GEORGE : ROSE, erected about eight feet from the pavement of the Church, in an ele gant gothic arCh at the west-end •of the Countess of Salisbury's Chapel. The Inscription is , in let ters of cast brass, projecting from the surface of a dark-grey slab of marble t—. In the Vault beneath are deposited The Mortal Remains of THE RIGHT HONOURABLE GEORGE ROSE, One of the Committee of his Majesty's Connell for affairs of Trade troll Foreipt Plantations; TREASURER OF THE NAVY; And in Six Successive Parliaments, One of the Representatives of this Borough, •Who on the tat!) of January, ISIS, In the 74ili year of Isis age, In the Faith of Christ,_ -- And in Charity with all Mankind, Concluded a Life, 'the whale of which Was the continued and strtunotts effort Of Alf ardent and powerful wind To promote the welfare of the State, Airdllre happiness of - his Yellow•creatures. VIATOR. We cannot suffer the name of the late Mr. Rose to pass without paying a- tribute of sincere respect to his memory. Ile attained a high station by his talents, and which he justly deserved by solid services. lie was a souud and experienced Statesman. a true Patriot, and an able co-ad , jutor with Mr. PITT, who knew how to estimate his value, and by whom he was confidentially trusted on matters of the utmost importance to the Country.— Heartily do we wish that just such a man were now connected with the- Government of the Country, and never, we sincerely believe, was such a man more necessary than at the present critical, and we may perhaps truly say, alarming period. SIR THOMAS PICTON.—The Monument to the memory of this distinguished and gallant Officer has just been completed. It is erected on the north side of the great dome of the Cathedral Church of St. Pant. On a pedestal of beautiful white marble, is a finely executed bust of the gallant General, which is admitted by till who knew him to be an admirable likeness. On the left is the figure of a veteran soldier, as large as life, exuNnn in the ever memorable success of the British Army on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of June, in the year 1815, while his countenance at the same time shows his anguish of heart for t he loss of this brave Officer. On the right, Bri tannia, holding a palm of victory in her right hand, points out the Hero to the spectator as a proper object of imitation, while Fame is about to crown him with a wreath of laurel. The-mo nument is admirably executed, and does infinite creditito the talents of Mr. GAIIAGAN. PuBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. —Among other public improvements and alterations, that of widening and improving the turnpike-road, and the ereo, tion of a new bridge,. of adequate width, across the River Wandle, in the centre of the town of Wandsworth, appears to be of great utility. On the 15th instant, a Committee of Trustees of the Surrey and Sussex. Roads, appointed to carry such improvement and alteration into effect, met at Wandsworth, when the first stone of a hand some new bridge, intended to be upwards of forty feet wide, was laid - with-the usual ceremony, by GI ARLES NICHOLA3 PILLMER, Esq. Chairman, in the presence of the Rev. U. 11. BuTcnixn, Vicar of WandswopthGroncr.TarroN, lIENIIY JAMES' BARCHARD, T/iOMAS BENNETT SMITII,. GEORGE HARRISON, SAMUEL FOSSICK, and CELAULES FRANCIS, Esqrs., Members' of the Committee. . Towards the expence of erecting this bridge, we understand, the inhabitants of Wandsworth send the neighbourhood, contributed liberally by a pri. vate subscriptiou. • HOP INTLI.LIGF.NCE. SOUTHWARK, SEPT. 18.—We imagine there has been about 800 Pockets of mew.• Hops in the Borough, but we have only a dull trade for them at present, The samples in general are very inferior ; such as are fine go off tolerably well s bat there is a very small proportion of this de scription.—The Duty is at 8`2,0006. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 19.--By accounts from va. rious parts of Kent and Sussex we learn, that all blighted grounds are going off daily with mold, and losing sap, and colour very fast ; even the best•grounds do not look so well as ten days since. A great portion of the growth will make bad samples, owing to the blights, mold, &c. The hop-picking is now become general, and it proves, as it always has done in such years, that the crop in picking is full a third less than what was expected. It is thought Sussex will pay half the Duty of the kingdom. C O RN-JEICLIINGE, SEPT: o.—Notwithstand lug we have had no fresh arrivals of Wheat since Monday, yet what remained over from that day's market was fully adequate, to the demand, and prices are rather heavy, but nominally the same ; although we continue to receive large supplies of Oats, the trade was exceedingly lively this morn lug. and tine _fresh Corn sold freely - at Monday's prices.; in Barley, Beans, Peas, and ,other articles there is tittle or no variation. Filberts are, this autumn, uncommonly scarce, anti the London markets are chiefly supplied with them from the vicinity of Maidstone, in Kent, where it is said there is this year a more productive crop of those nuts than in all England besides. Seven hundred acres of land, in the neighbour hood of that town have been planted with filbert tree's in the course of the last six or seven years, and have proved highly beneficial to the planters. A germaine apple was gathered a few days ago in the garden of a gentleman in the city of Hereford, which measured twelve inches round.

