ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY.

Her Majesty did not disappoint her anxious sub-
jects at Fleetwood a third time, but arrived safely in the
harbour, as anticipated in our yesterday's correspondence, at
dusk on Monday evening. From Capt. Crispin, of the royal
yacht, our correspondent learnt that the royal party, reached
Campbelton on Saturday, where they passed the second
night. On Sunday morning they went on board the royal
squadron and steamed across into Loch Ryan, where her
Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal children, attended
divine service, which was performed on board. They then
went on board the royal yasht, and the squadron
again weighed and proceeded as far as East Tarbe^
under the Mull of Galloway, where anchors were dropped
for the night. On Monday anchors were weighed at five in
the morning, and the royal squadron sailed for the Isle of
Man, and entered the bay of Ramsay at 9 o'clock. litre
Prince Albert went ashore, and remained there viewing ths
town and other objects worthy of notice for shout three or
four hours. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Sodor
and Man went on beard the royal yacht to pay his respects
to her Majesty, and was most graciously received. The royal
squadron left the bay at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then
ran down to the outside of the bar off Fleetwocd, where after
waiting a short time, till the tide served, they made the port,
and entered it as the evening was closing in, amidst the
shouts of thousands of people who lined the beach, and pier,
and terraces of the town. . .

The Victoria and Albert yacht, with her Msjesty and the
royal family on board, first entered (about half-past seven
o'clock), and was closely followed by the Black Eagle,
the Fairy yacht, and the Garland. The Undine and the
Scourge brought up the rear. In mooring the several
vessels, an awkward accident occurred. The Scourge, not
being left sufficient seaway, unfortunately came in collision
with the Victoria and Albert yacht, and carried away a por-
tion of the quarter gallery. The event, of necessity, some-
what disconcerted her Majesty and those on board.
The soldiers of the 69th were drawn out in military array
on the shore, and as the vessels were moored the band
played "Rule Britannia" and the usual loyal airs. Her
Majesty and Prince Albert—as the royal yacht ran along
the shore within a few yards of the people congregated there
—sat under the glass canopy on deck, which was brilliantly
lighted. The people were thus enabled to get a good siew
of the royal family.
As soon as the vessels were safely moored, the High
Sheriff, Sir liesketh Fleetwood, Sir T. Arbuthnot, General
Sir W. Warne, Capt. Huisb, and Mr. Houldtworth, went sin
board, had an interview with Lord Palmerston, and en-
trusted him, for presentation to the Queen, with a loyal
address, agreed to at a meeting of the inhabitants on that
day week.
The railway authorities explained to Lord Palmerston the
arrangements which they had made for the conveyance of
the Queen to London, with all of which he expressed satis-
faction. The time for starting was announc,d to be tea
o'clock on the following morning, and the local authorities
retired. Shortly after, her Majesty's despatches were sent
on board, and the Queen and Prince Albert were seen reed-
ing the letters. The royal children were playing around
them. About eleven o'clock, it being a fine moonlight night,
and the crowds of people having left the shore, her Majesty
and royal consort landed on the lowered pier, which had
been transformed into an elegsnt saloon, and promenaded it
for a considerable time, enjoying the glimpses which it
afforded them of the principal buildings of the town, in-
cluding the terraces fronting the harbour, the North Euston
Hotel, and the beautiful lighthouses. No accurate idea Can
be formed, perhaps, of the number of people who had coma
to Fleetwood during the week ; but on Monday alone be-
tween 5,000 and 6,000 passengers had been conveyed there
by the Fleetwood and Wyre Railway.
Yesterday morning people were stirring betimes to see the
royal debarkation, which was fixed to take place at tea
o'clock, and thousands of people were again added tether
already in the town, in time to be partakers in the pleasures
of the spectacle. Only a select circle of friends were ad-
mitted into the saloon on the landing pier, at right angles to
which a covered way or corridor had been erected, leading to
the railway, which is behind the pier and parallel to it. The
royal carriage was placed at the end of this corridor, and
stood there attached to the other carriages forming the trail
for upwards of an hour before the time of starting. The
sides of the saloon and corridor were open, so that the people
outside, and who bad been admitted in thousands to the
area between the carriages and the saloon, were enabled
to get a sight of her Majesty as she pared along the spacious
saloon from the east end to the corridor at the north end,
and from theace along the corridor to the railway train, a
distance of about 250 feet. The c ompany in the saloon is-
eluded a great number of elegantly-dressed ladies, for whine
accommodation a gallery had been erected at the north en&
At a quarter to ten the signal was given on board the Mill
squadron to man the yards, and almost at ten precisely the
Queen, escorted by Prince Albert, leading the royal children
by the hand, ascended the gangway, and stepped ashore into
the saloon, where they were received by W. Gale, ER.,
high sheriff of the county, and the Rev. St. Vincent lieedqi
incumbent of Fleetwood, and conducted to the railway train.
