ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS.

It his been stated that the bishopric of Peterborough,
will be conferred upon the Rev. Robert Fremantle,
of Claydon Rectory, Bucks. Mr.. Fremantle was
educated at Christ Church and Magdalen Colleges,
Oxford, and graduated B.A. without honours in 1829,
and M. A. in 1832. He was ordained deacon in 1833, and
priest in 1834. In 1841 he was presented by Sir
H. Verney to the rectory of East Claydon, in the;
diocese of Oxford, worth £3OO a year and a house. That
preferment Mr. Fremantle still holds. He became rural
dean, and preached the sermon at the Bishop of Oxford's
first triennial visitation. He is the author of "Eastern
Churches," " Memoir of the Reverend Spenser Thornton,"
which has reached a fourth edition, and " Light from the
New Testament." He is a Low Churchman, and a
frequent correspondent of the Church papers. In 18E4
he took a very prominent part in behalf of Ala%
Hardy at the Oxford University election. One
of our contemporaries, however, denies emphatically
that this appointment has been made, and it
seems scarcely probable that Mr. Disraeli would select
for the important duties of a bishopric a clergyman
who has passed his life as rector of a small agricultural
village, when there is such a man as Mr. Cadman belong..
ing to the same party, who might be selected. 11T.1:„
Fremantle did nothing at the university, and can have
nn organising experience. He would owe his appointment
entirely to political influence. Archdeacon Hale, whose
name is mentioned in connection with the deanery of St.
Paul's, was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, and took a
double second class in 1817. He was appointed Archdeacon,
of London, with canonry of St. Paul's annexed,
in 1842, the annual value of the preferment being
£670. Previously to that he was vicar of St.
Giles's, Cripplegate. He is also Master of the
Charterhouse. The list of his works occupies a
whole column in " Crockford." He has written
in favour of church rates, against Romanism, in behalf of
the revival of the sub-diaconate, a history of Christ's
Hospital and of the Charterhouse, several devotional and
some antiquarian works, and has contributed to the
"Encyclopedia Metropolitana." Some years ago he was
engaged in a rather angry controversy, in consequence of
the suppression of intramural interments, and the loss of
clerical fees resulting therefrom. He is a Low Church.

THE LATE EDITOR OF THE
"SATURDAY REVIEW."

The London correspondent of the Elgin Courant says:
The will of Mr. Cook, the late editor of the Saturday
Review, has been proved, and the personalty sworn under
£50,000. This must be a loose estimate, for Mr.
Cook's half of the Saturday Review can hardly be
estimated with any precision. The Saturday is a very
:apital property, but the returns of newspaper pro-
Perty are proverbially variable. Mrs. Hayter, who is
the residuary legatee, has come in for a fine legacy,
and may now be held as half proprietrix of the Saturday;
his " Bataviau Grace," Mr. Beresford Hope, of course
owning the other half. Mr. Cook was particularly short
of relations, and used to rejoice heartily in the fact. A
young gentleman connected with your quarter by mar-
riage—Mr. Adrian Hope —comes in for Mr. Cook's
cigars and tobacco. Of both he had a very large
stock. His cigars were of matchless quality, and
there never was a special sale that he had not an
agent looking out for him, His own particular
delight was in an old full-flavoured Havana, but of late
years he took a good deal to cheroots. His stock of
tobacco, too, was something very recherche, and he was
quite a connoisseur in pipes. The Saturday Review will,
I think, under Mr. Harwood, be a better property even
than when Mr. Cook was at the helm. Mr. Harwood is
more cautious, and there is no question that at times Mr.
Cook did himself and the paper harm by admitting reckless
articles. "Mr. Gladstone in the Gutter" was a specimen
which cost the Review many an old standard subscriber. Of
one thing I am certain, that the printer's bill will be very
much lighter. The old gentleman neverread a manuscript ;it
always went to the printer, where the copy was kept
unsullied, so as not to betray the process in case of unsuit-
ability, and it was read and judged by Mr. Cook when in
type. Many articles, too, were passed and paid for that
were never used. There was always a quantity of matter
standing over, and it is a curious circumstance how soon
matter standing over becomes obsolete and out of date, in
which case, of course, there is nothing for it but to " dis-
tribute " it.

" Punch and Judy," hitherto unknown in
America, have made their appearance on Boston Common,
attended by vast crowds.

We understand (says the South London Press)
that the practice of permitting a layman to read the
lessons has been introduced into the church of St. Barnabas,
South Kennington, at the Sunday afternoon services.
This custom is perfectly in accordance with ecclesiastical

A petition signed by forty magistrates, and
laid before the Lord-Lieutenant and Privy Council, prays
for an addition of fifteen polling-places to the two ridings
of the county of Tipperary, " should there be sufficient
time between the present date and the issuing of the
electoral writs to create the required number."

A certain registrar in a certain town is unfor-
tunately very deaf. One day lately a woman went to
register the birth of her child, and had to answer the
usual questions. To the one—" Were you present at the
birth?" the astonished woman answered, "I'm the mither
o' the bairn." " But that is not an answer to my ques-
tion," replied the registrar ; " were you present at the
birth?" "Yes, of course," she said ;"I was there."

BLOW. FOR BLOW.—The Express gives the follow-
ing as a neat instance of a "blow for blow " :—The Siecle

executed with a precision and decision which did much
honour to Admiral Tepete, the Imperial organ, L'Eten.
dard, rebuked the Siecle as follows :---" Thus a military
man—a man placed by a regular Government over one
of the great forces of the State—can deserve the praises
of the Siecle for having voluntarily betrayed his duty,
falsified his oath, and directed against the Government of
his country the arms which were confided to hinr." The
Siècle retorts : "Stop, stop ! good Etcndard I You forget
whose you are, and what application may be made of your
words. Stop, in Heaven's name. You are talking of

The Bishop of Carlisle has again come into collision
with his High Church clergy. These wished to esta-
blish a "Burial Guild of the Holy Trinity" for mil-
tivating a more reverential mode of conducting fune-
rals. Among other " innovations " they enjoin that
wax candles should be kept continually burning
near the body of the departed, that the precession should be
preceded by a cross, that the coffin should be headed in
church by four wax candles, that incense should be used,
4nd the "Holy Eucharistic sacrifice" celebrated. The bishop
writes very strongly against them, and concludes his letter—
', by deprecating the institution of a society which, appeal-
lag to the susceptibilities of human affection, seizes upon the
opening thus afforded for entering upon a course of which
the manifest tendency is the setting up anew in our Church
some of the worst saperstiti Rof ouLiToikalatauld
