HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.—Friday evening
the neighbourhood of Seven Di ;la was thrown into cansi-
derable alarm, by a report that a quarrel had taken place
betwee❑ two sons of a sboemaker, named MortGaN, re-
siding in. Monnstuth.court, and that one had killed the
other by stabbing bins with a knife. We made some in
quiries into the occurrence, and are enabled to lay the fol-
lowing statement before our readers ;—lt appears that on
the evening in question the youngest son of Moacara,
named FREDERICK, a lad about 13, was engrged in cutting
the heel of a boot with one of those sharp knives used by
the trade, when he and his brother, aged 15, commenced
playing with each other. The younger being seated on a
low stool his brother fell on him, and the knife being
pointed towards the boy FREDERICK at the time, it en-
tered his belly ne ir the navel, and penetrated to the back
bone. A medical gentleman was called in and rendered
every assistance, after which the unfortunate child was
conveyed to the hospital, and notwithstanding every at-
tention was paid him, he expired in dreadful agony at one
o'clock on Saturday morning. In consequence of the
neighbours alleging that the boys had been quarrellirg,
Setjeant BENNET, of the Police, considered it his duty to
take the other boy into custody. He was examined at
Bow-street, where the father appeared, and stated most
positively that the boys had not been quarrelling, and that
the melancholy occurrence was purely accidental. The
worthy Magistrate, however, considered it his duty to re-
mand the prisoner till a Coroner's inquest had sat on the
body of the deceased.
MUTINY OF THE BOUNTY.—A very inte-
resting sketch of ADAMS, whose patriarchal look harmo-
nises well with his patriarchal name anti charac•er, accoln -
panics Captain BEECIIEY'S Narrative of his recent Voyage
to the Pacific, and renders it altogether the most complete
and amusing account which has ever been given of a spot,
where the past, and present, and future, are all linked to-
gether by a chain of the most singular interest. The de-
tails of manners, customs, and scenes in this valuable work,
are always Chid, clear, and interesting, and fill the whole
pages with spirit and activity. The third edition in Syn.
is ornamented by all the fine plates (engraved by Fs NDEN)
which ataannpanied the quarto impression of the work.
An inquest was held on Saturday night, in
St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Mrs. Ha a-
MET EASY, csho, o❑ the 3(1 inst., was crossing Bridge-
street, Blackfriars, with an infant in her arms, to call a
coach, for the purpose of going to visit her husband, who
is a prisoner in the King's Bench, when a cabriolet, which
was driven furiously round the corner, knocked her down,
and passed over her leg. The fellow who drove was
called to, but he did not attempt to pull up his horse, or
she would have escaped any injury. She was carried to the
hospital, and mortification ensued. She has left four chil-
dren, the youngest only four months old. The husband
used every effort to obtain leave to visit his wife o❑ her
dying bed, but did not succeed. The inquest was adjourned
that the driver may be apprehended.
Several of the Peers, and those Anti• Reform
Peers, too, have recently been very large purchasers in the
American Funds! One Pcer, who refuses all Reform,
purchased last week 30,000/. American Stock. His an-
cestors refused all ecncessions to the United States : but
folks there are who " forget nothing and learn nothing,"
be the experience what it may.—Dail/ Paper. [The
truth is that, for several days past, there has been no
American Stock in the Market, the Anti-Reformers
hosing become very considerable holders ; thus, the op-
ponents of public liberty at home declare that they Owe
no reliance on the legitimate Governments guided by the
wisdom of a METTERNICH ; by the frugality and foresight
of the must enlightened Monarch of the ago ! they ref use
to meddle with the funds of Russia, of Austria, of
Prussia, of Holland, of MIGUEL, or of FERDINAND
the Beloved, and seek safety in those institutions of un-
mixed democracy—which in this country they de-
clare would be fatal to all property, all order, all s tfety !]

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1831

OPINIONS' OF THE PROVINCIAL PRESS
ON THE LATE CONDUCT OF THE BISHOPS.

(From the Coventry Herald.)

If the Right Reverend the Bishops had supported the
Bill instead of opposing it, the Parliament had been re-
formed, and the people had possessed their constitutional
power in the Legislature ; and if they should support the
new Bill, it will as certainly succeed. Is there, then, any
probability that these persons can he induced to change
their opinions? - The Bishops are made by the Govern-
ment ; they owe their rank to Ministerial patroriage, and
upon the Ministers their hopes of advancement rest. This
body, so constituted, would necessarily support th it power
to whom they were indebted fur their present honours, and
to whom they looked fur higher preferment ; and the
Bishops have dcne so, it has teen their invariable prac-
tice. The present Ministers, however, are not those by
whom the Bishops were raised to the dignity of the Spi-
ritual Peerage; they owed them no gratitude, and there
were some strong reasons to suppose that, by voting
against them, they could turn them out, and restore their
former patrons. The manceuvre has failed, and the Spi-
ritual Lord's have by this time discovered, that whatever
profitable translations they experience will be henceforth
through the tnedium of those Ministers in whom the King
and the people confide. Personal interest will then most
probably operate upon their understandings. But these
is another influence to which they will be subject. They
no doubt are anxious to promote the secular interests of
that corporation of which they are the heals, and they-
must per.eive that, in taking up hostilities against the
wishes and the liberties of the people, they have brought
the temporal power of the Church into great discredit
From or.e end of the empire to the other, within the walls
,1 Parliament, in the streets, and on the highways, the
Spiritual Peerage is denounced ; and it has become mani-
fest that, if the Bishops are to retain their seats in the
Legislature, it can only he by their supporting the freedom
of the great hotly of the people, and aiding the wishes of that
class of society from which they themselves have sprung,
and in which their wives and childr,-n continue still.
(From the Bristol Liberal.)

