The Revue Encyclopedique for June 
last has a note by the editors, the 
purport of which is to vindicate the 
Bishop of London from ‘a charge 
which has been brought against him 
by the Edinburgh Review, of advo- 
cating the cause of ignorance. The 
meaning of different passages incul- 
pated is stated to be, simply, that 
human knowledge ought to -be,accom- 
panied by religious sentiments. ‘We 
are not necessarily good,’ says the 
Bishop, ‘because we have acquired 
knowledge and learning, and the ex- 
pansion of intellect does not neces- 
sarily suppose or infer a disposition 
to apply it to its true ends. It is 
impossible to gainsay this, as a philo- 
sophical proposition; the Bishop ‘has 
also quoted, as advancing that popu- 
lar instruction should be. more and 
more encouraged, but ‘that it should 
be pointed and directed to moral and 
reasonable objects. 
A fourth Series of Sermons, in 
manuscript characters, on characters

Great Chalfield, Wilts. ;

The distance of Pallas and Juno at 
their opposition will render their light 
so very faint, that it is doubtful whe- 
ther they can be scen; especially the 
former, from the rapid change in 
declination, which will remove it from 
the field of view in the preceding night.

happen till 1825.
