretched than the miser-
able bag of bones, called by courtesy a cab horse, dragging
a variolous patient from the scene of his suffering to a hos.
pital ; and, discharging its load of infectious disease, to ply
for hire, at the next turning, amongst the wives and
daughters of those millions who cannot afford the luxury of
a private brougham ? Yet such is declared to be a frequent
use to which the four-wheeled cab is put: What we w ant
is not luxury, but bare cleanliness, and a condition of horse
and driver that would do away with the too.common,
tions of inhumanity and ruffianism as the characteristks of
public traffic.—The Field.

THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S LIBRARY.--The Lord
Bishop of Exeter having declared his intention of
presenting to the county of Cornwall his valuable and ex-
tensive theological library, on condition that a suitable
building be provided in Truro for its reception, we we
happy to state that at a general meeting of the Archelea-
conry of Cornwall it was agreed to accept the munifi cent
offer, with grateful thanks to his lordship for his kind ness,
and to use every means for providing a suitable plae.e for
the reception and custody of the books. Since then s site,,
in every way most desirable, has been selected, and the pa r-
chase will shortly be completed, The Bishop has three' .ed
that a deed of gift be prepared at once.
