DEATII OF TIIK BISIIOI' 111.• - . It is our painful ditty to am: mice to the public that the retierabla Bishop of Ihirliam 'lied at cite o'clock on Satnr :e; looming, at his resitleoce Cavendish-square. ilis Li;nlship's recent a oil very advanced age, have eatksl his friends to expect this event for several days. Barrington was in lI'S b.:,1 Year, and was consecrated ta the see of Lanai:if in 170. in t ;FO2 he was promoted to the see of Salisbury, whence he tv,.s lenitive& in 1 i 91, to that of Durham. Ills Lordship was twice married, first Lela- Di a na Leaoclei datiglitcr of Charles, I hike of Alban's, who tl!eil in chililbed in 1766. Four years after her death, the !'shop marri, .1 Jane, heiress of Sir Julia Guise, of lt:uilcombe, in tle• cournv of Gloucester, }tart., by whom li: had throe chi! Iran, velio di:d in their infancy. ilia Lordship was a man of great and extensive public charity, and lino in his private attachments. In the dis tribudon of ins vast patronage he was guided by his opinion of the literary, theological, and ismsolial merits of those whom he promoted. Ilis Lordship was uncle to the present and brother to the late Lord ilirtington. The cause of the Bishop's death was more the exhaus tion of nature than any parthitilar disease. Ile had been for wine days inset:sink. Though his life was thus pro tracted, he was nut uri A iaally of v„iry vigorous constitution. H s is said to have under i ptane an olieraiion for the stone in hi s childhood ; aid so long sine:- as when his Lordship was Illshop of Salisbury his constitution seemed completely I.riken. At his last Cenfirniat'eia in that Diocese his legs wet swolli n. and in solt,ir ties:he:a he was in so debilitated a stair, that it was with he could get in and out or his carriage ; lint a I;fe of extreme regularity restored his constitution, and prolonged his existence to the above ad- vend age. The deceased Prelate, previunsly to his enjoying a seat on the right reverend bench, was appointed l anon of Christ Church in 1761 ; s•ul in 1;69 was nomina ;ea Canon Residentiary of St. Prul'e. 'Ube ]Bishop was uniformly and valously oppos.ll Yo etc granting further cancesslatis to the Itomatil'atholics. He dreaded the possible though gra dual revival of their peliticol power ; and his tract against their relkous opinions is scc- t0..41 one of the best treatises which has ever appeared on that subject. His firm and un deviating opposition to the principles of our Roman Cadiolle brethren, on no ocessior., hoivever, interf, red with his kindness to their pen.. ais. house was open to the French Emigrant Bislior re:3 Clergy. He supplied their wants by his bounty ; he edmittul tl:e most distinguished saving them to his table, and ititrotluz-.tl them to Ida fri:nds. flis confidential agent, we have heard, was Mr. Charles Butler; and his kinthicss ,riffere.l ou ahatetnent when the controversy was proceeding between that gentleman and the Bishop's Chaplains, Pr Philpotts and Mr. Townsend. While he apprcv,tl sn.l encouraged the labours of these latter gentlemen, his kindness to, and his confidence in, Mr. Charles Butler. mewnained nutlimini•hial. Dr. Barrington was not only father of the Bench of Bishops, but also of , the House of Lords ; and no member of their Lordship's House was ;nor. regular his parliamentary duties, at an earlier period Of his life, tlnto the Bishop of Durham. In fact, this cxceremt man and exemplary prelate was strictly attentive to his high functions in every instance, and his Lordship's name will be remembered with veneration so ! long as sincere piety, unostentatious charity, and sound leareitig, are regarflctl. The noble bunco to which Dr. Barrington was closely allied hits sustained another loss since that of the lamented prelate. on Saturday. The 11rnout able Arthur Barringyn, youi.vst son o. Viscount Barrio ;tun, and nephew of the Bislity of Durham, died in Lower Grosvenor-street last cvcuing, i.fter a lingering illness. THE CHANCERY REPORT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Six —I have attentively perused the ponderous volume published by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the delays of the Court of Chancery. and in winch many useful regulations are suggested. Several abuses in the practice and proceeding!' are attempted to be reformed and abolished; but to the arrearage of judgments no allusion is made. _ .... The Chancery process, dilatory as it is, is nothing cm pate' with this obnoxious evil; there is • possibility of gtttiug the cases ripe fur hearing, and of causing them to argued ; but, alas! with respect to the judgments there is nu remedy—no redress can he obtained. Numbers of causes are now tied up for want of the judgments, being delivered—causes upon which thousands of pounds, and the independence and comfort of families, depend. I therefore take the liberty of suggesting to the Houses of Parliament (as it is now too late to state it to the Com missioners, the report having been published) the pro priety of considering some means for the remedy of this flagrant abuse, under which so many hundreds are pining. I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, A SUITOR itfllE COURT OF CHANCERY. Norfolk -street, 24th March, IBA ORANGE INSTITUTION. An Address from the Right Worshipful the Grand Cottle of Great Britain, to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, was presented to his Royal Highness at Auilley House, on Wednesday last, by Deputation, headed by the Right Hon. and Right Worshipful Lord Kenyon, Deputy Grand Master, and consisting of the Reverend the Deputy Grand Chaplains, the Deputy Grand Secretary, and other Officers of the Grand Ledge. which the Royal and Illustrious Duke was graciously pleased to give the following answer : " South Audley-street, 2'2d March, 1821. " My Lord and Gentlemen, " I receive, with great sati.trictinn. the Address of the Members of the Grand bodge of the Orange Institution of Great Britain, which you have done me the favour of presenting to me; and I request you will yourselves accept, and that you will convey to the other Members of the Institution, my thanks fur the obliging and i friendly terms in which the Address notices my public conduct, and my endeavour to discharge my duty, as a subject of his Ma jesty, and as a Peer of the realm, in the support of the civil and re ligious rights and establislimenta of this country.

THE COSMORA A.—Amongst the many beautiful pano ramic views submitted to the public within the last few years, whether we regard their number or the delicacy and reset Bence of their execution, none are better deserving of attention than the collection of views now exhibiting at the Cosmorama, VO9, Regent-street. Nothing is calculated to give a stronger or more just idea of the power of art than this interesting exhibition. The moonlight view of the Bay of Naples, with Vesuvius vomiting forth smoke and flame, is in admirable keeping. The three views at Ver sailles, which are evidently the work of the same artist, are correct delineations of what they are intended to repre s; nt. and are finished with great care. The interior of the view of the City of Berne does not come up to many other parts of the exhibition, but a small patch of verdant pasturage in the foreground is one of the best specimens of quiet landscape painting we ever remember to :rave seen in a panoramic view. In the slew of Trinity Chapel (the principal chapel of Canterbury Cathedral) we trace the same hand which was engaged in the production of one of those splendid views exhibited at the Diorama last year. It is in this artist's best style. Taken as a whole, the Cosmo rains is one of the most interesting of the fashionable lounges now open to the public. LA I:051a r e RS.—Mr. Daniel has found, by a number of cancel experiments, that the accuracy of the best barome ters is destroyed in the course of years by a small portion of air passing up between the mercury and the tube, in cons+ quence of the glass and the mercury, from a natural repulaion, not being perfectly in contact.

A numerous Meeting of the Creditors of Dean and Co., of the Christchurch and Wimborne Bank, was held at M'itnhoi ne, on Thursday last, when resolutions were pro posed and agreed to, for the speedy liquidation of all claims upon the concern ; and the first instalment was directed to be paid on or before the lath of June next. So numerous are the candidates, and so severe is likely to be the contest for the East India Direction on the 12th of April, that more than one of the ex-directors, who are out by rotation, will be hard run. After a suspension of several weeks, the seamen of Whitehaven have returned to their duty, not only without an advance, but many of them were refused employment on any terms.

