Mr. Disraeli has created his first Bishop. It is Dr.

James Atlay, Vicar of Leeds, a High Churchman, but not a Ritualist, and a man with considerable reputation for organizing power. He was, we believe, one of the dozen or so of divines who refused the Bishopric of Calcutta, and his self-denial is now rewarded with the much pleasanter see of Hereford. Dr. Atlay has, so far as we can discover, published nothing ; but the people of Leeds, not very lenient judges, think him thoroughly worthy of his pro- motion.
