The valuable living of' Templemichael, formerly worth 2,0001. a year, has been for many turns in the gift of the Crown, in consequence of the elevation of several successive incumbents to the Episcopal Bench. The late Bishp of Meath, Dr. O'Beirne, was rector while his brother was parish priest of the saute parish ! The late Dr. lVar- burton, successively Bishop of Limerick and of Cloyne, had been Rector of Templernichael ; and the late incumbent (Lord Farnham) succeeded to the living on the elevation to the Bench of the late Bishop of Waterford, the Honourable and Right Reverend Dr. Bourke. We believe this preferment had been held by several other Prelates previously to their consecration.—Limerick Chronicle.
