REREAS, a PETITION of CHARLES
• THOMSON, formerly of 114, Aldersgate-street, in the
parish of Aldersgate, and City of London, and now of 87,
Aldersgate-street, aforesaid, surgeon, and medical practitioner,
having been filed in the Court of Bankruptcy, and the interim order
for protection from process having been given to the said Charles
Thomson, under the provisions of an Act of Parliament passed in the
Parliament holden in the fifth and sixth years of the reign of her
present Majesty, intituled " An Act for the Relief of Insolvent
Debtors," the said Charles Thomson is hereby required to appear In
Court, before Edward Ilolroyd, Esq.. the Commissioner acting in the
matter of the said petition, on the 30th day of July inst., at half-past
twelve o'clock in the afternoon precisely, at the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, Basinghall-street, London, for the purpose of being then
and there examined touching his debts, estate, and effects, and to be
further dealt with accordbag to the provisions of the said Act. All
persons indebted to the said Charles Thomson, or that have any
of his effects, are not to pay or deliver the same but to Mr. Groom,
the official assignee, No. 12, Abchurch-lane, Lombard-street, nomi-
nated in that behalf by the Commissioner acting in the matter of the
said petition. JAMES JOHNSTONE, Messenger.

recommending the inhabitants to make holiday as far as pos-
sible to-morrow, and thus allow those in their employment to
visit Southampton and its agricultural wonders.
A'bazaar, for the benefit of the Hants Infirmary, is being
held. during the continuance of the show. The Duke of Cam-
bridge visited it this morning. The theatre is open under
an amateur management, but is not making a very bounti-
ful karvt,st. Even the attractions of Speed the Plough have
proved insufficient to prevent a " beggarly account of empty
boxes:" We do not know whether the beasts in the mena-
geries and in Mr. Van Amburgh's establishment have had
more luck than the legitimate drama, but they could scarcely
have had worse.

FMPLOYMENT.—Persons having a little time
to spare are apprised that Agents continue to be appointed in
London, and country towns, by the EAST INDIA TEA COMPANY,'
or the sale of their celebrated teas.

Guano next year would be cheaper than any other manure
in the world. It would never be so cheap again.—(Hear,
hear.) He entreated them to lay in a stock, and only to put
it upon the ground in wet weather. He hoped that next
year they would all manure with guano, and they would
soon be convinced of its wonderful effects. They must not,
however, expect the effect of guano to last more than one
year, but if they found it to pay one year, they ought to re-
peat the experiment the next season.—(Hear, hear.) The
Learned Gentleman concluded by expressing his gratitude
for the honour done to him by the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to read the awards of the
judges of stock, as subjoined :
At the conclusion of the reading of that part of the award
relating to cattle, the Chairman jocularly remarked that lie
thought they would all be the better for a glass of wine. He
therefore begged to propose, " Success to the competitors in
cattle."

Stirring and sprightly as the town is during the day, it is
almost still more so at night. The heat during the sunny
hours is quite overwhelming, but in the cool of the evening
people appear really to enjoy themselves. The pier last night
was crowded with promenaders inhaling the fresh breeze—
and the picturesque irregular old high street, sparkling with
lights, and almost overhung with flags—every window open
and crowded with loungers—the pavement covered with
groups chatting, laughing, and recalling the scenes of the
day,
_made up, as may be imagined, a really lively and plea-
sant sight. Passing over Houndwell, in the dusk of last
evening, we observed an itinerant preacher holding forth at
a great rate, surrounded by an auditory who appeared to be
veryinuch in doubt whether to listen or laugh, and ended
by doing both. The orator was inveighing against the show,
as being one of the abominations alluded to somewhere in the
prophecies.
Leaving this recondite expositor of theology, we found it
more pleasant to listen to the number of street bands—good,
bad, and indifferent, which were performing at every corner.
Southampton is very musical, as well as very agricultural, at
this present moment. Every species of peripatetic organ ever
built appeared last night to be in full grind, and it was late
before the usually quiet town settled down into its ordinary
state-of nocturnal tranquillity.
The Council dinner takes place in the Archery-rooms, at
five o'clock.

The Pavilion is being rapidly fitted up for the greet banquet
to-morrow. It is almost impossible to give,- with any-
thing like exactness, a list of the names of the company pre-
sent. They include a great number of our nobility and
scientific agricultural men.

