expected.—Bristol Mercury.
SIR CHARLES NUGENT.—We are happy in being
able to state that this gallant officer has so far reco-
vered from the effects of his late serious accident, as
to be able to sit up for some time every day. Sir
'Charles, however, at his own request, remains at
Charing Cross Hospital, where every attention is paid
him by the officers of that excellent institution.
