THE NEsV BISHOP OF BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER.--
It was never before our duty to announce an ecclesias-
tical appointment which gave us greater pleasure
than that which we are enabled to make to-day. The
Itev. Charles Baring, late of All Souls Church, Lang-
, bam•place, has been appointed, by Lord Palmerston, to
the vacant see of Bristol and Gloucester. The appoint-
ment will be hailed throughout the country, by all the
best men in the church, with the greatest gratification.
Mr. Baring is not only a clergyman of thorough
ly
evangelical views, but he is also a man of high
h chliri.t.otf
fair for personal p
cn
ietir the earnestness and abilityd his
pulpit ministratis—and for his zeal and ass iltY
wich the discharge discharge of the various out-door duties
volve on ministers of the Gospel. Lord. Palmerston
could not have made a better choice, and he will soon
find that Mr. Baring's appointment to the vacant see
has contributed much to the strengthening of Ilia Min'
istry.— Morning 4dvertiBer.
