Wednesday, the Lord Bishop of LONDON attended Di-
vine Service at Paddington Church. and afterwards proceeded
to the consecration of a large piece of ground, as an addition to the
Church-yard. This spot was formerly the garden and pleasure-
ground of the ancient manor house of Paddington, and twin% adorned
with stately timber and a variety of ornamental shrubs, presented
so picturesque an appearance as to remind us of the beautiful ceme-
tery of Pere-la-Chaise. The Bishop was attended on this occasion
by a numerous company of the Clergy and Gentry of the Parish
and its vicinity.
BROADSTAIRS..—Every house in this pretty Hide
place is taken, and it still continues one of the most charming quiet
retreats on the coast. Among its distinguished visitors at present
are the Earl of Saarestanav Mr. Secretary Peat, and Miss Writ-
wax. Mr. Dawson, the Underi Secretary of State, is also bete,
with his family.
HAYMARKET TR EA T R E.—The Sleeping Draught was
performed at this Theatre last night, for the first time during the
present season. The part of Popelist was performed by Kum
with considerable effect. Quite Correct, and Midas followed. The
House was well attended.

Accounts have just been received from New Zealand,
of the arrival there of the Hope, Captain Moans, having touched
there on her passage front New South Wales; her cargo consists of
some of the finest wool imported from that colony, and may be
daily expected to arrive in the Thames. This colony is daily rising
in importance, and affording proofs of its peculiar fitness for the
produce of this article, so important to the staple manufacture of
this country.
The recent accounts from Holland, received by
private letters from Guelderland, state that the heats in that and the
surrounding country have been great, to a degree before seldom
known, the grass being entirely burnt up, and the thermometer fre-
quently at 91 degrees in the shade. The effects of the tot weather
have been so great, that the cattle have everywhere been bowed
and fed in the same way as it is customary to do in winter. There
was little or no hope of relief from a good hay crop, the deficiency
being great.
MENTAL RESERVATION.—AIthough the lower orders
of the Irish are famous for a species of ready wit, mingling volatility,
and a rich vein of humour, they are no less marked by a quaintness
of expression and mental reservation, calculated to gain time, evade
inquiry, or having, that brought home to them which they via to
avoid : of this last complexion is Shelah's answer to a country M-
gistrate—" What's gone of your husband, Shelab ?" " What's gone
of him, your Honour's Worship ; faith, and he's gone dead." " Aye,
pray what did he die of?" " Die of, your Honour ;he died of
I Tuesday." " I don't mean the day, but the complaint ?" " Oh!
complaint, your Honour; faith, and its himself did not get time to
complain." "Oh! oh ! aye, he died suddenly?" " Rather that
way, your Worship." " Did he fall down in a fit?' (No answer
I front Shelab.) " He fell down in a fit, perhaps?" " A fit, your
Honour's Worship; why, no, not exactly that—he—he fell out of k
window, or a door, I don't know what they call it." " Aye, aye,
and he broke his neck ?" " No ; not quite that, your Worship."
" What then ?" " There was a bit of a string or cord, or that like,
and—it throttled poor Mick." " And pray for what did he suffer?"
" Suffer, your Worship (weeping), faith, only for embellishing
(embezzling) a trifle that he taught was his own ; but his master
said it was not, and so they swore away his precious life, and that's
all ; for Mick's as innocent as the babe unborn."

COOKE AND TUX SCOTCH MANAGIERe-.-DuringOne•ol.'
the seasons when the celebrated Grown FREDERICK
was delighting some of our northern neighbours in the
" Land o' Cakes," with his inimitable performances, the
night being very hot, and the Tragedian having acted
his best, towards the close of the evening, as might be
guessed, he felt not a little fatigued. The managerial
monarch perceived this, and between one of the scenes in
Bosworth Field, he took the mimic hunchback into his
dressing-room, and unlocking a corner ciiplpard, be
►elected' a wee thistle glass, and filling it -with' Aiitive
whiskey, presented it to Gamma Fazszatce," exclaim-
ing, " Here Moister Kuke, I dinna think this will hurt
ye." de No," says Gnaw:, glancing at the size of tl:e
co No, my friend, net if it vas vitriol.'"
