On Friday morning, Croft became the scene of unusual)
bustle and gaiety—carriages, horsemen, and pedestrians,
arriving in quick succession from about nine o'clock till
nearly twelve, at which time the Bishop entered his
carriage, accompanied by his Chaplains, the Rev. Mr.
Strong, and the Rev. Mr. Plomer, and his domestic
Secretary, Mr. Douglas, and immediately drove off.
His Lordship's carriage was drawn by six beautiful
bay horses, and after it followed a chariot and four,

and thus addressed hia Lordship!—
" Mx Loan—Mr. Berson attends here on behalf of the Lord of
the Napo, of Sock Luta. to perform the honorary service due from
Ille antler of that Minbr—would your Lordship be pleased to re-
ceive it in ran carriage, or would you alight?"
..- • His Lordship replied, that be would alight, and immediately de.
'tended from Ms carriage. when Robert Bayson, Esq. (of Stock-

'Sit William Blacken, presented an ancient falchioa to the Bishop,
and repeated the following words, in a clear and audible voice :
" Mt Loan Bismor—l bete present you with the fakhion, where-
with the champion Conyers slew the worm, dragon, or fiery flying
serpent, which destroyed man, woman, and child; in memory of
which, the King thep reigning gave him the Manor of Sockburn,
to hold by this tenure, that upon the first entrance of every Bishop
into the county, this fakhlon should be presented."
.The Blum, on retaining the falchion, said, he received the ser-
vice with great pleasure, and he requested that his best compliments
might be paid to the Lord of Sockburn. together with his wish
that he might long enjoy the Manor, and he begged he might also

7-THIR 'BISHOP'S ENTRY INTO DURHAM. .-
At oneo'clock on Friday last the Bishop of Durham
made his-public entry into the city of Durham. Ac
cording to ancient custom • the Dean and Prebendaries
of tho Cathedral- in their• carriages, and also a number
of others, previous to his Lordship's-arrival, met him at
Farewell Hall, about a mile and a half from Durham,
where they alighted from their carriages, when the Dean
read a formal and congratulatory address to him, which
his Lordship replied to in a very grateful manner. This,
being over, -his Lordship advanced for Durham, the
Dean and Prebendaries following in close procession,
until they came to their own road which leads to the
College; they then separated, leaving his Lordship with
several Gentlemen and the principal tradesmen of Dur-
ham. As soon as his Lordship had arrived in the,
market-place of the city, the Mayor and Corporation,
who were in waiting, received him most graciously,
and their Recorder, William Hoar, Esq. who was,
in the -costume of his office, addressed his lordship,
who, though he appeared to labour under indisposition,
made, in a dignified style, a suitable reply. His Lord-
ship then proceeded to his Castle, preceded by the ban-
ners of the different trades of the city. His Lordship
rode in a neat and an elegant carriage, which was drawn,
by six beautiful bay horses. The bells of tie Cathedral
and other Churches were rung during the day, and the
national flags were displayed on some of the steeples in'
honour of the event. At four o'clock of the afternoon,
his Lordship attended the Cathedral, where the cere-
mony of enthroning took place in the presence of some
hundreds of spectators. His Lordship is a sitortish thin
old man, and apparently of a very delicate constitution.l
