BISHOP OF LoNDox.—The following anec-
dote of this distinguished prelate and scholar is at present
in circulation. The Bishop was lately in company with a
Whig and reforming Peer, who was menacing the Bishop
with the sequestration of the property of the Church, on
account of the opposition of the bench of I3isLcips to the
revolutionary Bill. The Bishop bluntly replied, that the
same piwer which deprived him of his episcopal revenue
would deprive his Lordship of his estate ; and that, in that
event, lie would be in a much better situation than his
Lordship, for that in his younger days he had supported
himself by teaching a school, and was quite ready and
able to do so again ; whilst his Lordship would, if deprived
of his estate, be thrown upon the world without the means
of earning an honest livelihood.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

ASNIODEUS AT LARGE.-LE SAGE'S De-
mon, with whose memory so many entertaining associations
are connected, has just re-appeared on the stage of life.
The scrutinizing ingenuity and the laughing philosophy of
this pleasantest of cynics, and most capital of Devils, will
be immediately recognized in the " Asmodens at Large"
of the " New Monthly Magazine," where his modern in-
quisitions are now made known, and where they are from
time to time to be exhibited for general edification. The
" points of humour" indulged in by the imp in the present
number of the Magazine consist of a rub at the fashionable
foible of submission to medical quackery, a smart ridicule
of the worship of wealth, a keen glance at the existing ab-
surdities of the drama, its patrons and professors, and a
caustic thrust at the refugees of Boulogne.
SINGULAR ANCESTRAL MEMORIALS.--
IlEctittit has shown the possibility of forming a gallery of
family effigies, moulded from phosphoric glass, the pry duce
of the identical bones of the originals, in which the like-
nesses might be preserved as truly as they are now by the
limner. AI. CHAPTAI, adds that a skeleton of nineteen
pounds weight may be made to yield five bounds of this
~liosphoric glass.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia,
