THE LEIGII IIUN7 MEMORIAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—As most statements have two sides to them,
permit me in your columns to make mine with refe-
rence to your leading article and the Leigh Hunt

Memorial.

The design first given by me to Mr. S. C. llall,
who originated the memorial, was to cost 100
guineas, not £l2O. Mr. Hall said that it could not
be done for the money. My reply was, " Yes, it
can ; for I desire no gain from it."
Mr. Hall collected some £6O or £7O, and for a
time it went into abeyance, and was at length re-
newed by Mr. Mayer. Altogether nearly £220 was
subscribed.

At the meeting you name, the original drawing
was apon the table, and I was asked what would
remunerate me now that there was money enough.
I said £l5O, and a resolution was passed accept-
ing it at that sum. Then came a ques-
tion about the grave : the family gave it up
to the committee, and more ground was purchased ;
instead of 2 feet 6 inches by 6 feet, it became 7 feet
6 inches Equare.
I then proposed to the committee that the Memo
rial should stand iu the centre of this, upon a large
marble base, and so isolate it, instead of its being
in a line with the tombstones.

That which now occupies the centre is the origi-
nal design.
Next, it was thought it ought to be railed in. I
obtained a drawing from Mr MTharlaine, of Glas-
gow, laid it before the committee, and they approved
of it. That implied a necessity for foundations,
kerb, &c. Now the committee knew all this, step
by step; and can any one understand more than 1
did, that it was all included in the £l5O ?

I enclosed to the treasurer a list of every sepa-
rate item I had paid, and told bias I would bring
all the receipts with me to the final committee
meeting. You desire to know if, when I pre-
sented the bill, I felt " shame-faced." I atsure
you I did not ; when men believe they act honestly
they never do.

I, however, confess an error, as a member present
remarked, I ought to have had a resolution passed
for each addition to the memorial. I only thought
it was to be made as good as it could with the
funds in hand, but I never dreamed that the trea-
surer's account would absorb nearly as much money
as that required to give the memorial ten times the
importance it otherwise would have had.
Let me say, not one sixpence of these extras
came into my pocket for all the time and care given
to it, and when I found how small the balance was
I offered to hand the treasurer the receipts and de-
liver up my claim, which several members of the
committee would not permit me to do.

How could I be " shamefaced ?"
There is another error in your remarks—that the
treasurer has washed his hands of the affair. That
cannot be, for on Monday I received a letter from
him. He says—" We are not satisfied." I don't
know who " we" are. Certainly not the committee.
Then again he says—" You must comply with my
request," which is as follows :—" We require (1)
the vouchers for all the sums you have paid out of
the £l5O, as well as for the items comprising the
£4l 12s. Gd., and (2) a statement from you ; how
much of the £l5O you regard as payment for
your own labour."
Now this request is as if you asked a painter
the cost of his canvas, brushes, colours, &c., in
your estimate of the work.
The public may now judge of the Memorial as it
stands in the cemetery. The centre portion repre-
sents the original design, which was to cost £l5O ;
and all else in sight, and foundations underground,
including the cost of enlarging the space, represent
an expenditure of £4l ; and as by this letter the
public will know the exact cost of the Leigh Hunt
Memorial, viz., £l9l, it is as well to state that I
would not produce in future any such work under
280 guineas.—Your obedient servant,
JOSEPH DURHA3I.

In the important case under argument in the
United States Circuit Court at Baltimore, at the suit of
creditors of a bankrupt firm against the three National
banks, on the ground that the banks had discounted to
the firm four times as much as they had authority to do
under the law, namely, $BOO,OOO whereas they should have
loaned it but $200,000, the difference, $600,000 or rather the
securities left with the banks to secure the payment of that
amount, the bankrupts' creditors contend should be sur-
rendered to them. The banks contend in defence that,
admitting their loans were in excess of the limits pre-
scribed by the National Banking law, their title to the se-
curities pledged with them, and upon the faith of which
the loans were made, would not be affected thereby ; that
the penalties for a violation of the law, if any has been
committed, are fixed by the law itself, and can only be en-
forced by the Comptroller of the Currency, in a suit in his
own name, and that least of all can the parties to whom the
loans were made, or those claiming under them, come into
Court after having received the loans and demand back the
securities. The case has been elaborately and ably argued
by a host of legal talent, the concluding argument having
been made yesterday by Hon. Reverdy Johnson.--Phila-
delphia Ledger.
LADVicaTisEmitifT. J—Avoid Medicines: they always aggravate
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring
Revalenta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish-
mentof the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies,
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional re
gularity, anti energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We ex
tract a few out of the 63,000 cures:—" The Pope's health restored
by Du Barry's Food. Cure No. 63,413. "Rome, July 21, 186 G.
—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since
abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely
to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Ford, of which he consume'
a plateful at eveey meal. It hais procii,eed a surprisingly bene
ficial effect on WS health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel
lent food too highly. From the "Gazette du Midi, July 25 Cure
No. 58,216, of the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' lives
complaint, wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous
palpitation all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and
the most intolerable nervous agitation.." Cure No. 1,771; Lord
Stuart de Decies, Lord Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years'

unsavoury and more than sloppy imitations to which, without
authority, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached.
