WORKING MAN'zi MONUMENT
TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sts,-1 am anxious to convey to the public the
fact, that as well as the long list of trustees we have
obtained to the above cause, the names of the Earl of
Aberdeen, Lord Cornwallis, Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr.
Cubitt, .P., the Earl of Denbigh, the Marquis of
Donegal, Lord Dunfermline, and Mr. Duncombe,
M.P., have been received as patrons, with their very
warm wishes for the complete success of the mea-
sure.—l am Sir, Yours faithfully,
JOHN DOWNES, Hon. Sec.
Committee-rooms, Belvidere Hotel, I entonville,
London,
.July 11, 1850.
On Wednesday morning,. Mr. John Barber, the
registrar of coal-whippers of the port of London,
waited upon Mr. Gladstone, M.P., with 10/., col-
lected in pence, the subscription of the registered
coal-whippers towards raising a fund for defray-
ing the expenses of a national monument to
the memory of Sir Robert Peel. Every
registered coal-whipper gave his penny as a
token of gratitude for the services rendered to the
country by the late gifted statesman, who had ena-
bled them to obtain cheap bread. Mr.:Gladstone re-
ceived the penny subscriptions of the coal-whippers
with much plensure, and assured Mr. Barber he
should not fail to name the subject at the general
meeting to be held at the London Tavern.

IMPROVED ORDER OF OLD PRIENDS.—On Mon-
day lag the anniversary of this social and provident body was
celebrated at the Copenhagen /louse' Islington, when a very
numerous party of the members and their friends sat down
to a splendid dinner, which reflected great credit to Mr.
Garratt, the worthy host, and gave much satisfaction.
Brady, Esq., presided as chairman, and was supported by
some of the must influential members of the order. Atter the
cloth was withdrawn, and the customary loyal toasts had
beau given, the Chairman gave " Prosperity to the Improved
Order of Old Friends," which was received with much cheer-
ing. Then followed "Tae Memory of Sir Robert Peel,"
drunk with silence. Afterwards the Chairman, in a few but
appropriate words, proposed "The Metropolitan Benefit Socie-
ties Asylum," which drew from Mr. W. J. Cute some
lengthened observations, which were listened to with much
attention, and at their close elicited great applau.e. The
company then adjourned to the beautiful gardens until
the evening, when a ball took place, and was attended by a
large assemblage of ladies. Tne greatest conviviality and
g,,od feeling was kept up till a late hour.
William Penn and Thomas Story once sheltered
themselves from a shower of rain in a tobacco-house, the
owner of which said to them, " You enter without leave.
hio you knew who lam ? lam a justice of the peace." To
which Story replied, " My friend, here, makes such things as
thauolle iraCivvonAvcg roujoyivalaia."

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The reprise of La 7'enipestci• and the only appear.
ance on the stage of Madame Pasta ; such were the
aunouncements of the programme for last even-
ing at Her Majesty's Theatre, and the
crowd at the doors, the crush to get in, and
the cram when in, fully equalled the crush,
the crowd, and the cram of the most crowded of
the Jenny Lied nights. Every portion of the theatre
in which it was possible to hear the music was we
cupied before the rising of the curtain, and we are
certain that there must have been many who, from
the crowded state of the house, could not have
had a glimpse of the stage during the whole
evening. Carlotta Gri.i, whose engagement termi-
nated a few evenings since, in consequence of which
the run of La Tempesta was interrupted, has been
persuaded to renew it for the remainder of the season.
Lust night was the conunencement of her re-engage-
went, and never did she appear more lively, more airy,
more graceful, more fascinating, more ek.riei-like, in a
word, than she did last evening. Sontag was in ex•
cellent voice, and sang the rnuic of Miranda with a
flute-like sweetness, and with an accuracy of intone-
-1 tion, and a brilliancy of execution, that has never
been approached. Lablache was as wonderful
as ever as Caliban, and Parodi sang the
Brindisi with a gusto and an abandon
that secured for her an enthusiastic encore. The
several perforiners, chorus. singers, end musicians are
';
now well up in their respective parts, and the opera
acts as close as possible. I was performed last
night in a manner that may, without exag-
geration, be designated as absolutely per-
reef, and the enthusiastic applause which it
elicited proved that its popularity is still on the in-
crease. All the artistes were frequently called for
during the course of the performance. After the
opera there was a divertissement, in which Amelia
Ferraris excited a perfect furore by the
performance of her terpsichorean Wonders.
and then came the grand event of the evening, the
re-appearance, for one night only, of Madame Pasta,
in the scene of her former triumphs. We: had been
prepared to make great allowances for the ravages
which time must, as we imagined, have made in the
persoOmd in the voice of the:Queen of Lyric Tragedy,
but there was no need of such allowances, time has
dealt kindly by Madame Pasta, the majestic form is
as queen-like as ever, the features still retain their
mobility and expression, and are still the obedient expo-
nents of the inspiration of genius ; it is in the voice alone
that the ravages of time are perceptible and even the
voice has not suffered to the extent to which .it might
naturally have been expected it would have suffered.
A diminution of power in the upper notes, and a conse-
quent defect of intonation whenever the voice
is forced, is the only perceptible defect ;
but the middle and low notes are as rich, as expres-
sive, as effective as ever. The scenes chosen for her
appearance were the prison scene in Anna Bolena
and the finale to the opera. Never have we
seen anything more majestically pathetic than ber
acting in those scenes. There is no one
on the stage who ever has approached, or who can
even now approach, her in the expression of queen-
like dignity and lofty majesty; the recitative was
rendered with a power that reminded one of the
Madame Pasta of former days; and, making allowance
for the defect of intonation in the upper notes,
the vocalization was wonderful. The Anna Bolena
of Madame Pasta, considered as a histrionic perform-
ance, was the most perfect example of lofty and
tragic conception perfectly carried out that
we have ever seen—it was unapproachable in
its excellence. She was admirably supportedby her
favourite pupil, Madile. Parodi, upon whom her
mantle has descended, and who sustained the part of
Jane Seymour. The applause was enthusiastic
throughout. Madame Pasta was twice recalled,
and retired loaded with bouquets. The house was
crowded.

