It appears from a letter of Mr. John Thirlwall's, published

in last Saturday's Times, that he made a mistake, and one which has given pain, in asserting, what we copied from his letter into our last number, that the Dean and Chapter of St. David's never put in any application to have the remains of the late Bishop Thirlwall buried in the Cathedral which was so long his own. "Canon Phillips," he writes, "as Canon in residence, did ask me that Bishop Thirlwall should be buried in St. David's Cathedral, and he did it in the name of the Dean and Chapter, and at their request." Mr. John Thirlwall's memory must certainly be a singularly treacherous one, to allow such an incident as this to escape it so soon.
