all extremes were avoided ; that 

 he discouraged pilgrimages, &c. 

 It appears also that he protected 

 a professor who had distinguished 

 himself by his skill in liberal 

 learning, after a mandate had 

 been issued against him by the 

 Pope, on the ground that he had 

 ascertained the accusations in the 

 mandate to be unfounded. 



The Bishop is supported by all 

 the clergy of his extensive 

 diocese, and indeed by nearly all 

 the clergy of Catholic Germany. 

 Among the Lay Catholics there 

 is but one opinion concerning 

 him. 



Spring Guns. — Yesterday morn- 

 ing died, Charles Grant, Esq., an 

 eminent Russian broker, of Globe- 

 road, Mile-end. On Sunday 

 se'nnight, about 10 at night, he 

 took his usual walk round his 

 ground, previous to retiring to 

 rest. Not being aware his ser- 

 vants had set the spring -gun 

 which had recently been placed 

 there, in consequence of the 

 numerous depredations com- 

 mitted, he trod upon the wire, 

 and received 5 slugs in the back 

 part of his thigh. Sir W. Bhzard 

 extracted the slugs, and faint 

 hopes were entertained of his 

 recovery until Saturday night, 

 the fifth, when a mortification 

 ensued and terminated his ex- 

 istence. He has left a wife and 

 two children. 



7. Dover — Thoir Royal High- 

 nesses the Duke and Duchess of 

 Kent, and suite, arrived here 

 yesterday evening at 6 o'clock, 

 and upon alighting immediately 

 embarked on board the Royal 

 Sovereign yacht, lying in the 

 harbour, under a salute from the 

 guns at the heights, the yards 

 ■of the yacht being manned, and 



a guard of honour dra^vn up along 

 the quaj\ 



8. Brighton. — The long con- 

 tinuance of a calm sea has 

 enabled our fishermen to make a 

 more accurate survey of the beds 

 of oysters discovered off this 

 coast about 2 years ago. From 

 repeated trawlings they have cal- 

 culated, that for an extent of 70 

 miles S. E. and S. W. this body 

 of shell fish lie in prodigious 

 quantities. The shortest breadth 

 is seven miles. The oysters caught 

 to the S. W. are of excellent fla- 

 vour; several speculators have 

 examined the line of coast, in 

 order to find a spot for forming 

 oyster beds. Shoreham-harbour 

 is mentioned as a most desirable 

 spot, as the bed of the river con- 

 sists of a fine black sand. From 

 the facility of carriage-conveyance 

 to the metropolis, it is likely that 

 this new source of trade will 

 enable the proprietors to supply 

 a vast proportion of the con- 

 sumption of oysters in the Lon- 

 don market in the course of 

 another year.

 15. Manchester. — With the ex- 

 ception of a very few persons, we 

 believe the spinners are once 

 more following their respective 

 employments ; the mills now be- 

 ing in full motion. After so 

 long an absence from all profit- 

 able employment, the workmen 

 are convinced that they have 

 neither the right nor the power 

 to dictate, as a body, to their 

 employers ; and the latter, we 

 fully believe, are sincerely dis- 

 posed,
