FROMI A CORRESPONDENT.--It is not generally known that we have at present an American Bishop amongst us, led to this country with the view of obtaining funds for a clerical endow- ment in the back settlemenrts of America, where there is a want of ralizious instudction. Bi-hop Chase, for such is his name. moved by the almost destitute condition of the population of Ohio, has re- linquished the comforts of civilized life and of his home, in the pro- vince of Connecticut, and sacrificed the best part of his smaU fortune in the fottndaton of a school for ediucating young mnen for the church'; finding by experience that those alone born and breld on' the soil would consent to undergo the deprivations and fatigues con- sequent on their pious offlce.

At the very time when some noisy blockheads are intro- ducirig into our Theatres the custom of calling for performers after the plav is over, the Freneb, from whom the folly is copied, are pro- h.bited From indulging in this practice; or, rather, the actors are commanded not to obey the call. A Paris journal of Friday says- 4 The custom of calling for actors and obliging them to appear after the representation of pieces, has been longdegeneratinginto an abuse destructive ef order, and particularly of the tranquillity which ought to reign at the tleatres. The public authorities have therefore re- solved to renew in the most expresg m-anner the prohibition formerly enforced against the submission of actors in such cases to the de- mands imade upon them." On Monday, as a fine boy, of poor parents, about five 'rears of age, was amUsing himself bv letting pebbles fall over tbe Pump G-oyne, he suddenly lost his hold, and the next instant was Immersed in the liquid elemnent. A dog belonging to a seataring moan, named Mirtm, beheld the disaster, and plungedx to the assist- ance of the infant. The child, in his struRgles, got his arms round the neck of his canine friend, which was of the small mastiff kind, and held him SC tightly, that both, for some time, were in danger of Derishing. The latter catastrophe, however, was prevented by their drifting with the tide,so as to be reached by the extension of an an.' from the summit of the Groyne, over whici both had ptssed, and o~'er which both were brought back to land, fast locked together as menti,yscd, and heforeany very cssenttal injury had been sustain- ed by either'. The dog has become a great favourite with the child dnoce._ ringfdOfl Jousrnal. On Tuesday mornting last, Mary RTeeves, the feimale servant of Mr. John Churcher, of this town, baker, was suddenly attacked with a violent pain in the head, accompanied by a profuse ble:ding of the nose and ears, and before medical assistance could be procured, she wvas literally raving mad, her exertions being so powerful tbat sbe was with diffculty held by four men; and although at intervals something better, she bas been subject to relapses, and sti3l continu 3angerously ill.-Southiamnpton Herald. For s9Won-tme past, a successful antI fraudulunt practice has becrciirnc5l on by a young man appa.ently between 113 and 20 years of are, about tive feet six incthes in height, slender made, of pale complexion, anut the appenrance of a Jewv. A few days ago, he with a horse and chaise waited on a Mr. Newsom, a watchnmaker and silversrnith, at Edmonton, and after inquiring if be would purchase old 8ilver, he then produced a quantity ol old coin, ob*erving at the time, that if they were not so severely rubbed, he- could get a large suTm of nmoney for them at the British Museumr that afriend of his had undertaken the excavation of sone earth, and at a considerable distance had been so fortunate as to discover a large quantity of such coin as he then produced. Air. Newsom purchased 20 ounces, at Ss. per ounce; and a' neighbour of his purchase! ten pounds' worth at the same price. From the statemestts of different tradesmen in that branch, it is thought this Same has been plaYed off to the extent of between six and seven nundred pounds- The coin so sold is proved to be a composition be- tween pewter and zinc; and it is thought, after first obtaining an impression from old coins, through the instrumentality of plaster. of-paris, that they are afterwards put iMto a pickle, prepared for the urposeof snaking themn look black, or to gnve them the appearance. of having lain in the earth for a considerable timne. rrformations to the foregoing facts have been received at Worship-street police-office.
