The two Parts before us of this periodical contain
descriptions of the counties of Cornwall and Lanca-
shire, accompanied by illustrations, executed by
some of our ablest engravers in a very supe-
rior style of art. The sketches of Liverpool
convey a very vivid idea of the architectural beauty
of this rising and wealthy town, and no public build-
ing. of importance, or place of popular resort is omit-
ted. Some of the most striking and picturesque
scenes of Cornwall are also dPlineated with rare skill
and spirit. Of its sort, the present work is decidedly
the best of the day, and far surpasses all our old Eng-
glish itineraries, both as respects design and execution.

addition, some curious details of the scenery, prin-
cipal towns, romantic buildings, and other peculiari-
ties of the county of Meath. The Part is embellished

ERECTION OF THE STATUE TO
ADM Ili AL SIR. PULTENEY MA LCOLAI.
(Abridged from the Carlisle. Journal.)
Wednesday last having been fixed for the ceremony of
erecting upon its pedestal the Statue of the late Admiral
Sir Pulteney Malcolm, upcn:which Mr. Dunbar has been
engaged for the last two years, the little town of Lang-
helm, whose inhabitants have been on the qui vice since
the announcement was made; began early to assume a
more than usually bustling appearance. The band which
paraded the street early in the morning reminded the
good folks of the town that an interesting event was ai
hand, and notwithstanding the dirty state of the roads,
occasioned by the snow which had fallen during the night,
a large number of persons residing the neighbourhood
assembled to witness the ceremony.
The statute had been erected on the Ist March, but
had remained covered, since. that time. One o'clock on
Wednesday was fixed upon for unrobing it. Before the
, paraded about the streets, accompanied by an efficient
band of music. Shortly after . one o'clock, a procession
situated
was formed, and headed by Sir James Malcolm, Sir C.

&c., mounted the platform erected in front of the monu-
ment for the occasion. The band then struck up " Bute
Britannia," and the cloth having been removed from the
statue the crowd gave three hearty cheers.
The statue, which is seven feet high, stands upon a. pe-
destal of granite eleven feet', high, so that it is raised
eighteen feet from the street level. It is made of the
most durable Italian marble, and represents Sir Pulteney
in the costume of a British Admiral. Ilis left hand rest:
upon the hilt of his sword, and his right upon the Orders
of St. Michael and St. John, which appc.nr on his breast.
All who knew Sir Pulteney say the likeness is admirable.
The front of the pedestal bears the following inscription: '
In honour of Admiral Sir Pulteney Male( dm.
G.C.8., G.C.M.G., born February 21, 1768, died July
20, 1833." The statue and pedestal together weigh about
ten tons. The whole is enclosed by four strong iron rails
resting horizontally upon four blocks of granite cut into
the form of cannon.
' After a brief address, suitable to the. occasion, by Sir
James Malcolm, the procession and crowds dispersed.
At three o'clock, afterwards, upwards of fifty gentlemen
sat down to a dinner at the Crown Inn, and a party of
forty, comprising the tradesmen of Langholm, in another
room. A ball afterwards, at eight_o'clock, in honour of
' , the occasion, was well attended.
