ELECTION OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.
----The Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral have
elected the Most Rev. Charles Thomas Longley, D.D., of
Christ Church, Oxford, Archbishop of York, to the Arch-
bishopric of Canterbury, in acordance with the recom-
inendation accompanying the Royal conge d'elire. The
election by the capitular body took place at Canterbury on
Saturday, and it is almost unnecessary to add that there
was no opposition. The next step in the elevation of the
Archbishop-elect will be the confirmation of the election, a
ceremony which will take place in the course of a few days
lu the parish church of St. Mary-le-bow, Cheapside. That
Ceremony will ipso facto render vacant the Archbishopric
of York. Dr. Longley will then do homage to her Ma-
jesty, and towards the close of the present month will be
enthroned, with an elaborate ceremonial, in the cathedral
Church of his diocess. The diocess of Canterbury consists
of 914,170 acres, and has a population of 417,090, with 14
deaneries and 352 benefices. The ecclesiastical patronage
in the hands of the Archbishop amounted in the aggregate
to 'nearly £BO,OOO a year.

A most deplorable occurrence has just taken
-place at Montfort .111e-et-Villaine). The wife of a gen-
darme, named D— —, stationed at that town, while play-
fully tossing her baby a fortnight ago, let it fall to the
ground, and was so shocked by the accident that her intel-
lect seemed to be affected. The child, however, suffered no
injury, and nothing more was thought of the circumstance
until the day before yesterday when the woman in a sudden
lit of insanity, which came on while her husband was
absent, plunged the child into a vessel of boiling water,
and a few minutes after showed it to a gendarme, saying
that she had been giving the child a bath. The man saw
at once that the child was dreadfully scalded, and brought
a doctor to see it, but in spite of all that could be done, the
Poor thing died during the day, and the mother, who had
then become raving mad, was taken to a lunatic asylum.
