BUCHAREST, OCt. 25, The following proclamation of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern to the Roumanians has been officially published : " Routnans,—The patriotism you have displayed in the most brilliant manner in all the principal epochs of your history has preserved to you unin jured the sacred inheritance of your forefathers, the Roumanian fatherland. Recently again this patriot ism of yours enabled you to understand the true in terests of your country, and moved you unani mously to proclaim the hereditary character of your throne and a constitutional form of Government. By this means you have connected freedom with stability, and secured a rapid and uninterrupted development of all vital elements of the land. " Roumans,—Your fervent wishes are now ful filled. Your elected Sovereign has received the official intelligence that he has been recognised by the Sublime Porte, and the other Powers will also doubtless no longer delay to recognise the work of your endurance and moderation. I remark with joy that the Sublime Porte, while admitting the sincerity of your intentions and the calmness of your attitude, sees, at the same time, in your national strength and the maintenance of the relations which draw us near to it, a powerful guaran tcc of oidox and istltbility. The ohjoct of my journey to Constantinople is personally to assure his Majesty the Sultan of the high regard we shall always entertain for the treaties that have settled our relations to Turkey, as well as to receive from his Majesty on the other band the assurance of his sincerest goodwill for the prosperity and the rights of Roumania. I depart with full security in the future, for I know that your blessings will follow me everywhere. I leave behind with you my memory and all my household. You have sum moned me to be your Sovereign, and, as the voice of the people is the voice of God, I cherish the fullest hope that the Almighty will support me in the en deavours I shall never be tired of uniting with yours to promote the progress and the increase o" our country.

The cordial welcome which has been extended to the Irish sportsmen we have introduced into our gallery has induced us to add to the series the above nobleman, who may be said to inherit that passion for hunting, and sport of every description, which has descended to him from the 'louse of Clanricardo, from whence he springs. Lord Naas is the eldest son and heir apparent to the Earl of Mayo, and was born on Feb. 21, 1822. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he took his degree. In 1847 he entered Par liament as the representative for, Kildare, and sat for that county until 1852, when he vacated his seat, and was shortly after returned for Cockermouth, a borough in the patronage of Lord Leconfield, whose daughter he married in 1848. From his extreme aptitude for business and con ciliatory manners, which are so much required of a Chief Secretary for Ireland, Lord Derby appointed him to fill that office during his Administration of 1852 and 1858, and on his recent accession to power he returned to it. But it is as a sportsman that Lord Naas claims most at tention from us; and although he is only known in the Shires, in England; as the hardest welter-weight rider that ever crossed St. George's Channel, on the other side he has long taken up a conspicuous position as a master of hounds and the founder of the Palmerstown Breeding Association for Improving the Breed of Horses in Ire land. Lord Naas first became an M.F. El. in the year 1857, when he took the Kildare Hounds, which he hunted with Stephen Goodall. The country, which was an en tirely artificial ono, was in bad odour, but his lordship, setting to work with his wonted determination, got up 33 new gorse covers. Foxes, therefore, soon became plentiful, and the seasons of 1859 and 1860 were as good as ever was seen in the country. The fields were large, and composed of the hardest-riding set of men in the world, such as Curragh jocks, steeplechase riders, despe rate cornets and ensigns fresh from the garrisons of Dublin, Newbridgo, and the Curragh. The hounds, therefore, got very little chance, but still, so good is the scent on the splen did grass land, and so stiff is the country, that very frequently they wont clear away from all of them. It was with these hounds Lord Naas had that memorable run called the Great Lara Run, in November, 1859, when a fox was found at Lara, near Maynooth, at twelve' o'clock, %and killed at two, at S wainstown, in the county of Meath, a distance of 19 miles by the Ordnance Map. And the nature of the country may be guessed when we state that Goodall, for the last hour, never crossed a single