AGRICULI URE, COMMERCE, NAVIcATION, THE
_ . ____ _ CHURCH.

MEETING FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING
AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

A public meeting for the above purpose was held at the
Freemasons' Hall, at two o'clock. The attendance was nut
very numerous, which indeed was to be expected, as most of
the agricultural visitors were engaged in the implement yard.
What, however, the meeting lacked in point of numbers, was
made up by the great respectability of the parties present,
among whom were the Duke of Richmond, Lord Ducie, Mr.
Pusey, M.P.; Mr. Escott, M.P., Oxford; Professor Playfair,
Mr. Goddard, Dr. Buckland, Dr. Daubeny, &c.
. .

The chair was taken by Mr. PUSHY, WITO briefly stated the
object of the meeting, and pointed out the advantage that
would accrue to the agriculturist from the establishing such
a college. The project had been taken up by many of the
leading agriculturists, not only in the immediate district in
which it was intended to establish the college, but in other
and distant counties. Lord Bathurst had, in addition to pro-
viding a suitable farm of 400 acres, on which the college and
other buildings were to-be erected, advanced 2,000/. in fur-
therance of the object.—(Cheers.)
The Duke of RICHMOND, in proposing the first resolution,
said that he appeared before them not as a member of the
Royal Agricultural Association, for the rules of that Society
precluded the members from interfering in anything but the
immediate object for which they periodically met, but he
stood before them as a country gentleman, anxious to
.pro-
mote an object so laudable, and so beneficial to the agricul-
turists of the kingdom.—(Cheers.) They all must regret
that their early education had not given them the advantages
of the of chemistry, as practically, adapted to agri-
cultural purposes. He had declined to take shares in that
Society, upon the principle tliat every shareholder should
have time to attend to the details of the Society to which he
had put his name, so that by so doing he might not mislead
others to add their names, upon the faith of seeing his name,
and thereby supposing that he would attend to its practical
operations. He would avoid that evil, as he was aware that
his many other avocations would prevent him from giving
sufficient attention to the details. He, however, so highly
approved of the Society, that although he.could not become
a subscriber for the reason he had stated, yet he most gladly
gave a donation to promote its establishment.—(Hear, hear.)
He would not have the Committee be too sanguine of making
any profit from the farm. He was a farmer himself, and he
was aware that farming was not so prosperous as most other
pursuits. He was of opinion that schools of agriculture were
much wanted in the country, and he had great pleasure in
proposing the first resolution (which was seconded by Dr.
Playfair) :—" That schools of agriculture are much wanted
in this country; in which a knowledge of the sciences now
admitted to be essential to the successful pursuit of agricul-
ture may be learned, in connection with the practical working
of alarm on the most approved principles."
. .

. .
Mr. Escorr proposed the second resolution, and said that
he gladly availed himself of joining a meeting that had so
important an object in view. He, in common with many
other persons, had long deplored the want of a proper esta-
blishment for the education of the agricultural population in
pursuits adapted to their after life. A most important fact
was developed and published by the agriculturists themselves,
as the wish to establish a college originated from a farmers'
club.—(Cheers.) The object of the meeting had his most
cordial support, and he moved the following resolution (which
was seconded by Mr. N. Goddard) :—" That the plan for the
establishment of an agricultural college, near Cirencester,
explained by the deputies attending that meeting, is calcu-
lated to effect that desirable object.'
The next resolution was to have been proposed by Lord
Spencer, but the Duke of Richmond explained to the meeting
that that nobleman was unavoidably absent, in consequence
of being in attendance on his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, who was inspecting the show-yard.
In the absence of Lord Spencer, Dr. EUCICLAND proposed,
and Mr. EYLE seconded the resolution :—" That this meeting
warmly. recommends the agricultural community to give
every support and encouragement to the establishment of the
college, which they regard as the first step in the right di-
rection for training up the rising generation of farmers upon
a sound foundation ; and they would especially urge on
farmers generally the importance of securing to their children
intended for the same occupation, the great advantages to be
derived from the kind of education provided by such an insti-
tution.

THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
MEETING AT SOUTHAMPTON.
SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24.—The show, with
all its concomitants of business and pleasure, hurry and
racketting, heat and smother, is progressing. Southampton
was full vesterday—is fuller to-day ; and the crowd here al-
ready, although great, is a trifle to what is expected to-
morrow. Every householder has turned a lodging house-
keeper for the nonce, although—except in the matter of
charging—they do not seem very au fait to their extempore
vocation. Indeed, so outrageous have been the demands that
a great many people have been fairly frightened away and
taken refuge in the neighbouring villages—most of which are
crowded.

Mr. PETER acknowledged the toast, expressing his satis.
faction with the decision of the judges. In the course of the few
remarks made by the Hon. Gentleman upon cattle breeding,
he took occasion to advert to the importance, in this branch
of agricultural matters, of paying, particular attention to
the blood of the sire.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to read the award as to the
sheep—a strong feeling of interest being displayed in the
meeting whenever he came to the Southdown breed. The
reading of the awards was concluded with the toast of " The
successful competitors in sheep."
The Duke of RICHMOND returned thanks. His Grace was
received with marked applause. He said he endeavoured to
return thanks as the holder of the second prize awarded to
the rams, and the first awarded to the ewes.—(A laugh.) He
was grateful for the acclamations which had hailed the award
of the judges in his favour. He had long been a candidate,
and he hoped had shown himself a good beaten man when
he had .been unsuccessful. He could not have ventured to
suppose that the animals would have won the prizes which
had been awarded to them, in a district which produced the
best short-wooled sheep in the universe. He would grate-
fully take home to his own county the premium awarded to
him. He returned thanks on behalf of Mr. Cambridge ":and
Mr. Grantham, as well as of himself—gentlemen whom he
had found it difficult to beat. He hoped, before sitting down,
that he would be allowed to allude to a report which he
had just heard, that some of his cattle had died from the
effects of poison ere they had reached Southampton. Dearly
would his success in any branch of agriculture have been
bought, had it been purchased at the expense of so foul a
stain upon the peasantry of the county which he was parti-
cularly connected with.—(Hear.) It was true that some of
his cattle had died, but there did not exist the slightest sus-
picion that poisoning had anything to do with their death,
or thatanything of the sort had ever been attempted.7--(Lood
cheers.) He feared that to some of their lean stock shows
they were apt to send beasts somewhat too fat, and he really
believed that his had died of inflammation.—(Cheers.) Per-
haps' he would be allowed for a moment, before he sat down,
to say a few words upon the subject of farm-labourers. He
would recommend every man present, both landowners and
land occupiers, to do their utmost for the amelioration of the
condition of that most deserving class of the community.--
(Hear.) It was not only their interest, but their bounden
duty to do this.—(Cheers.) He recommended the adoption
of the system pursued in his county, of giving adequate re-
wards to meritorious agricultural labourers—of inViting them
upon those occasions to sit down to dinner with themselves,
and generally of doing their utmost to induce the labourers
to look up to their employers as their best friends.—(Loud
cheers.) He himself recommended the adoption of a similar
system all over England.—(Cheers.)
The reading of the awards was then resumed, and con-
cluded by the toast of " The Successful Competitors in Pigs
and Extra Stock."
Mr. PUSEY returned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Implement Makers," re-
marking that the show in this respect was an improvement
upon that of last year at Derby.—(Hear, hear.) The exhi-
bitors were finding out every year what sort of machines
were wanted, and that the exhibition of inferior implements
was of no avail.—(Cheers.) He had great confidence in the
application of science to agriculture—he had great confidence
in the application of geology, chemistry, and botany ; but he
had still more in the application of mechanics.—(Cheers.)
The toast was acknowledged by Mr. CorrAm, who dwelt
upon the kindness with which the implement makers had
been received by the judges, and challenged the whole world
to produce such an exhibition of mechanical skill as applied to
agriculture, as they had seen that day.
Mr. HANDLEY proposed " The Stewards of the Yards."
Mr. MILES, M.P., returned thanks, as one of the stewards
of the implement yard. He urged upon the constructors of

the company upon the invention of what had been long a li
great desideratum—a .plough equally adapted to light and
heavy soils.
The Marquis of DowNSHHtE proposed " The health of the
Judges who awarded the premiums."
Drunk with three times three.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE then proposed " The health of the
President."

