A GHOST STORY.-111 the hot weather of
this last summer Lord Ashburnham's very old uncle, the
Biihop of Chichester, was waked in his palace at four
o'clock in the morning by his bedchamber door being
opened, when a female figure, all in white, entered, and sat
down near him. The prelate, who protests he was not
frightened, Fair!, in a tone of authority, but not
with the usual triple adjuration, " Who arc you ?'
Not a word of reply, but the personage heaved
a profound sigh. The Bishop rang the bell, but the
servants were so sound asleep that nobody heard him. He
repeated his question : still no answer, but another deep
sigh. Then the apparition took some papers out of the
ghost of its pocket, and began to read them to itself. At
last, when the Bishop had continued to ring, and nobody
to come, the spectre rose and departed as sedately as it
had arrived. When the servants did at length appear, the
Bishop cried, " Well, what have you seen ?" " Seen, my
Lord ?" " Ay, seen ; who or what is the woman that has
been here?" " Woman, my Lord I" (I believe one of the
fellows smiled; though, to do her justice, Lady Onslow did
not say so.) In short, when my Lord had related his
vision, his domestics did humbly apprehend that his
Lordship bad been dreaming; and so did his whole family
the next morning, for in this our day even a Bishop's
household does not believe in ghosts ; and yet it is molt
certain that the good man had been in no dream, and told
nothing but what he had seen ; for, as the story circu-
lated, and diverted the ungodly at the Prelate's expense,
it came at last to the ears of a keeper of a madhouse in
the diocese, who came and deposed that a female lunatic
umkr his care had escaped from his custody, and, find-
ing the gate of the palace open. bad marched up to my
elters
ehamb,;r. The d,ponent further said, that his
prisoner was always reading a bundle of papers.—L
o li. Walpole.

VOTE OF A PIECE OF PLATE TO THE CHAIR-
MAN OF TILE BI.AcKFRIAR'S-BRIDGE COMMITTEE.—The
members of the Blaekfriar's-bridge Committee have deter-
mined to set the public an example of what ought to have been
done long ago, by presenting Mr. Prior, the indefatigable
Chairman of the Committee with a piece of plate, com-
memorative of his exertions to make such improvements
and repairs in the structure as to place it amongst the
most useful and elegant of modern metropolitan edifices.
The following is the resolution to which the Committee
came, by acclamation, at a late meeting:—" Resolved,
unanimously,—That it be recommended that the members
of the Committee should subscribe the sum of 50/. for a
piece of plate, to be presented to Jonathan Charles Prior,
Esq., Chairman, as a testimonial of the sense of the Com-
mittee of his great services during the execution of the
important works for the substantial repair of Blackfriars-
bridge."