ploughed field. Lord Naas bred generally from the Bel voir, Foljambe, and Brocklesly blood ; and with 37 couple hunted the country from three to four days a week ; and, as it was 40 miles long and 20 wide, and extends from the grass lands of Meath to the wild furze hills at the base of the Wicklow mountains, for a man over 17 stone to be constantly at the tail of them, must indicate the possession of good nerve, good knowledge of the sport v and the best of cattle. But Lord Naas's interest was not confined to hunting ; for, as we have said before, he is the founder of the association for improving the breed of thorough-bred horses in Ireland ; and, being associated with some of the head Irish nobility, ho has started an establishment which needs but to be seen to dispel the existing prejudice in many Englishmen's minds, that they do things anyhow in Ireland. Rapid Rhone, kindly lent by the Earl of Glas gow, was one of their first sires ; and Plum Pudding is also stationed there. And the first sale of the Palinerstown yearlings was so far successful that the undertaking pro mises to be as profitable to its promoters as beneficial to Ireland. In private life Lord Naas exhibits all the best qualities of an Irish nobleman, which is a passport to popu larityis all civilised countrio.—Balkis Naga4j4c. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, ISM LAW INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER• :sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury). NEWTON V. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action for assault by the defendant's ser vants. Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and another learned gentleman for the defend ants. The facts of the case wore developed in the following evidence. Mr. James Newton said he was plaintiff in this case. He was a potato merchant, and had the Rose of Denmark public-house on the Barking-road and the mail-coach pub lic-houso in Farringdon-street. On the 19th of June last he was returning front North Woolwich by the last train. He had a return ticket, which he took at the Feachurch station, the half of which ho now producod, and for which, b,:ing a second class, he paid sixpenco. When he arrived at Stratford-bridge station the ticket-collector came to the carriage and asked him for his ticket. Ire felt in his poc ket, but he could not immediately find his ticket, and he told the collector that ho could not get it at once, although he knew he had it in his pocket. The collector said to hint that he must either find his ticket or come out. He did not feel disposed to got out of the carriage as he would have had to walk six miles to his own place, it being the only train for that night, and he told the collector that if ho could not find the ticket he would pay his fare at the Shoreditch station. The collector still insisted ou his coming out of the carriage, and he gave him his name, and s aid he was landlord of the Mail Coach in Farringdon street. The collector then got into the carriage to pull him out, ho (witness) being at the time sitting near the further door. Finding ho could not drag witness out, ho called some other persons, and two or threo officers of the company entered the carriage and began pulling him out• The collector said, " Out you come, out you come." Ono of the men also went to the outside of the carriage and at tempted to loose his hand. Finding he could not get him out he gave his nose a wring and made his eyes water (Laughter.) Mr. Joyce—That is the narrow gauge, I suppose. Witness—His nose bled v er y m uch, and a gentleman in the carriage gave him his handkerchief, which became as wet with blood from his nose as if it had been dipped in water. The men pulled him very much about, and from the state of his clothes, although not torn, he looked more like a beggar than a gentleman. He suffered much for a fortnight and the next morning his arms from the wrists upwards were black. In cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, wit ness said he showed his arm to one of his witnesses, Mr. Sutton. He knew only the latter gentleman, although there were two others in the carriage, and he was not a friend. Ho believed that one of the gentlemen paid his fare, and if one of them had not interfered ho believed that his arms would have been torn out of their sockets. Sergeant Ballantine—You would have come out in pieces. (Laughter.) Witness—He did not remember saying that if ho did not pay his fare he must give him his name and address ; and to the best of his belief he did not. He certainly did not say he would "see him first." Mr. Peter Sutton, a builder, Barking-road, said that ho was in the carriage on the night in question, and corrobo rated the statement of the plaintiff as to what occurred at the Stratford-bridge station. As the case was proceeding an arrangement was entered into between the parties, by which a verdict was taken for the plaintiff for 40s. and the costs. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) DUNN V. DUNN. This was a petition for probate of the will of Miss Mary Dunn. There was an opposition raised on the ground that there had been a re-execution of the will now sought to bo proved some time after it bad been made. The witnesses having stated the circumstances under which the will was made, His Lordship said it was rather a remarkable case. A lady having made a perfectly good will in the year 1837, and it had not been proved that she was at all displeased with it, she kept it by her till 1861, when it was contended that a re -execution of it took place, and that one of the two attesting witnesses who was sole legatee had forfeited his interest in the will, in consequence of his being one of the witnesses to the execution of the will. Such a contention would be very hard, but ho for bore to enter into that part of the matter. Tho material question for the Court to deal with was whether that which took place on the 20th of May, 1861, was in fact a re-execution of the will. There were two signatures on the document as well as that of the tes tatrix. The plaintiff's was one ; and it appeared that the name was not written in the usual place for the attesting witnesses, but under that of the testatrix, with the word "executor" after it. It did not appear to the Court that that signature could be called the sigxature of an attesting witness ; and, indeed, the witnesses that had been examined proved clearly that such was not the case. The petitioner had given his version of the matter, and another person, au independent witness, who had no interest whatever in the matter, said that when he went into the room on the 20th of May, 1861, the testatrix said she was anxious to hand overher will and title deeds to her nephew and she did not wish to do so without witnesses. She did not tollthem she wished them to witness the signing of a will as attesting witnesses, and after the will had been handed over all the witnesses left the room. Ile was of opinion, therefore, that the matter, which took place on the 20th of May, was not a re-execution of the will, and that, there fore, the will propounded by the plaintiff was entitled to praate. Ho did not think it was a case in which the costs of the cause should come out of the estate. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE DR. WEBBER. This bankrupt, who was a surgeon, of Tunbridge-wells, and whose case has been before the court recently on many occasions, came up to-d a y t o pass his last examination, and for the order of dis c h arge. I t w ill be remembered that some time ago Dr. W e bb er cause d c onsiderable consterna tion amongst the inhabitants of Tunbridge-wells, by a sensational paragraph which he wrote, or was alleged to have written, as to the sanitary condition of the town. A great deal of excitement prevailed at the time, and at length this culminated in a riot. Some action at law en sued, and finally a petition was filed in this court. This morning the bankrupt was examined at great length by Mr. Reed, for the assignees, upon the figures in the balance sheet, his Honour remarking that many of the questions were irrelevant, and simply led to a waste of time, and the case was ultimately adjourned. MARKETS.---This Day. - - 4- -- MARK ',ANN The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market, to-day, from Essex and K en t , was very moderate, and in but middling conditi on . O w i ng to the limited attendance of millers, the amount o f b us iness concluded was by no means extensive. Sel ec t e d parcels ' however, were dis posed of at full quotations ; but, for inferior sorts, the trade was dull, at Monday's decline. There was a fair show of foreign wheat. Tho transac tions wore chiefly in retail, but the value of fine qualities was well supported. Other kinds unaltered. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at about previous quotations. Fine barley was scarce and quite as dear. Grinding and distilling sorts met a slow sale at the late decline. Malt was firm in price, with a moderate demand. In oats sales progressed slowly, and the value of inferior ports had a drooping tendency. Beans and peas changed hands to a moderate extent at full currencies. The flour trade ruled quiet on former terms. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 310 1,120 450 90 390 Irish Foreign BO 3,240 2,880 1,330 sits. 1,330 kis.

