 Our attention has been called to this sub 1 jrct now by 'hs fact taa,. on Sunday Ia ,i. there was grand buil.'eas,ng in ahs CaIhe- dssl Square, as part of the religion. ceremony of installing the new Bishop and Pfsvisor ; we gay AS pat, because vi p,esunc the cer- e,Bony w0mid noi have been on.idered co,n plele without Y, and ms s.,rci aiurs yeneraiiy seemed io l"k upon The performance of the bull as by far the most interesting pat of the ceremony.
 During the p-rformaace a poor. crippled 1 G1r,aan. without any Iiea nf what was gutax on. and ~nl,'ut "ven any knowledy. of q
