THE APOLLO TROOP-SHIP.-PLYMOUTH, JULY 2.
..The brigantine Spartan, from Newfoundland, put in here yes-
terday, left the 17th of June. Captain Shapcott states that he
arrived at St. John's on the 29th of May, and up to the time of his
departure heard nothing of the reported loss of the Apollo troop-
ship. The following. moreover, is an extract from a private letter,
dated Quebec, June 12 :—" The Apollo Is not yet arrived, but she
is reported to have been seen in the river."

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE MANCHESTER AND
LEEDS RAILWAY STATION.—On Thursday afternoon, a man named
Josiah Purton, in the service of the Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way Company, was crushed between the buffers of two luggage
waggons, at the Oldham road station, and died within half an how
afterwards. He was forty-four years of age, and has left a widow
and five children. At the inquest, which was held before Mr.
Chapman on Friday, a verdict of " Accidental death" was recorded.

According to accounts from Naples, of the 18th
ult., a new eruption of Vesuvius was daily expected. Some Raines
had already been seen, and a slight Sow of lava bad taken place in
the direction of Naples.

MADAME SOYER.—That beautiful monument last
year erected to the memory of that lamented artist, the late
Madame Soyer, has lately been embellished with a most
superb arid extraordinary railing, which for elegance and
simplicity is quite unique in that branch of art ; it incloses
48 square feet of ground, and yet there is not a straight line'
to be found in it, being composed of four large scrolls or S's,
about 11 feet long, and although each scroll must weigh
from six to seven hundred weight, it lightly rests upon.
two small iron balls, which scarcely occupy a square inch ofo
stone. At each end they are almost imperceptibly fixed to
four splendid- cornucopias, one of which stands at each corne
r
gracefully pourir.g out flowers splendidly executed _bronze,
and in the centre of each -scroli is the name, Emma. Soyer,
written in the same style that • artist used to sign her pamt.-
ings ; the only other writing is on the _
monument, ands
merely the words " To Her."
Allegorically, it appears that
the four scrolls or S's are at rest, like her who lays below,
whilst the name in the centre, from the manner in which it
is placed, appears like her fame, to be rising to immortality.'
The cornucopias
give us the beautiful idea of reviving
amongst flowers' and they themselves remind us of the
shortness of human life, for at the top of the cornucopias they
appear in bud, a little loWer is the opening flower', again
lower they are in full bloom and ready to drop, whilst some
few lying on the ground remind us that all must fade. Upon
inquiry we learn that the design of this beautiful piece of
workmanship, like the sculpture, is by Mr. Soyer, of the Re-
form Club, husband of the deceased. The model was cut in•
wood by Rogers, our modern Gibbons, who has been ap-
pointed by Government to execute the• wood carvings in the
new Houses of Parliament. The casting, which is as perfect
and clean as if it was all bronze, is by Mr. Wilkinson, of the
Quadrant, and reflects The greatest credit upon that gentle-
man. In a niche at the back of the monument, behind otk
sheet of plate glass, is the palette and 'brushes of the artist,'
the colour remaining on the palette as left by her the morn—
ing previous to her death, she being then in perfect health.
