MONUMENT TO SIR DAVID

WILKIE.

The monument to Sir David Wilkie is now erected in
the church of Cults. It is truly an exquisite work of
art. So striking is the likeness, that many of the pa-
rishioners who have seen it discovered at once the fea-
tures of the man whom it is designed to represent. The
inscription is as follows :

Sacred to the memory of
SIR DAVID WILKIE, R.A.,
Principal Painter in Ordinary in England, and
Limner for Scotland,
To King George IV., King William IV., and Queen
Victoria—
Born at Cults, 18th of November, 1785 ;
died Ist June, 1841 ; buried at sea, off Cape Trafalgar.
As the painter of domestic scenes, his works were the
ornament alike of the palace and the cottage.
Through life he was guided and animated by those
sacred principles to which he had often listened
when a boy in this place,
from a Father's lips.
In order to acquire the accurate means of illustrating by
his art the history of our Saviour,
he departed for the Holy Land, and died on the
homeward voyage.
This tablet is erected by his affectionate sister in 1844.
Sir David is placed on the east, and the monument to
his father and mother by Chantrey on the west of the
pulpit—each of them within a few inches of it.—Fife

* The vote given by Mr. Drax on Friday against Mr.
Miles's amendment has been stated by that gentleman to
have been unintentional.

A letter from Mr. G. S. Smythe, explains that the
official list is incorrect in attributing to him a defection from
Mr. Miles.

Colonel Gore Langton paired off with Mr. Charles Wynn
on Friday night in favour of Mr. Miles's motion.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR.,—To those who know that I have had something
to do with the Court Gazette, and yet know not what, I
beg to state that since three months ago I have been
assisting the publisher in the advertisement department,
quite unknown to the editors and proprietors of what
country I was ; the employment, having no connexion
whatever with the press, I undertook upon the ground
of the sympathy which that paper showed sometimes to
the cause of Poland. The article published on the Sa-
turday before last, on account of the arrival of the Em-
peror of Russia, bears quite a different character, being
written entirely in prejudice to the Poles. However,
though the account might be differently viewed by many,
yet what belongs individually to me, the circumstance is
sufficient to interdict me anything whatever to have to
do In the above office, and to resign the employment di-
rectly. Having done so, I hope you will appreciate my
motives, and therefore not refuse to allow publicity to
my present statement through the medium of your co-
lumns.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
June 14, 1844. FERDINAND BIELINSKL
