_Bishop Butler._--Will any of our Roman Catholic friends tell us on what

authority they assert that Bishop Butler, the author of _The Analogy_, died

in their communion? That he was suspected of a tendency that way during his

life is acknowledged by all, though the grounds, that of setting up a cross

in his chapel, are confessedly unsatisfactory. But, besides this, it is

alleged that he died with a Roman Catholic book of devotion in his hand,

and that the last person in whose company he was seen was a priest of that

persuasion. One would be glad to have this question sifted.