Amongst the distinguished visitors were—the Duke of
Devonshire, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland and
Lady Augusta Poulet, the Prince Troubetzkoi, his
Excellency the Russian Minister, the Baroness Bru-
now, Mdlle. Olga de Lechner, Mr. Blackburne and

DIRECT BIRMINGHAM, OXFORD, READING, 'AND
BRIGHTON RatLwar.—On Tuesday, the 9th, and Thursday,
the ktb. inst., Master Brougham proceeded, under the Wind•
ing-up Acts, to settle the list of contributories in this com-
pany as far as respected the defaulting allottees. The list of
this class, prepared by the official manager, Mr. James Hut-
ton, comprised upwards of 2,500 individuals, and the Master
appointed 500 cases for hearing on each of these day% and it
being considered inconvenient to bring such a large number
of persons to the chambers of the Master in Southampton.
buildings, leave was obtained to sit on the days appointed in
the court of the Vice-Chancellor, Sir James Wigratn, in
Lincoln's Inn. This is the firs instance of the Master in
Chancery sitting in this court under the Winding•up Acts.
The cases presented the g,neral features of the railway allot-
ments at the period of October, 1845, when the panic took
place ; out of a very large amount of shares allotted the de-
posits of scarcely one-twentieth part were paid, and the allot-
tees of the remainder it was now sought, by the operation of
the Winding-up Act, to make liable to contribute towards the
expenses incurred in the formation of the company. On
Tuesday the Master settled 300 cases, and on Thursday he
succeeded in disposing of 500 more; the remainder of the list
will be proceeded with on Saturday, the 13th, and en the
18th, 19th, and 20th.

LOSS BY FIRE or THE AMERICAN STEAMER
GRIFFITH, AND DREADFUL Loss OF LIFE.—We regret
to state that accounts have arrived in England of
the total loss by fire of the American Steamer
Griffith in Lake Erie on the 16th of last month,
with a large party of British emigrants on board,
the lives of most of whom fed a prey to the devouring-ele-
ments of fire and water. It appears that the Welleaden
American emigrant-ship left London en the ith of May with
emigrants, princ:paby tom Cambridgeshire and the adjoin-
ing counties, and after one of the quickest voyages on record,
reached New York on the 26th of that month. Upwards of
200 of the emigrants proceeded up the Hudson River and
leached Lake Erie on the 14th June. They then engaged a
passage across the Lake in the Griffith steamer, and at about
three A.m. on the 16th, when they had reached within thirty
miles of their testination, a fire broke out in the stern of the
ship which baffled all the efforts of the crew and the emigrants
t subdue it. The captain then made an effort to run 'the
ship ashore, which, as far as the security of the lives of the
passengers was concerned, wai favoured by the wind keeping
the flames clear of the head of the vessel, and enabling the
bulk ~f the passengers to take shelter there. 'lke vessel had
reached within half a mile of the shore, when it struck on a
sand-bank, having nine feet of water upon it. The entire
ship became instantly enveloped in flames, and as the only
remaiuing hope of escape such of the passengers and crew as had
not been burnt, were obliged to leap overboard. Some few
reached the shore, but the rest met with a watery grave.
The numbers lust have been variously stated at from 169 te
200. Of thirty persons from a village near Ely (men, women
and children), only three were saved. One person lost his
wife, two children, and his mother, and has sent an account
of the melancholy disaster to his friends in England.
THE MONEY-TAKERS IN THE CHURCHES. —A.
visitor to Stratford-on-Avon Church and Shakspere's Tomb
complains that although "the 'living' is a much more
lucrative one than that of thousands of working and learned
clergymen," the parish clerk is allowed to extract aixpence
each as his demanded charge from visitors to the church,
under pretence that " he receives no salary or other emolu-
ment." The complainant suggests that the exhibitor " ought
at least to follow the example of other showmen by admitting
children at half-price, and taking the money at the door
before the exhibition commences." He should be thankful,
however, that in the exhibition of the real tomb of so no-
torious a character as Shakspere, in so interesting a church
as Stratford-on-Avon, he was subjected to "no extra charge"
whatever, such as Madame Tussaud would undoubtedly have
exacted, on the Chamber of Horrors principle, could she
have got hold of the genuine article before she went herself,
poor lady, " down among the dead men." As to half-price,
we do not believe that even in the great twopenny exhibition
of St. Paul's, children have any such privilege. Why should
they have it at Stratford-on-Avon, therefore, since the great
central model establishment looks so respectfully down upon
the rising generetion us but so many little men and women,
evert though all at the "small charge of twopeuce"overhead?