A USEFUL CAUTION.—Mr. Tyrwhitt handed the follow ing letter and enclosure to the reporters this morning : " Nov. 6. " Sir,—l beg to call your attention to a circular con taining a Caution to Householders,'l requesting them to have the area gates locked at dark, and not unlocked until nine in the morning. This last named is a very important precaution, as thieves are abOut early as well as late. If you will kindly place the notice in the hands of the re porters, the publicity which they will, no doubt, afford the matter will be of great use now families are return ing to town. As for area gates they are constantly wide open, but the question suggests itself—What aro they for ? They might just as well be off the hinges for the use they are. It s is a very dangerous practice to leave them open, as children and infirm persons are apt to fall down the steps.—Yours, &c. " PRECAUTION." The following is the " noti,co" alluded to : "AREA THIEVES. CAUTION TO HOUSEHOLDERS.—Heads of families are respectfully requested to assist in suppres ing a pernicious system, by deciding to have their door gates henceforth kept locked from dusk in the evening till 9 o'clock in the morning." CurEL CASE or DESERTION.—George Hall, cab driver, badge 1,129, was brought Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant for neglecting to maintain his wife and two children, Mary, aged three years, and John, aged four months. _ _ Mr. George Badderley, assistant overseer of the St. George's, Hanover-square, district, said that about six weeks ago the wife and two children of the prisoner were admitted into the workhouse in a wretched state, and he regretted to say that one of the children, the youngest, died on Monday last, and that the wife was very ill. It was a very bad case, the prisoner having deserted his wife and family to cohabit with a girl. The prisoner had nothing to say. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had deserted his wife, and left her desolate, to cohabit with a girl. His conduct was cruel and disgraceful, and he would be committed for a month with hard labour. CRUELLY FLOGGING A CAB HORSE.-Arthur James Creasy, a cab driver, wearing the badge 12,795, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt on the complaint of Mr. William Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for cruelly illtreating a horse. Dr. Berry King, of Stone, Staffordshire, but staying at No. 41, Maddox street, Hanover-square, deposed that on the 24th ult. he was in Regent-street, when he saw the defendant driving a horse attached to a cab. The horse was in a very bad condition, and the defendant was gallop ing it as fast as he could, flogging it most unmercifully, and changing the whip from hand to hand, all the way from Conduit-street to Ann-street. The defendant had no excuse for his conduct, as there was no one in the cab at the time. He (Dr. King) was aware that cabmen generally treated their horses well, but there were some who acted in a very different manner, and actually forgot that their horses were a means of supporting them. The defendant denied illusing his horse, and called a constable named Hutton as a witness, but the constable stated that although he was walking down Regent-street he lost sight of the defendant from Conduit-street to Air street. Mr. Tyrwhitt having remarked that there was a class of cabmen who did not know whether they were illusing a horse or not, fined the defendant 10s. or seven days. SHARE MARKETS,--This Day.

THE SECRETARY TO THE ROYAL Ac xDEMY.—Mr. J. P. Knight, R.A., we are sorry to learn, has owing to ill health, and it is said, the fatigue attendant on his duties, resigned his duties. Possibly this resignation will be but temporary, and terminate on Mr. Knight's hoped-for recovery of health. BOROUGH. HOP.

I moan shooing. I once remember seeing a cele brated steeplechase horse lying dead with a broken back on the off-side of a fence, and upon looking at his feet I saw the off-shoo torn off, and ono of the heels of the near shoe coming so much beyond the heel of the foot that it might have been easily taken hold of by the hind foot in jumping, particularly by a horse who brings his hind legs well under him. lat once saw the cause of the death of this splendid animal ; and it is wonderful to me that all hunting men do not see that the shoes do not come at all beyond the heels of the foro feet, and aro sloped off on the ground-surface for the last inch, so as to come to only about half the thickness of the rest of the shoe at the ex treme point of the heel, when, if the hind shoes aro sot a little short of the toes of the feet, it is impossible for any fore shoe to be pulled off as long as the nails are all tight. By these simple precautions numberless bad accidents would be proyouted botli to home and luau. THAMES. Fungous DRlVlNG.