the best may below bridge, and Gregory, of Pepper-
alley, who bas proved himself to lie the best ►itda amen
in the kingdom, started from London Bridge sod pr►
ceeded to Battersea. The contest was for souse time
doubtful, (they alternately gaining- head of each other)
but ultimately the later prevailed, and was borne off 12
triumph by his friends.

Mr. Elßeton bad yesterday the honour to submit
to his Majesty's inspection, the plans for tbe projected
alterations of Drary-lane Theatre, which his Majesty
was pleased to exiunioe minntely, and to favour with
his approbation.
The performance of plays at Paris by an English
company is likely to be carried into effect. Mr. Pes•
ley, who has tried a similar experiment successfody
at Boulogne, Brussels, Calais, &c.. is the projector of
this plan, and, we hear, is patronised by the British
Ambassador at the French Court. Dowton, Knight.
and Miss M. Tree, are already engaged; and pert'.
'Coos are pending 'with others, among which Mr.
Charles Kimble and Oxberry are Ranted. The theatre
is expected to open in August.

JOHN WALTER AND MR. HARRY OMEAR
In Mr. 011eara's Work, " 4 Voice from S'. Helena,"
there is the following passage :
•• In 1814, the Editor of The ***** newspaper was
paid shout three thonsend pounds of your money, be-
sides having a great number of copies taken. I told you
before that I found his receipt among Blacas' papers, on
my return from Elba. Ido not know if ha is in their
pay.now. • also,
In that veer a great number of pam-
phlets were printed.in London. against the Bourbons,
and copies of each sent over to them, with a threat of
publication if they were sot paid. The Bourbons were
greatly frightened, and greedily booght them np. There
ois one pamphlet in particular. a terrible libel against
t' o late Queen of France, which it coat them a large sum
of tuoney to suppress."
The passage is copied into The Times of the Ibtli inst.
and commented on in the following terms It will
be observed, that the enormity of the lie is very cautious-
ly compensated by the obscurity, above noticed, in which
it is worded. Whom does Mr. O'Meara expect to put
conti,letre in his account of Bonaparte? The politi-
Vians of this eon ntry I But we have had dealings with most
of them and they most know from their own experi-
ince that he lies if be charges us with venality. They

Such is the conduct due to blr. O'Meara 's book." blr.
1/31care, conceiving himself grossly outraged by the
above remarks. in which he is directly charged with be-
ing the inventor of a lie, applied, as we understand,
without success to Mr. Walter, for explanation or apt,-
logy. Having fallen in with Mr. Walter, yesterday af-
ternoon between five and sit o'clock, shortly after his
leaving the Stratford Club-boase, Stratford Mews,
we understand, he proceeded very unceremoniously to
apply a horse-whip to him in presence of several spec-
titans. In stating the transaction v e have deemed it
necessary to 'ovation also the circumstances which gave
r;so to it.

1111? BISHOP -IND WE SOLDIER.

[room will MORNING enitouteut.]
We alertly alluded yesterday to a transaction whirls
has excited the greatest sensation in this metropolis, as
it, no doubt, will throughout the country, without mew
tiouing either the particulars or the parties. It has his.
the uniform practice of this Journal, ever since the nau-
seous, corrupting, and unwise proceedings in 1810,
which conveyed the knowledge of pollution into every
family throughout the Empire, to omit all mention of
offences of a certain description. We believe every fa-
ther or husband will agree with os, that no good can re-
sult from the publication of cases of such a nature at all
commensurate with the evil of which they are produc-
tive. We wish, therefore, we could have been spared
the necessity of noticing in any manner the transgres-
sion of the Right R d Prelate, who on this occa-
sion so far forgot what was due to his high calling, ens
to his family. We saw, however, that publicity would
here be onavoirlable; but we hesitated to give more thad
a brief notice, till we had made some infinities into the
subject. We now copy the following account from a
Sunday Pape:, and an Evening Paper of yesterday t
MARLUOGOUGLI ITRIPET.—A charge has been marl•

lie is an elderly man. (ln Thursday night he was de
toiled in a hack room of the White Lion public-house.
in St. Alban's place, St. James's, with a private in the
Foot Boards, which led to his instant apprehension and
resuov.:l with his companion to the watch-house. There
were not fewer than seven witnesses to the fact ; and it
!Would seem :hat the Prelate with difficulty escaped the
vengeance of the populace, who, if not prevented by the
rtteemilliers, would have sacrificed him to their Wig.
nation on the spot. As it was, he was severely beaten.
On being secured in the watch-house, he offered hail to
enema:mot f his liberation ; hut this was very properly
refused, and be remained locked up in a cell during the
night in a state of mind which may be more easily ima-
gined than described. Friday morning be was conveyed
in a hackney coach to Marlborough-street, and was
soon afterwards followed by the soldier. They wets
both !Amor., by die execrations and reviling. of the
era wd.—Mr. Dyer, the presiding Magistrate, determined
on a private 'gemination, at which Mr. Alley, who at.
tended for the Bishop, was preeerft. The wit o
were called in separately, but their testimony was in all
respects consistent, and the case established was to a cer-
tain extent of the clearest nature. Mr. Alley, however,
submitted, that as the capital charge had not been borne
out, client was entitled to bail, a proposition to which
we understand, Mr. Dyer was arliged to accede; and
the offender liar permitted, in the course of the day, to
go at large, upon finding sureties to the amount of on.
thousand pounds. The soldier, not so fortunate, was
compelled to take his trial. We decline entering more
minutely into the details of this shocking affair; but we
ought, in justice to a worthy Prelate, whose name has
unfortunately been mentioned by mistake, in connection
with the charge, to request our readers to reflect before
they come to a positive determination as to the party
impliented."—(Sunday Paper.)
• We are informed that during the examination not
only all persons casually present were ordered to leave
the office, but even all the constables of St. James's, ex-
cept the constable of the night. The friends of the
Bishop were suffered to renntin in the office. The eel;
dente was so strong that some surprise was expressed by
the constables who had heard the first depositions of
the witnesses. that the wretched man was not committed
on the capital charge. It is necessary, to prevent any
unfounded suspicious. to state that the individual in
question is the lion. P. J. Bishop of C. and brother to
the Earl of It."—(F,reaiug Paper.)
A number of report. are in circulation, but we forbear
now to notice them We shall merely mention, that we
have heard from gond authority that a man was nearly
