BUST OF COBDEN.—A very excellent bust of the
late Richard Cobden is in course of execution by ➢ir. Bur-
nard, the well-known Cornish sculptor, whose busts of
Ebenezer Elliott, Thackemy, and others have been so much
admired, the model having been already completed. The
sculptor has had every facility for taking the necessary
casts from the head of the illustrious free-trader, and the
likeness is very faithful. The bust will, doubtless, be most
welcome to a large number of Cobden's admirers.

THE QUEEN AND THE CLEWER SISTERHOOD.—
We learn with pleasure that the Queen has been graciously
pleased to give a donation of £lOO to St. Andrew's Hospital
for Convalescents at Glower, and an annual subscription
of £2O upon the condition that her Majesty shall always
privilege of having one patient in the hospital.—

At a meeting of the members of the Amicable
Society, held on Wednesday at the Arundel Hall,
Arundel-street, for the purpose of considering the pro-
visional arrangements for the transfer of the business of
the society to the Norwich Union Life Offices—Sir William
Milman in the chair, and upwards of a hundred members
being present—the meeting unanimously approved and
adopted the terms proposed between the two societies, and
without a dissentient authorised the court of directors to
take measures for carrying the same into effect. A vote of
thanks was passed to the directors for the great care and
consideration shown by them in making the proposed
arrangements, and to express the entire confidence of the
members in their measures to promote the interests of the
SWOT.
