SUDDEN DEATH.-On Wednesday morning las
Mr. Chapman, linendraper, of Seymour-street, Somers
town, who had been to make some inquiries at the Lon
den and Birmingham Railway station as to the time of
starting of the trains, by N% hich he had intended to pro-
ceed into the country, had scarcely reentered his own
door, when he was seized with sudden illness, and died in
a few minutes, leaving a widow and seven children.
ROYAL SOCIETY OF ARTS.—Thursday this insti-
tution, in John-street, Adelphi, was closed, in order that
some repairs may be effected in the building, and no time
has been appointed for its re-openir g.
TriE WELLINGTON STATUE.—Wednesday evening
at high water, a Government barge from the Royal
Arsenal, at Woolwich, was moored at Grosvenor-wharf,
Milbank, where there is a powerful crane, having on
board the leviathan carriage which has been purposely
made to convoy the statue of the Duke of Wellington
from the artist's to its place of destination. The car-
riage has excited a greet deal of curiosity. It weighs
about sixteen tons, and is made of iron. The wheels are
twelve feet high, beautifully cast, but with every atten-
tion paid to strength.
KINDNESS OF HER, ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS
OF KENT.—A few days since, on the morning of the day
the 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards left Windsor
for the Tower, the wife of a sergeant, named Robinson,
with an infant six weeks old, was thrown from one of
the baggage waggons, as it was proceeding from Windsor
to London. The infant was unfortunately, killed, and
the woman so seriously injured that she was conveyed
to the Hope Inn, at Frogmore, near to which the unfor-
tunate accident occurred, where she was compelled to
remain for several days. Intimation of the lamentable
occurrence having reached the Duchess of Kent, her
Royal Highness immediately sent Lady Couper to Mr.
Byles, the proprietor of the Hope Inn, with instructions
that the poor woman was to have every necessary com-
fort and accommodation provided for her at the Duchess's
expense, so long as she might be compelled to remain,
and that the professional services of Mr. Holdernoss,
surgeon, of Windsor, would also be defrayed by her
Royal Highness. Mr. Tebbott, undertaker, of Windsor,
likewise received instructions to conduct the funeral of
the deceased child, the expense of which was defrayed by
the Duchess. The remuneration made to each party by
coramand of her Royal Highness, through the medium
of Lady Couper, was extremely liberal. The poor
woman, who has since been enabled to leave Frogmore
to join her husband at the Tower, has expressed herself
deeply grateful for the kind benevolence manifested
towards her by the Duchess of Kent.
CHEee.—A match of chess is now going on between
Messrs. Staunton and Al. Ilarrwilz, two of the most cele-
brated chessmen in Europe. The match excites much
interest among the chess-playing world.
DISEASE AMONG PIGEONS.—In the course of the
last fortnight a great number of pigeons about London,
especially on the Surrey side of the water, have died
from a peculiar disease.
