MR. JOHN DICHENI3.—We regret to have to so'
stounce the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Jobe
Dickens, of the Daily News, an.. father of the celebrated no'
velist. Mr. Dickens was in his 66th year. He formerly hell
a 'situation in the Navy Pay-office, but had long devotee
himself to journalism—principally in the reporting depart'
ments. For some time Mr. John Dickens was connected
with the Mirror of Parliament, when edited by a relative 0(
his own. He afterwards retired to the neighbourhood of
Exeter, from which he arrived in town to take part in the
establiAment of the Daily News. Of course the greater
part of the public interest which attaches to the memory of
the late gentleman radiates from the fame of his illustrious
son ; but, personally, Mr. John ickens enjoyed throughout
his long life the esteem and respect of a wide circle of friend&
Possessed of great energy of character, thorough business
habits, a fine literary appreciation, and a perfect savoir faire
in the practical management of an important department is
London journalism, Mr. Dickens's removal will be felt as s
wide blank and an irremediable misfortune in the extensive
and respectable sphere within which his energies were di-
rected, and in which his worth and many sterling qualities
were known.

THE MARBLE Ancn.—On Saturday the re•erection
of the marble arch at Cumberland gate was completed, and
in the course of the week the carriage drive will be opened
to the public. The blocks of marble of which the arch ie
composed have all been fresh polished, and the structure bee
altogether a very chaste appearance. The upper part of the
arch has I- een on tructed as a police-station, and will con-
tain a reserve of men.

Miss TAL80T.....
the paragraph We are authorised to state that
which has appeared in several of the public
journals, and our own among the number, to the effect that
Miss Talbot is to be confided by the Lord Chancellor to the
guardianship of the Duchess of Norfolk is not correct. Her
Grace is sister to the Duke of Sutherland, and though her
husband is a zealous Roman Catholic, she is a staunch Pro-
testant.— Advertiser.
