THE SPECULATION MANIA
Among the new companies to which the present mania for
speculation has given rise, the following seems promising on
account of its extreme novelty. That the merits of the concern
may be well understood, we print, in extenso, the
" PROSPECTUS OF THE GRAND PIC-NIC JUNCTION AND
GREAT ALIMENTARY CANAL Co trawr.—The capital will
consist of two hundred thousand spoons, and the Company
has been already provisionally registered. The object of this
vast national undertaking is to develope the resources of
pit-nics to a greater extent than has ever yet been at-
tempted. The Directors have it in contemplation to pur-
chase the Petersham meadows, and lay down a line of
plates from one end to the other with a cold collation at
each of the grand termini, and sandwiches at all the interme-
diate stations. It has been calculated that the Company
will thus secure all the pic-nic traffic from the Great
Western road ; and the addition of a branch to Hampton
Court will greatly augment the probable profits
of the shareholders. It is intended subsequently to open a
communication between Sandwich and Ham Common, from
which a large revenue may be looked for. The directors have
ascertained that five hundred fillets of veal and an equal num-
ber of rounds of beef are annually consumed in pic-nics ; and
having secured the services of a celebrated engineer, of Vaux-
hall-slice celebrity, they calculate that the cuttings may be
conducted on the most economical principles. The provisional
committee are daily engaged in trying experiments at the
board on the best means of supplying the alimentary canal, and
the deposits paid by shareholders will be devoted to the pre
liminary expenses which are being now incurred for the pur-
pose alluded to. Prospectuses and further particulars may be
had at the company's temporary offices on the Eel Pie Island ;
nd in the mean time it is hoped that the announcement of
ache Humphrey as chairman, will inspire the public withcon-
fidence in the solidity of the undertaking.—Punch.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF THE AFRICAN ROSCICS
—LLANIDI.OES, JULY 28. —lt is with extreme regret I have
to inform you of a most melancholy and fatal accident that oc-
curred to Mr. Aldridge, the African Roscius. From the in-
terest you and your friends took in him during his sojourn
among you, I feel satisfied that you would sympathise in his
friends' bereavement, and the loss to the stage of one of its
most promising ornaments. Mr. A. was returning in his car-
riage from the seat of Colonel Powell, where he had been
driving about, and when within half a mile of this town one 'of
the horses took fright at the blaze of light from the iron-works
with which this country is studded; this occurred on the brink
of a precipice, over which the carriage swerved with its in-
mate, dragging the horses and postilion, who had net time to
disengage himself. The footman had a most providential
escape ; he was in the act of alighting to seize the horses
heads as the carriage was precipitated over the cliff. It is
needless to add that Mr. Aldridge,- the postilion, and horses
were killed upon the spot—the arriag i.
e beinf4' dashed to atoms.
The place where this frightful accident occurred is

HENRY HUNT'S SON.—On Tuesday afternoon the
remains of Mr. Hunt, the only surviving son of the late Henry
Hunt, the celebrated advocate of Universal Suffrage, and who
for many years represented Preston in Parliament, were in-
terred in the new burial-ground, near the Old Church, Lam-
beth. The deceased, who is the subject of this notice, suc-
ceeded his father in the extensive blacking-manufactory, which
his father, amidst the turmoil of political agitation, established
in Broadwall, Blackfriars; but as he did net possess the spirit
or enterprise of his father, the business soon went to decay,
and for several years past he subsisted partly upon an annuity,
and partly on the bounty of his late father's political friends.
The deceased was the last of an ancient family, and the only
one that had obtained notoriety was his father, who began his
political career as a Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliament
man, and continued to advocate those principles till the close
of his political career. Henry Hunt, the younger, during his
father's lifetime, made the tour of Europe, and travelled through
the whole of the United States of America and Canada.. For
some time past he had been living in a very retired manner at
No. 41, George-street, liegent-street, Lambeth. About five
weeks ago he was attacked with illness, and he died on Wed-
nesday. July 30, in the 45th year of his age. Many of his
fathers political friends wished to follow the remains of the
deceased to the grave as mourners, but the offer was declines!
by those who had the management of the funeral ; and the
mourners consisted only of his lase father's servant, a very old
man, who said he had witnessed the burial of three generations
of the Hunts; Mr. Mackintosh, pre irietor of the Old lied
Lion Tavern, Westminster-bridge ; the brother of Mr. Mackin-
tosh, Mr. Braithwaite, the deceased's solicitor ; \lr. M'Der-
mot and Mr. Newman, his medical attendants ; and Mr. El-
more, the horse-dealer, of Ockendon. The deceased has left
a widow, from whom he has been separated many years, in
consequence of a distressing malady, under which she is still
labouring. Mr. Henry Hunt obtained considerable notoriety
during his.father's lifetime by driving a blacking-van, drawn
by eight horses, across the Serpentine River, while it was
frozen over. He was greatly respected, and a more estimable
man never existed. His mother is still living at Bath, and is
upwards of fourscore years old.

DEATH or BERNARD CAVANAGH, TIIE FASTING
Max.—This individual, who three or four years since excited
some attention in the metropolis by professing to exist without
sustenance, liquid or solid, expired on Sunda) last, in Ilucoat S-
lane, in his thirty-second sear. He had recently kept a huckster's
shop, in which he had failed. He had gone by an assumed name,
and his right one did not transpire till shortly before his death.
His brother, who was with him when he exhibited himself in
London, was present. The deceased was of parsimonious habit a,
and often reduced to great extremities, but has left money in
the Bank.
An eagle at Orkney lately flew off with a hen,
which, however, he dropped to make a stoop on a young pig.
The latter being defended by the suw, and the hen having
escaped, the royal bird was compel:A to make eff with a di;-
appointed maw.
