THE LATE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—It is in-
tended to erect a monument to the late Marquis of Water-
ford, and the subject has been referred to the Earl of Howth,
Lord St. Lawrence, and Lord Ingestre. One idea that has
been suggested is the erection of a bronze equestrian statue,
which would cost about £1,500, in the demesne of Curragh-
more. Another is, erecting such a monument in the centre
of the People's-park, in this city ; while a third is to imi-
tate the example lately set in the Wellington memorial, and
raise funds to build and endow an institution for the relief
of jockeys or huntsmen who are disabled by accident, or
overtaken by old age. Which of the three will be adopted
we are not as yet informed, but the latter would be morn
consonant with the spirit of the age.— Waterford Mail.
THE GOVERNORSHIP OF NEWGATE.—In conse-
quence of the transference of l‘frt Welitherhead from the
governorship of Newgate Prime-WAlitt.,ll Holloway, the
former appointment has btetill?cnireilldneant. There are
two candidates at present in Aborleickinamely, Mr. Jonas,
of the paper department at Newgate, and Mr. William
James Mitchell, one of the city police superintendents.

REMINISCENCES OF WILLIAM PITT.—In the obi-
tuary of last week was recorded the death of Mr. John Bur
field, of Deal, formerly gardener, aged 88 years. In early
lite he had in this capacity lived at Wahner Castle, during
its occupancy by Mr. Pitt, then Prime Minister, of whom
the old man would relate many interesting anecdotes. On
being admitted to the household ho was apprised that his
bedroom was so situated that he would probably be dis-
turbed by the sounds sometimes to be heard from his mas-
ter's chambers, of which he soon had audible proof. Dur-
hllasrplaemparenat-.
ing the silent hours of darkness the great man would rise
from his repose, and pacing his room, appear to be deliver-
ingion ,in all pr a sP

The gardens at the rear of the castle were at. this time newly

laid out, Mr. Pitt taking much interest. in the alteration,
he would become absent, walkingto and fro for some
time in silence, and then (as one aroused from a reverie)
resume his superintendence, inquiring what he had last
planned. During such intervals Burfield never ventured
to disturb his master by an inquiry. Trivial as are these
incidents, they show that the highest position and the most
extended influence cannot be enjoyed without vast and all-
absorbing cares. " Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown," and not less so his who administers the affairs of a
great empire.—Kent Herald.

Thursday, on a charge of stealing a watch. On Friday
morning ho was discovered han • ging by means of the strap
of his hammock from the water pipe in his cell. It was
proved in evidence that his father and sister had been in a
lunatic asylum, and he had been frequently treated for deli-
rium tremens after drinking to excess. It was believed he
took the watch while in an insane state in a public-house,
for which offence he was committed. Verdict, "Temporary
insanity."
CATTLE FROM THE NORTH OF EUROPE.—An
effort has been made during the last few days to dispose of
the Lowestoft property of the North of Europe Ste,am Naviga-
tion Company, but there was no bidding for the factory and
adjoining premises. The Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany purchased, however, the cattle sheds of the company
for 2,600 guineas ; and it is understood that the importations
of cattle from the north .of Europe will be resumed at the
port during the ensuing summer.
