Wanting. Vocal and instrumcntal of UV' drat order, and a

close to a day at the Crystal Palace.'

Already the subscriptions to the PERRY Defence
and Testimonial Fund exceed 1,000/. sterling,
and they are still flowing in rapidly ; so that
there is every reason to anticipate that the ob-
jects which we have so earnestly recommended in
The Sun may be accomplished. Nor is the
amount more satisfactory than the class of per-
sons by whom it is contributed. Men of all
ranks—from the 'highest in the Peerage to the
most humble opponents of injustice and oppres-
sion—have sent in their offerings to the deeply-
injured individual. Persons who are really
gentlemen, in the widest signification of the
phrase, have expressed their astonishment at the
result. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH, the descen-
dant of one of England's greatest heroes, headed
the list with the liberal donation of 501. The
Duke of CLEVELAND, a Major-General in the
army—one who has served in every rank, from a
Cornet of Dragoons to a Lieutenant Colonel in an
Infantry Regiment—has forwarded a similar
sum, accompanied by a still more valuable letter—
one that does equal honour to his head and heart.
While the Earl of ASHBURNHAM, whose family
has been described, by FULLER, as of " stupen-
dous antiquity," has evinced equal liberality.
Many other Peers have nobly come forward
in the same cause, while " the shillings" arxd.
" the pence" have come in steadily for the
like purpose. None, however, will proxe more
galling or distasteful to the veracious and gallant
officers of the 46th than the sub`Aription de-
