On Friday morning, Croft became the scene of unusual) bustle and gaiety—carriages, horsemen, and pedestrians, arriving in quick succession from about nine o'clock till nearly twelve, at which time the Bishop entered his carriage, accompanied by his Chaplains, the Rev. Mr. Strong, and the Rev. Mr. Plomer, and his domestic Secretary, Mr. Douglas, and immediately drove off. His Lordship's carriage was drawn by six beautiful bay horses, and after it followed a chariot and four, containing Mrs. Van Mildeit, the Bishop's Lady. 011 the arrival of the Bishop at that part of the bridge which divide t the counties, he was received by a large body of the Gentry and Clergy of the county of D s ham;- and the carriage having been stopped, JOHN GetiliTia. Esq. Deputy Sheriff, opened the dour of it, and thus addressed hia Lordship!— " Mx Loan—Mr. Berson attends here on behalf of the Lord of the Napo, of Sock Luta. to perform the honorary service due from Ille antler of that Minbr—would your Lordship be pleased to re ceive it in ran carriage, or would you alight?" ..- • His Lordship replied, that be would alight, and immediately de. 'tended from Ms carriage. when Robert Bayson, Esq. (of Stock , ton), as the representative of the Trauma under the will of the late 'Sit William Blacken, presented an ancient falchioa to the Bishop, and repeated the following words, in a clear and audible voice : " Mt Loan Bismor—l bete present you with the fakhion, where with the champion Conyers slew the worm, dragon, or fiery flying serpent, which destroyed man, woman, and child; in memory of which, the King thep reigning gave him the Manor of Sockburn, to hold by this tenure, that upon the first entrance of every Bishop into the county, this fakhlon should be presented." .The Blum, on retaining the falchion, said, he received the ser vice with great pleasure, and he requested that his best compliments might be paid to the Lord of Sockburn. together with his wish that he might long enjoy the Manor, and he begged he might also be. informed, that he (the Bishop) was highly gratified with the ' mann e r in which the service had been performed. His Lordship was cheered. At the close of this ceremony, his Lordship re-entered his carriage, arid proceeded towards Darlington, fol lOwed'by Lind Barrington in hia carriage and tour, arid above forty other carriages, the greater part of which entere4 the town . of Dar lington, where the bells were ''' 'rtruit cheerily on account ofthe bishop's arrival.

Ac cording to ancient custom • the Dean and Prebendaries of tho Cathedral- in their• carriages, and also a number of others, previous to his Lordship's-arrival, met him at Farewell Hall, about a mile and a half from Durham, where they alighted from their carriages, when the Dean read a formal and congratulatory address to him, which his Lordship replied to in a very grateful manner. This, being over, -his Lordship advanced for Durham, the Dean and Prebendaries following in close procession, until they came to their own road which leads to the College; they then separated, leaving his Lordship with several Gentlemen and the principal tradesmen of Dur ham. As soon as his Lordship had arrived in the , market-place of the city, the Mayor and Corporation, who were in waiting, received him most graciously, and their Recorder, William Hoar, Esq. who was , in the -costume of his office, addressed his lordship, who, though he appeared to labour under indisposition, made, in a dignified style, a suitable reply. His Lord ship then proceeded to his Castle, preceded by the ban ners of the different trades of the city. His Lordship rode in a neat and an elegant carriage, which was drawn, by six beautiful bay horses. The bells of tie Cathedral and other Churches were rung during the day, and the national flags were displayed on some of the steeples in' honour of the event. At four o'clock of the afternoon, his Lordship attended the Cathedral, where the cere mony of enthroning took place in the presence of some hundreds of spectators. His Lordship is a sitortish thin old man, and apparently of a very delicate constitution.l OPENING OF THE AINE AND CALDER NEW CANAL AND THE PORT OF GOOLE. --...