The New Bishop.

Wallis, leaves England by the Ormuz, which is duo in Melbourne at the beginning of January. The new Bishop is accompanied by Mrs Wallis and the Bishop of Salisbury. The Rev. T. H. Sprott has just received a letter from a Cambridge friend, who writes as follows concerning the Rev. Mr Wallis : — •• He * is the nicest fellow — hearty, simple, able, learned, without pedantry— a man, in short. He acted once as deputy for Professor Hort, and is at present engaged in seeing one of Hort's works through the press. . . . . Caius, his college, is one chiefly for medical students, many oi whom are hostile or indifferent to Christianity as they understand it. Wallis has met such men again and again bravely and sensibly, never, I think, without doing them good. We shall miss him greatly at Cambridge.

He was just the man & ***fee *«tf social doing succeed — he is po unselfish, so bright, with a power of thawing people." — Press.
