'HR NED7sIIT 0, tRII LORD SISHOP 01-4 HE DinCISR.

Tke interesting ceremonial of enthroning Dt.Sum N en,
the new Bishop 'uf this Diocese, took place on, Thursday
last, in our Cathedral; being the .first 'inSiance of a
Protestant Bishop having beer. personally enthroned in
this city. 'The novelty df the circumstance attrac:ed a
vast concourse of persons, at least ten thousand in num-
ber, to witness the ceremony, -ehe good order of which
was effectually preserved by a special body of police.
Soon after nine o'clock, the weather being very fa-
"rourable, every avenue leading to the Cathedral began
to be crowded by all ranks of persOns, eager to witness
the solemnity. The usual service commenced at Jen,
the stalls, seats, galleries, and every part of the vast
eJifice being thronged with people. At the conclusion
of the first lesson, the clergymen on duty, and their
officers, left the choir, and proceeded-to the chapter
room, where his Lordship awaited their arrival, in order
-to be escorted to take possession of the Mother Chat ch
of St. Lawrence, towards which the procession moved
in the following order :

Peace Oficen, with wands.
The Choristers of the Cathedral, chaunting a hymn.
The Lay Vicars of the Cathedral.

rence Church, the procession was joined by the Mayor,-
Recorder, and Aldermen of the City, at/tided by then
Mace Bearers and other Officers, all in their robe* of
office, and returned in the same order tothe.Cathedral;
the Chet isters singing a hymn on passing up the centre
aisle. On entering the choir, the Bishop advanced to the
alter table, where he knelt a short time in devotion, and
then returned towards his throne, to which, having Biel
taken the usual oaths before the whole congregation, be
was handed by the Chancellor and Senior Prebendary,
who stood on either side of his Lordship's seat. The;
enthronement being completed, the Service of the day:
proceeded, being rendered more than usually impel,-
inte, by a selection of grand and approptiate musk,
reflecting equal credit on the Reverend Pt ecentor, Mr.
Waratal, and those who so ably seconded his exertions.
The moat beautiful performances were CALAWS
Dena', in C.—Kimr's Anthem, " Biala be thou,
Low GOD of Israel,"—and a_ grand Hallelujah Chorus
from the Messiah. The blessing, at the conclusion
of the service, was pronounced by the bit•hop him elf,
is an audible and impressive manner, imMediately after
shack his Lordship retired. and the immitsse congrega-
tion dispersed. The Bishop's Lady sat voids some other
Ladies in a new and handsome pew neat, the throne,
throughout the whole service. After the Ceremony his
Loi &kip received several of the Clergy of his Diore.e,
who were in attendance for that purpose. In the after.
noon his Lordship dined with the Mayor of the City
(Richard Littiehale,, Esq ) and a large but select party
at St. John's House, while his tenantry were most libe-
rally entertained at one of the principal Inns.

sentence would be sufficient to effect the objects of the

punishment.
The Count expressed satisfaction at the course taken
by the Loa d Advocate, v hich relieved it from tie painful
necessity of pronouncing •st capital sentence; but their

RUBBETt-Y.
. Friday night, the respe table banking house of Messrs. '
Wane and SON, at Ledbury, in Herefordshire, was
entered, between seven and eight o'clock, by means
of picklock keys, and property to the amount •of ten
thousand pounds value was, we ate informed, carried
off.by the thieves.
this robSei y was executed with so much skill and
drat t ity, that it is the opinion of the police it was done
by some of the most thieves of the London school.
There can be no douht that the deep-laid plait for rob.
bing this bank had been for some time in contemplation
by the robbers. •
The property carried off by the villains consisted of
cash to the amount of between one and ;two thousand
Pounds; a bank post bill for 5001. dated October 26,
1827, payable at seven days' sight, to Richard Webb
Esq. ott order, accepted
.Dec.: 26, 1827, ""Fi. Brent,"
indorsed " Richard Webb," and signed " J. D. Ciwel
local'notes above 5001. braids, deeds, and writings of
great amount, and other valuable property.
As soon as the robbery was discovered by. the pro,
prie:ors of the bank, persons were dispa'ched to London,
expressly for the purpose of stopping the payment of
the notes at the Agents of the Bank in London. Infor-
mation was also communicated by the same messengers
to the Magistrates of Bow-street office, and Ledbetter,
a very active and intelligent officer. was immediately
sent off to use his •exertiont to trace the thieves and re-
cover the property. The thieves, it was ascettained,
came post to London, and effected their.object ; and so
active were they in their journey to town, that they
arrived in Lombard-street some hours before their pur-
suers; and in the middle of the day of Saturday last,
they exchanged 5504 of the stolen notes, for Bank of
England votes and sovereigns.
Inquiry was set on foot in Ledbury soon after the
robbery was discovered, and the following facts were
; elicited :