-- After a delay of a few days, occasioned by the un precedented drought of the season, this magnificent aork was thrown open to the public on Thursday last ; at two o'clock in the morning an immense number of spectators assembled at Ferrybridge to witness the de pal lure of the opening procession, comisting of four fly boats fitted for the accommodation of passengers, de corated with national flags, appropriate banners, at tended by several bands of music, and followed by a train of between forty and fifty sail of vessels, loaded with merchandise, which had been assembled at the Ferry bridge entrance, to avail themselves of the oppor tunity. The Gentlemen of the neighb.mrhood filled the passage vessels, and were regaled on their way to Goole by the Undertakers, with a sumptuous col d col lation. Between three and four the procession entered the Barge Dock at Goole, under a Royal salute of 21 guns, flied h or)) twelve-pounders st rtioned on the pie' for the occasion, amidst the huzzas of thousands of spectators assembled from all parts of the surrounding country. After which a large party . sat down to ditiner at the Banks' Arms, a magnificent Hotel elected there by Sir Edward Banks, anti lately opened. The festivities of the table were interrupted about eight O'clock (being the time of high water) by a second peal of ordnance ; announcing the arrival of the Lowther steam packet which entered the harbour immediately afterwards, in gallant style, coveted with a profusion of colours 'of varioui nations. The'whole of the workmen employed in the erection of the town of Goole, amounting to up wards of 500, were regaled in the evening with refresh ments, and the conviviality of the day was kept up to a late hour of the night. The Ship and Barge Docks and outer Harbour are completed; the Ship Dock is 600 feet long by 200 feet wide ; the Barge Dock 900 feet long by 150 feet wide; and the Harboi.r about 250 feet square; on the west side of the Ship Dock, a warehouse 160 feet long by 60 wide, covering a basin for the loading or unloading of barges, and consisting fif six floors, is completed ; on the east side another warehouse 160 feet long by 80 wide is now so. fing, and is adapted for the landing of foreign goods, being to be enclo,ed by a wan, the foundali ins of which are already prepared, for the es pecial security of the revenue, COTTON M A NUFACTUR ES. The various machinery now used in England, in manufacturing cotton only, has enahed one Man to per form the work of 150. Now, the lowest computation supposes 280.0)0 men, some say 35'),000 men, to be employed in it. Hence the work now performed in this single branch, would, half a century ago, have required 42,000,000 of men, according to some 53000,000 ; that is to Jay, at the lowest computation, more than twice as many men, wonwn, and children, as 'now people the British Isl-inds. Now, supposing the labour of each of these men to cost, at this hour, the very moderate sum of 11 7 per day, or 181. per year, the pay of 42 mil lions of labourers would be 756,000,0001. of a little morethan thirteen timcs the annual revenue of England. Deducting from this sum the pay of the labourers now ; really employed,sit the above annual rate (280,000 181 eig5,040,000/.) allowing the enormous sum of 50 'tnillioos sterling for the wear and tear of machinery, building, and incidental expenses, the result is, that the in ehinery employed in the cotton manufactories saves 700,000,0001.sterliug to the British nation. Again— the power employed in the cotton manufactories alone of England, exceeds the manufacturing powers of all the rest of Europe collectively- 'lke population of Europe does not amount to 200 millions, or to five times forty. New one-fifth of this population is cer tainly not employed in manufactories, and the most industrious country in Europe is not half so much en gaged in manufactory as England is, and many of them are ten times inferior, insomuch that the average hardly stands so high as one-fourth in industry : hence then, 4 Europe* could not, at this moment, spin and weave as much cotton as England does. But the manafacturing industry of England may be fairly computed at 4 times greater than that of all other Continents taken collective ly, and 16 such continents as Europe in the average state of industry of the whole world, and exclusively occupied by cotton, could not manufactuie so much of it as Eng land now doer. Again the cotton manufacture of E land may be sad to be one-fourth of her total industry, and hce total industry could not be performed by sixty two 'eh continents as Europe in the overage conditibn of the woad. But this ratio must be multiplied by the entice population of the world, divided by that of Eng- land, and the superiority of our eighteen or twenty mil lions of subjects will thus be at least as one thousand to one over the average power and condition of mankind at large."-rQuarter/y. iferiete.

