the　accomplished　writer；　and　we　have　only　just　learned　his　fate。
  We　are　happy　to　state　that　it　is　a　comfortable　and　almost　a
  prosperous　one。
  The　Honorable　and　Right　Reverend　Lionel　Thistlewood；　Lord　Bishop　of
  Bullocksmithy；　was　mentioned　as　the　uncle　of　Lady　Angelina
  Silvertop。　　Her　elopement　with　her　cousin　caused　deep　emotion　to
  the　venerable　prelate：　he　returned　to　the　palace　at　Bullocksmithy；
  of　which　he　had　been　for　thirty　years　the　episcopal　ornament；　and
  where　he　married　three　wives；　who　lie　buried　in　his　Cathedral
  Church　of　St。　Boniface；　Bullocksmithy。
  The　admirable　man　has　rejoined　those　whom　he　loved。　　As　he　was
  preparing　a　charge　to　his　clergy　in　his　study　after　dinner；　the
  Lord　Bishop　fell　suddenly　down　in　a　fit　of　apoplexy；　his　butler；
  bringing　in　his　accustomed　dish　of　devilled　kidneys　for　supper；
  discovered　the　venerable　form　extended　on　the　Turkey　carpet　with　a
  glass　of　Madeira　in　his　hand；　but　life　was　extinct：　and　surgical
  aid　was　therefore　not　particularly　useful。
  All　the　late　prelate's　wives　had　fortunes；　which　the　admirable　man
  increased　by　thrift；　the　judicious　sale　of　leases　which　fell　in
  during　his　episcopacy；　&c。　　He　left　three　hundred　thousand　pounds
  divided　between　his　nephew　and　niecenot　a　greater　sum　than　has
  been　left　by　several　deceased　Irish　prelates。
  What　Lord　Southdown　has　done　with　his　share　we　are　not　called　upon
  to　state。　　He　has　composed　an　epitaph　to　the　Martyr　of　Bullocksmithy；
  which　does　him　infinite　credit。　　But　we　are　happy　to　state　that　Lady
  Angelina　Silvertop　presented　five　hundred　pounds　to　her　faithful　and
  affectionate　servant；　Mary　Ann　Hoggins；　on　her　marriage　with　Mr。
  James　Plush；　to　whom　her　Ladyship　also　made　a　handsome　present
  namely；　the　lease；　good…will；　and　fixtures　of　the　〃Wheel　of　Fortune〃
  public…house；　near　Shepherd's　Market；　May　Fair：　a　house　greatly
  frequented　by　all　the　nobility's　footmen；　doing　a　genteel　stroke　of
  business　in　the　neighborhood；　and　where；　as　we　have　heard；　the
  〃Butlers'　Club〃　is　held。
  Here　Mr。　Plush　lives　happy　in　a　blooming　and　interesting　wife：
  reconciled　to　a　middle　sphere　of　life；　as　he　was　to　a　humbler
  and　a　higher　one　before。　　He　has　shaved　off　his　whiskers；　and
  accommodates　himself　to　an　apron　with　perfect　good　humor。　　A
  gentleman　connected　with　this　establishment　dined　at　the　〃Wheel　of
  Fortune〃　the　other　day；　and　collected　the　above　particulars。　　Mr。
  Plush　blushed　rather；　as　he　brought　in　the　first　dish；　and　told　his
  story　very　modestly　over　a　pint　of　excellent　port。　　He　had　only　one
  thing　in　life　to　complain　of；　he　saidthat　a　witless　version　of
  his　adventures　had　been　produced　at　the　Princess's　theatre；
  〃without　with　your　leaf　or　by　your　leaf；〃　as　he　expressed　it。　　〃Has
  for　the　rest；〃　the　worthy　fellow　said；　〃I'm　appypraps　betwixt　you
  and　me　I'm　in　my　proper　spear。　　I　enjy　my　glass　of　beer　or　port
  （with　your　elth　&　my　suvvice　to　you；　sir；）　quite　as　much　as　my