BLACK BUR N.—We regret to learn, that there are but 'faint symptoms of amendment in the condition of the la bouring classes in this town, and signs of an impatient spirit occasionally break out. On IVednestlay last one of the market coaches was pelted witlutones, by a crowd of persons in the street, but the passengers escaped without much injury. In the course of the day, a troop of horse arrived in the town, and will probably remain here for some time to come. — Perdue We are informed that an advance has been made to the workmen employed in the silk hose branch in Derbyshire ; but no advance has taken place here. The lace trade is somewhat improving; prices are at length beginning to look up again, anti we trust the improvement already felt, though it is but small, will prove the omen of better times.—Nalinghent Review. Within the last few days the staple trade of Yorkshire has undergone an obvious improvement, both in the Leeds and Ilialdersfield markers. The purchases in the white cloth hall, at Leeds, on Tuesday last, did not indicate this alteration, but in the coloured hall the demand was considerably better than it had been for several weeks past, though the sales were not to be compared with those at the same pesiod in the last or in the psteeding year. The spring buyers, both for the home and foreign markets, be gin, however, to show themselves. Raw materials are also somewhat more in request; and if there be any alteration in the price, it is rather for the better. Money is still very scarce, but confidence seems to revive; and, if we have no serious re-action, a well-grounded hope may be cherished of better if:rtes.—Leer/sr Mercury.

At a quarter put one lewd TEYNDAN took the Chan, and olntervid that the Meeting had been celled in con sequence of the mierepreaentations made in a Morning Pripet. wherein he was charged wish receiving a sum of money from the Company. This his Lordship positively denied, or that he had ever reecived one sixpence from any Company, with one excep tion. In the mime paper he had &len been misrepresented in re. gard to what he had mid In Parliament, where it was attributed to him to have said that the distresses of the country were occasioned by the speculations in Joint Stock Companies. Ile had said that the distress was in consequrace of over.spetu lation, and the fact was proved by a document produced In Parliament, which chewed that in the article of cotton, where the proportion imported had been nearly as three millions to one hundred thousand, and in others the proportion was the same. With respect to Joint Stock Companies, all the harm they had done was the transfer of a few pounds from the pocket of one man to that of another. Another assertion of the same, he would say, scandalous paper, was, that he was the founder of the Company ; hilt he held a letter In his hand which proved that Mr. Hendricks was the founder; and Mr. H. having been at considerable outlay, expense• and personal trouble, claimed an indemnity. Mr. lletuir'cks had had 500/. to purchase shares for the benefit of the Company, when they were at a discount. The list of Directors had been formed by Mr. Hendricks, but he believed none of the Shareholders would have cared who were Directors, even if' it had been the Devil himself, so long as the shares were at a premium. Ile had been& public man all his life. and he could not blame himself for any one act. Mr. Hendrick,' was an entire stranger to him until he was introduced to him by Mr. Gurney. His Loriehip then proceeded to state the finances of the Company as they now stood. There were 2 500 sharer, 110 had been redeemed, which left the receipt, at 51. per share. 1.2041. of which 8101. was in the hands of Martin, Stone, and Co., another sum in the hands of Fry and Co. The outstanding debts would leave a hoes of about ten shillings per share. He did not think there was so much blame attributable to Mr. Hendricks as hail been imagined. After some further remarks, he proposed that the money in hand should he divided. which would come to about 31. per share, and the rnmpeny be dissolved. Mr. AR et ICIIIN t said he could not consent to anything of the sort: 1,000/. had been given to Mr. Hendrick'', expressly for the purchase of shires on account of the Company, and they were not forthcoming; these shares he insisted should be brought forward. Mr. NEWMAN said he felt great disappointment et the slimind which his Lordeliip hatl chosen to take upon the present occesian; it was so different from that which he had chosen when he saw the Committee. Upon that occasion his hardship actually promised that G. 10s. should be paid upon each Share before the 27th. The present proposition was considered a very different one. Lord TEYNIt AM said, :lie payment of the 41. 10s. depended upon • contingency—upon the condition that sit the Directors would de fray their share of the expenses incurred. with the exception of those which had been unavoidable, and which the remaining 101. per share would he sufficient to liquidate: but if the other Directors refused to adopt this enurae, it surely could not he expected that he and hie son should take the whole expellee unon themselves (fries of " No," from some, and of `• Yes," from others of the Share. holders.) 