It is stated that the new Bishop of Manchester is

to be the present Bishop of Melbourne, Dr. Ikloorhouse, a Bishop who for ten years has been very popular in his diocese amongst Noncon- formists as well as Churchmen. He is about fifty-nine years of age, has been Vicar of St. John's, Fitzroy Square, and Vicar of Paddington, and is not, therefore, at all a stranger to the city work of the old country. In Melbourne, too, he has had great experience, and by all accounts very successful. It is, we should think, a good appointment.
