FOR ME SUN.

EDITOR,—The Proprietors
.of the new
bridge, contiguous to your office, are, according
to report, indebted to Mr. KENIELE for the idea
of naming it after the never-to-be-torgotten
tory at WATERLOO. A victory which is every day
more forcibly felt in its consequences, for having
crushed the " Child and Champion" of Tyranny, •
thereby giving repose to the nations of Europe,
and a release, from the greatest despot that ever
existed. But wh.ile the victory will thus be hand-
ed down to posterity, and none of our descend-
ants pass o'er old father Thames without a thought
of WATERLOO, there seems •a deficiency in com-
memorating the heroby whose matchless 'valour
and consummate skill this greateSt of all victories
was stchieved. It is evident that many new
streets must be formed, leading to and from this
elegant and convenient structure, and I therefore
recommend strongly to the noqce of the Company
the great propriety of some streets bearing the
names of tam) a WELLast.sv Duke of
WLLLINOTON,, and if" possible they should be so
formed that WaTgaLoo, may be in the middle.
1 am-aware that many persons will sty this bears
a great resemblance to the streets in York Build-
hip, but if it wasl then considered proper to name
them after the licentious Geonos Viwess, Duke
pf BLICKIN7,3HAtI/41, is it hot more decorous, just,
and praise-Worthy, that the name of our invinci-
ble hero should he given to future ages, near to
that stupendous and matchless piece of architec- •
tore, bearing the name of the spot on which lie
vanqiiished despotibm. 1 trust my suggestion
will meet with attention, as no situation can be
so admirable for a combination of the hero's

names as the one pointed out.—lt would prove
publicly advantageous under many circum-
stances, were a communication between the
northern part of' the town and WATint.oo
bridge effected, and which, without much
trouble, could easily be accomplished by an open-
ing facing the bridge In Charles-street, and from
thence in a direct line through Bow-street to the
end of Tottenham-ceurt-road. This proposal is
worth attention.

PUBLIC ORATORY.—Mr. OGILVIE, a' native of
Scotland, who has for many years enjoyed a high
reputation throughout the United Sillies of Ame-
rica, for public recitatirins of his own composition
on subjectsof interest and iniportanee to mankind,
delivered an Oration on Saturday last, at Free-
'llll4lloll6l Hall, on DUELLING. HE treated the
subject as 'a rhilospher and a Moralist, as well as
viewed it in a religious light, and in all proved it
to be absurd and barbarous, as well es sacrile-
gious. The Discourse was Mitigated by refer-
ence to History, and was characterised by dig-
nity of sentiment, force of argument, and ele-
gance .of composition, It was delivered with
great fervour and energy, and made a strong im-
pression on the audience, by whom it was much
applauded, as also was his recitation of an ap-
propriate passage from The Lay of the Last,
Minstrel, and GRAY'S 1102/1 to Adversity. Mr.
OGILVIE is, we understand, the son of a Caledo-
nian Bard, who passed with honour through the
critical ordeal of Dr.JOHNSON. lie left America,
we find, on account of ill-health.

and inadvertently trod on 'the spring, when the