31t.N vie:NAN—Thom who signed the checks which took our pro. perty out of the hatikers' hands are responsible to us for the pay. mint of our deposits. lined T elliAM said, his object in signing the check for pur chasing the shares was, that the Company might he got rid of as mem as possible. He should prnpatte a day ford stributing the money in the hands of the bankers. and the identity of the midi. 'tonal claim would not be loot by the distribution. For his own Part he never had a share in the Company in his life. He be lieved that Mr. Hendricks had acted, with respect to the shares which he had been desired to purchase, on the principle that he was entitled to remunerate himself, and that he ought to provide for any possible emergency. The public had deceived him in not paying nn the shares allotted to them ; and there was snme misun derstanding between him and the agent he had sent out to Chili, which it was• perhaps, in his opinion, necessary should be recon ciled before theme-mints could be gives in. A SHAREHOLDER—I call upon Mr. Hendrick' to produce an account of the actual state of the Company, item by item. A second SIIAREHOLDER—Mr. Hendricks is a with whom the Shareholders have nothing whatever to do; is is not in the Prospectus, he is not responsible. A third SHAREHOLDER—NO, no; we'll go to the Directives. upon the authority of whose names we paid our money. We'll nave nothing to do with Mr. Hendricks. I shall lie Content with my Lead Teynham and his son, and I must have the whole M. a share. What right had they to attempt to do anything with so small a Min of money in hand ? Lord TEYNHASI—Let us have the money back in the best way we can ; it would be ridiculous to absorb what still remains in law Supnese we dissolve the Company now, and then fix a day—say the l'ith April, for I most go to the Kent Assirea—for the payment of the money. I shall then he present, and sign the drafts, and pay the money upon receiving the scrip receipts. Mr. AN/Genie! and several others said, it was absurd to talk of dissolving a Company which in fact never existed. A SHAREHOLDER said, the idea of Mr. Hendrick,' claiming more remuneration than was afforded to him by the purchase of shares at a discount was ridiculoos. Several SDAISEIIO/.lllita creed mat that they- eispessed Lewd Teynham. from what he had meted to the Committee, was ready at that moment to pay them at the rate of 41. 10s. per share, and they came with their scrip for that purpose. Lord TE SMILAX said, that melt an expectation was most unrea sonable. They then called upon him to admit or contradict the assertion that he had, upon the formation of the Society, fixed his own sa lary et 3001. a year. His Loaneutr said, that Mr. Hendricks had proposed, he be lieved, that 141. a year should he allowed to each Director, and 3001. a year for the Chairman. He (hued Teynham) had nut re ceived a farthing, or anything whatever except reproach and abuse. (A laugh.) He certainly rejoiced that the project had stopped so soon, tor the trade to Chili had fallen beyond all calculation. He never expected sixpence from tote Comment. Mr. NEW MAN said his Lordship was flinching. Ills Lordship's conduct all through had been illegal. lie had signed checks for the receipt of the money subscribed, although he was not a Director. The prospectus said, that a Director must hold and pay upon 15 shares. Now, his Ldrdship admitted, that he had never held • share. and he was of course excluded from all power as a Director. (Hear, hear.) Lord TE lettAlt—l acknowledge It was wrong to sign the checks, but it was a mere error of judgment. Mr. NEWNAN—My Lord, with great respect to your Lordship, we are not to 'tidier fur your error. ll'e look to your Lordship for the V. 10s. which you pledged your/elf' should be paid to us upon each share. If you reuse we can recover by law. Lord TEr SHAM—lndeed you never can. Mr. TAYLOR—Your Lordship said it mattered not to the Share. holders who were the Director'. That was certainly a most extra ordinary mistake, and Mr. Hendricks was aware of' the importance of having the names of Noblemen at the head of a Company. (A laugh). That Gentleman knew that persons would be Induced to pay upon the shams, when they saw the security of names. But we have nothing to do with stoek.jobbing. Those who took our money out of the hands of the hank-ra ought to return it. They can afterwards, at their own leisure, arrange matters as they please with Mr. Hendricks. (A laugh, and cry of "We ought to have interest into the bargain)." Sir. Illco—The Directors are responsible to the Shareholders for every. half-penny, after deducting moderate expenses. The question is, what is the amount of the expenses incurred ? Lord TV/NI-lAD—I acknowledge It, but what can my son and I do of ourselves. The other Directors are bound to pry their share. Mr. Gorman') (son of one of the Directors) —)1y father and another of the Directors withdrew the moment they found that money had been drawn from the banker's hands. Mr. iltoo—illy Lord Teynham, you and the other two Direc tor& who signed the checks are alone reeponeilde. A SHAREHOLDER—Why, it 1,, well known that some of the Directors proposed, that out of the 2.500/. subecrihed. 