THE STEEP HOLMES.—This well-known
little island in the Bristol Channel, has lately been
purchased from the Corporation of Bristol, by C. K.
K. Tynte, Esq., M. P., who has built a cottage there
on a ledge in the cliff, and makes it a sort of half-way
house from Halswell (his seat in Somersetshire) to
Cefnmably, his ancient Glamorganshire residence.
The stones of this island being in great request for the
sea walls on Caldecot Level and the Monmouthshire
Moors, there is every probability of its turning out a
very profitable bargain. The Flat Holmes is the pro-
perty of the Marquis of Bute, and is in the parish of
St. Mary's, Cardiff.—Bristol Paper.

Country attorneys continue to advertise
themselves as having been appointed " to take ac-
knowledgments of the deeds of married women," so
that the fair sex seem likely to undergo a pretty ex-
tensive and strict confessional.

It having been asserted that the paragraph
(copied from the New Monthly Magazine) stating
that Mrs. Salmon, the celebrated singer, had become
reduced to penury, was without foundation, it is due
to the New Monthly Magazine to state, that in the
number for May it observes that the original assertion
is perfectly correct, and expresses a wish (in which we
cordially join) that the notice of Mrs. Salmon's distress
may have the effect of obtaining for her some substan-
tial relief.

BELGRAVE LITERARY and. SCIENTIFIC

INSTITUTION.

On Saturday last, a numerous and highly-respectable
meeting was held at the Pantechnicon, Belgrave-square,
for the purpose of establishing a new Literary and Scien-
tific Institution in Sloane-street, Chelsea. The Right
Hon. the Earl FITZWILLIAM presided, and there were
present on the platform—the Earl of DENBIGH, Captain
Lord BYRON, H. FLEETWOOD, Esq., M.P., W. EWART,
Esq., M.P., Professor LARDNER, L.L.D., Dr. A. T.
THOMPSON, Rev. Dr. MoalsoN, Rev. G. EVANS, &C.
Mr. S. C. HALL read the report of the Provisional
Committee, from which it appeared that this Institution
had been founded by the persevering efforts of Mr. JAMES
CooKE EVANS, a gentleman of great public spirit. An
extensive house in Sloane-street was taken for the pur-
poses of the Institution. There are lecture-rooms, read-
ing-rooms, private studies, a library, and a museum. To
the library the Rev. Dr. Moatsox had presented 200 vo-
lumes, and W. DILKE' Esq., a like number. Mr. DE
SANG had presented ahandscme mineral collection to the
museum. Professor LARDNEK had volunteered to give

President, and the Duke of SUSSEX that of Patron.
Several speeches were made by the eminent individuals
present in support of the objects of the Institution, in com-
pliment to the founder, and the high patronage under the
auspices of which it has commenced.
