THE BISHOP or JERUSALEM.—TIie Rev. J. W. Ayre,
vicar of Wellenborough has addrAssed a letter to the Editor,
of the Times on the subject of Dr. Bowrings remarks on the
House of Commons on the appointment of the Bishop, and
on the nature of his reception at Jerusalem. Mr. Ayre
says he spent five weeks there, during which the Bishop ar-
rived. He also mixed much amongst the Christian, Jewish
and Mussulman inhabitants. Of the treatment of the
bishop Mr. A. says " Of the Cbristians, the Roman Catho-
lics alone stood aloof. The Greek, Armenian, and Syrian
churches manifested a very friendly spirit—a feeling which is
continually increasing as the tenets of Church of England
