We regret deeply to record the death of Dr. Harvey

Goodwin, Bishop of Carlisle, who died suddenly on Wednes- day at Bishopthorpe, the residence of the Archbishop of York. He had been suffering from an affection of the heart, and hurrying to catch a train brought on a crisis. Dr. Good- win, though he made an excellent Bishop as regarded the government of his diocese and the fostering of all philan- thropic undertakings, was rather a man of science with an orthodox bias than a theologian or superior pastor. He wrote much and well on his favourite subjects, and always in the same strain, that science explains much, but that higher principles must be applied before we can explain any of the greater mysteries of life.
