THE _ _P
TO OF LONDON AND

s1:3: R. FEEL.
h
The Globe of last evebngas discovered that some
premier and the Bishop
difference exists between the
of London, on the subject of e division of St.
George's, Hanover-square, into distinct and separate
n
parishes, and has seized the opportunity for eflecti
on the character of the Bishop of the diocese. The
Globe alleges that the Right Rev. Prelate is anxious
to appoint his son-in-law, the Rev. Henry Brown, to
the rectory of St. George's, vacant by the death of the
Very Rev. Dr. Hodgson, the Dean of Carlisle, and
that the Bishop was indignant that Sir Robert Peel
insisted on the creation of some smaller parishes,
whereby the ecclesiastical offices of the parish might
be more efficiently administered. To this, the ex-
Ministerial paper alleges the Bishop objected, as he
was anxious that his son-in-law should not be de-
prived of any of the emoluments. The statement thus
put forth is a gross falsehood. So far from any ob-
jection on the part of the Bishop existing to the
formation of smaller parishes, he was the first
to suggest the improvement ; and declared long since
that if the rectory should become vacant during the
time of his episcopacy he would carry out the ar-
rangement, For this purpose his Lordship proposed
the erection of St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge,
and recommended to the Metropolitan Fund Commit-
tee the propriety of making a grant for that object.
A liberal vote of money was made, and the Bishop
himself contributed to the fund from his own private
purse. But the best proof of the Globe's menda-
city will be seen from the fact, that within the last
few days a new parish has been created, embracing
Pimlico, Knightsbridge, and all the outwards of St.
George's. Of this parish the Rev. J. Fuller, and the
Rev. W. J. E. Bennett will be the joint rectors. The
Bishop has expressed his anxious desire to erect an-
other parish, and it will doubtless be effected before
any appointment to the rectory is made. That Mr.
Brown will have the appointment is tolerably certain,
and that will be the case whatever may be the opi-
nions either of the Globe or Sir Robert Peel.—Post.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—This morning between nine

A PRACTICAL JOKE.--AMena totoldus a few
evenings ago, and, though it was told us iL
we cannot resist the temptation of laying it be re our
readers, let the consequence be what it may:-.-4, In :he
western part of this city live and flourish two jolly
young fellows, who follow sign-painting for a livelihood,
and who are sometimes in the habit of cutting up what
are termed ' high shines.' It so occurred, a few days
ago, that one of the partners had some out-door busi-
ness to attend to, and left the shop in charge of his
partner and a little boy, who was employed to grind
paints. During his absence, the partner remaining went
to work and painted the boy's neck so as to represent a
large gash, and a cut over the eye. He then took red
paint, bespattered it over the floor, and clotted the boy's
hair, and made him lie down in a corner. He then
painted a great gash in his own cheek, bared his bosom,
disordered his dress, dipped a long-bladed knife in the
red paint-pot, and patiently awaited the coming of his
partner. Directly he heard him at the door the per-
formance commenced. The partner stuck his head into
the room door; one glance was sufficient; the boy pros-
trated on the floor, with his throat cut, groaning and
crying Murder ;' chairs, tables, benches, jugs, and
paint-pots, were strewn around the floor in dire confu-
sion while the murderous partner, with the bloody-
looking knife in his uplifted hand, was running through
the room, uttering wild and incoherent expressions. It
was evident to the partner at the door that his partner
had killed the boy. The thought was horrid; swift as
lightning he flew to his father and informed him of the
chzumstance. A number of friends were mustered, who
repaired _forthwith to the scene of action. The crowd
augmented as neared the shop, and in walked the
whole posse; but whai was their astonishment to find
the boy without a mark 0: any ldnd, the room in per-
fect order, no mark of blood peru:ntible, and the partner
engaged in lettering a sign, and ate: ignorance of any
d the

especially as the persons he brought there hinted tti one
another that during his absence he might have indulge.:'
too freely in fire-water.—St. John's paper.

THE LATE AcciDENT AT DEREY.d—On Sunday"
last the remains of five of the sufferers who met a me-
lancholy death by the late accident in Derby, were in-
terred at St. Peter's Church, in this town ; George Ban-
croft, one of the sufferers, being interred the day previous.
Although it poured down with rain there was a large
assemblage of spectators to witness the sad ceremony;
indeed, St. Peter's-street and London-road were filled
with persons, and the police had great difficulty in
keeping them at a proper distance from the funeral pro-
cession. So great was the interest excited, that the
body of the church was crowded during the whole of
the afternoon service, the funeral taking place imme-
diately ibfterwards. The bodies of Thomas Walker and
George Walkeibrothers) were attended to the grave
by upwards of 200 members of the Ancient Order of
Foresters ; the former pern being a highly respected
=;.2
member of Court Loxley, No. 1,700. The funeral ser-
vice was read in a very impressive manner by the Rev.
W. Fisher. The two Walkers were interred in one
gram; Charles Bagguley and Joseph Wardle in an-
other ; Drown and Bancroft in separate graves. It
having been anileunced that the Rev. W. Fisher would
preach to the friend." and relatives of the deceased in
the evening, there sva: a very large congregation at St.
Peter's Church. The servi,:e was very appropriate to the
sad occasion. The Rev. Gentleman took for his text
the first five verses of the 13th chi
..rater of St. Luke. It
ened to with very
!vas an excellent discourse, and was

Such was the devastation of the floods at Kilkenny,
by high tide and continued rains, as to sweep the streets
like a deluge, rising several feet in the houses, and
oesi car-
rying away furniture, beside corn, flax, and potatn
the country. The city was a complete river for some
hours, and the inmates of small houses only escaped by
climbing to the roofs. There has been a lamentable loss
, of property.—Cork Examiner.