Frederick Arnold, between eight and nine years old, was charged before Mr. Alderman BRIDGES with having purloined a pinchbeck watch.—His father is a working silversmith, and is usually from home the whole of the day ; and his mother, being affected with paralysis, the prisoner has been suffered to range the streets, and associate himself with ands companions that he is pronounced to have arrived at an irreclaimable pitch of depravity. His father has tried severe correction without producing the slightest change in his habits. lie WA's now chat ged with entering a room in Holiday yard. Creed-lane, and finding no person therein, with the aid of a chair, he reached down awatch from a trantleplece, and, according to his confession, he sold it to a strange boy for 14d. While the examination was proceeding, during which the father exhibited much emotion, the son by turns affected to cry, and skewed a sur prising callousness. The Alderman said it would be impossible to give him a chance of reformation at present by any of the means within the reach of the Magistrate. The Philanthropic InstitutiOn did not admit young criminals, but only the children of criminals ; the Refuge for the Destitute would receive only such as werevapable of earning some thing towards their support ; and the Penitentiary was open to those alone who had been convicted at the Sessions. The prisoner was remanded. Tate KING a. Manotter.—One Mr. Michael Maloney, $ sturdy young Emetalder, straight as an arrow—barring his nether extre mities, which have taken the liberty of swerving out of the perpen dicular, something a la parenthesis, was charged with having assault ed Mary, the wife of William Dockeray, by knocking her down, and giving her one kick on the side, at two o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Dockeray deposed that her bushand is a carpenter, residing 'in Plum-tree-court Holborn ; and he being very much i n disposed, took 2 fancy to a ra sher of broiled ham and a pot of porter, at two o'clock in the nwrning of Monday last. Consequently, late as it was, ske went out to purchase them, and, as she was going along Cow-lane, anxiously looking for a bacon shop, at which to purchase the • rasher of barn aforesaid, she met the defendant, Michael Ma honey, who, without giving her any notice at all, knocked her down, and when she was down, kicked ber violently on the side. Mr. Michael Mahoney, in his defence, said- 0 Plait your Ho. 'tour, I'd been at a herring." " What is a berring P' asked the Alderman. _ - _ • !' Larry Noonan was dead, and they made his herring that day, and I was at it, your Honour," replied. Mr. Michael Mahoney. " liut what had Larry Noonan 's burying to do with your knock. ing down Mrs. Dockeray ?" said the Alderman. " Ah , wel', then, your Honour ; there was drink, and some of it got into me head." " Well, go on." " So I 4id, your Ilonnur, as fast as I could ; and two of 'ent was the earner taalking, and the one that wasn't so tall as this, ai'd me take a walk, and, 14 the penny I had, to buy her a mouth% bread." "Go on, Sir—what of all this?" "Then I did, but she wouldn't, and there was a bit of a skrlm. maze ; and one of my hands went into her pocket—that's the one wasn't so tall as this. " Well, Sir—why de you pause ? What right had either of your hands to go into anybody's pocket :" "Sure, either my oun penny she had in it, Tory Honour?" re plied Mr. Michael Mahoney; and there he stopped again, appa rently well satisfl, d that he had made a very clear and saaifactory defence. Howbeit. neither the Alderman nor anybody else could understand it; and whilst they were yet in doubt, one of the smallest and thinnest Iriviunen we ever saw pupped up into the witness box, and said, _ _ " Will I `et lave to yaks to your Worship ?" " Were you present ai this squabble ?" asked the Alderman. " Indeed was I—but it was no squabble at all, only just a clean blackguard assault as ever was done." " And pray where had you been till that time in the morning ? [lad you also been at a burying?" •' Igoe a bit of burying, your Worship, at any time. It was our stuseripts I'd hems writing—as I do every night—sometimes till one o'clock, and sometimes till two, may be—just according as I find convenient; and when I'm tired of them manuscripts, I walk Out for the air and the exercise." " klannscripts !—What sort of manuscripts are pas engaged upon 7" Liked his Worship with some surprise—for he seemed to think it linpossible that, in this bookseiling age, any manuscript. maker could be ie lean and so poorly clad as was this witness.; aid therefore ho asked blot 0 What sort of manuscripts can you pe falfrlLllPun 7 " e s Tour Worship, rth only two years home from South Afgloa, and ant taking notes of iny travels!" replied the Witness with • a low bow; and his Worship—having observed that be sh ould Issue thought it would have been better to take the notes of his travels whilst be wog travelligg, than, two years after they were ever, de sired blot to ratate.wisit he knew of the affair between Mr. Mi chael Mahiniej , atia.liirs.

