A BISHOP FAMOUS IN STORY.
There is no objection occasionally to Punch a la Romaine,
because Punch is wholesome in every form; but Bishop a, la
Romaine seems to be a very deleterious mess, if we are to judge
by the specimens lately sent us from the Vatican. Any one
with a regard for his reputation would honestly exclaim Nolo
Episcopari—I won't be a Bishop—if the Pope should offer
him a mitre, and if the Rome-made, in contradistinction from
the home-made, prelates are such as we have recently had a
sample of. The occupant of the New Catholic See of Clifton,
as exposed by himself in his letters in the Times, is apparently
as slippery as might be expected from one bearing the title
of his " oiliness." We should recommend the translation of
"Clifton" by desiring him to go to Bath; or perhaps the
better arrangement would be, to send him at once to
Coventry. _
Good News for Ministers.
We see by the Australian papers that a wonderful dis-
covery has lately been made of luminous wood at Port Philip.
As it seems from this intelligence that wood is capable of
some illumination, there is a hope for the Chancellor oe the
Exchequer's enlightenment.