Her Majesty was looking exceeding well, and smiled Mut'
edly as she passed along the saloon and corridor, when
greeted with the loud cheers of the people. The directors of
the Lancashire and Yorkshire and Preston and Were Rail-
way, with Mr. H. Houldsworth, Mr. Higgin, and Mr. Geo.
Wilson, their chairman and deputy-chairmen, received her
Majesty at the railway. Our correspondest was informed
that her Majesty expressed her thanks to them, therda
Lord Adolphus leitzclarence, on entering the royal carnage,
for the attention paid to her comfort, and was plessed to a/
that the arrangements were of the moat complete and Est*
factory character she bad met with at any of the differed
ports where she had landed during her trip. Her Majesty,
after entering the royal carriage, stood up for some inameals
to glee upon the assemblage, and repeatedly bowed is
iM
knowledgment of the cheers from every side. A new sad
powerful engine belonging to the Lancashire and lorkikire
Company was attached to the royal train, and it MR
the pier at about ten minutes past ten, driven by ,Mr.
Hawkshaw, principal engineer of the Manchester and 10Tb
shire Company, amidst renewed cheering. It was uadsr
stood that this engine would take the royal train on r tr si
Preston, where the Albert, a London and North-Wester
engine, under the superintendence of Captain Iluish, woad
take it forward to London.
Her Majesty, the Priuce, and suite, arrived last remise,
at 25 minutes before 6 o'clock, at the Eustoresquare term-
nut After a few minutes delay the royal party proreilais
in two of the royal carriages and four, to Buckingham
Palace. On passing through the gate her Majesty was wel-
comed with laud cheers by a large number of persons, who,
notwithstanding the state of the weather, had assembled to
witness her arrival.

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY Or LONDON.—John Spearman, a member of
the Makers of Playing Cards' Company, had his name struck
off the list under the following circumstances was de-
scribed in the list as residing at No. 160, High-street, Cam-
berwell; it was discovered, by means of a messenger sent to
the beadle of the parish during the sitting of the court, that
he had in fact removed to 160, Orove-street, Camden-town;
but as neither Mr. Spearman nor the beadle attended in
court to prove the fact, the revising barrister said he could
not allow the name to be retained.
Under the head " Pewterers' Company," Charles Bow-
hiss,ff
name inserted on the reg.iirter. It appeared that the
name was expunged last year in ooneequenoe of the pag7

king a pensioner of the company; that he was a liveryman
d the company and a freeman of the City ; and that he
Twirled within the prescribed distance.
ID. Lodger, for the claimant, contended that the eel.
ewe before the court being simply that he was a liveryman
kg IL freeman residing within seven miles, and no notice of
objection haring been given, the claim must be allowed.
Mr. Smith, on the same side, argued that there was a
distinction between parochial relief and relief received from
,o,gpeey; sod that the latter would not disqualify.
The Revising Barrister said that, as the claim hed been
made regularly, and no one appeared to object, he must
allow the vote.
Mr. James Davis, a member of the Patten Makers' Com-
pay, was objected to by Mr. Smith, for the liberal party,
ein the ground of non residence. Evidence was adduced by
Mr. Brown, for the conservatives, to show that Mr. Davis
resided generally in the country, and that when in town he
*occupied a reem at No. 12, Gibson-street, Lambeth,—the
house of Mr. Griffith, a publican, and a friend of the
claimant. This room was stated to be esclusively his own ;
but, alit could not be proved that he paid any rent for it,
the name was expunged,
Georg, Greenhill, a member of the Tallow Chandlery'
Company, c aimed to have his name inserted on the regis-
ter. Ihe cla.inant first gave "Brandon House, Barnes,"
as his resid..ne: but that being beyond the legal distance,
be substituted for it " Bury-street, St. James's. where he
carried or. the business of a wax and tallow-chandler. He
stated that he let the upper part of the house in Bur} street,
but retained a sufficient number of TOMS to qualify himself.
