Dr. Allen, Lord Althorp's tutor, was gazetted Bishop of 13ristol

on Tuesday. He retains his Prebendal stall at Vest • ter, but re,igns the livings of Batter.. sea and St. Bride's.—Daily Paper.

Dr. ALLEN'S principal qualification for a Bishopric lies in his having had the good fortune, some thirty years ago, to be tutor to the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. He is not eminent as a divine or a seholar. We believe that he never even edited a Greek play—a desideratum in an English Protestant Bishop. But then, he is supposed to be only a ball-and-half Whig, and that is a re- commendation. He will vote with Ministers as often us the Bishop of HEREFoau or the Bishop of WORCESTER, and leave poor Dr. MALTBY as heretofore in a minority of one on the Episcopal Bench.