31r. Hen dricks should be presented with 2,000!. (Expressions of astonish ment.) Si'. GODDARD, jun.--Butbe me, every farthing of the money . would have been taken out of dill bands of the hanker'. Mr. !JENNY STOKES said. be eoneitleved it extraordinary the a Nobleman should act such an example as his Lordehip had done, by refusing at once to make reparation to those whose property had been disposed of in to improper a manner. He ( Mr. Stokes) had been a Director in some Companies, and he thought ft his duty, although an obscure man, when he found that the chances of suc cess could not be cnleulated upon. to return the whole of' the de posits. For his part, he had paid 5/. upon mch share of which he was possessed, and he would net receive V. 19u. Ili& He should look to his leirdahip. Lord TEYNIIAM asked, was each conduct equitable? In every Company expenses had been Incurred, of which the Shareholders ought to bear a proportion. The expenses in this would not 'be great. He was an honorary Member of the Kentish Railway Com pany, and the Lawyer's bill alpoonted to upwards of 1.0061. Now the Lawyer of this Company had no bull. Ile would accept of nottiihg. The advertisements were all that were to be paid for. lie (lord Teynham) was corwrinced that the expenses would not be greater upon the Shareholder titan 10s. per share. and he trusted that they were convinced that be was merely unfortunate, and not guilty. Mr. ANNICIIIxt—The endues of Mr. Hendricks hes been most extraordinary. He first said he bad disported of the Shams 'lrish lie had purchased, and aftensbed, he had than by him. He owed to give an necount. A great deal more convene*. took plies. In which It wars, that elr. Hendricks was „Saonee to spve en mown of aim he had done with the 1,0011 *bleb bad beim drawn oat of Ilse. bunker's hands.

'Mould not he mid, whatellT lit be the supineness of the Dl. rectors, that lie kept back.

BANK OF ENGLAND ACCOMMODATION. We have been favoured with a perusal of s correspond ence relating to a negotiation on behalf of a number of fancy woollen cloth manufacturers, in the town and neigh bourhood of Huddersfield, for an advance of money, on security of stock, &c. out of the fund of three millions, appropriated to the relief of trade and commerce, by the Bank of England. The gentleinen deputed to negotiate this business waited upon the Bank Committee in London, by appointment, en the 15th of March instant, and, after statiog to them the situation of this parties, it was agreed to grant the :temp ' modation required, which was to the amount of 1 I ,010/. — At the same time the Bank Directors expressed their wish that a committee should be formed in Huddersfield, se lected from the most respectable gentlemen of the town, under whose superintendance the money should he distri buted and the s..curities tak-n. Four gentlemen answer ing this description were accordingly mentioned fer the purpose, and letters were addressed to two of them on the subject, requesting that they would communicate with the other gentlemen, and render the town and neighbourhood a service, which, at this crisis, would be so beneficial, by un dertaking the office. In the correspendenca on tile subject it wasexplained, that the goods deposited as sectiatty should he to double the amount of the money advanced ; that they should be under the control of the Committee till the loan was repaid, with the special permission to the manufactu rers to have an opportunity of showing the goods, and selling any part of them, and taking them away, on paying a rateable amount to the committee, the loan in the first in stance to be for four months, with a power of renewal if necessary. Before this arrangement could be completed, it was of course necessary that the consent of the gentlemen named to form the committee sinned be obtained, and their answer was expected in London with some impatience. On Monday morning that answer arrived, and was to the affect—!hat however willing they might be, in such a time as this, to do any thing in their power for the accummoda- 1 Lion of the public, they did not feel either competent to judge of the value of any goods that would have to be de posited for the requisite advance (particularly articles of such an uncertain value as fancy goods), nor should they wish in any way to be responsible to the Bank Committee for the parties named in the list, most of w.i I nto were quite unknown to them ; they must therefore beg to decline in terfering in this niatter. On these grounds the negocia:ion for establishing a local committee failed, but we hear that steps are taking to ob tain another committee, and it is probable, that if the manufacturers act with diacretirn and promptitude, an ad vance of atl,ooo/. may be had front the Bank fund for their use. We learn further, that the disposition manifested by the Bank of England, to afford .accommotlation in this way, is most liberal ; 211 , 1 dust in any of the manufacturing dis tricts of the kingi!om, where it is wanted, assistance may be had, under such regulations as roil! secure the repayment to the Bank, and most effectually advance the interests el trade.—Leeds Mercury.

