THE BISHOP OF DURHAM.—A correspondent
writes :—" The benefice of Easington, one of the richest
livings in the gift of tho Bishop of Durham, having lately
become vacant by the resignation of the Hon. and Rev.
Mr. Liddell, Bishop Baring has resolved to effect its divi-
sion, in compliance with the wishes of its parishioners, and
has bestowed the mother church, with an income of £l,OOO
a year, on the Rev. James Manisty, a brother of the emi-
nent Queen's counsel of that name, and a clergyman whose
only claims on his diocesan were long, laborious, and pious
labours in a small and ill-paid benefice. Other Bishops of
Durham have refused to divide overgrown livings in their
gift ; Bishop Baring did not for a moment hesitate on the
division of Easington. Other prelates have appointed
young, unknown, and inexperienced clergymen to their
richest benefices ; Bishop Baring has sought out and pro-
moted a minister of piety, experience, and established repu-
tation. Other bishops have given the best incumbencies in
the diocese of Durham to strangers to the diocese ; Bishop
Baring has conferred one of his finest livings on a man
born and bred and who has passed his life in the diocese.
In strange contrast with this admirable act of the Bishop
of Durham, is the refusal of the Dean and Chapter of Dur-
ham to contribute a shilling for an additional service in a
pit village in this parish, from which they derive no less
than £2,000 a year. This refusal has produced strong feel-
ings 'of disgust in the neighbourhood, as all that was sought
from the dean and chapter was a paltry £2O a year. Can it
be possible, it is asked, that so distinguished and upright a
man as Dean 'Waddington was a party to this refusal ; or
was it a consequence of one of the dean's lengthened visits
to London ?"—Lai l& News.
PORTSMOUTH, Friday, 7 p.m.—A sad accident
occurred here this afternoon, causing the loss of four lives.
The Rhadamanthus, steam transport, Master-Commander
Sturdee, was ordered to proceed to Woolwich, and Mr. Jones,
jun., Government pilot, was appointed to take her out of
harbour to Spithead. This duty performed, Mr. Jones got
into his boat, with four men, to return to the harbour. A
sudden gust of wind caught the lug sail of the boat and
upset her, throwing those on board into the water. A water-
man named Prince saw the accient, and bore down to the
spot. Tho men, he says, he saw struggling on to the bot-
tom of the capsized boat, but before he could succour them
they dropped off one by one until only one remained, whom
he succeeded in rescuing. Mr. Jones, who was much
esteemed, has left a wif.l and young family to mourn his
loss. The gale continues to blow with undiminished force
from the southward and westward. The barometer now
stands at 29.55.
