THE 'LATE CA PTA IN 11,11. D dE.

Til'lnhabitants of Banibay have followed the
noble example of the Merchants of o)zit Presidency,
and in order. to manifest their " reverence for. the
dead, their admiration of the liting, and their grail:
tude to all who shared in the, brilliant andtrietnor-
able capture of the Piedmonlaise," have dpeaesi a
Subscription for the erection of a Mentnnent ita
the Church of Bonibay, to the rueMory of Cap-
tain EIAttDI,iGE, late of His Majesty's Ship Son
Fiorenzo.

In a few weeks nearly 20,000 rupees (upWardi
of 20001. sterling) were subscribed. At the bead of
the list we Lind recorded the name of the gallant
Admiral Sir E. PELLE W, gtld that of .Sir JAMES'
MACK NTOSII, the learned and eloquent Recorder of
Bombay. .
Lieutenant, now Captain DawsoN-, and the Qtl-1-
cers and gallant Seamen who shared is the brilliant
achievement, have subscribed liberally, as a. tribute
of atfeafion and esteern for the memory of their. la-
mented C*ain. The subscription of the. Seamen,
we mention to their honour, isfive hundred guineas,
to be Out of the prize-money arising from the
sale W.-the Piedmontaise.

As a vessel was expected to sail flr Europe about
the beginning of May, it was judged proper to close
the Subscription, and to take immediate steps for
procuring a monument worthy of the liberality of
that community, and of the present state of English'
Art.

" The attention of our Readers will no, doubt be
drawn to the proceedings of the Bombay Mer-
chants, and to the subscriptions made. at Bombay
for a Monument to Captain HA RDINGE. We do
not hear, either front the CalCutta Papers or those
of Madras, that similar testimonies of honour and
respect have been paid at either of these Presi-
dencies. We conlude, however, although no pub-

they will, end that the names of many individual!!
from both will appear on the Lists of the Subscrip-

Harmll-GALDEN.—Yesterday H. Lambert, late
a pawnbroker, who had been burnt out in Portponl-
lane, attended at this Office, and stated, that on Wed-
nesday night, at g o'clock, three men addressed hid
under pretence of carrying a letter for them, when
they immediately thrust him into the kitchen of his
late burnt house, bound him hands and feet with
cords, gagged his mouth with twisted brass wire and
corking pins transversely Led; the cords which bound
him were suspended from the ceiling. The Villains
afterwards robbed him of ten guineas and a metal
watch,. and went away, leaving the poot man in the
utmost torture, in which he remained until yester-
day morning at eight o'clock, when he was released,
greatly exhausted. He had hardly any recolleetiort
"of thdir persons, the transaction having taken place '
in the dark. Diligent search is, however, making
to find%them out, it poSsible.

The slate-works opened and wrought by the. late
Lard PENRUYN, in North Wales,- produce at present
upwards of 25,9001. per annum.
