A BEPROVEIt OF BISHOPS.

Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, besides being a stay and
prop of the Church Association, and consequently a
very Low C:iurchnian, has also a mission to perform
towards "my lord Bishops." He not merely supports

just been lecturing the Bishop of Llandaff for neglect
of duty. Mr. Colquhoun is angry with the bishop because
he did not bestow his episcopal censure upon a
clergyman whose parishioners have been incensed by
his teaching the doctrine of the Real Presence.

PROFESSOR TYNDALL AND nix pußimmts.
Professor Tyndall has had a neat little quarrel
with the well-known firm of publishers, Cassell,
Pater, and Galpin. It arose in this wise. Some
fifteen years since a saps of graduated reading lessons
was published. To it Professor Tyndall and other
well-known writers contributed. The work,
however, fell flat upon the market. The
copyright was bought by Messrs. Cassell a
short while since ; and they
subsequently published
some of the articles—among them those of Professor
Tyndall—in a separate form. They first communi-
cated with the learned professor; he replied that he
had never anticipated any such publication—
he has since said he would never have written
had he thought his work would thus reappear se
late in scientific discovery. He therefore asked
Messrs. Cassell to prefix to their now production an
explanation of the circumstances under which the
book was written ? No such explanation was given,
and for the last day or two Mr. Tyndall and
the firm have been accusing ono another in the pages
of the Times. The scientific author has the best of
it, however. -Yesterday a letter appeared, in which
the firm apologise for what they have done, and pro-
m ise to carry out the Professor's wishes in the future
issues of the book.

evidently arose from a misunderstanding. It
is to be regretted, however, that when the
English Legislature had its attention called to the
matter, the Italian Government did not more seedily
set themselves to put it right. No doubt mistakes
will sometimes arise ; possibly Mr. Nathan was much
to blame ; most probably ho was indiscreet. Yet