—Frederick Prole, a green grocer, of No. 6, Market-place, Wandsworth, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with furiously driving his horse and cart this morning, at half-past one o'clock, in High-street, W hi techapel. The prisoner was intoxicated and driving at a reckless pace. He ran into a cab and broke the back pannel. The driver of the cab seized the prisoner's horse and attempted to stop him. The prisoner made a blow at the cabman with the butt end of his whip, but it was parried. The prisoner was then given into custody. He urged in his defence that he was upon the cab before he was aware of it. _ . Mr Paget said the prisoner had endangered people's lives by his furious driving, and fined him 405., which was paid. The cabman was left to his remedy by action. FOWL STEALING.-Six wretched -looking boys, named George Patmore, Thomas Cooper, George Walker, Edward Sargeant, Charles Barrett, and William Boland, were brought up on remand before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing five fowls from a fowl-house in the garden of Charles Jones, Victory Cottage, Bromley, Middlesex. George Smith, cowkeeper and dairyman, of Catherine street, Limohouse-fields, was charged with feloniously re ceiving two of the fowls, he well knowing them to be stolou. The case against the boys was complete, and three of the stolen fowls were found on two of them. Boland, one of the prisoners, said that two of the fowls were sold to Smith in his cow-barn, and he was confirmed on oath by two other boys accomplices. The fowls were not found on the premises of Smith, and the evidence of the boys received no corroboration whatever. Mr. Stoddart, soli citor, who defended Smith, said he was a man of un blemished character, and there were persons who had known him from 13 to 20 years in attendance to speak iu his favour. Mr. Paget would give no opinion on the case of the cowkeeper Smith, but as the evidence of the accomplices was not confirmed he should discharge him. He sentenced the boys, who were all under 14 years of age, to one months' imprisonment and hard labour. The learned magistrate threw a letter from him which had been handed to him through Mr. Stoddart and Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, by Smith's wife, and said it was highly improper to send written communications to any magistrate or judge re specting a case to come before them. The communication was a most improper one. Mr. Stoddart —lt was handed to you by Mr. Pyor. Mr. Pyer—lt was put into my hand by you, sir, and seeing it addressed to the magistrate, I gave it to him. Mr: Paget said Mr. Pyer was quite blameless in the matter. Mr. Stoddart—l have been 40 years in the profession and should be very sorry to do anything irregular. Mr. Paget—A lawyer of your experience, Mr. Stoddart, should have ascertained what the letter contained before it was handed to the bench. You should have asked ycur client's wife what it was about. Ignorant persons, who don't know any better, often send in their communications to a judge or a magistrate, and it is most decidedly impro per ; but for a gentleman of your experience to do so is doubly flagrant. Mr. Stoddart did not know the contents of the letter. Mr. Paget—l believe you did not. WESTMINSTER. ATTEMPTED ROBAERY WITH VIOLENCE.—WiIIiam Sum mers, well known as the companion of a gang of thieves infesting Lower North-street, Chelsea, was charged with assaulting John Graham, and attempting to steal his scarf pin. John Graham, a waiter, said—This, morning, shortly after one o'clock, he was in Knightsbridge with a friend or two, when the prisoner came up with an associate and molested him. He walked away rapidly, but prisoner fol lowed and tripped him up ; as he rose from the ground prisoner made a snatch at his scarf pin, and half pulled it out ; he put up his hand to save it, when prisoner, seeing him defenceless, struck him in the nose and knocked him down. The prisoner's companion then seized him by the back of the neck, and held him while they further assaulted him. They then ran away, but were followed, and the prisoner was taken near a public-house where he and his gang take shelter at when pursued. Arthur Poole, a stableman, corroborated. William M‘Gettugan, a police constable, proved seeing the prisoner loitering, and watched him. He shortly after wards received information of the robbery, and appre hended prisoner, who made a desperate resistance, and used very bad language. Prisoner denied the charge, and said he had no intention to rob the complainant, who assaulted him first. Mr. Arnold said there was not sufficient evidence to send him for trial for the felony, but he had been proved guilty of a very serious charge of assault, for which there was no provocation. He was sentenced to two months' hard labour. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. GRAVESEND, Wednesday Morning.

