were entered this afternoon tbr the Two-yr-old Plate, which has
been divided into two classes.

It was reported that their MAJESTIES would
honour his Grace the Duke of BuccLxuctr with their
comp iny to dinner this evening, but upon inquiry we find
that it has been again postponed, and the Duke and his
family will leave town to-morrow for Scotland.
ADELPHI THEATRE.-Last night Mr.
PLANCHE'S drama, called Victorine, or, I'll Sleep upon
It, was performed at this theatre, and was well received.
COBURG THEATRE.—Mr. DOWTON, one
of our first, if not our very first, comedian, made his
appearance here last night as Sir J. Falstaff, in Henry
the Fourth. He was deservedly well received, and went
through his part in his usual spirit of excellence.
We are assured, that at the MAYOR'S feast
at Looe, a few days since, when the " KING" was pro-
posed from the Chair, several of the corporator!, who are
placemen, turned down their glasses. So much for the
loyalty of the boroughmongers ! West Briton.
At Gloucester, on Thursday night, effigies
of the Duke of GLOUCESTER and the Bishop of the dioce4e
(who was expected at the Palace that evening) were carry.
ing about the town with torches, previous to being publicly
burnt.

On Monday last, when the rejection of the
Reform Bill was publicly known at Beverley, the East.
York militia, stow upon duty, at their afternoon parade,
put orange cockades in their caps, as a token of their ap-
proval of the Reform Bill.— York Herald.
RECEPTION OF TILE BISHOP OF CORK IN
BATH. —This Prelate arrived in Bath on Tuesday morning,
and being immediately recognised by the populace, was
hissed and hooted so violently, that he was glad to seek re-
fuge in an inn, from whence, after some hours' confinement,
he was enabled to snake good his retreat to a Bristol stage,
in prosecution of his journey to Ireland; but not before
the public hail nearly upset the coach whereiu he had
placed himself, and for the preservation of his fare hid
compelled the driver to leave several of his passengers be-
hind him. For this considerate treatment of the Bishop,
Jarvey received, as we are credibly informed, one sixpence
extra.—Bristol Liberal.

The Marquis of BRISTOL, whose house in
St. James's-square cost his Lordship, a few years back,
40,0001. to rebuild, besides 20,0001. for new furniture,
acquired his enormous wealth from his father, who was the
fourth Earl of BRISTOL, and Bishop of DERRY. In ad-
dition to this outlay in St. James's-square, the Noble
Marquis, by his father's will, is obliged to expend annually
a large sum of money upon the family mansion at Ick-
worth Park, in Suffolk. The see of Derry, held so many
years by the father of the Marquis, realised this " fortune
of a Nabob."

THE REJECTION OF THE REFORM BILL.—
There is no individual of any class or of either sex among
our readers, who is ignorant of the rejection of the Re-
f:mat Bill by the House of Lords, by a majority of forty..
one, and that the votes of the Right Rev. the Bishops,
which swelled that majority, have decided the question
against the wishes of the KING, Ministry, and the people.
One thing alone seems certain amid the uncertainty that
over-clouds all things—the Bishops must pay the penalty
of their tithe-preserving and penalty-holding tyranny.
They have thrown down the gauntlet, and it has been,
taken up. They must be ejected from the House of
Lords. The people have willed it from one end of the
kingdom to the other, and never was unanimity so deter-
mined.—Bolton Chronicle.
PAISLEY, OCT. 15.—THE CHURCH AND.
THE BISITOPS.-4t to be recorded in every way possible,
that the hopes of the nation and the comfort of the people
have been destroyed by a majority of 41 Peers, 21 of whom
were Bishops; and that the total majority against the
people, for the continuance of bribery and corruption, at
the risk of revolution and the certainty of ruin to trade,
was 199 ; the minority, containing only two Bishops, be-
ing 158. The people have looked on with a jealous eye
to the tithes and the enormous revenue enjoyed by the
Church of England otherwise, for a long time past, but
the conduct of her spiritual representatives on this occa-
sion has sealed her fate ; and the public abuses, as well
as the coat of that establishment, will now be attacked
with double force. It is impossible for any thing to
exist farther from the spirit of Christianity than for an
establishment of its teachers to require upwards of
eight millions sterling annually for their support ; and
nothing could be farther from the example set by its
founder, titan for individual teachers of that religion,
receiving from 10 to 40,000 pounds annually, and to see
them who ought to be the spiritual guides and comforters
of the poor, with their fox-hunting establishments, their
trains of men and women servants, with their seat+ and
voice in the Legislature, prostituted to the perpetuation of
oppression in its most undisguised form. There should be
no Bishops; the Members of the General Assembly have
as good a right to seats in the House of Peers as the dig-
nitaries of the Church of England ; but neither of them
have any; and, thank to the wisdom and bravery of our
f.refathers, we on this side of the Tweed are at full
liberty to use every argument in our power for the sup-
pression of their order, much less against their claim to
sit and legislate for the destruction of their country.—