"Oh ! plan your Honeur," cried Mr. Mahoney, " this is the very little chap that did it himself;—he comes up and ketches me by the collar, and I ounly give him a bit of a above away from me, and be went hindermost agen the Lady and knocked her down.

Mr. Mahoney; and I hope it oillbe a warning to you to behave mere peaceably in future," rejoined the Alderman ; and Mr. Mabopey having no bail at all, was marched off to prison. hi A AL BOROUO a-STREET. A pretty-iooking girl, named &Dias Wimps, was charged by a fasblosably-dressed young man with " shaking Pad fighting, and scratching and biting," him.

Some days slew, Captain Monroe, a Gent tetitatt plied to the Magistrates of this Office for their advice, , M the recovery of his son, a rams man att years of age s had been far some time missing. On that occulen Mr. Menu stated that he had placed his son, who Was unfortunately pee and protection, with a person Panted Bell, in Barnes-placel, - end road ; but he bad lately received information, witho ut being apprized of the eircemstance by Bell, that he had been missing. He but made every inquiry in his power for him, but stW no traces:mild be found. The Magistrates expressed their sorrow at the ete4t, and gave directions to the Officers to render every assistadee in their power. All efforts, however, proved fruitless, and on Mantra? Mr, Monroe again applied, stating that from what information be was able to collect in the neighbourhood, he had every rebottle think that from the savage manner in which Mr. Bell heal l trttatd his unfortunate son ' there was but too much reaso n to s t a imdte th at he had destroyed him. He hoped, therefore, that a etatesitt Mould be granted for his apprehension. The Magistrate declined issuing the warrant, but at the same time granted a summons for Mr. Bell add those persons wheat MG Monroe said would substantiate his charge. Yesterday, in consequence, all the parties wereiti,aimPleate; and Mr. 'Monroe recapitulated his charge, adding thithkemphilens were strengthened by the eircunutance of Bell stating, that alls the day on which his son was missed, he took him out to walk beteerilt Battersea, while in point of fact, - he was seen ih the ,setups eltbat day coming into town from Bow. Mr. Hasowscx—What interest could be have in destroying your son' Mr. Monroe--Ar_to interest, I don't know, but it may have happened that while they were out, Bell, who was in the hahitaaf treating him most cruelly, might in a quarrel have given hint : a Mow which killed kin. • • y• • • Mr. Hatunvace— . Really this is a moat extraordinary charge, it is perfectly groundless and unsupported. There is no evidence what. soever for me to act upon, I must therefore dismiss thacaae ? . , Mr. Bell, before leaving the office, denied the charge of cruelty altogether, and said that !..e Dever made use of greater coercion than was absolutely areoestary to restrain the young man from acts cf violence: be also hinted that Mr. Monroe himself was subjected to the same malady with which his son was afflicted. No account has as yet been received of the young man. UNION-In LL. Yesterday, a young woman, recently in the service of Grabs= Simson, Mg.

The prisoner was the person on wham suspi cion rested, but she solemnly denied the accusation ; however, on the trial of the men for the burglary, it was then discovered that ole of them was well known to the prisoner, and had been paying his addresses to her. This circumstance strengthened the suspicion already entertained, and, on examining her box, a scarf, a silver scent-box, and some cambric pocket handkerchiefs were discovered. Mr. Simian attended, and identified the property. The prisoner was fully committed.