The toast was most enthusiastically received.
Earl SPENCER returned thanks. He was overpowered with
the reception which he had received, and the expression of
hearty goodwill which the toast of his health had received.
He congratulated the Society upon the exhibition of imple-
ments. He had not seen the show of stock; but from all that
he heard, he thought that it was very likely to prove a most
satisfactory one.—(Hear, and cheers.)
He proposed "The Earl of Hardwicke ;I' the toast was duly
acknowledged, and the company broke up at a reasonable
hour.

CHEAP LIGHT.

WARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole
Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
all the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly thaw the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are theretbre both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.

They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and

FARINA'S ESSENCE OF MEDICINAL
HERBS.

The above is the title of a new Preparation, which has been lately
brought to perfection at the celebrated Eau de Cologne Distillery of
John Maria Farina, 23, Rhine-street; Cologne, and which has already
attained an extraerdinary repute ; the Faculty having universally
recommended its use, and it being now generally adopted in all
parts of Germany.
Its qualities are manifold :—as a medicine it operates as a strength-
ener of the digestive organs ; is an excellent specific in cases of liver
complaints and bilious attacks ; induces an appetite either in robust
or sickly constitutions; is a certain remedy in cases of indigestion ;
and a never-failing cure for wounds and bruises : it allays the pain
of toothache, ruffles the skin from eruptions, and is a certain pre-
ventive of all cutaneous disorders. As a disinfectant it is infinitely
more efficient than Chloride of Soda ; and, when diluted with water,
it forms a delightful wash for the face and hands, imparting a clear
and healthy bloom to the complexion.
It consists of an extract of various medicinal herbs, mixed with the
purest spirits of wine. It possesses a pleasant taste and a delightful
perfume ; and forms an elegant appendage to the toilet.
Price per box (containing Three bottles) 65., or a box of Six bot-
tles, 10s. 6d. Each bottle will be wrapped in a paper fully descriptive
of its many excellent qualities.

. . . .

The Dake of Cambridge arrived at nine by the regular
extra train—if the expression be not a bull. His arrival was
announced by a royal salute from the battery. His Royal
Highness was received by the Mayor, Colonel Henderson,
but not officially by the Corporation, as was originally pro-
posed, in consequence of a wish being expressed that the
formality of a regular civic reception might be avoided. The
Duke proceeded to breakfast with Colonel Henderson, and
afterwards visited the implement yard, round which he was
attended by the stewards.

judges of the live stock are now busily employed- in
making their award. The most scrupulous silence has, of
course, been preserved as to its results, which will be an-
nounced to-day at the council dinner. No one, of course,
except the judges has as yet been able to penetrate the in-
tralia of the cattle yard ; but, from the appearance of the
stock as they were being transported thither, the knowing
in these matters prophecy a great display of short horns,
long horns, South Downs, Leicesters, &c.
We have just returned from a second view of the implement
yard. There are a greater number of visitors there than
yesterday, but not near so many as are expected to-morrow.
Most of them appeared to be practical men—substantial,
top-booted, square-built farmers, who lounged from tent to
tent, and machine to machine, attentively examining the
of some, wondering at others, and in
isomenip le m
casesen shakingts; approving
th
their heads despondingly, before complex
and abstruse-looking instruments, full of wheels, and hooks,
and levers, and all manner of formidable- looking mechanism ;
and saying, as clearly as looks can say anything, "This is far
too clever for me." However, we do not mean to say that
this was the general feeling apparent. A number of gentle.
men—evidently practical farmers--examined the implements
with care and intelligence, criticised their different parts and
probable performances with that acuteness and confidence
which showed how thoroughly their various excellences were
understood and appreciated. The exhibitors were, in many
instances, present, working and explaining their machines.
A considerable number of ladies were also present, adding
life and variety to the appearance of the criticising groups,
clustered in lines along the columns of machines. On the
outside of the show ground a considerable number of imple-
ments were at work, surrounded by groups of admirers or
depreciators, as the case might be. There were clod-breakers,
drain-tile makers, scarifiers, and all manner of novelties, hard
at work.
A perfect • city of booths for the dispensation of creature
comforts, and boasting all manner of pompous titles, has
sprung up round the fenced-in yard, like suburbs round a
walled town. There are eating booths, drinking-booths,
dancing-booths, gay with coloured lamps--at least they will
be so when night comes on—and caravans and tents in which
curiosities without number are hourly exhibited. To give
you some idea of the charges at which the good folks here
exhibit their hospitality, we may mention that in one of the
common canvas-roofed booths surrounding the exhibition
ground, a plate of chicken and ham is marked up and dis-
pensed there for the moderate sum of Fix shillings ! The
owner of the ground at Portswood must be making some-
thing comfortable—at 2s. 6d. per foot of frontage, and an
additional sum fOr extension beyond a certain point in the
rear, is paid by the booth erectors. A pretty constant
stream of omnibuses, coaches, cars, and cabs, some of them
of most primitive construction, is kept up between South-
ampton and the ground. The road is hilly—the heat and
dust almost unbearable, and whoever may have cause to
bless the Southampton show, certainly the unfortunate
horses have not.
A number of the London police are here—many of them
in plain clothes, and the precaution is necessarz, as
the inspector stated that a number of very suspicious
characters are about, who have left town in the exercise of
their vocation. We have not, however, heard of any depre-
dation being committed, with the exception of the temporary
abduction of a horse and cart—rather unwieldy, not to say
dangerous, booty—and which was recovered by the exertions
of the police.
While we are writing, the trains from London continue to
pour in additional visitors. There were two extra trains
this morning, each of which performed the distance within
them,t,h et oexhporuersss.ed The