It turned out, now ever, that the rooms thus reserved had not
been slept in by the claimant for three or four years, and on
this ground the claim was disallowed, Mr. Greenhill observ-
ing that he would take good care in future to sleep in the
rooms for two ur three nights in the year, in order to secure
his vote.
The revision of the Livery List terminated yesterday, and
it was rumoured that the revising barrister will next proceed
with the wind, of Aldersgata-within and without, the
parishis to be taken in their order.
The result of the revision up to the present time is as fol-
lows : Liberal claims allowed, 4 ; disallowed, 1. Conserva-
tive claims allowed, 1 ; disallowed, 4. Liberal objections
sustained, 132 • failed, 43. Conservative objections sus-
tained, 97 ; f,ilevl, 112. Objections by both parties—sus-
tained, 61 ; failed, 1.

EAST STRUET.— The Revising Barrister, Mr.
B. C. Fish, held his first court on Monday, at the
Town-hall, Reigate. Meters. Drummond and Chrees at-
tended as the conservative agents, and Mr. R. Russell on
behalf of the Jibe rale. Mr. Jeans was also present as the
representative of the East Surrey Reform Association.
There were very few objections or fresh claims, and none o
them involved any point of public interest —The court wet
yesterday held at Croydon, when the same agents attendeds
The conservatives had made 45 objections, but they only.
established one, and the whole of the remaining objections
failed. There were /3,1 liberal objections, of which number
they sustained 11. No new point was involved in any of
the cases.
LIVERPOOL.—IMPORTANT DECISION.—On Monday
the court for the revision of the list of voters for the borough
was opened before T. S. Brandereth, Esq., the revising bar-
rister. The reformers objected to 101 householders and 330
freemen, in all 431. On an objection being made by Mr.
Bremner, the agent of the conservatives, as to the description
of the pees en who had signed all the objections, the revising
barrister decided that the description was insufficient, and
that the objections on the part or the reformers were all in-
vslid. He stated, however, that ho would allow an appeal
to be made against his derision, and proceed with the revi-
sion of the les. subject to the objection which bed been m►de.
On the opening of the court yesterday morning, Mr. HuU,
on the part of the reformer., was again referring to the
poiht, when the revising barrister stated that he would not
re-open the argument. —Mr. Hull then handed in his
appeal, and after the lied of objections to the house-
holders had been gone through, the revising barrister
submitted a case which he had drawn up on
Mc. Hull's appeal against his decision. It was
based upon the objection made to a Mr. Hartley's descrip-
tion, that he did not state in which ward his name appeared
on the register. The above-named case, which, we under-
stand, will be heard at the Court of Common Pleas at West-
minster in January next, affects upwards of 400 votes now
on the register. The revising barrister remarked, just
before the rising of the court, that ;the list of voters,
as made out by the overseen, was not according to the act
of parliament.

TUE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM'S AFFAIRS.—Sir : As
solicitors to the Marquis of Chandos, we request that you
will give insertion to this letter, to correct a mis-statement
conveyed in a paragraph of 3 our paper of yesterday, re- :
spectirg the Duke of Buckingham's affairs, which implies i
that the fact of the change of ownership of the property was ,
rot made known until the execution was put into Bucking-
ham House. The whole of the duke's interest in his real and
personal property was purchased by the Marquis of Chandon
for considerably more than its value in May last. The deed
of conveyance and assignment was regularly registered in
Middlesex and Ireland ; and immediate notice was given to ;
all parties then having clai re upon, or being in any way con-
muted with, the property, to the parish officers of the
several parish.s, and to the sheriffs of Middlesex, Hampshire,
and Buckinghamshire.—Crunte, WOODGATE, AND WIL-
LIAMS.-32,-Lincola's-lon-fields, 21st S. pt., 1847.
CITY CO3IMISSIONEF.S OF SEWERS. ELIM
CHAPEL.—Yesterday, at the Court of Sewers held at I
Guildhall, at which presided the chairman, Mr. Deputy
Peacock, Mr. Daw, the chief clerk, stated that since the 1
court had last assembled, a complaint had been made by Dr.
