THE BISHOP OF GLOUCBSTER AND BRISTOL.
—At Cheltenham, on Thursday, Mr. Holt, the
bishop's registrar, attended and ,furniserl each of
the clergy • with a Copy of his Lordship's
charge, Before the business a the visitation
was over the Rural Dean rearl a letter from
the Bishop, wherein be explained the cause of
his unavoidable absence (illness),
and stated that in
regard to the Horfield estate, , whiCh bas lately en-
gaged so large a share of public attention, it was his
intention to appropriate one moiety derivable there-
from to the augmentation of poor livings throughout
the diocese, and the second to the employment of
curates in those parishes where the advanced age of
the incumbents appeared to render such assistance ne-
cessary. Upon this latter part of the proposition,
however, the Bishop sought the opinions and sugges-
tions of his clergy, and, in order to obtain this, had
adopted the course he had done, of writing to the
Rural Dean, who, on his part, requested his brother
clergymen would consider this matter over, and com-
municate to him their views in the course of the
afternoon, that he might forward a reply to the Bishop
as soon as possible.—Gloucester Journal.
PARISH OF ST. ANNE, BLAcKraLuts.--The dispute
between the Lord Chancellor and the united parishes
of St. Anne, Blackfriars, and St. Andrew-by-the-
Wardrobe, respecting the successor to the Right Rev.
Dr. Harding, Bishop of Bombay, is likely to be forth-
with settled. It appears that the Lord Chancellor,
who claimed the right of presentation in
consequence
of the late incumbent being promoted to a bishopric,
hns some doubt himself whether the law applies to
colonial bishoprics the same as to English. It has
been submitted to his Lordship that it does not, and
he has therefore handed the case over to the law
officers of the Crown, in whose hands all the papers
relating to the matter have been placed, and their
decision is expected to be given in the course of the
present week.

wt
the Select Committee of the House of Commons of last ses-
sion on steam communication with India, it appears that for
nearly two years past the mails have been delivered at Lon-
don and Calcutta respectively in time to affind, on the
average, from five to ten days at Calcutta, and from six to
eight days at London for replying to letters by the first out-
going mail. The contract with the Oriental Company only
provided for an interview of a day or two at London for re-
piing to letters by the immediate outgoing mail, and none at
Calcutta. During the above period it also appears that the
steamers arrived at Calcutta twenty-two times in advance
of the overland express established rid Bombay. The im-
provements is the vessels which have produced these results,
it also appears in the evidence alluded to, were commenced
by the company upwards of three years since.
EXECUTION AT GLASGOVir.—On Friday morning
Archibald Hare suffered death for the murder of Ronald
M4Gregor—apparently from drunken frenzy or bravado.
Although not a doubt existed on the mind of any one as to
the guilt of Hare, the duty of the officials was rendered ad-
ditionally painful from the determination with which he
continued to protest his innocence. He was 25 years of age,
short, and strong built, and his manner throughout the
period of his imprisonment was wonderfully courageous and
self-possessed. At a little past 8 o'clock the wretched cul-
prit ascended the scaffold, and on taking his place on the
drop faced the multitude with great firmness. Having
Omollinl company, and sig-
nified to the chaplain that he was going to address the
people, the Rev. Mr. Smith retired a few steps behind, and
persecuted me. All
Hare, raising his voice to its utmost pitch, in order to be
heard by the crowd, spoke nearly as follows :—"Fellow- men,
I am going to die for a crime of which I am innocent, but I
pray God to forgive all those who have
of you beware of dram-drinking, and beware of Matthew
Lord"
