GLOUCESTER, SEPT. L

On Saturday last Ite ternains of the Hon. Jauts
Yonne, Lord Bishop of ELY were interred with due
solemnity in the family vault Forthampton, near
Tewkesbury. The body was attended to the grive
by Lord SOMEMS, Mr. DowneowetY, and several
other Gentlemen, who were anxious to pay the last
duties to their departed friend ; and the respftgOl
concern which marked the countenance of every indi-
vidual who witnessed the solemn scene, evinced most
forcibly- the impression which the loss of so good a
man had made in the neighbourhood.
Yesterday, at an Ordination held at the Cathedral,
by the Lord Bishop of this Diocese, the following
Gentlemen were admitted to Orders, viz.—Deacrns
—Messrs. JAS. RUDGE, H. BERKIN, T. AN &lows, S.
Cneswayti and W. WOOLSTON.—Priests—Messrs.
