The Lord Chancellor said the statute under which these proceedings were taken conferred upon the bishop an absolute discretion, from which there was no appeal. The Bishop of London had, in the exercise of that discretion, and after considering all the circumstances of the case, decided that no proceedings should be taken. The appeal must, therefore, be dismissed, with costs.  MADAME OX BOBIII6BIAINB is dead. She was, perhaps, the most ardent of General Boulimger's lady supporters, and one of the few apostles who remained faithful to him to the end. As extraordinary cricketing feat has been performed at Leamington. In the match Early Closing Association v. Cornbrook, the latter won the toss, and went in first. The two bowlers, however, got rid of the whole of them without a single run being scored from the bat, two wides and ene leg-bye being the total score.  TIIS Prince of Monaco has proved himself, moot diligent investigator of the questions connected with ocean currents.

Ton Thames is reported by the Woolwich Local Board to be this summer in a worse condition than ever. The water is getting polluted over a broader area; it is almost as bad now at Greenwich as at Woolwich; it smells badly when stirred by the steamboats at Limehouse; and it is expected by the Board to become contaminated between London-bridge and Westminster within the next 12 months es badly as it was before the main drainage works. • Iv 1879 there won- 17 town dwellers and 82 dwellers in Greece for every 100 of the population at the last census there were 22 town dweller, and 78 dwellers in the country.  Mn. RV/MUD KIrL'iNG has succeeded in the probably unprecedented feat of hoodwinking the New York interviewers.

In New York end On Long Island he managed to evade the Press wen, and, indeed, he had a conversation with one lookout he expressed his sympathy with the fruitlessness of their quest.
