tits—A few years ago, t Cuarknsats of the Bishop
of Clogher was prosecuted fur accusing She Itevere•d
rather in God of an attempt to commit sit airoininabk
Crime. He was tonna gollty by acclatutatistwas
logged, imprisoned, and roloed.—After his iiitunre,
he solemnly declared to • clergyman who visited him
in his cell, that he was innocent; and, since a recent
occurrence in London, there is good o to believe
that his declor•tion was true. Has •ot this poor moo
• claim opoo the plane compassios ? Hs way
scourged, imprisoned, and disgraced; he is now is
Ibis city. lo a elite or great poverty. If you think
proper to open a inbecription for him, I will costri-,
buts. as an enemy to vice, hypocrisy, soil oppression.
I am, Sir, yours, A CITIZIN.

illaaturoaeuen-seassv.—Application was en Saw.
day made to the Sitting Magistrate at this office, t y
the desire of Col. Downes, in whose regiment t►e sol-
dier served who was detected is eoenpany with the
Bishop of Clogher nadir inch dreadful ciresmetaaces
os the night of Friday week, take*, if he bad or had
not been admitted to WI? This impsiry was induced
is consequence of a rumour having hero circulated that
be had been bailed, and was then at large. The Ma-
gistrate said that the man was still in custody ; hot
that meths charge against him anseanteal only to a mil•
demeanor, he was entitled fo his &actors* on premise.
Ing proper recognisance'.
Bow•sraasr.—iiatorday, Willisn. Butterfield, a
musician in the Guards, and a chimaey-sweep, both in
the uniform of their professioas„ preferred a charge of
assault, tee. sleekest Mrs. M'lntire.
From the evidence of Butterfield, it appeared, that
in passing through New Round-court, in the Strand,
that morning, while a crowd bad assembled there, he
met with the prisoner, sad accidentally came in con-
Oct with her, upon which she assaulted him and threw
Mes against the sweep, and then raised the cry of "the
Soldier and the Bishop:" and need many other grchl
terms, for which, more than the assault, the two com-
plaisante brought the prisoner before the Magistrates.
Butterfield stated, that he bad bees thirty-six years
is the army, and sever seal then was inspected or
charged with having any connection with the clergy
or chimney sweeps.
Mister Harris, the honest chimney-sweep, desig-
nated as a Bishop, said—" What that ere Hemmen
says is tree; 1 rants to knew why this ere mates calls
me a Bishop ? I gets my living honestly as a Sweep,
aid not as a Bishop, and t keeps a rife and five chil-
dren; and though 1 bees always called a clergymen,
sad belonging to tbe cloth, and that ere sort of shines
1 he no Bishop—and 1 never is my born days was dis-
reverted es a Bishop till this ere business at Marlbo-
rough-street office took place, and 1 was no more con-
weed in that job than any of your bononrs.
Mr. HALLS assured the clergyman that he was not
suspected of bear a Bishop, upon which Mister Har-
ris proceeded by elating, in his o.en manner, that he
sad all those of his business could not new walk the
,Itstrests Jwitlrodt having the te►m "Bishop" applied
411 them, which, from a reseal treesaction. be coati-
Jared must disgraceful to Iris proLssiun as a chimney
sweep, and concluded his °ratios by saying—" 1 gets
•y living by corking, and not like a Bishop, and
claims your Honour's protection against that ere smile
word.'•

Mts. Atlntire was committed to the Se'sions, and
sweep was told that be lay under no suspicion of be-
ing a Bishop.
During this examination, which continued for some
time, the whole office was one continued roar of
lasghter.
WIATUIR.—Tbis week has been so showery that not
a single day, except the present, has passed without some
rain. The showers here, however, have been light and
of abort duration ; but in other parts of the KlnDelosu
have been heavy, and in some accompanied with thunder
storms. On Sunday afternoon the lightning struck a
stack of chimneys in Nicholson's-street, Edinburgh, sod
displaced some large stones and melted the bell wires of
►he house. At Gainsborough. on Monday, the Old
Hall was struck and damaged, and in the neighbonthmsd
a hay-rick was set on fire. Oo Thnrsday week, a chim-
ney was also demolished at Sleaford. The rain was very
heavy both in Scotland and Ireland last week. At Mimi-
burgh the Cowgate and all the low streets were inun-
dated ; and about Carlow there is very little prospect of
saving the hay that has been cot, and the corn crops i.re
in great danger of being mateciallyinjured. The quan-
tity of rain that has fallen since Saturday last is 40 tin.i-
dredths of an inch.