Farquhar and Mr. G. A. Walker, surgeon, under the pro-
visions of the 9 & 10 Vic., cap. 98, relative to the state of
Elim Chvpel, Fetter-lane; that a summons had immediately
been taken out, and which had been heard, and although
application had been made to the sitting aldermen, Messrs.
Hooper and Johnson, by the trustees, for the hearing to be
postponed, it had been refused, and the magistrates had de-
cided that the nuisance complained of was to be removed,
and the necessary steps to carryout that decision were to com-
mence oa Monday morning.—The Chairman inquired
whether the trustees of Eliot Chapel had commenced taking
any steps to abut • the nuisance ?—Mr. Daw was not aware
whether the orders of the aldermen had been complied with.
—lt was then moved, and unanimously agreed to, " That
Mr. Haywood, the surveyor, should inspect the vault and
cellar which had been used fur the interment of the dead
beneath the above chapel, and to report as to whether the
trustees had commenced carrying into effect the decision of
the two magistrates, and if so, whether the course adopted
would prevent the escape of any effluvium or obnoxious gas.
Should the necessary steps set have been taken, or not in
accordance to the order, the commissioners of sewers will
then proceed to take the necessary steps to abate the nuisance,
and charge the expenses upon the trustees of the chapel, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the act."
THE ST. PANCRAS POOR.—INADEQUACV OF THE
WORKHOUSE DlETARY.—Yesterday a meeting of the direc-
tors end gusrdians of the parish of St. Pancras was held in
the new vestry rooms, when the chair was occupied by Mr.
Churchwarden lloworth, who, with reference to the condi-
tion of the inmates of the workhouse, begged to call the at-
tention of the board to the Mad, gusty of the dietary table,
especially in the article of bread ' • the paupers had potatoespotatoeslnd pudding together, which he (the chairman) thought was
a bad combination of food. Ho was not, however, aware
that there was any great objection to the dietary table, but
he considered it ought to be so regulated as to prevent, by
supplying proper nourishment, the introduction of extra-
neous articles of food in the workhouse. The chairman then
Ingested the appointment of a committee to inquire into the
matter, and that the dietary teble should in future show the
allowance of food for each meal.—Mr. Morris agreed that the
board should establish a sufficient dietary to prevent the in-
troduction of articles which had been said by the medical
men to be of a dangerous character.—Mr. Clarke said
the matter had come upon him rather suddenly, as
he considered the dietary table was everything that
could be wished, and if the master or the medical
officer had anything to complain of they ought to come for-
ward..—The Chairman repeated that the allowance of bread
to the paupers was very inadequate.—Dr. Bermingham was
not aware of anything that would lead to this alteration in
the dietary, although twelve months ago he took a very
active part in the question, when it was admitted that the
quality of the food was good. whilst the quantity was consi-
dered to he inadequate, and he (Dr. Bermingham) thought
the poor might still have a better supply of food. lie was,
however, disinclined to yield to the rule attempted to be en-
forced by the poor law commissioners, that of not allowing any
article brought to the workhouse to be received, even a little
wine, perhaps brought to an aged and dying individual by an
affectionate relative. He hoped the board would not submit
to that kind of discipline. Dr. Bermingham then recom-
mended a larger supply of pearl barley, and also of peas, one
of the most nutritious and least expensive articles that was
introduced into the house. He thin brought forward the
subject of dying paupers in the infirmary being exposed to
the gaze of the other inmates, who were sometimes seriously
affected by tho groans and contortions of the individuals in
the agony of death. —Considerable discussion upon this
matter arose, and at length it was moved and seconded that
screens be provided for the infirmary. The question was
put, and carried nem. con., and after some further business
the board separated.
