CITY KTATURS, AND THE DISCOVERY OF KING
LUD AND HIS TWO SONS.

[FIIO3I A COMSPONDINT.I

Most of the regal figures which decorate the interior quadrangle
of the Royal Exchange having undergone the work of renovation,
are replaced in their respective niches, and the remainder will in
rotation come under the chisel of the artist. Not so with poor
Queen Anne, in the front of St. Paul's Cathedral ; she and her
supporters still remain with their mutilated limits, after having
been enshrouded by a wing of dirty bards for nearly two years.
The subjoined is a short description of this monument:—
From City. records It appears that, in A.l). 1712, 2201. was paid
t;:d
hrZar rincipal figure, anti 2201. for each of the supporters of the
, which represent En laid, Ireland, France, and America;
and Mt. few the marble shield in front—so that the whole group
cost 1,1801.

lten the gates of Cr; pple.gate, Aldgate, and Ludgate were pulled
down, in the year 1;do. and mild to 31r.Blzgden, of Coleman-street,
that of Drippl.igate fetched 911., Aldgate 1571. les., and Ludgate!
143. 01 chic lest named stood the statue of Queen Elizabeth.. with j
King bud and his two SOBS Alderman Gosling purchased the
tomer, and caused it to he placed at the east end of St. Dunstan's'
Church, lent.street. to which wst attached an apitmpriate inscrip.
tion ; but owing to an injudicious projection on tne upper part of
the have beneath the niche, it cannot he read from the street.
What became of King lan! atul his two suns was long a matter of
conjecture, and it became the gsneral opinion that they had been
destroyed. Thc fallacy of this donbt was however proved a few
days since, for, en a research being made, they were discovered
standing, " in pitiful plight," against the wall of the cemetery of
St. Dualuan's. They have been removed from the charnel.huure
wherein they were long immured. We arc informed that the pa.
rishioners, who have taken the relics under their peculiar cure, in.
tend to place them in a conspicuous situation, which, if 7.11
into effmt, will rea!ize the intention of Lite donor, and rid I
of the reproach of r.ot haviag a statue to the memory of its vene-
rable founder.

FEMALE INTILPIDITY AND PaI:SINCE OT MIND.-011
Thursday week last, as a child about live years old, named Benja-
min Franklin, was playing with others on the brink of a pond, in
the parish of Using, he fell in and was on the point of drowning.
Some of the neighboun who saw the accident hastened to the pond,
bat were afraid to venture in and lend assistance; their screams,
bowever, fertavately for threhlld. brought from her cotter a wo-
Man ulna Lathanne Bower (a wife and the mother of several
ebiltlres), who, on arriving at the sprit, instantly plunged in and
widths bay et the moment when he had sunk. As the action
was perfectly disinterested, we are happy to hear that the highly
spirited awl ataritorious conduct of this woman has attracted the
att•mtioa of the Royal Humane Society, and that they immedi-
EM4y ordered on extra reward to be paid to this humane end cou-
