HAMPSHIRE PITT CLUB.
The Anniversary of the ILiTs PITT CLUB was celebrated
at the White Hart Inn, Winchemer, on Friday last, being the
Anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, a victory obtained
under the auspices of the illustrious and lamented Statesman,
in respect to whose memory this and many other similar Clubs
in every part of the kingdom have been instituted. There were
present—
A. R. Dottin, Esq. President; the Rev. Sir Henry Rivers,
Bart. Vice-President; the Hon. and Rev. Chancellor Legge;
T. A. Smith, Esq. (the oldest Member of this Club, and one
of the Members of the London Pitt Club from its commence-
ment); Colonel Iremonger ; Henry Eyre, George Hollis, Bar-
nard Winter, and T. Deane, Esqrs. ; the Revds. C. Richards,
Jun. (Chaplain to the Club), Thomas Westcombe, and C. S.
Bonnett, Clerks; and many were prevented attending from
there being other public dinners both here and at Southampton
on the same day.
WAIMIAM WYNDHAM, Esq., M. P., was uanimously
elected a Member, and other Gentlemen proposed.
The usual patriotic and loyal toasts of the Club were given,
and also the Members for the County and City of Winchester,
the Dcan and Chapter, Warden and Fellows of the College,
and other local toasts, and the same unanimity and cordiality
prevailed which has always distinguished this highly respect-
able Club.

Loan ROLLS.—Some malignant wag has re-
sumed his attacks on this Nobleman with false
reports of the death of Lady RoLLE. What
pleasure can be derived from such contemptible
tricks, it is difficult to conceive, except by the
despicable anonymous assailant.
A rumour was current in the city ou Saturday,
that it has been determined on to appoint imme-
diately a Minister Plenipotentiary to the Re-
public of Colombia, and that Mr. Hu RTADO, the
present Envoy from that country, will be receiv-
ed in the same rank at the British Court. We
cannot positively affirm that this intelligence is
true, but the measure seems to follow the ratifi-
cation of the treaties between the two countries,
and cannot at all events, we conceive, be long
delayed.
Mr. Joni./ PARISH ROBERTSON, Agent for the
Peruvian Government, has received a dispatch
under date 28th May, from Lima, announcing
the formal ratification of the second Peruvian
Loan.
Mr. SMITH, so long admired on the London
Stage, even in the time of GARRICK, died a few
years ago at a very advanced age at Bury St.
Edmonds, universally esteemed and respected.
He was, as the world well knows, the original
Charles Surface in The School for Scandal ; and,
by the admirable spirit of his acting, essentially
contributed to the success of that Comedy. We
should not revive this fact if a paragraph had not
appeared in the public Journals, stating that the
original Charles Surface was a " Mr. SMITH,
called Gentleman SMITH, who died, last week
at Orby, aged eighty, of late years remarkable
for a disregard of dress, which led him some-
times into amost whimsical patchwork of clothing."
Mr. SMITIS, the real original Charles Surface,
had reached his nineteenth year. It is evident
that the writer of the, paragraph alluded to must
be totally ignorant of the London Stage and its
Performers, and, under such ignorance, he should
not have wounded the feelings of the surviving
family and friends of the Gentleman who was so
long one of its chief ornaments, 14 this falsp and
ridiculous misrepresentation.
