as we formerly stated, to be given to Mr. Brougham in Edin-
burgh ; and thus the two chief cities in Scotland will afford,
about one and the same time, the gratifying spectacle of paying
a tribnte of respect to two ofi the most entinent statesmen of
modern times. Sir James was invited to a public dinner here

The Isle of Wight Philosophical Society held
their Monthly Meeting on Tuesday se'nnight. An important
discovery of more of the remains of the large Fossil Elephant
having been made by Mr. JOHN SMITH, in the brick earth at
his yard, at Shide, the same were presented in his name to the
Society, by the Curator of the Museum, who explained the
nature of these valuable relics and the deluvial bed in which
they were found. The remains were two large molar teeth of
the great fossil elephant, and fragments of the jaw, in which,
when first discovered, they were placed in their natural posi-
tion.—A vote of thanks to Mr. Smith was unanimously passed
for his great care and attention in searching after and preserving
those valuable remains for the use of the Society. Some coins
were presented by Joseph Kirkpatrick, Esq. which were found
in his garden.—The Lecture was delivered by Mr. Abraham

the progress of the science—a short analysis of the Wernerian
and Huttonian Theories—described the Geology of England
generally, and the stratification of the Isle of Wight in parti-
eular, explaining many of the phenomena connected with the
subject. The Lecture was illustrated by appropriate drawings
and sections, painted in an accurate and pleasing manner by
Mr. Dashwood, jun. of Newport.

At the storming of Mendydroog, in the East

signal to advance, one of the -soldiers whispered

gold." This answer produced the proper effect.