At an adjourn N er o T f iS th ll e Board of direc torslTS B:Rg of this company, held Thursday, in the Board-room, Edinburgh, Mr. Balfour in the chair, It was moved by Mr. J. Omt SWING and seconded by Mr. W. P. ADAM, M.P., " That the Board hav ing had under consideration the report of the com mittee of investigation, deem it proper to record that they cannot agree to the paragraphs contained in pages 11 and 22 of the report, imputiug•blam e to the directors generally, as they are not aware to what these observations apply, and do not find in the report any facts stated which justify such re marks. Further, as it appears from the report that the chairman has for years systematically in duced certain officers of the company secretly to prepare deceptive accounts, which, being docketed by the auditors, were issued by the Board to the shareholders, the conduct of the chairman so dis closed is calculated to forfeit the confidence of the public in the company, is injurious to its credit, and in its results ruinous to the interests of the share holders." It was resolved 4, 1. That it is the duty of the Board to support be committee of investigation in carrying into effect the suggestions made in their report as to their re construction of the board of direction, and sug gest to the shareholders that they should support the recommendation of the committee accordingly," Mr. CRAVEN dissented. " 2. That this resolution be communicated to the committee of investigation." It was further resolved— "That the foregoing resolutions be communicated to the shareholders, and that proxies be asked to be intrusted to the following directors to support the committee--viz., Messrs. Beaumont, Orr Ewing, Balfour, and Ronald." Mr. Hodgson, to whom a copy of the minute was sent; wrote to the secretary as follows : "I contend that there has been no falsification of accounts. What has been done was to postpone and place in suspense, until dealt with by the share holders, a portion of expenditure during a period of constant struggle of enormous propoitions, aggra vcahtaendcaenryd sprolonged which by bu t a n f unjust o d u e l f d e n have a e v to e b e t h e n e compromised on very inadequate terms, and unless the shareholders reverse their decision of Sept. 28, the transactions will be ratified by them, and th e postponed expenditure charged to capital. The na tural consequence will be that the dividends, though deferred, will be eventually paid; for I cannot be lieve that the doctrines of the committee of investi gation with respect to the balance sheet of revenue for the past half-year will be accepted. All the prin cipal items depending on the divisions of the half years into unequal periods, the interest on unpro ductive capital, the charge for deficiency in the Ed inburgh and Glasgow rolling stock, and the balances of revenue from the clearing house and the previous half-year, and allocation of parliamentary expenses, have been without dissent adopted by both directors and shareholders. With respect to the future, Iwould submit that it lies with the proprietary to choose in whom they will confide the conduct of their interests; but for myself I say without hesitation that no mere majority of votes would induce me to retain a seat at the board. Nothing but an unmistakeable expres sion of opinion on the part of the great body of shareholders that my services were needful would persuade me to encounter the difficult and, in some degree, painful task that continuance in office would impose." AQUATICS• SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO. The scullers' race between John Augustine Caffin, a waterman of the Old Swan, London-bridge, and William Sadler, a waterman's apprentice, of Putney, for £5O a side, coma off yesterday, in old-fashioned boats. Both the men are well known, Caffin having figured some seven or eight times previously in private matches, and without defeat, while Sadler (the brother of Joseph Sadler, matched with Chambers for the Championship) has never been defeated, having rowed but two private races, and won a coat and badge. There is not such a disparity in the ages of the men as thero is in their stature and weight—Caffin stand ing 6 feet 11 inches, and weighing 12st 121 b, and Sadler standing 5 feet 41 inches, and weighing 9st 121 b—their ages being about 25. Both were in good condition, but unfavourable rumours were about, and as much as 3 to 1 was laid on Caffia. Two steamers accompanied with largo parties. Mr. J. Ireland was referee, Messrs. H. Salter and G. Hammerton umpires for Caffin and Sadler respectively, while Robert Bain and Henry Kelley were pilots. Cairo won the toss, and took Middlesex, in a stiff noser and tido nearly done. He took the lead by half a length, and Sad ler, rowing very badly, was cleared at the Star and Garter, Caffin leading by three lengths at the Point and four at Hammersmith. Sadler, in fact, was never in the race, and was beaten by eight - oFteti lengths; never having perse vered. Time over 30 minutes. LONDON GAZETTE.—Last Evening. WAR-OFFICE, Nov. 6.

'rhe quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of is. 104 d. per ounce tor standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in London alid Paris. The eouree 01 exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 11.21 per cent.. and the pace of gold 148 i per cent. At these rates there is little or no profit on the importation of gold front the Unite 1 States.

One person present suggested Carlton-street (Swine -green) the scene of the noble poet's first couplet— " In Nottingham town, near to Swine-green, Lives as curst an old woman as ever was seen" — as the most appropriate place. The top of Market-street was also mentioned as a proper place for the statue. The following resolutions were unanimously carried : —l. " That it is heartily desirable that an effort should be made for collecting a national subscription with a view of erecting a memorial to Lord Byron." 2. " That it is de sirable to form a provincial committee, and that Mr. Down and Mr. Chapman be the honorary secretaries." It was then arranged to write to Lord Lytton, Lord roughton, Sir John Bowring , Lord Brougham, Mr. Charles Dickens, and other noblemen and gentlemen for support.
