IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since thq
year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Luis Venereali
which? from its obstinately resisting every course el medicine
prescribed by the niost eminent of the faculty here, and ure
deigning severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dia.
charged from the Hospital wish little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In ail spring of last year
my aisorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a oeriod
to myexistence—d had a large ulcer the crown of miheadi
on e an each arm, and my legs were broke ont in at frightfel
manner; my right was dreadfriliy painful, arid had Peen in a
state of ulceration fur the last seven years: my left hail Alla
two large nodes on it, was very 'nisch discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as n early to deprive me of rest •, in this lamentable state, I
wee recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received sit
greats cure by them here), to take emir-Leal:es Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the 410th 0). hia/ ; in the course of ri
fortnight I began to receive henefit--ni little snore than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were worldly bealet'—
soon after, the acres on my !eel healed also; leaving,
ever, coosiderribledrscolouratioo in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of find, ausl v little
longer perseveraoce in your invaluar.le Medicine, steasitird
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaibling its natural late, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going off.-1 thus became, by

MONUMENT TO LORD ERSKIN E.

A Meeting of the Member; of the profession
of the law was held in Lincoln's Inn-hall yesterday evening,
for the purpose of paying a mark of respect to the memory of
Lord Erskine. The hall-doors were °pails() at seven o'clock,
and in a few minutes afterwards the hall was filled by a
number of the most eminent Barristers and Solicitors In the
metropolis. Among the persons present, we observed Mr.
Scarlett, M. P., Mr. Abercromby,
...M. P., Mr. Brougham,
M. P. Mr. Denman, M. P., Mr. Bailie, M.P., Sir. W. Owen,
Mr. Bell, Mr. Jervis, Mr. Dover, Mr.'ll. cooper, Mr. Wake-
field, Mr. Atcheson, Mr. Freshfield, Mr. Kay, &c.
Mr. SCARLETT was called to the Chair: Upon taking it
he observed, that he was fully ;4e us! ble of the honour
which the..Mecting had conferred;:: him calling him
to the Chair; and the best return he' could make thein for
.it would be to detain them as short a time as possible.—
He was inclined to brevity upon this occasion because he Wes
aware that they were all acquainted with the purpose for which
they were Met, and because he likewise knew that they were
most of them occupied by other engagements, to which it was
requisite that they should return as early as they could. For
the sake of form, he would read, Ott requisition on which they
had been assembled. It was as follows

" Understanding it to be the wish of the profession of the
law that some mark of respect should be shown to the memory
of the late Lord Erskine, we take the liberty of requesting your
attendance at Lincoln's-inn Hall on Monday the 15th of De-
cember, at half-past seven o'clock in the evening.
John Lens, :Limes Scarlett, •
John Vaughan, John Bell.
• Arthur Onslow, John Gurney,
Albert Pell, George llctid,"
Thomas Jerv:s. Sce. &c. •

That requisition had been made in conseqtience of an Inti-
mation having been made to several gentlemen of the bar,
that there was a prevalent wish amongst the members of the
profession that some token of respect should be paid to the
memory of the late bord Erskine, a man whom they had all
p'ved and admired whilst he was alive, and whom they had al-
ways acknowledped to be one of the greatest ornaments to that
common profession to which they all belonged. Ile .was sure
that in an assembly of gentlemen like thole v;hom he then saw
before him, it was quite unnecessary to state any mesons for
their °firing this proof of respect and admiration to the late
Lord Erskine. The public at large were eager to pay
some tribute to his memory ; but they felt that such a tri-
bute, whatever its nature was, ought to originate from the
profession to which he had belonged. For his own part,
he must say, that he felt with them ; and, provided the
meetiny. entertained similar feelings, and approved of the
proposition, he Would, without further address, which the
well-known merits of Lord Erskine render umacessary, pro-
pose that a statute to the memory of his Lordship should be
erected in some place to be determined by a' Committee. If
any gentleman had any other proposition to melte, he should be
happy to hear it, but if not, he would now take the liberty of
moving in words, which he would hereafter reduce to writing,
that a subscription lie opened for the purpose of erecting a
statute to the late Lord .Erskine ; that the followin4 gentlemen
be appointed to form the said committee; and that it be left to
them to determine the proper place in which it ought to be
erected. Mr. Scarlett then mentionedrthe followitig names:—
Mr. Serjeunt Lena, Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, Mr. Bell, 'Mr.
Heald, Mr, Itaine, Mr. Jervis, Mr. Otirney, Mr. Adam, and
Sir W. Owen.
Mr. AnEncitostiir said 'hat the name of the Chub-roan
ought also to be inserted.—(ll-1r !) •
Mr. ScArtt, TT said he should also wish to add the names of
Mr. Abcrcromby, 31r. Canipbell, Mr. Itrougl:.iin, and Mr.
Down There were also •-.wo personal friends of Lord Erskine,
whom he thought they ought to place on the Committee-1:e
meant Mr. Lam and Mr. Mel/nisi Wilson. These gentlcamen
he would propose to form the Committee of Management. .11e
would also add a R solu/ion, that Coetts and Co.
shoulcl be apprintcd bankers to receive subwiptions along
etch other bankers as the Comenittee mig!it think it neces-
sary to appoint.
A Gentlemen, with whose //erne we irciie unamuninted, tiro-
posed that Mr. Ilrandeth and lip n6Bl/field should be added
to the Committee._ _

