was very agreeable to the bishops without the

Italian fluently, the interview was cordial and
apparently very interesting to both parties.
s'Bishop Whitehouse has travelled extensively,
visiting Spain, and breaches frequently. The
bishop of London, and the society for the pro-
pagation of the gospel, have requested him to
visit several English congregations in Sweden

Russia in June. In Naples, some of the leading
italian church reformers had very interesting
interviews, and Bishop Whtehouse was to see
Count de Tasea and other celebrities as he went

that the visit, at the present time, of these two

vantageous to the church here, but our country