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—The accustomed annual ora-
tions by the senior scholars of this noble establishment were
delivered yesterday, St. Matthew's-day, before the Lord
Mayor, sheriffs, and other corporation authorities, and a
crowded auditory. The first discourse, a Latin oration, on
the benefits of the royal hospitals of Edward VI., was pro-
nounced by Edward Hayman, second Grecian, about to pro-
ceed to Clare-hall, Cambridge. The speech, excellently
constructed, as a classical composition, gave a succinct
account of Edward's various benevolent institutions, and
depicted the immense benefits they hays conferred upon
society, in relation dike to health of body and to health of
mind. The <ccond oration, in English, pronounced by
John Daniel Williams, first Grecian and classical medallist,
proceeding to Trinity College, Cambridge, pursued the
same theme ; and the talented speaker, in more especial
reference to Christ's Hospital, gracefully indicated the various
persons who, acquiring eminence in the world, have owed
their training to this learned establishment : Camden, Bishop
Middleton, Coleridge, &c., and adverted to the circumstance,
so gratifying to hospitallers, that at the present moment
two professional chairs at Cambridge are occupied by sons of
the school. The Greek oration on the same subject was
delivered' by Charles Edward Searle, third Grecian and
mathematical medallist, who is proceeding to Pembroke col-
lege as the Times scholar. Mr. Searle obtained well-merited
applause for his discourse. The fourth Grecian, William
Allan Russell, who is proceeding to Oxford, pronounced a
French oration on the same theme, ably composed,
lad admirably delivered. The ether productions were—
Latin Alcaics, on Marcus Curti us, by Hermann Charles
Heilbronn, bronn, ninth Grecian; Greek lambics—Milton's " In-
vocation to L'ig_ht," by James Lemprikre Hammond, fifth
Grecian, and Mathematical Xeddlist, 1847; English Ode,

on the recent Double Discovery of the Planet Neptune, by
Adams and Leverrier, by D'Arey Wentworth Thompson,
seventh Grecian, and Clinical Medallist, 1647; Latin Hens-
ateten—. The Country Clergyman," from Goldsmith's
"Deserted Village," by CharlesDaere Craven, &Lath Grecian ;
Greek Sapphic—Gray's " Ode to Spring," by Robert Black,
eighth Grecian ; Latin Elegiacs—Antigone Burying her Bro-
ther Polynices, by Thomas ilolbrow' eleventh Grecian ; and
an Enghilt Poem on the Creation, by George Hector Creed,
twelfth Grecian. The tenth Grecian, Lawrence Craven, was
absent through Milne. The exhibition of great and various
ability manifested by these productions must have been
most gratifying to the respective friends of the speakers, and
to the authorities of the institution. A liberal collection was
made for the library purposes of the new collegians, and the
proceedings terminated with the formal business of renewing
the minor officers for the ensuing year.
IRlsll WASTE LAND IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.—
Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the directors
and proprietors of this society was held by adjournment at
the King's Head, Poultry. From the report of the pro-
ceedings of the society for the put year, it appears that owing
to the calamitous state of affairs in Ireland, by which the
labouring classes had been wholly deprived of sustenance,
and upwards of 708,000 men were employed at a monthly
expense of 1,000,0001. on public works, and the estimated
loss upon agricultural produce of the country wa512,000,0001.,
the society's agents, with a view to meet so dire a calamity,
and prevent the tillage of land on the society's estates being
thrown out of cultivation, gave direction, for carrying
on various expetintents on small model farms, and
quantities of rape and cabbage seeds were sown,
kir the purpose of distributing plants to the te-
nantry if the potato crops failed, and the most sae-
cesaful results had arisen from the precautions taken by
the society. At the present time the society were giving
constant employment to about 250 men, besides women and
children, thereby supporting 1,100 to 1,200 persons, the total
population of the estates amounting to 3,000 souls. Prizes
were to be offered this year to promote the branches of agri-
culture essential to the altered state of affairs, which were
supported by the society's landlords. The society already
possess tracts of land which had been recovered to the extent
of 10,000 acres, and it is confidently expected that 10,000
more acres would be recovered. The court of directors had
already entered into treaties for extensive tracts of land, one of
which was 5,000 acres. On the society's estates in Ballinakill
it was ascertained that seventeen new tenants bad lost their
entire crops, and were without food, and that the remainder
had lest from twenty-five per cent. ; and the average loss of
the whole number was seventy-live per cent., er in value
' from 3601. to 480/. ; and it would require at least 7201. to re-
place the potato crop in any other food. In Gleneaske it
was found that twelve tenants had lost their entire potato
crops, cad the remainder from ten per cent. upwards ; their
average loss on the whole being ninety per cent. These were
valued at 7221. ; and it was calculated that it would require
1,9601. to replace the loos at the then price of provisions. The
I crops on the model farm, with the exception of the potato, '
were very fine, and yielded • good profit. In Kilkerrin it
was found that the crops of twenty tenants bad totally '
failed, sad that they were nearly without food ; the remain-
ing crops varied from b 0 or 90 per cent. low, but owing to
the preservation of some very tine crops in a few fields the
average lon amounted to only 331 per cent., or from 2,1271.