M. Sch.nt_ rTw heal not the slightest ohjection to tiv..!Proposeti
addition ; indeed they should be glad •o receive those
as colleagues into the Cnlelittoe ittn,q,, with any itiggestion
which they or ..tny 'other gendeanrn teem it txpedient to
make. It the gentlemen present'acceded to Oleic, propbsitims,
the whole matter mi,.;!it be considened Art sealvd.
A hinn of approbation .watt heard from the meeting.
Mr. SCARLLT T observed that he had on)), one word trete to
observe to theni before they dispersed. They bad ronsidere d tvhe.
thee the subscription should be liMited to any, end What aunt.
The great re.spectabilitY of the relent ineeting, and the 'sineero
respect Which WAS felt by the Tiublie for the memory of Lord Et»
skine, convinced him that the subscription would be extentie:! M
and therefore he thought that it Would perhaps he expedient
that no individual should set the exat.ipl of a very large subl
scription. Ile should be happy to contribute his share, and
that amongst the largest • yet without Meaning to discourato
any person from sUbscribing largely, he hoped' that he might
be permitted to say that too large a sub4utuffon at' the outset
might deter many persons, who were rtaxaais to beennte sub
scribers, from subscribing at ell. Suchit result was, in his opi.
nion, any thing but desirable. The Committee would calcu.
late the es:pence, aid when they had obtained :t tool sufficient
to cover it, the Subscription might be stopped, ord'an announees
ment to that diet be made to the public' The Committee
Iseult; then re.ss.semble, and submit their plan to the snlv.
scribers. As all the membert of it belonged to the profestion
of the libw, perhaps tl:e Meeting would leave is to the dices
tion of the Connnittee to choose their omit secretary,
(Hear !).
No objection being made to any of the propositions ii,oved by
Ain Scariett. they were declared to, be retried.
Mr. SCAZIGVI T then reduced them into writing. Whilst he
was doing so, Broughani cane: to his side, and intimated
that he Wished hi? (Mr. Brougliam'Oname to be left nut of the
Committee. Mr. Searlett, in conseipience, omitted it in read.
ing the names over to the meeting; eta on being asked the
cause, replied that it was by
.Mr. Brougham's desire. The
name of Mr. Reader was substituted in Its place.
A Gentleman asked if Mr. Denman's name was upim thq
Committee.

CARLETT replied that It was not. Mr. Denman had
desired to have his name otnitzei, though he was at the saute
time most anxious to forward the object of the subscription.--:
(Hear, hear!)
' Another Gentleman moved, that the risme i°f Mr. Ateheson
should be added, and assigned as a reason th,lt ;1;. At heron
was Presitl4,t of the Metropolitan Law A tisoei
Atclieson's name was added accordingly, as tv.ls Oa° tl:e naiue
e Mr.-.Josetili Kay. •
Mr. SCAT:LETT observed, that it had been hitimated to hint
that he ought to announce, that as this plan had orginated with
the profession, the profession, though it would be
,oral to re.
ceica the aid anti assistrnce of the ptiblic,conriciered ibernselves
to be paying T.:tribute to Lord Erskine, not as a poblic, but 4
professional roan. Thry had nothing to do with his political
character. Though they did not refuse the subscription of any
man who gave it upon public grounds, still they wished it to
I,e known that timy not. ctrusW.er his Lordship's political
conduct, but the gre,it 01Q i;eneral urbanity, and the
unrivalled eloquent which be had displayed whilst at the bar,
and by witiv,ll hi ban improved, honoured, and adorned the
profession to which be belonged.—(Hear, hear !)
Alr.,Seantyrr then left The chair.
Mr. RA v?-.11 then called to it.--A Gentleman then moved,
without any preliminary observations, that the thanks of the
meeting be given to 31r. Scarlett for his excellent conduct in
the chair. _ _ _

The motion was seconded, anti carried by acclamation.
Mr. SCARLPITT, in returning thanks, observed, that it was
a great satisfaction to him toilers been placed in the chair upon
such an occasion,
The meeting then dissolved ; but before its-dissolution a con:
riderable sun was subscribed by the Gentlemen present.
