Tut: LATE LORD DERBY'S MUSEL'AL—The follow-
ing letter has been addressed by the Earl of Derby to the
Mayor of Liverpool :—" Knowsley, July 4.—Sir,—lt was
the anxious wish of my dear and lamented father, as it is
my own, that the very extensive and valuable collection of
staffed birds and animals, which it was the labour of his life
to form, should not alter his death be dispersed, but rend, red
as far as possible available for the amusement and instruction
of his countrymen and neighbours. Among his private papers
I find one upon this subject, embodying an arrangement
upon which he had communicated with me, which so clearly
seta forth his views, that I cannot do better than transcribe
his own words With the anxious desire that what
I have collected during the long existence that has been
granted me may be devoted more particularly to the grati-
fication, and I would hope advantage, of the port of this
country, with which I have been more immediately con-
nected, and in which I cannot but feel a more direct in-
terest, I would desire that this museum should be placed in
the care of a body of trustees, after the model of the British
museum, to be placed iu the town or environs of Liverpool,
hoping that the public authorities there may think fit to
erect some building for its reception, which might, perhaps,
with advantage, be placed in connection with the collegiate
institution already established in that town. I f tlii: suggestion
should be adopted or favourably received, I would propose that
the Earl of Derby for the time being and one other member of
my family should be trustees; that my personal friend Richard
Earle should also be one during his life, if he will be
pleased to accept the trust, and that the mayor of Liver-
pool and the two rectors of the town for the time being
shall be members, ex officio, on the part of the town, and
the incumbents of Knowsley and of Iluyton on the part
of the country • that the above persons shall be the first
trustees, and that they have power to add to that number,
to fill up vacancies as they shall occur, and to lay down
rules and regulations fur the isetter management and pre-
servation of the museum, and for the purpose of making
it as beneficial as possible for the amusement awl instruc-
tion of the inhabit ints of the town and neigh-
bourhood in the first place, and, next, of the public-
in
general. As it is my principal object by this arrange-
ment to keep together, in one body, the collection
which has been formed by me, and to devote it to the be-
nefit of the rising generation, I have ventured to suggest its
being annexed to the collegiate institution, as by that means
it would appear to be more directly available for the pur-
poses of instruction and reference; and I would further
add may wish that it should hear the name of its ori-
ginal founder as some memorial of the interest I have
from boyhood lilt in the study of natural history,
and my earnest wish to make that which has toward a con-
stant pleasure during my own life as far as possible conducive
to the welfare and gratification of my fellow countrymen
and neighbours.' I have only to raspiest that you will have
kindness to bring this subject under the consideration of the
council at the earliest period consistent with your own con-
venience, and to express an earnest hope on my part that
nothing in the conditions attached may interpose to pre-
vent their acceptance of an offer which to hold out no in-
considerable advantage to the population of Liverpool, and
which will place my father's extensive collection in n posi-
tion alike conducive to the gratification of his friends and
neighbours, honourable to himself, and on all accounts
gratifying to me as his representatives.—l have the honour
to be your obedient servant, DERBY. The Mayor."

TILE BISHOP OF BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER.—
Bishop Monk has so ordered his renewal of leases that, says
the Daily News, " just in proportion as his family will
profit after his decease, so will the church lose." The
bishop, with such an eye to excess, has earned an enlarged
title fur his sec. Henceforth, instead of Bishop of thou-
' rester, let all men read " Bishop of Double Gloucester."—

FIRE AT NCTSPORD VALE, NEAR MANCHESTER.
—Nutsford Vale, situated between the vill.,ges of Gorton
I and Longsight, was, on Monday, the scene of a destructive
fire, which broke out about nine o'clock in the morning on
the premises of Mr. John Scott, and destroyed a con-
siderable portion of the buildings before it could be
extinguished. 'fhc business carried on at these pre-
mises comprised silk-printing and rope-making. The
materials in the building where the tire broke out
burnt with inconceivable fury, and the heat was so
intense that the iron wheels of the machinery were
fused and run together in masses It was one o'clock be-
fore the flames could be got under, and at this time only a
small portion of the walls of the building in which the fire
commenced was left standing. The flames had swept off
the roofs of the engine-house, tar-house, dressing-rooms
(destroying in the latter also the dressing-frames and a con-
siderable quantity of hemp), and leaving only the cottages,
silk-mill, and stabling, untouched. Some valuable bloc
for printing silk handkerchiefs, which were in the dr •
room, were saved. The worm is destroyed, and thu
still, on being gauged after the fire, was found to • '4; 436 dik
