ANTI.MATRIMONIAL PARTSIL—A Correspondent
informs us that the parish of Silchester, famed far and
near for its remains as a Roman town, is scarce
less worthy of note for the numbers of bachelors
and spinsters it contains. Some time since, at a
vestry dinner held there, it was a remarkable fact
that there was not a married man amongst the
party, which consisted of seven; and on a recent
occasion, when a gentleman from a distant county,
by way of example, led one of the damsels of the
neighbourhood to the altar, the minister could
not tell him the amount of the fees, declaring, that
though he had been in office for ten years, this was
the first marriage by license that had taken place.—

An anonymous contributor, hiding his benevolence
under the initials "A. 8.," has forwarded the muni-
ficent donation of 2001. to the Charing-cross Hospital,
through the hands of the Rev. G. H. Bowers, the
Rector of Covent Garden.

ACCIDENT TO ADMIRAL Sln C. NUOENT.—We
regret to announce that a serious accident has hap-
pened to Sir C. Nugent. As the Gallant Admiral was
leaving his banker's (Messrs. Drummond's), Charing-
cross, on Monday afternoon, he stopped ito take
a view of the Nelson Monument erecting in Tra-
falgar-square. Whilst in the act of minutely look-
ing at the column, his foot slipped, and the Gallant
Officer fell on the curb stone, the effect of which
was a serious fracture of the thigh bone near
the hip. Admiral Nugent was immediately con-
veyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where the
most prompt surgical attendance was given,
and every attention paid, and to-day we are in-
formed that the Gallant Officer is going, on very
favourably, but from his advanced age (85), no san-
guine hope of a perfect restoration to health can le en-
tertained. No dangerous result is, however, at pre-
sent expected. The Gallant Admiral has expressed a
wish not to be removed from the hospital until i.e re-
covers, as he feels convinced that every attention will
Le paid to his wants and comforts.
