KING'S COLLEGE.—A very general opinion
prevails that the managers of this institution are falling
into the same error which has been so injurious to their
rival—that of making it too exclusively a medical school.
What was wanted and expected was a good school or col-
lege, at which all the higher branches of education might
be obtained at a moderate rate; instead of being confined,
principally, to a branch of science in which the metropolis
already superabounds.

ANECDOTE OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
—Nothing adds more to high rank than affability, of
which we give the following as a specimen :—A citizen of
Glasgow, while on a recent visit to London, having a
strong desire to see the int,rior of the House of Lords, ap-
plied to a plainly-dressed person, but who he understood
was a Peer, for an order, apologizing for the liberty he had
taken—that be was a stranger, and at the same time pre-
senting his card to the Nobleman, who politely remarked,
as lie wrote the required order on the back, " From
Scotland, I think?" " Yes, my Lord."—" Good morn-
ing, Sir." To the surprise of our countryman he read
the order—" Admit the bearer, WELLINGTON."—Edin-
burgh Advertiser.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON, De. GREY,
and the PARISH of St. BOTOLPH, BISHOPSGATE.

On Thursday a vestry was held in the church of the pa-
rish, principally for the purpose of receiving a report from
the Committee appointed to communicate with the Bishop
of London as to demands made upon the Churchwarden
relative to the new church, which was built contrary to
the wish of the parishioners.
Mr. PEACOCK, the Churchwarden, in the Chair.

A serious misunderstanding, it appeared, had taken place
between the parishioners of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, and
the Bishop of London, who was the late, and Dr. Grey,
who is the present Rector, respecting the application of
3001. a year, which Dr. Grey claims as his property, but
to which the inhabitants contend he has not the slightest

The CHURCHWARDEN made a statement of the circum-
stances of this singular contest, which is briefly as fol-
lows :—About seven years ago, when the Church Com-
missioners determined to build a new church in the parish,
be represented that to do so would be unnecessary, and an
imposition upon the parish. The event justified his opi-
nion, for, if the paupers and the charity children were
taken away, twenty people would not be found in the
place. How it could have entered the Right Rev. Bishop
of London's bead to impose a new church upon his
flock was quite inexplicable, when it was evident that
the old church was quite large enough for the purposes
of the parish. Mr. White, however, next represented
that it would be well to have the tithes completely
settled ; and the parish met, supposing that 2,000/. a year
would satisfy his Lordship in lieu of his tithes. It was
found, however, that his Lordship would not take less
than 2,500/. a year, and that sum the parish agreed, at
the instance of Mr. White, to pay, upon the positive as-
surance of his Lordship that 300/. a year should be ap-
propriated by him to the use of the new church. After a
considerable delay the new church was built and conse-
crated, upon an application which the churchwardens re-
fused to sign. The new Rector, Dr. Grey, it appeared,
did not consider himself bound by the agreement of the
Bishop, and pocketed the 300/. a year; and a number of
bills had been sent io to the churchwardens, which, in
such a state of things, they did net think proper to pay.
One of those bills was for the sum of 381. 19s. for conse-
crating the church, and it was followed by an attorney's
letter of a very unequivocal character.
The report of the Committee, in alluding to the charge
for consecrating the new church, spoke of the misunder-
standing as to the application of the 300/. a year, which
the late Rector had solemnly pledged himself to appro-
priate to the liquidation of the claims of the new church;
and a communication was made to his Lordship inform-
ing him of the opinion of the Committee as to the obliga-
tion on his successor. The answer of the Bishop stated
that the opinion of the Committee was so completely at
variance with the facts of the case that he must decline
any conference upon the subject, and merely refer them to
his former letter.
The CHURCHWARDEN wished to know whether be was
to pay the demand upon the parish or not ?
Mr. WHITE said it was imputed to him that he had
brought evil upon the parish. If he had, it certainly was
not by advocating the building of the new church. lie
had uniformly opposed the project of the Commissioners,
and he wrote to the Bishop, assuring him that a new
church was wholly unnecessary. With respect to Dr.
Grey, that Rev. Gentleman, upon being informed of the
claim of the parish to the 3001. a-year deducted from the
2,500/., declared that the whole of the money was his by
law, and that lie would retain it for his own use. He
objected to give up the property of the parishioners, be-
cause " be could not find it in the bond."—(Hear, hear.)
The parishioners would, he trusted, teach the present
Rector that the 300/. a year, upon which he had laid
his hands, was not his own money ; and, if the law should
fail, why then the weight of public opinion might be tried.
Mr. Roc ERS said it was unfortunate for the Bishop that
none of his friends were present to defend him. The
Bishop had in no degree violated any engagement.—
(Hear, hear. ) As to the right to the 2s. 9d. in the pound
which had been spoken of, he thought it would have been
imprudent to go into Court with a denial of that right,
which, it happened, huh been established some time ago.
The present Rector did not appear to him to be in error ;
for that Rev. Gentleman, upon receiving the agreement of
the pit ish to pay 2,500/. a year, knew of no other arrange-
ment, and did not consider himself at all hound to give up
300/. a year to please the parish.
Mr. WHITE denied that he had attacked the Bishop of
London; on the contrary, he had (lone justice to the ho-
nour and integrity of that Right Rev. Prelate.

