Airt ratOP 'Of
Whet
ged fi ilkeirsiide Bishop bf Durham, after alai
illness of skins, doiatioti, ixpired on Saturday last, abott
one o'clock in the *nib& at his house in Cavendiih-
Square. His isoidship .Was the youngest son of Wil-
liam, first Viscchmt Barrington: He was born May
26, 1/54 ; was appointed Canon of Christ Church,
1761. In 1768 he was isoniinatted (anon Residentiary
of St. Paul's, and was raised to the See of Llandaff in
1769. In 1782 he was promoted to the See of delis-
bury, whence he watt removed, in 1791, to that bf
Durham. This Prelate died, therefore, in his 92d year,
and had enjoyed the episcopal dignity for 57 years: He
was twice married, but left no children. His first wife
was Lady Diana Beauclerc, a daughter of the Duke of
St. Alban's. His second Lady was- daughter and
heiress of Sir John Guise, Bart. of Gloucestershire.—
Tne late Bishop of Durham was gifted with uncommon
tenderness and benevolence of disposition, and was ex-
empt from all unchristian harshness and asperity.—
His acts of munificence, though deliberate and dis-
criminating, were as frequent as they were void
of ostentation. His zeal for the general interests of
Christianity was not sullied by an inexorable exclusion
of doctrines which he himself did not approve from the
pale of his charity, nor of ,their professors from hi,'
confidence and bows*. At a well-known era in our
modern history, when a large body of foreign ecclesi-
astics found that refuge in Protestant England which,
amongst people of their faith and blood, had been de-
nied to them, the Bishop of Durham was a hospitable
and generous protector to, many of those unfortunate
exiles, while the dispenser and confidential director of
his benefi.ence is stated to have been Mr. Charles But-
ler, a Gentleman well known for the alacrity and abi-
lity with which he has at all times maintained the cause
of Catholicism against the doctrines, policy, and inte-
rests of the Reformation, and who never forfeited the
friendship of the Bishop, though engaged in a contro-
versy with his Lordship's own Chaplains, Dr. Phill-
pacts and 'Mr. Townsend. In the distribution of the
rich patronage afforded to him by the See of Durham,
the Bishop has not been accused, at any period, of
neglecting the poor and unfriended among his Clergy,
or of raising the connexions of the-great and affluent by
sacrificing to them the claims of justice and of duty.
On the whole, the late bishop may, without unfair-
ness to the general character of the English Bench, be
described as one of its most respectable members—em-
ploying great wealth with liberality, considerable power
with moderation, much zeal with meekness and charity,
and extensive learning with the industry of a conscien-
tious Clergyman, with the modesty of a Gentleman,
and for the most important of all human ends—the
service of true religion and virtue.
His publications, which were first collected in 1811,
consist of—
A Sermon, preached before the Lords,Westminster Abbey, 1779.
A Sermon, preached before the Incorporated Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Feb. 17, 1775-
A Sermon, preached before the Lords, Fast-day, -Feb.ll7, 1799:
A Charge delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Salisbury,
1753.
Four Charges delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Durham
between the years 1791 and 1510.
A Charge delivered to the C'hurwardens of the Diocese of Dur-
ham. 1501.
A Letter to the Clergy 5f as Diocese of S4lisban's a Cir-
cular Letter to the Acting Magistrates of the County Pidatioe
Durham.'

A Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company took
pia. eon Saturday morning. Lord TICYNHAW took the
Chair, and observed, that the Meeting had lietni called
in consequence of the misrepresentations made is a'
Morning Paper, wherein he was charged with receiving
a sum of money from the Company. 'llls his Lordship'
positively denied, or that he had ever received one six-
pence fmm any Company, with one exception. Another
assertion of the same Paper was, that he was the
founder of the Company ; but he held a letter in his
hand, which proved that Mr. Hendricks was the
founder; and Mr. H. having been at considerable out-
lay, expence, and personal trouble, claimed an indem-
nity. Mr. Hendricks had had 5001. to purchase shares
for the benefit of the Company, when they were at a
discount. His Lordship then proceeded to state the
finances of the Company as they now stood. There
were 2500 shares, 110 had been redeemed, which left
the receipt, at 51. per share,l2o4l. of which 8101. was is
the hands of Martin, Stone, and Co. another sum in
the .hands of Fry and Co. The outstanding debts would
leave a loss of about 10s. per shale; and he proposed
that the money in hand should be divided, which would
come to 51. per share, and the Company be dissolved.
Mr. ANNICHINI said he could not consent to anything
of the sort; I,ood. had bees given to Mr. Hendricks,
expressly for the purchase of shares on account of the
Company, and they were not forthcoming ; these shares
he insisted, should be brought forward.
Mr. NiewsrAN said, his Lordship, when he saw the
Committee, actually promised that 41. 10s. should be
paid upon each Shale before the 27th. The present
proposition was a very different one.
Lord TarpHAM said, the payment of the 41. 10s. de-
pended upon a contingency—upon the condition that
all the Directors would defray their share of the ex-
penses incurred, and which the remAftling, pl. per.shafe
*mild be sufficient to liqitidita. :.'
'llr. Sfewwie —Those who sighed-4U thee. ArbliMliairelit'

Lord Imre** said, his Object in 'ignite the check for purchas-
ing the Shares was, that the Company might be got rid of as sows
:oPposdble. Suppose we dissolve the Company now, sad that Ss IS
day, say the 17th of April.
Mr. Assumes and several others said, k was alaserl to talk et
Aliseehring a. Company which, in fact, seem hdlllidi.
The Shareholders then called upon him to de* or contradict
the assertion that be had, upon the formation srliiillheimy, fixed
W own salary at 2300 a year.
His Louisan said, that Mr. Hendricks bad paseed 9 be b.. 1
sieved, that £l5ll a year should be allowed to sack Director,
.11300 a year for the Chairman He (Lord Teynbies) bad
Weed a farthing, or any thing whatever except reproach and
Mr. Newasae—We look terser Lordship for the 24 lOs.esiddl

Mr. Huey Symms said, be bad paid AS upon each Share of.

He should look to his Lordship.
Lord Towers said, Is every Company mown had been in:
cuffed of which the Shareholders ought to bear a properties.
After some further conversation, two or three ropeedtions were
made; but it was Wily determined, and with the fell spiroba-
thin of Lord Teynlasni and his son, that the Shareholders ',mild

EASTER HUNT. .

steed-it is Epping Hunt, and is quite a retl.lettir ditY in the calen-

chase in the moraine, will, ere evening, be humblid, and "fee the
hunting of this day ; ' while the poor street; lila JAM Gliphi's nag,
wondering" what things upon their back, they have got;" will play
such anticks with their riders as will make not angels, bat:motbers
weep : their beat prayer is, that their sons may fall soft, kneeing, as
Dean Swift says, that more the dirt less the bort, and as to a dis-
organised or injured wardrobe, that it is easily repaired.
