On Wednesday morning, a man named Col-
lins, one of the artisans engaged in the works
at Carlton-palace, was at work on the roof of the
plate-room, assisting in lowering some heavy cast-
iron ribs to the ground, when an iron ridge which
supported them broke, and the poor fellow was
precipitated to the ground, a height of 50 feet ;
and such was the violence of the fall, that his
skull was most terrifically fractured, as was also
the spine, and his right leg very much injured.
The unfortunate sufferer was placed on a shutter,
and carried by some of his fellow-workmen to
St. George's Hospital, but he died immediately
on his arrival. He has left a wife and two chil-
dren to deplore his loss.
ALARMING FLOOD.—The neighbourhood
of Romney-marsh, near Rye, has been consider-
ably alarmed by the destruction of Pinkerton-
sluice, on Wednesday, by an uncommonly high
tide. The wreck of the sluice, floating on the
river, has destroyed a bridge near it ; the water,
unchecked by the sluice, forced its way up seve-
ral streams, damaged many bridges, and broke
the banks of the streams near those bridges. A
considerable portion of Romney-marsh was laid
under water, much of which has no natural
means of returning from off the surface, and must
gradually soak into the ground. The further
progress of the water has been prevented by a
temporary darn at Bucket's bridge, four miles
from where it broke out. The extent of the da-
mage cannot be ascertained • 40 acres of wheat,
the property of Mr. Cheeseman, of Steine, and
45 acres of fatting-land, the property of Mr.
Selmes, were laid under water. No cattle has
been lost ; the height to vvhich the water rose
was not sufficient to, effect their destruction.—
Workmen are daily employed, and great hopes
are entertained of speedily repairing the damage.

My dear Duke—l feel very much• lialolged to
kind reception you gave *me this morning.
I enclose you the Lord Chancellor's judgment ; I also,
with deep regret, enclose you my father's affidavit, con-
nected with others. lam now placed in this heart-rend-
ing situation, that I must either, in the House of Lords,
have the support of my family, or I must in some way
answer Lord Maryborough's affidavit. For God's sake !
prevent my collision with my father, or any other branches
of my family.
I certainly did not expect that the Chancellor would
tave mixed my family up in this melancholy affair as he
has done; but having done so, I leave it in your hands,
fully convinced that you will see the propriety of my call-
ing upon you to prevent furtirer discussions which relate to
me and my family.
I will not risk again (as I have done in Chancery) in
the House of Lords, the obtaining of the full and free
possession of my children. I have always held the duties
of a son towards his father to be so paramount, that I
never can have the slightest hesitation to lay myself at his
feet, and ask his pardon, with all humility, for any unin-
tentional offence I may have given him. •
Pray bring this matter to a speedy conclusion between
my father and myself, that I may be enabled before Easter,
to instruct my Counsel.
Believe, me, my dear Duke, most affectionately,
(Signed) W. L. WELLESLEY.

eon-, IN ANSWER TO MR. WELLESLEY'S LETTER OF TB}:
16TH OF MARCH.
London, March 17, 1827.
My dear Wit have received your letter, and re-
turn the enclosures.

I understood from you that you would enable me to
state to your father that which should be calculated to re-
concile his mind to you.
Even that part of your letter which states that you can
have no hesitation to ask his pardon, is not positive ; nor is
the intentiox conveyed in terms calculated to produce. the
effect which you state that you wish to produce. But when
I advert to the first part of the letter, I think it appears but
too clearly that the intention to take this step in relation
to your father, depends upon your having the support of
your family," in your appeal to the House of Lords. If
you have not this, it appear that " you must in some way
answer Lord 111aryborough's affidavit." I conclude that
this answer must lead to fresh collision with your father ;
and no man reasonably expects your father, already offend-
ed with you, should forgive and forget all former causes of
offence, leaving banging over him the fresh causes of com-
plaint which will be given to him by your answer.
What the Chancellor said.in delivering his judgment is
very clear,—" None of the family would suggest to the
Chancellor that they thought Mr. Wellesley should have
the care of his children." 1 positively ofused to yourself
to answer an affidavit containing such a suggestion ; and I
am certain that if you are anxious that I should convey to
your father your anxiety to be reconciled to him, you will
do best to state that anxiety in clear, distinct terms, and
without reference to conditions.

Believe me, ever your most affectionately,
(Signed) WELLINGTON.