Lis
.une% the superin-
tendent arrived by one of
here, at the speed at which he had travelled, adding,
that he had never performed a railway journey of a similar
length so easily or so pleasantly in his' life. Three extra
trains are expected this evening, and to-morrow a great
number will be dispatched.
One of the features in the proceedings of to-day will be
4he meeting of the Cirencester Agricultural College.
The authorities of several of the neighbouring towns—
Winchester, Newport, Gosport, &c., have issued addresses
,

The Duke of RICHMOND proposed, and Dr. DAUBENY se-
conded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Pusey, for the service he had
rendered to the agriculturists generally, and for his conduct
in the chair.

The design of this work will be tolerably obvious from its title,
and we cordially recommend the author and his book to all who are
sdffering from nervous debility and general weakness."— Wakefield

EXTENSIVE FAILURE.—A sensation has been pro-
duced this week in Congleton and Macclesfield, by the
failure, under rather extraordinary circumstances, of a per-
son in the former town, connected with the silk trade. The
exact extent of the liabilities we have not heard, though
rumour states them to amount to about 20,000/. It appears
that forged bills have been paid in a great number of in-
stances to the creditors, in amounts varying from 901. to ;Oa
A number of those bills have been forged on a honse in Mac-
clesfield, with whom the party had had transactions; and, it
is said, the various signatures have been counterfeited so ex-
actly, that it is scarcely possible to detect them. So late as.
Monday last the gentleman obtained a considerable quantity
of silk from a firm in Macclesfield, no suspicion having been
entertained. On Tuesday, however, the matter got wind,
and a messenger was dispatched to'Congleton, who, with
some difficulty, recovered the silk, and brought it back to,
this town the same day. The individual has not been seen
in this neighbourhood since very early on Tuesday morning,
when, it is said, he passed through Macclesfield, and it is ru-
moured that he has sailed for America.—Macclesfield Chronicle.
BANKRUPTCY OF ALDERMAN THOMAS JOHNSON.-.-.
Yesterday being appointed for the proof of debts at the late
-eking establishment of Messrs. Thomas Johnson and Co.,
imford, it being also market day, considerable excite-
prevailed throughout the town, and as early as ten
ck in the morning the doors of the late banking-house
„-ere besieged by the creditors who held notes of the firm.
The sub-registrar and three clerks were in attendance, to re-
ceive the claims of the applicants. The class of persons who
thronged the counter to offer proor, of debts were principally
small farmers from the neighbouring parishes, who held sec,n-
rides to amounts varying from 501. to 150/, and many of
these cases were of a most distressing character, as several of
these hard-working and industrious men had sold their
cattle and other commodities in the market, in order to meet
the half-yearly demand of their landlords; and in many in-
stances had taken their notes in payment for the sales
they had effected only a day before the bank suspended
payment. These poor fellows were not only unable to.
meet their demands, but are reduced from comparative
affluence to the greatest penury, the disastrous failure hav-
ing completely effected their entire ruin. To the usual
question put to the clerk by the different creditors, as to
whether " they held the notes previous to the bankruptcy,
and had given full value," the response given was generally
a sullen " Yes," and that they had parted with the sub-
stance for the shadow, and were afraid " they'd get nought
in return for the bits of waste paper." A general impres-
sion prevailed throughout the town, 'that besides the
proof of debts, there would also be a meeting of cre-
ditors, and an examination of the bankrupt in person.
by the Learned Commissioner who opened the fiat, Mr.
Sergeant- Goulburn ; but this IS an error, as the next
examination is appointed to take place in London, on the
12th of August next, at the Bankruptcy Court, 'Basing-
hall-street. Had Mr. Alderman Johnson made his ap-
pearance in Romiord, as was expected, his reception would,
have been far from a courteous one ; some very uncompli-
mentary expressions were made use of by the unfortunate
men in the vicinity of the bank 1 and curses, both loud and
deep, were bandied about in no measured terms. One
unfortunate farmer, who held notes to the amount of between
3001. and 4001., caused great merriment, by declaring " He'd
never wait for a dividend, and would go to t'other end of
town, and tell Mr. Auctioneer to sell 'um outright, and would
go and buy ship' (sheep) for what they would fetch, as be
reckoned the leywers would get all." We did not hear the
amount of debts proved, but we know it was considerable,
and as we have before stated, prinoipslly by small farmers,
who have been in the habit of taking the notes of the late
firm in all their business transactions, and even preferred the
notes of the Aldermau to those of the Bank of. England. The
consist
sale of the banlqupt's effects will take place at Romford, on

