THE NEW BISHOPS OF LONDON AND

DURHAM.

The Very Rev. A. C. Tait, D.C.L., who has been
nominated by the Crown to the Bishopric of London,
which will be formally vacated by the Right Rey. Dr.
Blonifieki at the close of the present month, was eon-
cated at Bailin! College, Oxford, in which University he
graduated in 1833, when he tack a first class in classic',
in the same year but not in the same term with Mr. h.
Lowe, M.P., Dr. Jackson, Bishop of Lincoln, and Dr.
Liddell, Dean of Christchurch, all of whom were first
class in classics. He became a fellow and tutor of his
college, and a select preacher of the University. Upon
the death of Dr. Arnold, who so long and so ably pre-
sided over Rugby School, Dr. Tait was elected his suc-
cessor. In 1849, on the death of Dr. Cramer, he was
nominated by Lord John Russell to the Deanery ~f
Carlisle, and has been in possession of that dignity up to
the present titna. In 1852 he voted for Mr. Gladstone,
as the representative for the University or Oxford, when
he was opposed by Dr. Marsham, the Ward, n of Mer-
ton College, and again for the right hon. gentleman on
his acceptance of the office of Chancellor of the Exehe-
quer under Lord Aberdeen's Government, when he was
opposed by Mr. D. M. Perceval, recently deceased. Im-
mediately after Dr. Blomfield's resignation is completed
her Majesty will direct a cenge d'eliee to the Dean and
Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral, empowering them to
elect Dr. Tait to the bishopric, and his " contirmato.n '
will shortly afterwards take place in the parish ohur h
of S. Mary le Bow, Cheapside. He will be consecrand
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in whose province the
diocese of London is situate. The new bishop helde what
are usually called via media views on the dectrinal ques•
tions which aeitate the two great parties in the church,
sympathising, however, rather than otherwise, with the
evangelicals.
Dr. C. T. Langley, who has accepted the Bishopric of
Durham in the room of the Right Rev. Dr. Maltby,
who has resigned, was educated at Christ Church, Ox-
ford, where he graduated in 1815, taking a first
class in classics. He ie a younger. son of Mr.
John Longley, formerly recorder of Rochester, and for
some time one of the macistrates at the Thames police
i court. He was born at Rochester n 1794, and having
gone through the usual course at Westminster School
removed to Oxford. In 1829 he was presented to the
rectory of West Tytberley, near Stockbridge, Hemp.
shire, and in 1831 resigned
.that benefice on being elected
to the head unistership of Harrow School, On the for.
!nation of the see of Ripon. in 1836, he was appointed
by Lord Meleourne, thee Prime Minister, to be its first
btylioi ,acid as

sent

slight leaning to the evangelical rather than to the high
church parry. Dr. Longley's confirmation to the ties of
Durham after his election liy the dean and' chapter will
ake piece ie the parish church of St. James, Piccadilly.
It has not yet transpired who will succeed Dr. Long
ley in the bishopric of Ripon, or Dr. Trait in the deanery
of Carlisle.

A decision of some importance was pronounced by
Cornmis.ioner Ilolroyd, in the Court of Bankruptcy,
Y, t's,ten-my. It appears that %. here a trader has come
oeiore the court under a petition for arrangement he is
not t.rotected from bankruptcy, if it should appear that
he has committed an act of bankruptcy prior to the filing
of Lie petition.