WELSH BARD: The Eisteddfod, or Congress of Bards, held at Wrexham last week, .under the auspices of the. Cytnmrodorion, in Powys, surpassed the most sanguine expectations of.the Society: On Wed nesday morning the bells rung a merry peal, and the company poured into town from all quarters. About eleven the Town-Hall was crowded with beauty .and fashion, and the arrival of the Pre sident, Sir W, W. Wynn, was shortly announced by sound of trumpets. The 'object of the meet ing having been stated by Sir WATKIN, tkie Rev. WALTER DAVIES, M. A. Rector of Manafon, ad- dressed the meeting in a very impressive , nanner, observing, that the end and purpose of an Eis teddfod (or. Congress of Bards) was, " remem brance of the past, consideration of what is, and judgment of what should be in future." Also to recover the relicts of departed genius, and to foster the living merit of the. Principality. The Bards were then desired to recite any verses which they might have composed on the occa sion, when many a simple rustic stood up, and not only delighted the company, but astonished them. There were no less than 80 compositions sent in on the ,various subjects proposed. The first, " Pa bells pw awes, ''—what is poetical genius ? . —was won by ORI I , FIJD JAMES. a Welsh harper at Oxford. The second, 4. Ilireath Clynaro,"—the longing of a Welsh man for his native mountains—was won by EVAN EVANS, of Trevriw. in Caernarvonshire, a very young man, who being present was requested to read the ode. The third and grand prize, viz. " Marivolaeth Sior I.ll."—the death of GEotick: 111—was awarded to ROBERT DAVIES of Nantglyn, Denbighshire, who was placed in the bardic chair (provided fur the oceasicm, • and made of old oak), front whence he read the elegy, and drew tears front many a bright eye : an elegant silver iiieital was then put round his neck, with • air appropriate speech, by Mr. WALTER DAV mt. The prentioms for two English' Essays, the first •on The notices of Britain in ancient authors," were won-by the Rev. J. W. Rees, Rsctor of - Cosceb, Radnorshire; and the second, on "The History and Character of Arthur," by the Rev. J. HUGHES, of Beer .41. There were several other compositions of great merit on the same subjects, particular ly by the Rev. E. Hunnes, of }Mary; Tilos. JoNes, of Li verpool; the late Rev. E. JoNes, of Denbigh; and Mr. THOS. dom.:a, of Long-acre, London. 'the lotto-Gentleman - wrote also an excellent Oder in English, on the occasion, which was read by the Rev, J. W. Rees. In the evening a Concert was gicenat the Assembly Rooms, which guile enchanted a crowded .audience. The Vocal Compositions were beautifully executed by Mr. CousoN, Miss HALL, Mr. PARRY, Master CLOUGH, and Mr. C. SMITH. But what delighted the audience greatest was - the !straing, with the Welsh harps, after the manner of the Ancient Bri tons, by the Dafigeiniaid (or Cantbro Vocalists). Mr. PA KRY sung sonic English stanzas, in imitation, to give strangers an idea of the subject and effect, which gave the greatest satin- faction. On Wednesday the Competition for the Silver Harp toot place in the lown Hall, Ten harpers sent in their names, but the contest was be tween RICII?.R1) ROBERTS, of Caernarvon, and B. CUNNAR, of Rhunfoit, and after three exhibitions, the former was declar ed the victor. to the general satisfaction of the company, for he was both blind and lame. He performed Sweet Richard, with Pastar's variations, .in a very masterly manner. The singers were next called, to sing the IVelsh