Mark-lane has frequently been traced from the Cape.
The Madras Cavalry derive their supplies from there,
and St. Helena is much indebted to the produce from
the Cape. It is said to be in the contemplation of Mr.
Robins to encourage (by fixing a very low rent at
firat) a set of clever industrious Scotch farmers,
who will go and locate in this beautiful country with
their families, and with a very bright prospect of in-
dependence in the perspective. The Merino wool
from the fine flocks of sheeps on this property is
greatly esteemed. The wines are in great abundance,
having upon this domain 3,000 or 4,000 fine vines,
and lots of fruit trees. The extent of the purchase
made by Mr. George Robins, exceeds the territory of
many of the German Princes, and the income in three
or four years will probably surpass it.
We find in the Stamford Mercury the following
strange paragraph :—•'Since the `suspension' of the
Rev. T. S. Escott, the vicar of Gedney, in this county,
for the good of his soul's health and the lawful cor-
rection and reformation of his recent excesses, especi-
ally for refusing to bury the child of a Dissenter,'
not any Church service has been performed in that
large parish of 2,000 souls, which pays to the esta-
blishment an annual sum of 3,000/. In tithes to the
rector and the vicar. Funerals (so called) are per-
formed without any burial service being read, and the
whole ghostly offices of the church and the parish
are suspended like the minister."—lf this be
true and we sincerely trust it • is not
it reflects great discredit on Mother. Church. No
wonder that Dissent spreads far and wide throughout
the country, and that the Puseyite zealots are making
their influence felt in all quarters, when the old Dame
is guilty of such gross negligence. She is, paid hand-
somely for doing her duty, and to neglect it—no
matter-in how slight a degres—argues culpability of
no ordinary dye. Why does not the Bishop of the
diocese interfere in this Gedney business? If it were
a question of tithe, or one involving any of the tem-
poralities of the see, we doubt not the ghostly Prelate
would have interfered effectually long ere this.
Priests are seldom languid in action when their tem-
poral interests are invaded.

It is generally understood in legal circles, that Mr.
Charles Phillips, the barrister, is to have a lucrative
appointment under the new Bankruptcy Act passed
in the last session.—Observer. [We are glad to hear
it, for no man deserves it better. Such appointments
would do credit to any Government.—ED. Sun.]