the sale will yield any great amount. It was currently re-
ported in liotufbrd,yesterday, that owing to the large amount
of notes in circulation, there will be little or nothing for the

creditof rors. A

nothing at Itto mAldgate establishment, as there is next to

Tlig 444 TE FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.--
An inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the White Hart
hlillbank-row, before Mr. Higgs, on the body of John Bur-
den, aged 23, who was drowned in the river on Sunday
night last. From the evidence of John Farmington and
Charles Davis, it appeared that on Sunday evening last they
hired a boat of Mr. Tomlinson, of HungerfOrd-tharket, and.
with the deceased, rowed up the river to the Swan at Chel-
sea. Being joined there by an acquaintance, they started
again for Putney-bridge, and, at a late hour, arrived there.
They all drank rather freely at the last-mentioned place,
and it was stated by one of the witnesses that the deceased
was not sober. Howgver, they got into the boat again, and
though it wag almost eleven o'clock, and quite dark,
thought tlev could reach Hungerford-market. They ar-
riv`ll at the' Horseferry, near Milbank, in safety, but at a
time when much confusion and excitement prevailed on
that part of the river, in consequence of the upsetting of a
cutter, and the loss of three lives. Before they were in the
least aware that they were in any danger they found their
boat come in contact with a barge, which, owing to the:
darkness of the night, they were not able to distinguish,.
The boat suffered no injury, and they would probably hare
sat in her with safety had they not been called to, and tried
to get into the barge. Just after the others had got in de-,
ceased was missed, but the prevailing darkness prevented -Any
one from seeing in what manner he disappeared. It was sup--
posed that he fell in his attempt to climb on to the barge. ()n
Tuesday morning his body was found off Lucas's wharf by a
fisherman named John Collins, who was then dragging the
river for the three persons upset from the cutter. Verdict—
Accidental death.

THE NELSON MONUMENT.—It was stated on Mon-
day night in the House of Commons, by Sir R. Peel, in
reply to Mr. Wyse, that an offer had been made by an
eminent artist to complete the Nelson Monument, which
offer the Government had rejected. Most of our Con-
temporaries, in their report of the following morning.,
stated that the artist who made this offer was named
Parsons, and that he stipulated to receive 5,0001. This
statement is wholly erroneous. The artist who made
this offer was Mr. Patric Park, the sculptor. The offer
was made to the Nelson committee, and not to the
Government, and Mr. Park, with a public spiritedness
and generosity seldom equalled, offered to complete the
monument on his own responsibility, and at his own
cost, rather than that any further difficult), should occur
in the matter, or that the committee should be beholden,
to the liberality of a foreign potentate for the means of
completing .a national testimonial to a British hero.
