risHOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
_IL in Eliza's Cook's Journal of " Lines written at Kensall-green
Ceinetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de-
sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial
over the remains of" Poor Hood."
:Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic
Annual," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered
our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by
its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ho
known as the Poet of Mirth: bat the higher development of his
genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such
glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of
Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow-
ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping-
place, so that it may be faund without the help of a grave-Yard
servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed
over his human tenderness, arc now earnestly solicited to spare
what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy iu
the In ing and due to the dead.

..„
ter the furthering of this design, the following gentlemen, mem-
bers of the NV hitting `r.'‘ Club, have formed themselves into a Com-
mittee:

Mr. J. Balfour Mr. R. W. Roberts
Mr. Campbell Clarke Mr. W. Strudwicke
Mr. Edward Copping Mr. H. Roscoe St. John
Mr. J. Passmore Edwards Mr. George Waller
!qr. 11. C. Maguire Mr. John Watkins, and
Mr. C. S. Mideleton Mr. G. W. Yapp.
At the request of these gentlemen, Miss Eliza Cook has consented
to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary
Secretary.
Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the
Whittington Club, Arundel-street, strand ; at the office of Eliza
Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street; by Miss Eliza Cook,
54, Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury ; aied by Mr. John Watkins,
34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

ATESSRS. ALLSOPP & SONS' PALE or
R_ BITTER ALES have been unquestionably vouched by the
irtoel eminent Scientific and Medical men of the day, to be " a wry
agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the
ivvalid and the robust ; and as tending, from the pure and whole—
so me iature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion
of alr;ohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic
an todyne bitter derived from hops alone, which they contain, to pre-
se rye the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the
re sto ration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or
it rltAbility."
In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meet the de-
tired.
effect more certai , none are prescribed w;th more confidence
by the Faculty. " The eful manner in which the fermentation is
cony Meted, causes them, assimilate to Foreign Wines more than
the ordinary ales of thiaccountry ; and on this account they do not
occasion that acidity of ;stomach created by the less perfectly ler-
me.atcd ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara-
Vous of malt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter,
taus being less viscid an saccharine, and consequently more easy of
digestion. They resell, indeed, from their lightness, a Wine of
Malt rather than an ord ary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa-
tisf,ctory to find that alleverage of such general consumption is en-
tirely free from every kind of impurity."

BLAIR'S GOUT and EHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial hanother proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine ;
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.

" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
" About twenty years since I was irst attacked by rheumatic gout
In my hands and feet. I had previorsly been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoon*, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings cattalo* appreetatsd only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS, I
ost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfmct
health. _ _ .
. _

" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
ine is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believethe tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.

IFUIVERAL OF THE DUKE OF

WE L LING T OA .

THE LYING IN STATE AT CHELSEA
HOSPITAL.

This day the first act of the great solemnity by which
;he nation is about to mark its sense of the loss which

it has sustained, was commenced. The body of the
Duke of Wellington now lies in state, amid all the cere-
mony of military mourning; and for five days, hour by
hour, the sombre procession of mourners, high and low,
will sweep before the coffin of the dead man, whom all
alike regarded as the pride and the boast of their nation.
Yesterday the Queen performed this melancholy rite,
to-day is set apart for the privileged persons who have
received the Lord Chamberlain's ticket, and the next
four days the public at large will be admitted, as we
have no doubt, in an unceasing throng. The room in
which the dead hero lies in state is the Hall of the
Hospital, no doubt well known to many of our readers,
but so cnanged by the funeral garb with which it has
been invested that none would recognize it. Entering
through a long vestibule hung with black, and light-
ed by what we may call a plumed chandelier, in
front of a trophy formed of thirty tattered and faded
banners, surmounted by the Royal Standard, the
visitor passing on through thick and heavily draped
curtains, finds himself suddenly in presence of the
illustrious dead.

