WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL.

TO THE RIGHerION. .CARL GREY,
PRIME MINIS TER,-*c.
My LORD,--If we were to look narrowly into the
manner in which some of the English Bishops have dis-
posed of their patronage, it will be seen that relatives find
as much favour in their eyes as relatives have done in the
eyes of the Irish Prelates ; take, as for example, the names
of the Prebendaries of Winchester Cathedral at the decease
of Bishop North :

1. FRA"NCIS NORTH, n A., (now Earl of Guildford, son of the
Bishop), Prebendal Stall, Master of St. Cross, Hector of St.
Marys Southampton, and of old and new Alresford, and the in-
proprialion of Overton.
2. CHAS. A. NORTH, M.A. (another son), Prebendal Stall,
Rector of Alverstoke cum Gosport and Havant, also the Reg,is>
trarship of the Diocese.
EnlUNn POI7I.TER, M A., (brother-in-law), Prebendal Stall,
Rector of Meonstoke cum Soberton, and Vicar of Alton.
4. Wm. GARNIER, M. A., (son-in-law), Prebendal Stall, and
Rector of Droxford.

S. Hos. 'l'. De GREY (now Lord Walsingham, son-in-law),
Prebendal Stall, Archdeacon of Surrey, to which is attached a
Prebend of Chichester and a Vicarage, Rector of Fawley, near
Southampton, and Calborn, Isle of Wight.
6. Ronnwr BARNARD, M.A., (relative by marriage), Prebendal
Stall, and Rector of Witney. He could hold no more, as he
held the best living in the gift of his wife's tinily.
7. Hos. A. Lone, N.A. (relative by marriage) Chancellor of
the Diocese, Prebendal Stall, and Rector of Wonston cum Sutton.
S Wsu. HARRISON, M.A., (brother-in-law to the Earl of Guild-
ford), Prebendal Stall, Vicar of Fareham and of Overton.
9. PHILIP WILLIAMS, M.A., exchanged his Prebendal Stall at
Canterbury with the Hon. E. Legge, who gave in exchange a
Prebendal Stall at Winchester, with the consent of his relative
the Bishop of Winchester.

These. nine Prebendal Stalls were held, therefore, by
the sons, sons-in-law, and other collateral relatives of Bishop
North; the other three were held by Archdeacon IJo k,
LL.D., Lascelles Iremonger, M. A , and G. F. Noit, D D.
These two last were given by the Minister of the day.
As to Archdeacon Hook's presentation, there was a whisper
about the reason why it was given, as it happened soon
after a violent illness of the Bishops.
At this time also the Rev. J. Gamier (brother to the
Prebendary) held the Rectories of Bishop-Stoke and
Brightwell. The Rev. B. Poulter (nephew and godson
of his Lordship) held the living of Buriton cum Peters-
field. The Hey. James Ogle, who married the Bishop's
niece, held the Rectory of Bishop's Waltham and Vicarage
of Crondall. The Rev. Haygarth (another nephew by
marriage) held the Rectory of Upham curfturley. At
this time also Mr. Brownlow North, second son to the
Bishop, was Woodman to the Diocese; and Mr. John
Poulter, a barrister, son of the Prebendary :Iraj nephew
to the Bishop, was Commissary of Surrey. It may he
worthy of remark also, that Sir Chaloner Ogle resigned
'he Woodminship to the Bishop just at the time that the
living of Bishop', Waltham became vacant ; the Bishop of
Winchester gave the Woodmanship to his own ants Brown-
low., a layman, and the living of Bishop's Waltham to
Sir Chaloner's son, the Rev. names Ogle. The Regis'er-
ship of the Diocese is now held by his Lordship's grandson,
the rever:4ionaryship of the patent having been panted to
hint by his grandfather in his life
Bishop Tomlin, although lie livid the Bishopric of Win-
chester seven years, had but one stall to give away, whiob
he gave to his son.

Bishop Sumner has given the Woodmanship,,, by patent,
to his two eldest sons, MINORS, of alo Me age often or
twelve years, it having reverted to him by the death of
Mr. Brownlow North, This is the only appointment
which Bishop North did not give away in reversion to
one of his own family, which must have bean a great over-
sight, Bishop Sumner has follawA Bishop North's ex-
ample of giving to relat;mri in another instance also,
namely, in presenting the Rectory of North Walsham to
the husband of his niece, the diughter of the bishop
Chester. 1 have the honour to remaii,,
Your humble servant,

On balancing the accounts of the late season
at Drury-lane Theatre, the management finds itself loser to
the amount of nearly 4,0001.
It has, we understand, been ascertained on the
highest medical authority, that, in the ravages of cholera
those addicted to drunkenne,s became the first
victims of this terrible visitation.
It is mentioned as a singular characteristic of
the cholera, that in the island of Ceylon, and in Astracan,
it was particularly remarked that very few women, and no
children, were attacked by the disease, while in the (3.,
vernment of Orenburg the women were more evecially
subject to its violence,