Hall-place, Mardi 16, 182'7.
My dear Duke,—ln answer to your letter of this morn-
ing; I can but again express, in the most positive terms,
my anxious desire to be reconciled to soy father, and to
repeat that I have always held the duties of a son to a
father to be so paramount, that I can never have" the
slightest hesitation in laying myself at his feet, and asking
his pardon, with all humility, for any unintentional offence
I may have given him.
I implore of you to bring this reconciliation to bear be-
tween my father and me.
I can assure you, I desire MOST to he recon-
ciled to Lord Maryborough.

Believe me, my dear Duke, most affectionately, •
(Signed) W. L. WELLESLEY.

COPY OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S LETTER IN AN-
SWER TO MR.-WELLESLEY'S OF MARC,, 16, 1827.
London, March 21, 1827.
My dear William,—lt will really answer no good'pur-
pose, indeed it will do more harm than good, for me to
approach your father upon the subject of his displeasure
with you, with the general statement in my hands con-
tained in your letters.
I wish you would recall to your recollection all that has
passed, and all that you have said against your father, I
believe frequently without thought. You told -me that
you had copies of every letter you had ever written, and
I entreat you to revise your correspondence with your
father, and see whether some of your letters were not of a
nature to give him reasonable cause of offence.
I assure you that I am ready to undertake, and forward
your reconciliation with him, whenever you will enable.
me to do so in a manner with which I shall he satisfied.
Ever, my dear William, your most affectionately
(Signed) WELLINGTON,

TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

Hall-place, March 21, 1827.

My dear Duke—l really am exceedingly obliged to you
for the interest you have been so kind as to take in- this
business, which is so near my heart, and I should hold
myself to be insensible, as well as wholly unworthy of it, did
I not endeavour to facilitate the accomplishment of that
which I verily believe to be both our wishes.

As to having said any thing against my father, if I ever
did, it was, I allow, extremely culpable, and I should be
ashamed of myself if I did not make a most humble apology.
But at the time I have been accused of the offence, I was
confined to my bed and room for nine months by illness,
and had no communication with any other persons than
Mrs. Bligh and my medical attendance, and, God knows,
I said nothing to them about my father.
I have already stated all this to Lady Maryborough, and
to others connected with my father and mother.
Since the receipt of your letter of this morning, Mrs.
Bligh has found the inclosed memorandum, or notes of a
letter to my father. Ido not know if it be an accurate
copy or not of What I wrote to: him ; it, however, must
contain the substance of a letter which I must have written
to him from Dieppe. These notes were taken by Mrs.
Bligh, and continued with her papers ; therefore I was not
aware of their existence.
If this be the letter of which my father complains, I ant
sure I am most ready to express my deep regret at ever
having written it, and my anxious hope that my father
will accept my thorough contrition, and extend to me his
forgiveness.
I hope you will see, my dear Duke, in this communica-
111uhri
ec h e
o I,n ,
fi(n wt my con-
science,
oLordtion to you, my earnest desire that, through your kndness,
a thorough reconciliation may be speedily effected, which I
feel to be necessary for the welfare and happiness of all con-
cerned

Believe me, my dear Duke, most affectionately,

22D OF JANUARY, 1825.

• Dieppe.
Thus stands the facts. I told you, in London, at the
Duke of Cumberland's apartments, I would not interfere
with the management of my property during the continua-
tion of the trust ; but be pleased to bring to your recollec-
tion, that this observation of mine (not solemn promise)
grew out of your repeated assertions to me, after you had
examined the state of my affairs, and seen my people of
business, that in two years they could not fail to be brought
about provided I lived abroad during that period of time
upon 5,000/. per annum. Upon that income I have lived,

1824, an as to impede my going home, provided I followed,
as I (lid, your opinion. Also at this time, at Paris, I exe-
cuted, unhesitatingly, deeds, papers, &c. &c. upon this be-
lief of my being enabled to go home on the 29th of Sep-
tember, 1824. These assertion were repeatedly reiterated
by you to others, and by others to me. The of entire my
conduct, since Jtily last, has been governed by a full, free,
and unbounded confidence in your word, repeatedly given,
that, after the 29th of September, 1821, the power of my
being a free agent in England, could not be disputed.—
This is the 22d of January, 1825 ; here I am, my affairs
unsettled, and without the means of going to England.
My surprise was certainly unbounded when I received,
about the Bth or 9th of October last, two papers, marked
No. I and 2, purporting to be a statement of my affairs,
but so inaccurately worded, and so vague as to general in-
formation, as to be even now, to my poor judgment, in-
-I.comprehensible. If my surprise at the statement was great,
