in compliance with the wishes of the cavalry and infantry
corps under my command, I am arranging a" march out"
to Wimbledon-common on Easter Monday ; and that,
should any corps remaining in London on that day be dis
posed to join us, I shall be extremely happy to cooperate
with their commanding officers with a view to that effect.
DEATH OF THE STATE EXECUTIONER.--John
Lund, late Grenadier Guards, died on Wednesday last. He
held the appointment for many years as headsman at the
Tower of London, who'se duty it was to decapitate all state
criminals. This sinecure is in the gift of the constable,-but
most likely the situation will be abolished, as in the case of
the gentleman yeoman porter on the death of Mr. Murray.
The last state execution took place in 1746, at the time of
the Scotch rebellion. The salary is £BO per annum, with
an excellent house. Mr. Lund was only seen at the Tower
when the half-yearly muster took place, and had his posi-
tion on the right of the warden, with a large bright hatchet
on his shoulder.— United Service Gazotte.
THE TURN-OUT AND WAGES MOVEMENT AT
BOLTON.—There appears at present little probability that

lout amongst the operative spinners and other branches of
the factory hands.

THE BERKELEY PEERAGE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received a
letter from Lord Brougham, requesting him to explain the
cause of his absence when the decision was given in the
Berkeley peerage. His learned friend stated that the rea-
son he was not present was that when he was at the bar
he was concerned for the first claimant to the peerage. The
noble and learned lord quite agreed in the decision that had
been given.
