THE BISHOPRIC OF OSSORY.—It is at length officially
announced that the vacant mitre has been conferred.upon the
Dean of Cork. The appointment has given what is not very
usual upon such occasions, the most unmixed satisfaction to
all parties. Dr. O'Brien was formerly a junior fellow of
Trinity College, and his long collegiate career was marked
by the most brilliant success. The new bishop owes his ele-
vation simply to his piety and learning—the sole requisite
qualities, as already stated. which Earl de Grey has declared
to be essential, and by which alone he shall be guided in all
nominations to church preferment—political principles or
family connections being altogether subservient to the former
qualifications.

On Monday an effigy of Sir R. Peel was burnt at the New
Cross. It may he as well to notice that these frantic exhibi-
tions are only practised in towns where Anti-Corn Law As-
sociations are established, and that they always form a corol-
lary to the public meetings got up by the League. [The
opposition of the League to Sir R. Peel's corn bill is not
worth an F. I. G. (Effigy).—'t Printer's Devil."]
