MISCELLANEOUS.

Mr. Oakeley, the Puseyite clergyman of Margaret Chapel, has
contradicted the paragraph which appeared in most of the papers,
stating that he had been suspended by the Bishop of London. Re-
port, however, states that he had been actually suspended, but soon
restored at the request of Mr. Gladstone.

. .
Some of the Edinburgh papers state that Sir Henry Bishop has
declared his intention of standing for the Music-chair, which he va-
cated only a few months back from ill-health.