A Goon OPENING roe OLD MAIDS — In Singapore a most singular feature of the population is the great dis proportion of the sexes. In no class do the number of women equal that of the men. In the Bugis, they are not one-half; and in the Chinese, the most effective part of the native population, they are only as one to thirteen. From the small number of women and children entering into the popul.ttion of Singapore, and the necessarily large proportion of male adults, it follows, as a matter of course, that it is greatly more efficient than its numerical amount would set in to indicate. HON ol' UNSOLICITM — The Grand Duke Boris Gudenow, who reigned during the years 1597 and 1605, was very much afflicted with the gout. At a certain period, when he sufKred very severe pains, he caused it publicly to he proclaimed at Moscow, that he would reward with ex traordinary favour and great riving the man, whoever he might be, that would relieve him from those pains. It seems that no one voluntarily appeared to earn the favour of the Grand Duke ; and, indeed, no wonder, 11- a Doctor had his whole existence at stake in those times, in Russia, if his cure failed upon some high or noble patient; and Gudenow was in the habit of making the surgeon, as if he considered the latter as absolute master of nature, responsi ble for the result of his art. The wife of a certain hojaar, or counsellor of the cabinet, who received very harsh treat ment from her husband, took the advantage of this public edict of the Grand Duke, to revenge herself in a cunning manner on her cruel husband. She liberefeie .W 1 the Duke informed that her husband possessed an infallible cure for the gout, but that he was not sufficiently humane to im part it. The bojaar was immediately sent for to court, and strictly examined ; he declared by all that was holy that he was unacquainted with any such remedy,and had not the slightest knowledge of medicine. But oaths would not avail him ; Gudenow had him severely whipped and confined. When, shortly after, he was again examined, he repeated the same th iarations. ridding, that this trick was p-ohably played upon him by his wife ; the Duke had him whipped a second time, but more severely, and threatened him with death, if be did not speedily relieve him from pain. Seized with terror, the hojaar was now entirely at a loss what to be at. He promised to do his best, but requested a few days, in order to have the necessary drugs gathered. Having with great difficulty had his request granted, be sent to Ozirbsk, two days' journey front Loseow, in older to get thence all aorta of drugs which were to be had there. He sent for a cart-load of them, mixed them all together, and prepared herewith a bath for the Duke, in the h o pe of his blind cure posing successful. Gudenow, after hating used the bath, redly found some relief, and the bojaar had his life spored him. Nevertheless, because he had known such an art, denied his knowledge of it, and refused his assistance to the (}rand Duke, the latter Vitt him win y whipped, mid after being entirely recoveral, be Veltt i a new dress, two hundred rubles, and eighteen moves, by way of a present. la add:lion to this, he ously admonished the Doctor never to be revenged on wife.

Paget and Wallis, of Loughborough, to purchase a quantity of lace. He gave his name a Mr. Jones, of Stamford ; he looked out 131. worth, said he was going to Nottingham, bat if he could not do better, he should send for it, and he would remit them the halves of two Bank of England bills, and when he received the lace he would remit the fellow halves of the bills. He accordingly inclosed in a letter the half of a 101. and a 61. Bank bill, accompanied with an order for the lace, which was sent; but the other halves of the bills not coming in due course, Messrs. Paget and Co. sent the two halves up to the Bank of England, and have received for answer that their fellow halves had been sent into the Bank by Messrs. Barclay and Co. bankers. It seems probable that the sharper had teen playing the, same trick on some other house with the other halves of the bills.—Nollinghaer Review.
