It havini been naderstorad
.that fits Lordslrtp was }o
be in Salisbury by II o'clock .on Thursday ,morninutbe
roads all the way were thronged, especially by the yod:;s,
to witness a scene new to them, and nearly-forgotten by
the old. The venerable Mr. Boucher, the Bi..hisp's
Steward, Mr. Edward Davis, the Registrar, aid an .at-
tendant, went out to greet the Bishop, selso arltisked
about half-past eleven o'clock, at the Down ; whe•
alighting from his carriage, he went into a mar*
where being informed that he most cut a turf to ieen'r.
possession of the Manor of Milford, his Lordship cot
the turf, on which the Steward said, as far as cosid be
understood, al My Lord, by this act your Lordship l r•
comes possessed of the Manor of Milford, (which 'roe -
ages has belonged to the Cathedral Church of Nris•
bury) and of which act all around are witnesses." T..ey
then proceeded to Salisbury, and the mrrket-pl tc.e
never exhibited such a scene: A most numerous acces•
sion of all sorts of per-ons notified that his Lordship
was at hand. The cart is ;e soon appeared. Mr. Money
Fis!aer, as Clerk of the Works, and Mr. Mott, his Lord-
ship's Verger, preceded it. The throng became excessive;
there were at least 7,000 persons assembled ; wlMe the
surrounding windosss and roofs were crowded to exce s.
Mr. Chancellor Marsh first alighted, then Mr. Boucher,
who immediately reset, and afterward his Lordship,
who appeared aged, but not infirm ; lie wore gla .s,
and a shade, his sight having become enfeebled through
intense study. He was supported into the Council-
house by Mr. Marsh, the band playing the Nstional
Anthem. In the great room his Lordshi2 was receiv• d
by the Mayor and a numerous assemblage of the Cor.
poraticn, where an elegant cold collation was provided.
Having partaken of this repast, his Lordship went to a
house the corner of New-street, the property of William
Sanger, Esq. Ater having met with the Canons arid
Priest Vicars, his Lordship robed, went through the
house into High-streer, and, preceded by the Choristers
and Clergy, supported by the Very Reverend the Dear
on his left, and the Rev. Mr. Canon Macdonald on 11 s
right, moved on towards the Cathedral, When arrived
at the third tree in the close, a boy of the Foundation
School delivered a Latin oration, congratulating the
Bishop on his arrival.
The procession then moved onward to the Church—
the Gentlemen of the Ch it singing the Anthem, "Oh !
how amiable," &c. by Richardson ; after which, " Oh 1
be joyful," &c. by Bishop. When they arrived with n
the west gate, the Bishop knelt, and took an oath to
preserve the rights and privileges of the Church. He
then went to the Communion, and was seated on Vie.
Throne, Te Deum being chaunted by the Gentlemen of
the Choir. Ater which he proceeded tn the Chap er
House, and was elected is the Pre!;endal stall of Pot-
terne. He was installed, and the wonders of the day.
were finished.

The Dean entertained his Lordship and the Clergy in
a sumptuous manner at the Deanery. The Bishop only
remains for a day or two.

HAMPTON RACES—LAsT DAY.-JuLT 8.

The Grand Ball at the Toy, Hampton Court, WAS very nume-
rously attended on Thursday night, by Nobility, Gentry, and Mi-
litary Officers, and the attraction of the Polonaise' and various
other of the most celebrated quadrilles, kept the company urge-
ther till an early hour the following morning.
The only accident which occurred to-day, was the running away
and upsetting of a horse and gig, in which a Lady was sitting ; but
as it did net happen on the Course, we had not an opportunity of
ascertaining whether it was attended with fatal consequences.
Match for 50 soya. each. Two miles.
Mr. Messer's Miss Sly, Bst.
Mr. Jacob's Jewess, 9st. 71h. - 2
Betting-5 to 2 and 3tol on Miss Sly, but no takers.—lt wag,
a considerable time before Miss Sly could be brought to start, front
her repeated plunging; and very few jockeys would have kept so
well upon her back, or even venture to ride her at all, as Macdo•
nald did; however, at last, off they went, and Jewess made most
severe running until about two distances from home, when Miss
Sly came out, and after a hard struggle won her race in high style,
by a very honest length.
A Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 soya. each, with 10 added: 'Heats
One Mile.
Capt. Berkeley's Little Driver, 9st. 61b. 1 I
Capt. Locke's Irene, Bst. 71b. 2 3
Mr. Ball Hughes's Earl, 7st. 3 2 .
' First Heat—Fairy made all the running until the turn coning
borne, when she bolted and ran almost into the Thames.; the con-
test then became strong between Irene and Little Driver, who
soon got in front, and won the heat in a canter.

Second Heat—A fresh jockey, Old Jerry, was now play.d upon
Fairy, it being found that the boy who rode her the first heat had
not strength to hold her. Irene made strong play for about half a
mile, when Little Driver came up, followed by Fairy, acd a very
pretty race ensued between these two, till within a distance of the
Judge's Chair, when Little Driver made ground every throw, and
won the race cleverly, by a length, Little Driver was rode by a
boy; Irene by Snap. Any odds on the winner for both heats,
but no takers.
