HER EPISCOPAL SCANDAL.—The death of the lie,. Dr. Dm red, who, out of au income fixed by the Ecclesiastical Cientnissimiers at one thensmal a year, contrived to extract an income of fitteen hmidren and seventy-six pounds, beeities the additional solace he derived from the living of Mongewell, in °renal:hire, has given itecasion hir itnether scandal. The Ecelestistical Commi-sioa on hcariag of his death held a meeting to prepare a scheme for revising toe arrangements as to confining the amount of the canonry to one thousand a year, and directed the secretary to intimate the Commissioners' intention in this respect ea the bishop of ,juraam, and to acquaint his lordship that they presumed he would, upon learning it, deem it right to defer collating any new canon to the vacant stall until the contemplated measure should have been concluded. Little, however, did they calculate on the promptitude of the Bishop of Durhauf.,: movements. On the 18th of January he heard of the recency-, and on the "d3rd, he filled it up with hie one, son. The Biehop, it mast be rementhereel, is remarkable for having to the greatest extent extended the income which was allotted to hint at the time of his elevation to his present see, Innstead of 1;8,000 a year, the income which the Ecclesinstical Ceanaiseioners have fixed eir his successor, he has contri. ved to secure au income which in sumo years has amounted to 1:26,006 aver and above the charge which was im' pmed upon it hy the Commission ! He has been foiled, however, in the ease. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners suddenly bethought themselves that by the sth and 6th Victoria, chapter 79, they were required to certify the value of every dignity; and that by the 6th and 7th Victoria, chap. -72, no instrument couterring such dignity could be used or be availa'ale unleee or until the curnficete of the Commissioners Skllollid he written thereau. They state that the canonry ought not to be more than £l,OOO, and that they cannot certify that it is so little. Fruit these facts they leave the Bisbee, no infer that his son can have the canonry on no other terms than the renunciation of the £579 per annum _  THE Gtll"lElittS' STRlttE.—Tltis unfortunate dispute still " drogs its slow Magill along " without seemlute 1111 immediate terminatiom. ing to promise cmythiag The Employers' Assouiaticti still adhere to their tleela.: ration," while the Ainalgatnated Engineers continue resolute in the determination never to sign it.