Pennillion:(id stanzas) with the harp, for a prize medal, when Lewis Maent , wrog was declared the best. The whole proved highly in teresting, and several Gentlemen addressed tLe Meeting, '4:- commending those who lowed the land that gave them births (and who does not ?) to pi - Ginnie the frequency of the Con gress, as it would tend to rescue from oblivion the relics of our ancient bards. In the evening a Concert. took place, consisting chiefly of Welsh melodies, with English words, arranged for the ucca lion by Mr. PARRY. The room was' completely filled, long before eight o 'clocic, and the whole performance was received with enthusiasm, many declaring they had never before known the heanty ci their native melodies, which Were sung after the manlier of their forefathers. On Friday morning the 'Committee met, to grant gratuities he. &z. to bards and minstrels—CHAßLES W. W. WYNN, Esq, M P., in the Chair, when many Resolutions were passed, and thanks voted, he. A Silver Cup of the value of fifteen g uineas, was voted to Mr. PA IRRY, for his zeal in the cause, end his groat exertions its the management of the Congress. The next meeting is to be at Caernarvon. BLit it is rumour ed that an Eigteddfad will be held in London, under the Pa tronage of the Cytuntrodorion, or Cambrian Society-.-his MA- JcsTY Patron. Such a meeting must prove highly interesting both for its novelty and nationality. The meetings at the Town Hall - and Commas in the evening closed by all the Harpers playing, and the company singing " God gave the King'," the first day in English, and the second in Welsh. The following stanza's .by Mr. IA'RRY were highly applauded : Olt ! God, protect the Throne, • Anti mate the cause thine own, - Of GgoaciE our King; May he thy laws maintain Glorious, yet mildly teign, . And long on earth remain, Gud save the King. • Long may old Cambria share * • His love and royal care,. God bless th.e King; • • - May he attune the lyve, And every bard inspire, . , • To sing with soul of fire, - * God save.the King. • • To conclude the week's festivities, Sir W. W. WYNN held his annual Agricultural Meeting on Friday, at Wynnstay, when a grand dinner was given to-ZOO people. inrn // A —Cymru fy dd. THE ARMY. COURT MARTIAL.

He also stated, that it was the desire of the Court that no part of the evidence should be published until the case was concluded on both sides. In obe dience to that desire we refrain from publishing the further proceeding 'at present, but when the' trial is over we shall give. a•full account of it. The Court adjourned a few minutes before. four o'clock until one o'clock to-morrow, -as we understood. About two o'clock a stone wa-s thrown from the Park at the window in the room where the. Court was sitting ; it came with such.force that.. it went through a - pane at .crown glass, leaving, no other fracture in the- glass than 'the aperture,. it passed through. It fell in the middle of the room, and was immediately picked up by one of ,the -messengers of the office. The business of the Court was not disturbed, as the Gallant Offi-.. cers who formed it never moved from their seats_:.. some of the spectators in the room did not treat.. it so lightly—they. made a precipitate retreat., The fellow who threw the stone was, secured, and taken to Queen-square Police -office.- It ap7 ifears that he is insane ; he is a thiu,'lnan, about'. • five feet nine inches in height, dressed .in a darlc i , coat, and his appeatrauce,denetes that he has seen , better days.
