DISPOSAL OF BISHOPRICS.

In 1836 the Whigs disposed of five bishoprics, viz. :
Durham - - Dr. Maltby - - Cambridge.
Chichester - - Dr. Otter - - - Cambridge.
Ely - - - - Dr. Allen - - - Cambridge.
Lichfield - - Dr. Butler - - Cambridge.
In 1831 they filled three more vacancies, as follows :
Salisbury - - Dr. Denison - - Oxford.
Norwich - - Dr. Stanley - - - Cambridge.
Hereford - - Dr. Musgrave - . Cambridge.
And in 1839 two more • .

Peterborough - Dr. Davys - - - Cambridge.
Lichfield - - Dr. Bowstead - - Cambridge.
Eight Cambridge turns to one Oxford, taking no account
of translations in favour of Cambridge men ; as Dr. Maltby
from Chichester to Durham ; and Dr. Bowstead, from Sodor
and Man to Lichfield • nor of the rumoured advancement of
either Mr. Dawes, of Downing College, Cambridge, or of
Mr. Pepys, of St. John's College, Cambridge, to the see
vacated by Dr. Bowste.ad !
SMITH'S PRIZES.—The Examiners yesterday evening ad-
judged the first prize to Ds. Ellis, of Trinity college, Senior
Wrangler ; and agreed that for the second prize Ds. Good-
win, of Caius college, and Ds. Woolley, of St. John's col-
lege, were so nearly equal that they should be subjected to
re-examination on Monday next.
CLARE HALL.—On Saturday last, the two silyer cups,
left by Dr. Robert Green, of Tamworth, were adjudged to
Hervey and Green; the first as the reward of regularity of
conduct, the second of general learning.
The Rev. W. C. Twiss, M.A., of Coins College, in this
university, has been presented to the vicarage of Eyeworth,
Bedfordshire ; patron, Lord Ongley.
The Rev. Thomas Massey, 8.A., formerly of St. John's
college, in this university, has been presented to the rectory
' of Hatcliffe, Lincolnshire, in the patronage of the collegiate
Church of Southwell.

The Rev. Henry Isaac Nicholson, formerly of Jesus col-
lege, in this university, has been presented to the vicarage of
Great Paxton, Huntingdonshire, vacant by the death of the
Rev. Isaac Nicholson ; patrons, the Dean and Chapter of
Lincoln.

The Rev. Thomas Stoneham, M.A., formerly of St.
Peter's college, in this university, son of Mr. Stoneham, of
Springfield, Essex, and late minister of Wrickwardine-wood,
Shropshire, has been preferred to the living of Ketley, in
that county.
The Rev. G. N. Turner, M.A., formerly of Jesus college,
in this university, has been presented to the rectory of Ket-
tleborough St. Andrew, Suffolk, vacant by the death of the
Rev. George Turner; patron, for this turn, the Hon. and
Rev. F. Hotham.

A daughter of the late Samuel Crompton, sole inventor of
the " mule," is compelled to apply for parochial relief, while
the family of Arkwright, who, in the first instance, merely
copied an invention, or machine, ranks among the wealthiest
in the kingdom.—Lancaster Guardian.
VAN AMBURGII.—Mr. Van Amburgh is now entirely re-
covered from the effect of his accident, his long confinement
under which was much less owing to the accident itself than to
his having imprudently treated it too slightly at first, by ven-
turing out too soon. At present, however, he is evidently
as much a match for the king of the forest as ever.—Pans
print.

LIBERALISM AT A DISCOUNT.—As one of the signs of
the times, we may notice that a whig newspaper circulating
in Yorkshire, which has been established nearly six years, was
published the other day with only four advertisements, and
two of those were announcements by the proprietors. Another
whig-radical journal in Yorkshire, which has published 100
advertisements in one day, did not number 40 in its last
publication.
PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.—These papers can no longer
be sent under a member's frank, as hitherto. The " votes "
and the other papers of the session, formerly sent free, it is
calculated will cost in future, about £9 for the session,
for postage, and an additional cost of about £5 will attend
the transmission of the series, if they include the treasury re-
turns. Any parliamentary paper weighing less than 2 oz. may
, be sent under a penny frank.
SOClALlSM.—Petitions to Parliament, signed by nearly
400 of the most respectable merchants, bankers, and trades-
men of Huddersfield, including men of all sects and parties,
have been forwarded to London for presentation, praying
for an inquiry into the alarming and increasing state of infi-
delity, under the spurious name of " Socialism," which has
unfortunately made too great progress among the working
classes there; who, generally speaking, are the worst informed
portion of the community.--Leeds Intelligencer.
" TURN-OUT OF FACTORY HANDS IN STOCKPORT."—
Under this beading a most impudent and mendacious para-
graph a
PPetkvs in the Morning Chronicle, stating " that be-
tween five hundred and six hundred hands employed in the
extensive works of Thos. Marsland, Esq. the conservative
member for Stockport, left their work on Friday morning
last, in consequence of some attempted abatement in price."
The above is a deliberate falsehood from beginning to end,
and has been foisted upon the public for a base political pur-
pose. We can assure our readers, that our worthy represen-
tative has nothing whatever to do with the manufactory, hav-
ing long since left it ; nor were the hands out at the time we
went to press this day (Thursday).—Stockport Advertiser.
A CONSCIENTIOUS RESTITUTION.--On Monday night
last, Mr. Hampton, the secretary to the Bury Temperance
Society, called on Mr. John Shaw, at his shop, in the Wild,
and stated that he had been requested to wait upon him, and
pay him five shillings, by a person who about ten years be-
fore had entered his garden, and stolen some fruit therefrom ;
and who now, in the full conviction of the wrong he had done,
wished to make that reparation. Mr. Shaw said he had a
garden about the time mentioned, but he was not aware of
having lost any thing in the way described : he would, how-
ever, accept the money, and hand it to some beneficial insti-
tution ; and as he knew not any more so than the temperance
association, he would make a present of the five shillings to
their funds.
