WANT OF ACCOMMODATION AT THE " PIKE."—At
the Bolton licensing sessions, last week, Mr. Brownlow.
solicitor, applied on behalf of Mr. Radcliffe, for a license
to a house at Rivington Pike, and produced a memorial
signed by all the publicans in Horwich, overseers, guardi-
ans of the poor, and other parties; and it was urged that
as the "rude and antique" spot, commanding such splen-
did views, had now become a place of such favourite re-
sort, it was necessary to have a place for refreshments;
and, again, that the resort would be still more famed when
the Rivington Pike water scheme. was carried into effect
at Liverpool. The magistrates, however, declined to
grant the license.
ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS.—We understand that it
is in contemplation to divide the Lancashire district, now
presided over ecclesiastically by two prelates, the Right
Rev. Dr. Brown, bishop of the district, and the Right
Rev, Dr. Sharpies, his coadjutor bishop, into two sees,—
one to be called the see or bishopric of Liverpool,—of
which Dr. Brown, it is said, is likely to be the bishop;
and the bishopric of Salford, under the care of Dr. Shar-
pies. On Thursday, the Right Rev. Dr. Hogarth was to
be appointed bishop of the Durham District, and it is
was supposed would be installed in Usher College, near
Durham.—Manchester Guardian.

AUTHORITIES.—Owing to the late outbreak in this town
a very numerous meeting of the members of the various

Ashton a few days ago, when it was unanimously agreed
that a deputation should be appointed to wait upon the
magistrates and inform them of the willingness of the
body of Orangemen to aid them in the suppression of any
disturbance that might take place whenever called upon.
The deputation was courteously received, and the autho-
rities expressed their thanks for the loyal feeling Moth.
forted by the members of this loYal order.
