The three gentlemen who are then to be raised to the episcopal bench are: Dr. Thomson, to the Bishopric of Gloucester and Bristol; Dr. Caulfield, to the colonial Bishopric of Nassau (Bahamas); and Mr. T.N.
Staley, late tutor of St. Mark's College, Chelsea, to the missionary Bishopric of Honolulu, the capital of the Sandwich Islands. Itis understood that the sermon will be preached by the Rev. William Denton, MA., Incumbent of St. Bartho- lomew's Church, Moor-lane, Cripplegate, who has been most energetic in pro- muting the establishment of the new missionary see.
Cenral Bacs.su HAS BEEN LODGED in the House of Correction at Bruchsal, in order to commence his term of punishment. In accordance with his request, his employment during prison life will be that of a joiner. The practice of placing a variety of handicrafts at the option of the prisoners is now generally pursued in German gaols, and has been found to exercise a very favourable in_ flaence upon the habits and morale of the convicts. In Berlin, for instance, a great deal of the carved woodwork for which the town of late has gained some reputation is manufactured by the inmates of Moabit Penitentiary, the majority of whom did not even know how to whittle a stick before the day of their con- finement.