value to 1,3711. The general improvements on the estates
being made were going on favourably, and the coast road
from Clifden and Ouchterard road, by Scribbe, Rushee's,
and Carna, which had been so long sought by the society,
was then being rapidly constructed, to which the society had
contributed 4181. The society had also contributed 5001., by
annual instalments, towards the projected pier at Rushers.
The effect of this pier and the road will be to secure a
direct line of communication between the county of Clare
and the towns on Galway-bay with the western divisions of
Galway and Mayo. Schools for the instruction of the numer-
ous children on this estate were in the course of erection. The
estimated expenses and returns of the estates for the past
year were—for expenses, including rents, salaries, and
contingencies, in Bsllioakill, Glenraske, and Kilkerrin,
1,6711.17 r. 2d.; Ind the receipts from the same places, and
Tulligoline, 2,1341. ; leaving a balance of 460/. 2s. 10d. The
capital sum of the society is 500,0001., in 501. shares, of
which 7,000 had been subscribed, upon which 101. had been
paid, and there was now another call of '2/. The secretary
said aa there was not a sufficient number of shareholders
present, 15, the meeting must, under the provisions of the
society's act, 6th Will. IV., HT. 39, be again adjourned for a
week, after which time the directors would be empowered
to continue to act, and if necessary enforce all calls. The
usual time having expired, the meeting was accordingly
adjourned.
INQUESTS, YESTERDAY. A PERSON CITOKED
WHILE DININO.—At the King's Head, Great Mitchell-
street, St. Lukc'e, before Mr. Baker, on the body of John
Roberts, aged 85 years, a greengrocer, residing at No. 11,
Great Mitchell-street. On Monday lust the deceased was
eating some beef and bread, when he suddenly fell from the
chair. A lodger immediately went to his assistance, and
extracted a piece of bread and two large pieces of beef from
his throat. A surgeon was sent for, but he expired directly
afterwards. The deceased was in the habit of eating fast
and ravenously. Verdict—" Death from suffocation."—
STlClDE.—Before Mr. Baker, at the Old Red Lion, Wilson-
street, Finsbury, on view of the body of Mr. Win. Priest,
aged 50 years, who committed suicide by swallowing prussic
acid. The deceased was an upholsterer, and was formerly
in business with a partner. About twelve months since the
partnership was dissolved, and the deceased opened a shop
on his own account in Wilson-street. Finsbury. During the
summer business was very dull, and deceased became much
embarrassed in his circumstances, and on Saturday last, en
being pressed for a bill which had become due, he was not
prepared to pay it. On Monday last he was beard to go out
of the house and return shortly afterwards. lie said he was
very ill, and wanted rest. Some time afterwards he was
heard groaning very heavily, and his sister went into the
room. He was lying on the bed in an insensible state, and
• surgeon was immediately sent for, but the deceased ex-
pired before be came. A smell bottle was found which had
contained prussic acid. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."
—Tee FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE THANE/S.—Mr. Higgs
resumed an inquiry, adjourned from Friday, at the Essex
Head, Essex-street, Strand, on Wilson Emery, who with
Sergeant Patton, of the Fusili.r Guards, perished on the
Ilth inst. by the boat in which he was training for a rowing
match coming in collision with the Matrimony, near the
Nine Elms pier. Last evening Corporals Bye, Smith, and
Hopkins, who were in the boat with deceased, proved that
the melancholy occurrence was purely accidental ; and the
jury, after an inquiry which occupied six hours, returned a
verdict of " Accidental death." As soon as it was known
that Sergeant Patton lost his life by the collision with
the Matrimony, the privates of Artillery quartered in the
Tower sent '21., and the sergeants of the Guards forwarded
41. to his bereaved widow. A collection is now making by
the military of the garrison, to enable Mrs. Patton to pro-
vide for h2r five orphans. Sergeant Patton, who was fifteen
years in the regiment, was much respected by his officers,
end beloved by his comrades.