The opinion that Earl Grey's Administration was too
confiding, and has therefore been deceived, in placing re-
liance on certain Lay and Spiritual Peers, receives daily
confirmation. But if ever there were a base desertion of
duty, an exhibition of obstinacy the most blind and un
compromising, the Bench of Bishops, as regards then:
distinctions, will bear the palm. The advice to " set their
house in order" has indeed been lost upon them, and by c
single vote they have excited more indignation against
them, than by all the jobbing, suppleness, and subservi-
ency of which they have long been the exemplars. For
ages past, the Bishops, in all questions of importan:T,
sanctoned by the Minister of the day, have been his fir m
supporters, and invariably thrown their weight into his
scale. We know not what may be the exact proportion
to allot to the hierarchy of the blame generally attached to
the Pitt policy, in the continuance of the most bloody and
expensive wars, but it is well known to have formed his
firmest phalanx ; and in the days of Liverpool, Bexley,
Sidmouth, and Castlereagh, and the measures they adopted
to stave off the question of Reform, by gagging bills,
restrictions on the Press, and a spy system, the Bishops
were perfect patterns of complacency, and readily took
any shape in which it was attempted to fashion them. If
there be some facts more deducible than others, from this
conduct of the Bench, they are, that it has no sympathy
with the people,—that, in a political sense, it has ceased
to be useful, and that it has afforded the best proof of the
necessity for a Reform in the Establishment, or, in the
words of Earl Grey, " to set its house in order."
(From the Cambrian. )
The majority of twenty Lay Lords and twenty-one
Bishops against the Reform Bill, has of course convinced
us that our estimate of the Upper House was erroneous.
It has neither shewn the quantity nor the quality of good
sense for which we gave it credit only a fortnight ago.
The votes of the Right Reverend Bench truly grieve us.
What shall we say—or how can we reason—if in the eyes
of the people, " the unsullied purity of the lawn" be hence-
forth only a vision of the past ; and if they no longer see
in the Episcopal Mitre one ray of glory reflected from that
sanctuary of Protestant liberty, which their Lordships re-
gard as an inalienable portion of the Constitution?
(From the Kendal Chronicle.)
The " one great question" of Parliamentary Reform
continues without any abatement or diminution of interest
to engross the attention of the rulers and the ruled of the
United Kingdom. The newspapers are filled with little
else than reports of public meetings on the subject of Re-
rin, or with intelligence of one sort or other of what ha
been done, and rumours of what is to be done to promote
the success of that measure. All other topics are swal-

lowed up in that of Reform. In every corner of the three
kingdoms the people have been up, and have expres,ed
their deep regret at tte insolent and ill-advised conduct of
the House of Peers. Many of the bolder class of politi-
cians are now for reforming the Lords first, and every-
where the Bishops have fallen in for their well-earned
share of detestation and reproach.

~. .... 5.,..5„...
(Ft mn the Aewcastle Chronicle.)
Surrounded with difficulties, and losing even the slight
hope of being able to avoid the hated measure by a change
of Ministry, it is confidently anticipated, or rather is con-
sidered certain, that their Lordships will be found, on the
next occasion, much more cumplais int than on the last.—
The Beach of Bishops, too, it is thought, now that they
can no longer indulge the hope of "tripping up the sNli-
bringing hack the " good old times" of
borough and mitre jobbing, may assume a virtue from ne-
cessity, and give a vote for their King, although joined
now in hated alliance with the people. Such conduct
may certainly do something to retrieve the consequences of
their late vote, hut they have fallen so low in the estima•
tion of the people, that this result is little either wished or
cared for ; indeed, we believe, it would be much more gra-
tifying to the people that Reform should he carried in
spite rather than by their aid.
(From the Staffordshire Mercury.)
Far be it from us to qusstion, for a moment, the power
with which the House of Peers is invested by the Consti-
tution, to reject any measure which may be submitted to
their consideration :—as the three orders of the State are
constituted, there is no political truth more undoubted ;
but we do take the liberty of asking their Lordships, was
it prudent or wise to turn a deaf ear to the uplifted voices
of twenty millions of men; and to tell an arousal nation
that, as far as depended on the House of Peers, they should
he for ever kept from the enjoyment of those lights and
privileges which they are determined to have restored ?
\Vas it wise or prudent—we would particularly ask of the
Right Reverend Bench—was it wise or prudent, above all
in than, to hold themselves up to popular odium, to array
themselves, almost without a redeeming exception, in the
huiv;th.nPlwoftltiebeiiritifle°stcikoSti? in every

' l
s.—We hope that the Pn•mier has been
t aught by the conduct of the Bench of Bishops, upon a
recent occasion, the extreme impolicy of trusting any thing
Ta
to chance in party affairs. His Lordship may depend
upon it that his party cannot maintain itself in office, nor
Jail to be embarrassed at every turn of its management, if
sie do not, both in Church and State, t'etermine to have
lone with conciliation. The Whigs have not been in
dower for many years, and the whole of the employments
if the State are filled by men whose interest is ruined by
.heir accession. It is, therefore, absolutely indispensible
hat the Whigs, at whatever expense, should make a clear
field for themselves, by displacing and superannuating