A PARISHIONER said, that more than two-thirds of
those who witnessed the agreement were alive, and ready
to testify to it upon oath.

The CHURCiWARDEN—Now, what is to be done?
Shall I pay that or not?
Two or three Parishioners—Pay it, to prevent law

expences.

Mr. WHITE--By no means. That would be shutting
the door at once against our claim. We shall see what
the Bishop of London, who, I have no doubt, will in-
terfere, can accomplish.
Mr. PEARSON San that he was by no means well ac-
quainted with the subject. Ile was glad, however, that
there appeared to he so proper a feeling with respect to the
law.—(A laugh.) The time was approaching when he
would show why the sum paid to the Rector ought to be
diminished. The law which gave the sum was capable of
being rerealed.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the most
advisable course would be to place the facts before the
Bishop of London, who would, no doubt, listen to the
suggestion, and give the required explanation. As to the
law of the case, he agreed that the Rector was entitled
to the whole of the money ; but whether he was entitled
morally was quite another question. Mr. Pearson moved
th it a Committee be appointed to confer with the Bishop
of London on the subject.
The motion was then agreed to, and the Committee
was appointed.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL was prepared for the
University by the Rev. Mr. SMITH, of Woodnesborough,
near Sandwich, his Lordship's noble other selecting what is
termed a private education for Lord JOHN, on account of
the Noble Lord having from his infancy exhibited symp-
toms of a delicate constitution, and the sea• coast being
considered infinitely snore salubrious than the more con-
fined halls and precincts of Eton, Winchester, or West-
mins'er. Among the distinguished persons who imbibed
the rudiments of a College education with his Lordship at
Woodnesborough were the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, the Duke
of LEINSTER, and the Earls of CLA RE and MOUNTCHA It LES.

The peasantry of this neighbourhood appear
determined that threshing machines shall not again this
year be used. On Saturday last a considerable number of
them assembled together in the Wingbarn district, and
forced all they met to join them. Among others, two
young men who were at harvest at Rattling Court were
compelled to gu with them, in order to save themselves
from personal violence. One complaint is, that some of
the farmers had mowed the wheat instead of reaping it.

HYDROPHOBIA FROM THE BITE OF A
floass:.—A Mr. CLARK, living about five miles from
Cincinnatti, Ohio, had a mare and colt bitten by a mad
dog in January last. Both became mad, and died. The
mare bit Mr. CLARK on one of his fingers, but the wound
healed up, and he thought little of it. On the 12th of
July, Mr. CLARK was seized with a dreadful paroxysm,
and was put into a boat to he conveyed to the city to re-
ceive medical assistance ; but so great was his distress
caused by the water, that they were obliged to carry him
by land. After his arrival, the steam-doctors put all the
steam they could raise in requisition to cure him, but he
grew worse—raved, foamed, and was convulsed all night.
The next day, however, he was better, and hopes were
entertained of his recovery.—American Paper.
The Curate of Prez•en-pail, in the department
of Mayenne, having refused to celesrate a service for the
victims of July, the Mayor, the :National Guards, and the
public functionaries, went in a body to the church, and
performed a funeral ceremony with great decency. The
Bishop of 111 ANS has, iu consequence, platted the church
under interdiction.—French Paper.
MURDER OF CELIA HOLLOWAY.—On
Thursday morning ANNE KEN NA RD, charged as an accom-
plice after the fact, with Joust Horanw.sy in the murder
of his wife, CELIA HOLLOWAY, was brought up before

tion. Little matter of importance was added to the de-
positions of the former w4nesses, and the prisoner 140