At the end of a long hall, bung in a tent•like faabiou
with sable draperies, across which are carried silver
cords, so as to relieve the otherwise monotonous effect of
au unbroken surface of black, ho sees a raised dais. on
which rest the bier and coffin. This dais is covered in
the centre with a cloth of gold carpet, the bier (four feet
high and nine feet long), being formed of black velvet,
and surmounted by the coffin, richly decorated with
gilding and crimson velvet. On the end of the bier is
suspended an overwhelming display of stars and orders
—among which the insignia of the Garter occupy the
proudest position. The whole bier is surrounded by a
magnificent silver balustrade adorned with heraldic de-
vices, from which project pedestals, which bear, upon
black velvet cushions, the Marshal's batons and orders
of Great Blitain, Hanover, Austria, the Netherlands,
Portugal, Prtssia, Russia, and Spain, and the Duke's
standard and guidon, and attached to all are lion sup-
porters in gold, more than two feet high, bearing
the Ehicids and banners of the nations enumerated.
The hall is lighted by four rows of colossal silver cande-
labra, distributed in double file, at regular intervals, on
either aide, and extending to the foot of the dais. They
are 24 in number, stand seven feet high, and have wax
candles in them seven feet long and three inches thick.
The rows of candelabra next the sido walls being
mounted on pedestals, burn at an elevation of 17 or 18
feet from the ground, and the light is thus shed more
evenly, than would otherwise be the case, over tho sombre
decorations of the interior. A low platform runs along
the side wane of the hall, and upon this picked soldiers
of the Grenadier Guards stand like statues, resting on
their arms reversed. Around the catafalque the Yeo-
men of the Guard are stationed, and nine mourners, one-

ALARMING FLOOD IN BIRMINGHAM.

Ono of the most serious, if not disastrous floods
which has occurred in this part of the country for many
years past, visited Birmingham yesterday evening.
During the afternoon, owing to the heavy and incessant
rain which has been falling for the last few days, but
more especially in the course of last night and to-day,
the River Rea, a small and unimportant stream, which
runs through the lower part of the town, rose to an
unusual height. It is stated that between five and
half-past seven o'clock the water, in some parts,
attained a height of from eight to ten feet. The
arches of the several bridges being inadequate to
the passage of the immense body of water, the sur-
rounding neighbourhoods were inundated over an
extent of some miles, south, west, and north of Bir-
mingham. The fields on both sides of the river are
covered with water, and present the appearance of
one immense lake. In Birmingham itself the effects
of the flood have been disastrous. In the neighbour-
hood of Ballsall-heath and Vaughton, s hole a con-
siderable amount of property has been destroyed.
Mr. Harrison, an extensive brickmaker, is sup-
posed to have suffered to the amount of several
hundreds of pounds. The streets connecting the
parish of Birmingham with the hamlets of Ds-
ritend and Boressley, Moseley-street, Cheapside,
Bradford-street, and Digbeth, are impassable ex-
cept by vehicles. But the most serious injury has
been done to the property in those streets which run
parallel with the Rea. The works situated on the im-
mediate banks of the river are flooded and stopped, with
great damage to machinery. The loss to the manufac-
turers who are located in this neighbourhood will, it is
calculated, amount to some thousands of pounds. In
Rea-street, and several other streets in the vicinity, the
inhabitants of the houses are either flooded out or
obliged to take refuge in the upper storeys of their
dwellings. rho family of one poor woman had a
narrow escape from destruction. A row of house!,
recently erected, one of which abuts on tbo river in
Mill-lane, in the neighbourhood of Derit( nd-bridg°' had
been partially destroyed. About half-past o'clock
is
crash was heard. The inmates immediately fled, and n
a moment afterwards the end wall of the house was pre-
cipitated into the river. Very fortunately no person
was hurt. During the evening, the carcases of pigs,
sheep, and other animals, were seen floating along the
current, leading into the agricultural districts at Wor-
cestershire. It is supposed that considerable loss I,.es•
occurred in the neighbouring districts of Worcestershire.
The immense flow of water is thought to come from the
Liokoy Hills, but no doubt it is greatly augmented by
the recently constructed culyerte of this town,