A person suspected to be concerned in the above
felony, came on Saturday, the sth inttant, by the
coach, to the Feathers Inn, at Ledbury: he went into
the commercial or Travellers' room, where be staid

he left by the Telegraph coach, for lirreturd, and saiJ
he was going to. Leominster; he returned on Friday by
the same coach, and dined in the Travellers' Room,
about two o'clock; he went nut immediately after din-
ner, trd did not return till about seven, and then or-
dered a post chaise to Tewkesbury ; he then went out
for a few minute;, saying he wanted to see a person;
he returned, and was in a great hurry to have the
chaise got ready ; he paid for the chaise and his bill
with a 51. Ledbu:y note ; when he had passed the turn.

and on to Orford, where they were set down in the
street about eight o'clock on Saturday morning. ,

in the spectacle of Wilkins-no Wednesday, a
the Bath Theatre, an accident occurred in the third
scene, which filled the whole house with cintternatioa.
Miss COOK'S and Mrs. ASHTON, the tw o flying Gass ries,
were elevated so the height of about ten or eleven feet.'
'when, by the slipping of an iron I inion in the n achinery.l

appears that only the lower part of the premises.
Consisting of a front and a b sck shop. are occupied
by Mr. Crook, and he had been in possession of;
the place little mote than three weeks. Since Mr.'
Crook has taken the premises, he has had se-
veral workmen constantly employed in fitting up
shelves, &c. During the last three Sund..ys, the ..lace
has b. en left without any protection, except what was
affor'ed by the hick on the trout dn..,. The watchman
of Waterl io-place, named Sony, went on his beat about
nine o'clock last night, and; it is his custom to try the
doors of every house as he goes his first round. On
trying Mr. Crook's door, he found it ajaroand pushed it
open. The gas light enabled him to see that a heap
of goods were scattered in disorder about the counter
and flour. He immediately gave information to Mr.
Smith; who resides nest door, and a4terwards sprung
his rattle, when several watchmen came to his assistance
Mr. Crook on receiving information of the robbery,
hastened to the spot. He discovered that a number of the
shelves had been cleared of some of the most valuable
stock, consisting of linens and silks. He found a blue stuff
bag, such as is generally used by professional men, lying
near the door, filled with valuable muslins, &c. teed y for
Carrying of. It would appear that. the thieves had been
Alarmed, and had left it behind them. They must have en-
tered the front door with a picklock key; and it would not
have occupied mare than a quarter of an hour to have
packed up the property which they cat tied off. A hackney
t.oach was.about four o'clock seen waiting near the pre-
mises for some time. Smith is of opinion the house was
entered in the dusk of the evening. and the property car•
r.ed off in the coach to some receiver of stolen' property.

