Sir B. Bnslie contradicts the paragraph which ap-
peared in the Medical Circular, stating that the
operation for Sir Benjamin's recovery of sight had
been unsuccessful. "The statement," writes the
distinguished baronet, "is wholly inaccurate ; the
writer of it having evidently been altogether misin-
formed, both as to my present condition, and, as I
believe, as to my future prospecta.

night and Thursday morning was not without its
effects in this city, although these effects were hap-

north porch of the Cathedral was blown oil, and in

blown down in the Close, causing damage to the
wire fencing. At West Harnhaiu one or two
houses were stripped and otherwise injured, and

suffered considerably.

played dcring the proceedings by the Temperance
drum and life band.

afraid he should not be able to pay his way. He
had an apipletic attack about two years ago, from
