TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—For the purpose of correcting an (I ant sure un-
intentional) mis-statement which has been just pointed
out .to me in your paper of Monday last, allow me to
quote from it the following passage :

" ALLEGED PERJURY-THE SING V. lIIGNOLD.

" This was an indictment for perjury against an attor-
ney, but the allegations could not be supported, and the
defendant was acquitted."
I am the only attorney of the name of Bignold, and am
not the defendant alluded to in the above passage, nor was
I ever, either professionally or as a principal, in any way
concerned with, or implicated in any charge of this nature.
I am Sir, your obedient Servant,
4, New Bridge-street, THOS. BIGNOLD, Jun.
Blsokfriars, Thursday, May 8, 1829.
[We regret the mistake, which arose entirely from a
misapprehension of our Reporter.]

The Earl of EGRENIONT has contradicted, in
the Brighton Gazette, the report which appeared in some
of the London Papers, of his having given 10,0001. to Mr.
CAREW, the sculptor, for some work which that gentle-
man had performed for him. The Earl says of the report
--.4, This is ridiculous nonsense, and, in that point of view,
is of little consequence; but if not contradicted, it will be
verrinjurious to a very ingenious artist, and a very modest
and deserving man ; for nobody will think of employing a
sculptor of such exaggerated and absurd pretensions."
lIANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.—Miss CHAM-
BERS took a benefit at these Rooms yesterday, which we
were happy to see attended by a very numerous and re-
spectable audience. On presenting herself she was re-
ceived with loud applause. The first air she sung was,
Infelici ogni di, which she went through with consider-
able success. The embarrassment under which she la •
boured contributed, no doubt to lessen the effect. Her
voice is deficient in strength, but it is clear and melo-
dious, and she manages it with great skill. The duet
Presso un ruscello limpido, performed by her and DoN-
ZELLI, was loudly and justly applauded. The terzetto
L'usato ardir, performed by them and VELLUTI, also
gave great satisfaction. Miss Dtcxxxs, a pupil of
MoscHELEs, played a fantasia on the pianoforte, with great
taste and skill.

CONSECRATION OF A NEW CHURCH IN
BERMONDSEY.—The consecration of the new Church, de-
dicated to Sr. JAMES, in Bermondsey, took place yester-
day, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of WINCHESTER.
The novelty of the occasion attracted a most crowded and
fashionable attendance of the inhabitants of the parish of
Bermondsey, immediately resident within the district of
the new Church of St. James; and when the brilliant
circle of beauty had been accommodated in the pews and
galleries of the Church, the coup Weed was grand, and ex-
tremely interesting. It was computed that nearly 2,000
persons were present.

The Bishop of KILDARE has presented the
valuable living of St. Mary, Dublin, to his son, Archdeacon
LINDSAY. The Brunswick Press affects to regard this as
an act of the Government, in requital of the Bishop's
vote upon the Catholic Question ; but the right presenta-
tion lay with the Bishop, as Dean of Christ Church, and
he very naturally gave it to a young gentleman who had
only two livings before,-.4l9rning Paper.
