The Bishop of London is to be made Archbishop of

Canter bury. Dr. Tait is no theologian, but he is the most liberal prelate on the Bench, excepting perhaps the Bishop of St. David's, and not only liberal, but firm, masculine, courageous. We have cited elsewhere the proofs he has given of his intention to promote steadily a thoroughly comprehensive policy in the Church of England, and as regards laborious and self-denying devotion to his work no one will dispute his claims. We shall have no more Lambeth synods convened with the view of setting up a dogmatic authority higher than the law under the new Arch- bishop.
