PRINCESS'S• THEATRE.
A farce,called Hot aid Cold was -pioduced at this
theatre last night. It is as slight as it is extravagant,
turning upon the practical revenge of a pugnacious
milliner, who, having been required to quit . her
apartments against her'will, takes away her landlord's
clothes while he is indulging in the luxury of a bath
behind a curtained recess. His servant, by a similar
process, is reduced tothe same r predicament, and the
humour of -the piece consists in the pair—the one
shivering and the other parboiled—looking out in
agony from opposite sides through the folds of the
drapery, while the bride elect of the landlord is
awaiting her swain in front. The farce is thus of
the broadest hue, and is well calculated to elicit met.;
rinient from those members of an audience who are
not over particular is to their sources of pleasure. It
is embodied by Mr._Ray, Mr. Forman, Miss Sanders,
and Miss. Somers,. .

_AN.6
_FOREIGN PRELATES.

To THE EDITOR OF THE S
SIR, —Having resided several years in Italy, and so-
journed many months together in its principal cities, I
had an opportunity of making inquiries into the reve-
nues of the prelates in that country.
You will, perhaps, be surprised, as I was myself, to
hear that all the bishoprics in the patrimony of St.
Peter (excepting the bishopric of Rome), and they are
very numerous, amount to less in alue than the single
bishopric of London. The prelate who occupies that
se• (or rather regality) cannot deny that in sixteen years
he has received from it one million sterling. No incon-
siderable share of this enormous sum accrued to him
after the Reform Bill, and after the formation of the
Ecclesiastical Commission, in which, although an inte-
rested party, he did not hesitate to take his place
Mr. llorstaan has exhibited the conduct of the Go-
vernment and of the bishops in that affair. It is to be
regretted that he has been in some degree thwarted in
his laudable expose.
National indignation will, however, compel the House
of Commons to make renewed and searching inquiries
into the intrigues and intricacies of a mammon-loving,
and I fear, crumbling church. Crumbling only, because
in her system she is " of this world.
I.am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
VERAX. `

REFunsENTATioN of TEWKESBURY.—We regret
to state that Mr. Humphrey Brown, the ,Member. for