two "'oilmen, named Ball and Collins, were eMploYetis
and he remarked that the otter drained through Ott
soil at the shield hutch mote rapidly than it had done for
some titre. The soil apt cued. which for soma sfayi
had been strong and clayey, much looser, And water
And sand poured through the left of the box, but not in
such quantities as to create .a supposition that the evil
could not be soon remedied. Mr. Brunel, jun. at about
half an hour past six o'clock, was standing in box No. 1,
what several hundred weight of mud was forced into
the tunnel through the left corner of No. 1 shield. The'
boxes No. 1 and 2, which had been in a very precarious-
state, had yielded to the pressure of the high tides of
the season, and permitted the influx of the river.
The water rushed with such extreme velocity, that
ae force of the air threw or e man upoa his back on
the stage, and extinguished the gas. It is difficult to
describe the agi.ation and alarm which prevailed among
the workmen at this moment. Those who could get
to the eastern arch effected their escape, and others
were cart ied by the force of the water to the end of the
shaft, and were taken out of tie water-in a state of ex
creme exhaustion. At one period about eighteen men
'.ere all immersed in the water, besides Mr. Brunel, jun.
and that Gentleman and twelve of the men, after being
repeitedly driven against the wood work, and severely
bruised, were taken out at the shaft nearly insensible.
Mr. Brunel, jun. was knocked down with Ball and
C .11ins, and at • the same instant Jephtha Cooke, who
was a bottom box. man, in attempting to escape, go
behind tire rush of water, which cut off his retreat,
aild he perished. 11.11, Collins, and Cooke, were de.
groyed almost instantaneously. The rush was so vi. lent
AS to destroy the lower part of the staircase by which
he lahoeit rs ascended and descended, so that it was
utterly impossible for them, by any exertion, to ive
themselves. Three other men, who, we lament to state,
tsave.also pet ished, named George Evans; J. Long, and
VlF‘Seten, were at wo k the lower boxes of the frame
when the catastrophe happened.
To attempt to dew' ibe the con ternation which existed
among the-workpenple would be superfluous. Each en-
deavouting to save his life, by his anxiety retarded the
progress of his companion; and it was with the most
miraculous difficulty that so many lives were saved. The
noise created by the influx of the water was tremen-
dous, and absolutely deafened the ears of thoie
en-
gaged at the base of the shaft ; indeed it was so
powerful. that the water rose several inches above the
level of the shaft, and absolutely reached .the lodge
itself. As soon as the alarm had reached the outside
of the shaft, the melancholy tidings were immediately
communicated to the Tunnel Office, and in a few mi-
nutes they were known through Rotherhithe. The
consternation which prevailed amongst the wives and
children of the workmen, and their anxiety to see their
husbands and parents, were most afflicting.
In the midst of this distressing scene, out rushed a
number of men in a state of great exhaustion, some
carrying their fainting comrades, who were removed to
the house of Mr. Timothy, the Spread Eagle, where
they were brought to by restoratives. .Mr. Brunel, jun.
was brought out with his ankle much injured in his exer-
tions to save the unfortunate men that have perished.—.-
That Gentleman gives the following account of the
*melancholy event :—He says that lie was at work with the
men in the first box, about five hundred and ninety-fire
feet under the river, when, all of a sudden, the earth
bloke in, as he then supfosed, through a hole not more
than six inches; but such was the velocity with which
it came in; that three men we; e struck doWn. He in
stantlyjnalped off the stage upon which he was stand•
ing. and attempted to snake firs way to the shaft, but
turned back again in ho,.es df--saving the unfortunate
men he had left behind; but finding all attempts im-
practicable. he swam to the shalt, and effected his escape
with the injury above stared.
The water immediately to e to the height of high
water in tlle tunnel, and the works of course are stopped.
Deep as it is to be regretted that this accident thould
be attended with loss. of life, it is yet a source of satis-
faction to •all concerned, that Mr. Brunel was on the
spot, and that all that could be done for the safety of
the poor sufferers was dote, at great risk to himself.
Mr. 13:utel, senior, was at Rothe, hithe when we left :
the river hid been examined, and the bole discovered.
It is not so large as the hole caused by the former ac-
cident. 'Orders were sent for the diving bell to be
brought' o tire spot. and also for a supply of a large
quantity of b igs of clay.
It should be understood, that she present spot of
excavation is many feet beyond the recent spot of
eruption ; and it ismoch to be regretted that the pre-
cautionary measures adriptea in that instance were not
continued. Had the bags of -clan peen thrown a few
feet further, so •as to rifford an additional substance of
earth, the accident might have been avert-d.
The damage done to the wore, cannot at present be
anticipated; but it is a singular circurastence, that the
calamity should occur so soon after the visk of *Don
Miguel, and so immediately antecedent to the intended
visit of his Royal flit ness the Doke of Clarence, who
I:ad fixed tie 96th of this mouth tin that purpose. ,
It was at first believed, that no 1 -ss than 20 men had
perished; and to ascertain positively the number and
names of the sufferers, there sr as a muster of the work-
men ordered. The following are the names of those
w hose bodes are now in the wafer inside the Tunnel :
Thomas Ball, leaving a wife; J.ihn Collins, leaving a
wife and two childieli ; Thomas Evans and W. Set, n,
single men; JeFbtha Cooke, leaving six child en or 7
phans; and John Long; leaving a wife.
the bodies cannot be brought out till some portion
of the water is drawn off. A meeting of the Dire:tors
e.f the Thames 'funnel Company took place on Saturday
afierno,,u, which was attended by the Messrs. &noel,
who reported the extent of the mischief, and the tio e
and expense which would be incurred in remedyinithe
same. This dka-ter, for a time, drove Mr. Bluntl to
a state of frenzy. 'lie, boo eve• now. speaks tonfldentlY
that he shall be able to overcome the accumulated dif-
ficulties which have presented themselves daring th
pfogress of the work, and though this event will retard
its completion, he has no doubt of ultimate success.
The following letter was on Saturday laid before the
Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company, which had
been written by Mr. Brunel, jun. when suffering great
bodily pain :
