LORD•IVELSO v's AIONUMENT.

This tribute to the memory of the glorious Nel-
son, erected by the Corporabou of London iii Guild-
hall, is nearly tiinshed, and the public are to be gre.
tified with the sight of it on Lord Mayor's Day. The
Nooility, and a select company, will he allowed to in-
spect it at so earber.day. The execution of the
Monument has received the approbation of several
distinguished ornate. A fine figure, representing the
City, records, on a pyramid of polished marble, the
g:ortous scholia at the Nile, Copenhagen, and Tra-
falgar. The name of Nelson is inscribed above,
within a wreath of gulden laurel. Britannia, with a
majestic lion at her feet, is seen on one side seeping
over a medallion of her departed hero. Neptune,
on the other side, supported by a dolphin, and sur-
rounded by naval Wigs, completes the design. The
eye cannot fail to dwell with satisfaction on the tins-
toiny of the God of the Ocean, and the whole com-
position is well managed. The pedestal coolants
the battle of Trafalgar, the stern of tlie. Victory,
and the top of the French ship from whence Lord
!Claws received his death wound.

(:rear attention has been loud to minute circum-
stances aitendnig the engagement. which cannot
foil to excite admiration. A seaman, on the right
side of the bme. hold, a nautical lead mid line;
snuffler, on the Mt rule, supports • remitter and
speni4e.

Early on Tuesday morning lint, the sleeping
apartment of the Mess-Master, belonging to thetilst
Regiment. at Bexhill Barracks, was robbed of •
trunk, containing batik-notes, (put lip in different
sums, for the payment of tradesmen's bill% which
had been sent im) amounting to 1501. 17 guineas
in cash, • gold watch, three gold rings, some new
cards, and other article% amounting in the whole
to about two hundred pounds value, by a villain or
villains, who contrived to escape, sindiNcovered,
with their booty. A soon as the property cal mi.-
seri, a number of persons were dispatched dillereot
ways, in search of it, by one of whom the trunk was
picked up, but toile empty. ln traversing • sena' I
copse, or thaw, in the neighbourhood of the bar -
racks, the eye of a drum-boy was attracted by a
scrap of list or cloths hanging rits a tree, which
young Tattoo soverited the robbers might have
there placed, se a Mark whereby to ascertain, with
more eertainty, the spot of concealment ; and with
great truth, for on looking iuto some bashes nigh

search a little farther. a similar taken led to the re-
covery of the bank notes ; hot when our informant
left Bexhill, on Wednesday mousing last, the watch,
&e. had not been traced. A men suspected of be-
ing concerned in the robbery was taken up and
committed to the Gourd-house._

stuck of every kind was highly creditable to this
county, in which they were principally bred. as well
as to the Genilessien who exhibited them. Theday
proved remarkably hoe, and the show fi►lds being
delightfully situated, the spectacle was parti,ularly
interesting. After a close examination of the sm.
mils she* 0. the company withdrew to Ott White

lent dinner, at which Sir C. M. liusartr. very ably
