TESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE LORD G. BENTINCE.
—On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the trustees 0'
Cavendish-square assembled at the Court-house, Mary-
lebone, for the purpose of considering the plans and pro-
posal to erect a statue, as a testimonial to the memory
of the late Lord George Bentinck, M.P., within the
enclosure of the square. Viscount Barrington, M.P.,
presided. The statue is to be of bronze, of very large
dimensions, and it is understood that the plan, as pro.
posed by the testimonial committee, involved the removal
of the statue of the Duke of Cumberland, erected in his
honour in reference to the battle of Culloden, which now
occupies the centre of the enclosure. This was objected
to by the trustees, who ultimately passed the following
resolution:—" That the trustees of Cavendish-square do
not approve of the site marked out on the plan, as the
same would materially interfere with the enclosure. The
trustees willingly give their consent to the erection of
the statue opening to Holies street, in a line with the
iron railing within the gate, upon two new gates being
furnished at the expense of the committee, one on each
side of the statue, and all dilapidations made good by the
committee."—" That Major Beresford be requested to
communicate this decision to the committee." By this
arrangement, if accepted by the committee, the statue
will occupy a commanding position facing towards
Oxford street, and in a similar position to the statue of
Mr. Pitt, erected in Hanover-square.
DISTRESSING SUICIDE OF A WAITER.—An inquest
was held before Mr. W. Biker, at the Three Compasses,
Dalston, on view of the body of John Ball, aged 59 years,
who had been waiter for upwards of 40 years at Baker's
Coffeehouse, Change-alley, Cornhill. It appeared from
the evidence that the deceased had been in a vary de-
spanding state for some months past, which was attri-
buted to the death of his young master, to whom he was
much attached. On Saturday night last he was disco-
vered by police: constable Watts, No. 156 N, lying upon
the f. ot path in the Middleten-road, Dalston, immediately
opposite the house in which his young master had died.
He was in a state of insensibility, and blood was flowing
copiously from an extensive wound in his throat, which
he had inflicted with a razor, which was found 1)111 by
his side. He had divided the e,,rotid artery, windpipe,
and the wound extended to the vervbrse of the neck.
lie was subsequently removed to the German Hospital,
and lingered in great agony until Thursday morning
last, when he expired. Verdict —" Temporary insanity."
A cricket ball, measuring fourteen inches in cir-
cumference, was found in the stomach of a fine heifer
lately slaughtered by a butcher at Rotherham,
